Louis XIII reprimanded in a deep voice: "Matt, as a prince, you have to bear the weight of the mountain without collapsing, how can you be so impetuous!"
The Seventh Prince quickly admitted his mistake. He had just heard that the Empire's most elite 3rd and 9th Guards Fleets suddenly rushed to the Tyrannosaurus Galaxy, and he lost his composure for a moment.
The empire has 10 guard fleets. They are the pinnacle representatives of the empire's military power. Both the quality of the warships and the quality of the soldiers far exceed other fleets.
On weekdays, these fleets of guards are stationed in the star field around Trantor to protect the safety of the imperial capital and never stay away easily.
Now, two large convoy fleets suddenly appeared in the Tyrannosaurus Galaxy on the edge of the empire. The conflict between the empire and the Fuluo Federation has intensified. It is only natural that the seventh prince is worried about the outbreak of war between the two countries.
In fact, in his heart, the seventh prince did not want to fight with the Fourot Federation now. He saw the brittle face of Louis XIII that had lost its luster, and understood that his father was in danger of dying at any time.
If the empire is at war at this time and the crown prince is not located, there will definitely be chaos, which will not be beneficial to his desire to take over the throne of emperor.
Louis XIII is the emperor of the empire. He knows the secrets of the empire far better than anyone else. After understanding that Operation Shadow wants to spy on the defense base between the Nevada system and the Montfort system of the Foulault Federation, from a military perspective, it must be for The fleet was preparing for the attack, and then asked Fia about military mobilization.
Seeing the obedient appearance of the Seventh Prince, Louis XIII softened his tone: "If Operation Shadow succeeds, they may launch a raid on the Fulo Federation. Now Miss Fia has also said that Operation Shadow will fail due to lack of time. They haven’t been able to decipher the coordinates of the opponent’s defense base at all, so they probably won’t take any military adventure!”
The seventh prince breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Louis XIII's explanation. After years of hard work, he finally won the trust and recognition of Louis XIII, and he had great hope of becoming Louis XIV, but he did not want to fall short due to an accident at the last moment.
So he suggested: "Father, the situation in the empire is not calm now. I suggest that my father personally order the recall of the 3rd and 9th Guards Fleet to protect the safety of the capital area! There is a direct conflict between our empire and the Fulo Federation. , has lasted for countless years, and no one can destroy the other. There is no need to waste people and money in a big fight! Moreover, the Universal Intelligent Life Federation does not allow member states to attack each other for no reason!"
What was unexpected was that after hearing the seventh prince's words, Louis XIII snorted heavily, his weak body leaned hard on the back of the throne, and his breath became a little heavier.
Hugo, the attendant on the left, quickly picked up a cup of tea filled with the aroma of medicine, brought it to Louis XIII's mouth and asked him to drink it. At the same time, he gently stroked the other person's chest with his hand to help calm his breathing.
The seventh prince didn't understand why Louis XIII was unhappy, and felt that he had said the right thing! However, at this moment, it was discovered that Louis XIII's health was indeed failing, and his mood became a little unsatisfactory after a slight fluctuation.
A few minutes after arriving, Louis XIII recovered and looked at the Seventh Prince with complicated eyes for a while. He did not respond directly to the Seventh Prince's request to recall the 3rd and 9th Guards Fleets. Obviously, he didn't want to talk too much about the Guards Fleet. .
The seventh prince behaved with a low eyebrow and an expression of concern for Louis XIII on his face, but he was thinking about other things in his heart: "It seems that my father is about to die soon, but the position of crown prince has not been settled yet. I don't know what my father's heart is." Who do you like, me? Or the third or fifth child? The most puzzling thing is that Duke Pat and Earl Donald have retired, but they still declare that they will not support any of our princes as crown princes! It seems that I still have to spend time and I will try my best to establish a good relationship with Pat-Donald's group. If they support me, I won't worry about not being able to sit on the throne of the emperor!...Haha, I will definitely piss off the two idiots No. 3 and No. 5 by then... !」
While the seventh prince was daydreaming, Louis XIII interrupted his fantasy and said: "Matt, take a look at this." As he spoke, he handed over the " The memorial "Inviting His Majesty the Emperor to arrange a banquet with the three princes" was pushed in front of the seventh prince.
The seventh prince looked through the contents and became angry. Alex Rivion is one of the core members of the Pat Donald family, and the meaning expressed in his memorial must also be that of Pat Donald.
-Donald's idea. Now Louis XIII is like a weak candle in the cold wind, in danger of being extinguished at any time, and Pat-Donald's group actually wants to drive all their princes out of the power center of Trantor. Pat--What do Donald's group want? What the hell was your idea? Is it possible to plot to usurp the throne?
Various thoughts flashed and disappeared in the seventh prince's mind. For a while, he couldn't figure out what the Pat-Donald group was planning. But there is one thing that the Seventh Prince knows very well, that is, he is determined not to leave Trantor!
Louis XIII's mood was completely different from that of the Seventh Prince. He had two purposes for showing this memorial to the Seventh Prince.
First: I want to see if the seventh prince has the same ambition to rebel as the eldest prince.
When the Seventh Prince was reading the memorial, Louis XIII kept his eyes on the Seventh Prince, trying to detect clues of disloyalty from the Seventh Prince's demeanor and body movements.
