Soon, everyone felt the change in the atmosphere!

The day of the death of the old Prime Minister Robschan. Dìdū's garrison of the Wangcheng Guards received an order.

It was according to the idea of the little princess Karina that half of the troops were rotated between each city gate, and this transfer suddenly disrupted the original establishment, so that even if someone wanted to make trouble, there was no way.

Subsequently. On the same day. The current commissioner of the Finance Bureau, Baron Sach, the former head of the Dìdū Public Security Office, returned to the Public Security Office, nominally on the order to come and count the annual military pay of the Public Security Office. In fact, he brought a team of guards. After coming to the police station. It was stationed at the headquarters of the police station.

And the commander of the security station is also a smart man, and he obediently cooperates.

Next. Patrols at police stations have doubled. And a few blocks closer to the Imperial City. Martial law was even imposed.

Wang Cheng's guards were transferred. The police station was transferred, this one came. Everyone knows: I'm afraid something happened!

In the dìdū, the eyeliners under the various forces were quickly mobilized. Everyone noticed that the palace was heavily guarded, and news came, which was said to be in the first two rì. Someone saw His Majesty the Little Emperor riding lightly and quietly rushing back to dìdū......

Everything doesn't seem to bode well.

Finally, the news officially came out of the palace: the regent was seriously ill.

And it seems to be a "serious illness" in general.

Many people began to panic, and some gossip was quickly spread by those who cared about it: the regent has always been in good health. Why do you suddenly say no, you can't do it? Is it ......

All kinds of rumors have made the morale of the army a little unstable. Fortunately, the Castle Guard was loyal to the royal family. Moreover, even if someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, there is no chance to do anything before.

But. There is still a rumor that this is a coup d'état! The regent has been killed!

There was a bit of panic among the people.

If it's a coup d'état......

The coup d'état a few years ago is still vividly remembered! That coup d'état was a river of blood on the Imperial City Square. After opening the magic array, the two sides fought fiercely in Dìdū City. The rebels and royalists fought at every turn in the city. Many neighborhoods have been turned into battlefields, with numerous civilian casualties. Even in some of the red-eyed places, some neighborhoods were set on fire by the rebels in their desperate struggles!

In the original coup d'état, the number of civilian casualties in Dìdū exceeded five figures, and that tragedy really no one wanted to experience again.

Even. Many citizens are panicking. Drag the family with the mouth, ready to leave dìdū for a while to avoid trouble.

But. The city gate has been placed under a curfew! With the exception of those who had permission to enter and exit the land merchants, as well as some official chariot and horse processions, civilians were already forbidden to leave and enter the dìdū!

This command. It is even more uneasy in people's hearts.

Is it really a coup d'état?

Fortunately. At the most critical moment of the people's turmoil, the regent suddenly appeared in public!!

Two days in a row. On top of the underground tower of the Imperial City, the regent made a public appearance. Stand on top of the tower. Several of the latest victorious war reports from the Northern Theater of Operations were read aloud.

On the first day, many people did not dare to go to the Imperial City Square to watch, but on the second day. After the first day of going to see the earthlings and taking a walk around the news. More people finally ran to the Imperial City Square, and everyone had only one thought: to see the regent. What happened to him?

Everyone is happy to see. This young monarch of theirs. Standing high above the tower, he looked from afar. His figure was slender, and his waist was still straight. When the battle report was read, his voice was full of anger. Even if you are far away, you can still feel the majesty of His Royal Highness the Regent!

Therefore, many people are relieved.

And just after the public appearance the next day. The regent personally took the hand of His Majesty the little emperor Charles and reported the last battle. Let little Charlie read it.

(Half of these war reports were fabricated.) At this moment, the fighting situation in the Northern Theater is basically stable. Where did you get so many victorious battle reports?)

After reading aloud the last battle report, Charlie Jr. gave a few more inspiring speeches, and finally, in full view. Prince Chen suddenly took two steps back, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, he bent down deeply in front of his son!

He's prostrating!!

In front of tens of thousands of eyes, he, the lord of the empire, finally bowed his head to his son and carried out a public ...... Transfer of power!!

Many people were stunned, because in the hearts of more people, although Prince Chen only hung the title of regent land. But everyone actually saw him as an emperor.

It's an alternate handover ceremony. There are no solemn ceremonies, no guard of honor, no sacrifices. Just bowed to the ground under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.

Prince Tatsu, acting on his own, will be the supreme authority of the empire. Silently handed over to his son.

Subsequently, in the afternoon and evening of the same day, some powerful and powerful figures in the dìdū region received a call from the palace. Go to the palace to meet the regent.

It's different from going to a rì meeting. This time, however, the summons were held one by one. And. Most of the people who were summoned were the regent's cronies!

War Minister Kamisiro. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister of Military Affairs and Logistics, Demonic Beast of Mount Teland. and Count Villa, the minister in charge of the empire's commerce, etc., etc., these were branded as the big men of the empire who were deeply "Chen", and went to the palace one after another. Accepted a separate summons from Prince Chen. No one knows what Prince Tatsu said to these people when he met them alone.

