In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the most powerful person is not His Majesty the Emperor, nor the Prime Minister, nor the leaders of the nobles of the foreign vassals, but the women, those upper-class ladies who can influence the affairs of the Kaoqi government.
Because they can command their husbands and their sons just like a majestic general commands his soldiers.
In addition, there is absolutely no factionalism among these ladies. Maybe their husbands are life-and-death political opponents in the court, but they are probably good sisters who often hold dances together.
For these ladies, power and status are nothing, so they never participate in the fights between men. In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, if a minister loses power in the court, he is likely to be tragically sent to an extremely distant place to hold a very small official position.
But unless their wives are willing to endure hardships along with them, they can stay comfortably in the capital and still visit the palace and upper-class social circles all day long.
The father of the concubine chosen by His Majesty, the fourth emperor of the Kingdom of Kaochi, was a postal officer (a postal officer with the title of Marquis) in a small mountain village on the border of Kaochi. This poor nobleman has always been After his grandson was born, he was allowed to return to the capital.
It is precisely because of this that the political situation of the Kaoqi Kingdom is relatively stable.
Although the struggle between the emperor and the foreign vassals was fierce, it was not cruel. The losing side only lost face and power.
The stability and prosperity of the Kaoqi Kingdom and the mutual checks and balances between the emperor and the foreign vassals were one reason. The huge and strong power network established by the women for generations also played a huge role.
For these women, politics is definitely not something they are interested in, and they will never get involved in matters that should be the responsibility of men. However, there are exceptions. If there is something that arouses their interest in the boring and boring thing of politics, these women will also get involved.
At that time, their power will truly be revealed in front of people. At least this kind of power can give the person involved a huge headache.
Because this power is not only extremely powerful but also ubiquitous and pervasive.
Obviously, Horkels III is now facing tremendous pressure.
This huge pressure comes from his mother, Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
Faced with this pressure, His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat powerless to resist. The brilliant political methods he used in the past have no effect at all in the face of this kind of power. These women who are not interested in political affairs are not interested in the commonly used methods in politics at all. They absolutely do not know how to compromise with each other, give in, or reach other agreements to bypass conflicts.
They just need you to face their problem and solve it.
However, that huge problem is definitely not something that His Majesty, the human emperor, can solve. Maybe God can change all this, but he definitely doesn't have this ability. "Mother, as far as I know, hasn't that lady already accepted Hagrid's engagement ring? There should be no problem between them!" The emperor was careless and could pretend to be stupid. He still knows how to use this method.
"Hmm, what does an engagement ring mean?"
The Queen Mother obviously sneered at this answer: "Let alone an engagement, even if it is a marriage, it cannot confirm anything at all. It is just a formality."
"How could such a thing happen? Impossible. Marriage is sacred. Who would joke about such a sacred thing?" His Majesty the Emperor decided to continue to play dumb.
"Only you men think about things like this, as if a promise or a ceremony can change everything, and you can have everything."
Having said this, Her Majesty the Queen Mother paused, thought for a while and lowered her voice and said: "I think back then, didn't Hegeello's father think so too? He thought he had held a wedding and had taken possession of his sweetheart's body. , which means everything is perfect.
"But, in the end?? In the end, he didn't die under Saili's knife. At that time, Saili already had Hagrid in her belly. If you think about it, even after she was pregnant, it still couldn't mean anything. , do you think that an engagement ring can tie that lady's heart
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Saili and I thought exactly the same, and several other people also thought so. Let alone an engagement, even a marriage, or even a child in the belly, even if that person After the young lady gives birth to a child, she still needs to be vigilant until the child grows up."
Hearing everything his mother said, Horkels III had a terrible headache. He would rather be really stupid now than sit here and receive advice from the Queen Mother.
What's more, he had to endure not to smile. It seemed that he didn't carry that strong sedative with him, so it was really not suitable to talk about Enleco.
As long as things related to this guy, I would either be shocked to death, or I couldn't help laughing until I went crazy.
These women really figured it out. Engagement doesn't count, you have to get married as soon as possible. Getting married is not enough, you have to get pregnant immediately, and you have to give birth to a child as soon as possible.
Enleco is a guy with great powers. I wonder if he has the ability to solve these problems. Horkels III secretly muttered that these women had been studying together for a long time, and most likely they wanted to plan their own wedding.
