Chapter 18 [Pre-nuclear era]

Star Empire Era 217.

Imperial Capital.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, good news. The Imperial Palace Engineering Institute successfully detonated an atomic bomb in the Tabot Desert in the Western Desert. The Imperial atomic bomb experiment was successful."

The secretary-general hurriedly ran in from outside the imperial study, with excitement on his face.

The atomic bomb is a great technology, and it also means that the Star Empire has officially entered the era of possessing nuclear weapons.

"I understand."

Regarding this, Yang Yu's expression was not as excited as the secretary-general's.

He had received it in advance, and the imperial atomic bomb was successfully detonated in Tarbert, a land with hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of desert.

"Take it."

He pointed to what was written in front of him.

“The Empire’s first atomic bomb was named pistachio?”

Seeing the contents of the document, the secretary-general was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I'll ask the Empire Daily News to send it out right away."

"Go for it!"

It is a very great thing for the empire to move towards the nuclear era.

Nuclear and non-nuclear have different meanings.

Although there is only one civilization on the Origin Planet, the Star Empire, nuclear bombs are of great significance.

The day after the atomic bomb was developed.

The cabinet ministers hurried to the imperial study room.

"Your Majesty, I do not recommend the construction of such a large-scale weapon of destruction. What is this thing being developed for?"

"I don't recommend the construction of this kind of atomic bomb. The origin star is our Star Empire. Is it possible to build nuclear weapons to hit ourselves and throw them into our own cities in the empire?"

"I firmly oppose such weapons, and please your Majesty to withdraw..."

Listening to the garbled words of the cabinet ministers, Yang Yu's face, which was still a little happy because of the appearance of the atomic bomb, gradually became filled with dark clouds.

"Has the birth of the atomic bomb harmed the interests of all of you dear friends?"

"Since it has harmed the interests of all my dear friends, please go home and rest!"

Today's cabinet is really worse than the last. They only think about their own interests all day long and completely forget about the interests of the empire and what changes it will bring to the empire.

As soon as the emperor said this, all the ministers looked at each other with obvious hesitation.

They thought the emperor would compromise this time, but they never thought that the emperor would dismiss them directly.

Taking a break actually means asking them to get out and make way for the newcomers.

"Your Majesty, I can still serve the empire..."

The finance minister just wanted to express his loyalty, but Yang Yu interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Wei Aiqing has two sons and one daughter at home. The eldest son is in business. He often uses Wei Aiqing's name to borrow money from the Imperial Bank. When he repays it, he defaults on the loan from the Imperial Bank. He also takes advantage of Wei Aiqing's power to forcefully suppress commercial companies at low prices.

He also used threats against other people’s families.”

"The second son seems to be polite and responsible, but he also provides advice to your eldest son."

"My little daughter is arrogant and domineering. She gets into fights, privately modifies cars, and races in the southeast of the imperial capital in the middle of the night. Racing is a trivial matter. What is there in the southeast, do you need me to tell you?"

"boom."

His big cold hand slammed on the table, causing the table to tremble violently, and he looked at everyone present with his cold eyes.

"I delegate power to you, and this is how you repay me? Look at your previous cabinet ministers, and then look at you?"

"Is it really true that I haven't left this imperial palace for more than twenty years, so you can cover up the sky with one hand? I haven't killed anyone for decades, so you can ignore the laws of the empire?"

"The grandson of King Zhennan, my nephew, died on the way to serve the empire's justice. Do you look at the current Minister of Justice?"

"Shenji Guards, check it out for me. Anyone who violates the laws of the empire will be killed without mercy. If he is an imperial minister, his crime will be increased."

"Immediately send me an order for the armies of the Eastern Barren, Southern Barbarians, Western Desert and Beiming to directly enter the city and control all the cities. Anyone who violates the laws of the empire in any continent, whether they are merchants or imperial ministers, will be captured. Anyone who dares to resist will be captured.

, kill them on the spot."

"I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. Especially those with very famous names in the city, let me investigate them to death, and let me investigate all eighteen generations of their ancestors."

"It's really outrageous."

Yang Yu's face turned pale and he said in a deep voice.

As for the ministers here, beads of sweat were dripping from their foreheads, they seemed to think that the emperor was too simple.

"Why don't you speak? What, you want to be a bamboo leaf green?"

Then, Yang Yu's eyes fell on the prime minister who had never spoken a word after entering the imperial study. The coldness in his eyes could almost solidify.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of my crime and I beg your Majesty to spare my family for the ten years I have worked so hard for the empire."

Although the Prime Minister did not know who Zhu Yeqing was, he quickly fell to the ground, his heart filled with fear.

The emperor has not left the imperial palace for more than twenty years.

Unexpectedly, the control of the empire is still so terrifying.

"How should I call you? Should I call you Qi Aiqing, or should I call you Murong Aiqing?"

Yang Yu stood up from his seat, walked to the old man who was over fifty years old, and said:

"It has been more than two hundred years since the Beichuan Empire fell. I did not exterminate all the Murong royal family members of your Beichuan Empire who were honest and responsible. Even after knowing your identity, I ignored the past grudges and used you to make you the prime minister of the empire. Why?

Are you still thinking of overthrowing our Star Empire? Reaching out to my Star Empire’s army in Beiming?”

"What?"

After hearing this, the ministers who were trembling with fear looked at the Prime Minister of the Empire in disbelief after hearing the emperor's words.

Is this a royal descendant of the Beichuan Empire?

The finance minister, who was on good terms with him, quickly stayed away from the prime minister.

Damn it, you are actually a descendant of the Murong family.

You deserve to be damned if you still think about subverting the rule of the empire.

If the emperor comes to implicate the ten clans, won't he bring disaster to Chi Yu?

"Your Majesty, I don't want to, I don't dare, but I..."

The prime minister's expression was complicated. He was shouldering his own mission. Although the empire treated him well and he recognized the empire's rule and worked hard for the empire, he could not forget his own identity.

"Don't you dare? Is there anything you, Murong Aiqing, don't dare to do? The boy who controls one of my divisions in Beiming belongs to your Murong family, right?"

"What's going on, you want to control one of my divisions to fight against my million-strong army in Beiming? Isn't it too naive?"

Originally, Yang Yu didn't want to go on a killing spree, but these guys went too far.

He turned a blind eye to corruption and perversion of the law, which did not damage the essential interests of the empire and endanger the lives of the people of the empire. But you just hit my gun. If you don't die, who will die?

"I never dare to..."

"I don't want to hear you say you don't dare here, or I am too kind to you remnants of the empire, so I will kill you."

"Invite the two great families of Long and Bai to come to my imperial study."

The words fell.

The Imperial Guardsmen quickly rushed into the imperial study and forcibly took the imperial cabinet ministers into custody.

The secretary-general hurriedly went down to inform the heads of the two major families in the empire.

This is a truly old family in the empire. When the Star Kingdom was first established, it was an old family that followed the Star Kingdom to conquer the world. It is a family that unconditionally supports the royal family.

Since the empire unified the world, the allegiances of the two major families have directly changed from the royal family to the emperor.

Two hundred years ago.

Long Qi, the general who suppressed the Southern Barbarians, came from the Long family.

Bailu, the general who suppressed the Western Desert, was from the Bai family.

"Hey, I hope your descendants can produce a few more children who will carry the banner of the empire for me!"

…

South of the Imperial Capital City.

In a courtyard covering an area of ​​approximately 1.2 square kilometers.

An old man with gray hair and lively eyes was playing Go with a child.

Seeing that he was surrounded by his eldest grandson, he was so overwhelmed that he lost a piece and turned against the wind.

"Xiao Qi, do you know where you lost?"
