Nine hundred and sixty-six years of the empire.
Although the new year has passed, winter has not passed and spring has not arrived.
However, in the Imperial Palace, one by one order was issued to the military headquarters, and then through the military headquarters, these orders were distributed to various places. The meaning of it is quite thought-provoking.
Because the empire is in a state of war, the military department ordered that in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the local garrison and reserve forces and prepare for the frontline operations at all times, this year's national "spring exercise" will be held earlier than in previous years.
Especially in the north-central region of the mainland, to be precise, the imperial capital is the center and the surrounding provinces radiate. The local garrison and reserve forces have been mobilized early.
The ice on the canal has not completely melted, and the cold wind is still biting. After receiving the red military order from the imperial capital's military headquarters, which symbolizes the highest authority, the local defense forces in various places immediately mobilized nervously.
Because the empire is in a state of war, after the previous three years of deliberate operation, the military affairs of various places have already been rectified, and food, grass, materials, etc. are also considered complete. Although this year's spring drills are much earlier than previous years, at most The soldiers and officers were just complaining, and all the supplies, food, and grass were in place quickly under the overtime work of the military department. The area of the family territory has been managed by the former Governor Bohan for many years. It can be regarded as the richest place in the northwest region—of course, this situation was broken after Duke Tulip came to the northwest.
However, Governor Bohan is a rare talent in the empire. Although he later resigned, he also left a very rich family fortune to his successor.
Governor Bohan is not a direct descendant of Prince Chen, and it is normal for him to be transferred away after the local separatist regime of the Northwest Army was wiped out. Later, after Du Wei assumed the special position of "Northwest Military and Political Minister", Nulin Province did not set up the post of governor within two years, which also made this province almost become Du Wei's sphere of influence.
However, the Northwest Independent Division went north. After being formally reorganized into the Imperial Air Force, Du Wei's special position of "Northwest Military and Political Director" was also cut off by the Regent, and Nulin Province was finally placed under the central jurisdiction again.
The successor Governor, in a way, can be regarded as an old acquaintance of Du Weidi, the Marquis of Senna.
This Lord Marquis is an aristocratic family from the south, and he is considered a member of the royal camp. However, something happened in the past two years: at that auction, an idiot young master of the Senna family was bewitched by His Highness the Holy Maiden. Dare to bid for...
That incident made the Marquis of Senna almost lose the favor of the royal family, and later this old fox in the political arena. It is said that he personally ran into the palace to plead guilty. At that time, he broke the leg of his idiot son, deprived him of all inheritance rights, and drove him back to his hometown in the south.
Later, during the military reorganization of the empire in the first two years, the Marquis of Senna shed a lot of blood and donated money, which was regarded as regaining the trust of the regent.
Therefore, when choosing the candidate for the governor of Nulin Province, the regent was chosen on his head. On the one hand, Nulin Province is far away in the northwest. The Marquis of Seine's family is in the south, which is also the consistent policy of the empire to appoint local governors: as long as the governor is appointed, the jurisdiction must be far away from the sphere of influence of his family, so as not to cause the local governor to become too powerful.
Secondly... Although the Marquis Senna has regained the trust of the royal family, after all. Because of that auction, Du Wei personally abolished his son. As a father, even if the Marquis of Senna didn't say anything, he naturally didn't dare to hate the royal family. But I don't like Du Wei in my heart anymore!
There is such a candidate from the "non-Duwei" camp guarding Nulin Province. It is also possible to slightly suppress the influence of the Tulip family in the northwest. This is also a very normal imperial balance technique.
In late January, the Marquis of Senna, then Governor of Nulin Province. After receiving the red military order from the military, he followed it immediately, mobilized two local garrison divisions stationed in Nulin Province, and started a routine spring exercise.
As for the drills in previous years, due to the special structure of the Northwest, after the Northwest Army was wiped out, when Du Wei was still the Minister of Military and Political Affairs in the Northwest, the spring drills in Nulin Province and Desa Province were held jointly.
Well, it's officially separated. Governor Senna received a special "order" in addition to the official military order.
