In the distant space, there is a very huge planet. This planet is much larger than ordinary planets. Outside this planet, there are several huge spaceports. There are countless spaceships parked at these spaceports. This is the capital planet of the Star Empire. There is no other name for this place, it is called the capital planet, because it is the center of the Star Empire. The royal family of the Star Empire lives on this planet. This is also the political, military, and financial manufacturing center of the entire Star Empire.

On a high mountain on the planet, there is a magnificent palace complex. This is the royal palace. In addition to the main hall which is the residence of His Majesty the King, all other members of the royal family also live on this mountain.

In a palace closer to the top of the mountain, this is the palace where the prince lives. It covers a large area and the palace looks very majestic. In a room in this palace, a man who looks to be in his thirties, handsome, but with a pair of phoenix eyes, thin lips, and a naturally cold look, is sitting there. In front of him, sits an old man in his fifties. The old man is dressed in gorgeous clothes, is very fat, and has a smile on his face. He looks like a wealthy old man. This old man is the prince's father-in-law, named Lu Wei, and sitting opposite him is, of course, the prince.

Lu Wei's reputation outside was not very good. Everyone said that he was a very greedy person. In the name of the prince, he did countless acts of robbery and robbery. However, he was very sensible in doing things. He never touched those big families. He mostly dealt with some wealthy businessmen or some small families. Naturally, no one would cause trouble for him.

At this time, the prince suddenly said, "Lü Wei, what's the situation with the Sima family? How far have we progressed?"

Lü Zhong immediately spoke up, "In reply to the prince, we have already ordered Sima Wu to be transferred from the Space Fortress. It is a lucrative position in the logistics department. He did not object. The next step is to take action against the Sima family. We are going to send people to survey Xipu Star to see how much Ling iron ore has been mined there, and then check the accounts to see how much Ling iron ore they have secretly sold. Then, starting from this point, we will take direct action against the Sima family. Even if we don't execute their entire family, we will make them give up Xipu Star."

The prince nodded and said, "Okay, this is the most important thing recently. Although the Sima family has some connections in the court, that was many years ago. Now they have long been away from the court. It is hard to say how many people can speak for them. That's why we will take action against them. Their family's space fortress and Xipu Star must be in our hands. With the power of one star, we can maintain a space fortress. It can be seen that Xipu Star is indeed very profitable. We must have Xipu Star in our hands." Lu Wei responded, his eyes shining, not at all like what outsiders said, that he was just greedy and would do whatever he wanted by relying on the prince's reputation.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the prince said in a deep voice: "Come in." Following his voice, a eunuch walked in from outside the door. Logically, in this era, there should be no eunuchs, but the royal family has retained this tradition, so there are still many eunuchs in the palace. After the eunuch walked in, he directly placed some memorials on the table in front of the prince and said to the prince: "Your Highness, this is an urgent memorial sent by the Secretary General. Please take a look at it."

The prince nodded, took the memorials and started to read them. Actually, everything could be done on a computer now, but in order to preserve tradition, the royal family deliberately made all the memorials look like they did before, and they have been kept until now.

The prince read several memorials and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on his face. Then he said to Lu Wei, "Lu Wei, take a look at these two memorials." After that, he handed the two memorials to Lu Wei.

  Lu Wei responded and carefully took the two memorials. He then opened one of them and read it carefully. After reading it, he was also a little surprised. He took the other memorial and read it. After reading it, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "What does the Sima family mean? One said he wanted to give up a good job and run for an idle job, and the other said he wanted to live in a different place. What do they mean?" He was really very surprised, because the content of the memorial was completely beyond their expectations.

