Chapter 1153 Before the Storm
Lynch didn't believe that Mr. Truman didn't know what happened. Considering that this was an unsecret public place, he shook his head, "I hope God can bless Gafla, and everything will pass."

Mr. Truman nodded with a smile, "Yes, no matter what kind of disaster it is, it will pass one day."

Not long after, the owner of the restaurant delivered the food for the two of them.

Beef ribs are ribs with bones removed. It is a large piece, weighing about one pound, and its deboning marks can be clearly seen.

The fascia used to tightly wrap the bone has not shrunk completely, leaving a certain space in the middle, which should be the bone that just came off.

There is also a pork sausage on top of the plate, which weighs about half a pound. If you eat at this kind of ordinary roadside restaurant, if the meal cost is not low, then the boss had better give you more.

Ordinary people have only two demands for food, either cheap or full.

This is the kind of restaurant that can fill you up. It's not cheap, but you can eat meat. There is also a market for such restaurants, especially for those who are engaged in labor work.

They need a good meal once in a while too!
Ordinary sauce, ordinary vegetables, and an ordinary but very solid pork sausage, the two of them didn't seem to think that these ingredients were inferior at all, and they ate deliciously.

On the other side of the strait, His Majesty the Emperor of Gefla was standing by the window looking at the stars in the sky.

Today's weather is good, the night sky is full of stars, it is like a curtain in an opera house, behind this darkness there is something bright shining on it, so that those little bits of light can make people feel themselves insignificant.

It was a good night, the wind was mild and the temperature was suitable, but His Majesty the Emperor of Gefla didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of comfort because of it.

His face was ugly, and his eldest son and second son were standing not far behind him.

He still has a daughter, but he didn't come here. After he personally killed those brothers and sisters who threatened him, he understood a truth.

To be an emperor, you don't need to have too many children, and you don't need to give those hopeless people a little bit of hope. It won't make them motivated, it will only destroy them.

So there are only his two sons in the room, but among these two sons, there is also a fool.

The eldest prince looked at his younger brother with some worry, and there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Just now, the second prince actually expressed his belief that the withdrawal of the royal family from the core of power is the inevitable direction of social development.

This completely angered His Majesty the Emperor, and none of those ministers who betrayed him made him so angry and dissatisfied.

He knows that the royal family and the aristocratic group will never stand together, so whether it is the prime minister or other ministers, their seizure of power is an inevitable process of the alternate development of Gefra's political system.

The royal family held power for a while, and then the ministers held power for a while.

Only this time, the Prime Minister seemed to want to turn the table, and he actually proposed an idea - a constitutional monarchy.

To get the royal family to give up enough power, and then become a mascot.

The reason is that the dictatorship has been unable to keep up with the rapid development of the international community. In order to meet such rapid development, backward systems like the monarchy must be eliminated.

During the confrontation between the two sides, he did not expect his second son to stand in the noble camp.

His Majesty the Emperor turned and looked at the second prince, "I asked you to go to the Royal Academy in the hope that you can make more friends, outstanding talents, and top scientists in society."

"These people can provide you with all kinds of help in your future life journey, but I definitely don't want you to oppose me."

He looked at the head of the royal family, who was also his own form, "Take this trash down, and don't let him come out without my consent..."

The manager bowed slightly, and walked to the second prince's side, "Please follow me..."

There is a special place for house arrest in the palace. Gefra's royal infighting has almost never stopped. The previous emperors built many rooms with special functions for confinement, or punishing or even abusing themselves. competitors.

On the way to the confinement room, the second prince was walking and suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you think I'm wrong?"

He faced his father just now, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire spoke out about the various disadvantages of the monarchy and the various advantages of the constitutional monarchy.

They can guarantee the particularity of the royal family to the greatest extent, and have some amendment powers, such as the power to deny and impeach the prime minister.

It seems that more power has fallen into the hands of the aristocratic group and the royal family, but in fact it is not entirely the case.

The royal family still has considerable power, and they are not responsible for any policy failures, they will only enjoy the results.

If someone wants to enter politics, he can take power through elections.

