Chapter 68(1/2)
At the coronation ceremony of the new emperor, Su Yu, the son of Su Ge Lao, the leader of the cabinet faction, assassinated the new emperor in public, angering the new emperor. Su Ge Lao had no choice but to hand over the power, resigned from his post and retired, and lived his life in exchange for pardoning Su Yu's death penalty.
Death crime can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. After Su Yu was released from prison, he asked to join the army and redeem his sins for his merits. His Majesty agreed.
At the same time, most families in the imperial capital have undergone major changes, and the upper and lower forces have been cleansed, and they are silently loyal to the new emperor.
Lin Shen became a new prime minister in the cabinet and only obeyed Yan Weiliang.
The marshal killed the former emperor, and the same crime was unforgivable. He was also exempted from death because of his outstanding military achievements before, but he was deprived of real power and took back the general's order. The imperial capital's order to defend the city was handed over to the newly promoted general Serbia, and the general's order was personally taken over by His Majesty.
The military forces in the past were silent and there was no objection to this.
The family that originally supported the third prince bet on victory was even more happy and celebrated together.
In just a few months, Yan Weiliang joined forces with Chu Yuwen to clean up the prince and the emperor, and plotted against Su Yu to force the cabinet to delegate power, so that his subordinates who had been conquered in the past would revenge to calm the hatred of the mermaid clan and unify the originally three-legged empire with thunder.
In addition, there is a secret line from the Ji family, which serves Yan Weiliang as a trump card, and has never been put on the open.
It sounds easy, but it is dangerous. Yan Weiliang has been planning to make every step of the way to make it today. However, one thing is certain that if Chu Yuwen had not been on his side, things would not have gone so smoothly.
In the final analysis, Chu Yuwen is his biggest obstacle. Now that this obstacle has become his help, how can he not be invincible?
Although the empire is still in a mess, the overall situation has been decided. As long as you rest well for more than ten years, you will surely prosper.
But what the empire lacks the most now is time.
Yan Weiliang's actions were already very fast. At least before the Federation reacted, he calmed down the turbulent situation within the empire and no longer had to worry about the situation sweeping over internal and external troubles.
After Yan Weiliang solved the cabinet and took back the general's order, the Federation finally took action.
Or, the Federation is waiting for this moment.
With such great turmoil in the empire, it is impossible for the Federation to know nothing.
The reason why we did not attack at the most chaotic time is because the federal government is also very divided.
The Federation is an interstellar alliance composed of non-human creatures from various galaxies. Blue Star humans call them aliens, and before they were called aliens.
But the range of aliens is very large, and aliens are also divided into various types.
Some planets have advanced technological developments than Blue Star, while others are still in backward primitive eras and do not even know the existence of alien life.
In the planets with advanced technology, those alien lives do not have the appearance of humans, but have wisdom that is not inferior to humans, and some have the ambition to unify the universe.
Hundreds of years ago, human beings were almost destroyed due to the doomsday disaster. Fortunately, abo gender differentiation allowed the human fire to continue. However, the Blue Star resources were almost exhausted, and in order to survive, we must find spare resources for alien resources.
But there are also indigenous people on alien planets, how can they give up their resources?
Only war.
The Yan family made the empire powerful and prosperous. They drove mechas to conquer planets, and even went to distant galaxies billions of light years away, turning them into colonies.
Neptune, where the mermaid tribe is located, is just one of the small planets conquered by the empire.
For the empire, it is a glorious history, and for those planets and the indigenous peoples, it is a disaster of destruction.
Conquest and unity are always accompanied by blood.
Humans are too powerful. Many weak alien races are trembling, fearing that one day the war will spread to their hometowns. As for the alien planets with advanced technology and strong strength, the aliens inside do not have the powerful power to unite humans and are also destroyed under the Imperial Cavalry.
After learning a lot of painful lessons, an alien leader with a highly developed civilization finally realized that humans are so powerful and invincible because they can unite.
So, the Interstellar Federation was established.
At that time, the empire had colonized many planets, and many of them were displaced and became star pirates. The Federation established a headquarters on Zixing and hosted some refugees. Many of these refugees hated Blue Star and hated the empire, and always wanted to overthrow humanity.
The Mermaids are the latest race to join the Federation and registered.
In fact, there is nothing to do with the right or wrong of the empire and the federation, only with different positions. If the empire did not launch a war, all mankind would have died. After the war, it would be understandable that those alien refugees who lost their homes hated humanity.
From the perspective of human beings, Yan Weiliang is not qualified to sympathize with alien refugees and blame his ancestors.
But he...is not all human.
In any case, Yan Weiliang is now the emperor of the empire.
The mermaid tribe has been avenged, and all the people on the list given by the Ji family have been assassinated by him.
He would never allow the Federation to trample on the land of the empire.
This is where he has been growing and guarding.
The federation was established for two hundred years, and some aliens had short lifespans, and their descendants had changed for several generations, so their hatred towards humanity was not as strong as that of their ancestors.
Some of them have long lifespans, but they are the ones who witnessed the war back then, so hatred is naturally increasing day by day.
As time goes by, the Federation gradually split into two groups, the pro-war faction and the pro-peace faction.
