Chapter 419 [The so-called legend](1/2)
Chapter 419 [So-called Legend]
Ovedo felt his heart trembling.
Under the thick clothes, the back of the Chancellor had already been slipping and wet. At this moment, he stared at the high-ranking new emperor with a stern look. Ovedo suddenly felt a chill in his heart!
What exactly will His Majesty Hilo do?
Under his seemingly indifferent appearance, is he a crazy heart? Do you want to drag this empire and slide into the abyss together?
Taking a deep breath, Ovedo looked straight at Hilo and slowly said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty... this is inconsistent with the example!"
Hilo also stared at Ovedo: "The convention... there will always be a break!"
"..." Ovedo was held back for a moment, bit his lip, and simply shouted: "Your Majesty! Are you not worried about the reaction of Duke Tulip!"
Shilo smiled. His handsome face had a faint smile, but seemed to be leisurely: "I think a pillar of the empire like Duke of Tulip will have enough mind."
...What is this answer!
Ovedo muttered in his heart.
(madman!)
The old minister added another sentence in his heart.
When Ovedo and Hilo were talking, no one in the hall said, and everyone looked at the emperor and the old minister with trembling eyes. Everyone's face was filled with tension and anxiety.
Of course, except Aker. The leader of the Tulips family is still like that: he leans on his sword with his hands and squints his eyes, as if he is still wandering.
Ovedo knew very well that if he continued to say more at this moment, it would only arouse the emperor's disgust. However, as the imperial minister of the finance department, this old imperial minister who had been in a high position for decades, could not let go of the responsibility in his heart.
He took a deep breath. He looked around and looked behind him...
However, what disappointed Ovedo was that all the officials who were touched by his eyes hurriedly moved away their eyes and did not dare to look at them.
Stay out of the matter? Haha...
Ovedo smiled bitterly in his heart.
Then, a hint of awesome and heavy expression appeared on the face of the Chancellor of the Consortium! His eyes became more and more firm!
"Your Majesty!" Ovedo raised his head: "I'll give you a single concert!"
Shilo hesitated for a moment, and a trace of solemnity finally emerged in his eyes when he stared at Ovedo!
"……allow!"
As he stood up, with his wide sleeves waved his hands, the eunuch beside him had already announced loudly.
When the eunuch announced the end of the meeting, the high-ranking officials of the empire escaped almost with a panic attitude of running away!
No one greeted Ovedo and said goodbye. When everyone walked by him, they deliberately kept away from him, as if there was some terrible bacteria on him.
Ovedo stood there, his strong body, like a rock in the tide: hard!
and……
Lonely!!
The hall soon became quiet.
Ovedo glanced left and right and found that Aker was still standing in the distance in the military's number one boss.
Aker, who had been wandering around, seemed to have finally woken up at this moment. He turned his head and looked at Orvedo deeply, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ovedo frowned and snorted.
He knew very well that others would leave, but Aker would never leave - after all, he was the emperor's number one confidant.
At the end, Shilo waved his hand, and even the eunuch beside him bowed and left quickly with small steps.
When the entire hall was left with only three kings and ministers... the main entrance of the hall slowly closed!
It seemed as if the last ray of sunlight was blocked outside, and the entire hall fell into darkness!
Ovedo felt a gust of blood in his body, and he looked down at the stone slabs on the ground...
He looked at it for a long time!
"Oviedo, what are you looking at?" Hilo stood before the throne.
Ovedo smiled faintly: "I'm looking at this floor."
"Oh?" Shilo frowned.
Ovedo looked up and said, "I heard that that day... Kaman and Rodriguez IV died here, and their blood once cast into the stone slabs here."
Aker around him suddenly changed color!
The general held the sword's hand and immediately tightened his eyes, narrowed his eyes and stared at the old minister beside him.
Hilo's eyes flashed, and he just looked at Orvedo quietly without saying a word.
After a long time, Shilo let out a sigh and said slowly:
"Oviedo, are you trying to anger me?"
