Chapter 316 Post-event treatment
Nadezhda was not in a hurry about the next arrangements. She planned to talk to Bud first. Bud's attitude would determine what she could get and what she would do next.
Of course, if I could talk to Ke Ling directly, things would be simpler and I could save myself the middle procedure.
But unfortunately, Ke Ling was obviously not interested in this. After briefly explaining it, he disappeared. He really trusted them. Maybe this is what it means to be a strong person.
"General Budd, what vision does Mr. Devil have for the future of the empire?"
Nadezhda is very sensible. Although she cannot talk to Ke Ling directly, Bud is obviously the spokesperson left by Ke Ling. No matter what she wants to do, she can't bypass Bud. Now Bud is the strongest card in her hand.
All her assumptions were based on the fact that Bud was willing to cooperate with her, otherwise they would just be her own imagination.
Fortunately, before leaving, Lord Devil specifically mentioned that she and Bud should handle the follow-up matters together, giving her and Bud equal status, so she could talk with Bud here.
"Master Devil didn't have much to say, but I think we need to first build an administrative structure that can effectively exercise power."
Bud looked at Nadezhda. He had some understanding of this female general. She was both wise and brave, and a leader of the new generation. Nadezhda's previous defection also made headlines in the empire. After all, Nadezhda was quite popular when she worked in the empire.
"Yes, I think so too. We must ensure that the state institutions function normally and minimize the chaos in the empire."
Nadezhda nodded in agreement. Naturally, reducing unrest was the most important thing. Now that Minister Ernest and the little emperor had become prisoners, the big plate of the empire fell into their hands. Now that everything became theirs, they must start thinking about how to reduce the losses.
For example, the "An Ning Dao" must not be allowed to cause chaos, and for example, the "Western foreign races" must be kept outside the country. They must not be allowed to rush into the empire to burn, kill and loot.
As for the "revolutionary army" in the south, Nadezhda felt that some of them could still be used as an aid. That's right, now Nadezhda has automatically cut ties with the "revolutionary army".
There was no other way. In the current situation, they had already successfully seized power through a coup. How could they hand over power to the "revolutionary army"? Now she was the one holding the initiative.
"I will summon all the generals and ministers at all levels to announce that Minister Ernest and the little emperor have been overthrown. Those who should be arrested should be arrested, and those who should be killed should be killed. We will clean up the imperial capital first.
Bud talked about the next arrangements, and when it came to actually doing things, he was very straightforward and decisive.
While most people in the imperial capital are still in the dark and have no idea what has happened in the palace, he uses his prestige to convene a large court meeting to catch Minister Ernest and the royalists in one fell swoop.
"So, what about the throne?"
Nadezhda nodded, approving Bud's approach, and then she mentioned another very important matter, who should sit on the throne? Ke Ling had already said that there was no need to change the system, so there must still be an emperor sitting on the throne.
"I think that Lord Devil should be elected as the new emperor of the empire."
Bud directly expressed his idea. If someone else were to be the emperor, he would definitely be the first one who would be unhappy and would not accept it. It would be too hasty to just pick someone who had no merit and make him the emperor.
But if Lord Devil were to be the emperor, he could accept it, because only Lord Devil was worthy of being the emperor, because Lord Devil had the power to suppress everything.
Moreover, Lord Devil does not need to exploit the people of the empire. He does not have those worldly desires. What he wants is to make the empire strong, so that people can have more energy to do research and more talents can emerge in the empire, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of re-creating the imperial weapon.
If the empire is in chaos, people have to worry about their lives every day, and work hard to have a bite of food every day, then it goes without saying that people will have the leisure to study these things? This is obviously not in line with Ke Ling's core pursuit.
Budd had no doubt as to whether Ke Ling had the worldly desires of an ordinary emperor and whether he was in the "period when Wang Mang was humble and had not yet usurped the throne". He saw this point very clearly.
Besides, isn’t it normal for an immortal with immense power, an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years, to not have the worldly desires of ordinary people?
