When Emperor Lieyan took over the throne from his father, a huge conspiracy began, and the young talent, who was originally strong and full of confidence, suddenly became ill and haunted by illness. Insomnia, dreams, and lack of energy are all trivial things, and the most important thing is that Emperor Lieyan actually faints from time to time.

At that time, Emperor Lieyan was not yet thirty years old, and it was when he was in the prime of life, and this strange illness immediately stumped all the doctors in the empire. It wasn't until the Empress of the Emperor offered the herbal tea carefully cultivated by the Fire God Temple that Emperor Lieyan's condition improved greatly.

However, this herbal tea also has a drawback, that is, it is extremely addictive, and the current Emperor Lieyan is inseparable from this fragrant herbal tea.

The conspiracy was just beginning at this time, when Emperor Lieyan reigned in the second year, when he began to promote the slave reform, his eldest prince had an accident, and the ancient smallpox virus, which had been far away from the Anthropocene realm for tens of billions of years, actually appeared, and the six-year-old eldest prince died.

Immediately after that, five years later, the second prince, who was just one and a half years old, was strangled to death by the crazy nurse. At that time, when that incident came out, it shocked the entire empire. All the intelligence agencies gave up all their work to solve this bizarre case, but under the intervention of a mysterious force, everyone's final conclusion was nothing more than a madman's madness.

Ridiculous, ridiculous. The Source Fire Divine Empire, which controls nearly one-fifth of the universe, actually let a madman become the prince's nurse, and even strangled the prince to death. This bizarre news immediately became the focus of research in other countries in the universe back then, and I don't know how many bizarre murderous ghost film and television dramas in the middle of the night are using this incident as the theme.

Ten years later, Emperor Lieyan became the third prince...... Oh no, it should be the fourth prince. The handsome young man, who was eight years old at the time, was actually overturned to the ground by a docile mare during a horseback riding safari, and kicked him hard, and finally became a vegetative person because of a broken skull.

Tragedy has appeared again and again on the body of the royal family, for the people these bizarre events are just their after-dinner conversation, anyway, Emperor Lieyan has a son, and his harem is full of 13 princes and 24 princesses growing up happily. The question of the succession of empires is not a problem at all.

But in the eyes of the real imperial elite, in the eyes of those high-ranking nobles who know the inside story of the Dao, things are definitely not that simple. Because the three princes who died were all elite talents recognized by countless psychologists, educators, medical experts and even magicians.

Yes, in the Source Fire Empire, every newborn royal baby will secretly go through a process of investigation, and a huge research team will conduct a comprehensive evaluation from many aspects such as the prince's physical fitness, intelligence, emotional intelligence, and ability to perceive magic. And this evaluation determines the focus of future education, and even determines who the heir of the future empire will be.

In the secular world, that parent doesn't want the most capable child to inherit the family business, and the royal family is no exception, if you want the Yuanhuo Empire to flourish forever, you must ensure the elite of the bloodline. However, this elitism affects the real interests of another group of people.

"The Source Fire Empire is really very sad, the political situation of the two powers will always create a fierce conflict, without the buffer of a third party, it really can't be done......" The one who spoke was the ruler of the Fire God Temple, the highest priest of the Source Fire God Sect, Lord Fa Huang.

The middle-aged man with dark eyes like jewels sitting next to the Emperor was Baku, one of the two gods of the Source Fire Sect and the leader of the radical faction. If Saladin exudes an aura of compassion all over his body, then Baku exudes a heroic aura, although he is middle-aged, his appearance and temperament are very good.

As for Baku's skin, even if he is dressed in tatters, he doesn't want to be drowned if he throws it into the crowd. The evil eyes don't know how many big girls and little daughters-in-law have conquered, and even middle-aged beauties can't escape his magic hands.

As a god sacrifice, it is definitely the master who is rampant in the Source Fire Empire. But Baku understood that everything he had had been given by the Emperor, and that the wrinkled old man in front of him was the source of all his rights. Whether he can become the next emperor or not, and whether the radicals can continue to be strong, depends on the will of the emperor.

"Honorable Emperor, why do you say this? Isn't the so-called situation of the two powers in the Yuanhuo Empire in your hands? As long as you turn over the palm of your hand, won't the secular royal family step down in minutes......

The Emperor's face sank like water for a long time before he smiled slightly, "You sycophant, it's really out of tune...... You think I'm so bored that you want to make me laugh, don't you?" the two looked at each other, and the old fox and the little fox both laughed.

In the eyes of the absolutely fanatical Origin Fire cultists, religion is their only thing, and the secular royal family is simply a useless thing to eat for nothing, and many people have thought about overthrowing the royal family and making theocracy the only one in the empire. But in the hearts of the Emperor and Baku, this argument is pure nonsense.

