"Is it true? Zhong Tianque is colluding with Shen Wuxiang to rebel?"
"It should be true... The King personally came forward to make a video accusation."
"How do you know it's the real King? It might be AI-made. With today's AI technology, the fake can pass for real, and ordinary people can't tell the difference..."
"The Phoenix Palace was bombed. How can it be fake? I initially thought it was to shell the bandits... Didn't expect it was meant to blow up the King..."
"Watch your words... Be careful of getting banned."
"Sorry, your account has violated regulations... Please go to the Security Bureau to collect a piece of Xinyang Maojian tea..."

Feng City, Luo City, Phoenix City, Red Moon City, Brocade City...
Wherever there's a network, this matter is being discussed.
Everyone has a common question: Who is the real traitor?
After all, two days ago Zhong Tianque just announced publicly at Fengming Palace that Zhong Yu Xiu Xue was colluding with bandits, leading the Barbarian Clan into the country, and had occupied Gold and Red Moon cities.
Now, the rarely seen King Zhong Tianque again personally came forward saying Crown Prince Zhong Tianque colluded with power minister Shen Wuxiang in a rebellion to seize the nation, even exterminating him and Zhong Yu Xiu Xue.
It's all very chaotic.
Not only this, even the Aus Empire and Kaman Federation expressed significant attention and eager discussion over this news.
Who doesn't love watching a commotion?
Especially someone else's commotion.
"Brothers, have you heard? The Phoenix Empire is in chaos... Their Emperor and Crown Prince both accuse each other of treason..."
"Fight, fight... The more intense, the better..."
"Shen Wuxiang's a ruthless guy, wanting to kill the King..."
"A soldier who doesn't want to be a General is not a good soldier, a General who doesn't want to be an Emperor is not a good General?"
"The Phoenix Empire is in chaos, isn't this our chance in Aus? The path to rise is right ahead."
"Kaman Federation's opportunity has arrived... Time to counterattack Phoenix and redeem past shame..."
------
While Phoenix Empire is frantically intercepting and blocking, Aus Empire and Kaman Federation are consciously guiding and heating up the matter.
Not only have official outlets begun extensive coverage, but various major media, radio stations, television stations, and online platforms have dedicated columns or invited widely influential current affairs experts to discuss the event.
Their enthusiasm is overwhelming...
Clearly, they see this as a precious opportunity.
When the enemy is strong, we are weak; when the enemy is weak, we are strong.
With internal strife in Phoenix Empire, Aus and Kaman would gain immense benefits.
If the infighting leads to a national civil war, they would laugh even in their dreams.
Territory, ports, resource mines, and long-distance transport, Star River expansion...
They could seize a lot of things.
There are no personal matters in governance.
The feud between Zhong Tianque and Zhong Daolong father and son attracted the attention of everyone globally.
Because everyone knows, the victor will wield the power to control the Empire and influence the Star River's trajectory.
Moreover, Zhong Daolong's 'accusation' video officially stripped away Shen Wuxiang's treasonous cover, exposing his wild ambitions openly to the public.
Now those wanting to pretend not to see...
Will require thicker skin.
Once the video went online, the Righteous Army centered on Tang Fei Phoenix clashed with the established military group represented by Shen Wuxiang.
The truth emerged revealing the dagger!

Summer Palace.
Prince Philip and his two brothers, Prince Caesar and Prince Harry, were respectfully standing in the majestic council hall. King Lionheart Richard emerged from an inner room, wearing a black silk robe, looking like he just climbed off some woman's high # prominent chest.
King Lionheart is an ambitious visionary, also a carefree sensualist.
He might anytime pin a serving secretary or maid onto the desk, or gather friends to play multi-player games...
Those who achieve great things do not stick to small matters; in their view, playing with a few women is merely 'trivial' and does not affect King Lionheart's mighty and grand image.
King Lionheart plopped onto the sofa, took a swig of coffee from the table, looked at his three sons standing before him, and said, "Since you three came together, there must be something very important to discuss with me?"
"Father..." Prince Caesar looked towards King Lionheart with admiration and smiled, saying, "Phoenix Empire is in internal strife, Shen Wuxiang wants to usurp... our opportunity has come."
"Shen Wuxiang wanting to usurp is not a matter of just one or two days. Where lies the opportunity?"
King Lionheart looked up at his eldest son. Caesar is the first-in-line successor to the Aus Empire throne. When he steps down or passes, this nation will likely be handed over to him.
So, he also strives to give him opportunities to demonstrate.
If the Crown Prince's position is unstable, others will develop different thoughts.
Why did the Zhong Royal Family collapse?
He definitely doesn't want to repeat Zhong's path.
Absolutely not.
If necessary, he's unafraid to take extreme measures.
In any case, he must ensure the smooth continuation of power.
"Tang Fei." Caesar had a detailed investigation report on the Phoenix Empire's internal chaos on the table. He knew where the core of the conflict lay: "Previously, Shen Wuxiang used his powerful military strength to intimidate the nation so no one dared speak easily."
"Now Tang Fei stands out to resist Shen Wuxiang's military group and has taken Red Moon City and Gold City... Connected with Dushan Region to form a vast strategic space."
