Chapter 256: Can I Not Go?
The person who came was indeed the second prince Kaladze, and I don't know who sent him the letter, so he rushed over directly with a few guards and servants.
Behind Karazek, Duang saw Blatter dressed in court clothes, Duang had been back for a long time, Blatter had never come to Duang, and I don't know what he thought, because of the guilt of changing jobs, or because he really had nothing to say to Duang, or because of some other relationship...... Anyway, he didn't come to Duang, and Duang didn't go to him.
Now, when they met suddenly, the two of them were a little embarrassed, Duang was generous, but it didn't matter, he wanted to say hello to Blatter, after all, his sister Lilia is still working as a maid in her own house, and she was just bought by herself with a deed of sale not long ago, and she has a lifelong establishment, just in front of her face, Duang can't be too stiff with Blatter.
However, at this occasion, at this place, and at this situation, it was really inconvenient for the two of them to say anything, so they just nodded, and then, Blatter followed Karazec without stopping.
Karazek also saw Duang, but the expression on his face did not change, and now he was completely concerned about the sudden assassination that had just happened.
There are no fools present!
The question that Du Ang had just thought of, almost everyone present thought of.
If the eldest prince Powell is killed, then the one who can benefit the most from it is undoubtedly the second prince Karaze.
Charlie Sixteen has two sons and two daughters, according to the tradition of the Bauhinia Empire, the throne is generally passed on to men and not to women without very special circumstances, if the eldest prince Powell dies, even if he knows that the murderer behind the scenes is the second prince Kaladze, even if he has no surname in his heart, Charlie Sixteen has to pinch his nose and pass the throne to him, because, if it is not passed to him, there will be no other candidate for the heir to the throne...... Alas, no matter how he is not a human being, he is also his own flesh and blood!
If this were the case, Charlie XVI would have had to make such a choice against his will.
The throne, this is a big prize.
If it is for the throne, then no matter what the second prince Karazek does, it will not be too unexpected.
People die for money, birds die for food, not to mention a splendid country?
Besides, the character of the second prince Karaze's character ...... Almost everyone present believed that the second prince, Karaze, was the most likely suspect to do such a thing.
It's just that this matter is too important, and no one dares to talk nonsense before there is clear evidence, so everyone looks like they are looking at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and mouths, and they are silent.
They are not stupid, and neither is the second prince, Karaze, stupid.
After understanding the general situation of the matter, and seeing the reactions of these nobles who were more shrewd than the old fox, the second prince Karazek suddenly became furious. His temper has always been like this, and he can't hide things in his heart, and he doesn't ask about his eldest brother's situation, so he jumps to his feet and scolds: "What do you mean by these turtle bastards? Look up, all for me, look up at me! Do you all think I made someone do this? Do you all think so? Damn it...... Okay, it seems that you all think so, but let me tell you, this has nothing to do with me, nothing at all, if I do it, let the goddess of light hack me to death with a thunderbolt, do you all understand? ”
Karaze's face was red and his neck was thick, and he jumped and jumped angrily, just like a wronged ruffian in the market, and he couldn't see any bit of royal demeanor at all, of course, he didn't blame him for this appearance, no matter who he was, in his position, he must be an extremely aggrieved and angry look, if it was as plain as water, it was not normal, besides, he himself was not that kind of faint surname, if he was really silent and endured or had a ghost in his heart, then there was a problem.
However, at this time, the only one who dared to take his words was his own brother, the eldest prince Powell.
"Karaze, what are you doing so much? No one said you did it, be quiet! ”
It's rare for the eldest prince Powell to pose like a big brother in front of the second prince Kaladze, no way, if in private, there are only two of them, Powell won't talk to Kaladze like this at all, but there is no way, now so many nobles are watching, everyone is watching, they are all courtiers of their own royal family, and there is also a special envoy of the Byron Empire Carter, in front of these people, Kaladze is indeed undignified to scold the royal family like this.
Powell really can't sit idly by and ignore such a situation.
However, the second prince Karaze's bastard temper came up, and he was also very awe-inspiring to his eldest brother, so he didn't care at all, he rolled his eyes: "What's the matter?" It's not you who dare to be wronged. They didn't say anything, but what kind of eyes did they have? You're not blind, are you? Can you see that? The look in their eyes clearly said that I did this. Big brother, you are my own eldest brother, today I Kaladze is in front of so many people, I will leave you here, this matter, I didn't do it, it has nothing to do with me. Do you suspect that I covet your status as crown prince? I also told you, I'm not rare, not rare at all, after my father returns to heaven, that throne, even if it is given to me for nothing, I don't want it, you can keep it yourself, I'm not interested......"
