Second update

070 Luoyang Molang

The name, which had never been heard of before, spread from Luoyang to the entire Chinese Empire in an instant. Everyone knew that a young man named Qilin had emerged in the Chinese Empire.

This young man named Qilin knew about the seven powerful eunuchs' plot to rebel from the very beginning. Despite being a commoner without any official position, he began to think about how to thwart the seven powerful eunuchs' conspiracy because of his deep loyalty to the emperor.

He thought it through, he acted on it, and he succeeded.

No one knows how Qilin did it, but everyone knows that Qilin, through some unknown power, brought back the first prince of Britannia as a backer and gained the trust of the powerful eunuch Gao Hai.

Then, under his scheme, the Grand Eunuch and Odysseus both took action and became involved in the entire affair.

This led the seven powerful eunuchs to believe their plot had been exposed, and they hastily rose in rebellion, only to fall right into Qilin's trap. Under the combined might of the Imperial Guards and the powerful eunuch Gao Hai, all seven rebellious eunuchs were killed in battle.

From this perspective, the entire series of events can be said to have been orchestrated by this guy named Qilin. It was his plan that turned what could have plunged the entire Chinese Empire into a great crisis—a farcical coup—into a farcical event that was immediately annihilated.

The farcical situation of a eunuch wanting to become the emperor.

In this way, the word "Qilin" naturally came into the view of everyone who cared about Luoyang. However, to everyone's surprise, although everyone seemed to know the word "Qilin," no one knew anything about Qilin's age, past, appearance, or anything else.

Everyone believed that this was Luoyang's way of protecting Qilin. After all, with such a talented young man emerging, the Emperor would probably have already bestowed great rewards upon him and protected him.

As a result, the name of Qilin spread throughout the world. No one knew who Qilin was, but everyone who mentioned Qilin couldn't help but exclaim, "A genius with the name Qilin has emerged from Luoyang!"

The powerful warlords frowned, pondering the origins of this Qilin, while ordinary people admired the talented Qilin from Luoyang from the bottom of their hearts, for his appearance had saved the Chinese Empire and averted a disaster.

Even the most depraved madman probably wouldn't suspect that this prodigy was actually someone who had only been in this world for a few days and was an unregistered person without even a Chinese federal household registration.

Even though that is the truth.

With the rebellion quelled, people's attention shifted from the seven dead eunuchs to the living, focusing on the upcoming developments in Luoyang.

Many people have made contributions, and those who have made contributions will inevitably be rewarded. Everyone wants to see what kind of reward the emperor will give to the chief eunuch Gao Hai, and what kind of reward he will give to that mysterious genius.

After all, with seven of the eight powerful eunuchs dead, a vacuum had been created in Luoyang's military, political, and economic power. Who would fill this vacuum was a matter of great concern for everyone.

Zhu Jincheng didn't keep people waiting long. On the third day, he announced the new appointment. The announcement of this new appointment was nothing short of earth-shattering. Whether it was powerful families and warlords or ordinary people, or even everyone in the world who paid attention to the China-Mutual Federation, they were all stunned.

The first order in the new decree was that Gao Hai was allowed to resign from his position as Grand Eunuch, leave the Forbidden City, and become a free man!

Simply put, Gao Hai could laugh heartily and shout, "JoJo, I'm not going to be a eunuch anymore!"

What is a eunuch?

To put it bluntly, eunuchs were slaves whose spirit and body had been castrated by the emperor, specifically to serve the royal family.

As a slave, you might not even have a good end even if you work hard your whole life. Do you really think you can quit your job and start your own business someday?

This is a complete joke.

However, it seems that the Forbidden City is destined to become a laughing stock recently. First, the eunuchs refused to be eunuchs and wanted to rebel and become emperors.

If the seven powerful eunuchs hadn't actually rebelled, been beheaded in battle, and hadn't had their bodies still hanging outside the city gates, everyone would probably have thought it was just an unfunny April Fool's joke.

Unfortunately, this is not a joke.

People probably wonder why eunuchs today are different from those of the past.

Some radical EU tabloids even portrayed the seven high-ranking officials who rebelled as fighters for democracy and freedom, as pioneers of the Chinese Federal Revolution, directly shaping them into heroes.

