Lions II was originally a less upright emperor. His father, Lions I, the first emperor of the Lions Empire, is still retiring in the Tang Empire.
The Lions II secretly reached a deal with the Tang Empire at that time and asked the Tang Empire to help "kill" his father. Only then did he successfully ascend to the throne and become the second in the Lions Empire.
emperor.
Of course, Lions II himself did not know this, or he was not sure whether his father was still alive. This had become a heart problem for him, a heart problem that always made him uneasy.
Now, many problems are faced by Lions II: if the Tang Empire really has his handle, he may not be able to secure his current position by then.
Another serious problem is that he, the emperor, only succeeded to the throne when the Lions Empire was on the decline. This kind of emperor who came to power against the wind was actually not able to fully control the situation in many cases.
Among the ministers left behind by his father, many of them controlled a lot of real power. They might be able to obey the command of Lions I, but they did not pay much attention to Lions II.
For example, the former Prime Minister of the Lions Empire has always been a thorn in the side of Lions II. In recent years, Lions II has not been busy with anything else. He has devoted almost all his energy to cleaning up the group of people left behind by his father.
On the important ministers.
He finally managed to clean up the court, but as a result, along with his stupidity and willfulness, the national power of the entire Lions Empire became even weaker.
There is no way, after all this hard work, if the national power can still flourish, then it will really be a ghost.
Originally, the Lions Empire had a relatively good foundation among the many empires in the Eastern Continent. It inherited the best parts of the Datang Group and owned industrial zones such as Bunas and Yucheng that were second only to the Datang Empire in terms of technology.
However, no matter how strong the foundation is, it cannot withstand the disasters caused by the two emperors of Lions... Lions I personally went on a personal expedition and led the navy to conduct a surprise attack on Dragon Island but failed, almost losing all the essence that Lions had accumulated over the years.
It was a modern navy with many aircraft carriers and a large number of battleships. To build such a navy, the investment over many years was unimaginable. As a result, the navy was completely wiped out in one battle, and Lions I himself became the Tang Empire.
of prisoners.
So many talents accumulated over the years have become cannon fodder. Once the fleet that a country has vigorously built is destroyed, the most important thing is that the backbone of the empire disappears overnight. How can this prevent the collapse of the Lions Empire?
Lions II, who inherited the throne of Lions, was originally much worse than his father. He was even more dandy, and focused his main energy on internal fighting and killing the old officials of the previous court left behind by his father.
Building a palace is actually just a manifestation of Lions II's extravagant desires. The underlying logic is that he hopes to use the building of a palace to rectify his name, to cover up his guilty conscience of improper access to the throne, and at the same time to screen obedient ministers and cultivate himself.
With his wings, he suppressed those old ministers who disobeyed him.
No matter how correct his reasons were, the final result was that the national power of the Lions Empire began to weaken. After the failed sneak attack on Dragon Island, it collapsed and has not recovered until now.
In order to consolidate his power, he recruited new people on a large scale. In order to ensure that these new subordinates were loyal to him, he even tolerated their greed and incompetence.
In such an environment, the empire's bureaucracy became increasingly decadent and mediocre, which directly caused the collapse of the Lynes Empire's administrative capabilities.
The weakening of national power, in turn, put the imperial power of Lions II in crisis. People generally missed the time when Lions I was in power: at least at that time, everyone could barely live a life, but now they are about to be burdened by complicated taxes and various kinds of taxes and fees.
The pressure and torture in various ways made me breathless.
Originally, the entire empire was still supported by the army as a pillar, and no matter how you looked at it, it could still manage to sustain it for a while. But with the failure of the two century battles to support the Ice Empire and the Poplar Empire, the expedition force assembled by the Lions Empire
The losses were overwhelming and the Lions empire was once again in trouble.
The already dilapidated imperial structure began to collapse as the army lost millions of troops in foreign lands. Problems that could be patched up before have now surfaced.
The entire empire is in an atmosphere of defeat. Nearly two million troops have left without returning, which has depressed the country to the extreme.
Now, the elite troops of the Lines Empire guarding the home led by Paul suffered another defeat in Bunas, and Lines II's nervous heartstrings became tense again.
Listening to the ministers arguing in front of him, Lions II's sensitive nerves began to beat. He now looked at everyone as if they were traitors who were not loyal to him, and everyone felt that the other party was planning a rebellion against him.
Last night, he even dreamed about his father. In the dream, his father turned into a ghost and came to judge him for the crime of killing his father and usurping the throne.
He was so frightened that he started to stand between the two women, and his nightgown was soaked with cold sweat. Then he drove away all the concubines who were sleeping with him, because he always felt that someone was trying to kill him.
He hadn't slept well all night, and now he was being noisy by a group of ministers, so he slapped the table in annoyance and shouted to silence the entire venue.
As a result, Lions II became embarrassed during this silence. Everyone looked at him, waiting for him, the emperor, to speak.
What made it difficult for Ryans II to get off the stage was that he was not prepared to speak at all. He just burst out suddenly because he had a splitting headache from being quarreled just now.
"Telegraph Paul to immediately retreat to Jade City to deploy a defense line! No matter what, we must defend there! Fight until the last soldier and not retreat!" After holding on for a long time, Lions II finally refused to accept his failure and squeezed out.
Such a command came out.
Of course, he was not willing to hand over his throne to others. After all, this was something he had paid the price of "patriricide". He had not tasted the sweetness of power enough, so how could he just hand it over so casually?
At least, that's what he decided before Yucheng was lost...
After hearing his order, the chattering ministers all shut their mouths. Most of them got to their current position by holding on to the lap of Lions II, and their abilities are unknown.
Yes, but they know where their power comes from.
Now that the emperor decided to struggle a little longer, they could continue to mess around.
At least, that's what they thought before Yucheng was lost...
