Hearing the mockery in Caviehir's tone, Xia Ya laughed, but couldn't help but glanced towards the upper steps.
"Don't look at it, I'm the only one who came down." Caviehir's expression was indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
Xiaya snorted, widened his eyes, and looked at Caviehir with courage. He was about to say something, but Caviehir seemed to have guessed what Xiah wanted to say, and wrote lightly: "You two are secretive. Hiding here, aren't you afraid that the master will find out? Although that guy Minas is quite generous in other things, as far as I know, he is very precious to this house. Hmm... You guys must be small when you come here. Roddy brought you here on his own initiative. That kid doesn't know the details of this house, hmph, if Minas finds out about this, I'm afraid that little Roddy's legs will be broken."
The poor bastard blushed. She came forward and begged Rody to borrow this house. She was the daughter of the royal family, and she was familiar with Rodi, the son of Duke Minas since childhood. Moreover, Rodi's sister was married to the Crown Prince Jia. West Asia, speaking of which we are all relatives, so naturally we have good friendships. If Roddy was unlucky because of what happened tonight, then she would naturally feel guilty.
Caviehir looked at the two young people, he seemed to have seen through everything, but he deliberately focused his eyes only on Xia Ya, and suddenly asked: "Xia Ya, you have been hiding in the dark just now. , You must have heard a lot of my conversation with Duke Minas?"
Xia Ya's heart tightened, and he wanted to deny it on the spot, but he thought about it immediately, he might just pretend to lie to others, but this old guy is definitely not someone who can be deceived by himself, so he might as well be honest Now, thinking of this, I nodded and said, "Yes, I heard some."
"Well, then, do you know who this house originally belonged to?"
Xia Ya's heart moved, looking at Caviehir's strange eyes, he couldn't help but come up with an answer in his heart, but he was still in disbelief, shook his head and said deliberately: "This house should be It belongs to the former residence of the legendary Tulip family. Isn’t it owned by Duke Minas now?”
Although what he said was simple, he was uneasy in his heart and couldn't help but peeked at Cavie Hill. The wise man was not annoyed either, but just looked at Xia Ya with a three-pointed smile in his smile: "The cunning boy is indeed taught by that guy—hmph, even pretending to be stupid is the same as he was back then."
After a pause, Caviehir suddenly sighed again, this time his eyes gradually showed a faint sadness, and said in a low voice, "Are you afraid to say it, or do you dare not believe it? Boy, Let me tell you clearly, this mansion belonged to that person back then! And before that person left, he gave it to Minas." Speaking of which, Caviehir sneered: "Xia, you won't return it now. I don't know who the 'that person' I'm talking about is."
Xia's heart was beating wildly, staring at Caviehir: "That person... you said... old guy he... he... "
Home of the Tulip Family!
The old house of the Osgilia family!
It was the industry of "that person" back then!
so to speak... so to speak...
Xia Ya suddenly remembered the huge statue in the Eagle's Nest of the Military Department, the man with the statue standing proudly on the horse...
Osgilia... tulips... old guy? !
The first family of the empire!
The most legendary and mysterious family in the mainland!
The greatest founder of the empire! Even the founding emperor was shrouded in his light! Name the capital of the empire after a courtier! !
Caviehir looked at the shock on Xia Ya's face, but the old man had a calm expression and just replied in a low voice, "Yes... He is a descendant of that family."
※※※
For a while, the three people in the dark room fell silent. Xia Ya was naturally shocked. Thinking back to the little things that the old guy got along with before his death, the old guy was sometimes rude and sometimes rogue, but where did he have the slightest demeanor of a descendant of a legendary family
As for the poor worm, Adeline was born in a royal family, and naturally knew much more about the secrets of the Tulip family than Xiaya. At this moment, Adeline also opened her mouth wide and couldn't help exclaiming. She also understood the conversation between Caviehir and Char.
Could it be that... the descendant of the Tulip family in Osgilia... the adoptive father of Char, the native turtle? !
"You, don't fool me. I'm not easy to deceive." Xia Ya shook his head and widened his eyes: "This... The descendants of the Tulip family have been cut off for hundreds of years."
"Hmph... Is it cut off?" A smile flashed in Caviehir's eyes, but this smile was faintly cold!
