To be honest, even with Qiu Tu's city, hearing those words from Tao Yaoyao's mouth was a bit shocking!
King Kang passed away?!
This is the fucking top leader of a shelter. In his previous life, he was the Prime Minister and President of a country.
Such a figure is destined to leave a mark in the history of his country.
Each one of them is truly a proud son of heaven and a son of destiny.
So he died like that?
It's not that King Kang can't die, it's just that he can't die so hastily.
He passed away at such a sensitive time. If he said there was nothing fishy about it, who would believe it?
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and then he sheathed his sword and asked, "Did you die? How did you die?"
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tao Yaoyao said, "The shelter has just received the news, there are no specific details."
"I just heard that King Kang has not been in good health in the past two years since he was injured in the battle a few years ago."
"I stay in bed most of the time every day. Even when he met with the deputy speaker of the 3rd shelter some time ago, he dragged his sick body and forced himself to meet him."
"During this period, King Kang's health continued to deteriorate, and he finally passed away yesterday."
"That night, the cabinet of the 6th Sanctuary formed the "Postmortem Handling Committee" and then began to take over a series of affairs after King Kang's death."
Speaking of this, Taoyao paused and added, "In addition, it is said that before his death, King Kang called all the cabinet ministers to his bedside, and then wanted to change the political system of the 6th Sanctuary."
"From the "dual monarchy" to the "constitutional monarchy", Prince Feng Kang is the new master of the sanctuary, but he only has a reputational status and no longer enjoys actual power."
After hearing Tao Yaoyao's words, Qiu Tu's expression did not change at all, but he took a deep breath in his heart.
'What a cruel blow to the bottom of the cauldron!'
Although it is not certain whether King Kang was killed by Kou Xuan or whether the edict was forged; however, the current situation in the 6th Sanctuary is indeed deteriorating rapidly for Qiu Tu.
First of all, the death of King Kang caused the most critical "strategic buffer" between Qiu Tu, Princess Xi and the Kou family. They had to fight hand-to-hand.
Don't look at it as if there is no problem. The problem is too big.
Princess Xi and the Kou family are both native forces of the 6th Sanctuary and do not need a "strategic buffer".
However, Qiu Tu was an outsider.
If he wants to intervene in the affairs of Sanctuary 6 reasonably and legally without causing a backlash from other forces in Sanctuary 6, he must do so slowly.
Don't act too hastily or use too much force.
He must gradually get used to it in the 6th Sanctuary and accept that Qiu Tu can participate in the affairs of the 6th Sanctuary before Qiu Tu dares to take action against the Kou family.
Moreover, only in this way, after the Kou family is defeated, can Qiu Tu stay in the 6th Sanctuary legitimately.
Without this premise, Qiu Tu is an external force. He has neither the qualifications to intervene in the affairs of the 6th Sanctuary, nor the reason to stay in the 6th Sanctuary.
At that time, it is very likely that the bamboo basket will be empty, and the wedding dress for Princess Xi will be made for nothing.
As a result, now that King Kang is dead, Qiu Tu has only two choices.
Either face the backlash and forcibly intervene in the affairs of Sanctuary 6. Otherwise, give up directly.
The second is the change of political system.
The political system has always been the core thing of a country and an organization.
Changes in the political system are likely to cause political earthquakes and even cause the entire country and organization to fall apart.
After all, changes in the political system represent the reshuffling and substitution of power.
During this period, many people and many forces may benefit, or many people and many forces may be eliminated.
But this matter is different in the 6th shelter.
The political system of Sanctuary 6 is "dual monarchy". It means that the monarch and the cabinet jointly govern the world.
Later, King Kang became seriously ill and power fell into the hands of the cabinet.
It can be said that in the past two years, Sanctuary 6 has been a "constitutional monarchy".
Therefore, the conversion of Sanctuary 6 to a "constitutional monarchy" can be said to be almost seamless.
And more importantly, why didn't the Kou family directly implement a parliamentary system, but instead established a constitutional monarchy?
That was to divide the royalists and win over Princess Xi.
This is also the biggest conspiracy of the Kou family this time:
They did not usurp the throne, but chose to steal the supreme power of Sanctuary legally, but left their reputation to Princess Xi.
The advantage of doing this is that the Kou family did not directly usurp the throne and become king. Instead, they stole the supreme power by changing the political system.
This will greatly weaken the impact of the Kou family's change of dynasty. It can also reduce the opposition of the human camp.
