Power and Empire Chapter 697: Close the door and hit the dog (7)
Baozi’s heartfelt thanks: Gu Dazui voted for a monthly pass without spitting bones;
People rushed on the street in a hurry, and acquaintances only dared to look at each other when they met, and then hurriedly passed by, only daring to show each other with their eyes. The weird atmosphere enveloped the entire Paravin Kyoto
The loss of control of the army is more terrible than any natural disaster, but now it is not just a problem of war, but also because of some unknown reasons, such as the so-called Marquis of Berkda since he became the Minister of Military Affairs. An atmosphere of horror and tension,
This little nobleman from the south suddenly ascended to a high position, and soon revealed the nature of a nouveau riche. The whole of Kyoto was under his threat. The people of Kyoto who used to be high in the past are not allowed at this moment. The dissatisfied flattery flattered himself, and soon the southern little nobleman became a little forgetful,
"His Royal Highness, Kyoto shouldn’t be like this." In a recent court meeting, this little southern nobleman who had just become the Minister of Military Affairs asked the second prince very surprisingly, "In the understanding of the minister, since it is Kyoto should be a place where the people respect their rulers and serve them and feel extremely honored.
"And when I was there, all I saw was a group of idle people, gathered in the streets, pubs, and inaccessible hospitals, talking loudly and recklessly about the noble superiors. How can this situation be allowed?"
"Oh, is it? How could this happen?"
Sitting on the seat of the crown prince’s prison is actually a throne that has been changed from the throne of the king. The second prince Harouskes deliberately pretended to look surprised at the new minister of military affairs.
Of course he knows what this little southern nobleman wants to do. Just like the nouveau riche least likes someone to mention the embarrassment of his downfall, this little southern noble also has such a knot
Since the rebellion, the second prince Harouskes has begun to pay attention to the rumors in the market, and always criticize his own evaluation. It is time for these citizens who are accustomed to discussing at will. , Although market rumors will not produce substantial lethality, it is always not a happy thing to always hear your name hanging with unbearable words.
Due to his identity, although Harrosks was disgusted with being the object of discussion by ordinary citizens, he had to pretend to be a magnanimous gesture. Now some people are willing to be this villain, Harrosks Also happy to sit back and enjoy it
"Buduck, but there are good suggestions to say." The second prince waved his hand and looked full of trust, giving this little southern aristocrat a feeling of spring breeze, and even a little bit of excitement. The glory of ancestors, even the most boastful ancestor in his family tree, has never had it"
Sure enough, this little southern nobleman seemed a bit out of control under his ecstatic mood,
He said in a ostentatious tone, in front of the upstarts in the house, "Subordinates believe that the nobles are the masters of the world and are the most important arms of His Highness. They shouldn't be the vulgar and humble ones by the streets. Common people, who are used to ridicule and tease, there is no difference between talking about them and talking about your Highness"
The Marquis of Burdak paused, and said angrily, "During my stay in Kyoto, I have heard inappropriate remarks more than once. I think this is a terrible phenomenon. Therefore, we will be defeated in the north because the lords there are too conniving to the common people. In order to regain the prestige of Kyoto, we must make Kyoto a role model for the place, otherwise how can we show the status of Kyoto"
If it was in my former territory, if someone dared to talk about adults so unaware of gratitude, the result would be hanged on a cross stake, but here. . . . . . . "
The expression of Marquis Burdak hesitated and stopped, and his bulging eyes looked at the second prince, obviously waiting for the second prince to express his attitude
"Hanged..." The second prince rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly. This guy really regarded this as a small place in the south, but he still showed hesitation on his face
"I am afraid it will be difficult. Kyoto has a population of more than 600,000 people. It is just that all the trees planted in Kyoto will be replaced by crosses. I am afraid that it will not meet your needs."
"Let’s change it to promulgation of decree," the southern little nobleman said with some regret. It seems that he did not hang the person, which is a very sad thing.
"Everything will be done according to Qing's wishes. I absolutely trust you." The second prince nodded with affirmative expression, looking like a gentleman and ministers.
Faced with this little nobleman’s unruly and reckless behavior, and the second prince, Harouskes, who urgently needed third-party support and new force assistance, he naturally opened one eye and closed one eye.
In his eyes, these so-called prohibited orders are really no big deal. In this troubled world, the army is the first.
This little southern aristocrat who has obtained a certain degree of psychological satisfaction has promised to drive 80,000 troops into the west of Palavin, echoing with the Kyoto defenders, and coping with the pressure of the crusaders. This is what he needs.
Soon, some things like banning talking about state affairs, banning gatherings and talking on the streets, banning mutual gatherings, banning. . . . . . . And so on, a series of inexplicable announcements appeared in the streets and alleys of Paravin
The sky over the city of Paravin is filled with a depressive, heavy breath, as if the dark clouds have covered the blue sky before the torrential rain, and the end is coming. Even the most daring residents dare not approach the patrolmen wandering around.