This order was sent directly from the commander-in-chief of the Royal Forest Army in the palace—the regent's personal order.
This order is not considered a "secret order", because the regent did not say that it should be kept secret, but at the same time, it violated the usual practice. It is an additional order in addition to the order of the military department. The meaning of it is worth pondering .
Moreover, the content of this order is aimed at...
In late January, the two local garrison divisions that had just assembled in the southeastern part of Nulin Province for their drills suddenly received an order from the governor of Nulin Province, and then immediately changed their marching route, turned around and headed west.
After six days of long-distance training and marching, the troops were divided into two groups and arrived at the border area where Nulin Province and Desa Province meet.
Then, under some delicate operations, the two infantry regiments quickly crossed the border and entered the territory of the Tulip family. After the infantry had crossed the border for 60 miles, a "notice" was officially sent The Tulip family is in the hands of the garrison commander of a military fort on the eastern border.
The content of this announcement is very simple: the garrison of Nulin Province is conducting a long-distance training in the spring drill, and they are requesting to cross the border for a long-distance marching exercise. We hope that the Tulip family will cooperate with this.
This kind of "cross-border exercise" behavior, if it is in the past, is actually not uncommon in the empire. Because often the annual spring drills are mobilized from various local garrisons for performances, and local troops are mobilized. It is inevitable that they will leave their own residence and run into other people's jurisdiction.
However, the empire has been established for nearly a thousand years, and the aristocratic classes, large and small, are as numerous as a cow's hair. There are scattered private territories of nobles, large and small, scattered all over the continent, like psoriasis. Long march. It is inevitable that they will run into the territory of some noble or small noble.
In the past, this kind of thing was originally common, but in order to show respect for the lord, an official document was usually sent in advance to say hello to the other party—after all, since it is a military drama, it is natural to do it very early Once the march plan has been made, he knows where to march early. Where did you pass by.
Before running to someone else's house, saying hello in advance is also regarded as respect for the host. This is also due etiquette.
But this time, the army had already marched directly into other people's territory, and the notice was sent—this kind of behavior cannot be explained by "unintentional".
After the two infantry battalions entered the territory of the Tulip family and crossed the border for sixty miles, they were immediately stopped.
The young general of the Tulip family, Al Qaeda known as the "little two hundred and five", personally led a thousand cavalry to block the way of the garrison of Nulin province.
At the beginning, the Nulin garrison tried to send someone to talk to them, and they took out the notice to explain the matter. As a result, the young al-Qaeda really deserved to be a stunned young man trained by Longbottom. The Nulin garrison sent three officers over there. notice. They were all driven back by him mercilessly, and the answer was only one sentence: leave immediately!
The Nulin garrison was dumbfounded.
What kind of business is this? Originally, the order for this exercise was a bit weird, and it is not surprising that they rushed to the territory of the Tulip family rashly, and they were not happy. Although my own side has orders from the Imperial Army...but they are the family's private army. The Imperial Army can manage the official army. But it can't control the private army of the nobles.
Try to be accommodating, the little Erbaiwu on the opposite side has made it clear that the battle is not to give way.
Besides, look at the thousand cavalry led by Al Qaeda, all of them are riding first-class war horses from the grassland, and each cavalry is wearing the most expensive full-body armor. The cost of this armor set. I am afraid that they are much higher than the cavalry of the most elite Stormtroopers in the empire!
The prepared weapons are not to mention the local garrison, I am afraid that they are not even comparable to the imperial guards.
The whole continent knows it. Duke Tulip is very rich, but money is not such a waste! These cavalrymen are all high-quality hardcover full-body knight armor-note that this is not the standard army cavalry armor, but the kind of full-body armor that only "knights" will wear!
Not to mention the people, even the horses are covered with a layer of light armor - so armed to the teeth, it's like throwing gold coins into the water.
However, such a thick armor can only be prepared by the best war horses from the grasslands, otherwise, ordinary war horses will not be able to carry people with armor.
