Chapter 848: One emperor

"What you said is true?" The second prince looked a little ugly.
"Yes, your Royal Highness, what is certain is that the other party should already know your Royal Highness's ability, and also knows some side effects of this ability.
Almost missed the important matter of your Highness. This is my dereliction of duty. Please forgive your Highness! "
In the communication images, Grand Duke Horton looked respectful.
"It's just that the information they have is limited. Not only did they not get anything from me this time, but they exposed the hidden child they painstakingly arranged.
What I didn't expect was that Alfonso would be secretly controlled by them.
According to my guess, the other party should have found some clues in the secret guard of His Royal Highness, and then he attacked me. "
"So..." The second prince frowned and muttered.
The secret guard sent by him disappeared, and then Viscount Iron Wall attacked Grand Duke Horton. There must be some connection between the two.
But he knew that just a little abnormality of a secret guard would never reveal the secret of his ability.
We must know that over the years, there have been many "missing" secret guards.
His opponents are not all mediocrities, and it's too early to be exposed.
The other party definitely has other sources of intelligence.
But what went wrong?
"Heh! It seems that the father is critically ill, and some people are already impatient..." The second prince narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at Grand Duke Horton again, "Then what do you think is behind Alfonso?"
"This...can't be sure.
The small spaceship that rescued Alfonso earlier was so extraordinary that it was able to treat our defense system as nothing. This is definitely not something that the restless forces can have.
The alliance of the four princes and the eighth princes may have this ability, and the mysterious and unpredictable unity for a while is also suspected.
In addition, Alfonso had a good personal relationship with the nine princes when he was young, and has recently sprung up.
Speaking of suspicion, this highness is the most suspicious! "Grand Duke Horton analyzed.
"Nine brother..." The second prince's face was slightly dark.
The sudden rise of the Nine Princes was indeed a variable he hadn't anticipated.
During this period of time, the political situation in the imperial capital was surging, and the second prince suddenly got into trouble and used various methods to suppress the nine princes, deliberately killing chickens and monkeys.
This sudden action did indeed have an effect. The previously energetic and frequent action of the Nine Princes was like a sap. Many of the secret forces that had just been put into effect were exposed for some reason, and were swept away by the Nine Princes with a thunderous force.
This made many nobles who wanted to bet on the Nine Princes began to watch carefully, and the Nine Princes had to retract their tentacles that stretched out everywhere, shrinking their forces around the imperial capital.
However, during this process, the second prince also discovered that the resources in the hands of the nine princes far exceeded his expectations.
Even the most important weapon of the country, the imperial intelligence agency "Skynet", has completely fallen to the Nine Princes.
It should be said that without the acquiescence of the emperor, no one would believe it.
"I really didn't expect that your majesty would actually bet all the resources in his hands on the ninth brother. It seems that my father, the emperor, really loves the ninth brother..."
Judging from the information collected during this period, the emperor’s support for the nine princes can almost be called "spare no effort."
So that the second prince used seven or eight points of strength, and he failed to completely destroy the nine princes.
"His Royal Highness, what shall we do now, now that the opponent knows your ability, they will inevitably take precautions against it, and the longer the delay, the more likely this secret will be exposed!" Horton was fair.
"Heh! It's not that it might be exposed, but it's already exposed!" The second prince sneered.
It is said that the old fourth and the old eight were inexplicably rude to themselves some time ago, and combined with today's affairs, even if he is slow, he can associate these few things together.
It seems that Viscount Iron Wall is by no means the only one who knows his secrets!
The second prince looked a little constipated when he thought of so many people behind his back using this method to test whether they were "charmed" by themselves.
"What? The secret has been revealed?" Grand Duke Horton's face was startled.
"Huh! Do you think my father is really old and confused? My opponents have never been my stupid brothers!" The second prince said quietly.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean... Your Majesty already knew?"
"Of course, the person sitting on the highest throne of the empire has never been an old wolf who can only survive.
