This is Yuan Buwei's first time seeing the emperor face to face in reality.
The average life expectancy of new humans has exceeded 120 years old. The emperor, who is in his early fifties, does not look old. His dark golden hair is neatly combed, and his pupils are dark brown close to black. , with a majestic yet loving expression on his face.
Seeing Yuan Buwei coming, didn't this big shot at the top of the empire's power pyramid greet him with a half-assed attitude, smiling all over his face: "Welcome back, son, the empire is your eternal home." He said in a tone of exclamation, and the tone was filled with emotion, "When I took a fancy to your talent and talent, and I promoted you as the youngest commander of the empire against all odds, I never thought that there would be a relationship between you and me. There's another relationship."
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, he first pointed out the kindness of cultivating "Wu Heng". ? Is it the heart of taking advantage
Wasn't it because his face was tense? His expression relaxed in due course.
Seeing this, the loving old father became more and more excited: "I was deceived by fate, made a big mistake, and almost made us miss it, but used another? Way to make us father and son recognize each other and get back. Every time Recalling this experience, I am both scared and pleasantly surprised. Fortunately, you are back after all, my? son. I? want to reveal your? identity to all? You are the future heir of the empire! This is what should belong to you? Honor!"
He swung his arms exaggeratedly, with a passionate expression, and made a promise that was enough to make countless people so excited that they couldn't sleep. His eyes were full of joy and satisfaction that his own son had lost and found again.
If it was the original body who grew up as an orphan, facing this attitude, I am afraid that no matter how much resentment he has, he will be dissipated, and he will even be moved to death.
It's a pity that Yuan Buwei has never been short of fathers, let alone be moved by this heavy father's love that fell from the sky. On the contrary, the experience of cheating fathers is extremely rich, enough to publish a book.
However, has he ever directed or acted? He has already filled up his acting skills, coping with the emperor, sprinkle water.
Therefore, he just slightly opened his eyes wide in surprise, and stared at the emperor with incomparably complicated eyes.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he closed it without saying a word. He seemed like a child who had never felt a father's love, and was suddenly shocked by this sudden care. In the midst of this, I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart for a while, and seemed a little overwhelmed.
After a while, the young man with a complicated expression said, "No need, I? Don't plan to stay in the empire for a long time. When everything is settled, I? Will leave with my fleet." He seemed to have made a decision, and he relaxed. Take a breath.
When the emperor heard the words, he showed a look of extreme disappointment. Naturally, he comforted him a lot, which fully demonstrated the care and love of an old father for his lost and found son. He made all kinds of promises without any trace, as if he wanted to make up for everything his son missed all these years.
This paternal love is so surging that the third prince Xiwen can vomit lemons, and of course it is enough to touch an orphan who has never felt a father's love, and it is difficult to refuse.
Just like that, the emperor looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction, his attitude gradually softened, and he was no longer so determined.
Yuan Buwei used his superb acting skills to show the process of struggling. Although his eyes seemed to be greatly touched, his mouth did not let go.
As if he had found an excuse, he said with a blunt attitude: "You want me to stay in the empire, but I don't feel the sincerity of the empire. Just on the imperial capital planet? In fact, there are obviously a lot of people who want my death."
The emperor also received the news just now. Looking back, his expression was not good. Seeing that Yuan Buwei seemed to be worried, he immediately assured him: "This incident was an accident, and it was also the dereliction of duty of the military department. Don't worry, I will definitely punish you severely. They will definitely find out who is behind the scenes in the shortest possible time and give you an explanation." His face was faintly angry, "You are my? Son, the future heir of the empire, killing you Provoking the entire empire, the entire empire? Such crimes must not be tolerated!"
The emperor's anger was never acted out.
This has nothing to do with whether the victim is his son or not, but that such behavior not only provokes the empire, but also slaps him in the face. He has explained everything? People want to greet the original and do nothing, but some people jump out and openly sing the opposite, the emperor doesn't want to lose face
What's more, they are still doing trouble in the Imperial Capital, which is already related to the safety of the Imperial Capital. Not to mention the emperor, I'm afraid other people can't bear it either.
