Chapter 504: Refusal

Trojan Palace.

After King Priam's words were spoken, everyone discussed fiercely, and Pei Ziyun also understood that Troy intended to take revenge step by step.

The first step was to send an envoy to Greece to redeem the king's sister Hesione, who was actually the queen who ruled Salamis, and had several princes, and it was difficult to say whether she wanted to be saved or notβ€”no one asked her for her opinion.

But through this step, the legitimacy of Troy's revenge can be established - you have destroyed my city-state and plundered our princess, and we will now be held accountable.

If there is no accident, the Trojan righteousness can be established in the hundred city-states, causing a change in people's hearts, attacking and defending different situations, and maybe there is really an opportunity to defeat Greece, establish the kingdom of Asia Minor, and even unify Greece.

But the gods who lived high in the Olympic Mountains immediately understood the meaning, and so there was the crime of Paris's treachery and robbery of the queenβ€”and Troy became the camp of unrighteousness.

Seeing everyone arguing fiercely, Pei Ziyun let out a long sigh, even if he saw it clearly, what could he do?

This is the bottom line of the gods.

If Pei Ziyun dares to do something on this red line and throw the black cauldron to the Greeks or the gods, believe it or not, the gods will directly descend and kill Paris to change the trigger line?

"Don't take yourself seriously, this is the first rule in the world of gods. Pei Ziyun shook his head, not thinking about these strategic layers, thinking about his own tasks.

As the first heir, Hector could not leave at all, so Paris himself went to Greece.

After being prompted by the system, although I knew that the king called Paris to come and basically wanted to go by himself, at this time, I could not take the initiative to ask to go, but I had to be "forced" to go and leave the responsibility to the citizens' assembly, otherwise, I would be very passive.

According to the "script" of the gods, in the original history, Paris heard the news and immediately jumped out and said that if he was allowed to lead a fleet to Greece, then with the help of the gods, he would definitely be able to recapture his sister from the enemy by force, and as a result, he ran away from Menelaus's wife Helen halfway.

This is a fool, and when the nations besiege Troy, Paris will be the main culprit in the war.

Although the old king believed that war with the Greeks was inevitable, so he sheltered Paris, but it also caused Paris to lose his heart, even the Troths.

In this world, I may not necessarily develop according to the "script", but the red line cannot be stepped on, otherwise, let alone the gods descending directly to death, or some so-called oracles descending, and I, the prince of crows, will have to sing death row songs with tears.

So Pei Ziyun didn't jump out, ignoring the king's eyes a few times, just listening carefully, looking like a good prince who "I'm just a newcomer, I don't understand anything, I just listen".

However, fate is always irresistible, and the "modified script" will always go back to its original path, and Troy Ross will jump out first.

"Father, Brother Hector, as a pillar of Troy, can't go to Greece easily, but I think Brother Paris is a good fit for this trip to Greece. ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, the king nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Troyros's words.

Ifubos clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, glared at Troy Rose, and when he returned, he whispered, "Traitor." ”

Ifubos was really angry, he didn't think that his brother, who had been following him before, would speak for the "enemy", and he also saw that Troy Rose had been close to Paris a lot lately, but he was estranged from himself, what was this not a betrayal?

Troy did not squint, as if he had not heard Ifubos at all, he had thought clearly the last time he had returned, and would follow Paris in the future.

Ifubos behaved badly in the fight against the Kraken. On the contrary, Paris is like a god, whether it is force or strategy, he surpasses the brother of Ifubos, I don't know how much. The main thing is that Brother Paris is also generous.

Who to choose, isn't it clear at a glance?

After listening to Troyros's words, many people present actually agreed with Paris's mission to Greece, after all, Paris had proved his ability in the previous battle to destroy the Kraken.

But there are people who have a different opinion.

Helenos, the son of Priam's former wife, who was a master of divination and a prophet, stepped forward and said: "Father, the prophecy shows that if Paris goes, he will bring back a woman from Greece, and because of this woman the Greeks will go after Troy, and then they will set foot on the city of Troy, and kill the king, you, and all your sons. ”

When everyone heard the prophecy of Helenos, their faces changed slightly, the will of the gods was very important in this era, and everyone expressed their opinions on this prophecy and argued.

Ifubos was the first to stand up for Helenos' prophecy: "Father, I do not approve of Paris's mission to Greece, Helenos's divination prophecies have always been accurate, and this time must be no exception. In this case, Paris's mission will bring disaster to Troy, and I hope that my father will seriously consider it. ”

Troy rose up again: "Father, Ifubos is worried that there is some reason, but the prophecy of Brother Helenos cannot be correct, and Paris knows the prophecy and will definitely take precautions. ”

Ifubos looked at Troy Ross gloomily, and his eyes could almost burst into flames, and he really couldn't imagine how many times his little henchman had turned against him before.