Moreover, because it is a "constitutional monarchy", Princess Xi and the Crown Prince are still the nominal top leaders of the asylum. Their clothing, food and clothing, and even some basic rights can still be retained.
Even, because the righteousness is still there, the royalists can still exist and have a slight influence on the sanctuary.
This conspiracy directly reversed the initial situation of "two parties confronting each other" and even fighting to the death.
Coupled with the current situation where the royalists are weak and Prince Kang is too young to take charge, Princess Xi will most likely agree.
In other words, if she doesn't agree, the royalists may also want her to agree.
After all, for the royalists: as long as King Kang's bloodline is still in power and they can live a well-fed life, their basic goal has been achieved.
Prince Kang is only over a year old now. Even if they really kill the Kou family and maintain the political system as a "dual monarchy", Prince Kang will not be able to rule.
It's not much different from the current situation.
Moreover, Qiu Tu suspected that if the Kou family could commit such a regicide, wouldn't they negotiate with the royalist bosses and win over them with benefits?
Finally, the most vicious and crucial aspect of this move is actually time.
Now Princess Xi is in the 8th shelter, and some of her most loyal members of the royalist faction have come to the 8th shelter to rescue her.
King Kang passed away suddenly, and it would take at least 3-5 days for Princess Xi to bring people back.
By then, the day lilies will be cold.
Not to mention King Kang's body, I probably won't even see King Kang's ashes.
Coupled with the fact that the power has been devolved before, the change of political system will be very simple.
When the time comes, Princess Xi will be helpless.
Qiu Tu even speculated that in order to avoid Princess Xi's remote command, the entire 6th Sanctuary is now likely to take the opportunity of King Kang's death to directly close the country and isolate internal and external communications.
Now the entire Shelter 6 is probably a black box to outsiders.
No one knows what's going on inside, and no one knows what will happen.
Only when the dust settles will light be restored.
Thinking this, even Qiu Tu couldn't help but shake his head.
Kou Xuan's move was really powerful, and it directly disrupted all the plans of himself and Princess Xi.
Fortunately for me, although I have been preparing to intervene in the 6th shelter, I have not officially intervened yet.
You can withdraw anytime you want. There is almost no loss.
Princess Xi is different now. She may be in a dilemma.
After all, Kou Xuan's hand directly hit her lifeline. As she moves forward, the royalist faction is likely to have internal divisions and cannot support her to continue to seize the throne.
As she moves forward, she and her son will no longer be able to hold supreme power over the sanctuary.
'So. What will you choose?'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look up in the direction of the 8th shelter.
At the same time, No. 8 Shelter, Fengtian Hotel, Presidential Suite.
Princess Xi, who was wearing a luxurious dress, was looking at the maid in front of her with a frosty face.
After the maid finished telling all the information, she wiped the sweat from her head and said, "This news was sent in the form of an announcement, so the guards' hearts were agitated."
"Master Ji Yuan is currently calming the guards, and then asked me to ask the princess how you choose."
After hearing the maid's words, Princess Xi's face was so gloomy that it almost rained.
She held the information in her hands, her heavy chest rising and falling violently.
However, being able to find the most suitable way out as soon as her family is in trouble; being able to train dead soldiers as a teenager; being able to pull out a powerful royalist faction in just a few years, Princess Xi is obviously still a very capable person.
and women of political means.
Therefore, she suppressed her emotions and asked in a deep voice, "What do Mr. Guo, Mr. Xiong, and Hayden say?"
The maid hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Hui, I don't know, Princess Hui."
"After Master Ji got the news, he contacted Mr. Guo immediately."
"But the two of them didn't even exchange a few words before the line was disconnected."
"After that, Master Ji tried to restore communication, but tried many methods, but nothing happened."
"In the end, he suspected that the Kou family directly cut off the main external communication line of the shelter."
"Now the shelter is an isolated island with no contact, and no one knows what is going on."
When Princess Xi heard this, her face turned completely cold.
But at the end, the maid added, "But Mr. Ji said that after he contacted Mr. Guo, he immediately confirmed the prince's safety."
"The Crown Prince has now been moved to a safe place and is being protected at all levels. There should be no danger for a while."
Hearing the luck in this misfortune, the expression on Princess Xi's face finally softened a little.
But she still closed her eyes, and then waved to the maid, "You go down first, I will be quiet by myself."
After hearing Princess Xi's words, the maid quickly bowed and left the room quickly.
When the maid closed the door, Princess Xi was suddenly alone in the room.
