Section 299
"Compared with the overthrow of the emperor by the commander-in-chief of the empire, the wise and intelligent crown prince replacing the incompetent emperor is not only reasonable and legal, but also has precedents, and is easier to gain support from the empire, leaving the ministers without any moral burden."
If he is still the commander-in-chief, it would be much more difficult to persuade those imperial nobles and ministers to stand with him in "rebellion".
It is not that these imperial nobles and ministers have high ethics, but the risks and public condemnation of breaking the rules are incomparable to those of making trouble within the rules. One is "minister usurping the throne" and the other is "son inheriting the father's business".
And this is the importance of status.
The emperor's face has changed.
He clearly realized that when he used the identity of the eldest prince as bait to lure Yuan Buwei into the trap, the other party had already thrown out the original liquid of life as bait to lure him.
As for who is more skilled? Now it seems that the result seems to be obvious.
Even if he said in front of everyone that Yuan Buwei was not the real eldest prince, I am afraid no one would believe him. In such a situation, his words would only be interpreted as a lie - because he did not want to be overthrown by his son, he made up such an absurd lie!
He looked at Yuan Buwei with more fear.
If even this point was considered by the young man in front of him, and he deliberately chose this day, this critical time point to attack, it would be a bit scary.
"I admit that I underestimated you greatly." The emperor tried to calm down his fluctuating mood, and his expression showed an unprecedented coldness. The previous kind mask disappeared in an instant, "But if you think that you can win just by doing this, you are too naive."
Through legal means within the rules of the empire, using the method of public recommendation to make the emperor step down and take the throne, this move is indeed beautiful. Even the emperor himself has no way to redeem and reverse the situation in an instant.
But it doesn't matter. If you can't win within the rules, then use means outside the rules!
Didn't the third prince Xiwen have a good demonstration? As long as you destroy the opponent, it will be your victory.
"You may have hope of success in other places, but you should never choose "Royal Court Star"."
-This is the territory that all previous emperors have absolute control over.
"Mastermind."
The emperor called out softly, and suddenly took a few steps back, just stepping into the pre-set safe zone. He stared at Yuan Buwei coldly, his voice as cold as ice.
"Start the first-level ban and destroy the enemy in front of you."
As the emperor's voice fell, the originally noisy scene was replaced by a sound like an earthquake.
No, it's not an illusion. The earth is really shaking!
In the eyes of everyone who was horrified, the ground under their feet rumbled and trembled. Then, on the high platform, the silver metal plate under the emperor's feet turned over, and a huge monster stood up from the crawling.
After a dazzling combination of parts, the emperor landed steadily in the central control room, and this giant-like huge mecha raised his palm under his command, and the gun barrel in the palm was aimed at Yuan Buwei. At the same time, many people were controlled within the threat range.
——This is actually an extremely rare SS-type mecha that has only been heard of in rumors.
Everyone has no doubt that even S-level new humans will be doomed to face such an attack. And they have even less power to resist.
——"Huangting Star" is a special place. Those who came to participate in the enthronement ceremony did not bring even the simplest guns, let alone pure defensive equipment. For a time, the strong sense of crisis made them sweat.
Who would have thought that the royal family actually had such a trump card hidden, and they would go out just to deal with one person?
This is not an exaggeration, but a deterrent to everyone! Tell them not to challenge the emperor's bottom line again! Even if the emperor used means beyond the rules today, who would dare to talk nonsense afterwards?
Yuan Buwei turned his back to everyone, slightly raised his head and looked at the deterrent mecha, without moving.
From behind, he looked like he was scared silly.
"Boom!"
The barrel of the huge mecha lit up, and nothing happened. The tense people were stunned for a moment, and then reacted. The sound just now was wrong!
Yuan Buwei, who had just made a joke and dubbed a sound, said nonchalantly: "I didn't expect that the main body of the Empire Star Network Mastermind would be here, and it was controlling the intelligent core of an SS-type mecha... But, is it misfiring? Is it stuck? Is it out of order?"
The emperor also felt something was wrong. He tried to command the mastermind, but didn't get any response.
After a long time, only a burst of mechanical voices came out intermittently: [Warning, warning, the network has been invaded, the intelligent core has been corroded, and the initial highest command will be activated. In order to preserve the intelligent core, all external links will be disconnected. Please be ready to leave: 5, 4...]
Emperor: "???"
...Fuck!
So, the people who were originally terrified saw the mecha standing there stupidly, like a stiff puppet. The attack that they thought was going to take them away in one wave has not arrived yet, and everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.
The scene suddenly became inexplicably awkward.
In the countdown of the mechanical sound, the Empire Star Network was instantly closed, and all the people who were surfing the network were pushed out, and the huge mecha was scattered, all the parts were separated again, and the emperor in the central control room fell from midair.
The A-level physique and the exoskeleton armor that emerged on the surface of the body protected the emperor well, so that the emperor would not fall off the mecha and die tragically. That would be remembered by the history of the empire.
