The emperor seemed to realize that he was playing a dangerous game.

In May, the government surprisingly implemented a series of reform measures.

Because the government used the people’s money before, and then ran the money printing machine to print a large number of money, which caused inflation, prices rose rapidly, currency lost its most basic function, and credit was facing collapse. Income and prices.

However, for the business community, the government has no credibility at all. After they get the new currency, they will do everything possible to spend it, privately convert it into gold, silver, ores or necessities of life, as if they believe in everything but the government. Officially issued new currency.

The currency reform was progressing arduously, and ultimately ended in failure.

In politics, the emperor began to listen to more opinions.

He formed the House of Commons, which reporters called the "Common People's Court," and the residents of each star field directly elected representatives to express their opinions.

The people of the empire were very new to this system, and for a time the enthusiasm of the people to participate in politics rose.

It seems that things are slowly developing in a good direction.

Wu Qiao continued his miraculous record.

The record of complete wins has reached 39 games.

He was extremely brave in battle, but he was not brave enough to grasp the situation correctly, and he didn't get muddled in making decisions.

The army deliberately made him a new idol, so after a certain time the chief was seriously injured and Wu Qiao successfully led the troops to evacuate, his military rank changed again-he became the youngest person in the history of the empire to become a lieutenant general .

Wu Qiao replaced the seriously injured and retired officer and directly reported to the four-star Admiral Dai Lun. His troops include tens of thousands of warships and tens of thousands of mechas. When he strode to the bridge, everyone must salute him. He became more and more natural in front of the screen, and his appearance on the battlefield became more and more domineering. Even people who thought he was still immature at first had to admit this. Young people have indeed begun to take on the demeanor of kings.

The military wanted to ration Wu Qiao's new mecha. After Wu Qiao studied, he declined this kindness. He felt that Ya Jiu had a better understanding with him.

Obviously, he, Tan Yan, Ya Jiu, and Long Yuan, witnessed the victory of the war together.

Although... the other two, Tan Yan and Long Yuan, he hadn't seen them for a long time.

Before, Tan Yantuo brought him a very strange pillow.

When Wu Qiao lay on it for the first time, a red heart suddenly appeared on the white pillow. Although the area was not large, Wu Qiao was shocked.

What was even more frightening was that after a short while, another red heart appeared on the other half of the pillow, and the two were still close to each other!

"What the hell..." Wu Qiao immediately dialed Wu Qiao's communication equipment.

Wu Qiao pointed the communication device at the pillow, and after Tan Yan successfully connected, he only saw a white flower.

"What's this stuff?!" Wu Qiao pointed to the pillow, "Tan Yan, please make it clear!"

"..." Tan Yan asked, "Don't you like it?"

"...I didn't say I didn't like it." Wu Qiao's momentum was immediately weakened.

How can you say you don’t like what the other party gave?

"I think it's quite interesting." Tan Yan said, "Your pillow and mine are a pair. When you lie on your pillow, the picture of your half will appear, and when I lie down When it’s on my pillow, the half of my picture will appear. We can only assemble a complete pattern when we sleep at the same time. This is what I bought in the market after the Imperial Army regained the Strawberry Star. The little seller. The girl said, in this way, lovers who are tens of thousands of light years apart will be in the same dream."

"You..." Wu Qiao thought: You are so naive.

The little girl who sells this thing, do you know who she deceived?

Why is Tan Yan so easily deceived?

He was very alert when he was a commander.

Over there, Tan Yan said again: "This pillow seems to be able to measure your heartbeat. When you lie on your side, it can directly transmit the other person's heartbeat to you."

"..."

"Oh, it's okay to talk to each other, you can even hear the snoring."

"..."

"You will know that the other party is there."

"..."

"I don't think over and over in bed, whether he is asleep, what is he doing, should I call him for communication, probably don't call him when he is asleep, and I don't know when he will wake up tomorrow morning..."

"..." Wu Qiao sighed, "Then don't have too weird dreams."

"Ok?"

"What if I can really be in the same dream."

...

——While looking forward to meeting, Wu Qiao is also waiting for the results of the government reform.

However, unexpectedly, at this time when the situation seems to be getting better, the anti-government forces in various places have grown stronger.

Many people opposed the imperial monarchy even more fiercely.

This sounds a little strange.

