The video of the emperor himself going off the field quickly spread on the Star Network, and the popularity is still rising.
To everyone's surprise, the emperor personally admitted "Wu Heng" as the prince? And it was not an illegitimate son of unknown origin, but the legitimate eldest prince of the empire.
Although everyone was also very surprised, what happened to the eldest prince who had already died? Suddenly "dead? Come back to life", but they prefer to call it a wonderful surprise.
This means that "Wu Heng" is the legitimate future heir of the empire and the number one candidate for the next emperor - there is no doubt that all the charges against him have been cleared, and he has such a Talent and strength, is there anyone else who can compete with it
In fact, the entire empire could not wait to raise their hands and feet in favor of this rightful eldest prince becoming the crown prince.
This? That's why everyone was so surprised.
—Since he is the future heir of the empire, the whole empire is his. Will there be someone who will give up the whole empire and the soon-to-be emperor's throne because of some misunderstandings that have been clarified
Everyone has been convinced that the former light of the empire will return to the empire as the eldest prince.
And this time, they will definitely give a grand welcome.
However, to everyone's surprise, even though the emperor had announced the other party's identity and clarified his crimes, he rarely showed his loving father in private in front of the public. He was like a Just like an ordinary father who lost his son for many years and finally found it again, the anticipation and joy in his eyes and tone are enough to move anyone... but not the person who should be moved.
Whether it's out of consideration of the huge benefits brought by the recognition of relatives, or out of emotional factors, logically speaking, "Wu Heng" should? He won't refuse!
However, he never responded, as if he never knew what happened on the side of the empire. After all, there is no Internet access inside and outside the empire.
—In view of the fact that he was so powerful that he could directly bypass the wall and broadcast live on the Empire Star Network, no one would believe that he was really ignorant of everything.
Blindly optimistic comments on the Starnet gradually decreased, replaced by various kinds of anxiety, bewilderment, and doubts. Some people turned into dog-headed military advisers and gave the royal family all kinds of ideas that sounded strange or reasonable, just to give them support and quickly invite people back.
So, three days after the emperor made such a touching statement and there was still no response, someone came to his door.
To be precise, it is a bounty hunter organization that does not show much on weekdays. Their leader found them through the public residence of "Xinghai". It represents the will of the emperor.
It didn't take long for him to meet people smoothly.
On a public asteroid, in a seemingly inconspicuous spaceship, the leader of the bounty hunter organization did not encounter any difficulties. The first time he walked in, he saw his target.
In the empty cabin, there is no third person. A black-haired, gray-eyed young man with a stern temperament is just like this? Casually? Sitting there, he is playing with a box of colorful starry sky stones with great interest.
His slender legs were folded and stretched out in front of him. He didn't seem to have any inflexibility at all, and he didn't cover up his face any more. It was a picture that almost everyone in the star field was very familiar with. The face is exposed.
"It really is you, Commander Wu Heng." The visitor took a deep breath and saluted him. It was not a common meeting ceremony in the Desolate Star Territory, but a lower-level person in the empire facing a higher-level person or an ordinary person facing a member of the royal family. According to the etiquette, "No, it should be said that it is His Royal Highness the First Prince."
After finishing the salute, the man raised his head and stated his purpose truthfully: "Your Highness, I am here on behalf of the empire. I am an envoy sent by the emperor of the empire. Since your majesty cannot contact you in other ways , and I happened to be in the Desolate Star Territory, so I was given this important mission to serve as a bridge for you to communicate with Your Majesty."
Saying this, he raised his hand, revealing a special optical brain in his palm, and said in a respectful tone, "If you don't mind, Your Majesty would like to have a talk with you."
Yuan didn't want to play with the smooth and cold starry sky stone in his hand, and looked up lazily? Looking at him, he didn't answer, and he didn't take over the light brain. Instead, he said something irrelevant like a small chat: "I heard what are you The leader of the bounty hunter organization, it seems that this is another force manipulated by the empire behind the scenes? No wonder you can find out my identity so quickly."
Of course, this is also related to his openness.
Originally, the distance between the Desolate Star Territory and the empire was far away, and it was regarded as a garbage area by the empire. Generally speaking, the emperor was too lazy to pay attention to what information was there. The empire manipulated these forces behind the scenes mainly for profit. Or kill some people who are inconvenient to kill directly.
However, the amount of information displayed in the live broadcast is too great. The emperor can give up a disused "Wu Heng", but he must not ignore a possible cure for his genetic collapse.
Therefore, after the live broadcast ended that day, the emperor almost immediately used all available power, and sent people to search for Yuan Buwei's whereabouts. By the way, he also paid attention to all the information about healing gene collapse, even in a remote place like the Desolate Star Field. Starfield is no exception. Then, they found some news that had been ignored before.
For example, it seems that some people in the Desolate Star Territory reappeared alive and kicking after their genes collapsed. This kind of uncertain gossip has been ignored as a rumor before. Gene collapse can be cured, that is simply a big joke!
But now, when these "rumors" that were once ignored were finally paid attention to, thanks to the powerful intelligence network of the Empire and the think tank team with high IQ, they quickly found "Xinghai". A newly promoted organization that rose very quickly, and whose timeline was almost the same as after "Wu Heng" was exiled.
