Slag suffers as [main attack]

The emperor of the Garter Empire has been very busy with the rebellion in recent days.Ever since his fiefdom fell when he was a prince, it seemed that everyone had recognized him as a soft persimmon and wanted to squeeze it.There were medium-sized star thieves constantly wandering around the empire, looting as soon as they had the opportunity, and when a large group of pursuers came after them, they quickly withdrew, making the emperor extremely annoyed.

It's hard to say how many of these so-called star bandits are real star bandits, and how many are spies from other countries pretending to test the Garter Empire.

No matter how stupid Emperor Jiade was, he knew that this was not a good thing.Today, many hostile forces have not figured out the bottom line of the Guardian Empire, and are still in a wait-and-see state, and have not shown [-]% of their abilities.Once they feel that the Garter Empire is easy to bully, they will swarm up and carve up the power of the Garter Empire.At that time, it will be the real catastrophe of the empire!

For this reason, Emperor Jiade made three decisions. The first decision was to take back his former fief with all his strength.That not only represented his face, but also demonstrated the strength of the Garter Empire!The fief was taken away earlier, and it can be inferred that it was a temporary mistake. After all, the place where the fief is located is far away from the imperial capital, and there are also insufficient defenses.But if the fief was taken, but he, the Emperor Garter, was unable to take back that fief, it would be a matter of strength.The weak Garter Empire will surely attract more people to covet it!

Unfortunately, his plan was not implemented smoothly, because he was too obsessed with regaining the former fiefdom, and a large number of combat forces gathered over the space where the fiefdom was located. On the contrary, the garrison forces of Capital Star and other fortresses were divided Quite a lot.The 'Star Thieves' who occupied the magpie's nest took advantage of the favorable location to trap the Garter Empire's army there, and it was difficult to escape in a short time. For the Garter Empire and the emperor himself, this was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.

The emperor's plan not only failed to regain face for the empire, but deterred all forces that were about to move, on the contrary, it made the situation more critical.But things have developed to this point, even if he wants to call back all the troops sent to attack there immediately, it is impossible.This is not something that ordinary star robbers can do!Only then did Emperor Jiade realize that he had already fallen into a trap carefully arranged by others.However, since the confrontation, he has always been contemptuous of the other party. He only thought that they were a group of lucky star thieves. He didn't even dig deeper into the real identity of the other party. Now, he finally paid for his stupidity and negligence. paid the price.

But the price of making him sober is so expensive.The current situation of the Guardian Empire, which had already had a rough start, is even worse.

For this reason, Emperor Jiade had to take some measures to restore the current situation.The second decision he made was to try his best to stabilize the envoys of the Reiner Empire and ask them to say something good for him in front of the Reiner Emperor.At this moment when rumors are rising, if even the Reiner Empire is on the opposite side of him, then he will really be doomed.

From the moment the first shot of the fief was fired, Emperor Jiade clearly felt that the seemingly humble courtiers around him were no longer as respectful to him as they used to be.Those courtiers who were not very tame to him and the masters behind them were secretly scrambling again.Emperor Jiade was furious about this.

He has not given birth to an Alpha prince since he ascended the throne.The only child is still a Beta who is regarded as a disgrace to the royal family. Logically speaking, he has no right to inherit the throne.It's obvious what his Alpha brothers and his courtiers are planning!At the beginning, he leniented those brothers to stabilize the people under them, not to keep them to compete with him and his children for the throne!Since his kindness cannot exchange for their loyalty, then there is no need for them to exist!

Under the trend of this mentality, Emperor Garter did one thing, he ordered people to kill all the Alpha princes in the capital planet.Of course, he was not stupid enough to execute those brothers directly in the name of his family, but ordered his direct troops to pretend to be rebels to do so.But almost all the people who were qualified to replace him disappeared overnight, and in addition, he inevitably left clues in his actions, how could people with discerning eyes not see what was going on?

