Chapter 88

The old King Frederick, who led the Kingdom of Prussia to continuously expand its territory in France and Austria several times, was very prestigious. As for his stroke and inability to govern, even if there was no official definition, the people early classified the old King's misfortune.

It was an accident. But now, news came out from the palace that such a king was unfortunately paralyzed because he mistakenly drank similar poisonous drugs. The originally peaceful Kingdom of Prussia immediately caused ripples.

Since it wasn't an accident, it was a frame-up.

As for who it was, the Prussians simply connected the old Ottonian party that launched rebellion and rebellion with this incident, so the Prussian aristocrats, especially the Berlin aristocrats, who were once labeled as the Ottonian party, often had incidents

There are phenomena such as windows being smashed by stones, carriage wheels breaking while walking, and falling down inexplicably. There are even fanatics shouting "long live the king" outside those houses in the middle of the night. The next day when they go out, they see feces all over the place.

exterior wall.

Everyone knows how Prussia started fighting some time ago.

The king was unable to govern, and Otto's party tried to steal power. While vacating the royal family, it also persecuted the aristocracy, which forced the aristocracy to go out to other countries to find reinforcements. Then the Prussian princes exchanged covenant conditions similar to the offensive and defensive alliance for the support of Rome and Austria.

After a bitter battle, the Prussian nobles and foreign reinforcements worked together to defeat Otto's party, finally regained the royal capital and restored royal rule.

Therefore, besides Otto’s party, who else could frame the king?

The Assassins thought so at first, but what was shocking was that unlike the common people who were unanimous in their voices, in addition to the old Otto party, there were actually people among the nobles who were also panicking. After the Assassins,

Observe. That group of people who are inexplicably restless belong to the level of Prussian Junker.

It is understandable that the old Otto party thought that this was a general liquidation of the royal family. What reason did they have for the Prussian Junker to come here?

Could it be...

It didn't take long for the palace to get some inaccurate news. The reason why the old king drank Solomon's holy water was recommended by several Prussian Junkers.

Now that things have developed to this point, there is actually still room for maneuver.

You see, if Philetria hadn't done that experiment, many people wouldn't have known that Solomon's holy water with mercury in it would be poison, rather than a holy product. Those who don't know are not guilty. But some of those Prussian Junkers

People are not calm at times like this.

Within a few days, an unknown henchman of the king captured a group of conspirators plotting a rebellion, and obtained evidence that these people were trying to overthrow the Hohenzollern royal family, as well as clues that the old king was poisoned.

Those who conspired to overthrow the Hohenzollern royal family in the Kingdom of Prussia were none other than some of the Prussian nobles who worked together with foreign reinforcements to defeat Otto's party.

Faced with this news, the Assassins found out that the old Otto party was relieved and dumbfounded, and at the same time it was divided over how to deal with this situation. The kingdom's vassals were not only shocked, but also split into several factions because of their sides.

, the Junkers faction is in panic all day long.

"That Prussian noble named Liebig led the radical elements of the old Ottonian party and actively sought opportunities to defeat the Junker faction?" I hiccuped, "You are telling me that that guy who is not even a count became a

Leader of the radicals?”

"Yes."

In the small border house, Leon answered seriously.

"How did he do it?"

"Don't he have a very good relationship with you? Isn't this coming from your instruction?"

Facing Leon's confused expression, I was speechless. The Prussian aristocrat named Liebig obviously used my tiger skin as a banner, and then integrated part of the old Ottonian party in Berlin.

The rioters have been dealt with, and part of the old Ottonian party has been taken away. If this is the case, my idea of ​​initiating civil strife in Prussia and then pulling in groups to subvert the Prussian regime secretly is unlikely to be realized.

?

"I'm sorry, during your absence, he often went out with General Hippias, and when the people in Berlin were targeting the old Ottonian party, the Roman army was dispatched to protect him. I thought he was valued by His Highness.

Men."

I didn't take it seriously at first, but after this incident, I can't think of not taking it seriously anymore.

"Besides him, is there anything else going on in the kingdom?"

"The Prince of Dessau and Schwerin had a falling out," Leon said.

