"Your Majesty!"

Rao is octopus has experienced countless big scenes, and now he is also scared to the core. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He never expected that one of his own pieces of news would make the old king of Zhulu so angry that he vomited blood.

The intelligent AI female physician Suzaku calmly raised her half-spirit arm, and the automated genetic first aid kit next to the throne was immediately opened.

A robotic arm quickly stabbed a needle filled with bright red liquid into the lungs of the old king of the deer.

After a few seconds, the old king's face gradually returned to ruddy, and his breathing became stronger.

The octopus breathed a sigh of relief, but its eyes were still full of worry.

Obviously, the physical condition of the old king has reached a very serious level.

In the next period of time, I am afraid that the entire Zhulu Empire will be in turmoil.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest."

The intelligent AI female physician Suzaku reminded in a stern tone.

The old king waved his hand, ignoring Suzaku's suggestion.

"Lao Zhang, you ...... Go on, this king knows, Yongxing Star ...... How big are the losses in the areas where civilians gather. ”

The octopus hesitated for a moment, and then said in a slow voice: "Of the ten civilian gathering areas, five have been swept by the eldest prince. The vast majority of the labor force was taken by the eldest prince as slaves, and all property and resources were forcibly seized by the eldest prince. ”

"This bastard!"

The old king thumped his fists angrily, and then coughed violently.

The Suzaku behind him suddenly frowned, and a pair of dark blue eyes glanced at the old king of Zhulu urgently.

After confirming that it was not a big deal, Suzaku did not interfere.

After all, she is just an intelligent AI, and all her actions are to serve the old king.

The old king gasped a few times and cursed weakly: "That rebel has forgotten all the king's years of kingly education!" The king had told him countless times that the king of a nation should fear his own people, and not let his people fear the king. If the people fear the king, they will rise up and overthrow tyranny! ”

"Ahem! Why doesn't that rebel understand this truth? ”

"In order to win, he didn't look for the right way, but blindly unscrupulous means, and even made a good Yongxing satellite people miserable!"

"How can this king allow such a person to inherit the throne of the Zhulu Empire?!"

A look of determination flashed in the old king's eyes.

The octopus looked confused, "Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to intervene?" ”

The old king sighed heavily, and leaned back on the back of the chair that was dissatisfied with the thorns of the antlers, as if the pain caused by the iron and sharp antlers was nothing at this time.

"Forget it."

After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed and said: "This king once said that this assessment between the heirs, this king will definitely not interfere and favoritism, and everything will be said after the assessment is over." The misfortune suffered by the civilians on the Yongxing satellite will be redoubled after the assessment. ”

"Understood, Your Majesty."

The octopus nodded calmly.

Actually, this is not a good idea.

The octopus also knew in his heart that the old king did not stop the eldest prince in order not to interfere in the game.

The real reason is that the old king is now powerless.

Behind the four heirs, there is a regent who supports him.

The backer behind the eldest prince is the eastern regent, who controls the economic lifeline of the entire Zhulu Empire.

The supporter behind the second prince is the western regent who controls the military power of the entire Zhulu Empire.

The backer behind the little prince is the southern regent, who controls the entire network of connections at the top of the empire.

Only the supporter behind the third princess Li Binglin is the northern regent with a clean breeze.

However, among the four regents, the most unprovoked is precisely the northern regent.

Even the old king of Zhulu had to pay tribute to Xiang Fan, the regent of the north, and the regent of other parties did not dare to be disrespectful to Xiang Fan.

What they dare not do, Xiang Fan dares to do.

What Xiang Fan can do, they may not dare to do.

These four regents can be said to basically control the entire Zhulu Empire.

Although the old king was seriously ill, his mind was not confused at all.

Didn't he know which of his four sons and daughters was more suitable for the next king?

No.

He already had the right person in mind.

But the question is how to balance the forces of the four major regency, which is the most important thing.

While he was alive, he could still suppress the four major regents.

But once he dies, who will suppress the four regents?

He must ensure that the future heir has a good starting point.

Therefore, it seems that this assessment is testing the four heirs, but the real intention is to take this opportunity to make the four major regents fight each other and weaken each other.

If the old king had been given a few more years of life, maybe things wouldn't have to be so troublesome, and he would have been able to easily weaken the regent by taking action himself.

But his condition deteriorated too quickly.

Even the intelligent AI Suzaku can't do it.

Therefore, although the old king was very angry with the eldest prince's actions, the old king could only endure it because of the eastern regent behind the eldest prince.

The octopus keenly smelled the old king's twilight and the hero's twilight.

Thinking of his loyal service to the old king for so many years, a trace of sadness could not help but appear on the face of the octopus.

The other ministers regarded him as a beast of prey, but in his heart he was fiercely loyal to the old king.

It is precisely because of this unreserved loyalty that other ministers do not dare to have the slightest deviance.

The old king noticed the eight-clawed octopus's expression.

He smiled dumbly: "Lao Zhang, you don't have to be sad. You just have to remember to be loyal to the master of this throne forever. ”

The octopus immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please don't say such things, Your Majesty's body will definitely have a way to recover." ”

The old king shook his hand, "It's been more than ten years...... Ben Wang Bai has lived for more than ten years, which is enough. Get up, and report to me about the colony. ”

"Yes."

The octopus wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, pointed to the chart on the holographic screen and continued:

"The third place is the Yongning Colony where the second prince is located."

"The total area of the Yongning Colony has now reached twenty square kilometers, the total population has reached two thousand, and in terms of resource points, you can get 2,000 resource points per day. Economic achievements, military construction, and popular sentiment scores are all considered average. ”

The old king frowned and asked, "This king remembers that the initial data of the Yongning Star Colony is much the same as the current data?" Why hasn't this second prince improved at all? ”

The octopus reported: "Your Majesty, according to my spy intelligence, the second prince spends all his days drinking and drinking, and does not think about government affairs, and all the construction of the base is handed over to an imperial general-level commander sent by the Western Regent to operate. ”

"Oh? Imperial Army? The old king was thoughtful.

The Western Regent controlled most of the Imperial Army in the Zhulu Empire, and it was very easy to assign a general-level commander to manage the Yongning Colony.

But the old king felt that things would not be so simple.

Sure enough, the octopus continued: "At present, the colony of Zhengyongning Star is already full of Imperial Army troops, and the source of troops is still growing covertly. If this continues, by the end of the assessment, the forces in the hands of the second prince may be able to destroy any colony. (To be continued.) )
