I am the emperor of Mengwang

Chapter 289 The Eve of the Civil War

Daxia Kingdom capital

In the main hall

In the center of the hall stands a magnificent and glorious throne.

On both sides of the throne were ministers with titles and military generals.

At the front of the hall are several elderly elders, whose bearing and status are unmatched by ordinary people.

These people are all bigwigs in this country who have been conferred the titles of duke and marquis, and they are also staunch supporters of the king.

Sitting on the throne is an old man with white hair who is full of kingly aura but also has some signs of old age.

This person is none other than the King of Daxia: Cassius Mir

"Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible. After all, there is no time to lose now."

I saw an elderly man who seemed a little older than the elderly people standing in the front, speaking with a very solemn expression to Cassius Mir, who was sitting on the throne, although he had white hair but was full of kingly aura.

After he finished speaking, the nobles in the front row who were obviously powerful nodded one after another.

"Yes! The current situation is no longer a time for you to make a choice. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

The person who spoke was an obviously elderly woman standing next to the king, but her beauty in her youth could still be seen between her eyebrows.

This person is none other than the queen of the Daxia Kingdom.

At this time, the ministers who were listening to the words of the nobles and the queen were all a little confused.

"No, what are you talking about!"

"do you know?"

"You don't know, how do you think I would know?"

"I don't know either!"

"Could it be that we are not on the same channel as them? No way."

"This is the main hall, that's right! Why can't I understand a word you say?"

"Yes, yes!"

"+1"

"........."

"........."

“+!”

However, the elderly man who looked to be in his fifties and standing at the head of the civil servants remained silent and only glanced at the many civil servants who were discussing the matter.

You idiots, why don't you think about why we don't know? It's obvious that the king and those nobles don't want us to know about this!

He has no political awareness at all. No wonder he can only be a civil servant his whole life.

"Oh, indeed, I really couldn't imagine that the second brother would collude with the Kingdom of Falmius! I thought... Oh!"

At this time, Cassius Mir, who was sitting on the throne, sighed. He thought it was just an ordinary rebellion, but now it is not the case.

"What do you mean?"

“I am getting more and more confused!”

"Could it be because of the Second Prince?"

"Could it be that the Second Prince is planning to..."

"Just shut up! Can you say that?"

…………

Looking at the civil officials and military generals who were talking in a lively manner, Cassius Mir, who was sitting on the throne, waved to the great nobles.

"Tell them what happened! There's no point in hiding it now."

"I originally wanted to solve it secretly, but now it's no longer possible."

"If I had known this would happen, I should have solved it earlier."

At the end, the face of the aging king was full of regret.

Following the king's signal, one of the marquises made a gesture of silence to the civil officials and military generals below.

Afterwards, with the Marquis's explanation, everyone understood the whole story.

After hearing this, all the ministers were furious.

"What? The Second Prince is really planning a rebellion."

"Did you read the script?"

"Go away! Is this important?"

"Colluding with the Kingdom of Falmes, treason... No, the Second Prince is... Alas"

"It seems that His Royal Highness the Second Prince came prepared this time!"

"Alas, these are troubled times!"

…………

Looking at the court officials who were talking about this, the king didn't say anything for a while.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?"

At this time, a middle-aged man who looked very rational came forward and asked Cassius Mill.

"Ask! I will tell you everything."

Cassius Mir sighed, but did not refuse the visitor's question.

"I want to ask, how many soldiers does the Second Prince have?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and asked this key question. Indeed, the number of soldiers in the hands of the second prince depended on their chances of winning.

Part of it also depends on their position.

After hearing this man's question, the ministers who were discussing a moment ago immediately fell silent.

There's no way, they are also curious about this question.

After all, no one wants to die.

Cassius Mir took a deep look at the minister who asked this question. It was obvious that he also saw through what these people were thinking, but this was the reality.

"The Kingdom of Falmi has provided this evil son with 40,000 troops, and the border nobles and he have nearly 50,000 troops under his command."

Although Cassius Mir was very unhappy inside, he still spoke out honestly. After all, the biggest taboo on the battlefield is inconsistent intelligence.

The ministers' faces changed when they heard about the 40,000-strong army. But when they heard that the second prince and those border nobles had gathered an army of 50,000, they became even more panicked.

"That's a total of 90,000 troops! It's over, it's over!"

"How can we fight this? You know, the capital only has 30,000 troops now, which is twice as much. We are finished!"

"That's right, what should I do?"

"What on earth did the Second Prince use to get the Kingdom of Falmi to support him with a full 40,000 troops?"

"Does this matter now? What matters is that we are done."

"Why don't you pack up and run away!"

"Shut up, is your majesty still here?"

"Yeah!"

…………

Looking at the noisy crowd, some people who obviously saw something just stood there silently without saying anything.

Cassius, who was sitting on the throne at this time, just watched this scene coldly, as if he wanted to remember the faces of these people so that it would be easier for him to settle the accounts later.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance. You can leave now. I won't stop you. But you have to understand that once you step out of the gate of the palace today, it means that you will no longer have any connection with the Daksia Kingdom."

Cassius Mir said coldly that in his opinion, this rebellion was just an opportunity to purge the government and the country. As for his second son, he had plenty of ways to deal with him.

After listening to what Cassius Mir said, some ministers looked at each other, and then knelt directly in front of Cassius.

"I'm sorry, King. I still have family after all."

"Wang, I'm sorry."

"Feel sorry……"

…………

After finishing speaking, many ministers left the palace.