Simply put, it highlights one theme: Long live democracy and freedom, the Chinese Federal Empire is ready to make pills.

Tabloids are for sales and don't get much attention. Even dead eunuchs don't get much attention; only living eunuchs get attention.

However, people suddenly discovered that the eunuchs who were alive and should have been the ones they were supposed to pay attention to were no longer eunuchs!

Although Gao Hai was still missing a part of his body compared to a normal man, the emperor himself allowed him to stop being a eunuch, and his status changed from slave to normal person.

Although this news shocked everyone, if that were all, it could probably be seen as the emperor's favor towards Gao Hai, who had made great contributions, and an exception could be made for such a meritorious official.

But the second order immediately made all the powerful warlords jump up, overturn the tables and chairs in front of them, and... (wife's secret technique).

The second order appoints Gao Hai as the Chancellor of the Chinese Empire!

Prime Minister!

Gao Hai was appointed as the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire!

What is a prime minister?

The prime minister is the emperor's steward. If the emperor is too lazy to handle government affairs, then the prime minister is the second emperor, and the prime minister makes all the decisions on government affairs!

Especially in the present Chinese Empire, the emperor's power has been greatly weakened, and he is no longer a true ruler of the empire.

The area truly under the emperor's complete control was only the capital military region. The court was filled with representatives of local warlords, and these representatives formed the cabinet of the current constitutional monarchy of China—the Yaolong Pavilion.

Yaolong Pavilion.

Just by hearing this name, one can tell the attitude of local warlord families towards the emperor.

The emperor is a dragon, an irreplaceable being, a fact they acknowledge. But even if he is a dragon, they will still establish a cabinet to bite down on the emperor like a mad dog. This is enough to show their determination.

The chief official of the Yaolong Pavilion was the prime minister, who was also the collective spokesperson for all warlords and aristocratic families.

Although the position of prime minister is nominally appointed by the emperor, each nomination for prime minister is submitted to the emperor by the cabinet, and the emperor selects one person from the list to serve as prime minister.

Incidentally, the list is publicly claimed to include five people, but for a long time, all five have had the same name.

The conflict between the emperor and the powerful warlords had long been tantamount to separatism, only they were not openly open about it.

This time, the Emperor convened a cabinet meeting without notifying any local forces or informing any cabinet officials of their master, and successfully passed a resolution to appoint Gao Hai as the Prime Minister of the Yaolong Pavilion in the Chinese Empire's cabinet!

What's going on here!

This is outrageous!

Originally, the two sides were relatively balanced. The royal power controlled the capital military region, while the various regions were governed by the cabinet and were the fiefdoms of powerful families and warlords. However, this balance was forcibly broken by the emperor's direct appointment!

Although Gao Hai became a commoner in name only, having risen from humble beginnings through cabinet elections—faster than any emperor could have—to become the Prime Minister of the Chinese Federation, everyone knew that based solely on his previous acts of loyalty and protection, Gao Hai was still one of the Emperor's men.

The old emperor actually broke the balance between the two sides, and forcibly parachuted his people over the heads of all the powerful warlords, intending to control them as a prime minister!

How different is this from a complete falling out?

The enraged warlords immediately called Luoyang to inquire of their representatives what was going on and why they had the audacity to pass the motion to appoint Gao Hai as prime minister behind their masters' backs.

However, they were dumbfounded when they received the results.

During the election of the prime minister, each member of parliament from a powerful family and warlord was accompanied by a member of a new organization called the Embroidered Uniform Guard, who held a brocade spring knife and wore a small cap embroidered with a red five-pointed star.

The members of the Imperial Guard were dutiful and never left the councilors' side, always looking at them with a kind smile.

If the councilors do not intend to click the "agree" button, these newly appeared guards called the Embroidered Uniform Guards will subconsciously draw their swords, wipe them clean, and make them gleam, dazzling the councilors' eyes.

As for the members of parliament who initially refused to click "agree," they all tragically died in the line of duty due to various coincidental accidents, such as car accidents, falling objects from heights, or encounters with insane racists on the way.

