Chapter 847: Gazing into the Abyss
The annihilation of the Bojiang Empire's legions in the human world has greatly damaged the vitality of the empire, and at the same time, it has also caused the prestige of the royal family to encounter unprecedented doubts and criticisms! Many patriarchs of big families have expressed their dissatisfaction with the royal family in public! There is even a group of unruly old aristocrats who have declared that the current royal family should be deprived of the right to rule the empire!
Due to the exhaustion of the former empress's cultivation, most of the elite forces loyal to the royal family have been lost, and the newly enthroned empress has not yet shown her skills and determination, so many large families with enough strength are eager to try and try to replace them and become the new imperial masters.
Therefore, Empress Qi, who had just taken over the scepter, was facing a situation that was not much worse than the mess of the Starlight Empire! Of course, with her temperament, she will never tolerate this situation for a long time, and after a short period of forbearance, this young emperor, whose appearance is no different from Fang Yuqing, will definitely begin to truly show her hideous fangs!
"Your sister is still imprisoned by you in the Holy Prison," said the former Empress Rui Yaqin, "I wonder what you plan to do with her?" ”
Empress Qi frowned, and said coldly: "She is a traitor to the empire, and she is one of the culprits who caused our clan to suffer heavy losses, in a way, she is even more hateful than that Yun Haoyu!" Now that he has been escorted back to the imperial court, of course, he will be publicly executed on a certain day to comfort the souls of the clansmen who died in battle! ”
This kind of practice can be described as decent, it can calm the anger of many elders of the patriarch, and use it to buy people's hearts and strengthen their own status, so she proposed this.
It's just that Rui Yaqin obviously has a more long-term consideration, and shook her head and objected:
"No! This Empress of the Starlight Empire has more than that, at least for now, it is more beneficial for you to keep her alive! ”
Empress Qi blinked, and said puzzledly: "Since Yun Haoyu has fallen, what's the use of keeping her?" Even if she is willing to change her stance and cooperate now, I am afraid that the high-level leaders of the Starlight Empire will not be able to accept her back, do you have any other ideas? ”
"Yun Haoyu has fallen?? I'm afraid it's a little early to say this! Rui Yaqin said calmly.
"What?" Empress Qi couldn't help but be shocked and asked in disbelief:
"That thing is the murderous thing that killed the Ancient God King, and it can't even kill him? How is this possible? ”
Rui Yaqin sighed: "Yes, if that thing can really exert its power, it shouldn't be difficult to kill him." The problem is that after the ancestors got it, in order to suppress its ferocity, they kept sinking it into the star, and used the star's furious energy to consume its power! ”
"How many years have passed, and the power of this demon coffin has been weakened to an unprecedented extent, so it is not as difficult to deal with as imagined! Although Yun Haoyu said that he was trapped inside and couldn't get out, he probably wouldn't be able to die for a while! And with the existing technical means of the Starlight Empire, maybe they can really find a way to break it! ”
Empress Qi's face changed instantly, and she said after a while, "Then what should we do now?" Do you have to raise her to eat and drink well? ”
Rui Yaqin said: "The best way, of course, is to throw that demon coffin into the core of the star again, but Zhong Mingrui, that waste, has not succeeded in ascending the throne so far!" Therefore, this step is difficult to achieve, so it is better to ...... Let him give up the struggle for the throne and go to the northwest of the empire to rip the ground and stand on his own! It's close to our territory, so it's easy to support! ”
Empress Qi's eyes lit up, she thought quickly for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Hmm! This method is feasible, with his current military strength, it will not be a problem to grab hundreds of star fields, as long as there is such a thorn on the territory of the Starlight Empire, they will not want to recover smoothly! ”
"Moreover, we can also support a few more forces to stand on their own, those military bosses with heavy troops, I don't believe that they will always be loyal to Yun Haoyu! As long as they are properly guided, they will have some undeserved ideas, and eventually they will follow suit and completely dismember this empire! At that time, even if Yun Haoyu is likely to get out of trouble, he will not be able to return to the sky! ”
Rui Yaqin said with satisfaction: "This is the best, let them do it!" As for your sister, you might as well keep it for the time being, maybe when the time comes, she will be of unexpected use! ”
……
After the end of the court meeting, the original tension in the imperial capital was eased. Under the strong deterrence of the newly emerged ten elite legions, the usurpation of power by all forces had to be restrained and began to seek more subtle and gentle means to solve the problem.
In the main hall of Yuhua Palace, Feng Lanxi was pacing back and forth, her eyebrows frowning slightly, and it was difficult to hide her melancholy on her beautiful face.
