Chapter 516: Jin Mu's Plan
Chapter 516: Jin Mu's Plan
Homuis said as he sighed heavily.
When Soran heard this, he grabbed his collar and said:
"If you knew, why didn't you report it?"
However, Holmes only had a wry smile on his face.
Is this something he can report? Moss XIII did not inform him, which clearly shows that he does not want other people to know about it.
This was a kind of tacit understanding between the king and his subject, but they never expected that Berkeley, the old man whom Holmes had wholeheartedly supported, would actually betray them.
Moreover, this was just his guess. Before he could figure it out, Moss XIII had already taken sick leave and refused to meet with foreign officials.
Where can he go to explain this?
The only way was to take advantage of this chaotic opportunity, use his title as prime minister and Sauron's authority in the army to mobilize the army to form the Hun Tian Army Formation to prevent any accidents.
And Soran was just excited, he was not a brainless person.
He released Holmes, then looked up at the momentum that only someone at his level could see, and said hesitantly:
"Maybe you guessed wrong. That old guy Aoi might have succeeded."
However, Holmes smiled bitterly and said:
"I hope so. At least the soldiers won't die in vain. But do you think the eldest prince, who is so scheming, will cooperate with your majesty so readily? And according to my latest intelligence, he got a divine finger in there."
When Soran heard the news, he almost slapped Holmes to death.
"You old man are so timid for your own power that you don't even consider such important information."
And Holmes also shook his head and said:
“I really didn’t expect that, because the divine finger he obtained had already been handed over to the church a long time ago, which is why the church sent a master this time.
I just sorted out the entire process of the uprising and discovered the clues. The eldest prince has deceived us all. He must have obtained something from the divine finger."
Soran gritted his teeth and said:
"Damn, this kid Jinmu really has the style of His Majesty back then."
If ordinary people hadn't seen the way Soran gritted his teeth, they would have thought he was praising someone.
Only old men like Holmes knew how terrifying Moss XIII's methods were in the fight for the throne.
Otherwise, the person sitting in that position now would be Prince Xiao Suo.
As Soran hesitated, Holmes patted the armrest and said:
"Let's make a decision quickly. Even if nothing happens with the eldest prince, won't the old duke cause some trouble?"
If we don't talk about this, Sauron would have forgotten about the old Duke.
Soran gritted his teeth and said:
"It's easy to say we're moving troops, but without a legitimate name and an order from His Majesty, how could they possibly listen to us?"
At this moment, Holmes recalled the discussion he had just had with Chen Cheng at his house about how to be an official.
Now, there is no need to think about it. Their private mobilization of troops is absolutely dangerous.
According to his previous way of dealing with things, he should hide in the mansion at this time and wait for the development of things.
But Chen Cheng's subsequent words also touched him. Chen Cheng could have such a good plan, but the implementer of this plan could definitely not be Chen Cheng.
And now the only thing I can think of is him as the prime minister.
If he could come up with a system of selecting officials like the one Chen Cheng mentioned in the last few years of his life, he would become the prime minister praised by wandering poets.
The premise of all this is that the king in office and his successors will support the establishment of this system.
And now he only sees this possibility in Huidun.
He, Holmes, is a greedy man. Decades ago, his greed made him bet on the current Moss XIII, which led to his supreme power in the future.
Now that he is in his twilight years and needs to leave a good reputation after his death, Chen Cheng has offered him another solution, and he only needs to take another gamble as he did decades ago.
Holmes gritted his teeth, then took out an imperial edict from his sleeve.
Soran saw what he took out, picked it up and looked at it, then smiled and said:
"Well, you have His Majesty's decree, why didn't you take it out earlier? You made me worry for nothing."
However, Holmes's expression did not improve, and he urged:
"Now that we have the decree, let's act immediately. I'm afraid if we wait too long, it will be too late."
Soran nodded repeatedly, then took out his Marquis' seal and was about to stamp it, interlocking it with the King's seal above.
Because only in this way can this decree take effect.
It can be said that the seals on this decree are extremely special, and they are all encrypted using magical means.
However, when he put the seal down, he didn't feel any sympathy at all, he just saw the two seals merge.
But Holmes did not give him time to react, he took back the decree, and then quickly walked out of the house and said:
"It's almost too late, hurry up."
At this time, Soran had no idea that the decree was not an imperial edict at all, but was forged by Holmes. However, it now had his seal on it, and the subsequent general seals could interact with his seal. It could be said that the decree had changed from a fake to a real one.
However, Soran did not blame Holmes at this time. At most, he would be stripped of his title of Marquis, which would be a good opportunity for him to follow his boy to try out the new artillery.
The war horses rumbled in the heavy rain towards the garrison troops in the royal capital. When the controlled officers saw the imperial edict, they quickly assembled the troops in the camp after verification and began to form a part of the Hun Tian army as they had practiced.
At this time, thunder crackled in the palace. Jin Mu looked at the sky outside the palace and said:
"Look, Father, the situation has truly come to fruition. It has truly come to fruition. My Kingdom of Moss is about to welcome a true demigod."
At this time, Moss XIII closed his eyes, while Huidun stared at the sky outside the palace in a daze.
Although he couldn't see the situation, he knew from the expressions of his father and others in the hall that Jin Mu was not lying.
So he was kept in the dark about all this.
At this time, Jin Mu looked at Huidun and said:
"A bastard is a bastard. You don't realize you're just a pawn of ours, do you? Those lowly soldiers really think they've turned from evil to good. You're just a bunch of pawns we can manipulate at will."
At this moment, Huidun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
He threw a punch, knocking Jin Mu, who was sitting on the chair, to the ground, and then rode on him and kept punching him.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from outside the palace:
"Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Chen Cheng shook off the rain on his body and asked Huidun curiously.
