First Secret Agent in History

Chapter 323 Changes in the Empire! Half a million troops!

Faced with Yun Zhonghe's crazy rise, the two ruling kings and the Senate temporarily fell into silence.

Previously, some people proposed to order the First Legion to enter the imperial capital to suppress the radical activities of the New Sect Party.

But now, all this has become impossible.

After Yun Zhonghe took over the New Zong Party, all radical activities stopped, and the confrontation with the empire's top officials also stopped.

Today's new religious party has devoted itself wholeheartedly to the new construction boom.

New factories are rising one after another.

This dynamic organization is doing its best to change the empire and develop productivity.

Then ban Yun Zhonghe's speech and ban his performance?

Block new sectarian publications and newspapers?

This is even more impossible, because most of Yun Zhonghe's speeches have nothing to do with politics, and they have no intention of confronting the empire's senior officials.

Most of the publications are literature and philosophy, as well as highly specialized academic papers.

And his music, every piece of it is so classic and stunning, it has become an indispensable part of the spiritual life of the citizens of the empire.

Not even a single member of the Senate dared to propose the idea of ​​banning these music and these articles.

Because these things are advanced and beautiful, anyone who dares to block them will become a public enemy of the empire.

No one will carry out this order and search the phonographs in pubs and dormitories?

This is even more impossible.

There are no stupid people in the empire. Every citizen has received eight years of basic education, and a considerable number of citizens have received higher education.

Closeness and backwardness have no place in the empire.

On the contrary, the empire's top brass became increasingly embarrassed.

Yunzhonghe's music, art, literature, philosophy, and new material civilization have become the mainstream culture of the empire.

The more alienated the empire's top leaders appear from these cultures, the more conservative and backward they appear.

In the New Dayan Empire, being conservative means being wrong.

After the vigorous construction of the New Sect Party, several power plants have been built, and a considerable part of the circuit transformation has been completed in the entire imperial capital.

More and more institutions began to receive electricity and replaced them with electric lights.

There are several major colleges and dozens of basic schools.

Most workshops, libraries, taverns, etc.

The lighting project in the Imperial Capital is already in full swing. Moreover, the homes of many citizens of the empire have also begun to receive electricity.

Every night when I look at the night view of the Imperial Capital, it becomes more and more beautiful and brighter.

However, there is still no power to the Senate and the Consul Palace, and there is no power to the Consul Office of the Imperial Capital.

Public opinion has become increasingly unfavorable.

There is no doubt that electric lights are brighter and safer than biogas lights and gas lights.

The empire seeks truth from facts. Anyone who opposes this is ignorant.

So electric lights mean advancement and civilization, but the Senate and the Consul, as the highest authorities in the empire, still do not use electricity or electric lights. Is this resistance to new civilization?

This is becoming more and more conservative and backward.

The people are gossiping more and more, and their gazes towards the Senate and the Consulate are becoming more and more disrespectful.

……………………

In a villa belonging to a member of the Senate, this big shot was writing furiously in his study. Of course, he was still using gas lamps.

His two children were outside the balcony at this time, looking at the house next door with great envy.

Their family has always been the envy of others, because his father is a member of the Senate and a high-level official in the empire, and her mother is an official in the Consulate. They live in a big villa with a big garden.

The people next to them include the empire's top doctors, factory owners, and senior professors in the empire.

In the past, those families had a lower status, and the children would come to their homes to play, marveling at their big gardens and their study rooms.

But recently, all the neighborhood children have stopped coming to their house to play.

Because their parents are conservative.

Moreover, the lights in the neighboring houses are so bright, and they also have a gramophone. The children are sitting on the soft carpet, lighting up the bright electric lamps, listening to wonderful music, and reading brand new storybooks.

They also wanted gramophones, electric lights, new storybooks, and color comic books.

However, their parents did not allow it, saying that they could not be corrupted by Yun Zhonghe's new culture.

As a result, over time they became isolated from the children around them.

The two children took advantage of their parents not paying attention, climbed over the wall quietly, and ran to a neighbor's house.

Then, several children read comic books together, read story books together, and listened to records together.

"Wow, your house is so bright."

"This picture book is so beautiful."

"This gramophone sounds great."

"Can I still come tomorrow?"

