Chapter 842: Conspiracy (Part II)

For the marshal's request, the veteran general, who had been through several dynasties and had qualifications comparable to Gurungs, had a flash of worry in his eyes, but he did not express any objections and simply agreed.

It's just that his strange appearance did not escape Yu Xinzhe's eyes, and after continuing to quietly explain all the official duties to the officers present, the marshal decided to invite the other party to the small conference room next to him to talk.

Guo Qiuxian was as good as a stream, and when he entered the door, he didn't take the lead in speaking, but calmly looked at the young commander of the Southwest Star Sea Attack Cluster.

Yu Xinzhe unhurriedly took out a set of tea sets from the cupboard in the corner, and got busy skillfully, and after a while, two cups of hot tea with a faint fragrance appeared on the table.

"This Biluochun is a special product from the earth, and now it is rare to see, and His Majesty rewarded me before the expedition!" He pushed one of the cups in front of Guo Qiuxian and introduced it with a smile.

The admiral nodded, took a symbolic half-sip, and then gently put it down, still looking at him.

Seeing him react like this, the smile on the marshal's face narrowed slightly, and finally asked seriously: "General, do you think my decision is inappropriate?" ”

"Of course," Guo Qiuxian said calmly, "Your Excellency Marshal, as the supreme commander of the Southwest Star Sea Cluster, it is not a wise decision to put down business at this time and run to the troubled waters of the imperial capital!" ”

"Yes, this decision is not only not wise, but rather stupid!" Yu Xinzhe said frankly, "Long before the expedition, Your Majesty warned me that no matter what happens to the emperor in the future, I can't go back without permission, as long as I fight my own battle well!" ”

As he spoke, without waiting for the admiral to question, he continued:

"Perhaps on that day, His Majesty had a premonition of the current situation. There have been such great changes on the eastern battlefield, and when the victory of the imperial army is in sight, His Majesty was unexpectedly trapped, causing the empire, which was in a good situation, to suddenly face a great crisis! Those juniors in the imperial capital took the opportunity to rise up, stir up the wind and rain, and even seriously threaten the unity and stability of the empire! ”

"Your Majesty and the Empress had a life-saving grace with my family back then, and at this time, I can't sit idly by and watch Your Majesty's foundation be ruined, so I must go back!"

Guo Qiuxian was silent for a while, and said, "Don't you think that since Your Majesty was trapped, the queen's state has been a little abnormal?" These days, we have received more than one or two messages from the imperial capital, in addition to the queen's, there are also Feng Lanxi Guifei, the imperial prime minister, and the newly emerging Randall, plus some other big nobles! ”

"Judging from their respective intentions, except for Feng Lanxi and Yang Wentao, who are trying to rescue His Majesty with all their might, the rest of the forces have their own calculations, and Marshal Gurlons and a large number of important ministers of the empire are actually blocked all over the empire and cannot return to the imperial capital! Recently, there have even been large-scale wars between several factions! ”

"The situation in this imperial capital is already too chaotic, if you go back and make peace this time, what will it end up like?"

Yu Xinzhe raised his head and looked at him level and said, "I said that Your Majesty and the Empress have a life-saving grace with me, so when the empire suddenly suffers great changes, I must go back and keep Your Majesty's heirs and inheritance." ”

The admiral raised his eyebrows slightly and asked bluntly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"First of all, of course, try to rescue Your Majesty, if this proves to be unfeasible, and Your Majesty has indeed fallen, then I will support the little princess to ascend the throne!" Yu Xinzhe did not shy away from his plans.

"This is Empress Xiao's idea, right?" Guo Qiuxian sighed and said, "Actually, it's no wonder that after Empress Fang disappeared, with her authority, it was not enough to mobilize you, if it wasn't for personal kindness, how could you agree to her request?" ”

"Yes!" Yu Xinzhe smiled, "And general, aren't you the same?" You were originally guarding the Northeast Star Sea, this time the queen transferred you to take my place, and then asked me to lead the troops back to the imperial capital, if it wasn't for Your Majesty, how could you accept such an unreasonable order? ”

"It's not that easy for me to come here!" Guo Qiuxian's voice turned cold, "Randall instructed some of my guys to try to make trouble, but I happened to find out and slaughtered them in advance, so I was able to start a smooth journey!" And Marshal Luo Hanxing has also encountered some trouble, but he should be about to arrive in the imperial capital at this time! ”

Immediately, he stared at the famous general opposite who was much younger than himself, but the rank was above him, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency Marshal, we have worked together for a while before, so I am still quite convinced of your character, this is to go to the imperial capital, just a gun, you have the ability to resolve it!" As for this dark arrow, it is difficult to guard against! I'm only worried that you will be taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives, and the ultimate blessing and misfortune are really unpredictable! ”

"So I finally remind you, it's too late to regret it now, the battlefield in the imperial capital is not a suitable place for you to play!"

