The first thousand and 140 chapters fight for power and profit

Oros Hunting Ground, a royal hunting ground with a long history, is also famous for the birth of a great monarch.

It was here that Harrison was ordered in danger and became the supreme ruler of the country. Under internal and external troubles, he used perseverance and perseverance to wipe out all enemies, and finally won the majestic nickname of "Lion".

Of course, as his place of fame, he liked the Oros hunting ground very much. He even spent a lot of money in his later years to hire the best designers in the whole continent to trim a palace near the cliff. The precious metals and precious stones are as high as hundreds of thousands of gold coins, which is half of the country's annual fiscal revenue.

However, as a regional overlord, he naturally does not need to pay for this money himself, but forces those small countries that submit to him to pay tribute.

Right now, this exquisite and magnificent palace has been completed for three years. The walls are densely covered with vines, and roses blooming on the vines, plus various unnamed birds standing on the branches and chirping. No matter how depressed and depressed you are, you will gradually become cheerful after seeing these things.

But it is a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery at the moment.

Because during the hunting process just a few hours ago, Harrison was hit by a gun shot from a tree. The arrow was obviously smeared with terrible toxin, which caused him to fall into a deep coma of deliriousness within a few minutes.

You must know that with the absolute authority established over the years, the entire country simply cannot find a second candidate who can convince the public in a short period of time and keep the political situation stable.

Whether it's the seemingly high-ranking ministers, the generals who hold the army, or the princes who have high succession rights, they only gained authority with his permission.

But now, he lost the ability to give orders, and the country that seemed to be strong for a while suddenly shrouded in a cloud of chaos and war.

Especially those guys who secretly linked up, sent out the news as soon as possible, so that the prince or princess they supported was ready.

The throne is never something that can be achieved casually.

Whether it is a normal alternation of power or an abnormal alternation of power, it is bound to be accompanied by killing and bloodshed.

The only difference is that the losers of the normal power alternation basically have no room to resist, and can only wait for the fate to come.

In contrast, there are a lot of tricks to play with in the abnormal power alternation. Sometimes the one who wins the final victory is often the one who is the most inconspicuous at the beginning.

"How is it? Is His Majesty's body still able to hold on? How long will it take to wake up?"

Seeing the doctor coming out of the bedroom, the aged prime minister was the first to stand up and grab Fang's arm, asking nervously.

There is no way not to be nervous!

He was Harrison's buddy.

The two have gone through the most difficult period hand in hand, so no matter how turbulent the domestic political situation is, his status of being under one person and above ten thousand people has never changed.

Even the eldest son of the king, who has the first line of succession, maintains a considerable degree of awe.

If Harrison was still alive, this power would naturally bring unimaginable benefits, but if he died suddenly, then this power would disappear in an instant like a mirage.

Not only will it disappear, but it may even bring death.

After all, he has offended too many people over the years, and many of them are powerful princes.

If the old lion is really dying, then he will start to find a prince to cooperate with the current situation before it is completely out of control, so as to ensure that in the next few years or even ten years, he will still be under one person and above ten thousand in the empire prime minister.

As for who Harrison intended to succeed him, it didn't matter at all.

"My lord prime minister, your majesty's situation cannot be objective. The assassin is very insidious, using a kind of alchemy toxin called arc light, which can invade the blood and make the wounded die slowly in an inextricable hallucination. Several spellcasters and I have worked together to temporarily The further spread of the toxin has been prevented, and His Majesty is not in danger of his life for the time being. But again, we cannot predict when he will wake up, or if he will wake up. You'd better prepare for the worst, for us The country chooses a qualified heir."

The doctor didn't try to hide anything, and he didn't dare to hide anything. He just said what he knew.

After finishing these words, he seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, and the whole person became a lot more relaxed.

In contrast, the prime minister seemed to be picking up this burden and carrying it on his back, almost out of breath, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I see, let's go down. Remember, don't ask anyone Anyone can reveal His Majesty's health, even princes and princesses, understand?"

