From the southern edge of the empire to the imperial capital. At the speed of the Emperor's camp, it would take two weeks to arrive, and during this time, dissident forces on all sides would certainly do everything in their power to prevent the camp from returning to the imperial capital. Even if the troops under Yang Wentao are still strong, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, so Zhong Xuanying decided to send a large army south to respond.

Luo Qiyue was obviously a little surprised by her decision: "You ...... Can this be done? The situation in the imperial capital is getting more and more sinister, if you leave, the forces loyal to Your Majesty in the imperial capital will inevitably be suppressed, and even divided and bought, those guys will not let go of such a good opportunity! ”

"After I leave, aren't you still there?" Zhong Xuanying said calmly, "I will leave half of the legion at hand, and you will be responsible for controlling it, plus the intelligence force at hand, it will not be a problem to maintain a stable situation for half a month, just wait for Your Majesty to return to the court, things will be much easier!" ”

Luo Qiyue frowned, thought for a moment, shook her head lightly and said:

"No! Sister, you may not know the situation now. I don't doubt the loyalty of some officials, but in the face of the temptation of great power and high-ranking officials, there are really too few people who can keep their hearts! ”

"You may not know that because the Star Sea World is about to be unified, the power structure of the future empire will gradually stabilize, and the advancement path of all officials in the future will be step-by-step, and there will be fewer and fewer things to promote exceptionally! Therefore, those officials and aristocrats who are not very satisfied with their status are currently secretly discussing and connecting, and many of them have decided to support the new lord in exchange for that share of the merit, so that their status can be further improved! ”

She was worried about more than that, except for the officials and nobles within the regime, none of the newly attached nobles were fuel-efficient lamps! They have a hatred for the death of the country with the imperial regime, and it is impossible to say that they have no idea in their hearts! In the past, His Majesty was here, and the imperial regime was stable, and they had no chance to take advantage of it. But now that there is such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how can they not do something?

Although these people have limited power at hand, but the connections and influence are not small, especially in their respective original territories, they are all land snakes who have been operating for countless years, if they join forces to make a rebellion, ask to return to their own territory, and then rely on the foundation there to re-establish themselves, then the newly unified empire will become fragmented again, and the good situation that hundreds of millions of soldiers have fought bloodily will be in vain!

At present, all this has not happened, only because His Majesty's accident has not been long ago, and the forces loyal to His Majesty in the imperial capital still have an advantage on the surface, coupled with the deterrence of the millions of Praetorian Guard troops stationed around the imperial capital, so that they are in a state of temporary wait-and-see, and they do not choose to do it immediately.

But now, a group of important ministers loyal to His Majesty have been pinned down outside for various reasons and cannot be rushed back, and the balance of political forces in the imperial capital has begun to gradually develop in the direction that is not favorable to His Majesty, and the situation will get worse and worse as time goes by!

At such a grim moment, if Zhong Xuanying decided to send troops again, the imperial capital's guard force would be reduced by half at once, which would undoubtedly stimulate those forces even more, making their behavior more and more unscrupulous!

"Sister, you should understand that Your Majesty is the most important thing to us!" Zhong Chanying said firmly, "The current situation can only be cleaned up after Your Majesty gets out of trouble, so we can only take Your Majesty back first at all costs!" Otherwise, even if this imperial capital can be stable for a while, it will not be a long-term solution! Sooner or later, those guys are going to get to that point! ”

Luo Qiyue moved her body with a little difficulty, and then said:

"Since you've decided, I won't say much. But I have to warn you, there may be some restless generals in the Praetorian Legion! So when you send troops, you have to screen carefully which legions will be deployed! ”

"What? This ......" Zhong Chanying's face couldn't help but turn pale, "You also mentioned it last time, is it really true?" Isn't that ......?"

The Empire's Praetorian Guard Legion, since the defeat of the Shuofeng Empire, Yun Haoyu has always been entrusted to her to be in charge of the overall planning, and she has indeed done her best to handle this matter in an orderly manner. A total of no less than 30 reorganized legions and nearly 1,000 special legions were born in her hands.

