Chapter 17 Krause
Chapter 17 Clauze
The meeting at the Royal Institute Headquarters ended, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
During the meeting, some of the people who walked out of the conference room door looked solemn, some were expressionless, and some were sweaty and looked no-one.
Shi Shi stayed, but Director Tang Xian, whom he often mentioned, took the lead.
Kou Linzai also stayed. He just greeted Ju Sheng, and the latter didn't ask much.
Crowze sat in the chair without moving. He supported his elbows on the table with his hands, intersected his fingers, and placed them near the people, quietly watching the crowd in the conference room leave.
After the electronic door was closed again, only the three of them were left in the room.
"You have something to tell me," Crowze said.
Shi Shi changed his amazing habit of speaking speed and spoke in a very calm tone: "I want to confirm that HL's special agent Tea Fairy has become history, right?"
"I also want to be an agent," Crowze replied: "But the things an agent can do are really limited. I have to choose another identity to shoulder greater responsibilities."
"Haha..." Shishi smiled: "I have been looking forward to the arrival of this day. If you are a prince, you can..."
"It's the emperor." Kou Linzai suddenly interrupted: "The identity he chose is not the seventh prince, but the supreme throne."
Even Shishi looked strange when he heard this. He turned to Clauze and said, "Hey... I said... Although your father is old, he is still healthy. You shouldn't want to..."
"Isn't it enough to let him abdicate?" Crowze calmly said extremely dangerous remarks: "Can the change of dynasty be completed only through the death of the former ruler? The world is already in chaos. It's easier for him to give up the throne and be the Supreme Emperor."
"The empire has not yet been established, but there has been no similar precedent." Shishi reminded, "As far as I know, changing the tradition of the empire may be more difficult than eliminating resistance organizations."
"That's because you don't see through the source of difficulties. Our dynasty uses a very backward centralized system, which is something that should have been eliminated as early as the 20th century. In my opinion, any tradition can be broken, and what is placed before us cannot be called a tradition." Crowze said: "Even the name of 'emperor' is not the case in my opinion. Does being named this name really represent nobility and talent? On the contrary, from ancient times to the present, there have been so many sad wastes who have held this name tightly in their hands and wished they could bring it into the cemetery, and a few of them deserve this supreme power.
As for the empire, the first emperor was indeed a hero for a lifetime. He swallowed eight deserts and swept the eighth country, boosted the long-term strategy and enforced the world. Anyone who reads history books will undoubtedly become his fans. No matter how much blood is stained on his hands, it cannot cover up his great achievements in creating a huge empire.
But what about the second generation and the third generation? Until my father, I am bluntly speaking, each generation is worse than the other.
Look at the current empire, what is this so-called stable and prosperous dynasty like? This world should be based on the law but not on people, but because of the nobles and royal families, they must not only rely on people, but also on people's families, family backgrounds, family hopes, and family readings... As long as they have a good background, even if they are a pig, they can become high-ranking officials. So what if the poor family, no matter how smart or capable the common people are? This is the world that the nobles want, monopolize the career and occupy the superstructure; control public opinion, master ideology; gather insatiable, and grasp the economic foundation.
If someone thinks that living under such a system can lead to an efficient and honest government and a fair and clear society, those people will definitely have problems with their brains.
Humans are the most likely creatures to fall. Look at the incompetent garbage around you. Behind each of them, there is also a group of interest groups composed of garbage, who pollute countless people with still conscience into something like them. More people will choose to join in the crowd than to stand up.
Those 'trash' are 'difficulties'. Any change that may violate their interests and any subversion of the so-called 'tradition' will make them unable to sleep or eat."
Crowze looked at Shi: "Are you afraid of garbage?"
Shi Shi's mouth grinned: "If your Highness allows you, I will deal with them all."
Kou Linzai smiled and said, "We are living in a garbage mountain. If you set the fire, you will be gone. You have to take your time."
Clauze knew that these two people were on the same boat as him, so he dared to say to them anything: "You are my friends, no matter I am the Tea Fairy, the Seventh Prince, or the Emperor, this will not change. What I want to do in the future requires your help, and only you can make me trust it completely."
