Chapter 355 Letter from a Friend
All kinds of emergency distress signals are stirring on the psionic network in the Milky Way. One after another, top-secret letters written with special seals and seals and circuit boards storing encrypted emails are running between the planets with the hands of ships and secret staff. Those top-secret ones that have never been said. The words whispered between the lips and ears.
The rebellion has been confirmed to have occurred, and there is also this trend of expansion. All kinds of horrible rumors, like wildfires on the autumn grassland, spread in the hearts of imperial citizens. Here, loyalty is used as fuel, while doubts and suspicions rise in people's hearts with black smoke, with rumors The bad wind was blown away to all parts of the Far East. At this time, even the Presbyterians of the Command and Star Wars understand the urgency of gaffe. In the Far East, no one can easily stand aside and watch jokes.
It is not because of the large-scale rebellion that frightened these high-ranking figures. Thirteen worlds raised the flag of rebellion at the same time, which is nothing for these adults. The empire has a huge territory in the galaxy. The empire has conquered countless planets and looked up at the starry sky. Every moment of the twinkling stars is the property of the empire. The thirteen worlds are just a drop in the ocean for an empire with the Milky Way as its territory. A rebellion of such a scale is not a real threat at all.
And at present, there is no military force in these thirteen worlds to threaten other galaxies for the time being. It is not that these worlds lack military capabilities, but for the huge galaxy, cross-galactic warfare itself is not a simple thing. The rebels may be able to master several ships that can sail across galaxies. But it will never be too much. As long as the imperial navy remains in the hands of the empire and maintains their loyalty to the emperor, then the empire can ensure that the rebellion only happens within a small scale.
What really worries them is those who have started a rebellion. The officials of the court already have a high authority. If these people want to use their authority to attract a group of people, it is really a simple thing. Every judge has a huge and complex network, needless to say those who have The high-ranking presiding judge, these people can now make thirteen worlds betray empires in a period of time, so as long as they are given more time, they may not be able to set off a greater storm.
Moreover, the people who have mastered a lot of inside stories in the court, I'm afraid that only the sacred emperor knows these unspeakable secrets.
This is not the only thing that bothers the people above. These thirteen worlds have clearly expressed their will. They will no longer continue to want the empire to pay taxes, and at the same time, they will no longer accept the rule of the rotten regime of the current empire, and propose that as long as the imperial government accepts a series of reform measures, and for The power of the trial court is limited to ensure that they will not retaliate against the rebels, and then they will return to the arms of the empire. Such a set of statements is very influential to the lower people, and the result has been widely recognized in many worlds.
This is not a strange statement. Every traitor can find more better speech than these, but this time the rebels are a little different, that is, they say that they are not betraying the empire, but against the current government. These traitors The rioters claim that they are still loyal to the Holy Emperor. They want everyone to preach a terrible idea that the divine emperor represents the empire, and the two are separated from the current regime, and they are not one.
For the rulers, this is an extremely terrible idea. Whether it is the high-level officials in the Far East or the old men in the solar system, they don't want to hear such heinous remarks circulating in the country.
But things have happened, and there is a trend of expansion. This time, the traitors are all elites trained by the empire. They naturally understand that the empire is strong and cannot fight against the empire by relying on the current force alone. But they are also very clear about the process of dealing with rebellion, perhaps more familiar with the people who take over them, so they are very clear about the weaknesses of the empire. For those who really rebel, the star area of the Far East is originally a weak area of imperial rule, and they are extremely familiar with this huge star area. The rule of the empire is so weak that no one knows how many consuls of the empire have made secret contracts before clearly expressing betrayal. Now, these people have become enemies of the empire, and this is only the beginning.
The flames of the rebellion have been burned, and the wise man has been able to predict the worst future and feel afraid of it.
They must be afraid, because the huge empire is united because of its powerful deterrent. If you want to talk about the imperial system, then within the star region of the solar system, the supreme government of the empire can still maintain a powerful voice, and outside this range, the sound will gradually weaken, and in the Far East, it will be weak and almost powerless.
At a long distance, the empire chose a more thorough feudal system. The consuls of the empire can do whatever they want on their own planet, and they can establish any system of society at will, slavery? Feudalism? Whatever, the empire won't care, and it can't control so much.
