The Black Throne of One Piece

Chapter 144: : Wolf ambition

"Shameless, really shameless. This low-level nobleman actually dares to do this, hateful, too hateful. What is the country in his eyes? This guy, like Gilbert, is a country thief. No, he is better than Gilbert. It's even more dangerous."

In the city of Cassia, in the palace, the Minister of Finance Herbert and his daughter Elizabeth immediately slapped the table angrily and cursed inwardly.

Since the old king heard that the king's army had been defeated twice a month ago, his condition deteriorated rapidly and he went into a comatose state, during which he could only wake up intermittently.

In this way, the old king is actually the finance minister of the cousin relationship, and the second in command of the king’s faction, Herbert naturally became the temporary power of the king’s faction, dealing with various national affairs every day, but when He really took the burden of the old king before discovering how heavy it was.

In just one month, the Minister of Finance who is still over 60 years old is still very well maintained. His beautiful blonde hair and beard have a lot of white and more wrinkles.

In this month, two people bothered Herbert the most.

The first person is undoubtedly Gilbert. This prince who has set off a rebellion has been secretly sending people to use the drum kingdom during this period of time. The nobles in various parts of the kingdom, even many of the great nobles in the royal city, began to make eyebrows with him, not surprisingly, There are already many nobles who have secretly changed their positions and are on Gilbert's side.

Gilbert now has a chance. This chance is undoubtedly news of the death of His Majesty the King. Once the old king dies, the soldiers of the rebels who have gradually regrouped will surely approach the King City.

The second person is Mesfield, played by Buffetk. This inconspicuous low-ranking noble was able to emerge in the two wars. By gathering the defeated soldiers and refugees, he became a powerful warlord on one side and made the rebels as neighbors. Not dare to touch its edge easily.

What frightened Herbert the most was that this low-ranking nobleman had extremely strong governance capabilities and was supported by a powerful force behind him. By gathering a large number of refugees and using them flexibly, his strength became stronger day by day.

At first, he also thought that it was a good choice to have Masefield blocking the rebels in front, and the other party had the ability to rescue refugees, which could stabilize the turbulent situation in the country. For this reason, he also asked the King's Army and Navy to assist in helping the other party's stability. The maritime trade route quickly stabilized the opponent's territory.

But now, Herbert discovered that this Masefield had become a local warlord with a big tail, and the kind that did not listen to it.

Now that the country is in a state of extreme crisis, it is really hateful that the other party wants to lie on this critically ill country and **** blood and make such excessive demands.

The four Devil Fruits still couldn't fill his appetite, and he still wanted the title of hereditary duke and a large piece of land near Frozen Town, and he was not afraid to die.

Wolf ambition!

Herbert had already seen the wolf ambition of the lower aristocrat Masefield. He was actually a prostitute like Gilbert, who wanted to subvert the power of this country.

"Damn it, Gresham, what should I do?"

Herbert finally realized the pain and anxiety of the old king when he made a difficult decision. He held his head in his hands and his face was very ugly.

Give it!

Then the hateful fellow Masefield can justifiably expand his power and further strengthen the power in his hands. Maybe in the future it will become a more deadly confidant than Gilbert.

With the way of rule that Masefield showed in Frozen Town, if he rebelled in the future, he would only be more deadly than Gilbert.

Will the King’s faction be able to hold on at that time?

No!

The transaction of the devil fruit cannot proceed normally. The king's army simply does not have enough to quell the powerful group of hateful pirates. With the shamelessness of the group of pirates, once it is found that the strength of the party is insufficient, let alone the devil fruit. If you can't get it, even people with money will be swallowed by the other party.

Without the devil's fruit to continue his life, then the old king will undoubtedly die, and the current regime of this country is not far from death.

In fact, this is not a very difficult multiple-choice question at all. One is chronic death, and the other is about to die.

Politics is an art of compromise.

Herbert made a decision quickly, and said helplessly: "You were so helpless back then, Gresham, forgive me."

"Boom boom boom~"

Suddenly, the door of the room was knocked, and then the voice of guards came.

Seeing this, Herbert immediately let the guard's guard come in. As soon as the door was opened, the guard ran to Herbert's ear and whispered the message.

"Great, I'll go over immediately."

When Herbert received the news from his guard, he was shocked, smiled on his sad face, and nodded.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the room.

Soon, Herbert came to a room with a large number of medical personnel and medical machines, and then looked at the skinny patient in the room.

"Here, Herbert."

When the patient saw Herbert, with a slight smile on his face, he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Herbert immediately grabbed the skinny hand of the man on the hospital bed, and said with tears: "Your Majesty, it is great that you can wake up at this time."

Afterwards, he turned his head and gestured out to the others in the room.

After all the other people in the room went out, Herbert immediately told the old king about the recent events in a simple and clear manner.

"Maysfield? I didn't expect him to have such ambitions. How about he treats the people in the territory?"

Gresham heard from Herbert about Buffett’s Measfield, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com was silent for a long time before asking Herbert.

Herbert heard this question and didn't know how to say it for a while.

Although he was very dissatisfied that Maysfield did not obey the orders of the central government, he still appreciated what he did. If half of the nobles in this country could treat the people as kindly as Maysfield, the situation in this country would definitely be much better.

But it is a pity that the nobles have deep-rooted thoughts, and most of them also pursue the doctrine of timely pleasure. Not many people are willing to put down their bodies and care about the people at the bottom. This problem is difficult to change even when the old king Gresham is alive.

Because the old king was able to secure the throne in the first place, it was the result of the support of countless such nobles. Once they dare to act on these people, the country will immediately be in great turmoil.

"I know, then promise him. The future belongs to young people after all. Let them toss. Isn't he also a nobleman in this country? It's just a different position, Herbert, you can Don’t forget our vows when we were young that this country will never perish in the new era.”

Gresham sighed as soon as he saw Herbert's expression.

When Herbert heard the old king say this, he suddenly remembered the vow he had made when traveling abroad with the old king when he was young. He trembled in his heart and said with some shame: "Yes, my king."

"Where is Mshoulu, I heard he is back, how is he now?"

Gresham got Herbert's answer and nodded, then after thinking about it, he asked gravely.
