Chapter 296: The Eve Before the Expedition (Part 1)
Chapter 296: Eve of the Expedition (Part 1)
Yun Haoyu left the palace gate with concern and returned to the military headquarters. He stayed absent-mindedly until after get off work, and went out to get on his own ship and flew home.
He didn't know how to face his family after he went back. The emperor's will was not to be disobeyed, but he himself could never accept such a result! What should he do? How can he come up with a way to achieve the best of both worlds?
"It was out of kindness at the beginning, but now it caused you trouble!" Ruolan sighed in his mind, "Now I have nothing to help you! It depends on how you choose!"
"Nothing, there will always be a solution!" Yun Haoyu cheered up and said, "Even if I don't agree, they can't tie me up and get married, right?"
"If you are willing to abandon everything here, you can leave. The starry sea is so big! Where can you not go?" Ruolan said suddenly.
"What did you say?" Yun Haoyu was shocked, "Abandon everything? Is it so easy?"
"Why is it not easy? As long as you can make up your mind, it will be done!" Ruolan said, "I mean it! Your position in this empire has reached its peak! Even if you rise again in the future, you will not be much higher! Even a prince is still under control? And within this system, the constraints you are subject to are everywhere! It is difficult to do whatever you want!"
"Now for the so-called overall situation of this empire, you must give up the woman you like. If you are for any other reason in the future, Your Majesty will make you give up more things, such as your relatives, your brothers, your personal dignity or something else! Do you also want to compromise?"
"..." Yun Haoyu was silent. Of course, he knew that Ruolan's words were correct and directly hit the nail on the head!
Now I am in a high position and have the support of the emperor in many matters, everything goes smoothly! However, the reason why the emperor is willing to support himself and even tolerate some of his unruly behaviors is conditional! That is, he must obey the arrangements in all actions.
When the emperor discovered that this young genius was not as obedient as he thought, would he continue to tolerate himself?
After being together for so long, he has also gained some understanding of the temperament of His Majesty! If you don’t cooperate on certain principles, there will definitely be no good ending! He will not be able to show off to you just because you have talent and military achievements!
Fang Yukun is the lesson of the past! He is still like this to his nephew. He is a civilian general with no background. If His Majesty is unhappy, then he will do whatever he wants.
After all, Ruolan is not an ordinary person, and her vision and insight are not something that ordinary people can achieve! Her words are unpleasant, but she analyzes his current situation clearly!
In fact, as a minister of the empire, he had no choice at all! Either agree, he had to sacrifice everything for the empire! Including the principles and bottom line of being a human being! If he disagrees, he would immediately lose all his power and status, and even implicate his family!
Maybe, when there is no choice, do you really want to leave what Ruolan said, leaving everything behind?
He was not greedy for the power he had now, but he had been through life and death, and finally got everything he had today! He could make his family live a comfortable and prosperous life! And when he was about to seek justice from that family, he would give up everything and start over again, and he would definitely feel a little unwilling to accept it!
No matter what, go back and discuss with your family first! If they support themselves, it’s nothing to make a difficult decision! To be honest, he is from the bottom of society and is used to all kinds of injustice in the world. His loyalty to this empire is not as high as the outside world thinks!
How much contribution did you make to the empire's birth and death? But if you don't even allow such legitimate ideas to protect your loved ones, then there is nothing worth nostalgic about in this country!
My idea was settled, and my heart suddenly felt relieved.
The ship landed slowly on the apron, and Luo Qingyue, her sister, and the biochemical butler Shuangyan were waiting on the sidelines as usual. When they saw him coming out, they all came forward with joy.
I am their spiritual pillar and the basis of happiness! And they are also the reason for themselves to fight for it outside!
"Brother, you're back!" The sister took his arm and said happily: "Sister Qingyue and I both took leave today and went to customize the dress! We'll put it on for you later, you'll definitely like it!"
"Yeah! OK!"
"What's wrong with you?" Luo Qingyue was more sensitive and found that he was feeling a little depressed: "Do you feel uncomfortable? Or is something happening?"
"Nothing!" he said calmly, "Let's talk about it after you go back! Call your brother and them all over here. Some things need to be discussed!"
Several women looked at each other and felt a little worried.
It didn't take long, Luo Hanxing, Yang Wentao, Hu Mu, Tian Xuanhao, Lei De and others arrived.
In an underground secret room, Yun Haoyu told the whole story about the cause and effect! Then he said: "If you have any ideas, why not tell me!"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment!
Yang Wentao shook his head and said, "This is the disadvantage of an imperial country! If you are in the Federation, even if your power is prominent, how could you force people to do such a thing?"
