Chapter 8: Forcing the Palace
The nouveau riche said proudly to his wife: "Hehe, I didn't expect our eldest brother to become the police inspector of this planet, hehe, he can go sideways in the future." ”
"It's a fart to let the eldest brother help make us, our parents and relatives into Tang nationality! You also heard it just now, only the Tang people can contract the planet, if the planet we contract has ink crystals, it will be transparent! ”
"That's right, when the time comes, you can develop a planet, that's a good thing, or my wife is smart!"
The words of the nouveau riche couple naturally caused non-Datang people to look full of jealousy and envy.
As for the Tang people present? They are not interested in paying attention to such low-style characters, they care about what call the police inspector receives, so they will leave in a hurry.
The people of the planet are discovering that something is wrong.
All the police, along with the garrison, began to take to the streets to maintain law and order, and the people with the status of Datang were called in, and after a brief training, they were issued weapons to cooperate with the patrol.
To the surprise of other people, these Tang people, who refused to waste time and always pursued money, actually put down all their work, changed into military uniforms, and concentrated on patrol work.
Not long after, thousands of Moby Dick warships appeared near the planet and began to guard the surrounding area.
At the same time, the terrifying Silver Armor Fortress also appeared, all of which made the nearby planets panic, and they didn't know why Datang had gathered such a huge army here.
The head of the family in charge of this star field, after receiving the report from his subordinates, hurriedly went to ask Tang Xing, the big leader of the Tang Army here, what happened, did his subordinates accidentally offend the Tang people?
Outsiders didn't know what reply the head of the family had gotten, so they hurried back to the territory anyway, gathered soldiers and horses and rushed to the planet.
This action really scared the people of the family alliance.
This guy got water in his head? How dare you offend the main force of the current family alliance? And he's too self-conscious, isn't he? Can that little force compete with the Tang Army?
Some of the houseowners who had little friendship stood aside to watch the excitement, and the houseowners who had a gap fanned the flames on the side, and the houseowners who had friendships hurriedly prepared to dissuade the housemaster.
However, the next move of this family master made the world confused, because not only did he not quarrel with the Tang Army, but the two sides very friendly reorganized their troops to arrange the defense area.
Seeing this, the world suddenly realized that the guy who dared to love was here to pat himself on the back to explain the Tang guards.
But thinking of this, the world feels strange again, how could the owner of the family help Datang to impose martial law? And that Miss Tang Xing, who doesn't accept military aid at all, why is it so easy to talk about this time?
The heads of the family alliance are not stupid, and the people of Datang have been issued weapons to participate in patrols, which is enough to show that important people from Datang will arrive on that planet.
This important person is definitely not Tang Xing, and she has never been to that planet, and she has never been so troublesome.
And just looking at the fact that Tang Xing also moved the silver armor fortress as a sharp weapon, it is enough to understand that the big man who came is more advanced than Tang Xing, or it is important, in this way, the idiot also knows who is coming.
Sure enough, a few days later, Tang Xing came to this planet with a large number of senior military officers and senior civil officials.
The guards did not lift, but became more severe, and the officers' guards joined the patrol and began to wander around the planet day and night.
Seeing this, the heads of the family alliance went to this planet with a vote of personal soldiers.
However, this move of theirs attracted the attention of the hostile Imperial Alliance, and sent spies to investigate, and the actions of these spies raised the vigilance level of the planet by one level again.
This time the people on this planet were an eye-opener.
The head of the entire family alliance brought the elders and other important ministers to this planet, and while waiting, they wandered around the planet to enjoy themselves, so that the people could see what kind of moral surnames these adults were.
Of course, they didn't bully men and women, after all, Tang Xing, a strong woman who protects her shortcomings, is here, and if you anger her, you may be killed directly.
After a few more days, all the police and local troops were dressed in brand new uniforms, and the warships in outer space were repainted in a very luxurious way, making them as smooth and shiny as if they had just left the factory.