His Majesty the Emperor stared straight at the ground, still pretending to be stupid, because apart from this move, he really had no other choice.
He had already scolded the big bear Kobe Leo bloody in his heart.
Why is this guy making noise when he has nothing to do
What a good thing it is now, harming others, harming yourself, and even harming yourself as the emperor! He even got himself burned, and the situation was so bad that it was impossible to deal with it!
His Majesty the Emperor even thought about telling the whole story to the Queen Mother and clarifying everything, so that he would not have to bear such heavy pressure.
However, before he could speak, Her Majesty the Queen Mother had already said: "Emperor, let me make it clear to you. This time at the royal wedding, you and Milinda will be a couple, and Somilet's status will be further consolidated. After stabilizing, just as you said, let Kobe and Li Aoqing really get what they want.
"Although Somilet likes to play power, he has no ambition to take your place. As long as you make him feel stable, as long as you trust him like the late emperor trusted the old prime minister Ross, Somilet's talents will definitely be able to help you. Govern the country well. "Hagero and Miss Fenasia are also a perfect match. Hagero represents all the nobles of the foreign vassal anyway. What's more, he is the child of Saili after all. , Saili has a lot of affection for the common people. The routine that Hegeello practiced in Kasina was also influenced by Saili to some extent. He will help you realize your wishes. Think about it, as long as He fully supports you, can those foreign nobles still oppose it? This is much better than you now having a strategy but no assurance, right
"What's more, Miss Fenacia is the niece of Kobe Li Aoqing. If the two of them are said to be a couple, the whole court is still not united? In addition, this lady has already become a high-ranking figure in people's minds in Chengdaville. A figure far superior to her uncle, Hegeelo's only shortcoming was that he was not originally loved by the people. The two of them made up for each other and could definitely play an immeasurable role in promoting changes.
"I have made a plan a long time ago. Let Hagriro be your best man and that lady be Milinda's bridesmaid. After your engagement ceremony is over, you will announce on the spot that the two of them will make a sacred oath together. Then, you announced the new set of personnel appointments and dismissals you had planned. In front of the public, the young lady had already accepted Haguero's ring, and her uncle Kobe Leo was also watching the ceremony. There was absolutely no room for excuse. , strike while the iron is hot, finalize the matter, and then wait for the wedding to be held.
"During this period, this young lady will let her live with Milinda in the palace. If she lives outside, there is no guarantee that she will not escape. However, it is not convenient to live in Hegeello's house. She will feel restricted. , this was originally against her will, and it was perfect for her to live in the palace. Two temporary palaces could be built for her and Milinda in the Royal Garden. This was also to prevent the young lady from escaping.
"I heard that the young lady and Sophie, the little magician, could work together to cast unimaginable forbidden spells. Hagrid and Somilet were completely defeated by this trick. I don't want to The same thing happened in Vedsk.
"I remember your father once mentioned that the altar in the Royal Garden is actually a magic circle. It has an effect, that is, it can invalidate all magic within a certain range. He talked to me about this altar. When we were in the magic circle, we were just chatting. I can’t remember it clearly after so many years, but you can tell me, is that true?”
"Well, there is indeed such a saying. There is a terrifying immortal devil suppressed under the altar in the Royal Garden. The altar is indeed a magic circle. It can drain the magic power and dissipate it into the air. Within the range covered by the magic circle No magician can use magic inside, but no one knows how to control this magic circle." Horkels III frowned and thought for a while and said.
In fact, he had never thought of using the magic circle left over from ancient times. Instead, he was reminded by his mother that he thought there was such a super powerful cage for magicians.
"Isn't that the case? Since someone can create this altar, someone can also use that altar. It's not appropriate for Kobe and Li Aoqing to handle this matter. See if there are other talented people in our Kaoqi And the suitable candidate will be fine as long as he is not related to that young lady and that little magician Sophie." asked the Empress Dowager.
"this??"
Horkels pondered for a long time. No one knew the super magician possessed by the Kingdom of Kaoqi better than him.
The great wizard Kobe Leo and the officiant Meron are both well-known super magicians.
There is also Trode next to Hegeero.
There is also a Drakes beside Somilet. Although these two people are unknown, they are both characters with the ability to be super magicians.
