In the summer festival of the Roland Empire in 960 years, the eldest prince Yawen Augustine mutined in the imperial city, and more than 10,000 rebels besieged the palace.

The eldest prince shouted: "I am defeated, not because of the war, the real destiny is not in me." He also pointed to the prince of Chen and said: "I wish to ask for a flag to be buried and die!"

After speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself on his horse, his subordinates mourned, dozens of people died, and the rest of his troops surrendered.

In addition, the rest of the rebel tribes, including the Marquis of the Romans clan, were all surrendered, the Count of Raymond of the Rollin clan was captured in battle, and the rest of the people were captured.

- "Chronicles of the Empire, Chapter 15, Chapter 6: A Brief Account of the Life of the Regent"

This is the official historical record of the coup d'état in that year.

Buckets of water were poured down.After thousands of people were busy.The blood stains in the central square under the imperial city had been washed away, and the soldiers who walked back and forth with serious faces were all wearing the uniforms of the security department.

After three days of chaos in the city, when the prince of Rìchen showed the spear of Longcinus, Du Wei could not help but see that the eldest prince himself could see that he was defeated and invincible.

Those knights who knelt down on the field, like a sharp needle, easily pierced the confidence in the heart of the great prince.

Looking at the knight kneeling in the middle of the field, the eldest prince's heart was like ice, and he raised his long sword with a trembling hand, and then actually glanced back at Count Raymond.

"Raymond, we're defeated."

After saying that, the prince suddenly straightened his chest and said loudly: "I am the royal family, although I die, I will not surrender!" Then the long sword pointed at the prince of Dichen in the distance, and shouted: "It's not that I'm inferior to you, it's just that the destiny is not in me...... You're just luckier than me!"

After speaking, the long sword was horizontal, and with a light touch on the neck, a trace of blood burst out, and the body had fallen limply under the horse.

Count Raymond was obviously close at hand, but he did not intervene to stop him, for the old earl also knew at this moment that the tide was turning.

Then the scene was chaotic, the rebel army was in turmoil, and the prince of Chen took the opportunity to order the Jǐng reserve army to rush and kill, the palace door was wide open, and the remaining Imperial Forest Army also took the opportunity to rush out.

Marquis Solomon surrendered, and Count Raymond, under the sworn protection of Alpha, was originally ready to rush out of a bloody way, but the Earl of Rollin's family gave up at the last moment.

He pushed away the chief of the Alpha Guard, who was covered in blood, and then threw away his sword, with a haughty expression on his face.

"Luo Lin's family, how can they escape like lost dogs!"

After speaking, the aristocratic general looked at the surging army on the ground, standing tall, and was quickly caught.

And the coup rebellion, with the capture of Count Raymond, and the overall situation has been decided.

"Actually, he didn't have to kill himself." Du Wei looked at the corpse of the Great Prince.

At the feet, the body of the great prince is covered with a thorn flower flag - this is the royal tradition of the Luolin Empire, no matter what, no matter what crime was committed during his lifetime, after the death of the royal family, he will be buried under the thorn flower flag, which is the royal "flag burial".

Even if he is a rebel, but he is not officially convicted of a crime for a day, and he can't take down the banner of the thorn flower on his body.

The blood stains on the corpse ground penetrated the thorn flower flag, and the thorn flower pattern on the banner seemed to carry a little red blood.

Prince Chen was standing beside Du Weidi, his expression didn't seem to be able to see what he was thinking, but after listening to Du Weidi's words, Prince Chen turned his face and glanced at Du Wei: "Oh? What did you say?"

"I said, he shouldn't have killed himself." Du Wei smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that he doesn't understand the knight jīng god...... Seeing so many people kneeling down in front of the knight's spear in your hand scared him out of his mind."

After a pause, Du Wei continued: "Knights pay the most attention to loyalty, although the holy spear in your hand is a holy weapon, but those knights kneeling, it does not mean surrender or rebellion against the great prince, on the contrary, you take out the holy spear, those knights are inspired by the knight jīng Shenyi, but will be more loyal to the great prince...... At that time, in a big battle, although he was already at a disadvantage, he still had a chance to win by three points, but it was a pity that it was very ...... He watched his men kneel down in front of you, but he didn't understand that they were kneeling only for the Holy Spear, not for you.

Du Wei looked at Prince Chen deeply: "I'm really starting to figure it out...... How did your head calculate these things? You have already calculated it, take out the holy spear, and let the knight kneel, you can scare the eldest prince to give up and dodge the words of the prince Chen.