The huge Source Fire Empire occupies one-fifth of the star field in the universe, and is the first empire in the entire universe and the first of the three holy empires. The empire's ability to come to this point is inseparable from the credit of the Source Fire God Cult, because the monotheistic religion has always been a weapon to unite people's hearts.

But governing a country makes him prosperous and powerful, and scientific and technological progress is not what religion is good at. How should finance work, how should the army be trained, how should the tech tree be climbed, how should administrative regions be divided and managed? All these depend on professional people, and even more so, the secular ruling class.

The only thing that religion can be responsible for is the human heart.

The truth is this, the Emperor and Baku understand it, but in reality, people's greed is always endless. The secular imperial power cannot be canceled, this is very clear to the two of them, but the imperial power must be restricted, and in the eyes of the Source Fire Sect, those great emperors who are rare in a hundred years must be contained.

In the history of the Yuanhuo Empire, this kind of thing has not happened, there were three great secular emperors, who actually accumulated more personal personality charm than the French emperor among the people, and at that time, the imperial power actually overwhelmed the divine power. Every year on New Year's Day, the Emperor actually wants to go to the Emperor Star to pay homage to mortals for the New Year.

Shame, this is an insult to the God of Fire! That is, from that day on, the Source Fire God Cult began to consciously screen the heirs of the empire, and all the emperors and heirs who showed a little bit of strength, the Fire God Temple would use all its resources to weaken him, even if it was assassination.

Didn't Emperor Lieyan want to promote reform? Okay, the precious medicinal herb tea of the Fire God Temple is for you. Aren't you in deep affection with Queen Bai Yu? Aren't you very capable of giving birth to genius children? Then we also have a way, there are not many others in the Source Fire God Sect, that is, there are the most dead soldiers, kill all your smartest sons, and leave a group of pig-like gentlemen, I see how long you can be rampant.

Facts have proved that this secret plan is very successful, since the day the plan was implemented, the royal family of the Source Fire Empire has ushered in their gray years, and the princes of the heavenly nobility have died mysteriously one by one, and the abnormal mortality rate is actually higher than that of the soldiers in the space war.

Countless genius intelligence officers and detectives have not touched the core of this conspiracy, but whenever they try to uncover this dark curtain, death awaits them.

The people in the royal family are not stupid, of course they have resisted, but they really underestimated the influence of the Source Fire God Sect on the people of the empire, this empire can do without the royal family, but it really can't do without the Fire God Temple. Again and again, in exchange for defeat after defeat.

The final result is that the forces of the two sides have tacitly reached a certain balance, and the secret war has not stopped, but in front of the whole people and the entire universe, the forces of the two sides are still respectful of each other.

Just like the current Emperor and Emperor Lieyan, the two are friendly like relatives, the Emperor would rather not drink herbal tea himself to ensure that Emperor Lieyan tastes it every day, and those sons of Emperor Lieyan are the lifeblood of the Emperor, all kinds of treasures are sent up like flowing seawater, and even the Source Fire Temple is responsible for helping these princes find beautiful maids.

"What is the royal family? The royal family is to enjoy happiness, make themselves miserable every day, and always want to do something big, this is worth it? Our Source Fire Empire is already the largest empire in the universe, and if we go further, isn't it war?" said the Emperor compassionately.

"I'm here for the peace of the universe, Lie Yan, don't blame me......" Before he finished speaking, the two foxes suddenly burst into laughter, and tears of laughter came out of each other's laughter.

"Hahaha, Baku, you go and urge it, there are twice as many beauties for the princes this New Year as last year...... How can this be done by Ding Buwang, a dignified member of the royal family......"

"Haha......" The Fire God Temple was full of laughter.

At the same time, on the Oasis 300,000 light-years away, in the Golden Horde, which was heavily guarded, Vahid was already going crazy, and he said with trembling lips, "Are you kidding me? Are you making me laugh...... Father, you tell me that you are making me laugh, don't you......"

Wahid was about to cry aggrievedly, he suddenly took a few steps from the carpet and hugged Zaid's leg and said, "Father, do you think I'm too angry......?" Do you want me here......"

Zaide's nose was sour at this time, and tears fell at that time, "Child, you are not a fool, you have done the right thing for more than 20 years, if you don't do this, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago......"

This was the first time Wahid saw his father shed tears, and he suddenly understood that his father had not lied to himself at all, and that the story just now was not a fairy tale or a soap opera, it was a bloody reality.

"How so, how so...... I've lived for more than 20 years, and I was deliberately raised as a pig...... Gentleman, I'm the gentleman, they all say that Gentleman is the happiest, why am I so fucking miserable......"

At that moment, there seemed to be a sound of glass breaking, and Wahid's pampered glass heart for more than 20 years was completely smashed, turning into a field of white flowers, which could never be glued together.