Then several of the most beautiful warships flew away at once, and the other warships put on a welcome formation, and those Tang people also took off their military uniforms and changed into gorgeous clothes at this moment.
As for the members of the family alliance, not to mention, they appeared in front of everyone dressed up rich and flamboyant.
Those people knew what was going on at a glance.
Since the Tang Army did not declare martial law, they all dressed up and walked on the streets, although they could not go to the landing port to participate in the greeting, but they were still all over the streets, hoping to see the long-rumored big man.
In a short time, those beautiful warships that ran out for an unknown number of light years to meet them, escorting five very streamlined, unknown types of spaceships to the outer space of this planet.
The Tang Army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately turned on the flashing lights and saluted, and when the five spaceships landed in the harbor, brilliant fireworks immediately sprayed into the air.
The people outside did not see the rumored figure, but they heard the deafening shouts of the Tang Army.
"Welcome, Lord!"
On the way, Tang Xing greeted Tang Long's parents very implicitly, and then stayed by Tang Long's side very reservedly, introducing him to the members of the family alliance.
The family alliance had heard about Tang Long's youth for a long time, but when they really saw Tang Long's appearance as a high school student, they couldn't help but be taken aback.
However, they didn't underestimate Tang Long, a person with hundreds of thousands of administrative stars, tens of millions of warships, and a jumpable mobile fortress could not be underestimated.
Especially those who were familiar with Tang Xing's toughness, seeing Tang Xing become so well-behaved in front of Tang Long, they greeted Tang Long very respectfully.
After inviting these family alliance members to the banquet tomorrow night, Tang Long and his party entered the car that came to greet them.
After entering the car, Tang Xing immediately grabbed Tang Long's ears and twisted them desperately, and roared with a hideous face: "You really have the ability, you actually ran to the enemy's lair, don't you know that the entire Tang Dynasty is tied to you?" I'll let you go on an adventure! ”
Tang Long had to beg for mercy while desperately calling for help from his father and mother.
Tang Xing couldn't help blushing when he saw Liu Fei staring at him, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, aunt, I can't help but ...... when I think of Tang Long being so irresponsible, leaving his post from time to time and running out to play."
Liu Fei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, this kind of guy who has no sense of responsibility and leaves his post without permission should be taught a good lesson and let him remember that a king cannot leave his throne at will." You can give him a hard reprimand, and you can whip him into a pig's head! ”
Tang Long immediately salivated and said, "Mom, didn't I promise not to do this in the future......
Before he finished speaking, Tang Zhong said: "Tang Long, you really have to be a little more mature to be able to do it, think about your identity, you are the king who rules hundreds of thousands of administrative planets, where can you put things aside like this and run out to play by yourself?"
"If you look at the heads of so many countries, who will go here today and there tomorrow, and you are not afraid of any accidents that will hang you up? Do you want to throw away your country and your subordinates? Do you still want your parents to send white-haired people to black-haired people? ”
Tang Long, Tang Xing, Liu Fei and the little black cat all looked at Tang Zhong in a daze.
They never thought that Tang Zhong, who had always been cool, would be so good at talking, or should I say that he was particularly good at nagging.
It wasn't until Liu Fei couldn't see it and interrupted Tang Zhong that Tang Zhong's preaching stopped, so that Tang Long couldn't help but secretly wipe a cold sweat.
The group entered the most luxurious hotel that had been temporarily requisitioned, and Tang Zhong and the others were already too tired to do so, so they said hello and went to rest.
As soon as they lay down, they fell asleep immediately, no wonder they were so relaxed, because now this place is Tang Long's land, no one dares to cause trouble at all, after so many years, they can finally rest without being half-asleep.
"How could you think of coming to me instead of going back to Datang directly?" Tang Xing asked Tang Long, who was comfortably drinking a drink.
"Oh, let's stop by to see the old lady, there's nothing wrong with that, right?" Tang Long said hurriedly.
"Don't you want to fight here for a few battles before you come back?" Tang Xing asked suspiciously.
