Traveling through the infinite wasteland

"I don't know what your Highness's order is?" He hesitated, walked over and asked.

Feeling the deliberate alienation in his tone, Fang Yukun's expression changed slightly, and then he smiled again: "While we were on the front line, I was very impressed by the general's heroic performance! After returning to China, the general's ability to manage the army has become even better. It’s surprising! In addition, he is loyal to His Majesty. Looking at the empire, there are not many capable ministers like the general!"

"It stands to reason that the general's future should be bright, and it would be easy for him to leave his name in history! It's a pity that the pearl has cast a shadow! It's really a pity!"

Ye Qingyuan said calmly: "I don't understand what Your Highness said! Please make it clear!"

Of course he knew what Fang Yukun meant, but this situation involved a battle for power! It's not something he can control at all. If it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor's hint, he would definitely be hiding as far away as he could! And why is it directly mixed in? Therefore, we can only pretend to be careless.

Wei Dongyang came out, pulled him aside without any explanation, and whispered: "General Yun, when you were in my army, I watched you fight with blood all the way, and you rose up with your true ability! You were so good at that time I admire you very much!”

"Both you and I were born in poverty, and fought hard on the battlefield to achieve the glory we have today! We should also know how important it is to have a wise and wise master for our future!"

"His Highness is very impressed by you! You know what he means! Why don't you agree? Do you think that Fang Yanren, who only knows how to drink and play with women, will be better than His Highness? He is more suitable to lead the future. empire?"

Ye Qingyuan spread his hands and said helplessly: "General Wei, you are my old boss! We all know some things! We are not allowed to get involved in this fight for power! I am not involved in this muddy water. I mean, no matter who Your Majesty chooses in the future, we just have to fulfill our duties as ministers!"

"However, as long as you express your support for His Highness! His Highness's chances of winning will be much greater!" Wei Dongyang stared at him and said, "You have also seen His Highness's performance on the front line! His talents are fully qualified for that position! And his His magnanimity and magnanimity are among the best among the children of the imperial race! With such a lord, our future and the future of the empire will be guaranteed! Isn’t that so?”

"Listen to my words and come here!" Wei Dongyang said earnestly, "What the second prince can give you is nothing more than some property and a few women! His Highness and I can give you the same, and he can also make achievements for you. An opportunity to show your ambition!”

"Don't you expect to see the Imperial Star Sea unify the five directions? I have waited for His Highness to say that as long as you are willing to come over, he will definitely help you solve your unnecessary troubles! For example, the Yun family! If you are in the future If you have enough merit, he may even allow you to re-establish a human race like them!"

Wei Dongyang's words are not insincere, and they are indeed so! Fang Yukun's personal abilities are extremely outstanding among today's descendants of the imperial race! If, if His Majesty hadn't revealed everything to him before, he might have been a little moved! However, at present, he can't say anything!

"General Wei, I appreciate His Highness's kindness! I just understand that everything depends on Your Majesty's will, and I can't help you at all!" He said calmly.

"You... General Yun, I remember that you have always been very sensible. Why are you so stubborn about this matter? What did Fang Yanren give you? Do you want to defend him like this?" Wei Dongyang was angry again. Staring at him with heartache again.

"Wei Dongyang! You are too courageous, and you are even trying to poach me here!" came an angry voice.

I don't know when, Fang Yanren came over, glared at Wei Dongyang with an unkind expression, and said: "Your master is almost capable, but so what? He is not from the father, and he is still far away from that position. It’s a big one! What are you daydreaming about?”

"You guys are not good people. Aren't you just trying to figure out the contribution of your support? This king..."

This His Highness is really... When he is angry, he speaks indiscriminately! Can you say this casually? Ye Qingyuan hurriedly pulled him and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the time is almost up, let's get ready to meet you!"

Fang Yanren became silent. In the distance, some veterans looked here casually, turned back with normal expressions, and continued discussing issues of mutual concern.

Not long after, the main entrance of the imperial palace rumblingly opened, and under the command of the imperial guard officers, the ministers filed in.

Inside the main entrance is a wide jade-colored crystal avenue. The ground is paved with priceless Jade Emperor crystal floor tiles. Each floor tile is two meters square, and various exquisite and majestic dragons and jackals are carved on it with extremely skillful techniques. , Taotie moiré pattern!