In terms of weapons, the weapons prepared by the imperial cavalry are nothing more than assault spears, but the cavalry of the Tulip family are equipped with maces, and each is equipped with a mechanical short crossbow—this short crossbow The cost of the weapon is even more expensive. In the past, only the ace army in the Royal City Guards, which was dedicated to guarding the imperial capital, could prepare this weapon.
In the Tulip family, it seems that these are just ordinary outfits, and even the weapons worn by officers above the cavalry commander are all equipped with magic blessing attributes-this is simply extravagant.
What's even more depressing is...the opponent actually has other arms to fight with him!
A thousand cavalry in Al Qaeda blocked the way, and in less than a moment, the "air force" of the Tulip family appeared in the sky.
The hot air balloons were clearly painted with tulip totems on the airships. Dozens of airships floated over the heads of the Nulin garrison. It looked like that. If they didn't retreat, they might have made the cavalry of the Northwest Army full. The bitter "bomb" is about to fall on his head.
After hesitating for less than a meal, a report came from the front, and the two infantry regiments who ran into the territory of the Tulip family were disarmed by the army of the Tulip family!
Al-Qaeda was really brave. He led a thousand cavalrymen, and he dared to attack the local garrison with two infantry regiments of six thousand.
A thousand cavalry rushed directly in front of the Nulin garrison, and rushed into the opponent's formation without saying a word. This kind of style of not even saying hello, but directly attacking when they come up, immediately made the two forward infantry regiments have a difficult time... fight? But he is the private army of the Tulip family, who would dare to put the power of the Duke of Tulip there
Although there is a military order in his hand, after all, his head is on his neck. Seeing Al Qaeda rushing towards him with a murderous look, it is definitely not a joke.
so. The officers of the two infantry regiments, in a tacit understanding, immediately ordered their formations to separate quickly, out of the way of the opponent's charge, and then held high the banner of retreat...
After all, Gaida is not really two hundred and five. Although he is a fierce general, he also knows that in such a situation, it is okay to scare the opponent, but not to fight. He rushed in front of the opponent with a thousand cavalry like a whirlwind, almost brushing the noses of the two infantry regiments of the Nulin Garrison. Then a sudden order was given, and the thousand cavalry were running at high speed, but they could still turn a big corner suddenly and calmly. With an almost ninety-degree turn, a thousand cavalrymen passed calmly in front of the two infantry regiments, and even the dust kicked up by the horseshoes made the soldiers of the Nulin garrison choke and cough.
Later, Al Qaeda divided his troops into two groups, and one group calmly went around behind the opponent's buttocks. A thousand cavalry soldiers were so grandiose. The forces of these two infantry regiments were "surrounded"!
"Surrender and disarm, we will send you out of the country!"
Al Qaeda did not give the opponent a second choice.
The cavalry of the Tulip family are strong and well-armed, and their blades are facing the Nulin garrison in the middle. There are also airships of the Tulip family circling in the sky...
The two officers of the vanguard regiment thought about their heads and their fate... After all, they are all from the Northwest. Although the military order has not been completed, at worst they will go back and be reprimanded. At most, you will receive a military stick. But if you turn your face here. It's a real fight - it's a good fight, but that's another story.
Afterwards, Duke Tulip became angry. When it comes to investigation, it is not a place that these two little people like myself can stand up to.
The two even had their own little calculations: Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this incident was unusual, and it was probably due to the intrigue of the upper class. At this time... protect yourself!
As a result, six thousand infantrymen surrendered to one thousand cavalrymen, obediently handed over their flags and weapons, and then returned in line under the "escort" led by Al Qaeda, leaving the border of Desa province.
As for how to punish the two officers, the governor of Nuxing Province after returning, I won't say.
And Al Qaeda did not leave after driving away the Nurin garrison.
because…
Sure enough, as Mr. Philip predicted. On the second day after the garrison of Nulin province left. A heavily armed division, flying the banner of the King City Guards, came from the east, crossed the entire territory of Nulin Province, and came to the border of Desa Province.
Then, a "notice" was sent by Feiqi.