Tang Long nodded hurriedly and said, "Of course I think about it, I was chased like a dog in the Kingdom of Weishen, so I have to vent this breath." ”
He explained in detail what he had encountered since he went out, and Tang Xing stopped talking about Tang Long's parents who were able to rescue him because of this.
Don't say that Tang Long didn't meet Tang Zhong and them, Tang Zhong and they were just as able to escape.
If it weren't for the warships, port blockades, and ground searches that Tang Long brought with them, and the vast majority of the entire planet were replaced people, would you say that Tang Zhong and the outsiders who were unfamiliar with the place would have been able to escape? At that time, Tang Long will definitely regret it for the rest of his life, and it is even possible that he will collapse from now on.
After saying the matter, Tang Long immediately said with a smile: "Sister, who is the current enemy of our Datang now?" What achievements have you made during this time? Tell me, maybe I can give you a medal. ”
Tang Xing glanced at Tang Long angrily and said, "Which one else can it be?" Isn't it still an Imperial Alliance? The last time I killed the two member states, I made a big deal of replication, but it took a lot of effort to suppress them back. ”
Saying that, Tang Xing also explained the results of this period of time to Tang Long.
"What? You actually got more than 200,000 administrative stars? And there are more than 10 million troops! ”
Tang Long was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Tang Xing would actually make such a big achievement in such a period of time.
"What's so great about this! Tell you, what I am most powerful about is that the people of the entire family alliance envy us Datang people, and now there are many people from other families who want to get our Datang status.
"When the time comes, we swallow the family alliance, and their people will not only not oppose it, but will warmly welcome it." Tang Xing said a little proudly.
"Wow, how can this be? Let's hear it. Tang Long became energetic when he heard it.
You must know that the most troublesome thing about annexing a country is that the people of that country do not agree with you, think that you are an invader, and if you don't say anything about whether you are against or not resisting, you can make a mess of your rule by doing some tax evasion, or official dereliction of duty, or misdoing such small things.
And if the local people welcome you, then you will be comfortable, and you can walk sideways in the newly occupied territory, just as comfortable as your native land.
"It's simple, I will expand the benefits that we Datang people can enjoy several times in front of the people of these family alliances, and especially defend our Datang people, in this way, who doesn't want to be our Datang people?
"Moreover, I also launch attacks from time to time, and after the invasion of the Imperial Alliance, I dodge it, so that both of them fight half to death and extort benefits before sending troops to rescue, so that my strength continues to increase, and the strength of the Family Alliance continues to decrease, and when the time comes, we can annex the entire Family Alliance in one fell swoop!"
Tang Xing began to tell Tang Long about his tricks, and Tang Long listened with great interest.
It took a long time for the three admirals of the Night Empire to finally return to the Night Empire itself.
Although they said that as long as they had troops in hand, they were not afraid of being blamed by His Majesty the Emperor, but the coercion that His Majesty had formed in their hearts over the years still made them a little uneasy when they entered the country.
However, they had just entered the border, and when they were disinfecting the battleship at the quarantine station, one of Admiral Long's cronies came to the door mysteriously.
"Three admirals, this is a secret order from His Highness to the three adults, please give a reply in the next one after reading it, so that I can report to Your Highness in the next time."
Looking at the video card handed over, the three admirals all frowned slightly.
They didn't expect that in this era, there is still this kind of transmission method, are they not afraid that the letter will be lost by accident, or the messenger will be caught and intercepted?
Or is the letter not afraid of being known at all? There should be no such possibility, and this letter must be very top secret.
The three admirals glanced at each other and nodded, they were already somewhat aware of what the letter was about.
The Tiger Admiral activates the card, and the Dragon Admiral's avatar appears.
He said: "Tiger Admiral, Leopard Admiral, Wolf Admiral, if you come back early, please stay at the border for a while, and when you hear the news of Yanjing, please go to Yanjing immediately to fulfill the duties of your royal legion." ”
"Message? What's the news on Yanjing? Admiral Wolf asked curiously.
