Chapter 758 Death of Alpha I

"You two betrayed me too!"

After seeing the person clearly, Alpha I angrily shouted in disbelief.

The matter this time was so big that it was reasonable for others to take action against him.

Lord Fulvio is different from Lord Phoenix. They are the founders of the Alpha Kingdom and have a vassal relationship with Alpha I.

"Evil monsters, everyone can find them and kill them!"

Lord Fulvio said disdainfully.

Loyalty, that's just not enough chips for betrayal.

The friendship between monarch and minister has been worn away by the years as early as the past three hundred years.

If Alpha I had always been the founder of the country, then they would still give this monarch enough face, but now he is no longer.

Caesar IV decided to attack him, so he naturally had to make full preparations.

In order to kill Alpha I, Caesar IV chose the conservatives to join forces. This time, he summoned eleven strong men from the Sanctuary to ambush, and also mobilized a large number of troops to cooperate.

"You treacherous ministers and thieves deceive my royal family into having no one..."

Before Alpha I could finish speaking, Madeleine mockingly said: "Evil, you don't have to fantasize.

Marshal Hudson is not here. Guess where he is? "

The life of an emperor for many years was not in vain. Caesar IV could still control the situation by simply arranging a raid.

Alpha I has a special status, and all the powerful men in the royal family are his descendants. Unable to determine the position of these people, we simply kept it secret from them.

In order to ensure nothing went wrong, Caesar IV also invited Hudson over. At this time, he was exchanging training experiences with the powerful people in the royal family.

After getting the exact answer, Alpha I suffered severe injuries in many parts of his body and ran out of gas, with a bitter smile on his face.

The most ruthless emperor's family!

Ruthlessness and decisiveness are the essential qualities of a qualified king.

Alpha I did it himself, and the younger generation he looked down upon also did it at this time.

Caesar IV's decisive killing was taught by him himself. The sad thing is that the first time it was used: it was used on him.

If there had not been any previous changes, with Caesar IV's character, no matter how displeased he was, he would not have thought of killing his ancestors.

"Give this manuscript to Caesar IV, maybe he can use it!"

After speaking, he used his last strength and threw the manuscript to Grand Duke Madeleine, with a trace of calmness in his eyes.

When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

After so much planning and finally ending up in this situation, Alpha I closed his eyes unwillingly.

Everyone looked at each other, and then performed the final blow on Alpha I's body.

The former generation of heroes has now ended up with no bones left, and everyone can't help but show sad expressions.

"Your Highness, our work is done, please tell His Majesty on your behalf!"

Lord Phoenix said in a deep voice.

It is not a glorious thing to take action against one's own lord. If Alpha I hadn't committed regicide to seize the throne and seriously undermined the rules of the political game, they would not have taken action.

If you are forced to take action out of desperation, there is no need to take credit.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will tell your brother the truth!"

After receiving the reply from Grand Duke Madeleine, everyone chose to say goodbye and leave. Everyone tacitly suppressed their curiosity and did not mention the manuscript.

As the winner, Madeleine was shocked when she opened the manuscript and took a look at it.

Inheriting the legacy of the Goddess of Disaster, she is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Aslant continent.

It is still unimaginable that there is actually the "Emperor's Law" in the world, this kind of cultivation method that is almost cheating.

In an instant, she understood why Alpha I would shamelessly jump out and fight for power with his descendants.

If she were Alpha I, if she had such a shortcut in her hand, she would jump on it without hesitation.

It’s a pity that times have changed!

The founding monarch of the country more than three hundred years ago is already a legendary hero to everyone.

If he shuns the world and cultivates in seclusion and does not participate in worldly disputes, everyone will respect him somewhat.

Once you let go of your composure and participate in the game of secular power, it is better to die. The aristocratic group, as vested interests, would not accept a legendary monarch.

In the absence of the participation of the powerful royal family, Caesar IV was able to attract so many powerful people from the holy realm to attack him. The emperor's identity was secondary, and more importantly, Alpha I touched everyone's bottom line.

Regardless of success or failure, the laws of imperialism discovered by Alpha I are priceless treasures for the monarch.

As long as the monarch of a big country is not too poor in understanding, he can almost guarantee the sanctuary. Once this thing escapes, the newly stable continent will soon fall into chaos again.

There are really too few strong people who can practice on their own and break through to the realm of the Holy Realm.

After the shortcut appears, the princes with a little bit of strength will be unable to bear it.

Madeleine became confused for a while whether to give the thing to Caesar IV or not. With the desperate accumulation of resources and the good fortune of the Alpha Empire, Caesar IV might be able to get a glimpse of the Holy Land in his lifetime.

After taking this step, longevity will increase significantly. Caesar IV survived, and all her plans were ruined.

Before this operation, Caesar IV had communicated with her alone, hoping that she could serve as an auxiliary minister and protect his nephew.

She had always been pursuing to take control of the empire and use the resources of the empire to help herself go further.

After hesitating for a while, interests finally prevailed over the thin emotions, and the manuscript in Madeleine's hand turned into ashes.