Karaze's emotions were very excited, and his speech was a little thoughtless, and as soon as he said this, everyone present, including Duang, was stunned at once.
You must know that the Bauhinia Empire is an imperial country, and the emperor is the core of this country, and he is the supreme power holder in this country, and no one dares to discuss the emperor's personal life and death in public, not even the prince!
Just now Kaladze said that after his father returns to heaven...... In this way, it is definitely a taboo topic, that is, he, if he were an ordinary person who said such things in public, he would definitely be thrown into prison, maybe it was more serious, and he would be sent directly to the gallows, hearing Karadze say such a topic here without concealment, everyone present had a chilling feeling, and they couldn't wait to quickly stuff donkey hair in their ears, regretting in their hearts, why didn't they take sick leave before, and how good it would be if they didn't come to this banquet.
And at this moment, suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the quiet hall, the sound of plates and bowls falling to the ground and being shattered.
His Majesty Charles XVI, the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, suddenly appeared at the door at some point, and he also rushed to the door after hearing someone report the news, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard the second prince Kaladze making nonsense in the hall because of his anger, and such a topic was heard by Charles XVI, and it would be strange if he didn't get angry.
He just picked up a teacup in his hand and threw it to the ground.
"Kaladze, you, you...... What did you just say? Charlie's face turned pale, and the scepter in his hand was clenched tightly, almost clutching out of water.
Behind him were sixteen heavily armed guards.
In normal times, Charles XVI patrols his palace, and he will not bring so many people, at most only four of the closest guards are close to him, but now that there are assassins in the palace, the security index has been reduced all of a sudden, and Charles XVI has increased the strength of the guards around him by four times at once.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Charlie XVI come in, everyone except Carter knelt down on one knee and saluted, and Carter also touched his chest with one hand and bowed...... This is the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, the holder of the highest power, in front of him, everyone is his courtiers, his subjects, he has the power to kill and kill anyone, and his emotions can even be higher than the laws of the empire. This is the empire, where the rule of one man is greater than the rule of law.
Charles XVI was furious, as an old emperor, he was exploited in his own nest and almost killed his heir to the throne, which made him feel extremely angry, and those words of Karazek just now made him feel angry and soared into the sky.
That's right, as we said before, Charlie XVI has an almost indulgent doting on his family, especially his own children, but this does not mean that the second prince Kaladze can easily discuss his life and death behind his back, as well as the issue of succession to the throne.
No matter how kind a father is, there are times when he is annoyed by his naughty son, not to mention, this father is not an ordinary person, he is the emperor of the Bauhinia Empire, the supreme emperor here!
He stretched out a finger and pointed it at Karaze, who was still angry with a little trembling, and turned his head to the guards behind him and ordered: "Go, tie up this nonsense rebel for me, throw him into the prison, and let him sober his mind!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards came out of the crowd, came directly to the side of the second prince, Karaze, took out a rope, and tied him up firmly.
Karadze was the second prince......
What about the second prince?
These guards don't care about that, they are all Charlie XVI's personal guards, and their loyalty is even higher than that of the two princes, the direction of Charlie XVI's fingers is the goal of their progress, no matter whether the other party is the prince or the queen, even if it is a god, as long as Charlie XVI commands, they will rush over without hesitation, even if they are killed, they will not blink an eye.
Now, since His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI said that he would tie up the second prince Karazei and throw him into the cell, then he should be tied up and thrown into the cell, and it should not be discounted at all, just like tying up other prisoners, the two guards took out the best rope binding skills, and tied the second prince Karazek firmly.
Although the second prince Kaladze is a bastard, he is not a fool after all, on this occasion, no matter how he is, he does not dare to openly resist, but while being tied, he shouts loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged, this is not what I did, this is not what I did!" ”
"Hold on!" The flesh on Charlie's sixteen angry face twitched.
That's pretty good, but if it were someone else, he would have been summarily executed by now.
It was only at this time that Charles XVI came to the approach of the Grand Prince Powell and looked at him.
"Not hurt?"
"I'm fine, Father, huh...... Don't be angry, the second brother is young, and some things are still ......."
"Say no more!" Charlie XVI waved his hand: "It's okay if you're okay, I know how to deal with this matter." ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Carter, "Your Excellency Carter, I'm making you laugh." ”
"......" Carter just smiled reluctantly, not knowing how to answer.
In terms of age, the other party is an elder and he is a child.
In terms of status, the other party is the emperor, and he is just an envoy.
In terms of priority, the other party is the host and he is the guest.
