Chapter 777: Entering the Palace
One evening, the Cube flew to the palace of the Yao Kingdom.
Originally, the Cube planned to improve the combat capability of the robots on the volcanic island, but Princess Junru suddenly called and cried and said that the old king had passed away. The Cube was stunned for a long time before he remembered what "passed away" meant. It was not that the car collapsed, but that the emperor died. It was like an avalanche. Wouldn't it be enough to just say that he had passed away? Why did he pass away?
The old king passed away due to advanced cancer. He would have to die a few days earlier or later. So after the funeral, the issue of succession to the throne had to be discussed and studied. There were still 800 combat robots left in Wanghai City. The Cube and these 800 robots were the main helpers in helping Princess Junru ascend the throne.
Landing outside the palace, the Cube changed into a military uniform. It was dark, but the palace was still brightly lit and covered with white cloth everywhere. The Cube asked the guards to go in and report. After all, it was not easy to enter the palace at night.
Not long after, Princess Junru, who received the news, appeared in front of the Cube with red eyes and white clothes.
"My condolences, the dead cannot be resurrected." The magic cube flipped through the database and found two words of comfort.
"Thank you for coming. I have something to discuss with you. Let's go into the palace."
Princess Junru turned around and led the way. The magic cube was stunned. After all, it was night and the old emperor had just died. It would not be good to follow the princess in, but he was a robot! Why bother about those things! Then go in and discuss it. It is estimated that 80% of the old ministers called for respecting the old order and keeping the old order. The old man said something casually thousands of years ago and it is now the golden rule. Change it and you will die. The magic cube looked down on those bookworms from the bottom of his heart. They could not reform and innovate, and they were worth eight hundred for misleading the country and the people.
Entering the palace, there were sobbing and sobbing everywhere. I didn't know that these people were really sad about the death of the old king.
The palace was too big, and Princess Junru sat in a carriage. She originally invited Mofang to sit in it, but Mofang thought it was better to ride a horse. He picked a horse at random and walked beside Princess Junru's carriage. He looked at the lifeless palace and the crying palace maids along the way, and he felt more and more upset. Finally, he simply looked up at the stars.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I really cried, and they had to cry." Princess Junru said self-deprecatingly in the carriage.
"It's nothing. Isn't it the same all over the world?" Mofang said casually.
The hooves of the horses clattered, and they walked through the front hall and came to the harem. Mofang's brain wave detection results of many palace maids showed that they were now in a panic. Yes, the king died, and there was no son or nephew to inherit the throne. The only daughter might become the queen. No one wanted a woman to be the king, and even women didn't want to. There was no reason. Everyone was used to men being kings. That's all.
Along the way, most of Princess Junru's personal guards were replaced by mechanical soldiers. The mechanical mantis bracelet was always worn on her hand. It was obvious that Princess Junru realized that she was in danger now.
Arriving at a palace, this is the study room where Princess Junru usually handles state affairs.
After dismissing the maids and eunuchs, Princess Junru sat behind the desk and pointed at the chair next to the magic cube and sat down casually.
"What should I do now..."
Princess Junru, who had just sat down, asked a major question. The entire Wanghai City was almost in a state of depression and conflicts could break out at any time. Some people were indifferent and naturally didn't care who was in power, but some people who were well-educated and sanctimonious were full of nonsense and were dissatisfied with women being in power. Moreover, such people were regarded as big figures by many people and had strong appeal. It can be seen that Princess Junru really wanted to know what to do next.
"Simple, ascend the throne. Do you want to pull someone from somewhere else and tell him that he has the spirit of a cuckold and is destined to be the king? It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. Yao Country is like this. Those who are dissatisfied and dissatisfied will leave Yao Country." The magic cube said nonchalantly.
"How can I ascend the throne without support?"
"It's enough that I support you. It doesn't matter whether those fools support you or not. If you show those ministers a bad face, they will propose to give way to wise men tomorrow. If someone disobeys you, you should remove him from his post. It would be better if all the civil and military officials in the court were removed. It might be a good thing for Yao Country to replace him with some people who agree with reform."
"Oh, according to what you mean, the Mechanical Empire has already taken control of Yao Country. The ministers can change it if they want to. They can do whatever they want." Princess Junru said it very directly but she was not angry.
"Our Mechanical Empire has no interest in Yao Country, let alone other empires. Well, let's take this opportunity to have a good chat today. Princess, do you know the meaning of the word progress?"
"Progress? Is it just a step forward? But what does this have to do with national affairs?" Princess Junru asked puzzledly.
"Okay, it's hard for you to understand the meaning of progress. Then let me ask you, what did the warships look like two thousand years ago, and what do they look like today?" The magic cube had to give an example to illustrate the meaning of progress. Not only two thousand years ago, I'm afraid that the warships of Shenwu Continent ten thousand years ago were not much different from now.
"Two thousand years ago... now... it's the same. What's wrong with that?"
"Not just two thousand years, I'm afraid it's the same for ten thousand years. You people on Shenwu Continent think this is normal, but this is exactly the most abnormal thing. You also saw my battleship. If you start to develop reform and innovation now, you can build that battleship in less than two hundred years."
"How is this possible? How can we make it?" Although Princess Junru is good at governing the country, she has no impression of the word development.
"You are really stupid. Let me ask you, now ox carts and horse carts all use wooden wheels, why not wrap a layer of rubber on the outside of the wood? This will make the cart lighter and more labor-saving. As long as you study hard, you can make it. This is progress. For example, clothes, don't you think your clothes are particularly unfavorable for labor? Look at my clothes again. They look weird to you, but they are very convenient, right? As long as you study hard, even tailors or blacksmiths can have a bright future."
"No, that's not right. Everything is inferior except reading. Only reading can make you understand things, and only reading has the most promising future." Princess Junru said decisively.
Mofang was a little crazy. Princess Junru seemed very rational, but she was still very stubborn when it came to the feudal nature of Shenwu Continent. Reading, reading, what can a group of bookworms do? There are beautiful women and golden houses in books. Reading is for women and gold?
"Then do you know why hundreds of warships of seven countries were still smashed to pieces by a large ship? Who in the seven countries dares to say no to me now? What do I rely on? Don't they have enough scholars?"
"Uh... this..." Princess Junru couldn't say it. Indeed, in terms of reading, there are many famous scholars in the seven countries, but they were still defeated quickly and couldn't even resist.
