The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2328: King of the Dawn (Part )
Almost everyone reads the word "轞臣" as a derogatory term.

Because it means flattery, it means fawning, it means treachery and fawning... Anyone who is associated with the title of a sycophant will be infamous for eternity and be cursed by countless people.

After all, flattery and fawning mean having no principles, and having no principles means all kinds of underground transactions that cannot be made public, and even crimes and atrocities.

However, when standing from Tang Xiao's perspective, he now just feels that Helmut Zemo, who is called a "flatterer" by many people, is really too cute and too useful!

He would do things that others dared not do, and he would say things that others were too embarrassed to say. And every thing and every word deeply touched upon his ambitions and desires deep in his heart.

If you have such a person around you, he will bear almost all the blame for you and do everything you want to do, no matter how sinful or dirty it is.

So, what about corruption? What about bribery?
For such a person, Tang Xiao can tolerate a little bit of corruption as long as he is not allowed to influence military and national affairs.

What's more, Helmut Zemo is a flatterer, but he is also very capable of getting things done. He knows very well what he can and cannot do, what he should and should not do.

Therefore, if we talk about who Tang Xiao trusts the most, it is definitely Helmut Zemo. This time, the grand drama of the persuasion ceremony organized by him directly touched Tang Xiao's heart from all angles, which made him extremely benefited.

For example, right now, Helmut Zemo has already run to the center of the countless people below the stage. I don't know when he ran over, maybe it was when officials at all levels knelt down to persuade him to come in.

Zemo was heard speaking slowly in his unique magnetic voice: "My Lord, please look... look at all the people around. Look at the entire Principality of Dawn, the 1.2 trillion people who are here and those who are not here."

He opened his hands and said in a compassionate tone: "Among these 1.2 trillion people, almost all of them are poor people who were exploited, plundered, and abandoned by the Galactic Empire. The Galactic Empire burned down their homes, plundered their property, and took them as slaves... These 1.2 trillion people did not reproduce from generation to generation on the land of the Principality of Dawn. Instead, they came from different parts of the Milky Way because they heard about the good life and bright future of the Principality of Dawn and came here..."

"We found our own partners in the Principality of Dawn, formed our own family, and built our own home. It was you who gave us such hope and such reality. But..." Helmut Zemo's words were very clever. He brought himself into the perspective of the people without leaving a trace. At the same time, he changed the subject and said, "We chose to settle down and live in the Principality of Dawn, but at the same time, we also chose to fight the Galactic Empire to the end!"

His tone became extremely solemn. "The Galactic Empire is greedy, brutal, tyrannical, and militaristic. They will never give up any opportunity to plunder wealth! These 1.2 trillion people are 1.2 trillion slaves to the Galactic Empire! They are 1.2 trillion cash cows! We chose the Principality of Dawn, and we chose to say no to such exploitation! We stand here, on the land of the Principality of Dawn, and what we choose is survival! A dignified survival!"

Zemo walked to the front of the crowd as he spoke, and knelt on his knees again. However, this time, he held his head high, looked directly at Tang Xiao in mid-air, and said in an extremely loud voice: "The current false emperor of the Galactic Empire, Palpatine, is showing off his power, burning, killing, and looting, and he claims to be the emperor! Facing such a powerful enemy, you must be respected to fight against him! For the sake of all people in the world, I beg you to ascend the throne and become king!!"

"I beg you, Lord! For the sake of all the people, please ascend the throne!" "I beg you, Lord! For the sake of all the people, please ascend the throne!" Everyone, whether they were civilians or officials, shouted loudly.

Tang Xiao's expression at this moment gradually became firm. He slowly opened his hands and said in a deep voice: "I finally understand your intentions, and I also understand my mistakes... The Principality of Dawn is not a country of one person, and the Fourth Civilization is not a civilization of one person! Everything we created today is the joint creation of these 1.2 trillion people! I should not escape, I should stand up straight and face it bravely!"

"To fight against the Galactic Empire and tyrants like Palpatine, we should be united! One trillion and two hundred billion people are not the end, but the starting point! All the living beings in the Milky Way should be rescued! No one should survive under the exploitation of the Galactic Empire! We should liberate everyone in the Milky Way! And for this goal, we should defeat the Galactic Empire and completely overthrow Palpatine's rule!"

Tang Xiao raised his arms and shouted as he spoke, "I understand! I understand completely! I shouldn't be bound by such conventional etiquette, I should look to the long term! If I can contribute to the fight against the tyranny of the Galactic Empire as a king, then I am willing to be the king! I am willing to lead everyone to destroy the rule of the Galactic Empire and liberate the entire Milky Way!!"

Helmut Zemo shouted loudly, "Long live the King of the Dawn!"

"Long live the King of the Dawn!"

"Long live the King of the Dawn!"

"Long live the King of Dawn!" Countless people shouted like a tsunami, and the King of Dawn's voice almost shook the entire planet! It will also shake the entire galaxy along with the spread of the holographic network!
Tang Xiao waved his hand fiercely and said sternly: "From today on, I am the King of Dawn! My territory is the Kingdom of Dawn! All etiquette will be kept simple! The King of Dawn is not the King of pleasure, but the King of victory! From today on, I will march towards the center of the Milky Way without stopping! Until I set foot on the planet Coruscant and personally cut off the head of the false emperor Palpatine! ”

"Long live the King of the Dawn!"

"Long live the King of the Dawn!"

Amidst the cheers of countless people, on August 11, 8 BBY, the Principality of Dawn officially became history. From this day on, it made its debut as the Kingdom of Dawn!

And the former Grand Duke of Dawn, Tang Xiao, has now ascended the throne and become the King of Dawn!
And from this moment on, they clearly regarded the Galactic Empire as their biggest enemy. Destroying the Galactic Empire and beheading Palpatine was the ultimate goal of the Kingdom of Dawn and the Lord of Dawn!
This war, known as the Second Civil War in the Milky Way, also completely evolved into...

Total War! (End of this chapter)
