Fortunately, Louise remembered who she was, so she had to restrain her hostile gaze even if she didn't want to, after all, Locks was the prime minister of Prussia.
"Locks, Hans, I've heard that something has happened to the government and the Ministry of Intelligence recently, and even directly caused my wife Anne to be in danger of life, and I need an explanation for this!"
Although William's tone was a little light, the meaning of his words was obviously a hint of murder.
After hearing William's words, Hans glanced at Locks, and when he saw the expression on Locks' face, Hans quickly calmed down his mind.
In every way, there was a tall man on top when the sky fell, and Locks was undoubtedly the tallest man present besides William.
And William's questioning just now also deliberately put the government in front, obviously at this time Locks must speak first, if Hans said first, it is obviously not suitable.
But Locks was silent after listening to William's words, as if organizing the wording, but Locks delayed for too long, so that Louise couldn't wait any longer, and just when Louise was about to open his mouth to question Locks, the Prime Minister said: "Your Majesty, everything you said is definitely a rumor maliciously unleashed, in the case of the repeated victories of the front-line army, the Royal Government is currently operating normally in all aspects, and even inspired by the great victory at the front, the tax revenue of the last quarter has increased considerably compared with the same period of the year.
And as for what you said about Queen Anna, her life was in danger.
It seems to me that it is even more impossible to talk about Queen Anna, as the queen of Prussia, she is deeply loved by the Prussian people.
In such a situation, anyone who dares to act against Her Royal Highness Queen Anna is simply declaring war on all the Prussian people.
Your Majesty's previous words are to doubt the loyalty of the old minister, or the loyalty of the entire government to you!
” When Locks said this, the expression on his face could be described as righteous and awe-inspiring, but what the prime minister did immediately made William's expression a little uncomfortable.
"Well, Your Excellency, I don't doubt what you mean.
And I'm sure everyone in the government is loyal to the kingdom, but Anna has a lot at stake, especially at a time like this.
I will not allow Anna to have a surprise, do you understand that, Your Excellency Prime Minister?
” "The minister understands!"
After Locks answered, William let Locks go, and Hans was embarrassed.
After all, William let Locks go, and Gram didn't let him go.
So Hans could only stand still.
For Hans, William's mood is even more complicated, after all, Hans is not only his trusted minister, but also has the grace of nurturing himself.
After Locks left the palace, Louise said to William with a dissatisfied face: "You just let Locks go?
Did you know that your wife is facing a conspiracy!
” Hearing Louise's words, William said with some helplessness on his face: "Mother, I know what you mean, but Locks has worked hard for the Hohenzollerns for so many years.
Do you want me to deal with a prime minister on the spot without clear evidence?"
Then William continued: "Mother.
Leave for a moment, I have something to say to Lord Hans."
Hearing William Gao say this, although Louise had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, but after all, she still needed to maintain the authority of William, His Majesty the King, so she had to leave the palace.
When Louise was gone, William sent all the chamberlains out of the palace, leaving only Wilhelm and Hans in the palace.
"Uncle Hans, you are the person I trust the most, and now it is only the two of us, there are some things you should say to me!"
William's sudden opening made Hans's face appear a look of struggle, but Hans knew what kind of tricks he was planning with Locks and the others, in this case, if Hans opened his mouth to explain all the reasons, then not only Hans would be unlucky, but his entire family would also be unlucky, after all, there were too many people and forces involved in this matter.
Therefore, after hearing William's words, Hans gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being ignorant, the ministers don't understand what you mean!"
Hearing Hans say this, William sighed heavily "Uncle Hans, you raised me, and it can be said that you have nurtured me, so you are one of the people I trust the most, and many people have told me over the years that your rights should be restricted, but I have never done it, you should know what I think.
I know that Du Li is dissatisfied with Anna, and I also explained that Du Li is my first woman, and I am actually very embarrassed to be caught in it, and sometimes I very much hope that someone can understand me.
My father died young, and in my upbringing, to be honest, I only met this father a few times, and it is obviously untrue to say how much affection I have for him, because of this, sometimes I will unconsciously think of you as my father, because I know that your love for me is also a kind of fatherly love.
That's why I don't impose any restrictions on you, otherwise, how could the Hans family have risen from a local nobleman in Parets to a sought-after magnate in the upper echelons of the kingdom.
At the same time, it is precisely because I know the contradiction between Du Li and Anna, so I tolerate you to develop your own power in the government, and the reason for this is also my own selfishness, I think Du Li can get the power to counteract Anna, so as to ensure that in case of any accident in me, Anna has to have more scruples even if she is against Du Li!
” After saying that, William let out another heavy sigh.
As Wilhelm spoke, Hans's head was kept down, and no one knew what Hans was thinking.
Regardless of the constantly changing expression on Hans's face, it was quite tangled.
William looked at Hans silently like this, until Hans raised his head and said to William with a heavy face: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"
Hear Hans say that.
William breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but to his surprise, he only heard Hans continue: "It is true that the minister was dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness Anna's mother-in-law to Prussia as an Austrian, so the minister sent his own retainers to assassinate Queen Anna, all of which was the minister's dead heart!
If Your Majesty wants to pursue it, please hold me accountable, Du Li and Carlo.
