Chapter 327
Jinkang City Wangjiang Restaurant is on the bank of Jinkang River, and it is a time-honored restaurant in Jinkang.

Zhu Datong was thin, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he wore a gorgeous tuxedo, no matter how you looked at it, it seemed a bit like wearing a monkey's crown.

But Jinkang County Governor Zhang and other local officials surrounded and praised him, and he was also in a good mood with a smile on his face.

Although Lu Ming was sitting next to him, Governor Zhang and the others were very enthusiastic about him, but that was all.

In this peaceful age, and the legal framework of the kingdom, the status of soldiers is very low.

Not to mention that even if the rank of general is linked to the administrative rank, the rank of division brigade commander is not much different from that of Zhu Datong, the deputy commissioner of the city administration. .

Lu Ming didn't speak much, he was a little absent-minded.

I was still thinking about the phone call from sister Windsor late last night.

In the middle of the night, the phone call even made Jin Kang want to find himself, which shows the importance of this call.

But it happened that Miss Windsor talked about him and gossiped for a long time.

She couldn't sleep most of the night, and she wanted to find someone to chat with.

A lot of words, and can't talk to the people around me.

Therefore, as I talked, I gradually understood.

The emperor's health was extremely bad, and he entered the hospital again. Before entering the hospital, he revealed his intention to make the eldest son the crown prince.

In this case, Her Royal Highness, the princess supported by the elder sister of Windsor, must have no hope.

And not only that, Miss Windsor also said that there has been a change in the Royal Guard Corps, probably because the second prince is very unconvinced.

The second prince and the first prince are not from the same mother, the second prince's mother is from Sonia.

Sonia is one of the main ethnic groups of Westerners. This group has a tradition of martial arts, is brave and good at fighting, and is extremely xenophobic. It is distributed in several states in the far west, and many generals in the Royal Guards are Sonia.

From the news that the great emperor wants to clarify the crown prince, the emperor is afraid that it will become a powder keg.

In this regard, Miss Windsor probably suddenly felt very powerless, because the political situation changed too fast, and the old emperor's health was getting worse day by day.

The political group that supports the princess probably does not have any military power. The empire has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and major political crises have always been resolved through the cooperation and compromise of the parties. At worst, there is a referendum, but this time it is very different.

Ms. Windsor said more pessimistically that since the industrial revolution 200 years ago, the empire has undergone too many changes, many old traditions are out of date, and there are more and more conflicts among the various ethnic groups of the Griffinians, mainly because of technology. Development has changed various economic models, causing earth-shaking changes in the lives of various ethnic groups. Some rich states have become poor states, and once barren lands have now become industrial and commercial towns, etc., which naturally aroused great hatred. During the period, the lifestyle gap between different classes of people in the state became wider and wider, and various contradictions have accumulated until today.

There are also some ethnic groups with increasingly serious and extreme xenophobia, and the Sophia is one of them.

The states of Sofia were originally a land of fish and rice, which was extremely rich, but now it has become a land of extreme poverty.

The Geders, a feuding ethnic group in several adjacent states, were originally a poor area, but they have become a wealthy state with extremely developed commerce and trade.

The militias on both sides have clashed more than once.

And so on, there are countless contradictions in the empire.

It is very likely that this battle for the throne is also a major outbreak of all the accumulated contradictions.

Ms. Windsor said pessimistically that this old empire would have to go through a bloody baptism, so that after the fierce conflict, the social order could find a new balance.

Sipping tea and pondering what Old Sister Windsor said, Lu Ming sighed softly in his heart, never thought that Old Sister Windsor had such insight.

Using the previous life as an example, it is true that the various contradictions in the empire are hard to return, and I am afraid that it will not be able to stand until it is broken. In this way, a new social order will be formed.

Especially under the federal system of the empire, even under the rule of the federations, even the kingdom of Griffinian, the cornerstone of the empire, is based on the inheritance of feudalism. The states, provinces, etc. that evolved from the lords' territories have great autonomy. As for the Kingdom of Yingzhou , the four provinces of the Northern Territory, etc., there are many warlords.

It is already a miracle that the empire can be maintained until now.

It is probably precisely because of the great autonomy given to various regions that the forces of all parties can barely maintain this ancient imperial federal system.

And now the people of insight at the highest level, such as Miss Windsor, are probably a little pessimistic about maintaining the unity of the empire, even if this unity is originally a formality.

Just as Lu Ming was thinking about it, the applause in the private room suddenly became enthusiastic.

However, a few dancers came in to perform dances, and everyone cheered. Zhu Datong's eyes were straightened.

Lu Ming was frowning, and next to him, a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks approached with a smile, he was simply the small Zhu Datong.

Holding the wine glass, he smiled, "Commissioner Lu, I offer you a toast. I am Li Shixing. You should have heard of it."

Lu Ming asked who you are, Yu Luan took a step behind him, and whispered in Lu Ming's ear: "Master, Zhu Datong's brother-in-law is called Li Shixing."

Suddenly, Lu Ming glanced back at Yu Luan and nodded inwardly. The little girl is getting smarter and smarter. It seems that when she talks to people, she probably won't care about some unimportant information, so she will help her. remember.

Li Shixing's greedy eyes turned around Yuluan, who was beautiful and delicate in snow-white clothes, and lost his mind, he forgot about coming to toast.

In fact, according to common sense, he is not qualified to come to Lu Ming's table to toast, since his brother-in-law suddenly gained power, which made him feel ecstatic.

