After that, the major forces united under the Levin Valian family began to fall apart, and no matter how hard the Valian royal family tried, the blood prince, who was still young at that time, only grasped the Western Star Domain after all, allowing Valian to return to the ranks of the largest family. The Hill family took the opportunity to annex most of the star fields in the south and then occupy the Fortress of Freedom. They reconstituted the Supreme Council and integrated the remaining First and Second Fleets to rebuild the current First Fleet, which was once loyal to the great nobles of the southern star region under the command of the Levin Valen, and suddenly became the largest family in control of the southern territory of the empire, and began to suppress the Levin Vallean family.

Eighty percent of the current Liberty Fortress Guard Fleet is drawn from the First Fleet, so it can be said that entering the spaceport of the Liberty Fortress is equivalent to putting their lives in the hands of the Hill family. Hill is in some kind of plot to kill the Emperor, so isn't their journey to the Fortress of Liberty in a sense meant that they are going to be in the mouth of a tiger?

"The Duke of Michel would probably not do such a thing," said the Chancellor of the Exchequer, half guessing and half sure, "the Emperor is already weak and has almost no power in the Supreme Council, so what good is it to kill him to our esteemed Vice-President?" It will also provoke our hatred, how can this be considered a deal that cannot be drawn, you say, Your Royal Highness? ”

Benny pursed his lips and stood up, annoyed by the Minister of Finance's words, "The Emperor is not an easy person to be traded with. ”

"This may not be....... "The Minister of Finance slowly walked back to his seat and picked up his teaglass, "There was once a large reward for the legendary "Discoverer" His Royal Highness Majere, one million federal dollars, and lo and behold, it is still worth a lot of money, you can buy a small ship." ”

"We're talking about the present, two," reminded the prince in a loud voice, "and don't talk about the past thousands of years ago, Sfränconen, do you know Hill the man?" ”

"I was impressed by him twenty years ago," the Chancellor of the Exchequer said slowly, taking a sip of his tea, "when I was a logistics soldier in the First Fleet, and I was a young and ignorant fool, a hairy boy like a fool, who was sixty years old at the time, ambitious and energetic, and who spoke with great incendiary and admirable eloquence, and to be honest, I was not surprised that he was able to take command of the First Fleet from the hands of the Levin Vallians, and emerge from the chaos of the South. He is a very determined man, and he can always eradicate cleanly against himself, and the Bethal family and the red-blooded Valian family are good examples. In short, his enemies feared him, and his subordinates feared him, but that was twenty years ago. ”

"Since the year before last when he was ill, our dear Deputy Speaker has never stood up, and I can feel that he has aged a lot, and he has become much more cautious, steady and conservative, and has the style that every old man should have, and in my opinion, he will never murder a weak emperor to provoke us, this emperor is still the husband of his daughter, and he will not want to see his daughter as a widow."

"The emperor you are talking about is the purest bloodline of the Valian family." Benny reminded with a stalk.

"No purer than Princess Ciri," Sfränkenen smiled, "good wine, even drugs, and to tell you the truth, Your Royal Highness, you should not have chosen him emperor at that time." ”

His words were right, and Prince Parr was silent.

When he was originally chosen as the heir, his grandfather Emperor Weimu thought about it for a long time, and finally let his eldest son, Emperor Taiwen, inherit the throne of the Emperor of the United Empire, and be a puppet, so that the youngest son---- the blood prince who had already shown his prominence at that time, inherited the position of governor of the adjacent galaxy, which was both a wrong and correct decision, and Emperor Taiwen gave birth to a child who died early due to an accident, and the second son was Gilly. Valen ---- known as the short-lived crown prince, and then the crown prince Gilly. Valian gave birth to the current Emperor of the Coordinator. Valian fell ill early, so that Emperor Taiwen sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man.

This emperor who was not educated by his father was deeply favored by his mother at a young age, he was addicted to the wine pond meat forest since he was a child, and he was especially interested in women, taking drugs, drag racing, and fighting, and the whole one could not support Adou, Emperor Taiwen planned to abolish his right to inherit the throne and let the descendants of the blood prince inherit the throne, so as to ensure that the fortress of freedom and the adjacent star can live together and restore Valen's prestige, but the blood prince, who was known for his cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness, was known for his ruthlessness and ruthlessness, out of respect for the last wishes of Emperor Vimu, And for the sake of the descendants of his only brother, he refused the will of Emperor Taiwen in public.

The scope of this incident is far beyond the imagination of the two old men, and the conflicts caused by the strife and reconciliation of the throne continue to pour out in the Valenne, some support the heir of Emperor Thaiwen, and some support the blood prince Tyranny. Valen's descendant, Valéan almost caused another split over this matter, but in the end, it was the Emperor and the Blood Prince who coordinated a compromise that made Ciri, known as the Rising Star of the Empire. Valéan became second in line to the royal family, giving the title of princess.

