Chapter 1291 Announcement of Abdication
After the nobles captured the palace, they did not kill Holdress, but immediately put him under house arrest.
It’s not that they don’t want to kill Holdress, but because Holdress is still very important now.
The nobles who have entered the palace now are only a part of them. More nobles are on the way. As the victors, they naturally want to join the carnival feast and have a share of the pie.
If Holdress died now, the carnival feast would become a battlefield for infighting among the nobles.
The nobles knew that they must not fight among themselves now, because this would only make Lyon the ultimate beneficiary.
But these nobles were unwilling to accept this, because those nobles who had not contributed could enjoy the fruits of their efforts openly.
After weighing the pros and cons, the nobles unanimously decided to let Holdress abdicate and set up a cabinet, appointing them, the first batch of nobles who rushed into the palace, as ministers.
Holdress signed his abdication without hesitation.
Because Holdress knew that whether he signed or not, his fate was already determined.
If I sign the abdication edict, maybe I can live a few more days...
Inside the palace, Emperor Holdress smiled self-deprecatingly at the sight of the fully-armed nobles before him.
Yesterday, I killed these nobles without any effort, but what about today? They killed me without any effort...
The law of heaven is to bring about retribution. Who can escape the punishment of the evil you have sown with your own hands? You must pay for it yourself.
Seeing Holdress accept his fate, several nobles looked at each other, and then one of them handed over a letter of abdication.
The content of the abdication edict was very concise, with only a short paragraph written on it.
"Holdelis is a sinner of the Papal States, unworthy of his position, and a traitor to all the citizens. Therefore, I hereby announce my abdication and establish a cabinet to hand over the power of the country to the cabinet ministers.
Appoint ... several persons as cabinet ministers."
The abdication edict was so hasty that it caught everyone off guard.
The corners of Holdress' mouth twitched. "Can you at least make your abdication decree more elegant?"
What does this look like?
Isn't it obvious what Sima Zhao is thinking? Isn't it obvious to everyone?
But Holdress had no choice because he had already seen the knife in the hand of the guard beside him.
If I sign, I can still live, but if I don’t sign, I will die now…
Finally, Holdress signed his name to it.
When he signed the document, Holdress thought to himself: If he had chosen another path, would the outcome have been different? Would the people have betrayed him?
But there are no ifs in this world.
The nobles got the abdication edict they wanted, and then directly announced to the people of the country that the autocratic emperor had been driven away by them, and that the world now belonged to the people!
Countless ordinary people cried for joy. They cursed Holdress for a bad death and praised these nobles.
After the nobles gained power, they began to gradually show their fangs.
But it is impossible for them to fall out with each other immediately, so they are still pretending to be friendly.
On the one hand, he pretended to issue government decrees and gave part of the benefits to the people across the country, and then, in order to accumulate strength, he began to target the monsters in the north.
The Imperial Guards and Iron Guards in the north are working diligently to clear out the monsters.
The newly-elected aristocratic government could not go to the south to engage in a decisive battle with the Wehrmacht, so they could only focus their attention on the north.
So they began to list the Imperial Guards as enemies and let various writers and poets criticize them.
“Our compatriots have turned into monsters, but these people are slaughtering these monsters wantonly. This is simply slaughtering our compatriots!
I believe we must have a way to save these compatriots who have turned into monsters, instead of solving everything by killing them!"
These words from the aristocratic government completely shattered Lyon's three views.
Because this is simply too abstract. What does it mean that these monsters should not be solved by killing?
Are you going to use love to influence these monsters?
Guess what, if these monsters can be influenced by love, why doesn't Galina take action?
If it weren't for the Imperial Guards and the Iron Guards, the entire northern region would have fallen by now, and a large number of monsters would have rushed out of the city and headed from the north to the south.
Can a new government come to power in the Papal States? It would be good enough if the capital wasn't occupied by monsters.
No one likes killing. Among all the means, killing is the last resort.
The common people in the north were brainwashed by the aristocratic government, and they also began to criticize the Imperial Guards.
The entire Kingdom of the Church blamed them, but only the child priests in the church at the center of the mutation firmly supported the Imperial Guards.
Because if it weren't for the Imperial Guards, they would have been killed by the monsters long ago.
It was Dayan who saved them, but now these aristocratic governments are inciting the common people and inciting them to oppose Dayan.
Since the aristocratic government overthrew Holderis's rule, many ordinary people chose to trust the new aristocratic government.
But ordinary people should not be dragged into dirty political struggles.
But the new aristocratic government of the Papal States apparently did not realize this.
They found that they could gain a lot of support from the people by taking advantage of the people's war of words, and that many middle-class people would donate part of their assets to fund them.
They gradually tasted the sweetness and began to incite in various ways.
The nobles who subsequently arrived in the capital of the Papal States began to compete with the nobles of the new aristocratic government.
Why don't we have enough seats? Is it because we are late? Then we have to compete!
The ignorant lower classes are being incited, while the higher-ups are still fighting among themselves.
Faced with the Papal States' ingratitude, Lyon even considered withdrawing the Imperial Guards.
The worst suffered were the troops of the Papal States, who learned overnight that their emperor was dead.
At the same time, a new government was established, but this new government has not yet issued any military combat orders!
It seems like we have forgotten these soldiers!
Not only were there no military combat orders, but even the logistical supplies were suddenly cut off.
The troops at the front were in a panic, not knowing whether they should continue to resist.
There was no so-called leader, not enough supplies, and the season had already turned into winter.
Faced with the powerful National Defense Forces, the hungry and cold Papal Army was making its last resistance.
Some soldiers had already been defeated, but some chose to stay and block the Wehrmacht.