There was a trace of murderous intent in the emperor's eyes, and he quickly restrained himself. He greeted Yuan Buwei with a smile: "It's rare for us father and son to reunite today, so we won't mention those spoilers. Come on, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" The palace has recently hired a new chef who is best at making wild game brought back by the original star. You must try it.”
The so-called "primitive stars" are those planets whose technological level is still at an extremely low level, and the natives of the planets were born not long ago.
The original planet still retains a complete natural landform, without high-tech transformation, and all kinds of birds and beasts grow wantonly. For the empire, it is the best source of wild ingredients.
Generally, when such a planet is discovered, the empire will choose to isolate it and protect it, not allowing anyone to destroy its native ecology, but sending people to capture the birds and beasts on the original planet regularly. It's like a farmer going to the wild to pick off ripe wild vegetables.
And these birds and beasts that have survived under the law of natural selection without human interference are naturally much more delicious and precious than those raised in captivity.
Yuan Buwei had a great meal happily. The only pity is that the chef doesn't seem to be good at desserts.
The emperor acted like an old father who cared about his son everywhere. Not only did he serve the dishes that "Wuheng" liked in the past, but he also asked intimately: "How is it? Is there anything that doesn't suit your taste? I will come back sooner or later, just to let the chef adapt to your preferences in advance." He really has to test every word he says.
Yuan Buwei didn't seem to notice it, and unceremoniously put forward his own opinion: "It's delicious. The only pity? The dessert after dinner is not sweet enough. Well, I think it's okay. Ten times sweeter." Saying this, he still looked at the emperor, "You think so?"
"..." The emperor was silent for a while, just thinking about the taste after being ten times sweeter, he felt bad all over, he nodded seriously, smiling kindly, "You're right, let him change it next time."
A pair of father and son, each with their own ghosts, sat together and enjoyed a big meal tacitly. By the way, you came and I tested many things during the meal.
For example, the emperor knew from Yuan Buwei that the reason why his genetic collapse could be cured was because he accidentally obtained a notebook left by some scientific research leader in the barren star field.
Back then, gene blending experiments were banned. Indeed, many people were still conducting taboo experiments in private. This statement? Sounds reasonable;
For another example, although the experience during this period was quite complicated, the emperor could still see that this cheap son had a cold face and a warm heart. He was still the pure and upright commander of the empire he used to be, and he liked his routine. It is estimated that it will not be long before he will be moved and completely become a member of the empire.
The emperor felt that he had gained a lot. At the same time, Yuan Buwei also found out the emperor's character during this futile banquet, and found that everything was not beyond his expectations—the emperor is the kind of cautious, rational, and relatively People who pay attention to eating looks mean that the other party will not force it unless necessary, but are more willing to achieve their goals through roundabout means.
Then, there is no need to change the plan if you don't do it.
This is why he is willing to meet the emperor in person? Reason. If he finds out that this person is a reckless man, or something else? He can adjust his plan in time to avoid falling into trouble.
Now that the emperor's personality is similar to what he guessed, then there is no need to introduce details, and he will proceed according to what he imagined at the beginning—
After the meal was over, when the emperor played an emotional card to invite Yuan Buwei to stay in the palace, Yuan Buwei shook his head, and used the previous attack as an excuse to reject the emperor's good intentions: "This is the imperial capital. In the stars, there seem to be quite a few people who don’t welcome us, and I’d rather stay in my own fleet than in the unfamiliar palace.”
The people he brought, together with the airship, were settled in an open military base. The original intention was to live there.
The attack and killing incident just happened, his request is really reasonable. Even if his words meant that he suspected that the palace was not safe, the emperor really had no choice but to retort. He had no choice but to agree to Yuan Wuwei's request, and said a few more gentle words.
This result? The emperor was not too disappointed. Although it was not possible to let people live in the palace as expected, as long as people are still in the imperial capital, there will be opportunities? It's a chance. Judging from Yuan's attitude of not doing anything today, he has obviously loosened up, and it won't be long before he can "be kind to his father and be filial to his son".
At that time, as the future master of the empire, even for his own sake, can he not take the initiative to find ways to make the empire better? For example, curing genetic breakdown.