Admiral Nalong's cronies smiled: "There is no news yet, but I believe that it will not be long before earth-shattering news spreads throughout the empire." ”
Speaking of this, he squinted his eyes and glanced at the three of them, and asked in a somewhat strange tone, "So, can the three adults tell you your decision now?" ”
Admiral Tiger glanced at his two companions, they both nodded, and then nodded and said, "Please go back and report to Your Highness, as Your Highness's subordinates, of course we will obey any orders of Your Highness." ”
"Any orders?" The cronie asked, squinting.
"Any order." Admiral Tiger said categorically.
"Okay, I will report to Your Highness truthfully." The cronie nodded with satisfaction.
The three admirals return to the flagship of the Tiger Admiral.
Admiral Wolf was the first to ask, "Big brother, second brother, what do you mean by our chief sending this letter?" Told us to stay at the border and wait for news? ”
Admiral Leopard smiled: "Little sister, think about it, according to the previous habit, what was the first thing we encountered when we entered the border? ”
"First things first? Of course, His Majesty the Emperor sent a message to inquire about the results of the battle, and then praised us......" Admiral Wolf suddenly remembered something and said: "Uh, why didn't we receive a communication from His Majesty the Emperor after we entered the country this time?" Is it ......?"
Admiral Tiger sighed and said, "Alas, the result speaks for itself. ”
When the wolf admiral and the leopard admiral got this answer, they both fell silent.
After a long while, Admiral Tiger spoke up, "What should we do now?" ”
Admiral Leopard thought for a moment and said, "Admiral Long doesn't have any other advantages other than having the First Royal Legion. The ministers of the court and the armies in various places have long been divided by those princes, and Admiral Long has been hiding and not showing up all these years, which is his biggest miscalculation. ”
"But if Admiral Long controls Yanjing with the power of thunder, won't the advantage of those princes not exist? After all, it is the habit of our empire that ministers do not participate in the battles of the princes, and they only wait for the princes to appear victorious before they come to allegiance. Admiral Wolf said.
Admiral Tiger smiled and said: "Little sister, you can say it lightly, this is true when this emperor competes for the throne, but that is because all the princes are very outstanding, and the ministers are suppressed by the emperor and cannot make a choice."
"But now, His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care whether the ministers and the princes collude or not, even if someone sues, it is just a scolding.
"You think, those ministers have put their wealth and surname on one of the princes, and if they win, they will lose and they will decline, where will they give up easily?
"Don't underestimate those ministers in Yanjing, the personal guards in their territory alone can form a huge army of warships, and it is uncertain who will kill in the end."
"So dangerous! So what do we do? Is it on Admiral's side? Admiral Wolf asked.
"All we can do now is wait and don't wait for one of the sides to show signs of victory, we don't bet. The news of our return will definitely spread, and regardless of the promises made by the princes now, none of them will be fulfilled.
"As long as we firmly grasp the military power, then whoever is the emperor cannot attack us casually." Admiral Leopard reminded.
Hearing this, both the Tiger Admiral and the Wolf Admiral nodded in agreement.
Imperial Palace of the Night Empire.
At first glance, the palace guards are the same as before, and there is no change. But those guards who were originally expressionless turned their heads from time to time to look in the direction of the emperor's dormitory in the depths of the palace, and their faces miraculously appeared excited, uneasy, and confused, from which they knew that something must have happened in the palace.
The guards in the Night Emperor's dormitory are no longer the guards who used to hold metal weapons and wear ancient clothes, but fierce soldiers wearing special combat uniforms and modern weapons.
Although there was a burst of rampant laughter in the dormitory, these soldiers stood dutifully at their posts as if they had not heard.
In the dormitory, Admiral Long laughed proudly.
He couldn't be unhappy, because after tonight, he would be the new emperor of the Night Empire, the second largest country in the universe, and the master of hundreds of millions of people.
