"Ok!"

Jiang Lihua smiled and placed her small hand on Mo Mo's large hand, their palms overlapping. She said, "Then it's settled! You can't disobey Father's orders, otherwise... I'll have Father spank you!"

"Oh, how terrifying! I promise I won't disobey orders. No, this isn't an order; it's a promise between the two of us."

"An agreement? Yes, an agreement! You can't break the agreement!"

Seeing this, the old emperor on the bed smiled with relief. A long breath came out of his mouth and nose. He, who could have been sitting, now seemed to have no strength left and leaned completely against the bed, his body seemingly even more hunched over.

Already weakened, his confrontation with Mo Mo had been draining his energy. Now that he had finally achieved his small goal, he could relax a little.

"well."

The emperor said "good" twice, then beckoned to Jiang Lihua and said, "Lihua, come here first. Your father wants to say a few words to Mr. Qilin."

Jiang Lihua obediently ran to the Emperor's side and said, "Father, should I leave first?"

The old emperor shook his head slightly and said, "Now you have a teacher too. You may not understand the conversation between your father and your teacher, but you must start to listen and remember it. Remember, you will become the emperor in the future, and the whole world will be under your management."

"You must study, be talented, and understand things, understand?"

Although Jiang Lihua still didn't understand, she instinctively felt the pressure. Obediently, Jiang Lihua nodded, but pursed her lips.

Seeing this, the old emperor pinched Jiang Lihua's nose and said, "Alright, don't forget, you're not alone. You have your teacher and your friends, and they will definitely help you, won't they?"

Upon hearing this, the slight pressure on Jiang Lihua's face immediately disappeared. She turned to look at Mo Mo and Karen and saw the smile on Mo Mo's lips.

"Ok!"

The old emperor patted Jiang Lihua's head, then turned to Mo Mo and said, "Alright, Mr. Qilin. I think we can have a proper talk now. Tell me what you want to do, how you want to deal with everything that's coming next, and what your specific plans are."

"I can promise you anything. But since Lihua is here, and your girlfriend is here too, let's all be clear and straightforward, stop beating around the bush, okay?"

Mo Mo glanced at the hint of mockery in the old emperor's eyes and sighed inwardly.

Does this old emperor really think that Mo Mo, such an upright, noble, kind-hearted, universally loved, and charming young man from the Milky Way, is a lolicon?

Using two little girls to coerce Mo Mo into not lying—this little trick…is incredibly effective!

"Since that's the case, then I'll speak frankly."

……

The Great Eunuch's Coup!

Such big news could not possibly be kept from anyone. Although the Emperor controlled the Forbidden City and the military forces of the capital region, the court was originally the mouthpiece of various local warlords. Nine and a half out of ten nobles in Luoyang were related to local warlords. In addition, with the video footage that Mo Mo directly broadcast online, the news spread instantly throughout the Chinese Federation.

It could even be said that it spread throughout the entire world!

The Chinese Federation is one of the three poles of the world today. The world's three superpowers stand in a tripartite balance. Any incident in any of these superpowers could further affect the global situation. What's more, the Chinese Federation is experiencing a coup, a massive event that could cause the collapse of a country.

In an instant, all the powers in the world turned their attention to the Chinese Federation and the Chinese Empire, a terrifying nation that had lasted for 1,800 years and was once the strongest in the world for over a thousand years.

Everyone knows that the Chinese Empire is in decline and may collapse at any time. But everyone also hopes that the Chinese Federation can hold on, so that at least a global war will not break out.

However, the Chinese Federation is destined to disappoint everyone's expectations. Of the eight powerful eunuchs who control the Central Plains, seven have betrayed the government, and even the emperor has been captured. What fate awaits the Chinese Federation next?

Countless experts and scholars have predicted, and even swore, that the Chinese Empire will inevitably disintegrate, followed by the disappearance of imperial power and the fall into regional separatism, and then all the states will break away from the Chinese Federation, at which point the world's three poles will become two poles.

The original three-way balance of power has turned into a struggle between Britannia and the EU, and the balance is too unstable, it may tip to one side at any time.

A massive war that will affect the entire world is about to begin!

069 The Prodigy

Unfortunately, compared to the speculations of experts and scholars around the world outside the Chinese Federation, the Chinese Federation itself is unusually quiet, as if the coup d'état did not occur in the Chinese Federation.

It even gives the impression that no one knows about the tragedy that occurred in the Forbidden City; everyone is busy with their own affairs, and no one cares about the details that happened inside the Forbidden City.

