From Terra to Terra, the Star Emperor's Holiday

...

Nian had extremely high authority on the landship, so she successfully drove away all the synths who tried to come forward to help, and took Si Ye back to her room on the landship.

"Why are you in your room?"

Si Ye asked knowingly.

"I knew you were pretending to be drunk,"

There was a barely noticeable blush on Nian's face, and he slapped Si Ye in annoyance.

"Do you need me to explain this clearly? Then I'll be frank. Lord Si Ye has been so kind and generous. I have no way to repay you. I can only offer you my body as a reward~"

Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was because he was mentally prepared, but Nian's tone was a little sweeter than usual.

"Or, facing 1400℃, you, no, can't."

It was like a bad woman whispering in his ear, or like a female ghost provoking him madly. The drunkenness on Si Ye's face evaporated instantly, and he pressed Nian's shoulder.

"Then I would be disrespectful."

The high temperature of molten gold and smelting jade flashed by, and the automatic door of the room was directly welded shut by Si Ye.

"Hey, this is a land-based ship..."

Faced with Si Ye's behavior of directly welding the automatic door shut, Nian's expression finally showed a hint of having gone too far.

"I don't feel bad, why should you feel bad?"

Si Ye closed the distance between them. Nian was unable to respond and the lights went out at the right moment.

...

The next day, the spring scenery is dazzling, the sound is beautiful

Si Ye lay on the bed that collapsed under the weight, thinking about what happened last night.

It is indeed a difficult battle to defeat a giant beast with a human body, and Nian is not an existence like Xi who can rival mortals with the body of a giant beast.

Apart from the initial stiffness and shyness, the gradually familiar Nian tried to seize the initiative all the time. In order to avoid complete defeat, Si Ye had to use a little bit of cheating.

For example, the acceleration of non-linear actions and the idealistic blood recovery of psychic powers.

Having used so many abilities, he naturally achieved a lot of results.

For example, a bed that was damaged due to the fierce battle, and a very hot dragon that chose to escape through the door to avoid being dragged into the battle again after being defeated several times.

Yes, run away.

Where the room should have had a door, and where it had been welded shut yesterday, the entire door had disappeared, leaving only traces of molten metal, indicating the tragic state it had endured.

After stretching his waist which felt a bit burdened, Si Ye put on a new set of clothes.

"It's a new day, time to get down to business."

Chapter 129: Sinner’s Edict

There is a bit of noise in Baizao today.

An urgent court meeting was held, and all the court officials and dignitaries in the city had to rush to Houde Hall early.

In the Houde Hall, the court officials all lowered their heads, feeling tired after being summoned urgently. However, Zhenlong, who had not slept all night and had been dealing with various miscellaneous matters, was in high spirits. The Taifu and Taiwei, who knew a little about the situation, could not help shaking their heads.

"Yesterday's rebellion of the Year Beast has been settled, and the disaster caused by the Year Beast has been eliminated. Bai Zao, our Great Yan will no longer be in danger of being overturned by the Year Beast."

Yesterday's unrivaled red sword energy had already made the city's noble families and officials guess their heads, because the current real dragon is not outstanding in martial arts, so the person who can fight against the Year Beast must be someone else.

However, the officials of the aristocratic families could not find any useful information no matter what, so they could only treat Si Ye as the knife hidden by the True Dragon, and would not use it until a major event like the Sui Beast caused chaos. They kept sighing at the deep thoughts and planning of the True Dragon.

Upon hearing that the Year Beast had been determined, the officials who knew what the Year Beast was were stunned at first, and then their expressions of joy were beyond words.

Anyone who knows the situation knows that if the disaster of the Year Beast really happens, the entire Baizao might be destroyed. No one wants to die if they can survive. Now that the sword is no longer hanging over their heads, it is only right to be happy.

As for why Zhenlong mentioned this matter, it was probably to reward the mysterious master. For such a great achievement, it would not be an exaggeration to directly make him a duke.

The officials in the court looked at each other secretly and felt that they should just wait for the real dragon to speak directly. No one would say anything too much on such matters. After all, if they offended the other party, he really had the ability to kill nine generations of others with one sword.

The Taiwei and Taifu, who knew what big move Zhenlong was going to make, felt their cheeks twitching. The strength and financial resources displayed by Si Ye made them stunned, and the secret held in Zhenlong's hand also made them amazed. Seeing Zhenlong's eyes that said, "If you don't agree to help me, I can only bear the pain and let you die of illness," the Taifu and Taiwei chose to be persuaded.

