When Hond, who was leading the First Infantry Regiment of the Royal Guards, learned that the Earl of Schwartzburg had actually led his men to the Emperor's Palace by Maximilian, Hond's face turned into ashen.
"What exactly do the Cologne want to thank! Don't they know the murderer of the Schwarzburg people assassinating His Majesty the King of our country! What is Carlo doing?"
Hearing the second half of Hornder's culture, the soldier who came to pass the order quickly said:
"Your Excellency, Commander Carlo is leading people to monitor the movements in the Emperor's Palace. Commander Carlo also said that the Emperor's Palace is of great importance after all, and without obtaining the consent of His Majesty the King, the Commander dare not act rashly!
”
Although Hornder was angry at Carlo for not taking action at first, his reason was not lost. Like Carlo, he knew what the Emperor's Palace meant. It can be said that without William's permission, even Huo
Senior officials like Ende dare not risk the danger of turning against the imperial emperor and surrounded an emperor's palace in a dignified manner. After all, this can be said to have created a very terrible political event.
While in the streets of Hornde Street, William, who was still in the resident, also received information from Carlo.
When William learned that the Earl of Schwartzburg had led his men to openly enter the Emperor's Palace and the Cologne also released it, like Hornder, William's face became quite ugly.
Maximilian had just rejected Vivian and William's request for further development, and now Maximilian has protected the most suspected murderer behind the assassination of William. This made William unable to accept it at all.
"I will surround Maximilian's palace and I will rush over now. I will immediately let the army guard the gates of Cologne, and immediately send an order to the Third Division of the Empire. Without my order, the Empire
If the Third Division changes abnormally, it will be regarded as the enemy of Prussia!”
Although near Cologne, the Prussian royal guards had more than 10,000 troops, such troops had an overwhelming advantage against any prince. In the Cologne area, Maxi was the only one who could compete with Prussia in the Cologne area.
The Cologne army under Milian's control. However, even though the troops are not much less than the Prussian royal guards, there is no doubt that the combat effectiveness of this army is still questionable.
But even so, Prussia cannot be regarded as the dominant one in Cologne. After all, the Cologne army and the Imperial Third Division just formed outside Cologne, the combined force of the combined force is more than 20,000, and the force is the two of the Prussian army.
Time!
"Your Majesty. Do you think about it again?"
Speak is William's newly promoted servant, whose name is Besson, who was promoted by William in the Battle of the Austrian Netherlands.
"No need to think about it. Since Maximilian dares to surrender and rebel, he must be prepared to bear my anger! Also, immediately pass the orders to the princes in Cologne, if they support Prussia, then Prussia is
They will not ignore their friendship, but if they stand opposite Prussia at this time, they will face harsh revenge in Prussia!”
Seeing the firm expression on William's face, Besson knew that William had made up his mind, so he retreated behind William and followed William to leave the station and rushed to the Emperor's Palace in Cologne.
At this moment, outside the Emperor's Palace, two thousand Prussian soldiers and the Cologne army guarding the palace were coming one after another. Even the royal guards brought more than twenty heavy artillery pieces, which was a big deal.
If you don’t agree, you will start a war.
However, after the Prussian army made such a gesture, the Cologne did not compromise. The 300 Cologne guards guarded at the gate of the palace had increased to 800. At the same time, these Cologne also placed heavy positions at the gate of the Emperor's Palace.
The Cologne also set up cannons after the antlers.
Just as there was a war at the gate of the palace, Maximilian summoned the Earl of Schwarzburg in his palace.
"Felid, what exactly do you want to do when you come to me? Where is that document?"
Hearing Maximilian's question, Fereid's previous panic turned calm. He did not answer Maximilian's question immediately but walked to the palace.
After sitting down on the sofa, he spoke slowly:
"Your Majesty, you should know what I came here for? The Prussians wanted to kill me, and in this case, I could only hide from our great emperor!
As for that document, it is something that saves my life. How could I carry this thing that is equivalent to my second life with me at any time? Naturally, I have found a safe place for it!”
The Count of Schwarzburg's attitude angered Maximilian. His Majesty the Emperor rushed to the Count of Schwarzburg without his reservation and slapped him in the face.
"Stop beating around the bush with me! Ferred, I don't know what kind of virtue you are. If you believe it or not, I will hand you over to the Prussians immediately. I don't want to be flirted with because of you!"
"Your Majesty, if you really don't want me to drag you down, you can hand me over to the Prussians! But after I fall into the hands of Prussia, I don't think you will have any good endings. I believe the Prussians are
I will never sit and see someone who betrays himself sit on the throne of the imperial emperor!"
After hearing Ferreid's words, Maximilian's face looked a little pale.
Of course, Maximilian did not think that his secret plan for the Prussians could be called betrayal. After all, Maximilian was the direct blood of the Habsburg family. His body was filled with noble emperor blood, and the Prussians were dying.
At best, he is just a bigger prince. How could he tolerate a mere prince acting as a mighty prince on his head?
But what Ferrede said is also right. The Prussians will definitely not think about the problem from the perspective of Maximilian. The Prussians will only think that Maximilian betrayed them.
