Chapter 483 [Alternate Emperor] (top)

Dewey thinks it's definitely not a smart idea and it's too risky!

Although Old Augustine VI has been out of power for more than two years, there are still many who will follow him: including the Temple!

As you can imagine, if the death of Augustine VI had spread quickly, the fastest clapping nature would have been Pope Paul XVI - not because Paul XVI hated the Augustine VI world so much. Just as soon as this old emperor dies, then, according to the habitual thinking of most people, the Regent should reasonably inherit the throne and be crowned the new emperor of the Empire.

For its part, the Church must look forward to seeing the emergence of an emperor known as the Pope as the "Godfather”! Just imagine, in some solemn public venues, His Majesty, the Supreme Chen of the Emperor of the Empire, bending over to Paul XVI and respectfully calling him "Godfather”. Such a scenario is absolutely a great victory! And for the royal family, it means more than just losing face.

As was the case before Prince Chen, he arranged for Augustine VI to appear in public at intervals of about a month, such as at a decision-making meeting in a court of law or at a censorship ceremony.

And in fact, since Prince Chen held the Baptism Ceremony to invigorate the Church, received the Pope's Baptism at the Ceremony, and honored the Pope as the Godfather, there have been some impatient voices within the Church in the near future: I hope that the Regent will crown as soon as possible!

For those priests, they desperately saw a “godson” emperor, not a “godson” regent. Many people already have some impatient whispers about the late crowning of Prince Chen as emperor: anyway, the power is already in hand, the old emperor is in the second line, why don't you twist the pinch and not crown?!

On some occasions of religious prayer, some promptings have been conveyed to Prince Chen secretly within the Church, hoping that Prince Chen will fulfill his original promises as soon as possible.

“I do not expect to be able to hide the privileges of the Emperor forever with one double, but it is possible to buy us some time in the short term.” Prince Chen's voice is mild, but Dewey noticed that his word is "we”.

Obviously, Dewey sensed a clear message from which he was by far the most trusted man of the young king.

Dewey sighed.

“Three days.” Prince Chen faintly said: “Three days later is the annual 'Festival of Feast', and I arranged an open prayer ceremony, the last feast held in the palace before the New Year. On that occasion, I will show this‘ father ’publicly. Then… we can buy two months, and I will announce to the public that Father is not feeling well, so let him be brief, and he won't have to show up for a long time. ”

Dewey sighed, which seemed like an impossible solution.

After all, this happened too suddenly, disrupting previous plans, and in just a few days, it was really hard to think of a proper solution.

“But," warned Dewey, "at the festival banquet, almost all the elders in the Emperor will attend. Those old guys have followed the Emperor for the rest of their lives, and nobody will see anything broken. And, Your Highness, you should know better than me that this kind of thing can be a big scandal if it gets out!” His tone is serious: “I must ask your heart: Are you sure you don't want to be crowned emperor? ”

Prince Chen's voice was resolute: “My heart decided long ago... I meant Charlie! ”

“But Charlie's only ten years old, and he won't grow up in two or three months.” Dewey sighs: “And this double can only buy us two or three months at most. Three months later, what do we think of a reason to convince everyone to give the throne publicly to Prince Charlie?” Dewey shook his head: “Your Highness, you were growing up young, leaving your Regent standing, but standing as an emperor with a 10-year-old - and he is your own son. I am afraid that this approach will be rejected by all. ”

This dialogue between Prince Duwei and Prince Chen did not hide the “double". In fact, this guy has been sitting in that bed in awe, looking at Prince Duwei and Chen with fear.

Before Prince Chen left, he left Dewey here. He entrusted Dewey with a task: to teach this double some ceremonies to attend the banquet three days later.

Dewey is not a court courtesan, but after all, this is a secret matter! Prince Chen is reluctant to let more people know about the double...

And on the night of the old emperor's death, the Regent immediately and without any hesitation killed all the servants, servants, court officers, court guards, all secretly in this palace!

It also included six court doctors who were treated by the old emperor.

Externally, it was announced that because a careless court physician and a court magic pharmacist inadvertently triggered a poison leak while communicating the efficacy of a dangerous magic potion, which resulted in an unfortunate accident in which several court doctors and waiters died...

Dewey didn't think much about this bizarre task, after all, there's less chance of a leak now that one person knows about it.

And before Prince Chen left, he suddenly looked at Dewey and said a strange phrase: “As far as I know, you should be a great mastermind, and you have the ability to disguise a man as a superior. ”

After that, he didn't seem to have any other meaning, so he turned around and left.

Dewey sighed and saw Prince Chen walk out of the palace.

