Chapter 104: The Conspiracy of the Prince
Chapter 104 The Conspiracy of the Prince
(The wood roared, begged for tickets, comforted and comforted my fragile heart, and the fingers that had been numb, it seems that Wubi is a little faster now, but the difficulty of plot design has risen sharply, hehe...... )
There was an indescribable look in the eyes of the void, and there was a faint trace of awe, which had been hidden by the old emperor's side for decades, and he only discovered today that the thirteenth prince, known as the "first prince of Yanjing", His Royal Highness Jace Carson, was so deep in the city, it was simply hidden.
"Burning Bloodshed", it is recorded in the history books of later generations that one of the palace coups d'état, His Royal Highness Carson made strange moves, from being at a complete disadvantage to leveling with the princes a little bit!
Wooing the Magicians' Guild to fight against the Temple of Light, ambushing the Praetorian Guards to attack the palace, and sowing discord between the Temple of Light and the necromancers, splitting the camp of the Grand Prince, greatly weakening its strength, and encircling the Ossimos family, the largest aristocratic family in the empire.
Secretly tampering with the edict of succession! Especially with the use of the new marquis, the young Marquis Piaoxiang is even more a stroke of genius!
The thirteen princes did not dare to blatantly write their names on the edict of succession, in case His Majesty the old emperor had a whim, and then turned out the edict of succession to take a look, wouldn't it be digging his own grave and inviting the king into the urn!
The clever thing is to dig out the name on the edict of succession, so that the edict of succession becomes a dead letter! As long as the edict is read out by one's own person, there will be no proof of death at that time, and it is a big deal to fill in the name of "Jace Carson" in the blank space.
However, just in case, His Majesty the old emperor actually found a new earl who had nothing to do with all the forces in Yanjing to read out the edict, and even more so with great kindness, he was promoted to the title of marquis!
However, His Royal Highness Carson seemed to have foreseen the old emperor's arrangement, and preemptively mingled with the young earl, and sure enough, at the Burning Ceremony, the young upstart announced the thirteenth prince as the new emperor!
Now as long as you hold the palace and wait for the arrival of the army outside, the princes and the nobles who participated in the rebellion have only two ways to go, one is to wait for death, and the other is to escape!
Of course, the premise is to hold the palace and wait for reinforcements to arrive, otherwise everything will still be a cake.
"Lord Void Stylist, have you found Marquis Lear, how long can the Dark Guard and the Imperial Guards hold out?" The cynical grin on His Royal Highness Jace Carson's face was gone, and all that was left was grimness and calmness, and he quietly looked at the old man in front of him, the biggest spy leader beside His Majesty the Old Emperor.
The void was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses from his reverie and said: "Your Highness, I have dispatched the Dark Guards to clean the palace, and all forces that are not loyal to you have been eliminated!
His Royal Highness Jace Carson's brows furrowed, what he was most worried about now was the edict of succession, as long as he took the edict in his hand and filled in his name, it would be a certainty and indisputable!
Void Ming continued: "Your teacher, Master Kamodo, is coming from the palace square, but His Royal Highness the Great Prince is powerful, and he has already assembled an army of 60,000 in Yanjing! The Imperial Forest Army in the palace is only 5,000, and the Dark Guards are only 3,000, and the difference in strength is too great......"
The Thirteenth Prince smiled coldly, the Praetorian Guard had always been led by the Great Prince, but he still secretly co-opted two battalions, accounting for one-fifth of his strength, and the Imperial Forest Army had been bloodily purged, and all of them were replaced by men loyal to him.
As long as there is a strange soldier on the outside, it can be combined with the outside......
Suddenly, a flower appeared in front of him, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was the Duke of Piaoxiang who he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and was thinking about it for a long time.
"Brother Lear, I've finally waited for you. I thought you had met with something wrong in the chaos!" Jace Carson was overjoyed, grabbing Lear's wide black robe sleeve and exclaiming, "Where have you been all day......"
Lear laughed and said, "Congratulations to Your Highness on ascending to the throne of the Byron Empire, you are not only waiting for me, but also waiting for the edict of succession!"
The two laughed tacitly, both of them are good at pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, and they are even more sympathetic to each other at this time. Lear whistled, and the fat crow "Wood", who had been hiding for a long time, flew in. What he grasped in his claws was the gorgeous edict of succession inlaid with gold and silver.
What's even more bizarre is that on its other jet-black claw, it wears five shiny rings! Storage Ring! This dumb bird took advantage of the fire to rob the necromancer's severed hand, and actually took possession of his storage ring.
Lear smiled and took the edict of succession and handed it to the Thirteen Princes, but the other hand was silently wiped, and the five shiny rings were all in his hands, no matter how thick the claws of the dumb bird "wood" were, he couldn't put on a human ring, and he was dangling on the paws empty, and Lear didn't have to make any effort at all.
"Ga ......" the Dumbbird shouted angrily, Lear looked down at the "Demon Refining Leaf" on his waist, and the Dumb Bird immediately closed his mouth very interestingly.
The power of the six-colored "Demon Refining Leaf" was much larger than the original wine bottle, and Lear really wanted to take it in, but the stupid bird couldn't resist.
The Thirteenth Prince pretended not to see it, and said with a slight smile: "Your Excellency Lear, I have issued an edict in your absence, and I will make you the Duke of Piaoxiang! The fief is the province of Cologne bordered by the Piaoxiang River, the land is thousands of miles around, and there is a long border with the Leo Empire! Hehe, I know a lot about you, especially the bloody case in Moss Village......
Jace Carson showed a resolute and sincere expression and said: "Your Excellency Duke Piaoxiang, I, the thirteenth prince of the Byron Empire, St. Yarra Jess Carson, am willing to swear to you, as long as you survive this difficulty, I will succeed to the throne as emperor, and I will never lose your life and death, with the existence of the Byron Empire, the Piao Xiang family will be prosperous forever! You and I will be brothers in life and death! That is, if you start a war with the Auron Empire in the future, my Byron Empire will fully support you!"
Lear was very excited, the so-called Duke Piaoxiang, the fiefdom of thousands of miles, the Piaoxiang family, are all lies, he himself is now single, where did he come from, but the last words of the thirteen princes deeply moved him, with his own strength, wanting to shake such a behemoth as the Ole Empire is tantamount to shaking a tree.
But with Byron as a backing, everything will be different.
"Okay, let's be brothers in life and death!" Lear held the hand of the Thirteenth Prince tightly and said, "Your Highness, what do you need me to do now......?"
The two discussed secretly, looking at each other and smiling like two little foxes.
