Imperial calendar 11543.
The Woolf emperor has been in power for 278 years and has many descendants. Among them, the best and most popular are the two eldest sons, namely the eldest prince and the second prince.
The great prince has a mild temperament and excellent reputation among the people. There are also a large number of supporters among the major nobles, and he is most loved by the emperor. He is the undisputed first heir to the throne.
The Messiah and red dragon were members of the pro army Knights around the great prince at that time.
In contrast, although the second prince is also brilliant and has shown extraordinary political and military talents since childhood, his voice is weaker than that of the big prince.
It is also rumored that his majesty intends to officially canonize the great prince as a crown prince.
At this time, the star of an important Galaxy suddenly burst into catastrophic helium flash. The Grand Prince who happened to be patrolling nearby was naturally appointed by the emperor to appease the refugees and preside over the disaster relief work.
In order to catch up with the past galaxy as soon as possible, the Grand Prince only took his own personal guards and followed them lightly.
Their route is absolutely confidential, but on the way to the affected galaxy, the Grand Prince and his party were suddenly attacked by unidentified armed forces.
Although the pro guards fought hard, they were outnumbered. Finally, the prince's ship was sunk. There was a big explosion in the battle, and no one on board escaped.
Finally, only Chilong and Messiah escaped the siege by virtue of the legendary captain armor. They wandered in the universe for a whole month by virtue of the severely damaged armor. When they were about to despair, they were lucky to be saved by a passing merchant ship.
They immediately prepared to find out the real murderer, but at this time they learned that the great prince had been declared "sick and dead". Obviously, the imperial royal family had decided to cover up the truth that the great prince had been attacked and killed.
At that time, they didn't think much and thought that this was the choice of the royal family to cover up the news in order to avoid imperial unrest.
However, they contacted the royal family through secret channels. Instead of waiting for Royal reinforcements, they waited for a group of pursuers, and the forces behind the pursuers... Vaguely pointed to the Grand Duke of Horton!
The Great Duke of Horton, one of the five Dukes of the Empire, is also... The grandfather of the second prince!
Knowing that they had been involved in the struggle for the throne, they began their own escape again. They almost narrowly escaped layers of pursuit, and finally wandered to the broken Star area to become bandits.
They knew that they were not the opponents of the second prince's forces. They could only hide their names and deal with their appearance. In order to avoid obvious characteristics, they decided to develop separately and reduce the possibility of exposure.
Facts have proved that gold can shine everywhere. The two who were originally imperial elites soon laid a foundation in the broken star field.
On the surface, they are hostile to each other, but in fact, they secretly communicate with each other. Under the secret mutual support, they develop step by step and finally become one of the seven pirates.
Of course, being a pirate leader is not their ultimate goal. They have been waiting for the opportunity to reveal the truth.
However, the second prince's momentum became stronger and stronger, and his foundation became stronger and stronger. His tentacles even extended to the nearby star regions, which made them more and more desperate, and even once stopped thinking of revenge for the great prince.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop. Heifan's "dragon killing plan" forced the Messiah to expose his relationship with the red dragon, and finally attracted the attention of the second prince and a series of people
……
"Poof!" spit out the melon seed shell in his mouth, and Nie Yun was surprised. "Do you mean that all the great princes of the Empire have been done, and everyone will regard him as sick and dead. That's the end of it?"
In my opinion, this is illogical!
Even in order to cover up the scandal of fighting in the same room, it was announced that the prince was "sick and dead", but it was settled after autumn. After that, it was a bloody purge, and then demoted the prince involved to ordinary people and life imprisonment. Is this the normal operation?
Even if we can't find out the real culprit behind the attack, the two princes will never be able to eat well with the principle of "those with the greatest interests are the most suspected".
But people are now more and more moist. They look strange.
"Uh huh!" the code behind him nodded again and again, indicating that it did not conform to the conventional routine of "Kowloon seizing the line".
"Alas! Maybe... It's because of the Great Duke Horton..." the Messiah said helplessly.
"The Grand Duke of Horton is the most powerful of the five dukes. He not only has a large number of noble private soldiers, but also has great influence in the military.
Don't say there is no evidence. Even if there is evidence, I'm afraid it's not easy to convict him.
Now the political situation of the empire is unstable, which annoys the other party and is likely to cause further division of the Empire. "
This is also the most likely guess in their post analysis. The Imperial Emperor did not know the truth, but threw a rat's deterrent.
i see!
Nie Yun nodded. Why can brother Wuji be the leader of Mingjiao?
Martial arts? Record? Whoever learns the great movement of heaven and earth will be the leader? Superficial!
People who have mixed with social animals understand that the most important reason is not anything else... It is because the other party has a good grandfather!
"The eldest prince and the second prince are your Majesty's best descendants. Now the eldest prince is gone. If you deal with the second prince again, the royal family will really have no successors.
Now think about it, even if we really met your majesty, he might choose to execute US secretly to prevent the news from leaking... "Chilong also smiled bitterly.
Um! Blind student, you found Huadian!
So it seems that the second prince's biggest worry is not that the news reaches the emperor's ears, but that they should be obtained by other princes as a tool to attack him.
After all, the emperor did not dare to burst the material, and other competitors for the throne did not have such concerns.
It is estimated that they are eager for the second prince to break up with the emperor completely, so that they can fish in troubled waters.
Once the news is made public, even if he is no longer willing, the emperor must express something.
However, in the final analysis, this is a tear between the top executives. The Messiah and Chilong, as chess pieces of no importance, may not come to any good end no matter who holds them.
I'm afraid that's why they didn't want to poke things out at all.
If you don't poke it out, you may live. If you poke it out, you will die.
"But how to say it's also directly against the emperor. Does the Great Duke Horton dare to attack and kill the great prince for a grandson?" Nie Yun wondered.
You know, if this crime is true, it is no different from conspiracy.
In case the emperor wants to kill his son, the Duke Horton family will have to die.
This is completely gambling on the future of the second prince with the life of the whole family!
"Yes! Duke Horton could really take the risk for the second prince!"
Unexpectedly, the Messiah gave a positive answer.
"The second prince is the most beloved son of Duke Horton. There is no one!
It is said that the second prince once had a conflict with the grandson of Duke Horton when he was a child. He was almost disfigured when his head was broken. As a result, there was no news from the outside world after that. "
"Hiss ~" Nie Yun and code Qi took a breath.
Evaporated his own grandson for his grandson?!
He finally understood why the emperor dared not challenge the second prince.
This is more than doting. It's just a change of state!
