"Yeah, definitely not sending troops. Let alone sending troops. The old emperor is critically ill. She only has a six-year-old daughter. Right now, the entire Chinese Federation is about to usher in a reshuffle of power. The Chinese Federation is too busy to take care of itself. Thinking about sending troops?"

"Hee hee, it's a pity that the Britannians don't know, and they will be worried if they know. Even if there is a slight possibility, they will try to obliterate it, so as to ensure that they can eat the fat of Japan first."

"Tsk tsk, not bad, Yui, continue to grow, you can be my staff."

"And what about the wife?"

"no!"

"Ugh—Yui is not happy."

……

After the transaction was completed, Momo and Odysseus seemed to be more acquainted, which made Gao Hai look hot and suspicious.What made him jealous was that he was still unable to intervene, and it was not convenient for him to chat with the two of them. What made him suspicious was whether Mo Mo had good communication skills, or did he have some shady deal with Odysseus behind the scenes?

However, he can only doubt it. Right now, these two people are not small people that he can question.

The plane finally landed. The capital airport in Luoyang of the Federation of China is magnificent. Mo Mo thought he had returned to China in his previous life at a glance.

It seems that no matter where you go, the oriental habit of decorating the facade is always indispensable.

However, compared to the magnificent airport, there are not many planes taking off and landing on the entire airport. Originally, Mo Mo thought it was because their arrival temporarily closed the airport, but after a while, Mo Mo found out that the people flying in the entire Chinese Federation also Not many.

As soon as he got off the plane, Mo Mo saw the huge welcome team, but Mo Mo, who was used to the big Chinese military parades in his previous life, naturally didn't care about this group of people who were still holding long guns and hanging long swords as decorations Odysseus was slightly taken aback by the welcome team, and then praised them again and again.

However, what caught Mo Mo's attention the most were the seven eunuchs standing in front of the welcoming team.

Zhao Hao, Xia Wang, Cheng Zhong, Xiang Sheng, Cai Lishi, Tong Lun, Huang Qian.

The seven great eunuchs all appeared on the stage, each of them had formulaic smiles on their faces, but Ke Qi's eyes were looking at Mo Mo and Gao Hai, as if they were calculating something.

What exactly is the so-called great eunuch of the Chinese Federation?

In 216 A.D., Cao Cao, who can be called the possessor of the traverser, wiped out Eastern Wu in the Battle of Chibi, and then Western Shu surrendered, reunifying the disintegrated Han Dynasty.However, the most amazing place is that in 216 AD, Cao Cao established a constitutional monarchy system, making the emperor the highest symbol of national etiquette and patriarchal law, and the administrative power must be executed by the prime minister.

If Cao Cao is really not a time traveler, all of this is not a coincidence, then the only reasonable explanation is that Cao Cao has the ability of Geass, his Geass can see the future scene thousands of years or even thousands of years later, and then learn from the future knowledge Absorb knowledge as the capital for him to become a hero and create a constitutional monarchy.

Moreover, Cao Cao did not proclaim himself emperor. Even though Liu Bang's descendants, the Liu family, had lost their blood during the war, Cao Cao still found a Jiang surname closest to Liu Bang's blood to be the emperor, and he was only acting as the prime minister.

Not only that, he also ordered his son Cao Pi and all descendants of the Cao surname to be unable to claim the title of emperor, and to serve as prime ministers at most to assist the emperor.

Perhaps, this kind of weird order is probably because Cao Cao saw from the future that the Cao family will inevitably be destroyed after becoming emperor, and that if they do not become emperor, they will survive for a long time.

In this way, the Jiang family became the royal family of China, which has lasted for nearly 800 years. Cao Cao’s descendants later declined, and they could no longer occupy the position of prime minister. They chose to retreat to the northeast and became a local warlord. It is now the Liaodong Military Area of ​​the Federation of China.

However, the constitutional monarchy system in 216 AD was more of a child's play no matter how you think about it.A system must conform to the actual situation of history. In 216 AD, almost everyone was uninformed. The modern system of constitutional monarchy was more of a formality at that time.

After the Cao family fell behind, the royal Jiang family was naturally unwilling to be just a mascot, but wanted to be the emperor with real power, so the struggle between imperial power and prime minister power began. This kind of struggle also accompanied the history of the Chinese Empire. It has continued until now.

