Tech overlord

The food came. It was a steaming hot pot with a bright red bottom. It was obvious that Mr. Zheng was sure that Li Ruoyu would come to him today, so he prepared the meal in advance.

After eating, he likes to eat hot pot, so he prepared specially, twelve dishes, a complete set around the bottom of the pot, hairy belly, yellow throat, fresh duck blood, beef...

Just looking at it makes people move their index fingers. Speaking of it, it is winter, it is time to eat hot pot, but around the imperial city, this bite is not popular. People here prefer to cook lamb. Or, take your family and go to West Street to eat a warm bite of sour radish and old duck soup.

Zheng's old age is old and shouldn't eat these spicy things. However, this is Li Ruoyu's hobby, so he prepared it. Although the two are not good at expressing feelings, the kind of things that are rooted in the deepest will always The deduction at all times may be just a sentence, an act revealed inadvertently.

"Master."

Li Ruoyu picked up the chopsticks and stirred the bottom of the pot. He first adjusted the sauce for Mr. Zheng, and then made one for himself. At the same time, he asked softly: "Recently, how about it?"

Although Elder Zheng is a bit rickety, his spirit is not bad. As he grows older, the wisdom that his eyes reveal makes people feel more profound, just like the stars of the universe, just one glance at them will sink into it.

"Human, I am old and useless. You see, your Majesty will not let me go to the morning court these few days." Zheng Lao Hun smiled carelessly.

This sentence may not be felt by others, but Li Ruoyu, who was close at hand, felt sad and unwilling to hear it.

Of course, the empress did not let him go to the early court, not to guard him, but to care.

Elderly old people are actually very fragile. Such people cannot get sick, cannot catch colds, or fall somersaults, otherwise, they will not be far away from the soul. Fortunately, Zheng is also open-minded. Hey, on weekdays, I keep fish in the yard, walk the birds, or call some old men to go to the mansion to accompany myself to play chess to relieve my boredom.

At this moment, a servant came over with a document in his hand, glanced at Li Ruoyu, and said, "I have seen Uncle Li."

Old Zheng turned his head and asked: "What's the matter?"

"This is your majesty's papers today. There are some problems that she can't pay attention to. I want you to see them."

"Put it in the study room."

The servant nodded, turned and left.

People did not go to court, but there was no delay. From this point, we can see how close the relationship between the empress and him and the mutual trust has reached. After all, they are the elders. Such people, in certain things The above opinions are not only sharp and unique, but also the key points can be seen at a glance and suggestions can be made.

Old Zheng turned his head and said, "How is it, is the taste used to it?"

Li Ruoyu nodded and said, "It's the taste I like."

"You kid, just fool me. This taste is more than a hundred miles away from Darkmoon City's. Darkmoon City's chili oil is a special product of Chaotian Pepper, which is not available in the Imperial Capital. The chili peppers are not spicy, hey, just leave it like that anyway. I'll just go back someday, and then go there and eat some boiled dragon meat."

Old Zheng smiled slyly.

Li Ruoyu poured the duck blood into the pot and stirred for a while without speaking.

Elder Zheng drank hot tea, and the topic changed quickly. One second before he was still greeting the family, and the next second, he immediately switched to the situation of being a relative. Fortunately, Li Ruoyu was used to it a long time ago, so it was not surprising.

"How about the twelve coastal cities?"

"It's stabilized. The main traitors have been eliminated. I didn't leave any of them, but the hidden dangers are still there. The 200,000 refugees are waiting for the public losers to extort materials from the Japanese country to fund them. Anyway, the biggest problem has been resolved. Well, when the time comes, when the imperial court sends a large official from the central government, it can be completely stabilized.

Therefore, the father need not worry, I have survived the most difficult days."

In fact, the biggest problem with the twelve coastal cities is the livelihood of the people. This is not something Li Ruoyu has to worry about. His task is to put down the rebellion, stabilize the situation there, reform the military, and guard against the Japanese and the White Eagle Empire. The counterattack, I think about it now, but it won't.

Toyoda Hideyoshi in the village of Gods of War became a prisoner. At the moment, he was locked in a certain place, and he was still negotiating in the Kant shogunate. In a short time, he would not dare to make mistakes unless they were tired of their lives and dared to directly confront the Empire of Chenxi Declare war and face the anger of hundreds of millions of people in Dawn.

As for the White Eagle Empire, Vladivostok has its own heavy guards. Although it is a little uneasy now, it is not to the point of tearing its face.

This time I came back, just to solve these hidden dangers, to give Chenxi Empire a bone-scraping treatment. If these restless factors are not completely shattered, they will not be able to eradicate these stubborn diseases. In fact, his arrival is another blood. The rainy wind is more violent than ever before. If it weren't, it wouldn't come by driving a warship in person.

