Chapter 567:

Boom……
The dull bell sounded from the palace and gradually spread to the entire emperor capital.
At the beginning, everyone didn't pay attention, knowing the continuous bells came.
Pedestrians stepped down, and merchants stopped sipping. Even playing children were stopped by adults.
At one time, everyone was silently counting the number of rings.
Thirteen sounds!
The thirteen bells of the imperial capital can be traced back to thirty years ago.
The dull bell awakened people's vague memories.
Everyone looked towards the palace with gazing eyes.
This is the end of an era and the beginning of a new era.
George Atlanta crashed.
The iron-blooded emperor finally died on his throne.
Just half an hour ago, the dusty hall was opened again, and all the royal family members were present under the orders of the courtiers.
In sight, George Atlanta entrusted his scepter, a symbol of imperial power, to his son, Prince Gavin, and closed his eyes with the majesty of the emperor.
From that moment on, the imperial power of the Greek Empire completed a new round of alternation, at least on the bright side.
The body of George Atlanta has been collected by a special person and prepared for the funeral according to the specifications of the emperor, and Jia Wen, from the moment he accepted the scepter, he was the new emperor of the Greek Empire.
Although grief was inevitable in his heart, Gavin still remembered George Atlanta's last entrustment to him, hiding his weakness and anxiety into his heart, and slowly moving towards the throne.
"stop!"
A discordant voice sounded and someone jumped out of the crowd.
The Minister of Finance in the crowd frowned, and sighed secretly that the things that had come were still here.
Even if George Atlanta tried his best to ensure the succession of the throne, some people's illusions about the throne could not be cut off, for example, Franks.
Although he was not the son of George Atlanta, there was also royal blood flowing in his body.
In the past, when the second prince was still alive, Franks, as a side branch, had no chance to compete with the second prince.
But after the death of the second prince, his ambition inevitably grew, especially the ministers who supported the second prince were mostly gathered by him.
It can be said that Franks was one of George Atlanta's key defenses during his lifetime.
It turns out that George Atlanta's concerns are not without reason.
The transfer ceremony has just ended, and the body of the emperor has not cooled down. The side branch of the royal family can't wait to jump out to fight for power.
"His Highness Franks, it is now the Herald of the Highness. Please do not disturb, if there is anything, you can talk to your Highness after the High Hall is over.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer stood up, trying to stop Franks from moving forward.
He was not a supporter of Jiawen and had secretly helped the second prince to seize power, but he eventually grew up on the side of the new emperor.
The reason, in addition to the general trend, is that George Atlanta opened conditions that he could not refuse before his death.
The Minister of Finance hoped that the succession ceremony could proceed smoothly, but unfortunately, Franks was unmoved.
"Your Majesty? Who is your Majesty?"
"Of course it was Her Majesty Gavin Atlanta, who was passed down by the emperor himself!" The Minister of Finance bent slightly to Gavin, and then turned his eyes to Franks again, and asked: "Did my Highness Franks want to go against the will of the Emperor? , Treason?
"I dare not rebel."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not feel a little relaxed because of the words of the other party, after all, Franks didn't think of stepping back.
Sure enough, Franks changed his face, pointing to Gavin next to the throne and saying, "How can you say that Gavin's succession is the will of the emperor?"
The Minister of Finance laughed, he did not expect that the other party would directly start from the legality of Jia Wen's succession.
After all, George Atlanta handed the scepter to Gavin in front of all of them, and if this could not be explained, how could it be proved.
"Franks is trying to get rid of it ..."
"I have evidence!" Franks interrupted the Chancellor of the Treasury roughly, then took something out of his arms.
The Minister of Finance narrowed his eyes.
As the top of the Greek Empire, he recognized at a glance what Franks was holding.
This is clearly the imperial edict issued by the emperor.
How could this be in Franks' hands?
"This is the edict written by the emperor. It records in detail how Jiawen was mad for the throne, poisoned his majesty, and united the minister to usurp. After being ordered, I have been secretly trying to rescue the emperor. Unfortunately, it is still slow. He took a step. "Franks held up the edict, and his cold tone spread throughout the hall:" Jiawen was not the heir chosen by the emperor at all, but only a usurper traitor! "
boom!
There was a loud argument in the hall.
The little aristocrats standing behind each other, seemingly discussing whether Franks's statement is true.
However, the big aristocrats standing in front of them all remained silent, as usual.
Franks's allegations may be shocking.
But who can mix into the core of the empire is not human.
They don't care about the truth of the matter, or they know the truth of the matter.
They don't talk, they are just thinking about what kind of benefits they can get from this happening.
The finance minister originally expected someone to jump out and accuse Franks of nonsense and share his pressure, but what he didn't expect was that even those ministers who had been called by the emperor earlier, like him, were downcast now It's a matter of nothing.
A curse was scolded in my heart, and the Minister of Finance had to do it again.
After all, like everyone else, he and his family seemed to have no retreat, only to be able to succeed Prince Jiawen smoothly.
"His Highness Franks, as far as I know, Her Majesty has not sent any secrets."
"Since it is a secret, how can it be propagated at will, and besides, you, the defender of Jiawen, may have seen that you and him had become filthy."
Now that he has stood up, the Minister of Finance has made psychological preparations. How can it be possible to mess up with only the words of the other party?
Besides, in this matter that Franks identified, the Minister of Finance can say that there is no place for nothing.
"Franks, if you step back now, what you can do is not happening, but if you want to go it alone, then ..."