If it was said that they still hesitated, this move of the emperor directly prompted them to make up their minds to rebel.The emperor's actions are so cruel, once he is allowed to really control the situation, how can he let them go?They will only die worse than those princes!Even without mentioning other factors, as the mother clan of the prince, Emperor Jiade directly destroyed their hope and killed their relatives, and they must take revenge!

Emperor Jiade thought very well, as long as he killed all those who were qualified to threaten him, even if these ministers wanted to pick and choose between him and his brothers, there would be no room for them.But when he was doing this, he didn't realize that in this way, he had formed a death feud with those families.He showed such a strong hostility that no matter what, those families would not be used by him.

If there was someone who could replace Emperor Garter, they would definitely choose to support those people.If not... Even if they hand over the centuries-old foundation of the empire, they will not let Emperor Garter continue to sit firmly on the throne!Emperor Jiade's frequent tricks have greatly weakened their loyalty to the imperial family.

Fortunately, they haven't reached that step yet.

Due to his haste, Emperor Garter only had time to kill all the Alpha princes on the capital planet. His youngest Alpha brother happened to return to the fief and was not on the capital planet, so he escaped.After these things, the only remaining Alpha prince dared not go back to the capital planet. With the help of his grandfather and uncles, he began to recruit soldiers and horses in the fief to establish his own power.

This little prince can be said to be the only Alpha prince who has not had conflicts with Emperor Garter before.When the older Alphas fought for the throne, the little prince was still a four or five-year-old kid who didn't understand anything and posed no threat to the throne.Therefore, after ascending the throne, Emperor Jiade treated this young brother well.Of course, this is not bad compared to those brothers who fought with him for the throne. Now, this little prince has become a hindrance to Emperor Garter, and the always cold-hearted emperor will naturally no longer be kind to him.

For the little prince who had escaped from birth, what awaited him was the assassination from his brother and the tentative contacts from the ministers.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Faced with such a chaotic situation, the young prince was a little scared and at a loss, and a pair of white and tender hands subconsciously grabbed the sleeves of the person he trusted the most: "Brother Wang, what should I do?" ..."

"He has a cruel temperament, and he is merciless to his brothers. He is no longer worthy of being the emperor of the Garter Empire."

The little prince looked at his uncle in confusion, and after a while, he said: "...will you die, uncle and Evan?" He pointed to Admiral Ravi, and then pointed to himself.

The words were vague, but Admiral Ravi understood what he meant: "Yes. If you continue to let the emperor continue to kill like this, both uncle and Evan will die. So, Evan is obedient, don't think about your brother brother anymore."

The pupils of the little prince constricted suddenly: "Uncle and Evan, will they die? Don't want Brother Wang, Evan doesn't want Brother Wang!"

"Your Highness, don't worry, just leave everything to uncle, and uncle will never harm you." Admiral Ravi said.He stopped, turned around, squatted in front of the little prince, and calmed his emotions: "Does Your Highness trust me?"

The young child and Admiral Ravi looked at each other for a moment, and the fear on his little face faded a lot, he nodded heavily: "Well, trust uncle." After a pause, he said in a small voice: "I like uncle the most! "

"Good boy!" Admiral Ravi touched the little prince's head with one hand, but a little thought flashed in his eyes.

The emperor is becoming more and more impatient now, it seems that it is time for them to act.

……

Based on various factors, it is imperative to win over the Reiner Empire.Emperor Garter hoped that even if the Reiner Empire did not help him, he would not take advantage of the situation to rob him, or help the young child in Admiral Ravi's hands to suppress him.

The envoys of the Leiner Empire had long hoped to take the "Elder Prince Concubine" back. It was Emperor Jiade who wanted to quarrel with the Leiner Empire, so he reluctantly kept her.Now, he no longer has the capital to argue with others.

Emperor Jiade rubbed his hands anxiously in the palace, waiting for the envoy's arrival.

As soon as the envoy of the Reiner Empire stepped into the palace, he couldn't wait to greet him: "How are the two envoys doing recently? Recently, some young people in the country made trouble. I was busy with government affairs, so I couldn't communicate well with the two envoys. To promote the friendship between the Reiner Empire and our Garter Empire, I am really ashamed."

