Chapter 87 Chapter Seven Palace Secrets

"What? The emperor is dead?" Earl Elantus, who was on the flagship of the Silver Eagle Empire's expeditionary force, asked Robust in surprise. "Yes, the maid found out this morning." Robust nodded and said. "Hey, this emperor is so lucky to die, why did he choose to die at this time? How did the princes react?" Elantus asked angrily. "They all ran back to their own territory to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and they were ready to do a big job. Because we were not here, the guys in the imperial capital all ran to make out with the princes." Robust sneered

road. Elantus snorted coldly and said, "That's the way the seeds of Yatesite are. Why wouldn't they be like their uncle? For the sake of the empire, they stayed away from home and went to the enemy's land. If one of them is such a person, we need not be so distressed. " Robust nodded and said: "So in order for the Silver Eagle Empire to become the largest country in the universe, we must welcome back His Royal Highness the Emperor Taidi, relying on the blood of this group of Yatesite, we It is impossible for our Silver Eagle Empire to become the largest country in the universe! "

Elantus said deeply: "Of course, they don't have such ability, and this is the late emperor... Oh, it is the last wish of His Majesty the Twelfth." Speaking of this, Elantus suddenly revealed a worried look and said: "But, I am more worried about the group of princes, will someone win the throne and become emperor while we are fighting abroad? " Robust also said worriedly: "Yes, those military officials who are not suppressed by us will definitely take refuge in a certain prince, and no matter who wins, it will disrupt the foundation of the empire. , and those princes are not qualified to inherit the throne at all, at least not in this generation. "

Elantus looked at Robust and said: "We will return it for sure, and we have to read the thing, but who will pick up His Royal Highness? Darrens and Kester? " Robust nodded with a smile and said, "Of course they are. We trained them from the beginning to let them serve the emperor's younger brother." "Well, how about calling them here and explaining to them?" Elantus asked. "No, we can just leave a message for them, and we can also test their loyalty," Robust said. Elantus smiled and nodded in agreement. When Robust started to leave a message, Elantus suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you think we should take these people back?"

Of course Robust knew who Elantus was talking about, he nodded and said: "If we want to take them back, even if we don't take them back, they who have already heard about them will definitely steal them. Steal it back. "But we can just take them back and let them keep the fleet. After all, the newly occupied Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy still needs a strong military force to intimidate." "Okay, let's do it like this. I believe that as soon as they hear the news of returning to the imperial capital for the funeral, they will immediately abandon their troops and run back. Hand over the rest of the fleet to Darrens, Kegent and the others to take care of it."

up. "Ilantes nodded and said. On this day, in the Zola Galaxy, the Federal Army nervously put up a defensive formation, waiting for the Imperial Army to attack as a routine every day, and suddenly found that they had been let off by the Imperial Army!whole star zola There is no trace of an imperial warship! The federal army didn't dare to cheer. Their strength was reduced to only 400,000 by the imperial army, so they didn't dare and couldn't be careless. After careful radar exploration and contacting the spies lurking in the empire to report, the federal army finally breathed a sigh of relief and cheered loudly, because the emperor of the Silver Eagle Empire died!

Because the soldiers only knew about this matter, they were able to cheer happily, but those generals who knew that the Imperial Army had retreated to the Bone Cloud Dragon Galaxy did not retreat, but instead stationed themselves. There is no mood to cheer, because it means that the empire can invade again at any time. And Chen Yu, the top military officials, is not in a good mood. The death of an emperor means that another new emperor will be enthroned. Take the sword to establish the new emperor's martial arts. Now Chen Yu and the others can only expect that the princes will have the same discord as in the rumors, which will cause civil strife in the empire due to the seizure of the throne, so that the Federation will have time to rest and reorganize the army, otherwise relying on this

With these weary soldiers and wrecked ships, the Federation is really vulnerable. While the top leaders of the Federation were uneasy, Darrens, Kester and the others were in the Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy, leading the fleet to wander around bored. But their leisurely days are coming to an end. Today they suddenly received a report from their subordinates that 100,000 Imperial warships entered the Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy without warning, and they sent power to express their obedience to Darens, Kester's leader. Darrens and Kester, who didn't know what was going on at all, were surprised to receive a total of 30 major generals from the empire.

