Traveling through the infinite wasteland

Chapter 686 The dead are dying

Now, all I can do is to make His Majesty's last wish come true and support the new emperor to take over power smoothly!

As long as I still have breath, I will never let the group of people outside mess around! Manager Yan calmly stroked his waist and made up his mind in private.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the palace gate.

"What's going on?" She raised her eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.

Several palace guards immediately ran away for a while, then turned back.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess... no, Her Majesty the Queen is back!" Someone shouted outside.

Manager Yan looked happy and said hurriedly: "Let your Majesty come in quickly!"

The palace door opened, and an anxious-looking Fang Yuqing rushed in like a whirlwind! Suddenly, among the big shots in the outer hall, there was a trace of loss that was hard to detect in the eyes of a few guys.

The queen's face turned pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Fang Yuqing had no time to pay attention to them at this moment and entered the inner courtyard of the palace alone.

"Your Majesty, you are almost back!" Manager Yan said with relief.

"How is Father?" Fang Yuqing asked anxiously.

She twitched the corners of her eyes: "Go and have a few final words with him!"

Fang Xuting, who was sleeping, vaguely heard the movement beside him, and slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see his daughter's anxious gaze.

"Child, you...are back?" The corners of his mouth moved, and he said with some difficulty.

Fang Yuqing looked at her father's sick appearance and couldn't help but feel sad. Tears welled up in her eyes: "Father, my daughter is unfilial! I have made you suffer!"

Fang Xuting smiled weakly and said, "It'll be great if you come back! I... leave this burden to you!"

"Father, what is going on?" Fang Yuqing saw that his breath was getting weaker and she grabbed his hand urgently and asked.

"Some things cannot be changed by human power... Actually, you blame me..." Fang Xuting said slowly.

Fang Yuqing looked at Manager Yan aside with some confusion. She seemed to know something and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you mean..."

"It's no use talking about it now!" Fang Xuting sighed softly, "My child, I can't do it anymore... I will ask you one thing before I leave. Be kind to your brothers and sisters! Even if... it's not a last resort. , don’t hurt them..."

"...Understood, I will remember it!" Although Fang Yuqing was confused, she still agreed.

"You left for a while and walked around. Did you go to see him?" Fang Xuting asked again.

"...Yes!" She responded a little sheepishly.

"He is a good boy. Maybe I... really shouldn't treat him like this... After a while, you can call him back! It's a pity that I won't be able to see your wedding..."

"Father..." Fang Yuqing cried bitterly, and the little resentment in her heart disappeared.

Fang Xuting felt that his body was gradually becoming colder, waves of uncontrollable fatigue came over him, and he knew that he was about to die!

He managed to gather his consciousness, which was about to be scattered, and said to General Manager Yan: "Let them all come in!"

Manager Yan nodded gently and waved, and a palace guard immediately walked away quietly for a while.

Soon, half a hundred important officials of the empire gathered in front of the bed.

A frightening cold light suddenly appeared in Fang Xuting's eyes. He stared at these veterans who had followed him for many years and said, "You all know my decision! After I leave, you must do your best to assist the new emperor and stabilize the court." It's like assisting me! Do you know?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured that the empire will firmly safeguard the authority of Her Majesty the Queen! Protect the peace of the empire!" Gurungs said immediately.

Wang Guangchang hesitated for a moment, looked at Fang Xuting's eyes, and said quickly: "I and the imperial cabinet will also swear allegiance to the Queen! Your Majesty, just rest assured!"

No matter what thoughts the other half-hundred ministers had in mind at this time, they just had to express their opinions one by one.

"That's good!" Fang Xuting nodded lightly with satisfaction.

"Father, do you have anything else to say?" Fang Yuqing asked again.

"...Me!" Fang Xuting stretched out his clenched right hand tremblingly. There was a delicate necklace, and on the heart-shaped pendant, there was the image of a beautiful girl, who was 78% similar to Fang Yuqing.

"I only thought about seeing your mother again... What a pity..." He muttered, staring at the image of the woman.

Manager Yan hesitated, not sure what to say.

Suddenly, his hand dropped down weakly, the look in his eyes gradually dimmed, and his vitality stagnated!

"Father..."

There was a sudden cry of sorrow in the hall!

In the end, it was Chief Yan who was the first to calm down and ordered loudly: "My lords, now that Your Majesty has passed away, the empire cannot be left without an owner for a day. The most important thing today is to allow Her Majesty the Queen to officially ascend the throne, summon all the ministers, and establish orthodox!"

