The new star calendar 1420 is destined to be a turbulent year.

In this year, the empire has experienced more than 2 battles, including but not limited to the invasion of star thieves, frictions between border forces, and conflicts between orcs.

The most famous is the border war in Sri Lanka and the Cambrian battle that ended not long ago. The former resulted in the death of a great nobleman, and the latter made the arrogant Noah Empire realize that it is more meaningful to win over the orcs than to enslave them .

Just when everyone thought that the turbulent year was about to pass like this, no one expected that at the end of the year, the Marlborough family, which had been suppressed one after another, would burst out with a strong resistance when they were dying!

They even disregarded the jazz's house arrest in Jindu, and directly supported his second son, Sean Marlborough, as the leader of the "rebel army".

When the emergency military situation reached the Sri Lankan Palace, Chu Mingyuan was still asleep.

Since the death of the regent, the little emperor has been in charge. Apart from handling government affairs during the day, he has to study the combat command video every night.

The scene actually looked a bit absurd—the eight-year-old stared at the brutal war record, and countless people died in the dazzling light waves in every frame.

Great hopes have been placed on this child since he was a baby, and no one dares to question or underestimate him.

Even Shi Han didn't realize Chu Mingyuan's military talent.

He is not as lively and restless as other children of the same age, and he often studies combat videos and command analysis reports until the early hours of the morning.Under high pressure and self-discipline, Chu Mingyuan's temper also became paranoid and unpredictable. No one dared to provoke him except Jiang Chengzhou. Even the dragon rider who was on duty at night dared to carry him back to the bedroom only after the little emperor fell asleep at his desk. rest.

That night, Chu Mingyuan had an unpleasant dream

He dreamed that when he was a child, a group of upstarts came to visit the Jindu Imperial Palace.

The so-called "new nobles" refer to nobles who have surpassed the original class and were newly promoted. The most common in the empire are meritorious nobles who were promoted with military merits. These people are great heroes who defend their families and the country.

But the upstarts in Sri Lanka back then were actually a group of businessmen who spent money to buy titles.

These people have monopolized interstellar resources and held a large amount of private wealth, and the government had to borrow money from them—if they didn’t do this, once Sri Lanka’s public power was suspended, the lords of small galaxies such as Murrez might pounce on them at any time. Their throats crunched.

Back then, the star robbers were even more rampant than they are now. Knowing that the power of Sri Lanka was in the hands of two underage nobles, they would attack and provoke every day.The most arrogant time, the star thief warship hoisted their skeleton star thief flag less than 200 miles away from the main planet of Jindu.

The regent disliked it very much that people mentioned the past in front of him, but Chu Mingyuan vaguely remembered it—under external and internal troubles, it was Shi Han who first let go and agreed to buy and sell the title.

For a while, the people of Xingwang yelled and cursed, and the big aristocratic group even opposed it fiercely, but this still could not shake his determination.

The palace people around the little emperor were outraged——

"What's that like talk? My God, what's that like!"

"Is it a big deal to have two stinky money?! Look, look! This is the first wave of people, and the palace is almost becoming a place for online celebrities to check in! You can come in with money, we are like monkeys in the zoo! With the orcs Pets are no different!"

"It really doesn't work to hand over the country to a child..."

"If I knew it was so outrageous, it would be better to let Lord Marlborough be the regent. At least the Sir will not do such absurd things..."

"Shh, don't talk about it! I think the young master is determined to do this! He doesn't even care about the ancestor's precepts and the law, and now he is becoming more and more crazy!"

"...God of the Heavenly Father, your loyal believer has nothing to ask for, but only hopes that His Royal Highness can grow up safely in this palace, and that he doesn't suffer from his uncle's murderous hands...Don't look at me like this, I'm really worried that one day the young master will attack this innocent child for the sake of power..."

……

The palace people were worried, but little Chu Mingyuan was very happy.

Every time a new rich man visits the palace, he will be closely guarded by his own soldiers and palace people, and at least he can go back to his own bedroom—there are soft sofas and beds, and beautiful newly replaced rose windows.

