Mr. Yang, a prison inmate, was walking in the splendid palace with his hands behind his back.

Wherever he passed, he saw the officers and soldiers of the royal guard standing at attention and saluting, as well as the palace maids who couldn't help but take a peek when they bowed.

In front of the emperor's palace, the number of mechanical guards doubled.

What the old emperor didn't know was that the system of these mechanical guards was very old;

It was Yang Ming who let Lu invade and take control of these mechanical guards and put some patches on them, thus successfully avoiding being exploited by other forces.

——He was heartbroken for the most noble man in this country.

"Lord Viscount, please come in."

The maid pushed open the door of the bedroom with some effort. Yang Ming looked from a distance and saw the old emperor reclining on the throne with a gloomy expression.

This omnimachine seems to have accumulated a lot of negative emotions.

Yang Ming couldn't help but picture Princess Dana being thrown on the bed by the old emperor.

That thing really breaks through the ethical bottom line of normal human beings.

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming saluted the old emperor.

"They will actually sentence you," the old emperor said coldly, "just because you ordered the fire and defeated the New Federation's fleet, they will sentence you!"

Yang Ming: It’s already been half a month!

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming whispered, "this matter actually complies with military procedures."

"Don't you blame them?" The old emperor's eyes were a bit sharp.

Yang Ming smiled calmly: "The moment I gave the order to fire, the worst outcome I thought of was to be shot dead. I disobeyed orders on the battlefield, took the initiative to attack, and passively dragged our fleet into the war. This was the result of being shot several times.

It is not a sin worth overdoing."

"Really?" The old emperor frowned slightly, as if he didn't get the result he wanted.

Yang Ming changed the subject: "If it weren't for the fact that I was sent there by the Royal Guards, and with your intimidating power, it would definitely not be a simple half-year imprisonment."

The old emperor's breathing suddenly became much easier.

He stood up barefoot, his loose robe swaying slightly.

It was the familiar chat mode again. The old emperor took Yang Ming and talked while walking. The content ranged from literature to philosophy, from the starry sky to human nature. It took half an hour to get to the topic.

"I will pardon you," the old emperor said warmly, "I am deeply gratified by your courage and your loyalty to the royal family. With your help, Edwang will be able to regain control of the military soon."

Yang Ming immediately said:

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you now. Edwan is just a prince after all, and he respects you and obeys you.

"Also, please think twice about the pardon, otherwise I will be under greater pressure in the military, and those generals may be eager to assassinate me.

"They have gone too far."

"Yes," the old emperor narrowed his eyes, "The Minister of Defense was poisoned and the First Fleet almost lost control. It bypassed the royal family and directly contacted the Sherman Empire. They no longer take this royal family seriously.

.”

Yang Ming sighed: "This is a disease accumulated over the past few decades, and it is very difficult to recover."

"Viscount Yang Ming, I actually have high hopes for you," the old emperor said warmly, "From now on it will be your and Edwang's era, and I will use the royal family's resources to train you. I heard them say that you are now in the military.

It's very prestigious among the Young People's sect."

"It's because I ordered the fire, and everyone was in a very depressed mood at that time."

Yang Ming sighed:

"Your Majesty, you can actually believe that in this army, the vast majority of soldiers and low-level officers have the ideological consciousness to be loyal to the country.

"When the New Federation's fleet attacked civilians, I could feel that the atmosphere in the entire star cruiser became depressing, and everyone wanted to go up and fight the New Federation's invincible fleet.

"In fact, before giving the order to fire, I asked the officers and soldiers on the Emig cruiser to take a vote. Ninety percent of them chose to fight, five percent did not make a choice, and only 100 percent chose to fight.

The fifth is officers who are afraid of taking responsibility."

The old emperor nodded slowly, and he suddenly asked: "So, when the New Federation attacked the palace, how did the soldiers react?"

"Indifferent."

Yang Ming said softly, and the old emperor frowned tightly.

"Indifferent?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yang Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp color, and he said slowly:

"Maybe in the eyes of His Majesty, the imperial power is supreme, but in the eyes of the people, Luofeng Imperial Power is nothing more than a puppet of the Sherman Empire. They are not afraid of the imperial power, but they are afraid of the generals who control the fleet.

"Under the imperial system, power is realized from top to bottom, but when the people feel that the royal family does not have the ability to lead them, this power will have nowhere to delegate.

"The army is even more like this. The only thing the royal family can control is these tens of thousands of guards..."

"enough!"

The old emperor suddenly roared, his eyes seeming to spit out flames: "It is the imperial power that shaped this country!"

"Your Majesty," Yang Ming frowned slightly, "it is the people who have shaped this country."

"Without the Moon Clan's expansion of territory, where would Luo Feng come from?"

"Before the founding emperor of the Luofeng Empire, the former Grand Duke of the Sherman Empire, led his private fleet to capture these administrative stars, there were other political systems here."

Yang Ming said calmly:

"Before the royal family demands the loyalty of its subjects, shouldn't it reflect on what kind of protection the royal family can bring to this country?

"Your Majesty, the biggest problem in this country right now is the royal family.

"If the royal family was strong enough and commanded the three armies, the people would spontaneously salute you; but now, if your motorcade leaves the palace, the people will bow to you only because of the pressure from the escort.

"Lowering your head is just a concession, not a salute."

The old emperor took half a step back and stared at Yang Ming: "Viscount Yang Ming, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I am awake, Your Majesty."

Yang Ming smiled and said:

"You can extend my sentence just because of your personal emotions.

"When I gave the order to open fire on those Federation veterans, I had already made a decision.

"I will help Edwang because I am friends with Edwang and this country needs a monarch who understands economics to revitalize the economy.

"But from now on, I will only be responsible for the safety of the people of this country to fulfill my duties as a soldier.

"Also, before you angrily make the decision to extend my sentence, you may want to consider my current prestige among the young men in the army."

The old emperor suddenly raised his left hand, and the anger on his face could not be concealed at all. It seemed to be strangling Yang Ming's neck.

But when it raised its hand to grab Yang Ming, its movements suddenly became sluggish.

It covered its heart and staggered back two steps.

Yang Ming turned to look at the maid aside and said slowly: "Your Majesty is feeling unwell, why don't you come over and give him some help?"

The maids hurried forward, and the old emperor drove them away with a low roar.

"May I excuse myself, Your Majesty?"

Yang Ming asked softly: "If it's any later, I'll miss the prison meal."

"You! You traitor! You will never get out of that prison!"

Yang Ming nodded with a smile, gave a military salute to the old emperor, turned and walked towards the door.

The old emperor kept shouting.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

The mechanical guard outside the door remained motionless.

The eyes of the two rows of escorts were hesitant;

But the commands coming from their earphones made them understand that what they had to do at this moment was just to stand still and watch.

On the way back to prison, Yang Ming sent Lu a text message.

"I suggest that the old emperor extend my sentence to ensure that I can stay in prison for a longer period of time."

Lu's reply quickly popped up on the watch.

"The old emperor wanted to change your sentence to indefinite imprisonment, but the boss, Adwang, rushed to the palace and met with the minister

Together we are contradicting the old emperor."

pretty.

Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows. He finally made up his mind and wanted to use the old omnic emperor to disappear for a while.

After all, I still overestimated the upper limit of this omnimachine.
