One hundred and two times of illegal passage;
When Hanyin saw the series of violations in her pendant, she almost fainted.
How did this bastard do so many things in just a few hours with her terminal? Moreover, there were several permissions in it that she didn't dare to use casually on weekdays!
And, he was right...
The terminal was stolen and used to commit crimes, and I have to bear the main responsibility. This is an indisputable major mistake. According to the regulations of the organization, I can almost commit suicide to repay Your Majesty's kindness.
Han Yin sat on the chair in a daze. When she looked up at Yang Ming again, her eyes were full of hatred.
"you!"
"What about me? Am I handsome?"
Yang Ming said with a smile:
"Don't worry, you can delete the terminal records. I saw the delete button before."
Hanyin cursed: "Our server will leave relevant data!"
"Tsk, you are worried about your personal safety, not the damage to the organization and the negative impact on His Majesty the Emperor."
Yang Ming's eyes became sharper:
"Where's your thought imprint? Hanyin?"
Han Yin was stunned for a moment , lowered her head and thought about something, and whispered: "I don't have a thought imprint. His Majesty disdains to use such means to control people's hearts. We are all embryos selected by His Majesty, and it was His Majesty who gave us the opportunity to be born."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I am loyal to our wise Majesty."
Hanyin almost cursed.
"Let's talk business. You can delete these records right now. This is not only to protect you and me, but also to save His Majesty the Emperor a lot of trouble."
Yang Ming spoke in a gentle voice, holding a miniature shock wave mine in his right hand, stretched out his arm, turned his head, closed his eyes, and detonated the shock wave mine.
With a muffled thud, Yang Ming's right hand immediately began to swell up in front of Han Yin's astonished gaze.
Yang Ming endured the pain and opened his right hand to scatter the fragments. He looked at his charred palm, his mouth twitched a few times, and began to wrap bandages around his entire body.
"Why are you still standing there?"
Yang Ming frowned and said, "The Council of Elders will soon go to the palace to force the emperor to abdicate. They have summoned all the super reformers. If you are truly loyal to the emperor, then do as I say, erase the records, and send me to the palace."
Han Yin bit her lips lightly.
The woman made a quick decision and sent several messages in succession, simultaneously deleting all traces on the server and the terminal.
Yang Ming continued to play self-destruction.
Unfortunately, the explosives he could get were of limited power, and in the end, they could only barely create a layer of charred dead skin on the surface of his body.
Pretending to be injured is barely enough.
A hovercraft soon drove to the hotel entrance. Hanxiang pushed the hoverwheelchair, pushed Yang Ming into the back seat of the hovercraft, and rushed to the palace together.
On the way, Yang Ming suddenly asked, "Ms. Hanyin? Didn't you report our location to your organization before?"
"I reported it, what's wrong?"
Yang Ming smiled and asked, "Why haven't they come to see us in the past few hours?"
Hanxiang was stunned for a moment and fell into deep thought while sitting in the passenger seat.
Yang Ming looked out the window. The old-fashioned, square buildings of the Imperial Star diverted his wandering thoughts and vision.
…
The old emperor is having a headache now.
Who is causing trouble?
Who is behind this?
Not only did he blow up the white ghost that he had just used, but he also captured Elder Pison. Then, several elders' homes were robbed and their safes were carried away. The entire Council of Elders was in a state of panic.
It's a complete plan that is linked together and has been carefully calculated.
He, the emperor, and the Council of Elders were deeply involved.
At this moment, the Council of Elders thought that it was he, the emperor, who had raised the butcher knife, and only he, the emperor himself, knew that the measures he had taken against the Council of Elders could be summed up in eight words:
Make a fuss about the enemy and take it step by step.
Directly replacing a large number of seats in the Senate will only create nationwide political panic, with the negative impact far outweighing the positive impact.
The old emperor originally planned to take ten years to gradually take back political power and restore the imperial authority.
——Complete imperial power should be the basis for obtaining all rights to control the 'Empire's Entire Defense System'.
But after a sleep, the old emperor suddenly discovered that everything was speeding up crazily.
The Council of Elders is now like a train on fire, heading headlong into the abyss ahead.
Who started this fire?
White ghost?
How could he, just one person, make such a big fuss?
The old emperor looked to the side and waved slowly. Several personal maids immediately trotted forward and knelt in front of the old emperor.
"Is the Royal Guard Knight Hanton seriously injured?"
The maid hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Viscount Hanton is on his way here. After the explosion, he was rescued by our people and taken to a nearby hotel."
