Chapter 859: Uprising

This Thomas. The matter of Heihe has been in a uproar in the empire recently, in fact, this matter has already attracted the attention of the people of the whole country, after all, the emperor's eldest prince died, and the second prince also died (the emperor's green matter naturally cannot be made public, so it was announced that he died of illness), and now the royal family has no male heir, which makes the people of the whole country naturally very anxious.

Yes, although the emperor still has two daughters, but the general patriarchal thinking in this world is still dominant, not that there is no female heir to succeed to the throne, but the problem is that the general view is that if a female heir succeeds to the throne, the family will go into decline and chaos, anyway, they don't believe in female rulers.

In short, I don't know if someone deliberately brought the rhythm, anyway, after Linton left, the whole empire seemed to be discussing this matter, and the people's idea was probably to hope for a male heir, although Emperor Wigley was in his fifties this year, but he was not infertile, so this is not still a chance, even if he is younger, it doesn't matter, everyone thinks that the emperor is not going to work hard again.

However, Wigley is not much interested in this, after the previous two blows, he is indeed a little disheartened now, although he probably knows what the Merlowe family represented by Linton wants to do, but he really doesn't want to care, thinking about handing over the throne to his daughter as soon as possible, as much as he loves.

But the problem is that at this juncture, this one is called Thomas. The people of Heihe suddenly appeared out of thin air, which can be said to have come into being.

The surname Heihe is actually a common name for outcasts in a region in the northern part of the empire. There is a river called the Black River in the north of the empire, probably because the surrounding mountains have open-pit coal mines, which are called Black Mountain, so this river is naturally called the Black River. Of course, most of the babies were basically taken away by wild beasts or starved to death, and most of the babies who survived were mostly called the surnames of Heihe.

Of course, as an outcast, Thomas. The name Heihe had never appeared in the ears of the public before, and no one knew who this person really was, and no one had heard of his past at all. However, he became the center of heated discussions throughout the country, as he suddenly claimed to be the illegitimate son of Emperor Wigley, and now the only remaining male heir to the empire.

Thomas. Heihe's claim to be the illegitimate son of Emperor Wigley spread very quickly, at first in the northern part of the empire, and it didn't take long to spread to the entire empire, Princess Yalan also said that there must be someone in it who was helping to publicize this matter, and it was obviously premeditated, and when they found out, the people of the whole country basically knew about the existence of such an illegitimate child.

Of course, the Emperor Wigley had heard about it, but when he heard about it, of course, he felt a little strange. Wigley is not a fool, and he has experienced a lot of political struggles, so no matter how you look at this bastard who suddenly appeared, he thinks that there is some kind of conspiracy, so of course he didn't believe it at the first time, but although he didn't believe it directly, he didn't immediately issue a decree saying that he was fake or something.

Yes, of course, Wigley also wants a male heir, after all, patriarchy is a common recognition in this world, even his emperor is no exception. Besides, he was disheartened because he lost his eldest son, and now he heard that Thomas. Heihe, although he thinks that there is a high probability of being fake, still has a glimmer of expectation, wanting to see if this guy is really his own illegitimate child.

Of course, he didn't hide this matter from Yalan and Fura, and he couldn't hide it, after all, the people of the whole country knew about it, so he directly invited the two of them to the palace to discuss this matter. As a result, the result of the final discussion between the three of them was to investigate it first and see if it was to be heard.

From here, it can also be seen that Yalan and Fura's desire to be the empress is indeed not very big, otherwise, how could a competitor agree to let people investigate, what if the investigation is really true? If you really want to be the emperor, you can talk about it regardless of whether you die at 3721. In short, neither of them objected, so Wigley naturally really went to investigate.

Wigley's investigation is actually very simple, that is, to find Thomas directly. Heihe himself, didn't you say that it was my son, you just come here, let's confront each other and see if you are my son. So I also sent someone to find this Thomas directly. Heihe, let him enter the palace to face the saint.

However, the people sent did not take Thomas. Heihe brought it back, just a letter from the other party. The contents of the letter, no one but Wigley knows, because now the letter is gone. The only thing that can be known is that after reading the letter, Wigley's attitude has obviously changed.

