"Yes, elder."
The second-in-command became serious and nodded heavily.
……
Hou Liangping sat in front of the television, watching the news intently.
His expression was very complicated.
Although he had read these news reports more than a dozen times, he still couldn't believe it.
Qi Tongwei has declared himself emperor!
Moreover, the country he established was called the Great Han Empire!
When Qi Tongwei first released the news, he initially thought the other party was just joking.
But now, Qi Tongwei has actually done it!
He was utterly shocked!
Has my senior brother gone mad?
When he ascended the throne and declared himself emperor, wasn't he afraid of being attacked by Myanmar?
If the two sides start fighting, what will he use to fight the Myanmar military?
The Great Han Empire is likely in grave danger!
"Senior brother, you're being foolish!"
Hou Liangping sighed deeply.
He had initially thought that Qi Tongwei's escape to northern Myanmar and his rise to warlord status was a decent outcome, given that the authorities had now lifted the arrest warrant for him.
But to his surprise, just a few days later, Qi Tongwei caused trouble again.
Ascend the throne and become emperor?
What era are we living in? And we're on someone else's turf. Aren't we just waiting for them to come and deal with us?
He admitted that his senior was very outstanding, but even if he was outstanding, he couldn't fight against a country, could he?
Are you kidding me?
To establish a nation with only 20,000 people and a territory of only half of Karen State—isn't this just child's play and a joke that's gone too far?
Just then, Zhong Xiaoai walked over.
Seeing Hou Liangping looking worried, she asked him with some curiosity.
"Honey, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Ugh!
Hou Liangping sighed deeply, pointed to the news broadcast on the television, and said to Zhong Xiaoai.
"Xiao Ai, you must have heard about your senior brother's ascension to the throne in Myanmar and the establishment of the Great Han Empire, right?"
Zhong Xiaoai nodded.
"How could I not know about something this big? I was shocked for a long time. I thought it was fake news, so I went to ask my dad, but he told me it was true."
"I never expected him to be so capable, actually becoming an emperor abroad. I really didn't expect that."
Zhong Xiaoai felt incredibly emotional towards Qi Tongwei.
Although Qi Tongwei and Hou Liangping were fellow disciples, she originally looked down on Qi Tongwei because, in her eyes, Hou Liangping was far more outstanding than Qi Tongwei.
But now, she has to admit that although her husband Hou Liangping is also very outstanding, he is incomparable to Qi Tongwei.
Judging from the series of things Qi Tongwei has done recently, this is simply a case of overwhelming force!
"Honey, he's no longer a criminal. Are you still worried about this?"
Zhong Xiaoai asked a question out of curiosity.
Hou Liangping shook his head with a wry smile.
“I’m not worrying about that. I’m worried that my senior brother’s high profile will definitely anger the Burmese government. If they send troops to punish him, he won’t be able to stop them and he might be in danger.”
"Xiao Ai, my senior brother really doesn't know how to be low-key anymore, sigh."
Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback.
After a moment, she came to her senses, walked over to Hou Liangping, sat down, and began to offer words of comfort.
"Alright, he's the emperor now. You're just a lowly anti-corruption bureau chief. You have no jurisdiction over northern Myanmar. Why are you meddling in this?"
"Besides, he's not stupid. Since he dared to declare himself emperor and establish a country, and so blatantly provoke the Burmese government, do you think he would do this if he didn't have some skills?"
Hou Liangping was taken aback.
He turned to look at Zhong Xiaoai, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"You mean, my senior brother has the ability to negotiate with the Burmese government?"
"He managed to escape from your encirclement; he's no ordinary person."

Hou Liangping didn't say anything.
His mind kept replaying what his wife, Zhong Xiaoai, had just said.
9. Could it be that his senior brother really has the ability to solve those problems?
However...
4. How is that possible?
eight……
4. Government compound.
Er Gao Yuliang sat on the sofa, looking at the newspaper article about Qi Tongwei in a dragon robe, wearing a crown and holding a jade seal, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. His eyes were filled with shock!
9. He never imagined that his student would not only become a warlord, but also an emperor.
Upon seeing this news, he was deeply moved and remained unsettled for a long time.
He initially thought that Qi Tongwei's request for him to be a strategist was just a joke, a casual remark.
But now it seems that Qi Tongwei wasn't joking with him; he really has the ability.
Tsk tsk, the Great Han Empire!
He even established a cabinet and three branches of the armed forces: army, navy, and air force. His student has quite the ambition!
Having held a high position for many years, Gao Yuliang's vision is naturally beyond that of ordinary people; he could tell this from the information reported in the news.
