Chapter 53
After six hours of sailing, they successfully arrived at the transit point and met Qin Xingyue who had been waiting for a long time.Transfer to another spaceship and return to Autumn Star.
The person who came out to meet them was Ikeda Aisa. She looked at everyone and extended her hand to Qin Xingyue. "Hello, Your Royal Highness."
Qin Xingyue was startled. "No! You don't have to, just call me by my name. On the way, I was still thinking about changing my name."
Seeing this startled reaction, Aisha couldn't help being amused. "You're not what I imagined."
"You are also different from what I imagined, you are so young."
Aisha's smile faded and she didn't answer.
Shi Han led Qin Xingyue forward while introducing the facilities of the base. "You stay here for the past few weeks to observe the situation in the palace. We will discuss your arrangements after the situation stabilizes."
If the Long Singer incident dropped a bomb on a calm sea, the impact of Scarlet Thursday could be called a tsunami.In just one night, the emperor Qin Haoye died, the great nobleman Li Shihua died, the residence of Qin Haomo, a branch of the royal family, was destroyed, his body was not found, and the eldest princess disappeared strangely... The whole palace was in chaos.
Li Shihua's death disintegrated the alliance of the nobles. Since there was no authority to restrict their actions, many people's ambitions suppressed by Li Shihua suddenly reared their heads like weeds blown by the spring breeze.Like a group of wild dogs competing, they searched the Imperial Capital Star and even the entire first sector, but they couldn't find any trace of Qin Xingyue.
After the idea of holding the emperor to make the princes disillusioned, they had to suspect that Qin Xingyue was dead.As soon as this idea appeared in my mind, it was out of control.Now that the royal family is gone, who will be the emperor?
After all, there are too few smart people like Qin Xingyue who can see through the essence of the mess of the empire, and there is no one who does not covet the throne.The nobles of the empire have been married for generations, and the prominent families have a little bit of royal blood. The nobles who had gathered to discuss the results refused to give in, and a bloody battle broke out in the meeting hall.
When a conflict arises, no one dares to trust others and form an alliance.When the peace talks failed, they summoned private soldiers one after another, split the army, took away the wealth of the imperial capital, and returned to their territories.Sen Leng's industrial machines are constantly in motion, turning his family base into a military fortress.Before the Reform Party took action, two nobles had clashed on the border, and the situation was even more chaotic than Shi Han had expected.
At this point, the Galactic Empire was completely divided, and the era of separatism began.
And in the midst of this earth-shaking chaos, the Revolutionary Party is preparing to step onto the galactic stage.The instructions were conveyed to the target planet in an orderly manner, and the members lurked at the corresponding locations. The fleet was ready to go, like a snake hiding in the dark and ready to strike a fatal blow.
Since the military base is in the Autumn Star in the Eighteenth Star District, the main production base and source of funds are in the Fifth Star District. The planet on the traffic artery from the fifth to the No.18 star area.Their members have been dispatched to these places, preparing to overthrow the local aristocratic regime by force.
Finally, the day they had planned arrived.
This is the 4062th day of the galactic calendar year 184.
Shihan came to Li Zhenxi's office.She had waited a long time and was ready, her beautiful curly hair already tied up and tucked into a hat, a featureless white protective mask covering her face.
She stood up in front of the camera, indicating that Shi Han was ready.
Shi Han turned on the voice change to protect Li Zhenxi's voice characteristics, and nodded to Li Zhenxi for confirmation.
The camera was turned on, and Li Zhenxi said the first sentence:
"People of the galaxy!"
This is a manifesto for a new era.
……
George worked in a dangerous chemical plant for a day, dragged his tired body slowly on the way home, put his fingers in his trouser pockets, carefully counting the stack of banknotes.
Most jobs in this era have been replaced by machines, but the value produced has not been given to most people.George finally found a job, thanks to the fact that a basic intelligent machine in the factory was broken, and the boss found that hiring people here was 1000 yuan cheaper than machine maintenance.
The [-]th star region is not considered the richest star region, let alone someone like him who works on a mineral planet with a harsh environment. He stayed on this small planet called Lean Iron Star from birth until he died of fatigue. .This era is convenient, but they do not enjoy this convenience.
He has never been on a spaceship in his life, and he has never even seen virtual star coins, because they usually do not have ID cards, nor do they have star network accounts, and they can only exchange cheap banknotes printed by local nobles or factory owners for food at local small merchants .Sometimes the little nobles were in urgent need of money, so they printed and distributed local currency in excess, plundered resources from the locals, and caused inflation.
Naturally, George didn't know what inflation was, but he understood that every time labor was exchanged for money, the food that could be bought was getting less and less, and the rent was getting higher and higher.He didn't have time to pay attention to the news, but he knew that something happened to the rulers of the illusory empire above the starry sky, and the world has become more and more difficult recently.If this continues, he may not even be able to pay the rent for that shabby house.
But today is a good day, it's his mother's birthday.George touched the money in his pocket, planning to go to Mrs. Matsushita's shop to buy a cake.