This incident made many people in Emperor Taiwen's family dissatisfied, but the matter had come to this point, and no one dared to openly challenge the power of the Blood Prince, and the matter came to an end. Self-prayer. After Valian became emperor, he remained the same, prostitution, fun, drug addiction, weakness and incompetence, rejection of the blood prince, and even after marrying the daughter of the deputy speaker as empress, he openly broke with Valen, even if everyone didn't say it, everyone understood that he was haunted by the fact that he was almost removed from the throne in the first place.

The Emperor is such a stupid person, this is undoubtedly a mistake of the Valian family, and it is also the biggest mistake in the life of the Blood Prince and Emperor Tyranny, this bitter fruit can only be swallowed now, but if it is allowed to be revealed by outsiders, Parr is still quite displeased.

"You always say things that don't go your way," Parr sighed, and he recalled once again what his father had said to him, "the Emperor is already an Emperor, even if he is weak, incompetent, arrogant, arrogant, even if he is just a useless puppet, he must sit on it, Valen cannot go through another split." Anyway, there's no useful result from the discussion here, Sfränkenen, I know you have a lot of friends in the Fortress of Liberty, oh ask, I'd like to hear what they know. ”

Minister of Finance Shi Shiran nodded yes.

After a while, he walked out, leaving Benny and Parr looking at each other.

"Parr," Benny glanced at Sfrunkonen who had disappeared at the end of the passage, and looked like he was about to speak, "the Minister of Finance ......"

"Too shrewd, not trustworthy," Parr was well aware of Sfronkonen's calculating, and his non-aristocratic code of conduct, for the sake of the arsenal was full of money, he could sell half-truths and half-truths to his opponents, he could open brothels at the entrances and exits of the spaceport, and even deal with his competitors by all kinds of unfair means, "but he was always my subordinate, the man I single-handedly promoted, and the Minister of Finance was in charge of financial management, and if he was stupid and stubborn, I would not have chosen him." ”

"Don't take his word for it, I've heard that he was shrewd and capable in the service of the Hill family," Benny admitted, "but his loyalty is in doubt." ”

"He's been honest with me about the Hill family," Parr reassured, "Benny, I'm not a fool, but you should understand where we are now, the Supreme Council rules the whole territory, and I don't have a trustworthy friend in the Council, so it's like a blindfolded jungle full of wild beasts and jackals, and no one is your eye, and soon we will be devoured by the jackals and wild beasts." Of course, I understand who can be trusted and who cannot be trusted, don't worry, I know in my heart. ”

He knew the danger of facing the Supreme Council controlled by the Hill family alone, but he also had to be fearless, even the Hill family had to consider the governors of the Western Star Domain standing behind the prince, as well as his second fleet.

This trip may be difficult, but it may not go wrong, he sent his younger brother Darren to guard the adjacent star field, naturally he is also in this consideration, "Don't worry, if something happens, my brother will not let it go," to his younger brother, he was always sure, "Benny, you are acting more and more like Professor Huan Jieyi, warning one after another, let me be cautious in my words and deeds, sooner or later, I don't mind promoting you to chief advisor." “

Benny only protested a few words against his ridicule, but he also understood that as long as the Second Fleet was still there, the Supreme Council would definitely not attack them, "You are right about this, they don't dare to do anything to us, but in any case, we still have to be careful, some traps cannot be fatal, but they are enough to make us passive, if we want to find out the truth about the emperor's illness, it is really not wise to listen to Sfrunconen's words." “

"Then find another trustworthy person," Parr sat across from him, solemnly, "I think of a man who is highly respected, and I don't trust him...... But he's probably not going to be Hill's man......."

"Can you be sure ......"

"Absolutely sure, even I can assure you, that he hates the Hill family to the core."

Hearing Prince Parr swear like this, Benny probably thought of something, in the past forty years, there are countless families who hate the Hill family, including the extinct Betal family and the red-blooded Valian family, the former is a family that has been loyal to Levin Valenian for many years, after the isolation war, the Hill family encircled and suppressed the remaining Levin Valen's forces, the Betar family unfortunately stood on the side of the loser, so their current family temple has been reduced to ashes. The latter were the nobles who openly took in the remnants of Levenvalen, and they soon followed in the footsteps of the Betals.

The main family of these two families has long been gone, and the remaining branches have also thrown themselves into the Hill family, but the Levin Vallean has not yet been wiped out, and a group of great councilors, including the nobles of the Eastern Star Domain and the Northern Star Domain, have come forward to save Levin Valen, who has caused the scourge of isolated war, just because they are happy to see the councilors of the Southern Star Region and the Western Royal Family shaken.

The man Parr was talking about, Benny guessed correctly, was probably him.