That night, Wigley left the palace and even the city. Of course, Yalan only found out about this later, because Wigley didn't greet them when he left, let alone them, all the ministers didn't know, he just went out directly with his own team of guards, the target should be the north, and I don't know what the specific location is, and two days later, the news of Wigley's death came.

Yes, on the way north, the emperor was assassinated, and all his bodyguards were killed, everything with him was robbed, and the corpse was even exposed to the wilderness naked, and this emperor also died an extremely humble death. And a day after he died, he was found by a passing caravan, and later learned that it was the emperor who died, and he was lucky enough to die near the official road, otherwise the body might not be found, and it would have been gnawed by wild beasts a long time ago.

It is also impossible to hide Wigley's death, and the entire empire knows about it for the first time, so the entire empire is directly in chaos. Originally, the people of the empire were not very satisfied with the matter of the two female heirs, but thinking that the emperor was still there, after all, there was still a chance, and now that the emperor was suddenly gone, what should I do?

And in this chaotic situation, sure enough, someone still jumped out to lead the rhythm, that is, what the maid said before, the entire empire began to go crazy and rumored that it was the Merlowe family who assassinated the emperor Wigley, and the reason given was very acceptable, after all, ...... Didn't the Merlowe family already purge the enemies before? After the entire Norberie family was killed, everyone knew that the number one minister in the empire was now Duke Merlowe, so since he had become the number one minister, was it logical to take the next step?

In short, it was said that Garseen sent someone to assassinate Wigley, and it was Linton who shot it, and anyway, it was the Merlowe family. Then this time it directly provoked the dissatisfaction of the entire empire, because Emperor Wigley was actually quite good to the people, and he had carried out a lot of virtuous policies before, such as giving the people tax exemption in disaster years, relief to the displaced people, etc., in short, the reputation was very good, so now I heard that he was murdered by the imperial ministers, and all of a sudden the fire of the people was ignited.

Of course, the fire of the people belongs to the fire of the people, and they can't actually do anything. From ancient times to the present, only the officials forced the people to rebel, and the people would rebel if they couldn't survive, and the people would rebel if they didn't hear that the emperor was dead, even if it was a good emperor. So chaos is chaos, and there is not much of a situation, but the problem is that someone is picking the lead at this time.

The person who picks the head is naturally Thomas. Black River up. Sure enough, this Thomas. Heihe also jumped out, and he immediately stated two points, the first is the legitimacy of his identity, saying that he is Wigley's illegitimate son and of course the legitimate heir of the empire. Regarding this matter, he said that Emperor Wigley definitely knew that this was true, and he went north out of the palace to see him, and wanted to take himself back as the crown prince, otherwise why would the emperor leave the main city?

The second point is that the person who killed Wigley is a member of the Merlowe family, because they don't want to be recognized by Wigley, and now he is still an illegitimate son, and an illegitimate child has no right to inherit, but Wigley obviously wants to restore his identity and take himself back as an heir to cultivate, and the Merlowe family simply assassinated the emperor directly for their own interests, in order to let the third princess Yalan, who had married into the Merlowe family, ascend the throne directly, so that the Merlowe family could control the entire empire.

So in the current situation, who do you think the people will believe? This everyone thinks this Thomas at first glance. What Heihe said is true, there were still people who doubted the identity of his illegitimate son before, but now that the emperor has inexplicably left the palace and gone north, he may really go to see him, isn't his identity confirmed? And his logic seems to make sense, this is not a conspiracy of the Merlowe family?

All of a sudden, the Merlowe family seemed to be besieged by all the public opinion, and even Princess Yalan was included. And at this time, even more trouble is coming, Thomas here. Heihe directly declared an uprising and started as the heir to the empire, with the goal of inheriting the throne.

I said before that ordinary people will not rebel casually, but the current situation is different, and someone has taken the lead. Once someone coerces public opinion, the situation is completely different. Thomas. Heihe began to pull up his team, but the matter was not over here, because the rebel army was only a peasant army at most, and there was really no threat, but immediately a large number of nobles announced their support for Thomas. Heihe, then the problem is serious.
