"Alright! Maybe you have a point! "However, at least the princess still values him!" After all, since his debut, he has been branded as a princess! And he has no dissatisfaction with this princess. ”

According to the back and forth analysis and deduction of his subordinates, it can be concluded that he is not a mercenary person, and it is estimated that he will change the court, and ordinary means are useless! You have to come up with a trick! ”

The voice said indifferently: "Strange moves? Is this necessary? I just need to let him know that with the blood of that princess, no matter why His Majesty the Emperor spoils her, this battle for the throne will definitely not have her share! ”

"He is still young, once His Majesty is gone! For the sake of his future glory and wealth, he must have a choice! ”

The man in white bowed his head lightly in agreement: "This is really true, there are only a few people who are qualified to compete with Your Highness now, but their ability and popularity cannot be compared with you!" Hence ......"

"Therefore, the crown prince must be mine! Just can it be mine!" The voice said proudly.

"However, on the side of the 8 great families, you should also pay attention to the fact that their opinions also have absolute influence on Your Majesty!" The man in white said.

"Them?" The voice disagreed, "They have been taking care of themselves lately, especially that Cheng Guiyun, there are a lot of troubles at home!" The Emperor, with that sharp sword, had already begun to slowly cut flesh and bleed on them! What else can they say at this time? ”

"What do you mean? Do you want to ignore them? ”

"Not really! The strength of these races is still considerable, but there are some difficulties for the time being! If I don't care, there's no guarantee that the other guys won't run out and hook up with them! Therefore, the necessary homework still needs to be done! ”

"Wait a little longer, when the sword kills them down, I'll go over and show favor later, give me some sweetness, I'm not afraid that they won't favor me!"

"Your Highness, your wisdom! The subordinates are sincerely admired! The man in white exclaimed, "It won't be long before you are the crown prince of the empire, the first in line to the throne!" ”

At night, the majestic imperial palace is shrouded in moonlight, calm and serene. However, under that calm appearance, there is already an undercurrent, countless forces, countless mysterious existences hidden behind the dark scenes, have begun to operate in secret, each with its own strange schemes, and strive to make a lot of gains in the new round of power heavy commandos that will appear in the empire after the war!

Planet 8 of the Tianhua System.

This is the famous capital of science and technology in the empire, and there are tens of thousands of national research institutes, institutions of higher learning, and research centers on the entire planet, involving almost all the current research fields of mankind! The Imperial Academy of Sciences is also located here. Experimental bases in certain fields, large-scale scientific research projects are well-known throughout the Star Sea World! More than fifty percent of the academicians of the empire are concentrated here.

The 8th planet is still a veritable think tank of the empire, with more than 80% of the super computing centers, and more than 50% of the high-star sages also concentrated here! Since the founding of the Empire, almost a large number of major inventions and technological progress have been inseparable from this place! For thousands of years, there have been countless scientific giants, technical geniuses, and top-star wise men born from here! It can be said that the Empire has been able to keep up with other powers in the field of science and technology, and most of it is due to the prosperity of Planet 8!

More than a year ago, Zhong Zixia's brothers and sisters sent their parents here to seek medical treatment, and they also took a fancy to the first-class medical technology of the empire. It's a pity to understand that as an ordinary person who has only undergone the awakening of second-grade DNA, the basic physical quality is really poor, even if he invited the most problematic doctor and used the most problematic equipment and medicine, he could not save his father's life in the end.

Located in the middle of the mainland, Maple Leaf City is the location of the famous Wise Scholar Academy in the imperial capital, and the alma mater of Leng Zhuo, the great wise man of the empire. Zhong Zixia's brother and sister also studied here.

At this time, in the national cemetery near the suburbs, surrounded by green hills and lush greenery, in a cemetery, several boys and girls are worshipping in front of a tombstone.

On the white marble stele, the top is inlaid with a three-dimensional photo of his father before his death, and the bottom is etched with a famous name, the date of birth and death, and a brief introduction to his life.

Ye Qingyuan looked at the vivid image in a daze, recalling the bits and pieces of life together back then, and his heart was heavy. Since 8 years ago, both biological parents disappeared in the seabed, and they were taken home by their adoptive parents to live with their younger siblings.

As the eldest son in the family, in the future, this family will have to rely on him to support! However, fortunately, he is already in power and has a great future, so it is not a problem to protect his relatives.

