C30 Emperor and His Ministers

An ancient voice suddenly came from a dark corner, "Our old friend is coming back!"

"Haha, good! My old foe and old comrade are back! Old ghost, I will treat you to a drink!" A domineering voice came from a place that was extremely hot. The heat also spread out.

"Our old friend is still alive. He has finally chosen his successor. We have waited for 30 million years. Let us wait and see!" It was an ancient voice. Those who were not determined would probably die from old age after hearing this voice. The place where the voice came from was a decaying scene. All the stars in this area were rapidly decaying.

"Haha, I feel that the place where the knight's inheritance is is very far from us. It should be in a corner. I really want to see which lucky kid has obtained the inheritance." The voice was clear and melodious, like a young girl's voice. As the girl laughed, the space seemed to have a strong vitality. The dying planets and plants slowly recovered their vitality.

A peaceful voice sounded, "That year, the knight died and only 9999 knight's inheritance tablets were left. He did not tell us how to obtain his inheritance. Since someone can obtain his inheritance today, the knight does not want us to disturb him. Everyone, do not disturb the inheritor. When the time comes, we will naturally see him."

As the calm voice rang out, the mysterious and strange place seemed to return to its original state. There was no death, heat, decay, and life force.

The other three people were extremely respectful to this calm voice and replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness!"

A flashy red supercar quickly drove into the heavily guarded palace. This was the first and only supercar in the empire, the First and Second Empire's Eldest Princess, Kellis.

The many palace maids who had already received the news of the Eldest Princess's return stood orderly at the entrance of the Eldest Princess's bedroom. When they saw a handsome young man walk down from the sports car, all of them were stunned on the spot. Only the two personal maids who were most familiar with the Eldest Princess walked up a few steps and said politely, "Respectfully welcome the Eldest Princess back to the palace!"

The other palace maids finally reacted. It turned out that this handsome youth was the Eldest Princess. They immediately bowed and shouted, "Respectfully welcoming the Eldest Princess!"

“Spring Wind, Summer Rain, bring me to the bath and change clothes. I want to see the Emperor!”

"It's ready, Your Highness!" The slightly older Spring Wind bowed and replied.

Half an hour later, a peerless beauty walked out. She had long black hair like a waterfall, and a white palace dress. She had a standard oval face, long almond eyes, and a dignified temperament. Anyone who saw her would admire her.

"Our beautiful Eldest Princess is back!" The smiling spring wind quickly walked forward and handed the lilies in her hand to the Eldest Princess.

"Reporting to the Eldest Princess, your niece, Liya, has just arrived and is waiting for you in your study!" Xia Yu bowed and said.

"I won't wait for my dear aunt in the study alone! Wow, what a beautiful beauty! I wonder which boy will be lucky enough to have her in the future! Jealousy!" As she spoke, a girl who was about the same age as Kellis walked into the room.

This was a beautiful girl. She was born to be beautiful. She had fair skin, big eyes, delicate nose, and a full mouth. Together with her long hair that looked like a waterfall, it formed a natural beautiful picture.

"Hahaha, my beloved niece, you are still so cute!" Kellis walked up happily and stretched out her hand to pinch the pretty girl's face.

"Humph! Kellis, you pinch my face the moment you come back. See if I don't burst your chest!" After saying that, she pretended to reach out her two small hands to claw at her.

The two cute beauties played around for a while, and Kellis said seriously, "Liya, what level of universe qi are you at now? Did you slack off when I was not around?"

"Tsk, you were born only three days older than me. You always pretend to be old and arrogant. How boring!" Liya pouted her small mouth and continued, "Of course I won't slack off. My universe qi is already at level seven when you left half a year ago. Hmph! Why didn't you take me with you when you secretly went out to play?

"Alright, my cute Princess Liya, I have to immediately meet His Majesty the Emperor. I have something to discuss with him. After that, I will go and pay respects to your mother! I haven't seen my sister-in-law in a long time. I miss her so much," Kellis said seriously.

"Alright, alright. It's been a long time since I last saw my father. Let's go together!" Liya said happily.

The Imperial Palace was too big. From the Eastern Palace to the Imperial Palace, it would take at least half a day to walk from one end to the other.

There were special transportation carriages in the Imperial Palace. The so-called transportation carriages were specially made floating cars. They were extremely fast, and they traveled at a high speed according to the predetermined track.

The two princesses sat in the Eldest Princess's carriage and headed straight to the Emperor’s study. Along the way, countless palace maids saw the carriage that was only second to the Emperor and the Empress, and they bowed from afar.

In the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor rested and met his trusted aides. The three ministers were standing respectfully in front of the Emperor’s study table. The Emperor was editing the memorials from all over the country while listening to the three ministers’ opinions.

"Your Majesty, the financial situation this year is just like this. After calculating with the Holo-Brain, there shouldn't be a huge financial deficit this year. However, the expenditure of the Military Department has exceeded the quota. I dare to suggest that the military expenditure should be reduced. Now, the military expenditure has already accounted for 25% of the country's total income. This way, this way, this way..." Some of the fat financial ministers, Jia Ru Ren, stammered.

"Humph!" The emperor on the desk snorted lightly, and he had a dignified aura about him.

