Torres said: "Since this is the case, then there is no doubt that His Second Highness will ascend the throne happily!" However, among the troops who participated in the siege of the Black Republic, there were still many generals who were close associates of the former emperor! If they make a fuss, they will have some superfluous idle things, and if they are not careful, they will affect the plan to destroy this great country in the end! ”

"Hmmm! That's a problem! Annabel frowned and thought for a while, and said:

"The current situation at home and abroad does not allow any accidents to occur in the process of the transfer of supreme power, otherwise not only will the great plan of the empire not be realized, but it will also affect the attitude of the upper race towards us! Do you have any problem-free means? ”

"The most problematic means is not to announce the death of the emperor for the time being!" Torres knew that after these things today, he had been completely tied to the crown princess and his family, and they would all be in the same boat from now on! It is not up to him to do his best for his new master. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"That means that His Royal Highness can't ascend the throne for the time being?" Annabel said with some embarrassment, "But that's fine, we have to solve these hidden dangers as soon as possible, so that we can have no worries!" ”

"Empress Qianming!" The chief chamberlain humbly said,

"Another advantage of this is that you can solve that fatal hidden danger without a trace, which is His Royal Highness the Eleventh Prince, Arden!"

"Arden?" Annabel's eyes couldn't help but shudder, "This is indeed the most important question!" As long as he's here, I won't be able to control the empire freely! ”

The old emperor was the eleventh prince during his lifetime, and he was ordered to lead a large army to assist the Tiroa Empire and work together to resist the attack of the Daomang Empire, which is to let him accumulate military exploits and qualifications in order to plan for the future!

Now he is still leading more than 3 million elite fleets stationed on the side of the Scandon Abyss, this fleet is all from the Imperial Praetorian Guard, and it is the most trusted force of the old emperor. If they knew the truth of the matter, they would definitely rise up and crusade against the Second Highness faction as soon as possible!

It is impossible to solve it by force, although their faction has much more military strength at hand, but once the two sides start a war, it is impossible to end it in a short time, Arden is not a mediocre talent, relying on these elites at hand, he is fully qualified to tear the ground and stand on his own!

At that time, the empire will be divided, not only will there be no way to destroy the Black Republic and unify the southwest star sea, but it will even make the Yanwei race change their minds and support the Tiloa Empire as a proxy instead!

Therefore, the eleventh prince must not be allowed to know the death of the old emperor!

"What means do you have? Can this redundant gossip guy settle relatively easily? Annabel asked with a solemn expression.

Torres pondered for a moment and said, "It's very simple, we just need to summon the eleventh prince back to China in the name of the first emperor!" At that time, you can arrange people to take him down! ”

"Sounds good, but what does it take to get him to come back unsuspectingly? This guy isn't stupid, and if he finds out something is wrong, he's going to be in vain! "Annabel has a headache.

"This ...... Actually, it's not that hard! Torres sighed softly in his heart, and said:

"The seal of the former emperor and the contact code document are all in the hands of Wei Chen, as long as he forges an edict, saying that the first emperor is planning to change him as the crown prince and let him come back to hold the canonization ceremony, he will definitely not be suspicious!"

Annabel mused, "Hmm! This is a means, however, there are still a few guys on his side, and some strong people will need to be arranged at that time to ensure that it is done seamlessly! ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at the other side, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter of forging the edict to you!" In addition, from now on, it is said that His Majesty is not in good health and needs to recuperate, the inner courtyard of the palace is completely closed, and no one is allowed to see His Majesty without the order of the palace! ”

"As long as this matter is done, the eleventh prince will fall to the ground, and when His Royal Highness will ascend the throne happily, you will be the number one meritorious hero of this dynasty! At that time, high-ranking officials will be indispensable to you! Moreover, you still have the opportunity to do Hongu's ...... Lover! ”

"Understood, Wechen knows!" Torres bowed deeply, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slowly retreated away for a while.

Scandon Abyss, the garrison of the Imperial Army.

In the palace of the "Gods", in a secret room, Prince Arden sat at his desk, looking back and forth at a special edict in front of him, frowning and silent.

