The turbulent public opinion gathered into a storm, and it became more and more intense!
Early the next morning, the violent crowd quickly gathered in Hiro City.
Under the law-enforcers who were maintaining order, the parade began in an orderly manner.
Yesterday’s petition was fruitless, and it did not obtain Napoleon VII’s promise.
Today’s parade team became even more intense.
Their slogan had changed from asking His Majesty to take back his orders, to eliminating cheating in exams, and then to fighting corruption and promoting integrity.
Under the deliberate guidance of people with ulterior motives, the goal of the demonstration gradually became clear.
It change from all the nobles to a part of the nobles.
And this part of the nobles targeted had a common characteristic.
They rose up to power in the army and were closely tied to the Tulip family.
..
Duke Tulip’s residence, Norton’s study room.
“General, what should we do!”
In the study room, a strong-looking man asked anxiously as if his butt was on fire, “This dog emperor is going to attack us.”
“General, we can’t continue to be afraid.”
As soon as the man finished speaking, a man with golden-rimmed glasses suddenly stood out from the study.
“As long as you give the order, we will follow you no matter what.”
“Oh!”
Norton raised his head and looked at Larksey with a faint smile.
This person was the military advisor in his army and an important figure in their chain of interests.
He was considered the second-in-command in their circle.
Usually, this person was extremely calm. He would never say such rash words, or even heinous words.
There must be something fishy behind his abnormal behavior today.
Sensing Norton’s gaze, the gold-rimmed-glasses man did not panic. He took a step forward and stood in the middle of the study.
“Everyone, we grew up together.”
“Not only that, we control almost half of the empire’s military power. No emperor can tolerate us.”
Larksey’s eyes turned cold and he said ferociously,
“Napoleon VII is not a character who can be easily fooled. Ever since he ascended to the throne, I have been paying attention to him. I think his real goal this time is to withdraw powers from us!”
Everyone nodded and looked at Larksey who was standing in the middle with expectant eyes.
“Now, the public opinion has been mobilized by him and those people who are jealous of us. Once the exam is over and Young Master Hughes is recruited into Hiro Royal Academy, the boiling public opinion will reach its peak.”
“They only need to add fuel to the fire behind the scenes and just these angry people are enough to make us suffer.”
Speaking up to this point, the eyes of the man suddenly became vicious.
“If you ask me, why don’t we learn from the Habsburg family and lead our men to directly rebel against this old bastard!”
More than 1,500 years ago, there was a civil war in the Hiro Empire.
The Duke of Habsburg raised the rebel flag high and led a group of nobles to establish the Aodong Empire.
After that, the east and west of the Hiro Empire split and formed two countries.
“Why can’t we do what Habsburg 1st did? Although our strength is a little weaker than theirs, the current Hiro Empire is not the same as before.”
