Chapter 184: Non-violent usurpation of the throne, it's really Indian! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
Your Majesty, don't yawn, Prince William is here!"
When Prince William led a large group of people into the audience hall of the Red Keep, the Mughal Emperor Akbar II began to yawn again...... This time it's not sleepy, it's a movie addiction.
Akbar II, the Indian emperor, has loved movies since he was a child! Well, it's okay to do without medicine anyway. By the time the Mughal dynasty came into the hands of his grandfather, Alamgir II, it had no real power...... It is no longer that the decree does not leave Delhi, but that Delhi has been detained by Prime Minister Firoz from Hyderabad. Jang III controlled. His father, frustrated by the dynasty's power, fled to Afghanistan to borrow troops, and then became a puppet of the Afghan emperor Durrani as he wished. And just when the Afghans, Marathas, and other miscellaneous Indian princely states were in a mess, the British East India Company came in, overthrew everyone, and turned the Mughal emperor into a "palace mascot" with an annuity.
By the time Akbar II succeeded to the throne, the Indian emperor had become a position in the harem with a "salary". If you want to do something ambitious, you don't have that condition, so Akbar II simply lies flat, except for the harem every day...... But just like that, he actually lived to be 77 years old in history!
And his son, who was even worse, was finally reduced to the last emperor of India, who was reduced to a "five-square-meter rental house", and Sha II lived to be 87 years old......
I have to say that the "longevity gene" of the Mughal Dynasty is still very strong!
Although the pill did not significantly shorten the life of Akbar II, this thing is addictive after all, knocking once for a while, and after a while, the effect of the medicine has passed, it is really uncomfortable all over the body!
Today, it is said that someone is going to come to "return the great government", and Akbar II can't figure out what it means. But he still had his fill in the morning, and then asked the servant to disguise himself as a mascot dressed in gold and silver, and waited in the audience hall.
But wait, wait, wait, wait for Akbar II's addiction to the pills, and no one came, and just as he was about to ask the servants to prepare the pills for him, he saw the door of the audience hall opened by two Mughal warriors dressed in costumes, and then a "Brahmin immortal" entered the hall surrounded by a group of princes and nobles wearing large turbans and gorgeous robes. There seemed to be someone on the side carrying a camera and holding a camera to shoot all the way.
What's going on? Is this the legendary filmmaking? Now there are people in India who also play movies?
Akbar II was already in the middle of the lake, and there was already a loud shout: "Prince William of India leads Sir Amsterd, Governor of the East India Company, and representatives of the princely assemblies of the states to meet Akbar II, Emperor of Hindustan."
"Prince William of India?" Akbar II said in his heart, "Which princely state is this? Why is it so strangely named?"
While he was thinking about it, he saw that the "Brahmin Immortal" had already arrived with a large group of people, and an acquaintance had also appeared, it was Sir Amsterd, the governor of the British East India Company. He was wearing a green military uniform, which was "hidden" in a group of colorful "big turbans" before, and Akbar II didn't notice it, but now he suddenly appeared, which made Akbar II a little nervous...... For a while, I even forgot about my addiction.
Sir Amsterdam had a scroll in his hand, tied with a red ribbon, and I don't know what it meant.
While he was in a daze, Amster had already spoken, speaking in English, but Akbar II could still understand it.
"Your Majesty, in view of the relevant resolutions passed by the Princely Councils of the Indian states, the East India Company Committee, after thorough study and discussion, has decided to return all the sovereignty and general affairs of the Indian Empire to the rightful Emperor of the Hindustan Empire!"
As he spoke, he handed the scroll to Akbar II's prime minister, Assaf. Khan said, "It's a list...... The privileges that the East India Company obtained from the Emperor of Hindustan are listed above. Now, on behalf of the East India Company, I return all these powers to His Majesty the Emperor! From now on, India will no longer be a country under the protection of the British Empire, she will be an independent and sovereign state!"
What? Is India an independent sovereign state?
Akbar II couldn't believe his ears, and quickly asked, "Governor, will the East India Company be withdrawn from India?"
"No," Amsterdam said, "the East India Company will be dissolved...... There will be no East India Company anymore!"