Du Wei silently lowered his head and thought for a while, before he said: "You first pulled the temple into the water, then the magic union, and then took out the spear of Longcinus, you have so many chips in your hand.

Du Wei said, his eyes were like electricity, and he looked at Prince Chen tightly, Prince Chen looked at Du Wei calmly, glanced back at Du Wei deeply, and then dropped a sentence, turned around and left slowly.

"Why do you have to ask me again, if you've already guessed it?"

Du Wei stood in place, stunned, looking at the back of Prince Chen, he only felt that the people he had seen in his life, whether it was his own father or any mainland powerhouse, but no one could be more profound than this Prince Chen!

He sighed and whispered to himself: "If you don't stop him, you deliberately let him coup d'état, just to make him jump out.If he doesn't jump out, how can you get rid of him openly.If you don't get rid of him, how can you justifiably take power......

When these words were whispered to himself, Du Wei himself smiled bitterly first: "It seems that I am not engaged in political material."

In front of him, Prince Chen walked a few steps, paused, turned around, looked at Du Wei, and said with a smile: "Aren't you coming along?"

Du Wei smiled, and the two of them glanced at each other, each thinking about it for a while.

In the palace, the Imperial Forest Army had already changed out of the gorgeous equipment of the celebration place.Fully armed, armor, shields, long swords, axes and guns, one by one, the Imperial Forest Army hurried back and forth in the palace.Those palace attendants were also temporarily restrained.Prince Chen had a very good idea in his heart, and as Du Wei walked, he kept issuing orders to his subordinates behind him.

Du Wei knew that at this moment, the Jǐng garrison outside should have begun to take over the city defense.

As Prince Chen walked for a while, there was a team of golden-armored warriors guarding a tall palace in front of him, and Prince Chen and Du Wei stopped before coming to the palace: "I want to see my father."

The leader of the group of golden-armored warriors hurriedly saluted: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time, and he ordered you to go in as soon as you arrive."

Prince Chen smiled slightly, and looked at Du Wei: "Let's go."

The leader of the golden-armored warrior land stepped forward to stop him, with a difficult face: "This...... His Majesty seems to have summoned you alone."

Emperor Chen's face changed, staring at the leader of the golden-armored samurai, his originally gentle face suddenly appeared a trace of majesty, and his cold eyes stabbed the warrior involuntarily took a step back, and quickly lowered his head.

Prince Chen retracted his gaze and didn't even speak, but just grabbed Du Wei with one hand, and then walked towards the palace without looking at the golden-armored warrior in front of him.

This golden-armored warrior was covered in cold sweat, and he watched as Prince Chen disobeyed His Majesty's order to bring people into the palace, but where did he dare to stop him

Bar?

He is an officer of the Emperor's Guards in the Imperial Forest Army, but after knowing what happened today, I am afraid that he will ...... This palace is about to change its owner, and this prince is still "His Royal Highness", but I am afraid that after going in to see the emperor now, he will become "Your Majesty" when he comes out!

In that case, why should I go against his will?

The others, who don't understand this truth, all stepped back and gave way.Prince Chen just took Du Wei into the palace, and the warriors of the inner court under his command had already surrounded him, and immediately replaced these gold-armored warriors and took over the defense of the outer areas of the palace, and these gold-armored warriors did not dare to resist, so they could only honestly step aside.

In a large and spacious palace, the tall pillars on all sides are covered with gold walls, but the candlesticks that are more than one person are not lit, making the palace that should be a splendid palace with golden walls become lifeless.

The aura of wealth on the golden wall and jade wall penetrated from afar, but it was full of a sense of oppression. Du Wei only took a deep breath, but it seemed to smell a breath of decay that made him uncomfortable.

Well, psychological effects, these are psychological effects.Du Wei carefully reminded himself, and followed behind Prince Chen with a blank face.

Walking further, there was already a timid face of the chamberlain hurriedly pushed open a door, lifted the door inside the gauze tent, in the palace in this room, in the middle is a square bed, four feet above the pillar straight to the ceiling, on the jīng carved patterns densely, one by one in the moon white sè bead curtain, the bed faintly saw the old emperor Augustine VI half lying inside, heavy wheezing like bellows.

"Chen, you're here......" A soft call, followed by a rapid cough, the old emperor seemed to be barely able to stand up, ** waved his hand, and a trembling attendant next to him lifted the curtain and quickly retreated.

"Father." Emperor Chen knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and did not look at the old emperor: "My brother is dead."

"You...... Well done." The old emperor's face was sallow, it was a kind of sè full of withered old taste, and there was no longer a trace of jīng in his eyes, which were full of old and turbid, and it seemed that it was difficult to open even his eyelids.