The sun shines through the gorgeous flower windows, laying a colorful halo on the thick wool carpet.

Little Chu Mingyuan was happy, because he hated the conference hall and the cold and spacious dragon chair.

He knelt down, stretched out his small hand to touch the halo, and muttered softly: "Damn it!"

"Your Highness, who do you hate?" An old voice sounded from beside my ear.

Little Chu Mingyuan was startled, and looked up to see the teacher Ji Lin standing under the rose window.

"solitary……"

Ji Lin, a bachelor, will never run out of patience with him, but Xiao Chuming is far from afraid of him.

The light yellow halo shone on the wrinkled face of the Grand Scholar, and even the furrows were completely visible. Ji Lin said: "The late emperor's ministers will assist you to teach you, and at the same time check and balance the Marquis of Nolan until you can take charge of the government smoothly. Please, my little highness." Don't worry, the late emperor has kindness to his ministers, and I will never hesitate to die, and devote all my life's learning to repay the divine grace."

The old pedant always speaks in a polite manner, and Xiao Chu Mingyuan struggled to listen, but he still tried his best to nod, pretending to be mature, and said: "I know."

Ji Lin showed a gratified smile.After a while, he asked again: "Who did you say you hated just now?"

Little Chu Mingyuan stared at him in a daze.

Ji Lin carried a malicious temptation: "As long as it is something you don't like, I will find a way to make him disappear before your eyes."

Chu Mingyuan, who was floating in his dream, frowned.

Ji Lin would never say such a thing.

The old man is honest and fair, because he is pedantic and rigid and doesn't know how to be flexible, and he is aloof and can't tolerate the slightest bit of gravel in his eyes. The first emperor would choose to let him check and balance Shihan when he was making two-handed preparations.

For someone else, according to Marquis Nolan's method, he has already been wooed and subdued.

This is a dream, Chu Mingyuan told himself.

But little Chu Mingyuan in the dream was seriously thinking about this problem.

—Who does he hate?

After a while, Xiao Chu Mingyuan raised his head and said firmly, "I hate Shihan."

Ji Lin asked: "Is it true? Do you really hate him?"

"Hmm..." Xiao Chu Mingyuan lowered his eyelashes, and began to tug at the lotus leaf on the hem of his clothes.

Ji Lin said solemnly: "You are not joking, any of your wishes will be fulfilled by someone going through fire and water, even if you want the regent to die—"

Little Chu Mingyuan raised his head in horror, and blurted out: "No!"

Ji Lin's expression remained motionless: "Have you thought about it yet?"

Xiao Chu Mingyuan shook his head violently: "I don't want him to die."

"...It's not that I hate him..."

But when he finished speaking, Ji Lin in the palace had disappeared.

"?!"

Little Chu Mingyuan panicked at that moment.

He didn't know what consequences what he said would bring, so he rushed out of the cozy bedroom!

The palace people who had just had a shift break in the corridor were stunned——

"Your Majesty?"

"Where are you going?!"

"Go and inform the regent! Your Highness, watch your step, hey, don't run so fast!"

Little Chu Mingyuan just took off his heavy crown and royal robe, only wearing a silk shirt with ruffles, knee socks wrapped in small military boots, he ran fast on the green grass in the palace garden, far away the palace people leave behind.

The wind in his ear also mixed with the word Regent, and the more he panicked, the more angry he became.

Little Chu Mingyuan's heart was pounding.

He wants to find Ji Lin.

Suddenly, he was hugged from behind, his feet were suspended in the air, and Xiao Chuming was even more furious:

"Go away, you group of... rebellious officials and thieves!"

He struggled desperately with his hands and feet, kicking and kicking the palace lady who was trying to carry him away.

"I don't want you guys, go away! Traitors!"

Seeing that struggling was useless, he opened his mouth and bit it hard!

"what!"

The palace man let go of his hand in fright, Chu Mingyuan rushed out like a small whirlwind as soon as he landed.

The little emperor remembered many shortcuts and secret passages in the palace, which disappeared under their noses in the blink of an eye.

