Chapter 208: Standing in the court

Seeing the frightened expressions on everyone's faces, the Duke of Amberton smiled with satisfaction, and then sat comfortably on the throne, and crossed his legs. The ministers saw that he looked like a villain, and they were angry and helpless in their hearts, and in the face of the cold and shining sword, the ministers were helpless for a while, and the changes in the court in the past were so pale and powerless when they encountered brutal force.

Especially the Prime Minister, the Marquis de Cluain, was so angry that his face turned blue and white, and his chest rose and fell vigorously, he had served as Prime Minister for many years, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation in the court, and it was in such a sudden situation.

Now the Marquis of Cluen has gradually come to his senses, and today's sudden change in the court is probably not a king's illness, maybe it is a coup d'état, but he still can't figure out whether this is a coup d'état launched by the Duke of Amberton or the king himself......

At this time, some of the temperamental Geng Zhi had already clashed with the guards, some shouted that they would be punished severely, and some even tried to snatch weapons, and an armed clash was about to break out, and the whole council hall was already in chaos. At this time, the Duke of Amberton was also ruthless, even if he turned this place into a slaughterhouse today, he had to do it to the end, otherwise he would die without a place to bury.

I saw the Duke of Amberton Huo Ran stand up and said loudly: "Stop me, otherwise I will be punished for disturbing the court!"

Some ministers were a little frightened when they heard this, and hurriedly retreated into the crowd, but there were also a few unbelievers who still grabbed the guards' weapons and refused to let go. The Duke of Amberton said fiercely in his heart: "You forced me to do this, then don't blame me for not being merciful!"

The Duke of Amberton roared, "Take all the rebels for me!"

At this time, the Marquis of Cruon also felt that things would not end well if they continued like this, so he also loudly dissuaded the ministers who were still resisting: "Everyone calm down, don't do it......"

However, it was too late for him to dissuade him, and he heard the screams in the council chamber as the ministers who were entangled with the guards were thrown to the ground with three punches and two kicks by the guards, and one by one they let out screams and curses in pain. These ministers are usually pampered, where will they be the opponents of the guards, and now the whole hall gradually quieted down, and no one dared to argue with the guards anymore.

The Marquis of Cluen couldn't help but be angry when he looked at the ministers lying on the ground and wailed, he rushed to the Duke of Amberton in a few steps, and was about to reprimand the other party, when the two soldiers around the Duke of Amberton immediately rushed over, and the bright sword directly pressed against the Marquis of Clueen's chest.

The words that the marquis had just come to his lips were forcefully pushed back, and his face turned red, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. At this time, the Duke of Amberton was already a little out of control, he waved his fist and roared: "Whoever dares to disobey the king's order will be arrested!"

Savin and Alwin had been hiding in the hut behind the council chamber to observe the situation here, and seeing that the situation was getting more and more out of control, Alwin said with some worry: "I see that the Duke is a little uncontrollable, do you want to help him?"

Sawan shook his head and said, "We'd better not interfere until we have to, after all, this is the internal affairs of Hironis, and once we get involved, it will be more complicated." Besides, I don't plan to focus on this place, sooner or later the country will have to be returned to them, and we are aiming for a bigger place. ”

Alvin asked again: "What are we going to do with these nobles next, and do we all lock them up like those people in the Duke's Palace?"

Sawin thought for a moment, then sighed, "It's better to let them all go, but you have to let them sign a document of allegiance first, and then you will have a basis for crusading against them later." ”

Alvin smiled: "The adult's understanding is really high, and he knows how to play the game so quickly." ”

Savin smiled bitterly: "I know that these people must not be convinced, rebellion is inevitable, I only hope that the army will not intervene before this, and when we defeat these nobles, the army will be truly loyal." ”

By this time, no one in the council chamber dared to fight with the guards, and the Duke of Amberton had arranged for them to sign an oath of allegiance, and then asked them to go to the Great Chapel of Tetur to take the oath publicly. Naturally, the ministers refused to make such a request, and if they really signed the oath, they would not be able to oppose the Duke of Amberton morally in the future.

