Doomsday Code

Chapter 461 Palace Banquet

And most of them do things like killing their sons, fathers, brothers, and tyrannizing their subjects just for the sake of the power in their hands.

The atmosphere in the side hall suddenly became cold, and then he came to Huidun, patted his shoulder and said:

"You should know that this day will come sooner or later.

And if you really hate it, then you must remember to change all this when you ascend the throne, instead of letting the young dragon slayer become the evil dragon. "

Huidun looked into Chen Cheng's eyes, wondering in his heart whether he would become like his father in the future.

For the sake of power, even one's own family ties can be sacrificed.

No, he hated it, and he had to make changes after he ascended the throne.

Then he looked at Chen Cheng beside him. He knew that Chen Cheng must have a way to help him.

At this time, Chen Cheng was also thinking about these things. He suddenly felt that he was the unscrupulous king that Moss XIII mentioned.

He is already the emperor of emperors (although if his identity is exposed, everyone will condemn him)

Therefore, he no longer needed the qualities to become a king that Moss XIII talked about. Now he was by Huidun's side, deceiving his true identity, and then thinking of using Huidun's identity and power to cultivate his own followers.

Am I not a person who is unscrupulous, shameless, and ruthless?

At this moment, Chen Cheng himself was a little scared.

However, he never thought that these were just his own thoughts, and all he did from beginning to end was to help Huidun.

As the saying goes, judge by actions, not by heart. If you judge by the heart, there are few perfect people in the world.

What he thought was just what he thought, he did not act.

Even the laws on the lowest moral standards in the past did not state that people could be sentenced for their bad thoughts.

And there is also this sentence: If the ruler is not discreet, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not discreet, they will lose themselves; if a few matters are not discreet, it will cause harm.

In this life, in this feudal monarchy world, he is His Majesty the Emperor, he is the King.

Even if Huidun ascended the throne, he would still be just a vassal king and a minister.

As a monarch, he never used his status as a monarch to put pressure on Huidun, nor did he reveal his true identity.

I was just his friend, assistant, and even military advisor, giving him advice.

And when that day comes, he will be the emperor, and he will be on the righteous side in his crusade against others, while others will be traitors.

Huidun's help to him was not out of friendship, nor was it a conspiracy between a king and his subjects. Rather, it was a subject following the king's orders to fight the enemy.

As a science student, Chen Cheng has not realized this at all, so he seems very guilty now.

When he came to his senses, he saw Huidun looking at him eagerly.

He swallowed and then said:

"I have a way, but you should know that you have to lose something if you gain something."

Chen Cheng’s method was naturally to limit the expansion of power and at the same time reform the way of obtaining power so that those who controlled power could flow like blood.

To put it more simply, he wants to divide the cake, divide the cake of power among everyone in the kingdom, and when everyone has a share of power, they can use their power to select a power user who is in the interests of the majority.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the political power cake, and Chen Cheng has never thought of touching the most important military power. On the contrary, he wants to deepen the king's control over military power.

Only in this way can real power constraints be formed.

In the past, many people thought that military was more important than politics, but the fact is that politics is more important than military. The military serves politics, but it is the last political means.

Naturally, the one who suffered the greatest loss was Huidun, the supreme ruler of the kingdom, and his plan to retain the king's military power was a guarantee for him.

Although this may seem old-fashioned to outsiders, since the king has an army, he can easily destroy the system of equal power.

Yet this is the reality of power change from top to bottom.

If we want true power equality, then there has to be a grassroots revolution, and such power equality can only last for a short time.

In the end, it will turn out to be what Chen Cheng had imagined.

Of course, this is a big topic, and Chen Cheng can only think of this from his perspective.

Huidun nodded and didn't ask any more questions because that was a matter for the future.

After the two of them stayed here for a while, Huidun took Chen Cheng out of the side hall and began to show him around the palace.

The architecture of this palace is the crystallization of the art and culture of the Kingdom of Moss.

Although the buildings here are all made of stone, their style is very different from the Western classical architectural style that Chen Cheng knew in his previous life.

Appreciate the beauty of culture.

Afterwards, the two were found by servants and led to the banquet prepared in the palace.

Following Huidun, Chen Cheng also knew that the people attending the banquet were the kingdom’s important officials and their wives.

When Chen Cheng and the other arrived, Huidun toasted with these people and talked with them, but Chen Cheng remembered what Huidun had said before and just listened without saying anything.

At most I just nod and say hello to people.

These people did not look down on Chen Cheng, and they focused more of their energy on Huidun.

Although Huidun was summoned this time because of the ruins, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was because Moss XIII missed his son.

This also revealed a signal that Moss XIII had never forgotten his son, and by calling him back at this time, no one knew whether Moss XIII was thinking of passing the throne to Huidun.

Because these people more or less know what Huidun City has become today under Huidun's governance.

It can be said that if it weren’t for Huidun’s embarrassing background, many people here would actually want to become his followers.

After greeting everyone for a while, Moss XIII changed into a formal suit and walked into the banquet arm in arm with the current queen.

Everyone stopped talking at this moment, looked at Moss XIII and the other man, and raised their glasses to welcome them.

Moss XIII and the other man each picked up a wine glass from the tray in the servant's hand, toasted everyone from a distance, and then drank it in one gulp.

"Everyone, enjoy your feast."

At this time, Huidun also came to Moss XIII and the other man with a wine glass.

Then he toasted each of them with a glass of wine, and then asked curiously:

"I don't know why my brother didn't come."

As soon as he said this, the originally happy Moss XIII's face fell, and the queen beside him replied:

"Your brother is feeling a little unwell today, so he didn't come. I, the Queen Mother, would like to offer you a toast on your brother's behalf. Welcome back."

The queen clinked her glass with Huidun in a very noble manner and apologized.

Huidun also lowered his body half a body and said:

"Thank you for your concern, mother. Since my brother is not feeling well, it is natural for me, his younger brother, to go and visit him."