He was not in a hurry to sit on the dragon bed that only the emperor could sleep on, although his father and his emperor were still sitting on the edge of the bed watching him at the moment, but he knew that as long as he was willing, he could pull this emperor and this father down at any time.
However, Admiral Long was a little dissatisfied, because his father's expression was still so relaxed, exactly the same as when he had summoned himself to receive his teachings, and he still had the same condescending demeanor.
Although Admiral Long really wanted to reflect his supreme bearing, even if he had an absolute advantage, no matter what, the majesty of his father's emperor was still deeply rooted in his mind.
Admiral Long stopped laughing, frowned, and said, "Father, don't you say something?" ”
The Night Emperor smiled, "What do you want me to say?" Do you need me to scold you for being a rebel? As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine very comfortably.
"You ......"
Admiral Long was a little overwhelmed, his father's performance was different from what he imagined, could it be that his father still had any killer @ didn't take it out?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the prime minister beside him.
Seeing Prime Minister Zhongcheng bowing his head expressionlessly, Admiral Long couldn't help but curse secretly: "What are you pretending to be at this time!" ”
Seeing his son's performance, the Night Emperor smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have any back-up, and I have also done the same thing about killing my father, so I am not surprised by your performance, I have long been mentally prepared." But I'm very strange, how can the prime minister be on your side? ”
"Hehe, father, you don't know, the prime minister has long been my person." Admiral Long said proudly.
"Oh, really?"
The Night Emperor glanced at the Prime Minister.
Admiral Long was a little impatient, he waved his hand, and a soldier stepped forward with a tray with a wine glass.
Admiral Long gestured to the wine glass, and sneered at the Night Emperor: "Father, this is the night soul that the child has prepared for you, it is your favorite wine, and the child thinks you should also go on the road."
"Please rest assured, I will fulfill your last wish, turn the Night Empire into the first power in the universe, and make the entire universe the territory of the empire!"
The Night Emperor picked up the wine glass, shook it gently, looked at Admiral Long and smiled: "Son, I, as a father, will remind you for the last time, Prime Minister Zhong is not such a simple person.
"Do you really think my guards are that many? There are also a large number of secret guards in this palace that only I know, and I believe you don't know about their existence, do you? But these last lines of defense have not appeared until now, what does this mean? ”
Admiral Long was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the prime minister suspiciously, and saw that the prime minister kept the image just now, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe, father, you don't have to sow discord when you are dying, children will not be fooled." ”
The Night Emperor smiled, "Believe it or not. ”
Speaking of this, the Night Emperor's face straightened, and he said in a majestic tone, "I will give you a final will. ”
Admiral Long was obviously oppressed by the Emperor of the Night Emperor's sudden emitted imperial majesty, and reflexively knelt on the ground, looking at the Night Emperor with a surprised face.
"You have to remember that the throne of the Night Empire can only be held by people with the blood of our royal family, if outsiders want to seize the throne, and you royal family members have no ability to stop it, then I would rather destroy the empire in your own hands than give it to outsiders!"
After the Night Emperor finished speaking, he raised his head and drank the poisonous wine in a sip.
"Sons obey orders!"
Admiral Long willingly kowtowed, he admired his father very much, and he thought that being neat and neat was in line with the dignity of an emperor.
Admiral Dragon got up immediately after the Night Emperor fell, glanced at the Night Emperor's corpse, motioned for his subordinates to carry the corpse away, and then sat triumphantly on the dragon bed.
The prime minister and those soldiers who remained in the palace immediately knelt down obediently to pay homage to the emperor, and said respectfully: "See Your Majesty!" ”
"Haha, you Aiqing are exempt, I, I will not treat you Aiqing badly, ahaha!"
Admiral Long was so excited that his face was flushed at the moment, and his body trembled non-stop, he was extremely excited, and when he went to court the next day, he would be the true Emperor of the Night who ruled the world.
Seeing that their master was so excited, those soldiers hurriedly sent a lot of sycophants. They are also very excited, because their master has become the supreme emperor, then their meritorious heroes will also rise, and glory and wealth will be at their fingertips.