This statement is reasonable and reasonable, and no one can find fault with it.

At that moment, black veils were hung inside and outside the imperial palace. The ministers changed their clothes and went to the Juntian Hall of the imperial palace to pay homage to the new emperor!

After all the complicated etiquette procedures were completed, it was already dawn.

Fang Yuqing, who was dressed in filial piety, sat on the throne in the middle of the hall under the guidance of Manager Yan.

Under the Jade Star, the ministers are already in place. No matter what strange calculations they have in their hearts, the overall situation has been decided at this time, and there is no chance for them to join forces to cause trouble!

Looking at the ministers and ministers below who were paying homage, Fang Yuqing looked calm and began to perform her duties meticulously according to the scheduled procedures!

Of course, no one knows what the young queen is thinking about! Even Manager Yan, who was standing beside her, couldn't understand her thoughts.

Wells, a well-known current affairs observer in Xinghai, commented: Compared with the change of power in the Genaslok Empire more than a month ago, the transfer of power in the Shuofeng Empire is obviously smoother! Although there was a crisis, due to the late emperor's decisive decision, the queen rushed back in time, and there was no danger in the end! Didn’t cause too much turmoil!

This huge empire has recently expanded to more than 300 powerful countries in the universe! What changes will there be under the leadership of this young queen? Will she continue the national policy of her father's generation, or make some changes according to her own preferences? Very exciting!

In the imperial study room, Fang Yuqing raised her head from the pile of documents and files, exhaled gently, and rubbed her eyebrows. )

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. She also gradually adapted to her new role.

As the new emperor ascended the throne, everything inside and outside the imperial palace quietly changed, including the imperial study. Because she is the empress, the decorative style of all decorative pendants and utensils tends to be based on jackals, phoenixes, birds, and flowers. It is less masculine and domineering than the former emperor and more feminine. Beautiful and graceful!

"Your Majesty!" Manager Yan came in from outside and announced, "Prime Minister Wang Guangchang has something to meet with!"

Fang Yuqing frowned slightly and said, "Let him come in!"

In order to stabilize the government and reassure people, she did not make too many adjustments to the high-level power structure, and most of the officials remained in their original positions. Some of the senior ministers will also be given titles to show the new emperor's benevolence!

Only when the negative impact of the late emperor's death gradually disappears and his authority is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people can he make some necessary reforms according to his own wishes! This is a star segment that every qualified monarch must experience!

Therefore, despite not having a good impression of the fat prime minister, she still allowed him to stay in the position of chief minister of the cabinet and made him a first-class earl!

"This guy has simply insulted the honorable title of superior! Although he wears a shiny skin, he is an out-and-out gangster at heart! He is still the lowest class!" She used to comment on him privately in front of Manager Yan. .

After a while, this "lowest gangster" swayed in with a swollen belly. He was so fat that he could hardly keep his center of gravity when saluting the queen on the throne. balance!

"What important matter does Wang Qing have to meet with me?" Fang Yuqing asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, I have two things to report here!" Wang Guangchang said humbly, "One is that the Imperial Marshal, the Governor of Shiloh Province, and the Imperial Duke Ye Qingyuan have failed to report their duties to Your Majesty on time three times in a row. The military department was not notified, all matters big and small were decided by oneself, and inquiries about the cabinet were ignored!"

"Such behavior has seriously violated his duties as a subject of the empire and violated the laws of the empire! Even after the late emperor passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne, he did not show any sign! This is an unforgivable sin!"

"Therefore, I suggest that Ye Qingyuan should be dismissed from his post and demoted, escorted back to the imperial capital, and handed over to the Court of Superiors and the Imperial Supreme Court for a joint trial!"

Fang Yuqing raised her eyebrows and replied lukewarmly: "No!"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Guangchang seemed to have anticipated the Queen's reaction, and said in a more serious tone: "What Ye Qingyuan did, according to the relevant laws of the empire, is close to treason. This kind of behavior that ignores the majesty of the royal family and the order of the empire is It will never be tolerated!”

"Although the late emperor had previously intended to marry her to your majesty, such a arrogant, domineering, and unruly person is not a good match for your majesty!"

"I have here a joint memorial from the cabinet, the Imperial Parliament, the House of Superiors, and more than 500 officials and superiors. They all jointly demand that Ye Qingyuan be severely punished! The law of the country must be upheld!"

