Like the capital of any empire, the capital of the original Welsh Empire was also a place where nobles from all over the country gathered together. As the saying goes, dragons have their own paths, and snakes have their own paths. The nobles already knew this when the Sibia officials drew up the banquet list.
After hearing this news, in the end, no matter what mentality they had, no one would refuse this opportunity to meet the occupying emperor. So, he suddenly recovered from his illness at home and went to the palace to perform aristocratic fitness and play with the missing slaves.
There were people beating gongs and drums in the corner, and they couldn't wait to run to the palace to express their loyalty to the Sibia officials... All these performances were just to get the invitation to the banquet that night.
Because the demons did not express their opinions on Sibia's military occupation at the first time, this shows everyone that there is a lot to do in this matter. Then after the nobles saw Sibia's military strength and internal affairs strength, who can compete with Cohen
·The opportunity to meet Al Qaeda is extremely precious. What kind of person is this emperor? What kind of policy will he adopt to govern this land? This is related to the choice of the nobles in the political lineup, and more importantly to the nobles
Our current life and death and our destiny in the coming decades.
But as a passing empire that has lost its former strength, there are naturally a few unscrupulous nobles who are secretly planning and sharpening their knives. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, they want to use the extreme behavior of a few people to subvert an iron-clad occupation.
In fact, this idea is undoubtedly stupid. But these nobles firmly believe that their actions will be an example, a spark, as long as their actions can successfully ignite the dissatisfaction and support of the majority of people and overthrow the occupation of Sbia——
It’s just around the corner.
Under normal circumstances, for an occupied empire to be digested, there will be a process of military - turmoil - stability. Sibia has ended the military operation in a very short period of time for the first time, and is now making every effort to move from turmoil to stability.
However, these nobles who want to stand up have to do their best to push the process back to the turmoil or even the military stage. This is like a tug of war between the two sides. Whoever wins this round wins everything, regardless of who participates in the tug of war.
On one side, they are all trying to win the support of the middle group of nobles, because these nobles are equivalent to the red mark on the rope, and the key to tug-of-war lies in the position of the mark. As long as the mark moves towards them, no matter how long the rope is pulled by the other party,
It's useless... but this is obviously a form of cheating.
Although Emperor Sibia seemed indifferent to many things, his officials understood His Majesty's mentality very well. Therefore, the careful officials arranged the entire banquet in an orderly manner, with a long invitation list.
It was delivered to Cohen Kedar an hour later. There was a detailed annotation after the name of each invited noble, not only a brief biography and family introduction, but also the friendliness index of the person; at the end of the list
Finally, there is a red list provided by the liaison officer in charge of the Wales area. The first half of the red list are people who are hostile to Cohen and Sbia. The people in the second half of the list are not only hostile, but also have plans to implement them.
among.
His Majesty Cohen Keda, who was holding a wine glass and leaning against the fence, read the list, but did not speak immediately. He just looked away and gradually cast his eyes to the sunset on the horizon. His Majesty's face was expressionless, but gorgeous.
The light reflected by the sunset has already dyed his black eyes red... The people around His Majesty, whether it is the secretary, Bai Ying, or Glens, who is a surrendered general, are silent, because in the
Under such circumstances, every word His Majesty speaks will cause bloodshed everywhere.
"It was the first time I brought an army to the Devil. I also watched the sunset like this." After a long time, Cohen spoke, his tone was surprisingly calm, "At that time, I was just a general, and the decisions I needed to make were...
It’s just about a war..."
The tense atmosphere filled the air, and the people around His Majesty remained silent. Although they were very close to Cohen, at this time, no one even dared to look at Cohen who was speaking - the emperor's majesty often failed.
It was created by the current situation.
"Secretary..." His Majesty the Emperor finally finished his sentiments and picked up another official document lying beside him, "Everyone is clamoring to kill the nine tribes of the two former emperors of the empire. What are the nine tribes?"
"Nine tribes... Your Majesty, there are probably two explanations for this." The secretary thought for a while, "The first refers to the nine generations from the great ancestor to the great-great-grandson. The second refers to the four generations of the father's family.