Now the ministers have probably guessed seven or eight points, this incident should be the duke staged a coup d'état, and it is not known how the king's safety is. However, the duke's cleverness lies in the fact that he did not directly usurp the throne, but only gave himself the title of regent, so that everyone could not oppose him in the name of usurpation, which put the ministers in a dilemma.

Sawan called one of the guards and told him to tell the Duke to speak slowly with the ministers until they all agreed to sign, but not to use violence against the ministers. The guard whispered to the duke, who immediately understood what Sawan meant, and put away his cold, iron-like face.

"Come on, serve tea to the ministers. Following the duke's orders, a group of maids rushed in and brought tea and snacks to everyone, after some tossing just now, everyone was already dry and tired, although everyone still did not buy the duke's account, but they would not refuse tea and snacks.

Sawen and Alvin looked at the ministers drinking tea and eating snacks, and couldn't help but secretly sneer in their hearts: "This duke is really bad, it's really an old fox!"

Sawan patted Alwyn on the shoulder and said, "You are staring here, I should go and clean up the city defenses." ”

Alwyn nodded and said, "Your Excellency, please don't worry, it's no problem to leave it to me here." ”

After the two had finished speaking, Savin left the council chamber with a few men and hurried out of the palace. The courtiers have been temporarily controlled here, and the most important thing next is to control the city defense army, as long as the city defense army is grasped in his hands, then the entire royal capital Tetur will be firmly controlled.

Now Savan's biggest problem is that there are too few people, the White Griffin Mercenary Regiment is five or six hundred people at full capacity, and it is already stretched thin to control the palace and the Duke's Palace, if you want to control the whole city, you have to get the city defense army, this matter can only be outwitted, and the speed must be fast, otherwise the whole situation may get out of control.

The person in charge of monitoring the city defense army just now has sent information that the army that was taken out of the city by Azil yesterday has returned to the city and is heading to the city defense army camp. Savin was going to take advantage of the fact that they had just returned to the city and had no idea of the situation. As soon as they left the palace, Savin and the others immediately mounted their horses and rushed towards the city defense camp in the southeast corner of the city.

The ministers in the council hall had refreshed themselves after drinking enough tea and eating snacks, and they all bent their necks and put on a posture of beating to death and not opening their mouths, they were not opponents in the fight, but as long as they did not provoke, the guards did not dare to take the initiative to hit people, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

The Duke of Amberton persuaded a few words at first, but when he saw that the ministers were not angry, he stopped persuading him, and just sat quietly on the throne with a treacherous smile on his face. Seeing this, although the ministers hated to death, they didn't dare to take the initiative to find the ballast, and said that everyone would consume with him, and see who would be soft first!

As the minutes passed, the things that had just been eaten and drunk gradually became things that needed to be excreted, and some ministers began to lose it.

"Let me out! I'm going to the toilet!" said an older minister to the guard guarding the door.

"No one is allowed to leave without the Duke's order!" replied the guard coldly.

"Damn, I'll be rude to you if you don't get out of the way!" the old minister shouted angrily.

"Trespassers will be killed!" the guard said without showing the slightest hint of mercy, and was about to draw his sword. When the others saw this posture, they were afraid that the old minister would suffer a loss, and hurriedly came over to comfort him, so that they could pull him back.

There were more and more people who wanted to go to the toilet, but no matter who the guards were, they all blocked back, and the ministers knew that it was useless to talk to these guards, so they came to the duke and strongly demanded that they leave, but the duke insisted that they should not leave without signing the oath.

The anger of the courtiers was rekindled, and dozens of people rushed to the duke to quarrel with him, when the guards flashed their swords again, and the crowd retreated.

The Marquis of Cluen saw that it was not a matter to make trouble like this, so he took the initiative to come to the Duke of Amberton and said in a consultative tone: "Lord Duke, can you let everyone go to make it convenient first, we promise not to leave the palace, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to follow, can you be accommodating?"