The most famous wise man in the imperial capital actually walked slowly to the steps, and simply sat on the ground and looked at Xia Ya: "Well, since I met you here today, even if I am a teacher, the first teacher to teach you. Take a class."
teacher? !
The poor bastard's eyes widened and he covered his mouth with his hands. I couldn't help but looked at the turtle, Xiaya was a little annoyed next to him: "Hey, Caviehir, don't talk to yourself, I didn't promise to ask you to be my teacher."
"You will worship." Caviehir seemed to feel that this question was dismissive, and he passed it with a light sentence, and continued: "Then for the first time teaching, I need to give some pointers on your historical knowledge. Hmph... Tulip Family Is the bloodline cut off? If you are just an ordinary person, then what you read from the general history of the mainland is indeed written like this... However, the truth of history is not all that can be found in these official historical materials."
Xia Ya was a little dissatisfied, but the Tulip family mentioned at the moment was connected with the old guy, so he couldn't help but be curious. As for the matter of apprenticeship... Let's not argue with this Caviehir first, anyway, I will not worship in the future, he Can you still kowtow to Lao Tzu's head? !
"Tell me, what's going on?"
If the old guy is descended from the Tulip family... Damn! Then he should be the first wealthy family in the empire to inherit the title of duke! ! How can you hide in a ghostly place like Wildfire Plain, where birds don't lay eggs, and you are destitute
"Then, let me ask you first, do you know how the last Duke of Tulip of the Osgilia family died?" Caviehir looked at Xi Ya, although his face was smiling, his eyes were like blades. sharp! Seeing Xia Ya's dazed expression, he turned his head to look at the poor bastard, and said lightly, "This kid hasn't read many books, but you should have read those general histories of the continent, right?"
The poor bastard was swept away by Caviehir's eyes, and he was immediately frightened, and quickly said: "Yes, I have seen it."
"Well, then you can tell this kid to listen."
The poor man was extremely afraid of Caviehir, and quickly said honestly: "In the general history of the mainland, the Tulip family was compiled into a separate volume, and it was written at the end of the volume... The Tulip family lasted for four hundred years. After the establishment of the empire, The family has been passed down for thirteen generations. The last generation of the patriarch, Archduke Luke Osgilia, was the marshal of the empire at that time. He experienced seventeen wars in his life, and made countless contributions for the empire to reach Odin in the north. He was powerful and was a rare powerhouse on the mainland at that time. It is a pity that he left many wounded soldiers and old illnesses in the military for many years. At the age of thirty-nine, he finally passed away..."
"Very good." Caviehir said lightly: "You memorize the book well, and it seems that you have also put in a lot of effort on weekdays."
The poor bastard was trembling, but he didn't dare to respond to Caviehir's praise, and just hid his head behind Char.
Caviehir appeared for a while, and then smiled coldly: "Huh... an injury or an old illness? It's ridiculous! In the past, every generation of the Tulip family was the top powerhouse on the continent. As far as I know, thirteen Among the grand dukes, the sixth generation grand duke is the weakest. That grand duke was weak and sickly since childhood, which was a natural hidden danger brought from his mother's womb, but even so, the grand duke's strength has reached the power of saint level! Fifty-four years old! Just imagine, the last Archduke Luke was a recognized genius in the empire when he was young, with a strong body. It is said that he was promoted to a saint-level powerhouse when he was thirty years old, and he was promoted to the saint-level powerhouse at such a young age. Column, throughout the past and present, such talent, before the age of 30, there are only no more than 20 people in history! And... once the strength reaches the holy level, how can ordinary injuries and illnesses be possible? Killed him? Hmph... After many years in the military, it is true that he has old injuries, and old illnesses are not false, but... these are not the cause of his death."
Char's heart was beating wildly, knowing that what Caviehir said must be true! And... this is only a hidden truth!
Caviehir's expression was a little emotional, he breathed a long sigh, and said quietly: "Back then, in the palace, the then emperor of the empire set up a killing game, first deceived Duke Luke to drink a bottle of poisonous wine, and the poison The wine legend was prepared by the first alchemist in the mainland…”
Xia Ya's face changed. He already knew that all alchemists who are wise are proficient in magic pharmacy.
