Chapter 146: The Emperor (1/3)
A storm that occurred in the White Night City soon spread throughout the empire.
The Three Princes colluded with the Immortal Tree without authorization, plotted sabotage in the Red Mountain Academy, and attempted to assassinate the distinguished visitors from the Snow Mountain. He himself had been executed by the eldest princess herself.
Yang Fu, an important minister of the empire and a former general of the Great Qin Jin Corps, participated in it, adding fuel to the fire, and was personally ordered by the emperor to be beheaded, and was publicly executed in front of the Chongtian Gate of White Night City, while the Yang family was collectively driven out of White Night City and moved to the Gray Plains.
Changshengshu planned and carried out the whole conspiracy, which was openly declared a hostile organization by the empire, and the headquarters of Dongli City was surrounded and suppressed by the Jin Corps, except for a few people such as the leader who escaped, hundreds of other backbones were killed or captured, and the century-old foundation was almost lost overnight.
Imperial Grandmaster Huang Buming was seriously injured for unknown reasons and was in retreat to recuperate.
......
The shockwaves continued one after another, and the aftermath of the incident would take years or even decades to be gradually digested.
No one could have expected that things would develop to such a drastic level, especially when a dignified son was brutally executed in his own home, which was beyond imagination!
For a while, the name of the eldest princess of the empire was like a demon god in White Night City, which was terrifying.
At the same time, the madness shown by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also made people worry, could the great majesty swallow his anger and swallow his anger? Will the imperial family be divided internally because of this? Once the empire is infighting, the Shengyuan Empire in the Eastern Continent will definitely not stand idly by, and at that time, will the foundation laid in the Western Continent in the past two thousand years be eroded?
Panic.
——
And in the palace of White Night City, the highest power of the empire let out a complicated sigh in the study.
The ministers hurriedly offered a cup of forget-me-not-forget tea that cleared their hearts and relieved their worries, and finally made His Majesty, who had passed the age of ▉▉, frown.
On the other side of the desk, Yue Heshan, the current general of the Great Qin Jin Soldier Division, who had just returned to Baiye from Dongli City, couldn't stretch his brows and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled: "What else to do?
Yue Heshan said, "I mean Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”
"That's right, she can't leave her business alone...... In this way, I will write a private message to her and send her another gift to apologize and thank you. ”
Yue Heshan stared at His Majesty the Emperor, regardless of the crime of dereliction of honor, no matter what, he had to make sure that His Majesty was sincere or negative.
However, judging from the many years of experience between their monarchs and ministers, His Majesty is not a person who likes to talk back, and at this time he writes with a pen and a very sincere gesture......
"W-why?"
The emperor sighed as he wrote the letter: "Even you don't understand? If it weren't for the eldest princess's quick decision this time, the situation would have really corroded, and that bastard of the third child almost broke into a catastrophe! I wanted him to be in charge of winning over the Immortal Tree, and he was so bold that he had the audacity to go so far! Offended the three imperial grandmasters in one fell swoop...... Is he the first day he met the eldest princess?!"
Yue Heshan was stunned and speechless.
His Majesty the Emperor said...... It's all right.
That's right, according to normal people's thinking, Lan Lan can't move no matter what, she is the eldest princess who shows her favorite, and hurting her is equivalent to tearing up the most important grandmaster card in the royal family's hands with her own hands, not to mention that Lan Lan has Li Qin behind her, and Zhu Junshen, who is closely related.
The six great masters of the empire directly offended the three people ranked first, third and fourth, isn't this self-defeating?
But...... None of His Majesty's sons were really madmen or idiots.
The reason why the three princes seem stupid is because the operation failed!
What if Lan Lan was killed on the spot and his body was transported back to White Night City, what if he went further and even Qingyue fell on the spot?
At first glance, it seems that the empire will encounter an unprecedented disaster, the snow-capped mountain tribe will be completely furious, the tribal warriors who have been hidden for thousands of years are afraid that they will fall out, and the great grandmaster and the eldest princess will also turn against the current empire, and the royal power will be in turmoil......
But those who know the inside story know that when it comes to that point, His Majesty's throne will be more secure.
Because at that time, the contradiction is no longer between the royal family and the Red Mountain Academy, or the division of the royal family, but the dispute between the territory of human civilization and the alien race in the snow-capped mountains!
Those who will participate in this war will not only be the people of the Great Qin Empire. The 7 Grandmasters of the Shengyuan Council and the hundreds of Demon Dao Masters are all ready to move!