"Brother, don't be sad!" The plain white sister came over and gently grabbed his arm: "If Dad has a spirit in the sky, I will be very relieved to see your achievements now, brother!" ”

"I'm fine!" He said softly, but the scene in front of him was a little blurry.

The mother on the side looked at his appearance and said gently: "Okay, I've seen my dad now!" I'll wait to go back! After being apart for so long, you should be close too! ”

Zhong Zixia also said: "Hmm! Brother, I'll wait to go back! It's your first time in the imperial capital, I don't know how many places you haven't been to yet, I'll take you to have a good look! ”

Luo Qiyue, who was standing on the side, looked at their family, with a deep loneliness in her eyes.

Ye Qingyuan looked back at her, reached out understandingly, took her slender hand and shook it with force, and then said, "I'll wait to go!" It's rare to come back, and it's time to rest for the next few days! ”

Several people finally calmed down and left the cemetery.

I got on the flying car and didn't have long to go. Ye Qingyuan suddenly asked his mother: "I haven't been clear, well, why did the research institute have problems?" At the beginning, the explanation of the spokesman of the strategic command was vague, and although I doubted it, there was no way to do it! ”

"Mom, you should know what the situation is when you were at the scene, right?"

Mom hesitated for a moment and said, "The strategic command ordered me to sign a confidentiality agreement, and there are some situations that are not ......."

"Is there a problem?" Looking at her expression, Ye Qingyuan suddenly knew that things were definitely not as simple as the strategic command had publicly explained.

"Chi Yue, do you know what happened in the first place?" He looked back and asked her as she was driving.

"Of course, my brother and I were on the battleship at that time......" she recounted the situation that day.

It was only then that he knew that the thing that came from his hand had fallen into his hands in such a way! Several major civilizations each sent their elites, for the mysterious base on the seabed, not estimating that all parties were fighting for life and death, but in the end, it was cheaper for him!

"That guy Xing Feng was greedy, he left the experimental base and ran to chase the powerhouse of that ghost race, and then he simply returned to the Cyanobacteria Star, but he missed the best rescue time!" She concluded, "If I had arrived earlier, maybe the tragedy wouldn't have happened!" ”

"Xing Feng?" He slowly repeated the name, "I've seen him a few times on the front line, but I don't have any impression!" I didn't think he was the one who caused this! It seems that I have to go to him another day to catch up! ”

Sensing the chill in his words, his mother said a little nervously: "You must not be impulsive, but the big man of the empire, you ......"

"No matter how old he is, he can't compare to your child at the moment!" Luo Qiyue said with a smile, "Don't forget what Ye Qingyuan's current identity is, he is an ordinary dry star, and he can't be compared at all!" ”

The corners of Ye Qingyuan's mouth hooked slightly, indeed, with his current identity, it is really not too easy to pick up an ordinary dry star! Even if the other party has the backing of his family race, he doesn't care much! With the emperor on his shoulders, no matter why he organizes these families, he doesn't need to worry about the consequences!

At that moment, a message came from the portable photonic computer. After connecting, the image of his adjutant, Liu Xiangyun, was straight ahead.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

Liu Xiangyun saluted and said, "General, there are a few invitations from you here, and I invite you to the banquet!" ”

"Invitation? Didn't I ask you to push it off for me? Don't forget my current vacation time! "He was a little upset.

"I know! However, the origin of these characters is too great! Can't push it off at all! Liu Xiangyun smiled bitterly, "Moreover, I suggest that you better go, otherwise, there will be more unnecessary and superfluous idle things in the future!" ”

"What kind of great man is it?" He asked with some incomprehension, "Could it be those ...... of the royal family?" ”

Liu Xiangyun nodded lightly: "That's right, His Royal Highness Fang Yanren, the second prince of His Majesty, His Royal Highness Fang Chengyuan, the eighth prince, and His Majesty's nephew, His Royal Highness Fang Yukun!" None of these people are fuel-efficient lamps! What do you think you should do? ”

Ye Qingyuan's face changed: "Why did they ask me?" Doesn't seem like I've ever had anything to do with them? ”

"I don't know, these Tianhuang nobles have been very active recently!" Liu Xiangyun rubbed his temples and said with some difficulty: "The heads of the five departments that visited the empire were all over the place, and they had no scruples to recruit those middle and high-grade officers who came back from the front line!" You're the new first-rank general, the second-in-command of the Ability Legion, but the object of their attention! ”

