In December 6194 of the Milky Way calendar, the emperor of the Galaxy Empire, Rong Xuan, died in Taixuan Palace, and the emperor's third son, Rong You, was established as emperor in his will.

The third son of the emperor tried his best to reject the ministers, but he refused to accept his resignation.

The enthronement of the new emperor was forced to be postponed until the end of the new year. At this time, the whereabouts of the eldest son, Rong Qing, was still unknown;

At this time, only the third son of the emperor, Rongyou, was left as the legal heir in the central star field of the empire, and the officials knelt down to remonstrate with death, and only then did he dispel the idea of ​​going to the battlefield with him.

On the last day of 6194, according to the old customs, the emperor himself should lead his officials to offer sacrifices to the New Year, but at this time the new emperor refused to ascend the throne, and the four officials in charge of the ceremony resigned one after another.

The New Year's Ceremony in 6195 was presided over by Prince Ming himself, and Rong You attended in the name of the third son of the emperor and Grand Duke Xingchenhua, ranking first in the royal family.This is the first time he has confirmed his identity as a prince, and at the same time, he has shown amazing political potential as soon as he appeared. Self-contained (political, economic and military) territory.Fourteen days later, the news of the former emperor Rong Xuan's death had reached the last branches of this huge empire, and the Dragon Tomb had been properly arranged.According to the will of the first emperor and the first empress, they were buried together in one coffin and only one monument was erected.

People in the Galactic Empire don't stick to life and death and etiquette, but there are still relevant rules when the emperor dies.On the day of the funeral, Rong You personally helped the spirit. All the members of the Shenlong royal family from three generations ago were present. They spent seven full days in mourning, remembering the late emperor, commenting on his achievements, and finally gave him a posthumous title.

Rong You didn't participate in their discussion the whole time, but just quietly looked at the coffin in front of him with silent and focused eyes, where his biological parents were buried.

But for more people, the dead are dead after all, and the most important thing now is the new emperor——

Someone asked: "How can Dagong Xingchenhua inherit the throne? Even if he is the third prince himself, how can he convince his courtiers and make the citizens admire him even though he is the third prince himself and has been wandering among the people for so many years?"

Rong You didn't answer because he didn't care about it.

But someone asked again: "Is he really the third highness who disappeared back then? If so, why did His Majesty the late emperor let him wander away?"

This time Rong You spoke, because he didn't want to hear them discuss what happened between him and his biological father, it had nothing to do with outsiders.Rong Xuan has always been a good emperor, even though he missed some things as a father, Rong You can understand now, and he doesn't want to be discussed like this in his mourning hall.

Rong You said: "I have lived in the second-level border war star for more than ten years, which is adjacent to the new province of the Rising Sun Alliance, and I am far away from the traitor area of ​​​​the empire; there are also interstellar pirates rampant there, and there is a dangerous insect. The hole leads to the unknown star field."

When he said this, many people looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what he meant.

Then, Rong You continued: "The Emperor let me grow up there, so I have experienced the military career there, and I also understand the status quo of the star field on the border of the empire. My only purpose to experience them and understand them is: one day, we It will recover all the lost land, wipe out the interstellar pirates, so that all our lands can be solidified, and all citizens can live and work in peace and contentment. For this purpose, "the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country", why should we spare a little prince?— —My royal father sent me away with such a mood."

After he finished speaking, there was no sound in the mourning hall.

From the fifth day of the late emperor's death, everything was in order, except for the final burial in the Dragon Tomb.

The important ministers in the Xiaoting Council began to put pressure on Rong You. First, the military minister (Military Minister) Xue Tai was sick and bedridden, and then the political minister (administrative minister) submitted his resignation.

The center of imperial power almost stopped functioning. The reports and proposals submitted by the ministers every day first entered the cabinet, and then dispersed to the small court council because they had no right to approve them. The seal is still sealed in the imperial study, and these things can only be piled up into a mountain in the end, even if there are red feathers on it that represent urgency.

The Minister of Royal Affairs was almost heartbroken, and almost cried and begged the new emperor to succeed to the throne, because every delay in an important decision, the empire may lose thousands of citizens and hundreds of millions of wealth.The official of ceremonies just resigned because of his ascension to the throne; and as the first liaison between the royal family and the outside world, he can already apologize with all his heart.

While Rong You participated in the funeral of his parents, he dealt with the entire Shenlong royal family alone, cared about his brother and sister's war, and at the same time had to deal with the pressure of these important officials of the empire. He was exhausted physically and mentally.

This night, Rong You asked Prince Ming: "Who else can move the Imperial Seal? Can anyone share the pressure of political affairs?"