, three generations of the mother's family, two generations of the wife's family; there are also times when the Nine Clan is just a nickname, meaning to kill a large family, and there is no connection outside the direct line; but there are also times... not only the above two explanations, but also the
Friends and teachers must also be included."
"So what's the current situation?" Cohen looked at the people around him and asked calmly, "These two emperor's friends and commanders, you haven't arrested any of them, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, because we still don't know what your Majesty is going to do, all the original royal families of the two empires have been detained." The secretary replied, "The original royal family of the Camp Empire is on their way to be detained. They will be detained within three days."
There will be nearly a thousand people arriving.
His Majesty nodded first and then asked, "There is no distinction between men and women?"
The secretary lowered his gaze and replied: "There is no distinction between male and female."
Cohen put down his wine glass, walked up to Major General Glens with moderate steps, looked into the young general's eyes with a calm look, and said softly: "When it comes to hate, Mr. Glens is probably the best."
I hate these people, do you have any suggestions on how to deal with them?"
At this moment, Major General Glens knew that he could not hesitate and knew that he should immediately say a harsh word that suited Emperor Sbia's wishes. However, the harsh words stubbornly stuck in his throat and could not flow into his mouth.
...After all, among the nine clans, friends, and teachers of the former royal family, there are many people who make this general worried.
Looking at Major General Glens, who had a resolute expression on his face but could not refrain from speaking harsh words, Cohen smiled slightly, turned around and said, "This is a matter! I want Mr. Glens to do it for you today."
His Majesty's words were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. Major General Glenn's body trembled involuntarily... Even the expressions of others changed. His Majesty Cohen asked a subordinate general to kill his former friend. He was simply sending a message to Glenn.
Major General Si will die!
"Well, I'm thinking, why do we want to kill so many people? Killing too many people is never a good thing! So! Mr. Glens, please take my warrant and let go of those who are not directly related to the original royal family.
I will give you the title of the house, so that I can appease you. I will decide other matters later..." At this point, Cohen turned around and asked strangely, "Mr. Glens? Your face doesn't look right.
Great, are you tired from working for days?"
"I am not tired." Major General Glens, who had tasted all the tastes of life in an instant, got excited and put his feet together. "I am with you at your Majesty's side. Your Majesty, who is busy with everything, has never said you are tired. How dare you speak nonsense!"
"I've only been with civil servants for three days, and Sir Glens is already saying flattering words? This habit is not good for soldiers. Get rid of it."
Cohen nodded and said with a smile: "I will issue new invitations to these people, regardless of the past grudges. But there is one thing I have said before, that the United Nations will no longer pursue their past affairs, so everyone should keep their peace and don't let Siby down."
Ya’s kindness…just do something!”
"I will convey your Majesty's wishes to everyone!" Major General Glens saluted solemnly, "I will allow you to retire."
Cohen smiled slightly and nodded to the major general, who had the cold sweat on his forehead but had an extremely relaxed expression. The latter immediately exited Cohen's sight with a vigorous and youthful pace - Cohen authorized him to release and
There are no restrictions on people who are not directly related by blood to the original royal family. This means that he can let whoever he wants to let go, and he can't let go of anyone he doesn't want to. This is a letter of trust and comfort sent by His Majesty Cohen.
A great gift that combines high hopes.
"What your Majesty just said..." the clerk asked softly, "did you say it without paying attention?"
"When did I speak without paying attention? It is very important for an emperor to smile every day, because..." His Majesty Cohen turned his head, with a bad smile on his face, and said every word that left the secretary speechless.
If yes, "That will help digestion."
After receiving the emperor's warrant in the antechamber, Major General Glens went directly to the Guards barracks where prisoners were detained. The moment he walked out of the palace, the general began to mentally calculate how to deal with those "not directly related to the original royal family."
Interviews with “relational” people.
Because there were so many people imprisoned, except for a few members of the royal family with special status, everyone else was separated into wooden fences in the military camp playground. Major General Glens only asked the officer on duty to prepare a table on the sidelines.
