Father Mavie

Its daybreak.

The city of London was filled with smoke. The flames of the palace had just been extinguished, and the embers were exuding scorching gas. Soldiers were cleaning up the wreckage, and the people opened the doors cautiously. They still dared not let go after a sleepless night.

It wasn't until a Windsor guard rode through the street on a horse, shouting, "The new king has ascended the throne, God save the king," that the people gradually realized what had happened last night.

coup!

Judging from the results, the winner has been decided.

Just as the people were talking about it, a gun salute came from the palace in the distance, no more, no less, exactly 21 guns.

The 21-gun salute is the highest standard and also means that the new king has ascended the throne.

The people spontaneously flocked to the palace, wanting to see the king's honor.

"I guess the new king must be the fourth prince. He is the best to us!"

"No, it must be the eldest prince! Didn't you see that group of Royal Navy? They are the eldest prince's people!"

"Stop talking! Yes. It's the second prince."

The second prince wearing a crown walked out of the palace, stood on the balcony, raised his arms and waved gently to the people gathered below, causing an uproar in the crowd.

Who would have thought that the second prince with the least strength would win the throne?
Aren't those in the Royal Navy the prince's people?

The Times solved their doubts. The headline on the front page was the news about the coup of the eldest prince. The newspaper clearly pointed out that the second prince won the most votes, but the unconvinced eldest prince launched a coup. At the critical moment, the royal family The navy lived up to its honor and resolutely chose the kingdom to bring order to the chaos.
Everyone who saw the news was dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

The development of things was not something they could have expected at all!
The second prince got the most votes, but the eldest prince launched a coup and the Royal Navy actually mutinied on the spot?

This.
Who doesn’t know that the second daughter of the Crawley family married the eldest prince?

They also have a child!

If there is no rebellion, wouldn’t the winner be the great prince?
By then, the Crowley family will be able to soar into the sky.
Why rebel?
Not only the people couldn't understand this problem, but even the second prince wearing the crown couldn't understand it.

Although in the letter, Toure said that he chose to rebel out of anger because the eldest prince poisoned the king, this reason was obviously not enough to convince the second prince.

How many fools are there who can make it this far?
Even if you Tulay Crowley relied on the power of your family and became a vice admiral without much effort, you shouldn't just rebel.

How can you be sure that it was the eldest prince who poisoned the king?

There are rumors in the outside world that it was the second prince who administered the poison!

not to mention.
Old Duke Crowley, as the supreme commander of the Navy, does he know nothing about your plan?

If you know your plan, it will prove that the Crowley family is involved in this matter. The second prince knows what old Duke Crowley is. He is a man. Even if the eldest prince really poisons the king, he will never do it easily. betray.

It doesn't matter if you use some dirty means, as long as you can achieve your goal!
The reason why he rebelled angrily because he was poisoned by the king did not make sense to the second prince.

The situation was urgent last night, and the second prince had no time to think about it. The overall situation had been decided today. Only after he officially ascended the throne did he notice something strange.

"His Majesty."

After the coronation ceremony, and before the luncheon started, Baron Frederick found the second prince and once again expressed what he was thinking: "You should be careful about Nicholas and the Royal Navy. Nicholas contacts the Royal Navy without authorization. This is a taboo!"

The second prince, who was wearing the king's robe, waved away the guards around him and said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, but I believe in Nicholas. Without him, I cannot be the king."

"His Majesty."

"Stop talking!" the second prince said impatiently: "I have become a king! Baron Frederic! Look! I am wearing a crown on my head! Now everyone must call me your Majesty! My The purpose has been achieved!"

"You always say that Nicholas has evil intentions. Let me ask you, what is wrong with him? Just because he contacted the Royal Navy without telling me? Have you ever thought that if he hadn't done this, I would have been killed by Charles last night! "

"Even if there is a problem, it should be the Royal Navy that has the problem! Not Nicholas! Stop targeting him!"

Baron Frederick looked at his son-in-law blankly. The anger in his eyes was not disguised, but came from the heart.

As if he felt that he was too emotional, the second prince took a deep breath and asked in a calm tone: "Since you doubt Nicholas, you should provide evidence. Tell me, what black information have you collected about him?"