In terms of intimacy, the relationship between the two countries does not seem to be very good.
In such a situation, Carter is very difficult to handle. Comfort is not inconsolation, and if you don't say it well, maybe the other party will think that you are watching a joke and cause some unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, Charlie XVI also saw Carter's embarrassment, so he didn't continue to say anything, but asked people to escort Carter back to rest, saying that he would personally set up a banquet another day to crush Carter. When Carter was gone, he called Doon again.
"You're good!"
These were the first words that Charles XVI said to Duon.
In front of the supreme power holder of the Bauhinia Empire, Du Ang also didn't know what to say, not that he was afraid, not nervous, but very simple and had no topic.
"You don't have an official position yet, do you?" Charlie XVI asked suddenly.
"Not yet, but I've been informed that in a few days the official appointment will be communicated......" Duang said truthfully.
"Hmm......" Charlie XVI pondered: "Originally, I was going to let you go to the logistics department to experience it and see how you performed, but now it seems that ...... Don't be so troublesome, Duon, I ask you, will you carry on your father's legacy, and go to the Sea of Death on the north-western frontier, and serve in the army where your father once belonged? ”
Charlie XVI, in a consultative tone. Such a tone, not to mention Du Ang, even the eldest prince Powell beside him heard it for the first time.
As the emperor of a country, how could Charles XVI ever speak to people like this? He said a word casually, it was an order, it was a law, even if he was talking in a dream, let whoever was slaughtered, the people below would not hesitate to execute it immediately.
And today, he actually spoke to Du Ang so kindly, and it was a consultative tone......
Is the sun coming out of the west?
Even Du Ang, when he heard Charles XVI's words, was a little confused.
Of course, it was not Charles XVI's attitude that surprised him, but the very words he said.
During his lifetime, Duon's father, Count McNuss, commanded the Northwest Army stationed on the border, with three legions, and the center was Camel Fort, the most important frontier town in the Sea of Death.
Where to take up a post...... Duang hadn't thought about it before, but he hadn't thought that today, this sentence would come out of Charlie XVI's mouth so generously.
Moreover, in front of so many people.
Hearing Charles XVI's question, the other nobles, including the Baron Lawrence, who had been chatting with Duon for a long time, all looked like they were red-eyed and jealous.
What an honor it is to be able to ask and talk so cordially with His Majesty the Emperor? Although they were all nobles, they rarely had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with His Majesty the Emperor.
Moreover, even if there is such an occasional opportunity, Charles XVI is also a very serious monarch, when have you ever seen him so kind?
Northwest Army!
The old site was run by Count McNus for many years.
In the past, when Count McNus was alive, no one thought about what this place was like, and they didn't dare to move their minds here, because everyone knew that this place was Count McNuss's own place, and it was deeply rooted, and whoever made up his mind would not be in vain, and he would not get any sweetness.
However, this is different now, and Count McNus is dead.
Although Du Ang is his son, he has not even been in the army for a day, a little hairy child, no one takes him seriously, and no one thinks that Du Ang can be sent to the Northwest Army immediately, and the son will inherit his father's business and continue to control there.
That place needs a mature general, not a little kid......
Yes, everyone knows that there is a good chance that it will turn into a murderous battlefield in a short time.
If the Bauhinia Empire fights with the Byron Empire, it will be a point of contention, and it will be the first place to fall into the flames of war.
However, dangerous places often mean more and more abundant oil and water......
Once it becomes the front line of the war, the grain, baggage, and military salaries of the whole country will have to be transferred there in a concentrated manner, and the benefits that the principals there can obtain are unimaginable to ordinary people.
Incomparably rich.
Recently, all aristocratic families with warriors in their families have been thinking about this in their hearts. I thought that I could use some way to let my family's warriors gain the favor of the military department and His Majesty the Emperor Charles XVI, and finally get this fat shortage, but I didn't expect that now, without warning, Charles XVI actually gave this gift package directly to the son of Count McNus, who is not even fifteen years old!
Those nobles, now looking at Du Ang's eyes, there is something wrong, one by one they are jealous to death, and their eyes are a little red.
It stands to reason that to receive such a big surprise, Du Ang should be surprised first, then rejoicing, and then grateful, with a grateful heart, solemnly promise to His Majesty the Emperor to live up to the emperor's grace, work hard, and contribute his own strength to the stability of the motherland's frontier.
However, Du Ang's next words made them all have a feeling that they had heard it wrong, and it was simply unbelievable.
Du Ang scratched his head, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face: "Your Majesty, can I not go?" (To be continued.) )