Di Ming said: "Xiao You, before the emperor Rong Zhao comes back, you are their only choice. The ministers are eager for the new emperor to be on the throne - this cannot be shared. If you just want someone to solve those memorials, I can do it." help you."

Rong You's eyes were black and black, and he didn't think much about it, he leaned on his shoulder and closed his eyes, and said: "The most important documents, please take a look at them. I'm so tired, Uncle Xiao Ming... you wait Remember to wake me up..."

Prince Ming didn't take much rest these two days.To put it bluntly, since Emperor Xiandi and Caitong passed away at the same time, he has actually been the highest-ranking person in the Galactic Empire, and too many things are coming to him no matter whether it is open or dark.

The two could only sneak in at this moment, Rong You fell asleep without paying attention.

Maybe it was because of being too exhausted, Rong You had a bizarre dream, and it was a strange dream that combined reality and fantasy for no reason.

He dreamed of the Huacai Party held at Prince Ming's Mansion, and many people attended it.

Rong You got the identity of the king himself, but he didn't want to be the king. He hid his identity throughout the whole process and resisted being recognized.

A girl she didn't know got the queen's status, which made Timing not very happy.

Di Ming was the priest of the dragon god, and he dragged the king towards the outside of the banquet.Wearing a mysterious mask, he said, "The Dragon God protects you, Xiaoyou."

Rong You said confusedly: "I don't want Dragon God, you are enough."

The Diming in the dream really resembles the dragon god, arrogant but gentle.He took out the card symbolizing the king, put it in Rong You's palm, and said, "This card is operated in secret, because since the throne has already appeared, someone will always want to take it. I don't want to give it to anyone else except you." , it is of course necessary to use some special methods for this.”

Rong You suddenly panicked and said, "I don't want the throne, can you give it to someone else?"

He turned around to look for it, but after searching for a long time in a hurry, he remembered: the eldest son of the emperor didn't come to participate in the Huacai, so he didn't exist.

But the princess just watched all this gently, briefly appeared in Rong You's sight, and then left quickly.

Rong You ran after her all the way, as if afraid of her sudden disappearance.

At this time, he found that Shuanglou and Fu Ding were standing behind him as before.Without saying a word, Shuang Lou went up to chase after Rong You.

But Fu Ding said with a smile: "Xiaoyou, you forgot that I am a traitor."

Rong You woke up from the dream, at this time, only about 40 minutes later, he found that Di Ming was already working in the study.

So he went alone to wash his face with cold water, turned on the communicator, and saw the message Fu Ding sent him on the night of the late emperor's death.

Cai Xiang died at the same time. The official statement was a sudden cardiovascular disease, but they all knew that the Cai Xiang was poisoned to death by the late emperor. It is very reasonable for the emperor to pave the way a little bit.That's why Rong You immediately felt that Prince Ming would be in danger, so he broke into the palace so anxiously.

In the days that followed, Fu Ding was also busy preparing for the funeral of the Chancellor, and Rong You never had a proper opportunity to have a good talk with him.

This dream reminded Rong You that his friend was also suffering the pain of losing a loved one, so he should go over to offer condolences.Rong You thought for a while, and tried to communicate with him first.

Fu Ding appeared quickly, just like every time before.But for any news about Rong You, he must be connected immediately.

The two exchanged a few words of condolence, and Fu Ding said: "Rong You, you must be very busy recently. The state affairs are extremely busy at the beginning of the year, so I don't want to occupy your time too much. Have you confirmed the enthronement process?"

Rong You said: "No, I don't intend to accept the will, I thought you could understand me..."

Fu Ding was startled for a moment, and suddenly asked: "Then who is using the imperial seal today?"

Rong You turned around and took a look at the study room, saw Di Ming's concentrated back, and said, "Prince Ming is helping."

"Rong You." Fu Ding took a breath, "Do you know what this means?"

Rong You said: "Of course I trust Prince Ming, you don't have to worry."

"No, I'm not talking about this." Fu Dingdao, "Anyone can temporarily take over state affairs, but Prince Ming can't. Do you know what his status is now? As long as he thinks, he may become a regent at any time. What is this? Such a position on the cusp of the storm? It would be great if he really wanted to, but I’m afraid he still wants to return the imperial seal to you... to the new emperor. At that time, the new emperor will be able to tolerate him, all the officials How can we let him go? The so-called burning oil is too dangerous!"

Rong You was startled, but immediately understood, and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with him."

Fu Dingdao: "I'm afraid it's too late. Today, more than a dozen pieces of official seals have been issued, and they were clearly conveyed from Prince Ming's study. Now everyone, like me, thinks you are using the national seal, so It's safe and sound. But..."

But this matter must not be leaked.

Rong You also had to admit that he was in charge of state affairs - in other words: admit that he was exercising the power and obligation of the emperor.
