"These people you mentioned seem to be His Majesty's closest people!"

After Hoynen gave a detailed account of the process by which Wittels summoned Willford and Leader three days earlier, Duke Phelps spoke.

"It seems that the second prince is missing. ”

Beate added.

"Your Majesty summoned them just to play chess?"

Duke Phelps glanced at Byatt, then asked with a gloomy face.

"His Majesty also discussed military arrangements to the south with Dean Willford Leader and Minister Williams. ”

"Didn't talk about anything else?"

"As far as I know, no. ”

Huo Yining recalled earnestly that although he had not been with him that day, the news from the other guards showed that the emperor had not discussed other topics with his cronies.

"Beate, I think you are too worried, judging from the current situation, Your Majesty is only dealing with you on a case-by-case basis, and does not mean to target us. ”

After some thought, the Prime Minister came to his own conclusion.

"My lord, Your Majesty has summoned his cronies, why is only the eldest prince present? Where is the second prince?"

Beate clearly still has doubts.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. ”

"My lord, I think we should fight back. ”

Do you know who our opponent is and what is the price to pay if we make a mistake in judgment?"

Duke Phelps's face sank, and his tone was much more serious.

Beate seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and still didn't say it, and finally could only sigh helplessly, but the truth was developing in the direction he expected to be bad. Three days after Byatt's dismissal, at another court meeting, the old Duke Reinhardt, who rarely appeared, suddenly appeared, that is, the father of Aubere Reinhardt, who was currently on business in the ancient city of O. Previously, it was rumored that the old duke's health was not very good, and he had been recuperating at home, so he rarely participated in government affairs, but now it seems that the rumors are not true, the old duke is not only in a very good mental state, but also very tough, and it doesn't look like he has been sick for a long time at all. Despite this, Julius the Great instructed the guards to bring him a stool and let him sit in the meeting.

At the last minute of the meeting, just when everyone thought it would end as usual, an amazing scene happened. At that time, the Emperor Yuss was going through the last step of the court meeting as usual, and he asked the ministers if they had anything to discuss, and then the Duke of Reinhardt stood up and suggested that the emperor make a prince.

As soon as these words came out, the government and the opposition were shocked. Just when some officials headed by the prime minister had not yet reacted, a group of officials led by the minister of war, the president of the Knight Academy, and the minister of justice had already seconded the motion.

The people of the prime minister's faction who reacted began to obstruct it, but they were obviously alone, and the voices of the faction who suggested that the Li Chu faction had an overwhelming advantage in the court meeting. Faced with this situation, Yus the Great could only conform to the will of the people and decided to establish a prince.

The next thing is to discuss the candidate for the prince, and suggest that the prince faction collectively recommend the eldest prince, which is a very taboo thing, but Emperor Yusi not only did not object, but did not even have a happy expression. Of course, there are many people who support the second prince, but the prime minister, who is the most vocal among the ministers, is inconvenient to say much because of the special relationship with the second prince, and finally after a debate with a tongue and a sword, the faction that is fully prepared to support the eldest prince once again proves with sufficient arguments that the older and more serious prince is the most suitable person to become the prince.

The court meeting was held from morning to afternoon, and the monarchs and ministers were not even in the mood to eat, and finally the Emperor Yus, who was full of advice, announced the great prince as the candidate for the prince in front of the ministers.

After the dispersal, Prime Minister Phelps returned to the mansion in despair, closed the door of the study, and instructed his subordinates to refuse all visits, he wanted to be quiet. It was not until evening that he left the mansion and returned to the manor in the suburbs, and immediately instructed the servants:

"Go and get the guest from the south, I have something important to discuss with him. ”

A week after the announcement of the crown prince, the good news came, the attitude of the Holy See began to soften, the two cardinals Garcia and Raphael said on different occasions that Emperor Yuss might be used by some conspirators in the assassination of the Holy Emperor Hepburn, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Yuss side immediately expressed its willingness to explain the assassination to the Holy See and could cooperate with the Holy See in conducting an in-depth investigation. The conversation reached the ancient city of Oko-Ko-Pony, and Holland, who was sipping rum, was so frightened that he almost broke his glass.

Tensions on the border between Yuss and Higg began to ease, with the Allied forces from the southern countries retreating first, followed by the Knights Templar for more than two hundred miles, and although the confrontation still existed, it was not as tense as before. Seeing this result, the high-level of Youss breathed a sigh of relief, Yuss the Great rarely took the initiative to summon the historian Freeman, and after some praise, he also left him for lunch in the palace, and even had the prince to accompany him during the banquet, and the next step was to add officials to the knighthood, and Yuss the Great also specifically asked the prince to ask Freeman once a week for historical knowledge. Freeman suddenly became a celebrity in front of the emperor, and even the teacher of half of the crown prince, and his identity will be doubly respected in the future when the crown prince succeeds to the throne. However, compared with Freeman's rising and beautiful scenery, the life of others is much bleaker.

As soon as the situation on the border improved, there was a wave of violent earthquakes in the officialdom of Yus. Duke Phelps, who had served as prime minister for almost twenty years, suddenly submitted his resignation to Julius the Great. The reason is that he is old and lacks energy, and he is unable to continue to be qualified for the official position of prime minister. In fact, Phelps was about the same age as Emperor Vettels, and if he was old, then Julius the Great had also reached the age of abdication.

Julius the Great was about to reject, and persuaded him with good words, but Duke Phelps was unmoved, and the next day he submitted his resignation, but it was rejected again, and when he asked for the third time on the third day to resign as prime minister, Julius the Great had no choice but to accept the result. However, the candidate for the new prime minister, Julius the Great, was not in a hurry to appoint.

Just when the ministers were speculating about who the Emperor would let fill the vacancy left by Phelps's resignation, he made a decree announcing the auxiliary government of the crown prince, so that some officials with a keen sense of smell understood that they were afraid that no one would succeed him as prime minister, because the prince of the auxiliary government would assume the function of prime minister.

With the establishment of the status of the crown prince and the resignation of Prime Minister Phelps, a series of officials were affected. Among them, the most affected is the prime minister's faction, and many high-ranking officials have gone into the opposition.
