Chapter 836: The Final Showdown (Medium)

In the study, three former classmates and now important ministers of the empire sat silently, and the atmosphere was dull and depressing.

Jin Yue's face was gloomy, he pursed his lips tightly and didn't say a word, Bernard squinted slightly, leaned lazily on the sofa, and didn't make a sound for a long time, as if he was out of the world.

Randall sipped his coffee unhurriedly, smiling and waiting patiently.

"In just over a week, Your Majesty's camp will return to the imperial capital!" After a long silence, Jin Yue finally spoke.

"Yes!" Randall nodded, "It's a fact that everyone knows, and no one can stop it!" Unless all the five Death Star ships in Base Zero are dispatched and all the Praetorian Guard Corps stationed in the imperial capital are mobilized, Yang Wentao can be suppressed! ”

Bernard smiled coldly: "But even if it can be suppressed, it is impossible to eliminate it, with his ability, if he insists on leaving, no one can stop him!" ”

"But as long as Your Majesty's camp can't return to the Imperial Capital, then it won't be long before a second emperor will appear in the Imperial Capital," Randall smiled slightly, "In this way, in terms of momentum, at least he can form an equal momentum with His Majesty, and as time goes by, the situation will gradually develop in favor of the new lord of the Imperial Capital!" If Your Majesty can't get out of trouble for a long time! ”

"What if Your Majesty can get out of trouble in time?" Jin Yue snorted coldly.

Randall shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands:

"Then, Your Majesty is still the legitimacy of the Empire! This new lord will be recognized as a usurper and will be ruthlessly wiped out by the entire clan, including his henchmen! However, given that the strength in his hands is still strong enough, His Majesty has to fight this rebel if he wants to get back everything that belongs to him! ”

"But the end result won't change anything!" Bernard emphasized.

"Maybe! But haven't you thought about it? Even if he loses, with his strength, he can completely escape the sea of stars, find another place to stand on his own, recuperate, and make a comeback when the time is right! Randall said calmly.

"Today's empire has just experienced a major war, and its strength has been damaged a lot, coupled with this civil strife in the future, the vitality of the empire will be depleted to the point of unbearable, and it must go through a long period of recuperation to recover, during this time, a lot of things can happen!"

Jin Yue said lukewarmly: "What if this rebel is killed?" Will his sworn friends still be able to make the climate? ”

"Even if he dies, a new leader will be elected within that group!" Randall said indifferently, "Nothing will change!" ”

"Moreover, the situation you are talking about is based on the premise that Your Majesty can get out of trouble in time, and it can only become a reality! If His Majesty has been trapped in that demon coffin and cannot get out, as long as it drags on for three to five months, then the general trend of the imperial capital will be irreversible! ”

"Once the new lord ascends to the throne, relying on a large number of supporters, as long as there is enough time, he can fully consolidate his position and pull all the neutral factions that have stayed out of the matter! Even those who are hostile to the factions, as well as those loyal to His Majesty, will have a large part of them choose to be loyal to the new master. ”

"Don't think it's impossible! In the face of power and interests, any family and anyone is extremely realistic! Perhaps before this, they had different choices and different allegiances, but the premise of all this is that this choice can fully guarantee their own interests! If this is not true, then they will quickly change their position and make the most realistic choice again! ”

After a pause, he looked at the faces of the two classmates, and said in an aggravated tone: "In the current imperial capital, the forces loyal to His Majesty still have an advantage on the bright side, and there are still many people waiting and watching, but with the passage of time, the speed at which these forces change their positions must be the fastest!" ”

"They chose to be loyal to His Majesty because His Majesty had been able to give them enough benefits before. But when they find that His Majesty is no longer able to do this, they will not hesitate to abandon His Majesty and go to the new Lord! It's not about right or wrong, it's all about profit! ”

After saying that, he leaned back on the sofa for a long time, began to close his eyes and recuperate, and the study fell silent again.

Bernard let out a long breath and stared at the classical crystal chandelier on the ceiling for a while before he said slowly:

"You've already planned all of this, right? Now I just want to ask you, Your Excellency Randall, is there a place where His Majesty the Emperor is not right for you? ”

"Nope!" Randall said calmly.

"So is there a place in the Empire that can't stand you?" Bernard asked again.

"Neither!" His answer remained calm.