Apart from that, we have to count Enleco.
Among these people, Enleco himself is obviously an absolutely unsuitable candidate. Kobe Leo and Meron have a close relationship with Enleco, and they can't be trusted either. Originally, the most suitable candidate was the evil mage next to Hagrid.
However, according to Milinda, when they were in Stryer County, the evil mage got along quite well with Enleco and had a deep friendship. In addition, the evil mage always gave people a mysterious feeling.
In fact, this evil mage is completely different from Drakes. Drakes was only hired from an extremely remote mountainous area to assist Sommeret after Sommeret came to power. However, Trod was hired by Hagrid. When Elo was very young, he deliberately got close to Hegeero, who was still quite young at the time.
The most peculiar thing is that Trode is Hagrid's teacher in a sense. Although he does not know swordsmanship, he is Hagrid's first teacher in swordsmanship. It was precisely because of his guidance that Hagriro did not take any detours in his swordsmanship training, and finally reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
This is partly because of Hagriro's talent. He is the only one among all the Paladins who has not been formally taught by a master, but can rely on the martial arts training experience left by his ancestors and through hard training to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship. .
But it was Trode who laid a solid foundation for Hagueiro early on and steered him in the right direction, which was the key.
Trode is indispensable to Haguero's achievement.
This is really weird. Trode is definitely a guy who is incomprehensible. What's more, according to Milinda's description, at the most critical moment in Chengdaville, Trode left Hegeello's side.
It was when Hageello needed to rely on him the most that he left Hageello's side.
It is precisely because of this that Milinda was able to achieve a comprehensive victory, otherwise, the final outcome would have been difficult to predict.
However, looking back and thinking about this matter carefully, I always feel that Trode seemed to have deliberately taken the opportunity to avoid all this. This evil mage is so mysterious that it is impossible to guess.
After ruling out these possibilities, the only option is Drakes next to Somilet.
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
"I'm relieved now. You can make arrangements as soon as possible. I made an appointment with some ladies in the afternoon and asked them to bring the clothes patterns. The things designed by those craftsmen are always not to my liking. The old tailor was here That's fine. I'll give the old tailor the wedding attires for you and Hegeero and his wife. I'll be absolutely assured, but those people nowadays still don't talk about them." The Queen Mother was not without regrets. said.
"Yes, that old tailor is definitely a talent. It's a pity that I didn't realize that before that little magician Sophie made a huge contribution during her tour to Darville. It can be said that without that old tailor There is no such situation today. In Stryer County, his reputation is extremely high, even higher than Milinda." Horkels III said.
"Hey, that's good, call him back quickly. Aren't you in need of a right-hand assistant now? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have him help and Somyret to be in charge of court affairs?" "What a pity. He is already dead, already dead when the Blood Fox Bandits attacked." His Majesty the Emperor said with regret.
"Oh, really? What a pity. What a good person. By the way, you have to show something. That old tailor has served us for so many years. At the end of his life, he helped you so much. You always Do you want to express something?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Yes, in compliance with the Queen Mother's will, I think it would be appropriate to posthumously grant him a noble title, right?" Horkels III asked. He wanted the Queen Mother to tell him what kind of title he would be given posthumously.
After all, for a commoner to become a high-ranking noble, the pressure he will face as an emperor is still very high. If the Empress Dowager speaks, which minister dares to be nagging
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Horkels III said, the Queen Mother obviously disagreed. She shook her head and said: "Hey, you people only know how to reward people with titles and official positions. Is it useful? You can just give him one." Duke Dangdang, can that old tailor enjoy it in heaven
"As I said before, the human heart is more important than anything else. The important thing about love between a man and a woman is to capture the other person's heart. If a courtier wants to make a career, he must also capture the heart of the other person. Hagrid Aello and Someret knew how to capture the hearts of most of the important ministers in the court and the nobles of the foreign vassals. "Although Kobe Leo did not do it deliberately, he firmly grasped the hearts of the people and at the same time gained I have lost your trust, but how come you, the emperor, only know how to use rewards to control your people? You have to try to control the hearts of your ministers and people!