In the end, the seventh prince's performance satisfied Louis XIII. He did not show the ecstasy or happiness of being able to conquer the vassal planet throughout the whole process, but was filled with annoyance and confusion. This means that the Seventh Prince has never thought of leaving Trantor and going to the fiefdom planet to start a rebellion!
Second: Instigate conflicts between the princes and Pat-Donald's faction so that the two parties cannot come together. Through the power of the prince's family, the Pat Donald faction was restrained, and they took the opportunity to regain control of part of the Guards Fleet from the Pat Donald faction.
Since Louis XIII registered the 10 largest fleets of the Empire, they have always been firmly controlled by the Pat Donald faction. It's just that this fact is very secret and few outsiders know about it.
Last time Louis XIII used the power of Kemal's faction to suddenly appoint Liu Qi as the commander of the 8th Guards Fleet on the grounds that Liu Qi, who was born in the Panhua ethnic group, killed Liu Qi, and captured a guard in one fell swoop. The control of the fleet can be described as a stroke of genius in the power struggle.
Because Louis XIII had ignored government affairs for many years, the Pat Donald faction ignored his existence. Louis XIII quietly observed behind the scenes and found that the conflict between the Kabas and Panhua tribes in the empire had intensified significantly.
Pat-Donald's group was indifferent to this reality. At this time, Louis XIII noticed that Kemal had an outstanding officer named Liu Qi who was from the Panhua ethnic group. It happened that this officer killed another suspected terrorist.
So Louis XIII took action boldly, breaking tradition and directly appointing Liu Qi as the commander of the 8th Guards Fleet, and ordered the imperial press department to publicize the report.
This incident greatly encouraged the Panhua people who were in high positions within the imperial government. They were very grateful to Louis XIII who had not shown up for many years. They felt that Louis XIII gave their family hope to break through the career ceiling in the Kabasi Empire. .
It’s no wonder that the Panhua clan members think so, because the 10 Guards Fleet is the top combat force of the Imperial Navy. It turns out that other clansmen are never allowed to serve as commanders, and their commanders usually Serving as Minister of Defense or Minister of Staff for one term, it can be said that Liu Qi will definitely become one of the most powerful people in the empire in the future.
Louis XIII's saucy maneuvers won the favor of the Panhua people in the empire and slightly eased the conflict between the Kaba and Panhua people. Many Panhua people could not help but blame the current conflict between the two clans on the ruling party. Pat--Donald's group.
Pat--Donald, who suffered a huge loss of being dumb, was of the same group, unable to express his suffering. The emperor was originally the supreme leader of the empire, and there was no legal problem in appointing Liu Qi, and he also received public support. In addition, the Kemal faction was not weak. In the end, the Pat-Donald faction could only accept being robbed of a guard fleet. fact.
However, in order to show their anger, the Pat-Donald faction investigated and punished more than a dozen golf captains of the Kemal faction within the government system to retaliate.
The seventh prince left the Saints Hall with anger towards Pat Donald's group. Louis XIII asked quietly: "Hugo, do you think Lao Qi will take revenge on those two old guys?"
Hugo pondered for a moment: "Based on the knowledge of my subordinates, the Seventh Prince has acted cautiously and calmly for many years. If he wants to take revenge on Pat-Donald, the group will also be very restrained and will not take any drastic and excessive actions!"
Louis XIII nodded, which is why he recognized the seventh prince more and more. You turned your head and ordered: "Hugo, you
Go and deliver the message to Lao San and Lao Wu, asking them to come to the Saints Hall to see me! "
After Hugo also left the Hall of Saints, the holographic figure of Fea, the central optical brain, also disappeared, leaving only the old Louis XIII sitting on the large throne and muttering to himself: "Hey, two people who don't know whether to live or die. You old stubborns, are you in a hurry, and you actually want to start a war?"
Fuluo Federation--Deno Star--St. John's City--Cattington Building.
Yi Chen woke up from his sleep. In a daze, he couldn't help but stretch his limbs as much as possible, lying on the soft bed in a big shape.
This sleep is so comfortable, I wish I could sleep forever without having to get up!
Yi Chen turned over and lay on his side while thinking, a little forgetting where he was.
When he came to the alien world, it was either training or fighting. Yi Chen was highly nervous and couldn't sleep well.
During the time when he came to Fulo Federation to carry out the Shadow Operation, his psychology reached its limit and there was a risk of collapse at any time.
Now that the mission is finally over, the pressure in my heart suddenly disappears, and my sleep last night was unexpectedly deep and sweet.
The moment he woke up in the morning, there was a brief blank in Yi Chen's mind, and he didn't know where he was.
Slowly opening my eyes, all I could see was the sea of white clouds. At the end of the sea of clouds, something suddenly seemed to be rising from below.
The white clouds are like peaks and mountains, and golden light penetrates the clouds and fog, shining directly into the nine heavens. The cloud peaks are all inlaid with a layer of golden bright edges, shining like rare treasures.
Immediately, a fireball jumped out of the clouds, soared into the sky, and sprayed out thousands of rays of light, causing the sea of clouds to change into thousands of colorful scenes in an instant, which was breathtaking!
Yi Chen was attracted by this shocking scene and jumped up from the bed. At the same time, he also remembered that he was in Heidi's castle in the sky.
