Chapter 1600: The task of defending world peace will be given to you
Marquis Viertel leaned on the backrest in the carriage and stared outside the carriage.
The streets were dark, with occasional lights flashing by.
Apart from the clatter of horses' hooves and the rolling of wheels, there was no movement around.
Although Ruman City is known as the city that never sleeps, the inner city is very quiet even during the day, let alone at night.
People looking for fun are in nightclubs in outer cities.
Although looking outside, Marquis Viertel did not notice the street scene, but fell into deep thought.
He knew that what he was doing was an extremely dangerous thing, but at the same time, along with the danger came huge gains.
If you want to get this thing done, you will definitely need the support and cooperation of Prime Minister Russell.
Once successful...[
Thinking of this, Marquis Viertel couldn't help but get excited. After success, they will influence Rumain's current political situation and become the new big winner.
Power, wealth and glory will fly into their arms with wings. The goddess of luck always favors those who take the initiative.
The master of this powerful empire must be a true noble, an upright and wise gentleman.
instead of...
"They are not a bunch of hooligans who smell like copper~!" Marquis Viertel cursed harshly in a low voice.
Although Russell is committed to combating the power of the great aristocrats, he still respects the rules of the game of the aristocrats.
It's not like a family of country bumpkins from the East who only have money in their eyes. They employ a bunch of guys from civilian backgrounds and stuff their earthy-smelling butts into the chairs of the chief and deputy chiefs.
If this continues, it will destroy their jobs.
The nobles now only need to sit together and say three sentences that are inseparable from the traditions of the king's era, the glory of the empire's history, and other topics. The reason is very simple, they feel lost.
Ruman City is now full of vulgar nouveau riche, those countrymen from Nai'an. In just a few years, they have made dozens or hundreds of years of wealth from the nobles. And they openly mock the nobles as a bunch of stupid fat pigs.
.
In order to maintain the glorious tradition of the Ruman Empire that has been passed down for thousands of years, Marquis Viertel and his friends will not hesitate to risk their lives.
And there are more people who will be on their side, as long as Russell can make the plan succeed.
Of course, justice is not cheap, and they also need fair rewards.
This plan may seem bold and risky, but it is actually very feasible.
Those aristocratic families that have no direct descendants will also use this method to guard their property and titles to prevent them from being robbed by collateral relatives.[
Emperor Rudrun will not know all this, but Lady Lucrezia is just a little woman from the countryside, and a little scare will definitely shake her.
Russell didn't refuse, and thinking about it, he was actually moved. If that family came to power, he would probably get out immediately. Among these people, he would lose the most.
Just as Marquis Viertel was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly swayed and stopped.
The guards on both sides of the carriage immediately came forward to check.
The Marquis frowned, got off the car, and asked impatiently: "What's going on?"
There are still many people at home waiting for his reply.
"There is construction ahead, digging sewer pipes." The guard turned around and reported to the Marquis in a low voice.
Marquis Viertel did not doubt that construction in the inner city was usually done at night, so as not to affect the normal travel of the big shots during the day.
He stuck his head out and took a look, and sure enough, outside the crowd, he could see a few lanterns and a few swaying figures, circling around a manhole cover.
"Turn back." Marquis Viertel ordered, closed the car and leaned back on his seat, but found that after waiting for a while, the car still did not start.
He cursed secretly in his mind and said angrily: "What's going on again?"
The guard ran forward and said: "The road behind is blocked by several cars. They said they had to go through and asked us to get out of the way."
Marquis Viertel said angrily: "Asshole, didn't you tell me my name?".
"Say it, but those guys with Eastern accents are quite aggressive. They seem to be drunk."
"It's these people again~!" Marquis Viertel cursed, opened the door and jumped out, hearing the fierce quarreling and yelling coming from behind.
The Marquis said in a deep voice: "Fuck them all, beat them hard, and show those country bumpkins some color."
Marquis Viertel's guards all rushed forward with a roar.
The Marquis himself folded his hands and prepared to see how these strangers would be beaten, letting these country bumpkins know that Rumain City was not a place where they could run wild.
His bodyguards are all veterans who have served for seven or eight years and are very skilled.
But contrary to Marquis Viertel's expectation, countless black shadows suddenly jumped out from the surrounding darkness and silently surrounded them.
In the blink of an eye, after a few muffled sounds, all his guards were knocked to the ground, and he himself was surrounded by people.
No matter how dull he is, Marquis Viertel knows that these people are coming for him~!
The Marquis was hit hard on the back of his head. Before he passed out, he was cursing in his heart: Russell, this bastard, betrayed us~!
The shadows that knocked the Marquis unconscious nodded to each other, dragged the Marquis and his men, threw them into the carriage, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, the residence of Marquis Viertel located in the inner city was also closely monitored by a group of people.
Lorraine was on her way to Rumain Palace when she got the news.
