After hearing what the eldest prince said, everyone in the audience was stunned for a moment, and then started talking among themselves.
The eldest prince did not stop him. He listened quietly to the discussion for a few seconds. He waved his hand and motioned for a confidant next to him to step forward and ordered: "Read it."
"Yes." The confidant nodded, took out a scroll from his pocket, opened it, and loudly read out a personal name and reward inside.
Many high-ranking officials in the army are naturally on the list. In addition, there are also many people in the rear who have made indirect contributions to the war, and they will all be rewarded.
Among the top military officials, the one who ranks first is naturally Sauron. He has titles, hereditary fiefdoms, money, and servants. The large number and high standards make people jealous.
Next was Richard. Richard heard that he had suddenly become a marquis. His money, mansion, and servants were not less than those of Sauron. He was also given a special garrison area called "Salin" as a reward. Fiefdom - but the difference from Sauron is that the fiefdom is not within the alliance, but in the newly occupied area. It is very large, but it is not hereditary - that is to say, it will be returned to the alliance after death, and descendants have no legal inheritance rights.
The black-faced old man Oscar said from the side: "Actually...the rewards have been changed. The eldest prince should have increased the rewards for his faction and reduced the rewards for the rest. According to my memory, At the beginning, His Majesty wanted to give you the 'Nor' special garrison area as a fiefdom. It is smaller in area, but the land is fertile and stronger than the so-called 'Sarin'."
"Is that so?" Richard responded, not too concerned.
After all, titles and titles are all illusory to him. Calculating money, mansions, and servants, they are incomparable to the wealth he has now. He is not too eager for the fiefdom—he had given up the entire Blue Lion Kingdom. .
Speaking of which, these things are all secondary. They are all extra rewards promised by the Alliance Emperor. What he values more is the materials in the Royal Library.
What's interesting is that everything happening now is exactly the opposite of what the Alliance Emperor said at the time - the additional rewards were cashed in time, but the main reward seems likely to be postponed.
After thinking for a while, Richard looked at Oscar and asked in a controlled voice: "Mr. Oscar, what did that person think about? Why don't you come out even now? How do you calculate the information that I value most? Today But it’s the last day... By the way, are you sure there’s nothing wrong with that person?”
Oscar's expression froze, and then he said seriously: "Don't worry, everything is fine with that guy. All your rewards will be cashed before you spend the night today."
"That's it, that's good." After receiving the assurance, Richard did not continue to inquire further. Although he guessed that Oscar was not sincere, something unexpected happened that disrupted the planned plan, but he was able to get the reward. enough.
And if you can't get it after tonight, that's another story.
Thinking about it, Richard looked ahead again.
At this time, the confidant of the eldest prince Difu had read the list of rewards to the end. After reading out the last name and reward, he put away the scroll.
Many people in the crowd cheered because they got the reward - of course there were also voices of dissatisfaction, those who thought they could have received the reward but did not get it or only got very little reward.
In fact, this is considered a method of the eldest prince Difu.
As Oscar said, the rewards have been modified to focus on rewarding people from the Great Prince faction. Those who have received excessive rewards will naturally understand why and will be grateful to the eldest prince. The disappointed people had no way to vent, because the great princes had already pushed down the dead Alliance Emperor Peter Romanov.
This approach is smarter, but it loses a bit of domineering power.
The eldest prince Difu didn't think there was anything wrong with this. When the list of awards was finished, he glanced at everyone in the audience, cleared his throat and said: "The above is my father's last wish. I know that some people are satisfied, and some people are satisfied. I'm not so satisfied, but after all, I have to respect my father's ideas, so I can only implement it this way.
However, whether you are satisfied or dissatisfied, as long as you continue to work hard to maintain the alliance, your wishes will eventually come true, I guarantee it! "
After saying these powerful words, the eldest prince Difu turned around, walked back to the throne a few meters away, and sat down amidst cheers and ritual music.
The minister of etiquette quickly held the crown and moved it towards the eldest prince's head, and then pressed it firmly.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
After placing the crown, the Minister of Ceremonies knelt down on one knee and saluted.
Everyone in the audience looked at it and lowered their bodies together to salute.
At this moment, the new emperor Difu suddenly frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, and felt warm liquid flowing down his forehead.
When he reached out and touched it, he saw that his hands were covered with bright red blood.
this!
Difu couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then found that his skin was bleeding all over his body, and his gorgeous golden robe was instantly dyed red.
"ah!"
Difu let out a scream, feeling that all the strength in his body was being pulled away, and "Gulu" uncontrollably slid off the throne and fell heavily to the ground.
The crown on his head rolled to the ground, and Difu, who was wrapped in a gorgeous golden robe, shrank quickly and turned into a pool of blood in a few seconds in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, everyone in the audience who wanted to salute stopped their movements, froze their bodies, and widened their eyes.
The sound of ritual music also stopped, and the whole place was deathly quiet. Only breathing and wind could be heard.
Almost everyone's brains were a little sluggish, unable to digest this sudden change of information.
what's the situation? The new emperor died just after he successfully succeeded to the throne
Is this considered... a sudden death
Or was he assassinated
The quiet scene lasted for about ten seconds. The next moment something seemed to be triggered, and the whole place suddenly burst into exclamations.
"Assassin! There is an assassin!" someone shouted.
"The eldest prince... no, His Majesty has passed away!"
"Soldier, where is the soldier?"
"Palace Wizard, wizard come quickly!"
The whole place was in chaos.
Looking at all this, Richard remained basically calm. He blinked and asked Oscar next to him: "Is this his method? It's a bit powerful. Execution of the 'false emperor' in a fair and just way will definitely shock a lot of people." People."
Oscar: "..."
He looked at the pool of blood in front of the throne and was silent for a long time. He didn't say anything and didn't know what to say. He suddenly discovered that things were more complicated and confusing than he had imagined.
This is no longer just as simple as assassinating the emperor and disobeying the throne. It is likely to assassinate many members of the royal family, causing huge chaos, and trying to destroy the entire alliance from within.
This is an unprecedented disaster!
Even though he was as calm as he was, he had no idea at this moment.