In fact, the Grand Tutor and the Grand Marshal were not so easily persuaded, but Zhenlong relayed topics like Siye's agents, which made the two old men hear the implication that the other party did not care about the affairs of Yan State at all.

It seems that what the other party needs is just Yan Guo to obey his will at certain moments, but apart from that, Yan Guo is still doing his own thing.

So the Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant comforted themselves, saying that they still had time. They just couldn't believe that the real dragon had no heir before because he had someone hot under his butt and couldn't bear to see his child suffer. Now that he is retired and can travel around, how can he still bear it?

Even Wei Yanwu, who was hiding in Longmen, could give birth to a child. Anyway, they had given up on the two brothers, Zhenlong and Wei Yanwu. When the time came, they could just wait for them to lay a boy's egg and then take him back to raise him again.

So while the court officials were exchanging glances and trying to figure out what the True Dragon was thinking, the True Dragon had already brought up the things he had prepared overnight.

The beginning woke up all the court officials who were still dozing off.

【Repentance Edict】

"Although the disaster of the Year Beast has been resolved, it still troubles the people of Great Yan. This is my fault. The former emperor died, the crown prince fled, the Grand Tutor accused him of crimes, and my entire family suffered. This is my fault. The city-state is prosperous, but bandits are rampant. The people of Great Yan are exhausted from making a living, but still have difficulty eating. This is my fault. Now the fault lies with me. I am ashamed and will punish myself and make corrections. I will seek a wise and virtuous ruler and establish a new one."

The True Dragon recited slowly and steadily, but the court officials below were already silent. They didn't know what was wrong with the current True Dragon. Instead of rewarding him for his merits, he came up to accuse himself of a bunch of crimes and mistakes, looking so ashamed that he had no choice but to abdicate and establish another powerful ruler.

The True Dragon's expression doesn't seem fake, but rather it seems like he is determined to abdicate. So after the True Dragon finishes reading this, should we persuade him or praise him? Moreover, the current True Dragon has no heir, so who should be the new king?

The court officials were at a loss and turned to the Grand Tutor and Grand Marshal in front for help.

"... "

The Grand Marshal and the Grand Tutor actually didn't want to speak at all, because Zhenlong had already made all the arrangements, but since all the ministers had seen them like this, they still had to pretend.

"Your Majesty, why is it so?"

"My dear minister, there is no need to persuade me. I have made up my mind and will not regret it."

A better life is right before his eyes. Zhenlong frantically suppresses the corners of his mouth that are about to burst open. He wants to deal with all the mess before making room for Si Ye to save Si Ye from worrying.

"The Dali Temple should reopen its investigation into the Grand Tutor's assassination attempt. The blame lies entirely with me. Return justice to the Grand Tutor and the world."

“…Your Majesty is wise.”

After the Taifu finished speaking, it was the Taiwei's turn to perform. The old man Feilin made a face full of bitterness and hatred, and bowed deeply to Zhenlong.

"Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, we, the ministers, will not say much. However, Your Majesty has no heirs, so where will the new ruler be established?"

The Grand Marshal asked the question that the court officials wanted to ask the most, and they all looked at the real dragon behind the curtain.

"Do you recognize the man who killed Sui yesterday?"

The real dragon naturally knew that the ministers did not recognize him, so he said to himself

"He is my uncle, a man of immense power. He put an end to the disaster caused by the Year Beast. His military and literary skills are unmatched. He is undoubtedly a rare hero in the world."

The eunuch at the side timely presented the portrait of Si Ye that was made overnight. The ministers looked at the portrait and thought, well, it is a dragon clan, but why are there black and white horns? When did the Yan family have such a branch?

Before the ministers could become suspicious, all the documents and jade carvings prepared by Zhenlong to prove his identity were brought up one after another. They were so well prepared that even if the prince from several generations ago was really brought back to life, he would be confused as to whether he really had such a branch.

"If it is your Majesty's will, we will naturally obey."

The Grand Tutor and the Grand Commandant cooperated with Zhenlong to directly put an end to the matter, leaving the doubts and confusions of the ministers behind them to be blocked in their throats.

After the Grand Court Meeting...

