Chapter 482: Death of Shame
His Majesty the current Emperor of the "great" Roland Empire, Augustine VI...... Crashed?!
When this news came out of the mouth of Prince Chen, the face of the regent was unusually heavy, and his face, which was originally bloodless, was even more white and almost transparent.
Du Wei immediately realized the seriousness of the problem!
He even subconsciously glanced back at his carriage: in fact, after receiving an urgent letter from Prince Chen, Du Wei immediately carried a batch of extremely precious magic potions and rushed to dìdū. He thought that perhaps relying on his attainments in magic potions, he might be able to let the old emperor live for a while longer.
But......
But that old fellow, he actually died?
The old emperor who has owned the entire continent for decades, the emperor who launched the First Northwest War, and who has launched N times in the South China Sea to spend a lot of military money, and who made huge triumphal ceremonies several times in order to show his martial arts, actually died?
Perhaps emotionally speaking, Du Wei did not have any affection for this Emperor Augustine VI. And, to be fair, this old guy who left a mess for the empire is really not a wise monarch.
In addition to his great achievements, he is also a power maniac who is extremely possessive of power.
He reigned for decades, in addition to spending countless military expenses. The empire fell into a financial crisis and replaced several chancellors. Launched several senseless foreign wars...... He accomplished almost nothing!
During his reign. The taxes of the commoners of the empire increased several times. The richest parts of the South are a little overwhelmed. This. From the time of his reign. You can see that the slave industry in the Imperial Land is extremely prosperous!
Even as a father, he was a failure! The eldest son turned against him. And the younger son was also centrifuged by him.
Such an emperor. Probably for a lot of people. It's true: it's better to die early!
But. For Dewey. For Prince Regent Chen. He can't die!
At least. I can't die yet!
Since the coup d'état more than three years ago. After Augustine VI was seized power by Prince Chen. The old man, though nominally, became a sign, as if he had been trying to deal with his eldest son. And take out the youngest son to be the shield of the imperial power.
The land of empire truly reigns. He was already the prince of Chen. All rights of all lands. They have already been caught by Prince Chen.
But. Even if it's a puppet. Augustine VI continued to live in this world. But it still has a huge significance to Prince Chen!
The day of the coup d'état. The Temple of Light suddenly turned its gun. fell to the side of Prince Chen. Support it in this way. Prince Yichen was baptized by the Pope. And henceforth to honor the Pope as the "Godfather"! This is a great victory in the struggle between imperial power and theocracy! Just think about it. An imperial emperor grovels to call the Pope the Father......
But. Afterwards, Prince Chen had quietly confided in Du Wei: he swore that all living beings would not be honored as emperors!
So. In this case. The Church did not know that the regent had such calculations.
According to normal thinking, Prince Chen is already sitting on the throne. Now he is the "Regent". Just because the old emperor is not dead, as long as the old emperor is dead. Then the crown will naturally be worn on his head!
Even some of the people who are secretly in their hearts can't help but think: maybe one day this young earth regent will not be able to wait. Let's find some means to let the old emperor "end" it early. And then it will be logical to be crowned.
But. Only Du Wei and a very small number of people knew the true mind and plan of Prince Chen!
The old emperor. It has been a high-sounding excuse to deal with the pressure on the part of the church!
Prince Chen's original wishful thinking was very good: after dragging on for more than ten years. His own son has grown up. And the power in his own hands is also secured. After the imperial power was secured. Military. Chief. All of them have a firm grip. You don't have to worry about the church!
Now that excuse is gone...... Then the next most urgent question is: below. What about the throne?!
Du Wei and Prince Chen both had a deep face. Then Du Wei followed Prince Chen all the way into the palace. Walk through several squares. A few corridors, and finally a turn. Came to an empty palace.
Du Wei knew. This is the place where Augustine VI "retired".
Prince Chen is not bad to his ruthless and unrighteous father. After the old emperor was set aside, he has been living under house arrest. Dwell in this great hall. The guards outside are all the henchmen of Prince Chen. Even the servants and attendants were all chosen by the prince of Chen.
This old man who has been happy all his life. When the old man was in the old place. But I had to live in such a big house aggrievedly. He was allowed to move his entire range only in the palace and the surrounding squares.
Stand outside this palace. It was as if Du Wei had smelled the silence of death in this palace. Du Wei's mind was very complicated at the moment.
Suddenly. Prince Tatsu turned around. His face was odd. As if with a faint mocking smile: "Almost every month." I would ask the physicians in the court to give him a detailed physical examination. And the best physician in all the courts. They all promised me that my father was in good health. If everything works properly. He will live for at least another fifteen years or so. ”
Du Wei opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say. Could it be that it is said that love and mourning are passing? But Prince Chen did not seem to have much sadness at all. It was filled with a pent-up anger.
"Now. The corpses of the physicians are buried at your feet. Chen Huangzidi's voice became cold.
Du Wei was stunned. Subconsciously looked at the ...... at his feet The floor slabs look flat. There was no trace of the corpse buried underneath.
"Isn't it? Did the doctors misdiagnose it?" Du Wei couldn't help but whisper. He glanced again at the dimly lit hall in front of him.
"Nope. The doctors were right about the diagnosis. Prince Chen said lightly: "According to normal words." Indeed, my father would not have died so young. ”
Du Wei noted. When Prince Chen said this. The tone is quirky. The eyes are more eccentric......
In fact. As a generation of emperors who have held the power of the empire for decades. Augustin VI this old man. It's disgraceful to die...... It can even be said that he died in disgrace.
Since losing his authority and being placed under house arrest. Can. A land king who once owned a vast empire. The heart must be abnormal.
