Chapter 161

On the summer festival day of 960, the capital of the Loran empire was in chaos. The eldest prince, Arvin Augustine, was transformed into the Imperial City, and more than ten thousand rebels surrounded the palace. Second prince Chen Augustine, with the help of the temple, led the forest army and the remnant of the public security department to fight. Apart from the scuffle, Prince Chen stood under the palace gate and showed the weapon longchinus. Thousands of knights knelt under the Imperial City regardless of the enemy or ourselves. The rebels' morale disintegrated.

The prince called out: "I am defeated. It's not because of the war. It's not my destiny." He also pointed to Prince Chen and said, "I'd like to ask the flag to be buried and die!"

At the end of the speech, he took out his sword and committed suicide immediately. His subordinates mourned, dozens of people died for their own sake, and the rest of them fell.

In addition, the rest of the rebel groups, including the Marquis of the Solomon nationality and the Earl of Raymond of the Rowling nationality, were captured and the rest were captured. The army of Qinwang suppressed the rebels, and the chief of the army was more than 4000, and the captured army was more than 6000.

The prince of the chronicles of the Empire, however, showed a satisfied smile on his face. Then he recruited an imperial bodyguard and handed over the white cloth.

"Spread it all over the Department."

Du Wei looked at the prince Chen and said with a smile, "should I call you your majesty now? Or your highness? "

"Your Highness." Prince Chen looked at Du Wei: "I am the Regent, not the emperor. That can't be confused. "

As soon as the news of the Regent's initial establishment was passed down with Augustine VI's personal order, the various departments in the imperial capital. There was not much surprise at the news. This coup. There is no doubt that the old emperor's old attitude, the prince died of defeat. Chen Prince is superior, originally is in everybody heart matter of course. The only slight surprise is that the old emperor did not give up his throne immediately, and Prince Chen did not ask to succeed immediately, but became a regent.

Prince Chen acted decisively, and immediately dispatched a thousand people of the imperial guards to guard the old emperor's palace. The original subordinates of the imperial guards were also changed beyond recognition under his intentional arrangement.

Because the imperial army lost 3000 people in the coup, Prince Chen added 5000 people from the guard army of the imperial public security department and transferred them into the imperial army.

Later, the Regent's orders were handed down in flowing water.

Marquis Solomon cut off his title, and all the Royal businesses under his name were cut off. He took back his territory and removed the family's private army on the spot.

General Juncker (who died in the war) was stripped of his Baroness and was buried as a civilian.

The rest of the nobles and officials who took part in the coup were all put in the prison of the imperial Inspectorate for trial. At the same time, three thousand garrison troops were deployed to supervise the residence of the prisoners and were not allowed to enter or leave.

Soldiers and warriors who participated in the mutiny were dismissed from their military posts on the spot, and those who died were buried in the ceremony of civilians. The living are being held for trial.

To everyone's relief, the prince Chen, the new regent, seems to have no intention of killing for the time being. Among all the orders, the one in custody didn't order to kill a person. Even the dead general Juncker, who was a rebel leader, was just relieved of his title and buried as a civilian

This has been extremely tolerant. Imagine the imperial coup in the history of the Empire. In every coup, the winner would wave a butcher's knife and kill all the losers. The scene of the emperor's bloody capital is vivid in my mind!

Like Prince Chen, it's a rare kindness to only shut down and not kill. But we still don't know what the winner's intention is now. Except for a few nobles who are in a hurry to shoot the horses, they write a letter and propose to punish the rebels severely. As a result, they are all ignored by Prince Chen. Only then can we understand that they have patted the horses on the legs.

Three days later, the magic array of the imperial capital had already been eliminated. Prince Chen mobilized two divisions loyal to the royal family into the city from the Acropolis around the imperial capital and controlled the city defense. The number of the rebels of the second division of the Acropolis had been cancelled, and thousands of rebel prisoners were held in the camp outside the city.

Chen Prince again issued a series of orders, but this time it is a reward. After all, the coup was like a bandit conference.

After that, it's time for the winner to share the spoils.

To everyone's surprise, the name of Du Wei, the eldest son of the Rowling family, is at the top of this award!

Dewey, given the surname "Rudolph" (it is said to be the surname of a knight in the Knights of Saint Laurent around Aragon in history.), He was awarded the title of Duke, Royal magic consultant, Royal University, Royal astrologer and Prince's magic tutor.

What makes all the rich and noble families stare most is that the title of "Duke" obtained by Dewey was clearly written in the order of the Regent

Hereditary!!!

This news almost immediately blew a gust of wind in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital!

On that day, when the prince was in the coup, many people heard Dewey's promise to be a duke. But we all naturally think that the duke promised by Prince Chen must be something similar to the royal title.

There are two kinds of titles in Roland Empire: hereditary title and lifelong title. The title of life-long system is only granted to me. It is not hereditary, has no territory, and cannot form a private army. Once I die, my title will be cancelled.

Generally speaking, such titles are often offered by the royal family. Because the cost is small, although the glory, but not much real power. But hereditary title is absolutely not easy to be awarded! A hereditary title, on behalf of the people can be granted their own territory, in the territory of their own taxes, but also the formation of their own private army, and handed down from generation to generation! It means that there is another state in the Empire. Emperors of all ages are not stupid. Of course, they understand that the less hereditary titles there are, the more stable their empire will be. Therefore, unless it is a great contribution, it will never be granted any hereditary title! Otherwise, more and more hereditary titles will be granted, and more and more territories will be awarded. No matter how vast the territory of the empire is, it will be sealed one day! At that time, the ancestor of the Rowling family, general Rowling, who helped the Augustine family rise to unify the mainland, made great achievements in war, but only had a hereditary count. And Duwei, although he was on the side of Prince Chen in the coup, it's hard to say the credit. Big can be big, small can be small, but it's hard to evaluate. Only in this way can be a duke, or hereditary, to these aristocrats too shocked! And the more shocking scene that we don't know happened in the Imperial Palace, where Prince Chen originally lived, now in the Regent's palace. He played a key role in the coup in front of several trusted subordinates, including the guy named camisillo who had been undercover for ten years, the former commander of the public security department, Baron Sark, and some of the direct trusted subordinates of Prince Chen. The Regent threw a map of the Empire in front of Dewey, with a smile on his face: "my Duke, look at the map! Where do you want to be your territory? You can choose it on the map This word, everyone crazy surprised, everyone change color!!