Please take care of their affection and spare their lives!
” Hans lay on the ground and bowed his head in confession, but the look on William's face instantly stiffened.

In William's opinion.
He hoped that Du's would ask Hans to explain who had conspired with him, although even if William had the exact list and would not attack these people in a short time, William could use the time to clean up these guys one by one.
The power of these people is too great, and even William has to throw himself into the trap.
But William didn't expect it.
Hans was actually under his own questioning.
Directly carried everything on his shoulders.
And just when William looked at Hans with a red face, and wanted to kick him, he only heard Hans say: "Your Majesty, Du Li has nothing to do with this matter, it's all the minister's personal doing!"
Hearing this, William sneered: "I don't believe Du Li has nothing to do with this!"
"Your Majesty, Du Li she really has nothing to do with these days.
Du Li has been quietly cultivating her body, for outside things.
Du Li didn't even know!
” Hans mentioned that Du Li was recuperating in his body, and William was stunned for a moment and then asked: "What's wrong with Du Li?"
"Your Majesty, Du Li is already pregnant, and it has been more than four months now!"
Hearing Hans's words, Wilhelm was instantly struck by lightning, and then he seemed to think of something, but then he himself overturned the idea.
At first, William thought about how he could make Du Li pregnant after a long time of fighting, but then William thought that he had indeed had sex with Du Li when he was in Brandenburg before, and the time was about the same.
And since Hans can say it without hesitation, then it seems that Du Li must be his William's child, otherwise, no matter how bold Hans is, he will not dare to use this matter to deceive William.
At this moment, William only felt that his heavy punch seemed to hit the cotton, not only did he not get the result he was satisfied with, but even he felt that he was shocked to the point of injury.
A look of shock froze on William's face for a moment, and he took a few steps back and sat down on his throne, his hand pressed to the position of his temple.
"Uncle Hans, this news really makes me a little at a loss, why didn't you tell me this news earlier!"
"Your Majesty, Du Li was originally going to look for you in the Austrian Netherlands, but I stopped me, and in order not to disturb your military operations on the Western Front, I can hide this news and tell you when you return to Brandenburg!"
William's eyes looked at Hans with some blank eyes and said: "Then tell me in detail how you got involved with Anna!"
Hearing William's words, Hans was a little secretly happy in his heart, Du Li was pregnant with William's child, as long as there is this premise, then of course Anna was killed, so considering this, William will not punish the Hans family too much, and in Hans's opinion, it is a big deal to resist his own life, but in this way, it can create a chance for Du Li to take the position, which is completely worth it for Hans.
So Hans says: Soon after Du Li became pregnant, Queen Anna gave birth to a little prince for Her Majesty, which made Her Majesty panic, and the news of Du Li's pregnancy was not hidden from Queen Louise Queen Mother, but Her Royal Highness was the opposite of Du Li and Anna, and she hinted more than once that Du Li and her ministers asked to kill the child Du Li was carrying.
Your Majesty, you should also know what kind of character my daughter Du Li has, so Du Li did not agree to Queen Louise's request at all.
Originally, His Majesty thought that this matter was over, but what he didn't expect was that Queen Anna didn't know where to know about it, and then she sent a letter to Du Li, sarcastically saying that Du Li was pregnant with an unhonorable illegitimate child.
How could a person as stubborn as Du Li stand such an insult.
And as a father, I naturally can't stand it anymore, so I will send someone to assassinate the queen!
” With that, Hans tilted his head and looked at William.
At this time, Hans's gaze seemed a little aggressive, and even Wilhelm had to lower his head to avoid Hans's gaze under such a gaze.
Hans's words are not entirely true, but Louise did send someone to Hans to hint at the killing of the child in Dory's belly.
Louise naturally did this for his reasons.
If you know the daughter that Anna gave birth to, maybe Louise could still tolerate Du Li giving birth to William's child, but Anna gave birth to a son!
There is obviously a clear gap between the two, Prussia is a monarchical state, and even like most countries in Europe, Prussia is a patriarchal society, and the queen may appear in other countries, but it is absolutely impossible to appear in Prussia.
Therefore, since Anna gave birth to a boy, the meaning of this boy in Louise's eyes is different, and even if Du Li is pregnant with William's child, this child is also an illegitimate child, and the illegitimate child not only has no inheritance rights, but also a stain on William's reputation.
With this in mind, Louise hinted at Hans.
As for Anna's letter, it is indeed true, but Anna's letter to Du Li did not satirize Du Li's illegitimate child, and of course Anna's letter was not very friendly.
All in all, 60% of Hans's words are true and 40% are false, but it is this kind of statement that makes it most difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
William's face changed, and finally William gritted his teeth and said to Hans: "Let your men stop at once, or if Anna is fine, if Anna is fine, then you will return to Paretz for me at once, and I will not set foot in Brandenburg from now on!"
Wilhelm made his decision, and after Hans left the palace, Wilhelm collapsed on the throne weakly.
In fact, William has long been prepared for the possible conflicts between the daughters in the future, and even has arrangements in his heart for the children that Karina's three daughters may give birth to in the future, otherwise, how could only the three girls be named countesses, you must know that their earldom and territory are exactly what William prepared for his children in the future.
