Roger thought that in ancient China, there were also people who lost their military power early, such as Li Yuan, who was respected as the Supreme Emperor.

But obviously Alexius does not intend to be the Supreme Emperor.

He guessed that from this point of view, Alexius was not dead, probably just seriously ill.

So he controls the army, but he cannot command the army effectively, and others cannot get involved.

He thought, this was simply a group of dragons without a leader.

Roger felt that he thought and understood, he said:

"I know it. It seems that Deputy Emperor John only controls the regime, but does not control the military power."

Muttier interrupted, "I'm afraid the regime does not have complete control."

Roger asked in surprise: "Why, isn't he the deputy emperor? Do there any bureaucrats dare not ignore him?"

"The information currently obtained is that bureaucrats are divided into two factions," Muttier said.

"The faction was headed by Deputy Emperor John.

"The other faction obeys Anna Komunina."

Roger asked in surprise: "Who is Anna Komunina? Why is she so strong if she can compete with the deputy emperor?"

Muttery introduced: "She is John's elder sister and Alexius' eldest daughter.

“She was born in the purple bedroom in Constantinople.

"Hence he is called Princess Purple, now he is 34 years old."

Muttier's voice gradually rose.

He waved his arms and narrated: “Anna received a good education.

“She studied literature, rhetoric and science, as well as ancient Greek philosophy.

“There are rumors that she is particularly passionate about studying philosophy.

"And with the help of her tutor, she studied history, medicine and mathematics."

“She is a knowledgeable person and has made achievements in every academic field.

“She even read ancient books like Odyssey, although his father did not allow her to access readings involving polytheism.

“And she has also been in charge of orphanages and large hospitals in Constantinople.

“That was a large institution that could satisfy 10,000 people’s treatment and life at the same time.

"It is said that she used medical and pharmaceutical knowledge in the hospital to solve a lot of patient problems.

"She is allegedly a gout expert and even cured her father, Alexius' gout disease.

“She was betrothed to Nicki Fruce 20 years ago.

"The Nickifrus family was the royal family of the Eastern Roman Empire before Alexius seized the throne.

“So, she received a lot of support from nobles.

"And her mother also favored her very much.

"Rumored that the Queen opposed Alexius' passing of the throne to John.

"The queen hopes to convince Alexius to pass the throne to Anna's husband, Nickifrus."

Roger stopped Muttiyi, who was talking nonstop.

He concluded: “That is, in the Eastern Roman Empire, the lower classes supported the Deputy Emperor John, while the nobles supported Anna.

"As a result, the bureaucrats were divided into two factions. Is this what it means?"

"Yes, leader."

Roger sent off Muttier, who was inexplicably excited, and he almost pushed Muttier out of the tent.

He believed that if he didn't, Muttier could talk to him for a day about Anna Komunina's achievements in history.

Roger thought, judging by this situation, when Alexius passed away, it was estimated that the Eastern Roman Empire would experience a turmoil.

He thought again, but this matter had nothing to do with me. All I had to do was to take Xiao Boximond to the Grand Palace to meet him three days later.

He thought that it didn't matter if the oath of allegiance was made on the spot, but the letter of title given by the Emperor of Eastern Roman was very important to Bosimmond.

Roger knew that in this era, most nobles who inherited titles had to swear allegiance to their superior nobles again before they could be recognized and thus inherit the titles left by the original nobles.

He didn't count himself.

Roger knew that those who inherited the title like him were exceptional.

He had no concern for his superiors at the time, Apulia and the Duke of Calabria.

He is like a local warlord and does not need to be recognized by others.

Sicily is almost an independent Count country.

But Boschmond is different.

The Principality of Antioch is now regent by Doncred's nephew, Rugero of Salerno.

If there was no certificate of title given by the Eastern Roman Emperor, Roger was worried that Rugero of Salerno would refuse to return the principality to him on the grounds that Bosimund, the Little Prince, did not inherit Prince Antioch.

Roger remembers that he learned what Lu Xun said in his previous life, "I have always been unafraid of speculating on the Chinese with the worst malice."

Similarly, he was not afraid to speculate on a regency in power with the worst malice.

Roger didn't want to, after working hard to take Bosimund to Antioch, he was turned away by Rugero.

So Roger needed help from Boschmond, and received this certificate of award.

Roger felt that this was not difficult either.

In just three days, I will just accompany Xiao Boximond to the Grand Palace for a walk.

He is happy to do so, too.

Roger thought, since he came to this famous Constantinople, how could he not go to the Grand Palace, which is known as gorgeously decorated and filled with luxurious items?

He was still worried that there was no reason to go in.

Roger then called Linardi and sent him to tell Bosimund that he would meet the deputy emperor three days later.

But in the evening, Henk, who was in charge of patrol, brought Roger a letter.

Henke said: "A stranger brought this letter and he claimed that there were important situations in the letter and needed to tell Bosimund, but I think I'd better give it to you first."

Roger asked: "Did our spy let him come?"

"No, definitely not. He doesn't understand our code words at all."

"Have you asked about his identity?"

"He didn't want to say it, but said that this letter is very important and is related to the prince's life."

"Where are others?"

"Go away."

Roger frowned and said, "Next time I meet such a mysterious person, take it down first and ask clearly before talking about it."

"How to ask? There is honey in the camp, but no goats."

Roger gave Henk a blank look and said, "Is there no other way but goats? Use your brain! Otherwise, let you lick it."

Henk showed a look of horror on his face, and then he left the tent with a dull look on his face.

Roger checked the letter and it was just plain parchment and it looked fine.

He opened the sealing wax and unfolded the rolled parchment.

The letter was written in Latin that the nobles often used here, rather than Greek that the common people like.

The writing style is very good, the words are used accurately, and the sentences are smooth.

This is a warning letter.

The letter used urgent words to warn the prince to be careful of the deputy emperor's tricks.

Beware of toxic food and toxic clothes, and lies.

The letter said that you should never go to see Deputy Emperor John, no matter what tempting promises he made, you must stay outside the city wall.

The letter also said that you should accept everything that the Deputy Emperor John provided to them with steadily.

Roger's face was serious.

He thought that he had just received documents from officials during the day, and someone would come to convey this kind of news at night.
