"Ancestor! Uncle, how can you salute me? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!..."
"Yes! Uncle, please get up quickly! You are the chief minister of the alliance and one of the few remaining distinguished elders in the royal family... Not only did you preside over the wedding between me and Xiu Luote, you are also Xiao Xiu Hua's teacher!...
Well, we are returning the favor to you!…”
High and low cactus flower pots were arranged in the reception hall, many of which were blooming with bright flower balls. Surrounded by flowers and cacti, the elderly uncle Kakamazin bowed his head and saluted, and Shulot took his wife
He bowed to the ground and returned the courtesy, with a solemn and panic-stricken look on his face.
"Xulot, you are the head of the royal family in the Holy City, and you control three-tenths of the world. And Avit is the head of the royal family in the main city, and you control half of the world... The royal family of the Mexica people, Mexico
The world of the West-Canada Alliance cannot move towards division and civil war!…”
Kakamazin, who was over seventy years old, lowered his head and begged, his voice old and sincere. Facing his uncle's request, Shulot fell on the mat, leaning his head against the warm mat. He didn't know how to answer for a while. He was silent for a long time, and then
He raised his head, looked at his uncle who was waiting solemnly, and then at his wife who looked expectant. Under such a situation, he could only let out a long sigh and made a deep promise.
"Uncle, I understand! The ancestors and the Lord God have witnessed it. For the sake of you and the royal family elders, I...I can forgive...Avit for what he did before!...Our Mexica royal family will never do this.
In the hands of Avitt and me, this is a civil war... I am still young and have plenty of time. I will wait patiently until the sun goes down!..."
"Okay! Witness the Lord God! The elders of the Mexica royal family will be happy when they hear your promise. And the dead ancestors will also feel happy on the sacred tree of the Kingdom of God!..."
After hearing this promise, Uncle Kakamatsu finally raised his head. His old face showed a happy smile, and he patted his chest heavily with his left hand, repeating the previous promise to his ancestors.
"The testimony of the ancestors on the sacred tree! Shulot, I still say the same thing! As long as my old bones are still alive, as long as the elders of the royal family are still alive... I will never let you meet in the royal capital.
Any danger!…”
"I also told Avitt about this sentence first, and got his promise! Under the witness of the ancestors and gods, he promised your safety, and also promised that as long as you stay in the royal capital, he will not do anything to you.
Take action on your lake fiefdom in the Western Lake District!…After all, he swore an oath and promised you the west of the world!…”
"Ensure my safety? Protect my fiefdom in the Western Lake District?..."
Hearing such a royal promise, Shulot's expression was very complicated. The various emotions in his chest were ups and downs, and even he couldn't distinguish them clearly. On the contrary, Alyssa hugged her husband's arm, and her nervous expression suddenly relaxed, and finally revealed
A sincere smile.
"O Lord God! May you protect my husband and my father! ... May they stand under the eaves of the same palace, watching the condors in the sky and the cactus on the earth, recalling the vows they made
Bar!…"
Under the constant conflict of political power, the two kings who once had great ambitions to join hands, trusted each other, and were close to each other now have a serious lack of mutual trust. And only at this moment, with the guarantee and mediation of the royal elders, they did this indirectly and reluctantly.
, to reach a reliable commitment.
Yes, there is no doubt about it. At this moment, the conversation between Shulot and Kakamazin seems to be a promise between his granduncle and his uncle, but in fact it is within the Mexica royal family, and the branch of the Holy City royal family that he represents.
The main line of the royal family in the capital represented by Avitt, and the elders of the royal family, especially the elders of the elder line, jointly guarantee a mutual commitment!
Through the guarantees of the royal elders, the two promised never to start a royal civil war and never to kill each other. The elders, as the middle force to support, balance and protect both sides, witnessed all this. And inherited part of it.
The prestigious Kakamazin is the leader of many elders in the royal family and the first witness to the promise!
"The Lord God bless you! You have made sacred promises to the ancestors of the Mexica royal family! These sacred promises will not only be witnessed by the elders of the royal family, but will also be known to the nobles of the royal family very soon!..."
Kakamazin's expression was solemn, and his old voice was so loud, so energetic and confident.
The power of the royal elders comes from the traditional royal power. At least in the current lake capital, it is quite impressive! The bronze ax guards left by the two thousand elders are only the superficial force of the clan elders, used for maintenance.
The royal order does not make Avitt afraid. But the influence of the royal family elders on the royal aristocracy and the royal army is invisible and difficult to eliminate!
