Randall looked at the other eagerly, and he was confident enough that they would change their attitude. These two people can be said to be the core figures in the Luhua Academy, and they also hold great power, so they must be recruited. As long as they are willing to agree to support themselves, the throne of supreme power will soon be theirs!

Bernard was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Your Majesty's camp is about to return to the imperial capital, and everything will be calm and quiet at that time, so there is no possibility that your plan will be realized!" ”

"As long as you are willing to help me, Your Majesty will never be able to return to the imperial capital!" Randall did not shy away from saying, "I have far more fleets in my hands than Your Majesty, and the only thing that is difficult to deal with is the Death Star ship!" If Jin Yue is willing to hand over the control of those five Death Star ships to me, all the forces in this imperial capital will be no problem! ”

"Your words are indeed very beautiful, and many alumni from Luhua Academy have been fooled by you, right?" Jin Yue stared at him and said word by word:

"But at the end of the day, you're just doing it for your own selfishness!"

"Long before Your Majesty's accident, you were already working on your plan to rebel, right? Senior Randall, with your previous network in the school, many alumni are very close to you, and you are interested in making friends to please them, which makes your prestige in this circle quite high, otherwise how could you have gathered so many fleets to help you in such a short period of time? ”

"Your Majesty just had an accident, you knew the news, and colluded with foreign races, provided them with all kinds of unknown conveniences, let them kidnap the queen, and then you lobbied around, wantonly sealed officials and made wishes, and attracted many officials and nobles to use for you! Even in order to prevent His Majesty from returning to the imperial capital, he brazenly ordered an attack on the camp! ”

"Everything you have done is not at all to safeguard the interests of the circle of Luhua Academy, you are just using them, using their net worth and lives, the flesh and blood of hundreds of millions of soldiers, to pave the way for your ambition! All you have in your eyes is the emperor's throne! ”

Randall choked for a moment before calmly replying:

"Attacking His Majesty's camp is not my idea alone. You should understand that although His Majesty has fallen, certain forces that are loyal to him will not easily give up their authority. Once they return to the Imperial Capital, it will be a big obstacle to our plans! So from the standpoint of our group, His Majesty's camp should not come back at all! ”

"It's not our group, it's your Randall standing! It's hard for you to figure this out! Jin Yue sneered.

Bernard said lightly: "Even if everything goes as you wish, when you really sit in that seat, you will forget today's words completely, because from the position of an emperor, the people in the circle of Luhua Academy are just tools for you to get things done!" Once you're in a secure position, the most likely one to attack us is you Randall! ”

“…… You're right! Randall was silent for a while, and finally said calmly:

"As an emperor, you will never allow the power of the empire to be too concentrated in the hands of a certain person or group! Even in extraordinary times, no emperor would allow such a situation to persist for a long time. Yun Haoyu was aware of this problem before the expedition and had already begun to make some changes, which is one of the reasons why I started this project! ”

"Those guys down there don't understand politics, so they took my promise and risked their lives for me! So after the deed is done, for the sake of their sacrifices, I will not personally clean them up, but will fake it to others, which can be regarded as leaving them with the last bit of dignity! ”

"So, you're a ** thief!" Jin Yue said disdainfully, "In the final analysis, your status in the empire or among the alumni of Luhua Academy is not the highest!" Not even as good as us, why do you ask us to be loyal to you? The empire falling into the hands of people like you is by no means a blessing for the people of the trillions of empires! ”

"Not necessarily! Those policies that Yun Haoyu can implement, I can also implement! Although I am not a good person, I know how to be a good emperor! "And if you refuse to help me, then your fate will not be much better if I fail!" No matter who the new emperor is, your outcome will not change in the slightest! Only by working with me can your interests be guaranteed! ”

Bernard stood up, made a gesture to see off the guest, and said flatly: "Senior Randall, this is the last time I call you like this!" If you still remember your past friendships and have a minimum conscience, you'd better stop from the precipice, otherwise no one will be able to save you in the future! ”

"The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other! Please! ”

Randall said unwillingly: "Can't you still see the current situation clearly? If ......"

"Enough!" Jin Yue said indifferently, "Randall, you are a real politician!" And we are precisely this kind of person who we hate the most! You're no longer welcome here, please! ”

The Foreign Secretary's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and then he said calmly: "Okay! I won't say anything, but I hope you will seriously consider my proposal! ”

After speaking, he nodded slightly and went out without looking back.

