Wasn't it because of his performance during this period? He had already stabilized most of the people. This brutal cleansing did not cause much turmoil within the empire. Occasionally, some small disturbances were also quelled by the cooperation of others.
Losers in exile? No one cares. What they care more about is how to share the fruits of victory.
As people who have already completely boarded the original boat, these people can certainly call themselves victors. But now, what they most want to see is the stable position of His Royal Highness the First Prince.
You know, I didn't do it before, but I kept saying that I would go back to the empire to settle all grievances and leave. Now, all the sinners have been judged by? He has been cleared of all his crimes, and even regained the position of commander in chief. Will the other party leave everything behind and leave the empire
The emperor gave the empire a surprise.
After calling Yuan Buwei into the imperial palace again, the emperor announced to the outside world that the former light of the empire, their lost and regained commander "Wu Heng", was moved by the sincerity of the empire during this period, and finally decided to accept his own True identity, stay as the great prince of the empire.
As soon as this announcement came out, the empire was full of joy. Everyone seemed to have taken a reassurance.
The emperor himself was all smiles, and his joy could be seen in various reports on Starnet.
It has to be said that Yuan Buwei's disguise was too successful.
From the very beginning, he was cold and hard, unwilling to accept his own identity, and then he let go of his mouth and returned to the empire, and gradually began to subconsciously expand his power. After that, every time the emperor asked him to cultivate his relationship, he always seemed to be indifferent. Inquiring about the eldest prince's life in his childhood, he seems to want to know his past... The details of all these are perfect? It shows that after he suddenly learned of his life experience, he went from being unwilling to face it with a grudge, to being forced step by step. Softened by the unreceived father's love, he finally faced his heart and chose to accept the psychological process of identity and responsibility.
Under Yuan Buwei's superb acting skills, even a rational person like the emperor was unconsciously limped by the illusion he showed.
Now that he has accepted the identity of the eldest prince, and is willing to accept the empire as his responsibility from the bottom of his heart, the emperor must strike while the iron is hot, and at the same time show how much he attaches importance to this cheap son.
Therefore, he immediately announced that just a week later, he would hold a banquet to completely "rectify his name" and at the same time establish him as the crown prince of the empire.
Sure enough, Yuan Buwei was surprised and moved when he heard the news. He didn't refuse at all. Instead, he smiled and said to the emperor, "In this case, just wait? A week later. I will present you with a special gift, and you will be pleasantly surprised."
"Oh?" The emperor's heart skipped a beat.
Facing Yuan Buwei's pointed eyes full of hints and deep meaning, he seemed to have guessed something, and his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit.
Could it be that... is the principle of making the original liquid of life
On the day he became the crown prince of the empire, he would present a great gift to the entire empire, so that everyone would be free from the threat of genetic collapse, and his heir's position would be as stable as Mount Tai, and his reputation would be as high as the sky... This conjecture is simply unreasonable. Could not be more reasonable!
Thinking of this, although the emperor's desire to control power made him faintly displeased by being threatened by?, the emperor still felt more ecstatic.
It was like throwing a bait into the water, and after waiting quietly for a long time, the moment when the big fish was finally ready to bite the bait, he was either pleasantly surprised, expected, or apprehensive.
And what he has to do is to settle all these emotions, and gather his fishing line calmly and rationally!
Facing this way, the emperor laughed out loud, like a truly loving father looking at his son, full of expectation:
"Well, I'll just wait for your surprise gift."
The smile on Yuan Buwei's lips deepened: "Don't worry, it is absolutely unique and will impress you."

As an empire with a vast territory and ruling nearly a hundred planets in size, it is of course impossible for the crown prince to be registered as that simple. First of all, it is necessary to go through the three procedures of the emperor, the minister in power, and the referendum.
If it is an opponent? More than 80%, even the emperor cannot force the appointment. This was also an important reason why the third prince, Xiwen, had to manage his own image for many years when his elder brother was dead and his second brother was incompetent and he had an absolute advantage.
Not only the crown prince, but even the emperor is not an absolute dictatorship, but to win the support of the people.
If the emperor made a big mistake, the people of the empire could also initiate protests, and if there were too many opponents, the emperor would likely step down. Back then, the emperor who insisted on gene blending, but the experiments revealed hidden dangers and led to the collapse of many people's genes, stepped down because of this.
This is also the "justice" and "democracy" advertised by the empire.
However, even in the distant ancient times, those in power had too many means of playing with people's hearts, and it is the same now. When the original body was charged with treason, wasn't he also beaten and killed by the people of the empire? From beginning to end, they are tools and pawns used by people.
Therefore, apart from that unlucky emperor, since the imperial legislation, there has never been any opposition to the appointment of a crown prince, or? Which emperor was? Evicted? This law, which symbolizes justice, is nothing more than a decoration.
