Chapter 4831 [The Lower Ones Overthrow the Higher Ones]

The space carrier was destroyed, the Trade Federation Governor Newt Gunray was captured, and the dark Sith warrior Darth Maul was executed. The Naboo counterattack was a complete victory.

But Xiang Nan had no time to celebrate with everyone. After the victory, he immediately used the Xuan Ring to open a portal and teleported himself back to the planet Coruscant.

Although Coruscant is tens of thousands of light years away from Naboo, the dimensional gate can still be opened easily. Because the power of magic is really amazing, not to mention just opening an interstellar portal, it can even travel to another dimension.

When they arrived at the planet Coruscant, it was the eve of the parliament's vote to elect the Speaker.

Palpatine already has the outcome of this Speaker election under control.

Because one of the two congressmen who ran with him was Anli Tim from the planet Marasdale.

He is a well-known corrupt congressman, and the reason he was nominated is because of the support of his gang of cronies. But other honest and upright congressmen will not vote for him.

Moreover, Palpatine and his master Darth Plagueis have used the media to expose a major scandal involving Anri Tim's corruption, which has caused his reputation to plummet.

One is Bell Andres from Alderaan. His planet Alderaan was also destroyed by the Death Star in "Star Wars: A New Hope".

Bell Andres was honest and incorruptible, and had a good reputation in the parliament, but he was an ardent reformer who was determined to promote reforms in the parliament, and therefore was not accepted by the conservatives.

Therefore, on the whole, Palpatine, who has always been tactful, popular, and able to get along with everyone, has a high chance of winning.

Therefore, he and his master Darth Plagueis decided to celebrate in advance.

They watched the opera together, and after returning to their residence, they drank to celebrate. In order not to reveal their secret, they also dismissed the servants and guards.

Palpatine also continued to promote Darth Plagueis, praising him for his wisdom and strategic planning, which enabled him to ascend to the position of Speaker.

He will return the favor and after being promoted to Speaker, he will promote Darth Plagueis to co-Speaker and share power together.

Darth Plagueis was so pleased with Palpatine's words that he relaxed his guard, drank too much alcohol, and fell asleep.

……

After he fell asleep, Xiang Nan quietly entered his room, took out a piece of the Monkey God's finger and placed it on him, then took away all his Sith knowledge.

Although Xiang Nan didn't want to become a Jedi apprentice, it didn't mean that he was not interested in the Force. He just didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.

The Force is the most mysterious power in the Star Wars world, and has many applications, such as telekinesis, telepathy, Force shield, future foresight, Force lightning, and so on.

The Sith Lord Tagris was so powerful that he could even rub a tiny black hole with his hands.

Darth Plagueis was Palpatine's master, and his attainments in the dark force were even better than his apprentice Palpatine.

For example, Darth Plagueis could create life with the Force, and even Anakin Skywalker was his creation. Palpatine could not do this.

No matter how powerful he was, he was still a human being, not a god, so it was effortless for Xiang Nan to steal his knowledge and skills.

Now, after absorbing his Sith knowledge, Xiang Nan immediately became a learned Sith warrior, and then he quietly left the room.

Not long after he left, Palpatine came to the room and, while the teacher was sleeping, released Force lightning, electrocuting the teacher into a pile of charcoal.

It turns out that all the Sith warriors have turned to the dark side of the Force, so each of them has a dark mentality and is extremely eager for power, wealth and status.

As the saying goes, "You can't allow others to sleep beside you." Therefore, internal strife among the Sith is common, and there is a tradition of "the lower class overthrowing the upper class." Even later, Darth Bane proposed the "Rule of Two", which means that the Sith can only have one master and one apprentice at any time to avoid internal strife.

But due to the cruelty of the power struggle, the Sith still cannot avoid internal strife.

……

After Xiang Nan left, he opened the portal again and returned to the planet Naboo.

Subsequently, a new peace agreement was signed, and Naboo received a huge compensation from the Trade Federation, while Newt Gunray was handed over to the Galactic Republic's Fa Court to be sanctioned by the Fa law.

Upon receiving the news of Queen Padmé Amidala's victory, Sheev Palpatine, the newly elected Speaker of the Republic Senate, immediately boarded a spaceship and arrived on the planet Naboo.

Shmi Skywalker and C3PO also came with the ship. After her son disappeared, she was very worried for a while. Later, she found out that her son had sneaked on the ship and participated in the Naboo counterattack.

"Oh, Annie, you scared me to death. Are you okay?" After seeing her son, Schmi hugged him and kissed him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I even became a war hero."

"But you are still too young to become a combat hero," said Schmidt, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"But someone has to fight." Xiang Nan said.

"Well said, young Skywalker." Chancellor Palpatine smiled, "Your skills and courage are impressive."

"Thank you." Xiang Nan bowed.

Chancellor Palpatine then came before Queen Padmé Amidala.

"Congratulations on your election as the new Speaker of the Galactic Republic Senate." Padmé said with a smile.

"I want to thank you, Your Majesty, for saving the people." Palpatine also smiled, "Let us work together to bring peace and prosperity to the Republic."

Padmé nodded.

……

Then, at the instruction of Queen Padmé Amidala, a grand celebration ceremony was held in the capital, Theed.

As the hero who destroyed the space carrier, Xiang Nan, together with Gungan leader Nass, Jar Jar Binks and others, accepted the commendation from Queen Padmé Amidala.

On this day, the streets of Theed were deserted and bustling with people.

People gathered in the square in front of the palace, waving colorful flags to welcome the heroes. There were also many children sitting on the balcony, throwing flower petals.

Amid the loud music, Chief Nass, Jar Jar Binks, and Xiang Nan all rode giant Fareem beasts into the city.

This is a kind of animal that looks like a cross between a hippopotamus and a dinosaur. It has great camel strength but a gentle temperament.

Led by the Gungan honor guard, they arrived in front of the palace, then dismounted the Falerms and walked to Queen Amidala.

"Thank you very much for your performance in the Naboo counterattack. You will always be our hero." Padmé smiled at Xiang Nan, hung the highest Naboo medal on Naboo around his neck, and gently kissed his forehead.

"Woohoo~" The Naboo people cheered excitedly.