"I"

"You have no evidence?" The second prince frowned.

"Your Majesty, I really have no evidence now, but I know that Nicholas must be executing a plan."

"That's enough! Do you want to listen to what you are saying! This is all conjecture! Conjecture!"

The second prince said angrily: "Are you so jealous of Nicholas? I'm really disappointed for you! You should be ashamed!"

Baron Frederick stood there blankly as if struck by lightning. He never thought that one day, the second prince who had obeyed him would say such hurtful words.

He knew that no matter what he said, it was useless. He bent stiffly towards the second prince sitting on the throne and resigned with a hoarse voice.

After Baron Frederick left, the second prince asked Mavie to be found. When he saw Mavie, a smile appeared on his face.

"Nicholas! Look! I'm the king already!"

Ma Wei said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really worthy of this crown."

"Really?" The second prince touched the crown on his head and said with a smile: "I think so too. By the way, I came to you for business."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"The Liberal Party is our strongest supporter, but now that I have become the king, I can no longer lead them, so I want you to succeed and lead them."

"Isn't Baron Frederic the leader of the party?"

"He is older and his judgment is not as good as before. Of course, he should still be the leader of the party. What I mean is to appoint you as prime minister and form a cabinet, so that you can better lead the Liberal Party."

After the coup, the second prince who had just ascended the throne immediately announced the dissolution of the cabinet, deprived Winston Churchill of his power, and asked him to go home to retire.

The same goes for many generals in the army.

Of course, things will not just settle like this. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the second prince is planning to settle accounts in the future. He has just ascended the throne and is busy stabilizing the political situation. If he suddenly raises the butcher knife, it will make people panic, which will be disadvantageous.

As long as he secures his throne, those former enemies can be dealt with at any time!

"I'm afraid I don't have the ability to form a cabinet, Your Majesty."

Ma Wei declined: "Why don't you let Baron Frederick pass the title to Stuart and then take over No. 9 Downing Street? I believe he will do a better job than me." After hearing this, the second prince immediately said: Baron Frederick was even more dissatisfied.

Look at Nicholas!

I keep saying good things to you, and I want you to become the Prime Minister!
What about you?

What's wrong with constantly slandering others and saying that they have evil intentions?Don't talk nonsense, okay?It's been like this for so long!

narrow.

Narrow-minded!

"Baron Frederick is not suitable to be the prime minister." The second prince said: "I have decided to invite you to become the prime minister and form a cabinet. Nicholas, don't refuse. I don't trust anyone else to be the prime minister except you. This is what we It was discussed before, wasn’t it? You have great influence in the church, and if you become Prime Minister, the status of the royal family will also increase!"

In addition to trust, the second prince also considered the church.

After what happened last night, the second prince finally saw clearly that Archbishop Brandon could only stop Archbishop Cambury from doing anything behind his back. If he really wanted to help, he needed Nicholas!
If Nicholas hadn't driven him out of the Scotland Yard police blockade and instigated rebellion against the Royal Navy, it wouldn't be him sitting here, but Charles!

"Okay." Ma Wei sighed: "Since His Majesty insists on this, I will no longer refuse."

"That's right." The second prince smiled.

"Your Majesty, regarding the Royal Navy and Scotland Yard Police"

"Scotland Yard police are rotten to the core! They must be overhauled!"

The second prince snorted coldly: "And the Mayor of London and those people dare to take refuge in Charles, they must pay the price!"

"I understand, but what should I do with them?"

"Dismissal! Dismiss them all!" The second prince said decisively: "After you form the cabinet, draw up a list of officials for me. If there are no problems, let them take over! This time you have to arrange your own people!"

Ma Wei smiled and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, you must arrange your own people."

"As for the Royal Navy."

The second prince rubbed his chin, picked up a cigar and said, "The Crowley family has made great contributions and must be rewarded, but I am somewhat suspicious of their motives. What do you think, Nicholas?"

"Maybe they have seen the situation clearly, but not necessarily." Ma Wei said: "Old Duke Crowley wants to bet on both ends, so that no matter who wins, they will not suffer a loss."

"Hedging your bets. How can so many good things come from this world!"