On the edict, it is the familiar handwriting of the emperor, and the content is very simple, only a few lines. Unguarded means that my body is getting worse and heavier, and I feel that my time is running out, so I have decided to change the candidate for the crown prince, and let him return to the imperial capital immediately to participate in the canonization!

At first glance, when I saw this edict, it was a lie to say that I was not excited, and I was planning to run it by myself, and I tried my best to do it, isn't this it?

Now that his father is finally willing to make up his mind, how can he be unhappy?

However, after the excitement, with his mind, there was a vague premonition of danger in his heart!

Arden hesitated for a long time about the edict, but he couldn't be sure.

It stands to reason that his father is seriously ill and may pass away at any time, and if he doesn't go back at this time, it will undoubtedly give the Weig faction an excellent excuse to attack! As far as the country is concerned, as an important minister, he does not obey the edict, which is disloyal; As far as the family is concerned, as a son of man, he does not go home to visit his father because he is unfilial!.

Those guys who regard him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh will definitely make a big fuss and wantonly slander and smear! Let him be speechless!

But what if you go back? I always feel a little unsteady in my heart!

Arden has always attached great importance to his special feeling of himself, and in his previous experience, this special feeling has saved his life more than once! Therefore, he decided that when he went back this time, he would inevitably encounter superfluous idle things that were difficult to estimate!

However, there is no need to guess the source of superfluous idle things, except for the faction of the second prince who is unwilling to fail, there will be no one else!

So, what should I do with myself?

After weighing it for a long time, Arden gently pressed the button on the table, and in the corner, a fully armed and grim-looking guard appeared silently in front of him.

"Go, invite General Sha Yutian!" He commanded.

The guards were silent, just bowed their heads calmly, and their figures silently disappeared into the air.

After a while, familiar footsteps sounded outside the door, and Admiral Sha Yutian, dressed in military uniform, hurriedly walked in.

After bowing slightly, he opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, the minister was about to leave for a period of time not long ago to inspect, and you asked the minister to come over, is there something wrong?" ”

"Uncle Sha! Let's take a look at this first! Arden handed him the edict on the table.

Sha Yutian's expression froze, he took the edict with both hands, and after reading it carefully, he frowned and pondered for a long time before asking, "Your Highness feels that there may be a problem?" ”

His mind is not stupid, such an edict was sent to His Highness, if he felt credible, he should have told himself to leave now, instead of being so hesitant!

"Yes, so I'm guessing I'll discuss it with you, I don't know if you can give me some advice?" Arden said calmly.

Sha Yutian picked up the edict again, examined it carefully, and said slowly:

"There is nothing wrong with the edict itself, it is indeed His Majesty's handwriting, and the code imprint on it and the anti-counterfeiting secret pattern used exclusively by the royal family are also true! Nothing seems wrong! ”

"The edict is true!" Arden glanced at him and said,

"It also has a special contact code left for me by my father, so it can be seen that this edict must be from my father's hand, the question is, why did the people of His Royal Highness's faction have no reaction?"

"I don't believe that my father's decision to make such a major decision is almost a secret edict, and it has not been announced to the public, and with their energy, they will not be unclear about the situation in advance, so that they are still kept in the dark until now! This is not normal at all! ”

"Perhaps, Your Majesty didn't consult with them at all beforehand, but planned to call you back first, and then announce this matter suddenly!" Sha Yutian hesitated, and then shook his head and denied his own meaning:

"No, with the minister's understanding of His Majesty, it is unlikely that he would do such a thing!"

"Yes, this is not at all in line with the habits of my father!" Arden agrees with the authentic,

From this, it can be concluded that the contents of this edict must have been known to Wig. Even if you don't know the Dao, you should be able to detect the change in your father's attitude in advance! But they didn't make any moves, which made it feel so wrong! ”

"What the hell are they up to?"