The attendant handed a note from the car.
Lord Lorraine quickly scanned the note, then handed it to Catherine next to him. He sneered and said: "When the water is mixed, all kinds of monsters and monsters will pop out."
Catherine looked at the content on the note. She was stunned for a moment, then became furious. Her pretty face turned cold, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "Where are these people now?"
Lord Lorraine patted Catherine's little hand to comfort her and said: "They are all under control, and the others are also under surveillance to ensure that they cannot escape."
Catherine clenched her fist and slammed the carriage. She said angrily: "What a treason~!
We must catch them all in one fell swoop. No fish can slip through the net."
Lorraine nodded and said firmly: "That's for sure. Don't worry, Belen and Deipole are both watching Ruman City."
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, blinked and looked at Lorraine and said, "How did you get the news? I didn't even hear the slightest bit of news."
Lord Lorraine smiled slightly and said: "The Gestapo have been monitoring the gatherings of nobles in the city. Recently, they have had too many dances and outings.
However, despite some suspicions, nothing has been discovered.
This guy was reported to us by Russell on his own initiative."
Catherine was suddenly startled and said in surprise: "Russell? How could it be him~!"
Russell's high-profile behavior this time is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the nobles of the Ruman Empire, and he is waiting to be scolded by the nobles.
Lord Lorraine touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "He is a smart man. You have to admit that he made the wisest choice, and he also knew that it was impossible for Lady Lucrezia to become pregnant.
."
This is the secret of Emperor Ruman. Emperor Rudelun was too flirtatious when he was young, and after an illness, he was diagnosed as infertile.
The queen at that time had not been pregnant for a long time and secretly came up with the idea of borrowing a seed.
As long as the queen has a son, her status can be guaranteed after the emperor's death, and she may even be able to seize the opportunity to take over the power and rule the court. There are countless such things in history.
This led to the accidental death of the queen.
Involved in the great cause of imperial power, behind the superficial luxury and majesty, there is the darkest and cruelest reality. It can be said to be the ugliest place in the world.
Every royal family is like this, and Lorraine knows that the kings, princesses and princes of the United Kingdom are often photographed naked, some of which are taken by themselves, and then agents from the Military Intelligence Service wipe their butts.
Very few people knew about this matter. Originally, there was only one cardinal from the Holy See, who made the diagnosis for Rudrun.
Then the cardinal quietly informed Archduke Julius and Russell of the news.
That's why when Emperor Rudelun's mistress gave birth to a child for him, the emperor asked people from the Holy See to identify it, and secretly investigated it by royal spies.
Of course, everyone knows the result: an unexpected fire ended it all.
If Lady Lucrezia is pregnant, I am afraid that Emperor Rudelun and Grand Council Julius will both go berserk if they know the news. Are they really bullying the small number of members of their royal family?
The heir to the Ruman royal family must be of the royal family's own blood.
Catherine nodded slowly, snorted coldly, and said: "This time, he is on the right team."
Lorraine pointed at the note and said with a smile: "Look at the bottom and it says, from the time the so-and-so Marquis left to the time Russell called, there was a gap of nearly five minutes."
Catherine sneered and said: "For that cunning guy Russell, this is as long as a century. But..."
Catherine looked at Lorraine suspiciously with a pair of bright eyes, tilted her head slightly, and asked: "How do you know so clearly about the things in his office?"
Lorraine lay down next to Catherine's ear and whispered: "Viscount Friedrich is one of ours, but only Belen and I know about it now, so don't let it slip."
Catherine opened her mouth in surprise. Unexpectedly, Lorraine had already stretched out her hand in front of Russell. Then she burst into laughter, hit the Lord Sir Alex on the shoulder with her pink fist, and said: "What if...
Russell knew he would be furious."
Lorraine spread her hands and said, "Viscount Friedrich took the initiative to come over. As you know, he doesn't want to be a secretary for the rest of his life."
Catherine smiled and shook her head, flicking her long smooth hair, and murmured: "They are all smart people~!"
Lorraine raised her hand and pinched Catherine's smooth face, and said teasingly: "This is a cannibalistic world, and fools have long been swallowed up with their skin and bones."
The carriage passed through the palace gate and stopped in front of a luxurious palace.
Surrounded by the guards, Leo jumped down from the carriage, waved to Lorraine and Catherine, and hurried into the palace. Hearing that his uncle was in poor health, Leo was very worried.
Leo was very fond of this uncle-emperor who gave gifts every time they met and even gave toys on his birthday.
On the contrary, my father often carelessly forgets his son's birthday.
Lorraine and Catherine walked into the palace together, and the gray-haired palace steward was waiting in front of the door. He bowed to them and said: "See your Royal Highness, Princess Lorraine."
Catherine waved her hand and walked inside, asking eagerly: "How is my uncle's health?"
