Chapter 146 [Betrayal] (Part 2)

When Earl Raymond saw this, he sighed softly and whispered to himself, "I haven't seen this scene for twenty years..."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head, looked at Augustine VI in the distance, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the magic circle has been activated... As far as I know, the activation of the magic circle requires all the court magicians to exert their full strength. It took at least an hour to activate the magic circle! In other words, before the First Prince launched an attack just now, those court magicians were already activating the magic circle! Once the magic circle is activated, it cannot be stopped even if you want to! And this magic Once the formation is opened, it will take at least three days to close it, and during this period, all the court magicians who preside over the magic formation cannot leave their posts!"

Earl Raymond said this in a gentle voice, and Augustine VI's eyes suddenly became gloomy: "Raymond, you have even found out about this... You have calculated the time to make my son angry. Could it be your idea? Did you help him think?"

"You are still so wise." Earl Raymond bowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Now, the 10,000 Imperial Forest Army in the palace, the most elite 3,000 people, have been killed in Victory Square, and the rest Seven thousand people can't defend the huge palace at all. You can't mobilize the power of the court magicians within three days, and even if the magic circle stops after three days, those court magicians who have consumed all their magic power may not be able to use it. How useful. " Earl Raymond sighed and said, "Of course. In normal times, you can use the last imperial guards to defend the palace, and then ask for help from the acropolis or other troops outside the imperial capital. But it is a pity that , once the magic circle in the imperial capital is opened, no one can enter or leave! Even if you mobilize reinforcements, they can only wait outside the city for at least three days! Three days.  We are in the imperial capital, enough to solve all the problems Yes. Are you right? That is to say, within the palace, there are not many forces you can rely on. "

Count Raymond suddenly bowed deeply in front of everyone, made a very respectful aristocratic courtesy to Augustine VI, and then said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty! Please abdicate!"

"Please abdicate!"

On several high platforms around, many nobles and ministers who originally belonged to the First Prince's party finally spoke at this moment. Dozens of voices gathered into one group...

Augustine VI's fingers trembled, his eyes viciously swept across Earl Raymond and the others one by one, and finally stopped on an old man!

"Marquis of Solomon!" Augustine VI suddenly became agitated, with a trace of deep resentment on his face: "You! You white-eyed wolf! I have always trusted you so much that I even handed over the royal family's property to you! Now you have betrayed me with them too!"

The Marquis of Solomon, who was stared at by the old emperor, looked calm. He raised his head calmly and looked at Augustine VI. Then nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty, I did this matter with them.   Now those archers below, I used your Royal Industry and Commerce Association fleet to quietly transport them into the imperial capital.   And because With your special warrant, no one dares to interrogate even on the river. ”

"Then what about you! Junker!" Augustine VI suddenly pointed to General Junker who was standing not far from Earl Raymond. The old emperor roared angrily: "Junker! I trust you so much! I even handed over the Second Division of the Guards to you! I handed over the entire imperial capital to you!"

Jun Ke's face was indifferent, he straightened his body, looked at the old emperor coldly, and replied calmly: "Your Majesty, you did hand over the city defense of the imperial capital to me...but if I guess correctly, if I If you don't do it, you will replace me within a month! You are old, and you are preparing to pave the way for the succession of Prince Chen. A general like me who is in the imperial capital and still holds military power will soon I was relegated to other places by you! Prince Chen needs some newcomers he trusts to take up the position of city defense...and I... It's just a coincidence. Over the past few years, His Royal Highness Chen and I have not had a good relationship. "

The old emperor shook violently. This time he seemed to be really knocked down, he bit his lip so hard that even the corner of his mouth was bleeding.

"Betrayal! Betrayal! It's all betrayal!!" Augustine VI's voice roared. .

Count Raymond looked at the aged Augustine VI and sighed: "Your Majesty, as I said just now, it was not us who betrayed you, but you who betrayed us!"

