Chapter 348 Pattern(1/2)
Its daybreak.
The city of London was filled with smoke. The flames of the palace had just been extinguished, and the embers were exuding scorching gas. Soldiers were cleaning up the wreckage, and the people opened the doors cautiously. They still dared not let go after a sleepless night.
It wasn't until a Windsor guard rode through the street on a horse and shouted, "The new king has ascended the throne, God save the king" that the people gradually realized what happened last night.
coup!
Judging from the results, the winner has been decided.
Just as the people were talking about it, a salute came from the palace in the distance, no more, no less, exactly twenty-one.
The twenty-one-gun salute is the highest standard and also means that the new king has ascended the throne.
The people spontaneously flocked to the palace, wanting to see the king's honor.
"I guess the new king must be the fourth prince. He is the best to us!"
"No, it must be the eldest prince! Didn't you see that group of Royal Navy? They are the eldest prince's people!"
"Stop talking! It's... the second prince..."
The second prince wearing a crown walked out of the palace, stood on the balcony, raised his arms and waved gently to the people gathered below, causing the crowd to burst into uproar.
Who would have thought that the second prince with the least strength would win the throne?
Aren't those in the Royal Navy the prince's people?
The Times solved their doubts. The headline on the front page was the news about the coup of the eldest prince. The newspaper clearly pointed out that the second prince won the most votes, but the unconvinced eldest prince launched a coup. At the critical moment, the royal family
The navy lived up to its honor and resolutely chose the kingdom to bring order to the chaos...
Everyone who saw the news was dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
The development of things was not something they could have expected at all!
The second prince got the most votes, so forget it if the eldest prince launches a coup... The Royal Navy actually mutinied on the spot?
this...
Who doesn’t know that the second daughter of the Crawley family married the eldest prince?
They also have a child!
If he doesn't rebel, wouldn't the winner be the eldest prince?
By then, the Crowley family will be able to soar into the sky...
Why rebel?
Not only the people couldn't understand this question, but even the second prince wearing the crown couldn't understand it.
Although Touré said in the letter that he chose to rebel out of anger because the eldest prince poisoned the king, this reason was obviously not enough to convince the second prince.
How many fools are there who can make it this far?
Even if you Tulay Crowley relied on the power of your family and became a vice-admiral without much effort, you shouldn't just rebel.
How can you be sure that it was the eldest prince who poisoned the king?
There are rumors in the outside world that it was the second prince who poisoned me!
not to mention...
As the supreme commander of the Navy, old Duke Crowley knows nothing about your plan?
If you know your plan, it will prove that the Crowley family is involved in this matter. The second prince knows the old Duke Crowley's character. He is a man. Even if the eldest prince really poisons the king, he will never do it easily.
betray.
It doesn't matter if you use some dirty means, as long as you can achieve your goal!
The reason why he rebelled angrily because he was poisoned by the king did not make sense to the second prince.
The situation was urgent last night, and the second prince had no time to think about it. The overall situation had been decided today. Only after he officially ascended the throne did he notice something strange.
"His Majesty..."
After the coronation ceremony and before the luncheon started, Baron Frederick found the second prince and once again expressed what he was thinking: "You should be careful about Nicholas and the Royal Navy. Nicholas contacts the Royal Navy without authorization. This is a taboo!"
The second prince, who was wearing the king's robe, waved away the guards around him and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, but I believe in Nicholas. Without him, I would not be the king."
"His Majesty..."
"Stop talking!" the second prince said impatiently: "I have become the king! Baron Frederic! Look! I am wearing a crown on my head! Now everyone must call me your Majesty! My
The purpose has been achieved!"
"You always say that Nicholas has evil intentions. Let me ask you, what is wrong with him? Just because he contacted the Royal Navy without telling me? Have you ever thought that if he hadn't done this, I would have been killed by Charles last night!
"
"Even if there is a problem, it should be the Royal Navy that has the problem! Not Nicholas! Stop targeting him!"
Baron Frederick looked at his son-in-law blankly. The anger in his eyes was not disguised, but came from his heart.
As if he felt that he was too emotional, the second prince took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone: "Since you doubt Nicholas, you should provide evidence. Tell me, what black information have you collected about him?"
"I...."
"You have no evidence?" The second prince frowned.
"Your Majesty, I really have no evidence now, but I know that Nicholas must be executing a certain plan..."
"That's enough! Do you want to listen to what you are saying! This is all conjecture! Conjecture!"
The second prince said angrily: "Are you so jealous of Nicholas? I'm really disappointed for you! You should be ashamed!"
Baron Frederick stood there blankly as if he had been struck by lightning. He never thought that one day, the second prince who had obeyed him would say such hurtful words.
He knew that no matter what he said, it was useless, so he bent stiffly towards the second prince sitting on the throne and resigned with a hoarse voice.
After Baron Frederick left, the second prince asked Ma Wei to be found. When he saw Ma Wei, a smile appeared on his face.
"Nicholas! Look! I'm the king already!"
Ma Wei smiled and said: "Your Majesty is really worthy of this crown."
"Really?" The second prince touched the crown on his head and said with a smile: "I think so too... By the way, I came to you for business."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"The Liberal Party is our strongest supporter, but now that I have become the king, I can no longer lead them, so I want you to succeed and lead them."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Isn't Baron Frederick the leader of the party?"
"He is older and his judgment is not as good as before. Of course, I still let him be the leader of the party. What I mean is to appoint you as prime minister and form a cabinet, so that you can better lead the Liberal Party."
After the coup, the second prince who had just ascended the throne immediately announced the dissolution of the cabinet, deprived Winston Churchill of his power, and asked him to go home to retire.
The same goes for many generals in the army.
Of course things will not just settle like this. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the second prince is planning to settle accounts in the future. He has just ascended the throne and is busy stabilizing the political situation. If he suddenly raises the butcher knife, it will make people panic, which will be disadvantageous.
As long as he secures his throne, those former enemies can be dealt with at any time!
"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to form a cabinet, Your Majesty."
Mavey declined: "You might as well let Baron Frederick pass the title to Stewart and then take over No. 9 Downing Street. I believe he will do a better job than me."
After hearing this, the second prince suddenly became even more dissatisfied with Baron Frederick.
Look at Nicholas!
I keep saying good things to you and want you to become the Prime Minister!
And you?
Constantly slandering others and saying that they have evil intentions... Where is the evil? Please stop talking nonsense, okay? It has been like this for a long time!
narrow.
Narrow-minded!
"Baron Frederick is not suitable to be the prime minister." The second prince said: "I have decided to invite you to become the prime minister and form a cabinet... Nicholas, don't refuse. I don't trust anyone else to be the prime minister except you.
This is what we have discussed before, isn't it? You have great influence in the church, and if you become Prime Minister, the status of the royal family will also improve!"
In addition to trust, the second prince also considered the church.
After what happened last night, the second prince finally saw clearly that Archbishop Brandon could only stop Archbishop Cambury from doing anything behind his back. If he really wanted to help, he needed Nicholas!
If Nicholas hadn't driven him out of the Scotland Yard police blockade and instigated rebellion against the Royal Navy, it wouldn't be him sitting here, but Charles!
"Okay." Ma Wei sighed: "Since His Majesty insists on this, I will no longer refuse."
"That's right." The second prince smiled.
"Your Majesty, regarding the Royal Navy and Scotland Yard Police..."
"Scotland Yard police are rotten to the core! They must be overhauled!"
The second prince snorted coldly: "And the Mayor of London and those people dare to take refuge in Charles, they must pay the price!"
"I understand, but what should I do with them?"
