GOR Chapter 641 "One Person"
Soon, everyone could feel the change in atmosphere in the capital.
On the day that Prime Minister Robsky died of illness, the Royal Guard stationed in the Imperial Capital received a transfer order.
It was according to Princess Karina's idea that half of the guards would be rotated between each gate. Such a transfer immediately disrupted the original organization. Even if someone wanted to rebel, there was no way to do so.
On the same day, the current Commissioner of Finance and former Commander of the capital's Public Security, Baron Sack, returned to the capital's Public Security. Nominally, he was ordered to calculate the annual salary of the Public Security. But in reality, he brought a group of guards with him. After arriving at the Public Security, he stationed them at the Public Security headquarters.
The commander of the security office was also a smart person, so he obediently cooperated with him.
Following that, the patrols of the Public Security Bureau doubled, and several streets near the Imperial City were under martial law.
The Royal Guards and Public Security were mobilized. With this, everyone knew: Something bad must have happened.
In the Imperial Capital, the spies under the various forces were quickly mobilized. Everyone had noticed that the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. Another piece of news came. It was said that two days ago, someone had seen His Majesty's light cavalry quietly rushing back to the Imperial Capital …
Everything didn't seem to be a good omen.
Finally, the official news came out from the palace: The Regent is seriously ill.
And it seems to be a "serious illness".
Many people began to panic, and some rumors were quickly spread by people with ulterior motives: The Regent has always been in good health, so why did he suddenly say that he couldn't do it? Could it be …
All kinds of rumors spread, causing the morale of the army to be somewhat unstable. Fortunately, the Royal Guards are very loyal to the Royal Family. And with the previous transfer, even if someone wanted to take advantage of the situation, there was no chance.
However, there was still a rumor that spread wildly: This is a coup d 'état! The Regent has been framed!
The people began to panic.
If it is a coup d 'état …
The coup d 'état from a few years ago was still vivid in their minds. After the coup d'état, blood flowed like a river in the square of the Imperial City. After the magic circle was activated, both sides started killing each other in the Imperial City. The Rebel Army and the Royal Army fought everywhere in the city. Many streets were turned into battlefields. Countless civilians were killed or injured. Some streets were even set on fire by the Rebel Army in their desperate struggle.
Back then, during the coup, the number of civilian casualties in the imperial capital had exceeded five digits. No one wanted to experience that tragedy again.
It was to the extent that many citizens were panicking. They dragged their families and prepared to temporarily leave the Imperial Capital to avoid the disaster.
However, the city gate had already issued a curfew! The Imperial Capital was temporarily under control of the city gates. Apart from those large merchant groups who had special permission to enter and exit, as well as some official carriages, commoners were prohibited from leaving or entering the Imperial Capital!
This order filled everyone's hearts with unease.
Coup? Was it really a coup d 'état?
Fortunately, the Royal Regent suddenly made a public appearance at the most critical moment!!
For two consecutive days, the Royal Regent made a public appearance on the city gate tower of the Imperial City. He stood on the city gate tower and loudly read the latest victory reports from the Northern Theater of Operations.
On the first day, many people did not dare to go to the Imperial City Square to watch. However, on the second day, as the news spread, more and more people finally ran to the Imperial City Square. Everyone only had one thought in mind: to see how the Royal Regent was doing.
Everyone was satisfied to see their young monarch standing high on the city gate tower. Looking from afar, his figure was slender and his waist was still straight. When he read the battle reports, his voice was full of energy. Even if they were far away, they could still feel the majestic aura of the Royal Regent!
Therefore, many people were relieved.
After the public appearance on the second day, the Royal Regent personally held the little Emperor Charlie's hand and let him read the last battle report.
(Half of these battle reports are fabricated. At this moment, the situation in the Northern Theater of Operations is basically stable, so where did all these victory reports come from?)
After Little Charlie loudly read the last battle report and gave a few inspiring speeches, Prince Son suddenly took two steps back and bowed deeply to his son!
He is bowing!!!
In front of tens of thousands of eyes, he, the ruler of the empire, finally bowed his head to his son and carried out a public ….. transfer of power!!
A lot of people were shocked. Because in most people's hearts, although Prince Son only has the title of Royal Regent in name, everyone actually sees him as the Emperor.
This was a different kind of ceremony for the transfer of power. There was no solemn ceremony, no guard of honor, and no sacrifice. It was just a bow in front of tens of thousands of eyes.
Prince Son, with his own actions, silently handed over the highest authority of the empire to his son.
— — —
Subsequently, in the afternoon and evening of the same day, some of the influential figures in the imperial capital received a summons from the palace to have an audience with the Royal Regent.
It was different from the previous meetings. This time, they were summoned one by one. Moreover, most of the people who were summoned were the Regent's trusted subordinates who had been promoted by him!
Military Minister Camisiro. Financial Minister. Military Logistics Minister Delanshan Demonic Beast. And then there was Count Biliaibuer, who was in charge of the empire's commerce, and so on. These big shots who were branded as part of the "Chen faction" headed to the palace one by one to have an audience with Prince Son. No one knew what the Royal Regent said to these people.