Even those mediocre crown princes in the past could pass these three procedures smoothly, not to mention the current high prestige and countless fans in the empire. The appointment was issued almost in the morning and passed in the afternoon.
At this time, according to the procedures, Yuan Weiwei is already considered the crown prince of the empire. The banquet held afterwards was just for the sake of momentum.
After all, with the strength of the empire, setting up a prince cannot be so shabby. There is still a sense of ceremony. This is also one of the means to demonstrate the strength of the empire.
The day after the three-way procedure was passed, the emperor held a grand banquet on an asteroid called "Huangtingxing" near the imperial capital.
As an asteroid that is exclusively owned by the imperial family and is never open to the public except for special festivals, the "Imperial Court Star" is tightly guarded, and the network signal is fully monitored by the mastermind of the Imperial Star Network. Let alone wanting to carry weapons secretly, even if Anyone who sends a communication here will be reviewed by the mastermind of Starnet first to ensure that the information does not involve imperial secrets before it can be passed.
Near the "Imperial Court Star", the largest military base in the empire is stationed, and airships can be mobilized at any time. At the same time, any unruly people? It is also difficult to pass through their defenses.
In a sense, this place can be described as an alternative "Garden of Eden", a place of absolute safety in the heart of the emperor.
Virtual fireworks bloomed in the sky, filling the dark planet with stars. Under the radiance of the sky, there are cheering crowds.
On this day, apart from the bigwigs in the imperial military and political circles, the ministers serving in the imperial capital, representatives of the various nobles, and many randomly selected civilians, all gathered here, and there were all kinds of people. Therefore, the scene was very lively, even a little too noisy.
As soon as the emperor appeared? He attracted everyone's attention. Immediately afterwards, their eyes "unconsciously" looked at the young man who came out after the emperor.
The empire puts the most emphasis on military affairs. Even the crown prince's crown uniform is 90% similar to the military uniform. The only difference may be that the fabric is more advanced, the patterns are more complicated, and the epaulets are different from the rank of the military.
The young man who appeared in front of the crowd was wearing a black uniform, with a faint gold border on the cuffs, and the dark gold buttons were buttoned to the top one by one. It seemed that there was not much difference from when he was wearing the military uniform in the past, but it was a bit less stern. Chilling, with a touch of elegance and calmness.
His usually somewhat casual black hair has been neatly groomed, revealing a broad forehead and sparse eyebrows, which naturally attracts people's attention. As soon as it appeared, it easily attracted everyone's attention.
Amidst the cheers of all eyes, the emperor made a cliché that has always been like this, and then he turned his eyes full of love and expectation to Yuan Buwei, and he beckoned? The crown prince's ribbon was handed over to him, which was regarded as a ceremony.
He patted the hand that he hadn't done before with concern, like every old father who reunited after a long absence, and said earnestly: "The crown prince of the empire symbolizes not only glory, but also a heavy responsibility. From now on In the future, you must lead by example, make contributions to the empire, and don't let down your status as the crown prince."
His gaze towards Yuan Buwei is no longer a hint, it can almost be called full of express.
... Therefore, the time to contribute to the empire to earn enough prestige is in front of you, this is the best opportunity!
However, no matter how the emperor made it clear, Yuan Buwei didn't seem to understand what he meant. Instead, he asked inexplicably: "Since this is the case, as the emperor, you should lead by example?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, although he felt that something was wrong, but under the attention of all the people, it was naturally impossible to refute. He nodded and said, "Of course. The interests of the empire always come first. This is the first constitution of the empire."
He felt that he didn't want to do it again? Regretted, unwilling? Handed over the principle of life essence, is it because he wants to seek his own personal gain? He couldn't help reminding him in a very cryptic manner, and sighed: "However, sooner or later, this empire will be handed over to you, and it will be the stage for you young people."
Yuan didn't listen carefully and nodded in agreement, then suddenly said:
"Then why can't it be now?"
emperor:"???"
He wondered if he had heard wrong.
Didn't you want to see it? His expression was confused, and he said patiently: "Since the interests of the empire come first, then, for the development of the empire and the future of all its people, surely you don't mind? Some small sacrifices?"
The emperor again: "???"
Every word he said was very simple, but the emperor couldn't understand it together.
Or? In other words, the emperor heard something, but he didn't dare to believe it.
Yuan Buwei smiled: "What I mean? It's very simple. The empire can develop better in my hands, and I can lead the empire to unprecedented heights. So, please be more sensible and take the initiative to abdicate to let the virtuous."
Originally, he didn't do it, but he didn't give him a chance to think about it, so he just spoke so bluntly. His tone was even very polite, as if he was just asking for a trifle
The surrounding hustle and bustle calmed down for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on the young man who uttered the astonishing words.
And he didn't realize it, just looked straight at? To the emperor's frightened and angry eyes, the eyes were extremely calm.
"To put it simply - the Empire, I want it!"