The palace steward sighed inaudibly and said: "Your Majesty coughed up blood again today. He couldn't breathe and fainted. He just woke up not long ago."
"How could this happen~!" Catherine sternly reprimanded, the situation was more serious than she thought. "Don't you have a bishop and a doctor by your side?"
The palace steward lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty was infected with wind chill and pneumonia when the enemy besieged the city in the winter before last. At that time, there was a plague in the city for a period of time, and the undead spread poisonous gas.
After treatment at that time, it was under control, but this winter, it relapsed when His Majesty was hunting bears."
Catherine was so angry that she clenched her pink fist and shook it fiercely, saying: "This old man is not obedient at all. Tell him to stay at home~!"
The palace manager sighed and said: "Because of that incident, the nobles and Your Majesty have been having a lot of trouble recently, which made Your Majesty angry. The doctor said that it has affected the condition, and if it continues to get worse, I'm afraid..."
Catherine frowned and said, "What did the doctors say?"
The palace manager said sadly: "I'm afraid I won't survive this summer."
Catherine sighed and said to herself: "You are such an old person, why should you be angry?"
When Catherine and Lorraine stood in front of the door, the palace steward suddenly stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "I have served your majesty for forty years, and it is only when I am with Lady Lucy that your majesty
I am happy, please help Your Majesty."
Catherine sighed and said: "After all, he is my uncle. If I don't help him, who will?"
As he spoke, he opened the door gently and walked in.
Emperor Rudrun was half lying on a big bed, holding the hand of Lady Lucrezia beside the bed, laughing and talking to Leo, listening to Leo tell about his glorious experience in the Semitic tribe.
Seeing Catherine and Lorraine walking in, Rudrun waved to them happily and said loudly: "Come here, Nicole, you haven't come to see me for months, I still think you have forgotten me.
Uncle."
Lady Lucrezia stood up, nodded to Catherine and Lorraine, and sat down next to Emperor Rudelun.
Catherine and Lorraine pulled up a chair and sat on the side of the emperor. Catherine smiled and said: "I haven't been able to live in peace for a year. Now I will come over as soon as I have time."
Emperor Rudrun laughed happily, glared at Lorraine again, and said, "You did a good job, but don't be complacent. There is still work waiting for you later."
Lord Lorraine was helpless and said, "Can you give me a few days off first?"
Emperor Rudelun said with a straight face, "Don't even think about it."
Then he laughed out loud happily.
Lord Lorraine spread his hands, took out a small box from his pocket, and gave it to Catherine.
Catherine put them on Madam Lucrezia's hand and said with a smile: "There's nothing to give. Lorraine bought them as souvenirs from the Semitic people."
Lady Lucrezia was a little flattered and expressed her gratitude to Catherine. When she opened the box, she was immediately stunned by the crystal clear dark blue inside. It turned out to be a sapphire as big as an egg, pure and pure.
The deep blue color is full of alluring magic. It can be called a peerless treasure and is priceless.
"This... is too expensive." Madam Lucrezia was at a loss.
Emperor Rudelun touched her hand and said, "Take it, that boy from Lorraine is a rich man. There is no need to save for him. Seriously, we should raid him more times."
Lorraine could only smile bitterly.
Catherine looked at Mrs. Lucrezia and said with a sincere expression: "You have worked hard to take care of my uncle all these years.
My father said that without you, Mrs. Lucy, my uncle's life would have been different."
Lady Lucrezia was very moved and covered her mouth to prevent her tears from flowing.
"There are some people outside who are doing such outrageous things," Catherine looked at her uncle and said calmly: "It's not their turn to dictate matters about our family. Leo and we all support you."
Emperor Rudrun smiled happily and said, "Look Lucy, if I just say it, Nicole will definitely support it."
Lady Lucrezia stood up, curtsied solemnly to Catherine, and said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Catherine quickly stood up and supported Mrs. Lucrezia. "We should thank you even more."
Emperor Rudelun raised his chin at Lorraine and said: "You heard me. Boy, this is your job. I don't care what method you use, intimidation, bribery, coercion or inducement, to make those noisy guys go away.
Shut up.
When I marry a wife, it will be their turn to make irresponsible remarks."
Lorraine could only nod obediently and said: "Yes, Your Majesty. I will do my best."
"It must be done, and I only give you one week." Emperor Rudelun shook his body, and his domineering spirit surged.
Lord Lorraine bared his teeth and said: "Okay, we will definitely do it~!"
Emperor Rudelun looked at Lorraine suspiciously and said, "You agreed so readily, do you have any other conspiracy?"
Lorraine said angrily: "Your Majesty, can you not use so much?"
Catherine poked Lorraine with her elbow and said, "How dare he."
Lord Lorraine dared to agree so quickly because he had already had the confidence in his heart. The Gestapo had caught the coup plotters headed by the Marquis of Viertel.
