Soon, everyone felt the change of atmosphere in the imperial capital!
On the day of the death of the old Prime Minister robustcher, the garrison of the imperial city guards received a transfer order.
It was just according to the original idea of little princess Karina that half of the forces in each city gate were assigned to rotate. This kind of transfer immediately disrupted the original establishment, so that even if someone wanted to make trouble, there was no way.
Then, on the same day, Baron Sark, the current Commissioner of the finance department and the former commander of the public security office of the imperial capital, returned to the public security office of the imperial capital. Nominally, he was ordered to come to the public security office to make statistics on the annual military pay of the public security office. In fact, he brought a team of guards to the public security office and then stationed in the headquarters of the public security office.
And the commander of the security office was also a smart man, very obedient and obedient.
Next, the patrol of the security office doubled, and martial law was imposed on several blocks near the imperial city.
Wang Cheng's guards were mobilized and the security office was mobilized. In this way, everyone knows: I'm afraid something happened!
In the imperial capital, the eyeliner under all the forces was mobilized rapidly. We noticed that the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. There was news that it was said that on the first two days, some people saw the emperor's Majesty's light riding horse quietly returning to the imperial capital.
It seems that everything is not a good omen.
Finally, the palace officially spread the news: The Regent was seriously ill.
And it seems to be a general "serious illness".
Many people began to panic, and some rumors were soon spread by those who wanted to: The Regent has always been in good health. Why did he suddenly say that he couldn't do it? Is it
All kinds of rumors made the morale of the army somewhat unstable. Fortunately, the royal city guards had a high degree of loyalty to the royal family and had been transferred before. Even if someone wants to take advantage of it, there is no chance.
However, there is still a rumor that this is a coup! The Regent has been harmed!
There's been some panic among the people.
If it's a coup
The coup a few years ago is still fresh in my mind! After the coup, blood flowed over the square of the Imperial City, and the magic circle was opened, the two sides fought wildly in the imperial city. The rebels and royalists fought everywhere in the city, and many blocks became battlefields. Civilians were killed and wounded countless times. Even in some places where people were killed, some neighborhoods were set on fire by rebels in desperate struggle!
At the beginning of the coup, the civilian casualties in the imperial capital exceeded five figures. No one really wants to go through that tragedy again.
Even a lot of people are panicking. They are dragging their families. Prepare to leave the imperial capital for a while to avoid disaster.
However, the gate has been given access control! The city gate was temporarily controlled in the imperial capital. In addition to those big business groups with permission to enter and leave, and some official chariots and horses, civilians have been forbidden to leave and enter the imperial capital!
This is the order. It is full of uneasiness in everyone's heart.
coup? Is it really a coup?
Fortunately, at the critical moment of popular unrest, the Regent suddenly appeared in public!!
For two consecutive days, on the tower of the imperial city. The Regent appeared in public, stood on the tower and read aloud several latest victories from the northern theater.
On the first day, many people did not dare to go to the imperial city square to watch, but the next day, with the first day to see the news, more people finally went to the imperial city square, we only have one idea: to see the Regent. What happened to him?
Everyone was satisfied to see their young monarch standing high on the tower. From a distance, he was tall and straight. When he read the war report, his voice was full of air. Even far away, you can still feel the majesty of his Highness The Regent!
So. Many people are relieved.
And just after the next day's public appearance. The Regent himself took the hand of the little emperor, his majesty Charles, and sent the last battle report. Let little Charlie read it.
(half of these war reports are fabricated. At the moment, the war in the northern theater is basically stable. Where do so many victories come from
Little Charlie read out the last war report aloud, and then said a few inspiring speeches. Finally, in full view of the public, Prince Chen suddenly stepped back two steps. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, he bowed to his son deeply!
He is saluting!!!
In front of tens of thousands of eyes, he, the ruler of the Empire, finally bowed his head to his son and made an open... Power transfer!!
Many people were shocked, because in the hearts of more people, although Prince Chen was only holding the title of Regent, they actually regarded him as the emperor.
This is an alternative ceremony of power transfer. There is no solemn ceremony, no honor guard, no sacrifice, just a bow under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.
Prince Chen, with his own actions, gave the highest authority of the Empire to his son silently.
Then, in the afternoon and evening, some powerful and powerful people in the imperial capital received the call from the Imperial Palace and went to the imperial palace to meet the Regent.
Different from the previous meetings, this call is a separate audience. Moreover, most of the people who are called are the cronies promoted by the Regent!
Camisillo, Minister of the military. The chancellor of the exchequer. Minister of military logistics, Mount Delan Warcraft. As well as the minister in charge of the imperial business, count villa, and so on, these Empire tycoons, who were deeply labeled as "Chen family", went to the palace one after another to receive Prince Chen's private summon. No one knows what Prince Chen said to them when he met these people alone.
