Inside the palace of the Sea Dynasty.
The Emperor was enraged by the election law.
Bang!
The glittering and translucent emerald glass cup was smashed into powder by him.
The Emperor was so angry that he wanted to blow up the entire palace.
"Bastard, bastard, bastard!"
The Emperor didn't know who he was yelling at, but he was very unhappy. He wanted to kill a few people to vent his anger.
However, the Emperor was still the Emperor, and he quickly calmed down.
The Emperor who had calmed down made the hall extremely quiet. The attendants standing in the hall were all sweating profusely.
The Emperor was even scarier in this state because the entire hall was filled with a murderous aura.
"Call the Prime Minister and the others here."
The Emperor could only lie down on the Dragon Throne.
Not long after, Prime Minister Jin Ziweng came to the hall with a group of old officials.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Spare the formalities, Old Man. Tell me, what are your plans next?"
The Emperor trusted Jin Ziweng and knew that once the election law was enacted, Jin Ziweng would try his best to help him.
Jin Ziweng kowtowed after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, I think this is also an opportunity for us."
The Emperor frowned slightly.
"Opportunity? What do you mean? "
"Your Majesty, we know very well that the so-called battle for the throne is actually a battle between the Defiant Gods and Lord Zhuo."
"Obviously, this battle is also very important to the Defiant Gods, and they naturally don't want you to lose to that traitor."
"Therefore, I suggest that we do the opposite and seek help from the Defiant Gods. The Defiant Gods obviously won't ignore you, Your Majesty. "
The Prime Minister's words made the Emperor's eyes light up, and he understood a little more.
The Emperor had always been resentful of the Defiant Gods, and had never thought of asking for help from the Defiant Gods Against The Firmament.
However, Jin Ziweng's words made him suddenly understand.
The Defiant Gods Against The Firmament used him to attack Lord Zhuo, so why couldn't he use the Defiant Gods Against The Firmament to attack Hai Xiaoyun?
From the beginning, it was a relationship of mutual benefit.
"Go on!"
The Emperor was interested.
Prime Minister Jin Ziweng continued.
"Your Majesty, you should know very well that the Defiant God has countless believers among the people. If we run for the throne in the name of going against God, I believe that the votes we will get will be unimaginable. "
Jin Ziweng's words made the Emperor happy again. He even slapped the table in praise.
"That's right. If it's in the name of the Defying God, just say that I represent the Defying God and am the spokesperson of the Defying God. Then wouldn't the believers of the Defiant God be … "
The Emperor seemed to have been enlightened and found a way to get things done.
"That's a good idea, very good. Old Man, go and do it. I will leave the national lecture tour to you. I am the spokesperson of the Defiant Gods, so you are my spokesperson. Do you understand? "
After all, the Emperor was still the Emperor. It was impossible for him to personally go on stage and make a speech to solicit votes.
The Emperor was the Emperor, so how could he be like those wild bandits?
In response, Prime Minister Jin Ziweng did not object. In his opinion, the Emperor should sit in the Imperial Palace and plan his strategies.
The matter of garnering votes should be left to the officials.
"By the way, Old Man, go and mobilize the city lords of these hundred cities. Tell them to do whatever it takes to get their people to vote for me. If they don't, I will execute them without mercy. "
The Emperor clearly had to prepare for both sides.
One was soft, the other was hard. Only by using both soft and hard methods could he succeed.
The Prime Minister deeply agreed with this.
Not only did they want to win, but they also wanted to win thoroughly. They wanted Hai Xiaoyun to suffer a crushing defeat.
… …
On this side, the Emperor wanted to use his iron fist to sway the votes.
On the other side, Purple Marquis Hai Xiaoyun's lecture tour had begun.
His first stop was the most important city on the coast of the East Sea, Overwave City.
Overwave City was known as one of the eight Great Sage Cities of the Oceanic Kingdom. Whether it was economic or political status, it was one of the best.
As the largest city on the coast of the East Sea, it had a population of nearly five million people.
Therefore, Hai Xiaoyun placed great importance on this first speech.
The script for the first stop was actually provided by Zhuo Bufan. It was called the Declaration of Freedom.
This "Declaration of Freedom" was adapted by Zhuo Bufan according to "I Have a Dream" by a great person on Earth. The theme was the liberation of slaves.