On both sides of the avenue, every two meters stood a palace guard wearing golden heavy armor. Their combat effectiveness was above eight stars, and the little leader's rating was at least nine stars! The further you go, the stronger the combat effectiveness of the guards becomes. Even if they are of the same star level, there is a huge difference in energy intensity!

Walking all the way, after passing the third palace gate, we finally arrived at the main palace!

Several palace guards of Qianxingpin pushed open the extremely heavy palace door, and everyone held their breath and entered the main hall. According to the grade, people line up to wait.

Not long after, Fang Moxing, surrounded by a group of palace maids' personal guards, finally ascended to the palace.

In this era, it is impossible to be as clear-cut as in ancient times, where the king and his ministers had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times! The ministers only need to bow and greet each other under the command of the palace female officer. Moreover, officials all have seats during discussions!

After all the ministers had finished their ceremony, according to the usual practice, Prime Minister Wang Guangchang reported on the operations of the various ministries of the empire's cabinet in the previous month, and then gave the cabinet's opinions on various recent affairs inside and outside the empire. The emperor can decide whether to approve or not depending on the situation, or he can leave it to the ministers for discussion!

Immediately afterwards, officials from various departments, who are unable to make decisions on major issues arising in their respective areas of responsibility, will raise them at this time and submit them to His Majesty and the Cabinet for decision.

"Dear gentlemen! I have no intention of saying anything else about today's court meeting!" Before Wang Guangchang could speak, Fang Moxing suddenly waved his hand and said, "I have called you here today to announce a big event!"

At this moment, the two palace maids brought up a gilt dragon seat and placed it under the emperor's throne, only one star lower than the throne.

Wang Guangchang was a little surprised, but he quickly came to his senses and said humbly: "I don't know what your Majesty's order is? Please give me your instructions!"

"I have decided on the candidate for the crown prince of the empire!" Fang Moxing said calmly, "I will tell you here today!"

"Fang Yanren, come to my side!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the hall!

All the ministers were shocked! No one expected that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly propose to establish a crown prince at this moment!

In the past year and a half, there had been calls for the appointment of a heir apparent, but as a result the emperor did not express his position, and the matter was dropped! However, after so long, His Majesty the Emperor brought up the old matter again and made such a straightforward decision! They didn't get any information beforehand!

What is the deep meaning of His Majesty the Emperor's doing this?

"Bang!" A dull crashing sound suddenly appeared, causing the ministers' minds to twist slightly!

"Why?" In the corner of the hall, Fang Yukun raised his leg and kicked over his seat. Looking at his uncle who was sitting on the throne, he asked with fear and anger.

"Why?" Fang Yukun asked angrily, looking at his uncle sitting on the throne. )

He has reason to be angry. His Majesty's descendants are all of mediocre ability. According to past practice, more suitable candidates should be selected from close relatives. Therefore, he is fully qualified to compete for this son.

If it was just an accident, with his ability and performance on the battlefield, maybe he really has a chance! However, for Fang Xuqing, who had already made up his mind, he had been excluded from the event as early as the beginning!

Ye Qingyuan looked at Gurungs, who was sitting above him, and saw that the top figure in the strategic command headquarters had his eyes half closed, motionless like an old monk in meditation, making it clear that he had no intention of expressing any opinions!

Wang Guangchang stood there, looking at Fang Yukun and then at the emperor. Blinking a pair of small eyes, I don’t know what I am thinking! For this monarch who has served him for decades, he can to some extent figure out some of the other person's thoughts. Of course, at this time, he will never come out to speak, so as not to bring trouble to himself!

Among the cabinet officials, the leading figures in various departments remained silent. He even saw Fang Yuqing, who was looking at the seat with a faint smile on his lips! As if feeling Ye Qingyuan's gaze, she turned her head and looked at him, a hint of cunning flashed in her beautiful black and white eyes!

She should know His Majesty's thoughts, right? I also understand that Your Majesty has hinted at me. It is impossible that she does not know all the arrangements of her father!

In the area where the members of the royal race were, a young man with a slightly bloated figure and some similarities between his eyebrows and Fang Yanren also had a red face and clenched fists! It was obvious that he was extremely angry. Don't ask, this should be the 8th prince Fang Chengyuan! But after all, his courage was a little weaker than Fang Yukun's, and he didn't dare to stand up and question his father!

And the focal figure in the hall: Fang Yanren. At this time, his face looked a little pale due to excessive excitement! When he first heard his father's words, he really thought he was in a dream!

