Chapter 157: Coup d'état
Bow and thank you for the "melody ~ flowing clouds" greatly rewarded the support again!
――――――――――――――――
The city of Affe seems to have returned to its usual calm after the assassination of Lady Mary, but the calm was temporary, and the turbulent undercurrent did not stop with Lady Mary's death.
In one of Prince Loldon's secret strongholds, everyone has been discussing for a while, and those who can appear here must be Prince Loldon's most loyal friends.
Except for the Admiral Gidton, who was worried about the powerful fleet of Duke Lindu who had been overseas, almost everyone thought that the time was ripe for **, and there was no need to wait any longer.
Seeing that he could not convince everyone, Giton had no choice but to say to Kimberland:
"I always think that now in a hurry, the possibility of success is not big, Duke Lindu clearly wants to be a praying mantis, the minister always feels that His Majesty has no queen, and his health is not good, looking at His Majesty's current appearance, at most it will last for three or five years, just wait for His Majesty to die, and a child will succeed to the throne, so what's the use? There is no suspense that His Highness will take over the throne, so why should we rush for a while? ”
Everyone is looking at Kimberland, in the prince's party, the prince has become the core on the surface as the future heir to the throne, but everyone understands that Kimberland is the prince's guts, and many of Prince Loerdon's decisions are based on his opinion.
Kimbran pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice:
"What Gidon said is not unreasonable, with his current physical condition, I am afraid that it will not last long, and the prince will be able to ascend the throne smoothly."
Gidden was overjoyed, and everyone looked embarrassed, but Kimbran changed his tone and continued:
"However, the time of three or five is not long, but it is not short, and our strength may be further strengthened during this time, but it is difficult to ensure that the other party does not take any action, so I think we should not let go of this great opportunity in front of us."
When Gitton saw that Kimbran also had this opinion, he sighed and shook his head gloomily, there were some things he didn't want to say much.
Kimbran went on to say:
"However, Gidon still has some words, although most of the nobles in various places now support the prince's succession, but Ife City is firmly controlled in his hands, and the most powerful fleet of the kingdom is still in the hands of Duke Lindu, Duke Lindu, don't worry, he can't make big waves, the key is that in Ifei City, now those nobles are resolutely not allowed to transfer troops, this is a big trouble......"
Gidon couldn't help asking:
"Capture the thief and capture the king, and solve the problem in the city of Ife?"
Kimbran nodded:
"Yes, it's best to cut through the mess quickly, so that the other nobles will have a decision before they can react."
Everyone else nodded in agreement:
"It's the best way to go. It's just that they have an overwhelming surname advantage in the city. ”
Prince Lordon said lightly:
"That's just the current situation, it's completely possible to find a way to change this status quo, you will see such a change immediately, now all you have to do is secretly prepare."
Everyone couldn't help but look at Prince Loerdon, and when they saw that he looked like he was in his chest, they all knew that he must have thought of a way.
But what is the solution, everyone is confused, and they don't know what medicine is sold in the prince and Kimberland's gourd......
……
Yuan Qi soon smelled that the atmosphere of Effie seemed to be abnormal again, and an important general of the army stationed in Effie City was dismissed, and his army would be transferred outside the city to change defenses, which was not good for such a thing to happen at such a time!
As soon as Yuan Qi heard about this, he immediately wanted to ask the Duchess, but when he walked to the Duchess's door, he seemed to understand some of the keys in his heart, and wanted to leave, but the Duchess's voice came from inside:
"Sir, since you are here, please come in, I also happen to have something to find Mr."
Yuan Qi nodded, but still walked in, the duchess sat there with a solemn expression, Yuan Qi came in, he showed a slight smile, and said:
"Sir must have something going on, but why do you want to leave?"
Yuan Qi Dao:
"Because I don't think it's necessary, because when I got to Madame's door, it suddenly occurred to me that in fact, this matter should actually be done by the king on his own initiative, right?"
A very special color flashed in the Duchess's eyes, and she asked:
"How?"
"If there are really important generals in Yifei City, I'm afraid that Ifei City will have changed the world a long time ago, and the other party is using a divisive plan, this is just a plan, the purpose is to lure the snake out of the hole, and it is estimated that it also has your role, right?"
The Duchess's eyes flashed with a twinkle, and then she asked calmly:
"Sir, how did you come up with this?"