As long as there is any gathering of more than three people, there will be a patrol officer with a weapon in his hand coming over with a cold face and berating the people to disperse, otherwise there will be a scream of skin and flesh
No. 79 Phil Cableway in the southeast district of Paravin, this is a manor surrounded by a wall of creepers and tree vines. In appearance, it is no different from the nearby manor,
The only special thing is that there is a golden falcon flag flying above the tallest building in the courtyard, indicating that this other courtyard is the Palavin office of the Falcon Dynasty.
Its predecessor was an asset of the business alliance in Paravin. Due to work needs, the fat man gave this manor to Lidarcus, nominally the liaison office of the Falcon Dynasty and Swadian. In fact, it is equivalent to the Falcon Dynasty’s comprehensive surveillance of Palavin’s Kyoto and various intelligence centers,
And Lidarcus naturally became the first chief of this liaison office. The so-called Ministry of Foreign Affairs is actually this kind of organization. Here, only in this manor, it still maintains the usual tranquility, which sweeps across Kyoto. The atmosphere of terror has no effect here.
The door was opened, and Belisus entered the room solemnly. In the small living room outside the inner court, Lidarcus sitting in a chair quickly stood up and asked, "Did you figure out what is going on? Why is Swadian attacking Palavin College?"
Belisus bowed his body and saluted, "The situation at Palavin College, your lord, is really bad. Last night, the Swadians dispatched 15,000 troops to arrest the illegal people and suddenly surrounded the Palavin College. , Which lasted all night, more than 300 college teachers and about 1,300 students were arrested, and some people died because of the conflict between the two sides.
When the subordinate went down, there were a large number of soldiers inspecting on all roads to the college. I heard that the reason for the raid last night was that a head of the banner was drunk and tried to **** a female student of Paravin College in the street. , Was stabbed to death by a swordsmanship teacher from Paravin Academy who couldn’t see it. The head of the banner was the younger brother-in-law of the new Secretary of Military Affairs, so he gave a death order. This teacher must be caught."
"What, that bastard"
Lidarcus’s face was red, and he slammed his fist on the table. It’s no wonder that even the old scholars like Mr. Hedrich would scold the second prince as a sinner.
Palavin College is not only the highest institution of Swadian, but also the highest institution of culture in the whole continent. Students studying there are not only the Swadians, but also Vecyas, Rudds, and Dorothy. The Croatians and Salanders, here is the gathering place for the elites of all rivers and rivers. It includes the young elites of all the kingdoms of the mainland, and it is the symbol of the civilization inheritance of the entire Ikadiva continent.
No matter which country’s dignitaries, they maintained a respectful attitude before this representative of the highest academic institution in the mainland. Even if King Swadian visits the Academy in person, he can only walk into the gate of the Academy.
But now, this symbol of civilization, the eternal glory in the hearts of the Swadians, has become the object of being trampled on by some powerful and powerful people. How can we not let the teachers at Palavin College be indignant?
Just as the two were talking, the small door next to "Chuck" walked out of an accompanying military doctor
"How is the injury of Ms. Hydris?" Lidarcus asked anxiously. This military doctor was also one of the entourages this time. He shook his head and sighed, "The subordinates are incompetent. , Lord Hedrich lost too much blood, coupled with the pain of fractured legs, his subordinates can only use herbal medicine to maintain his lethargy. At least he will survive tonight before he can survive."
"You have worked hard, do your best." Lidarcus waved to the military doctor, his eyes full of tears of sorrow,
Lidakus glanced at the small door next to him, and Lidarcus lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know the name of the teacher who was arrested?"
"I heard that it was the Marquise of Ritter Salin," Belisus replied in a low voice, "This woman is somewhat famous in Kyoto. She was once a swordsman in the Swadian royal family. I heard that she is pretty good."
Belisus replied, "This time, in order to search for her, the Swadians almost searched Kyoto. Unfortunately, I don’t know what went wrong. There is no news until now. Some people say, this The woman may have been out of town"
"Retsaline..." Lidarcus looked a little weird and shook his head, looked at Belysus, hesitated and asked, "You said, how come I feel like I've heard this name? , Have you seen it somewhere?"
"My lord, it's the first time I've come to Swadian and I'm not familiar with the place. Don't talk about the marquise, it's just a woman..."
Belithus looked back innocently. It’s no wonder that there has been a panic in Palavin City recently. Except for refugees~IndoMTL.com~, no young woman dared to walk on the streets full of warriors, coming soon. For half a day, all the entourages sent out to find the maid all came back with bitter faces
"Come here, bring the list of people sent by Swadian to relatives"
Lidarkus was silent for a while, suddenly remembered something, and shouted out the door with joy. Soon, an entourage came over with the list, and Lidarkus took the list and looked at it carefully. The eyes gradually light up
"I'll just say, why is this name so familiar"
Lidarkus suddenly showed a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, and handed him the list of names to Belisus. "Look, is it this woman? If it is, that's very interesting."
"Quickly, go to Prais Mansion" Lidarcus looked anxious and waved to Belisus
"My lord, what are you going to do?" Belisus's face was blank and the list of results, as expected, saw the name of Rite Salin on the front page of Princess Swadian's list of gifts to her.
Lidarkus said with a look, "If the whole city is searched, then only the place where Princess Swadian is left. The other party is not a fool. The great momentum outside is just smoke. It must be secretly prepared. What are you doing?"
