Galactic Star Calendar January 18, 3034·Emperor Star
At this moment, the Imperial City Galaxy is filled with a complex atmosphere.
Logically speaking, today is the day when Qin Ming proclaims himself emperor and succeeds to the throne, so it should be very festive.
But not long ago, the civil war was defeated, more than 300,000 interstellar battleships were damaged, and three marshals died.
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the royal party.
This also greatly affected the atmosphere of the succession ceremony.
Qin Ming himself may not be in much of a celebrating mood. After seeing the process and ceremony, he cut off two-thirds of it.
Imperial Star·Royal Hall
This is a palace located on the highest mountain of the Imperial Star. The entire palace stands on the top of the mountain, majestic!
At the top of the palace is a huge throne.
At this moment, a ceremony is going on here.
Qin Ming was wearing the new emperor costume and was slowly walking towards an old man.
The old man is one of the most respected etiquette officials in the Xingyao Empire, and he is responsible for hosting this feast.
Next, after Qin Ming reads an oath, he will hand over the scepter and crown symbolizing imperial power to Qin Ming, and Qin Ming will officially proclaim himself emperor.
Become the new Star Emperor!
"…………
I, Qin Ming, as a member of the royal bloodline, took over the imperial power in times of crisis, and will surely lead the Xingyao Empire out of the quagmire and regain its glory!" Qin Ming put his hand on his chest and shouted at the throne.
Behind him, hundreds of officials were half-kneeling on the ground, waiting for the last moment to come.
On the side, Concubine Zhen had covered her face and was crying, with both joy and sadness.
She finally waited for the day when her son succeeded to the throne, but at the same time she also lost another precious son of hers.
Qin Ming, my mother believes in you, and you will definitely avenge your brother.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, a voice came from the door of the hall.
This sudden sound interrupted the entire ceremony.
Everyone looked at the door of the hall, and saw Prince Yan slowly walking in. With a slight smile, under the doubtful eyes of everyone, he passed through hundreds of officials and walked to Qin Ming and the ceremony officer.
middle.
Prince Yan looked at the scepter and crown in the hands of the ceremony officer, and then at Qin Ming who looked at him in surprise.
"Uncle... you?" Qin Ming looked at Prince Yan in confusion.
"Are you the only one worthy of being called emperor?" Prince Yan stepped forward and slapped Qin Ming directly on the face.
Qin Ming failed to stand firm and fell directly to the ground.
Everyone watching this scene was stunned.
"What do you mean!" Qin Ming covered his swollen face and looked at Prince Yan in shock.
Until now, he still didn't understand what was going on.
"I said, you are not worthy of being emperor!" Prince Yan looked at Qin Ming with disdain.
"I am a prince, I don't deserve to be emperor, how could you?" Qin Ming pointed at Prince Yan angrily.
Prince Yan sneered: "I personally led nearly 400,000 interstellar battleships to fight against 200,000 interstellar battleships, but in the end only a few interstellar battleships came back in despair.
If a waste like you becomes the emperor of the Xingyao Empire, you will definitely bring disaster to the country and the people!"
Seeing Prince Yan directly opening his scar, Qin Ming scolded with a dark face, "What on earth do you want to do!"
"What do I want to do?
According to the training of the royal family, if the heir to the throne is incompetent, his inheritance qualification can be directly disqualified and a direct relative of the royal family can be chosen to succeed the throne.
In this way, I... am the one who really should sit on the throne!" Prince Yan looked at Qin Ming with a sneer.
"Prince Yan...you...you can't do this! You can't do this! You clearly promised me before that you would support Ming'er to succeed to the throne!
How could you go back on your word!" Concubine Zhen stood up, walked up to Prince Yan, and grabbed Prince Yan's arm directly.
Prince Yan, who had shown great affection to her in the past, now unceremoniously threw away her arm.
"Concubine Zhen, I never promised you this.
On the contrary, you, as a princess, do not know how to love yourself, and after the death of the late emperor, you actually had an affair with others!" Prince Yan pointed at Concubine Zhen angrily.
Concubine Zhen was stunned and didn't understand what Prince Yan wanted to do.
When it comes to having an affair, it was Prince Yan who had an affair with him.
"If you want to see the evidence, then I will show you the evidence!" Prince Yan raised his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in front of everyone.
