Chapter 99 The Coup Plot
After determining the policy, various departments began to act.And sent a special envoy to Hungary to make friends and persuade Hungary to send troops.

Regarding the division of Serbia, Hungary will take the lead, Wallachia will be a little bit wronged, and let's take a little bit of Macedonia.

Mircea continued to train the army. He established an arsenal from which all weapons and equipment were allocated and distributed, and he personally trained the army.

In the composition of the small army, in addition to the usual recruits, there are also noble private soldiers and children of minor nobles who have been recruited.They were the main source of officers and heavy cavalry.

Although Mircea's reforms were beneficial to Wallachia, some boyars were ready to overthrow the Grand Duke and defend their own interests.

"Our family has followed several grand dukes, worked hard and fought hard, but the grand duke wanted to squeeze us out for his son."

"That's right, the Grand Duke wants to clear all the heroes of Wallachia. This is too heartless and ungrateful."

In one room, a dozen boyars were discussing a coup.They planned to overthrow the Grand Duke Mircea and install another Boyardan as Grand Duke.

They are all boyars who own the most land in Wallachia, and they are also the descendants of heroes who followed the Grand Duke Basarabu to lead Wallachia to independence.In the past few decades, they have married each other and formed a huge group of heroes.They have their own army and control most of the wealth, and they are the local powerful.

It's just that after Mircea succeeded to the throne, everything has changed.Whether it is encouraging the economy or improving the army, this is normal, especially when the Grand Duke led the army to repel Ottoman and gained high prestige.But in the process of conquest, some people were canonized as boyars and entered the boyar meeting.These people, like them, sit in the conference hall and compete with them for political power, and their right to speak begins to decline.

What's more, in codification, some mud legs also entered the meeting.Although they had already gone to another hall to meet, they still had a premonition of crisis.The Grand Duke is going to wipe them out completely.

Since they are not benevolent, don't blame us for being unrighteous.A conspiracy began to emerge, and the power struggle began to heat up.

In fact, Grand Duke Mircea had already begun to carry out orderly reductions against these people.They dealt with a group of treason charges, set up provinces in the local area, and promoted a large number of minor nobles.These are Mircea's tricks.

What's more terrible is that part of the military expenses used by Mircea's small army was forcibly apportioned through them.Many soldiers were also trained by them, and this was also drawn from both ends. As a result, Boyar lost all confidence.

Although Mircea offered financial compensation, they dismissed it. They felt that only the land was good, and other benefits were invisible and intangible. What if they disappeared.

So, they hugged each other.With the goal of safeguarding one's own interests and restoring the original state, overthrow the government and negotiate peace with foreign enemies when necessary.

"Everyone, our goal is very clear. That is to restore the glory and tradition of Wallachia, expel all heretics, and of course safeguard the interests of the old family."

As the eldest boyar, Abraham's words carried great weight.With his lead, the others quickly agreed to the goal and began to make plans.

In their plan, they first instigated a riot within the small army, and then they took the opportunity to lead their privately recruited soldiers to the Grand Duke's mansion to force Mircea to restore the tradition, or kill him if he refused.Well, the plan was perfect.

Everyone agreed to launch it at a special time, and everyone had to keep it secret.Everyone can't leak it, or they will attack it in groups.

This kind of work can be regarded as a medium-level plan, but it is obvious that they ignored Peter.They still couldn't see the lord's energy.

Asen rode back to his home. The so-called home was just a few houses and some land.Due to the profligacy of his ancestors, he declined in his generation.

And he also likes to gamble, but basically he loses more and wins less.This makes the already small property even tighter.

A handful of servants lead his horses and dress him, and his steward reports to him a visitor.

"Who's here?"

"Master, you should go and see for yourself."

A Sen was very dissatisfied by this inexplicable tone, he wanted to see who was such a big name.

He strode towards the living room and found a young man sitting on a chair with a middle-aged man standing beside him.When he saw the young man's face, his face paled instantly.

"I have seen the co-rulers of Wallachia, and your kindness and reputation are known to everyone."

"Don't be nervous, I'm here today to talk to you about something."

Arsen became more nervous by Peter's words. What did he want to talk about? Could it be that the organization he joined was discovered?
"My residence is a bit shabby, I hope His Highness will not dislike it."

"No, I understand."

Peter looked at the paintings in the living room, talking as he walked.

"If you could gamble a little less, your life should be different."

Asen looked at Peter in horror, and the person next to him took the paper and started reading.

"I lost 460 lei in a bet with a Genoese merchant, 680 lei in Venice, 250 lei with Count Adam..."

All of them add up to almost 2000 lei, which is a huge sum of money.Asen really likes to gamble.

"That's a lot, can't you restrain yourself a little?"

"Forgive me, Your Highness. I have already restrained myself, but I still can't change it. In order to pay back the money, I sold everything I could, but it was still not enough."

"Oh, so you're ready to join Abraham and the others just because they promised you to pay off the debt?"

As soon as he heard this, Asen was so frightened that he knelt down.

"Your Highness, I'm just an ignorant person. They didn't bring me along for the specific incident."

"You still want to join!!!" Peter snapped.

At this time, Asen could only beg Peter to spare his life. He still has a wife and children.He didn't want to die yet.

"I beg Your Highness to spare my life, Your Highness to spare my life..."

Peter slowly bent down and stared at Asen.Those eyes seemed to swallow each other in one gulp.

"Since you want to live so much, then do something for me!"

"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I will also repay your debts, and there are 100 serfs and some land."

Peter paid Asen, and now, he has no way out.

"Your Highness, Abraham and the others are plotting a coup."

Asen told their plan verbatim, Peter even wanted to laugh, these people, do you think Wallachia can be controlled by them, no.

"In this case, let's play with them." Peter said, the expression on his face became more and more ferocious, and he had to stay away from the devil when he came.