Just half a second before the emperor landed, Yuan Buwei had already left the original place. He was as fast as lightning, leaving only a fleeting afterimage behind him.
When he came in front of the emperor, he raised his right hand and bent his elbow. An elbow strike just hit the weak point of the exoskeleton armor on the emperor's chest, and the unparalleled power hidden in this beast-like body surged out!
With the sound of cracking, the exoskeleton armor made of the highest grade alloy actually cracked and cracked, and the emperor was thrown to the ground, and he couldn't get out!
What a terrible power!
After the second evolution of the life essence, Yuan Buwei's body is comparable to the body of some demons in the fantasy world, and can be called a walking self-propelled armor.
So much so that he, who has always been based on skills, couldn't help but become much simpler and rougher when using this body.
The people around him suffocated for a while, and then there were sounds of sucking in cold air, and the temperature of Huangting Star became warmer.
Yuan Buwei was too lazy to dig the emperor out, just looking down at him and letting out a long sigh.
"Alas, you were the first to break the rules. Then don't blame me for not following the rules :)." He casually said something that people in this world didn't know whether they could understand or not. He suddenly raised one arm high, which was like a signal, and also like a flag flying in front of countless people.
The emperor's eyes suddenly froze.
In the originally vast starry sky, one flying ship after another broke through the defense line that should have been monitored by the star network main brain, and came in a mighty manner, like countless ships sailing on the sea. It was like a storm at the end of the sea, destroying everything in front of it.
And the young man in front of him was the lighthouse guiding all ships and the god leading the infinite storm.
They fell from the sky behind him, like stars descending from the starry sky, and would obey the orders of the Lord of the Stars and destroy all enemies who dared to be his enemy!

Chapter 250 Rebels 34
In one day, the empire changed.
The emperor who once held the power of the entire empire became a prisoner, while Yuan Buwei, the thief of the country, was crowned as the emperor in the public eye.
And all this was because the emperor was smart enough to give him the status of the prince of the empire.
——Before that, Yuan Buwei's planned route was to start from the local forces of the deserted star domain such as the abandoned star, gradually eroding the deserted star domain, becoming the uncrowned king of the deserted star domain, and then killing back to the empire. After learning about the existence of the exile star, at most, before killing back to the empire, he would add a branch line to attack the exile star.
If he discovered some shocking secrets on the Exile Star, such as the emperor secretly supporting taboo experiments that violate moral ethics, then he might be able to use this as a knife to disrupt the empire first, and lay a good foundation for his return to the empire.
However, even Yuan Buwei did not expect that the temptation of curing gene collapse was so great for the emperor that the other party was willing to use the position of prince as bait and abandoned a biological son just to make him return to the empire. Such chips are not light, and can be called a shocking gamble.
But this does not mean that the emperor is stupid. If Yuan Buwei had not changed the core in this body, and it was still the original body Wu Heng, the emperor's plan would most likely not fail. He knew too much about that upright, pure, stubborn and rigid guy, so he used such a trick of "moving people with emotions" instead of "luring with benefits" in a targeted manner.
After all, the position of the prince is a false title, and so is the position of the crown prince. As long as the emperor is willing, he can find an excuse to abolish it at any time in the future. Otherwise, how could there be only one special case of the emperor stepping down early in the years since the founding of the empire?
Under normal circumstances, without overwhelming interests, how could so many imperial officials disregard the differences between their parties and the grievances between their families, unite together, twist into a rope, betray the emperor and choose the crown prince, just to win a chance that may not succeed? Unless the emperor himself has failed to the extreme and stood on the road of being an enemy of the whole world.
——The emperor certainly does not think that he is such a loser. In fact, since he came to power, the empire has been in the upper hand in most of the wars against the Star Alliance.
Therefore, when choosing to enthrone Yuan Buwei as the crown prince to further win him over, the emperor never thought that this would become a breakthrough for the other party and make him the second "special case" among the emperors of the empire.
Thinking about who took the initiative to admit his identity as a prince in front of everyone, the emperor felt that he had "ruined his own place". He really had to bear this black and round pot himself.
But even though he was defeated, he still failed to understand the reason - the reason why the imperial ministers worked together to dethrone him.
Being imprisoned in the palace of "Imperial Court Star", the emperor thought hard and couldn't come up with an answer.
Faint cheers came in from afar, and the clear moonlight slowly filtered through the dome, shining on the emperor squatting in the corner, casting a silent shadow on his gloomy and calm face.
He knew exactly what that cheer was about.
At this moment, less than a quarter of an hour after the previous emperor was ousted, the new emperor of the empire was crowned amidst the cheers of the crowd.
This is an emergency canonization, usually used when the previous emperor has just died, and a war breaks out or urgent matters need to be handled in the outside world, and an emperor must immediately step forward to coordinate, so the cumbersome procedures in the past no longer need to be followed. There is even a precedent of being crowned king directly at the funeral of the previous emperor.
But now, there is neither a military emergency nor anything special. More importantly... he is not dead yet!
This approach
