Li Linghai showed a disdainful sneer and said slowly: "Our Majesty the Shenwu Emperor is, at best, a naive idealist; at worst, he is ambitious and incapable, willful, and indulges in his own fantasies. , he thought that the glorious victory of the Empire's Counterattack was really his credit, and that he could really restore the glory of the Black Star Emperor's era and make all soldiers and nobles surrender under his feet.
"In short, this is a guy who has failed in many achievements and failed in many cases, so even if he falls into Dongfang Wang's hands, it doesn't matter."
Li Yao rolled his eyes and said, "Well, after all, he is Her Royal Highness the Queen's...husband, and you have had more than a dozen children."
A flash of hatred and hatred flashed across Li Linghai's face, and he said coldly: "You should know that becoming the wife of this pig is the thing I hate the most in my life.
If it were my will, I would hate to see him die with my own eyes.
"However, considering the overall situation of the true human empire lasting for thousands of years, it needs a nominal emperor anyway.
As long as he does not commit stupid acts that bring about his own destruction, after rescuing him, it is also my responsibility to continue to respect him as your majesty. promise.
"Speaking of which, Li Yao, I think what you really want to ask is not Emperor Shenwu, but me, right?
You want to know what position I will be in after the mission of 'renovating the empire' is truly completed.
Will she become a dictator to some extent, a kind of 'Queen of a Generation' or something like that, right?"
Li Yao smiled awkwardly, acquiescing.
Li Linghai snorted lightly and said indifferently: "I have told you a long time ago that everything I did was to save the empire, not just to seize power for myself.
Even if one day I really control the supreme power, He will definitely do better than the four electors.
"We, the reformists, have also discussed several sets of solutions to the imperial political situation after the partial collapse of the four Electoral families.
One plan is to add at least 250 reformists among the 500 senators in the Senate. members to act as a check and balance against old interest groups.
"But this plan is too difficult to operate and can easily trigger strong resistance from the old senators and completely intensify the conflict.
Therefore, a new plan is proposed to divide the Senate into upper and lower chambers.
The current Senate becomes the Upper House.
In the House of Commons, the respected status and preferential treatment of all senators remain unchanged, but there is another House of Commons with 3,000 people.
The senators in the House of Commons are selected by a wider range of interest groups to represent the interests of the vast majority of people and control them.
Real power.
“These two plans, including other plans on how to divide, check and balance power, and form a truly just, clean, and efficient big government, have been circulated among the reformists for a long time.
Everyone actively participated in the discussion and strongly agreed with it.
No matter what, they all It is much better than the current oligopoly and clan rule of the four Electoral families.
Do you think it is possible for a cruel and tyrannical dictator to emerge based on this kind of thinking?
" Li Yao's eyes rolled around again and again, but he didn't speak.
"I can understand your concerns as a cultivator, but these concerns are all unfounded."
Li Linghai's tone became softer, as if he was talking, "If you want to create a dictator who kills with iron blood, what are the two most important elements?
The first is the army, and the second is prestige, and these two The elements are combined into one, which is to ask countless powerful people to swear allegiance to me personally and to be loyal to me, Li Linghai.
“But is this really the case now?
"As for the army, the Deep Sea Fleet is completely commanded by General Dongfang Sheng.
I never ask about any details, let alone the selection and promotion of his personnel.
Not to mention General Lei Chenghu's Thunder Fleet, which is extremely independent. , can only be said to be my ally rather than my subordinate.
"In terms of prestige, I have never thought of establishing any kind of personality cult among the Reformists.
No matter Dongfang Sheng, Yue Wushuang or Jin Yuyan, they did not worship or be loyal to me before they joined the Reformists.
They all had their own reasons. , and agree with the ideas of the reformists, only then can we all come together.
"This is especially true for you and General Lei Chenghu.
Tell the truth, do I have any 'prestige' in front of you?
"In short, I am the leader of the Reform Faction, but I am by no means the unique leader of the Reform Faction.
If I really wanted to become a dictator, as vulgar as the 'generation of queens' you said, I would not build the Reform Faction at all.
To become what we are today, we must firmly control the military power in our own hands, right?
"After all, no matter how powerful my individual combat power is, it is useless in the face of overwhelming starships and roaring armies.
"I didn't do this from the beginning.
When the reformists expanded to today and fully had their own will, it was even less possible for me to control military power and establish personal prestige.
But these are not important.

Am I a reformist or even a reformist?
The leader of the empire doesn’t matter, as long as we can create a more powerful and eternal new empire, that’s enough!”
Under Li Linghai's impassioned speech, Li Yao was stunned for a long time and couldn't find many loopholes.