Seeing these people, Darrence was even more surprised, because there were not only direct subordinates of the two adults, but also direct subordinates of other nobles. What are adults doing?To send such a group of people and warships over, didn't they still have a heated fight with the Federation yesterday?Why are they all withdrawn today?Did an accident happen to adults? ? Thinking of this, Darrens, whose face had become ugly, immediately glanced at Kester, seeing that Kester's face was not very good-looking, knowing that his thoughts must be the same as his own, meaning Realized that something big happened.

Seeing Darrens's expression, a very young major general immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "Your Excellency, the Duke and the Earl led the officers of the ships and returned to the emperor for the funeral. In order not to lose Go to the already occupied Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy. The two adults sent us to help defend. Before the adults come back, we will accept your command. "Speaking, he took out a small disk and said : "This is a message from the two adults to Your Excellency." After speaking, he stood there waiting for Darrence to receive it. Although Darrens was shocked in his heart now, and wanted to know why the emperor's death was such a big deal, the earl didn't inform him, and even more wanted to know what words the earl left behind, but

Darren didn't move. Because this major general is the Duke's direct subordinate, it is impossible for him to give things to himself, although since he spoke, he has been implying that he is talking to himself, although he has been Did not name clearly, but has been showing Kester that everything is respected by Darrens, it can be said that he has been sowing discord, how could he do it if he is not a fool? What if it happens as he wishes? Kester, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, smiled coldly. He knew this major general, but it could be said that this guy was against him in the entire duke system. Maybe in his eyes, he was blocking his way. The road to promotion, even such an obvious method of provocation has come up. Kester saw that Darrens didn't move, and didn't make Darrens difficult. He stepped forward and snatched the disk from the major general's hand. Before the surprised major general could speak, he waved his hand and said: " There are three military planets in this galaxy, and the specific information is available in the fleet computer. You each arrange a place to go, and take the brothers below to take a rest. " If there is anyone among the generals of the empire who is the most popular among the soldiers, it is Kester. He does not argue with others, and even shows a smile to everyone, and he does not like to fight for power , so many generals have maintained friendly relations with him. After so many days of fighting, the major generals present have long wanted to take a good rest, and now Kester and Darrens have the highest ranks in the expeditionary force. Since the commander has ordered, then Can you still not follow?So the major generals immediately saluted and left. After all the major generals left, Darrens asked in a joking tone: "What is that major general doing? It seems to be targeting you." Kester scratched his head and said: "I don't know what's wrong with him. He used to trouble me all day long when he was in the imperial capital. After I was promoted to lieutenant general, he restrained himself a little. Come on, Look at what instructions the two adults left for us, they didn't even let us know about such a big thing as the funeral. "As he spoke, he inserted the disk into the computer on the desk. Darrens walked up to Kester, leaned against the table and said with a smile: "It's not that we are afraid that we will get involved in the battles of the princes. It is for our own good. You must know that if we go back, we will definitely You have to be forced to choose a prince to join. " Darrence's words fell silent at this point, because he was dazed by the projected stereoscopic image, and Kester stood there stupidly. When the news spread in the imperial capital that "the duke and the earl have returned with the expeditionary force!" Come to your own job. The panic-stricken people and the slaves who had begun to riot also calmed down and lived their lives obediently. At this moment, the imperial capital returned to calm. It can be said that once the Duke and Earl were killed, all the ghosts and ghosts disappeared. The three princes who recruited troops, dispatched troops, and worked in full swing in their own territories were all stunned when they heard the news, while those planners began to advise the princes to be careful. . Although the princes were very reluctant, they saw that the officials who were very warm with them suddenly became very obedient and started to do their jobs, and they never came to flatter me again. In addition, I have lived under the shadow of the Duke and Earl since I was a child, and I have understood for thousands of years that if I don't get rid of those two old guys, I will be just a puppet even if I become the emperor. So the princes could only swallow their anger and wait quietly for the return of the Duke and Earl.Of course, they also each sent many elite assassination troops to see if they could find out who escaped from the shadows. Opportunity. A few days later, the warships carrying Robust and Elantus stopped at the two space ports of the imperial capital without warning, and nearly a thousand people accompanied them back to see who the new master was. of nobles. Hearing that the Duke and Earl had arrived, the officials in mourning gowns who had been waiting outside the imperial city for a long time immediately