Book 9: The Rebellious Apostle Chapter 007 Chaos
Half an hour later, Hong Gu and Zhou Xianglin listened to Li Xingke's story silently, and the two were speechless for a long time.
Hong Gu slapped his thigh and couldn't help sighing, "First, the eunuchs monopolized power, causing the people to live in misery. Later, a mysterious man came to hypnotize the eunuchs, manipulate the emperor, and use the emperor to control the princes. What on earth has become of our great Chinese Federation? Why is it so miserable?"
Zhou Xianglin also had an expression that showed she had something to complain about.
However, after Li Xingke finished telling all his troubles and venting his depression, he regained his confidence and said slowly: "This may not be an opportunity."
Hong Gu was a rough man, and his brain was not as good as Li Xingke's. When he heard Li Xingke say that this was an opportunity, he immediately cheered up and said, "I would like to hear more about it."
Li Xingke said, "The mysterious prime minister asked me to seize Gao Hai's resources and power and to place his own people in all key departments. I suspect he has only one purpose."
Zhou Xianglin immediately said: "You suspect that he wants to hypnotize you."
Li Xingke nodded. This was the conclusion he came to after repeated consideration.
As for why it was himself and not others, he also thought about it. He was not bragging. Although he, Li Xingke, was not in a high position, he was superior to others in both bravery and wisdom.
So it is natural that the other party takes a fancy to me.
Hong Gu suddenly realized, "Yes, if you take over the power of the eunuchs, the mysterious prime minister only needs to hypnotize you, and you will obey him, then the whole empire will fall into his hands."
Li Xingke said: "So, I can take back the power in the hands of the eunuchs, but I absolutely cannot place my own people in every department. We must strike a balance."
Hong Gu asked, "What are you going to do?"
Li Xingke replied: "With the help of the power of the noble families and by offering them enough benefits, we will let them fight against the mysterious prime minister. We will quietly accumulate enough strength in the dark and purge the emperor's side!!"
Zhou Xianglin said slowly: "This is not an easy task, and those noble families are not kind people."
“I know.” Li Xingke understood what the aristocratic families were better than anyone else. “They are a group of hungry wolves, but so far, in order to prevent the Chinese Federation from falling into the hands of this mysterious prime minister, we can only use them to fight against the mysterious prime minister.”
Hong Gu couldn't help but open his eyes wide and said, "You are playing with fire, Xingke."
As a general of the Chinese Federation, how could he not know the greed of the aristocratic families? Although these guys are currently suppressed by the eunuchs and are completely unable to fight against them, once they gain power, they will definitely be more difficult to deal with than the eunuchs.
Li Xingke shook his head and said, "I am not playing with fire, because I know very well that those noble families are no match for the mysterious prime minister."
Hong Gu and Zhou Xianglin were stunned.
Li Xingke continued, "Even the eunuchs who suppressed the noble families were no match for the mysterious prime minister. How could a group of noble families who had just gained power possibly defeat this mysterious prime minister?"
Zhou Xianglin immediately understood Li Xingke's idea, "I know, you want to delay time."
Li Xingke said: "That's right. I will offer enough benefits to get the noble families involved. I want them to fight against the mysterious prime minister. When they are defeated, we must have enough power to launch a coup, eliminate the treacherous officials, and clear the emperor's side! Save the emperor from the other side."
Hong Gu clapped his hands and said, "Well, you are worthy of me, Li Xingke. What do you say? I am willing to follow you."
Li Xingke said slowly: "It's very simple, I will push you to the top..."
…
In the next few days, the entire Chinese Federation reported one big news after another, stirring up the situation at home and abroad.
First, the emperor dismissed the current prime minister and appointed a man named Emiya as the new prime minister.
Then, a guy named Li Xingke defeated Gao Hai, one of the great eunuchs, and began to consolidate the power of Gao Hai's subordinates, becoming the new upstart of the Chinese Federation.
What’s interesting is that the other eunuchs who should have shared the same hatred for the enemy did not make any move. They seemed to have become statues, just watching from the sidelines.
What’s even more interesting is that Li Xingke, who had come to power, began to win over a group of aristocratic families that were suppressed by the eunuchs . He promised them many benefits and made several families stand on Li Xingke’s side.
The situation in the entire Chinese Federation can be said to change three times a day. This surprised the Britannia Empire and the EU, and the spies hidden in the dark began to move frequently.
Everyone began to pay attention to the changes in the Chinese Federation.
To be honest, as an insider, Emiya did not see Li Xingke's operation clearly. After all, he was a complete novice in political struggle.
However, he realized that Li Xingke seemed to be targeting him.
