It's just that what William didn't expect was that the contradiction would intensify to the point of life and death in advance.
Although illegitimate children are not recognized, as a typical Oriental man, William is reluctant to ask William to ignore his illegitimate children like most Western aristocrats.
In William's opinion, since it is his own child, even if he can't treat everyone equally, he must not be deliberately stifled either, after all, every child has his own blood flowing in his body.
Not long after Hans left the palace, Louise returned to the palace.
Or in other words, Louise hadn't left the palace very far, and when she saw Hans leave the palace with a relieved expression, Louise felt a little angry in her heart.
In Louise's opinion, although William had some scruples about Locks and didn't do anything, he didn't need to worry about Hans at all, but looking at Hans's expression now, it was as if William had not punished him at all, which made Louise's heart how could she not be angry.
"William, Locks is fine, but this Hans doesn't have so many concerns, right?
Why didn't you call someone in and arrest him, but let him swagger out of here!
” After entering the palace, Louise shouted at William in a hurry.
Hearing Louise's voice, William frowned, and then William asked: "Mother, did you send someone to hint at Hans when I was away, so that he could find a way to kill the child in Du Li's womb?"
There was some reproach in William's tone, and it was obvious that Louise's face suddenly changed when she heard William's slightly reproachful words.
An angry Louise said: "I sent someone to negotiate with Hans, but I didn't expect him to insist on refusing, didn't he know that this was a scandal of the Hohenzollern family!"
Hear Louise say that.
William was suddenly a little angry "I said mother, no matter how Du Li is, she is my woman after all, and the child in her belly is also my blood, how can you do this!"
"William, are you accusing me?
Have you ever thought that the child in Du Li's belly is certainly your bloodline?
But he's an illegitimate child, an illegitimate child, you know!
How many bastards can get a good death?
If nothing else, if Anna's child grows up.
Will he tolerate these half-brothers?
” Louise's words made William suddenly chop.
"But, mother, you shouldn't force Du Li like this, you don't know Du Li's status in Hans's heart.
You're pushing Du Li so much.
Wouldn't Hans have taken the plunge?
” "William, what do you mean by this, listening to you, it seems that the ultimate reason for someone's assassination of Anna is because of me?"
Louise glared at William like an angry lioness, and under Louise's gaze, William's heart became a little weak.
In some ways, there is not much difference between the East and the West, just like the word filial piety.
Prussia has always put filial piety first.
"Mother, that's not what I meant.
It's just that..................
Ay!
” William had to sigh. ................................................
As soon as he left the palace, Hans rushed to Locks' house, believing that after leaving the palace, Locks must have returned home first, because there were some things that could only be discussed in his own home.
Sure enough, when Hans came to Locks' house and told him his identity, one of the attendants quickly greeted Hans respectfully, and then led Hans into Locks' manor.
As soon as Hans entered the gate of the manor, Hans was keenly aware that at least several eyes had gathered on his body, but Hans looked left and right and found that there was no one around him except the squire who was leading the way in front of him.
This scene made Hans secretly give Locks a thumbs up, after all, such a level of martial law is rare in the whole of Brandenburg.
Just as Hans was watching the layout of Locks Manor, before he knew it, the attendant led Hans around to an inconspicuous two-story building in the middle of Locks Manor.
Although the small building is very inconspicuous, the garrison near the small building is obviously quite strong, and within Hans's sight, there are more than thirty armed soldiers guarding it, and there are actually two light field guns at the door.
"Your Excellency Hans, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is inside" "May I ask you, who else is there besides the Prime Minister?"
As he spoke, Hans secretly slipped a gold coin into the squire's hand, and when he heard Hans's question, he glanced at the color of the gold coin again, and the squire smiled and said: "Your Excellency Hans, there are several cabinet ministers in addition to the Prime Minister, you will know when you go in!"
After speaking, I saw the attendant shouting at the door "Master Hans has arrived!"
The squire then pushed open the door and let Hans enter.