George has never seen any big people, and Mrs. Matsushita, who has a certificate of identity and can open a small shop, is already the object of his envy.His goal in life is to get an identity certificate for himself and his mother, to have a decent job, to be able to pay the rent, to have enough food, and not to have to rack his brains to cook a meal with a few ingredients at his mother's age.
George knew that Mrs. Matsushita was also troubled recently. Her daughter was smart and had excellent grades, but the cost of higher education was too high, and their family couldn't even afford the travel expenses to the capital of the star region.
He regretfully glanced at the prices of the beautiful and fluffy cakes in the window, and still picked the most common and cheapest one, while making up his mind to let his mother eat the most attractive one for her next birthday.
Behind the window, Matsushita gave him a weary smile as a greeting.
Walking back two blocks from his home, he heard the sound of leather boots and his heart sank.Just as he was about to run away, he heard a shout: "Master House's guards! Don't move, raise your hands!"
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, George had no choice but to stand still and raise his hand.
"We think you are suspected of stealing, you have been arrested!" As he spoke, he was slammed against the wall by the guards, his hands were clamped and handcuffed, and at the same time, a team member put a hand into his pocket, Take out his bill.
"Haha, sure enough, this poor man stole money." The guard who pressed him laughed loudly: "There are a lot of them."
George wailed, "That's my three months' wages!"
"Three months' wages? Huh?" The guard winked at his companion: "Listen, this kind of person who eats every meal and never eats another meal can afford to save three months' wages!"
George argued: "I work fourteen hours a day—"
Although his languid mental state proved his words, the guards would not listen to his excuses, but changed their posture, pulled him off the wall, and pushed him hard to the ground.The moment his body hit the ground, there was not only a piercing pain, but also a sticky wetness.
The cake I bought for my mother was broken.
But then, he didn't have the mind to think about the cake and money, because the guard directly pressed his neck with his knee, and he immediately felt that he couldn't breathe.
He wailed from his throat, but was pointed at the gun and couldn't even resist.The residents of the street poked their heads out when they heard the sound, and someone said: "He can't breathe!" But they didn't dare to go any further in front of the gunpoint.
George was pressed against his neck, and with limited vision, he could only see the advertisement of the wristband communicator on the huge screen in front of him.The above actor Yanyan Yan, carefree, farther and farther away from him, more and more blurred, the original three people blurred into two figures, one tall and clumsy, one short, fat and kind, surrounded by a table with Full of beautiful cakes.
He called out: "Mom!" Then he could no longer make a sound.
When he was dying, the color block in front of him suddenly changed, and a voice whose age and gender could not be identified suddenly sounded, so clear and so loud.
"People of the galaxy!"
George suddenly felt the weight on his neck become lighter, as if the noble guards on his body were so surprised by the voice that they forgot to put pressure on him.He instinctively seized this rare opportunity, breathing heavily to refill his brain with oxygen.
After a while, he was able to think and saw the sudden change on the screen. It was a person wearing a mask. The mask was very ordinary, and it was a simple protective mask used by many poor people working in chemical and biopharmaceutical factories. It can be bought on the streets and alleys.
The voice of the masked man resounded in the streets and alleys, piercing into his ears intermittently.
"...You may have become accustomed to meager remuneration, even if it cannot even be exchanged for basic survival; you may have become accustomed to the disappearing slaves, even if you know where they went; you may have become accustomed to bowing your head to nobles, even if it is a fool. You are afraid of them, but you must know that you are not insignificant. Their feast is taken from your table; their knowledge is compared with you who have been deprived of educational rights; their nobility belongs to you Adorned with blood and sweat; they weren't born that way."
"We may all be used to it and endure it, but when our lives are worthless, when our elders are displaced, when our children are taken away before our eyes, can we bear it any longer?..."
"We are no longer used to it, we cannot get used to it! We are born equal under this starry sky, we have the right to live! We have the right to be paid a fair wage! We have the right to education! We have the right to freedom of thought! To have the power not to be plundered! And born so!"
George's mind, which was still in a daze, seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and he was completely awake, and his strength slowly returned to his body.As he listened, the sound seemed to penetrate his eardrums and enter his mind, lighting a cluster of flames.He has been confused and cursed, but he has never had the courage to ignite the flame.
Is this person against the empire and the nobility?
"Turn off that screen!" He heard a loud voice in his ears, and the guards were running around in a mess.
"Can't turn it off! Permission is gone!"
"How come? Pull out the energy directly!"
"Energy is buried in the ground, and it takes half an hour to dig in!"
Meanwhile, the impassioned speeches continued.
"...The empire erased its original history. The human exploration period was not an imperial aristocratic system. The empire was not the only political system in civilization, and the nobles were not born noble. In the coup a month ago, the nobles tried to seize power, and the royal family was killed and injured. Exhausted. Imperial power is dead! Rise up! People of the galaxy! The empire is rotten, we are fed up with falling under protection!"
