After Elaine, Roger and Roy finished discussing, they decided to immediately mobilize all the forces under their control and besiege the Ice Palace before Rubin's large army arrived.
"What if other nobles don't join us?" Roy asked worriedly.
"We announced to the public that the emperor was poisoned this time, and the person who did it was Luo Tian. He intended to usurp the throne, and he teamed up with Rubin to enter the palace and imprison the emperor. We sent troops to suppress the rebels and rescue the emperor. This way we have a legitimate reason." Elaine said.
"Mom, this is a great idea." Roger praised.
"Roy, you must stand on the side of Roger and me. Success or failure depends on this. Think about it, Luo Tian is not my child. He has been neglected by me since he was a child, and you and Roger always bully him. Wouldn't he bear a grudge against these things? Once he becomes emperor, he will surely double his revenge for the injustice he suffered in his childhood. Then our family will suffer a devastating disaster, and we may even be sent to be made into human batteries. Then everything will be over." Elaine saw Roy's hesitation and advised.
Luo Jie also said, "What the Queen Mother said is right. I am the eldest son, and the throne is originally mine. I can't let Luo Tian get it for free! Roy, brother has been waiting for ten years! I have thought about it. When I become the emperor, I will be the emperor for ten years, and then pass it to you. This power will always belong to us brothers. If Luo Tian becomes the emperor, only death will be waiting for us. Do you understand?"
Luo Yi felt that what his mother and brother said made sense. He didn't have a close relationship with Luo Tian and didn't know what he was thinking. He had formed an alliance with Luo Tian before because he couldn't stand his brother's arrogance, but his mother and brother were family after all. Who knew what Luo Tian would do to him when he became emperor?
Thinking of this, Roy nodded and said, "We are a family. Don't worry, I will definitely put the overall situation first."
After the three of them reached a consensus, they began to act separately.
The capital area where the Ice Palace is located has always been under the charge of defense by Roger. After Luo Tian took over the defense of the Ice Palace, Roger also controlled the defense outside the capital.
So Roger mobilized the guards of the capital district and began to gather towards the Ice Palace. At the same time, most of the warriors he raised were concentrated in various blocks to maintain law and order. After receiving Roger's order, they also marched towards the Ice Palace in a mighty manner.
Roger also contacted Martha, claiming that Luo Tian and Rubin had rebelled, and he wanted to concentrate his forces to eliminate the rebels and rescue his father. Martha was far away in West Town and was extremely shocked when she received the news, but because Roger was her son-in-law, she also expressed that she would stand by his side.
Roy quickly contacted Miguel and told him about Luo Tian's joint rebellion and Rubin's abdication as Elaine said.
Miguel was both surprised and delighted after hearing this. He had originally wanted to wait until the Star Picking Competition started, but the incident happened so suddenly that the progress was greatly advanced. Fortunately, the early preparations had been almost done, and now he could completely place his own people in the capital under the pretext of helping Roger clean up the rebels.
At this time, Rubin in Kaiyuan posted a notice in the House of Nobles group: Robert will convene an emergency meeting of the House of Nobles in ten minutes, and the royal family and clan leaders must attend, and then sent the meeting address link to the group.
After receiving the message, Miguel guessed that something big might have happened, so he quickly contacted Harvey. Harvey's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Isn't there a meeting soon? Wouldn't it be better to say no after the meeting?"
Miguel raised his voice and shouted, "Something big has happened. Luo Tian and Rubin have teamed up to rebel and have now occupied the Ice Palace. Rubin just sent a meeting notice in the group. He will definitely force the emperor to tell everyone that Luo Tian has taken over the throne and Rob will officially abdicate."
Harvey jumped up from the bed after hearing what Miguel said. "Is there such a thing? Old Miguel, tell me the truth, this is not an excuse you made up to rebel, right?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The ones who are rebelling now are Luo Tian and Rubin. Roy told me this news. Now that Elaine and Roger have taken action, we can take this opportunity to get rid of Luo Tian and Rubin. You must take the right stance in the meeting later!" Miguel reminded.
Harvey hurriedly put on his clothes and replied, "I understand, don't worry."
Inside the secret room of the Noble Court in Kaiyuan Uranus City, the royal family and nobles sat around a huge round table. The air was so dead silent that even a sneeze could scare people.
Rob, Luo Tian and Rubin sat together, with Roger, Roy, Miguel, Martha and Harvey next to them.
Although Rob was weak, he managed to cheer himself up and said in his usual loud voice: "Today we are only discussing one topic, which is the candidate for the successor to the throne. After observing for a period of time, Luo Tian's performance in the Tianwu Tournament was very outstanding. He was excellent in leadership, rallying people's hearts, and strategy and martial arts. Therefore, I chose Luo Tian as the successor to the throne. Today I am here to announce to everyone that you must assist him well in the future. If one day I pass away, Luo Tian will be the only successor to the throne."
After Rob finished speaking, Rubin took out the succession letter to the throne written by Rob and the scepter representing the highest authority in the Heavenly King District, and announced: "Third Prince Luo Tian will take the scepter."
Luo Tian stood up, knelt on one knee, and said: "Thank you for your trust, father. I will live up to your trust and manage the Tianwang District well."
After receiving the succession certificate and scepter, Luo Tian bowed to the nobles present and said, "I hope that my two brothers and all the nobles will help you in the future."
Rubin said: "Originally, the ceremony to select the successor to the throne should have been held in the Tianwang Hall, but the emperor has not been in good health recently, so it was held in Kaiyuanli. Of course, no matter where it is, as long as everyone attends the ceremony, Luo Tian's successor to the throne will be valid."