"Hilo, are you trying to stir up a civil war?" Ovedo did not let him go, staring at the emperor on the steps with a tough stance!
A pair of monarchs and ministers looked at each other like this.
The Minister of Finance clenched his fists. Although the young man in front of him was high, the old minister had no fear on his face at this moment!
Aker had already turned his body, his eagle-like eyes staring at Ovedo. His fingers pinched the hilt of the sword, and the tip of the sword made a sharp squeak on the floor...
finally……
Shilo suddenly took a step back and slowly sat back to his throne.
The young emperor once again showed a faint, casual smile on his face.
"I know... you, there are many people. In your heart, you must think I am a lunatic."
Ovedo didn't say anything, but his old face had a firm expression as usual.
Hilo stared into Ovedo's eyes, and then, in a slow tone, said softly:
"But you all forgot... I am an emperor!" His tone seemed to have a special emphasis: "Even if you are a madman... I am an emperor first!"
Shilo gently stroked his forehead with his hands, and his eyes finally passed over Ovedo and then landed in some unknown place.
Gradually, his words became a little unpredictable, and his eyes seemed to be a little erratic.
"Let's think about what happened to the emperors before me, Ovido.
I think that from ancient times to the present, no dynasty will have such a twisted state as we are now. No royal family of a dynasty will endure it again and again. Under its own rule, there is such a huge existence as tulip.
Before me, it should be said that it includes my inner self and my brother - the wise king you think. And our father, our grandfather...
Each generation of the throne inheritance must send people to the northwest to get the nod of the leader of the Tulip Family and obtain his support.
As the emperor, when I succeeded to the throne and was crowned, I should have a crown on my head and a scepter in my hand!
However, Oviedo, don’t you think such a thing is ridiculous? As the emperor, every heir to the throne needs to be carefully approved by a minister!
Not once, not twice, but three times. Four times! Even... it may continue like this!!
My dear Minister of Finance! I think a well-educated person like you must have read historical books carefully! So please tell me which dynasty will have such powerful ministers!
Oh no. This is not a powerful minister, but... a powerful clan!!
In the history I have seen, there may be situations where there are strong ministers and weak ministers, perhaps because the ministers have held high power, or perhaps because the king is too young...
But history tells us an inevitable rule: things like powerful ministers cannot last for a long time! Or, when it comes to a certain time, you must retreat obediently and hand over the power in your hands!
Or, the powerful minister becomes the emperor!
But what about now?
Generations of emperors, generations!! Generations of people have to look at Tulip's face! When we succeeded to the throne, we held a scepter in our hands, but this scepter must first be approved by Tulip!!
When a major event occurred in the empire, everyone would say: Oh, first ask what Duke Tulip means!
When something unusual happens on the border, everyone will say: Oh, go and invite Duke Tulip to come forward!
When a dispute arises among factions in the army, everyone will say: Oh, please take charge of the Duke of Tulip!
I only remember that when I was young, I was only seven years old that year! My father took me and my brother, and we went to patrol the Storm Legion together... When the Thorny Flower Emperor Flag appeared, the soldiers cheered.
Then... when the flame tulip flag of the Duke of Tulip appeared... the cheering sound almost lifted me off the horse!
Yes, tulips are a protective umbrella of the empire, it is the pillar of the empire, and it is the spiritual totem that thousands of people look up to!!"
Ovedo felt a little speechless, but he still shook his head and said slowly: "Your Majesty... But if the Tulip Family had not turned the tide and led the army to defeat the orcs..."
"But! Yes! That's it! It's gone! One hundred years!!!!"
Shilo suddenly became popular!!
He jumped up from his seat!
The blonde hair on the emperor's head seemed like flames! His eyes almost spit out the fire!!
"Yes! Oviedo! You are right! Almost everyone will say this when you say it! The Tulip family is great! Highlights!! The first Tulip Duke was a great man!! He saved the empire and Roland!! He saved my Augustine royal family!!!"
To be continued...