"Your Majesty, if you don't save me, then not only me will die, but everyone will die! Also, don't think about killing me. As long as the news of my death spreads, that document will definitely appear immediately.
In the hands of the Prussians, of course you have another option. That is, we immediately unite all the forces to launch a liquidation of the Prussians. You must know that in Cologne, our power is not weaker than the Prussians.
And as long as the Prussian king can be killed, the Prussians will be in chaos for a while. At that time, we can take the opportunity to win over more people and expand our power! And you can also become a well-deserved imperial emperor!
”
看到马克西米廉的脸上露出了异色,费烈德连忙添油加醋的说道.
It is naturally false to say that Maximilian is not moved. But Maximilian does not think that killing William can solve all problems, and being able to kill William is another problem. After all, the combat effectiveness of the regular Prussian army is there.
,而普鲁士王室近卫军更是由整个普鲁士挑选出来的精锐之士组成.
Although the vassals and powerful people in Cologne joined forces and had a much greater strength than the Prussian army, if we were to do the combat effectiveness, then whether we could defeat the Prussians would be a very questionable thing.
But now Maximilian has no way out. He knows that if he doesn't take action, he will be far from death. But now Maximilian is absolutely unwilling to turn against the Prussians.
"Feirede, I have another way. I need you to die, not only you, and everyone who follows you into the palace will die!"
Fereid was stunned when he heard Maximilian's words, and then his hand was even more on the saber around his waist. Obviously, he did not hear clearly the hidden meaning of Maximilian's words, after all, it is now a problem.
No one can calmly think about the twists and turns in it.
Seeing Ferreid's vigilant behavior, Maximilian knew that Ferreid had misunderstood, so he waved his hand and said:
"Ferreid, don't be impulsive, listen to me now! The Prussians have already known the news about you here. If I don't hand you over to the Prussians, then the Prussians will not give up.
Come on, there is no good fruit for me and you. If that is the case, it is better for me to announce that you and your entourage have been killed. We can find someone who is similar to you to pretend to be you.
Then he was scratching his face, so the Prussians naturally had no excuse to do it again!"
After hearing Maximilian say this, Ferred thought about it and felt that it still makes sense.
Ferred did not have much contact with the Prussians, but even though the Prussians knew Ferred and after scratching their faces, the Prussians naturally had no way to distinguish it. In this way, Ferred had hope of preservation.
But in this way, there is another problem, that is, Feyre arranged by his heart
"Feid, you have said that you let your confidant hide the document with him. If he had learned of your death, would he publish the document to the Prussians?"
Hearing Maximilian say this, Fereid knew that the old fox was testing him. Fereid looked at Maximilian. Sure enough, the old fox was staring at his face tightly, as if he was afraid of missing any one.
expression.
After noticing this, Fei Lied pretended to think for a while and then said:
"Please rest assured that my man is a smart man. As long as he knows that the dead man has been scratched, then I think he will not provide the documents to the Prussians!"
Hearing Ferreid say this, Maximilian was relieved and cursed Ferreid for being cautious. You should know that Maximilian's peeping at Ferreid just now, but I hope Ferreid can reveal some of it.
It's a clue, after all, only in this way can Maximilian find out the trace of Ferid's confidant.
"Haha, then that's the decision, will you do the people outside the palace take action or I do it!"
The smiling Maximilian asked Ferred, and when he heard Maximilian's culture, Ferred face showed a hint of unbearable expression. After all, those who could break through with him were all about him.
The loyal and important minister, but after just thinking for a while, Fe Reed made up his mind. After all, he could no longer tolerate any unbearableness. After all, if they don’t die, then he will be the one who dies!
After making up his mind, Fereid said to Maximilian with a calm expression:
"Your Majesty, you know that I am a lonely man now, so let me leave this matter to you! But I hope you can fight quickly!"
Hearing Ferreid's words, Maximilian showed a smile on his face, and then he attracted his close servant and said:
"Send someone to entertain the guests outside us immediately!"
He was stabbed to death by speaking, Maximilian made a neck-swept shape with his hand around his neck, and then Maximilian continued:
"Also, go find someone who looks and figures like our respected Earl. Don't worry about who this person is. As long as there is some similarity, immediately scratch his face and throw it into our guests outside!"
After Maximilian finished giving instructions, the close attendant immediately showed a look of understanding on his face, and then he quickly left the room.
"Okay, Lord Fei Liede, there is still a secret room in this palace. I will ask someone to take you there later. I am also sorry that you can stay in that secret room for a while. I am going outside now.
I’m dealing with those Prussians, and I hope God can bless us!”
As soon as Maximilian finished speaking, Fereid quickly smiled and complimented:
"Your Majesty the Emperor is the one who was chosen by God. A hero like you is naturally blessed by God. I believe that Your Majesty will be able to escape danger. Besides, unlike here, Your Majesty has the support of the Duke of Hesse and others.
, I think the Prussians will not make things difficult for you even if they are concerned about the impact!"
Hearing Ferreid's compliment, Maximilian was not so proud of it, but waved his hand and asked Ferreid to leave the room and go to hide in the secret room.
