Terra Martial God and Merit System

Only then did she realize that they were in the former slum area of ​​Kamsco.

Chen Huijie realized one thing...she had been in Kamsco for so long, but she hadn't seen the slums.

She originally thought that the slums in Kamsk were so hidden that she couldn't find them. Now it seemed that it wasn't that she couldn't find them, but that they didn't exist.

After that, Chen Huijie carefully studied the history of Kamsco.

After learning about what Luo Chen had done and people's current living conditions, Chen Huijie finally understood why Luo Chen had suspended her from her job.

At the same time, she also understood why everyone believed that Kamsko would win.

Chen Huijie seemed to understand everything, but she became more confused.

Chen Huijie went to find an acquaintance of hers, an acquaintance from Longmen.

........

Arriving at the office of the Minister of Commerce, Chen Huijie heard a voice inside: "Opening a triple factory? No! We are in short supply of workers who have passed the night school assessment. How can we..."

"What? Luo Chen's order?"

"*Longmen swear*! Okay okay."

Chen Huijie knocked on the door.

She pushed the door open and walked in, just as Lin Yuxia hung up the phone.

"Oh? A rare guest?" Lin Yuxia looked at Chen Huijie and smiled, "How was your workout?"

Chen Huijie didn't want to argue with her, so she just pulled out a chair and sat down in silence.

Lin Yuxia noticed something and stopped talking, just poured a cup of tea.

"Are you going back to Longmen?" Chen Huijie suddenly asked.

"....Ah?" Lin Yuxia didn't expect the other party to suddenly ask this question, and she was stunned for a moment.

Then there was a long silence.

After a long silence, Lin Yuxia smiled bitterly - "It's... I can't go back."

"Why?" Chen Huijie asked.

“The ghetto,” Lin Yuxia answered. “I saw how Kamsco eliminated its own ghetto.”

"Chen, I was born in the slums of Longmen. I have carefully studied how the slums were born."

She took a sip of tea and carefully tasted the bitterness:

"Because the wilderness is too harsh, a natural disaster or a man-made disaster will make the original settlers unable to survive and become refugees. In the end, they only have one choice... to go to the city."

"The slums in Longmen are full of people like this. That's why there are good and bad people mixed together."

"Chen...the slums and Longmen city are two worlds. Two completely unrelated worlds." Lin Yuxia said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Slum dwellers earn low incomes through a variety of means, and then buy cheap food, live in cheap housing, and receive shoddy medical care."

"In urban areas, residents work in legitimate and legal jobs, buy nutritious and healthy food, live in bright and comfortable rooms, and enjoy sound medical care."

"Although there is only a wall between them, they are not in the same world. If a poor person were to live in the city, he would not be happy because his income could not support the life in the city."

"Similarly, urban residents don't want to see the poor come out of the ghetto. So, they are two completely non-circulating worlds."

"Interesting, isn't it? The labor expended may be exactly the same, but the income is completely different. Why?"

"I thought about how to change this situation - change everyone's mindset, and bring order to the ghetto. It became the so-called 'downtown'."

"Then I realized I was wrong." Lin Yuxia's expression suddenly became sad.

"Kamsko told me... No, Luo Chen told me with facts."

"If we want to eliminate the gap between these two worlds, we have to completely eliminate some people."

"If you go back to Longmen, you won't be able to help doing this. Right?" Chen Huijie said calmly.

"That's right. Because this is the truth." Lin Yuxia nodded, "It seems you know it too."

"...Of course I understand." Chen Huijie was silent, "The truth...is really the truth."

"Don't tell me that all the people from Longmen who came with you think so."

“Maybe there were different opinions,” Lin Yuxia said, “but none of them left.”

"Wei Yanwu must be mad."

"I do not care."

"What about your parents? Have you explained it clearly to them?"

"..."

"I knew you didn't say it. Lin Yuxia, ah Lin Yuxia. You are still scared."

"I didn't. I've already prepared to write them a letter..." Lin Yuxia said gritting her teeth.

"Whatever you want." Chen Huijie stood up, "I understand everything now... I won't waste my time here with you."

"Wait a minute." Lin Yuxia stopped her. She took out a document from the drawer and said, "Here you go."

"This is..." Chen Huijie took it and opened it, and found that it was his appointment document.

