Chapter 155, the clouds are treacherous

Dealing with the annoying flies chased from the West, Reinaldo Reyes also marched into the center with cavalry.

Seeing the royal territory getting closer and closer.

Unexpectedly, someone stood in the middle of the avenue to block the way.

"I am Mars Rothstein, on behalf of General Steven Cassdeley, asking to see Viscount Reinaldo Reyes. ”

Steven Casdeley's great name has been heard by all Westers.

Reinado is no exception.

Although he is a martial artist and has a somewhat reckless personality, he also has a rare association with the affairs of the imperial capital when this famous general in the Western Realm sent someone to see him.

Swinging off the knight who was following him, he led Mars Rothstein to the side of the road.

He asked, "I wonder what Your Excellency is looking for me?"

Mars Rothstein said solemnly: "Very important thing.

Your Excellency should know the news of the assassination of His Majesty Adams August, right?"

"Got it. Reinado nodded.

Mars Rothstein said: "I have come today to fight for the crown prince and the second prince for the throne.

Do you know what the two Highnesses represent?"

"What does it represent?"

He didn't tell Reinado about it, he really didn't know anything.

Mars said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Pete August represents the moderates, headed by Archduke Bruce Medici.

His Royal Highness Nick Auguste, the second prince, represents the old school, headed by the Bourbons.

Both moderates and old-fashioned factions would return the fiefdoms of the minor nobles that had been taken by the previous emperor.

However, the moderates only returned the fiefdoms that had been taken from the eastern, southern, western, snowy and northern regions, not the imperial realm and the central lands.

The old guards, on the other hand, returned all their fiefdoms. ”

Both princes had to return their fiefs, although they didn't know about it before, but after this period of inquiry in the West, Reinado also knew that the fief given to him by Emperor Adams had belonged to a group of minor nobles.

If the fief is returned to them, what will they do?

"The Empire wants to treat its heroes badly?"

Mars Rothstein shook his head: "Your Excellency, don't get excited, the empire will not treat the heroes badly, and will not force your fiefdom to be returned to those small nobles.

However, you have to choose the right talents. ”

Reinado understood and hurriedly asked, "Which Highness are you coming on behalf of?"

Mars Rothstein smiled bitterly, "I am not here for His Highness, but for General Steven Cassdeley.

Rather than leaving the future to someone else's decision, why don't we take control of it ourselves?"

"What do you mean?" Reinado immediately clenched the halberd in his hand, "General Steven Cassdeley is going to rebel?"

Mars hurriedly waved his hand: "There is no such thing, don't misunderstand!"

"The general meant to take their place in the place of Bruce Medici, the head of the moderates, or Gendry Bourbon the Elder, the head of the old school.

Become the first hero of the emperor's ascension to the throne!"

"Which emperor?" Reinaldo was stunned, a little puzzled.

Mars patiently explained: "His Royal Highness Pete August and His Highness Nick August can choose one of the two to help, and then defeat the opponent and support him as emperor." ”

Reinado nodded: "I see. ”

"Then what benefits can I get, it should be more than just keeping the fief, right?"

"Of course not. Mars nodded: "As long as things go well, a county is not a problem." ”

"Very good!" Reinado suddenly became excited: "I will cooperate with you!"

Mars smiled and nodded, and then asked in a deep voice, "By the way, Your Excellency has been to the Alternate Plane, I wonder if you have broken through to the Golden Rank?"

"Golden Order?" Reinado snorted lightly when he heard this, "Do you look down on me?"

"I've already gotten the Golden Peak, and I'm only half a step away from breaking through to the Master!"

Hearing this, Mars was stunned for a moment, Shangguan Steven Cassdeley is also a general with great achievements, he has been to the heteroplane to study, more than ten years have passed, and he is still wandering in the golden level, and he is not sure to break through the master level at all.

He didn't expect Reinaldo Reyes to have such strength.

"Your Excellency is really talented!"

......

......

Imperial capital.

In the secret room of the hidden mansion, the second prince, Nick August, had received the news of Steven Keysdeley's imminent arrival, but he did not know that this person planned to sell at a price and was ready to see the opportunity to pick up the bargain.

Nick August thought that with the support of the Royal Knights and the Royal Praetorian Guard, the chances of winning were more than sixty percent.

but unknowingly fell into the calculations of others.

After delivering various messages to the second prince, Henrithe Bourbon returned to the Bourbon family's mansion in the imperial capital through a secret passage to meet the Grand Duke of the South, his old father, Gendry Bourbon.

