Eastern mythology system

Chapter 116
In the resplendent palace, at the end of the north, His Majesty the King sat tall on a dragon chair.

On both sides of the main hall below, there are two rows of people with extraordinary posture on the left and right, full of powerful and confident people with their gestures and gestures.

The 50 or [-] people standing in this hall at this moment are all the most prominent and powerful high-ranking officials and ministers in the Brilliant Empire.Anyone who stomps here will shake the entire imperial capital and even the entire glorious empire.All major decisions in the empire, and all military or people's livelihood measures, are discussed and decided by these people in the hall.

It was early morning at this time, and what was going on in the hall was the daily routine court meeting.

Everything looks the same as usual.

But the old fox with a keen sense of smell in the political arena, as well as some well-informed ministers, have already noticed something strange.In the air of the hall, there are some factors of restlessness.Vaguely, it seemed that a major change was about to happen.

These highly foresighted imperial ministers raised their heads one after another, casting probing and playful gazes at the young man named Anthony in the middle of the hall.

According to what he said, he had already noticed that the Shashanmeng, the number one gang in the underground world of the imperial capital, had illegally colluded with the people of the Riga Empire.Therefore, he designed to join forces with the Iron Sword Gang, which is also a gang in the underground world, to defeat the Shaking Mountain League, capture its leader alive, and search for a large amount of evidence of secret contacts with the Riga people.

Sitting high on the dragon chair, His Majesty the King was very happy, and praised Anthony for sharing the country's worries and being the pillar of the country.He also greatly improved his title, jumping two ranks from a small lord to become a viscount master.He also ordered the House of Internal Affairs to discuss with Anthony the demarcation of the fief after the court meeting.

On the surface, everything seemed reasonable and nothing out of the ordinary.

Such a major case as the Shanshan League, which involved internal and external enemies and betrayed the empire, was indeed qualified to be discussed and preached in the hall of the court meeting.And as the hero who solved this big case, this young man named Anthony should indeed be summoned to the main hall to accept His Majesty the King's personal approval and commendation.

If things happen in any country or force, all of this is perfectly normal.

However, it was changed to the Brilliant Empire. At this sensitive moment, it seems a bit weird to bring this collusion case related to the Riga Empire to an open discussion at the court meeting.

None of these people in the hall knew about the empire's ambivalence towards the Riga people.Your Majesty, what are you trying to do?
"Your Majesty!" An old minister with white hair, beard and eyebrows came out to start.

"Now the relationship between my glorious empire and the Riga empire is very delicate. At this moment, it is a bit inappropriate to openly discuss the contacts between the forces in our empire and the Riga people, and hastily characterize it as collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country."

Before His Majesty the King could speak, Earl Leinart, who was at the end of the queue and visited Anthony late at night, immediately retorted:

"Grand Duke Keqishi's words are wrong! The relationship between the Riga Empire and us is well known. Although there is no war at the moment, there is no doubt that they are the potential greatest enemies of my glorious empire. Besides, this is the highest level of my glorious empire In the conference hall, the most trustworthy ministers of the empire are present. No matter how powerful the Riga Empire is, we should not even discard the courage to discuss and deal with their obviously hostile provocative behavior."

"Bold!" The Grand Duke of Keqishi turned his head, pointed at Earl Leinart angrily and shouted, "How dare you criticize the Duke?"

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. This is the court meeting, the hall of discussion. Right and wrong are all based on reason. If everyone is like Duke Keqishida who suppresses people with titles and keeps people from talking, there will be so many people in this meeting. Why? Just us five old fellows can accompany His Majesty?"

Earl Leinart's title here belongs to the lowest level, and he can appear in the court, of course, there are people above.

The speaker was one of the six great dukes of the empire, the Grand Duke Mateus of Burgundy.

Because of the sensitive and tense relationship with the Riga Empire, His Majesty the King summoned several grand dukes from various provinces to the imperial capital to discuss national policies together.Except that the Grand Duke of Matthias needs to command the army to guard the eastern border of the empire and prevent the invasion of the Riga Empire at any time.The remaining five grand dukes have been staying in the imperial capital for a long time.

Another marquis came out. He didn't dare to find fault with the Grand Duke Mateus, but pointed the finger at Earl Leinart: "The righteous words of Earl Leinart's words are really admirable. But how do I hear that?" Said that the Earl's family is exactly the big backer behind the Shaking Mountain League."

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. I wonder if there is evidence for the Marquis's words?"