The content is still nothing special: the military department dispatched the Royal City Guards to go to a certain division to conduct long-distance training exercises and cross the border into the Desa Province. Please cooperate with Yun. This Royal Guards is not Nulin The garrison is such a soft persimmon that it can be driven away with a single scare.
Al Qaeda didn't say anything else, and replied directly, rejecting the other party's request.
Then, the atmosphere suddenly became tense...
Within two days, on the eastern border of the Tulip family's territory of Desa Province, two cavalry regiments of the Tulip family's private army had assembled here, and the leader was still al-Qaeda. At the same time, the Tulip family mobilized an airship brigade to hover in the air, and the infantry regiments originally stationed at the two fortresses on the eastern border had begun to close the fortresses and prohibit entry and exit. Everything seemed to be in a wartime state.
Al Qaeda's two cavalry regiments stood firmly on the border, while the division chief of the Wangcheng Guards sent three official documents in a row, all of which were rejected by Al Qaeda.
The reason is simple: the orders of your military department cannot control the private army of our Tulip family! According to the usual practice, it is our accommodation to let you in, and not to let you in is not a violation of the laws of the empire, it is also our duty!
The division commander was furious. First, a team of cavalry was sent to try to detour for dozens of miles, bypass this area, and enter the opponent's jurisdiction, trying to create a "fait accompli". As a result, within two days, this team of cavalry was completely wrapped into rice dumplings by the opponent. Lost it back. This time Al Qaeda showed no mercy and even confiscated all the horses and weapons.
Send back the cavalry. Most of them were bruised and swollen, and some people were wounded. Fortunately, no one died.
Under the deliberate tolerance of both sides, the friction was still suppressed within a rational limit.
The armies ahead are confronting each other.
Afterwards, a war of words began.
An order from the Imperial Army quickly bypassed Du Wei who was in the imperial capital, but was sent directly to the northwest—this approach was very strange. Du Wei, the lord of the Northwest, was clearly in the imperial capital, but he did not dare to go to Du Wei when questioned by the military department, but sent him to the Northwest! Such a superfluous approach. But there is an unusual taste in it.
Ordered to accuse the Tulip family of disregarding the overall situation and disrupting the normal spring drills of the imperial military.
For the Tulip family, Philip wrote the reply himself. Said that the other party has no legal basis.
The military department accused the Tulip family of illegally detaining soldiers of the Royal Guards.
The Tulip family replied that as a local lord, they had the right to arrest any outsiders who violated the order and broke into their territory.
The military ordered to declare that disobedience to military orders was a serious crime.
The Tulip family replied that according to the national law, the local lord's private army is owned by the lord's private and not under the control of the state.
The military ordered…
Tulip Family Reply…
One after another, there were back and forth, but the knights on fast horses who delivered letters were too busy. On the road and river leading to the northwest of the imperial capital, one by one was sent quickly, and one fast horse galloped back and forth quickly.
In these days, the eyes of almost the entire continent are focused on this place in the northwest!
Everywhere. They were all guessing the ins and outs of this incident with a shocked attitude.
Could it be... The popular Tulip Duke, his way of power has come to an end?
Following the documents of both parties with fierce words one after another, the two factions criticized each other verbally and in writing. However, no matter how fiercely the military headquarters of the imperial capital quarreled, they never uttered the most lethal word "rebellion".
And at this time, Du Wei in the imperial capital...
He still recuperates behind closed doors every day, and talks with his two beautiful fiancées, Huamei, at home.
He was obviously born in the imperial capital, but the military department quarreled fiercely with Philip from the northwest. On the one hand, he seemed to completely ignore the Northwest boss who was in the imperial capital.
even. The quarrel between the two sides was almost overwhelming, and the military headquarters was less than seven streets away from the Tulip Duke's Mansion in the imperial capital. But he never sent even one person to ask what Du Wei meant, but every day, the Red Army newspaper went back and forth to the imperial capital...
