Roger and Reuben led their army to East Town and dealt with Harvey, which meant they had removed the last poisonous weed.
"Uncle Rubin, what do you think about Harvey not sending out the army to openly rebel this time?" Luo Tian asked.
"Harvey is a coward who has always had the will but not the courage. I think he is just an unprincipled political opportunist who wants to do big things but values his life very much. That's why he dares not rebel openly because he is afraid that his entire clan will be exterminated if he fails." Rubin replied.
Luo Tian nodded in agreement: "So this kind of person is unreliable!"
"Your Majesty, what do you think? Do you need me to help you kill Harvey?" Rubin asked.
"That's not the case, but I don't plan to let him manage East Town. He can retain the noble title and fiefdom in name, but in reality he will be deprived of his management power. At the same time, the jurisdiction over Uranus City must be completely stripped away." Luo Tian expressed his thoughts.
"Your Majesty is wise, but I still think this kid got away with it," said Rubin.
"So I asked you to go this time because I wanted to first take over the military power of Dongzhen and hand it over to you, and then slowly sideline Harvey. This is not an easy thing to do, as Harvey is very smart. After thinking about it, I think only you can handle it." Luo Tian said.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I still have a way to deal with that old guy Harvey." Rubin said confidently.
When the army was approaching East Town, Harvey received a report from the officers that a large army was marching towards East Town and had now reached the border.
"Did you see clearly where those troops came from?" Harvey asked anxiously.
"Look clearly, it's Rubin's army!" said the officer.
When Harvey heard that it was Rubin's army, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. It was obvious that Luo Tian was coming to settle the score, but he knew it was too late to run away now. The key point was that he didn't know where to run safely. He could only hope that Luo Tian didn't know about what he was doing behind the scenes.
The army soon entered East Town. Luo Tian and Rubin were talking and laughing as they marched forward when an officer came to report that a group of troops were rushing towards them and asked if they should make defensive preparations in advance.
"Keep the troops on high alert and ready to fight at any time, while maintaining the same pace of advance," Rubin said.
"Yes, sir!" The officer went down to convey the order.
"Your Majesty, does this old fox Harvey really want to fight us to the death?" Rubin asked in disbelief.
"I don't think it's likely, but it's right to be on guard," Luo Tian said.
After walking for a while, the officer came to report: "General, Lord Harvey from East Town has come to meet us. Do you want to go over?"
"This old fox really doesn't have the courage to fight us with real swords and guns. He will probably try to use sneaky tactics again. Let's go and meet him." Rubin said.
"Let me go with you. He probably doesn't know that I'm here!" Luo Tian said.
Luo Tian and Rubin had just walked for a while when they saw Harvey and his servants jogging towards them, and they knelt down with a thud.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not knowing about your visit until now. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!" Harvey said humbly.
Luo Tian knew that Harvey was not kneeling to him, but to the army behind him. Now that there were so many people and eyes, he was not going to confront Harvey and wanted to save him some face.
"Mr. Harvey, please stand up. Uncle Rubin and I came here without informing you in advance, so what crime have you committed? Get up quickly!" Luo Tian politely helped Harvey up.
Harvey noticed that Luo Tian looked very peaceful, and he felt a little relieved. He simply greeted Rubin, and since their relationship had always been tense, they didn't talk on the way.
Luo Tian followed Harvey into the living room of the palace and sat down. Harvey ordered the servants to serve the best tea and personally poured tea for Luo Tian.
"Your Majesty has come from afar and brought a large army with him. Have some tea to quench your thirst," said Harvey.
"Thank you, Lord Xavi!" Luo Tian took the teacup, put it on the table, and did not drink the tea.
"Harvey, do you know why His Majesty and I came to see you?" Rubin started the conversation and asked.
"Brother Rubin, I'm staying in East Town and have no access to information, so I really don't know." Harvey covered up.
"Since you are pretending to be crazy and stupid, I won't beat around the bush with you. Miguel and Roger rebelled. They colluded with the warships of the Outland Star City and attempted to capture the Uranus City and overthrow your Majesty's rule. How dare you say you don't know about this?" Rubin asked sternly.
"This matter really has nothing to do with me! At that time, Mig told me that other star cities knew that His Majesty succeeded Robert as emperor, and they specially sent envoys to congratulate him. Because there were a lot of treasures to offer, they came with a fleet. He also guaranteed that this fleet absolutely had no military weapons. I listened to him and agreed to let these foreign starships in." Harvey explained hurriedly.
"Are you lying to a two-year-old child? Even if you are telling the truth, those starships fought a fierce battle with Your Majesty in Uranus City and almost destroyed the entire star city, but you did not take any measures to resist the attack of the enemy ships. I think you are a traitor. How do you explain this matter?" Rubin said.
Harvey defended himself, "Robin, you are definitely slandering me. To be honest, I have not been feeling well these past few days, and the affairs of Uranus City have been left to my subordinates. If it is really as you said, there must be a spy here. I will investigate thoroughly when I return, and I will definitely clean up the mess."
Seeing that Harvey refused to admit his mistake, Rubin's lips trembled with anger. "When Emperor Robert convened a meeting of the House of Nobles, he announced that Your Majesty would succeed the Emperor as the heir. At that time, you stood on the side of Roger and Miguel. If you say that you have nothing to do with them, who would believe you?"