With such a huge event happening, all the ministers returned to their homes and contacted their own connections and confidants, trying to figure out what the True Dragon was up to next and who the new True Dragon who was about to succeed to the throne was.

"If you are unable to find any available personnel after you succeed to the throne, the old general and the teacher will surely be able to lend a hand."

Now that the matter is over, all that is missing is an abdication ceremony. Then the real dragon will be free, and he will feel a little elated.

"It seems that you are not fully prepared?"

Si Ye looked at the embarrassment under Zhenlong's excitement. It was obvious that Zhenlong had probably discovered that Yan State was not so stable and peaceful. His abdication was like a stone dropped into a pond, which might alarm many demons and monsters.

"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself, sir. Hundreds of clans have prospered, but over the dynasties, the clans have become aristocratic families. The local areas are deeply entrenched. I'm afraid your new policies will not be easy to implement."

Si Ye and Zhen Long had naturally discussed the administrative logic of the empire. Although the theory was that the feudal political system would be better able to implement this system, when it was actually implemented, it would affect the interests of the local nobles and aristocrats, and the resistance would be even greater than in Casimir.

After all, most of Casimir's knights and nobles have been spoiled, and the strength of their resistance is limited compared to their coquettishness.

But the aristocratic families of Dayan are different. Dayan has never experienced the Tianjie trampling on the bones of nobles. The aristocratic families have been operating in the local area for hundreds of years and have an astonishing influence. Without a suitable reason, it is difficult for the real dragon to touch these aristocratic families.

"Difficult to promote? Difficult to implement? Then just cut them all off. Keeping them will only make the rice more expensive anyway."

Si Ye's few words gave people the stench of a sea of ​​blood and corpses. To put it bluntly, this place can still produce aristocratic families. It can only be said that the real dragon of Yan State was soft-hearted and did not find an excuse to kill them all.

"..."

Si Ye's solution was simple and crude, and everyone fell silent.

"This is certainly a quick fix, but your reputation will be significantly impacted. If this continues, it will likely hurt people's morale."

Knowing that Si Ye was a fierce man who could kill people alone, and perhaps used to solving everything with force, the Grand Tutor hurriedly advised

Can't Dayan get rid of the aristocratic families? Of course it can. It's okay for the private slaves and soldiers raised by those aristocratic families to bully the people, but if the garrison and the imperial guards really approach, they can even flatten the city, let alone the small aristocratic families.

But Dayan is not the one who has the final say in Xinghai after all. This kind of behavior without any justification will only lead to the other families banding together for survival, and eventually cause the people to be unstable and affect the stability of Dayan.

"Well, then kill them all. They don't think of the emperor's grace and the three tribes. As for the people's opinions, I can make Da Yan free from famine and foreign threats. How can I manipulate the people's opinions? I'm afraid that those people will make the aristocratic families die too painfully, and it will be too easy for them."

Even though the Terra continent is rich in philosophers, to put it bluntly, Dayan is still a feudal dynasty. Si Ye has orthodoxy and righteousness in one hand and endless canned meat and medicine in the other, so it is not easy for him to control those aristocratic families.

As for the kings, princes, generals and ministers who really have guts, well, they are not as brave as Si Ye anyway. When it comes to fist fighting, I hope the necks of these families are tougher than the Sui Beast.

"this…"

Taifu and Zhenlong looked at each other. Although they felt that it was still too rough, based on their experience, they thought that if Si Ye was really that rich, this method could really work.

"The Grand Commandant... should be the leader in charge of the army."

After persuading the Grand Tutor, the head of the civil officials, Si Ye looked at the old man Feilin who had a stubborn face.

"Yes."

The general was neither humble nor arrogant. Although the military also coveted Si Ye's canned meat, a soldier had his own pride and awareness, and he would never be persuaded or bribed with just a few words.

"I will solve the evil demon problem in the north, which will allow Da Yan to withdraw many elite troops. Tell me, isn't Da Yan's territory a little small?"

The general remained respectful but remained calm. Si Ye continued.

"I heard that the wife of the former Crown Prince Wei Yanwu was the former Princess of the East Kingdom. Now that the truth about the Grand Tutor and the former True Dragon has been revealed, it is only right that the former Crown Prince should be given the title of King again. It would not be nice to have a spouse without a real title, but pretending to marry the Princess of the East Kingdom would also damage the dignity of the Yan Kingdom. It would be better..."
