Public trial?You deserve it too!

Augustus had the expected expression.

"So, Father, you told Leichter not to interfere with my plan, just to let me play at will and give you an excuse to catch all the nobles, right?"

"Yes, at the same time, I also want to save Recht's life. After all, he is completely different from you. He is very loyal and capable."

The emperor said coldly.

"Unfortunately, I couldn't keep Mr. Leicht alive—he was too stubborn, he tore open his wound last night, and refused to accept any treatment from me."

Augustus lowered his head, he didn't even dare to look at Leicht for the last time, but let his guards restrain the other's body.

The emperor didn't show any expression. With Leicht's temperament, even if he didn't know what Augustus was going to do, after what happened today, he would only try his best to save him, and then commit suicide in front of him—— He will kill himself.

The emperor also just wanted to give the other party a chance to prove his innocence in front of the world. After all, people's words are terrifying. He knew that what Leichter wanted was not how long to live.

But obviously, there is no such opportunity.

"In fact, I have known for a long time that this rebellion has no possible victory, but I still want to do it-because if I don't do this, I will never have the opportunity to know the truth of the year. I must create the current situation, This is what I have wanted to do the most over the years.”

Augustus stared at his father.

"Father, why did mother die on that day?"

The emperor's pupils suddenly constricted.

This question was beyond his expectation.

Because he never took the initiative to cover up the truth back then, this was the back door he deliberately left for Augustus.

After all, he had promised the nobles not to tell Augustus the truth, and the emperor would never break his promise as long as the other party was still alive and had not betrayed the empire—but if Augustus found out by himself , that's another matter.

But now, Augustus actually used his last chance to ask questions in his life to ask such a question, which meant that he hadn't found out the truth about his mother's death from the beginning to the end.

"I see."

The emperor murmured, he looked at Morbihan, who was bowing his head, as if he was desperately trying to make himself invisible-this is the reason why the other party asked for the promise, this is the reason why the other party promised to be loyal to Augustus All the reasons around -

They are sure and confident, completely covering up the truth of the past, distorting this guilt, and then let Augustus live to this day with boundless hatred for himself.

Learn from me: Chapter 226 Chapter 210 The truth is the sharp knife

All the emperor's doubts were easily resolved before Augustus's resentful question.

Why Augustus will be confused by the great nobles.

Why does Augustus cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce.

Why Augustus would rather raise his sword against him than be his own "good son".

In the final analysis, like his mother, he can only see what others want to show him, and always thinks that only by choosing the most extreme means can he end all this.

The woman felt that it was her own status that made it difficult for the emperor, so she decided to die, so that the source of the dispute between the royal family and the nobles disappeared, just to keep Augustus alive.

Augustus felt that he had to know the truth of the year, so he tied up all the nobles on his chariot, and let the emperor do what he had always wanted to do—sweep the nobles into the trash.In exchange, he wanted the emperor to tell him what happened that year.

"You already knew that this rebellion of yours would come to nothing, didn't you?"

The emperor asked in a low voice.

"If you can't even notice such rough preparations, then wouldn't my performance in front of you for so many years be a joke?"

Augustus said impatiently.

"I have no chance, whether it is the throne or anything, so there is nothing to worry about. If you follow Leicht's plan, you actually lack a legitimate excuse. Smuggling is not as legitimate as rebellion after all. —You want to set it up once and for all, not drag it down, right?"

"So I prepared this excuse for you, isn't it perfect? ​​These great nobles brought themselves and their most elite knights. They will die here, and then their fiefs will become a mess. You can Eat this fat meat easily."

The man violently pulled Morbihan, whose face was full of disbelief, and forced him to hold his head up for the emperor to see, just like a butcher showing a customer the appearance of a pig he selected.

"I have to do something to get something from you—always do, don't I?"

The emperor looked at Augustus and nodded slowly.

"Okay, let me tell you the truth back then."

Morbiang's eyes were about to burst, but Augustus stabbed the hilt into the opponent's mouth, then twisted it around fiercely, blocking the opponent's throat with blood and broken teeth.

The eldest prince stared at the emperor, everything he wanted was finally unfolding in front of him.

"Your mother committed suicide because the aristocrats jointly signed the petition, hoping that the late emperor would ask me to divorce her and marry a noble girl. She thought that I could not bear this order—in this case, although she could survive, but You in her womb will definitely be killed silently because of blood problems."

The old emperor paused, took a deep breath, and then continued.

"So on the day she gave birth to you, she committed suicide—because in her opinion, only in this way can you survive."

Augustus froze.

"You should know everything after this. Your mother died, and I was forced to marry a queen of noble blood. You are still the eldest prince. In exchange, I will not be able to tell you the truth about your mother's death. And they are willing to entrust their loyalty to you under the curtain of such lies."

The emperor looked at Augustus, his voice was very flat, but the man stood there dumbfounded, staring straight at the emperor.

There was a blank in Augustus' mind

He leaned on the ground with his sword, barely supporting himself to stand, but he couldn't think anymore.

At this point, it is unnecessary and impossible for the emperor to lie to him.

Because he is the emperor.

He can hide, he can cover up, but he will never lie.

"I don't know what kind of story you know, or who told you that story—that's the truth you're after, the truth of everything."

