Chapter 73: Throne Turmoil
After entering the winter year of March, King James's condition became more and more serious, and he even appeared confused and dying many times.
At this time, everyone in the kingdom realized: the 65-year-old King James is really going to die.
The cause of the disease still can't be found, and even the red-robed priest of the Bright Holy See, who spent millions of gold coins, still has no effect after a "Great Blessing Technique" is cast.
But the system in Zhou Ming's brain told him: "King James has been given a special Gu poison, this poison does not harm the body at all, but it will gnaw at the soul of the poisoned, and now King James's soul has been gnawed by this Gu poison, and there is no possibility of cure." ”
"Dark mage?"
Zhou Ming's face changed, and he immediately guessed a possibility.
There are many professions in the Azeroa plane, in addition to the common mages, swordsmen, and clergy of the Holy See, as well as natural druids, and necromancers.
The Black Mage is one of the branches of the Necromancer.
This type of mage is characterized by relatively weak common spell attacks, but at the soul level, there are always many bizarre or gruesome means that endanger the lives of others.
It is said that in ancient times, some necromancers who spread plagues and deadly diseases by manipulating corpses to spread plagues and deadly diseases, and the empire of the dead they created, the pressure and fear brought to the living are still recorded in the books of many kingdom libraries.
However, under the joint attack of all forces, the number of existing undead mages can be described as extremely rare.
Unexpectedly, King James was actually plotted by the dark magician.
Who did it?
This question immediately popped up in Zhou Ming's mind.
It also secretly sent some people to follow up and investigate several suspected people who may be the assassination of King Jaime.
But there was a gap of more than a week, and there were no major gains.
It wasn't until March 15 that King Jaime, who was on his hospital bed, said a lot of incomprehensible nonsense, his eyes kicked violently, and he suddenly died with a whimper.
King Jaime is dead.
A generation of kings who are not male masters, but can also be regarded as British masters, passed away like this.
"Father, father!" the three princes wept and died.
"Father, why did you just leave?!" Princess Syvanis fainted.
After a few days of chaos.
According to the provisions of the Succession Act, Crown Prince Luther ascended the throne and became the new king.
However, Luther sat on the throne for only three days, and just as he was about to show his absurd side, he rolled off the throne, was reduced to a commoner, and exiled to the oil smelting factories of the Black Swamp.
What's going on?
Regicide!
Someone accused him of committing the crime of killing the king, teaming up with the dark magicians outside to kill his own father!
"Boom~"
All the ministers looked at the designator, the second prince, Nimes, and felt an uproar.
"Nonsense! I ...... I didn't murder my father!" Luther looked flustered and flatly denied it.
But the second prince Nim presented evidence, irrefutable evidence: including half a pack of unused Gu poison, a maid who didn't have time to kill his mouth, and Queen Yala and two court warriors who could help testify.
It turned out that four months ago, Prince Luther fed his father a bowl of bear meat soup on the pretext of offering "tonics", and poisoned the meat soup, killing His Majesty.
Later, in order to clear his suspicion, Luther not only killed a few mouths, but even Queen Yala was explained by him and agreed to help him lie and create an alibi.
But......
After learning that his most beloved eldest son, in order to sit on the throne earlier, actually poisoned his father in a frenzy, Queen Yara couldn't accept this fact no matter how much she protected her shortcomings, so she had to stand up and slap Luther twice.
In this way, Luther, who had only been king for three days, was slapped into the quagmire.
In accordance with the Law of Succession, the second prince, Nime, ascended the throne and became king.
But......
Nimes sat in the king's seat for only two days before being pulled down by another designator.
It was shorter than three days for Prince Luther.
And Nime's fate was even worse, and he tried to resist stubbornly, and was finally killed by the court warriors.
What's going on here?
It turns out that Crown Prince Luther is just a pawn to be used, and the real murderer of King James is the second prince Nime!
It was he who found the black magician, bought a poison, and then sent someone to set up a bureau, so that Prince Luther knew about this poison, bought it and didn't say anything, but also let those people instill in Prince Luther "The king is not dead, and the prince of this kingdom will never count" and other remarks, which successfully made Prince Luther move to kill and take action.
It's just that the second prince Nimes also made the same fatal mistake as Prince Luther: the mouth is not clean.