However, the two children were not happy for long. Their mother came with a serious face.

"go home!"

The head of this family is a senior scholar, his father is a professor, and his mother is a doctor, both members of the New Sect Party.

The couple is very affectionate to the children who come into their home to play. They not only welcome them, but also give them delicious snacks.

But they were very indifferent to the woman who entered their home, because she was a conservative, and her husband was the most stubborn conservative in the Senate and one of Yun Zhonghe's staunchest opponents.

Although the other party is a high-ranking official in the empire, as professors and doctors, the couple is also very noble and there is no need to fawn over each other.

Under the cold eyes of their mother, the two children of the upper echelons of the Senate left in frustration.

I really can't bear to part with the light here, these picture albums, and the nice gramophone.

After returning home, the two children couldn't help but said: "Dad, Mom, let's install electric lights in our house, and let's also buy a gramophone. It's not very expensive. My pocket money is enough."

"Shut up!" the Senate official said coldly: "These things are used by Yun Zhonghe to corrupt the people of the empire. Anyone who uses these things has been poisoned by him. If you dare to mention this matter again, You will be punished. Who asked you to listen to the gramophone? Who asked you to read Yun Zhonghe's picture album? Stretch out your hand!"

The two children held out their hands pitifully.

The senate official picked up a ruler and slapped the two children on the palms of their hands.

The two children burst into tears in pain.

This Senate official is already in his sixties this year, and his two children are only less than ten years old. Of course, he loves his children when he is old.

But for the sake of his own position, the two children must be punished.

After spanking the two children, she found that her hands were swollen, so the mother went to get ointment to apply to the children's little hands.

Finally, I took out the ointment and looked at it. I found that the ointment was produced by the Third Academy Workshop.

This ointment is also made by the New Sect Party and belongs to Yun Zhonghe. Could it be that... it can't be used as well?

However, this ointment is very useful.

After putting her two children to bed, the woman discovered with embarrassment that there was blood on her skirt.

Because when her period came, she had been using paper pads, so it leaked.

She knew that the workshop of the Third Academy of the Empire had produced a brand new auntie towel, which was very easy to use, had strong suction, was soft and comfortable, and immediately gained the hearts of the female citizens of the Empire after it was put on the market.

Almost every female citizen is wearing it, and it is called a cloud scarf.

I heard that Yun Zhonghe invented this because he felt sorry for his wife. Countless women in the empire said that this was not only a beautiful gift from Yun Zhonghe to his wife, but also a gift from him to all the women in the empire.

Just this gift has won the favor of countless women.

Compared with papyrus, this cloud scarf is completely revolutionary. The wife of a senate official used the best paper, but it still caused embarrassment.

She quickly went to the bathroom to clean up and picked up a pack of cloud towels, which she bought secretly.

But I dare not use it. Once I use it, it will be corrupted by Yun Zhonghe and my husband will be angry.

Looking at this bathroom again, she couldn't help but sigh.

The conditions of her family are very good. Her husband is a high-ranking official in the empire, and the house assigned to her is of a very high level.

However, this bathroom is also lagging behind.

The New Zong Party launched a vigorous bathroom revolution, all adopting Yunzhonghe's new bathroom design.

Brand new ceramic toilet, ceramic sink, ceramic tile walls, and installed electric lights.

She has been to the new bathroom, which is spotless and shiny. She is simply enjoying it.

It was like her bathroom, so dark and backward, no matter how much aromatherapy she lit, it couldn't cover up the stench.

She also wanted such a bathroom, but unfortunately she couldn't, because it was also Yun Zhonghe's mental corruption.

She was actually worried in her heart. Countless people in the imperial capital were changing and embracing the new civilization, and they, the conservatives, were becoming more and more ridiculous and would one day be eliminated.

After beating the child, this conservative official of the Senate continued to write documents criticizing Yun Zhonghe's article.

But for some reason, the more he wrote, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but slap his hand on the table.

And at this moment...

"boom!"

Suddenly, the gas lamp exploded, and the broken glass directly scratched his face, causing blood to flow profusely.

The fire ignited the study directly, and it was blazing in a blink of an eye.

He also tried to put out the flames, but it was too late.

Soon, the guards and servants of the family rushed forward and tried their best to put out the fire with water.

The wife screamed and the two children also screamed in fright.

