Chapter 276: The Crown Prince's Controversy
The fourth planet, somewhere in a luxurious palace.
"What do you say? He actually refused? ”
A young man with broad shoulders and broad back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an angular face stood up from the wide golden throne in surprise and questioned a middle-aged man who looked like a butler in front of him.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The middle-aged housekeeper replied nervously, "He said that he was unwell and wanted to recuperate at home!" I can only live up to His Highness's good intentions! ”
The young man's face was cloudy and sunny for a long time before he asked, "What about the other invitations?" Did he accept it? ”
"Back to His Highness, he pushed it away! No one agreed! The butler replied.
The princely man pushed away the two beautiful maids dressed in pink sheer tulle beside him, slowly stood up, and paced back and forth on the thick carpet of golden silk and feathers, as if he had made up his mind.
"Go, bring me Mr. Crassus!" He commanded.
"Yes, Your Highness!" The butler saluted respectfully and stepped back.
After a short time, a blonde young man with a well-proportioned figure and a pair of blue and bewitching eyes walked in.
"Your Highness, do you have something to look for me?" The blonde man named Crassus bowed slightly and asked calmly.
When the prince saw him, the gloom on his face was swept away, and he smiled: "Crassus, it's good that you're here!" This king is a little troublesome now, maybe you can help with an idea! ”
The blonde man's voice was unfazed: "Don't dare to be, it is Crassus's duty to serve His Highness!" I wonder what His Highness commands? ”
"Look at this young man's profile!" The prince threw the ladies out of the room, then took out a paper document and handed it to him.
Crassus took it with both hands and looked through it carefully, the document was not long, only about a dozen pages, and the cover was a photo of a young, somewhat overly dark-haired man. The reason why he is said to be too young is relative to the uniform of a first-class general on his body! A genius who can wear this uniform at this age with his military exploits has never been seen before in the history of the Empire!
"What do you think of this man?" The prince asked.
"Unbelievably lucky guy!" There was also a tremor in Crassus's voice, "The deeds of this admiral have been paid special attention to by his subordinates before, but it is Your Highness, that your information collection is more comprehensive!" Are you asking me to come today because of this genius thing? ”
The prince nodded: "Yes, this king plans to recruit him, as long as there is such a person to serve, he will be able to plan big things in the future, and he will have a lot more certainty!" ”
"Indeed, Marshal Limassen is so injured that he may retire! And with His Majesty the Emperor's respect for this young man, the position of the director of the Imperial Ability Legion in the future is most likely his! As long as he is willing to stand on His Highness's side, it means that hundreds of Empire's Ability Legions are on your side! What a huge boost this is? When that day comes, His Highness's position will be unshakable! ”
"But the king invited him several times! They were all pushed away by him! The prince sighed. I wonder if there is any way for Mr. to get him to lean over? ”
Crassus thought for a moment and asked, "Sixth Highness, and Duke Fang Yukun's invitation, what is his attitude?" ”
"No one agreed, they all pushed it away!"
"Is that so?" Crassus pondered for a while, and said, "It seems that this young man has understood what is going on, and he is doing this to keep himself alone, and he does not want to get involved in this kind of thing!" From his point of view, it was a wise decision! ”
"If he wants to be neutral, the life of this king will not be so easy! In any case, you have to find a way to pull him over! His Royal Highness the Prince, that is, the second prince Fang Yanren said with some concern: "I'm not worried about the sixth child, I know all his tricks!" The key is that Fang Yukun's guy, who has made a great contribution this time and has become the second staff marshal of the empire, with hundreds of thousands of elite warships in his hands, the threat to this king is too great! ”
"Fortunately, he is not from his father, otherwise we wouldn't have to fight! Directly abstain from withdrawing, and end up with a lifetime of nobility! ”
Crassus said lightly: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, the matter is far from the moment when the dust has settled!" No one dares to claim victory! Duke Fang Yukun's ability, merit, and popularity are indeed the highest! But because of this, he is also under the most pressure! Who can say for sure that he won't have an accident? ”
"What's your idea?" Fang Yanren perked up and asked.
"Good ideas can't be talked about!" Crassus smiled, "The final decision on this matter is still in the hands of His Majesty!" And His Majesty's thoughts, no one can guess at the moment! But one thing is for sure, for Fang Yukun's nephew, he is not as close as he imagined, this time give him a marshal scepter! In the eyes of outsiders, it is the supreme glory and favor! But according to the subordinates, it seems that compensation is more likely! ”
"Compensation? What do you mean? Fang Yanren asked with some excitement.
