Fortunately, Louise immediately remembered her identity, so even if she didn't want to, she had to restrain her hostile eyes. After all, Rocks was the Prime Minister of Prussia.
"Rocks, Hans, I heard that there have been some situations in the government and the Ministry of Intelligence recently, which even directly caused my wife Anne's life to be in danger. I need you to give me an explanation for this!"
Although William's tone was a little soft and gentle, the meaning of his words obviously contained a hint of murderous intent.
After hearing William's words, Hans glanced at Rocks. When he saw the calm expression on Rocks' face, Hans quickly calmed down his mind.
No matter from which aspect, when the sky falls, there will be tall people who can hold it up, and Rocks is undoubtedly the tallest person present except William. Moreover, William also specifically put the government at the front in his question just now.
Obviously, Locks must speak first at this time. If Hans spoke first, it would obviously not be appropriate.
But Locks fell silent after listening to William's words, seeming to be organizing his words. However, Locks delayed for too long, causing Louise to be unable to wait any longer. Just before Louise
Just when he was about to question Rocks, the Prime Minister just said:
"Your Majesty the King, everything you said is definitely a malicious rumor spread by someone. With the frontline army winning battles repeatedly, the royal government is currently operating normally in all aspects. Even inspired by the frontline victory, the tax revenue ratio in the last quarter
There has been considerable growth over the same period.
As for what you said about Queen Anna's life being in danger, in my opinion it is even more impossible to talk about. As the Queen of Prussia, Queen Anna is deeply loved by the Prussian people. In this case, who dares to do anything to Anna?
Her Royal Highness the Queen is simply declaring war on the entire Prussian people.
Could it be that His Majesty’s previous words were doubting the loyalty of the old minister or the loyalty of the entire government to you!”
When Rocks said these words, the expression on his face could be described as awe-inspiring. But what the prime minister did immediately made William feel uncomfortable.
"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister, I don't doubt your intentions, and I also believe that everyone in the government is loyal to the kingdom, but Anna is of great importance after all, especially at a time like this, I will never
Allow Anna to have a little accident. Prime Minister, do you understand this?"
"I understand!"
After Rocks responded, William asked Rocks to leave, but at this moment Hans became embarrassed. After all, William asked Rocks to leave but did not let him leave, so Hans could only stand still.
Regarding Hans, William's mood was even more complicated. After all, Hans was not only his trusted minister, but also a nurturing figure to him.
After Rocks left the palace, Louise said to William with a dissatisfied look on her face:
"You just let Rocks leave like that? Do you know that your wife is facing a conspiracy!"
After hearing Louise's words, William said helplessly:
"Mother, I understand what you mean, but after all, Rocks has dedicated his life to the Hohenzollern family for so many years. Without clear evidence, do you want me to deal with a prime minister on the spot?"
Then William continued:
"Mother, please leave for a moment. I have something to say to Mr. Hans."
Hearing what William Gao said, even though Louise had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, she still needed to maintain the authority of His Majesty King William, so she had to leave the palace.
After Louise left, William sent all the attendants out of the palace, so that only William and Hans were left in the palace.
"Uncle Hans. You are the person I trust the most. Now there are only two of us. There are some things you should tell me!"
William's sudden opening caused a look of struggle on Hans's face, but Hans knew what kind of deal he, Rocks and others were planning. In this case, if Hans opened his mouth and explained all the reasons,
Then not only Hans will be unlucky, but his entire family will be unlucky. After all, there are too many people and forces involved in this matter.
So after hearing William's words, Hans gritted his teeth and said:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being ignorant. I don't understand what you mean!"
Hearing Hans say this, William sighed heavily
"Uncle Hans, you raised me. It can be said that you have nurtured me, so you are one of the people I trust the most. Over the years, many people have reported to me that your rights should be restricted.
, but I have never made a move, you should understand what I am thinking.
I know that Du Li is dissatisfied with Anna, and I also explained that Du Li is my first woman, and I am actually very embarrassed about this. Sometimes I really hope that someone can understand me.
My father died young, and to be honest, I only met him a few times when I was growing up. It is obviously untrue to say how much I have feelings for him. Because of this,
Sometimes I unconsciously regard you as my father, because I know that your care for me is also a kind of father's love.
That's why I won't impose any restrictions on you. Otherwise, how could the Hans family have jumped from a local nobleman in Parets to a hotly sought-after powerful person in the upper echelons of the kingdom.
At the same time, it is precisely because I know about the conflict between Du Li and Anna that I allow you to develop your own power in the government. The reason for doing this is also my own selfishness. I think Du Li can gain the ability to offset Anna.
This way we can ensure that if something unexpected happens to me, Anna will have to be more cautious even if she attacks Du Li!"
After saying this, William let out another heavy sigh.
While William was speaking, Hans's head was always lowered. No one knew what Hans was thinking, but the changing expression on Hans's face was quite tangled.
William just looked at Hans silently until Hans raised his head and said to William with a heavy face:
"Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Hearing Hans say this, William breathed a sigh of relief, but what he didn't expect was that Hans continued:
"I am indeed dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness Anna's mother-in-law being Prussian as an Austrian, so I sent my own retainers to assassinate Queen Anna. All this is caused by my stubbornness! If your Majesty wants to pursue it, please pursue it.
I, Du Li and Carlo, please consider their kindness and spare their lives!"