It's just that after having a private meeting with Prince Son, these people immediately returned to their own mansions and did the same thing: close the doors and refuse to receive any guests!
Then, after Prince Son finished meeting with all of his direct subordinates, he began the second round of summons.
The second round of summons wasn't a direct descendant of the Chen faction, but rather some of the "non-Chen faction" officials and military officers with real power in the imperial capital.
Although these people weren't the top of the line, many of them still held some important power in their hands. About a hundred people were summoned into the palace, but they weren't received by Prince Son.
Instead, these people were all taken to a palace in the imperial capital and were immediately monitored by several teams of imperial guards!
Prince Son sent someone to inform these people. The meaning was very clear: Stay here obediently, there's nothing for you to do.
Some of the military officers who were summoned were uncouth and uncouth. Seeing this scene, they were immediately dissatisfied and began to shout: The Royal Regent summoned us. Is he going to put us under house arrest?!
But then, some of the smarter people next to them reminded their colleagues: Don't worry, it's not a bad thing! On the contrary, it's a form of protection for us.
Some people still didn't understand and continued to ask. Those smart people began to sigh: Can't you see? The empire is going to change. Prince Son is going to officially abdicate to the little emperor … …
These people were temporarily placed under "house arrest" in the palace, but there were palace attendants taking care of their meals and drinks. As long as they don't leave this place, it's fine!
Prince Son's request for these people was also very simple: At times like this, gather these important officials and monitor them together. This can be considered an effective method to prevent chaos.
As for whether or not there will be dissatisfaction: Smart people should know this is a good thing. If they were idiots … then there would naturally be palace attendants who would take care of these people secretly recording them. Those people were idiots who would never stop yelling. In the future, his son would naturally slowly replace these idiots.

"It's the fifth day."
Prince Son was sitting in his study room.
On that day, after he took the so-called "strong medicine" concocted by the palace's chief mage, his body immediately "recovered" in a short period of time!
It was as if he had regained his youth and vitality. The pain in his body quickly disappeared without a trace. The feeling of being full of vitality was as if there was a youth flame burning in his body. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was 20 years old.
However, he understood that this was at the cost of using the magic potion to burn his remaining vitality!
Seven days! He only had seven short days. Within these seven days, he completed one task after another at lightning speed!
Appeasing the people, summoning the direct line of descent, supervising the non-direct line of descent, mobilizing the army, mobilizing the public security, mobilizing the royal guards … …
He returned to the place where he used to work day and night: the study room.
Since he became the regent, the time he spent in the study room has far exceeded the time he spent in his bedroom! Sometimes, he even forgot what his bedroom looked like.
Sitting in the study room, Prince Son placed down a stack of official documents in front of him: These are some of the state affairs that he personally signed – this can be considered as the last state affairs.
The difference is that compared to the past, these documents are no longer signed by him alone, but by Charlie's name.
This is a signal to the world: Little Emperor Charlie has officially begun to take over the throne!
"The time is still too short." Prince Son bitterly smiled.
Now that there's no longer any pain in his body, he's very clear that this is his last moment.
Once the seven days are up … … It will be an eternal sleep.
"What else can I do with the rest of the time? Sigh … … Time, time … … "
One thing after another kept popping up in his mind. The closer he got to the end, the more he wished he could do more. As if he couldn't wait to use the remaining time to pave the way for his son.
"The time is too short, too short." Prince Son helplessly sighed.
He originally thought he still had a year or more to live. But he didn't expect the deterioration of his physical condition to far exceed his expectations.
This time, the reason why he let little Charlie go to the frontlines to reward the army was to use this as a start. After that, he would slowly let Charlie come into contact with some government affairs. Through a year, he would familiarize him with the process.
Unfortunately, he doesn't even have a year left to live!
God, are you deliberately causing trouble for my Augustine Family? Humph … …
Time, time … … Time!
God, if you can give me ten more years, no, five more years … … No, three more years!
As long as you can give me three more years, I can make the Augustine Family's rule as hard as steel!! I will be able to rejuvenate and revitalize this old, lethargic Imperium! I can make this rusty machinery of the country quickly turn around in this war and be reborn!!!
Looking at the documents in front of him, Prince Son suddenly felt tired.
Simply throwing away the quill in his hand, he then pulled the bell next to him.
Around the study room, the palace mages and royal guards were tightly guarding it. In the past few days, Prince Son has been desperately trying to catch up with time without rest.
The little emperor, the little princess, the queen, and even Princess Louise are all waiting for his final summons.
"I still have two more days." Looking at the royal mage coming in through the door, Prince Son muttered to himself: "Go get Charlie … …"
He was about to say 'get Charlie', but he suddenly changed his mind.
In Prince Son's mind, the scene of his son's dazed eyes and his daughter Carina's eyes full of wisdom suddenly emerged.
The contrast was so stark.
"Get Karina here … … Alone."
