Chapter 828: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
A few guys do have reason to rejoice, they have been looking forward to this day for a long time! Although with the consolidation and growth of the imperial power, the high-level control over the interior has become more and more powerful, and the resources and connections at the hands of these guys have been weakened day by day, as a member of the old interest class, they will never give up until the last moment!
After a short period of excitement, the most scheming Zero asked, "This news is too important, has it been confirmed?" Has His Majesty really fallen? ”
It's not that he can't trust his subordinates, it's just that no matter who this sudden good news is, the first reaction is to verify its authenticity before deciding how to deal with it. What's more, it's a group of guys with bad intentions who have put their lives on the line?
No. 2 said cautiously: "According to the message sent back by our people in the Imperial Legion, it can be determined that His Majesty has been trapped in that demon coffin, as for whether it has fallen or not, it is difficult to determine for the time being!" ”
No. 3 sneered and said: "According to what the group of Bojiang people said, this thing is a peerless beast that has ended the civilization of the ancient god race, Yun Haoyu's cultivation may be called powerful in today's Star Sea World, but can it be compared to the lost god race?" It's no wonder he's not dead! ”
"That being said, it's ......" Number One hesitated for a moment before continuing:
"Your Majesty has always been lucky, and he has hardly suffered too fatal setbacks since his debut, this time, although those aliens spent so much money to trap him, it is difficult to say whether there is a guarantee that he will definitely die!"
No. 2 said cautiously: "But it's been two days since the matter has passed, and since there is no news of His Majesty's escape, then this news should be confirmed, right?" ”
"Of course, with the ferocity and domineering nature of that thing, the longer you are trapped inside, the lower your chances of survival!" Zero said slowly, "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine has tried all the means he can think of in order to open the magic coffin, and he is currently dragging it out, and he plans to find a way to deal with it after returning to the imperial capital!" But it will take about twenty days to return to the imperial capital from the front line at the earliest, and if nothing else, even if this thing can be opened in the end, I am afraid that Your Majesty will already ......"
Everyone couldn't help but perk up, and No. 3 said excitedly:
"You're right, the longer it drags on, the better it will be for us! I think, in addition to us, there should be more than one force in the imperial capital, which will take action for this goal, and the time when the palace arrives in the imperial capital will be much later than expected, right? ”
Zero nodded slightly:
"Yes! So now, it's time to think about what's next! Of course, we can't act immediately, because the queen is still able to control the situation in the imperial capital, and if we make a move too early, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky! ”
"How long will you have to wait? What would we have done if she had done it earlier? I heard that in the past two days, some officials and nobles have disappeared! I'm afraid she ordered it to do it, right? Two asked nervously.
"Don't worry too much, now is a critical moment, although the queen has the determination and courage to take all the ill-intentioned forces, but at the overall level, she can still be stable!" Zero said unhurriedly, "So as long as we don't make a move now, she won't take action for no reason!" As for those forgetful guys, they can't hold their breath and jump out first, completely because they think they have a long life, but they can't complain about others! ”
"Everyone, wait a little longer! I've been here for several years, and it's not bad these days! ”
……
In the imperial study, Fang Yuqing was leaning on the throne, frowning and pondering.
The changes on the front line, Feng Lanxi naturally didn't dare to hide it, and notified her as soon as possible. When she heard the bad news, she immediately thought of the changes in the situation that the country was about to face! Yun Haoyu's life and death are unknown now, and those forces hidden in the shadows will inevitably take advantage of this rare opportunity to jump out and stir up the wind and rain, and even collude to plot against each other!
To this end, in addition to urgently ordering all the legions near the imperial capital to enter a state of imminent combat, she also issued arrest warrants for some suspicious people who had been monitored for a long time and put them in prison.
But this is not enough, His Majesty the Emperor has an accident, and there is no second person of sufficient weight in the royal family to support the situation. The turmoil of the government and the opposition is what will inevitably happen next! Those noble families of various countries who have already been dead set on the empire will inevitably have some thoughts in their hearts that they should not have.
