Episode 27 Chapter 2
"Your Highness, you're right."
Zichuan Shenxing looked at the front level and said lightly: "The governors and governors of the northeastern provinces were appointed too hastily and a little out of order, and now they have to be adjusted." The governors and governors of the five provinces, such as Bit, Ankara, Dama, Uqi, and Battli, should be replaced, and they should be transferred back to the imperial capital. Luo Minghai, you think about it, see what capable officers and civilian officials are, and send them over to rotate. β
Luo Minghai said solemnly: "Obey." β
Hearing Zichuan Shenxing speak, all the commanders were all happy. The provinces in the northeast were the first provinces to be recovered by the Far Eastern Army from the demons, and the governors and governors were appointed by the Far Eastern commander Zichuan Xiu during the war. Later, after the victory, because of the sensitive relationship between the family and the Far East, the family has not moved the personnel of these provinces. Now Zichuan Shenxing has pulled out all the cronies that Zichuan Xiu planted in the interior of the family in one go, which shows his resolute determination.
While sending congratulatory letters, rebuilding the Valen Fortress, and changing personnel, the commander-in-chief's combination punch was dazzling, and everyone vaguely felt that it would be possible, but it was difficult to figure it out, so they all frowned and did not speak.
Zichuan Shenxing stood up and signaled that the meeting was over: "That's it, the inspector general is right, the family should be calm about this matter, we can't panic, we can't mess up our hands and feet first." Lin He took the kingdom - hmph, the kingdom is vast, the people are fierce, he wants to pacify the kingdom, it is not an easy task, the invasion of brute beasts alone is enough to give him a headache. We don't have to worry too much, just take the necessary precautions. β
The commanders followed and replied, "Your Highness is wise! β
"Go back, all of you! A-Ning, you stay, I have something to tell someone. β
Looking at the backs of the commanders gradually disappearing at the door of the garden, Zi Chuanning withdrew his gaze and looked at his uncle intently: "Uncle, do you have something to tell me?" β
"Hmm." Zichuan Shenxing gasped heavily: "There were a lot of people just now, I don't want to ask: he is the emperor in the Far East, what do you think?" β
"Huh!?"
Zichuan Shenxing frowned and shook his head impatiently. He asked more directly: "What I'm saying is, do you still want to wait for him?" β
I didn't expect my uncle to ask such a question, even though he was a politician who had already been trained, Zi Chuanning blushed all of a sudden, and said softly: "Uncle! What are you talking about? Family.. Family... Where is it. Family.. β
Her voice is getting smaller and smaller, what is the "other", even if Zichuan Shenxing desperately up his ears, he can't hear it - but he doesn't have to hear it clearly, looking at his niece's shy and embarrassed expression, she can guess without listening.
What kind of impact will this relationship, which was born before the Far Eastern Empire and the Zichuan family in power, have? Is this harmful or beneficial to the future of the family? Zichuan Shenxing looked at the brightly lit garden in bewilderment, and countless lanterns flickered among the flowers. After a long time, he shook his head lightly and sighed, and his sigh contained lofty and melancholy: even if he was full of scheming, this kind of luck was really incomprehensible!
Since he couldn't guess it, Zichuan Shenxing also threw it away: "A-Ning, Sterling and Luo Minghai are back, I see, what we discussed a while ago...... You're going to get ready. β
Zi Chuan Ning was surprised. Although Zichuan Shenxing did not say what it was, both of them tacitly knew about it.
"There was such a big thing in the Far East, that thing...... Do you still have to do it? Why don't you wait and see how the situation develops? β
Zi Chuanning said that subconsciously, she was still quite resistant to killing a major general.
"Silly girl!" Zichuan Shenxing smiled: "It's at this time that it's easy to act!" Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was attracted to the independence of the Far East, no one could have imagined it, and besides, Zichuan Xiu had just become emperor and was too busy to take care of himself, at this time he was about to repair the relationship with his family, and we did it at this time, so he couldn't interfere. Moreover, Luo Minghai really can't do big things, he almost leaked his mouth just now. This matter cannot be delayed any longer. β
"Yes, I understand, uncle" Zi Chuanning hesitated for a moment and asked, "But the president leads over there...... Will there be a problem? How is he going to act? β
Zichuan Shenxing lowered his eyes: "A-Ning, you don't have to worry about the matter over there, it's better for you not to have anything to do with this matter." When this is done, I will apply to the Senate for abdication. I hope you can take my place cleanly with both hands. β
Zi Chuanning shouted loudly; "Uncle, how are you?"
