When count Raymond saw this, he sighed and whispered to himself, "this scene has not been seen for twenty years..."
Then he looked up at Augustine VI in the distance and said: "Your Majesty, the magic array has been opened... According to what I know, the opening of the magic array requires all the court magicians to exert their full strength and spend at least one hour to open the magic array! That is to say, those court magicians were already starting the magic array just before the great prince was in trouble! Once the magic circle starts, even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it! Once the magic circle is opened, it will take at least three days to close. During this period, all the court magicians who preside over the magic circle are unable to leave their posts! "
Count Raymond's gentle voice said this, Augustine VI's eyes suddenly became very gloomy: "Raymond, you even heard this... Calculate the time to make my son difficult, these ideas, are you to help him think?"
"You are still so wise." Count Raymond slightly owed his body. He said faintly: "now, the ten thousand imperial guards in the palace, the most elite three thousand people, have been killed in Victory Square. The remaining seven thousand people can't hold the huge palace at all. You can't mobilize the power of the court magicians within three days. Even if the magic array stops after three days, those court magicians who have consumed all their magic will not be of much use. " Count Raymond sighed: "of course, if it's normal, you can defend the palace with the last imperial army, and then ask for help from the Acropolis or other troops outside the imperial capital in the palace. But it's a pity that once the magic array of the imperial capital is opened, no one can get in or out! Even if you call in reinforcements. They can only wait outside the city for at least three days! Three days in the imperial capital is enough to solve all the problems. Are you right? In other words, within the palace, you can not rely on much strength
Count Raymond suddenly bent down in front of everyone. He made a very respectful aristocratic courtesy to Augustine VI, and then said in a deep voice, "your majesty! Please step down
"Please step down!"
On the surrounding platforms, many nobles and ministers who originally belonged to the Grand Prince's party finally spoke, and dozens of voices gathered into a group
Augustine VI's fingers trembled and his eyes swept over count Raymond and others one by one. Finally, he stayed on an old man!
"Marquis Solomon!" Augustine VI suddenly excited, his face with a trace of deep resentment: "you! You white eyed wolf! I have always trusted you so much that I even gave you the Royal estate! Now you have betrayed me with them
Marquis Solomon, watched by the old emperor. With a calm face, he calmly raised his head, looked at Augustine VI, and then nodded: "yes, your majesty. I did do it with them. Now those archers below, I use your fleet of Royal Chamber of Commerce to transport them into the imperial capital quietly. And because of your special warrant, no one even dares to check on the river. "
"And you! Juncker Augustine VI suddenly pointed to general Juncker, who was standing near count Raymond. The old emperor growled angrily: "Junker! I trust you so much! I even gave you the second division of the guards! I gave you the whole city defense of the imperial capital! "
Juncker's face was cold, his body was straight, he looked at the old emperor coldly, and calmly replied: "Your Majesty, you really gave me the city defense of the imperial capital... But if I guess correctly, if I don't do it today, you will replace me in a month! You are old, and you are preparing to pave the way for Prince Chen's succession. A general like me, who still holds military power in the imperial capital, will soon be demoted to other places by you! Prince Chen needs some new people he trusts to take up the position of city defense... Unfortunately, I have a bad relationship with his highness in recent years. "
The old emperor's body shook violently. This time, it seemed that he was really knocked down. He bit his lips hard, and even bit blood from the corners of his mouth.
"Betrayal! Betrayal! It's all betrayal! " The voice of Augustine VI roared.
Count Raymond looked at the old Augustine VI. He sighed: "Your Majesty. As I said just now, it's not that we betrayed you. But you betrayed us
"You... You! Nonsense The emperor suddenly collapsed on the chair, and his fall made the people around him scream. Augustine VI gasped and stared at count Raymond: "you said I betrayed you! nonsense! Nonsense
"On the contrary, we are talking about the truth." Count Raymond looked at Augustine VI calmly: "Your Majesty, every word I say is true!"
With that, count Raymond turned to his side, raised his hand, and pointed to his back... On the high platform behind him, most of them were aristocratic families and ministers of the Empire of the Grand Prince.
"Your Majesty." Count Raymond said slowly, "have you found out that most of us who support the eldest prince are about his age! I think if you don't forget, you should remember what the eldest prince said just now
Dewey stood behind his father, watching count Raymond face the emperor with almost indifference. Suddenly, there was a strange and complex feeling in his heart“ Your majesty, when the eldest prince was young, you told him that everything he learned was for the sake of succeeding to your rule of the Empire in the future! You have said the same thing to him, and you have said the same thing to many of us Count Raymond raised his finger and pointed to Prince Chen: "just before his highness Chen was born... No, to be exact, when the eldest prince was just an adult. At that time, you had trained the eldest prince as your successor for more than 20 years! As a group of the same age as the eldest prince, we were trained by you as people who will assist the eldest prince in the future when we set foot in the upper class core circle of the imperial capital at the beginning! I still remember clearly that just before the northwest war broke out 20 years ago, I was going to go to the desert front with the prince! At that time, you called me into the palace alone, and you said to me, "Raymond, you will be the best person to assist him in the future! You represent the future of the Empire! " This sentence, I did not forget! Because from very early on, you almost intentionally or unintentionally put a lot of us around the prince. It's you who closely linked us with the prince! Since we set foot in the political arena, we have been branded by you as the "big prince party"! This brand is not made by ourselves! And it is you, in order to train successors, in order to train the team for successors, chose us as the assistant of the prince! All this happened before Prince Chen was born Then, count Raymond's tone changed: "thirty years have passed... We were white haired. We grew up with the eldest prince. We are friends and companions, because since I was young, you have repeatedly hinted that the eldest prince will become a new emperor, and he will be the object of our generation's loyalty in the future! I think I did... And the people behind me, we all tried to do it! But... "He suddenly gave a bitter smile:" suddenly one day, you changed your mind! Because of a ridiculous decision for no reason! For those of us who have followed the great prince for 30 years, what is our future? When you told us that the Grand Prince would be the future emperor, you should help him! Good! We did it! But after 30 years, you suddenly said, the prince will not become an emperor! So... Where are we going? The change of one of your thoughts has made our 30-year efforts aimless! Prince Chen is young and promising, but he is not my loyal object! If Prince Chen succeeds to the throne, he will naturally have his confidants. At that time, where will we go?? So... "The head of the Rowling family finally sighed and looked at Augustine VI:" so, it's not that we betrayed you, but that you betrayed us first! You first gave us a goal, let us struggle for 30 years! Then you easily cancelled our goal and made our goal of 30 years become nothing. Excuse me, this is not betrayal, what is it? " Count Raymond's eloquence made Dewey almost cry for his father! Father... Great! Even a rebellion can be so justified! In fact, it seems that Augustine VI is really sorry for them“ Count Raymond All of a sudden, a sweet voice came slowly. Prince Chen, who had been sitting on the sidelines all the time, did not speak. He still had a symbolic smile on his face. "Count Raymond, I want to ask you a question. As you just said, if my father had made you and those people behind you loyal to me in the first place, Will you do as he ordered? "
