Law of the Devil

Chapter VIII Chapter [Replacement Emperor] (I)

Du Wei thinks this is not a smart idea, and the risk is too great!

Although Old Augustin VI has withdrawn from the power center for more than two years, there are still many people who will pay attention to him: including the temple!

It is conceivable that if the death of Augustine VI was swiftly passed out, then the most natural thing to clap is that Pope Paul XVI is not because of the six worlds of Paul Sixteen. Only as long as the old emperor died, then according to the habits of most people, the Regent King should logically inherit the throne and crown him as the new emperor of the empire.

On the church side, I must expect to see an emperor who called the Pope the "Godfather"! Just imagine that in some grand public occasions, as the Emperor Supreme's Supreme Emperor, he bowed to Paul XVI and bowed his respectfully to his "Godfather". Such a scene is definitely a big victory. ! For the royal family, the meaning is not just that it is as simple as losing face.

According to Chen’s previous practice, every about a month or so, he would arrange for Augustine VI to make a public appearance, such as attending a decision-making meeting in a court, or attending a reviewing ceremony.

In fact, since the prince of Chen held the christening ceremony to inspire the church, accepting the baptism of the pope at the ceremony, and praising the pope as the godfather, there have been some unsuccessful voices in the church recently: I hope that the Regent King will be crowned as soon as possible!

For those gods, they are eager to see a "teacher" emperor, not a "teacher" regent. Many people have been dissatisfied with the emperor for the late emperor, and there have been some impatient slogans: Anyway, the power is already in the grip, and the old emperor has retired to the second line. Why do you not twist it? !

And in the occasion of some religious prayers. Some people inside the church have already conveyed some hints to the Emperor Chen, and hope that Chen Huangzi can fulfill the original promise as soon as possible.

"I didn't expect to use a substitute to hide the power of the entire emperor forever, but we can still get some time in the short term." Chen's voice is very light, but Du Wei noticed. His word is "we".

Obviously, Du Wei has received a clear message: Until now, he has been the most trusted person of this young king.

Du Wei sighed.

"Three days." Chen Huangzi said faintly: "Three days later is the annual 'Qingfeng Festival', I arranged an open prayer ceremony, which is the last grand banquet held in the palace before the New Year. On the occasion, I will let the 'Father's Emperor' publicly appear once. Then... we can get two months, I will announce the father's physical discomfort, and let him live in a simple way. For a long time, he didn't have to appear."

Du Wei sighed, which seems to be a way out.

After all, this incident happened too suddenly, disrupting the previous plan, in just a few days. It's really hard to think of a proper solution.

"But." Du Wei reminded: "On the banquet of Qingfeng Festival, almost all the emperors of the emperor will participate, and the old guys are all with the emperor's life, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will see any flaws. Your Highness. You should know better than me that once this kind of thing leaks out, it is a big scandal!" His tone is very serious: "I must ask your heart: Do you really want to be crowned as an emperor?"

The voice of Chen Huangzi is very determined: "My mind decided very early... I mean Charlie!"

"But Charlie is only ten years old. He won't grow up in two or three months." Du Wei sighed: "And this substitute. It can only give us two or three months. Three months later. How do we think of a reason for everyone to be convinced, to pass the throne to Prince Charles?" Du Wei shook his head: "Your Highness, you are worthy of youth, and you are a ten-year-old. The child is the emperor and he is your son. This kind of practice, I am afraid it will be opposed by everyone."

The dialogue between Du Wei and Chen Huangzi did not take advantage of the "replacement." In fact, this guy has been sitting on the bed in a fierce battle, his face full of fear of watching Du Wei and Chen Huangzi.

Before the prince of Chen left. However, he left Duwei here, and he handed Duwei a task: to teach the ceremonial etiquette that the avatar should be paid after three days.

Although Du Wei is not a court etiquette, after all, this thing is too secret! Chen Huangzi is not willing to let more people know about the substitute...

Moreover, on the night of the death of the old emperor, the Regent immediately did not hesitate to put all the waiters, servants, court ladies and court guards in the palace. All are secretly executed!

It also included six court doctors who treated the emperor.

It is announced to the outside world. Because a careless court doctor and a court magic pharmacist communicated a dangerous magical agent, accidentally caused a poison leak. The result was an unfortunate accident that caused several court doctors and waiters to die in this misfortune...

Du Wei didn't think much about this weird task. After all, now one less person can know that there is less chance of leaking.

Before Chen’s departure, he suddenly looked at Du Wei and said a weird word: “As far as I know, you should be a very good master of camouflage. You have a superb ability to disguise a person.”

After that, he didn't seem to have any other meaning, so he turned and left.

Du Wei sighed and watched Chen Huangzi walk out of the palace.

No one has been guarded outside the palace. After the death of the original batch of guards, the Emperor Chen ordered that "the emperor's future living guards should be handed over to the court magician to take responsibility."