"Think about it, in terms of talent, you are much better than your father, and you have Hegeelo and Somyret under your command, both of whom are more talented than the old prime minister Ross, plus Kobe Lee Ao Qing is deeply respected by the people, but why is your reputation far less grand than that of your father? Why was the previous situation so much more chaotic than when your father was in power
"Because you like to use tricks to win over people, and you like to reward people with titles and official positions too much. You give people the impression that you are an overly rational and unemotional monarch, a shrewd but impersonal emperor. Your ministers and people Of course I will only respect you, not love you.
"Think with your heart, can you express your respect for a deceased old man by conferring a title on him? If this old man is as you said, respected and loved by so many people, you What will those people who respect and love the elderly think of your reward? Will they turn to respect and love you because of this? Or will they just regard you as a just emperor?"
Hearing the Queen Mother say something that he had never heard before and had never thought about, Horkels III was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that such a brilliant insight would come from the mouth of his mother who had never expressed any political opinions in her life.
Although these opinions are mixed with too much emotional color, and even compare the love between men and women with politics, they also naively believe that for an extremely realistic person like Somilet, he can be firmly entrenched simply by being moved by emotion. Keep him under control.
However, most of the insights are completely correct and are things I have never thought of.
The Supreme Being once again realized that he knew too little about the people he knew best around him. Maybe the real wise man is around him, but he has never discovered it.
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his noble head and said with great sincerity: "Yes, Mother, I will sincerely make the old man's contribution to the Kingdom of Kaoqi be remembered by generations of Kaoqi. The descendants of this generation will remember it firmly." Seeing that her son had understood everything, Her Majesty the Queen Mother leaned peacefully on the recliner and said: "Emperor, I know that you are better than your father. Now that you understand, You will definitely do better than anyone else, so just go about your business."
Horkels III quickly agreed and bowed out of the Queen Mother's palace respectfully.
After exiting the palace gate, he walked towards the palace gate without looking back. The guards waiting outside the palace quickly summoned the guard holy knight on duty.
His Majesty the Emperor is leaving the palace.
The late autumn season did not cast any desolate color on the lawn in front of Somilet's mansion.
The lawn is still as green, neat and smooth, just like the prime minister who lives here.
As usual, Somilet got up from bed around three o'clock in the afternoon.
For a person who has slept all day, there must be nothing left in his stomach.
Therefore, the prime minister's "breakfast" is always extremely rich.
The change in situation apparently had no effect on his appetite. Although he was actually under house arrest now and could not take a step out of the mansion without His Majesty the Emperor's order, he obviously did not take all this to heart.
Although he cannot go out, it does not mean that the information is blocked, nor does it mean that he cannot get in touch with the outside world.
In fact, it was only at this time that the intelligence network he had worked so hard to build for many years truly showed its value.
In that small reception room, which was beautifully and uniquely decorated and filled with rare treasures, there was a stack full of information from all aspects.
Now that Somyret had been temporarily deprived of all official positions, he had time to analyze the information.
After this setback, Somilet discovered that he had missed so many important things before.
I used to think that being cautious was my virtue and being resourceful was my specialty. It seems that these are all illusions.
This time, he was completely defeated by his own sister, which was undoubtedly a powerful sobering agent for him. Somyret was not very depressed about this fiasco. At least he thought that he had discovered a lot in this fiasco, and at least he knew where his weaknesses were.
In fact, I am not the only one who knows this.
After returning to the capital, Drex, who had never left his side, actually asked for leave. He needed to go to a far away place to find some information, some information that could make him stronger.
It seems that Drekes has always been worried about the disastrous defeat in Chengdaville due to the joint efforts of the little beauty and the little magician Sophie. It can be seen that this time he has made up his mind.
I remember he once told himself that he had a way to become the most powerful magician in the world, but that method was extremely dangerous and the chance of success was slim.
Although, when I said these words, the most powerful magician in the world was recognized as the great magician Kobe Leo, but now it is obvious that this big stupid bear can no longer be called the strongest magician. That Enlai Ko and his teacher, Her Royal Highness the Princess of Sophie Kingdom, are obviously much more powerful than Kobe Leo. Even Drex is not sure whether she is enough to fight these two guys after gaining strength. However, except taking risks, Drekes had no other option. When he was in Chengdaville, he was enveloped by the forbidden curse and had no room to fight back. He was simply at the mercy of others.