The old emperor said, "Show me how he's injured."
The maid quickly displayed Yang Ming's injured body on the projection screen. The old emperor took a few glances, turned his head and retched twice, then waved his hands vigorously.
The old emperor fell into thought again.
What is going on?
The old emperor asked, "Have you checked the memory of the murderer who sold the bomb?"
"We have already checked it out, Your Majesty," the maid said hurriedly, "He received a direct order from the Council of Elders. The order was issued through Elder Pisen's single-line communication method. The bomb came from a package."
"Is this confirmed?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. We did not conduct a normal interrogation. The situation was urgent, so we directly copied and digitized his brain. We are now conducting a normal interrogation. The two testimonies corroborate each other and have confirmed that the facts are correct."
"Where is that Pison now?"
"We have located Elder Pisen's whereabouts in a warehouse... The latest news is that Elder Pisen has been captured, but there are problems with his mental state, which is a bit like the symptoms of brain atrophy..."
"snort!"
His Majesty the Emperor snorted coldly, and several maids dared not breathe.
Outside the hall, a maid ran over with her skirt in hand and reported, "Your Majesty, the three highest-ranking generals in the military want to see you."
The old emperor said, "Let the three of them come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the simulated landscape outside the palace gate began to fluctuate slightly, and three military leaders rushed into the hall in a hurry.
"Your Majesty! Please board the Imperial Star immediately!"
"The Council of Elders has mobilized all the super-transformers. Currently, more than 200 super-transformers have gathered at the gate of the palace. The elders of the Council of Elders who are stationed on the Imperial Star and the nobles are on their way!"
"Your Majesty! The Council of Elders has not yet conducted a secondary ideological transformation for the Super Reformers. I'm afraid they are going to harm you, Your Majesty!"
“That’s enough!”
The old emperor cursed angrily, and the three old generals immediately lowered their heads.
The old emperor cursed: "If they really want to rebel, do you three dare to come down?"
"Your Majesty!" The military leader said excitedly, "We are willing to sacrifice our lives and shed our blood for you! Our loyalty to you stems from our faith in the Imperial Star and our yearning for you!"
The old emperor looked at the old man speechlessly, stood up irritably, and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
"Your Majesty, the army is loyal to you and is ready to obey your call at any time!"
"But Your Majesty, please forgive our worries. In an area like the Imperial Palace Module where fleet operations cannot be carried out, your most powerful invincible fleet cannot be effective. However, the hundreds of super modifiers controlled by the Council of Elders can easily destroy the module's defense system."
"Now please make your decision."
A slightly older maid appeared outside the door and bowed her head to report: "Your Majesty, the chief elder has arrived outside the gate of Palace No. 6. A total of 230 current elders, retired elders, and 126 noble representatives have gathered. The palace module self-defense system has been activated. A total of 320 super reformers are protecting these elders."
An old general angrily cursed: "What a bunch of bastards! They are trying to force the emperor to abdicate! To force Your Majesty to compromise!"
The old emperor stopped pacing, raised his head and took a deep breath.
There are a total of 356 great nobles, and the political influence radiating from the Imperial Star almost affects the entire empire.
Yes, the aristocracy is the empire's greatest evil.
This is a question that any citizen of the Empire who has received compulsory education can answer.
But the essence of the empire's system is based on the aristocracy's control over social resources. Only with the protection of the aristocracy can the imperial power stand firmly in the galactic human civilization environment where the trend of democratic thought is surging.
The Empire is wary of the New Federation because the ideas it spreads can shake the foundations of the Empire.
The empire is wary of domestic public opinion because the power that can subvert the imperial system will not come from outside, but only from within the empire.
"Heh," the old emperor sneered and said calmly, "Let the great elder come in."
The middle-aged maid bowed her head, turned around and left in a hurry.
"Move some seats for the three generals," the old emperor calmly sat back in his chair, leaning against the cushions, supporting his temple with one finger, "I want to see what surprise this great elder wants to give me."
However, a few minutes later.
"Your Majesty, the Great Elder... He refused to enter and claimed that he was guilty. Your Majesty, please punish all the elders in the Council of Elders."
Ping!
The crystal cup in the emperor's hand was smashed to the ground.
The three highest military commanders each smiled bitterly.
What's this?
This is a strategy of forcing the emperor to abdicate in order to seek pardon in order to gather collective strength.
The advantage of this method is that no matter what kind of crime they committed, they can be exempted from punishment after the emperor signs the pardon order.