It's just that after the father and son had such a simple conversation, they all shut up as if they had a tacit understanding.

For a long time, the only thing in the room was the old emperor's gasping like bellows.

Du Wei quietly knelt on one knee behind Prince Chen, he quietly raised his head and looked at the old emperor, this former lord of the continent, at this moment he was completely an old man who was still breathing, his robe was crooked, his face was wrinkled like tree bark, his face was gray, there was no trace of imperial brilliance, and most importantly, his cloudy eyes were ......

Hmm, that's clearly jǐngti!

That's right, the old emperor looked at the son in front of him, looked at the son of Emperor Chen, and his eyes were full of joy and vigilance.

Time froze as if dead, and both the emperor and the prince seemed to be testing each other's patience.

Finally, after a long time, the old emperor suddenly sighed, and there was a hint of complexity in his voice, a hint of hardship: "You, you have come to ask me to abdicate."

Prince Chen didn't answer.

The old emperor suddenly had a sickly flush on his face, he sat up with difficulty, still pressing the hilt of the sword in his arms with one hand, looked at his son carefully, and said slowly: "This time, you calmed down the matter with one hand, and now everything is under your control...... Most of the reason you have come to this point is your own work, and, given the current situation, it seems that I should have announced my abdication and passed on the throne to you, right?"

Prince Chen still didn't answer.

Du Wei sighed inwardly - the emperor's family has no family affection!

Although the old emperor liked this little son, and had always tended to regard the little emperor as his heir, ...... But there is a premise.

I will pass on the throne to you, and I must wait until I am willing to pass on the land!

In the face of the imperial throne, who is willing to give up the throne willingly? The old emperor originally wanted to dominate the emperor's position for a few more years, until he sat in the dead position, and then gave up the land! No one wants to give up the authority in his hand without his eyes.

Even if it's your own son! Even if it's your own heir!

If you want to inherit, you must wait until I die!

At this moment, Du Wei clearly grasped the mind of Augustine VI.

Emperor Chen still didn't speak, the old emperor's eyes showed little by little, and his breathing became rapid little by little, as if gritting his teeth: "You...... Do you want to abdicate now, like him?"

Finally, Prince Chen raised his head, and at this moment, the prince had a gentle smile on his face: "Father, you have a lot of heart."

After speaking, the prince stood up easily, he walked into the bedside, with a gentle smile on his face, but the old emperor suddenly looked like an old lion who was approached by the enemy, the whole person became nervous, pinched the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the green tendons burst out.

Augustine VI was in a state of embarrassment, and all fell into Du Weidi's eyes, and at this moment, Du Weidi's heart suddenly flashed a sentence:

This is politics!

"Father, you are still the emperor, and the coup d'état is my brother, not me." Prince Chen smiled, his eyes were very bright, and the sparkle was half confident, half cold: "But, father, you are indeed old, and the state affairs are complicated, and you are not strong enough to help your brother transfer troops this time...... In the future, my father may need to put more effort into this, and I can protect you once as a son, but I may not be able to help you pass this way every time."

Although the voice is soft, the meaning of the words is indescribably hard!

After finishing speaking, Prince Chen took a step back and bowed to say goodbye: "Your illness has not healed.

After finishing speaking, Prince Chen walked up to Du Wei, gently pulled him up, as if smiling at Du Wei, and left with Du Wei.

Before leaving, Du Wei glanced back, and the old emperor's expression was complicated......

Walking out of the palace, Prince Chen did not leave immediately, but just pulled Du Wei to stand at the gate of the palace and wait.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, there was an attendant in the palace who walked out, and the inner room looked terrified, holding a thing in his hand.

Prince Chen gently took it and opened it.

"Establish Huang Zichen as the regent, and then all state affairs will be handed over to the regent to decide, and he will act as the emperor!"

This sentence was scribbled on this white cloth, the handwriting was a little crooked, obviously when the old emperor wrote it himself, his heart was already very weak.

Emperor Chen smiled with satisfaction on his face, and then summoned a subordinate of the inner court guard and handed over the white cloth.

"Spread it to all departments."

Du Wei looked at Prince Chen, smiled, and said lightly: "Should I call you Your Majesty now?" or Your Highness?"

"Your Highness." Prince Chen glanced at Du Wei: "I am the regent, not the emperor yet.

The news of the first establishment of the regent was immediately passed down with the order of Augustine VI, and the various departments of the central government were not too surprised by the news.

