Chapter 346: War of words
Heracles was obviously dissatisfied with Frank, so he simply stabbed him. After he mentioned the name of the old mage, everyone present suddenly let out a sigh of relief. The emperor said directly, "Ha, it turns out it was the teacher who took action. No wonder the Grand Duke Shiratori gave in? Let alone the Grand Duke Shiratori, even I was often blackmailed to death by the teacher!"
"Ah haha!" When everyone heard this, they all laughed. In fact, all of them knew that the emperor was absolutely telling the truth. The old mage was really good at blackmail. Anyone who provoked him would be beaten until he vomited blood!
"It's just a pity that the teacher's appetite is still too small. Why don't you order more?" The emperor said somewhat dissatisfied: "If he had told me earlier, I promise to mobilize at least 100,000 elite troops to Bainiao Give him support at the border of the principality! If Grand Duke Shiratori is a little dissatisfied, I will kill him! He even dares to rob our people. I am really impatient!"
"Yes, yes, the teacher is really a little impatient this time!" Frank also said: "If we had discussed it with His Majesty earlier, there would definitely be more than two cities. When the time comes, Your Majesty can also share one city. ! ”
When this guy said this, he was clearly accusing the old mage of not thinking about the emperor in this matter, and Frank's intention was nothing more than to sow discord between the old mage and the emperor.
Everyone could see this, and the fat man was so angry that he wanted to slap Frank to death, but now it was difficult to do it in public, so he could only laugh and explain. The old mage said: "Your Majesty, you know, our ancestors He has always been unwilling to trouble others. Perhaps that was why he did not inform His Majesty."
"Am I someone else?" The emperor then said slightly dissatisfied.
Obviously, at Frank's instigation. He also felt a little resentful towards the old mage. You know, the income of a city is very huge. Although those two cities belong to the country in name, and he also has 10% tax collection power as the emperor, after all, 90% of the profits belong to Stephen and Hercules. Family. If he had gotten the news earlier and participated, as an emperor, he would have been able to get a city, and then it would be 100% profit. I don’t know how much better it is than now! That's why he is dissatisfied.
Although the fat man is cunning, he doesn't know what to say at this time. Fortunately, Hercules, known as the wise man, was by his side. Seeing that the fat man was speechless, he hurriedly helped: "Your Majesty, I think it's not that the teacher didn't want to inform you, but that the situation was urgent and there was no time at all!"
"Oh? How did you know?" The emperor immediately asked curiously.
"Your Majesty, you also know that the Dragon Territory has recently accumulated a large army at the border of the White Bird Principality, which is obviously related to this incident. The Dragon Territory and the White Bird Principality have always been in the same spirit, so this The purpose of the Cilong Territory is very questionable. But no matter what, the attitude of the Dragon Leader is definitely towards the White Bird Principality. In this case, the teacher may have taken a quick solution and forced the White Bird Duke to pay compensation. Once you leave these two cities, you won't have to worry about the intervention of the dragon leader." Hercules then said: "Therefore, it is possible that the situation was extremely urgent and the teacher did not have time to report to you before making a decision. , don’t be deceived by villains.”
Hercules was almost blatantly naming and swearing. Frank could not sit still. He pointed at Hercules angrily and asked, "Your Excellency Hercules, who do you think is a villain?"
"I mean, you~" Hercules pointed at Frank's nose unceremoniously and cursed: "The teacher is so old. He has worked hard to fight thousands of miles, running for His Majesty, and opening up new territories for the kingdom. Tu, not only did you not talk about his achievements, but you are here to sow discord between the teacher and His Majesty! If you are not a villain, who is?"
"You said it lightly. Isn't he busy for his own benefit? When did he pay attention to His Majesty? Ah, I forgot. Your Hercules family has also benefited. No wonder you are like this Speak for him!" Frank immediately retorted.
"I also understand. You must have slandered the teacher because you didn't get any benefits. You are a typical villain!" Hercules immediately said rudely.
"Nonsense, I'm doing this for His Majesty's sake!" Frank defended hurriedly.
"You are talking nonsense. Your Majesty has obtained two cities. Not only has he become the first person to open up new territories in the kingdom in a century, but he can also obtain more than 100,000 yuan in tax revenue every year. These are not all due to the teacher!" Hercules cursed: "You are a villain. It's just that you don't have the ability to make contributions to the country. Instead, you are here to slander the heroes. It is really disgusting!"