If it were someone else, they might call Li Xingke over and give him a good scolding, and then warn him, but Emiya didn't care, because Emiya and Li Xingke were not on the same level.
Li Xingke could only see the Emperor, and always believed that Wei Gong had kidnapped the Emperor.
But what Emiya was looking at was indeed the Chinese Federation. As long as the Chinese Federation could rise, it didn't matter what Li Xingke did. Even if he got into trouble in the end, he could still take action to restore order.
So after Li Xingke accepted all of Gao Hai's power and support, Wei Gong asked him to accept the resources of the second eunuch.
Li Xingke was naturally busy again.
The fall of the second eunuch surprised the top leaders of the Chinese Federation even more.
Because they found that after the second eunuch collapsed, the other eunuchs still did not take any action.
The people under these eunuchs can no longer sit still. Their power and the eunuchs have long formed a very close relationship. If this group of eunuchs falls, they will also fall.
So this group of people, like people on fire, gathered in front of the eunuchs, making plans and trying to turn the situation around. Even if they could not turn the situation around in the end, they would still take over the power of the fallen eunuchs.
At least it can't be given to outsiders for free.
Li Xingke naturally knew clearly what this group of people were thinking, but today Li Xingke was no longer an ordinary guard, but a new upstart with a group of people supporting him.
So he did not hesitate to beat back all those who wanted to take advantage of him.
The changes in the entire Chinese Federation became more and more complicated, which made many people feel very confused. However, there was a group of smart people who saw the situation and found that the chaos in the Chinese Federation started after the appearance of the mysterious prime minister.
Therefore, this mysterious prime minister must be closely related to the current chaos and is likely to be a very important figure.
As long as we understand the identity and origin of this mysterious prime minister and his purpose, we can naturally see what is going on in the chaos of the Chinese Federation.
As a result, the spies hidden in the dark became more and more rampant, looking for all information related to the mysterious prime minister.
Emiya was well aware of this.
Because his whereabouts in Luoyang had been spied on more than once, but Shirou never cared. After all, he came from another world, and people in this world could not find his information.
It's just a waste of effort.
He himself was sitting on the Diaoyutai, watching the changing situation outside, and even did not forget to make his presence felt in the chat group.
Emiya@Dr. Agasa: "This is the manufacturing information of the mobile suit. I sent it to the group."
Loki: "Mobile Suit, is it a mecha?"
Emiya answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is a mecha, a Knightmare to be exact."
Loki rubbed his temple and said, "It sounds familiar. Which animation is it from?"
Hephaestus responded, "If I remember correctly, it should be Lelouch of the Rebellion."
Loki immediately responded: "I remember now, it's the world with GEASS. The GEASS in that world is very interesting and can even interfere with time."
Suzumiya Haruhi: "Is it a Gundam? Is it a Gundam? I want to drive a Gundam."
Emiya corrected, "It's not a Gundam, it's a mecha."
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't quite understand: "Is there any difference between the two?"
Emiya explained: "In my opinion, the scope of mecha is broader. For example, Gundam is actually a type of mecha, and Knightmare is also a type of mecha, and EVA is also a type of mecha, but EVA is not a Knightmare, and it is not a Gundam."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "I see, that's what it means. In other words, mecha is a general term, which includes the Gundam series, EVA series, etc., right?"
Emiya: "Yes, at least that's what I think."
Suzumiya Haruhi said excitedly: "No matter how they are related, in short, I only have one thing to say, Coach, I want to drive a mecha!!"
Emiya agreed generously: "You'll be included. Anyone else who wants to drive a mecha?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately sent two pictures of her hands raised: "Coach, I want to drive a mecha too."
Emiya: "Okay, who else?"
Loki: "Me, me, I want me too. I want to drive a mecha too."
Weiss: "It seems interesting to drive a mecha. I want to drive a mecha too."
Mai Zhuo: "Since Weiss has agreed, count me in as well, boss."
Emiya couldn't help but sigh, thinking something was wrong: "Don't they say that men should drive Gundams? Why are Haruhi Suzumiya, Shizuka Hiratsuka, Ves, Magee, and Loki all women? Isn't there a single man in the group who wants to drive a mecha? Where's your romance?"
Cu Chulainn: "Master, even if you say so, I only like to fight with the strong, and I have no interest in mechas."
Furinji Hayato: "I also only like physical combat, and I have no interest in mechas."
Finn: "I'm busy with business at the moment and can't spare the time."
Dojima Gin: "Same, I'm busy with work and can't spare the time."
Yi Xiao said: "I'm catching pirates. I'm busy with work and can't spare the time."
Tanjiro Kamado: "By the way, what is a mecha? Why do men have to drive a Gundam?"
Emiya couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything above. Is there anyone else who would like to sign up?"