Moreover, the factors that threaten the stability and integrity of the imperial regime are not limited to this aspect! In addition to the hostile forces hiding in the shadows, even those close and important ministers who were originally loyal to His Majesty the Emperor are hard to say what they will think in their hearts! Many of them are ministers of the dragon who started with His Majesty, and they are naturally very trusted and powerful figures by His Majesty, and if any of them have different intentions, the negative impact on the regime will be unimaginable!
In fact, some people are already ready to move, and the news of the front line has spread irrepressibly after only two days under her deliberate blockade, which shows the huge potential energy of those forces, and even penetrated into the palace. It's hard to imagine what worse news will happen next if decisive measures are not taken!
Now she has to contact Feng Lanxi several times a day to discuss countermeasures! She also knows a little about the situation of the demon coffin, this is the treasure of the Bojiang Empire, if she wants to break its confinement, with the existing means of the empire, the hope is really slim!
Therefore, it is really difficult to say how long His Majesty was trapped inside, maybe a month, maybe a year! The supreme power has been left uncontrolled for such a long time, and the negative impact on the imperial regime will be fatal!
In other words, the current empire can only support the situation on its own! In any case, he must ensure the political stability of the imperial capital, and must not let those forces with bad intentions jump out and make trouble! For this reason, it is not hesitant to be the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty!
"Your Majesty!" Mu Qingya, the commander of the palace guards, came in and said, "Dinner is ready, look ......"
"Got it, let them in!" Fang Yuqing said lightly.
The two teams of palace maids in colorful clothes held dozens of delicate silver plates and all kinds of tableware in and out like water, and it took a moment to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Under the supervision of Mu Qingya, several pharmacists checked that everything was correct, and then invited the queen to sit down.
"You can sit down and eat some too!" Fang Yuqing drank a glass of aperitif, picked up the knife and fork, turned his head and said to his henchman.
Mu Qingya smiled slightly: "The concubine has already eaten it just now!" ”
Fang Yuqing nodded and stopped insisting, and ate alone. The palace guard commander stood quietly and waited.
"By the way, everything I told you to do before has been taken care of, right?" Fang Yuqing ate a few bites, suddenly remembered something, and raised her head to ask.
Mu Qingya blinked: "The concubine has already checked, in the treasury of the Internal Affairs Office, there are not many high-purity energy crystals that meet the requirements, even if they are all transferred out, they will not be able to meet your requirements!" ”
"What?" Fang Yuqing couldn't help frowning, stopped the movements in her hand, and asked a little unpleasantly:
"Bengong remembers that every month the government will have a batch of such treasures in the account, and they haven't been used much in the past few years, so why don't they have much inventory? How do those guys from the Ministry of Internal Affairs do things? ”
"This ...... The concubines are not clear! The palace guard commander replied softly, "As early as the previous dynasty, those black-hearted court stewards often secretly sold some tributes that were not commonly used in the palace, and used them as principal to enrich their own pockets in business!" It's no secret anymore, and maybe those guys are ...... too."
Fang Yuqing's face sank: "Is there really such a thing?" Bengong remembers that these officials have only just taken office, and you have personally participated in the supervision during the assessment, how could there be a problem so quickly? ”
She glanced at the other party and said coldly: "Go, call all those guys, this palace has to ask, where did they get their things?" ”
"Yes!" Mu Qingya bowed slightly in response, and immediately arranged for a palace guard to pass on the decree.
"Also, you prepare some manpower, and once those guys can't hand over something, go and raid their house!" Fang Yuqing continued.