Zhuo Bufan also didn't idle during this period. He had been investigating the stubborn disease of the Oceanic Kingdom.
He discovered that even though the Empire was so powerful, there were still many problems with decay.
For example, human rights and slaves.
Slaves existed no matter which society it was in.
After all, slaves symbolized rule and free labor. At the same time, they also symbolized a kind of hidden class conflict.
Until now, the Oceanic Kingdom still had slavery. Not only the Oceanic Kingdom, but the entire world had such a system.
Slaves, servants, female slaves, and so on.
The Empire even had many slave markets that specialized in selling slaves.
In Overwave City, there were several slave markets.
After investigating this, Zhuo Bufan decided to write the Declaration of Freedom as Hai Xiaoyun's first speech.
The Declaration of Freedom was adapted from a great work, "I Have a Dream."
This speech had a strong appeal. Zhuo Bufan believed that it would attract a lot of votes for Hai Xiaoyun's first stop.
On the other hand, Hai Xiaoyun was a little shocked when she saw the first speech Zhuo Bufan gave her.
She hadn't expected that Zhuo Bufan would actually ask her to liberate the slaves of the Empire. What a bold and reckless idea!
One had to know that slavery was deeply rooted in the Empire. It wasn't something that could be abolished casually.
This speech didn't even get the approval of his think tanks.
However, when Hai Xiaoyun calmed down, she realized the significance of what Zhuo Bufan wanted her to do.
It was a kind of mission, and also a kind of glory.
If Hai Xiaoyun could really liberate the slaves of the Empire, she might become the greatest emperor in the history of the Oceanic Kingdom.
In the end, Hai Xiaoyun agreed to Zhuo Bufan's speech.
Her first stop, the lava of Overwave City, was this Declaration of Freedom.
On this day, it was drizzling in Overwave City.
However, in the central square of the city, there was a sea of people.
Today was a great day, a day that would be recorded in the annals of history. Therefore, everyone wanted to witness it.
When Hai Xiaoyun went up on stage wearing her iconic purple robes, everyone present was boiling with excitement.
In order to prevent Hai Xiaoyun from being assassinated, Zhuo Bufan even personally came to be her bodyguard.
Now that the gamble had begun, Zhuo Bufan couldn't let anything happen to his chess piece.
"Today, I am happy to participate with everyone in what will become the greatest gathering in the history of the Oceanic Kingdom for the sake of freedom."
… …
At the start of the speech, Hai Xiaoyun used the tone and actions that he had rehearsed over and over again. He began to emotionally shout out again and again.
Every time she finished speaking, she would deliberately pause for a few seconds. Then, the audience would involuntarily burst into thunderous applause.
Of course, the ones leading the applause were definitely Hai Xiaoyun's people.
And these people were deliberately joined by Hai Xiaoyun under Zhuo Bufan's request.
Since it was to win votes, then she would do everything to influence the people who held the votes in their hands.
Zhuo Bufan stood on the side and watched Hai Xiaoyun's speech.
He was very satisfied with Hai Xiaoyun's speech.
When the speech ended, the audience once again burst into roars.
The speech at the first stop was very successful.
Hai Xiaoyun successfully obtained the approval of the majority of the people in Overwave City. After the speech ended, the content of the speech quickly spread through the streets.
"Liberate the slaves, Purple Marquis really daring to say that. You should know that slavery is not only a system in our empire, but also in the entire world. It is a deeply rooted system. How can it be changed so easily?"
"Although that is the case, Purple Marquis's words are clearly aimed at the slaves! After all, Purple Marquis is trying to win the votes of the slaves. "
"Yes, there are at least two to three hundred million slaves in our Ocean Empire. If these slaves all vote for his painting, then his chances of winning will be even higher. "
"So, Purple Marquis's move is very powerful. He only gave the slaves a promise, but he can gain something without risking anything. In any case, the enthusiasm of the slaves has been aroused by him. "
"Looks like Purple Marquis is very confident this time. He will first firmly control the votes of the slaves in his hands."
"But this way, the landowning class will definitely vote against him! After all, the landowning class will not allow him to abolish slavery. "
"There is no other way. Since he chose the slaves, then he must give up on the landowning class. It's impossible for him to get all the votes. "
"Now, let's see what the emperor's side does."
For Hai Xiaoyun's first speech, people all over the world paid a lot of attention.