Why didn't he expect that this position fell to him so easily! His father had always been kind to him before, and he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily! But today, my long-cherished wish has really become a reality!

First, the Director of the Superpower Corps took refuge, and today his dream came true. It seems that even God is really blessing me!

Fang Xucheng ignored his nephew's question, swept his calm eyes across the faces of the ministers, and called out again: "Fang Yanren, come over and sit down!"

Fang Yanren reacted quickly and hurriedly stood up and came to the throne. He knelt down on one knee to his father. After a solemn ceremony, the two maids helped him up and sat on the seat.

Until this moment, his arms were still trembling slightly uncontrollably.

Fang Xucheng glanced at him and said, "All the ministers, please come and pay homage to the prince!"

The emperor's voice was not loud and his tone was gentle, but it carried an unquestionable majesty!

The ministers looked at each other in confusion. After a brief hesitation, Wang Guangchang stood up and directed all the civil and military officials to salute!

Watching the big shots who had deliberately distanced themselves from him in the past, kneeling in front of him, Fang Yanren felt as if he was walking on the clouds!

This is real! I have really become the prince of the empire, the future master of this empire!

Ye Qingyuan raised his head in the crowd and stared at His Highness who was overly excited. He sighed softly in his heart and knelt down along with everyone else.

I really gave you an advantage today, you actually asked me to give you this waste a big gift! Fang Yuqing expected with some gloom, however, this guy wouldn't be proud for a few more days, by then! I won't let you even have a chance to kneel down to me!

Everyone present knelt down, but Fang Yukun remained standing, motionless!

Fang Xucheng glanced at him at this moment and said calmly: "Fang Yukun has an audience with the Crown Prince!"

The corner of Fang Yukun's mouth twitched, but he did not move, still staring at his uncle without speaking!

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he repeated it again, but still ignored him! In an instant, the eyes of the supreme ruler of the empire finally turned cold!

Two daggers as cold as swords suddenly burst out from his dark eyes!

"Fang-Yu-Kun?" The angry voice contained an unconcealable cold murderous intent!

"...I...don't accept it!" Fang Yukun finally couldn't withstand the pressure and his momentum weakened, but he still persisted.

Fang Xucheng smiled coldly: "You accept it, or you don't accept it! No one can affect it! All it can affect is your personal future!"

"Fang Yukun, my nephew! For the sake of your bloody battles for the empire in the past, I will give you one last chance to come and see the Crown Prince! In the future, you will abide by your duties as a king and minister, and I will not care about your previous neglect!"

The coercion was so solid that the breathing of all the ministers present became stagnant.

A general who was closer to him and had a good relationship with him had the courage to pull him, but he pushed him away!

Seeing him like this, Fang Xucheng's expression softened again, and he calmly ordered: "Where are the palace guards?"

Immediately, the palace door was closed tightly, and dozens of guards wearing heavy armor and exuding powerful aura emerged from the corner!

"Take it!"

The guards agreed with a bang and went to Shuyuan www. zhaoshuyuan.com came towards Fang Yukun.

"Who dares to touch me!" Fang Yukun showed the energy knife in his hand with a "swish" sound, and glared at the guards approaching around him!

"Fang Yukun, why do you dare to use strong soldiers here?" Gurungs's face changed and he hurriedly scolded: "Showing your sword in front of the emperor is a serious crime of treason! Why don't you quickly put down your weapons and admit your mistake to His Majesty?"

"He is not my majesty!" Fang Yukun said with an angry smile, "Uncle, you are doing it for your own selfishness! You promoted this waste to the throne, and the nobles of the clan will not let you do this! I want to see what will happen to him in the future. Are you lucky enough to ascend the throne?"

With that said, he turned around and struck out with his sword, and the area tens of meters around him was instantly enveloped in a cold air! He broke through the siege of dozens of guards! His Highness the Duke also has a powerful cultivation level of twelve stars!

"Bold!" With an angry shout, two golden light dragons emerged from the top of the palace and wrapped around him extremely quickly!

Two semi-god-level experts took action, but Fang Yukun could no longer hold on. He was flanked by the two powerful men and knocked the energy knife out of his hand. Then, he was put on a specially made one by the guards, specially designed to imprison high-star awakened people. Heavy magnetic pull back alloy lock! (To be continued.)