"A bottle of poisonous wine, it is said that even a golden dragon can't resist the poisonous wine's toxicity. Humph!" Caviehir whispered: "Then there were the two great magisters of the empire at that time, as well as three holy-level warriors. Siege! In the palace, there were still 3,000 iron armored guards besieging the forest, and 1,000 strong bows and crossbows were shot!! In that battle, even though the last Archduke Luke was powerful, he finally did not escape. It was just the tragic degree of that battle, But it makes people palpitate. The three thousand iron armored imperial forests lost most of them, and the six hundred 'Dark Night Imperial Forests' of the royal family were completely lost in that battle, and no one survived! Two magisters, one was killed on the spot One person died, and one person was seriously injured. And the three holy-level warriors who participated in the siege, two died and one was injured! In the end, even the castle in front of the palace collapsed in that battle. It took three years to fix it.”
Xia Ya's mouth was dry, and she couldn't help but ask, "How do you know what happened hundreds of years ago?"
Caviehir glanced at him and said lightly, "I just know."
This answer is a bit unreasonable, but in his capacity, Xiaya didn't dare to question the authenticity of the other party's words. Caviehir said such an important thing, and his tone was so determined, then he naturally had a source of information.
"In that battle, the Byzantine emperor destroyed the pillars of the empire and the Tulip family, the pillars of the empire that had guarded the empire for 400 years, was slaughtered by the emperor in the palace. Hmph... Afterwards, although the news of this matter was blocked, I participated in that battle. Almost all of his soldiers were silenced afterwards, and the royal family claimed to the public that Duke Luke died of illness... However, no matter how much you hide this kind of thing, it will always be known to those who care. The Tulip family served the empire for four hundred Years, finally ended like this... Humph, isn't it chilling? And since then, there are few people who are strong in the mainland who are willing to serve the empire again!
Later, the emperor also pretended to play. Thinking about it, the emperor himself understood that treating the heroes of the empire like this would definitely lose people's hearts, so he covered up the truth of the matter, and at the same time showed his favor to the daughter of the last Archduke Luke, but the daughter of the last Archduke, she He died of illness soon after that incident... Humph, another death! A good-looking person, who was originally in good health, died when he said so. The Tulip family has been cut off since then... Ha! "
Xia Ya listened, and was silent for a long time before shaking his head and said: "What you said is too bizarre... It's so good, why did the emperor have such a vicious hand on the minister of the empire?"
Caviehir sneered: "If you are an emperor, but the capital of a country is named after a courtier, can you bear it?"
Xia Ya listened, thoughtfully, nodded first, then shook his head: "This reason makes sense, but it doesn't make sense. The name of Osgilia was when the empire was founded, and it has been four years since the death of the last archduke. Hundred years. If the royal family is worried about the power to build the master, then it will not wait for four hundred years to start. Besides, I heard that the princes of Tulip in all dynasties are loyal to the empire, but they never use power to deceive others, let alone show it. What ambitions have you had…”
"You're not in your position, you don't want to be in government." Caviehir sneered and retorted: "You are not an emperor, so naturally you don't understand the emperor's mind. No matter whether your courtiers show ambition or not, but the power is too heavy and threatens the imperial power, then even if No matter how loyal the courtiers are, the emperor will never be at ease."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "But your first question is justified. Even if you want to kill the hero, you won't wait for four hundred years to do it. Here, there is naturally a reason."
Caviehir looked at Xia Ya and said slowly: "After the founding of the country, the emperors of all dynasties have complicated thoughts about the Tulip family. One is that the empire needs a strong guard from the Tulip family, and the other is that the emperor is worried that the status of the Tulip family is too high. It will endanger its own rule. For hundreds of years, although the Tulip family has made countless achievements, the royal family has to give this family infinite respect, but at the same time, the secret checks and balances have never stopped! This family is too powerful, Hmm... In other families, even if there are a few outstanding characters occasionally, it is impossible for each generation to be a hero, flourishing and declining, and there will always be one or two mediocre stupid characters during the inheritance period. This is not the case with the royal family. It is not necessarily the case that the emperors of all dynasties were all wise, and there are many emperors who are dull... But this Tulip family, I even doubt whether this family has really been blessed by God, and every generation of the family, They are all outstanding geniuses and heroes. After the founding of the country, it has been passed down for thirteen generations, and none of them are trash! Each generation of grand dukes is a unique figure in the mainland at that time!
