Chapter 87 (II)
A few days later, the warships carrying Robust and Elantres stopped at the two spaceports of Yanjing without warning, accompanied by nearly a thousand nobles who had come back to see who the new masters were.
Hearing that the Duke and Earl had arrived, the group of officials, dressed in mourning dresses who had been waiting outside the Imperial City for a long time, immediately formed a neat line to prepare for the arrival of their superiors.
When the princes from far away saw that the duke and earl had arrived in Yanjing intact, they could only curse the incompetence of their subordinates while changing into mourning clothes and preparing to go to Yanjing. They knew that they didn't stay in Yanjing and did their duty as filial sons, and they would definitely be scolded by the old immortal duke when they went. The thought of being pointed at to teach me a lesson made me feel troubled, so they all ordered the ship to fly at the slowest speed. In addition to not wanting to be trained earlier, they also wanted to see if their subordinates had a chance to get rid of those two old guys.
And the most important thing is that he didn't tell anyone, and at the same time, the princes thought that they were the only ones who knew about it except for their father. That is, his father had warned himself that when he died, he would return to the territory immediately, and when the duke and earl summoned him to the funeral, he should delay as much time as possible. From these words, I felt that my father must have made some arrangements when he was dying. It's better to have a big bang in this arrangement, so that your two brothers will be killed like this, and then you can ascend to the throne without much effort.
Robust and Elantres, dressed in mourning dresses, came to the snow-white palace gate with a cold face with the snow-white Praetorian Guards and nearly a thousand nobles who were also dressed to follow them on the expedition.
There were already two rows of tens of thousands of people standing at the gate of the city, one row of civil officials and one row of military generals. The only sound of wind and flags fluttering could be heard at the entire city gate, and not even a single cough was heard.
Ignoring the officials who bowed to them, Robster and Elantes walked straight to the palace under the escort of the Praetorian Guard. And the officials who were waiting also hurriedly followed in when they saw the nobles following in. However, it did not enter in an orderly manner like before, but swarmed in like grabbing something, and of course the people who were hit and stepped on did not dare to say anything at all, although the scene was very chaotic, but it still maintained a silent realm.
Robster and Elanster were in such a hurry to take it out and read it out by the identity certificate of the emperor's brother, which was recorded by the twelfth emperor himself. Originally, this certificate should have been read out when Artest ascended the throne, but Artest didn't read it for some unknown reason, and he didn't want Robust and the two to read it. This was the beginning of the confrontation between Robster and Arters.
The document was placed under the Emperor's throne and needed to be opened by both Robust and Elanster. After everyone entered this huge hall that could accommodate tens of thousands of ministers, they immediately stood in their own places as they usually did. When everyone saw Robster and Elanster walking towards the empty emperor's throne at the same time, everyone became nervous, did they want to be emperor?
Although some nobles wanted to stop it, they seemed to be concerned about something, and lowered their heads without opening their mouths to speak.
The Praetorian Guard, who had been following Robert and Elantres, subconsciously stopped when they saw the throne. Although Robster and Elantres noticed that their protective net was gone, they didn't pay much attention to it because they still had a protective shield on their body that could withstand the laser cannon attack. They were confident in the effectiveness of their shield, which they had prevented from assassination attempts for an unknown number of times.
Robert and Elantes stood on either side of the throne and reached under the chair to touch it, and the red cushion began to slowly rise, revealing a metal box with two jacks. The officials who saw this scene were all taken aback, how could there be such a thing under the throne? Could it be that it is a testament to the throne? Thinking of this, the nobles all showed smiling faces, it turned out that they were wrong, the duke and the earl were indeed dedicated to the country.
Robert and Elantres took out a magnetic card from their arms, inserted it into the jack of the metal box, and with a click, the box opened, and when Robert and Elantres took out a roll of paper-like things and a few cards from the box, the people present took a sharp breath and looked at the things in the hands of Robust and Elantres with bright eyes.
Robster and Elantes turned to face the officials, and Robster unfolded the holy decree that everyone present was very familiar with, and only used for important matters, and looked at everyone a little excitedly, and opened his mouth to say: "Colleagues, I, this lord is here to read ......" Robster's words were interrupted by the exclamation of the Praetorian Guard: "Assassin! ”
Although the Praetorian Guard saw four figures leap out from behind the screen of the throne and pounce on the Duke and Count, they could only shout the words of the Assassin and could no longer shout. The officials present only saw four figures overpowering the Duke and Earl, and before the screams could come out of their throats, they saw four flames of increasing size engulf them.
