The clerk's memory was very good. Not long after he returned to the room, he had written out the amnesty order in full. Not only were the words impeccably decorated, but the entire document reflected the Emperor's original intention.
The expression was vivid and vivid. When the amnesty order was sent to the Prime Minister, he passed it with a stroke of his pen.
But then, the Prime Minister fell into thinking and his expression was quite solemn.
Visu Keda knew that it was very painful for Cohen to make this decision. Although under the current circumstances, the decision he made was correct and understandable. But Cohen himself had to bear the strange eyes of others, even himself.
Neither can forgive myself.
Everyone can see that when His Majesty the Emperor slapped Governor Velen in the main palace square in the torrential rain, he was filled with murderous intent... But later, not only Governor Velen saved his life, but everyone rebelled
All the bad debts incurred during the war were written off.
This is a great joy for those who have done dirty things, but for people on the other hand, it is very difficult to understand His Majesty the Emperor's decision.
The emperor's order is like a mountain, and the emperor's words are like iron. Once the words are published, there will be no more changes.
Looking out from the window, the raindrops all over the sky are not only not thin, but more dense.
"No! Absolutely not!" Someone on the top floor of the Royal Assembly Building shouted: "I cannot accept such a result no matter what!"
The bizarre development of the situation caused Princess Kelly Lorna, who has always had a fiery personality, to go berserk in the room where Cohen works daily. Before Princess Philly Lorna sternly stopped her, the beautiful carved wooden door was completely demolished.
It fell, and the huge mahogany desk was also split into two parts with her sword.
"Husband, how could you do this?" Princess Kaili stomped her feet in grievance, with tears in her eyes: "Everyone knows that he deserves to die!"
Cohen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to everyone, and remained silent. He only stared at the sky outside with his surprisingly calm eyes.
Princess Kelly, who was gradually recovering from her anger, stood in the middle of the room. The other three princesses sat around on the velvet lounge chairs in the room. The white figure with downcast eyes stood by the door, his face full of calm. The man in armor
Crow stood on the other side of the door, arranging Princess Qinlun's hair wholeheartedly.
The key figure in the whole incident, Yarsad Saran, was sitting at a small table outside, witnessing what had just happened with horrified eyes. The glass of drink and several plates of snacks in front of him had already gone cold.
"No matter how difficult it was in the past, we gritted our teeth and endured it, because we believed that the restored empire would become brighter than ever before, and that this empire would be just and amiable... With this belief, we worked hard, and we
We fight hard and have no regrets." Princess Kaili dropped the dagger in her hand and said with a heavy heart: "Today, the empire was restored, but something like this happened... Husband, I can't convince myself, I
There is no way to re-establish faith in myself. Please tell me, what am I working hard for? Who am I fighting for?"
"Kelly, this is too much." Princess Feline glanced at Cohen by the window and stopped her sister from continuing: "You should understand that this is the only choice we have."
"Who said this is the only choice?" Princess Kaili raised her eyes again: "Before my husband became the emperor, when he encountered so many things, when did he have other choices? But when did his husband not use seemingly
The absurd solution has been solved? Husband, is the crown that the soldiers paid for with their lives just a useless waste!"
"It's getting more and more excessive." Princess Feilin suddenly stood up and pointed at the door: "Kelly - get out of here!"
In everyone's impression, Feilin had never lost such a temper, which showed that she was also very unhappy. When her sister got angry, Kelly was stunned on the spot with her mouth wide open, while the other two princesses quickly stood up to try to persuade her.
"Oh! The two sisters are still angry at each other. A Velen is not worth your anger!" Cohen, who was standing by the window, turned around. Everyone thought he should be depressed, but there was a smile on his lips.
They almost made several imperial concubines angry to death: "I'm talking about Feilin! Let Kelly say it! Tell them all, so that she won't spread her anger on other people..."
"You...you are so good!" Kelly pointed at Cohen, omitting the word "husband": "How can you be worthy of those subjects!"
"I gave them a stable life, what can I do to them?" Cohen spread his hands and defended himself very innocently: "Everyone should be grateful for my decision."
"Then how are you going to explain this to Yarsad? Explain to him that you let his enemy go?"
"I will explain it to him, and I will come in person." Cohen took two steps forward, raised his voice and said to the door: "Yarsad, can you come in for a moment?"
Yarsad walked in the door numbly, looking at Cohen but unwilling to get closer.
Cohen sat down first, and then pointed to a chair opposite: "Come and sit! As a man from the Salan family, you should have the courage and heart like your father."
Yarsad's less obvious Adam's apple surged, and he sat down opposite His Majesty the Emperor, but his expression was still numb.
"Yarsad, tell me, how old are you this year?" Cohen asked kindly: "You must have suffered a lot on the way to the Holy Capital, right?"
"His Majesty the Emperor, I am twelve years old this year." Yarsad opened and closed his lips mechanically: "I suffered a lot on the way to the Holy Capital."
"If I remember correctly, you should have just celebrated your eleventh birthday." Cohen shook his head: "When you were wandering, lying was a way to protect yourself, but here with me, you don't have to hide yourself so deeply.
.”
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor."
"For the sake of your family, you come to the Holy City to redress your grievances." Cohen nodded, not caring that his words made several princesses angry: "Without the care of your family, you wander alone, struggling to make ends meet.
Brain, life like this is very difficult.”