The disadvantages of this method are also obvious. The emperor will certainly settle the score later, and the Council of Elders will eventually have to sacrifice a few powerful elders to appease the emperor.
The old emperor sneered and said, "Do they still regard me, the emperor of the Sherman Empire, as a worthy emperor?"
Another middle-aged maid appeared at the door: "Your Majesty! Six princes, twelve princes, and three princesses are outside Palace Gate No. 3, asking to enter. They seem to be here to plead for mercy from the Council of Elders."
"Let them in."
The old emperor slowly sat up straight and said calmly, "Go get my formal suit, the one I wore to commemorate the ancestors of my Sherman family."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
"The Council of Elders, forcing the emperor to abdicate?"
In the back seat of the hovercraft, Yang Ming was stunned when he heard the news.
When he came to his senses, he was immediately impressed by the great elder's courage and reaction speed.
Now all parties have determined that there must be an external force that is adding fuel to the fire and intensifying the conflict between the imperial power and the Council of Elders.
Falling behind step by step, the Council of Elders has lost the initiative, and the old emperor has more cards in his hand.
"This is a brilliant move," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Our Emperor does not want to cause turbulent turmoil in the empire's political arena. The Council of Elders is sure of this, and all of them are going all in."
Han Yin glared at him fiercely and said in a deep voice: "The most troublesome thing now is the group of super reformers. They are all gathered outside the gate of Palace No. 6, and most of them have their own armed forces."
"Don't you have any defenses against super-changers?"
"Your Majesty has summoned these Super Transformers to become your helpers after they have undergone the transformation of their thought imprints," Han Yin raised her hand to support her forehead. "It seems that there are quite a few Super Transformers whose thought imprints are not only loyal to the Empire, but also to the Council of Elders."
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Ms. Hanyin."
"What are you going to do again?!"
"Please ask His Majesty if he needs my help. I can help him deal with these elders and those super-transformers."
Han Yin turned her head and looked at Yang Ming.
The palace guard who was driving raised his head and glanced at the rearview mirror, subconsciously wanting to complain, "Who is so arrogant?"
White ghost.
That's okay.
"Are you sure? This is not a trivial matter. It concerns the stability of the empire!"
"Of course I am sure," Yang Ming turned his head and looked out the window, and suddenly said, "But before that, we still have to solve some problems... parking."
The guard immediately pulled back the square rudder, and the hovercraft "jumped out" of the traffic flow by itself and braked suddenly in the emergency lane above.
Yang Ming moved the bandage wrapped around his right arm, opened the skylight of the hovercraft, and said to Han Yin:
“Evacuate the residents and pedestrians on these roads as soon as possible, otherwise I cannot guarantee that there will be no accidental injuries. Also, remember to testify for me that all my subsequent actions will be legitimate defense.”
"What?"
Yang Ming raised his chin towards the building in front of him on the left, then adjusted his position and jumped out of the hovercraft.
They were traveling in a suspended pipe leading to the palace module. Above and below the pipe were crisscrossed passageways, and around it were high-rise buildings filled with civil servants.
Han Yin keenly caught a few figures standing on the roof of a residential building, one of whom seemed to be holding a laser cannon...
Sniper?
The hover car sank suddenly, but Yang Ming jumped up, easily knocked open the glass above the hover pipe, and stood steadily on top of the pipe.
Yang Ming looked around and curled his lips slightly.
Twelve strong biological energy reactions, these are the twelve super reformers who were transferred to the Imperial Star by the Great Elder and who are not officially registered.
Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to force him to abdicate and solve his problem directly?
The Great Elder really had a good plan.
Buzz!
The air was ionized into faint fragments of light, and a laser cannon carried on the shoulder of a sturdy man sprayed out a deep purple high-energy ion beam.
Yang Ming stood still, his whole body enveloped by the diffused blood-red light film. He absorbed the ion beam steadily, and spider-web cracks hundreds of meters long appeared on the arched reinforced glass of the suspension driveway under his feet.
Are you bullying him because he has no equipment?
Yang Ming's muscles suddenly swelled, and the reinforced glass under his feet shattered directly. His body was like a human cannonball, with several sound barriers, and he rushed straight to the roof of the next door!
Twelve super reformers act at the same time!
The lightsaber trembled, the defensive light shield was activated, the genetic enhancement potion swallowed in advance began to take effect, the high-frequency vibration ship-cutting sword was instantly activated, four people attacked head-on from the roof, and eight people on hoverboards surrounded them on both sides!
Yang Ming plunged into their encirclement!