Drakes was absolutely unwilling to do this, so he was willing to risk his own life. In addition to Drakes, another guy who shuts himself behind the scenes and focuses solely on improving his own strength is Hegeero.
It seems that being defeated by his sister's sword is definitely a huge stimulus for this guy.
Hagrid was originally a proud and arrogant guy. In addition, he had always had smooth sailing and had never met an opponent. Now, being defeated miserably at the hands of a woman would probably be enough for him.
Even though she lost to Milinda, it was not the first time.
However, it was just a joke before, and he didn't really take the game of hunting for women seriously. If it came to swordsmanship, he was absolutely sure of winning.
Unfortunately, this time, it was obvious that the last thing he could be proud of was smashed to pieces by his sister. This was a truly heavy blow to Hagrid. What's more, even though Drakes suffered a disastrous defeat, at least he knew how to make himself stronger.
For Hegeello, it is almost impossible to surpass Milinda.
Of course, it's not absolutely hopeless. There are at least two ways to make him stronger.
He can ask Milinda or the little magician Sophie for help. Since Milinda can achieve both magic and martial arts, there is no reason why he can't do it. But would Milinda be so generous as to teach him a skill that she was extremely lucky to acquire
As an older brother, he knew his sister's character and temper quite well.
As for the little magician Sophie, the love rival he hated with all his heart, how could Hagrid ask him for advice
Hagrid was not a broad-minded guy to begin with.
Therefore, during these days, Hagrid was immersed in his home and thinking about ways to improve his sword skills. He must have been very distressed. After all, superhuman strength was unlikely to be obtained through hard thinking. Luck, combined with proper guidance, is the key to success.
But obviously for people in this family, luck is never good. Especially when it comes to women, luck is extremely bad. Just as Somilet was clearing his mind and trying to focus on the information on the table, suddenly the door to the lounge opened.
Somyret didn't even need to raise his head to know for sure that it was Hegeero who was coming.
Because the only people who could break into his mansion without notification were Hegeero, his sister Milinda, and His Majesty the Emperor.
But Milinda is always sneaky every time. She prefers to enter the room through the secret door, which is related to her melancholy character.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, he always knocked on the door before entering. This was not because of politeness, but because the Supreme Being wanted the people in the room to notice the arrival of this important person.
Only Hagero would rush in without saying a word.
"Why did you come to me? Have you found a way to break through the bottleneck in swordsmanship?" Somyret asked without raising his head. He did not ask Hegeero how he could leave his mansion without His Majesty the Emperor's will. Because Hagriro would never obey anyone's orders when he was impulsive.
He didn't ask him why the guards outside didn't stop him. For a paladin, unless Milinda stood outside the door, it would be impossible for others to stop him.
But Somyret never expected that it was not Haguero who answered this question.
His Majesty the Emperor's voice came from the door: "Hagero didn't want to come originally, but I forced him to come to you."
Someret raised his head in surprise and glanced at the king.
Whether it was Horkels III or Hegeiro, they would never be polite in Somilet's small living room.
The two of them each found a chair and sat down.
Somyret also didn't show any expression. He didn't even clean up the delicious food on the table. He was eating breakfast while looking at His Majesty the Emperor curiously.
Horkels III has long been accustomed to this, and there is not only one such example in Vedsk. Although Kobe Leo is loyal, he is also a guy who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette. The two of them were eating and entertaining guests at the same time, and they were famous in Vedsk.
"Why are you here?" Someret asked.
"Come and see you two! I'm about to get married to your sister. It makes sense to come and see my uncle!" said Horkels III.
"The three of us haven't been together like this for a long time." Someret said with a sigh.
"Yes, I miss the old days very much." Horkels III said with emotion.
"Are you here to persuade me to surrender?" Somyret asked.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Somilet and Hegeelo, and Hegeiro remained silent from beginning to end.
"I can't say I'm trying to persuade you to surrender. I'm here to compromise with you two."
Horkels III thought for a long time, and it was better to get to the point through negotiation first.
Someret and Haguero knew him well, and he suddenly became very caring about others, which would definitely make them suspicious.
"Compromise?" Somyret obviously did not expect this, and Hegeiro was also extremely surprised.
"Yes, I do want to compromise with you, and of course I also hope to get your compromise." Horkels III said.
