So... in this current world, no one can die easily, right
After seeing the Alliance Emperor, Richard was not as shocked as Oscar, but more complained in his heart.
By the way, Macbeth faked his death during the funeral at the White Stone Tower. Now the Emperor of the Alliance has also learned this trick? If we include people from the Truth Society who either died and were resurrected, or they couldn't be killed at all, maybe people in the current world really have this attribute of being "difficult to die"
But having said that, Alliance Emperor, what is the purpose of doing this
Resurrection of the dead, return of the dead, specializing in scaring people
Or maybe he wanted to use death to avoid the debt owed to him? Then why call him here
Richard kept complaining and thinking, and Oscar spoke up.
Oscar opened his eyes wide and asked the Alliance Emperor. His voice was trembling because he was too excited: "Your Majesty, what is going on? In the palace, I clearly saw your body, not just me, but many people Did all the ministers and princes see it?”
"I know." The Alliance Emperor waved his big hand like a bear's paw and said nonchalantly.
"Ahem!" After coughing twice, the Alliance Emperor explained, "Actually, it was just a stand-in to make some people think that I am really dead."
"But why?" Oscar was still puzzled.
Richard was also a little confused: after all, most people would not hold a funeral for themselves - no matter how you say it, it is unlucky, but don't accidentally turn the fake funeral into a real funeral.
"It's very simple, because there are many people who are looking forward to my death, Oscar." The Alliance Emperor replied, showing a contemptuous look and humming, "Oscar, you should know that my health has never been very good. Especially in the past few months of fighting with Sika, the situation has plummeted.
Just the night before, I accidentally fainted, and someone immediately started making small moves—hum, they were already preparing for my death—I have to say, my sons, and the Alliance None of the nobles would give me any peace of mind.
I thought that after winning this battle, they would settle down for a few years, but now it seems that I thought too much. There is a sentence in a book I read that is right: Human beings are the embodiment of desires. Without desires, how can we be called human beings
In fact, I don’t object to some of their little tricks. After all, if I don’t do it now, they will do it when I grow old and die in a few decades. But the problem is that no matter what small actions, they should be done within the alliance and not damage the interests of the alliance - anyone who damages the interests of the alliance should be hanged!
Therefore, I see that they are so impatient to take action, so I simply give them a chance to take action unscrupulously, reveal their true colors, and then eliminate those who dare to damage the interests of the alliance at once. If successful, the significance will be no less than winning the battle with Sika. "
"But Your Majesty..." Oscar opened his mouth but hesitated.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it, don't be wordy." The Alliance Emperor frowned.
"Yes." Oscar lowered his head slightly and said with a sad face, "But Your Majesty, no matter what, what you did was a bit abrupt. I understand your thoughts, but it has never happened before for the king of a country to fake his death. There are always many aspects that have not been taken into consideration, which will have adverse effects. If your Majesty really does this, you should discuss it with me."
"Do you think I don't want to discuss it with you? But do you think that if I discuss it with you in advance, it can still be kept so confidential?"
"ah?"
The Alliance Emperor glanced at Oscar and said: "You don't even think about why I just fainted at night, and someone immediately received the news and started to make small moves. It was because the entire palace was ventilating. I know that you are in charge of intelligence work. , The management of personnel is relatively strict, but nothing is absolute. The guy under you named... Nosy was infiltrated. "
"Nosy!" Oscar was startled, obviously a little surprised. "He is an orphan. He has no relatives. He has been trained since he was a child to be absolutely loyal to the Alliance and His Majesty. How could he..."
"No need to be surprised, what you said is correct, but he is not without shortcomings - maybe he was solid before, but after encountering the so-called acid called 'woman', he was corroded - those are the same people who are willing to spend money, listen She is said to be the youngest daughter of a certain earl - this is love, how can you not be tempted?" the Alliance Emperor said, and at the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but feel a little sarcastic.
Oscar was silent. After a while, he knelt down on the ground and apologized: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. It was my negligence. I shouldn't have..."
"Okay, okay." The Alliance Emperor waved his hand to stop Oscar's next move, curled his lips, and said impatiently, "If I wanted to hold you accountable, I wouldn't have seen you here at all - that subordinate of yours Nosy, it is indeed your mistake, but that is not the key. The key is to cooperate with me to finish this scene and let me see which bastard is really brave enough to climb up even at the expense of the interests of the alliance.
Now I have the troops stationed outside Xiaya City and the guards inside the city ready for battle. They can take action at any time to suppress the rebellion, just waiting for those who can't stand it anymore to jump out on their own initiative. And you, Oscar, keep an eye on everyone as much as possible for me, do you understand? "
"Yes." Oscar nodded seriously.
"That's good." The Alliance Emperor smiled and turned to look at Richard.
"Richard, right? My young friend, I asked Renly to call you here. It's not that I want you to join in this drama, but I want to talk to you about what I promised you before." The Alliance Emperor said, "First of all, you can Let me tell you, don’t worry, I will definitely keep my promise and I will definitely give you what I promised you.
Originally, Oscar and I were talking about announcing your reward at the celebration ceremony held in the palace five days later. But now there is a sudden change. The celebration ceremony in five days may not be held, and it is difficult to open the Royal Library immediately to get things. After all, it only belongs to me in name. I did this just after I died. , easily arousing suspicion.
But even so, within five days, five days at most, you can still get your main reward—the books and materials in the royal library that were originally promised to you, as well as the reading rights of other libraries, and the title awarded to you. , fief, you probably don’t value it too much, so you can accept it after delaying the cash for a few days, right
Of course, if you don't want to, I can give you more compensation as interest for delayed redemption. In a word - as the emperor of the entire alliance, I will never default on your debt. "
So... the core reward - what he needs most at the moment, will be cashed on time within five days, while the additional rewards will be slightly delayed a few days, and corresponding compensation will be given - Richard quickly summarized the words of the Alliance Emperor in his mind.
He didn't have much dissatisfaction with this, but...
