Chapter 68 The Duke
The magnificent palace in the daytime is like a cliff in the night, hiding all kinds of undercurrents in the shadows, and at dawn, it is calm again.
General Shuanglou came back to plead guilty, saying, "I'm sorry, Rongyou, but I couldn't complete the mission."
Rong You said: "It's none of your business, General Shuanglou, you don't need to apologize for other people's mistakes."
Shuanglou then sat down to report.
Last night, he, Li Shi, Camilla and his party were stopped outside the Bailu Palace. Camilla insisted on refusing to leave, but finally alarmed His Majesty the Emperor inside.In the Bailu Palace, the Minister of Finance, Fu Qian, conveyed instructions that if the commoner Camilla dared to stay, she would be executed for trespassing.
The few people retreated all the way to the forbidden gate of the palace, and soon saw the finance minister's car driving out from inside.Inside the car, Fu Ding managed to spread the news, letting them know that Xu En was dead just after they arrived.
His Majesty the Emperor heard that someone outside Bailu Palace was waiting to see him, so he immediately knew that someone had leaked the news, immediately ended all the conversations in Bailu Palace, and ordered Xu En to be executed immediately.Xu En was still kneeling on the ground excitedly at that time, looking at the emperor with infinite longing, suddenly someone stepped forward to report, and the emperor turned his face coldly.
The guards pressed Xu En to the ground. The latter had an extremely strong desire to survive and struggled for nearly 3 minutes before dying.Until his death, he was still trying to tell all the information he knew, and wanted people to know that he was the Third Prince—as everyone knew, everyone present in Bailu Palace at that time wanted the Third Prince's death.
Bailu Palace has always been a noble and sacred palace in legends, where the emperor often discusses matters.But until this time, no one knew how much blood was stained on the steps of the palace.The emperor never cared about the time and place when he wanted to kill people, let alone what people had to say.
Hearing this, Rong You gasped, and the more he thought about it, the more he shuddered—if he obeyed a certain guard after the award ceremony and was led to Bailu Palace, would he be the one who died now?
Outside the Xianqinzuo Palace, that farce-like snatching scene actually robbed the life of the Third Prince.
Shuanglou looked calm, and continued to narrate: "After Xu En died, Camilla was in a bad mood."
Shuanglou is like this, the ability to feel and describe the psychology of others is very poor, but Rong You can imagine how broken Camilla was at that time.
If Camilla hadn't insisted on coming to rescue, perhaps Xu En would not have died so easily.It was Camilla who alerted the secret plan in Bailu Palace, and made the emperor aware of more and more insiders of this matter—even such ordinary people could know, and finally he decided to avoid nights and dreams.
Rong You immediately thought of something, and asked, "Did His Majesty make things difficult for you?"
"No." Shuanglou said, "Your Majesty has never easily moved His Highness Prince Ming's people."
When the three of them heard the news of Xu En's death, Shuanglou and Master Li immediately felt the emperor's murderous intentions, and immediately returned with Camilla on the aircraft.
However, on the eve of breaking through the atmosphere, Camilla fell directly from the aircraft.At that time, the pressure of lifting off the ground was too great, and there was only one hole in the aircraft, but Shuanglou and Master Li, not to mention rescuing Camilla, even themselves were in danger.Master Li went forward desperately, but only brought back some relics, and was severely burned in the process; Shuanglou was fine.
In this environment, Camilla was burnt to ashes almost as soon as she went out, scattered into insignificant dust on the Emperor Star.
Rong You asked: "Did she commit suicide because all thoughts were lost?"
Shuang Lou said: "It's hard to say. It may have been a suicide; it may have been pushed out. There were still three pilots at the time, and I'm not sure that none of them were spies from other places."
In short, there is one less insider in this matter.Like Fu Yu who hanged himself, like Bai Han who withered and died of illness, like a black market doctor who was silenced by Master Li, and like the housekeeper of Bai's family who took poison on his own initiative.
The emperor wanted to kill his youngest son. Without Fu Yu, this matter would have been completed long ago, and it would have been as silent as it is now.
After Shuanglou went down to rest, Rongyou contacted Fu Ding, but Fu Ding completely lost contact.
Rong You was so anxious that he speculated that Fu Ding might have been imprisoned because he secretly helped them and angered his father, Fu Qian, the treasurer.Rong You knew how cold-blooded the Chancellor was, he didn't care about the life or death of a certain son, and he was more likely to regard them as pawns for use.
So he had no choice but to ask Prince Ming for help, and said, "Can you help me find out about Fu Ding's news?"
Di Ming said, "You want me to help Fu Ding?"
Uncle Xiao Ming seemed reluctant—under normal circumstances, he would definitely not show his true emotions. Once he had such an expression, it must be on purpose.
Well, he just doesn't want to.
Rong You pretended to be angry and said: "If you can, you can, if you can't, you can't. I know that the finance minister is your political enemy. It must not be easy for you to find out about Fu Ding. If the price is too high, I will not force you to do it. But you You have to give me an accurate word so that I know what I can do next."