The second prince sneered: "Such people are unreliable! Well, in addition to the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Nicholas, like the former Prime Minister Winston, also serves as the Minister of the Navy and keeps an eye on them."

"In addition, Tulay Crowley is promoted to admiral. All the heroes last night are promoted to one rank. At the same time, the old Duke Crowley is asked to resign and go home to retire!"

Giving a sweet date a slap in the face, rising up and down secretly, these are all old tricks. Ma Wei was not surprised that the second prince would handle it like this: "Then who will hold the position of First Sea Lord?"

"Nicholas, who do you think is suitable?"

Ma Wei grinned bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are really stumping me. I don't know much about the Royal Navy. How do I know how many talents they have? The naval officer I am most familiar with is probably Rear Admiral Joshua."

"Joshua?" The second prince felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "He is the commander of the fleet we are going to Paris? Is he already a rear admiral?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, he was promoted to major general after returning from Paris."

"Should, should"

Recalling Joshua's loyal actions, the second prince sighed with emotion: "He is indeed a talent. Nicholas, do you still have contact with him?"

"We have occasional contact. Last night, Joshua came too."

"Well, don't worry about loyalty." The second prince nodded slowly: "How about letting him succeed the old Duke Crowley as First Sea Lord?"

"Rear Admiral Joshua is too inexperienced and may not be able to convince the public. Your Majesty, why not arrange for Baron Frederick to serve as First Sea Lord? Baron Frederick is the most loyal. In this way, we do not have to fear the Royal Navy. ”

"Your situation is much bigger than his." The second prince muttered to himself, and then nodded: "Just as you said, appoint Baron Frederick as First Sea Lord! Let the Royal Navy take over from the Army. , responsible for guarding the safety of the royal capital!"

After replacing the top two leaders with his own people, the second prince was confident that the Royal Navy would become the main defense force in London. He believed that with Mavey and Baron Frederick around, the Crawley family would not be able to overturn the situation.

"You are now the Lord of the Navy and have the power to transfer personnel. Remember to replace the Crowley family's confidants and don't let them dominate."

"clear."

"Come on, Nicholas, let's go to the party!"

After arranging the job transfer, the second prince came to the banquet hall and was ecstatic to the sounds of His Majesty's voice.

Most of the people attending this banquet were members of the Liberal Party. The Labor Party and the Democratic Party also came. Only a few members of the Conservative Party came, and they were all marginal figures. In addition, there was Archbishop Brandon.

The enthronement ceremony in the morning was personally presided over by Pope Umbry I, who also personally put the crown on the second prince. Then Umbry I left, leaving only Archbishop Brandon.

"Come! Archbishop Brandon, Nicholas! Let's drink a toast!"

The second prince raised his glass and said: "Celebrate our victory!"

While everyone was enjoying the banquet and the joy of victory, a servant of God hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Archbishop Brandon's ear. Archbishop Brandon raised his eyebrows and his expression became strange.

"What's wrong?" the second prince asked.

"Cambury is gone."

Archbishop Brandon frowned and said, "Just now, he resigned from all his positions and returned to his hometown of Birmingham."

Apart from being frustrated, Ma Wei couldn't think of any other adjective, but the second prince was very happy: "Okay! Okay! The Archbishop of Cambury is gone! This is a good thing!"

After saying that, the second prince realized that he shouldn't say this and coughed twice: "I will give the Archbishop of Cambury a farewell gift in recognition of his contribution to the church and the kingdom. Who will be his successor?"

"It hasn't been decided yet." Archbishop Brandon said: "There are not many bishops who are qualified to become archbishops. They can only choose from the College of Cardinals. Cambury left so suddenly that the candidate cannot be determined for the time being. However, based on his qualifications, Look. Bishop Fowler is a promising successor."

"Bishop Fowler?"

"Yes, it's Bishop Fowler who had a bad time with Nicholas." Archbishop Brandon said helplessly: "Although he has made mistakes, he has made great contributions to the church. On the issue of the Church of Truth, he is a firm opponent. , the Pope is very optimistic about him. Nicholas, if Bishop Fowler becomes archbishop, will you object?"

Ma Wei smiled: "If this is the Pope's decision, I will not object."