Deep in her heart, she kept comforting herself that once Caesar IV obtained the method of practicing the imperial law, the empire would inevitably be in constant war and the people would suffer in the future.

…

"My lords, let's stop here today. We will meet again next time!"

Realizing that the war was over, Hudson immediately chose to say goodbye and leave.

There was no retention. He didn't turn against her on the spot, which meant that he was well-mannered.

No one would be in a good mood facing a bad guest who blocked the door. If it weren't for the few strong men in the Holy Domain in the royal family who didn't want to get involved in the internal struggle, they would have had to fight just now.

Of course, the reason why everyone was able to sit down and communicate calmly was mainly because Hudson's record was too impressive.

If they really fought, people might die. After finally cultivating to the Saint Realm, everyone will not easily put themselves in danger.

"Little Caesar is really cruel, his methods are almost catching up with his father!"

Venerable Tailun couldn't help but complain.

Decisive killing has always been the hallmark of Caesar III. Being able to turn the tide in a dangerous situation must involve killing, and it must be legal killing!

What Caesar IV is doing now is imitating his father Caesar III, but the target is different.

Evidence is not needed. There is no one else in the empire who can bring Hudson to block the door except the emperor.

"The main reason is that he is too hard. He is almost dead after being tossed around, and even people with good tempers will explode.

Killing the evil demon is just the beginning of an era.

In the days to come, it is inevitable to continue to toss. It's all the world of young people, and there is no need for us old bones to get involved!"

Robert briefly explained the facts, and the people's original intention to find trouble with Caesar IV disappeared without a trace.

It is not in line with their status to care about a dying junior. As for Alpha I's matter, now that the matter is done, there is no point in saying anything.

It is better to make the best of a bad situation and put the blame on the evil demon, so that all parties can have an explanation.

After this episode, not only did the relationship between the conservatives and the royal family ease, but the dispute between the military merit faction and the conservative faction also came to a temporary end, and the shadow hanging over the imperial city was finally dispelled.

From the perspective of the empire, the death of Alpha I has very important strategic significance, easing the contradictions between the major forces within the empire.

The only big loser is the royal family!

In terms of high-end power, a second-level strongman of the Holy Domain was lost, and in terms of politics, there was no successor.

It was okay when Caesar IV was alive, but once the new emperor ascended the throne, it was inevitable that the imperial power would fall into the hands of others.

After all, the regent ministers acting on behalf of the imperial power are not as good as the emperor himself. If you want your son to succeed smoothly, you must rely on the art of balancing power.

After what happened to Alpha I, Caesar IV has realized that the royal family may not be reliable, and now he dare not trust anyone completely.

…

The Council Hall.

After listening to Grand Duke Madeleine's description, everyone smiled with joy. The biggest cancer of the empire has finally been eradicated.

Next, it's time to sit in a row and share the fruits.

Although Alpha I did not leave any benefits, he still has a group of unlucky followers. It is impossible to get away with it if you catch up with the regicide case.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of members of the cult we collected. The last step is to confirm and arrest them.

Please take a look!"

Chancellor Beckett took the opportunity to put his hat on.

These unlucky guys have no backing in the court. They are neither in the emperor's camp, nor in the conservative aristocratic camp, nor in the military aristocratic camp.

Since Alpha I was identified as an evil demon, his followers were automatically classified as a cult organization.

"You can do whatever you want!"

Caesar IV said weakly.

After the curse was removed that day, his life was saved, but his body collapsed.

After holding on to his breath and planning to get rid of Alpha I, Caesar IV's heart was relieved and his thoughts were gone.

Now the only thing he wanted to do was to help his son take the throne as soon as possible. Caesar IV could no longer take care of other trivial matters.

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health, the court can't do without you!"

Chancellor Beckett reminded tactfully.

In order to get rid of Alpha I, they had a secret agreement before, and now it's time to fulfill their promise.

"Don't worry, I won't die for a while.

It's just that the court is busy with government affairs, and in my current state, I am not suitable to preside over the government.

For the normal operation of the empire, I decided to set up five regents to handle the affairs of the court on my behalf!"

As soon as Caesar IV finished speaking, Prime Minister Beckett's face turned black on the spot.

According to the tradition of the Alpha people, there is usually only one regent. No one expected that Caesar IV would be so unethical as to have five at once.

The five-member group jointly handles government affairs, and the power they have is not as great as that of the prime minister.

He was about to speak out against it, but swallowed it back. As a prime minister, he plotted against a single regent, and his ambition to monopolize power was immediately exposed.

In political struggles, many things can only be done quietly, but they must never be spoken out loud.

Caesar IV is dying soon, and the more times like this, the more cautious he must be.

Exposing too much ambition will be considered a threat to his son's rule, and it is highly likely that he will drag someone down with him before he dies.

"Grand Duke Hudson, Grand Duke Efiero, Grand Duke Newfoundland, Duke Beckett, and Grand Duke Madeleine are all respected people.