This made the experts and scholars who had been clamoring for war feel like they had run into a tree stump, while people all over the world sat on the tree stump, watching these people who were spouting nonsense make fools of themselves.

This made even those who were clamoring for war begin to have doubts. Could it be that their guess was wrong, and that although the various regions of the Chinese Federation were divided among powerful families, everyone was essentially loyal to the Emperor of the Chinese Federation?

Are the people of the Chinese Federation really more loyal and reliable than people from other countries in the world?

They didn't want to believe it, but it seemed to be true.

Unfortunately, their guess was wrong. There's only one truth: everyone was just waiting for the next development, waiting for the first person to step forward.

After all, although imperial power was weak, the power in the hands of the emperor was not so weak that he was powerless to resist.

First, there are the 30,000 Imperial Guards of the Capital Military Region. Although the number is not large, as the emperor's direct troops, their weapons, equipment, personnel quality, and logistical support are all excellent.

The only drawback was that the high-ranking eunuchs who directly led the troops all died, causing temporary chaos in the troop organization.

Secondly, the navy of the Chinese Federation is entirely under the Emperor's command. After all, the navy is responsible for protecting the interests of the entire coastal region of the Chinese Federation, and given the enormous investment required for it, it is simply not something that aristocratic families are willing to fund.

Therefore, the navy of the Chinese Federation has always been led by the royal family, with coastal families also contributing funds to supply the entire navy.

Therefore, the Royal Navy of the Chinese Federation can generally guarantee that it will obey the Emperor's orders, or at worst, remain inactive.

As for the Chinese Federation's air force, fortunately, due to cost considerations, the capital military region under the Emperor's control also accounts for nearly half of the Chinese Federation's air force strength. However, unlike the worlds Momo had experienced before, the air force in this world is quite limited.

The air force in the world of Code Geass has never been highly valued because all the equipment in this world, except for the Knightmare, which was innovated by Britannia, uses electric motors.

While electric motors outperform internal combustion engines in absolute terms, their biggest problem lies in the source of electricity. The world of Code Geass clearly hasn't solved the problem of electricity storage effectively, resulting in electric motors in that world being limited by battery supply and thus having limited performance.

Even the early Knightmare, despite its widespread adoption in Britannia—the fourth-generation Knightmare Glasgow used to attack Japan in the early stages, and the fifth-generation Knightmare Sunderland widely deployed when the story truly began—still relied on batteries as their core power source.

Insufficient battery capacity resulted in weak armor for Knightmare and tanks, and the aircraft in Code Geass were small and lightweight, far from possessing the powerful performance of aircraft and tanks from the world of Momo.

All of this was not until the appearance of Lancelot in the seventh generation of Knightmare that all the mobile devices in the rebellious Code Geass world, which were constrained by batteries and electric motors, saw an opportunity to break free from the huge limiting factor of batteries.

Lancelot's machine uses a rotating core as its energy source, with output power and usage time far exceeding those of batteries used in conventional Knightmare. In other words, Lancelot's energy source is a small fuel cell, a small power plant, which generates a huge amount of energy to power Lancelot's actions by burning the energy core refined from fluid cherry stone.

With powerful energy as its foundation, Lancelot and all subsequent seventh-generation Knightmare truly gained the terrifying ability to crush all conventional weapons. Taking on a thousand enemies single-handedly and stripping them naked was no longer a dream.

However, with the seventh generation Knightmare, the limitation on the overall performance of the Knightmare became the pilot's physical capabilities. Because the technology of the world of Code Geass currently lacks the technology to enhance the human body, the maximum acceleration the human body can withstand is only around 45G. Therefore, each seventh-generation Knightmare actually requires a dedicated pilot for specialized tuning and adjustments.

At the same time, the high cost of the seventh generation Knightmare meant that even Britannia could only equip it with the ace Knights of the Round Table and a small number of other personnel. At this stage, the development of Knightmare fell into another bottleneck.

With such power in the hands of the emperor, it was absolutely impossible for a single warlord or a single aristocratic family to deal with it. Even if two or three aristocratic families joined forces, they would not be able to take down Luoyang, this iron-willed city, unless they were determined to succeed or die trying.

Unless several powerful warlords join forces and besiege Luoyang from all directions, scattering Luoyang's military forces, there is no chance of taking Luoyang without losing a large number of their own troops.

Unfortunately, this premise itself is difficult to achieve. The soldiers raised by various powerful families and warlords are their own treasures. To get them to fight against the emperor would require a tempting or even insane profit.