"You have won, you have won completely. The foreign vassal was once a solid piece of iron, but now you have pried it off. Stryer County and several surrounding counties must have followed you. In addition, the prosperity of Stryer County has caused some other The remote and poor counties were shaken. Haggero and I didn't pay much attention to them before, which seemed to be a huge mistake.
"Even if they don't come to your side, as long as they stand and watch, it is equivalent to your victory. Foreign vassals that cannot unite are not foreign vassals, but local nobles with selfish motives, right?
"At the court, you have probably made the arrangements. Originally, the people under my command were those who changed their minds when the wind came. The reason why they were on the side of Hegeelo and me was because Hegeero had the support of the outer vassal. The momentum is huge. But now the situation has reversed. They were able to take refuge in me at the beginning, and they can support you now, right?" Somyret said. "You are right. According to what you said, I did win. However, that is definitely not the victory I need. You should know very well how valuable the two of you are to me."
"Hahaha, now you have someone much stronger than the two of us. My precious sister surpasses my older brother in strategy, and her swordsmanship is better than Hagrid's. She is not enough to assist you? What's more? That little magician Sophie is far beyond the two of us in terms of ability, talent, and strength. Do we still need the two of us to get in the way?" Somyret said.
"Yes, Milinda is very strong. She has many advantages over the two of you. The most important thing is that she knows how to employ people. Her subordinates are much stronger than the two of you. You admit this. ? Moreover, she knows how to win people's hearts better than the two of you. I'm not wrong, right?" Horcols III knew that everything he said was in the hearts of Somilet and Haguero. It is extremely clear and will never be denied. Only facts are the most powerful evidence!
"However, there are things that Milinda cannot do. After all, she is a woman. It is difficult for women to establish their own prestige. She is very loved by the people in Chengdaville, but she still needs to use my name to subdue those people. Nobles, as for Enleco, alas! It would be great if he was a Kaoqi, or he was greedy for wealth, or even a lustful person.
"However, he happens to be nothing. In a sense, he and Kobe Leo are the same person. Fortunately, Kobe Leo is from Kaoqi, but unfortunately, Enleco is not. Can you imagine , was Kobe Leo bought by other countries
"Although you and Kobe Leo are political enemies, you will never doubt his loyalty, right? What about Enleco? Although I hold him in high regard, I can't change the fact that he is Sophie's benefactor, and in the end What worries me is his talent. He can turn a remote and poor small county full of conflicts between nobles and common people into a paradise on earth. I really have no reason to doubt that he is not capable of transforming any country into the most beautiful country in the world. powerful country."
"Are you afraid that he will escape back to the Sophie Kingdom?" Hagriro suddenly interjected and asked. "That is the luckiest thing for Kaoqi." Somyret said. Apparently, he had already thought about everything that His Majesty the Emperor was worried about. "I want to negotiate a deal with you two." Horcoles III said softly: "I hope you two can come back to help me. I have never needed your help more than now, Somilet , I need you to help me manage the government. I plan to fully implement everything that has been established in Chengdaville.
"However, you should know that what I am good at is discovering talents and giving them the most suitable jobs. Milinda is obviously not suitable for this complicated job, which requires a delicate and close mind. There is no one more suitable than you, Sommeret, and you are the one who knows and cares most about what happened in Stryer County among all the people.
"Although the perspective and angle of view are completely different from ours, isn't there a famous saying? - The enemy knows you far better than you do.
Therefore, you can be said to be the person who has studied this change most clearly and meticulously. What’s more, no one knows the original situation of the imperial court better than you. If you are responsible for implementing the change, you will definitely be more suitable than anyone else. .
"As for Hegeero, you should know best what it means that the Blood Fox defeated the local legion in Stryer County so easily. The Knights of the Kingdom of Kaoqi don't seem to be as powerful as they appear. I need a truly invincible army. The invincible corps, therefore, all the large but empty knights in the outer vassal must be disbanded and reorganized into a powerful army with unified command, and I want you to train and command this army. At the same time , I want to hand over the Holy Knights to you, so that this most powerful regiment in the Kaoqi Kingdom can reveal its true value."
"Control of the Holy Knights?"
Hegeiro was shocked. Even Somyret didn't expect that the emperor had made such a big determination and spent so much money.
