On the other hand, Melandiel submitted to the aggressive emperor and never said a word of resentment; On the other hand, he takes care of it with all his heart, even regardless of the gains and losses of himself and his family. Whether www.biquge.info it is an official or a commoner, there is no way not to fall in love with such a king, and there is no way not to take the initiative to fight for the justice he deserves. The Gondor officials, who had reached a consensus in private, also knew that their rebellion against the Emperor would make Merandil, who was in the middle of the two sides, even more painful. But they also know that long pain is better than short pain.

"Your Majesty will never rebel against the Emperor of Man. Even if the Emperor of Man asked him to die, he would thank him for his kindness. Therefore, we must be a sharp blade and completely cut off the connection between the human emperor and His Majesty. ”

All officials agree with this statement. Not only did they refuse to accept the Emperor's order to take over power, but they also contacted the nobles of Gondor to find out what they meant. The noble patriarch at that time, Goldfrie, thought about it for more than ten days, and after sending a side branch to visit Helana, who was far away in Arnoor, he took the initiative to call the highest official of Gondor over.

"We dare not and do not have the strength to oppose public opinion. As long as it is the will of the people, we obey it. Placing his hand on the patched position of his robe, which was well maintained by the delicate appearance of a nobleman, Goldfrie let out a long sigh. Thinking that Helana didn't care about everything, and bluntly said that sooner or later he would accept the worship of the entire realm of Gondor as the previous human queen, he who had always been heavy lowered his head slightly and said in a very soft voice: "The country needs mature and sophisticated guardians. ”

Even the nobles were relieved, and it didn't seem to be much of a problem for Gondor to become independent. But now? Do you want to watch as Melandil condemns herself, and watch the Emperor punish the most suitable person to become the guardian of Gondor with a law that cannot be reported back to all of Middle-earth?

The Gondor officials panicked and turned their begging eyes to Merandier. They begged Merandil to defy the norm of loyalty and plead guilty. As long as Merandil does not plead guilty, they can take the initiative to take all the charges and have the emperor deal with all the participants according to the law. And when the law is responsible, it can provoke the people to revolt. Those who waited outside the palace, ready people, had the motivation to act. Unfortunately, they were disappointed.

Merandiel's loyalty was as strong as ever. Even when he saw his family members being brought in surrounded by soldiers, King Gondor began to count his crimes with tears in his eyes. He attributed all his faults to his own management failures, and resisted all the charges and begged the emperor to forgive others. This statement not only made the Gondor people present make up their minds to protect the King of Gondor in their emotion, but also quite in line with Valandiel's heart.

The Emperor of the People, who didn't pay any attention to the Gondor officials at all, sneered and replied, "First settle these crimes that you confessed. Merandiel, you have been king for eight years, and you should know our laws very well. For your sake, I give you a reward - to judge yourself. What kind of punishment do you think you deserve for the crimes you just mentioned? ”

It was not Merandil who answered the Emperor, but the officials of Gondor who rushed towards the Emperor. Although the people who shouted "Merandiel is not guilty" and "Gondor is not guilty" were immediately stopped by their own personal soldiers a few steps away, and several of the most excited people were still controlled by the soldiers, the anger of the human emperor burned even more.

"Merandiel, is this the Gondor you've managed for me for eight years?" The human emperor with an angry face stood up suddenly, pointed at Merandiel's nose and scolded: "Even officials dare to behave so disrespectfully to the human emperor, you are really good at managing it!" You can't take your sins by the law on your own. I decree in my capacity as the Emperor of the People that whatever your conviction may be, your family will be condemned together. ”

After confirming with the captain of the guard that the two thousand Arnoel soldiers stationed in Micheng had temporarily controlled the entire royal city, Varandil sat down with a sneer and stretched out his hand to summon several officials accompanying him.

"Prepare the letter on the spot. Make a note of what King Gondor just said. The punishment that follows the charge is empty first. Taking out the Emperor's badge and handing it to the officials so that they could stamp the guilt letter, Valandil glared at Merandil with his eyes closed and said, "The punishment is still up to you." For the sake of us all descendants of Elendir, I give you this dignity! ”

Varendil thinks that everything that happens after this is going very well. While secretly proud of having King Gondor convict himself, he even began to praise Merandil for his impartiality in his own condemnation. If it weren't for King Gondor to confess his crimes, and the other party selflessly raised what happened in Gondor in the past few months to the level of "incompetent management led to the rebellion of the officials and the people against the emperor", Valandil didn't think he would be able to get rid of King Gondor and his family smoothly.

He had guarded Gondor for eight years, and was also a grandson of Elendil, and the closest person to whom I was currently related in Middle-earth. On the way into the city, Valandil reminded himself to be cautious, and it was best not to make a bad first impression on the Gondor people, so he patiently led the conversation to asking Melandil to convict himself. Now that the charges have been confessed by the people involved, and the crime of "rebelling against the Emperor" is punished in the law along with his relatives, then Melandiel's departure from the human kingdom with his family is about to become a foregone conclusion?

The Emperor of Men had no intention of killing Merandiel's entire family. Although he was furious that Gondor had ignored his orders, and believed that the newly-emperors had to punish those who violated the orders in order to establish his prestige, Valendil did not feel that the Merandil family had to die. For the sake of the same grandfather, the Emperor gave King Gondor a chance. He hoped that King Gondor would take this opportunity to intercede for himself and change the sentence of "death" to expulsion. After all, what the emperor wants is the unity of the royal family, and the real power of Gondor, not to kill his relatives.

As for whether Merandil will exonerate himself and set a relatively light punishment, Valendil is not particularly worried. Anyway, the purpose is only to expel him, even if the King of Gondor is strict and impartial, the officials of Gondor will intercede for him, right? At that time, I can also take advantage of the situation to propose a deal, so that Merandil can be king for a few more days, and by the way, the issue of the identity of the biological mother will be solved.

The Emperor of Man, who thought that everything was under control, calmed down and waited patiently for Merandil to make a decision. He didn't know that in this short process, the only trace of respect that Merendil and the Gondor had for the Human Emperor had been exhausted. Before Merendil could say anything about his crime, several Gondor officials had already made eye contact. They nodded at the gate, and when they saw that one of the attendants guarding the gate had left in a hurry, they stopped struggling.