The only slight surprise is that the old emperor did not immediately abdicate the throne, and the prince did not immediately ask for succession, but became a regent.

Emperor Chen acted decisively, and immediately dispatched a thousand people to guard the old emperor's palace.

Because the Imperial Forest Army lost 3,000 men in the coup, Prince Chen even replenished 5,000 men from the Dìdū Public Security Bureau's reserve army and transferred them to the Imperial Forest Army in one go.

Subsequently, the orders of the Regent were handed down like a stream.

The Marquis of Solomon cut off the title, and all the royal firms under his original control were severed, and the territory was recovered, and the family private army was dismissed on the spot.

General Juncker (who had died in battle) stripped him of his baronial title, and was stripped of his military rank and buried as a civilian.

The rest of the nobles and officials who participated in the coup d'état were all imprisoned in the Imperial Inspectorate's prison pending trial, and at the same time, 3,000 jǐng garrisons were dispatched to supervise the prisoners' residences, and they were not allowed to enter or leave.

All soldiers and samurai who participated in the mutiny were dismissed from their military positions on the spot, and those who had died were buried as civilians.

To everyone's relief, this Prince Chen, the new regent of the land, does not seem to have the intention of killing for the time being.Among all the orders, the prisoners were imprisoned, but no one was ordered to be killed......

Just imagine the imperial coup d'état in the history of the empire, which one of the successes wielded a butcher's knife and killed the losers.

It's just that everyone hasn't grasped the current intentions of this victor, except for a few two hundred and five nobles who were anxious to shoot the horses and proposed to severely punish the rebellion, but they were all ignored by the prince Chen, and then they realized that they slapped the horse on the horse's leg.

After another three days, the magic array of the dìdū land had already been eliminated, and the prince of Chen mobilized two divisions loyal to the royal family from the surrounding acropolis to enter the city and control the city defense, the original rebels of the second division of the city guard army in Junkerdi had been canceled, and thousands of rebel prisoners of war were held in the large camp outside the city.

Prince Chen gave a series of orders again, but this time it was a reward.After all, a coup d'état was like a meeting of robbers.

After that, it's time for the victor to share the spoils.

To everyone's surprise, the place that was ranked first in this commendation order was actually the name of Du Weidi, the eldest son of the Luo Lin family!

Du Wei, given the surname "Rudolph" (said to be the surname of a knight in the Knights of Saint Laurent around Aragone, in history), was given the title of duke, court magic advisor, court scholar, court astrologer, and prince magic teacher.

What made all the wealthy nobles almost stunned the most was that Du Wei got the title of "duke" land, which was actually written very clearly on the order of the regent......

Hereditary!!!

Almost immediately, the news sent a gust of wind through the aristocratic circles of Dìdū!

When Prince Rì Chen was in the coup d'état, he promised Du Weidi the title of duke, and many people heard it, but everyone naturally thought that the Duke of Chen's promise to the land must be something similar to a palace title.

There are two kinds of titles in the Roland Empire, hereditary titles and lifetime titles.

Generally speaking, such a title is often rewarded by the royal family, because the cost of spending land is small, although it is glorious, but there is not much real power.

But a hereditary title means that it is absolutely impossible to reward the land! A hereditary title means that the person who is being sealed can get his own territory. He can collect taxes on his own in the territory, and he can also form his own private army, and pass it on from generation to generation! It is equivalent to another country within a country in the empire. The emperors of the past dynasties are not stupid, of course, they understand that the fewer such hereditary titles, the more stable their empire will be. Therefore, unless it is a great merit, there will never be any hereditary titles!

Otherwise, the more the hereditary title is sealed, the more and more territories are rewarded, no matter how vast the territory of the empire is, there will always be a day when the land is sealed!

At that time, the ancestor of the Rollin family, the general who assisted the Augustine family in the rise and unification of the mainland, had great achievements, but he only got a hereditary earl, and Du Wei was on the side of the prince of Chen in the coup...... But it's hard to say whether it's a credit.It's big or big, and it's small or small, but it's hard to assess.It's just that you can be a duke, or hereditary, and it's too shocking to these nobles!

And what is even more shocking that everyone doesn't know happened in the palace, where Prince Chen originally lived, and now in the palace of the regent.

In front of several cronies, including ten years of undercover, who played a key role in the coup, the guy named Cammisilo, as well as the former head of the Sheriff's Office, Baron Sark, and several subordinates of Prince Chen.

The regent casually threw a map of the empire in front of Du Weidi, with a smile on his face: "My lord, look at the map!

When this word came out, everyone was shocked, and everyone became sè!!
