Chapter 860

"Boom!" the earth shook and startled countless birds.

The bodyguards nearby looked at the whole huge palace hall with a stunned face and began to sink slowly.

"What's the matter? What happened?"

"Why is the main hall sinking?"

"It seems... Someone opened the emergency refuge system of the palace!"

"Emergency shelter system? How could it be! It hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Is there an intruder?"

"There is no sign of invasion at all? Is it a misoperation?"

"How is it possible that only your majesty has the authority to open the emergency refuge system of the imperial palace..."

……

There is chaos outside the main hall, and there are also waves in the main hall!

"Hum!" dozens of golden beams suddenly rose to form a golden cage, trapping Nie Yun in it.

At the same time, everyone present can obviously feel the sense of falling, and the light from the outside is rapidly darkening.

Although Nie Yun could not hear the conversation of several princes in the distance, it was obvious that he was unprepared for this sudden change from the panic of everyone.

He looked at the emperor on the throne with a look of amazement.

Nie Yun really didn't expect that the other party unexpectedly chose such an opportunity to attack suddenly.

The whole palace where I am is speeding down to the depths of the earth.

no Not just sliding!

In the process of descending, the running direction of the palace also changes with obvious angle, which is obviously turning and changing direction, and the movement track is like the graffiti of children.

There is a huge underground passage network under the emperor star!

"This is the emergency refuge system of the imperial palace. In case of irresistible foreign invasion, the whole palace will sink into the heart of the earth.

In the maze of refuge passages, there will be more than ten identical palaces running on orbit at the same time to confuse the invaders.

Therefore, unless the whole emperor star is destroyed and the real body of the palace is found, people outside can never come in and disturb the ceremony. "

The smiling emperor also introduced Nie Yun with leisure.

"The main body of the whole emperor star is composed of extremely dense lapis lazuli. Even if it is bombarded with heavy artillery, it will take a day or two to explode.

Moreover, it is isolated from all detection from the outside world, and it is unable to communicate with the outside world. "

Nie Yun: "

Obviously, something seems to have exceeded his Majesty's expectations.

But... Their palace seems to have become an island that no one can disturb?

Think of the other party's words just now

The grand ceremony of abdication to the throne!

Is this the other party's purpose?

Isolated from all interference, we closed the door to discuss how to distribute the inheritance?

At the moment, all qualified successors are here, and they are unprepared.

This... Seems to have inadvertently created a great opportunity for each other?

However, it is impossible for me to have an outsider present when my family closes the door to discuss the distribution of inheritance?

"Being able to crack the core technology of the legendary mecha, and having the strength to compete with the Empire for the heritage of higher civilization, all things come together for a while, and being qualified as the only foreign VIP of this grand ceremony.

And... "

As if he saw Nie Yun's doubts, the emperor continued.

"Moreover, some people are very interested in the forces behind you." the Imperial Emperor smiled meaningfully.

Is anyone interested in the forces behind me? Who?

Before Nie Yun asked again, a group of princes with different faces had arrived near.

"Father, what's going on? How did the emergency evacuation system start automatically?"

The ninth Prince walked to the emperor in three or two steps, showing a very different distance from everyone.

But in addition to doubt, Nie Yun clearly heard the joy and excitement in the heart of the ninth prince.

It seems... This guy knows something?

The fourth Prince and the eighth Prince looked at Nie Yun trapped in the cage, and their faces changed.

"Father, does he want to be bad for you?"

"Damn it! Who sent you?"

"The father, the son and the minister are eager to save the father. If they believe others by mistake, the son and the minister are guilty!"

No matter what doubts and thoughts these people have in mind, they instinctively get rid of the relationship with Nie Yun at the first time.

I'm kidding. People were caught by the emperor. At this time, of course, it's a dead Taoist friend, not a poor Taoist!

Nie Yun in the cage couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Good guy, these politicians turn their faces faster than books!

"Uh huh! They are all my good sons."

The emperor seemed to want to show a kind smile, but his haggard face could not achieve even a similar effect.

"It's not urgent. My life is not worth mentioning for the Empire, but before I swallow my last breath, I must fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to me by the Empire.

