The spring sky is floating in the sky, the lake breeze is clear, the birds are singing, and the flowers are blooming. It is a good time in late spring, a good day for nobles to travel. In the southwest corner of the capital city in the lake, there is a sparsely populated and quiet small manor for the nobles.
They went out for a rest. Outside the manor, there were green reeds swaying, and there were several small boats docked at the nearby pier.
At this moment, outside a stone hall in the manor, there were dozens of noble warriors wearing different leather armors, who were on guard. Several nobles wearing light robes and feather crowns were sitting in the stone hall.
, drinking tequila and talking angrily.
"...the gods created the era of five suns! Each city-state is like an independent wolf pack, with a jungle-like order. The followers of the wolf pack must obey the guidance of the wolf king. And the wolf kings everywhere
Lead the pack of wolves and obey the supreme Jaguar King. There is a clear distinction between heaven and earth, and the hills are independent of each other. This is the rule that has not changed in the world for thousands of years!"
Pacho, the leader of the Xiajin clan, drank down the tequila in one gulp, stood up with his eyes widened. He looked around at the people present, raised his arms and shouted, expressing his inner anger and fear.
"Now, the king and the high priests have joined forces to intervene in the autonomy of the nobles of various states and subvert the old rules! This is like a jaguar walking into a pack of wolves, destroying the unity of each wolf pack, instigating the submissive followers of the wolf to go
Fight with the leading wolf king! Such a vicious strategy may not be the original intention of the king and the priests and elders, but may be the work of the ruthless chief intelligence officer!"
"That's right! The order of the world has changed, and the alliance has been overthrown. Despicable villains are like dark clouds covering the sky, and there is no more just and immortal sun!"
In front of several acquaintances with the nobles, the leader of the Reed Clan, Xintel, was worried. He also sighed and expressed his position in a deep voice.
"In the sacred tradition of the alliance, the king is a just and big talker, while the glorious nobles of each state are independent small talkers. Now, the royal center stretches out its greedy tiger claws and hurriedly grabs everyone.
The city-state grasped the tributes, tributes, and warriors in its hands! Treating the great nobles who are living with the country as light feathers! I am afraid that this is not the will of the Lord God, but the temptation from the underground demon...
.”
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense. Chief Xintel, you are drunk!"
The leader of the Spruce Clan, Huochikalo, looked embarrassed and uneasy. He knew very well how terrifying the royal secret guards were, and he was unwilling to scold the chief intelligence officer in charge of the secret guards as a villain or a monster in the lake capital. He looked at
Look at the people drinking, lower your voice, and be careful in admonishing them.
"No matter what, King Avit attacks all tribes in the world and is invincible. He is the supreme god-king! Over the years, under the guidance of the god-king, the alliance has grown day by day. We Mexica people have become the ethnic group that rules the world, and
All the glorious nobles are also high above the descendants of gods in the world, sharing the glory of the Lord God!...This is all the merit of the God King, even better than the previous kings..."
"Spruce Huochikalo, you are also a glorious noble in Sourwood City! Seeing that the neighboring Sourwood family is divided into four, there is an additional chief priest in charge of teaching... Phew, from now on
What a day! Haha!..."
Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin tribe, drank another drink, his face turned slightly red from drunkenness. He glared at Xochikaluo, the leader of the Spruce tribe, and shouted again.
"Hochkalo, I don't believe you don't have any ideas in your heart! If I remember correctly, your first wife gave you three grown-up children... Could it be that you also want to wait until you die?
Will the Sugi family be divided into three?"
Hearing this heart-wrenching question, Xochikalo's face darkened. He lowered his head and drank the wine, covering up his uneasiness. How did the leader of the Sourwood clan, Jotiko, die? In the king's heart, what was the attitude towards the powerful nobles?
What attitude?... As a former participant, he knows it clearly.
Before taking control of the Sourwood Legion, he could cooperate with the royal family without any burden, and together they assassinated Jotiko and seized the power of the city-state. However, now that he has mastered the actual power of the city-state, he has naturally become the talker of various states.
