After figuring this out, Ivan felt that returning to Hyperion would give him another reason to seize the throne.

However, seizing the throne belongs to seizing the throne, and his thinking began to change in his attitude towards Elleme.In the past, because he couldn't beat the opponent, he only wanted to kill her to avenge his shame.But it was different now. Yiwen felt that he could fight against her, and even had the upper hand.If one can go a step further on this basis and successfully condense the soul fire, it can be said that going back to win the position is a sure thing.

The height of the station is different, and the angle of considering the problem is also different.

Although Yiwen would also consider Menis' national destiny in the past, but because he was too far away from the center of power and his vision was limited, he always used to consider personal destiny and national destiny separately.Now that Ivan has made up his mind to run the Menes Empire and even the Star of Hyperion, and create enough resources for him to enhance his strength, his vision is undoubtedly much longer-term.

Want to master the Menesian Empire, manage it properly, and even develop into a prosperous civilization.Just figure out who you can trust?Who is worth wooing?

For a decaying empire whose rule is crumbling, the Sun King's most trustworthy and most important power is the royal family, because this group of people is tied to the dynasty, and all are prosperous and all are damaged.This group of people may be mentally retarded, prodigal, or ambitious, but they are definitely the group of people who most support the rule of the empire.

As for those who can use people, of course they are talents, and it is best to be the kind of talents who can turn the tide.

Ellome has both. She is not only a princess who is dedicated to maintaining the rule of the empire, but also a Valkyrie who is rare in a thousand years.It was really refreshing to kill her, but the sequelae left behind may not be healed in decades.

He and this cheap cousin have no blood feud, and they are still a couple in name.If you can use hard power to force her to let go of her figure, and willingly retreat to the second line to become the queen, it may not be impossible to cooperate and win-win.

In fact, the change in Ivan's attitude towards Ellome was not a slap on the thigh, but a careful consideration.For a long period of time, he wanted to get rid of the opponent and then quickly. With the rapid development of his strength, this idea has faded a little but is still stable.

Until he came up with an allusion from his previous life - "Yang Hu Shi Zhao".

The story takes place in the Spring and Autumn Period. The protagonists are Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Jian, the hero of the Zhao family in Jin, and Yang Hu, a rebellious minister from Lu.

Yang Hu is extremely capable, as Ji Sun's retainer, without a strong family background or political background, he is able to rank among Lu Guoqing's senior officials.Thus commanding Sanhuan, governing the State of Lu, and setting a precedent for "retainers governing the state" in the State of Lu.It was almost like Cao Mengde and Lu Fengxian in the Spring and Autumn Period, plotting to usurp power and rebelling against the lord repeatedly, with no lower limit in terms of character.

This unrestrained person didn't have a long time to be proud, and was expelled from the state of Lu for planning a coup d'etat and failing the coup d'etat.After defecting to Qi State, he was reused by Qi Jinggong, but he was expelled from Qi State because of restlessness.In the end, Yang Hu, who had nowhere to go, took refuge in Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Jian, the Zhongjun Zuo of Jin, with a pile of black history on his back.

Zhao Yang saw that he was a traitor, so he appointed Yang Hu as the chief assistant of the Zhao family to play a big role.Everyone said that Yang Hu was good at stealing other people's state affairs, so he should not be allowed to be the second in command of the Zhao family, so as not to raise a tiger.After Confucius heard about this incident, he also believed that Zhao Jianzi took in the rebellious officials, and there would be chaos in future generations.

Zhao Jianzi didn't take it seriously, thinking that Yang Hu could only plot a regime that could be plotted.

As a result, under Zhao Jianzi's training, Yang Hu, a ruthless character and an ambitious man, has no chance to make waves and can only follow his example willingly.And Zhao Jianzi got the assistance of Yang Hu, which made the family strength of the Zhao family stronger and stronger, and the prestige among the princes also increased day by day.

When a rebellious minister meets a strong lord, he feels like a fish in water.

If you want to achieve great things, you must have the courage.

The mess of the Menesian Empire can be a burden that drags you down, or it can be a treasure house that can be used endlessly. If you want to turn waste into treasure, you must have great courage and perseverance.So Yiwen decided to learn from Zhao Jianzi, train and raise this tigress well, and turn her into a house cat that looks after the house.Of course, if she didn't know how to flatter her and insisted on fighting him to death, Yiwen didn't mind sending her to meet the previous kings.

On the space city side, the long-overdue investigation team finally arrived at the Governor's Mansion the day after Mostima's death.Since the rebel forces were finished, the work they had to do was greatly reduced, and the only thing they could do was probably to reward them for their merits.

The protagonist of the award is of course Domon!

In the script written by Domon himself, he is a good-natured young man who regards personal honor and disgrace as nothing, is loyal to the Federation above his own life, and strategizes behind the scenes throughout the whole process.And Ivan is a kind and enthusiastic member of the friendly country, with strong strength, and has always been his right-hand man. He is a loyal and trustworthy good friend.Lucas was his guide, mentor, and guardian. In the end, he sacrificed generously in order to kill Mostima and remained loyal to the Federation until his death.