, two chairs, and started this conversation that was related to the lives and deaths of many people. Of course, when Major General Glens, who was wearing a military uniform and had an expressionless face, entered the scene, the eyes that welcomed him could not be kind. In fact,
When I saw him approaching, jealous eyes flew across the sky, vicious curses spread everywhere, and the names of national thieves and traitors were music to my ears...
"It is a crime to mention someone." After sitting down, Major General Glens said calmly, "The ti patriarch of a family is not as good as the elders of three generations."
"Yes, sir!" The Guards officer on duty carried out the order without hesitation, and did not see any look at "outsiders" in Officer Sbia's eyes. This made Major General Glens very happy.
But what happened next made him feel extremely bad - with a "click", another chair was placed at the table, and a general who was dressed similarly to Glens and whose mobility was not very convenient sat down.
The person who came was Major General Glens' former adjutant Shaya, whose real name was Scindia Kenta, hereditary earl, and commander of the Major General of the Sbia Guards. Major General Glens watched Major General Scindia sitting at the table indifferently.
I spread the official document on the table and slowly prepared paper and pen, feeling increasingly depressed - looking at this posture, I will inevitably have to deal with this person in the future for the release matters I am responsible for!
"What are you doing here?" Glens' eyes were complicated. "His Majesty the Emperor asked you to come and monitor me?"
"Your Excellency left in a hurry and forgot many documents. His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to assist you." Scindia answered plainly, but his eyes were the same, which made Glenns extremely uncomfortable. "I will assist you."
I will assist you within the scope of my authority."
"In my opinion, this is just a trivial matter, and I'm afraid I don't need your assistance!" Even if there were others present, Major General Glens would not hide his dislike of Scindia, "I will go and talk to His Majesty the Emperor.
theory!"
"In the view of our Emperor, the most unforgivable thing for a general is to fail to complete his instructions. Whether it is a theory or a complaint, he must finish the work before leaving." Major General Scindia looked at him with his damn signature look.
Looking at the indignant Glens, "Of course, I am at the same level as you, and the above opinions are for reference only."
Since following Cohen Kedar, Major General Glens has fully learned the emperor's style of doing things. He knew that Major General Scindia's words were correct, so he sat down with a groan - fortunately, the chairs in the military camp were all military supplies.
No one dares to cut corners when manufacturing materials, otherwise not only will the chair be killed in the line of duty by such an indignant gesture, but the major general may also get his butt stabbed.
During the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two young Major Generals, an old nobleman who "had no direct blood relationship with the original royal family" had been escorted to the scene. This old nobleman was one of the many mentors of the former crown prince.
, is also a person that both major generals are familiar with - because both major generals have received medals from him. In the smoky aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, this old aristocrat has a fairly decent character and can write well.
His hobbies were relatively simple. However, at this time, the old noble was already suffocated by the heavy prison equipment and could only look at the two "young heroes" he had praised with mocking eyes not long ago.
"Remove the prison equipment." Major General Glens suppressed the urge to reach out and help him, "Sit down and get some water."
"My... life has come to an end?" The old nobleman, who could move his hands freely, first straightened up his demeanor, then picked up the water glass, took a small sip, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Not bad, not bad.
"At this time, there were still acquaintances coming to watch the ceremony, so I didn't feel lonely when I left."
When it comes to fighting, Major General Glens has no problem; when it comes to fighting hard, Major General Glens can do just fine. But when it comes to dealing with the old nobleman he wanted to save, Major General Glens suddenly finds that he lacks training - in his previous career, such as
This kind of gossiping is always done by his adjutant, adjutant Shaya.
"Your Excellency, you can leave happily, but that will be a matter in the future. This is not the issue we want to discuss today." As usual when he was an adjutant, Major General Scindia directly took the words and his tone changed.
Be kind.
"The reason why we invite you to come for an interview is just to tell you that you and your family have been pardoned by His Majesty the Emperor. Your title of nobility will be recognized by the Sibia Empire. You are already a noble of Sibia.
.”