In the past, he would never speak to the two envoys in such a humble manner.In his opinion, he is equal to the monarch of the Reiner Empire, even if the Reiner Empire is a little stronger now, the envoys are still envoys, and it is not worth letting go of his dignity as a monarch at all.

However, his fief was taken away, star bandits invaded his territory, and other countries took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of him. Even his courtiers rebelled against him and took refuge in his Alpha brother. He can be said to be everywhere. enemy.Under such circumstances, he must never lose the favorability of the Reiner Empire.

The corners of the mouths of the two envoys twitched when they heard the words 'the friendship between the Reiner Empire and the Garter Empire'.The master was really blunt, and he came directly to tell them which side they should stand in this incident.

It's a pity that how to treat the Garter Empire is really not up to them.

The two envoys complained endlessly in their hearts, but they didn't show it at all: "Your Majesty is serious. Our Majesty and Your Highness naturally know about Your Majesty's difficulties." After a pause, they said with deep meaning: "Our Majesty and Your Highness also like People who are peaceful, and have always been friendly with the Garter Empire, naturally hope that your country can stabilize as soon as possible."

This is simply talking plainly, the Reiner Empire and the Garter Empire have good relations?The relationship between the two countries has been deadlocked since 800 years ago, okay?If the Reiner Empire really had good relations with the Garter Empire, how could the two countries be at war, and how could the envoys of the Reiner Empire appear here to negotiate peace with Emperor Garter?

Emperor Jiade was extremely happy when he heard this.Didn't the Reiner Empire express their position by releasing such words?

As long as the Reiner Empire doesn't oppose him this time, he can be called the emperor's ancestor of the Reiner Empire!As for the previous "small" grievances, how can it compare with the current overall situation?

It's a pity that he was so happy that he didn't notice that what the two envoys said was to "stabilize the Garter Empire as soon as possible", not to help the king of the Garter Empire to secure his throne; nor did he notice that what the two envoys said It's not "how is your majesty", but "how is your majesty and your highness".After a few months, the political situation of the Reiner Empire had already changed, and only Emperor Garter knew nothing about it.

"Your Majesty is worthy of being a benevolent king, and your country can also be called a model among powerful countries." After getting a satisfactory answer, Emperor Jiade didn't mind saying a few nice words. Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, and since the other party threw "Goodwill", he has to show something here, so he won't be cold, right?

"Brother Wang has been ready these days. I know that the two envoys are eager to return to the country, so why not escort Brother Wang back to the Reiner Empire tomorrow?"

Previously, these two people were eager to bring Cyril back to the Reiner Empire, and they talked to Emperor Garter several times, but Emperor Garter didn't agree.Now, Emperor Jiade took the initiative to bring up this matter. Firstly, he hoped to sell them, and secondly, he also hoped that they could return to the Reiner Empire as soon as possible, lest the Reiner Emperor suddenly change his mind.

With the two countries just getting married, even if the Reiner Empire wants to target the Garter Empire, it still has to weigh its own reputation, right?If the Reiner Empire turned around and tore up the covenant and sold their in-laws, then their credibility in signing contracts with other countries in the future would be greatly reduced.Emperor Jiade was eager to implement the marriage between the two countries, so why not force the Reiner Empire to side with him?

Unfortunately, he was doomed to be disappointed.

The two envoys looked at each other: "Your Majesty, we are not going to take the eldest princess away at this moment. Our Majesty and His Highness ordered us to stay and wait for His Majesty's orders."

When they wanted to leave, Emperor Jiade refused to let them go, and when Emperor Jiade wished that they would return to the Reiner Empire immediately, an order came from above to tell them not to leave for the time being, which is really ironic.

Emperor Jiade's face suddenly darkened, and only then did he realize that the Reiner Empire didn't really want to help him.If you really want to help him, provide some weapons and supplies, or make a public statement on his side, which one can't work?He had to keep the peace mission with him.How can these people help him?I'm afraid it's true to send it back to the Reiner Empire as soon as possible after inquiring about the news!