"Your Majesty, now our most urgent task at present is to block the news of the death of the first emperor, and then control Yanjing at a lightning speed, as long as you control Yanjing, then Your Majesty, your throne will be secured." Prime Minister Zhong hurriedly reminded.
"Well, don't bother the neutral ministers, just don't let them go out, as for the ministers who support the other princes, and my brothers...... Well, what should be done, I believe you Aiqing has a number in your heart. Admiral Long said with a gloomy face.
"Obey the order, please Rong Chen and others to retire."
The prime minister knelt down with the soldiers and said, but Admiral Long just waved his hand and made them kowtow and leave.
When the door was closed, both the prime minister and the soldiers heard Admiral Long's wild laughter coming from inside.
"Wowhaha, Lao Tzu has finally become the supreme emperor! It's amazing, Lao Tzu no longer has to kowtow to people, no longer have to listen to orders! ”
As for this voice, everyone pretended not to hear it, greeted each other, and hurriedly left the palace to carry out the emperor's order.
No one noticed that the prime minister who had left the palace looked at the brightly lit palace and showed a strange smile.
The night owl of Yanjing in the Dark Night Empire was the first to notice that something was wrong, and countless soldiers with the number of the First Royal Legion were rampaging in Yanjing.
They rushed to the homes of the ministers, who were usually high-minded, first killed the family members without saying a word, and then brutally dragged the ministers and their families from the bed to the street, and shot them without announcing any crimes, and threw their bodies like garbage into the garbage truck that followed behind.
The political consciousness of Yanjing people is very sensitive, and they know that things are big when they see this frame, and they hide at home and dare not say anything.
Some elderly people even said in trembling voices: "Here it is again, Yanjing is bloody at night." ”
The dragon admiral, who had been excited all night and didn't sleep much at all, changed into a dragon robe made overnight under the service of the palace maid early.
He waited for the court to look in front of the mirror, and at this moment, his cronies cautiously stepped forward and knelt down.
Admiral Long straightened up his dragon robe and asked majestically, "How are things going?" ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers who supported the other princes have all been cleared, a total of 1,786 families, and a total of ...... personnel."
Before the cronie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Admiral Long: "Needless to say, what about those brothers of mine?" ”
"Uh......"
This cronie was dumb for a moment.
Admiral Long knew that something was wrong, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said in a vicious voice: "Say it quickly!" ”
"Yes, last night we went to arrest the princes as soon as possible, but all the princes are missing, and there are only some housekeepers and servants in their mansions, and there are ......"
Speaking of this, this cronie glanced at Admiral Long cautiously again, and saw that Admiral Long was staring at him, and couldn't help but be frightened and immediately said: "Even those important ministers, such as the left and right prime ministers and the various ministers and their families, have also disappeared like the princes, and their mansions have ......."
Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked by Admiral Long.
Admiral Long jumped to his feet and scolded, "Damn it! You bunch of waste, you can't even do a little thing, and you're raised for nothing! After venting, he immediately asked, "Did the space guard force find that there was a spacecraft leaving?" ”
The cronie lying on the ground immediately said: "No, since martial law, not a single spaceship has left Yanjing at all. ”
"Since they didn't leave, then they must be hiding in some corner of Yanjing, what are they still doing? Why don't you search for me! ”
Admiral Dragon roared angrily, and frightened the cronie into running out.
Just when Admiral Long was sulking because of the escape of his brother and those important officials of the court, another cronie ran in and shouted in despair: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the matter has been exposed!" ”
"Panic what! What came to light? Admiral Long asked with a frown.
"That...... That ......"
The cronie didn't know what to say, and finally he was very bold to find the TV button in the palace and turn on the TV.
Admiral Long, who was originally frowning and watching the actions of his cronies, was stupid after seeing the image on the TV, because the content broadcast on the TV now was the process of forcing the palace to murder his father last night.
(To be continued)
