"Remember, you must not leak a word of what I have told you today. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”Gao Hai picked up the teacup on the table and warned.
"Don't worry, Chief Gao. I wouldn't dare to say anything even if I had ten guts!" The eunuch smiled obsequiously.”
Gao Hai glanced at him and said,"This way, I can rest assured. After the matter is done, you will receive many benefits."”
The eunuch was ecstatic." Eunuch Xie, I'll go through fire and water for you."”
Gao Hai looked at the other party who kept nodding and bowing to him. He waved his hand impatiently and said,"Alright, alright. You can go down first!"”
"Yes, yes, then I won't disturb your peace.”With that, the eunuch bowed and left the door.
Gao Hai's expression darkened as he watched the other party retreat. Ever since the court meeting last year, he had deeply realized the importance of military power. He could not forget the torment of those few days. The feeling that his head could be moved at any time was like a steel knife on his neck! And the person holding the steel blade was the current emperor whom he served. All of this stemmed from the military power in the hands of the emperor. This was a violent organ of the country that had been firmly controlled by the emperors of all generations. No matter how much money and status you had, you were like an ant in the eyes of the emperor.
Gao Hai didn't want to be an ant. After tasting the taste of power, he liked the feeling of being in control of life and death. However, he suddenly realized that there was a person above his head who was silently watching his every move like a god, and would take everything away from him at any time. He began to plan. He would discuss with the other eunuchs how to kill the emperor and depose the emperor, and he would also have to find a way to obtain the support of the army.
Thinking of the army, Gao Hai was furious," The group of martial artists was simply impervious to oil and salt. Regardless of whether he attacked them from the side, enticed them, or coerced them, the military center represented by the Bureau of Military Affairs and the General Staff Office had always been disdainful of them. " Humph! Humph!" In this era, they were still clinging to the so-called 'loyalty to the monarch and the country.' Did they not know that the military expenses were all in the hands of the miscellaneous family? If you piss me off, I'll cut off your military pay and see how you're going to feed the Federation's million-strong army.
However, thinking of this, Gao Hai shuddered and quickly retracted this thought," Damn it, if he really did this, wouldn't he directly fall out with Tian Zi? At that time, those martial artists would not be merciful. Sigh! At the end of the day, it was still the result of not having any soldiers. No matter how much money he earned, he was just a fat sheep in the eyes of others. In that case, those aristocratic families who could cover the sky with one hand were all pigs raised by the emperor. Thinking of this, Gao Hai couldn't help but shiver, hurriedly shaking his head in denial," No, if that was the case, why would Tian Zi allow them to devour the Federation's production resources for so many years? This was related to the lifeline of the country!
After drinking the tea in his cup, Gao Hai pulled back his thoughts and said," No matter what, it was already impossible for him to turn back. Now, he would start with the Zhujin City's Imperial Guards.
When Liu Yu returned to the Jiaofang Palace, she saw the Emperor and Empress discussing something. "Your son pays his respects to Imperial Father and Imperial Mother!”
"It's my son! No need to be so polite. Are you done with today's classes?”Tian Zi smiled when he saw Liu Yu.
"Yes, Imperial Father. Your son has just returned from Eastern Light Hall.”
The empress beside him also said,"Yu 'er, you've worked hard today. Hurry up and sit down!"”
"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Mother!"
Seeing Liu Yu sit down, Tian Zi said seriously,""Yu 'er, you also know that there have been 88 generations of emperors in the Federation, but there are very few people! Your Imperial Father, including the late High Emperor and Retired Emperor, has always been a single heir. Thus, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, your mother and I have decided to officially make you the Crown Prince.
Liu Yu was at a loss when he heard this. He knew that this day would come sooner or later. However, when this matter really came, it still made him feel uneasy. Tian Zi looked at Liu Yu's panicked expression and softened his tone,"
"My son, I know this a little too early, but you are naturally intelligent and knowledgeable. I believe that you can shoulder this heavy burden.
Tian Zi's words enlightened Liu Yu. That's right! Wasn't his ambition and the agreement with his friends all for this moment? Moreover, he was the only descendant of his father. If he didn't take on this heavy responsibility, who would? Thinking of this, Liu Yu's nervous expression was gradually replaced by a determined expression. She stood up and bowed to Tian Zi,"
"Imperial Father, your son is willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility!”
Tian Zi looked at Liu Yu's determined expression and comforted her,""Good, this is my royal son, this is the descendant of my Liu Clan.”
The next day, the Emperor Liu Hong summoned all the civil and military officials and announced in Hanyuan Palace that he would confer the title of Crown Prince Liu Yu. The ceremony would be held ten days later. Other than the Great General and Grand Commandant who were the Emperor's trusted aides, the other ministers were all shocked, but they immediately bowed to the Emperor and said,"
"Your Majesty is wise. We agree to make the eldest son the crown prince.”
Although the Emperor's announcement was a little sudden, as the only heir of the current emperor, who else could be conferred the title of Crown Prince other than Liu Yu? The ministers who had long known this would not shout out stupid words asking the Emperor to think twice.
Gao Hai, who was standing beside the emperor, narrowed his eyes and said," Finally, they had arrived. Then, my plan could begin.
From then on, the federal government announced to the world that the Emperor of the Chinese Federation had officially conferred his eldest son, Liu Yu, as the Crown Prince of the Chinese Federation. The official ceremony would be held in Luoyang in ten days. At that time, all countries would be invited to attend the ceremony and announce it to the world.
Holy Britannia Empire, Pandraken, Palace of Aries. A boy and a girl were surrounding a young woman, playing with the baby in the woman's arms. The surrounding servants stood respectfully on both sides of the four of them. One could tell that they were of noble status.
At this moment, the steward of the Palace of Aries came to the four of them and bowed respectfully."Greetings, Your Highnesses!" Then, he said to the young woman,"Your Highness, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just sent news from the Chinese Federation that the emperor will officially confer the crown prince on the eldest son of the emperor in ten days. At that time, all countries will be invited to attend the ceremony.”
The young woman was Mariana. She was carrying Lelouch, who had just turned one year old. After hearing the butler's words, she teased,"I see! However, I heard that the prince is only six years old. He was already crowned as the crown prince so early.”
A girl who was teasing Lelouch raised her head and said,""The Chinese Federation, it seems that their emperor only has one prince. He is so pitiful! I don't want to have so many brothers and sisters to play with.”
Another little boy also replied,"Yeah, why didn't Tian Zi give birth to more children?”
Mariana didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard the innocent words of the two little fellows."Now, Cornelia, Clovis. The Chinese Federation had always been a single-lineage family. This was not a strange thing.”
It turned out that these two children were the second princess of the Empire," Cornelia Li Brittania ", and the third prince," Clovis La Brittania ". Compared to most of the other royal families who were biased against the Aries Palace, these two princes were very fond of Mariana, who was born as a commoner.
Mariana smiled as she dealt with the two little fellows. She asked the butler,"Mr. Edward, may I know who the Empire will send to the Chinese Federation?”
"Your Highness, I don't know about that. However, I heard that His Majesty intends to send His Highness Schneizer to the Federation.”The butler bowed again and told him what he knew.
When " Schnezer " heard this name, Mariana gradually frowned.