If that guy dares to object to the emperor's wife again, he will let the Gestapo knock on his door in the middle of the night. Label him as an associate of the Marquis of Viertel and ask him to go back to the headquarters to assist in the investigation.
Scared them to death.
In this case, whoever dares not to obey will just wait until the world disappears.
Catherine chatted with Rudrun for a few words and then left. The emperor was obviously low on energy now. During the whole process, Lorraine and Catherine wisely did not mention the conspiracy of rebellion.
At the same time, Emperor Rudelun in the palace conveyed the decree and immediately began to prepare for his wedding.
The emperor's wedding is scheduled to be held on February 26th.
But before the wedding could take place, Lorraine attended a funeral.
The previous pope, Saint Paul, died on February 11th.
His vitality should have been exhausted two years ago, but because of the company of his grandsons, the eldest sons of Lord Lorraine, Alexander, Rollins, and Niedos, St. Paul's body miraculously persisted.
When he came down, he saw the victory of mankind, and also saw that his grandson could walk, call his grandpa, and play games with him.
St. Paul left no regrets in his life. He left the world with a smile in his sleep and went to the kingdom of heaven he believed in.
In compliance with St. Paul's will, the Holy See did not hold a grand funeral, but issued a brief obituary and buried him in the cemetery where past popes have rested.
After his wedding, Emperor Rudelun went to a coastal city to recuperate. Before leaving, he issued an order that Archduke Julian would supervise and regent the country.
Emperor Rudelun himself died of illness in December 838. Archduke Julian announced his accession to the throne in front of Emperor Rudelun's coffin.
A strange phenomenon occurred in the Ruman Empire. The queen of the empire was not the wife of the emperor. Apparently, the emperor also planned to remain a bachelor for the rest of his life.
In a room where the funeral of Emperor Rudelun was being prepared, Lord Lorraine put down his pen, looked at a long list, and rubbed his sore wrists.
After the new emperor ascends the throne, the first thing he needs to do is to reward his loyal subordinates.
Many of them should have been canonized long ago, but they have waited until now.
Emperor Rudelun deliberately left them to his younger brother in order to win the hearts of Archduke Julius.
These include generals and soldiers who have made military achievements in the war, including agents who risk their lives on the intelligence front, such as General Manager Belen, Priest Feixi, and Goblins Sand Gold and Silver Light.
They will be awarded hereditary titles.
Lord Lorraine showed a smile full of malice and thought to himself: I wonder if those nobles would jump with anger when they saw the two goblins being made barons.
However, Grand Duke Julius...well, Emperor Julius was not as 'gentle' as Emperor Rudelun. Ever since he took over as regent, the nobles of Ruman City have been living with their tail between their legs.
Especially after it was confirmed that Russell would continue to serve as prime minister, those guys realized that they had been betrayed by Russell again.
Lorraine walked out of the somewhat dull room and took a breath of fresh air outside. She secretly thought in her heart, according to ancient Chinese rules, what kind of posthumous title could Emperor Rudelun have?
He has fought and won two battles related to the fate of mankind. According to this statement, it is completely okay to call him "Wuzong".
However, Rudrun's will was a little too weak, and he did a lot of stupid things that made him slap his head. He left all the state affairs to Russell, and he lived a carefree life all day long, and he seemed to be a "divine sect".
Overall, the reviews are pretty positive.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Leo's voice came from behind.
Sixteen-year-old Leo's height has reached Lorraine's chest. He is actually a little thinner than before, but he is still chubby and soft. He has begun to have acne on his face and his voice has become much louder.
Lorraine stretched and said, "I've finished all the things I should be busy with. I'm just thinking about my future plans."
Leo's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Tell me, where are we going to grab money this time?"
Lorraine rolled her eyes at him and said slowly: "I'm going to build a big ship."
"Bigger than the Enterprise?"
"Yes, it's bigger than the Enterprise, a cruise ship." Lord Lorraine looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "Then take Nicole and the others on a voyage around the world to see the Eastern Fortress.
In Reese, you can eat delicious food from all over the world and see the scenery all over the world.”
Leo licked his tongue and said with a smile: "The boss is still great, the local market has been almost developed, and we are about to open up overseas markets and new profit growth points.
I want to go too. We are just opening up a new trade route to the East. Silk, porcelain, and tea are all big business~!
Boss, tell me, what should we do next?"
Leo said as he rolled up his sleeves, eager to try.
"Then?" Lord Lorraine was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "Then of course he will go sightseeing with his girlfriends, write some operas and novels, and cheat two young artistic women."
"But," Leo asked anxiously, "Boss, what about our business?"
Lorraine smiled and patted Leo on the shoulder, winked and said, "Why should I worry about you when you make money for me?
Young man, the task of safeguarding world peace will be left to you from now on."
