The ministers began to discuss the topic raised by the emperor.

Without the interruptions from Ou Yang and Ouyang Xiu, the conversation wasn't as noisy and bustling as it would be in a market.

We discussed it for a while.

Imperial Minister of Public Security Gong Yao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that a Level 6 civilization should no longer continue to exist in its current state."

Yang Yu did not answer, but stared at the Imperial Minister of Security, Gong Yao, waiting for her to continue.

"The Empire belongs to the advanced civilization sequence of the universe, but the Empire has been either at war or preparing for war all along."

"I believe that the Empire should consider moving towards pacifism."

"In a sense, in our empire's conception, a Level 6 civilization belongs to the sequence of god-level civilizations. It should create various physical and chemical theories, various laws of nature, and stay away from war."

"Simply because we are already in an invincible state."

"To destroy someone, all you need to do is change the laws of nature, change physical and chemical theories, and destroy the enemy in a fundamental sense."

"A Level 6 civilization is a truly unified civilization, just like the empire unified the origin planet back then. There is no war; war will be nipped in the bud."

Minister of Public Security Gong Yao looked solemnly at His Majesty the Emperor and said seriously, "Therefore, this is one of the main reasons why I impeached Minister of Education Ouyang Xiu."

"Da da da".

Instantly, the Imperial Study fell into a deathly silence.

Only the sound of knuckles tapping on the table rang out, crisp and powerful.

None of the ministers offered any opinions.

"What do you think, my dear minister?"

The next moment, Yang Yu's gaze fell on Bai Qi, the Grand Councilor who remained silent beside him.

Today, Bai Qi also came to the Imperial Study.

After all, Bai Qi was a high-ranking military official and the empire's highest executive officer.

“Your Majesty, I agree with the Minister of Peace’s opinion and views. Our Star Fortress also does not want war, but war is not something that our Star Fortress can decide.”

"The existence of Star Fortress is to protect the safety of the Empire and safeguard its security."

Grand Councilor Bai Qi said, "Star Fortress is the sword in His Majesty's hand. Wherever His Majesty's sword points, Star Fortress's sword will follow."

"My esteemed ministers?"

Seeing Bai Qi's attitude, Yang Yu then looked at Justice Minister Ye Li, Foreign Minister Xu Wen, and Prime Minister Long Zhi.

"We agree with the Minister of Public Security's opinion and will follow Your Majesty's decree in all matters."

None of the ministers had any objections.

A Level 6 civilization no longer needs to use barbaric means to acquire resources.

Advanced civilizations should possess the elegance that comes with them.

"Should we still build that star fortress in the Milky Way?"

Just then.

A voice came from outside the Imperial Study.

Finance Minister Ou Yang hurriedly entered from outside the Imperial Study, his hopeful gaze fixed on His Majesty the Emperor, and he did not forget to apologize, "Your subject Ou Yang is late, please punish me, Your Majesty."

"???"

Upon seeing Ou Yang arrive, Yang Yu looked at him in surprise.

Aren't you talking to someone about something?

Why did you come here?

Upon seeing the Emperor's gaze, Ou Yang smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I have finished dealing with my business and came to the Imperial Study immediately. I am late, please punish me."

"Innocent."

Yang Yu shook his head slightly.

Since we're serving the empire, it's alright if we're late.

"Your Majesty, shall we still build the Star Fortress in the Milky Way?"

Ou Yang asked tentatively.

If construction is cancelled, the Ministry of Finance can reduce a large amount of losses.

"Build it, why not build it?"

In response, Grand Councilor Bai Qi looked at Finance Minister Ou Yang with suspicion and asked, "Are you delusional?"

Why cancel the construction of Star Fortress for no apparent reason?

Just because of the classification of Level 6 civilizations, you want to cancel the construction of Star Fortress?

Are you kidding me?

"Didn't we just say that a Level 6 civilization values ​​harmony and no longer acquires resources through barbaric means?"

Ou Yang looked at Grand Councilor Bai Qi with a puzzled expression, his aura suddenly rising.

After all, those are countless resources, impossible to describe in numbers, and it would hurt to spend them.

Although it wasn't his own money, it was the empire's money.

Since I am in this position, I should naturally save money for the empire whenever possible.

Haven't you heard this saying before?

If you're not in a position, you shouldn't concern yourself with its affairs; but if you are in a position, should you concern yourself with its affairs?

"Not acquiring resources or waging war in a barbaric way does not mean that the already established Star Fortress No. 2 will not be built."

"Level 6 civilizations do not need to acquire resources in a barbaric way, but it is necessary to ensure their own dominance and security."

"When two Level 6 civilizations meet, do you think war will break out?"

"Perhaps not, but if a majority of level six civilizations emerge, can you guarantee that war won't break out?"

In response, Minister of Public Security Gong Yao spoke bluntly.

Chapter 491 [The Rise of the Dragon in Zhennan]

Instantly.

The Prime Minister, the Justice Minister, and the Finance Minister all fell silent.

The fact that a Level 6 civilization has no war does not mean that a Level 6 civilization will not experience war.

The security of an empire is always protected by its national defense forces.

The likelihood of high-level civilizations breaking out into war is not very high, but the necessary military forces are indispensable.

If Ouyang Xiu were here, she would definitely start shouting again.

"Since none of you ministers have any objections, then you may use this time to draft the order and laws that a Level 6 civilization should have."

Yang Yu looked at the ministers before him and said, "In addition, we should take Ouyang Xiu's opinion into consideration."

"Your Majesty, considering Ouyang Xiu's suggestion, will the enactment of a Level 6 civilization's order laws have a significant impact?"

Minister of Public Security Gong Yao looked at His Majesty the Emperor and tentatively asked.

If it really is Ouyang Xiu, then he truly is a warmonger.

Why do you believe that Ouyang Xiu's opinion will affect the order and laws of a Level 6 civilization?

Yang Yu asked.

"It's really Ouyang Xiu's idea, it's very easy..."

"Alright, all of you, step down! Produce me a corresponding plan as soon as possible, and once the plan is approved, release it to the Empire immediately."

"promise."

After all the ministers left the Imperial Study, Yang Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Your Majesty, the reason they did this is because Ouyang Xiu gives the impression of being a warmonger, with an extreme love for war."

Lin Zijin said.

"An extreme love of war? Do you know why I transferred him from the position of Minister of Security back to the position of Minister of Education of the Empire?"

"Gong Yao is not suitable for the position of Minister of Education."

Yang Yu chuckled and said, "Gong Yao has been the Minister of Education of the Empire for 300,000 years. The education policies she implemented were basically conservative. Now, we need the radical Ouyang Xiu to balance them."

Upon hearing His Majesty the Emperor's words, Secretary-General Lin Zijin fell silent.

"Take your time to think about it."

Yang Yu stood up from his seat, glanced at the silent Secretary-General Lin Zijin beside him, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the Imperial Study.

He should go out for a walk.

Staying in this imperial palace is like being in a birdcage.

……

Angel Nebula.

Melo Star.

Yang Yu set foot on this place he had once dreamed of conquering.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions as he looked at the dilapidated, dust-covered palace.

He strode toward the once glorious temple.

Entering the dilapidated temple, gazing at the throne that once reigned supreme over all the heavens, Yang Yu fell silent.

That place represents the most magnificent god of an era.

Yang Yu sat down on the last row of benches, quietly gazing at the dust-covered, cobweb-covered throne, without saying a word.

Looking back on the empire's journey, it felt like a dream.
