Chapter 1141: Struggle for Power and Profit (I)

The Oros Hunting Grounds, a royal hunting ground with a long history, are also famous for giving birth to a great monarch.

It was here that Harrison was appointed to become the supreme ruler of the country, and in the face of internal and external troubles, he used perseverance and perseverance to sweep away all enemies, and finally earned the majestic nickname "The Lion".

Of course, as the place of his own fame, he was quite fond of the Oros hunting grounds, and even in his later years, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, hired the best designers in the whole continent, and trimmed a palace near the mountain cliff, and the marble, precious metals and precious stones used up to hundreds of thousands of gold coins, half of the annual financial tax revenue of the state on the express.

However, as a regional hegemon, he naturally does not need to pay this money himself, but forces those small countries that submit to pay tribute.

Now, three years after the completion of this exquisite and gorgeous palace, the walls are densely crawled with vines, and the roses blooming on the vines, plus all kinds of unnamed birds standing on the branches chirping, even if you are depressed and depressed, you will slowly become cheerful when you see this.

But unfortunately, no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery at the moment.

Because just a few hours earlier, during the hunt, Harrison had been struck by a crossbow arrow that had been shot from a tree, and the arrow was visibly smeared with terrible toxins, causing him to fall into a deep unconscious coma in just a few minutes.

You must know that with the absolute authority that has been established over the years, the whole country simply cannot find a second person who can convince the public in a short period of time and keep the political situation stable.

Whether it was the ministers who seemed to be in high power, or the generals who held armies, or the princes who had high succession rights, they only gained authority with his permission.

But now, he has lost the ability to give orders, and the seemingly powerful country is suddenly shrouded in a cloud of chaos and war.

Especially those guys who are secretly connected have already sent the news out as soon as possible, so that the prince or princess they support is ready.

The throne is never something that can be done casually.

Whether it is a normal or abnormal alternation of rights, it is inevitably accompanied by killing and bloodshed.

The only difference is that the normal alternation of rights losers basically has no room for resistance, and can only honestly wait for fate to come.

In contrast, there are a lot of tricks to play with the abnormal alternation of rights, and sometimes the one who wins the final victory is often the most inconspicuous one at the beginning.

"How is it? Is Your Majesty's body still holding up, and how long does it take to wake up?"

Looking at the healer who came out of the bedroom, the elderly prime minister was the first to stand up and hold the arm, asking nervously.

There's no way not to be nervous!

He's Harrison's best friend.

The two went through the most difficult period together, so no matter how much turmoil the domestic political situation occurred, his position above 10,000 people under one person has never changed.

Even the eldest son of the king, who had the right to inherit the first line, maintained a considerable degree of awe.

If Harrison were still alive, this power could naturally bring unimaginable benefits, but if he died suddenly, then this power would disappear like a mirage in an instant.

Not only will it disappear, but it will also bring death if it is not done well.

After all, he has offended too many people over the years, and there are many powerful princes among them.

If the old lion really can't do it, then he will start to take advantage of the fact that the situation is not completely out of control, and take the lead in finding a prince to cooperate, and ensure that in the next few years or even ten years, he will still be the prime minister of the empire under one person and above ten thousand people.

As for who Harrison intended to take over his shift, it didn't matter at all.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's situation does not allow for objectivity. The Assassins were insidious, using an alchemical toxin called Arclight, which invaded the bloodstream and caused the wounded to fall into an illusion from which they could not extricate themselves and slowly die. I and several spellcasters have worked together to temporarily stop the further spread of the toxin, and Your Majesty has no worries about his life for the time being. But again, we can't predict when he'll wake up, or if he'll ever wake up. You'd better prepare for the worst and choose a worthy heir for our country. ”

The doctor didn't try to hide anything, didn't dare to hide anything, and told what he knew.

As he finished saying this, he seemed to have unloaded a huge burden, and the whole person became a lot more relaxed.

In contrast, the prime minister seemed to pick up this burden and carry it on his back, so that he was almost out of breath, and nodded with a solemn expression: "Okay, I know, let's go down." Remember, don't reveal your majesty's health to anyone, not even princes and princesses, understand?"

"Understood! ”

The doctor bent down and bowed deeply, then turned and disappeared into the heavily guarded hallway.

However, the prime minister probably did not expect that not long after he left his sight, he quietly came to the entrance of a room, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, and then gently pushed the door open and got in.

Because there were no lights, the room was so dark that it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.

But the doctor did not panic at all, quickly took out the note he had prepared in advance, stuffed it under the pillow cushion at the head of the bed, and then quickly exited the room, pretending that nothing had happened.

After about a few minutes, a dark figure emerged from the cabinet and took the note with great skill.

After a while, he took the note to another room through the secret passage, knelt down on one knee and reported in an extremely excited tone: "Your Highness! Your chance has come! I have just received news that Your Majesty has been poisoned, and I am afraid that I will never have a chance to wake up again." At this point, you only need to convince the two generals who accompany you to take control of the court before the other competitors react, and coerce the ministers to forge an edict and ascend to the throne as a matter of course. ”

"Oh, are you sure?" the man who looked to be in his mid-forties turned around, his eyes shining with a terrifying light.

He was none other than Harrison's fourth son, who was also his favorite, and who had always been with him by his side.

But for some reason, he never gave a clear signal to this prince, who was very similar in appearance and personality, and allowed him to compete for power with several other siblings.

"I'm pretty sure! I have paid a lot of money to pay a doctor who specializes in treating His Majesty. And according to the return of the servants, the Prime Minister has sealed off His Majesty's bedroom, and any servants who have entered have never come out again. The black shadow raised his head, his eyes revealing a strong expectation, as if waiting for his master to make a decision.
