Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 523: The hidden secrets of the rebellion
Liang Taibai also politely expressed his gratitude to the king. The king seemed very generous, but in fact, even if the king did not hand over the command, Liang Taibai had countless ways to bypass the king and directly command the army.
The various funding provided by Dawning Academy to the Duchy of Rose over the past few years has not been a waste of water. Those grants have been exchanged for almost absolute control over the Duchy of Rose, politics, finances, and military, especially after the king was crowned. When they were disobedient, Dawn Academy placed pro-Dawn Academy officers in the Royal Guard Army very early in order to cope with changes at a critical time.
The king knew this too well, so he simply gave a favor to follow the boat.
"I have handed over the command to the ambassador. You can decide on the appointment of these officers." The king was a little strange. He knew that when Liang Taibai was going to command, he would definitely put a large number of people from the Dawn Academy in the army, but There was no need to tell him about these things, and he was also mentally prepared.
Liang Taibai's purpose is of course more than that, and he smiled: "Speaking of which, you may not know the king, but you owe Xiao Lin a great favor."
The king looked puzzled: "Favorites?"
Liang Taibai replied: "Your granddaughter was out a few months ago and was attacked in Wildfire Town. Fortunately, she was saved by Xiao Lin."
The king has no expression on his face: "My princesses live in the palace all year round, let alone Wildfire Town, but the Rose Duchy has never left. Of course they were just escorted away by you two days ago."
Liang Taibai smiled and reminded "kindly": "I was talking about Princess Ibea, I think you, the king, shouldn't forget your own granddaughter."
The palace fell into a dead silence.
The king's gentle face froze in an instant. He turned his head and began to look at Xiao Lin very seriously for the first time. In the two previous meetings, he only regarded Xiao Lin as Liang Taibai's follow-up.
Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed, but more puzzled. He didn't understand why Liang Taibai suddenly pulled out Ibea, but he also observed the king's face curiously, wanting to see how the old man treated himself Is there any guilt for the granddaughter who personally drove out of the palace?
After a brief absence, the king’s face returned to calmness. He nodded towards Xiao Lin and said: “Although Ibea’s mother was expelled from the royal family for triggering the kingdom’s laws, Ibea’s blood is flowing with the royal family after all. , Thank you for saving the blood of a royal family."
The king's expression is not cold or cold, gentle and indifferent. It is completely polite and courteous. It is easy to hear it. It seems that the king didn't care about Ibea at all.
Xiao Lin didn't have much affection for the king, but now he hates it even more. If it weren't for a diplomatic occasion, he would probably have the urge to go up and beat the ruthless old man severely.
After introducing each other, Liang Taibai did not continue to stay. He took Xiao Lin and left the palace. It was not until after he walked far that there were no palace guards around, Xiao Lin couldn't help expressing his confusion. He didn't believe it. This politically keen and experienced ambassador will do a meaningless and boring thing.
However, Liang Taibai did not choose to answer directly, instead he asked in a serious manner: "What kind of person do you think King Rose is?"
"I am not familiar with him."
"It's okay. Tell me about your first impression."
"Although he seems to be very enthusiastic towards us, he actually means a lot to beware of us in every sentence. He doesn't welcome us. I can’t judge whether he is a good king or not, but at least he will never They are qualified relatives." Xiao Lin said truthfully.
Liang Taibai smiled noncommitantly, and sighed with a slightly complicated face: "Frankly speaking, aside from his position and identity, he is actually a good king. You know the first thing he did after taking office. What is it?".
Xiao Lin shook his head.
Liang Taibai continued: "The Norma people are very curious about many novel things on our planet, and many things have even become local luxury goods. With our support, the previous kings will inevitably Asking us for these things is disgusting, but these small needs will naturally be met under foreign policy.
But this king is different. After he took office, he borrowed books from us, a large number of books, books in various aspects. "
"Our Earth's own book?"
"Yes, we also store a lot in our own library. Of course, it is impossible to show the earth history books to the indigenous people, but at that time, under the good diplomatic relations between the two countries, other books were also given away. A lot of them, anyway, these things are the least valuable."
"Which book did he borrow?" Xiao Lin vaguely guessed something~IndoMTL.com~ There are many, in addition to history, humanities, arts, economics, etc., especially economics. At that time, we actually didn't take it seriously. A person who didn't know the history of the earth went to study the economics and politics of the earth, but within a few years, the king began to try to carry out the reforms in Qiangwei. "
Xiao Lin opened his mouth wide in surprise: "He wants to get rid of our affiliation?"
"Yes." Liang Taibai sighed again, showing a face that he didn't know whether it was pity, pity, or a little admiration, and said: "Unfortunately, how could his political intelligence quotient be better than those of the senior level of Shuguang Academy. As for the old man of hundreds of years, although the king’s series of reform policies are very obscure, the school quickly realized his intentions."
Xiao Lin was silent for a while, and said: "We definitely won't allow his reforms."
"The Principality of Rose is a very important vassal territory for us. We will never tolerate losing here, but if we rashly assassin or let the king step down in some other way, it will arouse fierce opposition from the conservative ministers of Rose. Even the mutiny, the chaotic rose is also not what we need, so we secretly sent people from the intelligence department to obstruct the king’s reforms in various places, and made the ministers believe that the more embarrassing dilemma caused by the failure of reform is because of the king. Then he completely lost his trust in the king."
Xiao Lin suddenly realized it and whispered: "Ambassador Liang, don't you want to say that this rebellion started because of us!"
Liang Taibai smiled bitterly: "The actions at the time were measured and it was impossible to reach the level of a rebellion, but I did not expect it to be used by others. Some people secretly took advantage of the situation and used us to launch a rebellion." (unfinished) To be continued.)) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
