At midnight, shortly after the banquet in the palace had dispersed, the whole delegation returned to the residence under the leadership of the prince.

Before he could sit down and catch his breath, a waiter walked in with two mysterious people shrouded in cloaks and said cautiously, "Your Highness, your friend has arrived. ”

"Oh, my friend?" said the prince, with a look of surprise on his face.

Because in the kingdom, he has no friends, and the only one who can be called a friend is ......

"It's me, Your Highness. ”

One of the men took off his hood on his own initiative, and it turned out to be the court nobleman who had led the sedition not long ago.

But now, he has lost his territory and title, and in principle is no different from a commoner.

But those complex relationships that still exist can be kept for a while.

"Ah, it was you, I heard my father mention you, and called you a truly noble and pure nobleman, a hero who was willing to stand up against tyranny and injustice. After figuring out the identity of the other party, the prince immediately put on another face, stood up and praised loudly.

Of course, in his heart, he is actually full of contempt for this despicable person who betrayed his country for power.

After all, those who sell their country in exchange for glory and wealth are out-and-out scum in any era, and some will even be nailed to the pillar of shame in history forever, even if they sincerely take refuge in each other, they will not be reused.

The prince's political literacy is obviously good, and he hides this contempt deep in his heart and does not show it obviously.

On the contrary, he showed the enthusiasm of a prince for his refuge.

"It was a joy and trepidation to hear Harrison the Great's praise. Rest assured, I will not fail his trust and remove that damned usurper from power. The nobles of the court swore an oath.

When the prince heard this, he immediately nodded: "I appreciate your confidence and courage very much. But can you tell us about your plans?"

"No problem, that's what I'm here to see you for. As he spoke, the nobles of the court turned sideways and pointed to the companions who were following him. "This is Baron Marais, a veteran nobleman with great military achievements. Next, he will explain to you what kind of march we will take after raising the banner of righteousness. ”

The guy known as Baron Marais didn't say a word, he took out a map from his bosom and spread it out on the table: "Your Highness, please see, this is Tillsburg, and this is the Bishui River." If we can capture the wharf and block the river within three days, we will cut off two-thirds of the capital's food supply. Think about how angry those civilians are when they don't get enough food?"

"Interesting! you want to threaten Vilia with food?" the prince's eyes lit up.

You must know that on this planet with an extremely backward transportation population, any large city with a population of more than 100,000 people will either be close to the sea and will be transported by sea, or there will be a wide river with a river to complete the transportation, or both, otherwise it will not be able to feed so many urban people who are not engaged in agricultural activities.

Since the most important food producing areas in the kingdom are on both sides of the Bishui River, the grain, vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese and other food consumed in the capital every day are transported by this river to the wharf, and then dispersed from the wharf to various markets to sell.

If the transit terminal near Tillesburg were blocked, the densely populated city would be plunged into famine within a week.

At that time, all rulers with online IQs will choose to compromise rather than take a huge risk of being ousted by an angry populace.

"That's right, to be honest, from a military point of view alone, I can't think of any way to win a head-to-head battle. So this is where strategy comes in. We don't need a battle to win, what we need is to give her a fatal blow in an unexpected place. Since she now wants to curry favor with the untouchables at the bottom, let's show her how they rebel against her rule. Baron Marais grinned, a sinister grin.

He doesn't need to ask to know that he wants to teach Vilia a lesson, so that this stinky little girl understands what is the foundation of the kingdom that is worth relying on, and those low-level people who can be bought with a little favor are not worth relying on at all, and if there is a little wind and grass, these guys will not hesitate to choose betrayal.

"Hahahaha! It seems that our Majesty the Queen is in trouble this time. But I have another question, have you contacted the old king, and will he finally stand up for us and legitimize the coup d'état? After all, my father was an emperor who liked to uphold orthodoxy, and he did not want the glory he had held on all his life to be tarnished in his old age. The prince laughed and said tentatively.

The so-called politics, the knight is to be both a bitch and a torii.

If you just be a bitch and don't set up an archway, you will be looked down upon by others, and you will be regarded as a nouveau riche who lacks foundation, and her appearance is too ugly.

If the memorial arch is not a watch, it is a complete political idiot, and will be ridiculed by everyone for being pedantic, not knowing how to be flexible, and lacking flexible political skills.

Only by taking both into account can a qualified political person have the qualities that a qualified political person should have.

Baron Marais exchanged a look with the court nobles, and quickly responded, "For the sake of secrecy, we have not yet made contact with the old king. But I am sure that when he sees the situation changing, he will not reject our proposal. In any case, he must be responsible for his family, otherwise the kingdom can't change another family to be the royal family, can it?"

"Who are you going to change?" the prince keenly grasped the key word, and an interested expression appeared on his face.

"Naturally, it's you, my Highness. Don't you think that the son of the great Harrison the Great marries the princess of the kingdom and then becomes a prince in the name of the kingdom is the perfect solution? The nobles of the court hinted meaningfully.

"Me?!"

Hearing this, the prince suddenly felt that a flame called ambition was ignited in his heart, exuding unimaginable energy.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to rule the kingdom as a prince and finally put his son on the throne.

Especially away from the father who was keen on power, and decided everything by himself, it was a naked temptation for him......