His idea of abolishing slavery was very dangerous, but he obtained the support of a large number of slaves.
According to the rules, slaves also have the right to vote. So, Hai Xiaoyun took the initiative and firmly grasped the votes of the slaves.
As soon as Hai Xiaoyun's speech ended, the emperor began to organize Hai Xiaoyun's "Declaration of Freedom" and started to prepare countermeasures.
In the main hall, the emperor looked at Hai Xiaoyun's "Declaration of Freedom", then threw the scroll in the main hall and laughed.
"Hahaha, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
"I thought Hai Xiaoyun had some tricks up his sleeve. I didn't expect this guy to actually want to liberate the slaves. Idiot, hopeless idiot. Slavery has existed since the era of the ancestor Hai Long. It has been deeply rooted in the development and rule of the empire. Just based on a few words from Hai Xiaoyun, he wants to abolish slavery. This is simply a pipe dream. "
Hai Tu laughed. In his view, Hai Xiaoyun's "Declaration of Freedom" was tantamount to courting death.
In the end, not only he might not get the support of the slaves, he might also be hated by the landowning class.
After all, the slaves were still in the hands of the landowning class.
As long as their masters didn't allow them to vote for Hai Xiaoyun, how would the slaves dare to vote for him?
Perhaps the slaves wanted to vote for Hai Xiaoyun in the depths of their hearts, but the servile nature of these slaves was already deeply ingrained in them. They would definitely obey the orders of their masters.
So, in the emperor's view, Hai Xiaoyun's first speech was an absolute failure.
"Prime Minister, it's time for us to counterattack. Are you ready on your side? "
The emperor looked at Prime Minister Jin Ziweng. Jin Ziweng nodded.
"Replying to Your Majesty, the servants are ready. I believe the streets already know that Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the representative of God Defying Against The Firmament. "
On the Prime Minister's side, according to the Emperor's orders, he prepared to use the name of Defying the Heavens and the title of the Son of Heaven chosen by Defying the Gods to start spreading the news.
In less than a day's time, this news had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Infinite City.
The people on the streets began to talk about it.
"Good job, Old Ziweng. I'll leave the rest to you."
As the emperor's most trusted person, the Prime Minister naturally accepted the most important mission.
Moreover, the emperor believed that the Prime Minister was the most suitable person to represent him in the speech.
Sure enough, early the next morning, the Prime Minister represented the Son of Heaven in the central square of Vast City and gave a speech called "The Son of Heaven's Declaration".
This declaration was very simple and crude. It directly stated that the emperor was the representative of God Defying, the chosen Son of God Against The Firmament.
With this sentence, the believers of God Defying went into an uproar.
In the eyes of many people, God Against The Firmament was a god-like existence. They worshipped him as their faith.
The believers were crazy. They were willing to do anything for their servant.
Since the emperor was the chosen Son of God Defying, these believers were willing to fully support him.
Therefore, it could be said that the emperor had completely grasped the believers of God Defying.
Interestingly, among the believers of God Against The Firmament, almost all of them were slaves.
Because for the slaves, God Defying Against The Firmament represented a rebellion that they didn't have. Therefore, the slaves believed in God Against The Firmament and hoped that they had the spirit of a rebel Against The Firmament.
However, they didn't have the courage to do so. Therefore, they worshipped and believed in God Against The Firmament even more. They completely believed in God Against The Firmament and waited for the day when God Against The Firmament would come and save them.
But now, the slaves had learned that the Defiant God and Defiant Firmament supported the emperor.
This time, the slaves were at a loss.
On one hand, they supported Purple Marquis. They believed that Purple Marquis could completely abolish slavery.
On the other hand, their inner beliefs told them that they should believe in God Defying. Only God Defying could bring them a future.
Therefore, the slaves were now at a loss. They didn't know who to choose.
It could be said that the emperor's counterattack beautifully hit Hai Xiaoyun's Achilles heel.
This was a beautiful counterattack. Hai Xiaoyun, who had just completed the declaration of freedom, fell into a passive position.
However, the battle between the two sides had just begun.
Although Hai Xiaoyun and Hai Tu looked down on each other, they didn't dare to slack off in front of their opponent.
After all, this battle was related to the future of the empire.
Similarly, this was the battle between God Against The Firmament and Zhuo Bufan.
The real battle for the throne had just begun.