Given that Yuan Buwei didn't cover up much about the clues, it wasn't difficult to guess his true identity.
So, there was this meeting today.
"Honestly speaking, so? What? I sent someone to come here soon. Your Majesty is more decisive than I expected." Seeing that the visitor acquiesced to his statement, his expression was still respectful and he didn't think twice. The meaning of talking too much is not because he shook his head boredly, and stretched out his hand to him, "Bring it, I am also curious about what he wants to say?"
Those who have achieved their goals respectfully presented the specially-made optical brains without hesitation, and then left respectfully. They were very respectful from the beginning to the end.
Yuan Buwei turned on the optical brain and found the only communication number stored on it—this? It seems to be a communication channel specially opened by the empire with black technology, which spans the long distance between the empire and the barren star field.
As the communication signal was turned on, light and shadows were projected in mid-air, revealing the not-so-young face of the Emperor of the Empire. He showed a gentle smile to Yuan Buwei, looking like a kindly Senior citizens.
This was the smile that Wu Heng had seen many times in the past. At the beginning, he was also very much relied on by the emperor, and the emperor's demeanor really made him very fond of it.
Of course, this is of no use to the original inaction now. Not only this smile, but even what the other party wants to say next, Yuan Buwei can guess.
He lied just now—actually, he wasn't curious about what was going to happen next. He just wanted to cooperate a little before his goal was not achieved.
Thinking like this, Yuan Buwei interrupted him before the emperor could barely say a few words of greeting, before he had time to say more words that made him bored.
"I know the purpose of this communication, but unfortunately, it is difficult for me to trust an empire that once allowed me to be exiled for crimes. A murderer has not been punished so far, but the person who is running for me with his heart? Heart? The empire that has been convicted, trusts the emperor who is in charge of this empire."
An extremely sharp cold light burst out from his dark gray pupils, and he stared at the phantom of the emperor intuitively: "I think, this? It's not something that can be changed by a genetic comparison. Even if we do exist physically relationship, but I cannot trust you."
In the eyes of the emperor, this was the one he was familiar with, the "Wu Heng" who always spoke frankly and was extremely straightforward.
— This? It also means that everything is not out of the emperor's control, and his plan is feasible.
So next the emperor showed his sincerity as planned. Whether it is the third prince who is the culprit, or those "Wu Heng" political opponents who fell into trouble, and those who used to be "Wu Heng"'s subordinates, but later turned against him and accused him, these people have been listed in a long list, All kinds of crimes were found out, especially slander and slander, and the emperor presented all of these to Yuan Buwei—now, he controlled their fate.
In the end, the few people who have advocated for him in the conviction that he was wronged and implicated instead have all been acquitted.
——In a certain sense, why didn’t you go around this big circle to let the empire recognize his status as a prince, and make all kinds of efforts to welcome him back, instead of just staying here The Desolate Star Territory has developed silently, and in the future, the Desolate Star Territory will be unified and directly returned to the empire. One of the important reasons for this is for the lives of these people.
The most heavily guarded place in the empire, apart from the palace and the military headquarters, is the prison of the trial hall. With the help of the anti-government organization, he could sneak into the home of a lieutenant general and arrest people, but he couldn't sneak into the prison of the trial hall to save people. Even if it can be done, those people have family and friends, but if they are just rescued, who can guarantee that their family and friends will not be implicated
The easiest and safest way is for the empire to take the initiative to clear their charges and let them get away. This is a reward for their trust and loyalty to the original body.
You came and I played with the emperor once, and let this group of subordinates who were loyal to the original body regain their freedom? Although I didn't feel disgusted by the emperor's hot eyes, but in general It's worth it.
In the end, both were satisfied.
It was not because the initial goal was achieved, but the emperor saw that the young man in front of him seemed to have been shaken by him, but there was still a knot in his heart that prevented him from making a decision immediately, but as long as he continued to persevere Sincerity and full of fatherly love, I believe this? Orphaned child will not take long to accept it.
After the communication was cut off, Yuan Buwei let out a sigh of relief.
"... just for those tool people, I really sacrificed too much." He silently nodded a thumbs up for himself, and began to think of all kinds of operations in his heart, "After that, I will definitely Squeeze them well and give me ten times a hundred times compensation."
At this time, he suddenly thought of what he asked System 999 to investigate before: "Have you found the specific place corresponding to the starry sky in that painting?"
It is of course impossible for human beings to find a place based on the sight of a mere starry sky. Because the stars in most people's eyes are similar. But for intelligent life like System 999, they can scan out any slight difference.
System 999 gave an affirmative answer: [According to the comparison of star maps and the perspective given by the host, there is only one planet that can look up at the star map on the ground and is suitable for living people to live in.]
[—That is the legendary exile star.]
"Liu, Fang, Xing?" Yuan Buwei was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful smile.
"... When I first came to this world, Xi Wei seemed to have said that this body is a famous person on the side of Exile Star, right?" His focus was strangely Staggered to another place, "So, this? Is it the story of a kid who ran away from home... and unfortunately got caught back after growing up?"