The more than 70,000 legions directly under the royal family in Avitt's hands are called the royal legion precisely because among the upper echelons of the legion, more than 70% of the seventy-two thousand-man battalion commanders and nine legion commanders are all commanded by the royal family.
The nobles came to serve.
In fact, among the nine legion commanders directly under the army, except for Avitt, who was promoted exceptionally, Huadiao Qilto, who was a commoner and a minor noble warrior, and Chi Chi, the dead dog, the other seven legion commanders are all royal nobles.
Their origins. Stanley the Giant Bear, Marshal Cassar, Iskali the Last Moon, Ocelot, Lord Jaguar City, Mihoti, Chief Yuyan Clan... are also nobles from various branches of the royal family, and are influenced by the elders of the royal family.
They have more or less influence.
In the aristocratic regiment composed of Eagle and Jaguar warriors, the proportion of royal and aristocratic officers is equally astonishing. Among the various regiments, the only one that has not been affected by the royal aristocrats is the hair-cutting ban, which Avitt personally promoted and rebuilt.
guard!
As for the twelve priests and elders in the capital, there are six elders who come from various royal families, including the war god elder Yazar, the sun god elder Tonatiu, and the priest elder Como. Below the high priest group, the royal family
The number of chief priests and officiants is also large.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, the Mexica royal family in the past dynasties has adopted concubines, gave birth to a large number of children, and married into various tribes and nobles. And the tribes who married, whether they married
Whether you give away a princess or give away a noble daughter, it will be recorded in the genealogy of the Mexica royal family in the next generation. This large-scale intermarriage and expansion of the royal family are the most important means for the rise and expansion of city-state and tribal alliances! That’s it!
Just like the early days of the rise of the Eight Tribes of Khitan, complex and powerful tribal royal families were also formed through the marriage of each tribe and the birth of children.
Among the two million Mexicans in the Lake District, there are at least 20,000 to 30,000 royal members, divided into more than a dozen royal branches. The Holy City royal family is one of them. The ancestor of Montezuma II
The Asal family is another branch. The Yuyan family of Sun City is also a branch. Even Prince Tracapan, whose mother is from the Mexica royal family, can be counted as a branch of the royal family...
In terms of its ruling composition, the Mexica Alliance itself is an aristocratic system of a tribal alliance. There is no civil servant class selected from the bottom, and it is completely different from the tradition of the Celestial Empire. The so-called centralization of power in the alliance is to consolidate the power of various ministries.
Power was concentrated from the gods and great nobles of the city-states in various places to the god-kings and royal nobles in the center of the alliance.
These nobles of the royal family are the foundation of the God King Avit, the core of his rule, and the "people" he uses to convey his voice and carry out the God King's will.
The basis of power, no matter what the name is, always comes from the "people" who exercise power. Under today's general trend, these royal nobles are naturally loyal to the God King. And if Shulot provokes a civil war
, they will undoubtedly stand on the side of Avite, who has the legal authority and power of the alliance, and fight to the end for Avite.
But even the so-called "God King" Avitt cannot go against the hearts of the entire royal family and ignore the foundation of his rule. After all, Avitt has only been on the throne for ten years, and he has only been on the throne for three and a half years.
, far from being compared with the "elder" who has influenced the alliance for half a century. With Shulot's loyalty and obedience, if Avitt rashly takes action to eradicate the Holy City, it will destroy the foundation of his rule!
To give an inappropriate example, in the Mexican Alliance at this time, the way in which the royal elders guaranteed Xiulote was roughly equivalent to...well, the Mongolian Khan Mengge, who was born in the Tolei line, and his younger brother Hulot
Kublai Khan deprived him of his military power and ordered him to meditate at home on the grounds that Kublai Khan had "foot pain". The elders of the Tolei family stood up and collectively acted as guarantees, trying to prevent the brotherhood from expanding and avoid Kublai Khan suddenly
"Sudden death"...
"Ancestral Witness! Uncle Kakamatsu, thank you, and thank you also to the many elders of the royal family!..."
After the turbulent thoughts, Hulot looked solemn and saluted Uncle Kakamazin again. Kakamazin looked into Shulot's eyes, held the hand of this "good uncle", and showed happiness on his face.
A smile. Then, he looked at the happy Alyssa next to him, pondered for a while, and suddenly said with a smile.
"Alyssa, little Xiuhua and little Didan, I wonder how the painting is going... Go to the studio and take a look at them!...I'll come and chat with Xiulote alone for a while..."