Just yesterday, Yun Yingxue had already informed her that there were not many high-energy crystal materials left to maintain the operation of the large array, and the source crystals had also been exhausted, and if she couldn't manage to replenish them as soon as possible, she could still support them for three days at most.
At this juncture, not only the imperial capital, but even the territory of the original Shuofeng Empire, there are very few crystals left that can be collected! And in the more distant star fields, as the situation becomes more and more turbulent, there are fewer and fewer fleets that can reach safely! Many convoys full of rare resources are often intercepted by various fleets of unknown origin on the way!
Despite all the efforts made, it has become an impossible task to obtain these sensitive materials under the blockade of those forces with different intentions. Even she struggled to come up with a practical response in her eagerness.
From the standpoint of those forces, Your Majesty must die, only in this way can they have the opportunity to plot what they want! So even though they are mortal enemies, they are very tacitly on this issue!
Although Yu Xinzhe has no dissenting intentions and is in favor of the resolution to use all resources to rescue His Majesty, because of his previous origins, he still prefers Xiao Muhan more. He is also a strong figure who supports the little princess to ascend the throne! Originally, there was nothing wrong with this, but now, the Xiao family was obviously taking advantage of his loyalty, but he still didn't know how to introspect, which really made her feel helpless.
With his joining, the strength of Empress Xiao's faction is already at the top of the major forces in the imperial capital, if His Majesty really falls because of lack of energy in the future, he will immediately put his ideas into action, and then the fate of the empire will be irreversible, and it will be inevitable to fall apart and even eventually die!
Thinking of this, she glanced at Randall who was sitting next to her, and sighed in her heart, the disaster of the overthrow of human civilization is just around the corner, but a group of short-sighted guys still don't know it, they are still greedily staring at the golden throne of power, and they don't want to think about whether they have the ability to solve the crisis of extermination that will come soon!
This guy came to visit her today, just to persuade her to change her position and use the resources at hand to support him in the throne, and in return, he wrote a tempting blank check, as for whether it is possible to cash it, only God knows!
"Your Royal Highness the beautiful Imperial Princess, how did you think about it?" Randall asked with a smile as he sipped his tea unhurriedly.
Seeing that the other party did not make a sound, he continued:
"When Your Majesty left the Prison Soul Star Sea, the Imperial Princess, you are willing to abandon everything to follow Your Majesty to start a business, over the years, the Starlight Empire has grown rapidly from scratch, and until today it is about to dominate the entire Star Sea World, Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine can be said to have made great contributions! Therefore, you are favored beyond the reach of other concubines! ”
"Your Majesty is a person of great affection, this is even incomparable to contemptible, on weekdays, I would not have such an idea at all, but now that the situation has changed, Your Majesty's fall is a foregone conclusion! And Your Highness, shouldn't you be planning for your future? ”
"If the Xiao family is allowed to control the imperial artifact, a concubine like you will never be tolerated by them! Not to mention continuing to hold power, even basic dignity and personal safety will not be guaranteed! With your wisdom, this doesn't need to be said further! ”
"I can't bear to see the miserable fate that Your Highness will face in the future, so I have the courage to propose, as long as Your Highness is willing to support me, then when the great work is done, the position of the Empress of the Empire will never fall into the hands of others, and the future Empire will be jointly ruled by you and me! And I can also guarantee that as long as you can give birth to an heir, you will be the next emperor of the empire! I wonder if you are satisfied with such conditions? ”
The corners of Feng Lanxi's lips moved, a faint hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and she replied lightly: "Very tempting proposal, as long as it is a normal woman, she will not refuse such an offer, right?" Alas, it will never be delivered! ”
"I can understand His Highness's concerns, but such a thing will never happen!" Randall solemnly assured, "You are the best god-level wise man in the empire, and even after you win the throne, your value to the empire is immeasurable!" Even if it's just for profit, I won't do that kind of stupid thing of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge! ”
As he spoke, he took out a source crystal box, opened it, and placed it on the table.
She glanced at it and saw that it was a golden edict and two small and delicate jade bottles.
Randall explained: "The content of this canonization edict is the promise I just said, with this certificate, you can rest assured that you want to come to Your Highness!" As for this bottle...... I bought it at a great cost from a secret auction held by the Yun family a few days ago! ”
"What's that?" She asked, confused.
"They secretly developed a precious medicine that can increase the chances of conception for high-level supernatural beings," he explained, "I know that with your cultivation of Your Highness, it is extremely difficult to give birth to an heir!" So I've been trying to find a way to solve this problem, and now I've finally got what I wanted! As long as you have it, the future ruler of the empire must come from your bloodline! How is it? With such conditions, even Yun Haoyu can't give it to you, right? ”
(The next one will be later!) )
