Section 493 Farce in the Imperial City
After Lao Xie returned to the Magic Tower, he was not in a hurry to go to the Magic Forest. Instead, he called Chris Chen over first and told him to pay more attention to the situation in the Imperial Capital recently. Then Lao Xie hurriedly ran to the Magic Forest to make mischief with the four girls. In fact, he was not just having fun, but just to avoid the coming storm.
He deliberately did not participate in this matter in order to give the emperor and the third prince an opportunity to use their abilities to their fullest and make this incident a big deal. According to Lao Xie's estimation, the emperor and the third prince would definitely overturn the verdict of those five people, severely reprimand Catherine, and definitely bring her back.
The reason is very simple. The current army has almost become Catherine's private army. Which emperor would allow others to completely control such a large army? Especially Catherine, although she has abilities, she is not of the same mind as the emperor. Especially after the last refusal of the reward, the humiliated emperor hated Catherine deeply, otherwise he would not have allowed the third prince to mobilize his shadow troops to assassinate Catherine.
But now, the matter was completely beyond the control of the emperor and the third prince. Not only did those shadow assassins fail to kill Catherine, but they also implicated the five confidant generals, allowing Catherine to take the opportunity to completely control the army in one fell swoop. For the emperor and the third prince, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, right? So they had to take action. The first step was to remove Catherine's military power. Even the emperor was taboo about Catherine having troops. Only by removing her military power could the emperor and the third prince dare to deal with her.
However, Catherine's military power is not so easy to get rid of. Because she is different from other generals after all. If it is an ordinary general, even if it is the three great swordsmen, the emperor can give an order if he is dissatisfied. Lift the military power directly. But Catherine is different. You know, since killing the Lich King Sorrow and saving tens of millions of people on the continent, Catherine's prestige across the continent has been astonishingly high. She can almost compete with the Elf King, the Dwarf King, and the Pope. The top big shots are on par with each other. Especially among the people, the vast majority of people loved Catherine more than the emperor. After all, the emperor did not save them, but always levied taxes. Naturally, his prestige was far less than that of a hero like Catherine.
Obviously, in this case, if the emperor removed Catherine from military power for no reason, it would definitely cause a series of problems. Not only people below will have opinions, but also internationally, there will definitely be conservative criticism. Especially those countries that were saved, such as the Empire of Light, the Kingdom of Elf, etc. I will definitely support Catherine. Therefore, the emperor did not dare to be so casual when dealing with Catherine, at least he had to have a reasonable excuse.
And now there happens to be such an opportunity, as long as the cases of these five guys are reversed. If they testify that Catherine did not hesitate to frame them in order to seize military power, then the emperor can use this as an excuse to recruit Catherine back. As long as Catherine comes back, everything will be easy to handle. Even if Catherine cannot be killed, it is still no problem to put her under house arrest. From now on, whether he is killed or continues to be imprisoned, doesn’t it still be up to the emperor to have the final say?
In this way, hidden dangers can be quelled. It can also appease the families of those generals and make them more loyal to the emperor. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. It would be strange if the emperor refused to do such a good thing!
In fact, Lao Xie saw this clearly and dared to make a bet with Catherine. Of course, he also had his own plans. The first one was to let the emperor and the third prince completely expose his true face in front of Catherine. Let them use their ugly faces. Remove the last vestige of emotion from Catherine's heart towards them. In that case, everything Lao Xie will do in the future will be happy. At least there was no resistance from Catherine to worry about.
And another benefit is naturally the complete control of the army of 100,000 people. Lao Xie believes that as long as Catherine admits defeat in the bet, she will unswervingly fulfill her promise according to her influence of chivalry. In this way, wouldn't the 100,000-strong army be in Lao Xie's hands?
As long as this move can be realized, then Lao Xie will have another base. In this case, adding the Magic Tower of the God's Capital, the Gobi Castle, the Magic Forest and the island controlled by the Kraken, Lao Xie will have several places to stay, and each one is extraordinary.
In addition, these bases happen to be divided from north to south of the mainland, allowing Lao Xie to travel between the north and south of the mainland instantly using the teleportation array, which is extremely convenient. When Lao Xie's strength slowly expands in the future, by connecting all these, that will be the capital to dominate the mainland!