This weird scene almost made the eyes of the rich and small nobles in the imperial capital drop to the ground! Fortunately, at this time, no stunned youth really went to the military headquarters to "kindly" remind the other party: Hey! The Duke of Tulip himself is in the imperial capital! You have been arguing with the duke's subordinates all day long, isn't this just seeking far away
Fortunately, there are no such idiots in the imperial capital.
This "farce" lasted for a full twenty days.
Finally, finally, an order from the palace was sent down to the military headquarters. The Royal City Guard Division was changed to conduct a joint military performance with the garrison of Nulin Province on the spot, and the previous exercise plan was cancelled.
For this matter, it can be regarded as barely a full stop.
But Al Qaeda's army still stayed at the border and did not disperse. Instead, it was just a dozen miles away, watching with cold eyes the division of the royal guards, and the garrison of Nulin Province. Exercise", after that, the division of the Royal City Guards did not return to the imperial capital, but drove to the capital of Nulin Province and stationed there... not leaving! If in previous years, someone said that Duke Tulip might rebel—then those who said such things would most likely be ridiculed by others.
But now... no one dares to guarantee that Duke Tulip is really so peaceful!
But Du Wei is still as stable as Mount Tai recuperating at home.
From the beginning to the end, not to mention that the military department did not come to Du Wei for a theory, even in the palace, there was not even a word of order, let alone the order to blame Du Wei.
The previous frictions have not subsided. Another thing, immediately poured a bucket of oil on this fire that had not been extinguished!
The battle report came from the northern front. General Rostock personally wrote the spell. Winter is coming to an end. After the spring, it is expected that the enemy will have a large-scale offensive, and the Storm Legion in the northern theater. After several months of continuous combat last year, soldiers were injured and needed to be replenished. Please add troops from the empire to go north.
Afterwards, the regent personally promulgated a decree to carry out the second military mobilization in the empire in order to reinforce the northern theater.
This time, on the one hand, five local garrison divisions were transferred from the south to go north. At the same time, the regent said. During this war period, I hope that the noble lords in the empire can also contribute to the country, and hope that the lords can contribute their private troops to go north. Replenish the combat power of the Imperial Army!
The first to bear the brunt is the Tulip family. Everyone knows that on the mainland, when it comes to the size of the territory, the Tulip family may not be the number one. But when it comes to the elite level of the private army, if the Tulip family claims to be second, no one will dare to claim the first.
Conscripting the lord's private army to join the war-this kind of precedent is not without exception. The Augustinian dynasty was surprisingly established, and there was such a precedent.
However, this kind of recruitment of noble private troops has never happened in hundreds of years—because. The empire is powerful, with several main battle legions strong and strong, and there are countless local garrison troops in the area—if it is reduced to the point of mobilizing the lord's private army to join the war, then unless it is a last resort and the empire is already on the verge of collapse. This is the final mobilization.
But now, obviously, it is far from the worst situation.
But this recruitment order was still issued!
Of course, this kind of recruitment order... Although it is a "order" in name. But in fact, it is more like an "initiative" or a "call".
Because the empire has been established for thousands of years. The private property of the noble class is still extremely protected. After all, it is a feudal dynasty empire. The private property of the nobility is sacrosanct.
After all, the powerful class is the basis of royal rule. The royal family is the largest aristocratic class in the world. In any dynasty, the emperor would not confiscate the property of other nobles at will—otherwise, it would cause chaos and a full-scale backlash from the noble class, and the royal family would be finished.
Once the territory is sealed off, the empire will not take it back under normal circumstances. After all, this is a minefield! Once crossed, you have taken over one family's territory today, and thousands of other families will be watching eagerly! It is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, causing widespread rebellious psychology.
Therefore, unless it was a last resort, the emperor would not dare to deal with the private property of the nobles—unless it was some unforgivable and heinous crimes, for example, after the regent took office, he cleaned up several families including the Luo Lin family. family, but that incident, after all, there was a big hat of "rebellion" on it, and the other aristocratic classes had nothing to say. It's justifiable to accept it.
But under other circumstances... even a fatuous emperor would never do such a self-defeating thing.