Sha Yutian frowned and pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "Could it be that something is wrong with the imperial capital?" Your Majesty has been controlled by those guys, they have set up an ambush in the imperial capital, and as long as Your Highness goes back this time, they will be solved by them suddenly! ”

Arden's face couldn't help but change, and he said solemnly:

"This may be entirely there! My father's health is getting worse and worse, and it is said that he has been in a coma several times last month, and this time they made such a decision, they will definitely not be willing to let this king ascend to the throne, there will definitely be any movement! ”

"Those military forces near the imperial capital are largely in the hands of Weig's faction, if they unite to put their father under house arrest, and then set up a killing game, just wait for the king to return, and kill them in one fell swoop! Take advantage of the opportunity to usurp the throne! These damn guys! ”

Sha Yutian pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then does Your Highness not think about it?" ”

"Do you have a more problematic suggestion?" Arden asked rhetorically, slightly surprised.

"Your Highness, what you do can really keep you safe for a while! However, in the long run, this is just a trick! Sha Yutian said in a deep voice,

"Your father's time is short, and he will tell the future before he dies! If you, the prince who is most highly regarded by him, don't go back, all the direct power will be in the hands of Wigg, and when that guy tamperss with the edict, he will become the emperor at that time, how will you deal with yourself? ”

Arden's face turned pale for a moment, he knew what Sha Yutian meant! If Weig really ascended the throne happily, then he, the prince who was most favored by the previous emperor, would never be tolerated by the new emperor, let alone let him continue to take charge of the military power, even if he estimated that he would reveal everything for the time being, it would be impossible to be an idle prince from now on!

He, as well as his sister, and his mother's concubine will inevitably be secretly killed by the new emperor, in order to eliminate the hidden danger that threatens the stability of the throne!!

"In this way, this imperial capital ...... Does this king have to go? Arden frowned, struggling to weigh it:

"But with those guys in the shadows, the risk is too great! What should I do? ”

"Your Highness can use the Hyper Void to communicate, request a face-to-face call with Your Majesty, and ask about the situation before making a decision!" Sha Yutian suggested.

Arden's eyes lit up, and then the corners of his eyes ticked again: "It's not used, my father's condition is so serious, I'm afraid there is no way to support it!" The palace is already under the control of the Wigg guys, and even if they could, there was no guarantee that they wouldn't do anything! So we don't get any useful information! ”

Sha Yutian gritted his teeth and finally said:

"Your Highness now has a heavy army, how can you let those guys come in the imperial capital! It's better to be so good, the minister set off with this fleet of more than 3 million people, escorting His Highness all the way back to the imperial capital to be entitled! It is estimated that in the midst of the heavy guards, no matter what evil schemes they have, they will not be able to succeed! ”

Arden said with some difficulty: "Without the edict of my father, why is it possible to move the fleet easily?" If I did, what difference would the result be from rebellion? ”

"If I leave, what about the defense here? On the other side of the Scandon Star Abyss, however, the million-strong army of the Sword Empire! ”

"Extraordinary moments, extraordinary things!" Sha Yutian said sharply,

"Now that the empire has reached a critical moment, only His Highness can save the empire from the edge of the cliff! Otherwise, let a mediocre person like Wig steal the artifact, and in the future, the million-strong army of the Daomang Empire will go south, and the disaster of the empire will not be far off! ”

There is another meaning that he didn't say clearly, if before Arden returned to the imperial capital, the old emperor died early and Wigg ascended the throne, Arden, who had a heavy army at hand, could come up with an edict and call on the forces loyal to the former emperor in the empire to take refuge, so as to break the ground and stand on their own!

In this way, the empire will lose a lot for the time being, but as long as His Highness is here, the empire has hope! It won't be long before you can't destroy the rebellion and regain control of the artifact!

Arden was also a heroic and decisive person, and after thinking for a moment, he finally bowed his head heavily: "Okay! It's all up to you, Uncle Sha! As long as this king can return to the imperial capital and ascend the throne happily, you will be the ultimate hero of the empire! ”

The decision was made, and the whole army immediately became busy in a tense and orderly manner.

Because of the constant vigilance against the attack of the Daomang Empire on the opposite side, the star defense here is extremely perfect, and there are materials that can be used by more than three million fleets for a whole year, which has become an important bargaining chip for the Arden and Imperial Capital Weig factions at this moment!

Three days later, Arden finally replied to the imperial capital and promised to leave for China immediately, which relieved Annabel and the others.

However, soon they couldn't laugh, because the prince had returned with the fleet!