The federal congress and the president's game made this remote place that used to only have indigenous people and exiles, and now it has become a force that can confront Gefra.

This further shows that the monarch...or dictatorship has no market.

No one is omniscient and omnipotent, even God may not be able to do it. In this case, the concentration of power on one person is the greatest dereliction of duty to all citizens!

So the second prince clearly knew that he was also a beneficiary of the imperial power, but he still stood by the noble group.

He didn't intend to betray or overthrow his father, but simply hoped that this country would be strong.

The steward walked slowly without saying a word, the long corridor leading to the confinement room became more and more oppressive, and the second prince was a little desperate.

Once he is locked up, it means... It may be difficult for him to leave. He knows what kind of character his father is, and he knows that he will not admit his failure until the last moment.

Seeing that the confinement room was right in front of him, the manager suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at the second prince, "I strongly support your statement. If a civil war breaks out between the noble group and the royal family, maybe...we will lose everything."

"I will tell His Majesty that you have been locked up..."

The second prince looked at his uncle, the head of the royal family, with some confusion. The latter said with a smile, "Do what you want, and I will help you hide it first, so don't expose yourself too early."

The second prince's already desperate heart was instantly illuminated by the light. He nodded vigorously, hesitated for a while, then held the hand of the manager with both hands, and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Then, he left without looking back.

After watching the second prince leave, the steward returned to the study. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was discussing with the eldest prince about strengthening the palace's security force and mobilizing some elite royal guards.

His Majesty the Emperor saw the steward, and the eyes of the two exchanged in a very short moment, probably like——

"Has it be done?"

"it is done!"

It was so simple, His Majesty the Emperor bowed his head and continued to deal with the work in his hands, as a dictator, an emperor who killed all his brothers and sisters who threatened him, and ascended the throne as a "bastard".

His control over the royal family and the palace far exceeds that of any emperor, so there is no such thing as a "defection" event that was not ordered by him.

To put it more clearly, he asked the manager to let the second prince go.

As an emperor and a politician, he knew the value of leaving a way out for himself.

Compared with the "naive" thinking of the second prince, the first prince stood firmly on His Majesty's side.

The emperor didn't have too many children. He was not like his stallion father, who grabbed a girl in the court casually, whether it was a maid or a servant, he could take off the other's pants and implement the great cause of race.

Of course, he would also like to thank his stallion father. It was he who did not choose the right time or occasion to act as a stallion, which led to His Majesty the current Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor hated the feeling of brothers and sisters killing each other very much. He knew that as far as an emperor was concerned, he was not the best.

He did not receive the most professional emperor education, and his pure-blooded brothers could always accompany his father, watching the old emperor handle various government affairs, and even make some decisions on behalf of the old emperor.

He couldn't, he was a bastard, and besides being impure, he lacked a powerful kin.

Unlike the third prince who put the most pressure on him, his mother is the daughter of a certain grand duke in Gafla. Even if he cannot inherit the throne here, he can go back and inherit the duchy.

At the same time, the principality is his help in fighting for the throne.

The current emperor has nothing. He takes every step carefully. He is an excellent executioner. On a stormy night, with a few people loyal to him, he killed all the brothers who threatened him. sisters.

From a certain point of view, he is a qualified emperor, at least he is a capable and courageous emperor.

He hoped that his children would not be so stupid to fight and kill each other, so he restrained his desire and only had such a few children.

At this moment, he was thinking about some next countermeasures. The phone in the room rang, and he went to the side to pick it up. The manager took the initiative to stand in another corner of the room to ensure that he would not inadvertently eavesdrop. to what.

After a while, the emperor returned to the table expressionlessly, and continued to discuss some countermeasures with his eldest prince.

This call was not only made to His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister also received it.

He has been sleeping for a while, and it is difficult to stay up late when one is old.

It's not that they can't survive, they can go to bed later, but as long as they are a little later, there is a great possibility of insomnia.

He has a lot of complicated work every day, it is impossible for him to sleep too late or not to sleep, he has to be responsible for his work.

At this time, the ringing of the phone woke him up. After he opened his eyes, he lay down for more than ten seconds before he put the pillow behind his waist, leaned back, and picked up the phone.
