Chapter 321 The Crown Prince

On that day, a shocking news spread throughout the empire and the Star Sea World!

Prince Fang Yanren, the crown prince of the Shuofeng Empire, was deprived of all titles and honors by the emperor on the charge of forming cliques and making illegal plans, removed from the royal family genealogy, and sentenced to death!

When the Imperial Guards searched the palace, they found many evidences of Fang Yanren's close contact with officials of the government and the opposition, and even signs of alien civilizations intervening! His Majesty, who received the news, was furious and ordered the investigation to the end! All officials involved in the case, regardless of their status, will be suspended for investigation!

In just a few days, more than 4,000 officials, nobles, and imperial parliamentarians were involved! After a brief trial and confirmation of the facts, the dismissal of His Majesty the Emperor, the exiled, and a considerable number of officials lost their heads! A bloody storm broke out in the court again!

The heads of the six major families responded quickly and rushed to put out the fire everywhere. They finally cleared the relationship between the implicated officials and the family! However, they also paid a lot of price and even sacrificed many more important family members!

There is no way, I made the wrong bet and stood in the wrong team! It is normal to be settled by the autumn after the fall. If you can't think of a little blood, you can get rid of the trouble. How can it be that easy?

This prison lasted for more than a month before it slowly subsided! Under Fang Xuyu's deliberate control, a total of tens of thousands of officials and nobles of different levels were cleared out! They were all interrogated and investigated by the Ministry of Security of the Empire, and the third royal princess Fang Yuqing played a crucial role in it.

For a time, the court and the country were silent, and with the continuous reports of good news from southern Xinjiang, the prestige of His Majesty the Emperor had risen to a new level! In order to protect themselves, many officials and nobles had to surrender to His Majesty the Emperor through various channels and tried their best to show their kindness to Fang Yuqing, so as not to burn the fire on themselves!

Some officials even saw His Majesty’s valuation of the princess, and in order to show their loyalty, they even proposed to make the princess the crown prince! Yes, in the eyes of the former ministers of the court and the country, this was a whimful idea. After all, the bloodline of this princess is impure! How can the imperial artifact fall into the hands of the alien race?

But now, most of the stubborn officials have been cleaned up by the emperor, and some of the remaining people can no longer cause any major storms! In addition, many officials have no longer cared about this in order to protect themselves! This proposal was secretly exposed by those who are interested and received support from a large number of officials!

At the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor still did not make any statement, but there were no unfriendly actions.

At this moment, a prince from the Gnaslok Empire came to visit. Fang Xuyu ordered Fang Yuqing to preside over the entire welcome ceremony on his behalf and led the agreement on many cooperation matters on political and economic aspects!

Now, the officials with a little wink saw the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor! So, the call for the crown princess Fang Yuqing suddenly rose!

"How long have we left? There has been such a big stir in China?"

The former Federation Hook Star Domain, the Imperial Legion, which has advanced here, has established its own temporary base on the capital planet.

In the office, Yun Haoyu looked through some secret information specially selected and said with some emotion: "If this Fang Yanren understood the truth a little, he would not have ended up in such a miserable end! However, His Majesty the Emperor was indeed cruel and decisive! He killed his own flesh and blood as soon as he said he could! It turns out that the imperial family has no affection!"

Yang Wentao said: "Now there are calls for the establishment of a crown prince in the court and the government, and even the important officials of the cabinet who had never made any statement before have written a letter. What should we do? Should we also increase our efforts?"

"Of course!" Yun Haoyu smiled, "His Majesty the Emperor has already hinted us that tomorrow, we senior generals with heavy troops will jointly write a letter, please make His Highness the Third Princess the crown princess!"

Yang Wentao nodded: "With the support of important officials in the court, and with the words of us generals who are on the front line for the empire to expand their territory, this matter is almost certain! Even if there are still some opposition voices in the royal family, they cannot control the overall situation!"

"But!" he suddenly said, "Once Your Highness succeeds in taking office, your status will be different immediately! He used to be just an ordinary princess, but now he is the future candidate for the princess! Will there be any trouble coming to you?"

Yun Haoyu disagreed: "What trouble can you have? Even if there is, am I afraid? Besides, what is the meaning of this identity to me now? Don't forget our original decision!"

Yang Wentao sighed relieved when he heard this: "Since you have made a decision, lord, we have nothing to worry about! I don't know when will we leave?"

Now the empire's army is advancing rapidly, and the federal legions are retreating step by step, and hundreds of star domains have been lost.

Such heavy losses naturally brought great trouble to the federal top leaders. This government has resigned in disgrace. The newly-entered government sent special envoys to the capital of the empire to discuss the truce. At the same time, it also sought foreign aid everywhere to avoid the failure of the peace talks and the countries took advantage of the situation to rob!

And these great generals, His Majesty the Emperor, have fulfilled their previous promises and set a large number of planets out of the newly captured territory to reward them as hereditary fiefs!

Yun Haoyu received the most rewards, and a whole star field has become his private territory! Within hundreds of light years, there are more than 20 planets suitable for human habitation, with a population of more than 3 billion, and there are as many as tens of thousands of planets of various types! In the past, even a first-class duke who was born in the royal family could not have such a vast private territory!

Zhong Mingrui has conducted a detailed evaluation of the data of this star field and determined that as long as it is developed properly, the production of this star field is enough to support a fleet of about 100,000! It has self-evident benefits for the initial development!

"I have a batch of warships in my hand now!" Yun Haoyu said again, "It was given to me by those old guys from the Yun family! Now I am a marquis. According to the relevant laws of the empire, I can own no more than 80,000 warships as private fleets! Well, now it can be formed! Let you serve as the fleet commander!"

"Yes! Then thank you lord!" Yang Wentao responded happily.

He was born into a family of generals and was originally trained as a fleet commander. However, the federal country was destroyed later. His past experience made him almost hopeless to command the fleet for the rest of his life. Now Yun Haoyu gave him this opportunity again, how could he be unhappy?

"Don't thank me!" Yun Haoyu smiled, "If you have two marshals holding sticks as your teachers, it is difficult to find a few of them if you look at the entire star sea! I know that your talent is not inferior to Tian Xuanhao, Wei Dongyang and the others! Do it well and don't let me down!"

Three days later, news came from the imperial capital that His Majesty the Emperor finally responded to the request of his ministers, followed the general trend, and announced the establishment of the third princess of the royal family, Fang Yuqing, as the crown prince of the empire! Since the date of his enthronement, he has entered the court to assist in national affairs and conduct military confidentiality!

At this point, many forces at home and abroad understood the emperor’s true intention, and this crown prince was the candidate he truly wanted!