In textbooks, when talking about the causes of revolutions, they always say that the people are oppressed and that the people are unhappy and rise up to resist. But in fact, if you take a closer look, a government rarely collapses when it is the most mediocre, but when it is the most dangerous. It was when it began to reform. Revolutions do not often break out in the most oppressed places. Anyway, the people have nothing and their children and grandchildren will have nothing. However, when people see the hope of freedom, they will uncontrollably want more.

The empire has been divided into several distinct factions.

Wu Qiao never wondered what connection this matter would have with him, until one day and Tian Jiyao asked him what he planned to do.

"What do you mean?"

"Are you going to survive and die with the empire?"

"What do you mean?"

"Layla's organization is developing well now."

"..."

"Business people welcome them, but they haven't supported them positively."

"..."

"Because they are now facing a problem, that is, they lack a person who can answer every word."

"You still know a lot."

"Just guess it." Ji Yao responded briefly, "Now the war is different from before. It is no longer an era where you can seize power with a knife and gun. You need to carefully choose who leads the troops."

"Ji Yao," Wu Qiao stared at Ji Yao and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ji Yao directly threw a question: "Have you ever thought about which side you want to stand on?"

"..."

"I always think they will come to you sooner or later, to find you to lead them to war." Ji Yao said indifferently over there, "because you used to let Layla go."

"Isn't it your fault?" With that incident, it was reasonable to be thought that he was supporting or sympathizing with the Revolutionaries.

This time, Ji Yao did not deny it, but continued: "Now you are an empire idol. You have won many battles and you can definitely change a lot if you are willing to turn to war. How to say, in terms of influence and ability, few people compare You are taller, plus the people you saved them, it's normal to want to get you into the gang."

"..."

"At that time, it is very likely...the business community will formally unite with them. Don't think they never take the initiative to take the initiative, but they always choose to form an alliance with the strong. This is also called adapting to the times."

"..."

"They will definitely help each other, because they can't look back anymore."

"You don't need to say any more." Wu Qiao interrupted him.

"I just think you should think about what is very likely to happen. The two sides will eventually fight. Do you want to protect the emperor or rebuild the country?"

"..."

"In my eyes, you are needed over there."

"Nothing to think about." Wu Qiao didn't want to talk about this topic, "I haven't thought about it, and I won't think about it."

"……Ok?"

"Because I can't think about it."

"..."

"Admiral Tan Yan is fighting the Republic. He must not leave. He will collapse if he leaves. So how can I... be an enemy of the army."

Ji Yao: "..."

"Admiral Sean is dead... After Admiral Sean's death, the situation immediately became bad, and it has not recovered until now. The other pillar is Admiral Tan Yan. If Tan Yan suddenly escapes, he will be replaced temporarily. Can an...can the army really stand it? It really won't be attacked by the enemy?"

Wu Qiao knew that Tan Yan could only choose the army and the current government.

It is impossible for a weak revolutionary army to fight on two fronts and must concentrate on attacking the imperial power. Only the emperor, under normal circumstances, even if he is incompetent, will never give up welcoming the enemy to calm the country and hand over the country to an invader for nothing.

"So..." Ji Yao confirmed it again, "Are you going to be the king?"

"..."

"Is it really okay?" Ji Yao asked again, "Is it really okay to let the empire go on like this?"

"I'm expecting... better and better."

"What if it gets worse?"

"..."

"Or the royalist?"

"..."

"Wu Qiao," said Ji Yao, "I know you very well. You have been yelling since you were about ten years old. You dream of benefiting all mankind. When there is a real opportunity, you will stop all of this? Turn into a reverse driving wheel. People? Everything you learned in the past exists for this?"

"Otherwise, what should I do?!" Wu Qiao's voice suddenly increased uncontrollably, "You tell me what should I do? One day when I met Tan Yan Bingrong, I stepped on his body? Use my favorite People’s blood paved the way for the Republic?! Would you do this instead of you?!"

"...I'm sorry." Ji Yao didn't seem to think that Wu Qiao would react like this. "...It turns out that you two have such a deep relationship."

"I just want to say sorry to you." Wu Qiao turned and turned his back to Ji Yao, "Sorry, Ji Yao, Su Yiqing's "last wish", I am afraid I can't complete it. He wants to help me become a man on the top. But maybe I can only fall halfway."

After a pause, Wu Qiao said: "Leave it to others to change the world."

When he said this, Wu Qiao suddenly realized that although he himself always said innocent things to change the world, in the end, he was nothing more than an ordinary person controlled by his seven emotions and six desires.

He has lost too much, and he doesn't want to lose even Tan Yan.