These most elite legions, which are also the most loyal to His Majesty, all officers above the colonel level, and almost every candidate's information has been determined by her personal review! And with the assistance of the secret spy system directly under the Emperor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it stands to reason that there should be no problems, but since Luo Qiyue said so, it must not be out of nowhere!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel chills all over her body, the Praetorian Guard Legion is the cornerstone of the Imperial Throne, and its importance cannot be overstated! Those forces in the imperial capital don't dare to be too arrogant now, mainly because they are afraid of the existence of the Praetorian Guard Legion, if even this most relied on force has a problem, then is there any hope for the future of the empire?

"How much do you know?" She anxiously asked, "Is there a serious problem?" ”

Luo Qiyue nodded heavily: "You should remember that in the process of forming the Praetorian Guard Legion, the head of the empire also made a lot of efforts!" Many of the candidates for the officer were recommended by him, and since he had not yet dissented at the time, you did not take precautions against this, and the people in the Internal Affairs Office thought the same at the time......"

"You're saying that since he can't convince me, then it's possible to go directly to those generals, right?" Zhong Xuanying understood what she meant, "But he didn't expect that there would be today at the beginning, so those generals may not be mentally prepared, and now there are not too many people who are willing to gamble their lives for him, right?" ”

"That's what I said, but those generals, do you still dare to use them with confidence?" Luo Qiyue smiled slightly wryly, "Actually, this is not particularly deadly, but in the Praetorian Guard Legion, the biggest hidden danger comes from ......."

She gently pushed a piece of paper from the coffee table in front of her sister.

Zhong Xuanying picked it up and looked at it, and saw several eye-catching fonts printed on it: "Luhua Academy". And then there's a dense patch of names below!

"These are former alumni of His Majesty, or their relatives and friends!" She explained, "Since when His Majesty first started, many of his classmates followed him to the Prison Soul Star Sea, and later after the successful establishment of the country, many people came to take refuge one after another, so this group is the most trusted by His Majesty!" Whether it is in the DPRK or the military, this is the most powerful group! ”

"In the past, this group of people was regarded as the core team of His Majesty, the descendants of the lineage! It is the most unlikely to betray His Majesty, but now, I am afraid that these people will not be reliable......"

Zhong Chenying's face became more and more pale, if the situation was really as she said, the consequences would be too serious! If nothing else, let's just say that many important positions in the DPRK and China are now held by His Majesty's classmates or alumni. For example, Jin Yue, Minister of Industry, Bernard, Director of Logistics of the Imperial Legion, Randall, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Su Shangqing, Minister of Security, Yang Xue, Minister of Energy, Tang Weiye, Minister of Mining, etc., there are many people who hold important positions in the army and command a large number of elite fleets!

If these people who control the lifeblood of the empire also have different intentions and unite to attack, the blow to the empire will be fatal!

"They...... Why do you have different hearts? Zhong Xuanying still didn't believe it, "Aren't these people the team that Your Majesty relies on the most?" If something happens to Your Majesty, how can their interests be guaranteed? No other power would allow them to continue to wield so much power and resources, right? ”

The skin does not have hair, and it will be attached! Once Yun Haoyu completely falls, then these groups, who were regarded as His Majesty's sworn friends in the past, will never end well! This is Zhong Chenying's view.

But Luo Qiyue's answer completely shattered her illusions: "No Your Majesty!" Shouldn't they be able to re-nominate a candidate to continue to defend their interests? ”

"Yes! How did I forget about this key? She muttered.

With the power of the "Luhua Academy" faction, they can completely form their own faction, and they are the most powerful one! The Prime Minister of the Empire, Empress Xiao and her family, the newly attached nobles, and some other miscellaneous forces will not be their opponents!

"Then you must know who the leader of this faction is, right?" Zhong Xuanying tried to calm herself down and asked slowly.