The two memorials were of course submitted by Sima De and Sima Wu. Sima Wu's memorial said that he wanted to work for the Strategic Intelligence Agency, and Sima De's memorial, as he had said before, said that his family had been mining for the empire for many years, and now the family had lost its talents and was no longer able to mine for the empire, so he requested the empire to allow them to return to the capital planet to live. The prince smiled and said, "The Sima family is quite sensible. They found out that we were dealing with them and knew that they were no match for us, so they took the initiative to withdraw. Sima Wu's memorial should be read together with Sima De's. That is to say, their family wanted to withdraw voluntarily and let Sima Wu take a sinecure in exchange for the safety of their Sima family so that they could return to the capital planet to live. They are a smart family. Lu Wei, how do you think we should deal with them?" When the prince said this, he looked at Lu Wei, waiting for Lu Wei to speak, but Lu Wei fell into deep thought. The Sima family... This move was indeed something he had not expected, and he really didn't know what to do now. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I don't know how to deal with this matter. I hope Your Highness will give me some advice." Lu Wei really didn't know how to deal with it, and even if he had an idea, he didn't dare to say it casually. He knew the character of the prince. The prince didn't like others giving him advice casually. If you did it casually, there might be trouble, so he pretended to think about it, and then said nothing, so there was no problem.

The prince smiled and continued, "We have taken away the Sima family's assets. If the Sima family really returns to the capital planet, they will unite with others and cause trouble for me. Wouldn't that be very annoying? So we can't let them come back. It's best to make everyone forget about them and not think of them. Then there will be no problem."

Lu Wei quickly smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise." He did not think there was anything wrong with what the prince said. Although the prince was the heir to the throne, it did not mean that the prince had no rivals. In fact, because everyone's life is very long now, and the prince was determined very early, he has been the prince for a long time, and His Majesty the Emperor may not always like him. Now the prince's several adult brothers have been eyeing the position of the prince. The most important thing is that they have all developed their own power. Although they are not princes, they are all princes now, and they have all married with important officials in the court. By marrying with important officials, then Of course, some ministers hope that they can become the crown prince or even the emperor, so they are also actively developing their own power, posing a threat to the crown prince. Although the Sima family does not have much power, don't forget that there are many masters in this Sima family, and their family has occupied a planet for such a long time, and the family must have some foundation. If he were to go to the capital planet, there might be many variables. Therefore, people like this who have conflicts with them should of course be turned a blind eye, and it would be best if they would never be able to turn over. Therefore, Lu Wei did not think there was anything wrong with the crown prince's behavior.

Some people may be very curious, why other princes can marry the daughters of important officials, but the prince married the daughter of Lu Wei? Lu Wei was just an idle official in the court, without any foundation. It is said that such a person cannot marry the prince. In fact, this is a rule of the Star Empire. Because the Star Empire is worried about the monopoly of power by relatives, it stipulates that the prince can only marry officials below the fifth rank, and they must be idle officials, not those with real power, so the prince can only marry Lu Wei.

It is precisely because of this that after Lu Wei became the prince's father-in-law, he would go around taking other people's property, because he was making money for the prince, and this was the only thing he could do for the prince. Of course, other people also knew why he did this, and of course no one would really offend him, unless they were people with very strong backing, such people would not care about him, and he would not offend such people, so he had always lived a smooth life, and this was also the prince's order.

The prince smiled slightly after hearing what Lu Wei said. He now discovered one of the benefits of marrying into a family of lower status. Because the Lu family had a low status, Lu Wei always listened to him and never dared to say no. He could act completely according to his own wishes, and he liked this feeling very much. Therefore, he was actually very satisfied with this marriage.

However, the prince still said to Lu Wei: "Do you know if there is any place that is suitable for the Sima family to go there and make everyone forget the existence of their family?" The prince had not figured out how to arrange the Sima family for the time being, so he asked this.

And Lu Wei knew that he could actually give some advice on questions like this. After all, the prince had already decided on the matter, and he only needed to determine where the people were going. Lu Wei thought about it, and suddenly he remembered that he had heard someone mention a place before. His eyes lit up, and then he said, "Your Highness, I do know such a place, that is Poison Mars. Strictly speaking, Poison Mars is also in the capital area, but it is a forgotten planet."

After hearing what Lu Wei said, the prince was stunned at first, as if he didn't know where the poisonous Mars was. But when he heard Lu Wei mention the capital area and the forgotten planet, the prince suddenly remembered where the poisonous Mars was. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Is it the planet that produced titanium in the past? Yes, that planet seems to be called poisonous Mars now? Are there still people on that planet? Isn't it said that the land there is all polluted and nothing can grow, and there are toxins in the air? Are there still people living there?" (End of this chapter)