Such a result... If the emperor at the time was a Ming Jun, he might be able to take the overall situation into account and put the country first, or the emperor himself had outstanding means and could control such a powerful subject. But if once you encounter a dazed ruler... Then once there is any conflict, it will be difficult to say.
Things in this world are often so strange, and seemingly unrelated things, when coherent, become the key to the overall situation! Even small details like gravel, placed at the key point, are enough to change the overall situation!
The last Archduke Luke was not wrong, and the then emperor at that time, although he was not a wise monarch with a great reputation, but objectively speaking, he was not a faint-hearted monarch. It's just... At that time, he had to attack the Tulip Family! Even if he doesn't want to, he has to start! Must kill! "
Although Xia Ya didn't speak, the expression on his face seemed to write "why".
Caviehir smiled: "The emperor of the empire at that time, unfortunately, he also experienced a military career for a while when he was young - this is not surprising, the Byzantine Empire was founded for hundreds of years, and the frontier was not peaceful. Emperors have the experience of leading troops to go out in person. However, that emperor is special. Although his military career was not as good as that of his predecessors, he was still a defending emperor. Well, during a young expedition, he was seriously injured, and although he was cured, he left a life-long hidden danger."
"What's the danger?"
Caviehir sighed and said the answer slowly: "It can't be humane."
Xia Ya was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Damn it! Isn't that unlucky? The dignified emperor of the empire, actually... It's fucking impossible?"
"It's nothing." Caviehir sneered: "It's just that in the royal family, this matter is not a trivial matter. Fortunately, the emperor had already given birth to a son when he was young, and he was considered a queen. So , even if he has physical problems later, he can no longer... It's not too much of a hindrance. After he was injured, knowing that he was no longer humane, he established his only son as the prince early, and at the same time to ensure his son's status, cut off the ambitions of the emperor's collateral, and he even tried to find a way to execute his two brothers! In this way, his son became the only heir to the imperial throne!
Such an approach was originally understandable. The power among the royal family was strife, and the past dynasties had no family affection at all! Although this emperor's methods are a bit cruel, but looking at the royal family of all dynasties, who is the kind-hearted and soft-hearted person? But the problem lies with his only son.
Because he fought with the army in his early years, it was inevitable that he could not take care of the education of the prince. The prince was said to be domineering, frivolous and stubborn, young, and he was less disciplined on weekdays.
What's even more unfortunate is that the prince was only fourteen years old, but he offended a person who should not have offended! "
"Who?" Xia was really fascinated, and subconsciously asked.
"I heard that the prince, when he was fourteen years old, admired the daughter of the last Archduke Luke, and could not get it, so he would inevitably do some bad means - he was originally a foolish person, and the Tulip family is very important to the empire. It's important, how can he take care of such a sloppy bag? Lust is full of lust, and he only thinks that he is the future emperor, so he can do whatever he wants. Although the Tulip family is the family of the duke, in the eyes of that stupid guy, it's just a part of his royal family. It's just a loyal dog. After repeated entanglements, it finally angered Duke Luke. It is said that Duke Luke originally chose a fiancé for his daughter, who is also a young hero in the army, but the prince actually took advantage of Luke. The Grand Duke led the army on an expedition. In the imperial capital, during a banquet, he married and was drunk and molested the Grand Duke's daughter. Later, the Grand Duke's daughter's fiancé came forward to stop him, but he was beaten alive and seriously injured by the prince and several nobles and playboys with guards. He died within a few days.
This incident has laid a curse on the relationship between the royal family and the Tulip family. And after Duke Luke came back from a triumphant expedition, he knew about it and broke one of the prince's legs in public! If it was at that time, with the ability of Duke Luke, even killing the prince in public would only be a matter of one thought. Punished heavily and then stopped. I hope that the emperor can train the prince well in the future.
It's a pity that the prince is really a scumbag. After that incident, he harbored hatred in his heart. In private occasions, he publicly shouted several times: Once he succeeds to the throne in the future, he must uproot the Tulip family to eliminate the hatred in his heart.