"Li Shixing, right?" Lu Ming looked at him.

Li Shixing returned to his senses, smiled and said, "Yes."

"I don't drink." Lu Ming nodded to him, and looked at the dancing girl.

Li Shixing's face immediately turned red, and he became extremely ugly again. He looked left and right, but no one seemed to notice him, so he retreated angrily, returned to the seat in the far row, and gave Lu Ming an even more vicious look.

Lu Ming picked up his teacup and entertained himself.

He turned a blind eye to Zhu Datong, who was over there surrounded by stars, and his own table seat deserted.

Suddenly, two petite figures hurried in outside, both covered their bodies with cloaks, quickly came behind Lu Ming, and handed a small note to Yu Luan.

Yuluan took two steps forward: "Master, the emperor calls urgently."

Lu Ming took a look at it, and was startled suddenly. There were eight words on it, "The coup in the imperial capital, the details are unknown."

No way, come so soon?

However, Miss Windsor has already heard the news, and those changes can't be concealed from others. If a military coup is really going to happen, it is natural that soldiers should act quickly.

I'm afraid that when the old sister called me, the party who staged the coup took action.

Lu Ming stood up abruptly and walked out, Yuluan, Heitou and other followers hurriedly followed.

Zhu Datong, who was sitting in the main seat talking and laughing happily, kept looking at Lu Ming out of the corner of his eye. At this time, he saw Lu Ming get up suddenly and leave without saying hello, and Lu Ming's expression was also very unnatural.Zhu Datong couldn't help but sneered with disdain, and muttered, "It won't be a big deal, and the hair hasn't even grown yet!"

Governor Zhang and other local officials were also stunned when they saw Commissioner Lu "angrily" leaving the venue. It can be seen that Zhu Datong kept his face, so they could only ignore it and ignore it.

……

An extremely compact tile-roofed courtyard house.

Beside the telephone in the main room, Lu Ming was pacing slowly.

I called Christine but couldn't find her. She was probably studying and judging the situation in the imperial capital with my father and other dignitaries in the East China Sea.

My intelligence, no matter what, must be a few steps behind her.

It is even more impossible to get through to the elder sister Windsor. It is possible that the external communication of the imperial capital has been completely cut off.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Soon, Hu Dingshan's loud voice sounded, "Hey, who is it?!"

"I, Lu Ming, listen to me, a coup has taken place in the imperial capital."

"What?!" Hu Dingshan over there was obviously taken aback.

"The news is true. Moreover, the communication in the imperial capital has been cut off. The situation is very serious."

"This..." Hu Dingshan was stunned for a while, "Then what should we do?" He was stunned again, "Will you be implicated?"

Lu Ming frowned: "You don't have any ideas? We are soldiers in such a huge crisis?"

"Thoughts?" Hu Dingshan was even more surprised, "You don't know how? Do you want to go to King Qin?"

Lu Ming just wanted to smash his skull, King Qin?What work?As soon as they leave Jiangning, they are afraid that they will be encircled and suppressed.

Reluctantly said: "The coup in the imperial capital, this is an unprecedented crisis in the empire for thousands of years, we have to do something, I should be more informed than Governor Chakson, you should report this matter to Governor Chakson now. How about it , I will draft a draft and send it to you. You sign it. It is a joint telegram between the two of us. While reporting to Governor Chakson, I also ask the Governor to prepare for the next response. No matter what the situation in the imperial capital is, Jiangning cannot be chaotic Right? So, we must plan ahead, and we should be prepared before the news spreads to the people and causes panic."

"Especially in Heishan, Jiangbei is always eyeing. The imperial capital is in such a mess. We are abandoned babies. We must be fully prepared."

"In the joint call we sent to Governor Chakson, we also asked Governor Chakson to agree to implement military control in Montenegro."

"It's best for you to go there yourself and lobby for this matter."

Hu Dingshan was probably taken aback when he heard that, "What do you mean by military control?"

"It means that all affairs are managed by the military, whether it is government affairs or the economy, in Montenegro, it is handed over to our Montenegro brigade."

"Only if we implement military control immediately, when the terrible news comes, we can avoid causing panic among the people. Moreover, we can also deter Jiangbei and let Jiangbei know that we are on guard."

"In this way, after we send a telegram to Governor Chakson, we will immediately hold a conference call for officers above the company level, and I will talk to everyone!"

Hearing the meaning of military control, Hu Dingshan suddenly became excited, "Is this okay? Isn't this Jiangbei..." Maybe he wanted to say that this is the way Jiangbei warlords do it?But then he swallowed back, "Okay, for the peace of the hundreds of thousands of people in Montenegro, as soldiers, we will naturally do our part."

Lu Ming nodded, "It won't take a few minutes until I fax you my signed telegram."

"Don't worry, I know, I'll just wait and race against time to do this!" Hu Dingshan seemed to pat his head, "The coup d'etat in the imperial capital, this, what do you mean..." Probably still confused, confused Those who are circled can no longer be blinded.

Putting down the phone, Lu Ming pushed open the window and looked towards the direction of the imperial capital in the south, but this is a mountain city, and there are many shadows of mountains in the distance, and there is a haze.

Although it is known that the battle for the throne in the imperial capital is becoming more and more fierce, it is unexpected that it has suddenly deteriorated to this level.

It is conceivable that if everyone knows that a coup d'etat is likely to happen, then the coup d'etat will definitely not happen.

The second prince's side was also really decisive, catching everyone by surprise.