Jin Yue slowly clenched his fists: "Then you admit that you are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf?" ”

"White-eyed wolf?" He whispered the word a few times and said self-deprecatingly:

"Do you all think so? It's no wonder that you have the deepest friendship with Yun Haoyu, things gather people in groups, he is the kind of character who values righteousness over profit, and you are not much different from each other! ”

Speaking of this, he finally became serious and said in a deep voice: "That's fine, I'll explain to you in detail the reasons why I did this!" ”

"Listen up!" Jin Yue sneered.

"Yun Haoyu took our group of classmates out of the Prison Soul Star Sea back then, and over the years, he fought all the way, and finally earned the foundation of today's Nuoda, and there were many sacrifices on the battlefield during the period. It can be said that he can have today's achievements, and our group has contributed the most, you can't deny this, right? Randall asked solemnly.

Bernard nodded: "Of course, I don't deny this!" The alumni from Luhua Academy are the core team of His Majesty, and as long as they can survive, they will now be able to hold good positions in the power system of the empire! Moreover, the various preferential treatment given by His Majesty to our group is incomparable to any other force in the imperial capital, including the queen's family! ”

"That's right, I'll admit it!" Randall said, "But have you thought about it?" We are all from the grassroots class, and we have no intersection with those wealthy families in the imperial capital, and His Majesty favors us so much and gives us so much power in this group, which has caused the dissatisfaction of almost all forces! ”

"In the past, His Majesty was here, and they didn't dare to say anything, but now that His Majesty has an accident, the imperial capital will inevitably have a new master in the future, no matter who takes over the artifact, it is impossible for him to continue to treat our group like His Majesty!"

"For all kinds of considerations, we, the descendants of the old master, will inevitably become his primary target! Being deprived of power is only the first step, and the next step may be to exile or even extermination! Don't think that this is impossible, the change of supreme power completed in this abnormal state will inevitably bring about a large-scale purge of the old lord's forces! In this way, the new Lord's position will be secured! ”

"How much effort has we put in as a group for the sake of this empire? Now he is going to fall victim to the power struggle, and he can't even save his family! Can you just bear to see it come to pass? I don't want to see my former classmates die under the butcher's knives of those noble lords, so I decided to take up this burden! ”

"In any case, the position of the Luhua School in the DPRK and China cannot be shaken, and our interests cannot be violated! In the absence of His Majesty, we will elect a new person to ensure the interests of our group! Instead of entrusting their fate to those stupid, conceited, arrogant and shameless aristocratic families! ”

Jin Yue's face couldn't help but turn pale, and he swallowed back the fierce accusation that he was about to blurt out. Even Bernard fell silent.

Although this guy's behavior makes them despised, his point of view cannot be said to be completely unreasonable! In today's court, there are indeed many members from the Luhua Academy! And he has always been treated differently by His Majesty, and the worst ones are all feudal officials, not to mention those at the core decision-making level!

Of the twenty-one most important and powerful departments of the Imperial Cabinet today, one-third are controlled by His Majesty's former classmates and alumni, and many of the less important departments also hold high positions. And in the Imperial Legion, the fleets directly and indirectly controlled by this group also occupy a considerable proportion!

This status quo has made other forces in the imperial capital quite complaining, and many old-fashioned ministers believe that it is absolutely unacceptable to let such a group of poor people without aristocratic cultivation control so many power resources in the empire! It was only because of His Majesty's majesty that he did not dare to openly oppose it.

If His Majesty really falls, then no matter who ascends to the throne of supreme power, it is impossible to tolerate such a group continuing to hold so much power, and the purge is an inevitable result! When the time comes, they'll be the ones who will bear the brunt!

"What do you think?" Randall looked at their expressions and smiled gently:

"Instead of waiting for the future rulers to exterminate their families one by one, it is better to unite and clean them up while we still have the power to fight back! With the power we have at our disposal, such a plan is entirely feasible! ”

"As long as I can sit in that position in the future, the interests of the Luhua Academy will not only not be affected in any way, but on the contrary, they will be further strengthened! You will have higher status, more power! This empire will always be in our hands, and our name will go down in history and be sung through the ages! ”

"The Star Sea World will be unified in my hands, and then I will lead the imperial army to expand the territory and achieve unprecedented grandiosities! Your Majesty's unfulfilled dreams, I will help him realize them one by one! ”

"As long as you're willing to help me, it's going to happen soon, okay? Follow me! He said with great eagerness.