So, all the councilors seemed to have a sudden realization. They all smiled and expressed their full support for the emperor's decision, acknowledging that Gao Hai had risen from a commoner to prime minister. As for the opinions of the powerful families and warlords in various regions, they simply ignored them.

Upon learning all this, the powerful warlords were dumbfounded. They looked towards Luoyang and the Forbidden City, finally realizing that the world had indeed changed.

The rebellion of the seven powerful eunuchs was just the beginning.

……

With Gao Hai playing such a significant role, the third appointment—appointing Mo Mo as Princess Jiang Lihua's teacher—didn't attract much attention. All that was left was that everyone finally knew this mysterious genius was named Mo Mo.

Compared to Gao Hai's meteoric rise, Mo Mo seemed to be completely disliked by the emperor. Despite making such great contributions, he was only given the position of Grand Tutor, which was incomparable to Gao Hai's.

In everyone's eyes, Mo Mo should be looking frustrated and unsuccessful right now, right?

However, in the Forbidden City, the situation was quite the opposite. Gao Hai, who had shed his eunuch status and become the prime minister, had a gloomy face, while Mo Mo, who was opposite him, was all smiles.

Third update

071 If you obtain it, you can throw the world into chaos.

"Lord Gao, why do you have such a gloomy face? Haven't we already achieved our goal?"

"At present, Gao Daquan is all-powerful and has become the prime minister of the entire Chinese Empire. His Majesty the Emperor is not in good health and all government affairs have to be handled by you. Such favor has not appeared for many years."

"Come on, Mr. Gao, give me a smile?"

Faced with Mo Mo's playful smile, Gao Hai's expression darkened further. He had taken off his eunuch's robes and put on the prime minister's court attire.

With the heavy makeup removed, Gao Hai's face was revealed, and if you disregard her effeminate features, her appearance was actually quite good.

Could this be the reason why he rose so quickly in his career as a eunuch?

Oh no... It seems I know too much.

However, even if he no longer wanted to be a eunuch, Gao Hai, who originally aspired to be a eunuch for life, to be the most eunuch among eunuchs, and to be the grand eunuch, still couldn't easily change his eunuch habits.

"A miscellaneous expert..."

His words immediately betrayed him, making Gao Hai's face even uglier. He said, "I know, Mo Mo, you have ulterior motives."

“Now that our agreement has been fulfilled, I have reached the pinnacle of power, while you have obtained the Emperor’s permission to represent the royal family in using royal capital and to control the royal family’s finances.”

"On the surface, I seem to have a lot of power, but the entire cabinet is a complete mess, with not a single capable person. Moreover, when I issue orders, no one carries them out. What's the difference between this and being a commander without troops?"

Mo Mo shrugged and said, "Lord Gao, didn't you follow my advice and establish the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Now, the red star above the Embroidered Uniform Guard's head is practically a symbol of your power. When the Embroidered Uniform Guard takes action, which of those powerful and wealthy people doesn't tremble with fear?"

"Moreover, the Grand Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is His Majesty's loyal general, Lord Jiang Zhong, and the Deputy Commander is Li Xingke, whom you personally promoted. As long as you continue to serve the Emperor, the two of them, along with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, will be your strong arms. What are you afraid of?"

"Compared to you, I am all alone now, with no one by my side."

Gao Hai scoffed and said, "You have no one by your side? You alone are enough to throw the world into chaos."

"Besides, don't think I don't know that three more women have appeared around you, each with extraordinary talent. Since they are your women, I won't investigate their backgrounds."

"However, as a former collaborator, Mo Mo, I'm warning you: don't play with fire anymore! The patience of the warlords and powerful families in various regions has probably reached its limit. If you continue to play with fire, when the armies from all over the country besiege your cities, even if His Majesty the Emperor values ​​you highly, you will only face certain death."

"Then I should thank Lord Gao?"

Gao Hai snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I don't care what you're trying to do. Anyway, our deal is now complete, so let's each go our own way. Don't think that just because you have some good stuff or a good mind, you can really influence the world."

"This world must be controlled by power."

As he spoke, Gao Hai raised his head.