It is a big deal that Prince Dessau and Schwerin would fall out. In terms of severity, this is no less than the main army of the empire being hostile to each other. You know, the former is a vassal and the best of the king.

The friend is an elder who is in charge of the kingdom. The other one has great influence within the Kingdom of Prussia. He is not only the leader of the noble faction in the palace, but also can be regarded as Philetria's teacher.

"Why did the two of them have such a disagreement?"

The intelligence officer replied: "The Prince of Dessau wants to severely punish Juncker, but Count Schwerin does not think so. It seems that he wants to consider the overall interests of the country and treat the murder of the king as an accident, and even if it is not possible, he will reduce the involvement of the punishment."

Hmm, why does it sound like the two old men are playing a double act?

I asked a few more questions about Berlin's defenses and who was in charge of the army.

As a result, the answer I got was that Feletelia himself was in charge of the army, Count Schwerin and Liebig controlled the city defense, Prince Dessau moved into the palace with his guards, and the Junkers were all concentrated in them because of their study of art.

The big house I bought in Berlin was guarded by the army at the street entrance.

The Prussia of today is different from the Prussia of imagination.

According to my assumptions, after Philetria returns to Prussia, he will go crazy and arrest Junckers everywhere, causing the whole country to fall into turmoil again. As long as there are no problems with the Roman army stationed in Prussia, with the cooperation I have Philetria in my hand.

With the royal orthodoxy of Letelia and the three trump cards of Old Otto and Prince Dessau, I can settle most things.

But now, Juncker is concentrated in Berlin under disguised house arrest, and it doesn't look like he can be tossed around.

Is it a French conspiracy?

But I still underestimated Philetria's ability to cause trouble. Leon also reported that not long after, this girl announced to the public that she had listened to the opinions of Count Schwerin and the Prince of Dessau and decided to imprison the leader.

The main culprit was released without charge. In other words, the Junkers were imprisoned for a period of time and then returned to their territory.

However, things are not over yet at this point. Just when I thought there was no hope of subverting Prussia, the whole thing took a turn for the worse. The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire issued an edict summoning Philetelia to abide by the covenant agreement and lead the army to the imperial city of Nuremberg.

Waiting for the next command.

Feletelia, a guy with a weak head, led the main Prussian force, including the Royal Infantry Regiment, the Mustache Regiment, and the Saxon Regiment, a total of 33 infantry battalions, nearly 35,000 infantry, 60 cannons and 5

A cavalry regiment with a total of four thousand cavalry went to Nuremberg.

I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Damn it, this girl just put the Junkers' territory that was destined to cause trouble back into their territory, and stupidly took out the main elite of the family. Isn't this telling the Junkers to make trouble, make trouble as hard as possible?

!How stupid can she be to take such a step?

Although I was really looking forward to Philetria causing chaos in the Kingdom of Prussia, when things got to this point, I became extremely depressed and entangled.

reason?

It shouldn't be because he cares about that idiot, it must be because he wasted so many days to teach such an idiot!

I asked anxiously: "The Fifth Spartan Legion! How about the Fifth Spartan Legion?"

"The Fifth Spartan Legion is still in Berlin, cooperating with three Prussian infantry regiments to stay behind."

Faced with the girl's IQ, I almost hurt myself, but luckily she didn't hurt the Fifth Spartan Legion: "Is there anything else you want to report?"

"Yes." Leon took a step back, "It's better to let her pass the news to you."

Assassin walked up and took out a letter from his arms.

Leon is deliberately creating opportunities for Assassin to contact me?

Never mind him!

"This is a secret message from Caesar of Constantinople to us to deliver to you. Please accept it."

A sealed, sealed letter was handed into my hands.

I opened the secret letter, which was written by Alexander. I glanced at the content above. At this moment, I finally understood the intention of the cheap man to get through Prussia. I didn't expect that Prussia would play such a big role at this time.

"Where's Constans?" I asked.

"Your Excellency Constans is at the headquarters of the Mustache Scumbags."

"Contact him immediately, I must meet with him as soon as possible." Constans is my biggest helper in Prussia, and I must go and join him first.