Is it easy for him to ask God, but difficult to send God away?

At this sensitive juncture, he is not worried about letting these two foreign envoys stay, to guard against his subjects, rebels, and star robbers. Does he have to send people to watch these two foreign envoys?

In an instant, killing intent ignited in his heart.

Fortunately, he knew that killing the two envoys now would push the Reiner Empire to his opposite, so he didn't do anything.

Killing can't be killed, leaving it alone can't be done, coupled with the ambiguous attitude of the Leiner Empire... Emperor Garter is more disgusting than swallowing a fly, but he can't just throw face at the envoys of the Leiner Empire, and he has to Talking to them in a good voice and in a good manner, the violent Emperor Garter is almost suffocating internal injuries!But his strength is not as good as others, what can be done?

In the end, he could only force a smile and said, "Since the two envoys don't want to return to the country yet, let's stay in the Garter Empire for a while longer."

The two envoys smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't think we are annoying, we will not live here for nothing and do nothing. If Your Majesty needs any help, just ask us."

These words were heard in Emperor Jiade's ears, but it was a proof that the two of them were still good-looking after getting cheap.He would rather they do nothing, and he doesn't want them to interfere in the internal affairs of the Garter Empire without authorization!

Emperor Jiade was annoyed in his heart, but with an extremely awkward smile on his face, he said: "Yes, Lao, two, positions, envoys, yes."

Second thing, done.Although the result was not satisfactory, it was better than the result of the first thing.

……

The third thing Emperor Jiade did was to try his best to restore the relationship with his mother clan.

At the beginning, before he ascended the throne, his relationship with his mother clan could be said to be a sweet match, it couldn't be better.At that time, the only thing I could trust was my mother clan, and my mother clan fully supported me in order to go further. If there was something wrong with me, they were more nervous than myself.

However, since he took the throne, everything has changed.

He was obsessed with royal power, and he didn't want to give too much power to others, for fear that it would weaken his prestige.He can give his mother family glory, wealth, fame and status, but he is unwilling to delegate power.

The mother clan felt that Emperor Jiade was cold by nature.They worked desperately for him behind his back, but he was unwilling to give them even the most basic protection, so how could they be willing to work hard for him?In Emperor Jiade's view, he gave some glory and wealth to his mother clan, which was enough to repay his mother clan's kindness, but he never thought that what supported his mother clan to settle down in the court was not these vain wealth, but real power!

The contradiction between the two arises from this.

Emperor Jiade felt that his mother clan had changed, and became like other ministers, only thinking of taking power from himself; Emperor Jiade's mother clan was completely disappointed with Emperor Jiade, and they worked hard to support him The purpose of ascending to the throne is to gain more power and a greater right to speak, not to allow him to take back their original power from them!

When the relationship between the two was the coldest, during festivals, Emperor Jiade's family could only receive a meager reward, but never entered his family's mansion; nephew.

But it was not until the critical moment that Emperor Jiade discovered that besides his own soldiers, the only one he could trust was his mother clan.

His mother's family and his family were firmly marked with him. Even if they wanted to rely on others, others would not really believe them. Therefore, they had no choice but to support Emperor Jiade.

At this time, Emperor Jiade regretted it. He regretted that in order to regain power from his mother clan, he separated from his mother clan and let other ministers take advantage.Even if his mother clan has more power, what's the point?At least they didn't want to pull him down from the throne like those wolf-minded ministers.

However, when he understood all this, it was too late, everything was too late.

Although his mother clan still held some power in their hands, those powers were not even as good as when they helped him ascend the throne.

Besides—

Looking at the indifferent expression of his cousin who welcomed him into the door, Emperor Jiade knew that even if his family was still willing to help him and stood by him, he would not help him as much as before.

They chose to stand behind him only because they had no choice, not because he was worthy of their allegiance.As early as the moment he sneered with his family for the sake of power, there was an irreparable rift between him and his family.

The moment he walked out of his grandfather's mansion, although Emperor Jiade had achieved his goal, his heart was heavy.
