It has to be said that the intelligence officers of the British Empire are all good at manipulating public opinion, and under their deliberate guidance, the citizens of Constantinople have been tired of the chaotic political situation, and when they heard that the former eldest princess of the Iraqi Dynasty, Irina, is still alive, and her son Richard is of Roman and British blood, many Constantinople citizens have said that they are fed up with the chaotic situation, and they would rather let Richard take the throne than let the political situation go on like this.The palace was guarded by the elite Lombard Guards, who dispersed the demonstrators, many of whom were injured, but the residents of several districts near the Plaza de Augustus rushed to hear the news, and the Lombard Guards had to retreat and quickly retreat to the palace in the face of the furious crowd.The demonstrators, instigated by Ho Zhihua and others, soon evolved into a mob.Unable to storm the palace, they set fire to the city, burning down the Senate, Hagia Sophia, St.
Irina's Church, the Baths of Alexandria, Theodosius' Market, and the entire luxury residential complex between the Forum of Augustus and the Place of Constantine, and the most beautiful quarter of Constantinople was wiped out in the fire.After the siege of the palace, Anastatius I decided to address the people at the motorsports arena built by Constantine the Great, but the emotional crowd shouted that the emperor was a "stupid donkey, a hypocrite, and a lewd embryo" and threw stones at Emperor Anastatius and Empress Fausta.In an emergency, Anastasias saw that the situation was not good, and under the cover of the Lombard Guard, he fled back to the palace through the secret tunnels under the royal stands.At noon, the populace elected Apadios, the nephew of Anastasis, as emperor and pulled him out of his house.Ippadios' wife grabbed his gown and kept him from being snatched by the rioters, but he was taken to Constantine's Square, where he was thrust into a fortification and put on a gold collar as a crown.At the palace, a panicked Anastasiaus ordered the eunuch Saynsner to transport the treasures of the Imperial Treasury to a ship at the Imperial Docks.Empress Fausta was furious at this, and said to her husband in a resolute tone that made Anastasiaus extremely ashamed: "If there is no other way to seek safety only in escape, I will not choose the path of escape."
A man who wears a crown should not survive in the face of failure.The day will never come when I will no longer be honored as a queen.If you want to escape, Your Majesty, then good luck.You've got the money, your ship is ready to stop, and the sea is opening its arms.As for me, I'm going to stay.I appreciate the old adage: the purple robe is the most beautiful shroud. ”After saying this, Anastasias's face turned red with shame and he decided to stay in Constantinople and wait for the situation to change.Empress Fosta sent the chief eunuch Selesner out of the palace with cash and infiltrated the "Blues" residential area to bribe the party's leaders to support the emperor.And as the driving force behind this riot, He Zhihua was also treated as a bribe, "Dear Mr. dos Santos, I know that you are a loyal supporter of the Blue Party, and you are also a supporter of Your Majesty..... now Your Majesty is in trouble and needs your support, if you and your supporters fight on Your Majesty's side..... then this gold is your ....."
After finishing speaking, the great eunuch Saynsner sent by Fausta opened the boxes he brought, and after opening them, they were full of gold, and the dazzling gold made the well-informed He Zhihua dizzy for a while, this is really a wealth and charming eye.After swallowing a few salivas, He Zhihua held back his thirst for gold and began to think, after a long time, he decided to temporarily support Anastasia to black hands against the "Greens", the reason why he did this was completely in the consideration of destroying Anastasia's reputation, because he knew that Anastasia was not a good person, if he went on a killing spree, then when his real own people came to the city, then he would have a great deal of confidence and drive Anastasia from the emperor's throne......
After getting Ye Zhihua's promise, Saynsner was very happy, and he immediately reported the good news to Anasta Hughes and Fausta, and the couple was very happy after getting the promise of He Zhihua and other high-level "Blue Party" leaders, and they immediately summoned several of their close generals and instructed them to prepare to quell the rebellion.On their orders, an Eastern Roman army left the Schalke Palace, passed through the smoking ruins and arrived at the Hippodrome through the portico of the "Blue Party".Another Praetorian Guard unit circled the arena and rushed through the "Death Gate".The two armies appeared at opposite ends of the arena at the same time, unleashing a bloody massacre of the people inside, while the archers ascended the passage behind the auditorium from the dark ladder and fired arrows into the crowd.Soon, the Colosseum of Constantinople was full of blood, dead bodies were everywhere, and the blood of demonstrators stained the whole of Constantinople red, and within a short time, about 40,000 people were killed in the motor racing arena, and in this way, a great wave was suppressed.In the ensuing reckoning, Anastasia took revenge on dissidents, and many nobles who supported the revolt or hesitated were executed, and at the behest of Empress Fausta, Ippadios and his family were killed.Anastasia was very proud after suppressing the demonstration, he said smugly, "These traitors are just full of food and idle and have nothing to do, it seems that I should find something for them to do......"
What Anastasia didn't know was that when he was busy suppressing the protesters of the French resistance, Li Lu had also received the news of the chaos in Constantinople, and after learning that Anastasia had brutally suppressed the rebels, Li Lu was very happy, "Hahaha, Anastasia, you are really my pig opponent, hahaha." , I want to thank you well......"
The reason why Li Lu was so happy was because Anastasia's suppression actually killed several merchants with British household registration, which gave Li Luzheng the opportunity to legally interfere in the internal affairs of the Eastern Roman Empire, and he immediately convened a military meeting, and then formulated a military battle plan, preparing to take Constantinople, which is known as the first city in the West.Under the order of Li Lu, the British army marched from three directions, north, south, and south, and attacked Constantinople in the Black Sea Strait, and they invaded the Eastern Roman Empire under the slogan of avenging the victims and supporting the Iraklius.......