"It's not surprising, your uncle is so old, he really can't hold it up to sitting in this position again. Now, I've been dozing off for more than half an hour, and the last time Gossan came to talk to me, I actually fell asleep. Zichuan Shenxing smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you don't leave now, and if you make a big mistake in the future and be ousted again, it will be very shameless." β
Zi Chuan Ning said eagerly: "Uncle, I really don't know what to do when you're away!" β
Zichuan Shenxing smiled faintly: "Aning, you are very good." With a little confidence, you're much better than you thought you were. I am relieved that you will be a good chief if you take this position. β
Looking at the old man in front of him, Zi Chuanning's heart swelled with an indescribable taste. The old man in front of him took over his father's burden at the age of 47 and became the head of the family, and it has been thirteen years now. During his tenure, the family rose and fell in a reincarnation, experienced Yang Minghua's rebellion, the fiasco of losing the Far East, the war with the Liufeng family, and the disaster of the demon invasion, but in the end it still stood tall. Among the elders of the family history, Zichuan Sanxing is not the kind of wise and martial leader, but he has a will as firm as a rock, and no matter what kind of difficult and desperate situation he faces, he will never give in.
Although when he was a child, he often told his jokes behind his back, laughed at his stupidity, and laughed at his clumsiness, but it was under the cover of his wings that he was able to spend his girlhood full of fantasy and longing without worry. He took care of himself with care and protected himself wholeheartedly. He is not the best head of the family, but he is a respectable elder. After his father left, he was the only person in the world who took care of himself with sincerity and no purpose.
Squinting his eyes, Zichuan Shenxing looked at the birds flying in the forest, and said softly: "To be honest, I also feel sorry for getting rid of him!" This man, his talent is above Sterling. It's a pity that this person's heart is not right, he went the wrong way! If I don't get rid of him for you, I will never be able to leave with peace of mind. A-Ning, in the future, when you appoint and appoint talents, you may not be able to make your uncle's mistakes again, and you have to distinguish between loyalty and treachery! β
The scorching heat of the day was coming to an end, the sun was setting, and the woods, meadows, lakes, and bare glades were shrouded in a solemn red glow, and the low beekeeper-inn-inn huts on the roadside dotted the edge of the trees, which looked particularly shady in the green shade of the trees.
Although it was autumn, the sun was still very dry, and there was not much farm work to do in the fields, so the beekeeper, the innkeeper, and a few people from the village sat in the shade of the trees at the door.
"It's been a good day lately!" Taking a heavy puff of the cigarette rolled from earthen tobacco, the innkeeper narrowed his eyes and stared at the dusty avenue: "The taxes are getting heavier and heavier, and you often have to smoke in wars. I heard that Lord Montaigne has ordered that after the autumn harvest, all our strong men must be assembled to answer the order. β
His words caused the peasants to squeak and resonate.
The swarthy little demon peasant shouted, "You have to serve again? It's been two times this spring, and twice more in the summerβand now it's not the end of autumn. Do you have to go to war? β
"Yes! There is a law in the kingdom that says that a lord can only call two officers a year, but Lord Montaigne has summoned five times! β
"If our husband was still alive, he wouldn't have done this! It's a pity that the old man died too early! β
"I heard that the old man was killed by those people in the Holy Land?"
"Shh~~ You don't want to die? Dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing! β
"But everyone said that the old man was killed by Mengya and them...
"I heard that last month, our Lord Montaigne lost a battle and was severely beaten by Master Mengqing."
We are very fierce, and he will not stop like this! He's going to summon us to fight again.
"A few masters are fighting, fighting back and forth, and the unlucky ones are all us. Last month, the melon seedlings in Kutang Village were killed, and even the corpses were confiscated. β
"In these years, there are wars everywhere, and there is no stable life! I've had no business in this inn for a long time...... I haven't even seen the delivery man for a long time, and if it goes on like this, I will have to close the store. The innkeeper sighed: "When will such a chaotic day be a head!" β
His words resonated with the peasants, who were all sighing, "Yes! It's still good when His Majesty was alive, it should only be enough to travel once a year! β
"You only have to pay 30% of the tax - unlike now, you have to pay 70% of the tax! For the rest, we don't even have enough porridge to drink! β
"Like Montaigne and Master Mengqing, they love to fight indiscriminately, if Your Majesty is alive, I will have to teach them a good lesson!"
"I heard that His Majesty left a daughter, and she became the new emperor?"
"When a woman is an emperor, how can it be done! No wonder she couldn't control Montaigne anymore. β
"If you want to be in charge of the country, you have to be a man! He's got to have a tiger! β
Everyone was discussing, and suddenly there was a regular "ticking" sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the innkeeper heard it at once, and frowned with joy: "There is a passerby!" After waiting for a long time, I finally have a guest! I'm ready to open and do business! Hurry up, you bunnies, get out of the way, don't get in the way! β
At the end of the sun-burned avenue, dust rose from the sky, and the figures of the two cavalrymen gradually emerged in the yellow smoke. The peasants watched one after another, whispering and guessing the identity of the comer:
"Boss, it looks like a soldier!"