The warships patrolling the outer space of Yanjing suddenly saw a huge flame rising from Yanjing, and even the flames that could be seen in space could imagine how powerful it was. But I don't know what the reason is, but the connection has been disconnected. Changing the communication of other departments is also disconnected and cannot be connected. In desperation, the landing craft could only be sent to make contact.
Soon the landing craft returned, bringing with them the unbelievable news that the palace was in ruins within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and the headquarters of the various departments built around the palace had also followed the palace. All the officials who participated in the funeral were gasified, and the middle and high-level officials of the empire and most of the middle- and upper-class nobles were all finished, and it can be said that the military and political leaders of the empire no longer existed.
When the captain of the patrol team heard the central computer prompt that he had become the person with the highest military rank in Yanjing and had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of Yanjing's defense, he couldn't help but be stunned. I'm just a lieutenant colonel, in Yanjing, where the lieutenant general and major general grabbed him, he actually became the highest military leader in Yanjing?
And because he had nothing to do on vacation, he wasted time whipping slaves on the farm. When he was told by the central computer that he had become the chief executive of Yanjing, he couldn't help but faint in fright, and was killed by the beaten slave, so that his position as the top administrative officer of Yanjing was taken over by his deputy.
And the princes, who had only sailed less than half the distance, received the news, and immediately jumped up with cheers, and then nervously asked if their brothers were at the scene. When you get the other party to be as alive as yourself, you can't help but curse the other party at the same time, and it is also your own ancestor. Immediately after, these princes immediately ordered to turn around and return to the territory, and now that the middle and high-level officials are all hanging, the only one who can put himself on the throne is his own strength.
Darrens and Kester will be in a daze because the owner of this stereoscopic image is Olmsted in the uniform of the Marshal of the Van Luo Federation! Darrens and Kester looked at each other stupidly, and then smiled wryly at the same time, "I didn't expect it to be him." ”
As the two sighed, the stereoscopic image continued to play. Olmsted's image disappeared and was replaced by Robert's, who said, "Don't be surprised, the Earl and I are loyal to him." You may wonder why we are loyal to the marshal of an enemy country. In fact, before he arrived in the Wanluo Federation, he was the beloved son of His Majesty the Twelfth of the Silver Eagle Empire and the half-brother of His Majesty Artiste. Speaking of this, Robster sighed: "And the Earl and I are His Royal Highness's Wenjiao and Wujiao respectively. ”
Darrens and Kesworth nodded and thought, "No wonder you two are loyal to him, it turns out that you are your apprentices." ”
Of course, Robster did not know the psychological activities of the two, and continued: "His Royal Highness Olmsted has been gifted and intelligent, studious, diligent, brave, kind and considerate since childhood, and when he entered his youth, His Royal Highness showed outstanding talents in military and political affairs, and won the love and admiration of the emperor and important ministers, and at this moment His Royal Highness's achievements have far surpassed those of other princes. At the suggestion of the important ministers, His Majesty the Emperor intended to appoint Olmsted as crown prince. Unfortunately, Olmsted's mother was only a woman with no noble status, so Olmsted could only be regarded as an illegitimate child in the royal family tree. At that time, Artest's mother, who was also the Empress, immediately intervened and launched a number of assassinations against Olmsted. Although they all failed, it was enough for His Majesty to realize the danger of Olmsted, and in order to eliminate the hidden danger, His Majesty made concessions to the Empress, canonizing Artest as the crown prince and His Royal Highness Ormsted as the emperor's younger brother. And immediately after the canonization, Olmsted was sent to the Wanluo Federation. We were able to successfully destroy the warning point and occupy the Bone Cloud Dragon System, which is all due to His Highness Olmsted, and you personally went to pick up that information, which I believe you know by now. ”
Robster took a break and continued: "Now that Yanjing is in chaos, we have to stabilize the situation for the imperial brother, plus the imperial brother's identity certificate needs to be taken out and read in front of the officials, so the matter of welcoming the imperial brother will be handed over to you, I believe you will not let me down." "That's where the image disappears.