The tools of the royal family's struggle with the former prime minister and the current cabinet are eunuchs and relatives.

In the long years, sometimes the royal family was dominant, and sometimes the cabinet was strong. The two sides saw each other, but it ensured that the imperial power would not be overwhelmed, and the country would not be completely controlled by a group of interest groups. Perhaps this is the reason why the Chinese Empire has lasted until now.

However, the imperial power of the Chinese Federation is currently facing the greatest risk.

As if cursed, the royal Jiang family has gradually declined over the years. All relatives who held military power died one after another, and the military power was annexed by the nearby family warlords.

The royal family, which had been withering day by day due to various reasons, now has only two people.

The old emperor was one, as was his only daughter Jiang Lihua.

Of course, there are still aristocrats with the surname Jiang, but those are scattered branches. I don’t know how many generations they have left the royal family.

Right now, the old emperor is critically ill. Judging from the time of the original book, he will probably die this year or next year. In this way, only the poor Jiang Lihua is left in the 800-year-long Jiang family.

Under such circumstances, the only thing the Jiang family can rely on is the eunuch.Ever since, the current great eunuch can be said to have grasped all the powers in place of the emperor, not only the administrative power, but even the military power in his hands.

However, the military power that the emperor can mobilize is only the garrisons in Luoyang and the surrounding areas. In fact, all the places are in a state of separatism by aristocratic warlords, but they still obey the emperor on the surface.

This is also the reason why Gao Hai was expelled from the Forbidden City of Zhu. As a later superior, the eunuchs who are already in power, who are willing to give Gao Hai the little military power in their hands?

051 Pull the flag, pull the tiger skin

The current Chinese Federation can be said to be on the verge of disintegration.

If the great eunuchs around Jiang Lihua were all loyal eunuchs who were loyal to the imperial power, it might be able to guarantee that Jiang Lihua would grow up, and then Jiang Lihua would marry into a family, such as the Cao family.

In this way, the introduction of a powerful family can strengthen the imperial power and allow the Jiang surname to continue to maintain the imperial power.

However, this is only if.

After all, the military power held by the eunuch is really pitifully small, even equivalent to the strength of one or two warlords.

Moreover, none of the eight great eunuchs in power has anything to do with the word loyalty. Coupled with the changes and wars in the entire world, they even chose to join Britannia directly in the second season of the original book. , even the emperor can be used as a bargaining chip.

If it weren't for the fact that the warlords themselves are fighting each other, there are only two superpowers left in the world, EU and Britannia, which can completely destroy the Chinese Federation. This kind of superficial peace has long been unmaintainable.

Everyone kept quiet and maintained the imperial power, at most it was to maintain the last dignity of the Chinese Federation, a great empire, to resist Britannia and the EU.

Perhaps, the only thing that is gratifying about the Chinese Federation is that it has a long history of about 800 years, so that all ordinary people in the Chinese Empire agree with the two words "Son of Heaven" and "Zhonghua" from the bottom of their hearts.

The seven people in front of Mo Mo, together with Gao Hai beside him, are the eight great eunuchs of the Chinese Federation, who truly hold the imperial power and represent the imperial power.And the cabinet of the Federation of China is the spokesperson of the aristocratic families from all over the world.

This is the status quo of the Chinese Federation.

Being greeted by seven eunuchs at the same time did not surprise Mo Mo. After all, in the second season of the original book, Odysseus was greeted by seven eunuchs in person. very ugly.

"Father, seven great eunuchs greeted you at the same time... This is beyond the Chinese Federation's rules. After all, the great eunuchs have different responsibilities and powers. In addition, Gao Hai can be greeted by eight great eunuchs at the same time, theoretically. It should be only the Son of Heaven."

"So that's how it is," Momo nodded upon hearing Yui's supplementary point, and said, "Sure enough, traitors are not trained in a day, and this group of great eunuchs already have the ambition to curry favor with Britannia and leave a way out." Alright."

"However, why is Gao Hai's face so ugly?"

Soon, Momo knew the answer.

Seven eunuchs came up to say hello to Odysseus. After some conversation, it stands to reason that Odysseus, as a guest, should go to the guest house in the Forbidden City of Zhu under the guidance of the eunuchs to wait for the emperor to summon him.

However, at this time, one of the great eunuchs, Zhao Hao, who was also the oldest eunuch, saluted Odysseus respectfully and said, "Your Highness, please wait for a while, we have to deal with our The internal affairs of the Chinese Federation."