"Look at the strength of their running, it must be soldiers! I just don't know which clan it's a soldier? β
"Boss! Look, they have little flags on their backs! It's a herald! Could it be that Lord Montaigne is going to summon people? β
The two horsemen galloped towards them like a gust of wind, getting closer and closer, when suddenly, the short peasant with the best eyesight cried out: "They are carrying little golden flags!" Golden! It's the Imperial Flag! β
"They're royal envoys!"
"It's the person sent by the Demon God Castle, and it's His Majesty's messenger!"
Whew, ignoring the still blazing sunset, the people who were hiding under the eaves to enjoy the shade rushed out in one breath, standing on the side of the road and looking at the two imperial flag messengers who were getting closer and closer, looking excited. I shouted and shouted, I was really lucky to see the royal envoy with my own eyes, it was enough to go home and boast to my neighbors for a whole year.
The innkeeper was a well-informed manβat least in the village, he had been in the army, and had served as a captain in the army. When everyone was excited, he suddenly remembered what he had seen and heard in the army. Remember the rumors that there was a prescribed etiquette when seeing the royal envoy, as if to bow to greet the envoy? Or kneeling? Do you want to kowtow? Oops, I didn't remember it clearly at the time - but I can't blame myself, the Demon God Castle has not sent a Xuanfu envoy for a full thirty years, and everyone's etiquette for meeting the Xuanfu envoy only exists in a vague memory.
"Quick, guys, get down on your knees!" The boss hurriedly shouted: "Can't let people laugh at our village for not knowing etiquette, and when you see the royal messenger, you have to kneel down to see it!" Hurry up~ Ergouzi, what are you still doing standing stupidly, kneel down! β
Urged by the boss to kick and kick him so much, the villagers who were in excitement hurriedly knelt in a mess.
The two horsemen had already galloped over, stopped in front of the inn, and looked down on the crowd from a high position. The skin of the two cavalrymen was tanned and cracked by the sun, their lips were pursed, and their expressions were serious, but their eyes were shining with fierce light, and they looked fierce and abnormal. Behind them was a small golden eagle flag, which was waving in the wind over their shoulders and making the sound of hunting.
The owner of the inn knelt down on behalf of everyone and stepped forward to say hello: "The grass people of Xijia Grassland Nail River Village meet the angel!" It is the glory of this village for the angels to come here, so please take a break and eat at this restaurant. β
Looking at the boss silently, and then at the villagers who were kneeling on the ground, the two cavalrymen exchanged glances.
A cavalryman asked, "Is this the village of Nail River?" His voice was hoarse and deep, but penetrating, and the walls buzzed.
"Back to the angel, this is the Nail River."
"Where is the village chief? To which you belong to? β
"Returning to the angels, the grass people are the village chiefs of this village, and we are the Mongolian tribes, all of which are under the control of Master Montaigne."
Hearing this reply, the two horsemen looked at each other, and the other horseman muttered, "Montaigne's men." β
"Village chief, prepare forage for our horses and fill our kettles with water! Bring us something to eat, and ask for dry food! We have the Emperor's Command! Fast! The cavalryman snorted hoarsely, and his voice was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it shook everyone's eardrums.
The innkeeper hurriedly got up, hurriedly prepared the best forage and food, and tied it to the saddle of the cavalry. In the process, the two cavalrymen did not dismount at all. The boss himself didn't know why he was so obedient, and he didn't even ask the other party for money. The Imperial Banner Messenger has a kind of coercion and courage that is like substance, and that awe-inspiring privilege momentum makes him unable to resist at all.
After preparing the food and forage, he asked tremblingly, "Why do the grass people dare to ask the angel coming?" β
"We're here to preach the Divine Decree!" The two cavalrymen drew out the small golden flag behind them at the same time, and waved it in the air, their movements were uniform, and the flying eagle with wings spread was scorching and shining in the setting sun.
The two cavalrymen shouted in unison, and a loud voice resounded through the woods and fields: "His Majesty the old emperor Cardin has abdicated, and the new emperor His Majesty Lin He has ascended the throne!" From now on, the kingdom will be named after the light! Long live our Emperor, Semuhelim! β
"Semuhelim!" The boss led the villagers to shout unevenly. He asked tremblingly, "The grass people dare to ask the angels, what clan does His Majesty Lin He come from?" Who will be the new Golden Family? β
"The new emperor is from the Blood-Eyed Clan! The Blood-Eyed Clan will be the new Golden Clan! β
After speaking, the two cavalrymen whipped their horses, the war horses neighed, and galloped like the wind, and in an instant they disappeared into the dusty avenue, leaving only the demon peasant who knelt on the ground and choked on the dust and coughed. Looking in the direction in which the cavalry had disappeared, the innkeeper slowly stood up, patting the dust on his knees, his eyes full of doubt.
