Therefore, from that generation, all princes were kept in the palace and were not allowed to participate in any government affairs. Only when the previous emperor passed away was the pre-designated prince ascended the throne. However, this method also has advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages are absolutely not

There will be a prince with great power to compete for the throne, but the disadvantage is that the new emperor has no experience in governing and has to rely more on his ministers in government affairs, resulting in the loss of power.

Fortunately, the Xia and Cheng families have always been divided and balanced the strength of their subordinates. Later, they joined the Fang family as a buffer and were always safe. This is why Fang Xiaoyu had never seen several princes.

However, this time, the emperor was assassinated and the prince was killed at the same time, which caused no designated candidate for the throne. At this time, the remaining princes had hope of succession, and the forces of all parties would naturally follow their own.

The need to support a certain prince to take office. Once the prince supported by various forces is different, it will create an opportunity for civil war.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "What is the situation in the capital now? Have the forces of all parties expressed their opinions?"

Xiahou Min shook his head and said, "The capital is now very chaotic. It is all relying on several large families to maintain order. All the troops in the capital have entered a state of high combat readiness. All forces are waiting and watching, and no one is willing to express their opinions first."

Fang Xiaoyu nodded. He also understood that whoever jumped out first at this time would be the target of public criticism. Perhaps the dirty water that assassinated the emperor would be poured on him.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I want to ask privately, don't you know which prince the marshal likes?"

Xiahou Min snorted, "No of these princes can make people feel comfortable. The second brother is cruel and ruthless, but the third brother is a playboy, and the fifth brother is even more unbearable. She is a purely drunkard. The only one of the princes is the best.

, a kind-hearted and smart person who is studious, and has a proper attitude to do things, but he was killed." Thinking of the murder of the emperor and the crown prince, Xiahou Min felt sad again.

After hearing Marshal Xiahou Min's analysis, Fang Xiaoyu didn't ask much, not to mention that he had not been angry with several grandpas and did not know how the family reacted, so Fang Xiaoyu had to get up and say goodbye.

Xiahou Min also stood up and said, "Since my nephew is leaving, I won't try to keep you. If you want to go to Beijing, be careful. I am afraid that the Cheng family will be unfavorable to you in this chaotic period."

Fang Xiaoyu was very grateful for Marshal Xiahou Min's concern. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "Marantor, I can't do anything about the Fang family, but regardless of whether we support the same prince, I hope our two families will not fight each other.

They are all the precious combat power of our Lanfang Empire. I don’t want to consume it in unnecessary civil wars, especially the navy.” Xiahou Min nodded in agreement, saying that no matter what the family’s choice, he will keep a close eye on the navy.

Don't let them intervene in domestic turmoil.

At this time, the major forces in the Lanfang Empire might have been fully prepared for the civil war, and there might be turmoil in the country soon. Under such circumstances, Marshal Xiahou Min's statement moved Fang Xiaoyu very much.

, He was unwilling to intervene in a possible civil war, hoping to retain vitality for the country. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu made a secret decision to keep the Imperial Navy from harm.

This time, the person who led the team to follow Fang Xiaoyu was Liu Mingzhao, the deputy commander of the Iron Blood Army. Seeing Fang Xiaoyu back to the residence arranged by the Imperial Navy for them, Liu Mingzhao immediately walked up and asked anxiously: "Young Master, what's going on?"

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "The situation was because I had heard a little, but it was all bad news. You told the brothers to strengthen their vigilance. Now the whole country is very unstable, so you should act carefully." Liu Mingzhao nodded without asking much questions.

The next morning, Fang Xiaoyu's fleet left Quanzhou Port and advanced towards Lushun Port. Since there was no railway in Quanzhou Port, Fang Xiaoyu now plans to go ashore from Lushun Port and make his own special train to Beijing, so that the speed can be faster, and the special train will be driven to Lushun

The port's order had already been sent to the Joint Staff by the cruiser's radio.

The fleet left Fang Xiaoyu and the Iron Blood Army's Crazy Leopard Corps at Lushun Port and headed north again, back to Vladivostok Port. As soon as they got off the ship, some Chinese personnel took Fang Xiaoyu and others to the train station and went straight to the station. They had already been waiting here.

special train.

This time, the special train that sent Fang Xiaoyu into Beijing was somewhat different from the comfortable and luxurious special train No. 1 used in the past. This is a special train No. 2 specially used for defense operations. The special train No. 2 is driven by two locomotives in front and rear, and the locomotives in front are in front.

A lightning-proof and bomb-proof flatbed truck and troubleshooter are also installed, which not only eliminates obstacles on the railway, but also detonates landmines in advance.

All the carriages are equipped with thick iron armor, and the windows of each carriage have blind-type iron grids that can be placed at any time. In the iron carriages of ten trains mixed in the middle are eight 105 mm howitzers and four

The chariot that was just tried to produce is used as a motorized force.

In addition, there are six railway armored vehicles connected to the special train, each of which can be disassembled and operated separately on the railway. There are well-covered rotating turrets on the tops, which are equipped with double-mounted machine guns.

And the cannon, and the armored vehicle are surrounded by small windows for internal members to shoot with light weapons. These equipment gives the No. 2 special train with invincible attributes under today's technological level.

Fang Xiaoyu walked into his bus carriage and found that East China Travel and Tobuer were sitting in the carriage. Fang Xiaoyu said in surprise: "Why are you here?"

East China Road: "The situation is too urgent. We hope to discuss with the young master the measures that the Chinese leader should take." Just as the East China Road was talking, the train had started slowly, and now it cannot be delayed for a minute.

I can only hold a meeting halfway through to unify my thoughts.

Fang Xiaoyu sat down and sighed, "It's so sudden. I just met Marshal Xiahou Min a few days ago and asked about the real situation. Marshal Xiahou Min said that the emperor was not seriously injured and unconscious, but was assassinated.

, the prince was also killed at that time."

"What?" The two of them screamed in unison when traveling to the East China. They never expected that the domestic situation had become so tense.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "I am very confused now. I am so anxious to enter Beijing. I want to discuss with my three grandfathers how we should go next."

A firm look appeared in the eyes of the East China Traveler, saying, "I didn't expect that the old man Xiahou Ying was killed first, which was considered a cheaper one, but I'm afraid Brother Zhao Quan will be sad." Because he was once betrayed by Xiahou Ying in the form of exchange of political interests.