And this depression is tangled together. On this old man's body. But in the end, it turned into a kind of helplessness: his son was younger than him. jīng is more powerful. The mind is smarter. The means are also more clever!
No matter how mediocre Augustine VI was. He also understands at least one thing: he has no chance to turn the tide!
So. Despite the depression. He still lived honestly in this palace. Live the life of a puppet emperor in fine clothes and food.
Understandably yes. Being such an old man. Since it is impossible to regain power. Then he must need to find a channel to vent his frustration.
And as an emperor. A once powerful emperor. After losing power. He could only release all his jīng power on the woman's body.
Oh no, no, no. Augustine VI certainly did not die on the belly of a woman. In fact, even if he wanted to die. Nor did I have that chance!
Emperor Chen was very concerned about his father's health! The old emperor ate and drank the best. And the women's side. Emperor Chen also asked the chief of the court attendants in charge of the old emperor's residence to supervise carefully. Try not to let the old emperor have the opportunity to "indulge too much in women".
This is also more understandable: after all, he used to be the emperor! If you take the power, you will take it! But now Lao Tzu wants to play with a woman. You've ordered me to control the number and quantity. Don't let me have fun!? It's so unreasonable!!
I don't have any power. It can be said that there is no big deal except death! Even if it is all about death. So what?
So. The old emperor was even more depressed.
Outcome. The old emperor was depressed. Since the "number of times" is limited. He hollowed out his mind to find a breakthrough point in "quality"!
And because of the long-term resentment in my heart. After the outbreak. So that the old emperor was hooked on a special way of love. This way. In his previous life, Du Weidi also had a certain group of special hobbies. And in Du Weidi's previous life. There is also a general term for this method: [**]!
Prince Chen is very preferential to the old man. Almost as long as it's something that isn't too excessive. He tried to be as satisfied as possible. Eat and drink well, and carefully protect the safety of the old emperor. He was also checked regularly.
Pity. After all, when it comes to circles and forks. You can't let anyone else watch, right?
And. Even if it's [**]. There are at least some limits! "Abuse" is to pay attention to a certain degree. It's excessive. That's no enjoyment.
The old emperor can be in a hurry to vent. Seems to have forgotten about these. He used a leather whip. with a soldering iron. Even with all sorts of whimsical tools. tormenting the court women of the beast for him to vent. At the same time as abusing those delicate women. Satisfying his already perverted pleasure. It seems that only by watching these weak women scream and cry under their own whips can they regain a little bit of their former dignity and greatness.
No doubt. This practice is extremely perverted.
And there is also a famous saying: where there is oppression. Where there is resistance.
There was a court lady who had been whipped by the old emperor for a long time. After the soldering iron and so on in all sorts of torments. Finally, one day I couldn't bear it anymore. With a determination to die. Unfolded her revenge!
After a hearty [**] game. The old emperor is addicted. Didn't notice the hateful eyes of the woman in front of her. But after the whipping exhausted the physical strength. And let this woman serve herself with her mouth. Outcome......
That night. A terrible scream. The whole hall was evacuated. And when the palace guards guarding the ground outside rushed into the ground. The old Emperor had fainted to death in a pool of blood. He was underneath, a blur of flesh and blood.
And the court lady who had been humiliated. Back when the guards rushed in. He had already hit his head against the wall.
Afterwards, the court physicians and court magicians rushed to the ground, and after exhausting all the methods, they were unable to save Augustine VI, the old emperor, who was already old and decrepit. was bitten off again.
Outcome. Night. The old emperor swallowed.
And he. It is probably the most shameful emperor in the history of the Roland Empire.
Listening to Emperor Chen's expressionless face, he told the scandal of the old emperor's death. Du Wei didn't say a word for a long time. He didn't think he was crying at the moment. Neither is laughing.
And the prince of Chen on the face. Apparently unabated.
But. More obviously. News of the death of the old emperor. Now it is still kept secret by Prince Chen, and the news has not been spread.
And those who were executed by the court physicians. They are also unlucky...... For the sake of secrecy.
"That's about it. Emperor Chen's tone was cold: "We are now facing a difficult problem. Du Wei. I can't think of anyone else to talk to. So I can only summon you back. ”
"But. I don't know how I can help. Du Wei frowned.
Obviously. The next big problem is: the death of the old emperor is difficult to keep secret!
Because even if it's a puppet. He was also nominally Emperor of the Empire. And for a fixed period of time, Emperor Chen will also arrange for the old emperor to appear once or twice in some public occasions. Maintain this signature land.
But now the old guy is dead.
"I'm afraid you'll have to be crowned. Du Wei sighed.
What else can I do? Let Emperor Chen be the youngest son. At the age of ten, little Charles was immediately crowned emperor?
The son is the little emperor, and the old man is still the regent? It's a joke anyway!
"You come with me. Emperor Chen took Du Wei's hand in a heavy manner. Walked into this palace.
The hall was empty, and there was not a single figure. But Du Wei saw it. It was placed on the large bed inside. Nabumani. It seems that there is a person lying on the bed!
Prince Chen pulled Du Wei to the side of the bed and stood ten steps away. A deep sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he coughed: "Father." I've come to see you. ”
Du Wei was shocked!
Then he saw an old figure on the bed struggling to sit up...... Well. That's not a struggle. It's trembling!
Through the curtain. Du Wei vaguely saw that familiar face, it was Augustine VI......
He immediately understood everything like lightning in his heart!
"Your Highness...... Are you going to do that?" Du Wei said cautiously, "I don't think it's a good idea! After all, His Majesty the Emperor has reigned for many years. Many of the ministers are very familiar with him! A person inadvertently makes a move. A look. It's going to be a loophole! If you don't get it right. It's going to be a big nuisance!"
