Chapter 42 On the conversation between Yang Fei and Alan
Except for Taize, no one will stop Yang Fei.
"The Duke has asked us to wait here. Please follow us in."
To Yang Fei's surprise, the gatekeepers were actually receiving Yang Fei and guiding him to the deepest place.
As the journey progressed deeper and deeper, Yang Fei, who was surrounded by many guards, suddenly said: "Hello?"
So the guards stopped one after another and responded respectfully: "May I ask if you have any orders?"
Yang Fei hurriedly asked with a sly smile: "Are there five hundred sword and shield men ambushing you in front, just waiting for me to go in and throw a cup as a sign?"
"Uh huh huh????"
Yang Fei smiled and patted their shoulders.
"It's okay, let's go."
Yang Fei resumed his journey, but the guards who led the way became dissatisfied and said as they walked: "Your Excellency, the Duke, has the air of a gentleman. He is gentle and gentle in his treatment of others and generous in his dealings. He is by no means the despicable person you imagined."
"Yeah?"
After reading all the letters written by Elizabeth to Yang Fei and knowing its dark side, Yang Fei is also familiar with Allen's character. - A gentleman? A hypocrite!!
The guards led Yang Fei to the study. There were not many people in the study.
Duke Allen and Elizabeth's biological sister Fiona, Fiona's belly is already quite big, not only the child in her belly, but her body is also exuding an increasingly mature charm, and she is also a beauty.
Allen said as if he was well prepared: "Take your wife down, and don't come near unless ordered. Simon and I will talk alone."
Fiona held Allen's hand worriedly, and Allen gently patted the back of her hand with his other hand.
"Don't worry, it's no big deal."
"Be careful."
"Um."
Watching Fiona and the guards leave, Allen sighed and asked first: "Have you already understood everything when you came to see me?"
Yang Fei nodded and said confidently: "Absolutely."
So Alan sat on the desk without any pretense and asked him: "Then what do you want to do?"
Yang Fei frowned and retorted, "What do you want to do?"
Allen directly played his trump card: "Take Elizabeth and leave here and never come back."
Yang Fei was surprised.
"So simple?"
"What do you think? Isn't this the best way to deal with it?"
So Yang Fei pondered for a while and asked after a while: "What is the basis for you to make a decision?"
"...It seems we need to have a good talk."
Allen said seriously:
"Everything starts with the beast tide.
The beast tide was a disaster in the Southern Territory. Not only did my father die, but most of the small and medium-sized nobles and landowners who had experienced Taoism and family backgrounds were also killed. The older generation of small and medium-sized nobles and landowners formed the foundation of my rule in the Southern Territory. I alone
One person cannot manage the entire Southern Territory. I need them to help me manage the Southern Territory. They are my right-hand men. They can return to the original land to help me stabilize the refugees, allow the refugees to rebuild their homes and resume farming, and collect taxes for me during the harvest.
Let food and money, as precious as blood, come to me and give me the strength to rebuild the southern border."
Yang Fei frowned. "Does what you are talking about have anything to do with you and me?"
"Yes, of course it does matter."
Allen said: "Because both you and Elizabeth have done something wrong. The Southern Territory belongs to my Wakagudo family. There can only be one king here, and that is me - Allen Wakagudo!"
Although I was indeed immature and bad when I took over the Southern Territory, I represent my own rights and I am the king of the Southern Territory."
Yang Fei interrupted him impatiently.
"Who the hell wants to listen to your nonsense? You'd better tell me the key points. I'm not good for your senses!"
Allen: "Haha, after the beast tide ended, my father died and I just took office. I was too sad and did not perform my duties as a duke and did not effectively use the power in my hands.
The king did not work seriously, but his subjects needed to eat and live. They were panicked, anxious, and wanted to do things. Then Elizabeth appeared. Elizabeth is my nominal wife. She can represent the Wakagudo family. She
I can exercise my rights and she can give orders on my behalf..."
Yang Fei said angrily: "Did she do something wrong!? You stand on top of the inner city and look down. Did you manage the current prosperity of this stone castle? It was Elizabeth! It was Elizabeth who managed it.
You haven't contributed anything. You, a person who has done nothing, are blaming the people who really do the work. You are shameless!"
Allen also became angry.
"Yes, the current prosperity of the Southern Territory was brought about by her, Elizabeth, who contributed the most. Although the results are good, doesn't she have selfish motives?
As a member of my Duke's Wakagudo family, she stands on the commanding heights of all the powerful people in the South. She should convey orders to the powerful people in the South first. Even if there are very few powerful people available after the disaster, she should pass other small and medium-sized nobles.
And the landlords govern the southern border, through them they re-establish the destroyed ruling class and maintain the family ruling order.
And what did she do when she governed the southern border? Because most of the small and medium-sized nobles and landowners were not in line with her wishes, she didn't use them at all. She started a new idea and appointed and removed positions by selecting talents among the poor commoners. She was harming me.
She is harming the interests of the old dignitaries in the southern border and the foundation of our Wakagudo family."
Yang Fei cursed angrily: "What a bastard you are, don't you know the virtues of those small and medium-sized dignitaries? Those who had the guts to resist died in the beast wave, and those who survived were all villains who were greedy for life and afraid of death.
Are those rubbish powerful people who can only ride on the people's heads and lord it over themselves worthy of being officials? They can't do anything except suck the people's fat and squeeze the people's anointing. They are just a bunch of moths. Is there something wrong with your head, Allen?
Can you manage the Southern Territory with those borers? Can you turn Stone Castle into what it is now in a short period of time?"
Allen also said angrily: "You are not a ruler, you know nothing! What are the people? There is no difference between the people and the seeds scattered in the fields. They are all used for harvesting. The harvest in the south is not fundamental. The fundamental is to work for me to govern."
Are the people of this land loyal to me?"
He looked directly at Yang Fei and said: "Although many of the old dignitaries in the southern border have their own clumsiness, they understand the rules and it doesn't matter if they do things a little slower. Their abilities can be developed slowly. Just like me, I didn't understand anything when I first came to power.
But we have knowledge and culture, and with a little training, we will become famous without singing, and soar into the sky without flying. Elizabeth did something wrong in this regard. If Elizabeth didn't let them do anything, they would always be
Jiuzangfanbao, a group of wineskin and ricebags who are loyal to my Wakagudo family.
Elizabeth did not use these nobles who were literate and knowledgeable about culture and etiquette. Instead, she hired ordinary people with weak legs. Although the execution ability of the civilians was higher than that of these powerful people, they did not know the heights of the sky and thought that they could do everything well if they had the will and strength.
Breaking the rules is destroying the old ruling order."
Yang Fei angrily said with disdain: "It seems that our values are different."
Allen laughed:
"Haha, do you think Elizabeth is a good person? Do you think she is innocent?
She just takes a fancy to your innocence and is taking advantage of you.
She is smarter than anyone else, and the current situation in the Southern Territory was caused by her. She caused the undercurrent to surge in the originally peaceful Stone Castle City. She pretended to be powerful and used the name of our Wakagudo family to create her own power. She succeeded, and the Southern Territory
Two forces have gradually formed, one is the old ruling order headed by me, and the other is the emerging civilian class headed by you and Elizabeth.
Tell me, does Elizabeth do this to cause a schism?"
