Chen An returned to the train at night and lay comfortably in his driver's seat, feeling very safe.
"Fuyao, how many reasonable speculations are there?"
[Based on the massive amount of information currently available, I have made the following various speculations]
[The first option is that after you kill Zhou Yao that day, Mu Lin will turn against you and accuse you of murdering the new Palace Master on trumped-up charges, using you and Hu Mingfeng as scapegoats. With the support of the Key and Jiang Li, he can take the throne without any pressure.]
[The second option is to kill Zhou Yao on the same day and become the new Palace Master normally, but you will later encounter the same situation as Zhou Yao and be forced to step down under various charges.]
[The third scenario is that after killing Zhou Yao that day, Jiang Li will appear and suppress the whole scene, and then accuse you of treason. The outcome is unpredictable.]
…
Fu Yao's speculations would hardly have a good ending. No matter what she did, she would be serving as a pawn or scapegoat for Mu Lin.
"But I also have a big advantage, and that's the information gap. I know what they want to do and how powerful they are. But they don't know what I'm going to do."
What is the master going to do?
Chen An: "Since we want to overturn Zhou Yao, we must overturn all his verdicts. In other words, Yu Jincheng, Li Zhao, Chu Xiao and others are all innocent. As for Mu Lin, he only wants to overturn Zhou Yao and does not want to overturn the verdicts of others because he also has a huge interest group behind him."
[Master wants to inherit Yu Hong's inheritance? ]
"It's not called accepting the inheritance, it's helping them clear their grievances. This way, they have no choice but to support me. Add to that the passengers we've already placed, and they have no fewer supporters than Mu Lin. On the other hand, we have even more supporters, don't we?"
Zhou Yao ordered the arrest of a large number of star lords or governors, but Chen An contacted them secretly, promising that they could restore their status as long as they supported him.
Because to Chen An, it doesn’t matter whether the controllers of these planets are the old or new elites.
The desperate star lords expressed their support and were ready to resist in the next few days and would not surrender.
[The biggest threat is still Jiang Li]
"Yes, Jiang Li is the most troublesome. But I might be able to deal with him. If I kill him in public, who would dare to disobey?"
The plan is bound to have flaws, but this is the best measure Chen An can think of at the moment.
"If we're unlucky and fail, then we can just run away! Our train is already powerful enough, and with so many insiders, we can survive anywhere. In fact, I'd like to visit other star palaces."
Chen An has enough confidence to be able to advance and retreat.
…
Deep in the palace, Mu Lin stood respectfully beside Jiang Li.
"Father, if you devour Chu Yu, will it increase your lifespan?"
Jiang Li's face was rosy, but there was still a hint of tiredness in his eyes.
He sighed softly, "It's just a few more days of delay. I can see the end of my life in no more than half a month. Have all the parties made their plans?"
"Please rest assured, father. Everything has been completed. I will legitimately kill Zhou Yao, and then, with everyone's support, I will become the new Palace Master without leaving any flaws."
Jiang Li was very satisfied and had a kind face.
"You've been smart and steady since you were young, and I believe in your abilities. But what are you going to do with Xia Zuo?"
Mu Lin said, "I want to give him a chance to live, is that okay?"
Jiang Li's face darkened immediately, and he scolded, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Why haven't you seen through it yet? Xia Zuo is terrifyingly powerful. If he doesn't die, I won't be able to rest in peace."
"Okay, I'll listen to my father."
The father and son chatted about family matters for a while, and then Mu Lin left quietly.
Two days passed in a flash.
The biggest hot topic these two days is not the memorial ceremony on the Tianwu Continent, but the civil wars on various planets.
The star lords or governors were unwilling to give up power, so fights broke out and countless people were killed and injured.
Zhou Yao angrily denounced this behavior and even commanded the army to quell the rebellion.
But no matter what we do, these problems cannot be solved within a few days and will take more time.
In addition to the disputes in reality, there are also a lot of public opinions on the Internet.
The question of whether the ministers should be sentenced to death has caused a huge uproar among netizens.
Especially Chu Xiao’s charges made countless people indignant.
"Saying that Chu Xiao colluded with the Split Clan is like saying that the Chu family betrayed Xinggong. But the Chu family has guarded the border for thousands of years and has never yielded."
"Are you shameless in order to suppress the Chu family?"
"Zhou Yao is so shameless as to suppress dissidents."
"Be careful upstairs. Watch out for your water meter being checked."
"I'm not afraid. If you have the guts, can you also frame me for treason?"
Although Zhou Yao's speech on the first day scored high, his image changed dramatically as public opinion fermented.
Insidious, cunning, and willing to do anything to gain power...
Zhou Yao knew this situation very well.
He had no other choice but to ask the Ministry of Information and Network Security to ban accounts on a large scale. He couldn't argue with ordinary people, otherwise he would be overwhelmed by public resentment.
These days are spent in chaos.
On the seventh day after Zhou Yao became the Palace Master, the memorial ceremony for the old Palace Master was held as scheduled.
In the villa, Chen An yawned and stretched out his hands, asking Hongyue and Ziyue to help him pack his clothes.
He has become accustomed to this kind of life of being served and feels very at ease with it.
"Brother, can I go too?" Fei Yi rushed in from outside.
She was originally traveling in another city, but when she heard there was a good show today, she rushed back.
Chen An raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "None of you are allowed to follow. Just watch remotely from home. If anything unexpected happens, you will need to leave Tianwu Continent immediately and return to the train. The two spaceships outside the villa have the strongest jump capabilities currently. You can easily skip the starport."
Feiyi made a bitter face and agreed.
She understood Chen An's temper. If the arrangements were very detailed, it meant that there was no room for rebuttal and she had to obey.
Before leaving home, Chen An called Qianqiu over.
"You protect Mary well."
Mary is a scorpion. If she appears in public with this image, she will be killed as a spy.
For Meili's safety, Chen An sent a large number of experts to protect her.
Besides that, there is Fessi, who is also a berserker, even stronger than Mellie.
But because Feixi is a Half Moon person and can easily blend into the crowd, he only needs simple protection.
After making all the arrangements, Lan Yue drove the spaceship to send Chen An to the Star Burial Garden in the first circle.
The so-called Star Burial Garden is equivalent to a funeral home and a cemetery, where palace masters of all dynasties are buried.
If there are special people who play an important role in the development of the Star Palace, they can be buried there with the permission of the Palace Master, so there are many bigwigs buried in the Star Burial Garden.
Along the way, you can see that both the streets and residential buildings are covered with white cloth.
The streets are deserted. The former joy is gone, and occasionally a sense of desolation wafts through the air.
The monitoring teams are patrolling everywhere and will issue warnings or even arrest anyone found to be breaking the law, ensuring that the entire nation mourns together.
"It's a formality, but few people are actually mourning."
Jiang Li has been in power for too long. It was okay in the beginning, but he did nothing in the nearly thousand years that followed, and was even constrained by the deputy palace master, so it is difficult for him to have a good reputation.
Half an hour later, the spacecraft entered the Star Burial Garden.