Just imagine, such an absurd piece of shit, although these words were said in private, there was always news that reached the ears of the last Archduke Luke. The last Archduke Luke didn't react when he found out, but after the emperor knew his son's words and deeds, he couldn't help but be moved!
That prince was the heir to the throne at that time—and because of the emperor's health, he could no longer bear any other sons. No matter how unbearable this prince was, he was the only candidate. The throne can only be inherited by him, and there is no one else except him.
However, the future emperor and the Tulip family are in a state of flux! I'm afraid that after he takes the throne, he can really do the kind of act of eradicating the Tulip family - you know, there are always some people in this world whose stupidity is unimaginable.
And that emperor, who knows his son better than his father, naturally knows what his son is. If he dies in the future, this son becomes the emperor, and if he attacks the Tulip family... With the Tulip family's prestige and power in the empire, his own Where can the son of a straw bag be an opponent? At that time, even if the Tulip Family does not have the ambition to usurp, if they are forced to a desperate situation... that is difficult to say.
However, several times he had the heart to resolve the hatred. Although Archduke Luke had shown enough generosity, the bastard prince was unrelenting and never gave up the idea of revenge in his heart. The last emperor, in desperation, could only... be cruel!
Since his son must seek trouble in the future, instead of waiting for this son to seek his own death after he ascends the throne, then... it is better to be ruthless while you are still in power!
If there are other candidates for the heir to the throne, then the emperor is not stupid, and most of them will consider the overall situation and change the candidate for the crown prince. After all, the Tulip family is too important to the empire. But when there is no one to replace the crown prince, then the only option is to sacrifice the Tulip family!
So, finally on that day, a sure-kill game was set in the palace! Under the guise of tricking the last Archduke Luke into the palace for a banquet, then tricked into drinking poisonous wine, and then besieged with masters and elite soldiers, after a bloody battle, the pillar of the empire was finally slaughtered!
It is said that when the Duke of Luke died, he did not believe that the emperor ordered him to be killed.
In the end, he was seriously injured and lost his strength. His whole body was covered in blood. When facing the emperor, he left a few words. "
When Caviehir said this, he was silent for a while.
The poor worm beside her had already heard her face pale. Although she was the daughter of the royal family, how could she know about such a secret thing
But Xia Ya heard grief and anger on her face, full of indignation: "Shameless! Shameless! What else have the last grand duke and that dog emperor to say!"
Caviehir smiled miserably and took a deep breath:
"The Grand Duke asked: After I die, if an enemy invades the territory, who will solve it
The emperor replied: I lead the army myself. Although I am not as talented as you, I will lead the troops with the respect of the emperor and stimulate morale, so there should be no serious problem.
The Grand Duke asked again: After I die, if someone asks His Majesty about this, what will people gain and lose
The emperor replied: The Grand Duke died of illness and passed away peacefully. This matter is not reported.
The Grand Duke asked again: The Crown Prince is immoral, even after killing me, who will control him in the future
The emperor was silent for a long time, and replied: The crown prince is young, and the future matters, whether it is a wise ruler or a foolish one, are both acceptable... And the future matters are unnecessary.
The Grand Duke listened and let out a long laugh: Since there is no need for the future, why did you kill me today
Answer: I dare not take risks.
The Grand Duke listened, his eyes were bleeding, and he said loudly: "Have mercy on my Tulip family, which has been loyal for four hundred years, and the loyal souls of the thirteen generations will not leave! But cut off in a 'unnecessary'!
Legend has it that the Grand Duke swore to the sky before he died: The empire was created by my Tulip family, and now your Karenma family has become a pillar, and you will be punished! This empire was created by my tulip family, and will be destroyed by my tulip family in the future!
After speaking, the Grand Duke died of hatred. "
When Caviehir said this, he stopped talking, sighed, and closed his eyes.
When Xia Ya heard this, her face flushed, her eyes spitting fire, she suddenly slammed her fist on the wall, and shouted angrily: "I'm so mad at me!!!! Such a dog emperor! Then why should Duke Tulip be right? He is stupid and loyal!! If I were to be an old man, I would have been anti-fuck!!"