"Understood! Please rest assured."

The doctor bent down and bowed deeply, then turned and disappeared at the end of the heavily guarded corridor.

However, the prime minister probably never expected that not long after he left his sight, he quietly came to the entrance of a room, looked left and right to make sure there was no one there, then gently pushed the door open and went in.

Because there was no light on, the room was pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.

But the doctor didn't panic at all, quickly took out the note he had prepared in advance, stuffed it under the pillow cushion at the head of the bed, and then quickly left the room, pretending nothing happened.

After about a few minutes, a black figure emerged from the cabinet and took the note with extremely skillful movements.

After a while, he took this note to another room through a secret passage, knelt down on one knee and reported in an extremely excited tone: "Your Highness! Your chance has come! I just received the news that His Majesty is dead. I am afraid that there will be no chance of waking up again. At this time, as long as you convince the two generals accompanying you, you will be able to take control of the court first before other competitors react, and coerce the ministers to forge an edict, and it is logical to board the Throne."

"Oh? Are you sure?" A man who seemed to be around 40 years old turned around, his eyes revealed a frightening light.

He is none other than Harrison's fourth son, and also his favorite son, who has always been with him to teach by example.

But for some reason, he never gave a clear signal to the prince, who was very similar in appearance and personality to himself, but let him compete with his other brothers and sisters for power.

"Very sure! I spent a lot of money to buy a doctor who specializes in treating your majesty. And according to the servants' reports, the prime minister has sealed off your majesty's bedroom, and any servant who entered has never come out again." The black shadow raised his head, his eyes revealed strong anticipation, as if he was waiting for his master to make a decision.

The first thousand and 140 second chapters fight for power

No one in the center of power can resist the temptation of power.

Because rights are not only a tool for them to realize their dreams and ambitions, but also the only means to ensure that they can survive.

Especially the few princes who have already started fighting for the throne, have already made up their minds to kill the brothers and sisters who are the most threatening as soon as they seize the throne. Even if they can't do it directly, they must find ways to throw them into danger The place fends for itself.

Political struggle has always been a life-and-death contest, and any affection and family affection will be eclipsed in front of it.

Everyone in it will do whatever it takes to ensure that they can become the final victor, even if they pay the last bit of brilliance in human nature for this.

After Harrison's fourth son repeatedly confirmed that his father had really fallen into a coma, he didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately recruited two generals to launch a coup, and put all important officials, including the prime minister, under house arrest at lightning speed. Get up, and coerce them to forge an enthronement edict, and make themselves the "legal" heir as quickly as possible.

But as the saying goes, he did a full set of plays, and he didn't sit on the throne impatiently. Instead, he returned to the capital under the name of his father with great fanfare. Down.

But unfortunately, he is not the only one who spends a lot of money to buy news.

The other princes and princesses who were determined to compete for the throne were not vegetarians either. They quickly saw through this strategy and directly joined forces to control the city, slandering the former as the culprit that caused the emperor to fall into a coma. The whole thing was a conspiracy. Let the other party enter the city, and also played the banner of suppressing the rebellion, preparing to launch a war to determine who is the real successor.

It has to be said that with the fall of Harrison, the disadvantages of his previous practice of allowing his children to fight for power and profit, and wanting to choose the best successor from them, are vividly reflected at this moment.

To be exact, it is a disaster for the whole country.

All of a sudden, the self-supporting generals and nobles from all over the world couldn't help but began to encourage some marginalization. The princes and princesses who had no intention of participating in the battle for the throne took the initiative to join this feast of power.

And those monarchs who were originally vassals of small countries also saw the opportunity to clean up the ministers who used to monitor themselves in the country, regained their power, and began to wait for the opportunity to devour the borders of this once powerful country.

Perhaps, as a saying goes, when the old lion falls down and the cubs are still vying for their father's hunting grounds, groups of hyenas will wait for the opportunity and unscrupulously seize what they think is the most delicious and most delicious food.