"What? No more East India Company?" Akbar II suspected that he was dreaming, "So, what about the East India Company's mercenaries and territories? Give it back to me, too."
Amsterd said, "What the East India Company did not acquire from you and your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, it is naturally impossible to return them to you!" He turned around and pointed to Prince William, who looked like a Brahmin immortal, "According to the will of the King of England and the decision of the Council of States, everything owned by the East India Company, including assets, debts, and mercenaries, will be transferred to Prince William!" Now the prince has become an Indian citizen and has been elected Vice-Emperor of India by the state councils...... I hope you will make a decree to appoint him as your Vice-Emperor!"
"Vice-Emperor?" Akbar II was a little disappointed, didn't this turn the East India Company's army and territory into the army and territory of the Vice-Emperor?
Seeing that he seemed reluctant, the prime minister on the side, Assaf. Khan hurriedly stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, news came from Peshawar a few days ago that Emperor Daoguang and King Shaht of Afghanistan are gathering a large army there and preparing to invade Punjab...... The Sikhs there can't resist at all, and the only thing that can stop them is Prince William's army, so please appoint the prince as the vice-emperor of India at once. Otherwise, that barbarian Daoguang will come to Delhi!"
As soon as he heard that the light was coming, Akbar II was trembling, and quickly nodded, "Okay...... I will immediately appoint Prince William as the Vice-Emperor of India!"
Immediately means immediate!
Assaf. Khan had already prepared the edict, and immediately beckoned his servants to take the edict and a golden pen made in the Ming Dynasty, and handed it to the emperor of Hindustan for him to sign in full view of everyone...... And photos and videos to prove it!
Akbar II had just signed the edict, Assaf. Khan snatched the edict, then bent down to Prince William and said loudly, "Your Royal Highness, the Emperor of India has signed the edict and officially appointed you as the Vice Emperor of our Indian Empire!"
Prince William took the edict and raised it high with one hand, and immediately there was a mountain of people shouting long live!
"Long live the Vice-Emperor!"
"Long live the Emperor!"
"Prince William is emperor!
"Long live Kaiser Wilhelm!"
This slogan became really fast, just now it was long live the vice emperor, and in the blink of an eye, it was already over to long live the emperor.
At the same time, several fierce-looking princes of the princely states had already rushed to Akbar II and shouted loudly, "Emperor, please issue an edict to cede the throne to His Majesty the Vice-Emperor!"
Then the princes in the audience hall shouted one after another.
"Please give way to the Emperor!"
"Please give up the throne to His Vice-Emperor for the sake of the prosperity and rise of the Indian Empire!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor, give way!"
Akbar II is dumbfounded now, you guys are too fast, aren't you? How about you have a transition? What is added to nine tin, what is the resignation and three concessions...... Even if you want to go through the drama of the yellow robe, you have to lead the troops to the battle first!
Where are you so fast?
Akbar was not happy at the moment, just shook his head and said nothing. Those fierce princes were all Hindu princes, and when they saw the emperor of the Heavenly Sect, they hated it, and immediately raised their fists to beat Akbar, but before they could beat down, Vice Emperor William had already spoken: "Don't do it! Don't do anything today...... We are all civilized people, and we must use civilized means!"
Usurpation and the means of civilization?
At this time, the princes were stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at Vice Emperor William.
I saw this "immortal" vice-emperor smiling, and then, under the gaze of everyone, sat down and sat down in front of the throne of Akbar II, and said to Akbar II with a smile: "Your Majesty, there will be no violence today, and no one will die, it will be a non-violent, customary change of dynasty in accordance with the customary law of India. I will sit in meditation and wait for your consent to transfer the throne to me!"
How is this possible?
Akbar II didn't even know what to say? The throne can also be sat out by "meditation...... Thinking of this, he didn't want to play with Vice Emperor William anymore, his addiction to movies had already come up.
So Akbar II wanted to get up and look for the girl, but he was pressed on the throne by the vicious princes.
The Emperor trembled and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"No," replied one of the princes, "just sit down!"
The other also said, "The Vice Emperor is also sitting, and you must also sit...... You can't go anywhere until you agree to abdicate or the Vice-Emperor gets up, and you don't want to get a piece!"
