Chapter 483

Dewey doesn't think it's a smart idea, and it's too risky!

Although old Augustine VI has withdrawn from the center of power for more than two years, there are still many people will pay attention to him: including the temple!

It can be imagined that if the death of Augustine VI is spread out quickly, then it is Pope Paul XVI who will clap his hands most. It is not because Paul XVI hates Augustine VI so much. But as long as the old emperor dies, then according to the habit of most people's thinking, the Regent should naturally inherit the throne and be crowned as the new emperor of the Empire.

The church must be looking forward to the appearance of an Imperial Emperor who calls the Pope "Godfather"! Just imagine that in some grand public occasions, his majesty Chen, the supreme emperor of the Empire, bows and salutes Paul XVI and respectfully calls him "Godfather". Such a scene is absolutely a great victory! And for the royal family, its significance is not just losing face.

According to Prince Chen's previous practice, every month or so, he would arrange Augustine VI to appear in public, such as attending a decision-making meeting in a certain court, or attending a review ceremony, etc.

In fact, since Prince Chen held the baptism ceremony that inspired the church, accepted the baptism of the pope at the ceremony, and honored the pope as the godfather, there have been some voices within the church that can't wait: hope the Regent will be crowned as soon as possible!

For those prodigies, they are eager to see a "Godson" emperor, rather than a "Godson" Regent. Many people have some impatient complaints about Prince Chen's delay in being crowned Emperor: anyway, the power is already in hand, and the old emperor has retired to the second tier. Why don't you pretend not to be crowned?!

And on some religious occasions. Some people in the church have already conveyed some urging meaning to Prince Chen, hoping that Prince Chen can fulfill his original promise as soon as possible.

"I don't expect to use a double to hide the power of the whole imperial capital forever, but it can be done to gain some time for us in a short time." Although Prince Chen's voice is very light, Du Wei noticed that his word is "we".

It's clear that Dewey has received a clear message from it: he is by far the most trusted person of the young king.

Dewey sighed.

"Three days." Prince Chen said faintly: "three days later is the annual Qingfeng Festival. I arranged a public prayer ceremony, which is the last grand banquet held in the palace before the new year. On that occasion. I will make this "father emperor" appear in public once. Then... Next, we can fight for two months. I will announce to the public that my father is unwell and let him live in peace. For a long time, he won't have to appear. "

Du Wei sighed. It seemed that there was no way.

After all, it happened so suddenly that it disrupted the previous plan in just a few days. It's really hard to think of any proper solution.

"But." Du Wei reminded: "at the banquet of Qingfeng Festival, almost all the senior officials in the imperial capital will attend. Those old people have been with the emperor all their lives. It's hard to ensure that no one will see any flaws. Besides, your highness. You should know better than me that once this kind of thing is leaked out, it will be a big scandal! " His tone was very serious: "I must ask you clearly: do you really not want to be crowned emperor?"

Chen Prince's voice is very firm: "my mind has decided very early... I belong to Charlie!"

"But Charlie is only ten years old. He won't suddenly grow up in two or three months." Duvet sighed: "and this double. It can only buy us two or three months at most. Three months later, how can we think of a reason to convince everyone that the throne should be passed on to Prince Charles publicly? " Du Wei shook his head: "Your Highness, you are in the prime of your life. Although you are the Regent, you have made a ten-year-old child emperor, and he is also your own son. I'm afraid this will be opposed by everyone. "

Du Wei and Chen Prince's this conversation did not hide that "double". In fact, this guy has been sitting on that bed, his face full of fear, looking at Du Wei and Prince Chen.

Before Prince Chen left. But he left Dewey here. He gave him a task: to teach the stand in some etiquette to attend the banquet three days later.

Although Dewey was not a court ceremonial, it was too secret after all! Prince Chen doesn't want to let more people know about doubles

Moreover, on the night of the old emperor's death, the Regent immediately sent all the waiters, servants, court ladies and court guards to the palace without hesitation. They were all executed in secret!

It also included six court doctors who treated the old emperor.

It will be announced to the public. Because a careless court doctor and a court magic pharmacist accidentally caused the leakage of poison when they exchanged the efficacy of a dangerous magic potion. As a result, an unfortunate accident was caused, in which several court doctors and waiters died

Dewey didn't think much about this queer task. After all, if only one person knew about it, there would be less possibility of leakage.

But before Prince Chen left, he suddenly looked at Du Wei and said something strange: "according to what I know, you should be an excellent camouflage master. You have the superb ability to camouflage a person."

With that, he didn't seem to have any other meaning, so he turned and left.

Du Wei sighed and watched Prince Chen walk out of the palace.