Luo Qiyue said lightly: "I know what it is for!" My brother told me a few days ago that recently, a group of people in the court are planning to ask His Majesty to be the crown prince! These big names who are qualified to compete, of course, there must be some movement! ”

"Therefore, they are active in five places, making friends with powerful figures on both the military and political sides, and building momentum for themselves?" Ye Qingyuan asked, "But I remember, the abilities of those two princes are not very good?" His Royal Highness Fang Yukun is outstandingly capable, but he is His Majesty's nephew, and his relationship is far away, so it seems that he may not be very sexual! It's hard to see for a while! ”

"Moreover, Your Majesty is now in the prime of spring and autumn, and there is no disease! You don't need to think about this just yet, do you? Who would have done this? ”

Among Fang Xuling's heirs, there are now five princes and three princesses who are now adults. Among them, the second prince and the eighth prince have some talents and ambitions. The other two have average qualifications, and the power of the mother race is not strong enough, so they are out early. Among the three princesses, the eldest princess has married to a foreign country, the third princess Fang Yuqing is in charge of the Imperial Security Department, and the fifth princess Fang Mengyan has a loose heart and has no intention of political affairs.

And Fang Yukun's father is the son-in-law of the former emperor, the younger brother of His Majesty's mother, according to the imperial inheritance system, the position of the crown prince, his nephew is also qualified to fight! There is no shortage of precedents for this in history.

However, neither of the two princes' abilities is particularly outstanding, nor are they born to the queen, and in the war that ended not long ago, these two have not performed particularly well! It may not be accepted by the government and the opposition. Only Duke Fang Yukun has outstanding military achievements, and his current popularity is the highest!

Of course, the third princess Fang Yuqing's ability and combat exploits are not under Fang Yukun, just because of her bloodline, she is not recognized by the royal family, otherwise she will have a chance for this son.

Luo Qiyue frowned and said: "Why this wind is blowing, no one knows the reason, however, according to our internal people, it may be that His Majesty has his own thoughts, so he ......."

"What do you mean?" Surprised, he asked, "Is it at the behest of Your Majesty?" But he didn't have to do that right now! Or does he have some other way of estimating? Guess you want to use this to achieve other goals? ”

"Maybe! How can outsiders measure the emperor's thoughts? In short, General, you'd better not wade into these troubled waters! Liu Xiangyun said cautiously.

"Hmmm! I think so too! He bowed his head lightly in agreement, "No matter who Your Majesty is interested in, it is Your Majesty's family matter, and we had better not get involved!" Anyway, no matter which position is in place in the end, don't I have to swear allegiance? ”

However, for these posts, they all pushed it! Let's just say that I am not feeling well and recuperate at home! It's inconvenient to go out! ”

I only understand that Ye Qingyuan doesn't know the Tao, neutrality also requires combat effectiveness! For a person as shallow as he is, even if he is in power, some things cannot be decided by him. What's more, he didn't know the emperor's mind at all!

Not only him, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not know at this time that their emperor was playing a game of chess, a very big game of chess! Enough to completely shuffle the power system of the entire empire!

The fifth planet, somewhere in a luxurious palace.

"What do you say? He actually refused? ”

A young man with broad shoulders and a broad back, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an angular face stood up from the wide golden throne in surprise, and asked a middle-aged hostage who looked like a butler in front of him.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The middle-aged housekeeper responded nervously, "He said that he was unwell and wanted to recuperate at home!" I can only live up to His Highness's good intentions! ”

The young man's face was cloudy and sunny for a long time before he asked, "What about the invitations of the others?" Did he accept it? ”

"Back to His Highness, he pushed it away! No one agreed! The butler responded.

The princely man pushed away the two beautiful maids dressed in pink sheer tulle beside him, slowly stood up, and paced back and forth on the thick carpet of golden silk core feathers for a while, as if he had made up his mind.

"Go, bring me Mr. Crassus!" He commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The butler bowed humbly and stepped back for a while.

After a short time, a well-proportioned young man with blonde hair and a pair of blue and mysterious eyes walked in.

"Your Highness, do you have something to look for me?" The blonde man named Crassus bowed lightly and asked calmly.

As soon as the prince saw him, the gloom on his face was swept away, and he smiled and said, "Crassus, it's good that you're here!" This king is a little redundant at the moment, and you can almost help with ideas! (To be continued.) )
