Chapter 135: Mustard
Ever since receiving the document sent by Situ Jin from Tias to the imperial capital, Robert, who is now known as the Great Prince and is actually the real ruler of the empire, and an ordinary minister, have all been shocked by what the document mentions.
There was a rare mineral in the small border town of Tias, and a small city secretary not only concealed the matter and did not report it, but also united with the richest man in the empire, Marquis Lee Koester, to mine minerals privately?
It's amazing enough to take out any of these news, not to mention so many of them at once!
However, in any case, the discovery of purple mastery ore is not a trivial matter, and it must not be delayed, the eldest prince Robert quickly arranged for professional prospectors to prepare to go to Tias to explore the purple mastery ore specifically, and on the other hand, he hurriedly convened the minister to discuss how to judge the relevant people related to the illegal mining of purple mastery.
Some advocate a thorough investigation and the death penalty for all those involved in the case, while others advocate heavy sentences for the main perpetrators involved in the case, while others are treated with leniency.
In order to maintain Tias's stability, and with the approaching winter and the threat from the outside, Robert finally decided that he would not be responsible except for stripping the Marquis of Lee Kerst and Dulles of their titles and sentencing them to death.
Of course, the premise of this decision is that it is not yet known that a large number of weapons containing the Purple Mother have been shipped to other countries, and some of these countries have already begun to attack Tias because of these precious weapons brought out of the city of Tias.
Later, considering that Tias's position as city secretary was now vacant, Robert planned to appoint someone directly from the imperial capital to serve as Tias's city secretary.
Because the reason why this incident was found out was entirely due to Situ Jin, and in order to convince Situ Nan, many ministers in the court proposed that Situ Jin, who is now in Tias, be appointed as the city secretary of Tias.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Situ Nan bluntly said that it was not possible, and the eldest prince Robert did not insist, and directly appointed a young man named Connie Bedford as the city secretary of Tias, and soon set off with the prospectors to Tias to take office.
Speaking of this Connie Bedford, his father Connie Martin is the new favorite of the eldest prince Robert, and his position in Robert's heart has recently faintly surpassed Situ Nan.
It is said that since the act of David Robert as the heir to the state government, several major events have happened in the empire.
The first thing is that Theresia's grandfather, the current king of Orlando, Glen VII, is terminally ill and seeing that he is about to die, Glen VII hurriedly arranges for someone to come to the Yarrow Empire to ask Theresia to inherit the throne.
But there are people in Orlando who don't want Theresia to go back.
As mentioned earlier, Glenn VII had five daughters in his life, and in addition to Theresia's mother, Glenn Daisy, there were four other daughters. The second daughter died many years ago due to a congenital heart problem, and the third and fourth daughters, like Glenn Daisy, were married to other countries, except for the youngest daughter, Glenn Katrin, who married the son of a general in Orlando, Fern Wiley.
The little princess of Orlando, named Catlin, doesn't have much idea about the throne herself, but her husband Willie is not willing to let the throne fall to Theresia.
They are also the daughters of Glen VII, why can only the daughter of Glena Daisy inherit the throne of Orlando? Just imagine, if his wife Princess Catlyn sits on the throne, what is the difference between being the emperor himself, maybe the name of the Orlando royal family will be changed in the future.
Thinking of this, Willie was excited, so he secretly continued to encourage Princess Catlyn, after all, although he was Catelin's husband, if Catelyn did not agree, even if he made a move, it would be unjustifiable.
Unable to bear her husband's constant instigation, Katlin finally agreed to fight for the throne. The husband and wife acted quickly, encouraging some ministers to raise arguments against Theresia's succession to the throne at the court, and secretly rallying troops on the border to prevent Theresia from returning home.
Not only that, but the husband and wife also didn't know how to use to mobilize a small and medium-sized country bordering the Yarrow Empire, "Denia", to help them attract the attention of the Yarrow Empire.
"Denia" deployed 100,000 troops in the border area between Germany and Asia at a very fast speed to carry out military exercises, which completely angered the eldest prince Robert.
The eldest prince, Robert, advocated immediately sending 200,000 troops to the border between Germany and Asia to teach this small country a hard lesson! Unexpectedly, Situ Nan, who had always supported it, raised objections at this time.
Not only did Situ Nan strongly oppose sending troops to attack Denia, but he also said that at this time, the main focus should be on dealing with those in Orlando who opposed Theresia returning to the throne, and he suggested that troops should be sent to escort Teresia back to Orlando immediately, and help Teresia deal with those opposition forces by the way.
Hearing Situ Nan's words, Robert was furious, the reason why he wanted to send troops to attack Denia was actually to delay Theresia from returning to Orlando to inherit the throne. After all, for him now, if he makes Theresia the king of Orlando, it won't do him any good.
Although he is now no different from the Emperor of the Yarrow Empire, in addition to a name, recently, there has been a rumor in the empire that the old emperor was actually stunned by his medicine, in order to steal the throne.
This rumor can no longer be suppressed, although some people do not say it, but in their hearts they are already secretly inclined to support the second prince Ferdinand.
Although Robert was angry in his heart, he was helpless, and at this juncture, he could never make any more moves against Ferdinand, otherwise even if he sat on the throne in the future, this position would definitely not be stable.
At this time, how could Robert be willing to send Theresia abroad to inherit the throne?! If Theresia really became the king of Orlando, then Ferdinand would have a great help, which Robert never wanted to see.
originally thought that Situ Nan would support him as before, but he didn't expect Situ Nan to stand up against him, and then think of Situ Nan's son who was engaged to Theresia, Robert finally had a strong sense of mustard for Situ Nan in his heart, so he had the practice of vigorously supporting Connie Martin later.