"This is an invitation from His Majesty the Emperor." Major General Glens quickly took advantage of the old nobleman's daze and put the gilded invitation into his hand. "His Majesty the Emperor invites the adult members of your family to attend the banquet tonight."
After confirming that he heard correctly, the old noble slowly put down the invitation and asked, "My family has been pardoned, so the emperor and the prince..."
"Please note that you must use the former royal family to refer to them, because Sibia only recognizes their past identities." Major General Scindia immediately interrupted the old noble's question, "As for the fate of the former royal family members, His Majesty the Emperor is still
Consider it, but I personally think that His Majesty the Emperor will listen extensively to the ministers’ opinions after interviewing him, and your opinions will also be included.”
"The general's intention is that I must attend tonight's banquet." The old noble smiled bitterly, "Meeting the emperor of Sbia can be regarded as an opportunity to exonerate... the former royal family, but I want to ask,
What are the opinions of the two generals? You are also important ministers of Sibia."
"Kill the nine tribes." Major General Sindia answered this question without batting an eyelid.
Under the gaze of the old nobleman, Major General Glens also opened his lips and said like a parrot: "Kill the nine tribes."
"From this point of view, it is even more necessary for me to attend the banquet. Even if I am a soft-spoken person, I still have to say a few words to Emperor Si Biyi not to implicate the nine clans." The old nobleman put his hand on the invitation, "You guys just
Are you going to let me go to the banquet like this?"
After hearing the words of the old nobleman, Major General Glens wanted to slap himself in the face, because attending a banquet for a nobleman was a cumbersome matter. The carriage, entourage, and clothing were all careless. But he only wanted to let people go, so why did he ever consider it?
Did you get these things? If you let these people go to the banquet in their current clothes, the fun would be too much, and it is obviously too late to make arrangements now.
"His Majesty the Emperor sincerely pardons, and of course he will not embarrass everyone." Major General Scindia pushed the pardon document to the old nobleman, "Not only did we return the house, but we also prepared everything for your family. As long as you walk out of this playground, you will
I see the carriages and entourage assigned to you, and even tailors and jewelers, and all expenses for today will be paid for by His Majesty the Emperor."
"Is it that simple?" The old nobleman took the pen, but he didn't know what to say, "I just need to walk out of this place?"
"I think it's that simple." Major General Scindia looked at the other person, "Maybe Major General Glens has something else to say to you."
"His Majesty the Emperor asked me to convey a message to you." Major General Glens leaned forward slightly, "I didn't hold anything accountable in the past, but from now on, please stay on your own terms."
The old noble's pen tip was fixed on the paper, and he looked at Glens coldly, "What does it mean... to keep one's peace of mind?"
"Serve the entire empire, faithfully perform the duties and obligations of a nobleman, and do everything within the scope of one's authority, including admonishing His Majesty the Emperor." Major General Scindia replied calmly, "We regard the above behavior as lawful conduct.
.”
As a former mentor to the prince, the old nobleman naturally understood the meaning of the other party's words. In fact, he did not believe what the two young generals said, at least not completely. Serving the entire empire? How could Cohen Keda let others know about him?
Are they criticizing the entire Sibiya affairs? But their words made him have a strong curiosity, and he wanted to see the style of the Sibiya emperor. Even if the other party's banquet tonight was just a scam, the worst he could do was to return after the banquet.
This is just a playground.
After signing and sealing, the old nobleman completed all the formalities for the pardon. The officer next to him released his family members, issued them to the carriage attendants, and arranged for bathing and changing clothes. In a corner of the military camp, the old nobleman actually met a tailor and a jewelry merchant...
However, not everyone can attend the banquet. The young son of an old nobleman was sanctioned by Major Sindia and Isbia because he had previously insulted Major General Glens. Not only was he fined 500 gold coins, he was still fine.
I received thirty military sticks, and for the next ten days I could only lie in bed and groan.
However, the fight in the playground continued invisibly. Major General Glens's eyes showed no signs of softening, while Major General Scindia was organizing the documents as usual and calmly shouted: "Next.
