Just after leaving the Science Academy and preparing to return to the Imperial Palace, a fast horse galloped on the street.
"Get out of the way, get out of my way, messengers, hurry up, messengers, hurry up."
A messenger drove a fast horse and galloped very fast. There were many blood marks on the horse's body, and the horse's mouth and nose were panting white.
When the carriages or rickshaws on the road saw such fast horses, they all fled away.
Just when they were about to curse, they saw the command flag on the messenger's body. What they wanted to say was swallowed hard by them.
"Your Majesty, messengers seems very urgent?"
The faces of the generals beside Yun Yun suddenly changed when they saw the five command flags of different colors carried behind the messenger.
"Go back to the palace."
Messengers would not dare to carry the five-color flag.
This five-color flag appeared when the four great empires attacked the Mighty Kingdom and they kicked all four of their asses. The flag has not appeared since then.
Several ministers who were handling government affairs in the imperial palace heard that a messenger was carrying a five-color flag and rushing into the imperial capital. They immediately put down their work and rushed to the Imperial Palace- ten minutes later...
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, a month ago, the old king passed away. That night, there was no one in the city to feed the people, more than a million were starving."
The messenger's face was pale, and he was being supported by two soldiers of the Royal Imperial Army, looking sad.
"What did you say?" Hearing this, Yun Yun, who had just run to the palace, looked at the messenger in front of him with shock in his eyes.
Uncle Chen, is he dead?
Several ministers looked at the messenger with disbelief.
The old king passed away? And with more than a million who need his help?
"This is the handwriting of the king himself."
The messenger quickly handed over the bamboo tube he was holding tightly in his hand, kneeling for His Majesty.
The maid with great beauty after spending time with Yun Yun, who had been changed to the secretary-general, walked down quickly, took the bamboo tube, and walked back to hand it to the emperor.
Yun Yun opened the bamboo tube, took out the letter inside, and looked at the contents of the letter with a gloomy expression on his face.
"It is decreed that all flags in the empire's cities will be flown at half-length for the King of the West and his people who are in distress."
"Withdrawing the title of King of the West will not be hereditary, and making Sheng Li, the grandson of King of the West, Marquis of the West, will not be hereditary. The body of the King of the West is to be transported back to the imperial capital, cremated, and his ashes scattered throughout the empire."
The words fell. Several ministers were stunned.
The Justice Minister was relieved after being shocked.
He is not very enthusiastic about having another royal title, his ambition is to carry on the unique knowledge of the scholars and teach others. The throne cannot realize his ambition and he also knew that his grandfather cared about the entire empire, and even if he died, he would still protect the country they had built.
"Your Majesty, King of the West was granted the title by the late emperor, and he was cremated and scattered throughout the empire. Is it possible that..."
The Prime Minister hesitated to speak. This was granted by the late emperor.
"This is the request of the King of the West." Yun Yun said in a deep voice. What the King of the West asked him before his death. He can only be satisfied.
Moreover, the King of the West personally supervised the disaster relief.
Suddenly-All the ministers dared not speak.
"Minister Li."
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Go to the Western Lands in person and bring the King of the West back to me." Yun Yun looked at the nephew below who was only in his early twenties and became the Minister of Justice of the Supreme Mighty Empire with his true talents and knowledge.
His parents are both heroes of his Supreme Mighty Empire.
They once died on the battlefield in the decisive battle with the Chu Empire.
"My lord, take your orders."
Although Sheng Li is only in his twenties, he has been the Minister of Justice for several years and can already control his emotions very well. He needed to personally take his grandpa back from the land of Western Lands. Take him back to his hometown where he was born and raised.
"Prime Minister, immediately mobilize supplies and personally transport them to the Western Lands for me. We must ensure that the victims will not freeze to death and starve to death in the coming severe cold. Otherwise, I will only have to execute you to please the public."
Yun Yun looked at the Prime Minister.
"Old minister, take your majesty decree!"
Hearing this, the prime minister, who was almost sixty years old, bowed and saluted. His body was still strong, wasn't he just going to the Western Lands for a trip?
He will go, standing tall and firm! As the prime minister of the empire, he needs to understand the people's livelihood, events, culture, and customs in various places, and make corresponding adjustments and plans.
"Your Majesty, now that the King of the West has passed away, who will be sent to take over the million-strong army of the Western Lands and guard the more than 50 million square kilometers of the Western Lands?"
said the Chancellor.
Although Western Lands cover more than 50 million square kilometers, the actual living area is only a few million square kilometers because most of it has no fertile soil.
A million troops are enough to guard it.
The dense forests and lofty mountains are a true reflection of the Wilderness.
The current Supreme Mighty Empire cannot fully develop the Wilderness Continent that is connected to the western lands.
"I have my plans. Everyone, let's deal with these things!" Yun Yun sliced his hand midway and his cape raised like a British monarch commanding his people.
"We shall carry out your orders, Your Majesty!"
…
this day.
The news came from the palace, shocking the world.
The Grand Marshal of Mighty Kingdom, the only old king in the royal family who fought, and the King of the West Sheng Chen passed away.
Many retired soldiers and civilians who were injured during the Great War were heartbroken.
Some had been trampled by the King of the West's iron fist and those who were still thinking of rebelling against the empire and restoring their old empire, were very happy.
The veterans that the Supreme Mighty Empire can fight are getting old and dying one by one from old age.
Just waiting at how long that tyrant can run.
Moreover, the tyrant is already forty-three years old and has no heirs. If the tyrant dies, doesn't it mean that the Supreme Mighty Empire will inevitably fall apart?
The most hateful thing is that the tyrant does not pursue marriage, otherwise they would not mind changing their identities, going to the palace to pretend to be a fertile female who can get married, and refining some poison pills for him, so that the tyrant can ascend to heaven as soon as possible.
As for whether depriving the Kings of hereditary succession will cause clan disputes?
The clan had already been killed, exiled, and relegated to common people when the emperor ascended the throne. How can there be any clan?
Royal Garden-Yun Yun sat in the imperial garden, enjoying the afternoon sunshine and closing his eyes tightly.
The death of his uncle had a great impact on the entire empire. Similarly, it also shows that there are fewer and fewer veterans to accompany him in his life.
"Your Majesty, Ao Xing wants to see you."
At this time, the secretary-general whispered in the emperor's ear.
"Let him come over."
"It will be done." She winked at him and quickly ran over to Xing.
Soon the general with a heroic face, wearing armor, and a flash of wisdom in his eyes walked in from outside the imperial garden.
"The last grand general, Ao Xing, meets your majesty. Your majesty will live forever."
"No need for courtesy." Yun Yun waved his hand, opened his eyes, looked at this heroic young man, and said, "You should know that the King of the West has fallen."
"The general already knows about it, and I sincerely ask for your majesty's permission. The general will go to western lands to pick up my teacher and take him home."
Ao Xing said.
"You go and take over the position of the King of the West, and take charge of the millions of troops guarding the Western Lands for me, as well as the continent of the Western Lands. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for me at this time will be killed. If you are not up to the task, then there's no need to come back."
Yun Yun looked at the heroic young man in front of him, and there was no hesitation in his eyes.
"This... general, after receiving the order, will live up to your majesty's trust and look after Western Lands for your majesty."