Luo Qiyue said: "It's not completely certain yet, but I think it won't be long before he takes the initiative to surface!" By the time he thinks he's sure enough to get his hands on an artifact! ”

A hint of murder appeared in Zhong Xuanying's eyes: "Are you sure now that you can secretly get rid of this person?" ”

Luo Qiyue pondered for a moment, shook her head and said: "It is unlikely that it will succeed, since the other party dares to plot an artifact, he will definitely take strict precautions against his own safety!" And now that the suspicious characters have been eliminated, this group is afraid that they will also nominate other candidates! Unless you kill all those characters who have the ability to take charge alone, you can guarantee that you will be able to do it once and for all! ”

"In that case, let's clean up the Praetorian Guard first!" Zhong Xuanying said coldly, "I will remove all those suspicious generals, if they dare to disobey, then kill them on the spot!" Even if you kill the wrong part, you can't care about it! ”

Luo Qiyue nodded slightly: "Okay!" I will transfer some manpower to help you, no matter what, there must be no problems with the Praetorian Legion, otherwise Your Majesty will not only have no hope of getting out of trouble, but even we will die without a place to bury!" ”

Speaking of this, she subconsciously touched her bulging abdomen, and the little life inside stretched her body slightly, moved for a while and then quieted down.

I don't know what the situation of the emperor will be when this child is born, if His Majesty still can't get out of trouble, then the fate of her and the little princess will not need to be said!

However, is she the one who easily admits defeat? Even if it's just for the sake of this child, she won't give up! Whoever dares to threaten everything she holds dear will inevitably pay an unimaginable price!

There was a flash of sharpness in her deep beautiful eyes, and at this moment, this pampered imperial concubine who had not killed anyone for a long time finally made up her mind.

"Sister, come with me!" She stood up with some difficulty, Zhong Xuanying hurriedly came over to support her, and asked:

"Where to go?"

"Show you something!" She said lightly, "Originally, it was sealed in the organization, but now the situation is critical, and I can't take care of it!" Hum! Those guys who don't know the height of the sky, don't think that if you grab some of the military power, you can change the world, but let's see what skills they have! ”

……

Base Zero.

"You've already completed all the scheduled processes, right?"

In the office of the head of the base, Jin Yue, who came to inspect, asked casually.

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The gray-haired old man replied respectfully, "In addition to the No. 5 ship, which has already been completed, the final assembly work of the No. 6 to No. 9 ships has been completed!" The ground test work has come to an end, and as long as the control authority setting is completed, it can be lifted into the air at any time for actual combat test drills! ”

"In other words, the crew team on the Death Star ship, as well as all the supporting combat units, are already in place, and as long as the test is successful, they can enter the combat sequence of the Imperial Legion, right?" Jin Yue asked again.

"Of course, as long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing, within ten days, the Imperial Legion will add another five Zhenguo weapons!" He replied in the affirmative.

It's just that the Minister of Industry didn't have the smile he expected on his face, which couldn't help but make him wonder a little in his heart, is there anything he hasn't done yet?

Jin Yue was silent for a while before he whispered, "Take me to the Death Star Ship to have a look!" ”

"Yes, Your Excellency, everything is as you wish!" He hurriedly said.

……

"Your Royal Highness, don't we follow the predetermined course?" In the palace, Yang Wentao asked with some doubts.

He was indeed a little puzzled, after the previous interceptions, those forces had already understood the strength of the Praetorian Legion, so they were no longer willing to rashly send a fleet to send them to death! Therefore, in the past few days, the wind has been calm, and the palace has passed through most of the Yunmeng Galaxy, and it will be able to enter the territory of the Tianhua Galaxy in two days.

But Feng Lanxi suddenly announced that he had changed the route of the march and chose another main channel, so he asked this question. Could it be that there is an unknown force in ambush on the predetermined shipping lane? It's nothing to say, the person who can calculate him on the battlefield has not yet been born!

"Just to pick someone up!" Feng Lanxi explained, "Meng Xuan went to the Shengyuan Star Domain to investigate the case, and when she came back, she was blocked on the side of the Mowen Star Domain, which was only a day's journey from here, so the palace planned to rescue her by the way!" ”

The head of the Ministry of Finance, who holds the financial and economic lifeblood of the empire, must not fall into the hands of those guys! Now that there is an opportunity to snatch it out, the great wise man will naturally not miss it easily.

"Okay, I understand!" Yang Wentao nodded and said no more.

(PS: It's really troublesome to have a girl, and I miss the days when I was alone.) Forget it, if you have promised someone, you can't go back on it at will, and code words all night at night! ）