Of course, it's still early to say this, but you have to eat your food slowly, bite by bite, and what Lao Xie wants to eat most now is the one hundred thousand army! What surprised Lao Xie was that things seemed to go very smoothly this time. The emperor and the third prince seemed to only focus on Catherine and did not notice Lao Xie. This made Lao Xie, the oriole, very likely to laugh. to the end. And the funniest thing is that they are working **** the stage to sing operas, while Lao Xie can leisurely hide in the magic forest and watch the operas. When the time is right, just come up and pick peaches. It’s so exciting! When he thought of this, Lao Xie's mouth kept giggling, which made the four girls Constantine and Juliet confused. They thought Lao Xie's mouth was cramping!
More than ten days later, the team sent by Catherine came to the imperial capital with the five unlucky men, various evidences, witnesses, and Catherine's personal letter to the emperor.
Because Catherine seemed to be in a hurry, she ordered them to arrive as quickly as possible. Therefore, these people went into battle lightly, each with two horses. As for the prisoners, they were tied to horses. The soldiers hated these creepy guys for daring to murder their most beloved goddess, Princess Catherine, so they tortured them to death. After such a rapid march, it took more than ten days for the army to complete the journey, which naturally caused great harm to the wounded who were missing arms and legs.
Anyway, these generals, who were fourth- and fifth-level warriors, were so weak that they couldn't even speak when they returned to the imperial capital. They looked like old people who had been lingering on the sickbed for decades. When people who don't know see it, they can't imagine that these people were full of life and vigor half a month ago, generals commanding tens of thousands of troops.
However, the so-called wind and water change! On the road, the guards could still show off their power to the prisoners, but after entering the imperial capital, everything was completely different.
When they explained their purpose, it immediately caused a huge shock. From the traffickers and lackeys to the supreme emperor of a country, everyone was shocked by the news. The frontline generals conspired to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the army. This is the first time in the history of the Griffin Kingdom that something new has happened! How can we not cause a sensation?
Subsequently, the unidentified guards were first detained by the judicial officials of the imperial capital. Later, at the strong request of the generals' families, they were all charged with torturing meritorious soldiers and imprisoned. And in a place like a prison, is there any way for them to survive? With the tacit permission of some people, these warriors were tortured. Only a few persisted until Catherine came to save them, and most of the others were tortured to death.
After the news spread, the emperor, who had known it for a long time, did not care about the sensation caused by the incident. The only thing he cared about was one detail, that is, 'The criminal has been relieved of military power and sent to the imperial capital. '. Because this also means that the five generals who were the spokespersons of the emperor and the third prince have all been removed by Catherine. From then on, the emperor and the third prince completely lost control over the 100,000 troops who were on the expedition. These troops Now he may even have become Catherine's personal soldier. The inability to control the external army was what worried the emperor the most.
After receiving the news, the emperor did not dare to delay at all, and immediately quietly summoned the five people, and quickly learned what happened from their mouths. After understanding what happened, the emperor became even more worried, because he got another bad news, that is, the officials at the captain level of these generals were also purged by Lao Xie because they followed the five rebels. If these captains were not in the way, it would undoubtedly be easier for the eldest princess to control these five troops.
When he thought of this, the emperor's mood became even heavier. At this time, the third prince came with a group of family members of five generals to complain. When the emperor saw them, his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately announced impassionedly that he must find out the truth and give everyone an explanation!
The next development of things was exactly as Lao Xie expected. On the night when everyone arrived in the imperial capital, all the witnesses, including the captured assassin, the general's adjutant, and other witnesses, all committed suicide without exception. It was as if all the witnesses had disappeared. After a trial by a group of "selfless justice" judges, it was deemed that the evidence submitted by Catherine was insufficient to prove the guilt of the five generals. So they were all released in court. Those guys were naturally filled with gratitude and shouted loudly in court that the emperor was wise! The sincere look moved the audience to tears!
And then, under the instructions from above, the generals who had been "wronged" began to bite back, saying that Catherine deliberately framed them in order to isolate them and monopolize military power. They asked the emperor to make a decision for them and restore their reputation and positions! And strongly requested His Majesty the Emperor to take back the military power of His Royal Highness Princess Catherine. It is said that the princess is too young to take on a big responsibility.
The most interesting thing is that a few of them even wanted to bite Lao Xie, saying that Lao Xie had led the eldest princess into evil and helped Princess Catherine commit the crime, and begged His Majesty the Emperor to severely punish little Stephen.