Two quarters of an hour later, the fire was finally put out.

But the house of this high-ranking official of the empire was half burned down.

……………………

A high-ranking member of the Imperial Senate had half his house burned down by gas lighting.

This is not a big deal. Over the years, there have been countless accidents involving gas lamps and biogas lamps. They are very common.

But this incident caused an uproar and triggered a big discussion throughout the empire.

At a meeting in the Consul Palace, a Senate official suddenly stood up and said: "Princes of the Consulate, my eyesight is bad and I can't see clearly when writing at night. If I want to get electricity, can I install electric lights?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.

Nowadays, installing electric lights has become an absolute matter of position.

None of the upper echelons of the Senate had electricity, because once electricity was installed and electric lights were installed, it would be a compromise to the New Sect Party, and it would be corrupted by Yun Zhonghe.

The veteran said: "As everyone knows, I am also an opponent of Yun Zhonghe, and I reject everything about him. Everyone also knows that my heart is not very good. One day I became ill, my chest was heavy, I couldn't breathe, and death enveloped me. Me. My wife rushed over and gave me a pill, which saved my life. The doctor said that if it were a little later, my life might not be saved. Later I saw this medicine, and its name is Jiuxin Pill. The scientific name is nitroglycerin. It was also invented by Yun Zhonghe, and he even wrote a paper on it and donated it to the empire for free. Now this medicine is available everywhere in the empire and has saved countless lives."

"Last night, the gas lamp in Mr. Zheng Que's house exploded, causing a fire that burned half of the house and even cut his face." The elder said: "If he had installed electric lights, this tragedy would not have happened. Yes. Why not install electric lights? Is it wrong to be bright and safe?"

The conservative elder Zheng Que said coldly: "Lord Li Fu, you have fallen, you have been corrupted, and you have betrayed the empire. Yes, half of my home was burned down, and my face was injured. But so what? I can give my life for the empire. What does it matter if I am disfigured? What does it matter if my house is burned down? I would rather die than install electric lights. I would rather die than compromise with Yun Zhonghe. For the empire, I will Willing to be shattered to pieces."

Elder Li Fu sneered: "Lord Zheng Que, you cannot represent the empire. None of us here can represent the empire. Only countless people can represent the empire."

Then, he said to the two ruling kings: "Of course, I don't mean to force you to install electric lights, I just want to install them at home. Two ruling kings? Is that okay?"

Suddenly, the two ruling kings became enlarged.

The answer is no? That's ridiculous. The ruling king has no power to prevent high-ranking officials of the empire from installing electric lights.

Can you answer that? That would be equivalent to tearing a hole in the Senate.

King Wen thought for a while and said: "Of course, it is every citizen's freedom to install electric lights."

Elder Li Fu said: "Thank you, the ruling king."

Then, the elder Li Fu began to invite people to build circuits and install lights at his home that day.

He also bought a gramophone and Yun Zhonghe's books.

This was the first time that electric lighting was installed in the Senate.

Yun Zhonghe's new civilization movement tore a hole in the Senate.

But three days later!

Someone impeached Li Fu in the consul palace. When he was the consul of the Western Region, he had accepted bribes and bought and sold official positions.

This incident caused quite a stir, and the ruling king ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

It turned out that when Li Fu was the governor of the Western Region, he once promoted a county governor. Among the many competitors, he had the lowest reputation and he was promoted from a mine.

Afterwards, the county governor felt surprised, so he went to give gifts. He didn't dare to give them to Li Fu, so he gave them to his son.

The gift wasn't very unusual, it was just a strange stone sculpture that was excavated from the mine.

But now someone has revealed that the stone sculpture is actually a piece of natural nugget gold, but it does look like a stone on the surface.

This gold nugget is worth more than 10,000 silver coins.

As a result, Elder Li Fu resigned from all official positions, and his son was arrested and imprisoned for taking bribes.

The person who impeached Li Fu was Zheng Que, who was hostile to Yun Zhonghe.

This incident shocked the empire directly.

Is this a joke? !

The gold nugget worth more than 10,000 silver coins seems to be worth a lot, but it is only half a year's salary of Li Fu.

He would only accept this bribe if he was out of his mind, and his son's favorite thing is to collect various stones. Who knew that the stone carving was a gold nugget, and the surface was just a lifelike stone carving.