"You...you! Nonsense!!" The emperor suddenly slumped down on the chair, and his fall caused the people around him to exclaim. Augustine VI was panting violently, staring at Earl Raymond: "You said I betrayed you! Nonsense! Nonsense!!"

"On the contrary, what we are talking about is the truth." Count Raymond looked at Augustine VI calmly: "Your Majesty, everything I say is the truth!"

As he said that, Earl Raymond turned sideways, raised his hand, and pointed behind him... On the high platform behind, most of them were wealthy aristocratic families and ministers from the empire owned by the eldest prince.

"Your Majesty." Earl Raymond said slowly, "Have you noticed that most of us who support the First Prince are around his age! I think if you haven't forgotten, you should still remember What the First Prince said just now. ”

Standing behind his father, Du Wei watched Earl Raymond face the emperor of the empire with an almost indifferent tone, and suddenly a strange and complicated feeling arose in his heart.

"Your Majesty, when the Eldest Prince was still young, you told him that everything he learned was to prepare him for succeeding you in ruling the empire! You told him these words, the same, You have said the same thing to many of us!" Earl Raymond pointed at Prince Chen: "Before His Royal Highness Chen was born... no, to be precise, it was when the First Prince had just come of age At that time, at that time, you have trained the eldest prince as your heir for more than 20 years! We, as a group of the same age as the eldest prince, set foot in the upper-class inner circle of the imperial capital at the beginning At that time, I was trained by you as someone who would assist the First Prince in the future! I still clearly remember that just before the outbreak of the Northwest War twenty years ago, I was about to go to the front line of the desert with the First Prince! At that time, you still I was summoned into the palace alone, and you said to me, "Raymond, you will be the best person to assist him in the future! You represent the future of the empire!" I have not forgotten this sentence! Because from very early In the early days, you put many of us around the First Prince, almost intentionally or unintentionally, and you single-handedly connected us closely with the First Prince! Since we stepped into the political arena, you have been branded as 'big prince' The brand of "Prince and One Party"! We did not put this brand on by ourselves! It was you who chose us as assistants to the eldest prince in order to train the successor and train the team for the successor! All of this happened on Chen It started before the prince was even born!"

Afterwards, Earl Raymond changed his tone: "Thirty years have passed... the us back then are now gray-haired. We grew up with the eldest prince. We are friends and companions, because since I was young, you I have hinted to me many times that the eldest prince will become the new emperor in the future, and he will be the object of our generation's allegiance in the future! I think I did it...and the people behind me, we all worked hard to do it But..." He suddenly gave a wry smile: "Suddenly one day, you changed your mind! Just because of a ridiculous decision for no reason! Those of us who have followed the First Prince for thirty years, what is the future? You told us back then , the eldest prince will be the future emperor, you have to assist him! Alright! We did it! But thirty years later, you suddenly said that the eldest prince will not become the emperor! Then I would like to ask... where are we going to go? Yours A change of thought has made our 30 years of efforts aimless! Prince Chen is young and promising, but unfortunately he is not the object of my allegiance! To say something outrageous, if Prince Chen succeeds, he will naturally With his confidantes, when the time comes, where will we put those who belong to the eldest prince's party?? So..."

The patriarch of the Rollins family finally sighed and looked at Augustine VI: "So, it's not that we betrayed you, but you betrayed us first! You first gave us a goal, let us fight for thirty Years! Then you easily canceled our goal and made our thirty-year goal come to naught. Excuse me, this is not a betrayal, what is it!"

Earl Raymond's eloquent talk made Du Wei almost couldn't help applauding his father!

Father... amazing! Even rebellion can be so righteous! To put it that way, it seems that Augustine VI is really sorry for them.

"Count Raymond. "

Suddenly, a melodious voice came slowly. Prince Chen, who had never spoken but had been sitting on the sidelines all this time, suddenly spoke, with his iconic smile still on his face: "Your Excellency Earl Raymond, I think Let me ask you a question, as you said just now, if my father asked you and those behind you to be loyal to me from the beginning, would you also do what he ordered?"
