Chapter 657 Showdown (1)
Annabel's plan failed unexpectedly! After receiving the "edict", Yadon not only ignored her, but instead accused her of colluding with treacherous and imprisoning the emperor with ill intentions! He also called on the empire to jointly attack the second prince and his sect!
Just when she was not thinking about how to deal with it, another disaster-like news came. Several eunuchs and palace maids who were responsible for taking care of the old emperor's daily life suddenly got rid of the tight surveillance and disappeared quietly!
Immediately, rumors began to spread in the imperial capital that the emperor had been killed and the murderer was the Crown Princess and the eunuch Tolles!
The second prince, who was frightened and uneasy, made all his tricks to cover up the truth. However, as time went by, the spread of rumors became wider and wider! The court, who was already suspicious, could no longer hold back. Several respected old ministers jointly asked the second prince and the crown princess to come out to explain the truth, and asked to meet His Majesty the Emperor immediately!
The old emperor had long died for a long time, so how could there be any living people to see them? As the doubts of the government and the public became louder and louder, Annabel saw that the situation was out of control and had to announce the emperor's death!
Of course, she would definitely not reveal the inside story, but just said that the emperor was working hard on state affairs and died of serious illness!
However, this approach of trying to cover up the truth did not calm the situation down. On the contrary, the government and the public became more and more confused, believing that there must be unknown hidden information!
It was said that the old emperor stayed in hiding, but later he said he had passed away from illness. It took so many geniuses to announce that such contradictory and loopholes could not calm the doubts of the ministers! Many court officials demanded a thorough investigation of the truth of the matter!
After being forced to discuss with his father, the Imperial Prime Minister Conner Holwhite, Annabel used another plan to take down the eunuch Tolles, and then claimed to the outside world that the eleventh prince Aden colluded with him to jointly murder the advanced emperor, and forged an edict to try to usurp the artifact!
However, Yadon was not a fool, so he immediately refuted the princess's relationship with the eunuch chief, killing the predecessor, and concealing the truth of the matter, trying to kill the legitimate heirs of the empire, so as to steal the throne!
The war of words between the two sides was extremely fierce, but the government and the people believed that the 11th prince had more power. At least, on the way back to China, Yadon did not dare to make any efforts to intercept his fleet. Moreover, with his ability, even if he encountered several wars, he would easily win, which led to more fleets falling towards him!
In more than a week, as many as nearly a hundred administrative heads of star fields announced their support for Yadon!
Later, Annabel, who was so angry that he simply did not stop and summoned the court officials of his own sect, proclaiming that the second prince ascended the throne as the new emperor of the empire immediately, and the eleventh prince Aden rebelled for the empire, and then bloodily purged a group of officials loyal to the predecessor to shock the hearts!
Then, she ordered the mobilization of heavy troops to encircle and suppress Yadon, and the civil war in the empire officially broke out!
The news spread and the whole country was in an uproar! The main legion of the empire that was attacking the Black Republic on the front line also divided! Many senior generals loyal to the emperor stopped their offensives, some waited and watched on the spot, and some publicly announced their support for the Eleventh Prince. This made the republic, which was on the verge of collapse, gained a precious respite!
Everything is developing as Yun Haoyu's monarch and ministers imagined. Perhaps without any surprises, this battle for the throne will last for a long time! Until the army of the Starlight Empire goes south!
...
The eastern end of the Star Sea World, the Yanwei Tribal Alliance Holy Land, and the Xi Naga Star Domain.
Located at the top of the stone tower at the center of the star field, at the gravitational balance point of the twin black hole, several powerful Yan Wei men wearing thick black sacrificial robes were standing under the statue, discussing with a solemn expression.
"His Excellency Mudgram, what do you think we should deal with the civil war in the Rockefeller Empire in the human world?" A woman with a charming figure, a cold and weird face, and a strange head with a strange golden crown asked.
"Dear Master, logically speaking, we should not interfere too much with the civil war in the human kingdom, but the royal family of this great power is an important piece that we will support to unify the southwest star sea! If the war between the two princes lasts too long, it will undoubtedly weaken the foundation of the empire and affect the grand plan of our clan!" Mudegram slowly analyzed,
"So, it is necessary for us to break the convention and intervene in person to make the empire stabilize as soon as possible and to implement our plan smoothly!"
Another high priest Yanwei asked: "So what extent do you think we should intervene? Should we provide assistance to one of them to support him ascend the throne! Or should we directly send strong people to help him destroy his opponent?"
"In order to resolve this matter quickly, my opinion is of course to kill one of the princes directly, so that the situation in the empire can stabilize as soon as possible!" Mudgram said.
The patriarch thought for a moment and said, "I think your opinion makes sense, but which party should we choose to support to be more in line with the interests of our clan?"
Another guardian saint said: "I think that the eleventh prince, Yadon, has excellent personal abilities, so we can consider supporting him! As long as we dispatch the strong men in the clan to directly kill the second prince, he can obtain the entire empire and unify the entire southwest star sea according to our wishes!"
Mudegram hurriedly said, "No, my respected Lord Arrielos, my opinion is exactly the opposite of you. I think that although the second prince's ability is mediocre, it is a relatively easy-to-control candidate! So it is appropriate to support him!"
As the three guardian saints of the Tianyu Temple suddenly fell, the High Priest Erillos, who had returned to the alliance, and the High Priest Mudegram, were recommended by the new patriarch as the candidate for the alternate saints and were recognized by the Elders Council.
Erillos gently swung his slender snake tail and said in confusion:
"According to past common sense, if the ruler does not have enough ability and prestige, it will be difficult for him to suppress the situation! The second prince may be more obedient, but if he does not show his own strength and strength, he may be able to destroy the plan of our clan in the future!"
"The 11th prince has excellent abilities and is arrogant by nature. It does not seem easy to control! However, because this prince is young and has limited connections in China, he does not have many supporters! After he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely make us well and seek enough support from our clan to consolidate his throne! What do you think?"
The patriarch pondered and said, "It sounds like this, and I also think that choosing a prince with strong abilities will make us less effort in the future! After all, there is the one from the Star Lightning Empire next to him, so we have to beware that that guy will do something that ignores the rules!"
Moreover, at this moment, Princess Qi, the direct heir of the Bojiang Empire, was also rushing to the Tianhua Star Domain, preparing to have the final showdown with Yun Haoyu!