lined up to welcome their boss. And the princes who were far away saw that the Duke and Earl arrived in the imperial capital intact, so they could only curse their incompetence while changing into mourning gowns and preparing to go to the imperial capital. They knew that they didn't stay in the imperial capital to be dutiful sons, and they would definitely be scolded by the old duke when they went there. When they thought of being pointed at to teach them a lesson, they felt annoyed, so they all ordered the spaceship to fly at the slowest speed. Apart from not wanting to be trained earlier, they also wanted to see if their subordinates had a chance to get rid of those two old guys. And the most important point is that they didn't tell anyone. At the same time, the princes also thought that apart from their father, they were the only ones who knew about it, that is, their father had warned them When he dies, he returns to the territory immediately, and when the duke and earl call him to go to the funeral, try to delay the time as much as possible. From these words, I felt that my father must have made some arrangements when he was dying.This arrangement is best to be a big explosion, let my two brothers be killed like this, then I will You can ascend to the throne without any effort. Robust and Elantes were wearing mourning gowns, and with a cold face, they brought the whole body of snow-white guards and nearly a thousand nobles in the same dress who followed them on an expedition, and came to a snow-white outside the palace gate. There are already two rows of tens of thousands of people standing at the gate of the city, one row of civilian officials and one row of military generals. Only the sound of the wind and the fluttering of flags could be heard from the entire city gate, other than that, there was not even a cough. Robust and Elantus ignored the officials who bowed to them, and walked towards the palace under the escort of the Praetorian Guards. And when the waiting officials saw the nobles following in, they also hurriedly followed.But instead of entering in an orderly manner like before, they swarmed in like grabbing things, Of course, the people who were hit and trampled did not dare to make a sound. Although the scene was chaotic, they still maintained a state of silence. In such a hurry, Robust and Eranster wanted to take out the identity certificate of the emperor's younger brother recorded by the twelfth emperor himself and read it out. Originally, this certificate should have been read out when Yatester ascended the throne, but Yatester didn’t read it out for some reason, and he didn’t want Robust to read it out. The beginning of Robust's confrontation with Yateste. That document was placed under the emperor's throne, and it needed to be opened by Robust and Eranster to open it. After everyone entered this huge hall that could accommodate tens of thousands of ministers, they immediately stood in their positions as usual in the court meeting. When everyone saw Robust and Eranster walking towards the empty emperor's throne at the same time, everyone became nervous. Could it be that they want to be emperors? Although some nobles wanted to speak out to stop them, they seemed to be concerned about something, opened their mouths and lowered their heads without speaking. The imperial guards who had been following Robust and Elantus subconsciously stopped when they saw the throne. Although Robust and Elantus noticed that their protective net had disappeared, they didn't pay much attention because they still had a protective shield that could withstand laser cannon attacks. They are very confident in the effect of their protective cover, because this protective cover has blocked countless assassinations for them. Robust and Elantus stood on both sides of the throne, reached out and touched under the chair, the red cushion began to rise slowly, revealing a metal box with two sockets . All the officials who saw this scene were taken aback. How could there be such a thing under the throne?Could it be that there is an edict to pass on the throne? Thinking of this, the nobles all smiled. It turned out that they were wrong. The Duke and Earl are indeed dedicated to the country. Robust and Elantus took out a magnetic card from their pockets, inserted it into the socket of the metal box, and with a click, the box opened. When Robust and Elantus jointly took out a roll of paper-like things and a few cards from the box, the people present took a deep breath and looked at Roberts with bright eyes. Things in the hands of Te and Elantus. Robust and Elantus turned to face the palaces. Robust unfolded the imperial decree that everyone present was familiar with and used only for important events, and looked at it a little excitedly. Everyone, opened their mouths and said: "My colleagues, I, my lord, read out here..." As soon as Robust finished speaking, he was interrupted by the exclamation of the imperial guards: "Assassin!" Although the imperial guards saw four figures jumping out from behind the screen of the throne and pounced on the Duke and Earl, they could only yell out the word "Assassin" and couldn't yell out any more. But the officials present only saw four figures overwhelming the Duke and the Earl, and before the screams came out of their throats, they saw four increasingly larger flames engulfing themselves. The warship patrolling the outer space of the imperial capital suddenly saw a huge flame emanating from the imperial capital, a flame that could be seen even from space, imagine how powerful it is, the dedicated officers immediately Immediately sounded the alarm, started martial law, and contacted the military department, but for some unknown reason, the line was disconnected all the