"You've been reinstated now." Lin Yuxia said, "Go to work quickly."

"This..." Chen Huijie was still a little dizzy, "Why is this you..."

"Luo Chen asked me to take care of it." Lin Yuxia replied, "I feel that you have understood it now. You are able to take on this responsibility."

"....He trusts you so much?"

"He believes in all of us. Including you, Chen Huijie."

Chapter 191: Declaring Illegal

"Everyone, let us observe a moment of silence."

In the Imperial Parliament, the speaker on the stage spoke in a heavy and sad tone.

"Fourteen nobles, fourteen pillars of the empire, fourteen loyal subjects..."

"Their presence will not be forgotten. Their contributions will be remembered forever."

"..."

For three minutes, the entire parliament was silent.

Kamsk successfully completed the campaign and annexed all of western Ursus in one fell swoop.

However, there was no situation in the parliament where one party was happy while others were sad.

Even...Emperor Fyodor himself, who attended the meeting, looked very unhappy.

He had been trying to change all this before, but all his previous efforts had no way of affecting Kamsko's victory.

This great victory was like dropping a bomb on the political center of Ursus.

The consequences...are very serious.

It might even... directly threaten Fyodor's life.

Power itself is a manifestation of balance. In Ursus, it is the balance between the emperor and his subjects.

The original balance was that ministers had great power and the emperor was dispensable.

Now the emperor showed that he had an army that was capable of overturning tables.

Then the balance is completely lost.

These nobles and ministers knew how much they would be suppressed if power was returned to the emperor. In order to avoid this from happening...coups and assassinations were entirely possible.

Of course, there is also the method of "clearing the court".

There are two problems with this approach, however.

One is that Kamsko's troops are so sharp that no one is willing to stop them personally.

Another question is...is Fedor willing to give up this huge royalist force?

.....

The moment of silence ended and the speaker began to present the evidence.

The tragic scene on the battlefield, the dead bodies, the executed nobles...

Some of this came from the official newspapers of Kamsk, which really enjoyed showing the deaths of nobles.

Now, all of this has become irrefutable evidence to accuse Kamsko. There is so much evidence that even the widow of a noble who escaped came forward to speak.

The voices of rebuttal were so weak, almost nonexistent.

After all, they have already used the name of "serving the king". This means that they think they are killing traitors. In a sense, they have completely torn their faces apart.

Of course, whether Kamsiko killed a "traitor" or not is not up to them to say.

The decision rests with the Imperial Diet.

So after presenting the evidence, the voting began.

[Did Kamsko violate the laws of Ursus? ]

Fyodor looked at the seats of parliament in panic.

The noble councillors who were under the influence of Grand Duke Kosice raised their hands expressionlessly.

【Yes】

【Yes】

【Yes】

Many people raised their hands, forming a forest of arms.

After seeing that Lian Koschei had given up on Luo Chen, some of the originally neutral MPs immediately jumped out.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down; political factions may change at any time.

These people were originally worried about the toughness of the Emperor and Grand Duke Kosche, but now that Grand Duke Kosche has given up, they don't mind stepping on Kamsik.

In this way, maybe they can also get a share of the profits in the future distribution.

"There are still some members who have not voted." The person on the stage said loudly.

Those who have not raised their hands yet are all royalist deputies, and they are all waiting for the order from Emperor Fyodor.

Fyodor covered his face in pain and then let out a long sigh.

The number of people who agree has exceeded two-thirds. To be honest, the choice of royalist MPs is not that important at all.

The reason for asking this was to give the emperor a way out.

Fyodor knew he now had two choices.

One is to ask the members to abstain from voting and leave the meeting directly. This is a complete break with the party.

Maybe he would be assassinated that night, and the worst outcome might be his death... or escaping from the Castle of Saint Steed under the protection of the knife team.

Fleeing?

The Emperor of Ursus has never done this before.

Besides, Fyodor didn't trust those so-called internal guards at all.

So....now there is only one other option left.

Give up Kamsko.

"The other party won't obey my orders anyway... Instead of doing this, I might as well just give up..." Fyodor made excuses for himself.

"Yes... Luo Chen may have other intentions, but now... I still have to put my own safety first."

'Maybe Luo Chen can understand...'

Fyodor let out a long breath and gave the order.