And there is a disadvantage of such a system, that is, if the central government is strong, then the empire can barely maintain a unified state. Once the central government shows a trace of fatigue and shows the slightest weakness, the whole empire will collapse in the various selfish hearts of the princes.
The flames must be extinguished, all the traitors in the trial court must be killed, and the situation must be controlled to prevent things from getting worse. The rebellion must be completely extinguished quickly, the most severe punishment must be given to the rebels, the tough attitude of the empire must be shown, and those who have ulterior motives must be deterred.
With the harshly worded accountability letters sent from the earth of the solar system, the high-level officials in the Far East had no choice but to go but war.
***
At this time, Li received a letter from a master in the court, which came from Li's acquaintance, Edward. Qinna.
Edward. Qinna is a master in the trial court. In the Far East trial court, "master" is a kind of Edward who lacks practical authority but has a high status. He is called the master. Qinna did not hold certain positions with great power. He just thought that he was a judge. Although his position was not high, he had a high reputation in the Far East Trial Chamber, Edward. Qinna is a good person. He is willing to help anyone in trouble, and his strong spiritual ability keeps most of the staff of the court in awe of him.
Early, in the sixth year of Li's return to the Far East, Li met Edward. Master Qinna, the master who enjoys a very high reputation in the trial court, is actually a master member of the Santees faction, another secret association in the trial court.
Like the Istephanian faction, which is now hit hard, the Sandites faction is also a secret association in the trial court. The secret association of the two also has the same characteristics, that is, its concept is equally dangerous and terrible, and it is opposed by most people.
In fact, in the eyes of most people, the concept of the Santithetic faction is more terrible than that of the Istphania. Those who agree with these two factions and are willing to put it into practice are all madmen among the madmen.The Shantithes faction has been trying to uncover the unknown veil over chaos, and many of them even try to enslave demons. It's not that it doesn't work, but for most people, they walk a little too fast. In the eyes of most people, it's like a genius child making nuclear weapons that can explode at home. No matter what their will is, the process is very dangerous after all, and few people can really succeed. Once they fail, It often causes much more harm than those who thrive in disasters.
Edward. A dangerous good man like Qinna was actually a master-level important figure in the Sántites faction. After he learned that there might be a demon in Li's body, he took the initiative to help Li cover up the situation and used the energy of him and the Shantites faction to help in the court. Help Li and keep him safe away from the sight of the court.
Of course, such help is not free, Edward. Qin Na occasionally took the initiative to follow Li, watching his every move, just like observing experimental animals, carefully observing him and making records.
For Li, such a contribution is negligible.
So Li has been with Edward. Qinna maintains a good relationship. The two occasionally have short exchanges through psionic, some non-** intelligence, and the overall situation in the Far East, Edward. Qin Na will also inform Li through psionic communication in time, which is an excellent source of intelligence for Li.
And about this incident, Li received it from Edward a month ago. Qinna warned that the man in the trial court had known the direction of the matter for a long time, but now he unexpectedly sent a secret letter through an ordinary postman.
What happened again?
Li did not delve into the identity of the postman. He returned to the office and first checked the red seal on the letter paper, which belonged to Edward. Qinna's secret imprint is printed on the special mud with a faint psionic power. This is a simple psionic encryption seal. Any act of opening the letter without knowing a special method will make the letter burn out in an instant.
He chanted a psionic secret language with psionic power in his mouth. At the same time, after sketching a strange symbol with psionic power in his hand, Feng Ni himself made a soft sound, and then broke it open. Then Li opened the envelope and began to read from Edward. Qinna's letter.
Hello, my friend, good day:
I'm sorry to write such a letter to you so presumptuously, but I thought about it carefully for a long time, and I could only find the only answer. At this time, I have no other way. In a desperate situation, I have to ask you to extend your pleading hand and ask for your help.
As you know, the Far East has now fallen into a beacon. Despicable traitors are stirring up trouble in the worlds of the Far East. Some are long-awaited ignorant consuls. Their greed and stupidity have put them on the road of no return; while others are exploited because of the ignorance of their people. Although they are both rebellions, as long as you distinguish them carefully, you can understand the reason for the difference. Although I understand that my words now are tantamount to exoneration for traitors, but to whom can I tell such words besides you and my friends? Allow me to tell you a few words about the rebellion that happened in my hometown, the Iron Islands. If you agree with my idea after reading this letter, then I sincerely implore you to do something for my hometown.