time, and the communication of other departments was dialed, but the line was also disconnected, and there was no choice. Yu can only send a landing craft to contact. Soon the landing craft came back, and brought an unbelievable news: the palace was completely turned into ruins within hundreds of kilometers, and the headquarters of various departments built around the palace followed suit. away from the palace. All the officials who participated in the funeral were all gasified, and the middle and high-level officials of the empire and most of the upper-middle-class nobles were all finished. It can be said that the military and political officials of the empire no longer exist. When the captain of the patrol team heard the prompt from the central computer that he had become the highest-ranking person in the imperial capital and had to shoulder the important task of defending the imperial capital, he couldn't help being stunned. I'm just a lieutenant colonel. In the imperial capital, which was captured by the lieutenant general and major general, I actually became the highest military officer in the imperial capital? And a postmaster who had nothing to do on vacation and wasted his time whipping slaves on the farm, when the central computer informed him that he had become the chief executive of the imperial department, he couldn't help but fainted from fright He was on the ground, but was killed by the beaten slave, so that his position as the chief executive of the imperial capital was taken over by his deputy. The princes, who had only sailed for less than half the distance, couldn't help jumping up in cheers immediately after receiving the news, and then nervously asked if their brothers were at the scene. When the other party is alive and kicking like himself, he can't help cursing the other party's ancestors at the same time. Immediately afterwards, these princes immediately ordered to turn around and return to the territory. Now that all the middle and senior officials have died, the only one who can make him sit on the throne is his own strength. Darrens and Kester are in a daze because the owner of this stereoscopic image is Olmsted in the uniform of the Wanluo Federal Marshal! Darrence and Kester looked at each other stupidly, then smiled wryly at the same time: "I didn't expect it to be him." While the two sighed, the stereoscopic video continued to play. The image of Olmsted disappeared and was replaced by the image of Robust. Robust said: "Don't be surprised, the earl and I are loyal to him. Maybe you will be surprised, why Why would we pledge allegiance to a marshal of an enemy country? " "Actually, before he arrived at the Wanluo Federation, he was the beloved son of His Majesty the Twelfth Emperor of the Silver Eagle Empire, and also the half-brother of His Majesty Yatest." Speaking of this, Robust sighed: "And I and the earl are His Highness's Wenjiao and Wu Dun respectively." Darrens and Kester nodded and thought, "No wonder you two are loyal to him, so he is your apprentice." Of course, Robust didn't know the psychological activities of the two of them, and continued: "His Highness Olmsted was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, studious, inquisitive, diligent and brave, kind and considerate. At that time, His Highness even showed outstanding military and political talents, and won the love and admiration of the emperor and his important officials. At this moment, His Highness's achievements have far surpassed those of other princes. "Under the proposal of the important ministers, His Majesty the Emperor intends to make Olmsted the crown prince. Unfortunately, Olmsted's mother is just a woman without noble status, so Olmsted In the royal family tree, it can only be regarded as an illegitimate child. "At that time, Atest's mother was also the queen. She immediately intervened and launched many assassinations of Omster. Although they all failed, it was enough for His Majesty to realize that Orm In order to eliminate hidden dangers, His Majesty made concessions to the queen, canonized Yatest as the crown prince, and canonized His Royal Highness Olmsted as the emperor's younger brother.And after the canonization, immediately Send Olmster to the Wanluo Federation. "We were able to successfully destroy the security point and occupy the Bone Cloud Dragon galaxy. This is all thanks to His Royal Highness Ormus. You personally received the information. I believe you now Already know. " Robust took a break and continued: "Now the imperial capital is in chaos, we need to stabilize the situation for the emperor's younger brother, and the emperor's younger brother's identity certificate needs to be taken out in front of the officials. Read it, so I leave it to you to welcome the emperor's younger brother. I believe you will not let me down. "The image disappeared at this point. Darren Skys waited for the two of them to stand there silently, and it took Darrens a while to say, "What do you think about this?" Kester said: "I don't think much about it, I just find it strange that according to the Duke, the Twelfth is a queen who is full of paternal love but is very troubled by the harem battle and cares about the people." God, this is also recorded in the history of our country. "However, foreign history clearly records that the Twelfth Emperor is a cruel, bloodthirsty and perverted emperor. The palace recruits tens of thousands of maids every year, but these court ladies only see It is not obvious that the department in charge of court affairs in our country has records of these court ladies. "During the reign of the Twelfth Emperor, millions of maids were recruited, but I never heard of any of them coming out, and the palace is only so big, where are these millions of