The palace people turned pale with fright, and hurriedly went to find the guards. Everyone was thrown off their feet by the sudden chaos.

Panting little Chu Mingyuan came out from the secret door at the base of a fountain, with a hint of pride in his heart - he finally got rid of those annoying people.

As soon as his eyes adjusted to the strong light, Xiao Chu Mingyuan was dumbfounded: the sun was shining outside, the spring water was clear, and the grass was green. He was still in the palace, but he didn't know where it was.

——Thanks to the gift of the regent, the little emperor spends a lot of time every day listening to government affairs, even visiting his own home.

On the lawn, middle-aged men in gorgeous purple robes had dinner together, bursting into loud laughter from time to time.

This is rare in the palace with many taboos.

Chu Mingyuan knew that the purple robe was a symbol of noble status, and these people were all his subjects, so he immediately held his breath and put on a solemn look again.

The other party soon found him.

Someone on the lawn pointed at Chu Mingyuan and shouted, "Look! The little angel sculpture on the fountain has become a spirit!"

Before the words fell, the group of people burst into harsh laughter again.

Little Chu Mingyuan didn't know what they were laughing at. No one would do that in front of him.But they bothered him, so he frowned and said, "Shut up, do you know who Gu is?"

Looking at Sri Lanka and even the entire Noah Empire, only one person can call himself "Orphan".

The other party was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Stop pretending to be fools with us, if Shi Han dares to throw the little emperor to the outer court, old man Ji will definitely take his skin off!"

Xiao Chu Mingyuan became nervous when he heard it: "What about others?"

The other party asked back with a hippie smile: "Who are you asking?"

Chu Mingyuan, who was floating in the void and watched coldly, moved his lips: "Don't go..."

However, Xiao Chu Mingyuan said stubbornly: "Where is the regent?"

The other party found it even more interesting: "Didn't you call yourself 'Gu'? We all call him by his first name, why do you still call him the Regent?"

Xiao Chuming stared at him in disbelief: "Gu Zhen——"

"Well," the opponent interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and said with a playful smile, "I know where he is, and I can call him over for you—unless you climb up to that fountain and stand with that little angel statue ,let me see."

The crowd in purple robes who watched burst into unexplained laughter again.

"You don't dare, do you?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Chu Mingyuan said softly: "Don't go..."

However, the child in the dream couldn't hear him, so little Chu Mingyuan glared at these presumptuous men, turned around and really climbed up the pure white marble fountain platform.

Later, amidst the distorted exclamation not far away, he felt that the whole world had disappeared.

Chu Mingyuan fell from the height of the fountain, surrounded by biting cold, and sank into a cold darkness.

**

"Little Highness, Little Highness!"

After the dragon rider guarding the door received the information, he had no choice but to wake up his master who had just fallen asleep: "Your Highness, my subordinates have urgent military reports."

Chu Mingyuan opened his eyes suddenly, without a trace of sleepiness in his eyes.

Most of the lords of the wandering galaxies are elderly star thieves who came ashore in vain, led their men to rob the star field, and then promulgated their own "laws" in the territory to implement the rule.

Commonly known as astrology is king.

The star robbers who have been laundered and landed are usually unwilling to run around and rob. To a certain extent, the situation in the wandering star belt can be stabilized, so the empire will not intervene. When the star robbers compete with each other for the disputed star field, they will occasionally show up. Recognize the "regime" of a party.

Commonly known as arch fire.

For thousands of years, the empire and the border forces have reached a delicate balance, but the decent nobles disdain to be with the lords of the Wandering Star Belt.

This is the same reason that the regular army does not associate with bandits.

After listening to the dragon rider's report, the little emperor's black pupils like black ink reflected the lights, and said with a sneer, "They really gave up on Marlborough!"

The news about the dinner at the Nolan Villa spread to the Murles galaxy, and it has turned into a grand banquet specially prepared by the little emperor for his cousin, causing panic among the nobles of Murles.