Of the five people he sent to instigate the crown prince, only four of them were destroyed, and the remaining one was alive, so he had to run to the third prince Jonad and tell him everything.
So the second prince Nim was also planted, and it was impossible for the nobles and ministers to accept it no matter what, a king who not only killed his father, but also framed his brother!
Queen Yala scolded even more: "How did I give birth to such a despicable son of yours?"
In the midst of the scolding, the second prince, Nim, hit the street.
According to the "Inheritance Law", the third prince, Jonader, ascended to the throne.
But......
The third prince, Jonader, was only a little stronger than his two elder brothers, and he was king for about a week, and finally he was pulled down.
Because the black mage who sold Gu poison was caught.
After some crying dad and shouting mother's torture, the black mage recruited them all.
Summoned who the person who bought the Gu poison from him.
It was one of the subordinates sent by the third prince Jonad.
The subordinate had been killed by Jonad, but the dark mage, who was proficient in soul manipulation and kept a hand, not only got the 1 million gold coins sent by the subordinate to buy poison money, but also made a mark on him, and after he died, he successfully obtained his soul.
It turned out that this black mage was a professional "monarch killer", he traveled to hundreds of kingdoms, helped dozens of princes realize their dream of ascending to the throne in advance, harvested the souls of thousands of exterminated people, and the money he earned bought five space rings, as well as countless resource materials in the space rings.
As a result, because the black magician wanted to finish the wonderful story of this "battle for the throne", he stayed in the Kingdom of Addud for two more days, and finally fell into Zhou Ming's hands.
Naturally.
When Zhou Ming took this black magician and told all the ministers and nobles what had happened.
Everyone was stunned.
Queen Yala beat her chest hard and cried, "God, what sin have I done to give birth to three such sons?"
"I don't want to live anymore!"
Queen Yara, who was completely devastated, slammed her head directly into the pillar.
Six-month-old Stephnes, who was more than six months pregnant, quickly grabbed her.
Everyone looked at each other, such a ridiculous and bloody scene, they really didn't know what to do.
"Queen Mother, I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
In the face of sufficient evidence, the third prince Jonad did not quibble, knelt down in front of Queen Yara, sincerely admitted his mistake, and said that he would never do it again in the future!
Moreover, King Jaime has a total of three sons, one is now exiled and one is dead, and only one of his legitimate heirs remains, so he hopes that everyone will forgive him for his mistake this time, and said that he will never do it again in the future, and he will definitely be a good son, a good king, and take care of this kingdom!
He hopes that everyone will forgive him for this mistake and give him a chance!
After all, this kingdom must be inherited by someone!
At Jonad's words, some ministers nodded, thinking that the kingdom could no longer stand the repeated tosses, and must be stabilized, and under the governance of a new king who is not excellent, but also qualified, and put on a normal track!
Since Jonad consciously admitted his mistake and was the only remaining prince, and after he sat on the throne, he performed well in those seven days, it is better to give him a chance to be the king for a while......
But this voice was immediately suppressed by the nobles, who resolutely opposed Jonad's continued sitting on the throne of the king.
"As the third prince, there is no possibility of inheriting the throne, but you instigated the second prince to frame the crown prince, and then let the crown prince poison the king, in order to achieve ulterior purposes, kill three people in a row...... With such scheming, such viciousness, how will you get it in the future when you become a king?"
"Yes, we can't let Jonad continue to be king!"
"Jonad seems to be honest, but in fact he is a man with a beast heart, far more treacherous and ruthless than his two brothers. ”
"No matter who is chosen to be the king, it is better than Jonad in the throne!"
Under the unanimous opposition of the nobles, the third prince Jonader also embarked on the road of exile in the Black Swamp.
In this turmoil for the throne, the three princes, after sitting on the king's throne for a few days, did not sit on the hot buttocks, and all rolled down in ashes.
However, this turmoil is not completely over.
When Zhou Ming, who took a lot of twists and turns, caught a woman who was famous in the royal capital, this woman known as the "Rose of the Royal Capital", after becoming the mistress of the third prince Jonader, gave her advice, turned the clouds and rain, and almost helped Jonad sit on the throne, Zhou Ming interrogated it well.
