The entire Roman Empire could send out such an elite team of thousands of people, and they still took this opportunity to enter the Holy Palace. Naturally, only Prince Theodosius, who was under house arrest by Constans II, was the only one.

As a soldier, especially a soldier with considerable ambitions, Theodosius was naturally unwilling to spend the rest of his life under house arrest. Under the persuasion of Geng Geng's subordinates, he finally decided to respond with a conspiracy. While the meeting was held, he sent an army into the Holy Palace, and then controlled Constance II.

As long as Constans II can be controlled, Theodosius will also have the initiative, and with his prestige, he can directly "force" Constans II to pass the throne to himself, after all Legally speaking, he also has the right to inherit the throne, and he has won the support of a large number of nobles before. At that time, he only needs to promise some benefits to these nobles, so that they can support him to become emperor.

It was precisely this kind of thinking that led to the formation of this elite thousand-man team. In addition, Theodosius also bribed a guard officer in the Holy Palace so that the other party could take this thousand-man team into the Holy Palace. , it turned out that everything went well, and from the moment the Thousands climbed the cliff, Theodosius' plan was half successful.

In the Lamagnol Palace, a fierce debate is going on. For this conference, the Lamagnol Palace has also been rebuilt to form a circular assembly hall. The participating nobles are divided into two sides. On one side is the support faction responding to Constance II, and on the other side is the opposition headed by Theodosius.Capital Datang 704

"Martin I publicly opposed His Majesty's decree and violated the majesty of the Roman emperor. Therefore, it can be judged that he is guilty. If even such a crime can be pardoned, then where is the prestige of our Roman Empire? Where is the majesty of our Roman Emperor? Where is the authority of the law..."

A young and handsome aristocrat stands on the circular podium in the middle, and is delivering an inspiring speech impassionedly.The core of the speech is actually only one, that is, to grasp Martin I's crime of violating the imperial decree, and to support Constance II's previous arrest of Martin I.

Looking at the energetic young nobles on the stage, Constans II's eyes revealed an unusually intoxicated gaze, and finally he bowed his head to his friend Forres next to him. He asked, "Forres, what is this young man's name?"

"Your Majesty, this young man's name is Urimo, the nephew of the diplomat His Excellency Ciro, and he is now learning some diplomatic matters from his uncle, and I heard that his Chinese is better than his uncle's." God Forres『 Color" said as usual.It's just that there was a hint of ambiguity in the gaze of Ulimo on the stage, because he heard from the tone of Constance II.Hearing that the other party is very interested in Ulimo, this is likely to pose a threat to his status.

Just after Ulimo's speech in support of the arrest of Martin I was over, some opponents immediately stood up and walked onto the podium, but when Constance II saw this person, he couldn't help snorting angrily.Because this person is the great nobleman Cherno who publicly insulted him before.

Cherno is a mighty-looking middle-aged man with a very strong figure, standing there like a brave lion. In fact, he is indeed a heroic general, and he has also participated in the battle against the cannibal. The most famous The most important thing is that he took an army of 2000 men.Defending a weak fortress, repelling tens of thousands of cannibal attacks several times, bought time for the subsequent counterattack.At the same time, this war made Cherno the hero of Rome.Now one of the commanders of four armies stationed in Constantinople.

Cherno walked up to the podium quickly, glanced at the opposite Constance II and others, and immediately spoke: "The great Rome is a free country. God has given us the right to discuss freely. Martin I is the Pope of the Roman Church. Naturally, he has the right to uphold religious teachings. His Majesty forbids discussing the decree of Christ's divinity and humanity. Not only deprives us of the rights given by God, but also violates Martin I As the pope's duty, this obviously goes against the will of God, so I think that His Majesty's previous decree is unreasonable and invalid..."

Chernow is worthy of being a general, his words were full of gunpowder, and at the very beginning of his speech, he aimed at Constans II, and he was also very smart, he did not come from the law at all. To defend Martin I, he started with religion instead, arguing that the decree issued by Constans II violated the will of God, so it was invalid. Martin I objected to the will of God, so not only should he not be punished, Instead, you need to be rewarded.

"I object! I object! Chernow is confusing concepts!" As soon as Chernow's speech ended, Forres, who was beside Constance II, immediately stood up and objected. He is indeed a very smart person. , Seeing through Chernow's trick at once.

