Star Sea Hunter

In the study room, the three former classmates and now important ministers of the empire sat silently, the atmosphere was dull and oppressive.

Jin Yue's face was gloomy, and he pursed his lips tightly without saying a word. Bernard squinted his eyes slightly, and leaned lazily on the sofa. He didn't make a sound for a long time, as if his mind was wandering.

Randall sipped his coffee calmly, smiling and waiting patiently.

"In more than a week, His Majesty's camp will return to the imperial capital!" After a long silence, Jin Yue finally spoke.

"Yes!" Randall nodded, "This is a fact that everyone knows, and no one can stop it! Unless all five Death Starships in Base Zero are dispatched, and all the troops stationed in the Imperial Capital are mobilized Only the imperial guards can suppress Yang Wentao!"

Bernard sneered: "But even if he can be suppressed, it is impossible to eliminate him. With his ability, if he insists on leaving, no one can stop him!"

"However, as long as His Majesty's camp can't return to the Imperial Capital, it won't be long before a second emperor appears in the Imperial Capital," Randall said with a slight smile, "In this way, in terms of momentum, it can at least form an equal share with His Majesty, and with As time goes by, the situation will gradually develop in a direction that favors the new lord of the imperial capital! If His Majesty can't get out of trouble for a long time!"

"What if His Majesty can get out of trouble in time?" Jin Yue snorted coldly.

Randall shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands:

"Then, Your Majesty is still the legitimacy of the empire! The new lord will be identified as a usurper, and the entire family will be ruthlessly wiped out, including his party members! However, given that the power in his hands is still strong enough , so if His Majesty wants to get back everything that belongs to him, he has to have a good fight with this traitor!"

"But the final result will not change in any way!" Bernard emphasized.

"Maybe! But haven't you thought about it? Even if he loses, with his strength, he can escape to the sea of ​​stars, find another place to separate himself, recuperate, and make a comeback when the time is right!" Randall said calmly .

"The current empire has just gone through a great war, and its strength has already suffered a lot. Coupled with this civil strife in the future, the vitality of the empire will be depleted to an unbearable level, and it will take a long time to recover. During this period In that time, many things can happen!"

Jin Yue said nonchalantly: "What if this traitor is killed? Can his buddies still succeed?"

"Even if he dies, a new leader will be elected within that group!" Randall said indifferently, "Nothing will change!"

"Moreover, the situation you mentioned is based on the premise that His Majesty can get out of trouble in time, so it may become a reality! If Your Majesty has been trapped in that magic coffin and cannot get out, you only need to drag it for three or more days. In five months, the general trend of the imperial capital will be irreversible!"

"Once the new lord takes power, relying on many supporters, as long as there is enough time, he can fully consolidate his position and pull over all the neutral factions that stay out of the way! Even those hostile factions and forces loyal to His Majesty, A large part of them will choose to be loyal to the new owner."

"Don't think that all this is impossible! In the face of power and interests, any family and anyone is extremely realistic! Perhaps before that, they had different choices and different objects of allegiance, but the prerequisites for all these to be established are all It is this choice that can fully guarantee their own interests! If this cannot be established, then they will quickly change their positions and make a new choice that is most in line with reality!"

After a pause, he looked at the faces of the two students, and said in a more serious tone: "In the current imperial capital, the forces loyal to His Majesty still have the upper hand on the bright side, and there are still many people waiting to see, but as time goes by, this The speed at which the critics change their positions is definitely the fastest!"

"They chose to be loyal to His Majesty because His Majesty was able to give them enough benefits in the past. But when they found that His Majesty could no longer do this, they would abandon His Majesty without hesitation and go to serve their new master! This has nothing to do with right or wrong, everything is for profit!"

After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the sofa in his spare time, closed his eyes and meditated, and the study room fell silent again.

Bernard let out a long breath, stared at the classical crystal chandelier on the ceiling for a while, and then said slowly:

"You have already planned all of this, right? Now I just want to ask you, Your Excellency Randall, does His Majesty the Emperor feel sorry for you?"

"No!" Randall said frankly.

"Then is there anything wrong with the empire?" Bernard asked again.

"No!" His answer was still calm.

Jin Yue slowly clenched his fists: "Then you admit that you are an ungrateful white-eyed wolf?"