At present, there are only two servants in charge of the service in this palace. They are the confidants of Chen’s absolute trust, and none of the outside guards have been replaced by a group of court magicians who are guarded in the dark.

Looking at the empty hall, Du Wei's eyes fell on this poor substitute.

In fact, the appearance of this guy is indeed similar to the old emperor. And after some special handling and makeup, it's hard to see what's going on in the dimly lit places.

However, if it seems to be familiar with the old emperor, in public, it is easy to see the flaws, and the tone of a person's voice, voice. Intonation, some subtle movements, it is difficult to grasp one by one to be perfect.

This avatar is obviously found temporarily, and he is in a treacherous manner. There is really no way to empathize with the old Augustine VI. Although it is not a good emperor, but when he has dominated the mainland for a lifetime, the emperor’s ceremonial spirits still have some .

Moreover, Du Wei is very clear: after two days of the banquet. The result of waiting for this poor substitute is also obvious: destroy the mouth!

But now these troublesome things can't think of an answer for a while.

Du Weixian began to get busy. He took out the storage ring that he carried with him and took out some of the medicines stored in it, just in front of this "stand-in". Play with these bottles and cans.

Watching Du Weifei fiddle with these magic potions, watching the screaming potion drugs, this substitute is obviously more afraid.

His trembling voice suddenly caught up with courage. Pleading to Du Wei: "Please, don't, don't kill me... I..."

"I won't kill you." Du Wei tried to make his voice softer. After all, this guy is also an innocent poor man. Politics is like this.

He said, he handed over a bottle of good medicine: "Drink it, the taste will be very bitter, don't spit it out. Then you can sleep well."

The last sentence of "sleeping up" probably caused the poor old man to misunderstand. He suddenly jumped out of bed. Plopping in front of Du Wei, grabbing Du Wei's pants and pleading: "I beg you, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

Du Wei pulled him up and took a closer look to find out that this guy was not an "elder" at all, and he was only about forty years old. It’s just obvious that the Emperor’s men had already made some simple makeup on him, and the wrinkles on his face were obviously drawn...

Du Wei’s heart is even more difficult to make such a rough makeup. I want to marry those old courtiers who have followed the old emperor for decades... It’s impossible!

"I am not going to kill you." Du Wei grabbed the man's collar. Lift him up and try to swear in a foul voice: "I think you should not be an idiot! You should probably understand what we need you to do! Right?"

The man's body shakes away. But nodded.

"Very good." Du Wei said coldly: "Then you should also understand that this thing must not be leaked out! So, you worry that you will be ruined in the end, right?"

"...Yes." The man's face was desperate. He trembled: "Adults... I, I, I am just a tailor, a tailor who used to tailor the body... I didn't know why the Regent was some night. Suddenly caught me here... I, I don’t know anything..."

He looked at Du Wei poorly, his voice stuttering, and when he spoke, his teeth were fighting.

"Oh? Are you a court tailor?" Du Wei's eyes lit up: "Have you tailored the old emperor before? It would be much easier. You have seen the squatting at a close distance, then you should also know what you are doing." Some moves and habits, right."

"I...I..." His teeth squeaked and he couldn't speak.

Du Wei grabbed his chin and looked at him carefully on his face.

He had seen the old emperor several times, and then he took a pen directly from his arms and painted it on both sides of the cheek of this guy.

The muscles on this man's face shook very badly, but they finally did not dare to struggle. In the end, they closed their eyes and left tears in their eyes.

Du Wei sighed and his tone was more intimate: "Tell me, what is your name?"

"Grum, adult, my name is Grum."

"Well, Grum." Du Wei seemed to smile: "Do you have a family?"

"There are...some adults." Grum shouted: "I have a wife and two daughters..."

"Well, are they in the capital?"

"No, adults, they are not." After Grum said a few words, the voice was smoother: "After the last two years of coup, I was afraid of it, worried that this would happen again in the future, and then simply sent them. Going back to my hometown."

"Where is your hometown?" Du Wei casually drew a few strokes on his face, as if casually asked.

"South, Lille province, adults... my hometown is in Lille."

"Oh, I have been to that place. Lille province is in the south of the Luolin Plain of our Luolin family." Du Wei smiled very peacefully: "I have been to the half-corner city, I have encountered some interesting things there. Things. Well, do you know the half-angle city?"

"I, I know, adults..." Grum seems to be less nervous. The Duke of Tulips seems to be very approachable and very amiable. The hope of his life is a little more: "Half-corner city... my The hometown is not far from the half-angle city."

Du Wei smiled and said: "My wife and I met for the first time outside the half-corner city. Oh, I also blackmailed her for that time. At that time she was still a little girl who was not sensible. Well, what about you? Grum, tell me, what is your wife and daughter?"