The main war faction always wants to attack the Blue Star and annex the empire. The main war faction feels that life is safe now and there is no need to provoke powerful humans anymore.
The two major factions also account for half of the federal high-level officials, regardless of the top and bottom.
Although the mermaids are rare in number, they have strong mental power, high combat power, and beautiful appearance, which is very popular in the Federation.
The great wizard of the Mermaid Clan has become one of the federal members and has the right to senate.
The mermaids are gentle by nature and love peace. They should be the supporter of the peace faction. However, their blood-sea feud is too close and not so easy to eliminate. They are now unswerving pro-war faction.
The current federal leader Wagge is a radical fighting fanatic.
If he hadn't had a little brain, he would have wanted to play Blue Star immediately.
When the empire was in turmoil before, Wag wanted to take advantage of the situation. At that time, Yan Weiliang was still stabilizing the situation in the imperial capital, and at the same time, let the Ji family convey the message to Zixing through Brandt, allowing the great wizard of the fish clan to delay for a moment.
Wag wanted to fight, but the Lord and the Warring faction had a big quarrel. At this time, the great wizard, who was originally in the Warring faction, said to Wag: "Your Excellency, you can't do it at this time."
Wag didn't want to hear the words of the Lord's Sect, but the mermaids' hatred for humanity can definitely be among the top three in the Federation. The great wizard of the mermaids said this, Wag had to ask the reason.
The great wizard has always been a wise man in the parliament. He fooled Wag in a few words and won a chance to breathe for Yan Weiliang.
Compared with the federal leader, the great wizard of the mermaid clan is of course the king who is more loyal to his clan.
So in the past few months, Yan Weiliang has quelled civil strife, and the Federation has not taken action. Now Wag can no longer wait. In his opinion, Yan Weiliang deprived Chu Yuwen of his power. Without this imperial marshal, wouldn’t it be easy for him to attack at this moment?
Even if the new emperor of the empire sent Chu Yuwen to fight temporarily, can Chu Yuwen, who has encountered all kinds of unfair treatment, still serve the empire wholeheartedly?
Human beings are the most selfish.
Especially at this moment, news came from the empire that the emperor was assassinated and injured again, recuperated in the palace, and the government affairs were temporarily handed over to his confidant Lin Shen for care.
An emperor, especially a new emperor, is not worthy of being called an emperor without encountering dozens of killers.
When the news reached the Federation, Wag was overjoyed. At this moment, the great wizard of the think tank Mermaid clan also said: "It's time." He immediately ordered his troops and led a federal army, which was powerful and aggressive, and rushed towards the empire.
And at this moment.
A spaceship stayed in a remote place in Zixing.
The young man put down his hood on his head, his flowing silver hair was slightly blown up by the wind, his face was as bright as the moon, and the fish fins on his ears were almost transparent. The tears moles at the tail of his eyes, water drops between his eyebrows, and silver scales at his forehead were so beautiful that they were not as beautiful as ordinary people.
It was the palace who was "assassinated and recovered from his injuries".
Brandt, a half-mermaid, got off the spaceship and stepped onto the familiar land: "King, we're here."
Yan Weiliang looked at the strange planet, quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "Yes."
The Empire and the Federation are forever opposite each other.
If the Federation wants to eradicate the empire, how can the empire tolerate the hidden danger of the Federation?
He deliberately pretended to break up with Chu Yuwen, and let someone spread the news of his injury, just to convey the wrong message to Wagge and let Wagge take action with the intention of underestimating the enemy.
The two planets were so far away that even if they realized the message was wrong, Wag would not have time to deal with it.
Wag thought that the empire had just encountered a coup and must have been caught off guard. However, he did not expect that Yan Weiliang had considered his variable from the beginning and calculated him together.
When the federal army landed in the empire, what was waiting for them would be surrounded by Chu Yuwen.
Yan Weiliang had just collected the general order from Chu Yuwen in the morning and returned it to him in the evening.
Not to mention Serbia assisted from the side.
And Su Yu... made meritorious service after being guilty.
And because: Your Majesty, who cannot meet others when he is "assassinated", will certainly not be idle in the palace.
When the federal army descended above Blue Star, Yan Weiliang took the Ji family back to Zixing to meet with the Mermaid Clan headquarters, received the blessing of the great wizard, and was officially crowned the king of the Mermaid Clan.
The king will take them back to the sea.
Take them home.
Yan Weiliang has become the emperor of the empire, and of course he has the power to abolish Neptune's colonial army. In fact, after the mermaid tribe almost destroyed, Neptune became a deserted star, and the so-called colonial army was more like exiled scattered soldiers.
Only the vitality of the mermaid tribe can reinject this planet into vitality.
But before that, there is another thing to do.
Wag led the federal army to Lanxing and was encircled by Chu Yuwen. Yan Weiliang could not take advantage of the federal army's lack of defense and defeated the federal lair in one fell swoop?
Most of the federal residents hate humans and will inevitably attack them when they see humans. Therefore, Yan Weiliang is now in a state of half-marmoset transformation. Except for his legs that did not turn into fish tails for easy walking, the rest have become mermoset shapes.
This is true for all the mermaids.
Brandt was born and raised on Purple Star, and it was his turn to guide them now.