In his position, he instinctively resisted the centralization of royal power!
"Hoo, praise the Lord God! The venerable King Avite is leading us like a divine eagle! Her divine gaze should be watching the hostile tribes in the world, and should not be distracted by the small domestic affairs of the nobles everywhere.
..”
Yin Ze, the leader of the mountain clan, raised his head, held the sun amulet around his neck, and praised the king. Then he lowered his voice, looked at the rest of the people, and asked cautiously.
"Perhaps we can invite an old man from the royal family to appeal to the nobles from all over the country...such as the respected new chief minister, the elder Kakamazin?"
"The elder Kakamazin is a kind man and is very friendly with the great nobles of various states. However, he never participates in politics and will not oppose the king's will."
Yuyan elder Mituowu shook his head and spoke for the first time at the banquet. The Yuyan family rules the Sun City Tonatico, and is actually a local branch of the Mexica royal family. At this moment, Yuyan clan leader Mihoti,
He also led the Yuyan Corps and was stationed in the South Route Army. When Mituowu came to the banquet, he never thought that he would encounter such a situation.
"The powerful nobles of the alliance and the talkers from all the states are all complaining and feeling dissatisfied! King Avit's rule... ugh! It has indeed gone too far."
Hearing the complaints of the great nobles, Elder Mituowu pursed his lips, feeling a little shocked and a little worried. The reason why he came to the capital this time was also because the Suanmu family was divided into four, which brought Yu
The Yan family was shocked.
The leader of the Yuyan clan, Mihoti, is actually the child of the late emperor Asaya Catel and the female chieftain of Tonatico. The elders in the family, including Elder Mitowu, all belong to the maternal side.
Therefore, Prince Moctezuma II is Milhoti’s half-brother. This is a hidden danger of inheritance, especially not long ago, Prince Moctezuma II followed the legacy of his late king Asaya Catal.
According to the decree, he officially married Mihoti's half-sister and fully obtained the inheritance rights of the Yuyan family!
"If the royal center uses this as an excuse to divide the Yuyan family. Or if Chief Mihoti has an accident during the expedition, then the future of the family and the rule of the city-state may be..."
Mituowu hurriedly came to the lake capital with the authorization from the elders, just to communicate with the royal family as a branch of the royal family, obtain the king's promise, and identify the future heir of the family.
"Dear speakers, the decree issued by the king to the nobles is like a stone falling into the water. It not only splashes water all over the sky, but also scares away the birds by the lake! And such stones fall one after another,
Who can sit idly by and ignore it?”
Reed Clan Chief Xintel looked solemn. As a landowner, he pondered for a moment and then led the discussion of the banquet again, talking about the most important inheritance dispute.
"Last month, some older nobles united and sent the elders of the clan to complain to the high priests, giving their most sincere suggestions: 'Starting from the first ancestor Akama Picchitli, all the elders have
The inheritance of the great nobles of the state has always been the self-determination of the elders within the family! In the 160 years since the founding of Trochtitlan, the capital of the lake, the royal family has never intervened to determine the inheritance practices of nobles in various places...'"
"I heard about it too! The high priests rejected the nobles' suggestions and actually replied..."
Paqiao, the leader of the Xiajin clan, blushed and relayed in a deep voice with suppressed anger.
"In the history of the alliance, there have been two precedents for kings to make decisions and determine the heirs of nobles. The Lord God gave divine revelations and the elders established religious laws in order to regulate the order among nobles and protect the rights and interests of nobles and nobles! The newly established
The Arbitration Chief Priest will not take the initiative to interfere in the family affairs of nobles. Unless a descendant with inheritance rights encounters darkness and injustice like the moon, he takes the initiative to invite arbitration and lets the sacred sun dispel the darkness..."
"Listen, listen! What are you doing? This is inciting our heirs to kill each other, disregarding the family inheritance, and smashing the earthen jars at home to pieces!"
Hearing this, the expression of the young mountain chief Yin Zeer changed, and he felt strong dissatisfaction in his heart.