With that said, the old ghost presented a thick stack of documents in his hand. The female officer next to him took it and turned around and sent it to the desk in front of Fang Yuqing.

"That guy's words are indeed true. How many days have it been like this? Someone is starting to sow discord!" Fang Yuqing thought in his mind. He glanced at the pile of papers with impunity.

If you don't give a justifiable reason, this hateful fat man will continue to pester you endlessly, and may even gather more people to make trouble!

She thought for a moment and said slowly: "Wang Qing is actually worrying too much! As early as when the late emperor was still alive, he had already dismissed Ye Qingyuan from the post of governor and reassigned him to implement another top-secret plan. Due to the need for confidentiality, Therefore, it was not announced in court!”

"Ye Qingyuan's current identity and location are the top secrets of the empire! I might as well give you some insight. Whether the empire can smoothly take over the Xuanluo Federation in the future is directly related to the plan he is currently implementing! Therefore, these accusations of yours , is simply untenable!”

"This..." Wang Guangchang didn't expect this to happen. He wanted to ask for information. However, since it involved empire secrets, there was nothing he could do if the Queen didn't tell her!

However, he quickly calmed down and said correctly: "Since your Majesty has something to say, I know it!"

"The second thing is that the royal family of the Tyroa Empire sent an inquiry about the marriage contract between Prince Grozi and His Majesty..."

"That's enough!" Fang Yuqing interrupted the Prime Minister without humility and said coldly: "I have never been engaged to that loser!"

"However, Your Majesty, the late Emperor promised before and issued a formal edict. This matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be regretted! Otherwise, it will cause diplomatic disputes between the two countries!" Wang Guangchang said hesitantly.

The Queen snorted coldly: "The edict? Where is it? Ask them to take it out and show it to me!"

She had torn the edict to pieces on the spot, so how could there be anything left to take out?

Facing the queen who was determined to cheat, Wang Guangchang had no idea for a while.

Fang Yuqingying stood up and said calmly: "I only have an edict here, which was given by the late emperor to marry me to Duke Ye Qingyuan. Now Yun Qing is carrying out secret tasks outside and doing his best for the empire's plan to plot the star sea! It's impossible! I can’t go back to the imperial capital for a long time!”

"However, there is no need to worry. For the great cause of the empire, both I and Yun Qing can afford to wait. When the work is completed in the future, it will not be too late to hold this wedding when Yun Qing returns to the court!"

"Therefore, regarding my marriage, Wang Qing and all the ministers in the cabinet should stop worrying about it! Do your own work first!"

The Queen's words were soft but strong. Not only did she clear up her entanglement with Grozzi, but she also completely blocked the mouth of the rogue Prime Minister, so that he and his cronies would not be able to make a fuss about this matter in the future. !

"I'm tired. If nothing happens, Wang Qing, you can retreat!"

"Understood, Your Majesty!" Wang Guangchang said helplessly, and retreated dejectedly for a while.

Doesn’t this young new master seem so easy to fool? I'm afraid it won't be easy to handle from now on! It’s a sad day! The rogue prime minister pondered with a headache along the way.

In the imperial study, Fang Yuqing played with the tea cup on the desk and said bitterly: "This old guy really has bad intentions! I heard that the time my father changed his mind, was this old gangster instigating him?"

"Your Majesty, that's it!" Manager Yan said softly. "It's just that the situation in the court is not stable now, so Your Majesty has to endure it for a while!"

"After a year and a half, just look for your majesty at Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com..."

She didn't say anything further. The Queen's ability was not inferior to that of the late Emperor, and she had her own opinion in her heart! No need for her to waste any words.

Fang Yuqing shrugged, stopped dwelling on the topic, and asked her, "Has everything been done?"

Manager Yan nodded lightly: "All the resources controlled by the late Emperor have been transferred to His Majesty! You can use them at any time!"

"More than 20,000 members of the high-star royal family, 80 legions of supernatural guards, and 48 special forces! They have all sworn allegiance to His Majesty!"

When Fang Yuqing first ascended to the throne, his first priority was to seize military power! With a knife in your hand, your words have weight!

Outside, the loyal Gurungs has declared his firm support for the new emperor on behalf of the Strategic Command! The next thing to do is to master all the military forces in the royal family!

In fact, as far as the emperor is concerned, in many cases only the Imperial Guards are the force that he can directly command! This is also the key asset to defend the throne and safeguard the interests of the royal family! (To be continued.)
