On March 10, 2102, when the citizens of the empire turned on the radio, television, connected to the Internet, or picked up a newspaper, almost everyone was stunned by a certain piece of news.
Starting from Tiandu and circling the earth, different counties are in different time zones, but the position of the sun will not affect the efficiency of people getting the news.
People sitting on the subway with breakfast, people immersed in work, people enjoying an afternoon break, people on their way back after a busy day, people lying on their backs watching TV... No matter what you are doing, even if it is... Sitting in a toilet stall or sleeping soundly in bed, your friends or relatives will rush over immediately and pull you to a display screen to let you watch this shocking news.
The seventh prince, Krauser Wittstock, is about to succeed his father and ascend to the throne.
Wittstock V is likely to be the first emperor to "retire" alive in the century since the empire was founded.
According to incomplete statistics, the abnormal mortality rate in the emperor's industry is close to 50%. What's more, the empire is a regime with insurmountable social classes and a strong authoritarian flavor. The replacement of imperial power should be accompanied by the death of many people. That's right. And the first one to die is probably the emperor himself.
But what is unexpected is that at such an age as King Wickstock V, he actually made the decision to abdicate. Although it was said that he was "internally abdicating" to his son, it also caused a lot of speculation among the people.
Judging from the past thousands of years of human history. Became the supreme emperor. There are also many who cannot help themselves, either because they are too old, or forced by their sons, or because of internal and external troubles. It's hard to find an emperor who is willing to put young people on horses and send them off at an age when Alzheimer's disease is unlikely to occur.
Of course, outsiders will never know the true inside story, whether in ancient times when information was limited, or in a future where personal independence is difficult to guarantee. History is always a distorted thing. The same historical event may have two completely different appearances in the textbooks of different countries or regions, and the same historical figure may look completely different in the writings of two different historians. Debates among historians have never stopped. Their basis is based on the records left by historians like them in the past. Even two different passages in the same book can become two completely opposite views. What's more, there is still such a profession as academic liar in this world. Therefore, I am afraid that these conceptual conflicts will continue forever, and will not stop until humans invent some kind of machine that can see the truth across time. Of course, there will definitely be a group of people who question this machine. What we arrived at was a scene from a parallel universe, and the timeline may not be unique.
Let me say, just look at history as a Bible shared by all mankind. It can neither be completely proved nor completely denied, as long as it can teach people to reflect.
The right and wrong are recorded in the scrolls, and good and evil are discernible.
… …
March 11, 3:30 in the morning, Tiandu.
Most people should be in a deep sleep at this time. An hour early, there are still people who haven't slept yet, and an hour late, someone may have already gotten up to walk their dogs. This hour is undoubtedly the quietest and darkest hour.
But this night, almost no one fell asleep. Because in five hours, the enthronement ceremony of His Highness the Seventh Prince will begin.
This unprecedented ceremony will be broadcast live all over the world, and only at this moment can civilians get a glimpse of the scene inside the high walls of the palace.
None of the nobles and royal families in Tiandu slept peacefully, and they all knew it. After today, the empire will surely undergo drastic changes. No one knows what the future destiny will be.
The powerful ministers who stood on the side of the other five princes were even more frightened and could not sleep at night. They also understood that at this point, it would be too late to turn the rudder over to His Highness the Seventh Prince.
It only took Krauser less than a year to go from an HL agent who had never been involved in politics to the number one person who now controls the affairs of the government. Those powerful and arrogant party leader families have been dismantled by it, even forces like the Kress family are no exception.
Speaking of which, the Kress family is indeed indispensable for Krauser's success.
First, in November, the fat young man of the Kress family who served as a colonel in HL was inexplicably killed by a waiter in the corridor of HL headquarters. However, afterwards, it turned out that the deceased was held hostage for revenge, and the murder attempt failed. crime. As for the Kress family, because of the various slanders against the Tokishi behind the Hell Island incident, they immediately lost any room for argument.
Who would have thought that the person who secretly incited and instructed them to do this was the Tea Fairy agent who was recovering from his injuries in Tiandu. This strategy is so insidious that the Krays can only swallow the bitter water in their bellies, because no one will believe it even if they spit it out.
Later, in the face of the angry and crazy counterattack of the Kress family, His Royal Highness seemed to be able to do it with ease and take advantage of every situation. Finally, he found Seltzer Iron, the Kress family's former staff member, from nowhere and asked him to accuse the family. all kinds of evil deeds. This person happened to be an ability user registered with the EAs, so it was impossible for him to be impersonated by someone else, so his confession was 100% reliable. Not long after, the large Kress family, a group of powerful people who regarded law and justice as nothing, were actually executed by a formal and legal procedure.
Not just in Tiandu, but in every corner of the world, even in areas occupied by rebel organizations, people applauded this incident.
Before that, everyone, including the emperor, believed that there was no court in the empire that could try people like Kress. But Krauser did it. He taught the powerful officials in the court a lesson: Don't fight with the prince, especially when the prince's IQ is above 160 and he is by no means a good man or woman.
After that, the game between Krauser and his brothers became increasingly fierce. He had already sent out signals through his previous actions, whether they were bright or dark, yang or yin, legal or illegal. Stay with me to the end, not only to have fun, but also to win while playing.
As time went by, he began to gain the upper hand, and many prominent figures in the court came under his wings. One disappeared and another grew, and Krause was at the height of his power. By the beginning of 2102, His Highness the Seventh Prince no longer had to hold the Emperor hostage, but could also command the princes.
Now, the time is finally ripe to take the supreme power directly into your hands.
Of course, not all high-level officials in the empire are mediocre. A very small number of people are still aware of it... Behind all of this, there is the support of one person. His acquiescence and cooperation are indispensable for Krause's success. This crucial figure is the emperor himself.