I hope that the five of you can handle state affairs on my behalf while I am recovering from my illness. If I unfortunately die of illness, I will ask the five of you to assist the prince to ascend to the throne... cough cough..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a cough. The queen on the side hurriedly reached out and patted Caesar IV on the back.

Seeing this scene, Hudson frowned. Caesar IV's health is worse than expected.

"Your Majesty, rest assured and recuperate. The affairs of the court will be taken care of by the ministers.

The Queen should be involved in the administration of the country. I have been in seclusion for many years, so I will not take the position of assistant minister."

Hudson's words directly reversed two levels.

The first sentence made everyone think that the marshal was going to take charge of the court; the second sentence made everyone feel relieved.

Hudson is not alone now. There is a huge camp of military nobles behind him. Once entering the court, this loose group from the central to the local will quickly transform into the largest political faction in the empire.

"It is my fault to disturb the marshal's hard work. However, my body is seriously deficient. I am afraid that I don't have much time. The little prince still needs the marshal to take care of him.

Queen, you are very lucky to have trouble with the affairs of the court. If someone is tyrannical and threatens the safety of the imperial power, you can ask the marshal for help!"

In order to pave the way for his son, Caesar IV also tried his best. This performance obviously set Hudson up, leaving him no room for refusal.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured!

There are all wise and capable officials in the court, who will definitely assist the little prince.

If someone usurps the throne and plots rebellion, my sword is still sharp enough to kill the traitors!"

Hudson immediately expressed his position.

Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, generally speaking, the two generations of monarchs from Caesar III to Caesar IV treated him well.

It is his duty as a vassal to ensure the normal succession of imperial power. If someone really shits on the head of the new emperor, it is also a slap in his face.

Let alone usurping the throne and plotting rebellion, everyone can punish them.

The lyrical part is over, and the next step is naked political struggle. Even if everyone sympathizes with Caesar IV's experience, they will not be soft-hearted when it is time to take action.

"Your Majesty, the position of assistant minister is of great importance and must be handled with caution.

Prince Efiero and Grand Duke Newfoundland had close contacts with the evil demons before, and their sons also followed the evil demons to practice. Before the suspicion is eliminated, it is not appropriate to entrust them with important tasks!

Although Grand Duke Madeleine is of noble birth, she is still a woman and lacks experience in handling government affairs.

Rashly granting a high position may cause criticism!"

Marquis Tariq, Minister of Agriculture, took the lead in speaking out.

The emergence of the five assistant ministers has greatly weakened the voice of the conservative camp. Even if the six ministers can tolerate it, the younger brothers below will not agree.

Not only did Hudson withdraw himself, but he also introduced the queen to govern the country. This is a tradition on the mainland, and it is definitely impossible to criticize.

The prime minister is their own person, so there is no need to toss.

The remaining three are thorns in their eyes. As soon as this move was made, it hit the core.

Everyone present knew that Alpha I was not an evil demon. It is not surprising that the Grand Duke of Efiero and the Grand Duke of Newfoundland, as descendants of the younger generation, are close to their ancestors.

In addition to them, many royal children have had contact with Alpha I. Including several powerful saints in the royal family, they have received guidance from Alpha I.

But in politics, Alpha I was accused of being a demon, and was charged with the serious crimes of regicide and assassination of important ministers, and they also passively became suspects.

The conservative camp insisted on this, and Caesar IV could not appoint the two to important positions, otherwise he would not be able to quell the criticism from the court and the public.

In contrast, the qualifications and experience of Grand Duke Madeleine are relatively easy to solve.

If there is a lack, then find a way to make up for it.

Caesar IV is not dead yet. It is impossible to appoint her as an assistant minister now. It is likely that she will be able to pass the will before his death.

However, in this way, Caesar IV's checks and balances strategy will not work.

Without the participation of the two respected Grand Dukes in the royal family, it was obviously beyond the power of the Queen and Grand Duke Madeleine to compete with a group of old foxes in politics.

The eyes of help swept around the court, and no one spoke up to refute.

Including the parties involved, they did not dare to jump out to confront at this time. No one knew how much evidence the conservative camp had in their hands. This kind of major case, as long as there was a little involvement, it could cost lives.

"I'm tired, let's stop here today!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Caesar IV decisively chose to terminate the meeting.

Even if he knew in advance that it would not go smoothly, the strength of the conservative camp still made him helpless.

Hudson, one of the five assistants, gave up, which was within his expectations. After finally jumping out of the storm vortex, he would definitely not jump in again.

The other four people were rejected by three at a time, which was much more than expected. Caesar IV thought that it was his own sister who was rejected, and he was ready to compromise.

Unexpectedly, the most promising Grand Duke of Efiero and Grand Duke of Newfoundland were eliminated first. Caesar IV didn't know who to push for the position in a short time.

The conservative camp must not be arranged. The spiritual leaders of the military merit aristocracy group and the emerging aristocracy camp are both Hudson.

Looking down, no one is convinced by anyone. No matter who is supported to take the position, it is impossible to integrate the camp behind them and compete with the conservative camp in the court.

Other political factions in the country are too weak. It is not feasible to expect them to come out to check and balance the conservative camp.
