The stars are like a sea, shining in the night sky. Therefore, the color of the night is blue in the depth, darkness in the deep blue, and faint light in the silence. Looking at it at this time, although the night sky is silent, it is by no means flat.
, but a changing three-dimensional shape, as if reflecting the rotation of the galaxy.
The king's words were as calm as the night, floating lightly into his ears. Bertard raised his head in surprise, looked up at the king's profile, and saw the dreamy background. At this moment, he felt that the king's expression was like the stars in the background.
Likewise, there is vastness hidden in the silence. It seems calm, but there is something spinning in the depths of the eyes.
"Your Highness, Your Highness Xiuhua is still young, and Totonac's conquest does not have the king's endorsement. At this moment, making such a request to King Avit will probably make the king dissatisfied."
Bertard fell on the ground and warned softly.
"The two princes of the royal family are currently unofficial. The eldest son of the late king, Montezuma II, has reached adulthood and still lives in the capital. The same is true for the second son of the late king, Cuitlavac, not to mention the other royal nobles.
At this time, asking His Highness Xiuhua to seal the vast land of Totonak will probably make the various royal families dissatisfied and arouse jealousy."
"Yeah! I understand what you mean."
Shulot nodded slightly, memories came to mind, and his eyes were a little complicated.
"King Avit once made an agreement with me to guard the west for him. All the lands to the west of the Lake Kingdom were promised to my hands, and I could attack them all! But now, I have reached out to the east and created such a huge battle.
, he will definitely be dissatisfied."
"It's just that the Eastern Seaboard is very important. Now that I have the opportunity to obtain the layout of Cuba, I can't let it go! Even if it makes the king dissatisfied, I still have to occupy the place that should be occupied! Because, time
Won’t wait for us”
Hearing this, Bertard remembered the terrible prophecy that His Highness once described. He pursed his lips, bowed deeply, and whispered a promise.
"Your Highness, travel east to Cuba, manage Snake Island, and resist the white people. I will never let you down!"
"Well, Bertard, I believe you! When the rainy season passes, I will add more troops to the Black Wolf, and I may even go to the East China Sea in person to take charge of the overall situation. And when the kingdom opens up the Totonac coast, the next
The important task depends on you!"
Xiuluo nodded and warned carefully. His eyes became firm, but a smile appeared on his face.
"Of course, I will not stand up to the king and covet the extra land. Most of the Totonak land will belong to the alliance and be controlled by the king. The so-called enfeoffment of Xiuhua is actually to make up for the conquest of the seaside.
In the name of the land, I got the king's endorsement and gave the alliance an explanation for sending troops. As for what the kingdom needs, it is just a string of coastal strongholds. For a large inland country like Wushan City, I will give it to whomever it is entrusted to.
The king decides!”
"Ah? Your Highness, if this is the case, the dissatisfaction of the royal family and nobles can be quelled. The Kingdom of the Lake has sent out an expedition, and King Avit has won most of the territory. He can control key transportation roads and transfer the title of feudal title to the great nobles in various places.
,.The king must also be able to accept it!"
"Yeah. I will write a long letter to King Avit to explain in detail. The Lake Kingdom has taken several seaside strongholds just for the prophecy of the East China Sea."
Having said this, Shulot looked towards the distant east and sighed silently. He was silent for a long time before continuing.
"Time is running out! Whether the king believes it or not, the arrival of the white-skinned demon will naturally verify everything I said. What's more, the centralization reform implemented by the king at this time cannot be separated from the great nobles of the alliance.
My support! At this time, he will never try to push me to the side of the nobles."
".yes!"
Bertard raised his head and took a closer look at His Highness's calm expression, feeling deeply moved in his heart.
"How can His Highness be so calm and speak out about his choice to join forces with the great nobles to fight against the king! The king has finally grown up!"
The king who has embarked on the road to power can only be pushed by the rising political groups to continuously seize power without retreating at all! At this time, the relationship between King Avit and His Highness Shulot is no longer the same.
What was once a purely beautiful teacher-student relationship has become a political ally who plans and compromises with each other.
"Well, after thinking about it, King Avite should probably agree to my request for a title for Xiuhua. However, I still have to be as respectful as possible in my words, so as not to offend the king's authority. Xiuhua is very young, and the land of Totonac is in name only
The title given to him is actually still managed by the royal family. What I worry about is that the king may use this reason to keep Xiuhua in the capital and teach him personally."
Shulot closed his eyes and deduce the political situation of the alliance in a low voice. As a student trained by Avitt, he knew Avitt very well, just as Avitt knew him.
"Bertard, the heir to the Kingdom of the Lake, if he grew up in Trochititlan and was influenced by the king, would the generals of the kingdom accept him?"
"Your Highness, I dare not make an assertion. But I believe that as long as you are still there and have your will, the generals will never dare to resist!"
Bertard lowered his head and spoke very carefully. He believed that His Highness could understand his hidden meaning. If Prince Xiuhua sided with the king, he would harm the interests of the generals of the kingdom.
"Well, I understand."
Xiuluo nodded and did not continue the topic. He looked at the vast sea of stars, thinking about the history three hundred years ago, and told a story in a low voice, and his words became quiet.
"Bertard, witness the starry sky, let me tell you a true story! The owner of the story is a great chief who has never existed before. For the first time, all the loose ethnic groups on the grassland were kneaded together.
.He personally shaped a nation, conquered countless lands, killed countless enemies, and reshaped the direction of the entire world."
"Of course, you can just regard the previous content as a distant and inspiring story. But the ending of the story made me hesitant. In that ending, in order to rule the vast land that has never existed before, the great chief...
All the tribesmen were integrated into thousands or ten thousand households. Then, he made a rule to allocate the vast land and tribes to his different sons, which was called "the enfeoffment of the various sons". On this basis, he
He assigned the most basic capital and headquarters to his youngest son, which is called 'youngest son guarding the stove'."
"I see the vastness of the starry sky, and I also know that the boundlessness of the world will be far beyond everyone's imagination. Beyond the known world, there are endless continents in the north, endless continents in the south, and a series of islands in the east. Berta
De, do you think the method adopted by the great chief is feasible in trying to control such a vast area?"