Odysseus was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Momo. He promised to take care of Momo, so he would naturally use his power.

However, although Odysseus is not smart enough, he still has a good eye for dealing with people. He immediately found that the seven eunuchs were staring at Gao Hai with unfriendly eyes.

He understood that this was aimed at Gao Hai.

"That's natural. The affairs of the Chinese Federation should naturally be handled by you. Mr. Qilin, let's step aside."

Seeing that Odysseus respected Momo so much, the eunuchs were a little surprised, but they put the surprise aside for the time being, and looked at Gao Hai with smiles on their faces.

Gao Hai's face was as black as ink.

"Gao Hai, are you guilty?"

Zhao Hao asked, but Gao Hai shook his head, and said: "The miscellaneous family is not guilty, but the miscellaneous family escorted Odysseus to the Chinese Federation to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. What crime is there?"

"quibble!"

Zhao Hao immediately spoke harshly, saying: "As the Consul General of the Chinese Federation in Japan, he is an important official stationed abroad. Returning to Beijing without permission is tantamount to treason!"

Gao Hai narrowed his eyes when he heard the word "conspiracy against the enemy", he stared at Zhao Hao viciously, and said, "You are spitting blood! I am just the Minister of Foreign Affairs, how can I count together with the officials of the frontier, and I It's just to send Britannia's first prince to Luoyang, it's business, so why is he returning to Beijing privately!"

"Hmph, how dare you quibble! Isn't the foreign minister a high-ranking official? At the foot of the Son of Heaven, could it be the king's land? The Forbidden City of Zhu is in Luoyang. If you return to Luoyang, you are not returning to Beijing! Moreover, you did not have anyone's permission to return to Beijing." of!"

Mo Mo curled his lips, and Odysseus also showed a surprised expression.Because Zhao Hao obviously misunderstood the definition of certain laws and deliberately threw some charges on Gao Hai.

Faced with such a crime and the censure of the other seven eunuchs, Gao Hai almost vomited blood angrily.

He already knew that he would be made things difficult by the other seven people when he returned to Beijing.But because he has already agreed with Mo Mo, he still has some confidence.

But now, the seven great eunuchs are obviously more vicious than he imagined, and the charge of treason is directly charged, which is a 100% death penalty.

"Miscellaneous..."

Gao Hai searched his brains and tried to defend himself, but Zhao Hao didn't give Gao Hai a chance to speak.

"Come on, take down this damn rebellion for me, and His Majesty the Son of Heaven will personally send it down!"

"As ordered!"

The guards behind the seven eunuchs immediately took orders, without the slightest hesitation, a group of people rushed towards Gao Hai immediately.

"You... How dare you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Ah!"

Gao Hai still wanted to struggle, but how could he be the opponent of the Imperial Forest Army, he was directly kicked into the knee socket by the leading officer, and fell to the ground.

The guards rushed forward, and Gao Hai was immediately tied up and gagged, and then he was carried down like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

In the end, Gao Hai could only turn his eyes to Mo Mo, his eyes were full of pleading, after all, he and Mo Mo had already discussed, and the two of them would make big news when they came back.

Mo Mo shrugged and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Gao, His Majesty the Son of Heaven will definitely make a fair decision, and I am also a trustworthy person."

Mo Mo's words brightened Gao Hai's eyes, as if he took this sentence as his life-saving straw.If there were no such words, Gao Hai would really think that he had actually fallen into Mo Mo's trap, and Mo Mo and the rest of the eunuchs joined forces to deal with him.

Gao Hai was carried away, but Mo Mo's words attracted the attention of the other eunuchs.

Originally, they only knew the name Qilin and didn't know Mo Mo's identity. Now that they saw Mo Mo standing beside Odysseus, they felt even more suspicious.

What is the origin of this Momo?

Could it be someone from Gaohai?

But it seems that he is on an equal footing with Gao Hai, and he is also on an equal footing with Odysseus.

When did the Chinese Federation have such a character, who is he?

The orders they received from the emperor did not mention the existence of the unicorn. Could it be that the unicorn fell from the sky?

The great eunuchs approached the truth unintentionally, but unfortunately they could not believe this truth as a fact.

Because Odysseus also saw the eyes of several people.