Although Ke Ling looks like a handsome young man, in Bud's heart, he does not regard Ke Ling as a young man. Who knows how long this immortal person has lived?
In Bud's opinion, Lord Devil's current strength is definitely the result of the tempering of time. Age may have lost its meaning to Lord Devil a long time ago.
"Mr. Devil wants to be the emperor of the empire?"
Nadezhda took a deep breath. She felt that it was not like that at all. Lord Devil acted very freely and didn't seem to care about the throne or the country at all. Therefore, this idea was most likely Bud's own idea.
However, this issue cannot be ignored, because sometimes, those in power really cannot be too eager or greedy.
Therefore, some words and some things can only be left to her subordinates. She cannot guarantee that this is not the idea of Lord Devil. What if he arranged it?
"It's my own idea. I don't approve of someone else being the emperor. Are you still thinking of letting someone from the Revolutionary Army take the throne?"
Bud was straightforward and spoke directly.
"Don't even think about it. We'll definitely have to fight those people from the Revolutionary Army when they arrive. Lord Devil said that he wants to take back all the imperial weapons. Do you think the people from the Revolutionary Army will honestly hand them over?"
Bud's expression was serious and he spoke very seriously. He knew that the battle was far from over. Next, no matter whether it was the "Revolutionary Army", "Western Alien Nationalities" or "An Ning Dao", they would definitely have to fight in order to "release military power".
"."
Nadezhda stopped talking. She felt as if Bud was pointing at her. She was also a major holder of imperial weapons, [Night Attack]!
The "Revolutionary Army", "Western Foreign Nationalities" and "An Ning Dao" all have to hand over their imperial weapons, so can she and [Night Raid] not have to?
"I understand, but there's no need to rush, right? If we do this right away, I think they'll all be very resistant."
As far as Nadezhda's heart was concerned, she actually supported the "Imperial Tool Recycling Plan". After all, she had mentioned this matter to Ke Ling before, and the two had reached a consensus on it. However, she was not in a hurry to do it. She would wait until the situation stabilized before doing anything.
How could the "military power" be easily "released" when everyone still felt insecure? Everyone was still suspicious of each other, so how could they just give up their power?
"It's not up to them."
Bud's answer was straightforward and he insisted on the point that the imperial instruments had to be handed over. In Bud's view, the scattered imperial instruments had become a source of serious impact on the peace of the empire.
In Bud's eyes, it was because of the power of the Teigu that these inexplicable local forces dared to come out and cause trouble. If there were no Teigu users, these resistance forces would not be worth mentioning at all, after all, not everyone is as terrifying as Lord Devil.
"Okay, then I will notify the revolutionary army to enter Beijing."
There was no choice but for Nadezhda to agree to this condition. She still wanted to work with Bud to build a new government. After all, Bud was a well-known old-fashioned person. Every person in power hoped to have such a caring partner.
Of course, he doesn't like people who do evil things like Minister Ernest. Minister Ernest obviously prefers people who have no bottom line.
In other words, he prefers those who have something in mind, so that they can exchange interests with each other and collude with each other. Only such people can get along with him. For example, Esdeath, who is afraid of chaos in the world, can reach a cooperation with Ernest.
"Okay, I'll have someone let them pass, but I won't allow their troops to enter important cities. This is the first test."
Bud nodded and waited to see what the "Revolutionary Army" would think. He was pessimistic and was afraid that the people of the "Revolutionary Army" would not be very honest. Even if they came to the imperial capital without any harm, they would not easily accept the reality.
If they fail to reach an agreement, the Revolutionary Army might just start attacking the city. Now that they have reached the imperial capital, can they resist the idea of giving it a try? As long as they eliminate Budd and Najeta, the Revolutionary Army can regain control.
"Just do your best to obey fate."
Nadezhda sighed. She didn't want to confront her former companions. Although the "Revolutionary Army" was a mixed bag with many southern nobles infiltrating to form a new interest group, there were also some like-minded people among them.
"Where will the grand court meeting be held?"