Count Lennart squinted his eyes, and glanced at His Majesty the King secretly and quickly.Seeing that there was no difference in his expression, on the contrary, he seemed to be watching the fun with great interest.At the moment, my heart is settled, and I am more confident in Anthony's arrangement.

"You..." The marquis was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

We are all old nobles with a long history and have a certain understanding of each other's methods.How could such a means of controlling underground forces be so easy for people to grasp.Judging by Count Lennart's calm expression, he must have cleaned up all hidden dangers.

Grand Duke Mateus said angrily: "Those Riga people are so hateful, we can no longer condone and raise traitors. Otherwise, the entire glorious empire will be made into a mess by these rats. According to me, it should have been done more than two years ago. The idea of ​​the Grand Duke of Matthias is to attack the Riga Empire with a large army. Under the attack of my glorious empire and the Holy Empire, the people of Riga will lose a layer of skin if they don’t die. How can there be the current arrogance and domineering.”

Another grand duke joined the battle of words: "You can't say that. Given the situation at the time, who would have expected that the Riga Empire could resist the attack of the Holy Empire? If you can sit back and watch the powerful enemy be wiped out without a single soldier, Nature is the best policy."

"What's the best way to go up! Now we're stuck, we're timid..."

"..."

"..."

The scope of the verbal war expanded, and almost all the ministers in the hall joined the battle group.

His Majesty the King, sitting high on the dragon chair, just watched, neither opening nor stopping.

According to the agreement between him and Anthony, today's protagonist is the teenager.His Majesty the King was naturally happy to be at leisure, and made up his mind to sit quietly and watch the fun.

The pre-determined protagonist stood alone in the middle of the hall, watching with cold eyes the scene that was as noisy as a vegetable market.I already have a general understanding of the positions and positions of these important imperial ministers in my heart.

The Grand Duke Mateus is obviously a main fighter, and he advocates a tough confrontation with the Riga Empire.It is believed that the current procrastination strategy is not only impossible to wait for the collapse of the Riga Empire, but will only drag down the glorious empire.

Ke Qishi and another grand duke are peacemakers, advocating a friendly treatment of the Riga Empire.In exchange for the friendship of the Riga Empire, part of the empire's interests can even be properly ceded.As for Her Royal Highness's personal happiness and wishes, there is no need to consider it in the face of national justice.

There are two other dukes who are vacillating on the fence, and they don't clearly agree with which side.However, he expressed firm opposition to the use of force against the Riga Empire.

The rest of the Marquis, Earl and others, all headed by a certain Grand Duke, chose to stand among the three groups.

In general, both the peace faction and the wall-riding faction are opposed to the use of force, which is tantamount to indirectly condoning the actions of the Riga people in the glorious empire.The Grand Duke Mateus is a bit weak with one-on-four.

Suddenly, a clear voice sounded from the hall.

"It is only today that I finally understand why so many old aristocratic families have been passed down for so long in the long river of history. Their family history is even longer than the existence of many empires."

These words were so loud that they covered up the voices of all the important officials of the empire in the verbal war.

Everyone fixed their eyes, but it was the young man named Anthony who spoke.

"Bold boy, don't even look at how many important people are here, there is no place for you to talk."

An earl of the peace faction was barely able to speak just now. Seeing this earl being spoken loudly by his lower youth, he couldn't help but reprimanded him.

Anthony suddenly remembered that the current situation was very similar to a famous scene in the history of Xiaobai's different world.Moreover, the words spoken by one of the wise men are also very useful for persuading the monarchs and ministers in the hall.

He didn't even look at the earl, and said to His Majesty the King inside:
"In this land we are in, whether it belongs to the Brilliant Empire or the Riga Empire, all the old nobles with profound backgrounds can continue to enjoy the power of the nobility. Of course, if the Riga Empire is in charge, this power may be somewhat different. But as long as there is no direct armed conflict with the imperial family in power, and the entire family is preserved, or even most of the power and wealth, there will be no problem."

Anthony stared at His Majesty's eyes with piercing eyes, and suddenly changed his voice.

"However, may I ask Your Majesty, can the honorable Alexandra family enjoy such treatment?"

His Majesty the King put away his theater-watching smile, and instantly his face sank like water.

The hall instantly became dead silent, dozens of living people tightly shut their mouths, not daring to make any sound.He stared intently at the young man in the middle of the main hall with complex eyes of surprise or gloating.

The Alexandra family is the royal family where His Majesty the King belongs!