"What now?" Waiting for his speeding car to disappear into the sky, Jin Yue said a little anxiously:

"Since this guy has been planning for a long time, I am afraid that there is a lot of hidden strength in his hands, in addition to our circle, there may be other forces that have also been pulled into the water by him, and I don't know how much effort it will take to clean him up when the time comes!"

"We don't have the power to fight, what can we do?" Bernard sighed, "Su Shangqing is still blocked by his people on the side of the Southwest Star Sea and can't come back, and he is not the only one who has dissenting forces in the imperial capital, this mess can't be settled by us alone!" ”

"For the sake of today, let's wait for His Majesty to come back first!"

……

On July 29, 7,942 in the interstellar calendar, the first large-scale armed conflict finally broke out in the imperial capital, pushing the already turbulent situation into a more complex and delicate situation.

The cause of the incident was Zhong Chenying's cleanup of the Praetorian Guard, and things were going well, but in the middle of the plan to remove the officers, due to the leakage of the two traitors, Zhong Mingrui and Randall learned of the princess's moves, and secretly instigated some officers to mutiny, mobilizing their own forces to suddenly attack the Praetorian Guard fleet loyal to His Majesty.

As a result, after a fierce battle, although the attack of these rioters was repulsed, the ten Praetorian Guard legions controlled by Zhong Xuanying who stayed in the imperial capital were divided into three! Fifty percent of them are still loyal to His Majesty, and the rest are each pulled away by Randall and Zhong Mingrui!

This battle has greatly stimulated the sensitive nerves of the forces on all sides, and everyone has fully realized that if there are not enough troops to sit in the imperial capital, then the next feast to divide the power of the empire will not be qualified for them to participate at all!

As a result, one after another orders were sent from the imperial capital to all parts of the empire, and all the nobles no longer cared about the ban of the empire, mobilized all their private fleets, and rushed to the imperial capital day and night!

And some of the imperial legions stationed in the local area, under the orders of certain forces in the imperial capital, also began to secretly move, intending to participate in this game of power struggle.

In less than a few days, the various fleets gathered in the star fields around the imperial capital exceeded four million! From the most elite mixed imperial legions to the most modest local garrisons, as well as the private armies of small and medium-sized nobles. However, they didn't mean to make a big move at the moment, they just set aside a piece of territory and stationed there, and then guarded each other!

Fortunately, at this time, His Majesty the Emperor's camp finally arrived at the periphery of the Tianhua Star Domain!

At this moment, the eyes of all the forces in the imperial capital were on the camp, and many fleets were eager to try, as if they were planning to attack it in groups.

After discussing with Luo Qiyue, Zhong Xuanying finally decided to take the risk of sending part of the fleet to meet them.

Fortunately, the wormhole leading to the outer realm of the Tianhua star system is still under the control of the Praetorian Legion, coupled with the main gun deterrence of the Death Star ship, so there is no danger in the process of passing through the wormhole.

When Zhong Qianying saw this legion for the first time, she couldn't help but change color on her face, the million-scale fleet had shrunk by one-third at the moment, and many of the remaining battleships were still injured, which showed how tragic the battle was along the way!

"You're back!" When she saw Feng Lanxi and the others, she had an urge to cry:

"If it's a few days late, I'm afraid this imperial capital will really change the sky!"

The great wise man hugged her gently, and said distressedly: "It's hard for you! Don't worry, everything will be fine! By the way, what is the situation of Chiyue? ”

"She just gave birth, mother and daughter are safe!" Zhong Xuanying said, "I didn't dare to leave her in the palace, so I sent her to the Star Fortress and brought her over!" ”

Everyone was surprised and worried, Yang Wentao frowned and said, "Could it be that Queen Xiao is also ......?"

"She shouldn't betray Your Majesty," Feng Lanxi sighed, "All this should be done by her family, but now like this, I'm afraid everything can't be left to her!" ”

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Jerome gritted his teeth.

"Now?" Feng Lanxi thought for a while and said, "This is not in a hurry, let's go back to the imperial palace first, and then gather the ministers loyal to His Majesty to discuss major matters!" ”

So, the two legions merged and headed for the third planet.

Halfway through, a royal fleet of about 1,000 ships arrived in a hurry.

"Your Highness, it's Empress Xiao's ship!" The officer in charge of liaison said, "She said that she had come to meet Your Majesty!" ”

Before Feng Lanxi could speak, Zhong Xuanying said angrily: "Only then did you remember? Why did you go earlier? No, let her go back by herself! ”