The Iron Islands is a water world. There is only a small lot of land in the whole world. It is more like a large island than a large island. In addition to the large islands, it is a small island all over the world. The continent of the whole world seems to be broken into a piece of small island, and in addition, it is boundless blue. The whole world is a vast ocean except for the islands. This is a water world, and this is also my hometown.
In the past, the Iron Islands were ruled by the Greyjoy family. This is a stupid and savage family. I can say with certainty that no one else living on the Iron Group, except for Greyjoy and the nobles around him, has never been happy. He is cruel. For tens of thousands of years, this family has continued slavery in their world. Ordinary people live like livestock, while Greyjoy enjoys everything he gets.
Countless times, the people wanted to resist Greyjoy's rule, but they all failed in front of Greyjoy's lord's guard. The best weapon of these slaves was just spears. How could they defeat Greyjoy's lord's guard armed to the teeth with flesh and blood?
Many times, I want to use the means to help my miserable hometown get rid of the Greyjoy family. Yes, I have this ability. I am the judge of the court. I have a lot of power. I can easily erase the Greyjoy family, but as you know, my enemies are also numerous, and the trial court is not It is a harmonious family, which is full of malicious eyes. I must be careful, because I am not the only one who belongs to me, but also the judge of the whole empire. I can't affect the empire because of my own personal affairs.
And now, without me, the Greyjoy family has been expelled. The traitors in the trial court helped the poor people in the Iron Islands. They got enough weapons and training, and there were also secret docks and warships. The slaves successfully expelled their masters. The consul of the empire was killed, and the Greyjoy family did not all fall into the rebellion. The heir was waiting for the empire to do justice for him. He could wait, because the pusher behind this rebellion was a traitor in the trial court.
I sympathize with those slaves, because I used to be one of them. Emotionally, I supported this rebellion, because they did what I had always wanted to do, but I couldn't do, and expelled the Greyjoy family. But at the same time, I also know very well that their end will be extremely miserable. When the army arrives with the anger of the Holy Emperor, the traitors will have nowhere to hide, the iron law of the empire will crush all these poor people, and the Greyjoy family will continue their rule.
When writing this letter, I have said to myself countless times that this is the right thing to do. Justice has been done and the authority of the consul is inviolable, but I told me from the bottom of my heart that this is not right. If so, then everything will not change, countless ordinary people who yearn for freedom will die, and slaves will live a more miserable life.
At this time, I think of you, my friend, you are the leader of the powerful Star Wars. You have the bravest warriors in the universe. If you go to the Iron Islands with the will of the empire, then everything will be different. You can complete the tasks entrusted to you by the empire and bring order and the decrees of the empire to the iron. Above the archipelago, let it return to the rule of the empire. Maybe you can do something more to help me and the people on the Iron Islands regain their freedom and help them get rid of the Greyjoy family.
Ps: If you don't hesitate to extend your friendly hand, please say the word "I agree" to the messenger, and you will get virtue and praise. Of course, in addition, there are many, many, specific matters that we can talk about in detail after meeting.
May the Holy Emperor always protect you,
Your forever friend, Edward. Qinna.
Li closed his eyes. He didn't want to have an in-depth understanding of the truth of what was told in the letter. Maybe it was true or one-sided word, but these were not important.
The important thing is that the other party has made the matter clear, Edward. Qinna hoped that he could lead the regiment to the Iron Islands to quell the rebellion, but not in an ordinary way, not to kill all the rebels as usual, but to the opposite, to kill the former consul family, the Greyjoy family.
This is the only way for the Iron Islands to get rid of the rule of the Greyjoy family. As long as Greyjoy's bloodline is still circulating and the surname still exists, then the planet still belongs to the Greyjoy family in the laws of the empire.
When the Greyjoy family dies, the position can only be inherited by a new consul, or a new consul elected by the people, or appointed by the empire, as long as Lee and Edward. If the two people are present, then they will represent the empire, and the new consul will be discussed by the two.
Edward. Qinna wants to start a coup, and maybe he also wants to get the Iron Islands.