How unjust?

The reason why Li Fu was impeached and forced to resign was entirely because he was the first to electrify his home, and he became the first in the Senate to accept Yun Zhonghe.

The situation instantly became tense.

In the past, the New Sect Party used radical methods to fight, but after Yun Zhonghe took over power, there was no direct confrontation with the Senate anymore, and the struggle was greatly eased.

But now, it is the Senate who is using radical fighting methods.

It is the Senate that is intensifying the conflict.

Yun Zhonghe was disappointed with the Senate and the ruling king for the first time.

The ruling king and the Senate have always been relatively open-minded and tolerant. But this time the methods were too dirty, and the struggle had no bottom line.

Has an enlightened high-ranking official in the empire really become ignorant and corrupt because of power?

If that's the case, that's really disappointing.

A ruling class, for the sake of power, began to confuse right and wrong, and began to reject all advanced affairs?

If that were the case, then there would be no need for this ruling class to exist.

……………………

Yun Zhonghe's face was very ugly.

"Am I looking down on the ruling king of the empire and the Senate?" Yun Zhonghe hissed: "Are they not as enlightened as I imagined? If they are really so ignorant, then they are not qualified to represent The interests of the empire."

Now the entire New Sect Party is very angry, because of this incident, there is huge suppressed anger.

Today's Xin Zongdang and today's Yun Zhonghe are completely different from before.

Although they did not hold an army in their hands, they held absolute public opinion.

Once Yun Zhonghe fails to restrain himself, as long as he climbs up and shouts, earth-shattering changes will immediately occur.

In this incident, not only the members of the New Zong Party expressed anger and disappointment, but also the people of the empire were angry, and even many officials were disappointed.

But because Yun Zhonghe was suppressing it, everyone hadn't exploded yet.

It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous.

Li Fu was an important minister of the empire. Just because his home had electricity and electric lights installed, he was impeached and resigned, and he was also charged with selling his official position?

How many people in the entire empire have electric lights installed in their homes? Are they all guilty?

Has the Senate become so conservative and decadent?

"Don't be angry, don't be angry..." Queen Dusha said: "My dear, please restrain yourself a little. I will go to the Consul Palace and see the two consul kings."

Then, Queen Tussaud entered the Consul Palace overnight.

……………………

"What do you want to do? Two ruling kings?" Queen Dusha said tremblingly: "Just because of the installation of electric lights, force an important minister of the empire into a corner?"

King Wen said: "How could it be because of the installation of electric lights? It is because of corruption."

Queen Dusha said: "There are only three of us here. Let's not say such nonsense. Release Lord Li Fu's son immediately, restore his reputation, and re-try the case to give Lord Li Fu a clean slate."

King Wen was silent for a moment and said: "The pure will become clear from themselves, and the dirty will become dirty from themselves. The empire will not wrongly accuse a good person, nor will it let a bad person go."

Queen Dusha was shocked, and then said coldly: "Go and ask outside, how disappointed are the people about this matter? Who doesn't know the truth? Li Fu's salary is tens of thousands of silver coins a year, but he will embezzle just over 10,000 silver coins. ? Over the past year, the backwardness and obsolescence shown by the Consul Palace and the Senate has disappointed countless people. Are you going to become the old Great Yan Empire? Are you completely on the opposite side of the general public? "

King Wen said: "The Consulate and the Senate have always stood on the side of the people of the empire and have always represented the interests of the people of the empire."

Queen Tussaud sneered: "When did the ruling king of the empire tell lies like the officials of the old world? Do you represent the interests of the people? Then I ask you, which one is more advanced, electric light or gas light? You guys talk!"

Queen Dusha was also very disappointed. The candidates for the two ruling kings were also approved by him and her husband.

And once the other party dares to say something like gaslighting is more advanced, it means that the two of them are completely hopeless. Such people who regard deer as horses are simply not qualified to lead the empire.

Wu Zhiwang said: "Of course electric lights are more advanced."

Queen Tussaud said: "Since electric lights are more advanced, why doesn't the Consul Palace have electricity? Why don't they install electric lights?"

Wu Zhiwang said: "The electric light is not guilty, but the person who invented the electric light had ulterior motives."