"You~" Frank is no match for the wise Hercules in terms of words. You know, Hercules was responsible for diplomacy when he was young, and he once represented the Griffin Kingdom in dealings with various countries. That man has a great mouth, and he has never suffered a loss in the entire continent. Frank was scolded speechless in a few rounds. Not only did he lose his face, but the people around him also showed disdain for him. After all, what he did today was indeed a bit boring. After all, the old mage had just made great achievements and it was too late to praise him. How could he take the opportunity to slander him? Even the unspoken rules in the aristocratic circle do not allow such a thing to happen.
Fortunately, the emperor understood at this time, and stopped the two people from scolding, and then said directly: "Teacher has made great contributions to the country this time, so he should be rewarded heavily. Oh, but what reward?" The emperor then smiled bitterly. Ask everyone.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. You know, the old mage's current status in the Griffin Kingdom has reached a peak. In terms of title, a person is a hereditary first-class grand duke, and the next higher is a prince. People who are not related to the royal family will definitely not be granted the title. As for money, there is nothing to say. I am afraid that in the entire Griffin Empire, apart from the emperor, he is the richest.
The remaining rewards are land and children. The Stephen family already had a large territory, and now they have obtained a large and fertile land. If the land is granted again, the emperor will be worried, fearing that their family will rebel! As for the title of concubine, that is nonsense. There are only three people in the Stephen family. Apart from the old mage, Fatty also inherited the title of first-class grand duke after taking over the position of family patriarch. The only boy, Lao Xie, has now become a count. The next step is to become a duke.
You know, Lao Xie is only 16 years old! This would be okay if he was the Duke of the land, but if he was promoted due to merit, it would be too much. Although the previous title of Marquis Lao Xie was basically obtained by the old mage when he was very young, the title of Earl was earned by himself by saving the elf prince Arthas. It has only been a few months since the last incident. If it were to be blocked again immediately, anyone else would frown. That's why the emperor was a little embarrassed.
Just when everyone didn't know what to do, Hercules lived up to his reputation as a wise man. He stood up first and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the teacher is actually a person who doesn't like fame and wealth. In addition, this time he is just taking care of him secretly. , you didn’t come forward yourself, so you don’t need to reward in an official name, just write a letter of thanks yourself. ”
"Ah, yes, that's true!" The emperor nodded in realization, but he immediately frowned again: "But if this happens, the credit falls on those two little guys, how should I reward them? What?"
"Haha, this is easy!" Hercules smiled and said: "Neither the little girl nor the little Stephen are people who value fame and wealth. They don't want the usual rewards, but there is one thing that may require your Majesty's help!"
"Oh, you said, as long as I can do my best, I will help you!" The emperor immediately smiled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hercules then said with a smile: "The thing is, although they have already been married once in the Elf Kingdom, that marriage was really ridiculous!"
When he said this, Hercules couldn't help but blush with embarrassment. I said in my heart, isn’t it ridiculous? My daughter was snatched away by others at the wedding. What is this?
"Haha!" The emperor and others also heard about that grand event, so they couldn't help laughing.
"I understand, you want to arrange a new marriage for them here, right?" The emperor immediately said with a smile.
"That's right!" Hercules then laughed, "If His Majesty can personally come forward as a witness, that would be the best reward for them!"
"Haha, of course no problem! I promise you!" The emperor immediately smiled happily: "However, as a reward, just one witness is not enough. I will allow them to hold the wedding in the palace! All expenses will be reimbursed by the state ! ”
The emperor actually saw that the reason why Hercules asked so was just to give him a step down. Being a witness does not require money or gifts, and you can also receive red envelopes. Even if this incident had not happened, the emperor would definitely agree. Therefore, he was very touched by Hercules' considerate behavior, so he took the initiative to hold a wedding for them in the palace and pay for it at the country's expense.
You know, a wedding only costs tens of thousands of gold coins, and compared to rewards such as titles and lands, this amount of money is nothing at all. In addition, the benefits obtained this time were too great. The tax revenue of more than 100,000 yuan a year would be more than 1 million yuan in ten years. Faced with such a rich gift, the emperor was embarrassed to be too stingy, so he was rarely generous.