It's just that Chernow's speech has already ignited the atmosphere of the scene. As soon as Forres' objection fell, there were opponents to refute him immediately, and then the supporters were not to be outdone, and stood up one after another to express their Opinions, no one even went up to the podium in the middle, they just stood on the seat and quarreled with the people opposite, and this kind of quarrel had a tendency to intensify.

Seeing that the quarrel in front of them was about to get out of control, both Constance II and Theodosius seemed very calm. For Constance II, after Theodosius was placed under house arrest, whether to pardon Martin I? It doesn't matter anymore, now he is thinking about how to deal with his younger brother?As for Theodosius, he was worried about whether his previous plan could be implemented smoothly. Has the elite thousand-man team entered the Holy Palace now?

Just when the two were thinking about each other, but they remained calm on the surface, suddenly there were bursts of screams outside La Magnol Palace, accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing and soldiers calling for help. , This caused the faces of all the nobles in the palace to change, and they all became quiet, or their confused or panicked eyes all focused on the gate of the palace.

Although hundreds of soldiers were mobilized around La Magnol Palace to guard, they were not the opponents of the elite thousand-man team at all, so the fighting outside ended quickly, and then the elite troops lined up to rush forward. Entering the palace, this made all the nobles in the palace feel a kind of pressure.

Seeing the arrival of this army, Theodosius showed an excited smile on his face, and then the leader of this army stepped forward and saluted him: "My subordinates see Your Excellency the Prince!"

"You guys did a great job!" Theodosius stood up at this moment, walked over and patted each other on the shoulder.Seeing this situation, all the nobles present understood what happened. Although they couldn't figure out how this army invaded the Holy Palace, the situation is now very clear. Theodosius actually launched an armed coup, and The situation is now under control.

"Theodosius, you...you actually mobilized the army to attack the Holy Palace without permission?" At this moment, Constans II, who understood, also stood up pale, and the anger in his eyes almost gushed out. In any case, he never thought that Theodosius would have such courage.

"Hahaha~, Your Majesty the Emperor, if you didn't force me repeatedly, I wouldn't use this method. Don't tell me you let me watch the knife rest on my neck, and don't you allow me to resist? Theodosius' laughter was full of complacency, now that the situation has been reversed, the situation is completely in his own hands, Constance II is no longer a threat to him, what he needs now is the support of the nobles present .

"Theodosius, don't be delusional. Do you think that you can become the Emperor of Rome by kidnapping His Majesty? Stop dreaming. We will not allow a usurper to ascend to the throne!" At this moment , Constans II's die-hard supporter Forres shouted again, he also knew that Theodosius would not dare to kill the nobles present, at most he would seek the support of these nobles and then ascend to the throne, so he spoke Shatter his ambition.

But as soon as Forres finished speaking, Cherno, who had been standing behind Theodosius, suddenly took a few steps forward, snatched a Roman dagger from a soldier, and stabbed into Forres's chest. chest, and shouted: "Foris, you incompetent person, it is all because of your incompetence and Constance's incompetence, that's why we lost a large piece of land in Rome, and only Theodosius can lead us to Rome again. Brilliant!" Capital Datang 704

Forresgen didn't expect that someone would attack him on the spot. He only felt a chill in his chest, and then all the strength in his body was disappearing. When he saw the short life in his chest, his face was full of incredible expressions, and then he slowly fell limp On the ground, it caused panic among the surrounding nobles.

Constans II was also frightened and pale. He grew up in the court, and he never thought that anyone would dare to kill in front of his face, and the one who was killed was his closest person. While he was angry, he still felt a kind of fear from the bottom of his heart, and even this fear had overwhelmed the anger, making his whole body tremble uncontrollably.

The same is true for other nobles. Whether they were former supporters or opponents, they did not expect Chernow to kill people in public. Although Forres is usually a little arrogant, he is still a member of the nobles. The nobles felt a little scared, and looked at Theodosius and Cherno with horror.

Seeing this situation, Theodosius knew that his goal of deterrence had been achieved, and he needed to appease these nobles, and at the same time give up certain benefits so that the nobles would give up their support for Constans II and help him become a new king. A Roman emperor.