Yu Xinzhe seemed to hesitate, but after only a moment, he still said firmly: "I have made up my mind, no matter life or death, honor or disgrace, I must go back to this imperial capital!" ”

"Oh well! Take care, young man! Guo Qiuxian sighed and stopped persuading.

The reason why he did not resolutely oppose it was because this matter was also tacitly approved by Tian Xuanhao and Cameron, in the eyes of these important military ministers, the dispute in the imperial capital had endangered the survival of the imperial power, and no matter what, it could not go on like this!

In other words, the situation of the empire has deteriorated more and more, and in the territory of the three major countries of the Southwest Star Sea Plain, many forces have taken advantage of the situation and openly announced that they have broken away from the territory of the empire and established themselves, ** The scope has spread to nearly 100 star fields, and the local garrison fleet can't hold it down at all, and even several star domain governors were brutally killed in public by the rebels!

Although a similar situation has not yet happened in more star fields, there is also an undercurrent surging, the situation is not optimistic, and even many feudal officials have begun to fight the idea of splitting the territory!

After all, the foundation of the empire is too shallow, and it has only taken a few days for these newly acquired lands to be incorporated into the rule of the central government, and the complete submission and recognition of the people's hearts is a long-term process.

His Majesty was here before, and it wasn't a problem. But now that His Majesty has had an accident, and all forces in the imperial capital are vying for power and profit, they suddenly see the hope of turning the tables, how can there be any reason not to take the opportunity to make trouble?

If this chaos continues for a while, more and more forces will be unable to suppress their ambitions and desires, and thus participate in this unprecedented power struggle, and the situation will become more and more difficult to manage! Therefore, these military bigwigs who were outside the army and were still loyal to the empire secretly reached a tacit understanding, trying to suppress those ill-intentioned forces with strong means and end the chaos in the imperial capital.

……

"Great, Yu Xinzhe has already led the army to set off!" In the Queen's Palace, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the message sent back from the southwest front.

The Xiao family members present, as well as the officials and nobles who were loyal to the queen, also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the final analysis, it is because the troops are not sufficient enough and there is no sufficient support from the military high-level, so they can only take a defensive position.

But with the help of this famous general with heavy troops, the situation in the imperial capital, which was originally deadlocked, will immediately undergo a fundamental change, even the originally most powerful Feng Lanxi, and the hidden Randall will not be their opponents, and then the little princess can ascend the throne, and they will be able to correct their reputation.

"Marshal Yu Xinzhe brought back five million warships this time, which is enough to clean up these traitors in the imperial capital!" Xiao Wenyue said with a smile, "But that Su Shangqing is trapped in the Lixin Star Domain in the Southwest Star Sea, he has the largest intelligence force in the empire in his hands, and he can let the marshal rescue him by the way, so that the Imperial Security Department will also stand on our side, and the plot will be more certain!" ”

"Well, that's a good idea!" Xiao Wuji agreed.

Then, they excitedly began to discuss the matter of rewarding meritorious deeds after the princess ascended the throne, the Xiao family, as the party that contributed the most to the new emperor's throne, should naturally get the most generous reward, the head of the family and Xiao Wuji are both going to be crowned kings, and the remaining real power figures with a high status have to be given at least a duke's position, as well as the distribution of the territory, which should be the richest star field!

Of course, in order to ensure the long-term interests of the Xiao family, it is now necessary to arrange for the little princess to choose the future royal lady, and it must be selected from other descendants of the family, so as to ensure the effective control of the empire by the family!

It's just that what they didn't notice was that Xiao Muhan on the throne looked cold, and he didn't say a word about the enthusiastic discussion of the clansmen.

……

The palace, in the study.

Zhong Mingrui walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his face was gloomy and terrifying.

Yu Hongling tightened her pretty face and sat silently on the side. There were also more than a dozen civil and military officials from the prince's faction present, and the atmosphere in the whole room seemed depressing and dull.

"Five Death Star ships, really all destroyed?" After an embarrassing silence, the prince finally spoke again.

Zhu Yin said cautiously: "Yes, Your Highness, the minister has repeatedly confirmed that the five Death Star ships are all seriously damaged, and they are no longer able to put into battle!" ”

On that day, he led the fleet to take Base Zero with great difficulty after paying a lot of casualties, but when he finally boarded one of the Death Star ships, he found that this Zhenguo weapon could not be used at all.

The core optical brain of the Death Star ship has been completely locked, all the control chips have been disassembled and removed, and more than ten key components of the energy reactor have either been disassembled or irreparably damaged, and the main chips of the fire control system and many other important functional systems have also disappeared!

In other words, the Dead Star ship has completely lost its ability to take off into combat.

Shocked, he immediately checked several other Death Star ships, and sure enough, they all found the exact same result! These weapons of the country have been manipulated in advance, and they are equivalent to being completely tricked!
