Okay, so during the March on Rome the King was debating what to do as fascist squads decended on the city. After uming and aring for a significant ammount of time he declared martial law and ordered troops to oppose the fascists, later on in the night he decided that was a foolish decision and repealed the martial law - effectively a vote of no confidence in the current PM Luigi Facta.

Many historians have claimed the strength of the fascists was exagerated and that the military could have put down the coup, in fact even Mussolini had contingency plans to flee to Switzerland should the plan not come off.
