Li Ke looked at Varian curiously. In fact, Varian didn't have to come to watch the execution of these people, but Varian insisted on coming and watched, and seemed to be in a good mood.
This made Li Ke feel a little overwhelmed.
Which normal monarch would be so free and easy?
Then, Li Ke suddenly remembered that he wanted Varian to become the first generalissimo.
Oh, Varian is not a normal subjugated monarch, so that’s okay.
"Because I know a lot of dirty things about them, but I can't kill them. Obviously I am the maker of laws and policies, but I can't chop off their heads because they have soldiers and money...
"
Varian sighed deeply. His mood was really complicated right now, but he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that those who had opposed him in the past were all dead.
"These people obviously hold power and have the glory of their fathers, but they don't think about how to benefit the people of Stormwind City. Instead, they continue to work hard to expand their own interests and their own property. To be honest, if it weren't for the Noble Council,
Because of the obstruction, it is not your turn to chop off the heads of these people. They have already been on the gallows. If you ask me, the gallows is an advantage for them! You should not sentence them to beheading at all."
When he said this, Varian gritted his teeth. When he thought that all the things he had done for the people had become channels for providing benefits to these insects, he wanted to kill these inherently evil guys with his own hands.
It's a pity that without external force and sufficient intelligence, he could only let MI7 deal with some nobles who were not so disruptive to the overall situation, but could not overthrow them all in one fell swoop.
Because without these nobles, he would have no one to govern the country.
This is what happens once the people who govern the country form interest groups. This is something that cannot be avoided by any political group.
"There is nothing we can do about it. People who hold power always have to face the fate of being abandoned by their comrades. After all, everyone wants to live a better life, and when the rules and laws are not perfect,
Some things will seem to be correct and allowed, but when problems really arise... it will become a crime, but the person who commits the crime will not feel that there is anything wrong with it.
People who commit crimes don’t think it’s a heinous thing, but they regret why they didn’t commit the crime in the first place.”
Li Ke looked at Varian and handed the Coke in his hand to him. As the formula and industrial capabilities continued to upgrade, the taste of the Coke in Li Ke's hand became closer and closer to the taste of the Coke in his memory.
It's just that people in Azeroth prefer to put a lot of alcohol and coffee beans in Coke to increase the refreshing effect of Coke.
And those with strong physiques can even drink concentrated alcohol. As a result, some soldiers' drinks and cola are special attacks, because what they drink may cause serious harm to even ordinary people in Azeroth.
shoot.
Especially those warriors who call themselves the Emperor's Golden Guard and specialize in training the gods to descend to the earth. Their physiques are constantly enhanced due to the continuous training of the gods to descend to the earth, as well as various strengthening potions and energy enhancements, which allow them to withstand ordinary
Food that is dozens of times more stimulating than humans...
And the alcoholic beverages they drink can even be directly ignited and used as Molotov cocktails.
Li Ke drank it once and it tasted really good, but it was not suitable for children and ordinary people, and he preferred the original Coke.
But unfortunately, although this kind of cola is the most sold, most people prefer cola with a bit more excitement.
But judging from Varian's appearance, he also likes Coke. However, based on the other party's alcoholic status, Li Ke thinks that he will prefer Coke with alcohol.
However, Li Ke also gave his own additional comments on the previous answer.
"So, any rights organization involved in interests will eventually become like this. Unless it has an enemy that is almost impossible to defeat and can only survive, otherwise, the corruption of this rights organization is irreversible."
Li Ke knows this very well. In fact, he also knows very well that his empire is actually quite crooked. The actual situation is that under his protection, various races huddle together for warmth, or are forced to huddle together for warmth, trying to find the benefits of coexistence.
It's just a road.
Now that there has been an exchange of interests, Li Ke knows very well what it will be like in the future.
And Azshara's experience is completely useless.
Both of her empires tend to be semi-slave societies built under magical power, but because of their high productivity, they don't look like slave societies.
But it's actually pretty much the same.
The subsequent Naga Empire perfectly demonstrated how poor her governance ability was.
The corruption of his empire was also inevitable.
"Including your empire?"
Varian looked at Li Ke deeply.
"Including me, unless people completely lose all desires... To a certain extent, Alsace's idea is actually right, but it is a pity that he is not a very good person."
Li Ke casually said something that must not be known to the people of the empire, while Varian fell into silence.
Alsace is a person who is unwilling to be left alone. His propaganda is still a little bit, and MI7 is not really a living person.
"But if mortals lose all their desires, they are no longer mortals. The collapse of my empire is inevitable, so I have only one hope for this empire, and that is that during the existence of this empire, all races can taste
The benefits of coming together.”
Li Ke drank the Coke in his cup, but immediately, the cup with endless water supply was quickly filled with cold Coke. Li Ke snapped his fingers, and it was even filled with ice cubes.
He eats without restraint at all now, because he can remove excess fat and abnormal cells from his body at any time, so he plans to spend most of his time in the future as long as it is not in formal occasions.
I grew delicious food and flirted with all kinds of cute girls.
However, his words were a bit difficult for Varian to accept. For this man who was full of glory, Li Ke's behavior of saying that the empire he had established was destroyed, which he couldn't stand...
"...Your idea is a bit hard to accept. And it feels really bad to work hard for something that is bound to be destroyed."
He wanted to refute Li Ke, but found that he could not find any reason to refute Li Ke. Because of his knowledge and experience in governing, he found that everything Li Ke said was damn right!
"That's just the fact."
