Chapter 424 The Mastermind (Please subscribe and vote)
"This matter is too complicated. Don't get involved anymore." Elder Yunlong sighed, obviously not wanting Lin Yi to get involved in this complicated power struggle.
You have to know that the succession of the emperor is an extremely sensitive matter in any world or dynasty.
With the succession of the new emperor, the most important thing is to deal with a large number of forces that do not obey him. At that time, there will be a lot of heads rolling.
"Who said I am not involved? Am I not involved?"
On the way back, Lin Yi repeatedly thought about everything he had experienced, and gradually realized that there seemed to be a black hand behind him targeting him in secret.
Lin Yi's predecessor happened to meet Viscount Mark's recruitment team as soon as he arrived at the Black Earth Fortress. This coincidence is really incredible.
All signs indicate that someone deliberately obstructed him from finding the important medicinal material.
As long as Lin Yi died in the Black Earth Fortress, this matter would end silently.
In this conspiracy, both Carlos and Viscount Mark were just pawns sacrificed by the other party to achieve their goals.
First, Lin Yi considered Prince Longte.
But Lin Yi soon denied this possibility, because Prince Longte's power base is the nobles, and he is unlikely to abandon an important marquis under his command because of a small figure like Lin Yi.
Such a move would be too disadvantageous for Prince Longte, and it might damage his relationship with the nobles, leading to disunity within the power.
Then, Lin Yi thought of the prince.
But the prince currently has difficulty in fully controlling his own people, let alone arranging an action like assassinating Lin Yi.
Moreover, judging from the prince's personality and ability, it is unlikely that he could plan such a sophisticated plan.
After excluding Prince Longte and the prince, the only candidate left is the seventeenth prince.
The seventeenth prince can achieve multiple goals at once through this matter.
First, eliminate Lin Yi and prevent Lin Yi from finding medicinal materials. You must know that the medicinal material that Elder Yunlong is looking for is to prolong the life of the old emperor.
Now the secret medicines used by the old emperor are all very precious secret medicines, because secret medicines are also resistant.
In order to maintain his life, the old emperor needs to constantly look for more rare medicinal materials to make new secret medicines.
The medicinal materials that Lin Yi is looking for this time may be the life-saving straw that the old emperor urgently needs.
By stopping Lin Yi, the seventeenth prince intends to cut off the supply of secret medicines for the old emperor, thereby accelerating the emperor's death.
In this way, the issue of succession to the throne will be put on the table in advance, creating favorable conditions for him to seize the throne.
Second, cut off the power of Prince Longte.
The Black Soil Fortress was originally under the control of Marquis Mark, who, as a marquis, has a pivotal position in the Longteng Empire.
However, Marquis Mark chose to form an alliance with Prince Longte, which undoubtedly made the seventeenth prince feel threatened.
In the eyes of the seventeenth prince, Marquis Mark has become a stumbling block on his way to succession.
Therefore, using Lin Yi's death to frame Marquis Mark can not only make Marquis Mark lose his title, but also take this opportunity to place his own people in key positions.
In this way, the seventeenth prince not only weakened Prince Longte's power, but also strengthened his own influence.
Carlos is undoubtedly an important trump card in the hands of the Seventeenth Prince.
He climbed up step by step from the bottom of the army, and has rich practical experience and deep hatred for the tribe, which makes him the most staunch supporter of the Seventeenth Prince.
After Marquis Mark got into trouble, Carlos was able to quickly replace him and become the legion commander. There is no doubt that the Seventeenth Prince has carefully planned behind this.
Normally, a legion will have three deputy legion commanders, but in special times, when important figures such as Marquis Mark get into trouble, the upper echelons often choose to parachute a new legion commander to lead.
At this time, Carlos's rise to power is a bit intriguing. The last point is that this incident can be used to arouse the hatred of the Holy Dragon Academy for the tribe, thereby further consolidating and expanding its sphere of influence.
He plans to use Lin Yi's "accidental" death on the battlefield to shift the blame to the tribe, thereby inciting the anger of the Holy Dragon Academy.
In this way, he will have the opportunity to reach out to the Holy Dragon Academy and further control this academic institution with great influence.
However, man's plans are not as good as God's plans.
What the Seventeenth Prince did not expect was that Lin Yi would suddenly occupy the body of that "unlucky guy" and escape from the tribe's siege.
This unexpected turn completely disrupted the Seventeenth Prince's subsequent plans.
"The Seventeenth Prince is too impatient. Among all the princes, he is the youngest, but he seems to lack patience." Elder Yunlong said in a deep voice, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.
As the dean of the Holy Dragon Academy, he not only has profound academic attainments, but also has a high sensitivity to politics.
It can be said that in the Longteng Empire, few people can understand the current situation more thoroughly than him.
"So, who do you support?" Elder Yunlong slowly put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Lin Yi with a sharp gaze.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing at this moment, as if even the air had solidified.
Lin Yi smiled: "Of course I support whoever wins, and there is only one winner now, right?"
"You little rascal."
Old Man Yunlong smiled. Although Lin Yi made Old Man Yunlong feel a little strange when he just came back, as time went by, Old Man Yunlong's suspicion became less and less.
"Let's go, follow me to meet that old guy Hal Adam."
Old Yunlong stood up and immediately led Lin Yi and Su Xiao out of the room.
The three of them stepped onto the Holy Dragon Academy's exclusive carriage, which symbolized dignity and glory.
The main color of the car body is deep blue, with golden dragon-shaped decorations wrapped around it, making it look majestic, as if a real dragon is galloping.
The carriage started slowly, and the wheels rolled over the bluestone road, heading towards the palace.
When the soldiers along the way saw the carriage, they stood at attention and saluted, but did not step forward to stop it.
They knew this carriage. It was the exclusive carriage of the Dean of Holy Dragon Academy and represented the supreme status and privilege.
The emperor had given an order that there was no need to intercept the carriage, which allowed the carriage to travel unimpeded on the palace roads.
The soldiers looked at the carriage passing by, their eyes filled with awe and envy.
The carriage stopped steadily in front of the palace gate. Lin Yi and the other three calmly stepped out of the carriage and stepped onto the stone steps of the palace.
"Dean, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." The chamberlain said respectfully to the old man Yunlong.
Old Yunlong nodded and led Lin Yi to follow the chamberlain deep into the palace.
They walked through the magnificent palace corridors and came to a quiet courtyard.
"Let's go, don't keep that old guy Hal Adam waiting too long." Old Yunlong said with a smile, his tone revealing the deep friendship between him and the emperor.
The soldiers around heard Old Yunlong calling the emperor this way, but they didn't react at all, as if they were used to it. They all looked forward and maintained a professional posture.
Old Man Yunlong and the current Emperor Hal Adam are indeed old acquaintances.
The friendship between the two can be traced back to their teenage years. At Royal Intermediate College, they were not only classmates but also close friends in the same dormitory.