——The emperor who knew the temperament of "Wu Heng" very well, and he knew very well that he was a person who was soft but not hard. Only by softening the kidnapping with emotion can he be willing to contribute to the empire, as he has done in the past ten years.
Conscious that most of today's goals have been achieved, and he has seen clearly Yuan Buwei's true attitude towards the empire, the emperor watched Yuan Buwei leave with a smile, in a very good mood.
This kind of good mood weakened a little after receiving the investigation results from the military department and knowing the identity of the attacker who planned the attack. The mastermind behind the scenes is exactly those people who were previously issued an investigation order by the court.
In the case of Wu Heng being framed for treason, although the third prince Xiwen was the mastermind, it was also inevitable that other people would help him to make things worse.
And these people are divided into three groups. One group is those who have had a grudge against Wu Heng, who have had conflicts with him or whose interests have been destroyed by him. Among them are many nobles. When Wu Heng was convicted, this group of people made great efforts;
The other group of people had no enmity with Wu Heng, they just stepped on the high and flattered the low, and fell into trouble after being hinted by the previous group of big nobles. Most of these people were small nobles or middle-level officers in the army;
The last group were Wu Heng's original subordinates. After realizing that he could no longer stand up, they simply "exposed" him righteously.
They were high-spirited before, but when the empire turned up and down, they became abandoned sons used by the empire to curry favor with the original. Except for the third prince Xiwen, the culprit who had been exiled, everyone else received an investigation order. Those who are serious have been taken into custody by the trial hall.
Even so, they still have their own power.
This time, they probably realized that after returning to the empire for the sake of this suffering master, their fate would be very miserable, with no hope of recovery. When the fish died and the net was broken?, this group of people made an impulsive move.
The power of the empire is indeed impressive, everyone has been caught, and it is not difficult to find something by following the clues.
The emperor looked at all the information coming from his brain, and frowned slightly when he saw all the way to the end.
"...There are actually traces of anti-government organizations participating in it?"
He sneered, and murmured: "That's right. Before Wu Heng's identity was revealed, he had a deal with anti-government organizations in Xinghai. They knew the power of life essence best. How could they just watch the empire solve the shackles?" Illness? Instigated by anti-government groups, no wonder."
Even so, thinking of the group of impulsive guys who almost ruined his event, he couldn't help scolding from the bottom of his heart: "A group of idiots!"
·
"Idiots? Can they get to the current position? They, of course, can't be idiots." On the other hand, Yuan Buwei who left the palace was also in a good mood, and he answered the doubts of the system 999 with a chuckle.
"When people are desperate, they will always do things that other people think are stupid." As for who attacked him? Who are they, and why? It is not clear why they chose to attack him. After all, they are He sent someone to egg them on, "It's not stupid, it's just that there isn't a smarter way?"
He walked aimlessly through the long street, his conspicuous appearance was already covered under the hood, and his slightly exposed chin slightly lifted: "... Now, those who received the news must have been completely panicked ? Time to teach them a smarter way?"
System 999? A bit confused: [Host, what are you?]
Yuan Buwei felt that he was too magnanimous: "Seeing that they gave me an excuse not to live in the palace, I? Just reluctantly help out with an idea and let them ask for my? Forgiveness!"
[…]
System 999 finally understood, and it suddenly fell into a weird? Silence.
…Using others to help you stay in the palace in a logical manner, so as not to fall into the emperor’s territory by accident, and cheating others a lot, and now you have to act as a dog-headed military adviser to teach them how to lick you, and serve as a tool. Come on... is this really? Is it human? ?
The author has something to say:
In short, the assassination was led by Yuan Yuan himself. Well, one of the reasons is that it is logical not to live in the palace, but to stay in one's own fleet. After all, the imperial palace is the emperor's territory. I don't know how many cards there are. What if the emperor's head twitched and Yuan Yuan was caught one day? If there is no assassination and the protagonist refuses to live in the palace, then his defense against the emperor is too obvious. Logically speaking, he is the emperor's own son, why is he so wary of the emperor? This may arouse the suspicion of the emperor. Now, because he had been assassinated, he was worried that the palace would not be safe, which was reasonable.