Merely. After a separate meeting with Prince Chen, these people. After leaving the palace, they immediately returned to their own dungeon. Then he made the same move: close the door of the house, close the door and say goodbye!

Subsequently. After the prince Chen met with all his descendants. The second batch of callings began.

The second group of summoned people are not from the Chen lineage, but some of them are in the dìdū and have real power in their hands. Officials and officers of the "Feichen Department" who are in important positions.

These people are not considered the top bosses on the front line, but many of them also have some important power in their hands, about nearly a hundred. After being summoned into the palace. But he was not received by Prince Chen.

These people were all taken to a palace in the imperial city, and they were immediately monitored by several teams of royal guards!

Emperor Tatsu sent someone to tell these people. The meaning is clear: be honest. Nothing to do with you.

Some of the officers who were summoned from among the earthlings. It's some big bosses, and when they see this scene, they are immediately dissatisfied. Cry out: The Lord Regent has summoned us. Is it to put us under house arrest!!

But then. Beside them, some smart people reminded these colleagues: Don't worry, it's not to be against us! On the contrary, this is a kind of protection for us.

Some people still don't understand, and then continue to ask. Those smart people began to sigh: Can't you see it? The empire is about to change the sky, and the prince of Chen is going to officially give way to His Majesty the little emperor......

These people were temporarily "placed under house arrest" in the palace, but they were served by court attendants who took care of their food and drink. Just don't leave this place!

Emperor Chen's requirements for these people are also very simple: at this time, gather these important courtiers who are not his descendants to monitor them in a unified manner. It's an effective way to prevent chaos.

As for whether there will be dissatisfaction: smart people should be able to understand that this is a good thing. If it's some idiot...... Then naturally, there are court attendants who take care of these people and quietly record it. Those people are screaming fools. Wait for the future. Nature by their own sons. Slowly replace these idiots.

"It's the fifth day. ”

Prince Chen sat in his study.

On that day, he took the so-called "fierce medicine" prepared by the chief mage of the court. The body immediately "recovered" in a short period of time!

It was as if he had regained his youthful chūn and vitality, and the sickness in his body had disappeared without a trace, and the feeling of vitality was as if there was a green chūn flame burning in his body—as if he had returned to the time of his twenties.

But. He understood. This was at the cost of a magic potion forcibly burning what little life force he had left!

Seven days! I only have seven days. Over the course of seven days. He's going to get the job done one by one!

Pacify the people and summon their descendants. Supervise non-descendants, troop movements. Movement of the police station. Mobilization of the Imperial Guards......

He returned to the place where he used to work all night: the study.

Since he became regent, he spent the night in his study. Far more than spending the night in his bedroom! Even sometimes he forgot what his bedroom was like.

Sitting in the study at the moment. Prince Chen put down the stack of official documents in front of him: this is some state affairs that he signed autographed - it can be regarded as the last state affairs.

Differently. Compared to Rì. These documents are no longer signed by themselves, but with Charlie's name added to the back.

It's a signal: tell the world. Charlie, the little emperor, has begun to officially take power!

"It's still too short. Prince Chen smiled bitterly.

Now I feel very comfortable that my body is free from pain. But he knew very well that this was his last moment.

Seven days to ...... It is eternal sleep.

"The rest of the time. What else can I do? Alas...... Time, time ......"

His mind kept popping up one thing after another, and he got to the last moment. He wished he could do more, as if he could use the rest of the ground to pave all the roads for his son.

"Time is too short. It's too short. Prince Chen sighed helplessly.

He had thought he had more than a year to live. I didn't expect it. Deterioration of physical condition. Far exceeded expectations.

This time, he just let little Charlie go to the front line to reward the army. In fact, I plan to start with this thing. And then from this time onwards. Slowly let Charlie get in touch with some government affairs, and through a year, give him a familiar process.

It's a pity that now I don't even have a year's life!

God, are you deliberately giving me trouble with the Augustinian......s?

Time, time...... Oh time!

God, if you could give me another ten years, no. Five-year ...... No. Three years!

If only you could give me another three years, I would be able to rule the Augustinian family and make it as hard as steel!! I will be able to bring this ancient empire back to life! I will be able to bring this rusty state apparatus back to this war. Spin fast and get a new life!!

Look at the documents in front of you. Prince Chen suddenly felt a little tired.

Simply throw away the quill in your hand. Then, I pulled a bell next to it.

Around the study, the Imperial Guards and court magicians guarded the place. In the past few days, Prince Chen has been desperately chasing time here almost sleeplessly.

The little emperor, the little princess, and the queen. Even Princess Louise. They all awaited his final summons.

"I have two more days to go. Looking at the court mage who walked in at the door, Prince Chen muttered to himself: "Go and ...... Charlie"

He was about to say that he would call Charlie, but suddenly changed his mind.

In the heart of Prince Chen, the eyes of his son in a daze suddenly appeared in front of his hospital bed that day. and the wise gaze of her daughter Karina.

Contrast. It's so distinct.

"Call Karina...... Alone. ”