I can feel that my body is running out of time... "

After hearing the emperor's words, the princes jumped in their hearts and understood something vaguely.

"So today, I will hold a grand ceremony of abdication to the throne and choose a successor among you to inherit the power of the Empire!"

Even if they had guessed, when the emperor really said the words they expected in their hearts, most of the princes showed uncontrollable excitement and tension.

After decades of competition, fighting and waiting, aren't they waiting for the judgment of fate at this moment?

Among the people, only the second prince looked gloomy and said nothing.

He has seen that today's events are extraordinary.

Not to mention whether this is an assassination or not, even if it is an assassination, there is no need to open the emergency refuge system and create an island to trap everyone underground.

Let alone hold the grand ceremony of abdication to the throne under this strange situation.

He tried to contact the outside world, but all the news was lost.

And he knew in his heart that even if he was contacted, people outside could never directly attack the emperor star at the risk of universal condemnation, let alone he was still here and wanted to die together?

"Father, don't you think your decision today is too hasty and hasty?

Without a grand honor guard and the witness of all officials, such a grand ceremony of Zen surrender is too childish. Who can be convinced when you say it! "Said the second prince.

There was not even much respect in his tone.

The other princes glanced at each other, with a look of banter and ridicule.

In their eyes, the current situation is very clear. The key lies in who the emperor wants to surrender to?

Under normal circumstances, they will think that the second prince is the most likely.

Not to mention the influence of the second prince inside and outside the imperial capital, but the fleet under Archduke Horton controls the lifeline of the Empire.

As long as someone other than the second prince succeeds to the throne, it is equivalent to opening the imperial civil war!

All of them were even prepared for the emperor to announce to the whole empire at any time and give the throne to the second prince.

After all, the advantages accumulated by the second prince are too great.

Even they feel that if they stand in the position of the emperor, they must choose the second prince in the end.

However, today this strange situation, but let them see a turn for the better!

If it is a normal surrender, the emperor doesn't need to fight so much. Even the emergency refuge system on the emperor star will never be opened easily has been used.

Because even if such a result is announced, there is absolutely no resistance.

The second prince and his majesty agreed with the result, and the other princes dared not and did not have the strength to oppose it.

Anything abnormal is a demon!

In this case, why did the emperor trap the people in the depths of the earth and hold a grand ceremony of surrender? Who was he guarding against?

Isn't it obvious?

"The second brother's words are bad. He is in a hurry and has power. His father is ill. Naturally, it is impossible to follow the usual practice!"

The fourth prince was the first to stand up and support.

Although the second prince is dead, the throne does not necessarily fall on him. On the contrary, the most favored nine younger brothers have a greater chance.

But everyone has a fluke mentality.

Even if you are not yourself, it must be right to kick out the one with the greatest chance first!

"Yes, my ministers have no objection to my father's decision!" the eighth prince also came out to support me.

The emperor waved his hand and said with a smile, "come out, dusk."

The next moment, light and shadow intertwined, slowly condensed into a soft female figure wearing a long golden dress.

Nie Yun's eyes coagulated.

The woman frowned and smiled as if she were a real person, but Nie Yun saw the shadow of dawn and code from each other's eyes

It's not that the advanced artificial intelligence of Woolf Empire has been 404. What's the situation?

"Your majesty!" the light and shadow bowed to the emperor.

"This is the dusk, the master of the whole emperor star, and the witness of this surrender ceremony.

Whoever eventually becomes the successor of the Empire will get the allegiance of dusk and the control of the whole emperor star!

Do you think this is convincing enough? "

The second prince was speechless.

The Imperial Star represents the highest authority of the Empire, just like the scepter of an emperor.

Moreover, it is said that in the depths of the Imperial Star, there are also the most secret institutions of the whole empire that only the emperor can contact.

Can get its control, is undoubtedly the most orthodox successor.

No one can fake this!

The second prince's heart sank slightly and looked coldly at the emperor on the throne.

He did not expect that the emperor would trap himself here in such a way and force himself to accept the result.

Do you really want to die?

"Good! The father emperor abdicates at this time, and his son and minister have no objection.

But for the sake of the rise and fall of the Empire, please consider carefully. Don't be confused for a moment... It has ruined the future lifeline of the Empire! "