Prince Ming thought for a while, and said calmly: "Fu Ding will be fine. Fu Qian never does things that are useless. He took Fu Ding to the palace, presumably for information about Xu En; after Xu En died, he also sent Fu Ding went out intact, so it can be seen that Fu Ding still has value. With Fu Qian's protection of the value of use, if I try it at this time, it will only backfire."
He didn't lie to Rong You, and he was also one of the people who knew Fu Qian best.Rong You thought for a while, then asked: "Then what can we do?"
Di Ming said: "If you really want to help him, then show your worth."
Rong You looked at him blankly.
Di Ming said: "You and Fu Ding have been friendly for more than a year, and the Minister of Finance clearly knows this. Now that Xu En is dead, if they react, you are the next target. As an enemy, your greatest value is to be difficult." Entanglement and danger, the greater the value, the greater the use value of Fu Ding, and the safer he is."
Rong You asked: "Then what can I do?"
"Please take the initiative to see the emperor." Di Ming said.
Rong You took a deep breath: "He wants to kill me, and I still ask to see him?"
Di Ming said: "The timing of Xu En's death is just right, too early or too late, you are in danger now. But because of the coincidence, the emperor will not kill you now, but must appease you immediately. Xiaoyou, you should catch up on sleep now. Afternoon I will take you to the palace to thank you."
The actions of these people are so delicate, as if everyone clearly understands certain rules, common sense, and necessary countermeasures.In their eyes, how to deal with it is a natural experience, and they can completely guess the opponent's next move; but for Rong You, he only feels that his eyes are hazy, and there are terrifying murderous intentions hidden everywhere.
At noon, a new order from the palace was issued, which was exactly the same as what Di Ming said.
The emperor's imperial pen conferred on Rongyou, the Lord of Xingchenhua, an honorary duke for life, called "Duke Xingchenhua".And give the territory one hundred star systems, with military support and independent judicial power.
At the same time, the emperor did not ask Rong You to enter the palace to meet Sheng and Xie En.
Rong You grabbed a flimsy piece of paper, her mind went blank.He has so easily surpassed the steps that most commoners, even a hundred generations, cannot climb, and has gone from a war orphan to a duke in one breath?
He counted with his fingers: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi, male.The duke is the highest noble among the regular titles under the king. It is almost never granted to members of the royal family, and its significance is not the same as that of other noble classes.From the point of view of the territory alone, the Duke is also the only title with the right to raise soldiers and have independent judicial power - the combination of the two means that the Duke is basically the No. [-] emperor in his territory, and even the influence of the emperor himself must not be overshadowed this lord.
Rong You comes from planet G02, which has 6000 million people.Now he owns ten star systems, which means he can control the life and death of at least [-] million people.
What is this concept?Rong You is completely unimaginable.
He looked up at Prince Ming.
"He just gave you back what originally belonged to you." Di Ming said indifferently, "The heir to the throne should be named a Marquis when he is born, and a Grand Duke when he becomes an adult, so as to accumulate experience in managing the territory and make preparations for inheriting the throne. "
Rong You was dizzy and said, "How could it be so... suddenly? I never thought about it..."
"He's testing you. If you accept this title and flee to the territory immediately, he will have a thousand ways to assassinate you." Di Ming's smile was slightly mocking, "Don't worry, you follow me into the palace that is."
After just one day, Rong You returned to Emperor Star Bahamut again.This time, his state of mind is completely different from the previous trip.
He realized that the queen who died in the palace of Lydiaza was already the most honorable and honorable way for the royal family to die.She died during the period when her husband loved her the most, and she will only be an enviably lucky person from then on.At the same time, many people died in the palace without names.When future generations admire the luxury and beauty of the palace, even if they hear this history, they will not be able to feel the cruelty and blood in it.
Rong You followed Prince Ming to re-enter the forbidden gate, this time the emperor was in his private residence, the Palace of Crosses.Prince Ming did not report at all, his artificial intelligence Isidor only needed a navigation, and drove straight into the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the place, the emperor's decree came, and it was an order from Daokou, asking Prince Ming to take people in directly.
Rong You turned his head to look at Di Ming.The latter smiled slightly and said arrogantly: "Relax, Xiaoyou, you can say whatever you want. The emperor is just a dying club, he has no ability to move my people. I know this, and he knows it, so By now you should know too."
The impact of the word "stick" floating out of Prince Ming's mouth was too great. Rong You knew that he was trying to ease his emotions, but he still had a sense of absurdity out of thin air, saying: "You...you... You are talking about my dear father."
"..." Someone's smile faltered.
Rong You sympathized: "Did you just react?"
After a while, Prince Ming came back to his senses and said: "... Let me think about it, if I go in and call my father-in-law now, can I scare him to death?"
General Shuanglou came back to plead guilty, saying, "I'm sorry, Rongyou, but I couldn't complete the mission."
Rong You said: "It's none of your business, General Shuanglou, you don't need to apologize for other people's mistakes."