Hans lay on the ground and bowed his head to plead guilty, but the expression on William's face instantly stiffened.
From William's point of view, he hopes that the capital will ask Hans to explain who has conspired with him. Of course, even if William has the exact list, he will not attack these people in a short time, but William can use the time to
They took care of these guys.
This group of people was so powerful that even William had to take action against them.
But William did not expect that Hans would directly take everything on his shoulders under his questioning.
And when William looked at Hans with a red face and wanted to kick him, he only heard Hans say:
"Your Majesty, Du Li has nothing to do with this matter. It is all my personal doing!"
After hearing these words, William sneered and said:
"I don't believe that Du Li has nothing to do with this matter!"
"Your Majesty, Du Li really has nothing to do with her. These days, Du Li has been quietly cultivating her body. Du Li doesn't know anything about the outside world!"
Hans mentioned that Du Li was recuperating. William was stunned and then asked:
"What's wrong with Du Li?"
"Your Majesty, Du Li is pregnant, and she is already more than four months pregnant!"
Hearing Hans' words, William felt as if he was struck by lightning. Then he seemed to think of something, but then he overturned this idea.
William first thought about how he could have gotten Du Li pregnant during his long-term military expedition. But then William thought that he had indeed had sex with Du Li when he was in Brandenburg, and the time was about the same.
And since Hans could tell it without hesitation, it seemed that what Du Li was carrying must be his William's child. Otherwise, no matter how bold Hans was, he would not dare to deceive William about this matter.
At this moment, William only felt that his heavy punch seemed to have hit the cotton. Not only did he not get a satisfactory result, but he even felt hurt by the shock.
The shocked look froze on William's face for a moment. He took a few steps back slumped and sat on his throne, his hands constantly pressing his temples.
"Uncle Hans, this news really makes me feel at a loss. Why didn't you tell me this news earlier!"
"Your Majesty, Du Li was originally going to the Austrian Netherlands to find you, but I stopped her. In order not to disturb your military operations on the Western Front, I could hide the news and wait for you to return to Bo.
Landenburg will tell you later!”
William looked at Hans with dull eyes and said:
"Then tell me in detail how you got involved with Anna!"
Hearing William's words, Hans felt secretly happy. Du Li was pregnant with William's child. As long as this condition existed, then even though Anna was killed, considering this, William would not punish the Hans family too much, but
In Hans's opinion, the worst he could do was to risk his own life, but this would give Du Li a chance to rise to the top, which was completely worth it to Hans.
So Hans said:
"Shortly after Du Li became pregnant, Queen Anna gave birth to a little prince for Your Majesty, which made the ministers panic. Moreover, the news of Du Li's pregnancy was not hidden from the Queen Mother Louise, but Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother had no regard for Du Li.
She was completely opposite to Anna. She hinted more than once that Du Li and her subordinates wanted to abort the child Du Li was carrying.
Your Majesty, you should also know what kind of character my daughter Du Li has, so Du Li did not agree to Queen Mother Louise's request at all. I originally thought that this matter was over, but what I didn't expect was that Queen Anna would not
She didn't know where she found out about this, and then she sent a letter to Du Li, sarcastically saying that Du Li was pregnant with a dishonorable illegitimate child.
How could someone as stubborn as Du Li endure such an insult?
As a father, I naturally couldn’t stand it anymore, so I sent people to assassinate the queen!”
After saying that, Hans raised his head and looked at William.
At this time, Hans's gaze seemed a bit aggressive, and even William had to lower his head to avoid Hans' gaze under such gaze.
Hans's words were not entirely true, but Louise did send hints to Hans to abort the child in Du Li's belly.
Louise naturally had her own reasons for doing this. If you know the daughter Anna gave birth to, maybe Louise could tolerate Du Li giving birth to William's child, but Anna gave birth to a son!
There is obviously a clear gap between the two. Prussia is an autocratic monarchy. Like most countries in Europe, Prussia is a patriarchal society. The queen may appear in other countries, but it is absolutely not the case in Prussia.
maybe appear.
Therefore, since Anna gave birth to a boy, the meaning of this boy in Louise's eyes is different. Moreover, even if Du Li is pregnant with William's child, this child is also an illegitimate child. Not only does an illegitimate child have no inheritance rights, but he also has no right to inherit.
It was also a stain on William's reputation.
Considering this, Louise hinted at Hans.
As for Anna's letter, it is indeed true, but Anna's letter to Du Li did not ironically mean that Du Li was pregnant with an illegitimate child. Of course, Anna's letter was not very friendly.
All in all, 60% of Hans's words are true and 40% are false, but it is this kind of words that makes it most difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The expression on William's face changed. Finally, William gritted his teeth and said to Hans:
"Tell your people to stop immediately, otherwise, if nothing happens to Anna, that's all. If something happens to Anna, then you will return to Parets immediately, and you will not be allowed to set foot in Brandenburg from now on!"
William made his decision, and after Hans left the palace, William slumped powerlessly on the throne.
In fact, William has already prepared in his heart for the conflicts that may break out between the girls in the future. He even has plans in his mind for the children that Karina's three girls may give birth to for him in the future. Otherwise, the three girls alone will not be able to survive.
How could it be possible to be named a countess? You must know that their earldom and territory are exactly what William will prepare for his children in the future.