He could only say: "It seems to be true."
"Then what are you worried about?"
Li Linghai smiled slightly, "Stop thinking nonsense, go and get ready, believe me, what you do is maintaining the balance and stability in the center of the star sea, and more people's lives will be saved because of you!"
Li Linghai cut off the communication screen.
Leaving Li Yao alone in the fog of darkness.
His worries became more serious.
The blood-colored inner demon said in the depths of his mind: "Have you noticed that Her Highness the Queen's tone today was very gentle, eager to defend herself, for fear that we might misunderstand, and her appearance was completely different from the first time I met her."
"Naturally discovered it."
Li Yao said, "It's abnormal to be a monster.
A person who has always been cold and cold suddenly becomes so gentle.
It is definitely not a good sign."
However, Li Yao and the Bloody Heart Demon thought about it over and over again, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Li Linghai was right in saying that no matter what conspiracy, ambitious plan, or crazy idea, in the final analysis, it must be implemented by the army.
But Li Linghai did relinquish all military power.
Even the deep-sea fleet he built was given full command by Dongfang Sheng, an "outsider".
He was magnanimous and selfless to the extreme.
Li Yao had been in contact with Dongfang Sheng several times, and he could not tell that this fleet commander with a level of god transformation had any absolutely loyal personal admiration for Li Linghai.
Not to mention Lei Chenghu, if Li Linghai really made any move, Lei Chenghu would be the first to stand up and kill her.
Including the political structure of the new empire in the ideals of the reformists, it is indeed much more advanced than the chaotic rule of the four Electoral Prince families.
Most of the members of the reformists were inspired by their ideas to join the great cause of the "reform empire" and are loyal to them.
It's the word "innovation", not Li Linghai himself.
Therefore, assuming that Li Linghai really has any ambitions and has a huge conspiracy operating behind the scenes, why can she realize it and make hundreds of thousands of soldiers in hundreds of worlds across the star sea obey her?
Totally impossible!
Even with her strength at the peak of her divine transformation, even if she is in the distraction stage, she is still alone and cannot devour the entire empire.
Li Yao couldn't figure out the key to this even if he thought about it, but Long Yangjun's words that day seemed to be very reasonable.
Thinking about it really made his head explode.
He simply called Li Jialing in: "Come on, come on, little brother, Brother Yao will help you check your body.
How is your recent progress in cultivating the Emperor Flame Pearl?"
At this moment, Li Jialing still had a head full of golden hair, but there was a faint layer of light golden flames at the tips of his hair.
His whole person looked fierce and gorgeous, really like a majestic golden lion.
However, in front of Li Yao, who was half master and half mentor, the golden lion was still as docile as a kitten.
He obediently took out the fragment of the Emperor Flame Pearl and spread it out in the palm of his hand.
"Wow, so fast!"
Li Yao was startled.
He saw that the fragment of the Emperor Flame Pearl in Li Jialing's palm was dim and dull.
Small needle-like holes appeared on the surface that was originally as smooth as a mirror.
The texture was like an ordinary rock, and it was faintly flowing inside.
All the power was dried up, no, it was sucked dry by Li Jialing!
Li Yao had hundreds of years of continuous adventures.
He was reborn and marrow-cleansed and his menstruation was cut off time and time again.
His flesh and blood body had long been so strong that it could not be described in words.
He thought his cultivation speed was fast enough, but he did not expect that Li Jialing's cultivation speed was not.

Even better than him, in just one month, he devoured all the "Qi of the King" contained in the fragments of the Emperor Flame Pearl!
Although Li Jialing's fragment is a little smaller than his, the cultivation efficiency is so... depressing!
"Come, try your current skills."
Li Yao stretched out his hand towards Li Jialing, and their palms were tightly clasped together.
"boom!"
Around the two of them, two similarly light golden flames rose up, forming a "crackling" arc of electricity all over their bodies.
Thick veins continued to bulge on their chests and arms, drawing the terrifying power from the deepest parts of their cells into a steady stream.
Delivered to the palm of your hand.
After a while, the palms of the two people became crystal clear, and the muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerves and bones inside were all clear.
After another ten seconds, the palms of both of them turned white, like steel that had been heated to the point of melting!
Until this moment, Li Jialing showed a trace of pain on his face, groaned, and wanted to let go.
However, Li Yao did not let go.
The power from the veins in his arms surged towards Li Jialing's arms and body like a tide, truly touching the opponent's limbs, eight meridians and even the Dantian.
But no matter how he groped, he didn't find any strange power invading Li Jialing's body.
