Chapter 153: Monopoly of power

The tense atmosphere in the imperial capital made everyone feel breathless, and what was originally the most prosperous and lively place in the entire empire was now deserted like a ghost domain.

As the 9th Fleet hijacked the Emperor and other high-ranking officials, the entire center of the empire came to a standstill, and although martial law was imposed on the army, no one could do anything about how to rescue the emperor and high-ranking officials.

Several fleets stationed in the defensive circle of the imperial capital were also faced with a dilemma, they wanted to launch a military operation to rescue the emperor, but they also threw a rat trap, in case the emperor had three longs and two shorts, no one could afford to bear this responsibility.

Even though the Xinghan Empire had a million-strong army, it was helpless at this time, and could only wait for the development of events to see what kind of outcome would be in the end.

Liu Yi and the others also paid close attention to the development of the situation on the transport ship, which was related to the stability of the empire and everyone's vital interests.

Liu Yi and Tang Jie were both pessimistic about the outcome of the incident, believing that the empire would fall into chaos because of this, and once the empire collapsed, I am afraid that the next war would be an endless war.

However, Tang Jie's parents did not see it that way, especially Tang Lun, who was more optimistic about the outcome of the incident, believing that the empire would not collapse because of this incident.

"You're all thinking too much, and those guys in the 9th Fleet don't dare to do anything to the Emperor." Tang Lun said: "If they really wanted to assassinate the emperor, they would have done it a long time ago, and it would not have become the current stalemate. ”

Tang Jie disagreed with his father's optimism, and retorted: "Dad, you think too simply, the 9th Fleet dares to do this, no matter what the result is, I am afraid that there will be many people who will follow suit in the future, and the empire has really been shaken this time." ”

Tang Lun waved his hand and said: "No, no, the empire has lasted for so many years, not everyone can be the emperor, even if others come to power by coup d'état, they don't dare to touch the throne of the emperor's family, you look at it, it won't take a few days to have a result." ”

"I don't believe it!"

"You see, maybe we haven't arrived at Yaqiu yet, and the matter will have a result." Tang Lun said quite confidently.

A few days later, the ship arrived at the edge of the Unicorn system, and just as everyone was preparing to enter the jump, the communication service that had been interrupted was finally restored.

The people, who have been held back for many days, spread all kinds of news on the Internet as if venting, and a large amount of news came like a tide for a while, dizzying people.

Looking at these news that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, like a flood, Liu Yi and the others really don't know what to believe. Some gossip said that the coup of the 9th Fleet was successful, and Gao Ban wanted to be emperor......

There are also sources that claim that the coup was unsuccessful, that the emperor and Gao Ban were all gone, and that the empire was going to elect a new emperor, most likely the emperor's younger brother......

These gossips are said to be from the palace, and people don't know whether they are true or not.

Tang Lun said proudly: "Look, the communication service has been reopened, which means that the matter has come to an end, but it has not been officially announced to the public." ”

Although Liu Yi and Tang Jie were still a little skeptical about Tang Lun's judgment, everything that happened next quickly confirmed Tang Lun's guess.

Two days later, the official release of the news from the empire immediately caused a violent reaction from the whole empire.

The Empire officially announced that His Majesty had reconciled with the 9th Fleet that had staged the coup d'état, and that the 9th Fleet would continue to serve His Majesty, and that His Majesty had forgiven the 9th Fleet's actions and pardoned them for their disobedience.

Although the official announcement was an understatement and did not seem to have happened, a discerning person could see at a glance that Gao Ban and the others had not been punished in any way, which only meant that the coup had been successful and the emperor had to make compromises.

This result caused an uproar throughout the empire, and Liu Yi and Tang Jie were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end.

Tang Lun said to the two: "You are still too young, you think that in the end it will be the result of your life and death, in fact, things rarely develop to that extent, especially politics, which is always full of compromises and concessions, and the result of the two sides fighting to the death rarely happens." ”

After listening to Tang Lun's words, Liu Yi had to admit that although Tang Lun didn't seem very reliable many times, after all, he had eaten more than himself, and his judgment of things was still much more sophisticated than that of himself and Tang Jie.

Although Liu Yi wanted to continue to observe the development of the situation, at this time the transport ship had already entered the transition and could no longer receive any information from the outside world.

By the time Liu Yi and the others regained information from the outside world, it was nearly two months later, and they had reached the edge of the Yaqiu galaxy at this time.