The report said: "Father, everything is done.

Our soldiers from the south managed to assemble in the center, and the people from the east found nothing.

Duchess Yelena Romanov of the Snowy Land asked for 20,000 people, I did not give it, only agreed to give it to 3,000 people.

However, she also agreed to a deal, promising not to go south.

Duchess Isabella Stuart of the Northlands received the 30,000 gold coins I had sent, and promised not to send troops south.

Steven Casdeley of the Westside has led his troops to the Imperial Territory to lurk. ”

Gendry Bourbon Sr. nodded: "I see, how is that guy Bruce Medici?"

Still busy with the enthronement ceremony?"

Henrithe Bourbon: "Yes, the Grand Duke of the East is still busy with the enthronement ceremony.

Didn't find any of our moves. ”

Gendry Bourbon Sr. shook his head: "No, he has already found out, but he is not sure how many hole cards we have."

He's the Grand Duke of the East, and he must have taken care of us. ”

Henritte Bourbon: "So... Father... What do we do now?"

"Don't worry, I've got the perfect plan. Gendry Bourbon Sr. smirked: "The Medici family will be completely over, and will no longer be a threat." ”

Henritte Bourbon thought of his disgusting brother: "Father asked Louis to carry out his plan against the Medici?

Will there be a possibility of exposure?"

Hearing this, old Gendry frowned: "Louis is not as unbearable as you say, perhaps more unbearable than you say."

But I'm not afraid of the plan being exposed, because there is someone who will help us succeed!

The strongest castles are often breached by the enemy from within.

I don't want the two of you to continue to fight among themselves!"

Henritte smiled bitterly: "Father, I never wanted to fight, but Louis didn't think so. ”

Old Gendry snorted heavily: "Forget it, don't talk about this matter, you go out of the city to meet those royal knights, and send 50,000 gold coins to them."

If you want others to do things, you can't be stingy!"

"Good father. ”

Henrith obediently asked the butler for money, and then went out of the city through another secret passage in the mansion to send money to the members of the Royal Knights to contact the relationship.

......

......

Inside the Royal Palace.

Peter August, who is about to ascend the throne as emperor, is a smart man, but he can't be ruthless as an emperor, but attaches great importance to family, friendship, and love, and loves his only brother very much.

He could not imagine that his father's death was due to the discovery of his brother's secret connection to the Bourbons.

I couldn't believe that my brother would attack his father.

In terms of ability, as the first heir, he has been recognized by many royal families and imperial powerhouses who have entered the heteroplane, and he knows how to compromise and will take the overall situation into account.

The ability will definitely not be bad.

Although he values his relationship with his brother, Pete is not an indecisive person.

For the assassination of the emperor, the younger brother of the conspiracy was arranged.

He gritted his teeth and endured the pain and ordered a wanted person.

Or is it the kind of killing once discovered!

The enthronement ceremony is approaching.

No matter what his brother Nick is doing, helping the assassin assassinate his father cannot be changed, and he must pay the price for doing something wrong!

As for the other Bourbon family involved in the murder of the emperor.

Because they are the guardians of the southern border, their power is huge, there is no Royal Knights, no Royal Praetorian Guard, and no support from the Alien Plane, there is only one Medici family, and he can't move for the time being.

But.

Through Bruce Medici, he has laid a net against the Bourbons!

More than a dozen silver-level powerhouses were arranged to monitor the Bourbon Mansion.

Just wait for the evidence to be found.

Then the Bourbon family was convicted of murdering the emperor, killing the king, and instigating his younger brother to rebel and rebel......

Pete August is determined to exterminate the Bourbons!

As the only nobleman who voluntarily gave up his fiefdom and defected to Adams August, Martin Burns also joined the formation of Crown Prince Pete August because he was transferred from the military department to the Royal Academy of Knowledge.

After all, in legal theory, the throne is the inheritance of the first heir.

And the second son of the emperor with a great stain.

It is impossible to get his support.

Although the crown prince is relatively gentle on changing the song, he is also in favor of changing the song and is willing to give the commoners a chance to fight for their future.

It also gave hope to the empire.

"Big brother, there are so many people in our family, and people eat horses here in the imperial capital, and I'm afraid that the current money won't last for half a month. ”

Marvin Burns found his eldest brother who came out of the palace and immediately cried poor.