In the beginning, they quickly destroyed the evidence that could be destroyed, but those transaction records were too large to be destroyed, so they found a scapegoat as quickly as possible, and waited for the investigation of "Imperial Envoy" Jiang Chengzhou.

Many nobles even prepared precious gifts, ready to curry favor with the celebrity in front of the little emperor.

However, Jiang Chengzhou's ambitions are not just rare treasures.

He came not only to investigate the Murles galaxy, but also to inspect his future leader:

There are more than 800 space military fortresses in the Murles galaxy, and the star field bordering the Wandering Star Belt is more than 7000 miles long. It is also the necessary star field for the trade between Sri Lanka and the orcs. It is huge for Jiang Chengzhou Challenges and opportunities, he is bound to win.

Seeing that the way of giving gifts would not work, some people even bought dragon slaves through black market channels and dedicated them to this single and lonely "imperial envoy" as playthings.

One can imagine what will happen to the person who gave the gift.

Not only did bribery have no effect, but Jiang Chengzhou even instigated some nobles and military officers with lesser crimes. The more life and death are at stake, the more important it is to stand in line. Someone who knows the current affairs can figure out the reason.

Jiang Chengzhou's way is also very wild. He successfully obtained the evidence and submitted it to the palace. Chu Mingyuan ordered someone to recite it in the court. The outrageous degree far exceeded expectations——

The hallucinogens that the Noah Empire explicitly prohibited trading, the nobles of Murles handed over to the star thief lord to do it, and everyone shared the money earned.

What's more, privately selling slaves is not enough, and the slaves are also sent to the orc dwelling star for "breeding". According to the requirements of the gold master, various mixed-race slaves can be allocated for long-term training|training and play.

It's no wonder that star robbers are becoming less and less willing to burn money now. Making a deal with a nobleman is like paying a protection fee.

Chu Mingyuan was furious and ordered Marlborough to be deprived of his title and then executed immediately. However, all forces were trying to dissuade the little emperor from killing his cousin, including the royalists headed by Ji Lin.

The royalist party not only protects the "Chu family", but also protects all heirs in line.Because Chu Mingyuan has no offspring, at least not in the next ten years.

Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, and cut off the heads of a few nobles, Sri Lanka will even face the crisis of changing hands in the future.

Chu Mingyuan couldn't handle so many old officials by himself, so he threw the matter of being a bad guy to Jiang Chengzhou.

It's no wonder that Chu Mingyuan loves his valet so much, Jiang Chengzhou can indeed help the little emperor solve many problems that cannot be solved by formal means.

Finally, after discovering that it was impossible to win over Chief Guard Jiang, some nobles decided to secretly eradicate him.

But they still underestimated this young man too much.After wandering abroad for many years, what Jiang Chengzhou is best at is eating black and white.

Hitting the wall everywhere made the nobles anxious, and they finally waited for the only chance-Jiang Chengzhou secretly went to the Giant Whale Galaxy.

Instead of sitting still and waiting for the royal family to disintegrate the power of the Murles aristocratic group little by little, it is better to show the courage of a strong man to cut his wrists and declare independence directly!

This stunned the interstellar people—a peaceful small galaxy like Sri Lanka can be said to be the champion of negative news this year.

Chu Mingyuan's age was once again brought up for discussion, and many people in other galaxies said that if it happened in their own galaxies, it would be difficult for them to trust a lord of this age to become a ruler.

So someone made a suggestion: Sri Lanka needs a new regent.

When Chu Mingyuan was in a state of desperation, the court ministers were still chattering, never forgetting to criticize their political opponents——

"Your Highness, after all, the old aristocrats have been the mainstay of our Sri Lanka for many years. There is an old saying that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Guard Jiang's actions offend both the aristocrats and the royal family,"

"The best way to deal with the Star Thieves is to stay on the front line. Unless they are recovered together with the wandering Star Belt, the Star Thief will be forced to come back out of the rivers and lakes and become a wandering bandit who robs everywhere. In the end, it will be ordinary people who will suffer!"

Chu Mingyuan sneered: "The residents of the Wandering Star Belt used to be Sri Lankan people, why are they included in the rule of the Star Bandits?"