Therefore, this "order" is just a suggestion, not a rigid order, stipulating how many troops everyone must send out. Although the imperial order was very noisy, it was still gentle.
But anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is the royal family's attack on the Tulip family.
Who is the strongest private army in the world
The answer is obvious.
Since it is going to the front line to fight, it is natural to transfer the strongest soldiers, if not the soldiers of the Tulip family, who will be transferred
In early February, less than ten days after the imperial decree was issued, countless lords of all sizes on the mainland were shocked, and everyone aimed their eyes at the imperial capital. Faintly, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were watching the king who was hiding in the Duke’s mansion. Du Wei, who "recovers from illness" in the movie.
Du Wei, still no visitors.
Even, on a certain day, around February 14th, the Duke of Tulip was even in a leisurely mood, and sent a group of people out to sweep down the streets of the imperial capital. Almost within a day, all the flowers in all the flower shops in the imperial capital were swept up and sold out!
This weird behavior has aroused many people's speculation, but it is said that - according to an attendant sent by the Tulip family to buy flowers: This Duke Tulip seems to be celebrating some kind of "Valentine's Day" and bought all the flowers in the entire imperial capital. The flowers in the florist are for the critical moment of pleasing the two beautiful duke's fiancées. This young Duke, is he still in the mood to play such a romantic business? ! !
Many people sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know whether they admired Du Wei for holding his breath or disdained Du Wei's nonsense.
However, there was another episode in this matter. Because of Duke Tulip's purchase of flowers, all flower shops in the imperial capital were out of stock for a long period of time to come. Even some nobles wanted to buy some flowers to please their wives or lovers. They are all faced with an embarrassing scene where flowers are priceless but not marketable.
Many, many years later, there was an anecdote that a certain nobleman said to his children, "That winter. In order to catch up with your mother, what I gave was not flowers, but dogtail grass collected from the wild by someone... No I'm stingy! Hmph, at that time, even if someone offered one hundred gold coins for each piece, and searched all over the imperial capital, there was no place to buy it!"
On February 17th, it was the third day after Duke Tulip bought out the stocks of all flower shops in the imperial capital.
It was also the tenth day since the Prince Regent announced the recruitment of the private armies of lords from all over the mainland.
A group of envoys from the grassland came to the imperial capital with a high profile, this team of grassland envoys. Coming by boat, with great fanfare along the way, after arriving at the imperial capital, he directly handed over a "credentials" to the hands of the Minister of Etiquette of the empire!
This letter of credence was issued in the name of the current "Prairie King" Saladin. In this letter of credence, Saladin declared that he had inherited the throne of the Prairie King two months ago, and became the supreme king of the prairie, commanding all the ministries of the prairie.
This credential. It is to demand that the empire officially recognize the legitimacy of his throne. At the same time, he asked to change with the Roland Empire a few years ago. The peace agreement between the two countries that Du Wei participated in negotiating required the empire to open commercial routes for ore, iron, grain, and other materials to the grasslands, and at the same time required the empire to change the northwest corridor into a "buffer area for both parties", requiring that the northwestern corridor Here, the empire is not allowed to station troops to show the sincerity of peace.
In addition, at the end of this letter of credence, Saladin also stated straightforwardly: He heard that the northern line of the Roland Empire was at war with alien races, and His Majesty Saladin Prairie King, with his kind heart, expressed that since he was dealing with alien races, , then the ministries of the prairie are also in the human camp, and he is willing to lead the 500,000 cavalry from the prairie ministries to help the battle! !
threaten! !
A naked threat! !
After reading this letter of credence, the Minister of Etiquette was almost so angry that his nose was crooked.
If it is said that it is almost rude to ask for the opening of scarce materials such as ore, iron, food, etc., it is already an almost rude lion to open its mouth. To ask the empire to cede the northwest corridor as a buffer area where no troops are stationed is tantamount to asking the empire to keep its own land. Get out the door!
And in the end, as for personally leading 500,000 cavalry from various grassland ministries to help Yunyun... the intention is even more blatantly intimidating! !
