When Su Ya said this, her expression was a little solemn: "Grandfather made a mistake at this time, that is, he was too confident!"

The girl took a deep breath and glanced at Joseph with a complicated expression: "With my grandfather's position and power at that time, he can be described as a very human minister, to put it mildly, if he is determined to support which prince, I am afraid that the overall situation will be decided." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info But in this seemingly absolute advantage, there is a huge problem, that is, the attitude of the old emperor!

In the early days, my grandfather accompanied Montevia the Great to the west of Macedonia, Pinglingbei, and Anisby, and it can be said that the peaceful foundation of the empire in these decades was laid by Montevideo the Great. After the death of Emperor Mondevideo, the successor Emperor II also had great trust in the family, but His Majesty II died young, and Emperor Montevia III was originally the cousin of Emperor II, but because His Majesty II had no children, he inherited the throne.

However, Mondevideo III did not trust his family very much, and it can be said that he was an emperor who was extremely obsessed with power. As soon as he took office, he took back his grandfather's military power, but he was left in the military department and held a vacant position, until the outbreak of the war in the northwest, and he had to appoint his grandfather again.

After the war was calmed down, because of the military exploits of pacifying the western frontier and expelling foreign races, my grandfather's popularity in the empire was almost at its peak, and His Majesty the Emperor had to entrust him with important positions.

Although my grandfather had made great achievements in his life, his political sense of smell was much worse. He thought that his family had been trusted by the royal family for generations, and he had made great military achievements for the empire, and even if His Majesty the Emperor was dissatisfied with his support for the prince's struggle for the throne, he should not be too harsh.

But in fact, Emperor Montevideo III had long been dissatisfied with his family, and even said that he had long been deeply jealous of the Ellos family and his grandfather at that time! It is conceivable that this battle for the throne was just a fuse, but his grandfather still did not notice it.

In his opinion, the great prince Wen Taowu can be of great use, although His Majesty is a little smart, but his mind is far inferior to the eldest prince. Since this is the case, there is naturally no reason to make concessions, so not only did he not retreat afterwards, but he supported the eldest prince even more.

It wasn't until three months before the death of Mondevideo III that a major event occurred in the palace that shook the empire...... At the New Year's celebration that year, there was a palace coup!"

"Palace coup?!" Jose was shocked, but a little surprised, Su Ya's expression became more solemn at this time, and after a moment of silence, he said:

According to the tradition of the Empire, every year on New Year's Day, the Imperial Palace invites high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Imperial Palace to enter the Imperial Palace for celebrations. However, when the celebration was held that year, the scale was a little less than usual, and the people present were all important ministers and nobles, and some ordinary wealthy businessmen were not even invited.

Although it was a little strange, what everyone didn't expect was that not long after the celebration was held, the entire palace and even the imperial capital were strictly banned! An elite unit of the Central Army was secretly mobilized, and some people even saw a strange cavalry outside the palace, and it seemed that the number seemed to be the mysterious palace royal army!

No one knew what was going on in the palace that day, because it was the Night Imperial Forest that took over the defense of the inner city, a force that had always been in the hands of successive emperors. After the palace was sealed, it was only claimed that it was an order from His Majesty the Emperor, because the Central Army and the Public Security Office had seen the documents signed by His Majesty the Emperor, and their commanders were invited to participate in the celebration, so they could not enter the palace.

In the early morning of the next day, martial law in the Imperial Palace was lifted, and His Majesty the Emperor issued an edict informing His Highness that Keriska had launched a coup d'état! From Keriska downward, there were more than a dozen other imperial generals and ministers who participated in the coup. But the rebellion was put down by the second prince last night, Keriska was defeated and died, and the rest of the henchmen and more than 2,000 people of the rebel army have been ambushed!!"

When Su Ya said this, she couldn't help but glance at Qiao Se with a solemn expression: "As soon as this edict came out, there was an uproar in the imperial capital and even the entire empire, more than a dozen generals and nobles in His Majesty's edict of the Emperor, their power was uprooted almost overnight, and His Majesty the Emperor's actions were so fast that many people felt that something was wrong!"

My grandfather was naturally among the important ministers who attended the celebration that night, but as the number one force supporting the eldest prince, the Ellios family was surprisingly not affected. When my grandfather returned from the palace, he seemed to be a different person, and he did not say a word about what happened in the palace that night, and voluntarily resigned from all military positions, retaining only the identity of Duke Ellios.

I remember asking my grandfather what had happened in the palace that day, but I was so young that my grandfather just sighed and didn't say a word. But I know that no matter what the truth of this matter is, I'm afraid only the participants will know the inside story.

My grandfather's voluntary resignation from all military posts was tantamount to giving up all preparations for political struggle, and even if he still had some prestige, it was not enough to have any impact on the royal family.

Soon after, Montevideo III and his grandfather died of illness, and the second prince succeeded to the throne, and the Norman family was able to rise. The family thought that this series of blows was not trusted by the new emperor and was declining, and from then on, the family and the Norman family also officially broke ......"

After hearing this, Jose couldn't help but shake his head: "I didn't expect that the two of you had such a story, and now I finally know the reason." However, no matter which emperor it is, I am afraid that he will not have a good impression in the face of a big family that once supported the rival for the throne, and I can imagine that your family has not had a good time over the years......

Su Ya looked calm, and said lightly: "No matter what, I believe that my grandfather will definitely not do such a rebellious thing as a coup d'état and rebellion! Hmph! When Montevideo III had just succeeded to the throne, the war broke out in the northwest, and Isby outside Lingbei also took the opportunity to send troops, and my grandfather led an expedition of 200,000 troops to Macedonia.

Later, he not only pacified the war in the northwest, but also annihilated the main force of Macedonia with more than 380,000 people on the steppe Gobi! When such a war feat came, my grandfather's prestige was monstrous! And among these 200,000 troops, almost all of them were my grandfather's students and subordinates, if my grandfather really had any disobedience at that time, he only needed to lead his troops back to the imperial capital, and he had almost become a no-man's land all the way, so why did he have to work hard to support the situation in the empire?!"

When Su Ya said this, seeing that Qiao Se didn't say a word, she shook her head and said:

"I'm far away, what I told you today is the secret of the empire in the past, you are out of this mansion, but don't talk to others, you must know that the struggle in this imperial capital is not just as simple as it seems...... Speaking of which, if Norman were to woo you, what would you do?"

Jose smiled, with a little cunning in his eyes: "I have already accepted the gift from Lord Norman, naturally I will not return it, if he wants to win me over, then I will serve him......"