"It's all bad debts hundreds of years ago, besides, if you say that, aren't you questioning the decisions of the late emperors..."

"...Your Highness is still young and vigorous..."

"Yeah yeah……"

Chu Mingyuan simply shut his mouth, his face became more and more cold.

In this way, everyone felt that he was throwing a child's temper.

The Murles galaxy is rich in products and is one of the main taxing galaxies in the No.16 area-crops and electronic textile manufacturing products are also commodities exported to orc-inhabited planets.

Back then, in order to appease the Marlborough family, Shihan did not choose the "cake" of moving star robbers, but opened up a larger market, maintaining a relationship with the wandering star belt, and allowing interstellar merchant ships to safely Go through the meteorite layer of the Frontier Fortress.

But there are hidden dangers in doing so. When the Marquis was here, these people were honest and honest. Once Shi Han died, within half a year, troubles would spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Jiang Chengzhou was still conducting diplomatic mediation with the third galaxy, and Chu Mingyuan couldn't even find the trusted generals to counter the rebellion for a while.

Sri Lanka's garrison in Murles responded passively and suffered several defeats on the first day in order to force Chu Mingyuan to change his decision.

The little emperor lost his temper several times in the conference hall, and even asked to go into battle in person—in return, the courtiers fell to their knees in front of the hall.

The cabinet ministers even began to "admonish each other with death" with their noses and tears, as if they were looking for the late emperor to judge the reason together on Huangquan Road.

Since the Zerg War, anti-war voices from the DPRK and China have become the mainstream.In the eyes of the courtiers, this matter was caused by Jiang Chengzhou's eagerness for quick success and improper handling. Sri Lanka had better not fight it, and try to limit the nature of the whole incident to the category of "internal conflicts" to avoid further attracting the attention of the empire.

For the rebel leader Sean Marlborough, the sentence Chu Mingyuan heard the most was: "After all, he is your cousin..."

Chu Mingyuan was so angry that he turned the table over: "Gu now knows why the late emperors were short-lived, and you are all angry!"

The ministers shouted: "The humble ministers are terrified!"

Sri Lanka is troubled both internally and externally, and the empire is eager to appoint a "counselor" to him. To put it bluntly, he is the regent, and the Murles galaxy is pressing harder and harder. It expanded even more, and even reached out to other small galaxies in District [-]!

The ministers of the DPRK and China are still speaking face to face in front of the palace, asking the royal family to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

The little emperor immediately flew into a rage, and directly asked the dragon rider to drag him out and kill him.

The dragon rider complied, and Chu Mingyuan's reputation as a "little tyrant" spread like wildfire.

At this moment, Chu Mingyuan didn't care about his reputation. He was in urgent need of a subordinate like Jiang Chengzhou who could take orders from him... at least stand on the same front.

To be able to fight, it is best to have a handle in your own hands, and you will never take the military power and turn around and rebel.

Those who meet these conditions...

He finally remembered someone.

"Let Mu Han come to see Gu."

The current vice-captain of Dragonrider is Mie, and his ancestors are the emperor's personal soldiers, who are ordered to protect the safety of the lord.When he heard it for the first time, he was still a little uncertain: "That Dragon Clan? Doesn't Your Highness dislike him?"

Jiang Chengzhou became bald more than once to gain the favorability of that dragon boy, and all his subordinates knew it.

Because Jiang Chengzhou accepted these new orc citizens without authorization, the little emperor ignored him for a long time.

Later, it was discovered that other galaxies were more passive, so he said awkwardly: "I don't like the name Mu Han, let him change it!"

Jiang Chengzhou managed to get acquainted, and of course he didn't want to provoke his bad-tempered little fellow right now, so he took advantage of his close servant and persuaded the little emperor to suppress the matter.

It was precisely because this name always reminded the little emperor of someone, and when he was in a helpless situation, Chu Mingyuan finally remembered that there was still such a person who could be used.

Dragons are natural war machines, and the juvenile's physical strength and mecha operation ability are obvious to all. As for the combat command—"I will assign you a command alone, don't think he can be of any use."