Qi Tongwei has great ambitions!
Qi Tongwei's initial statement about unifying northern Myanmar was probably not his ultimate goal, but merely a beginning.
hiss!
Upon realizing this, Gao Yuliang couldn't help but gasp.
This student is amazing!
However, after the initial shock, he quickly calmed down.
Although Qi Tongwei became emperor, he had no intention of going to serve as the other party's strategist.
Because he didn't want to die!
In his view, Qi Tongwei's actions were tantamount to courting his own destruction, because a state established in this way would never be recognized internationally.
Moreover, given Qi Tongwei's high profile, how could the Myanmar military possibly let him go?
It probably won't be long before news comes from northern Myanmar that the Burmese army is launching a campaign against Qi Tongwei.
"Tongwei, you're being too high-profile."
"You would have been better off as a simple warlord. You had to insist on becoming emperor. Now, I'm afraid no one can save you."
"Take care of yourself!"
Gao Yuliang thought this way, but his feelings were very complicated.
If Qi Tongwei develops his career slowly and keeps a low profile, with his abilities, he will definitely be able to establish himself in northern Myanmar, become a powerful warlord, and live a carefree and happy life.
But he insisted on declaring himself emperor, which was tantamount to inviting others to attack him.
Besides the Burmese government, the warlords in northern Myanmar will probably not let him off the hook either. After all, Qi Tongwei's ascension to the throne is tantamount to him defecating on the heads of those warlords.
Under these circumstances, Qi Tongwei and his Great Han Empire would naturally become the target of public criticism.
The reason Gao Yuliang had no intention of assisting Qi Tongwei was because he understood this: going there would be suicide, and he didn't want to die yet.
Moreover, if his responsibility is investigated by higher authorities, the crime he committed does not warrant death.
Even someone as high-ranking as him felt fear when faced with life and death.
Besides, he felt that Qi Tongwei's Great Han Empire had no future because its territory was too small, and the mere half of Karen State had very few resources.
Resources are crucial for the development of a country, especially a newly established one.
It was extremely unwise of Qi Tongwei to establish a country in such a small place!
Besides resources, the area under his jurisdiction has a small population, so if he were to conscript soldiers for war, he would not have many manpower. If the enemy were to wage a war of attrition against him, he would be worn down quickly.
From any perspective, Qi Tongwei and his Great Han Empire were in grave danger, and could be destroyed at any moment.
Gao Yuliang now only hopes that his student will have good fortune.

Inside a residential building.
Liang Lu sat on the sofa, staring blankly at the newspaper in her hand, her face full of disbelief.
This newspaper was given to her by her colleague. When she saw the news in the newspaper, she couldn't believe that the person reported in the newspaper was her husband, Qi Tongwei!
Emperor Qi! The Great Han Empire!
In her view, these domineering titles had absolutely nothing to do with Qi Tongwei, this homeless dog.
As Qi Tongwei's wife, Liang Lu knew him very well.
She admitted that Qi Tongwei was indeed capable and quite competent, especially during the time he was the director of the department, when he abused his power to do many illegal and disorderly things.
But to some extent, he is indeed very outstanding.
Even so, it's impossible for him to run to another country, become a warlord in less than a month, and now even become an emperor and establish a country.
However, the newspaper clearly stated it in black and white, and since it was an authoritative newspaper, they wouldn't dare to spread rumors. This matter must have been verified, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to report it.
In other words, her husband, Qi Tongwei, really did establish a country in northern Myanmar and even became emperor.
The thought of this made her feel uneasy.
She had no intention of saving Qi Tongwei during his most difficult time.
In her view, she had tried to dissuade Qi Tongwei from doing those things, but he wouldn't listen. She felt that she had fulfilled her duties as a wife.
Qi Tongwei's troubles were entirely his own fault and had nothing to do with her.
She did not believe she had done anything wrong in this matter.
Even during the time when Qi Tongwei was on the run, she always felt that she was right and never had any doubts in her heart.
But now, she felt somewhat lost.
Moreover, he felt a sense of loss and even a deep sense of regret.
Qi Tongwei is the emperor now, he controls a country. If she hadn't ignored Qi Tongwei back then, maybe he would have reconciled with her out of consideration for their past as husband and wife.
In this way, Qi Tongwei is the emperor, and she is the empress!
Such a prestigious status was something she never dared to even dream of.
But now, the opportunity is right in front of her, yet she has let it slip away.
She knows Qi Tongwei too well.
When they were married, they didn't have any feelings for each other to begin with, and with the things they went through together over the years, their feelings for each other had long since become meaningless.