people? "Also, according to foreign historical records, it is said that more than 300,000 people were executed by the twelfth emperor himself. Remember that it is said by hand, even if you kill one person a day, you will kill hundreds of people. In 2010, think about how cruel the Twelfth World was. "According to the historical records of our country and foreign countries, during the reign of the Twelfth Emperor, the slave riots were the most severe in the history of the empire. I believe you also know how often the slaves riot now. , and at that time, slaves rioted almost every day. From this point, one can imagine how terrifying the rule of the Twelfth Emperor was. "What's even more frightening is that, according to the records of the empire, the Twelfth had thousands of descendants and grandchildren during his lifetime, but after his death, there were only three descendants of his direct bloodline left in the entire empire." Prince, oh, now there is another Olmstedt. "Besides, there is not even a single princess or grandson left behind. In the death records of these princes, grandchildren and princesses, there is only one common reason: sudden illness and death. "As for the remaining three princes, except Yatesite, the other two are all insane, so Yatesite will ascend the throne without any difficulty. "At that time, there were rumors in the palace that Yatesite would often wake up from his sleep and shouted no. This rumor did not disappear until the first prince of Yatesite was born." Kester saw Darrens listening to his words attentively, he couldn't help licking his lips and continued: "You said, such a terrifying person would be sent to Are you going abroad?Maybe you think that the queen is so powerful that even the terrifying Twelfth World can't take her? " "Let me tell you, during the reign of the Twelfth, a reporter who followed the empress of another country to visit our country once returned and reported a piece of news about the violence in the harem of the Silver Eagle Empire. Also That is to say, the queen that the Duke spoke of was abused by the Twelfth King so much that even journalists interviewing from a distance could find out what happened to her. "I have also interacted with the queen's family. From their mouths, I know that the queen of the twelfth is a very kind person. And the most important point is that the queen of the twelfth is barren. Art Sturt was named after the queen was named prince. "You said, would the queen brutally assassinate another prince for a prince who has not been named under her own name, or for a prince she doesn't know? I would say that the prince The reason why she didn't know about Yatesite was because before she became the crown prince, the queen certainly didn't know about the existence of Yatesite in a family of thousands of people. " Darrence, who was stunned by the inside story of the palace, shook his head and asked soberly: "What do you mean by that, the Duke lied?" Kester said with a smile: "The Duke did not lie about Olmsted's identity, but I think the Duke lied about why Olmsted was sent to the enemy country." "Oh? From your tone, it seems that you know the reason why Olmsted was sent away? How about telling me?" Darrens said with great interest. Kester curled his lips and said: "It's needless to say, just guess it. With the perverted personality of the Twelfth World, even his children will be finished by him. "The Duke and Earl, who are responsible for educating the princes about civil and military knowledge, thought that such an outstanding talent as Olmsted could not be destroyed in the hands of the Twelfth, so they proposed to the Twelfth that Olmsted should be submerged. Suggestions for ambushes in enemy countries. "Here I want to talk about the pervert of the Twelfth King. Although he is merciless to his relatives and slaves, and can even be said to be perverted, he is very lenient to the officials under him. Otherwise He was overthrown long ago.It was also for this reason that the Twelfth King accepted the suggestions of the two adults, or rather, he thought it would be more interesting to play with his son like this. "At the beginning, the two adults thought that the remaining princes would be killed by the Twelfth King soon, so they were already making preparations to welcome Olmsted back at that time, but they didn't expect the Twelfth King to die soon. At that time, there was actually a prince who was mentally normal, and he was appointed a prince. In desperation, he suggested that Olmsted should be canonized as the emperor's younger brother. "It is believed that the Twelfth Emperor passed away after the canonization of Olmster, otherwise, the matter of the emperor's younger brother could not be kept secret to the extent that only the two adults and Olmster knew about it." Darrens said with a smile: "That's really good, it seems like you are at the scene. Well, what should we do now? How should we welcome His Royal Highness Olmsted, the federal marshal, back?" Kester shrugged helplessly, and said, "How do I know what to do? Could it be that I shouted at Marshal Olmsted to the whole universe, we will pick you up and become the emperor of the Empire!" I'm afraid we As soon as he finished shouting, he was shot dead, and His Royal Highness Olmsted was also arrested by the federal government.Now all we can do is wait. " "What are you waiting for?" Darrens asked curiously. "Wait for the two adults to read the identity certificate of His Royal Highness Olmsted, and wait for His Highness Olmsted to come to find us." After Kester finished speaking, he began to drink his own wine. Hearing this, Darrence looked at Kester's back thoughtfully, and after lowering his head to think about something, he raised his head and showed a smile.