Mark Burns also said: "Big brother, second brother said that it lasted for half a month, but in fact, he ate one meal a day, and we have been crying a lot recently!"

Listening to the words of the two younger brothers crying poorly, I also saw my brother-in-law McCray Stone with a helpless face.

Martin looked embarrassed, when he gave up the territory, he didn't expect how his family would settle down, and the emperor gave a lot of rewards for the two wars, so he didn't think about the issue of property.

Considering that their family has no property in the imperial capital, the recent chaos has also caused prices to skyrocket.

A big family, more than 300 people living in the imperial capital really spend money like running water!

"And how much money do we have now?"

Mark Burns: "Less than two hundred gold coins, and now black bread costs thirty silver coins a piece, and ten gold coin pages can't buy a piece of meat." ”

"Prices are so ridiculously expensive?" Martin Burns is obviously a typical inappropriate family who does not know the cost of firewood and rice, "The Department of Taxation has increased a lot of business taxes this month?"

Marvin Burns shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, I only know that the nobles in the imperial capital have made a lot of money."

Because Gabriel Lanton made money for the civilians who worked for him.

And they make more money from those civilians. ”

"These bastards don't take the imperial order seriously at all!" Martin Burns was furious when he heard this: "If you continue like this, don't think about the chaos to be quelled!"

"I'm going back to meet His Royal Highness Pitt and Prime Minister Bruce!"

Saying that, Marvin Burns, Mark Burns, and McCray Stone watched Martin, the head of the Burns family, run back to the palace, still trying to find a way to solve the problem of eating.

Back at the palace, the crown prince, who was guarding the body of the former emperor Adams, listened to Martin's words.

Immediately let the prime minister leave what he was doing.

He asked, "The price of goods in the city has reached thirty silver coins a black loaf, can Your Excellency the Prime Minister make the nobles who control the shops converge?"

"I don't want to see the empire in chaos any longer!"

Bruce Medici sighed: "Your Highness, things are not so easy to solve. ”

"Gabriel Langton's doppelganger was dissipated by the Assassins, and without him controlling the Royal Chamber of Commerce to maintain prices, those who are hungry for profit will not relent. ”

Crown Prince Pete: "Our empire has a lot of people, and I don't believe only Gabrie can handle the greedy." ”

"I don't care what means you use. ”

"Get prices back to normal by tomorrow!"

"Also, I remember Gabry said that he left a clone to manage the territory off the coast of the Northlands, and immediately ordered him to come to the imperial capital!"

The domineering that an emperor should have, as the crown prince Pete as the first heir, has it.

Bruce Medici was pleased with this.

Nodding his head, he thought for a moment, and then said directly to Martin Burns, who reported the situation: "If this matter is handed over to you, are you sure that it will be completed?"

As a general of the military department, he could not transfer military power at will, and became a teacher in the Knowledge Academy, but only served as a deputy for Langton.

Martin Burns didn't think of himself as a Southerner.

It will be so fast.

So suddenly it was reused!

"Yes!"

"Although I don't know anything about business, I can take the soldiers and order those bad merchants to restore the regular price!"

Bruce Medici smiled wryly and shook his head: "Very rough way. ”

Pete didn't care: "Just solve this problem." ”

"It's best to fix it today!"

"I'll go right away!"

With the Crown Prince's approval, Martin Burns immediately called his brother and brother-in-law, who were still struggling with money, and then went to the military headquarters to gather soldiers and break into shops in the city that raised the price of food.

Martin Burns's approach is very offensive.

But the nobles considered that the new emperor was about to ascend the throne, and the imperial capital would definitely not be able to continue the chaos.

After all, Martin Burns was the first nobleman to abandon everything to the emperor.

Appointed as a general, he was also transferred to the Royal Academy of Knowledge as a teacher supervisor, and his trust level was even lower than that of Lanton.

With the trust of the first emperor, the crown prince Pete will also reuse him.

Therefore.

The nobles of the imperial capital temporarily put away their dissatisfaction with Martin.

But they have already lost benefits.

And the beam is finished!

When some people accidentally come into contact with Henry Bourbon of the Bourbon family, they also know that the second prince, Nick August, wants to compete for the throne.

And learned......

The second prince, Nick August, is willing to return all the nobles' fiefs!

This wise decision is fascinating.

Most of the nobles were moved.

When Henrithe Bourbon released the second message, the nobles knew that both the Royal Knights and the Royal Guard supported the Second Prince.

The situation suddenly became cloudy!

...... To be continued......