When Hans walked through the door, his face instantly became solemn, and he looked around, and sure enough, as the squire had just said, there were three people in the room, in addition to Locks, there were Deputy Prime Minister Kut, Chancellor of the Exchequer Julian, and Minister of Justice Lucas.
If Hans, who had just entered, was added, five of the nine members of the Prussian Cabinet had already gathered in this inconspicuous little building in Locks Manor.
Politically, Hans didn't really belong to Locks's party, but because they were on the same page on Anna's matter, the two came together.

Seeing Hans walk in, Locks silently pointed to an empty couch in the room for Hans to sit down.
"Your Excellency Hans, what did His Majesty say to you after I left?"
Locks asked Hans, and after Locks spoke, the other three Prussian cabinet members in the room also focused their eyes on Hans.
This time, the dead man was dispatched to assassinate Anna, and the Foreign Minister Elstner was not in the room at this time, but he was not less involved in this matter than others.
After Locks' words were finished, Hans said with an unchanged countenance: "I've already taken all this matter down, and Your Majesty didn't say anything, just told me that if Anna is okay, if Anna is fine, then I will obediently go back to Parets to be my rich man!"
Hearing that Hans had carried it all down, the other three people in the room were relieved, but Locks asked with a frown: "His Majesty's handling is obviously unreasonable, or is it that you Hans has hidden some hole cards?"
Hearing Locks' question, a curious look appeared on the faces of the other three cabinet members, after all, Hans had said that he had already carried the whole matter.
What a great crime it is to assassinate Her Highness!
Although Wilhelm was concerned about Hans's nurturing grace to him, the punishment would never be so light.
As soon as Locks finished speaking, Hans smiled bitterly and said: "I knew our Prime Minister wouldn't fool him so easily!"
Hans then repeated his reasons for what he had told Wilhelm to everyone present.
When Hans finished speaking, the three cabinet members except him and Locks obviously looked wrong, no wonder, except that they were a little annoyed by their news.
In fact, Louise sent people to communicate with Hans and Anna wrote a letter to Dourie because they were related to the royal family and the Hans family, so these two things were very hidden, whether it was Hans or Louise, they would never allow these things to be known by outsiders, because once they were known by others, it would be a huge damage to the reputation of either party.
Except, of course, Locks, the old fox's tentacles can be said to be everywhere, so he also knows about it, but it is clear that Hans, the client, knows more about the inside story than he knows.
"This behavior of His Excellency Hans is very noble, so I suggest that the government's budget this year should be tilted more towards the intelligence department, and at the same time, we feel righteous indignation at the grievances suffered by Countess Du Li, I remember that there seem to be a few good estates in the Ministry of Finance, and I think these estates might as well be subsidized to Count Du Li!"
It was Kut who spoke, as the deputy prime minister of the Prussian government, he has always been regarded as the successor of Locks, and at the same time, Locks did make this deputy prime minister, who was seven years younger than him, his successor, after all, after the implementation of the retirement system, if he wanted to ensure that his influence was not reduced, then he had to install his own descendants in the government.
And after Coote finished speaking, the Chancellor of the Exchequer glanced at Locks, and when he saw Locks nodding, Julian immediately said: "As the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government Kut said, the Ministry of Finance has just seized several very good estates from a few corrupt officials, and I think these estates can be handed over to Countess Du Li!"
Although it was Du Li's father, Hans did not speak at this time.
There has never been love and hate without a reason in the world, and this is especially evident in politics.
Now that Hans has opened his mouth to Wilhelm and carried everything down, it is inevitable that the rest of the people will have to make a certain exchange of interests for Hans, otherwise I am afraid that Hans will definitely change his words.
Seeing that Hans didn't speak, Kurt and the others felt that it should be because Hans was not satisfied with what was exchanged, so several people looked at Locks, after all, they had limited power in their hands, and only Locks could be the bigger master.
After the eyes of the crowd looked at him, Locks groaned a little and then said: "In this way, I remember that there are still several vacancies in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance, especially the post of the head of the budget department of the Ministry of Finance has not been appointed, and this candidate will be decided by His Excellency Hans!"
