"This is definitely not a good thing for House, House is not playing games for this, but Emperor Yan forcibly handed these over to her."

Xiao Di's state is indeed not suitable for this kind of high-intensity work, and the casual and relaxed play should be more suitable for her.

But now, Xiao Di is in a high position, above 10,000 people, and looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact, he has been rolling in the dark quagmire, and it is Emperor Yan who has contributed to all of this.

And Emperor Yan himself stayed out of the matter, so it was no wonder that Xiao Han would have such a big opinion on Emperor Yan.

——

There was a knock on the door.

——

When the knocking stopped, Xiao Han instructed me to open the door with a gesture.

It would be nice to just let someone else in, and let me open the door... Forget it, there aren't many roads.

After opening the door and glancing at the people outside the door, I got out of the way.

Kemp's adjutant May.

It wasn't a surprise that she showed up, as soon as we got into the game, GT told us she was coming.

As for the purpose of coming, she will say it herself anyway.

Xiao Han didn't stand up to greet him, but just sat and talked to May.

"May, it seems like something is pretty important when you come to us so early?"

"Lord Clay, today is the official departure of Xu, Lord Lancelot asked me to explain to you some of the things that I couldn't talk about yesterday."

"What's it all about?"

"Yes—"

"Wait a minute, there should be a gist, you talk about the gist first, I'll pick one of the ones that interests you to explain."

"The point... Actually, there aren't a lot of things, and I don't think you know why Lancelot-sama is confronting Xle in Inawa Castle, so I'm just here to explain why."

"I'm interested in that, you say, I'll listen."

Explain why... There's nothing wrong with listening to it.

Although 80% of it is a lie, even a lie is somewhat useful.

May pulled out a couple of announcements from her clothes and showed them around in front of us.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know about the small rebellion that broke out in Baratheon?"

"Knowing is knowing, what's going on?"

"The initial small-scale rebellion, in fact, can't be called a rebellion at all, it's just that a small number of people were instigated by a third party, and a wave of demonstrations was held, and they only had a little clash with the garrison during the march, and then all these people were arrested, which was not a big deal, but because it was the first time to deal with such a thing, the local garrison detained these people, and reported them to the Central Department to ask for the opinion of the Central Department."

「...」

"The reply from the Central Office is to let these people go, strictly investigate the people who instigated them, and eliminate them all."

"Purge? This... That's not right, is it? Whose order is this?"

"House's order."

"The result? What about the impact of this implementation?"

"More than 300 people were implicated and killed, but this is only the first wave, the second wave, a larger small-scale rebellion, broke out again, this time the rebels directly targeted the lord's mansion, they planned to hijack the lord to control the army, but these people's actions, still unsuccessful, but this time, these rebels were directly executed, also more than 300 people."

I heard about the second wave of things from Lewei, and Xiaohan should have heard about it for the first time.

When she heard this, she rubbed her forehead.

"Who ordered these people to be executed?"

"It's still the order of the house, and this time, the Central Agency has also issued a notice to severely punish the unstable elements related to the rebels, and requires those who know to report it, and those who don't know should also pay more attention to the people around them, and report it in time if they encounter any abnormal situations."

"What is this? Spying on each other? Reporting each other? How could such an order be issued!!"

"Not only that, but as long as the person who is accused, he will definitely be arrested, and after being arrested, for now, no one will be released."

"The Politics of Terror... What the hell is the group of people in the central hall thinking, Baratheon will collapse sooner or later."

"Does Lord Clay really think that such an edict would be issued by Lord House?"

"It's impossible to enforce an ordinance without House's signature, but that's not quite what House would do."

"Now there are voices of discontent, and the resentment of the people is building, and I think you have also noticed that Lord Clay, the person who really gave these orders, and the person who caused all this, was not House, but Xle."

As soon as May's words came out, all of us looked at each other.

These are decrees that I would not even give them.

Although the rebellion is a threat, Baratheon does have a reason to do this, but this reason should be able to tolerate a little favor, these rebellions can be given heavy punishment warnings, now is the age of civilization, the execution of so many people at once will more or less affect the entire country, and there is no reason at all, but no one will be convinced.

As for whether May will lie, I don't think she can have any lies in these things.

But if this is true, the crisis facing Baratheon now will be much more severe than we think.

Internal and external troubles in internal and external troubles.

Xiao Han tapped his fingers on the table a few times.

"Is there any evidence for this possibility?"

"The garrison's report must have been conveyed to House through Xle, and if he is willing, it is most likely that House will be induced to issue such an order that does not conform to the current situation, I think you agree with this, Lord Clay, right?"

"That's right, Xle's position is the commander-in-chief of operations, theoretically he controls all the armies, if the garrison's report is distorted, it must also be caused by Xle, which is easier to understand, but these are not enough for Emperor Yan to make such a big move in Daohua City, right?"

"Lord Clay, do you think there's another solution?"

"If Emperor Yan feels that Xle has a problem, it can be solved through political means."

"What does Master Clay think is the worst possible right now?"

"Worst likely?"

"Sir-Clay, assuming that Baratheon's forces now have taken control of all institutions, do you really think that political means can solve any problems?"

"I don't think the House can be hollowed out so easily, and Baratheon's political system isn't so fragile."
