The life that his wife said was not without consideration. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBefore receiving the news that the Emperor intended to depose Empress Rosalind, Merandil did have thoughts of leaving Gondor. Although he was not resentful that the fate of the whole family was indirectly decided by a maid, out of the idea of not wanting to cause chaos for the human race, he still planned to take the initiative to leave after the future human emperor had successfully settled the state affairs of Gondor.

Gondor originally belonged to the Human Emperor, and as a temporary guardian, he would have to return it to the Human Emperor sooner or later, so why bother to have any disputes with the future Human Emperor for the sake of guardianship, and indirectly add trouble to his own race. With this idea, Merandil tried her best to suppress her inner resentment, but she also fell into deep self-blame because of her family's care.

Let his wife, who has always grown up in the privileged life of the aristocracy, and his sons who were born in the royal family, be displaced because of themselves, Merandil is very unbearable. He chose not to let his family find out about his anxiety until he made a final decision. This uneasiness, of course, comes from not being able to decide one's own fate, and from the reluctance to give up on the people of Gondor. However, the future Emperor did not let Merandil tangle for too long, and it was not long before the news of the Emperor's intention to depose Rosalind reached Melandiel's ears.

Obedience and concession may not be exchanged for gratitude, but may also make people gain an inch! After breaking a few glassworks in the room that had locked him up, Merandil hurried to the woodland kingdom. After returning, he followed the instructions of the elven king and began to "secretly" mourn Essidor to win people's hearts, and intentionally or unintentionally showed a trembling posture in front of people in order to win more sympathy. Unexpectedly, the play sang too well, not only did he go around it, but he also infected his family. Although Merandil was moved by his wife's words and deeds, he could only shake his head guiltily.

"I can't leave here. Once he left, he never had a chance to keep his aunt's mourning. Will you help me defend my aunt's deserved glory?" Melandil hugged his wife tightly and said in a firm tone, "I need to rebel against the Emperor." ”

"Since I was a child, my parents have told me that any living creature in this world will do wrong things, which means that the emperor will also do wrong things. Resist what the Emperor has done wrong, don't say I'm your wife, even a commoner should be like this. Thinking of the cause of Essidor's death, Queen Gondor said with regret: "If my aunt is still here, she will definitely be able to persuade my uncle to destroy the Ring, and it will not cause the human race to suffer such a change......

Valandil is the only blood left in Middle-earth by the respected elder, and I have to rebel against him for the sake of another elder, what is the matter! Shocked by a variety of complex emotions such as self-blame, shame, and determination, Merandil finally led his wife to the Holy White Tree in the city of Rice. Beneath the foliage of this miraculous descendant of Ninroth, preserved by Essidor (see the text of this chapter for commentary), Merandil and his wife confess their imminent sin. At the same time, he also expressed to Essidó, the keeper of the Holy White Tree, his determination to resist any injustice committed by his son and to fear any punishment. After doing all this, Merendil told his wife everything. This includes joining forces with the Elven King, and the actions that must be made in the future.

"In other words, in order to win the hearts of the people, the children and I had better act like you with the same trembling as you?" After a brief moment of consternation, Queen Gondor nodded firmly. "I know what to do. From now on, everyone will see how frightened the king's whole family is under the coercion of the emperor. ”

She didn't just say it, she did it. It can be said that half of the credit for Merandiel's victory over the hearts of the people of Gondor should be attributed to his wife. In the past six years, his wife has given up the life that a queen should enjoy, and in addition to doing everything herself, she does not dare to punish even the attendants for doing wrong. Even several of Merandiel's children became cautious under their mother's influence. When the queen and the prince no longer accepted any royal treatment, ate simple vegetarian meals all day, even patched their robes, and did not even dare to receive the education that the royal family deserved, but lingered in the artisan shops of the commoners' residences to learn the arts, the officials could not stand it. All the Gondor officials sent a joint request to Merandil that the queen and the princes must be allowed to live as they should. This request, of course, was rejected by Queen Gondor.

"It is a gift from the Emperor of Man that we live in the palace for the time being. However, it is only temporary. The whole Gondor, who doesn't know that the next Emperor will invite us out after he succeeds to the throne?" Queen Gondor, who was invited to the council hall, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said to the officials in a begging manner: "I have always let the children live a hard life, and even let them learn the livelihood skills that only civilians need to master, just because I am afraid that the children who are used to living a luxurious life will not survive under the orders of the future Emperor." The emperors all said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. Rather than let them suffer when the time comes, it is better not to give them royal treatment in the first place. Am I doing something wrong?"

These words made these old ministers almost cry. Of course, no one dared to say at that time that "it is not you who is wrong, but the future human emperor". After hearing this, everyone could only silently accuse the future emperor of being too ruthless in their hearts, and at the same time tilt the balance of psychology towards Merandiel.

If the actions of Merendiel's family in the past six years have made the Gondor people privately feel sorry for them, then Melendiel's move to the slums with the whole family has caused many Gondor people to turn their complaints into action. To the officials who came over from Arnoor, the commoners of Gondor dared to show an unfriendly gesture, and when it came to the future human emperor, the commoners of Gondor also shook their heads. In the eyes of the common people, the future human emperor can make all the Melandil who is related to him by blood like this, let alone himself who has no status?

That's right, after a secret meeting with the Elven King for the second time, Merandil deliberately moved out of the palace with his family in front of Arnoel officials after their return. When they left the palace, they didn't even have many belongings, each carrying a small package. Even Queen Gondor, who was pregnant with Rokka, carried a package in one hand and a wooden basin with several notches in the edges in the other. In Merendiel's words: "In two years, it will be the time for the Emperor to succeed to the throne, and there is no need for the Emperor to worry about the affairs of resettling us, and there is no need to cause trouble for the officials who handle these affairs." With the gift of the future emperor, the whole family can live here for six years. It's not where I should live, and my heart is always unsteady. I don't have the ability to repay the favor, so I can only use the way of moving away to express my absolute obedience to any orders of the emperor. ”