If you think about this set of rhetoric carefully, there are actually many loopholes, but the chiefs of the investigation team have a soft spot for it, and they don't even intend to delve into the loopholes.

One side is the need for publicity, and the other side is the arrogance of the 'Golden Descendants' - the citizens of the Federation play the leading role and complete the task of saving the world. Everyone loves such legendary stories.A half-civilized savage like the Menesian can even play a supporting role, and if there are too many scenes, some people will complain. If he plays the leading role, he will be a big treason!

Chapter 176 The Victim

The rebellion in the Governor's Mansion, the garrison area of ​​the home planet, and such a border defense area is extremely negative news for the federal government.This year coincided with the general election again, so the consul tried his best to play down the matter, but it must be impossible to cover up the matter so far, so it can only reduce the attention of voters.

In the eyes of politicians, the best way to counteract a negative news is to dig out positive news from the negative news.Therefore, the federal government urgently needs to create a hero to offset the scandal of the civil strife in the Governor's Palace.And Duomeng's script full of loopholes at this time just met the urgent needs of the upper class, so it was considered to be the right time for him to make a fortune.

Yiwen, the protagonist of the counter-insurgency, can only be marginalized as a supporting role in the script for political needs.Of course, in order to make him shut up obediently and to cooperate with government officials' campaigns and performances, the transfer of interests is inevitable.

one-one-one-one

Space City, Ridgewell Hotel.

A slender blond young man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with his head lowered, overlooking the panorama of the space city.

He was wearing a neat and exquisite black uniform, holding a metal cane with detailed carvings in one hand, looking gorgeous and exquisite without losing his heroic spirit.

After hearing the sound of steady footsteps entering the door, a blue stream of data flashed in the eyes of the young official, then turned around calmly, and handed his right hand to Ivan.The fingers are held empty, the joints are slender, and they are wearing spotless white gloves:

"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty Ivan."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Commissioner."

When Ivan saw that he was wearing gloves, he immediately raised his eyebrows, complimented him, and stood there straight, hesitantly refusing to stretch out his hand.

"I'm Danny, the Consul's commissioner, and I'm here for your business."

The young official withdrew his hand after catching the trace, then walked to the side of the desk, sat on the leather chair, and motioned him to sit opposite him.

Ivan took advantage of the opportunity to sit on the space chair in front of him, and leaned back on the back of the chair. While the other party was looking at himself, he was also carefully looking at him with a pair of dark eyes—there was no domineering aura, nor was he intentionally approachable. , There is only one kind of dignity that belongs to the superior.

From the outside, this kind of person should be a business-like type and the best negotiating partner.

"Your Majesty Yiwen, Your Excellency the Consul is very aware of your contribution to the Federation, and also knows that the observation team ignored some facts when dealing with the problem. And I came here to compensate you, as long as we obey the will of the Consul, we I can give you enough in return."

Danny put his arms flat on the table, sat in front of him in an impeccable posture, and said straight to the point.

"What can you give me?" Ivan tilted his head slightly, continuing to observe the ecology of the other party.

"Gold, women, a high-performance battle mech, or everything you want. For you, the Archon is the fairy who makes wishes. He can grant any of your wishes."

When the special commissioner said this, he leaned forward slightly, and approached him, his voice became cold and gloomy due to the deliberate depression: "But you have to remember one thing, people who are too greedy will not end well, goblins can satisfy you All your wishes can also make you have nothing.”

"I understand your Excellency's meaning. My request is very simple. Let the Haibolun Development Consortium leave my hometown." Faced with this situation, Ivan certainly would not be ignorant of flattery, and immediately seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The request of thinking about the night.

"..."

The special commissioner was silent and did not speak, but stared at him with a pair of deep blue eyes. The gaze of those eyes seemed to bring some kind of pressure, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became oppressive.After a stream of data flashed in the depths of his pupils, and he nodded slightly, the substantive low pressure immediately dissipated:

"With the disappearance of the Haibolun Development Consortium as a reward, in exchange for you to cooperate with Mr. Domon's performance, the transaction is established!"

After saying this, the consul's agent asked Ivan to evade for 3 minutes.

Ivan didn't know exactly what he did in the past 3 minutes. He only knew that when he returned to the office, the other party invited him to watch a holographic newsletter. All freezes, and all development projects are terminated.Then the stock value fell to the limit, the president resigned and apologized, and bankruptcy protection was declared within minutes.

"I have granted your wish."

The special commissioner immediately closed the news bulletin, stood up from the seat, and put on a rushing attitude:

"The Hyperion Development Consortium has gone bankrupt and its colonization license has been revoked. Those who forcibly stay on Hyperion will not be protected by federal law. The only thing they can do now is to sell all the redundant weapons and equipment at a low price , earn one last fortune and go back to the federal territory to consider re-employment. Now is your turn to show sincerity, and you know what to do."

"I will fully cooperate." Ina understood.

"Very good, please go back." After completing the transaction, Danny immediately issued an order to evict the guest.