Mu Qingya agreed, looked at the queen's gloomy expression, and asked boldly, "These energy crystals are all prepared for Your Majesty, right?" ”
"Of course!" She said with some annoyance, "His Majesty the Emperor is trapped in that demon coffin and can't get out, and he needs these crystals to go to the emergency, but those damn guys are stabbing Lou Zi in the palace at this time, hum!" I'll see if I don't peel them! ”
The operation of that large array requires a large number of high-purity energy crystals to maintain, and there are quite a few of these things in the treasury of the Internal Affairs Office, after Fang Yuqing learned about it, he planned to collect them all, and when the palace arrived in the imperial capital, it would come in handy, but he didn't want such an oolong incident to happen!
"That's it! You wait and inform all the military bases near the imperial capital, as long as there are crystal reserves that meet the requirements, all of them will be seconded to meet the demand for this matter first! And then notify the mines around the empire to step up production! Fang Yuqing commanded casually.
After pondering for a moment, a palpitating chill slowly appeared in her eyes, this kind of thing will not happen sooner or later, but it will happen at this time, to say that there is no cat behind it is a liar! I just don't know which link leaked the news!
It seems that the restless guys in the imperial capital really can't wait! Or maybe they haven't killed anyone for so long that they get a little carried away!
Perhaps, the measures taken before are not strong enough, and if you want to deter those young people, you have to make another heavy move!
In fact, the efficiency of the empire's intelligence system is quite powerful, coupled with the deliberate investigation during this time, the queen has mastered a lot of things in her hands, including the number of officials involved, the high rank, and the respect of the status, even she is shocked!
Of course, quite a few people just suspect that the evidence they have is not sufficient because they themselves are extremely cautious! In addition, during the war, the rear had to be as stable as possible, and it was not appropriate to carry out large-scale purges at this time, so she adopted a temporary attitude of forbearance.
It's just that now it seems that this method no longer works! Those guys didn't even bother to maintain face, and began to blatantly do some things that they would never dare to do before!
"Perhaps, only by "inviting" all these suspicious guys to stay in prison for a while will they be able to settle down, right? She whispered to herself, "What did you say?" Mu Qingya asked suspiciously.
Fang Yuqing didn't answer, and ordered a palace maid to take a pen and paper, write a string of names on it, and then throw it to the palace guard:
"You go and call Li Xingyan and arrest all the people on the list! Then take care of them separately! ”
Mu Qingya took it and took a look, and her face suddenly changed!
"So many important people, all of them have to be ...... Will it cause some undesirable consequences? She hesitated.
"At this very moment, I can't care about this much!" Fang Yuqing said indifferently, "Your Majesty's safety comes first!" ”
Mu Qingya looked at the list in her hand, on it, the name of the Imperial Prime Minister came first, and then there was a long list of names that made her feel dizzy too!
"Your Majesty, do you think it would be too much to sacrifice so many officials for the sake of a Yun Haoyu?" A strange smile suddenly appeared on her face.
Fang Yuqing's face froze, her pupils constricted, and her eyes suddenly became cold: "What did you just say?" ”
"The concubine is just talking about her heart!" Mu Qingya sighed softly, "Today's empire can no longer be tossed by that emperor!" Of course, including you, Your Majesty the Queen, the concubines feel that this position is really not suitable for you, it is better for you to go back to the Bojiang Empire to be a princess! ”
"You ......" Fang Yuqing was furious, and was about to make a move, but she felt a tightness in her chest, and the energy in her body could flow as quickly as sand.
"Your Majesty, your strength should not be underestimated, if it weren't for the fact that you drank the wine on this table, how could the concubine dare to offend?" Mu Qingya's smile slowly brought a touch of hideousness, "Don't blame me for being ruthless, who told you to completely betray the glory of our clan?" Her Majesty the Great Empress can't bear to kill each other, so she has always had illusions about you, hoping that you will be able to learn from your mistakes and put the interests of our people first again! But what have you done? He is bent on helping humans to slaughter our bloodline! Do you know how many elite clansmen died at his hands before and after this man you died for? For the sake of the interests of these human beings, you did not hesitate to push our people to the point of extermination! You are the sinner of the ages who led to the decline of our people! ”
"Let's do it!" She instructed the palace maids around her lightly.
(The next one may be later!) )