Yersad lowered his head and did not answer.
"I once heard a proverb that the revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable. In your heart, you must hate that person very much."
"Yes, His Majesty the Emperor, I wish he would die immediately." Yarsad raised his head, his eyes shining. He had no other thoughts in his mind, but he just hoped that he could change the emperor's decision at the last moment.
"Yarsad, after discussing this matter, I have a request." Cohen said seriously: "Originally, these words should be said to a mature man, but now you are the only one in the Salan family, so you have to
Like an adult man, shoulder the responsibility of the family... Because this matter involves too many people, I ask you to consider my words from an adult perspective, and use the wisdom of your father to carefully consider every word of mine.
The meaning behind the words.”
Yersad nodded in understanding, with a confused look on his face. Several imperial concubines also sat down one after another and listened to Cohen's words.
"First of all, forget about that damn amnesty order. It was for others." Cohen waved his hand: "In my heart, I have already convicted Velen, and other people who have committed crimes. I
My thoughts are even the same as yours, I think they should all be taken to the execution ground and have their heads chopped off in front of everyone."
Yersad nodded vigorously.
"But now there is a very difficult problem, because that bastard is a governor and has a group of desperadoes in his hands." Cohen dragged a short table over and spread out a map on it: "Look, Velen's
The province is here, and the provinces of other governors are here, here, and here...but my army is far away from them, do you know what this means?"
Yarsad shook his head. It would be great for an eleven-year-old child to be able to understand the map.
"This means that once we chop off the heads of these people, their tribesmen will immediately rebel, but our army will not be able to stop them in time." Cohen drew on the map with a pen: "You come from your home
Holy Capital, you should know how far this road is. Before our army arrives, they will do many cruel things. Do you know what that is?"
Yersad continued to shake his head.
"They will kill countless fathers, destroy countless families, burn down countless villages, create countless orphans, and countless children who have the same experience as you." Cohen explained calmly: "You have suffered like this.
Do you understand what it means to be helpless? Do you want things to turn out that way? Do you want so many people to lose their lives because of one of our decisions?"
Yersad neither nodded nor shook his head, but there was a look of pleading in his eyes.
"The Salan family has been loyal and brave for generations, and no one has ever disgraced the empire. As a man of the Salan family, you should think about the people in the territory... My child, you have endured hardships and experienced hardships, and your mind is far better than that of people of the same age.
Be strong, and you will be the worthy heir of the Salan family in the future. But now, you have to have the courage to face all this. But you are not alone, because I am here, and I will face it with you."
"I...I..." Yersad turned his head and looked to the imperial concubines for help.
"When an enemy appears in front of you, you have to order yourself not to think about revenge, and you have to calmly bear the incomprehensible eyes of others. These are all things that require immense courage to do, but I can assure you that such
It won't be long." Cohen said with a wry smile: "As a man, you have to face it with courage, and I have to face it with courage... We have to face it all together."
Yarsad remained silent, fighting in his heart.
"Good boy, think about it, if your father were here, what would he do?" Princess Feilin came up and held his hand: "It won't be long, you will definitely see Velen Fufa."
Yersad looked at Princess Feline, and his eyes gradually moved to Cohen.
"Yarsad, we have made an agreement. You have to study hard to become stronger, and I! I will keep this enemy for you. As long as you are capable, he will be at your disposal when the time comes.
"Cohen stretched out an index finger: "One year, in the name of the emperor, I promise that it will never exceed one year."
Under everyone's gaze, no matter what Cohen said, Yarsad never nodded. He naively believed that as long as he disagreed, the emperor would not let that person go. In the end, Cohen had no choice but to follow
Yarsad suggested we discuss it tomorrow.
"Husband, Yersad is not yet old enough to inherit the title." Princess Wensley reminded softly: "You have to make arrangements for him."
"Yes! Yersad has been wandering outside for so long, and he must have neglected his studies." Cohen nodded: "But with Yersad's status, it seems that only the dean is qualified to teach him knowledge, but the dean is so
busy……"
"Think of a way!" Princess Wensley glanced at Cohen: "Yarsad is the one who wants to inherit the family!"
"...We have a solution, Yarsad, just stay in my study! I will let several officials take turns to give you guidance. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can ask my father." Cohen.
Snapped his fingers: "In addition, I can also teach you something... You will inherit your father's title in the future, and you will also become the lord of a vast area. I hope you have enough skills to deal with it, not only the means, but more importantly
It’s the mind.”
Yersad's mind has been confused by this emperor.
"You just live in the palace and treat this as your own home." Cohen had to say more simply: "And we are your family, what do you think?"
"That's it! I'll make the decision for Yalsad." Princess Kelly was listening to Cohen's persuasion to Yalsad. She was also persuaded by Cohen. At this time, she walked over in a few steps and pulled Yalsad up.
De then left: "I'll go and choose a room for him first, and I also need to change clothes..."
"My husband is still very powerful and can convince Yersad." Looking at her sister's hurried back, Feline Rona couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle: "This girl, the steps are just right."
"I didn't convince him. Yarsad is a very smart kid who knows how to hide his strong character." Cohen shook his head: "He must even hate me now, and this matter will drag on for a long time...
"
"What should we do?"
"It doesn't matter, leave everything to me." Cohen smiled: "Yarsad is a young man after all, and we will have a common language." (To be continued)