Two months is enough time for a lot of things to happen, Liu Yi couldn't wait to read all the major news in the past two months, and the result surprised him again.

In just these two months, a series of major events have happened in the empire, especially in the imperial capital, and they are even more important one after another.

First of all, Gao Ban was appointed by the emperor as the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, and the original commander-in-chief, Huang Ding, was relieved of all his duties and handed over to a military court to investigate the guilt.

The second major event was that there were a lot of personnel changes in the Council, with nearly half of the Council members either resigning or being transferred, and a new group of people being added.

Although the emperor is the highest authority in the empire, the emperor generally does not personally intervene in government affairs, and the political affairs committee is the body that controls specific power in place of the emperor.

Therefore, the government council is regarded as the apex of officials, and to be able to enter this committee is equivalent to standing at the pinnacle of imperial power.

Normally, the administrative committee is appointed every four years to adjust the personnel, and usually the administrative councillor is not replaced unless there is a special reason.

There are usually 15 members on the council, and each change is made to a maximum of three or four, and it is usually because of age. However, this time, nearly half of the candidates were replaced in one go, which can be said to be a major change of power, and the original rulers have been driven out.

In addition to the major personnel changes in the political affairs committee, the military top brass has also changed generals, many military veterans have either chosen to retire or have been transferred to other galaxies, and almost the entire military top brass has become the original 9th Fleet.

In fact, the most eye-catching thing is Gao Ban, he not only served as the commander-in-chief, but also served as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the commander of the Imperial Capital Defense Army was Gao Ban's original deputy - Zhang Qi.

Seeing this important news, even those who have never cared about political affairs should understand that the coup d'état of the 9th Fleet has been victorious, and the military and political power of the empire has fallen into the hands of these people.

In the face of such a result, the several fleets stationed in the imperial capital can only choose to obey, and once they resist, Gao Ban can completely rely on the command system and national defense system in his hands to grasp the command of these fleets in his own hands.

Originally, these methods were left to prevent the army from mutiny, but now they have fallen into the hands of Gao Ban, so that he can take power alone, leaving those who resist him helpless.

Another thing worth noting is that although the official network communication has been restored, martial law in the imperial capital has not been lifted, and ships are still not allowed to enter and exit the imperial capital.

Liu Yi is very worried about the safety of his teacher Yu Wensong, now that Gao Ban and others have seized power through a coup d'état, the next step is likely to purge the original officials, and a high-level think tank like Yu Wensong, who has mastered a lot of important secrets, may be very dangerous.

However, Old Man Tang told Liu Yi that after many inquiries, there was still no news of Yu Wensong, and it was likely that he had been secretly controlled.

Liu Yi is very aware of the teacher's temper, and he is likely to refuse to cooperate with Gao Ban and these people, so that the teacher's situation is more than auspicious.

Old Man Tang told Liu Yi not to worry, he would continue to send people to inquire, and at the same time, he would ask friends in the officialdom to help find him, in short, he would definitely give Liu Yi a clear result.

Liu Yi was far away, and even if he was anxious, he had no choice but to stop thinking about it for the time being, and focus on how to expand the military industry of Jieyi.

After a few months away from Yaqiu, there was still not much change here, but as soon as he returned, Liu Yi immediately had a lot of affairs to be handled and a lot of entertainment.

Liu Yi was busy from morning to night, and at the same time had to socialize with all kinds of people, almost so tired that he couldn't even tell the difference between day and night.

Because Jieyi's mecha of the military industry shined at this air show, many buyers came to the door, but Liu Yi couldn't cope with it, so he pushed these things to Tang Jie.

Tang Jie didn't have the patience to deal with these soft and hard buyers, so he pushed the matter to his parents, and Tang Lun and his wife happened to be veterans in this area, dealing with these buyers every day, but they temporarily forgot about their discomfort with Yaqiu, and immersed themselves in busy talks all day long.

Just when Liu Yi, Tang Jie and the others were busy in the dark, a storm was brewing in the imperial capital, and this storm came so suddenly that many people did not expect it.

The cause of the incident originated from the annual Imperial Military Memorial Day, which is mainly to commemorate those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and has always been highly valued.

Especially in recent years, the war with the rebels has caused a large number of casualties, and the 9th Fleet is one of them, so the military top brass led by Gao Ban proposed to hold an unprecedented commemorative event to comfort the fallen soldiers and those who are serving the empire.

Originally, the purpose of this proposal was good, but unfortunately, someone decided to use this grand commemorative event to set off a coup d'état against Gao Ban and others!