King Priam asked with a gloomy face: "Helenos, is your prophecy reliable, if Paris now knows this prophecy, I want him to promise not to bring back any women from Greece, will the result of the prophecy be changed?"

"Father, the will of the gods cannot be changed. Helenos said with a blank face.

Pei Ziyun immediately stood up: "Father, originally I was a prince, and my father and the city-state were duty-bound, but I just came back from Mount Ida, and it was okay for me to capture and kill the Kraken, but this is to go to other kingdoms for diplomacy, and my grasp of etiquette is still shallow, will it damage our Trojan face due to the lack of etiquette?"

"And with the prophecy of my brother Helenos, I will not be able to go, for if the gods have wronged me and destroyed Troy once more, I will not be able to redeem myself. ”

As he spoke, Pei Ziyun secretly sneered.

"Sample, in history, Helenos sang the crow's beak first, and then Paris insisted on going, and the result was that all the pots were carried by Paris. ”

"Now I don't carry it, I'm in a hurry to kill you!"

Pei Ziyun's approach suddenly made everyone's argument more intense.

"I think Paris is fully qualified for this mission, and as for the prophecy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be deviations. ”

"The decision of the gods is also something you can question? ”

"How can the prophecy of Helenos represent the will of the gods? ”

"If the prophecy comes true, Troy will face the scourge of destruction, and it is not to be careless. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everyone was arguing fiercely over this prophecy, and some were even red-faced and almost eager to do it.

King Priam had no choice but to stand up from the marble throne, wave his hand, soothe everyone's emotions, and calm everyone down: "In this case, then convene a citizens' assembly." Leave this decision to all the citizens of Troy. ”

Contrary to what many people think, in Greece and Asia Minor, the king could not decide on such a thing as war alone, but only by the assembly of all citizens.

This is different from Da Xu, the war of Da Xu, the strong emperor can decide alone, at most he can communicate with the ministers.

Although what we have just discussed is whether Paris can send an envoy to Greece, but in the final analysis, it is Paris who can send an envoy to Greece and the war that may be triggered.

Both the king and the young men of Troy supported a war of revenge against Greece, but it was carried out in a planned and step-by-step manner, and it was not a brainless pig.

Paris's mission to Greece is likely to trigger a war with Greece in advance, which will disrupt the rhythm of Troy's revenge war, making Troy unprepared and passive.

These can only be resolved at the citizens' assembly.

At that moment, the king ordered the bell-ringers to ring the large bell hanging on the highest part of the palace, which could resound throughout the city and quickly convey some important information.

This time, the citizens of the whole city were summoned to the Troy Square for a rally, and the bell ringers rang the bell, and the citizens of the Troy City would quickly rush to the square to participate in the rally.

The people in the palace left the palace one after another and went to the square to attend the citizens' assembly, and after everyone left, King Priam left Paris alone, and said with some reproach: "Paris, you are the most suitable person, why don't you go?"

"Father, I have just married Onogne, and I want to stay in the city for a while, and if I go to Greece, it will take at least a year, and it will be too long, and I will not see my new wife, Onogne, for at least a year. Pei Ziyun couldn't answer his father in an official way this time, but he answered in a warm way.

This is also a reasonable reason, King Priam couldn't help but be speechless, and it was indeed a little unkind to let Paris, who had been married for less than a month, go on an envoy, but he really didn't have a suitable son to use to envoy to Greece except Paris.

Ifubos was the right man, but his performance in the last battle to exterminate the Kraken was too disappointing, and Greece had to deal with a complicated situation, and he did not dare to give him this task.

As for the other princes, Hertor was not suitable to go to Greece as heir, and the others were either too small and not able to be entrusted with important tasks, or they were priests, prophets and other special professions, which were not suitable for diplomatic missions at all.

Paris was the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately there were too many accidents, and we could only look at the results of the citizens' assembly, and the king couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling that there were too few people available.

But he heard Paris whisper, "Of course, although I am not willing to leave Onone, if the Citizens' Assembly decides that I will go, I will be a member of the city-state, and I will not look back." ”

But in this case, if you would rather know that there is this myth and insist that I go, the responsibility is not mine.

When the king heard this, he did not know what he was saying, and he was a little relieved.

His son, Paris, is still quite knowledgeable.