The teenager in the [-]D video was lost in thought.

The galaxies are far away, and Shihan is still on a long interstellar voyage, and he doesn't know about the Sri Lankan rebellion, so he's not surprised if he knows—what scene hasn't he seen?

He was just a little surprised, why did the little emperor think that he would be loyal to Sri Lanka?

Seeing that he was silent, Chu Mingyuan said impatiently: "Now tell me, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

The distribution map of Murles' star field is displayed horizontally between the two, and the four-dimensional life-size projection seems to make them appear in the same space.

On the little emperor's pale and immature face, the two dark circles were particularly obvious, and his expression was very serious.

Shi Han suddenly had an urge to go forward and rub his head, but fortunately he held back in the end.

He reached out to flick the star map, and pointed at a border fort with his slender fingertips, "Let's start here."

Chu Mingyuan's eyes lit up.

The young man expressed his thoughts directly——as much as possible in a way that the little emperor could understand.

In Shi Han's impression, Chu Mingyuan actually knew nothing about fighting.

In the past, he didn't force Chu Mingyuan to learn these things: beating, killing, and killing have a bad psychological impact on children.

However, when the responsibility really falls in front of them, no one cares how old the person on the dragon chair is, they only hope that he can shoulder the responsibility of the ruler, just like if Sean Marlborough's butcher knife really falls, it will not be because of Chu Mingyuan let him go when he was only eight years old.

Everyone knows the truth of cutting grass and roots.

"The trajectory of the TB-9567 star in the Murles galaxy is backed by the wandering star belt. There are countless cosmic fragments floating near the wandering star belt. It is a natural barrier for the space strategic space station..."

"There are a large number of troops stationed on the main star of Murles, and the Marlboro family will inevitably hide on the safest planet when they transfer their property, and they must always beware of star thieves going back on their word."

"Currently, the Star Bandits are targeting the 'Independence Army' of Murles, and they have helped to cover them. Otherwise, the regular army would not have lost seven battles in a row just based on these crooked melons."

The little emperor said with a sullen face: "It is these natural barriers that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, which prevent our warships from approaching."

"But they will lose sight of the other," the young man said with a smile, "while rebelling against independence and transferring property at the same time, how could they take all the good things in the world."

His tone was full of familiar sarcasm, but Chu Mingyuan was so immersed in the tactical layout that he didn't react for a while.

Chu Mingyuan asked vigilantly, "How much armament do you need?"

Shi Han hugged his chest with one hand and touched his chin with the other. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Five thousand elite soldiers are enough, I want dragon riders."

He wanted to be justified, and his eyes were filled with the light of what he must win, and the deputy Mie next to him was stunned.

"Five thousand dragonriders?"

Deputy Mi said: "It's good that dragonriders belong to special forces, but the opponent is the galaxy army!"

"A group of crooked melons who abuse psychedelic drugs." Shi Han nodded arrogantly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Dragon Knights are the most elite mech soldiers. Do you need Jiang Chengzhou's consent to send troops?"

"No need," the little emperor's face sank like water: "Dragonriders are Gu's personal soldiers, and Gu has absolute deployment rights."

The war in Mulles was tight, and the leader of the rebel army might transfer property at any time and then lead the star robbers straight in.Without further ado, Chu Mingyuan immediately ordered:

"Pass the order of Gu, order the seventh, ninth, and No.12 mecha teams of the Dragon Rider Legion to reorganize immediately and prepare for battle!"

Mi's deputy stood up straight with a "snap", gave a military salute, and said, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Chu Mingyuan's decisiveness is quite true to Nolan's Marquis, thinking that wind is rain.The military order was passed on quickly, and the old officials who were kneeling outside the hall to die did not know what decision their young master had made.

After Deputy Mie withdrew from the four-dimensional projection, the little emperor turned his face again, and said the doubt that Shi Han had been haunting since just now:

"As a guarantee of your loyalty, the Guhui will let people take Nan Ruoyu into the palace, and we will reunite after your triumphant return."