The elegant and dignified emperor gently put down the brush in his hand.

The Finance Minister, Lord Jia, was already sweating profusely as he knelt on the ground and said anxiously, "I don't dare! However, such a huge military expenditure will drag down the economy of our empire. If this goes on, if this goes on…"

"Empress, can you tell me if the palace guards can still fight?" The emperor ignored the trembling Lord Jia and turned to ask the military minister, Tang Siguo.

Tang Siguo, who was dressed in military uniform, was the only five-star general in the empire. He was also the first foreign noble to be a duke in the empire.

Hearing the emperor's question, the old general knelt on one knee and replied with a strong voice, "Your Majesty, the morale of our middle troops is high and they are well-trained. If we fight on land, we will definitely be invincible. However, if we are to fight on starships… I am guilty!" After saying that, he lowered his head.

"It's not that you are guilty, it's that I am guilty!" The emperor said lightly.

"Your Majesty!" The last minister, Premier Wai Qing, also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please don't do this. This is all because we can't help you. How could we dare to let you be punished? We will die ten thousand times!"

The other two ministers also answered, "We will die ten thousand times!"

"All of you are my loyal subjects, and you are also my two generations of old ministers. You don't need to die ten thousand times. Only one head can die! The three of you are also my uncles, and my father told me that you are all the pillars of the country. You are all capable men, so don't kneel in the future!" The emperor walked over the desk and helped the three kneeling ministers up.

"I am the great army, the invincible palace guards, and I can't and don't dare to fight against the enemy in the starry sky. All of these reasons are because of the three great nobles' rampage. I have no choice but to secretly order the military expenditure of the middle army to be filled with the four armies in the north, south, east, and west. Right now, the four armies are powerful, and the palace guards are the only ones that are exhausted. This is a helpless action." The emperor turned around and looked at the map of the empire behind him.

The chubby financial minister thought for a while, then he kneeled down and said firmly, "I understand. Your Majesty, please rest assured. I, I will not reduce the military expenditure even if I have to tear myself apart! Give me three months, no! Give me two months, and I will definitely gather the military expenditure for this year!"

"Good! Lord Jia, get up! What I want is your determination. I don't need you to tear yourself apart. I will give you a good business, and it will definitely make up for the empire's financial expenditure." The emperor turned around and smiled at the few of them.

Hearing that the Finance Minister, Lord Jia, was so excited that his eyes lit up, he immediately stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, may I know what kind of good business can have such a great profit?"

"Speaking of this good business, I have to thank my royal sister. She has already come, so let her come and tell you!" After saying that, the emperor's eyes looked towards the door of the room.

"Your Majesty! The Eldest Princess Kellis and Princess Liya have come to see you!" The head guard, Tang Wei, reported loudly.

Lu Gang and the other two knights kneeled down on one knee in front of the Knight's Monument. A magnificent figure in a knight's armor appeared in front of the three of them.

An ancient and dignified voice sounded in the hearts of the three of them, "Good morning, my successors. I didn't expect three successors to appear. I don't have much time, so I hope you can listen carefully. I only need you to swear a soul oath that you will never betray the human race. I will pass on my three great inheritances to you. Are you willing?"

The three of them replied in unison, "We are willing to swear an oath that we will never betray the human race, or else our souls will be destroyed!" As the oath was made, the laws of the world seemed to resonate in their hearts, and the three of them felt as if there was a warning in their hearts, a warning that they could not go against.

The magnificent figure said happily, "Very good. I will pass on the three ultimate skills to you. They are the Unyielding Battle Will, the Fairness Mirror, and the Justice Judgement! The three of you will receive the inheritance at the same time. How much you can learn will depend on your luck and comprehension."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange ripple spread out from his body. The three of them followed the ripple and entered a state of selflessness, "Fair!" The mighty figure shouted.

Lu Gang and Benjamin also shouted, "Fair!" At the same time, the two of them also had the same ripple on their bodies. The mighty figure smiled happily when he saw this.

"Unyielding!" As the mighty figure shouted, the ripple on his body turned blood-red.

"Unyielding!" Lu Gang and Cole responded in unison. The two of them also had the same blood-red ripple on their bodies. "Eh?" The mighty figure stared at Lu Gang and smiled even more happily.

"Justice!" As the mighty figure shouted, space around his body started to distort.

After a long time, Lu Gang shouted, "Justice!" Waves of ripples appeared in the space around him.

The mighty knight was overjoyed. "Good, good, good! I didn't expect that after waiting for 30 million years, I would be able to leave a perfect legacy in this world!"

The mighty knight smiled when he saw the fist imprint on the Knight's Monument. "My old friend, old comrade, I didn't expect you to still have this trick up your sleeves. Since that's the case, let me fulfill my legacy!"

With a wave of his hand, the fist imprint on the Knight's Monument disappeared. Not only did the fist imprint disappear, but all the other fist imprints on the Knight's Monument seemed to have faded away.

At the same time, a fist technique that could split the sky and the earth appeared in the sky above Lu Gang's spiritual ocean.

The figure of the Knight became fainter and fainter. The Knight smiled as he looked at the territory of the Human Race. Finally, he disappeared into the starry sky. All the Human Race in the three great domains felt an inexplicable sadness in their hearts!