As a humble bastard, he first secretly delayed and watched his brother being killed, then conspired with the general intelligence officer to send his father to the Kingdom of God, and then he took the position of the leader of the mountain clan. He knew better than anyone else that the suppressed inheritance
What a strong desire people can have, and resort to any means to use external forces to seize the inheritance that is just around the corner!
"The royal family intervenes in the inheritance, and the descendants divide the family equally. Once such a precedent is set, the noble and glorious nobles of each branch may never have peace again! There will also be evil between brothers and sisters..."
Yin Zell, the leader of the mountain clan, closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and softly agreed.
Although he climbed to a high position by stepping on the bones of his relatives, he never hopes that his descendants will be in the same situation. Among all the great nobles here, he is the one who most longs for brothers, friends, respectful brothers, a loving father and a filial son, because
That was exactly what he had been asking for since he was little.
"Ahem! The division of the Sourwood Family should be just a special case. The wise King Avit is determined to conquer the world, and he wants to conquer all directions! He will definitely not abuse the power of the God King and repeatedly touch the bottom line of the great nobles."
Seeing that the content of the discussion was gradually slipping into danger, Yuyan Elder Mituowu had to stand up and smooth things over with a smile.
"At this moment, His Highness Hulot is leading three legions from the southern city-states, besieging the last fortress of the Tlaxcala people, and attacking the disrespectful Totonac people. The alliance's territory is about to expand again, and the century-old
The old enemy will also shed his blood... Let us raise our glasses to congratulate His Highness, congratulate the king, and congratulate the Lord God!"
"Congratulations to His Highness, congratulations to the king, and congratulations to the Lord God!"
The city-state talkers looked at each other, their faces changed, they all raised smiles and raised their glasses in celebration. Spruce Clan Chief Xochikaluo's eyes flashed, his fat face smiled, full of sincerity.
"I heard that after the Tlaxcala people's last Cloud Serpent fortress falls, the land of the four states of Tlaxcala will be transferred to the nobles of the alliance states, and His Highness Chimalpili will be the king! This time
During the Eastern Expedition, you have all seen that the Tlaxcala Basin is so fertile!...The king of Kang Gai has promised to use double the territory of the four states in exchange for nobles who are willing to transfer the title!"
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, and thoughts flashed in their hearts. Reed Clan leader Xintel thought for a while and asked with a smile.
"Oh? Spruce Xochkalo, are you planning to transfer it to the land of Tlaxcala?"
"Exactly! Following His Highness Chimalpili, exploring the fertile land in the east, and expanding our Mexica city-state is exactly the guidance given by the Lord God!"
Huochikaluo, the leader of the Yunshan clan, stretched out his hand and drew the sacred character "囵". In Sourwood City, the Yunshan family has been subordinate to the Sourwood family for a long time, and it does not control the largest territory and population. And he
The control over the Sourwood Legion is far from enough, and it cannot be as powerful as Jotiko who died in battle.
"So, as long as the price is right, it is not a pity to give up everything in Sourwood City and transfer to the fertile land of the east!"
Now, the central territory directly under the royal family has expanded to the area around Sourwood City in the west. Hochkaluo assessed the situation and decided to sell off other nobles in the city-state and hand over Sourwood City to the royal family. Of course, the premise is to obtain sufficient territory in return.
, and obtained the family's promise of independent inheritance.
"Blessed by the Lord God! We will continue to move towards victory and dominate the tribes from all over the world! Come, come, drink, drink, drink the tequila that has been stored in the palace of Tree Snake City for more than ten years!"
Knowing the Yunshan Clan Chief's idea of transferring the title, the Reed Clan Clan Xinter's eyes flashed and he stopped continuing the topic. He looked at each other with the Xiajin Clan Chief, then looked at the Mountain Clan Chief, then smiled and raised his glass with everyone.
He drank the wine. Then, he clapped his hands and loudly ordered the guards.
"With fine wine, how can we not have beauty? Come, let the noble ladies of Tlaxcala, with their naked snake bodies, perform a close-fitting cloud snake dance for the noble tigers of Mexica!"