The Holy Knights have always served as the personal bodyguards of successive Kaoqi emperors and have an unshakable status. The control of the Holy Knights is in the hands of the emperor himself. Unless authorized by the emperor, no one can mobilize this completely independent and strongest army.
The Holy Knights have always been the most important weight in Emperor Ka'aoqi's hands. "Yes, not only the Holy Knights, Kobe Leo has long been tired of his position as Prime Minister of the Interior. He has wanted to resign from me several times, but he has never been able to do so. Now, I plan to fulfill his wish, Prime Minister of the Interior. I plan to hand over the position of minister to Milinda. However, it is impossible to be busy with official duties all day long. I plan to let you, the elder brother, shoulder the real responsibility. Kobe Leo can be responsible for training the magic corps. " In addition, the country's finances must be centralized and managed. The treasury is not just about collecting taxes. Somyret, you have to help me completely transform Kaoqi's financial office. Enleco does not have any knowledge in this regard. Jiu Shu has never thought of a solution.
"However, for us, this is the basic lifeline, and it must be careful and meticulous. If you can help me sort out a complete and effective financial system, Somilet, I will follow the promise of His Majesty Emperor Xinluoan and the ministers back then. That way, your family can get 1% of the national tax revenue from generation to generation, which is a reward for your huge contribution." Horkels III further said.
"Are you really going to disband everything? Overthrow the independent corps of each vassal, the independent finance of each vassal, the Holy Knights personally commanded by the emperor, all of these traditions that have been practiced in the Kingdom of Kaoqi for hundreds of years?" Suomi? Leiter asked doubtfully.
Because everything Horkels III said had already exceeded the scope of his original expectations.
Originally, he just thought that His Majesty the Emperor planned to take back the real power and then firmly control the legions of each vassal in his own hands, just like what the late emperor had done in his early years. In fact, power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and then dispersed to the hands of the nobles of the outer vassals. This had already happened several times in the history of Kaoqi.
This is not surprising at first. Once a strong emperor comes to power, it is inevitable to take back power.
At first, Somyret just thought that the emperor just wanted to use what happened in Stryer County as an opportunity to divide the forces of the foreign vassals.
At the same time, he used the Chamber of Commerce and Freemasonry to restrict the economy of the foreign vassal, so that he would have enough power and funds to realize his ambitious plan.
However, it is obvious that what Horkels III is planning in his mind is a more ambitious plan.
He actually planned to overthrow the centuries-old tradition of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and actually planned to build a kingdom that had never existed based on the whimsical and genius creation of that little magician.
Somyret had never heard of such a country, and had never even thought that it was possible for such a country to function normally.
What happened in Strayer County may have been exciting and fascinating, but Sommeret regarded it only as a short-lived experience built by a genius relying on his personal charm and the efforts of a few beloved people. of brilliance. In history, such brilliance has appeared many times.
However, it would be an extremely crazy thing to turn this moment of glory into a nationwide system.
Has His Majesty the Emperor gone crazy? Someret really couldn't imagine it.
However, he knew at least one thing. His Majesty the Emperor really needed him and Hegeiro to help him realize his dream.
It seems that this is not a conspiracy, the emperor is here to compromise with them.
Sommeret secretly estimated the benefits he could get from it. One percent tax was not a small sum.
Although Somilet is not a money-grubbing person, he still cannot completely ignore such a large amount of wealth.
What's more, for him, maybe this is a good opportunity to make a comeback.
If he goes according to what His Majesty the Emperor said, after his reinstatement, his position will be more consolidated, his power will be greater, and even his only political opponent will disappear from his eyes.
Although it is inevitable to lose the support of the foreign nobles, under the current situation, the role those foreign nobles can play is extremely limited. Perhaps, a temporary mutual compromise is quite suitable for you. However, I don’t know what Hagriro is thinking.
Although Somilet was tempted, he knew very well that only by forming a strong alliance with Hegeero could he be foolproof and invincible. He turned his head and glanced at Hagriro.
Hagero was completely unmoved by what the emperor said.
For him, what he is most concerned about now is how to solve the bottleneck that restricts his swordsmanship so that he can further improve.
The fact that he suffered a tragic defeat at the hands of Milinda's sword always bothered him and he couldn't let it go.