"Actually, I always felt that you should go back to Darkmoon City to make an invention, but you little fellow likes to lead soldiers in battle."

"When the Xianyi Rage Horse was a teenager, who didn't like the ambition of being trapped, sir, at any rate I was holding it up with your own hands."

"Hahaha." Zheng Laoyang smiled and said: "I didn't let you kill people, kill prisoners."

Li Ruoyu’s treatment of captives was extremely cruel. In some places, they were very similar to Liu Changfeng’s methods. They attacked the city not for the purpose of breaking the city, but for massacre and murder, but it was precisely because of these methods. , So after the reputation spreads, you can often get unexpected results.

Mr. Zheng didn’t mean to blame when he said these words. He was just full of worries. He said, “That’s why you make people jealous and hateful. Now the court has spread, saying that you will be too aggressive. Affected the luck of the Dawn Empire.

even,

Rumors circulated from the Tianji Pavilion, saying that you are the chosen son of heaven, and then, spread by the people, you became the son of the demon king."

"Haha." Li Ruoyu ate a piece of meat and smiled: "These people dare to chew their tongues behind their backs. Without me, can they talk about me unscrupulously in court?

Blame me for making them full.

If you want to develop, you must settle both externally and internally. Only in this way can we develop peacefully. Now, external threats must basically be eliminated.

Now, it’s their turn. This time I came back and kept it from everyone, old man. Earlier, I received information that people here had impeached me at the court and wanted to put me in jail and end the process of industrialization. , Do you know who it is?"

"Correct."

Elder Zheng nodded and said: "The strategy is indeed correct and the general direction is correct.

Our Dawn Empire, have we ever lowered our heads?In the early years, the Winter City on the snow-covered plateau was occupied, which was forced by the oppression of the Holy See.

Vladivostok was ceded because the Holy See came from the gods and must be cut out.

It is said that there are four empires in the world today, but a few years ago, no one treated us as empires. You can see the attitude of the Japanese neighboring country.

Not to mention the duchy of the Southern Kingdom and the ancient Mengs. In the past three years, you, leading the army, played Dawn’s upsurge, regained the territory, put down the rebellion, reformed the system, and made Dawn prosperous. I can see that Not only me, the empress, and some patriotic ministers, how can they not realize it?

Some people impeach you, avoiding the important, and not mentioning your merits. They just grab you for your humanitarian actions. When it comes to them, it is because they really can't find a suitable reason.

Only moving out of righteousness is really disgusting.

Don't worry, there is me in the court, as long as I am still a day, no one dares to take you, no matter who the person behind it is."

Speaking of this, Zheng Lao's eyes radiated cold light, and he was nearly a hundred years old, and he had passed his old age, but the vitality in his bones did not disappear.

Some people think that he is not going to the DPRK now because he is old and useless. Where to know, this in itself is a kind of wisdom.

"Chen Xi can't be cowardly anymore. Over the years, the losses I have suffered are always found back. The days I have experienced cannot be described in words, but I know that you know this feeling.

That’s why you didn’t hesitate to use thunder to suppress and slaughter. There is nothing wrong with it. In fact, it should be the case. Once you compromise with the enemy, the first time, there will be a second and a third time. From now on, the Empire Isn’t the country’s national personality about to get dusty?"

The more Zheng Lao said, the more angry he became.

Li Ruoyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is me."

Having said that, the old man is still worried about his safety.

"Ruoyu."

"in."

"Remember your principles. No matter what happens in the future, whether I am or not, you must abide by your principles and cannot give in.

Once a person reaches a certain position, he sees different things. Now, your ability and what you see, perhaps even the old man, I don’t understand.

I just hope that you can keep going like this, and soldiers will come to cover the water.

Once I wanted to live like you, but the enthusiasm in my heart was extinguished by reality time and time again, and I became numb, and then I went to Dark Moon City as a local official.

However, since you appeared, I have found that my heart has begun to liven up again, and I hope that one day, I can see civilization reappear.

I can see the light of science shining on every inch of the land, so that the gods have nowhere to hide, so you can do it, let go of it, and I will stand by the court.

After a few years, they will know whether what you are doing today is right or wrong."

This is a pun.

It is obvious that Mr. Zheng is implicitly expressing something.

Think of the factors of instability this time, involving the four princes, which are almost related to the inheritors of the empire, who knows what other big figures are behind?

Without the compromise of the empress, what would be the current situation?

The female emperor is here, the country should be stable, but this year, no matter how suppressed or killed, these hidden dangers will not be eliminated. They are like weeds, which are endlessly burned and shoveled. When the wind blows, they will take root again. Sprouted.

"Remember, no matter who that person is, don't be afraid, everything is me."