Yuan Qi didn't answer, thought for a while and said, "Madam, even if you lure the snake out of the hole and let Prince Luo Erdong take the bait, if the other party takes advantage of this to make a big fuss, the situation may not develop as expected." ”
The Duchess nodded and said:
"Yes, of course, the risk is very great, but if you don't, let the other party press forward step by step, that is more passive, because Your Majesty's body is not good, I'm afraid it won't last long, the prince is anxious, in fact, Your Majesty is more anxious than the prince. He must remove the greatest obstacle for his heir. ”
Yuan Qi was silent when he heard it, in his opinion, in fact, such a thing directly disappeared Prince Luo Erdong ** It is the best way, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, emperors have always done this to people who threaten their dominance, but the king has never done it, and there is definitely a reason not to do it.
Yuan Qi nodded, he really understood, the king was actually arranging the aftermath by doing this! I hope to fight hard before I die.
The Duchess looked at Yuan Qi with a solemn expression and said:
"Sir, in this adventurous plan, you still need to have a lot of support from Sir! Prince Luo Erdong must also rely on this, especially those Dongying warriors who openly entered Yifei and secretly infiltrated Yifei, they must be used by him as a surprise soldier, and those Dongying people must be managed by Mr. and the guards of the palace to resist. ”
Yuan Qi couldn't help but look at the Duchess with some doubts, he was willing to participate in it, it was considered a balance between public and private, Yu Gong, he naturally didn't want Huaxing to be poisoned, Yu Private, Xi Fei was on stage with Huaxing's good friends, which would be very beneficial to his future business.
But the Duchess has some doubts in her heart, she is shirtless, and she has put the Duke's Mansion on the side of the king, and if she comes to power, Heffy will fall into a situation from which she will never recover.
Why did she take such a risk? Did the duke mean it or did she mean it herself? Or is she just thinking about the common people of Heffy, then even if she is a high-spirited and a Joan of Arc woman, once she fails, it is estimated that she will have to flee overseas.
The Duchess seemed to see his confusion and said:
"Naturally, I am also for the sake of my family, for the hundreds of people in the Duke's Palace not to become hostages and not to be slaughtered. Don't look at the duke has a strong fleet, but if the prince and others want to do it, they must have already thought of a way to deal with him, and when everything is settled, he can't save the duke's palace and my family......"
The Duchess found a suitable reason, there were some things that could not be said to anyone about the Duke, including Madame Ginny, and Yuan Qi in front of her.
These words made Yuan Qi can't help but look at the Duchess in his heart, the woman in front of him is in the ambiguous light, exuding amazing charm, Yuan Qi has to admire Duke Lindu, willing to leave such a goddess-level wife in Yifei, but he is bumpy overseas all year round, to conquer the waves, really * his * mother is a violent thing!
After listening to this, Yuan Qi said:
"Okay, let's talk about what to do."
Yuan Qi thought about it for a while and decided to take a gamble, in case the matter failed, he would come up with a thirty-six plan to go as the best plan, then I'm afraid no one would be able to stop him!
――――――――――――――――
The moon has sunk into the horizon, the sky and the earth are vast, the darkness is like a huge monster shrouded in the sky over the city of Ife, when a team of horses like a storm sounded the sound of horses' hooves, the original quiet night was suddenly broken, the palace of Hephi suddenly sounded the earth-shaking shouts of killing, woke up the sleeping people, and then the whole city seemed to be like a mess of porridge, one by one frightened to listen to the movement outside, the timid were so frightened that they didn't dare to tremble in bed, and the bold ones hurriedly closed the door.
Matsushita Hori touched the beard on his lips habitually, and subconsciously shrunk his neck, the early spring night was still very cool.
Listening to the sound of fighting coming from the direction of the palace, he looked ahead and couldn't see anything, but he knew that the palace was not far ahead! It won't be long before his men will drive straight into and capture the palace of King Hephie, which means that Hephie will become the most staunch ally of the Empire, which is the most crucial step for the Empire to be able to set foot on the land of Huaxing again, and he is the person in charge of this operation!
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but boil his blood, and it took a while to calm down, and he looked behind him, he still couldn't see anything, because all the people were dressed in black, but he could feel that hundreds of masters had gathered behind him. These are all experienced good hands, with the backing of these hundreds of good hands, and those cannon fodder of the prince to open the way, it should be effortless to enter the palace.
"My lord, it's almost over, we should go too, right?"
"Up!"
Matsushita Hori waved his hand, and the group quietly set off from a hidden place and moved forward quietly, but they didn't go far, and they just came to a relatively open place, and there were people in the darkness as if they were coming out of the ground.
Before Matsushita Horitake and the others could react, the top ten people became the ghosts of the people's swords, and then the rumbling thunder sounded among his people......
Matsushita Horizo was shocked and angry, and before his men could react, almost a quarter of their manpower had been lost! (To be continued.) )
