king of ros

Chapter 352
When the servants led the horse through the street to the Novgorod castle, Rostislav looked extremely majestic on the surface, but in fact it was empty inside, and the prince of Moscow was still obtaining the Novgorod castle for him. Shocked by the fact.

Since Rostislav looked very similar, no one noticed the prince's wandering.

The people of Novgorod are also full of praise for Rostislav. After all, the name of the Prince of Moscow has been spread throughout Russia, and now seeing him in person feels even more majestic.

The teenagers are extremely envious of the prince of Moscow's military name, and the prince's posture fascinates them, but what attracts them more now is the horse-armored entourage behind the prince of Moscow. No boy will refuse such an armored monster.

Many pregnant girls are attracted by the majestic appearance of the Moscow prince. The 28-year-old Rostislav is like a strong man in a hero song.

And the most important thing is that the prince of Moscow not only has the strength of a strong man, but also is much more handsome than these strong men who rob houses. That kind of mature temperament is enough to seduce these inexperienced girls.

As for the middle-aged citizens and elders of Novgorod, the attitude towards Rostislav is completely an attitude towards the younger generation.

This prince grew up in Novgorod. Many people have seen Rostislav running around when he was a child. For Rostislav, they feel more like watching a child grow into a talent.

All the princes of Moscow are full of praise, countless praises, and no one opposes his rule.

Even the pagans would have preferred the warlord to be their ruler, rather than a pampered kid from Kyiv.

As for the Chude people, they even supported Rostislav. Due to the existence of the Chude camp, the Chude people had a good sense of this Rurik prince, and many Chude people even sent their children to this team.

As for the Chude Battalion, they are now stationed in the new territory of Ross, that is, from the tribal lands from the Bulgars, to strengthen the control of the local tribes. After all, there is nothing more suitable than this army for activities in the forest.

The whole city is very supportive of Rostislav. It can be said that the prince of Moscow has gained a firm foothold in Novgorod from the very beginning of his rule, but it will definitely take time to practice power.

And the subordinates of the prince of Moscow also aroused vigorous feelings for coming to Novgorod, and those personal soldiers who followed Rostislav to leave Novgorod watched with moist eyes that everything in front of them could not be restrained.

Many of them had once been a humble part of the city, and now they came back like heroes, warmly welcomed by their former neighbors.

Among them, Gevalan's feelings are particularly strong. The former captain thought that he would never be able to return to this city for the rest of his life, but now that he is back, he is still welcomed by the whole city.

These people are all old people under the command of the prince, and they couldn't help being moved to tears, they went home.

As for the soldiers from Northeast Russia, they had to be amazed. They thought that Moscow was already the largest city in Northeast Russia, but today they saw a city bigger than Moscow.

The immigrants from Kyiv are better. They came to the north from the mother of cities. Is there any city in Russia that can be compared with Kyiv?
In this way, Moscow was welcomed to the castle of Novgorod, where Vicher held a ceremony, officially making Rostislav the prince of Novgorod.

The magistrates expressed their loyalty to Rostislav, the bishop of Novgorod to Rostislav, the nobles to Rostislav, and the whole city was now the subject of the Muscovite princes.

No matter what kind of inclination these people had before, but now under the huge public opinion behind the Prince of Moscow, they can only choose to submit to the Prince of Moscow. In Novgorod, public opinion rules the city.

For otherwise, without even Rostislav, the fanatical Novgorod masses would help their prince smash the heads of all opponents.

While sitting on the Novgorod throne, Rostislav still felt like a dream, and he even slapped himself several times to make sure he was dreaming.

However, this did not affect his work. The prince of Moscow and the prince of Novgorod received city dignitaries and businessmen as rulers, accepted their congratulations and gifts, and then sent comfort and promises.

When all this was done, the Prince of Moscow immediately went to his father's grave, sat down in front of his father and said these words, he needed to take a break.

Now Rostislav has too many words in his heart, but the prince of Moscow will not say these words to his subordinates.

But Zoe and her sons are still in Moscow, so Rostislav can only talk to his father in the coffin.

"But I think I should also accept this fact. Father, I have more work to do next. I will say goodbye today. When Zoe and the sons come, I will show you my family."

After saying the last word to his father, he stood up, there are still many things to deal with.

And not long after, Rostislav was sitting in the room where his father and grandfather had handled city affairs, busy writing a letter.

The letter was addressed to his uncle, Izyaslav Yaroslavich Rurik, Grand Duke of Kyiv.

What happened in Novgorod, of course Rostislav had to write to the uncle to explain the situation, what if the uncle thought he drove his son away?So the letter must be written, and the situation must be explained.

As for if the uncle asks Rostislav to give up the princely position of Novgorod... well, he will just pretend that he didn't see it or hear it. Anyway, he will be the prince.

I acted reasonably and legally, and fully complied with the norms. It was absolutely impossible to let him give up, and it was impossible to say anything.

Although it is a bit sorry for the uncle to do this, he has to do this. At most, he can make some more concessions to Kyiv. It was the son of the uncle who gave up Novgorod first and made him the prince of Novgorod.

So from this point of view, he has nothing to be sorry for the uncle, all this is taken for granted, and no one in the whole of Ross will raise any objections to this point.

In addition, as compensation, Rostislav will send back to Kyiv this year's taxes that his cousin Mstislav did not take away in Novgorod. This is a lot of money, and Rostislav will not be greedy for this money.

Of course, Rostislav also thought about what his uncle should do if he got angry because of this, but even if he got angry, he couldn't deal with Rostislav. There was only one thing that mattered most to them descendants of Yaroslav.

To clean up Vseslav of the Principality of Polotsk, this person dared to shake the peaceful environment established by Yaroslavich, and wanted to shake Yaroslavich’s rule, so he must be punished, and all descendants of Yaroslavich must be punished. You must focus on this matter.

The whole of Ross had to join forces to punish the ruler of Polotsk. Speaking of it, the uncle didn't expect that Polotsk was the one who attacked first, and almost made him succeed.

This is also the key to why Rostislav dared to write this letter. The uncle can't spare his hands to trouble him, and all his energy must be focused on the unruly Vseslav in his hands.

But the Principality of Polotsk is not easy to deal with. After three generations of Vseslav’s management, the Principality has been built as strong as an iron barrel, and when the uncle cleans up Polotsk, he will find that something happened in the south ...

In short, Rostislav's future was bright, but he did not relax because his enemy was not the uncle, never had been, his enemy was the guy who was the second uncle.

But it is a pity that even if Novgorod is brought under the rule, he still has too little means of interfering in the affairs of Southern Ross, and can only watch the second uncle do what he can do.

Speaking of this, I really don't know how the second uncle will react after knowing that he has captured Novgorod...