However, such benefits are not yet visible, especially given the lack of clear information in Luoyang.

Everyone is waiting for news and further developments.

However, what happened next left everyone stunned.

The once arrogant and treacherous eunuchs, who had already issued a proclamation to arrest the emperor and even planned to declare themselves kings and emperors, were suddenly all brought to justice!

Everyone originally thought that things were about to change, that the old emperor was going to make a move, and that the fate of the Chiang family's imperial line was about to end.

Although the warlord families in various regions remained as calm and collected as handsome men, their hearts were itching with anticipation. They couldn't wait to learn the specific details so they could see if they could get a share of the spoils amidst the great changes in the Chinese Federation.

However, this powerful wave crashing against the shore came quickly, its immense force nearly giving those on the shore a heart attack, but it also vanished just as quickly, disappearing without a trace once its force was exhausted, leaving only a calm and peaceful expanse.

Is that all?

It really ended just like that!

Soon, all sorts of news came in, and people finally figured out the truth of the matter.

The coup is truly over.

The seven powerful eunuchs, having joined forces to launch a coup within the Forbidden City, should have been a sure thing, but they were ambushed by the Imperial Guards who reacted swiftly. It turned out the Imperial Guards had been prepared all along, just waiting for the seven eunuchs to take the bait.

Could it be that the Emperor discovered and realized the conspiracy of the seven powerful eunuchs?

No.

First, a mysterious figure discovered that the seven powerful eunuchs were plotting something treacherous. Then, he contacted Gao Hai, a young powerful eunuch who was serving as the consul general at the Japanese consulate and was loyal to the old emperor. He wanted Gao Hai to go to the Forbidden City to take charge of the overall situation.

Gao Hai knew that the forces were vastly different, but because of his loyalty to the emperor, he ignored the danger and still embarked on the road back to the Forbidden City.

How could the seven powerful eunuchs, who were planning a coup, allow Gao Hai, a troublemaker, to appear? The two sides clashed several times after Gao Hai arrived. Gao Hai, the powerful eunuch who rushed back to stop the coup, was ruthlessly suppressed and imprisoned in the imperial prison.

Gao Hai's return may seem pointless, but now everyone knows that his return, and even his capture and imprisonment by the seven powerful eunuchs, were all part of someone's plan.

The greatest effect of Gao Hai's return was to throw the seven powerful eunuchs into a panic, making them realize that their plans had been exposed. In their confusion, they had no choice but to immediately begin their coup plot, despite their inadequate preparations.

After the seven powerful eunuchs began their plan, through the efforts of a certain individual, the Imperial Guards also came to believe in the eunuchs' conspiracy and launched a full-scale attack as soon as the incident occurred.

Not only that, Gao Hai, who had been imprisoned in the imperial prison, was released by a loyal subordinate official named Li Xingke, and Gao Hai even led his troops to fight directly against the other seven powerful eunuchs.

All of this was mentioned in the daily royal news broadcast from the Forbidden City.

"As a powerful eunuch who was powerless to even kill a chicken, Gao Hai even took up a sword and led the charge, killing four other powerful eunuchs amidst a hail of bullets, ending their lives with the loyal sword of Gao Hai."

"All the Imperial Guards braved the dangers of swords and spears, and fought valiantly to protect His Majesty the Emperor. They finally killed all the rebels and thwarted their plot."

"As of the time of this report, all officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard have sworn to resolutely uphold His Majesty the Emperor's sacred status and protect the long-term stability of the Chinese Empire. At the same time, all high-ranking officials in the Forbidden City also support His Majesty the Emperor's rule and unanimously stated that they are in stable condition."

The above statement was read by the host of the royal news broadcast of the Forbidden City on that day. There were many similar statements. These novel and subtly out-of-place propaganda statements left everyone who followed the Forbidden City feeling bewildered.

I really don't know who wrote this novel manuscript.

It is clearly the Forbidden City that has experienced a major upheaval, with seven powerful eunuchs rebelling. Why does it sound as if the powerful eunuch Gao Hai led all the Imperial Guards to complete a difficult task and achieve great success?

Even though I felt the host's lines were correct, as an observer, it felt like everything was wrong.

That's so strange!

However, this does not prevent people from recognizing that Gao Hai, as the only loyal chief eunuch, risked his life to save the emperor, which can be described as an unparalleled achievement.

Meanwhile, besides Gao Hai, another person also came into everyone's view.

A mysterious young man known as Qilin.