Let half a million prairie cavalry enter the country? What a joke! !
However, he was angry, and the Minister of Etiquette did not dare to delay this kind of matter. After receiving the letter of credence, he immediately went to the palace and presented himself to the regent.
After reading the "Certificate of Credence" that was unreasonable, the regent didn't seem to be angry at all.
He just nodded, threw the letter of credence on the desk, and replied lightly: "Got it, you can go back."
This is... this is the end
Don't you call a meeting of the big bosses
Don't discuss countermeasures
Doesn't call up the military to mobilize the army
Even if they don't do anything, they should at least draft a reply letter to severely reprimand these prairie people! !
Not to mention that the Minister of Etiquette left the palace in a daze...
After the regent drove away the Minister of Etiquette, he picked up the credential again, read it again, then dropped it, and smiled slightly.
"Saladin's big talk has no limits. The former prairie king's old tribe is still fighting in the north of the prairie. He, Saladin, has not yet unified the prairie tribes. Now he, the prairie king, only controls less than half of the territory on the prairie. Five hundred thousand cavalry? Hmph... If Saladin really wants to fight us, it would be a miracle that he could squeeze out fifty thousand cavalry to deal with the other ministries that have not yet surrendered."
Sighing, the regent closed his eyes and thought for a while, then murmured: "Du Wei, Du Wei... you let Saladin make a fuss on purpose, so I can't transfer your private tulip army? Your next step Chess, what is it..."
Du Wei was sitting in the yard, enjoying the snow in winter. On the big tree in the yard, there were still white ice edges hanging from the treetops. Du Wei was sitting in a wheelchair, smiling, looking at the guests in front of him.
Mrs. Liszt sat opposite Du Wei. She didn't have Du Wei's weird body. It was still very cold to sit outside and enjoy the snow in this weather.
"Your Excellency, the matter has come to this... are you just sitting in the imperial capital and waiting?" Mrs. Liszt looked worried.
Her family has been tightly tied to Du Wei, and now she can't withdraw even if she wants to.
In Mrs. Lister's opinion, Du Wei's recent series of actions were too reckless!
Yes, you, Du Wei, are indeed the most popular official in the empire. You have money, soldiers, and prestige.
But, after all, the arms can't twist the thighs!
Mrs. Liszt absolutely doesn't want to see Du Wei blatantly rebel! The overall situation of the empire is still stable now, and the regent can be regarded as a wise king. At this time, Du Wei is very strong, but if he openly turns against the royal family and rebels...
"My next move is myself."
Du Wei looked calm, and he smiled lightly, with a trace of tiredness in his eyes, but although his words were light, they penetrated into people's heart and lungs word by word!
"I'm in the imperial capital, right here in the Tulip Duke's mansion! Chen knows that no matter how powerful the Tulip family is, I'm the leader. No matter how violent the trouble is, I'm in the imperial capital... If I really rebelled, I would have secretly He ran away. And now... there is no guard left outside my house, only an old servant guards the door. I just stay in the imperial capital... If he really wants to get rid of my family, then the first thing to do is It is to send troops to slaughter my duke's mansion!!"
After speaking, Du Wei sighed softly again: "But if I don't leave, I'm here. My wife and family are all here! What will he do?"
this is a problem.
This is a question that Du Wei clearly conveyed to the regent with his own, silent voice!
The fish is on the chopping board, Prince Regent, are you doing the knife? Or not to do it? General kings and ministers. If he doesn't move, I won't move. If he moves..." Du Wei lightly raised a finger, flicked a branch and leaf on the treetop in front of him, silently, and a leaf turned into several petals under Du Wei's finger. .
"If he moves...then I have no choice but to move."
A soft word, as if with infinite loneliness. Tolerate Du Wei and Chen's eccentricity, but the general plot has developed to this point, but it is a natural trend, and it cannot be reversed... Although I am the author, I am the creator of the characters and stories in my pen.
However, step by step, no matter the characters or the story, in the end, they will naturally have their own destiny and trend... I can't control it.