She reached out and wanted to smash the things in her hand to pieces, but she stopped when the things were in mid-air.
After remaining still for a few seconds, Princess Xi suppressed her emotions and slowly put the things in her hands back on the table.
Then she got up, walked to the window of the presidential suite, and looked out the window.
The eight major shelters are the last masterpieces of human civilization in the Catastrophic Era. So although it is not as full of high-rise buildings as before the Cataclysm, it is still a prosperous scene.
Overlooking the 8th Sanctuary, Princess Xi couldn't help but think of the 6th Sanctuary, and the more than ten years since she went to Prince Kang directly to start over after her family suffered a big change.
Now that all her plans have come to nothing, she feels extremely calm in her heart, and her eyes are extremely deep and dark.
Noon, Dongyezhou, Qiu Tu's mansion.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace and keeping multiple escape routes has always been Qiu Tu’s bottom line. Let go
Although the 6th shelter is Qiu Tu's goal, Qiu Tu does not only have the 6th shelter.
Like continuing to be promoted in the 8th Sanctuary, like directly enclosing the territory and establishing the 9th Sanctuary.
For example, rely on Zhao Ji and La Riluo to establish a unified anti-government armed force in the disaster area.
The higher you go, the more choices you have. And you can always find a way out.
Not to mention anything else, the 2,000 dark soldiers in Qiu Tu's hands are, to a certain extent, enough for Qiu Tu to start a business anywhere and at any time.
Now, he is no longer as poor as when he first traveled through time, and could only rely on gold fingers.
Now, he has too many abilities, precious phantoms and helpers that are better than Golden Finger.
Of course, no one will disdain that he is strong. If he can have one more golden finger and his strength becomes stronger, Qiu Tu will certainly be more confident!
With this in mind, Qiu Tu took a stroll upstairs after having lunch.
Back upstairs, Qiu Tu burned incense and took a bath, and then began to pick up this month's golden finger.
Qiu Tu now has a total of three golden finger positions, two of which are fixed, namely "Crisis Smell" and "Loyalty Game".
These two golden fingers are closely related to Qiu Tu's current development, and it is impossible for Qiu Tu to give up.
Therefore, he only has the third golden finger position to refresh.
"Tian Lingling, Earth Lingling, let's have a more useful golden finger."
"Something can help me develop my power, or it can solve the problem of the 6th Sanctuary, or it can help me fight against the evil god's golden finger."
"Well, it's best to be the one who can outdo Zhao Ji."
Thinking like this, Qiu Tu silently said refresh in his heart.
As before, there were no special effects or sounds. The next second, this month's new cheat flashed before Qiu Tu's eyes: something for nothing!
"Getting something for nothing?" Qiu Tu's eyes moved slightly as he muttered the name.
Then he studied the cheat carefully.
“No gain without effort?”
"As long as there is no interaction with other creatures, this cheat can be triggered?"
"It ranges from practicing catastrophic pathways and martial arts; to unlocking and drawing pictures. As long as I can "theoretically" do it, can I "actively trigger" this cheat?"
"For example, I don't need to practice the basic sword skills that Tang Feifei taught me before?"
"As long as I activate this ability, I am equivalent to creating a clone to practice that sword skill non-stop, and the experience of practice will be continuously absorbed by myself?"
"And I should handle official duties when I should handle them? Should I do it in a cool and unrestrained way?"
"For example, if I want to draw a painting, I just need to turn on this golden finger and prepare paper, ink, pen and inkstone. After a while, the materials will be consumed automatically, and then a piece of my painting will be born?"
"hiss!"
Although this cheat is not powerful, it is very subtle. It feels like there is a huge space for development?
Don't say it, don't say it. In just a moment, Qiu Tu had several uses of this ability in his mind.
For example, "practice martial arts", such as "refining regional center", such as "handling official business", and another such as "alibi".
With this ability, Qiu Tu can finally "kill enemies all over the house, and still handle official duties at the same time."
This is simply more convenient than opening a clone. After all, Qiu Tu did it himself.
Thinking of this, Qiu Tu suddenly froze as if he had thought of something.
Huh? Wait a minute.
If this ability can really do anything "one can do".
Then can I use it to depict the extremely complex catastrophic ability "Sealing Jade"?
Qiu Tuke remembers that the biggest problem he had with depicting "sealed jade" was that the structure was too complex and it was too troublesome to depict.
And he was too busy to write.
But now that there is "something for nothing", maybe I can achieve success in 2-3 days?
