Because of this concern, Morey seized the gap and intercepted Bert, who was about to go to the palace to prepare for the official enthronement ceremony.

"Are you saying that Lucien didn't have a good idea of coming this time?"

"Yes!"

Then Morey told him exactly what had happened at the city wall ceremony.

"It's really weird to look at it this way!"

Bert naturally knows Lucian's temper, even if Morey has Yarman's backing now, there is no reason not to even fight with a cannon, there must be a demon when things go wrong!

However, he doesn't have more time to prepare now, so he can only block it!

He doesn't believe it, can this guy make him a king?

Is it true that the Holy Spear Kingdom is a vassal of his Oghuz Empire?

......

Today's palace is densely packed with people, and this palace can accommodate nearly five hundred people at the same time, and it is also crowded.

When he was watching the ceremony on the city wall before, Morey was still wondering why there were so few people, but now it seems that these pampered adults can't stand the sun outside, and they are all waiting in the palace!

However, staying in this palace, which is crowded with the same salted fish produced by the canning factory that he has just established, is probably not as comfortable as the spacious city wall outside!

As Bert slowly walked into the palace, everyone stopped talking and watched as the new and venerable king walked towards his father, who was waiting for him under the throne.

As the first guest of honor, Morey could observe the old king's expression more clearly.

It was a sincere expression of relief from the heart, and it seemed that Bert's growth over the years was exactly what he expected.

Most of the great nobles of the Holy Spear Kingdom had such expressions, as if the elders had seen the promising juniors.

Even those guys from the southern provinces pretended to be happy.

No, it won't work! Otherwise, the ironclad ship of the Far Eastern Butcher will knock on the door with artillery fire!

Among them, there is a noble man of the Holy Spear Kingdom who is very intriguing. Glaston, the Fourth Prince's Royal Highness, looked at his brother's expression obviously very complicated, as far as Morey perceived, there were many emotions such as jealousy, resentment, helplessness, and anticipation, some of which were even contradictory, making Morey wonder if His Royal Highness Abbey had quietly taken up the ancient profession of an actor.

Perhaps thinking that everyone was looking at her brother at the moment, and no one was paying attention to her, Abbe seemed to inadvertently glance at a place, and then took her gaze back as if nothing had happened.

This move happened to be seen by Morey, who was paying attention to him, and he followed Abbey's line of sight to look there, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure, and he was striding out at the moment.

"Your Excellency, I know it's rude to say this, but could you please reconsider the successor of the Holy Lance Kingdom?"

As soon as Lucien said this, there was an uproar in the royal palace, and almost all the ministers looked at the third prince of the Oghuz Empire angrily.

Today is the enthronement ceremony of my king, and you actually said that you are changing people at this time?

The blessing of the god of courage does not burn out your brain!

"Why did Prince Lucien say that?"

The old king smiled, as if he had not been affected in the slightest.

However, those who are familiar with the king understand that there are generally only two situations when the old king smiles, one is that he is really happy and relaxed, and now someone questions his heir to the throne in front of him, which is obviously to be ruled out, then there is only the last one left, that is, when he really wants to kill someone.

I don't know if Lucien knows the trick, but he saw His Royal Highness the prince step forward, smile and hand a roll of silk to the attendant on the side.

The Oghuz Empire admired silk, so most valuable documents were written in precious magical silk.

After the old king unfolded the scroll, he immediately raised his eyebrows at a glance.

"Your country intends to bring about a reconciliation between our country and the Principality of Eastern Victoria, and to cede the frontier provinces to our country?"

The old king's words suddenly made the entire palace commotion.

Although under the instigation of the three major empires, several neighboring countries near the Holy Lance Kingdom are not on good terms with them, and there are wars from time to time.

But when it comes to threats, how can those small countries that can only cower on the border between the two countries compare to the Eastern Principality, which has repeatedly invaded the Far East.

And Yuanjiang Province is the bridgehead of the Dongwei Principality to attack the Holy Lance Kingdom, if the Yuanjiang Province is ceded to the Holy Lance Kingdom, it is equivalent to giving up the Yuanjiang base camp that has been built with huge investment in the past few decades, not to mention that the threat will be solved once and for all, but at least there will be no major war between the two countries for at least twenty years.

"Exactly! If the king doesn't believe me, he can ask the envoy of the Dongwei Kingdom! ”

As he spoke, Lucien let out a middle-aged man with a bitter face.

This diplomat, the old king is also very familiar, and he can always see this face in the negotiations after the war over the years, and he is also an old acquaintance.

"Prince Lucien is right, my king intends to reconcile with your country, and assign the frontier provinces to your country's jurisdiction, but it's just ......"

The envoy suddenly spat out, but Lucian took over the conversation.

"It's just that, because considering that His Royal Highness Bert's statecraft is mostly radical, Dongwei is afraid that this rare opportunity for peace will disappear, so he also asks the king to reconsider the candidate for the heir to the throne for the sake of the people of the two countries!"

This time, Lucian was a poor dagger, and he clearly wanted to use the frontier provinces of the Principality of East Wei as bait to replace Bert.

Unlike the previous hatred, when Lucian put his chips on the table, the ministers couldn't help but start whispering.

The Holy Lance Kingdom has unified the consciousness of the nobility over the years, and it is to fight to become an empire.

But there are a lot of disagreements on the question of timing, such as Bert, who feels that the opportunity to become an empire is complete, and there are people who have time to show their fangs, but there are also many nobles who feel that the time is still too early and have to keep their heads up.

In addition, fighting always kills people, so not everyone is willing to fight, and if one Bert can be exchanged for the stable development of the kingdom for twenty years, I am afraid that everyone will have to make a calculation in their hearts.

"Bert, although you and I have had some conflicts, I know that you have always been a person who puts the overall situation first, and today's matter may be a little unfair to you, but I still hope that you can think more about the civilians of the two countries!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lucian took aim at Bert, who had not spoken.

Bert smiled and said in a relaxed tone:

"This throne belongs to the father, and whoever sits in that position will naturally be decided by the father!"

Just as Lucian showed a "I knew you would say that" expression, he reached out and interrupted Lucian's speech, and continued:

"If you are willing to let the Far Eastern Army enter the frontier provinces, I can take the initiative to resign from my father from the throne!"

"Your Royal Highness, do you dare?"