After talking about the "Revolutionary Army", Nadezhda glanced in the direction of the "Imperial Palace". The "big black bowl" was still there, so it was obviously impossible to hold a grand court meeting in the palace.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Nadezhda felt that the “big black bowl” seemed to have become smaller, as if it was gradually sinking into the ground.
"Wait for me to gather my old subordinates and invite all the ministers to come here for a grand court meeting."
Bud had naturally thought about it. The "big black bowl" was also a deterrent that could make those with ulterior motives behave themselves.
On this side, Bud and Nadezhda began to deal with the aftermath of the empire, while on the other side, Ke Ling had already stopped General Liva who was escaping, but this guy had not yet escaped from the imperial capital.
This guy was holding the imperial weapon [Water Dragon Possession·Black Marlin] in his hand, and Ke Ling had already marked him long ago.
"Esdeath's loyal dog."
Ke Ling didn't have any idea about Riva. Although Riva had some abilities, this guy had become Esdeath's loyal warrior, the kind who would sacrifice his life for Esdeath. Ke Ling didn't have the time to use any tricks to win over his subjects.
"Pfft!"
A black shadow swept in, and Ke Ling's figure appeared. Before Liva could react, a long knife had pierced Liva's throat.
When he saw the black shadow coming out of his body, Liva immediately prepared to condense his own blood and fight to the death, but unfortunately, before he could release it, Ke Ling's long sword had already ended his life directly.
The "Mending Fence" was burning, making Liva's flesh and blood emit a burnt smell. Ke Ling took off the imperial weapon [Water Dragon Possession·Black Marlin], and the imperial weapons of the "Three Beast Warriors" were already in his hands.
In fact, the harvest this time is not limited to these. Counting the three items of [Demon God Appearance·Evil Essence], [Gem Headdress·Ireston], and [National Guardian Mecha God·Supreme Throne], there are a total of six imperial instruments. There is also a multifunctional trap-type one, and one specially for raising dangerous species. They are all in the imperial city. Including these two items, there are a total of eight imperial instruments.
[The Guardian Mecha God·The Supreme Throne] was also found, right under the imperial palace. Ke Ling had been covered in the veil of shadow and was slowly being taken into the "Shadow Realm". With such a large area, it would naturally take some time to take it all in.
However, after gaining the ability of [Poison of the World], this kind of interaction with the world seems to have become easier. It is really poisonous. Even the surrounding world can only adapt to his existence, and the rules of the world have become adapted to his power system.
[Ding! Experience value +280]
[Ding! Experience value is full, level increased to Lv20, current experience: 120/3500.
[Get 1 attribute point. 】
With a crisp sound, the system popped up after a long absence. He finally reached the next level and gained some attribute points.
Without much hesitation, Ke Ling directly added attribute points to agility, and the native agility attribute successfully broke through the 20-point mark.
[When agility reaches 20 points, you can obtain optional special traits. 】
[Optional special traits:
As Light as a Swallow Lv1, exert 1.5 times of own agility.
Instant Movement Lv1: stomping on the ground at high speed dozens of times in a flash, generating explosive reaction force to move at high speed.
Flexibility Lv1, greatly increases body flexibility. 】
Looking at the three optional traits, Ke Ling pondered for a moment. The first one was still a very classic attribute multiplier enhancement trait. As for the second one, for some reason, Ke Ling seemed to see the word "Shave" between the lines. Isn't this the "Shave" in "Six Styles"?
As for the third one, improving body flexibility, this is relatively useless. After all, Ke Ling has just obtained a method of enhancement, and the training method of "Imperial Fist Temple" has similar abilities.
After hesitating for a while, Ke Ling finally chose [Light as a Swallow Lv1]. At least it was a good choice to have the ability to increase attributes multiples.
[Instant Body Movement Lv1] Although it looks good, Ke Ling is playing with "time" after all, so he doesn't really have much need for this ability.
Moreover, he could learn how to shave by himself in the "One Piece" world in the future, so there was really no need to choose here. Choosing [Light as a Swallow Lv1] was the best choice.