The power and might of the imperial emperor, only by sitting in that seat can you appreciate its greatness...
What's more... Where do you think the abilities of my brother and I come from? "
Grand Duke Horton was startled and hurriedly bowed his head.
"Heh! There is no one with mental abilities, and there are very few people with strange abilities. Why do you think our royal family can appear one after another like me and my elder brother?
Is it really because of our noble blood? "
The second prince looked rather complicated.
With the more power he has, the more he can access the core secrets of this empire...
And the complete secret... is undoubtedly only in the hands of the emperor who is dying!
It is precisely because of the jealousy of that person that he did not use his abilities unscrupulously to turn his brothers into his own puppets.
Grand Duke Horton lowered his head, shocked in his heart, but did not dare to have any idea of ​​continuing to test this secret.
The second prince didn't care when he saw it, and continued as if talking to himself.
"The nine sons seized the concubine, and I took a huge risk to get rid of the eldest brother, which upset the father.
But I originally thought that even if the emperor did not like me anymore, he would not break the rules and participate in the struggle for the throne between the princes.
But now it seems I was wrong.
Even Skynet has been given to the ninth brother by the father, and my secret should have been passed to the ninth brother in this way, and then by Alfonso and the fourth brother and others.
Ha ha! The father... this is the end in person! "
That's right, the second prince at this time has completely attributed the leak of his ability to the emperor's lack of martial ethics...
This was not because the second prince had ignored Nie Yun's suspicion, but compared to the fact that everything had just emerged for a while, the biggest enemy in his eyes was undoubtedly the royal family members who were close to him.
"His Royal Highness, what should I do next?" Grand Duke Horton didn't dare to delve into this topic, so he asked.
"You don't need to do anything to stabilize the people's hearts in the Duke's Mansion. Your existence is the greatest restraint to the father.
As long as the military power of the Ducal Palace is in our hands for a day, the father dare not risk our mutiny and make outrageous moves.
This incident also reminded us that although you are in the Duke's Mansion, it is not foolproof.
It is a pity that if my abilities are not perfect, otherwise the middle-level and high-level officers will also need to be brought under control. "
The second prince had a little regret in his eyes.
Charm is very strong.
But with the exception of Grand Duke Horton, an absolute confidant who was cultivated by the second prince for a long time with a lot of hard work, ordinary puppets have such and other side effects.
And also need to carry out "maintenance" from time to time.
The more charming people and the higher the status, the greater the possibility of revealing one's abilities.
Even if the target is the imperial nobles, the second princes often choose those rotten nobles who are hollowed out by wine and weak-willed.
Such people tend to have extremely low resistance to Charm, and they can use their skills for several years if they brush their skills once.
With the presence of Grand Duke Horton, the Duke's Mansion has been firmly controlled by the second prince.
Therefore, in the eyes of the second prince, the iron-blooded soldiers who are not easy to control like the Viscount Tiebi are not cost-effective.
This is also the reason why they can escape the clutches of the second prince.
"Your Royal Highness can rest assured, as long as His Royal Highness ascends the throne and possesses the supreme power, he can no longer have any scruples!
At that time, a powerful empire that only centers on His Highness and is loyal to His Highness will appear.
Those nobles who have decayed and fallen will no longer be obstacles, but will become loyal and enthusiastic followers of His Royal Highness!
In the hands of His Royal Highness, the empire will surely revive!
Even the three major dukes of the mechanical clan will eventually crawl at the feet of the new empire! "
Grand Duke Horton's eyes were frantic, as if he was about to witness the rise of a great empire.
"Yes! The decayed empire is dying!
Only I can save this empire. I have given me the ability from heaven to remove all filth and make the empire great again! "
The corner of the second prince's mouth evokes a crazy arc.
From his standpoint, he should be the hero who saves the empire.
What about killing brother? What about the rebellious father?
The change of Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate, did not ultimately make the Tang Dynasty flourishing?
The history books of later generations will only call him an emperor!