Red glanced at him: "Okay! Now is not the time to discuss which is better, democracy or imperialism! Just say, how should you solve the problem of your lord now!"
"Actually, I think this is a good thing!" Hu Mu said, "The lord becomes the prince consort and will be the prince's husband in the future, and his status will only be higher! It is beneficial to everyone! As for the lord's concern, it is actually nothing! Even if he has no status, isn't he considered the lord's wife?"
Tian Xuanhao said dissatisfiedly: "You said it simply! If you really marry that princess, will she still tolerate her own men and other women in the future? Even if she allows it, she will not tolerate him and other women giving birth to offspring. Such a result! I would not agree! The dignity of a man is gone!"
In fact, everyone understands this principle. Once Yun Haoyu gives in to this issue today, he may give in to other principles for the so-called overall situation tomorrow! Since even his relatives can be abandoned, what else can't be sacrificed for trading? Including them!
Luo Hanxing pondered for a moment and said, "The key to the problem lies with His Highness the Princess! If she no longer insists on choosing Yun Haoyu as her son-in-law, the trouble will be resolved!"
"How is this possible? She proposed this candidate herself!" Luo Qingyue said with some anger, "Besides, even if she is willing to give up, the emperor will not allow him to marry us! She will definitely give him another princess!"
This is true. The emperor's original intention was not to let his genes get what others gain! In any case, his descendants must be branded as members of the royal family!
This shows the selfishness and dominance of the royal family!
Next, everyone talked for a while, but there was no good idea!
"Since it's unimaginable, I can only give up the foundation here! Leave the empire and start a business elsewhere!" Yun Haoyu said slowly, "I wonder what you think?"
Everyone was speechless, and the secret room was silent.
Everyone understands how difficult this choice is! But if it doesn’t, it will not solve the current dilemma!
"What? Are you scared?" Luo Hanxing looked around and suddenly laughed: "Are you reluctant to let go of everything in your hands? Yes, you are now senior officers carrying the generals on your shoulders! You have been born and died on the front line for so long before you can change into this general uniform! I suddenly gave up and came back from scratch, and I really can't let go!"
"But you don't think about it. With your talents, where can't you make a career? Now the chaos in the Star Sea countries has emerged, and the human world is about to usher in a major change! After we go out, we either seek a big country to surrender, or establish our own foundation! It's all in one thought! What's the pity for a little status here?"
"And I want to remind you that this empire is an empire that has lasted for thousands of years! The system in all aspects has been perfected and has long been rigid! As the lowest-level people who work hard, we are always a minority in this country and a minority excluded by mainstream forces! No matter how hard we work, we cannot truly become one of them! Including the lord!"
"So! What should I do, please do it!"
After a long time, Yang Wentao said: "Since that's the case! Then, we need to start preparing now! When to go, how many things to take, and where to go! We must make careful decisions on these issues!"
"That's right!" Zhong Xuying suddenly said, "It's certain to leave! But I don't agree with leaving now!"
Speaking of this, she turned on her light brain, called out a star map, and pointed out: "Now the Xuanluo Federation is in an urgent battle with the Empire, and the Empire is in an unfavorable situation! If the Federation really wins this game, then the strategic balance of this star sea may be broken!"
"Once the Federation has the upper hand, it will work with the small and medium-sized countries around the empire to jointly siege the empire! With the current strength of the empire, it doesn't matter in a short period of time, but if the surrounding major powers are cheap and take advantage of it at the same time, the current empire will most likely not be able to hold on! Once this area of the Xinghai is unified under a banner, then we will have no chance of development!"
"So, we can leave, but we must wait until the battle is over before leaving!"
Yun Haoyu stared at the star map and asked, "What you mean is that we must help the empire win this battle! Let the two major powers re-establish balance, and then we have the opportunity to develop in this starry sky?"
"Yes, that's it!"
"Okay!" Yun Haoyu nodded, "Things are settled! I will pretend to agree to His Majesty, and then request to go to southern Xinjiang, and find a way to take you there too!"
"This is the last thing we have done for this empire! Once the war is over, we can leave! To establish our own foundation, and we will never have to act according to other people's faces!"
"Agree first! These legions must be elite and their equipment must be new! If they dare to use some garbage to charge, hum!" He smiled coldly, "I have to lead the troops to ask for people in person!"
"Yes! Your Excellency General!" Yang Wentao saluted and went out to deliver the transfer order!
After he left, Yun Haoyu continued to "fight" the documents in front of him, and handled them in an orderly manner depending on the priorities of the matter. After being the director for so long, he was no stranger to this.
Suddenly, he felt something, and suddenly looked up and found that Fang Yuqing was standing not far in front of him, with Yingying's beautiful eyes staring at him constantly.