There are no more guards outside the palace. After executing an original group of guards here, Prince Chen ordered that "His Majesty the Emperor's future living guards be handed over to the magician of the court. ”

Now there are only two servants in this palace in charge of waiting, all of whom are the hearts and minds of Prince Chen's absolute trust, and none of the guards outside, but a group of court magicians guarding in the dark.

Looking at the empty palace, Dewey's eyes fell on this poor double.

In fact, this guy looks exactly like the old emperor, and after some special treatment and makeup, it's almost hard to see what's going on where the lights are dim.

But if you seem familiar with the old emperor, in public, it's still easy to see the breaking —— besides, a person's mouth, voice, tone, some subtle movements, are all very difficult to grasp.

This double was obviously found temporarily, and he looked frightened, and there was really no way to get the emperor's temper - Old Augustine VI, though not a good emperor, had some of the emperor's authority to raise his hand and throw his foot at him as the master of the continent for the rest of his life.

Moreover, Dewey knew very well: after two days of the party, waiting for the result of this poor double was also obvious: silence!

But now I can't think of any answers to these troubling things for a while and a half.

Dewey started to get busy, and he took out the storage ring with the strap, and he took out some of the pills that were stored in it, and right in front of this "double," he swabbed up these bottle jars.

Looking at Dewey flirting with these magic potions, looking at those bubbling potions, this double is obviously even more scared.

His trembling voice suddenly raised his courage and begged Dewey: "Please, no, don't kill me... I...”

“I'm not gonna kill you.” Dewey tries to soften his voice, after all, this guy is also an innocent poor man - but that's politics.

Saying, he handed over a bottle of conditioned medicine: "Drink it, it will taste bitter, don't spit it out. Then you can get some sleep. ”

The last phrase, "Sleep well”, was probably a misunderstanding for this poor old man, who suddenly jumped out of bed and pounced on his knees in front of Dewey and grabbed Dewey's pants and begged: "Please, don't kill me, don't kill me! ”

Dewey pulled him up, looked closely, and found that this guy was not an “old man” at all, he was only about forty years old. However, it is obvious that Prince Chen's men have applied some simple makeup to him first. The wrinkles on his face are clearly painted...

Dewey's heart is even harder - such crude makeup, trying to hide it from old men who have followed the old emperor for decades... is simply impossible!

“I'm not going to kill you.” Dewey grabbed this man's collar, lifted him up, and tried to drink it with a harsh tone: “I don't think you're an idiot! You should probably know what we need you to do! Right!”

This man shook his body away and nodded.

“Good.” Dewey Cold said: “Then you should also understand that this must not be divulged! So, you're worried you're gonna end up shut up, huh? ”

“… yes.” This man looked desperate, and he trembled: “My lord... I, I, I am just a tailor who used to specialize in tailoring His Majesty... I don't know why the Regent suddenly caught me here the other night... I, I don't know anything...”

He looked pathetically at Dewey, his voice stuttering, talking while his teeth were fighting.

“Oh, you're a court tailor?” Dewey's eyes shine: “Have you ever tailored the old emperor before? That would be much better. Since you have seen His Majesty up close, you should also know some of the movements and habits of His Majesty's behavior, right? ”

“I... I...” His teeth squeaked and he couldn't speak.

Dewey grabbed his chin and carefully detailed it on his face.

He met the old emperor several times, and then he grabbed a pen straight out of his arms and painted it on both sides of his cheek on this guy's face.

The muscles on this man's face trembled so badly that he finally dared not struggle, but closed his eyes and left tears in his corner.

Dewey sighed and spoke more affectionately: “Tell me, what is your name? ”

“Groom, my lord, my name is Groom. ”

“Okay, Groom.” Dewey smiled, “Do you have a family? ”

“There are... adults.” Groom shuddered: “I have a wife and two daughters...”

“Well, are they in Imperial City? ”

“No, my lord, they're not. After Groom said a few words, his voice became a little smooth:“ After the coup d 'état of the previous two years, I was afraid that this would happen again, and then I simply sent them home. ”

“Where's your hometown?” Dewey painted a few strokes on his face as if he had carelessly asked.

“South, Lille Dynasty, my lord... my hometown is in Lille Dynasty. ”

“Oh, that place I've been to. Lille Bank Province, just south of the Rollin Plains of our Rollin family.” Dewey laughed peacefully: “I've been to Half Corner City, and I've had some interesting things there. Well, do you know Half Corner City? ”

“I, I know, my lord…” Groom seemed less nervous, and this tulip duke seemed plain approachable and reassuring, and his hopes of survival increased by a few points: “Half Corner City… My hometown is not far from Half Corner City. ”

Dewey smiled, “My wife and I first met outside of Half Corner City. Oh, that time I blackmailed her. At that time, she was still a little girl who didn't understand anything. Well, what about you? Groom, tell me, what's your wife and daughter like? ”