That picture instantly stirred up waves.
It was an unsightly image, one woman and many men, and the heroine in it was none other than Concubine Zhen!
Seeing this, Concubine Zhen turned pale and kept shaking her head: "Impossible! Impossible! I didn't do this, I didn't!"
Suddenly, she woke up!
Pointing at Prince Yan in disbelief: "You...you are the one who trapped..."
She remembered that when she had a private meeting with Prince Yan, Prince Yan would often bring some fun drugs, some of which would break into pieces after she took them, and she had no idea what happened.
It just feels like Prince Yan is unexpectedly powerful, like the God of War.
Now I understand, it is not that Prince Yan is mighty, but that Prince Yan has invited "foreign aid".
Prince Yan suddenly grabbed Concubine Zhen's chin and said, "Come here, take this unruly guy down with you.
She must tell who the person who committed adultery with her is to satisfy my hatred for humiliating my brother!"
When Prince Yan was speaking, he used his hand hard enough to crush several bones in Concubine Zhen's jaw. Concubine Zhen was unable to speak at all and could only look at Prince Yan with bloodshot eyes and anger.
The man I once thought I fell in love with.
"How dare you! Come here and capture this traitor and traitor for me!" Qin Ming stood up and shouted loudly.
But there was no movement either inside or outside the palace.
"Come here! Come here! What are you doing? Didn't you hear me calling you?" Qin Ming pointed at the guards in the palace.
But the princes in the palace didn't seem to hear it.
"Get the second son for me!" Prince Yan spoke. At this moment, the guards in the palace acted immediately. They stepped forward and pushed Qin Ming to the ground, pointing the laser gun at Qin Ming's head.
Qin Ming looked at these personal guards in astonishment.
He understood that Prince Yan had already prepared this.
"Where are the princes! Come and protect us! Protect us!" Qin Ming's shouts at this moment were full of fear.
But the officials in the hall made no move. Some of them looked calm, some were panicked, and some were hesitant.
"Your Highness, you'd better save some energy." Prince Yan looked at Qin Ming with a sneer.
Qin Ming glared at Prince Yan: "Don't be arrogant, no other part of the empire will agree with your actions.
You are treasonous!"
Prince Yan squatted in front of Qin Ming, looked at the person in front of him, and shook his head: "Have you forgotten what I just told you? I'm going to destroy you. If I destroy you legitimately, no one will dare to say anything.
"
"Hahahaha, destroy me? Don't think I really don't understand!
If you want to depose the heir, you must have the support of at least two-thirds of the existing star governors and marshals!" Qin Ming glared at Prince Yan.
"You have a pretty good memory.
But now that the North Wind Star Region and the Chuhe Star Region have turned against each other, there are two less governors and one marshal.
Not counting the two new marshals you brought up, Huang Zhixiong is still dead, so there are three less.
In fact, there are currently only six Star Governors and six Imperial Marshals.
The total number of votes is only twelve, which means I only need eight votes to destroy you!"
Prince Yan stood up, looked at everyone in the palace, and shouted: "Who is willing to support the abolition of the prince's right to be the heir!"
"Governor of the Pegasus Star Territory, support His Royal Highness the Prince! Please give up His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" A governor stood up.
"The Governor of the Cang Yue Star Territory supports His Highness the Prince."
"Governor of the Blue Star Territory, support His Highness the Prince."
"Imperial Marshal Zhong Yan supports His Highness the Prince."
"Imperial Marshal Lu Dafeng supports His Highness the Prince."
As noble people stood up one by one, Qin Ming's face was covered with sweat.
The appearance of these two people made Qin Ming unbelievable.
"Imperial Marshal Qin Longcheng, support His Highness the Prince." Qin Longcheng took a step forward and clenched his hands into fists.
"Qin Longcheng! You actually betrayed me!" Qin Ming looked at Qin Longcheng with a contemptuous smile in disbelief.
"Governor of the Xingyao Central Star Territory, support the marshal!" Another person came out in disbelief.
That family that Qin Ming thought was always on his side!
"Seven votes. I'm sorry, Your Highness." Prince Yan sneered, and suddenly his voice trembled: "Governor of the Xueyan Star Territory, I support the abolition of the second prince Qin Ming's status as heir!"
At this moment, Qin Ming felt like the sky was falling.
