482. Calm your mind
The Elven King hurriedly bowed to the Boat King, and said solemnly, "I have already prepared your concerns in advance - all the correspondence between Merandil and me has been properly kept in the woodland. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info If Merendil dares to be disrespectful to the people, I will publish the letter. ”
If it weren't for the fact that the truth was so different from what he saw, how could a few fluttering letters restrain King Gondor?
It seems that the letter written by King Gondor himself can be found in all the behind-the-scenes truths related to Gondor's transformation. Merandiel's act of gaining the hearts and minds of the people, then, was not sincere, at least at first. In other words, once the letter is published, Merandil will definitely be spurned by the people for his initial disobedience, and will have an end of self-isolation from the people.
A king who is put on the throne by the people is spurned by the people, then he will not only lose everything, but will also be liquidated by the people. Not to mention Merandiel, all the powerful people in Yiya can't afford to bear such consequences.
Although Thranduil's words made Serdan's unsubstantiated assumptions more reassuring, the Ship King did not intend to care about Merandil's original intentions.
It doesn't matter what the king wants, what matters is whether what the king does really benefits the people. Like Thranduil, all of Middle-earth knew he had a bad temper. However, this shortcoming of his did not arouse the disgust of the woodland elves, nor was he criticized by any leader. Because Thranduil's bad temper is an important factor in the woodland elves' courtesy - no creature is willing to risk offending the elven king by not acting courteously to the woodland elves. Whether or not what Merendil does to the people is sincere or not will not affect the benefits of the people. Merendiel is certainly more worthy of admiration than a leader who pays lip service to the people all day long and does nothing substantial.
Will Merandiel, grandson of Elendil and son of Anarien, continue to respect the people after gaining power in Gondor? With the letter in the Elven King's hand, Serdan was no longer worried.
After not seeing each other for ten years, this kid actually has the demeanor of Gilgalad and Orifer. Not only did I think of the afterword in advance, but I also kept a hand!
Reining in his deliberate suppression, Serdan carefully examined the blonde elf in front of him. Looking at the king who could only be described as green in his eyes, and seeing the vertical lines looming between the other party's eyebrows, Sedan finally swallowed all the words of praise into his throat.
In the end, he is only a two-hundred-year-old elf, and the situation that is too smooth and the praise will only make his pride develop in the direction of getting carried away. Compared to praise, Thranduil now needs the most appropriate beating. So that Valandil's plea for help should also be satisfied?
The ship king, who was thinking again, did not dare to look at the elf king again, for fear that his heart, which had finally hardened, would soften again. He deliberately turned his back to the Elven King and ordered, "Keep an eye on Merandil's movements, don't let go, and don't be tied up by personal relationships." ”
"You can rest assured. Knowing that the ship king would no longer have any doubts about Gondor's affairs, Thranduil not only readily agreed, but also replied solemnly: "The matter of Gondor is caused by me, and I will naturally be fully responsible for the people of Gondor. Throughout his life, Merandiel will respect the people and will serve as a teacher for his descendants. ”
I can't fault what this kid did, but his way of counting all living beings really doesn't make me feel good!
"Go ahead. Remember, no celebrations are allowed. ”
Throwing a cold back to the Elven King, Sedan, who was on a mission with Uom, picked up the wooden parts and fell into a trade-off. The ship king, who knew that the elves owed the human emperor in the matter of Gondor, thought that during the period of time he weighed, the elven king would reduce his sense of existence under the requirements of the "three prohibitions", at least so that the human emperor who was also in the war zone could not feel his existence for the time being. But the truth is that Thranduil complied with the "three prohibitions" requirements, but the King of the Lonely Mountain was preparing to celebrate his birthday with great fanfare, which looked like Thrandil's victory celebration on the birthday of the King of the Lonely Mountain.
Standing on the terrace of the palace and looking at the cart of congratulatory gifts brought by Gondor, and seeing the fireworks that will be used in the birthday celebration from time to time when caravans are delivered, and then looking around at the dwarven soldiers who are busy lighting up the war zone, the ship king pursed his lips and thought for a long time, and once again held back the command to say to the human attendants around him, "Go, the elf king, invite".
The dignified King of Lonely Mountain wanted to celebrate his birthday, and all the dwarven soldiers were involved, and he also alarmed the flowing water of materials for the congratulatory feast, how could King Sedan's find out before the dinner began?
If the Lonely Mountain King's birthday banquet was indeed instructed by Thranduil, there was no way to stop it. Thranduil can be said to be the birthday of the King of the Lonely Mountain, and has nothing to do with himself. Let Thranduil convince King Nader to stop the celebration, and he can say no to it with just one word. This sentence is: Do dwarves listen to the elves to celebrate their birthdays?
That's right. Ever since the dwarves killed King Tinggar, they have maintained a delicate relationship with the elves as if they were enemies but not enemies, and as friends as friends but not friends. When faced with a common enemy, dwarves and elves can put aside their grievances and fight side by side. But when there is no common enemy, the smell of gunpowder is strong between dwarves and elves. Now that the common enemy Sauron is nowhere to be found, it is good for the dwarves to put aside their grievances and contribute to the extermination of the demons, how can they listen to the elves? What's more, the only elf who can affect the King of the Lonely Mountain at the moment is Thranduil, who should be the mastermind behind King Nader's feast.
Let's make sure that this matter is not the instigation of Thrandil, so as not to wronged him.
The ship king tilted his head slightly and explained to Gardo: "Go and inquire about how many birthday dinners King Nader has held in the war zone. ”
Not long after returning to the room, Gardo, who came to return to his life, gave the answer. The envoy of the ship king was quite efficient, and replied in a suppressed voice: "This is the first time that the king of the lonely mountain has celebrated his birthday since he entered the war zone, and it is every ten years old. However, when I asked a few dwarven soldiers, they all said that King Nader did not attach much importance to the celebration of his birthday. ”
It's been more than two years since I've been in the war zone, and I didn't celebrate the first few times I had to celebrate this time, even if it was the tenth birthday, Thranduil should have put a lot of effort behind it. Also, the current elf king is the time when the spring breeze is proud, and if he doesn't find an excuse to celebrate, isn't he afraid that the Arnol army has not left and will not move? Isn't this a disguised urge for Valandil to leave?
But the Human Emperor can't leave now, because the Ship King can't easily promise the Human Emperor.
