Chapter 265 The Donghua Empire’s Surname Is Chen! Still Named Jiang!
The intelligence networks of the top families in the Donghua Empire are not for nothing.
Ever since Chen Beiyuan appeared in the Magic City, he has become the focus of attention from all parties.
After all, no one knows what the young master of the Donghua Chen family is planning!
After Chen Beiyuan's accident, the Imperial Capital knew about it earlier than the Demonic Capital!
"Chen Beiyuan was ambushed!"
When this news was learned by the major families in the imperial capital, it immediately caused a big shock.
Even many high-ranking figures in the empire were shocked by the wanton behavior of some people in the Demon City.
To openly ambush the future military marshal of the empire was simply lawless and wanton.
This is not only a provocation to the entire Donghua Empire system, but also to all top family systems.
For those top aristocratic families, the issue of family inheritance is undoubtedly a top priority.
You kill my heir today, and I kill your heir the day after tomorrow. Is that okay? !
If you do this, everyone will stop playing.
This has already touched the red line.
Even the Jiang family, as the royal family of the empire, would not dare to play like this openly!
Moreover, it was Chen Beiyuan, the heir of the Donghua Chen family, who was in trouble.
Aren't you driving this behemoth crazy? !
However, another thing that happened next was like a powder keg, detonating and directly overshadowing Chen Beiyuan's ambush.
[The Commander-in-Chief of the Third Theater of the Empire, Chen Zheqing, sent troops directly without any decision-making orders from the empire or asking the imperial royal family for instructions. He dispatched the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fourth Army, with a total force of nearly 600,000, to surround the Demon City? ! 】
! ! !
Empire, royal palace.
Except Chen Zheqing, the head of the Chen family. The other heads of the top families who hold important positions in the empire gathered together.
In addition, there are also the main senior officials of various ministries, as well as other aristocratic families.
"What does Chen Zheqing want to do?! He mobilized troops to besiege the city without the decision of the empire. The third theater's surname is Chen?!"
"This is a mutiny!"
Zhang Jiajia's Zhang Zhong blushed and roared indignantly.
The Zhang family is one of the middle-ranking families in the empire, and its strength is one of the best among the middle-ranking families. They are very close to the royal family and belong to the imperial power party.
It is not a trivial matter for the Chen family to deploy troops to besiege the city.
Today you dare to mobilize troops to besiege the Magic City. Where will you dare to besiege tomorrow? !
Can't even think about it!
I can’t even think about it!
Military power is an extremely sensitive thing. If you, the Chen family, play like this, you clearly don't take the royal family, the Jiang family, seriously.
Everyone present knew very well that Zhang Zhong, the royal party's fierce performance at this moment, was the royal family's expression of dissatisfaction.
The Donghua Empire’s surname is Chen! Still named Jiang!
But the strange thing is that no matter how impassioned Zhang Zhong is, the rest of the imperial party agrees one after another.
The heads of the top aristocratic families standing at the front were all silent, looking at their noses and their noses, as if they were deaf.
Even Lin Xufeng, the head of the Lin family who had never dealt with the Chen family, did not jump out. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested.
Despite the quarrel among the people below, those top aristocratic families holding original stocks basically did not express their stance.
The emperor, who was sitting high on the throne, looked at the many silent old foxes below expressionlessly, with a hint of dissatisfaction flashing across his cold face.
The seemingly superior imperial power has been difficult to release. On the contrary, it has been resisted and provoked.
This is intolerable for any king who desires to dominate the world.
As the boss of the empire, the Jiang family has few of the top families under their control who are obedient, and they are all about to be ignored.
However, the emperor, who deeply espouses the power of power, will not take action personally even if he is dissatisfied, but will let others come forward.
Emperor, what you have to do is balance!
At this moment, Zhang Zhong, who was below, spoke fiercely, even talking about the Chen family's mutiny and lawlessness: "Even if something happens to Chen Beiyuan, the Chen family's reaction is too fierce, almost mutiny..."
"snort!"
A cold snort came from a very far away place, setting off rolling thunder, carrying a terrifying imperial power that seemed to be there but not at all:
"Then just think that my Chen family has rebelled. The empire can send a large army to suppress it. I, Chen Zheqing, will be waiting."
That domineering voice with a hint of imperial authority resounded throughout the palace, suddenly making everyone present change their expressions.
Zhang Zhong, who had been so impassioned just now, turned red as a pig's liver, his hair stood on end, his body was shaking crazily, and he couldn't even speak.
Send a large army to suppress it? !
If you want to suppress the third war zone controlled by the Chen family, you may not have to join the other eight war zones in the empire.
Is that okay? !
Are you going to fight a civil war here? !
He can't bear this charge!
When the time comes, a civil war is really triggered, and his Zhang family will be the first to be liquidated.
Compared to Zhang Zhong's horror, the heads of top families such as Bai Yinyun, Lin Xufeng, Wang Xuan, etc. were shocked by Chen Zheqing's cultivation.
Quasi-Emperor!
Moreover, it is not the kind that has just broken through, it seems that it has already made many breakthroughs and has a deep foundation.
No wonder he has been staying in the Third War Zone during this period and rarely shows up. It turns out that he is stabilizing his cultivation!
Chen Zheqing is only forty years old this year, and he has already broken through to quasi-emperor and eighth-level war emperor, which is probably just around the corner!
If it weren't for Chen Beiyuan's life and death being uncertain now, he would probably be a future eighth-grade war emperor.
From this point of view, the Donghua Chen family may be about to rise again.
No wonder Chen Zheqing dared to have such a domineering attitude.
Once the Chen family rises, the top combat power on paper will not be weaker than the Jiang family.
Thinking of this, the mood of the imperial high-level officials present can be said to be unpredictable.
Bai Yinyun, the head of the Bai family, who is related to the Chen family by marriage, is undoubtedly overjoyed.
Lin Xufeng, the head of the Lin family who has a grudge with the Chen family, is surprised and happy. He is surprised because the strength of the Chen family has skyrocketed too fast, which poses a great threat to the Lin family.
He is happy because he knows that his daughter was fooled by the little bastard Chen Beiyuan in the Magic City. If she happens to be pregnant and happens to inherit Chen Beiyuan's talent...
Then the Lin family will be able to get a "Lin Xiaoyuan".
It's not a big loss anyway.
Only the emperor who sits firmly on the throne has a colder and harder face, and a cold light flashes in his eyes. I don't know what he is thinking.
The Chen family's rise is too fast, coupled with its own military power, it is not a good thing for the royal Jiang family.
We have to find a way to suppress it.
Just when many powerful people in the palace who held the power of the empire were harboring evil intentions, thinking about many things, and making their own plans.
At this time, a palace eunuch was sweating and pale, and ran in hurriedly, regardless of the palace rules, and shouted anxiously:
"Your Majesty, it's not good. I just received an urgent report from the front line. Marshal Chen ordered the million-strong army guarding the border to start retreating, saying that they were going back to Beijing..."