"On this expedition, there are many high-ranking generals who have made great contributions, but why is he the only one who has received the marshal's scepter? Is he the only one who has the most credit? Apparently not! To outsiders, perhaps his royal status played a role! But as long as you scrutinize it carefully, you can understand that in the beginning, His Majesty did not think about him! Otherwise, doesn't the title of marshal seem redundant for a candidate who is about to become the crown prince? ”
"That's right! Why didn't I think of this layer? Fang Yanren was so excited that he walked around the room, "It seems that the father still prefers his own son, that's right!" It seems that as long as I defeat the sixth child, this son may really fall into my hands! ”
"So, your main task at the moment is to keep an eye on the Sixth Highness!" Crassus smiled and said, "What is he going to do, he must not let him do it!" The talents he recruited also have to find ways to pull them over! Even, His Royal Highness can secretly send some people to build momentum for him, just say that the position of the crown prince, His Majesty is already interested in him! Roast him on the fire! ”
"Kill?" Fang Yanren thought about it for a while, then understood, and nodded again and again: "Very good!" Everything will be done according to the advice of the gentleman! What else is there to do? Sir, you might as well speak up! ”
"This Yun Haoyu still has to be recruited!" Crassus said, "Your Highness will sit firmly in the throne in the future, and it will not be possible without military power!" Therefore, please also ask Your Highness to prepare a generous gift, and your subordinates are willing to talk to him in person! When necessary, in order to show sincerity, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will also visit in person! ”
"No problem! As long as he can agree to work, this king can still do this! Fang Yanren laughed.
Imperial Palace, Fengyi Palace.
In a quiet and elegant yard, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants will be decorated here like a paradise, with a breeze, with a fragrant smell of dust. A group of beautiful and delicate palace ladies were busy by a pool made of large pieces of cyan jade, cleaning the strings of crystal clear, like the finest Jade Emperor crystals, and then serving them on jade plates, carefully presenting them to a white jade platform a hundred steps away.
On the high platform sat a beautiful woman with thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a bewitching body, wearing a pale yellow palace skirt, neckline, and the skirt was embroidered with layers and layers, complex and exquisite patterns, and a wide brim was tied on the willow waist, and a belt inlaid with beads and jade was tied on the willow waist, and the long black and shiny hair was simply pulled up, and a hosta was pinned to it. The expression is tranquil and elegant, revealing an innate nobility!
A little boy who was only about ten years old and was born in pink was playing more than ten meters away from her, and several fourteen or fifteen-year-old little gong'e were waiting beside her.
The woman stretched out her slender and slender hand, picked up a honey yoga fruit and put it into the sandalwood mouth, chewing it slowly and methodically. This specialty from the Taihao Star Domain is extremely delicious, and it has a very significant optimization and care effect on women's appearance. It is said that the annual output is only a few hundred kilograms, and the auction price of each fruit is more than 10 million! In the entire Shuofeng Empire, only she could taste it so luxuriously.
A red-clothed court lady walked over lightly with a pile of papers.
"Your Majesty! Here's what you want! The female officer stood a dozen paces away in front of her, and bowed her eyebrows.
The woman known as the queen raised her eyebrows, glanced at her lightly, and ordered, "Let it go first!" ”
The female officer didn't dare to slack off, came over and put the documents away, and then stood aside.
The queen sat upright, her back and neck straight, she reached out and took a document, and her phoenix eyes quickly glanced at it, and then took another one, and in a short time, all the documents had been read by her.
The slender jade finger lightly clicked, and the pile of documents instantly turned into a pile of powdery fine ash as if it had gone through thousands of years!
"Those guys are already on the move!" The queen said nonchalantly.
"Yes! Silver Governor, the governor of the Yiyuan Star Domain, united a group of officials and sent a letter to His Majesty, asking for the appointment of the second prince as the prince! The female officer replied.
"What else?"
"Cheng Feng, the governor of the Tianyu Star Domain, has also united a group of officials and sent a letter to His Majesty, asking for the appointment of the six princes as the princes! A group of generals in the military department, led by General Di Rongxuan, strongly supported Fang Yukun! ”
"Did the other officials react?" The queen asked again.
"Some people followed suit, and many more remained silent!"
The queen's pretty red lips twitched slightly, and she said with a smile: "Those old guys who can really speak have not expressed their position? ”
"Yes! So far, none of the important ministers of the court have expressed their opinion on this matter! ”
"Isn't this the end of it?" The queen sneered, "Those few things that don't make it are all they can do!" In addition to Fang Yukun, he also has some skills, and those two wastes actually dare to fight! It's really unbelievable! ”
"Your Majesty's thoughts, how can they measure them?"
"Wait and see! Your Majesty will soon have to make a big move! The throne of this empire will be Yuan'er's sooner or later, and no one will want to take it away! She looked at the boy not far away and said proudly.
In the next few days, Yun Haoyu put down all entertainment, and only accompanied Luo Qiyue and her sister to play in the mountains and rivers of the major planets in the Tianhua Galaxy. Go to the most exclusive shopping malls to sweep the goods, dine in seven-star hotels, and watch performances in the top leisure and entertainment clubs. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that he was still a big man in the imperial side.
However, the time of the getaway is always short-lived! On the morning of the fifth day, news came from the imperial palace, asking him to enter the palace immediately for an audience, and His Majesty had something important to discuss with him.