Garvin gave a complex look at Franks.
Everyone belongs to the royal family. Franks strictly speaking can be regarded as his cousin. The two of them even got along well for a while.
But the royals were ruthless after all.
For this high position, Franks actually took a fake edict to defame Jiawen's father-in-law for power, and Jiawen's temper was a little bit unbearable.
If it wasn't for the last bit of affection, and he didn't want more accidents in the succession ceremony, Jiawen even planned to recruit a guard directly and win Franks.
"Don't put on falsehood and hypocrisy, see clearly, white and black, clear, and there is a private seal used by the emperor."
When the book was opened by Franks, even those big aristocrats who were planning to look on the wall couldn't help it.
Of course, it's different from everyone else.
Their surprise came tightly from the private seal of the emperor above.
You know, when George Atlanta was reborn, he was impervious to the imperial palace, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary nobles to insert an eyeliner. The precious things such as the private seal of the emperor never left.
In this case, Franks could find the seal and forge this copybook, and we can see that the power he secretly cultivated is far beyond the imagination of these great nobles.
That's right, these big nobles knew from the beginning that this so-called emperor's secret was false.
The second prince died unexpectedly, and Jiawen became the only heir to the emperor. As an emperor who valued his bloodlines very much, even if George Atlanta did not like Jiawen, he would eventually give the power to the other party. Otherwise, George Atlanta would not care Jiawen was sent to the front to lead the army.
You must know that no matter which generation or dynasty, if you want to ascend the throne, the support of the military plays a vital role. Without the support of the military, everything is empty talk.
In that battle, Jiawen not only established great merits, but also gained prestige for himself. The biggest gain was that he established a good friendship with several military leaders.
All of this, apart from Jia Wen's efforts, is inseparable from the support of George Atlanta.
Besides, despite these arrangements, although the emperor was seriously ill during this period, the palace door was not completely sealed off.
In fact, as George Atlanta's limit approached little by little, the iron-blooded emperor made arrangements to ensure the smooth transition of imperial power.
Of all the great aristocrats of the Empire, who has not been summoned and talked about separately?
If George Atlanta was really poisoned by Gavin, why didn't he ask the minister for help during that time, and instead went to find Franks?
But understand the ghost understand, everyone is still pretending to be confused, for the benefit of themselves and the family behind them.
Franks had secretly ventilated them and promised various conditions, so they would remain silent and watch the development of the situation.
If Jia Wen can't stand it, they don't mind immediately attaching Franks, giving Jia Wen and his allies a fatal blow.
"Gavin, the facts are there, you can't argue anymore. Today, you must pay for what you do!"
With the order of Franks, a group of guards rushed outside the hall, headed by the general who was responsible for guarding the entire palace.
The appearance of the army surprised the nobles even more. However, they never expected that the side branch of the royal family not only secretly inserted eyeliner in the palace, but even seized the defense of the entire siege in their own hands.
Now that the soldiers have surrounded the palace, if Gavin did not take the lead, this battle for the throne may end with Franks' victory.
"General Smith, take Gavin, and if he dares to resist, kill him!"
"Observe, Your Highness!"
Smith took the lead, and someone wanted to take Jia Wen down.
But at this moment, there was a glimmer of electric light behind Jiawen.
Smith was embarrassed to escape, but the dozen or so guards who followed him had no such good fortune and immediately fell to the ground and died.
The two old men appeared slowly before the crowd.
"Royal observance?" Smith's face showed a dread.
As a member of the royal family, it is naturally clearer than outsiders what is hidden in this palace.
Royal worship has always existed. They are directly under the emperor and can be said to be the most trusted force of all emperors.
At present, the two old men seem to be moving fast, but no one has master-level strength.
Smith and his subordinates could not have been rivals to the royal family.
"His Royal Highness, what do you do now?"
Originally thinking that things were going well, but still had trouble, Smith could not help but turn his eyes to Franks.
Franks' face was not good either.
Although Franks knew the existence of royal worship, he did not expect that the other party would stand on the side of Jiawen.
After all, the enshrinement was directly under the power of the emperor. Although Gavin had been passed down by George Atlanta, the ceremony did not end. According to rules, before Gavin did not sit in that position and held the scepter in his hand to complete the ceremony, he was not really the empire emperor.
"Two elders ..."
"It goes without saying, step back and wait for your Majesty to fall off, otherwise, die!"
The attitude of the two was very clear, shattering Franks' last fluke, the latter looked ugly, and finally gritted his teeth, crushing the spar in his arms.
Soon, the palace broke into several people again, and the magic of these people was not inferior to the two royal offerings.
Although shocked by the imperial settlement, Franks was not completely unprepared.
In order to ensure that he can win the throne, he has long attracted five masters.
Of these five people, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com belongs to the Greek Empire, but more of them are foreign magicians.
Each time these people make a shot, Franks has to pay an unimaginable price. If it is not necessary, he will never let them out easily.
But now, Franks can't take care of so much.
Now it is a situation where you die, if you can't defeat the two royal offerings and get rid of Jiawen, then he will not only miss the throne forever, or even save his life.
"Several masters, please also get rid of the three in front of you. After the incident is complete, you will have to thank them."
The five masters nodded, looking proud.
Although the two royals in front of them are not weak and slightly tricky, after all, they are old and, with their large numbers, they do not feel that they have any chance of failure.
As long as these three are killed and Franks is in power, then according to the agreement, Franks will open the royal treasure house to them, and most of the wealth in it will become their thing.