In order to support Mo Mo, Odysseus immediately spoke, saying: "My lords, although I'm sorry, we are already very tired from the journey. I wonder if you can arrange for me to rest with Mr. Qilin?"

The seven eunuchs were taken aback for a moment. They dared not refuse to agree to Odysseus's request. They immediately nodded in agreement, and the group of people finally started walking.

However, after walking a few steps, Zhao Hao, the leader, couldn't help asking: "Lord Odysseus, Mister Qilin..."

Before Zhao Hao's question was finished, Odysseus interrupted Zhao Hao with a smile, and said, "Mr. Qilin has contributed a lot this time, and what he holds is what my father and Mr. Qilin have. The original agreed agreement."

"I think that even the emperor of your country will be very happy to see Mr. Qilin again. Maybe this time Mr. Qilin will really fly into the sky."

Hearing Odysseus Xu's plausible praise, Momo responded with a smile and said, "Well, it's all thanks to Your Highness for your support. Don't worry, I will definitely relay the words of His Majesty the Emperor of Britannia. For our emperor, His Majesty."

"That's good. In addition, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zhao. I hope to see His Majesty the Son of Heaven as soon as possible. After all, District 11 still needs my presence."

Mo Mo and Odysseus pulled the banner and dragged Charles out, which made Zhao Hao stunned. Although he still didn't know Mo Mo's identity, but because Mo Mo wanted to report They had to pay attention to what Emperor Charles of Britannia said.

They also didn't believe that Momo would tell lies. After all, Odysseus was there to help. Would Odysseus still be bought by Momo?

The only doubt is Mo Mo's identity, what is Mo Mo's origin, and what is the relationship with the dying emperor?

Although the seven great eunuchs are gradually not paying attention to the emperor, the old emperor is still alive after all. As long as he gives an order, the imperial forest army in Luoyang will definitely chop the seven of them into meat paste.

Although they also controlled the military power, they were all garrisons around Luoyang. The [-] Imperial Forest Army in Luoyang and the Forbidden City of Zhu were still controlled by the lower-level officers personally selected by the emperor.

This is also the only power that makes the eunuchs afraid at the moment.

However, the emperor will die soon, and when Jiang Lihua, a six-year-old girl, comes to power, Luoyang's [-] Imperial Forest Army will also become a decoration at that time, and the eunuchs' desire for power will really swell at that time to the limit.

Several big eunuchs looked at each other and had already confirmed each other's thoughts.

Although I don't know where this unicorn came from, it's just one person, even if it is really arranged by the old emperor, it can't change the overall situation.

Moreover, just because if Mo Mo is the old emperor's secret person, they can't stop Mo Mo from meeting the old emperor, or will their disobedience be revealed soon?

"In that case," Zhao Hao nodded, and said, "This is how the servants reported to His Majesty the Son of Heaven. I think His Majesty the Son of Heaven will also receive the two of you as soon as possible."

052 Little Jiang Lihua

After that, the eunuchs didn't question Mo Mo's identity any more. After all, they are not really in charge now, so they dare not be unscrupulous.

The group of people entered the guest house in the Forbidden City of Zhu and temporarily settled down. As a guest house specially entertaining foreign guests, it was also magnificent.If Mo Mo hadn't seen the scenery along the way just now, maybe he would even really think that the Chinese Federation is actually a rich country.

Although I have seen a few shots in the original book, Mo Mo still couldn't believe it until he actually saw it all.

Luoyang is the capital of the Chinese Federation, and Suzaku City is in the center of Luoyang.Therefore, even if Luoyang, the capital, is not the wealthiest city in the Chinese Federation, it should at least have a considerable level of urban construction, not a super class, not a first-tier city. It is not too much to look at Luoyang as a second-tier city, right?

However, what did Momo see in Luoyang?

The main theme of the whole city is low classical two-storey buildings. In Mo Mo's previous life, it was a rather distinctive ancient village scenery, and it might attract a large number of tourists because of its rarity.

However, in the current Chinese Federation, this is the most common scenery in the entire Chinese Federation city. Perhaps it can be understood that the Chinese Federation of this world has changed its character and become a classical architecture lover who no longer pursues large-scale construction. In an old house that may have a history of hundreds of years, they are unwilling to move into a modern building.

However, Mo Mo is more willing to believe that this is a manifestation of the extreme poverty of the entire Chinese Federation.
