"What should we do now?" After letting the maid leave, the emperor's office immediately fell into a heated discussion. Because at this time, even a pig knew that there was a conspiracy attacking the royal family and even the country, but everyone
But they don't know where the problem lies.
Immediately, the entire office fell into chaos, because now that the emperor and all the children in the palace were unconscious at the same time, the entire palace was obviously in a leaderless state. At this time, let alone organizing manpower to calm down the imperial guards outside.
, even the interior of the palace cannot maintain a stable state.
In particular, since the old emperor ascended the throne at the age of 16, he has established an image of absolute authority during his more than 40 years of rule and has the ability to tell the truth, so that now there is no one in the palace who can stand up and make the final decision at this critical moment.
The one who made the decision. Therefore, the ministers in the office all gathered together in a panic to discuss, but ten minutes passed and they did not come up with any results.
Just as a group of ministers were excusing each other, the knock on the door came again. The attendant opened the door and was quickly pushed aside, and then a very young-looking officer walked in.
"Prince Eugene, Your Majesty is still in a coma. What are you doing here now?" The ministers who were discussing just now turned their heads and looked at the movement in front of the door, and then recognized the person who broke in.
"You haven't discussed anything here, so I think I have to stand up and do something now." Prince Eugene glanced at his uncle who was being rescued by the spellcasters and doctors and said.
It's not wrong for him to say that. After all, he is now the commander of the new field military division that was dispatched to the capital, and he controls the only army in the capital that is absolutely loyal to the royal family. Not to mention that he was the son of the emperor's younger brother.
He was personally appointed as the division commander by the emperor and fought bravely on the front line. He was recognized both in terms of ability and loyalty.
"Then what are your plans, Your Highness?" Prime Minister Friedrich asked, "Are you going to disperse the troops now to set up defenses in the capital and maintain order in the city?"
"This should indeed be the case under normal circumstances, but now we cannot do this after His Majesty the Emperor is in coma." Prince Eugene, an officer who has experienced actual combat, said. "Obviously, no matter what happened recently to the Guards,
His Majesty the Emperor's coma is all part of a conspiracy, and the reason why the conspirators have made the Emperor comatose now means that they are likely to use this time to do something - "
At this moment, the door was pushed open again. An officer rushed in and said, "No, the people we just sent to the Guards camp to arrest people were the officials and those from the Inquisition. They were either blocked in
You cannot get in outside the military camp, or you will be blocked by the guards in the camp and unable to get out after you capture someone."
"Obviously, the other party has already launched." After hearing the officer's report, Prince Eugene reacted immediately. "Next, they should come up with something that requires an interview with His Majesty the Emperor, and then use the current Emperor to
His Majesty is in coma and cannot meet them as an excuse to launch a riot."
"Then I'll leave it to you." The Prime Minister was the first to calm down from the bad information, and then said decisively. "We civil servants will listen to your command at this time, and the next thing will be
Please make arrangements."
As a prime minister who served for ten years under an emperor like Joseph I who could be regarded as a wise emperor, Court Baron Friedrich was not a person lacking in ability. It can even be said that he belonged to the most capable part of the imperial bureaucracy. Only
However, he had been handling various problems step by step under the command of His Majesty the Emperor, so he seemed a little in a hurry when he encountered such a sudden situation.
Fortunately, after Prince Eugene stepped forward, Prime Minister Frederick immediately recovered from the panic, and then immediately handed over the command to Prince Eugene, the best commander here. With his help, there was immediately a situation inside the palace.
unified command and became more organized.
"While the Imperial Guards are still in their respective barracks and the commotion has not completely spread, officials should first gather all their relatives and affairs officers in the inner city into the palace. I will send a part of the army to assist.
You. But except for food, water and weapons, nothing else is allowed to be brought into the palace."
After taking over the command, Prince Eugene immediately issued orders quickly. In addition to ordering the relevant personnel to shrink towards the palace and start setting up defenses around the palace, he also asked the officials to deploy manpower in the palace and start building some buildings with the army.
Temporary fortifications were prepared to deal with the coming impact.
But what they didn't expect was that their opponents would move faster than they imagined. Just as night fell and before all the retreating personnel could evacuate through the palace gate, the Imperial Guard was finally instigated by the group of aristocratic officers.
After rushing out of the military camp, scattered gunshots and explosions began to ring out in the streets.
Under such a situation, a gorgeously decorated carriage drove quickly along the road in front of the palace towards the gate of the castle where the palace is located. It may be that the surrounding gunfire frightened the passengers in the carriage. The driver of this carriage
After seeing the temporary checkpoint in the square in front of the palace, instead of ordering the carriage to slow down, he whipped the horse in the air to force the horse to run faster.
"Stop the vehicle and get out of the vehicle for inspection, otherwise we will open fire." The soldiers behind the posts piled with sandbags on both sides of the road immediately raised their rifles and aimed at the carriage, and a second lieutenant also raised his iron plate.
The loudspeaker shouted loudly.
According to the previous order of Prince Eugene, those who came to the palace for refuge were only allowed to enter the palace gate with their personal belongings. The carriages were arranged by the military. It is true that some people did not intend to abide by the order, but under the threat of gunpoint, these dignitaries
The nobles finally chose to compromise.
However, the owner of this carriage obviously did not intend to compromise. After hearing the shouts at the sentry post, the carriage did not slow down like other cars, but ran faster after the sound of a whip.
"Fire!" As a modern army, once it enters a wartime state, it will naturally strictly abide by the orders of its superiors. So after the second lieutenant discovered that the carriage did not stop, he immediately ordered his men to shoot at the horse pulling the carriage to stop the horse from moving forward.
But what he didn't expect was that after the driver swung his riding whip, the entire riding whip immediately waved past the horse with a ball of blue light, blocking the most deadly bullets for the horse.
Bullets. In this way, the shots that could have killed the horses only caused a few non-fatal wounds to the horses pulling the cart.
Not only did these wounds not hinder the carriage from moving forward, but they angered the horses pulling the carriage and made the carriage run faster. The second lieutenant could only watch as the carriage smashed through the wooden railings placed in the middle of the road like a strong wind and headed towards
He ran towards the square.
However, just after running more than ten meters, the legs of the horse pulling the carriage fell into the horse trap that had been opened on the stone slabs of the square by several extraordinary warriors with weapons. Because the horses were running fast, the legs of the horses fell into the pit.
On the spot, these people trapped his forearm in a horse pit and broke it off.
The horse with a broken leg swooped forward and fell forward, while the carriage behind him continued to rush forward according to its inertia. In an instant, the straps connecting the carriage and the horse's harness broke, and then the carriage hit the horse.
In the last miserable howl of the horse pulling the carriage, the wheels of the carriage flew off the axle after the collision. Then the entire carriage turned over and slid forward five or six meters before stopping. Just as the soldiers
When he was about to step forward to check the specific situation, the driver suddenly jumped out from the wreckage of the carriage, holding his long whip in his hand.