"White-eyed wolf?" He whispered the word several times, mocking himself:

"Do you all think so? It's no wonder that you and Yun Haoyu have the deepest friendship. Likes gather together and people are divided into groups. He has the kind of temperament that values ​​righteousness over profit. I think you are not much different!"

Having said that, he finally became serious, and said in a deep voice: "That's fine, I'll give you a detailed explanation of my reasons for doing this!"

"All ears!" Jin Yue sneered.

"Yun Haoyu took our classmates away from Prison Soul Xinghai. Over the years, he fought and fought all the way, and finally earned the foundation of today's Nuo University. During the period, many sacrificed on the battlefield. It can be said that he can have today's Achievements, our group contributes the most, you can't deny that, right?" Randall asked solemnly.

Bernard nodded: "Of course, I don't deny this! The alumni from Luhua Academy are His Majesty's core team. As long as they can survive, they can now hold good positions in the empire's power system! And The various preferential treatments His Majesty has given to our group are unmatched by any other force in the imperial capital, including the Queen's family!"

"That's right, I also admit this!" Randall said, "But have you ever thought about it? We are all from the grassroots class, and we had no intersection with those wealthy families in the imperial capital. His Majesty favors us so much. Giving so much power to our group has caused dissatisfaction with almost all forces!"

"In the past, His Majesty was here, and they didn't dare to say anything. Now that something happened to His Majesty, the emperor will inevitably change to a new owner in the future. No matter who is in charge of the artifact, he will not be able to continue to treat our group as generously as His Majesty did! "

"Because of various considerations, we, the direct descendants of the old master, will inevitably become his primary targets! Being deprived of power is only the first step, and the next step may be ransacking, exile, or even extermination! Don't think this is impossible, in the The highest power change completed in this abnormal state will inevitably bring about a large-scale cleansing of the old master's forces! Only in this way can we ensure the consolidation of the new master's position!"

"For this empire, how much effort has our group put in? Now we are going to be victims of power struggles, and we can't even save our own families! Don't you have the heart to watch all this come true? I don't want to see the old The classmate died under the butcher knife of those nobles, so I decided to take on this burden!"

"In any case, the position of the Luhua School faction in the court cannot be shaken, and our interests cannot be violated! His Majesty is gone, we have to re-elect someone to guarantee the interests of our group! Instead of entrusting our own fate to To those stupid, arrogant, arrogant and shameless noble families!"

Jin Yue's face turned pale, and he swallowed back the fierce accusation that was about to be blurted out.Even Bernard fell silent.

Although this guy's actions made them despise, but his point of view cannot be said to be completely unreasonable!In today's court, there are indeed quite a few members from Luhua Academy!And he has always been treated differently by His Majesty, and the ones who are the worst are all the officials of the frontier, not to mention the core decision-makers like them!

Of the 21 most important powerful departments in the Imperial Cabinet today, one-third are controlled by His Majesty's former classmates and alumni, and there are also many people in high positions in those less important departments.And in the Imperial Legion, the fleet directly and indirectly controlled by this group also occupies a considerable proportion!

This situation has made other forces in the imperial capital criticize. Many old-fashioned veterans believe that it is absolutely unacceptable for such a group of poor people without aristocratic cultivation to control so many power resources in the empire!It's just that I dare not openly object because of the majesty of His Majesty.

If His Majesty really falls, no matter who is on the throne of supreme power, it is impossible for such a group to continue to hold so much power. Cleaning up is the inevitable result!At that time, they will be the first to bear the brunt!

"What do you think?" Randall looked at their expressions and smiled gently:

"Instead of waiting for the future rulers to ransack their families one by one, why not unite and deal with them while we still have the power to fight back! With the power we have now, such a plan is completely feasible!"

"As long as I can sit in that position in the future, not only will the interests of the Luhua School faction not be affected in any way, but it will be further strengthened! You will gain a higher status and more power! This empire will always be under the control of In our hands, our names will also be recorded in the annals of history, and will be extolled forever!"

"The Star Sea world will be unified in my hands, and then I will lead the imperial army to expand the territory and achieve unprecedented grand plans and great achievements! I will help your Majesty realize his unfinished dreams one by one!"

"As long as you are willing to help me, all this will soon become a reality, how about it? Come and do it with me!" He said with great enthusiasm.
