Looking at the man in front of him, Fangzheng's expression darkened slightly.
"I'm no longer a prince. Mind the way you address me."
"Yes, I'm very sorry, Your Highness."
Sensing Fangzheng's oppressive gaze, the man in the black suit trembled and lowered his head respectfully.
"Very well, let's go."
"Yes."
As they spoke, the group welcomed Fangzheng into the car and drove towards the palace.
Sitting in the car, Fangzheng pondered as he gazed at the night view outside.
Naturally, he had to make a character card and understand the "background". Fangzheng had long learned that the current supreme leader of the Chinese Federation was the Emperor, Jiang Lihua, and the identity he set for himself was Jiang Lihua's half-brother. Because he was a concubine born to a palace maid and not a legitimate son, he did not inherit the throne and was sent outside.
Well … this was all thanks to the influence of the Great Celestial Empire's online literature. It couldn't be easier to create such an identity.
As for whether he would be exposed or not, Fangzheng wasn't worried at all. He knew very well that many things in the royal family were not made public. In fact, there were a lot of things that people "seemed to have heard of", "might have happened", or "seemed to have happened". After all, human memory could deceive themselves, so even the people in the royal family were often half-aware of many things, or they didn't know anything at all.
And at times like this, they needed to verify it through information.
However, this was where Fangzheng's confidence came from.
Everything set in the book would become a reality. Of course, it would take a lot of effort to modify one's memory and emotions, but it was effortless to modify information on paper. Therefore, even if the people in the palace had doubts about his identity, once they investigated the information and records and confirmed that there was indeed such a prince, they would have no choice but to acknowledge his identity.
Of course, Fangzheng had set up this identity after careful consideration. If the ruler of the Chinese Federation was a powerful person or someone who had a strong desire for power and control, the sudden appearance of a brother would definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. After all, since ancient times, the struggle for the throne between brothers had always been cruel and merciless.
However, Fangzheng had already learned from the book, that the Emperor was alone. There was not even a relative of the Emperor around him, and it was only a twelve-year-old girl. Not only that, she was basically a mere figurehead by the eunuchs and was placed under house arrest in the Imperial City, unable to leave.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe such a situation as "having no relatives". At this time, if he were to accidentally find out that he had a half-brother, he would naturally feel a sense of closeness, which would be convenient for him to act.
In fact, it was just as Fangzheng thought.
"Eh?"
Sitting on the throne, a silver-haired, red-eyed girl widened her eyes in surprise, looking at the fat eunuch in front of her.
"My … brother?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. I just received news that your elder brother is about to return to his country …."
As he spoke, Fat Head and Big Ears put on a secretive expression. In fact, he had just received the news. At the beginning, these eunuchs were also confused. They had followed the Emperor for so long, how could they not know that he had a son?
Could it be a fake?
But who would dare to fake it? Wasn't that courting death?
As Fangzheng expected, the puzzled eunuchs immediately sent people to investigate the royal family's information, and "sure enough", they found records about Fangzheng.
After all, this was a modern society. It was naturally impossible to just record on paper. All records, including DNA, were available. In this case, the eunuchs could do nothing. After all, they were not qualified to modify the royal records. The royal records of each generation could only be modified by those with royal blood. Without administrative authority, these eunuchs could only watch the show.
For the Emperor, this could be regarded as a pleasant surprise!
She had always been alone. She never thought that she would have a brother that she had never met. And now, this brother was coming back!
The Emperor was excited and nervous. She didn't know what kind of person her brother was, whether he would like her, and how she should behave in a while ….
But compared to the overjoyed Emperor, the eunuchs on this side looked like they were facing a great enemy.
The reason was very simple. After this, out of caution, they checked the records again. As a result, these eunuchs were surprised to find that almost every generation of emperors would send their first bastard prince away, and very few of them would come back. But every time these bastard princes came back, it was usually when the country was in turmoil!
Of course, this was also added by Fangzheng through Li Gai Tianyi. After all, with the power of Li Gai Tianyi, it was not a problem for him to modify information from any period, even if it was from thousands of years ago.
This suddenly made the eunuchs panic. Of course, they understood what they were doing. Taking over the Emperor and seizing power was a taboo of the royal family. Thinking about it carefully, how could the royal family not have the means to restrain these eunuchs and let them do whatever they want outside? Could it be that the emperors of all dynasties were fools?
These eunuchs were playing tricks all day, so they were too smart for their own good. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was the truth. That's right, it must be like this! If this was really the case, then there might be a group of intelligence personnel in the country who specialized in serving these peripheral princes! Otherwise, how could these princes know the internal situation of the imperial city?
In other words, there must be spies around them!
At the thought of this, the eunuchs were terrified. It wasn't surprising. After all, no matter who had been acting like a tyrant for more than a decade, being discovered that someone had been watching their every move in the dark would definitely drive them crazy.
Therefore, as the saying goes, a clean conscience is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. In fact, there were many things that Fangzheng didn't write down, but this group of guilty eunuchs forcibly filled in the blanks with their own imagination and filled in everything about him!
Moreover, they felt that there was nothing wrong with them. This was very normal. It was all things that you filled in the blanks with your own imagination, so of course you would think it was normal.
Although these eunuchs also considered whether to carry out an assassination on Fangzheng, when they thought that the other party's spies might be watching them all the time, they had no choice but to not act rashly. After all, they only suspected that this' prince 'came back to cause trouble, but they hadn't confirmed it yet.
However, if they really attacked the prince, then the crime would be confirmed!
At that time, even God wouldn't be able to help them!
So even if their hearts were beating like drums, they could only pray.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded.
"His Royal Highness Fangzheng has arrived!"
Along with the announcement, everyone soon saw Fangzheng slowly walking in from outside the door. He walked to the main hall and came in front of the Emperor, then lowered his head.
"Nice to meet you, Your Majesty."
"Ah … Nice to meet you, brother …"
Facing Fangzheng, the Emperor was obviously at a loss. Seeing this scene, the eunuch standing next to her suddenly stepped forward and shouted.
"Rude person! Kneel in front of His Majesty the Emperor! "
However, hearing the other party's shout, Fangzheng did not kneel as he said. Instead, he raised his head and stared at the eunuch in front of him.
"A mere eunuch dares to speak without His Majesty's permission in the main hall?"
"— — — — — — — —!"
Hearing this, the eunuch was taken aback, then cold sweat instantly dripped down. He had been acting like a tyrant here for too long, so long that he almost forgot the rules of the imperial city. In the main hall, eunuchs had no right to speak. Without the Emperor's instructions, they couldn't even let out a fart!
This kind of matter could be serious or small. A light punishment would be imprisonment, a heavy punishment would be death!
"…"
Thinking of this, the eunuch suddenly broke out in cold sweat. He obediently lowered his head and stopped talking.
"Your Majesty."
Fangzheng once again looked at the girl in front of him.
"I have something to say to Your Majesty alone."
"Okay, I also want to have a good talk with Brother."
Hearing Fangzheng's words, the Emperor nodded happily. This was the first time she saw someone actually able to control these eunuchs. She was already overjoyed!
"Your Majesty, this isn't very good …!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, another eunuch next to him hurriedly said.
"What if …"
However, before he could finish his words, he saw Fangzheng glancing at him coldly.
The next moment, the eunuch felt like he was struck by lightning. He no longer dared to speak.
"Leave, this is not a place for you."
"Yes … Your Majesty."
Hearing Fangzheng's understatement, these eunuchs could only leave dejectedly. Only after they left did Fangzheng look at the Son of Heaven and smiled.
"With this, we can have a good talk."