Milinda's swordsmanship has entered a whole new level, and there is no longer a bottleneck for her that prevents her from improving her strength.
After practicing both magic and martial arts, Milinda was able to use magic to make up for the power that was difficult to further improve after the sword skill reached its limit.
What's more, the combination of swordsmanship and magic will produce completely new offensive techniques that are completely unimaginable, and this kind of technique cannot be defended by the original swordsmanship.
In that fiasco, Hagriro had fully realized how far a paladin could use this skill. That kind of power is invincible and irresistible to ordinary Paladins. However, it is simply impossible for me to learn magic again. The magic knight named Kate was originally a magician, and with some clever guidance, he was able to achieve both magic and martial arts.
However, this is absolutely not feasible for yourself.
I have never had magic talent, otherwise Trode would not have let me learn swordsmanship back then. Trode is definitely a super magician, and he will definitely not be unwilling to teach him.
Therefore, Hegeiro was certain that Milinda had received special guidance from that nasty little Sophien magician and could use the power of magic without learning magic.
There was nothing Trod could do in this regard. He couldn't even guess what means Milinda used to achieve all this.
The only person who can answer my questions, besides Milinda, is the little magician Sophie.
However, it was absolutely impossible for Milinda, who had finally surpassed herself, to tell herself the secret of becoming stronger. And that little magician was originally his natural enemy, so getting power from him was probably just wishful thinking.
Apart from increasing his strength, Hegeero didn't want to think about anything. What would happen to the nobles of the foreign vassals and the court was none of his business.
Therefore, although he knew what Sommeret meant, he still said nothing. Horkels III knew very well what Hegeelo was thinking. What he was most worried about was that Somyret refused to take the bait, but he had no worries about Hegeello.
The Supreme Lord turned to Haguero and said: "Today, Her Majesty the Queen Mother summoned me, and she gave me a decree that I was not allowed to shirk. In the engagement ceremony between me and Milinda, you will serve as My best man and Milinda’s bridesmaid must be Kobe Leo’s niece, Miss Fenahia. This decision is unquestionable.
"And another undoubted decree is that after Milinda and I get engaged, it will be your turn to get engaged to that lady. The engagement will be done with the blessing of everyone, and will be presided over by Her Majesty the Queen Mother herself. Kobe, Leo and Mei Long served as the certifier, and those who watched the ceremony were all the respectable nobles of the Kaoqi Kingdom. "After the engagement, the lady will temporarily live in the palace. You understand, she lives in the palace, not in Kobe Leo's home." , not in any embassy, but in the palace. Until the wedding day, you will be my best man and a lucky groom who will be blessed by everyone. What do you think?"
Just as Horcoles III expected, Hageelo's eyes immediately glowed with excitement. For him, there was nothing more tempting than this.
"The Queen Mother really issued such a decree?"
The voice of this majestic commander-in-chief was obviously trembling at this time.
"Yes, if you still have doubts, you can immediately go to the palace and ask the Queen Mother in person. Let me tell you, the Queen Mother has considered everything clearly for you. The Queen Mother and your mother have already anticipated all possibilities. I even thought that the young lady ran away from home with a certain lover and escaped overnight, so I planned to let her live in the palace."
His Majesty the Emperor knew that he should be moved at this time and let this stubborn guy know how much the Empress Dowager thought about him, in order to hold his heart tightly. "Royal Palace? That lady is a magician, an extremely powerful magician. What's more, there is an even more powerful little forbidden spell mage outside the palace. I don't think the palace's security can stop such two powerful magicians. The magician fled."
His Majesty the Emperor obviously guessed that Hagrid had such doubts. He smiled and said: "Don't forget, there is an altar in the palace. You and Somyret must know what is sealed in that altar.
"That altar is the crystallization of ancient magic civilization. It can create a space where magic cannot be used at all. In this space, no skilled magician can cast magic because they simply cannot gather enough magic power. However, the method of using that altar has not been handed down. However, there are so many powerful super magicians in Vedsk, so it should not be difficult to find the correct method of using that magic circle." Hearing from Horkel When Si III said this, Hagriro and Somyret both understood.
Hagero jumped up from his chair with great excitement and said, "Okay, I'll go back and ask Trode right away. He will definitely find a way."