Darrens Kester stood there silently for a while before Darrens spoke, "What do you think about this?" ”
Kester said: "I don't think much of it, I just think it's strange that in the mouth of the duke, the twelfth is an emperor who is full of paternal love and is very distressed about the harem battles, and cares about the people, which is also recorded in the history of our country. However, foreign history clearly records that this twelfth is a cruel and murderous and perverted emperor, and the palace has to recruit tens of thousands of palace maids every year, but these palace maids only see in and out, which is recorded by the department in charge of palace affairs in our country. During the reign of the Twelfth, millions of palace maids were recruited, but I have never heard of any of them coming out, and the palace is so big, where are these millions of people? ”
"Also, according to foreign historical records, it is said that more than 300,000 people were executed by the hands of the 12th Emperor, remember that this is talking about personal hands, even if you kill one a day, you will kill for hundreds of years, think about how brutal the 12th was. According to the historical records of our country and foreign countries, the reign of the 12th was the most powerful slave rebellion in the history of the empire. I'm sure you know how often slaves revolt nowadays, and at that time, slaves rioted almost every day. From this one can imagine how terrible the reign of the XII was. ”
"What's even more terrifying is that, according to the records of the Empire, there were thousands of children and grandchildren during the Twelfth Dynasty, but after his death, there were only three princes left in the entire Empire who inherited his direct bloodline, oh, and now there is another Olmster. In addition, not even a princess or a grandson stayed. In the death records of these princes, grandsons and princesses, there is only one common reason: death from a violent illness. And the remaining three princes, except for Artest, the other two are all nervous, so Artest will ascend the throne without difficulty. At that time, there was a rumor in the palace that Arteste would often wake up from his sleep and shout no, but this rumor did not disappear until the birth of the first prince of Artest. ”
Kester saw Darrens listening intently to his words, and couldn't help licking his lips and continued: "You say, would such a terrifying person be sent abroad for fear that his son would be assassinated by the queen? You may think that the queen is so powerful, so powerful that the terrifying twelfth can not bear him, right? Let me tell you, during the reign of the XII, there was a journalist who accompanied the empress of another country to visit our country, and when he returned, he reported a news about the violence in the harem of the Silver Eagle Empire. In other words, the queen in the duke's mouth was abused by the 12th Emperor so that even reporters who were interviewing from afar could find out what happened to her. I have also been associated with the Queen's people, and I know from them that the Twelfth Queen is a very kind person. And the most important point is that the 12th empress could not have children, and Artest was only hung under the queen's name after being crowned prince. Do you think the queen would brutally assassinate another prince for the sake of a prince who is not yet in her name, or for a prince she doesn't know? I would say that the queen didn't know about Artest, because before the crown prince, in a family of thousands of people, the queen definitely didn't know about the existence of Artest. ”
Darrens, who was stunned by the inside story of the palace, shook his head and asked soberly: "You mean that the duke lied?" ”
Kester smiled: "In Olmster's identity, the Duke is not lying, but in the reason why Olmsted was sent to the enemy country, I think the Duke is lying." ”
"Oh? Listen to your tone, as if you know why Olmsted was sent away? Tell me about it? Darrens said with interest.
Kester pouted and said, "This still needs to be said, just guess it." With the perverted surname of the twelfth, even his children will be played by him. The Duke and Earl, who were responsible for educating the princes in civil and military knowledge, thought that such an outstanding talent as Olmsted could not be destroyed in the hands of the XII, so they proposed to the XII that Olmsted infiltrate the enemy country and lay an ambush. Here I want to talk about the pervert of the Twelfth, although he has no mercy for his relatives and slaves, and can even be said to be a perverted play. But he was very lenient to his officials, otherwise he would have been overthrown a long time ago. It was for this reason that the Twelfth accepted the advice of the two adults, or that he thought it would be more interesting to play with his son in this way. At the beginning, the two adults thought that the remaining princes would soon be killed by the Twelfth, so they were already preparing to welcome back Olmsted at that time. Unexpectedly, when the twelfth was about to hang, there was still a mentally normal prince, and he was also made a prince, so he had no choice but to suggest that Olmsted be canonized as the emperor's younger brother. It is believed that the Twelfth died after canonizing Olmster, otherwise it would be impossible to keep the matter of the emperor's brother secret to the extent that only the two adults and Artest knew. ”
Darrens laughed, "That's a good point, as if you were there." Okay, now what do we do? How should we welcome His Highness Olmsted, the Marshal of the Federation, back? ”
Kester shrugged helplessly and said, "How do I know what to do, do I shout at the whole universe 'Marshal Olmsted, we are here to take you to the empire as emperor!'" 'I'm afraid we've just finished shouting before we are shot, and His Highness Olmsted has been arrested by the Federal Axe. Now all we can do is wait. ”
"What are you waiting for?" Darrens asked curiously.
"Wait for the two adults to read out the identification of His Highness Olmsst, and wait for His Highness Olmsted to come to us." Kester finished and went to drink his own wine.
Hearing this, Darrens looked thoughtfully at Kester's back, looked down and thought about something, and then looked up and smiled.