In fact, as early as the moment when Zhu Junshen brought back the Demon Dao Princess Qingyue from the Snow Mountain, the Shengyuan Council had already sent a secret letter to negotiate with the Great Qin Empire to exert pressure...... In a sense, Zhu Junshen's protection of Qingyue is not so justifiable in terms of "righteousness", not to mention that after Bai Xiao, an unprecedented forbidden demon appeared, and then he was accepted by Hongshan Academy.
At this point, in the eyes of ordinary people, they may only find it fresh and interesting, and they are also full of curiosity about the Snow Mountain Tribe, after all, there are few living witnesses of the Horizon tragedy a hundred years ago.
But in the eyes of the upper circles, things are very delicate. Why did the Snow Mountain Tribe suddenly break the rules of escapism at this time? Moreover, the two people who came down the mountain all came to the Red Mountain Academy, and they had a hot fight with the academy and even the Lu family.
But where is the real master of the empire, the imperial family, located?
Therefore, it is logical for His Majesty the Emperor to seek cooperation with the people of the Shengyuan Council, once the content of the cooperation is reached, no matter how domineering the eldest princess is, no matter how pedantic Zhu Junshen is, no matter how ...... Li Qin is Loyalty, it will also be difficult to go against the general trend.
The empire is the empire of the royal family after all, in addition to the grandmasters, there are also hundreds of demon masters, the invincible Great Qin Jin soldiers, and an entire shadow city under the White Night City! If you add the assistance of the Saint Yuan Council, the three grandmasters are really not an invincible force.
and colluded with Shengyuan to engage in infighting...... It's not the first time for the Great Qin Empire.
Separated by a sea of hope, the relationship between the East and the West is not as tense as it was 1800 years ago. The Great Qin Imperial Family's assistance to the Shengyuan Council was far from being as exclusive as the Lu family.
So at the end of the day, although the Three Princes' plan is radical and risky, once it succeeds, the benefits will be unusually rich. And he can use this opportunity to catch up with the huge gap with His Royal Highness the eldest son in one fell swoop!
It's a pity that the third prince failed, Lan Lan survived the operation, but the elite of the immortal tree who carried out the mission was killed and wounded, and he was caught.
At this time, it is reasonable for His Majesty the Emperor to cut off these princes...... It's better to say that it's just a chess piece that is already a spare piece, and you can get through the difficulties without danger to avoid the backlash, His Majesty the Emperor's calculation is really chilling!
At this time, I heard the emperor say: "Yue Heshan, don't think so much, many things are not so profoundly calculated. ”
Yue Heshan's cold sweat poured out in an instant.
As an imperial general, his own demonic cultivation is quite good, and he has many talisman magic tools that are always by his side, so it is impossible for people to easily read his mind, but His Majesty the Emperor is clearly ...... just now
"You're not alone. As the lord of the empire, could it be that he would be ignorant of what was going on under his nose? I really didn't know anything about the bold plan of my own son? Was there my connivance from beginning to end? Hehe, it would be strange if people didn't doubt it. ”
After a pause, the Emperor put down his pen, folded and sealed the written apology and thank you letter, and then raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the Imperial General.
"I really don't know what happened, at least I don't know that he will be so bold and his plans will be so radical...... I have 9 sons, and it's impossible to know every thought of everyone. Of course, if you want to say whether there is any connivance with me, of course there is, because ignorance is the greatest connivance. But so what?"
His Majesty the Emperor smiled: "This is the Great Qin Imperial Family. ”
At this time, Yue Heshan also had the courage to ask, "But someone else...... Will Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess accept this explanation?"
"Of course she will. The emperor smiled again, "She herself is a product of the imperial family's connivance and education, how can she not understand the word connivance? If there is no connivance of the previous emperor, where will she have the opportunity to touch the apocalypse and be promoted to the grandmaster? Not to mention committing murder in the palace at every turn." The family that really did not accept the connivance had abdicated for 1,400 years...... So you see, she knew that the madness of the third child had my connivance, but she still only killed the third child, and then the matter was cut off, so as not to cause a chain. Well, I have already written the letter, so you will send it to her on my behalf, and by the way, let's mend the southern Xinjiang front, those soldiers are the most innocent victims. ”
Yue Heshan took the letter, only to feel that the letter in his hand from His Majesty the Emperor was as heavy as a mountain.
And even heavier is the so-called imperial mind.
Your Majesty, that is your own son after all!