Queen Dusha's beautiful eyes turned cold and she said, "What's Yun Zhonghe's crime?"

King Wu said: "He wants to seize power. He is from the old world in the East. We accepted him and gave him a high status. However, he wants to occupy the magpie's nest. Isn't this a sin?"

Queen Dusha said: "Now it seems that you are from the old world. Is he of the same race and bloodline as us? Is he a direct descendant of His Majesty Emperor Yanxinzong? The people of the empire trust and admire him. He, because of his new wisdom and new civilization, has brought changes to the empire and can make the people of the empire live a better life."

King Wen suddenly raised his hand and said: "Stop! Queen Tusha, we can also embrace the new civilization and accept the new world. But that is under our own leadership, not an outsider leading us."

Queen Dusha said: "However, this new civilization was brought by Yun Zhonghe, and this is his wisdom."

King Wu said: "Then he should be upright and upright. After contributing his wisdom, he should immediately retreat to the back. Why do he still have to show off? Why do he still have to accept the worship of everyone? He... should go. He has become unpopular in the empire. of people.”

King Wen said: "What is the purpose of his coming? Isn't it just to borrow troops? Isn't it just that he wants to take back his old Eastern Empire? Well, let's lend him troops, one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand, fifty thousand." Wan? We will lend him the army as long as he returns to the east immediately."

Queen Dusha said: "We only have a total of 600,000 main troops. Do you want to borrow 500,000?"

King Wu said: "He wants an army, so we will give him an army. He has no right to ask for more. He has contributed his wisdom to the empire, and we are very grateful, so we loaned him 500,000 troops, and from then on we have both money and goods."

Queen Dusha said: "The army of half a million you call is a servant army drawn from the colonies, right? Is it a Caotai army temporarily recruited from slaves?"

King Wu said: "In short, we will give him half a million troops and a fleet! He will leave the empire completely and never come back again, so both parties will be happy."

The military ruler did not deny this, that is, a servant army composed of half a million slaves.

Queen Dusha said slowly: "Two ruling kings, if you do this, you will completely anger him and the New Zong Party."

Wu Zhiwang said: "We don't care if Yun Zhonghe wants to become a star. He invented the word star. But the investigation of Li Fu is an internal affair of the empire, and he cannot interfere. The new clan party develops productivity and brings new things to the empire. We welcome civilization very much, and we are willing to embrace new civilization. But if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to steal power or interfere in political affairs, you can't! We have a bottom line. Don't forget that the empire still has hundreds of thousands of troops, and we are against them That’s enough tolerance.”

The ruling king Wen said: "Please tell the new clan party that it is okay to express your own opinions, but if you attack the ruling palace and the imperial government, it is a crime. Don't blame the empire's ruthless laws. As for Li Fu, we will definitely If we deal with it impartially, we will not interfere with the new clan."

King Wu said: "Please tell Yun Zhonghe that the Eastern World is waiting for him. The people of the New Dayan Empire do not need his rescue, but the people of the Old Eastern World need his rescue. Take the army we lent him , leave here, leave these right and wrong."

……………………

Queen Tussaud returned to the new sect headquarters and repeated the words of the two ruling kings.

"They want to drive you away and leave the empire." Queen Dusha said: "They are willing to lend you a servant army of 500,000 slaves and a fleet to allow you to return to the Eastern Empire. But you must go, I’m leaving immediately.”

Yun Zhonghe sighed: "Is it true that all history is modern history? Will all history repeat itself? Will the once advanced forces become conservative and backward forces? In the past year, I was very tolerant, suppressed all the radical behaviors of the New Religious Party, and did not have any direct confrontation with the empire's senior officials. But this does not mean that I am weak."

Queen Tussaud said: "My dear, history will repeat itself, and it will definitely repeat itself. But it will never repeat itself, and there will be changes every time it repeats. This time at least the majority of the people are on our side. I believe in the hearts of many officials , are also leaning towards us. They have the most powerful army, but the army may not listen to them."

"Yes, history will repeat itself, but it will never be a simple repetition." Yun Zhonghe said: "I will never leave, let alone establish another empire."

Yun Zhonghe sat down slowly and said: "It doesn't matter if we break up our faces, start immediately, escalate the struggle in an all-round way, and drive out the two ruling kings!"