"You are giving us some kind of authorization..." Shishi said: "I don't care what kind of false titles like "The Monkey King" will be given next. Just tell me, are there any people that cannot be killed and things that cannot be done in the future?"
"There is indeed a boundary." Clauze suddenly changed the subject: "Do you still remember the son of Marquis Clays?"
"Of course, that fat man had a holiday with me." Shishi replied.
"The next time you meet, you can kill him." Crowze said lightly, "But after killing someone, if someone wants to arrest you according to law, don't resist."
"Oh... the boundary is here." Shishi understood.
Clauze turned to Kou Linzai and said, "Sir, the same is true for your power."
Kou Linzai smiled decadently: "My subordinates are flattered, so grateful, and devote themselves to their work... and they will be spared if they die."
Clauze stood up and took his thermos: "From tomorrow, your position will change, and then, you will be directly under my command and follow me to obey the order."
"Haha... don't you think that it's a bit like a cross when we pull the hill like this?" Kou Linzai said.
Clauze stood there and was silent for a few seconds: "Tianyi is still my only opponent, and the counter-cross is the greatest threat to the empire." His eyes moved to Kou Linzai: "Wen has the wisdom of an adviser." He looked at Shishi again: "Wu has the courage of a blood owl." He turned and left: "Only one can compete with a male or female."
…………
When I returned to my residence in the palace, it was almost midnight.
As soon as Clauze entered the door, a young and beautiful maid came up shyly: "Your Highness, Miss Jiang Jun..."
"Are you waiting for me again..." Crowze guessed before he could finish his words: "Okay, I understand, you guys should also take a break early."
In recent months, Clauze's bedroom has been a bird gun replacement. Well... the cannon lifting is a bit vulgar, it's just a big change and a new look.
In the Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao searched the house and found almost unlimited funds, several top-quality orange pieces, and mission items forty-two chapters.
Clauze's experience is similar to his. He only dealt with a few powerful people of similar level as Lunsed. Now his residence has become similar to other princes. Not to mention that it is decorated in a very luxurious manner, it is quite appropriate to be magnificent. The number of maids has also increased at a very terrifying rate. The seventh prince's bedroom is almost becoming a shelter station for a fallen girl.
Jiang Yun sat on the sofa in the living room, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't seem to read much at all, and was confused about something.
She was wearing very elegant clothes without any makeup. Even so, she was kind and beautiful, bright and charming.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Yun raised her head and saw Clauze. She smiled and put down the book in her hand. She said in sign language: "Is it going well today?"
Clauze did not sit down. He stood beside Jiang Jun, showed a gentle smile and replied, "It's all good. You can rest early, don't wait for me every time."
Jiang Yun shook her head gently, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she was saying "It's okay".
She stood up, suddenly thought of something, and turned to speak sign language: "Do you like the tea I prepared?"
"Yeah, it's delicious." Crowze nodded and answered sincerely: "Please cook it for me in the future."
Jiang Yun responded to him with a smile. Whenever Clauze could always see a hint of undetectable bitterness in her smile.
She returned to the guest room, and Crowze watched her beautiful figure leave, and then she sat on the sofa.
This is a woman he didn't know what expression to face. For some reason, after that day, she stayed by her side, neither a master nor a servant, nor a wife nor a friend.
She had nowhere to go, and he couldn't bear to let her leave alone. Two lonely people naturally lived under the same roof.
Jiang Yun was stronger than Clauze imagined. After she woke up, she did not collapse due to the memories of blood and killing, but just cried for several days. Later she told Clauze that she felt sad because she could no longer speak.
Crowze felt that she was too kind. How could any innocent person have suffered such misfortune? She should be angry and hate her... But Jiang Yun never showed any resentful eyes, and not long after, there was a smile on her face.
Every time I see her smile, Crowze makes himself believe that there is still salvation in this world, that there is goodness in human nature, and that those beautiful things are worth fighting for.
If Tianyi hadn't sent Jiang Yun to Clauze, perhaps Clauze had become another Tianyi, and his bottom line was constantly retreating. He became useless and cruel, looking for reasonable reasons for his behavior.
But now, at least Crowze still knows what he does and what he does, what he wants, is. He always has a kindness.