"Your mother is my favorite woman, and you are also my favorite son."

The emperor went on talking on his own, which was very unusual, because he never said such words.

"So I gave you my most valued courtiers to be your teachers and advisors, and I gave you my most trusted officers to be your minions and sharp blades. As long as you trust them and use rational judgment, the great nobles will be more powerful than you." When it is in your hands, it is when you become the crown prince."

"But you, what have you done!!!"

What have I done.

Augustus listened to this sentence in a daze, and then subconsciously began to ask himself.

what did i do...

I believed the stories made up by the man who killed my mother, and hated my father.

I doubted the team my father gave me, and I was planning to build a stinking power on my own.

What have I done all these years?

I did nothing but make myself a shocking joke.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Suddenly he struck at Morbihan in a frenzy.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

Blood spattered all over the machete's head and face, Morbihan couldn't even see a human figure when he cut it, and the blade in his hand bounced off the ground because of loss of strength.

The emperor didn't speak, he just closed his eyes.

If, a few years ago, he could see the other party doing such a behavior, how good it would be...

Augustus sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the lump of meat in front of him, as if he had lost consciousness.

"Order the rebels to disarm and surrender, and those who escape and resist will be killed without mercy."

the emperor ordered.

The guard knights and mages immediately began to advance with orders, but the emperor's side was still tightly protected.

After a long time, Augustus stood up again.

"So, father, I am not your stain?"

"Never."

"General Barr and Mr. Leicht are both yours?"

"They are all loyal to me, but apart from that, there is no act of reporting in private. They are the tools I prepared for you to deal with nobles."

"Where is the Secret Disk of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau that you planted in my mansion?"

"They're just protecting you. After Joachim did something like that, I ordered an increase in the placement density, and it's the same with Ludwig."

Augustus nodded, everything became clear. Everything his father did for him was under his own filter, and he thought it was the other party's restraint and distrust of him, and the nobles and Theocracy were exactly Because I knew that there would be such a result, I would cooperate with myself unscrupulously, until today's situation.

"Your Majesty, all the business accounts are on Gutenberg's side. He has detailed smuggling information. I have sorted out other information. It is about the depth of collusion between the merchant alliance and the nobles, as well as the port and the smuggling caravan. .”

The man seemed to be reporting his grades.

"In addition, the Theocracy once sent people to cooperate with me. The previous trade with the merchant alliance was also formed by the other party. The other party did not directly participate in the rebellion. It is suspected that the nobles are so united and bold, and their demagogues should be indispensable. and challenge."

The emperor nodded slightly, he had already guessed.

"I have a list of all the knights sent by the nobles. Your Majesty can send someone to arrest them according to the list. Gutenberg is not a secret disk, and Leicht has never participated in any of my plans, and General Barr has no knowledge of it. "

Augustus hesitated.

"I have restrained Teacher Leicht's body. I used the coffin I prepared for myself. I hope you can help me bury him—don't use the stigma of my teacher. Please give him a positive Please call me."

The emperor nodded in agreement.

"Then, let's stop here for the last time, Your Majesty."

Augustus knelt in front of the emperor on one knee, and took out the small glass bottle he had prepared with one hand.

The emperor didn't say a word, neither scolded nor stopped.

"...my mother, is it really the woman you love the most? Until today?"

"Yes, she is the woman I love most in my life—to this day."

The emperor's voice sounded hoarse.

Augustus nodded and put the bottle into his mouth.

-------------------------------------------------- ---

"Has the rebellion been quelled?"

Claude stared blankly at the officer wearing the armor of the Third Guard Knights.

"Yes, the leader of the rebel army, Augustus has surrendered to His Majesty before the battle, and all the knights under his command have also laid down their weapons. Now we are counting the losses and chasing the fleeing noble army."

The officer nodded.

"Great! It seems that I came at the right time!"

Claude looked confident.

"My Ninth Knights have already blocked many passages in the upper city. The mobile troops are patrolling and guarding, and they will definitely be able to block those rats!"

"Then it will be troublesome. My people are gradually pushing forward, and I look forward to the moment when I formally join forces with your ministry!"

The officer saluted Claude and continued to advance outside with the people.

"Dothan, you also take people to spread and search to suppress the living space of the rebels." Claude ordered, "Your Majesty is fine, there is no need to lead troops there, I will go to see His Majesty in person, the current situation You are still nervous, you have to be careful not to let any of the rebels slip through the net."

"Yes!"

Dothan immediately directed the following knights to expand to the two wings.

Claude continued to walk to the place where the emperor was with dozens of soldiers.

[Why does it feel a little too smooth? 】

'What a coincidence, I feel the same way. '

Claude didn't have any expression on his face.

[According to what the other party said before, Augustus surrendered rather than being executed, so the other party has survived, and the entire rebellion was basically without any danger, which means that the Theocracy did not intervene in this coup at all ? 】

'It is true, but this is even more troublesome. I originally thought that the opponent would do some manipulations, and I wanted to try to see if I could catch a little trace, and at least push something backwards. In this way, my plan has been All come to naught. '

Claude continued to ride forward.

'Let's see what's going on first...It's a bit too strange to be so anticlimactic. '

With this in mind, after getting permission from the emperor to see him, Claude was stunned when he saw the scene here again.