He turned around and looked at the villagers, "Hey, who of you knows about the Blood-Eyed Clan?" And our new Majesty, Your Majesty Lin He, who knows who he is? β
In response to him were faces that were equally ignorant and confused.
Someone sighed: "It's good for everyone, we finally have a new emperor!" I hope he can end such unfortunate days soon, and may my emperor live a long life! β
The village chief and the villagers of Nail River Village would not know that the scene that had just happened in front of them was playing out at the same time in almost every corner of the land in all directions of the kingdom. Just a week ago, on that bright red dawn, thousands of cavalrymen carrying the small banner of the golden lion set out from Vahnstadt, and the banner behind them indicated that their identity was a messenger affiliated with the Demon God Emperor, which was the greatest guarantee of their personal safety. Kingdom customs, even warring tribes do not harm the messengers of the central power. With this banner, they were able to pass through the most savage tribes, the most brutal battlefields, and the most remote wilderness safely, not only were they unharmed, but as long as there were demon subjects living in the place, they could be entertained, and they could receive food, forage, and help. They will travel through the kingdom's large and small cities, remote towns, vast grasslands, blazing deserts and rushing rivers, and their traces will travel through every inch of the kingdom's vast mountains and rivers, announcing the will from the center of the kingdom to millions of demon subjects, and their loud voices will resound in every inch of the kingdom's mountains and rivers:
"His Majesty Emperor Cardin has abdicated, and His Majesty Lin He has ascended the throne!"
"The name of the year has been changed, and the light is the number!"
"The Kuroshio Tide has appeared, and the kingdom is in danger! Your Majesty has an order, and the tribes and tribes of all sizes are immediately organized to be strong, and the soldiers are protected to defend the kingdom together! β
"Those who dare to disobey orders and dare to delay will be exterminated!"
The Flying Horse Legend is a tradition when the new king of the kingdom ascends the throne, and it is also the most urgent means for the Demon God Castle to summon the kings of all clans in the event of a major crisis in the kingdom. After receiving the flying horse rumor, even the warring tribes must immediately cease fighting and join forces to rescue the Demon God Castle.
After ascending the throne on Vahnstad on September 15, Shikawa did not evacuate with Sterling as originally planned. Cardin led the Senea tribe to surrender suddenly, which was certainly a good thing, but it also disrupted Shikawa Xiu's plans. Previously, Shikawa Xiu only planned to enter the kingdom as an occupying army, burn and kill and leave. But now, as the Demon God Emperor, he has become the master of the kingdom, and the original withdrawal plan is obviously not suitable. The High Command of the Far Eastern Army had to reformulate its strategy.
Shikawa gathered his subordinates, including the demon patriarch who had returned to him, to brainstorm. The military meeting lasted for a whole day, and the patriarchs generally believed that the current military situation with the barbarians was not as severe as imagined, and there were no overwhelming barbarians, and now there were only some stragglers. Goon and Thunder suffered heavy losses, but much of that was due to the carelessness of the two forces. Even Lei Leopard admits that if he does it again, as long as he is prepared, that kind of fiasco is unlikely to be repeated.
Lin Bing Baichuan and other family officers believed that the Demon God Fort was the largest and strongest fortress in the eastern part of the kingdom, and the Far Eastern Army's occupation of the Demon God Fort had extremely important military and political significance. The Demon God Castle is at stake, and the entire kingdom is at peace, and now that the Senea have surrendered, if humans don't take the opportunity to control this fortress at their fingertips, they will miss a great opportunity.
Cardin even spoke out in it, saying that resisting barbarism was the glorious mission entrusted to the Protoss by the Great Demon God, and called on all the patriarchs to work together to resist the barbarian invasion of the kingdom and defend the eastern kingdom.
All kinds of opinions were summarized in front of Zi Chuan Xiu, and the Bright Emperor finally made a decision: "Half of the kingdom's army has gathered in Vahnstad, and we will fight the barbarians, so that we can know their truth and truth!" Give the order, and the army will immediately march to the Demon God Castle"
To be honest, Zichuan Xiu didn't meet a person named "Great Demon God" who entrusted him with any "glorious mission", and the Bright Emperor was also not interested in the important task of protecting the Eastern Kingdom, and the only motive for entering the Demon God Fort was: What are you kidding? Senea promised me their treasury and royal treasury when he surrendered, and these are still in the Demon God Castle! Wouldn't it be wrongful for us to come all the way to come all the way and go back without making a profit?