However, after a separate meeting with Prince Chen, these people immediately returned to their own house after leaving the palace, and then made the same move: close the door of the house. Thank you behind closed doors!
Then, the prince Chen received all of his own lineage and started the second call.
The second group of summoners were not Chen family members, but some "non Chen family" officials and officers who had real power in the imperial capital.
These people are not top leaders in the front line, but many people also have some important power in their hands. About 100 people. Was called into the palace, but did not get the Chen Prince's reception.
These people were all taken to a palace in the Imperial City, and were immediately monitored by several teams of imperial guards!
Chen prince sent someone to tell these people, the meaning is very clear: be honest, there is nothing wrong with you.
Some of the officers who had been summoned, some of them old men, were immediately dissatisfied with the scene and cried out: The Regent has summoned us. Is it to put us under house arrest!!
But then. There are smart people nearby to remind these colleagues: don't worry, it's not to our disadvantage! On the contrary, it is a kind of protection for our land.
Some people still don't understand, so they will continue to ask. Those smart people began to sigh: can't you see it? The empire is going to change. Prince Chen is going to give up his seat to the little emperor
These people were temporarily "under house arrest" in the palace, but there were court waiters to take care of their diet. Good to eat and drink, as long as you don't leave this place!
Prince Chen's request to these people is also very simple: at this time, it can be regarded as an effective means to prevent chaos to gather these important ministers who are not his own direct family to monitor them.
As for whether there will be dissatisfaction: smart people should be able to understand that this is a good thing. If it's some idiots... Then naturally there are court waiters who take care of these people and record it quietly. Those people are constantly shouting stupid, and so on in the future, naturally by their own son, slowly to replace these stupid.
"The fifth day."
Prince Chen is sitting in his study.
When that day, he took the so-called "powerful medicine" prepared by the chief mage of the court, his body immediately "recovered" in a short time!
He seemed to be rejuvenated with youth and vitality, the pain in his body quickly disappeared, the feeling of vitality. It's like there's a young flame burning in my body. It's like I'm back in my twenties.
However, he understood that it was at the cost of burning his little remaining vitality by magic potion!
Seven days! I only have seven days. In seven days, he quickly completed the work one by one!
To appease the people, to summon the legitimate, to supervise the non legitimate, to mobilize the army, to mobilize the public security office. The royal army moved
He went back to the place where he used to work day and night: the study.
Since I became Regent. Spend the night in the study, far more than in the bedroom! And even. Sometimes he forgot what his bedroom looked like.
Now sitting in the study, Prince Chen put down a pile of official documents in front of him: These are some state affairs signed by him, which can be regarded as the last state affairs.
The difference is that, compared with the past, these documents are no longer signed by themselves, but added Charlie's name at the end.
This is a signal: tell the world, little emperor Charlie, has begun to officially take power!
"Time is still too short." Prince Chen smiles bitterly.
Now he feels very comfortable without any illness, but he knows that this is his last moment.
When the time of seven days comes... It's an eternal sleep.
"What else can I do with the rest of the time? Alas... Time, time... "
One thing after another came out of his mind. The more he reached the last moment, he wished he could do more. It seems that I wish I could use the rest of the time to pave the road for my son.
"It's too short, too short." Chen Prince helpless sigh.
He thought he had more than a year to live. But unexpectedly, the deterioration of the physical condition far exceeded the expectation.
This time, he just asked little Charlie to go to the front line to reward the army. In fact, he intended to start with this thing, and then from this time on, he slowly let Charlie contact with some government affairs, and through a year's time, he was familiar with the process. Unfortunately, now I don't even have one year's life! Oh, my God. Did you mean to make trouble for the Augustines? Hum... Time, time... Time! God, if you can give me another ten years, no, five years... No, three years! As long as you can give me another three years, I can make the rule of the Augustine family as hard as steel!! I can make this old empire full of twilight glow with youth and vitality again! I can make this rusty national machine, in this war, fast rotation, rebirth!! Looking at these documents in front of, Chen Prince suddenly some exhaustion. Simply throw away the quill pen in your hand, and then pull a bell next to it. Around the study, the royal guards and court magicians guard it closely. These days, Chen Prince is almost sleepless, here desperately to catch up with time. The little emperor, the little princess, the queen and even Princess Louise were all waiting for his last call“ I have two days left. " Looking at the palace mage coming in at the door, Prince Chen said to himself: "go and call Charlie..." he was going to call Charlie, but he suddenly changed his mind. Chen Prince's heart, suddenly emerged that day, in front of his bed, the son at a loss eyes, and daughter Kalina that full of wisdom eyes. The contrast is so striking“ Call Kalina... Alone. "