Li Ke couldn't help but think of the history of his own world and the history of the Celestial Dynasty.
Unification is a matter of course for modern people, but after seeing Azeroth and fully understanding the history of Azeroth, Li Ke knew he wanted to be the First Emperor a long time ago:
The Celestial Empire had to be unified due to geographical factors. Otherwise, the security of the country would be difficult to guarantee, so the establishment of a unified country was promoted.
But in fact, great unification is not eternal. In fact, no one in the Qin Dynasty is used to great unification, but has only tasted some of the dividends of great unification.
Therefore, there were actually too many divisions in the Celestial Empire.
The Southern and Northern Dynasties, the late Jin Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song and Yuan Dynasties were all situations that were not unified in reality.
Especially the Song Dynasty.
Because the legitimacy of the Liao Kingdom is higher than his.
Even for the First Emperor, his world was unstable.
In fact, after becoming the emperor, he could see more and more clearly how weak and fragile the Qin Dynasty was, which could not catch the emperor's assassins, and how weak the power at the grassroots level was.
Because this is equivalent to the president of America being shot and killed, and then no one in the United States can find someone to do it.
But the Qin Dynasty is the most critical, because——
"Because if they don't let them taste the benefits of joining forces, the world will not stop. I am the one who wants to do this...Varian, this is why I need you."
Li Ke looked at Varian.
"I will give you the best treatment, and then you go and show it to the other human kings... You understand what I mean. Then there is peace, so that all races do not have to worry about each other's disputes and resource competition, and the time for peaceful development, so
In this process, I don’t want too many human beings as the cornerstone to die. I need both bad humans and kind humans. That’s why I need you. I need you to tell other people that I really don’t care about anyone.
It can be accepted as long as he is willing to admit that he is a person who yearns for peace."
Varian nodded. This is why Li Ke needs him. Li Ke needs a reason that can make the kings of other human countries join in without any grudges.
And he is this reason, a reason that allows Li Ke to control the human world more smoothly.
Li Ke will be the new Emperor Thoradin and surpass him.
"These are the things you should be doing."
"I can't, I have to be a just person, and humanity has to have a representative."
Varian was even more confused. He always felt that Li Ke valued him too much, and wasn't this what Li Ke said before?
"And aren't you just supporting small groups? Supporting interest groups one after another?"
"Then if I don't support them, will they actually not exist?"
Li Ke showed a smile.
"One generation only needs to do what one generation does, Varian. Maybe Anduin's children can also become the leaders of this empire. So you have to work harder so that your grandson can take back the empire you lost."
Take it back. Besides, if you want to run for mayor of Stormwind City or something like that, I have no problem with it."
As for Varian, Li Ke didn't mind telling him his plans. After all, he was trustworthy, but Varian's eyes widened instantly and he looked at Li Ke in disbelief.
"how about you?"
"I?"
A portal appeared behind Li Ke. This portal showed a large number of beautiful women, tables full of delicious food, as well as carpets and sofas with obvious high elf style. Then he fell down and spoke to Varian.
.
"Of course you are enjoying life. Oh, by the way, your wife's resurrection will have to wait until Fandral's son is resurrected. After all, separation is not a good idea. It will be more mentally stimulating for my Archdruid."
Varian watched blankly as Li Ke fell onto the carpet made of velvet and various beautiful girls. He stretched out his hand to stop the other party, but the suddenly closed portal told him one thing.
He's on a pirate ship!
And Li Ke didn’t even bring him with him to the banquet!
However, Li Ke doesn't care what he thinks. After decentralizing most of his power and de facto uniting the world, he can really start playing music and dancing!
Let’s rest for two days first!
————The dividing line that Li Ke begins to enjoy————
"You can enjoy it from now on..."
An old farmer smiled and looked at the workers building a new house at the end of the village, and spoke to his grandson.
"From now on, we only need to pay 30% of the tax, and we no longer have to worry about getting sick."
His grandson was greedily sucking Coca-Cola in his arms. These sweet drinks were full of attraction for him. While he looked at his smiling grandfather, he did not forget to hand over his Coca-Cola bottle.
Arriving in front of his grandfather.
"Grandpa, sweet!"
His grandfather smiled and bit the straw, pretending to drink, and then spoke to his grandson with a smile.
"Sweet, sweet."
He took a complicated look at the Coke bottle. Whether it was the exquisite glass bottle or the sweet drink, they were things they couldn't eat before.
The most sweet things they eat are the roots of some plants and the wild honey that cannot be taken away.
Of course, there are also pumpkins. Pumpkins are a perfect crop that they only enjoy during the holidays. They can not only provide a large amount of food, but also provide precious sweetness.
He looked at the notice at the entrance of the village and the news that Varian had become the marshal of the empire, and the last trace of anxiety in his heart disappeared.
"Your Majesty Varian is fine too. It's really great."
He doesn't think Varian is an irresponsible king, it's just that-
It's just that Li Ke is better.
And if Varian can survive safely and cooperate with Li Ke, that would be great.
"Our life will definitely be happier, right? After all..."
The old man looked at the four big words on the notice, and his eyes flashed with his son who was taken away by the orc war, his daughter-in-law and his daughter's family who died in the Defias Rebellion in Stormwind City, and he stroked his child's head.
He doesn't know any grand narratives, he doesn't know any great goals and expeditions, let alone any eternal end, or any true free will.
He only knew that Li Ke, who had given them hope, and Varian, who had always given them hope, had truly united and given them the most precious thing.
It is also the only thing they, the common people, long for——
