In Laines, the capital of the Laines Empire, a Rolls-Royce car was also parked at the gate of the Royal Palace.
The prime minister of the Lions Empire got out of the car worriedly. His car was also given to him by the new emperor Lions II.
However, unlike the Tang Empire, where the emperor and his ministers were in harmony, the prime minister of the Lanes Empire knew very well that this was something the new emperor used to bribe him - what happened to the old emperor now is still an unsolved mystery.
Originally, the prime minister was the confidant of Lions I, and he stayed in the imperial capital to check and balance the crown prince. Unfortunately, Lions I was "killed in battle," so Lions II's rise to power became unstoppable.
The prime minister had no choice but to make a fool of himself and cooperate with Lions II to take control of the government. After all, doing so could allow Lions to recover before the real storm came.
After tidying up his clothes, the prime minister walked up the steps and wanted to meet his new emperor. When Lions II ascended the throne, he, the prime minister, also contributed a lot.
"You are a scum that has brought disaster to the country and the people!" Before anyone could react, a sudden shout rang out.
The guards on the stairs widened their eyes. They never thought that in a place like the palace, someone could actually take out a pistol from his pocket.
The prime minister also didn't expect that someone really dared, or that guy who had just sat on the throne of the emperor, really dared to kill him, the prime minister, by crossing the river and destroying the bridge.
Assassination is a taboo in aristocratic circles. Under normal circumstances, no one in power would choose such a reckless way to resolve conflicts.
After all, this will make the struggle more acute, and both parties will use all possible means. Such a political environment is obviously not good, and is what those in power least want to see.
Therefore, unless it is the most unavoidable situation, generally no one will choose assassination, the least technical way to deal with their opponents.
But, at such a moment that even the prime minister himself did not expect, a waiter took out an exquisite PPK pistol. No one could have expected that the young man on the throne would be so eager to reach out for power.
out of my own greedy hands!
Moreover, the way he reached out was so violent that he simply did not follow the rules. Such a situation would definitely be resented by the nobles and would cause a political backlash!
But all this happened later, what was in front of him was truly fatal. The prime minister subconsciously wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The other party stretched out his pistol, pointed it at him and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A bullet penetrated the prime minister's chest. His body trembled, and then he looked down and saw the extra hole in his chest. Blood spurted out, staining his prime minister's dress red.
"Boom! Boom!" As if fearing that the prime minister would not die, the other party pulled the trigger again and again. The bullets hit the prime minister one after another, one hit the prime minister's stomach, and the other hit his chest.
heart.
"Boom! Boom!" The waiter who suddenly drew his pistol opened fire wildly, ignoring the surrounding guards who were about to rush up to stop him.
As he emptied his magazine, he shouted loudly: "Your son has taken possession of my daughter. Today I will tell you to die!"
Immediately afterwards, he was thrown to the ground by the prime minister's bodyguard, and before he could raise his gun to commit suicide, the weapon was taken away from his hand.
"You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!" The waiter shouted crazily, and then spit out foam with a pungent odor from his mouth.
"He has taken poison! Stop him!" the prime minister's bodyguard shouted loudly, but he was helpless. He smelled the smell of almonds, which was a very popular suicide drug: potassium cyanide.
This kind of thing is very dangerous and very effective. Just a little bit can kill a person completely, and there is no need to rescue him at all.
The cry of the secretary who was following the prime minister brought everyone's attention back to reality. The prime minister had been shot several times and was completely unconscious at this moment.
The blood had dyed his clothes red, and soon his breathing stopped. He had already died before the emperor from the palace arrived.
"Your Majesty! Danger!" The guards of the Forbidden Palace dutifully reminded young Lions II to pay attention to his safety, but the emperor still pushed aside the crowd with his hands and came to the body of the prime minister covered in blood.
"Why is this? Why." It can be seen that the new emperor really respects the prime minister who supported him to the throne. He held the corpse and wailed, his voice full of sadness.
"You and I, as monarchs and ministers, should have made great achievements, but... why did you leave this mess to me alone?" The emperor ignored the blood on his hands and asked the question sadly, as if there was really someone who could answer it.
Same as him.
The doctor came immediately after, and after making sure, he told the emperor the news that the prime minister was dead. The prime minister's bodyguards were isolated from the outer circle by the imperial soldiers, and they could only watch helplessly as their master was covered with a white cloth by the doctor.
Everyone knows that no one in this country can restrain the young emperor in front of him. He is about to take control of the power, cultivate his cronies, and rule the entire Lions Empire.
Returning to his palace, he felt a chill. There were still tears hanging from the corners of Lions II's eyes, but his whole temperament was completely different.
He waved his hand, and the people around him immediately retreated knowingly. The new emperor of the Lions Empire couldn't help but smile in his palace.
He succeeded! He succeeded! He sat on the throne, killed his political opponents, and now... he has become the true master of this country.
As long as he is not an enemy of the Tang Empire, then he, the emperor, can control the wind and rain in his own empire and enjoy glory and wealth...
According to the envoys of the Tang Empire, he will soon get the support of the Tang Empire, both economically and militarily!
As long as he supports the Tang Empire politically, stands on the side of the Tang Empire, and supports the Tang Empire to continue its just war... he can enjoy his throne.
Is there a better deal than this in the world? He agreed without thinking. Anyway, he just wanted to get rid of the stumbling blocks that his father left in the court to cause him trouble, and he could also get the Tang Empire if he could go with the flow.
The benefits, why not do it?
Thinking of this, and looking at the empty surroundings, Lions II could no longer control his expression. He grinned, showing his teeth, and laughed silently.