There are no guards outside the palace now. Prince Chen, after executing the original bodyguards here, ordered that "Your Majesty's daily life and bodyguard work in the future should be transferred to the court magician."

Now there are only two servants in charge of waiting in this palace, both of whom are the trusted confidants of Prince Chen, while there are no guards outside. Instead, they are replaced by a group of court magicians guarding in the dark.

Looking at the open hall, Dewey's eyes fell on the poor double.

In fact, this guy's appearance is similar to that of the old emperor. And after some special treatment and make-up, it's almost difficult to see anything in the dim light.

However, if you seem to be familiar with the old emperor, it's easy to see the flaws in public. Besides, the tone and voice of a person's speech. Intonation, some subtle movements, are difficult to grasp one by one perfect.

Obviously, the substitute was found temporarily, and he was so scared that he could not be Regal. Although old Augustine VI was not a good emperor, he still had some Regal prestige when he was the master of the mainland all his life.

Besides, Dewey was very clear: after two days of that party. The result of waiting for the poor stand in is also obvious: silence!

However, I can't think of any answers to these worries for a while.

Du Wei first began to be busy. He took out the storage ring he carried with him, and took out some medicine stored in it, right in front of the "double". Play with the bottles.

Watching Du Wei fiddle with these magic potions and those bubbling potions, the double is obviously more scared.

His trembling voice suddenly summoned up courage. He begged to Duwei: "please, don't, don't kill me... I..."

"I won't kill you." Dewey tried to keep his voice soft. After all, this guy is also an innocent poor man, but politics is like this.

With that, he handed over a bottle of Medicine: "if you drink it, it will taste bitter. Don't spit it out. Then you can have a good sleep. "

The last sentence of "have a sleep" is probably misunderstood by the poor old man. He suddenly jumped out of bed. He knelt down in front of Duwei with a plop, grabbed Duwei's trousers and begged: "please, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Dewey pulled him up and took a close look, only to find that this guy was not an "old man" at all. His actual age was only about 40 years old. But it's obvious that Prince Chen's men have made up for him, and the wrinkles on his face are obviously drawn

Dewey was even more embarrassed to make up so rudely. It's impossible to deceive those old ministers who have followed the old emperor for decades!

"I'm not going to kill you." Dewey grabbed the man by the collar. He picked him up and tried to shout in a vicious tone: "I don't think you are an idiot! You should understand what we need you to do! Right? "

The man's body trembled away. But he nodded.

"Good." Dewey said coldly: "then you should understand that this matter must not be disclosed! So, you're worried that you'll be killed in the end, aren't you? "

"... yes." The man's face was despairing. He said in a trembling voice: "my lord... I, I, I'm just a tailor. I used to tailor for your majesty... The other night, I don't know why the Regent suddenly caught me here... I, I don't know anything..."

He looked pitifully at Dewey, his voice stuttered, his teeth fighting as he spoke.

"Oh? Are you a court tailor Du Wei's eyes brightened: "have you ever tailoring an old emperor before? That would be much easier. Since you have seen your majesty from a close distance, you should also know some of his Majesty's actions and habits, right

"I... I..." his teeth rattled and he couldn't speak.

Dewey squeezed his chin and studied his face for a while.

He had seen the old emperor several times. Then he took a pen out of his arms and drew it on both sides of the guy's face.

The muscles on this face were shaking badly, but he didn't dare to struggle at last. At last, he closed his eyes and left tears at the corners of his eyes.

Du Wei sighed, tone more friendly a bit: "tell me, what's your name?"

"Glum, my Lord, my name is glum."“ All right, glum Dewey seemed to smile: "do you have a family?"“ There are... There are adults. " "I have a wife and two daughters..." "well, are they in the imperial capital?"“ No, my Lord, they are not here. " After glum said a few words, his voice became smoother: "after the coup two years ago, I was afraid that this kind of thing would happen again. Later, I just sent them back to their hometown."“ Where is your hometown? " Dewey asked casually, drawing a few strokes on his face“ South, Lille Province, my lord... My hometown is Lille province. "“ Oh, I've been to that place. The province of Lille is just to the south of the rawling plain where we live Dewey laughed calmly: "I've been to half moon city, and I've met some interesting things there. Well, do you know half moon city? "“ I, I know, my lord... "Glum seems not so nervous. The Duke of tulip seems to be very approachable and friendly. His hope for survival is a little more:" half angle city... My hometown is not far from half angle city. " Dewey laughed: "my wife and I met for the first time outside the city. Oh, I blackmailed her that time. At that time, she was still a little girl. Well, what about you? Tell me, glum, what's your wife and daughter like? "
