Chapter Eighty-Nine: Before the Turmoil
"Go down!", said Pusling III lightly.
"Father!", Prince Morton said with some reluctance, but there was still silence.
As a last resort, he had to turn around and leave.
"Why, why?", Morton asked himself frantically the moment he walked out of the palace gate.
Couldn't help but make his eyes more and more crazy and sharp.
"Your Highness, how is my plan, has the king given you the right to be regent?", after seeing Prince Morton come out, Nick hurriedly followed, and said with a smile.
Nick was one of Prince Morton's most effective advisers, and often advised him in private, much to his liking.
"Alas, the plan was carried out according to your plan, and my father did fall seriously ill at once after learning of the defeat in the north, but he still looked down on me as a son. ”
Prince Morton said hatefully.
"Don't worry, let's see what the king's attitude is, we still have a hole card!", Nick smiled calmly, as if everything was under control.
"I really don't want to get to that point. Morton sighed, put his hands on it, and walked towards the outside of the palace.
Seeing this, Nick hurriedly followed, and the two quickly disappeared outside the palace gate.
At this moment, in the king's bedroom, after Prince Morton left, Moslin III ordered to call his most trusted brother, Prince Antonio.
Soon, the prince, who had been waiting in the royal capital for a long time, immediately rushed to the king's bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, why have you summoned me?" asked Antonio politely.
"Go down, all of you. ", said to the guards and maids in the dormitory.
Then, after everyone had retreated, he looked at Antonio and said, "Now that outsiders are not here, just call me big brother!"
"Big brother!", Antonio shouted heavily.
He knew that his brother must have something very important to arrange, otherwise he would not have engaged in such a big battle.
"Ahem, you help me up. ", said Puslin III weakly.
Antonio was strong and quickly helped him up carefully.
Leaning on the edge of the bed, Puslin III was silent for a long time before asking, "Antonio, what do you think of Morton?"
"Prince Morton? I think he is occasionally naïve, but with a little guidance he is a good material. Antonio hesitated and said.
"Do you think that if I give him the power of such a great empire as Norran, will he be able to govern it?" asked Puslin III again.
"It's... , the subordinate brother will try his best to assist him!", Seeing this, Antonio hurriedly indicated the way of the center.
"Assistant, the first thing he will do after he takes office is probably to get rid of all of you old ministers. My son, I know too well, he is stubborn and self-serving, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.
I thought he had grown a lot over the years, but after I asked him a series of questions, I suddenly realized that he was still the same person.
I really don't feel comfortable entrusting such a huge empire to someone like him to govern.
It's a pity that his eldest brother died in the rebellion of the previous years, and my other sons, even him, are in danger!"
Puslin said fiercely, it was to say that he had to do everything in his life.
"Then Your Majesty, what do you mean?", Antonio's heart was faintly uneasy, and he asked tentatively, even the title changed from "Big Brother" to "Your Majesty".
"I mean, I want you to take my place, what do you think?", Puslin III said with a smile.
"After all, Prince Morton is your first heir to the throne!", Antonio said firmly.
"Hey, in the face of the country's plan, how can there be so many considerations, the king must be selected, plus you and I are brothers of the same father and mother, so why not say it!", Puslin III said solemnly.
"What about Prince Morton's side, and if he doesn't agree, will it cause turmoil?" asked Antonio, a little worried.
"You don't have to worry about this, I'll find a time to talk to him, after all, I don't want him to become a hard-working and scheming emperor like me.
After you ascend the throne, it is enough to give him the richest fief and let him live this life in peace. But remember, you must not give him the right to the army, otherwise it is only a matter of time before Norrland splits. ”
After that, the two had a series of detailed discussions on future plans.
It took a long time for Pusling III to get Antonio to reluctantly agree.
"Well, I hope I'm right!", said Puslin III with a heavy sigh after Antonio's departure.
However, what Puslin III did not expect was that all his previous conversations with Antonio were heard by his most trusted guards outside the door.
The guard then walked towards Prince Morton's mansion.
"Your Highness, news has just come from the palace, and soon after you left, the king summoned Prince Antonio!", Nick said to Prince Morton, who was still a little lost.
"What did they say?", Prince Morton vaguely guessed in his mind the reason why his father had summoned Prince Antonio this time, but he asked out loud.
"His Majesty said...", said Here Nick hesitated, looked at Prince Morton, and for a moment did not know whether to tell him the truth.
"Mother-in-law and mother are not your character, you say!", seeing this, Morton knew that his guess was probably true.
"The king, he... He said that he wanted Antonio to take over as the new king, and that your ability was not enough to govern such a huge empire, and he was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors!"
Nick said cautiously, for fear that Prince Morton would take his anger out on him in the next moment.
This time, however, Morton was surprisingly quiet, as if he had heard something expected.
"Haha, what a shame for my ancestors and ancestors, is my Morton so unbearable!", Morton laughed angrily.
He exhaled deeply, seemed to have a firm belief, and said to himself: "Father, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
"Your Highness, you mean, to use that army?", Nick asked tentatively.
"That's right!", replied Prince Morton heavily, as if he had exhausted all his life's strength.
I think this may be the most important turning point in Prince Morton's life, and as for right and wrong, fate and time will tell.
"I want to know, how did you convince so many people to support me, many of them supported my eldest brother before!", Morton asked with some puzzlement as he looked at Nick as he prepared to leave.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, and who in the entire Norlan Empire today doesn't know that you are the first in line to the throne!", Nick said with a smile, and then turned to leave.
It's just that out of the reach of Prince Morton, the corners of Nick's mouth are slightly raised, as if he has completed an unknown conspiracy.
