Episode 29 Chapter 1
786, January 7, River Hill.
The sky is blue, and the warm breeze blows in the air, filled with ocean moisture.
It's been another morning. Shirakawa opened the window facing the forest, and the fresh air with the scent of trees poured in, and the morning sun shone on his face, warm. Birds with long colored feathers chirped and flew past her window, and Shirakawa stretched out his arms comfortably, as if his whole body melted into the morning light. Compared with the cold winter of the Far East, the days in the river hills are too comfortable.
There were two clear and polite knocks at the door, a pause, then two more.
"Please come in."
Someone pushed open the door, Shirakawa didn't look back, and said with a smile, "Just put breakfast on the table." Thank you. ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Shirakawa, I came in a hurry and didn't bring breakfast."
A mellow man's voice came from behind him, and Bai Chuan turned around: The chief elder of the Lin clan in the wind of Yushu stood by the door and smiled: "Good morning, Your Excellency Bai Chuan." ”
"Ah" Seeing Lin Rui, Bai Chuan's first reaction was to tighten the neckline of the nightgown, and then, she smiled: "Elder, you are early." ”
Looking at Lin Rui, she raised her hands: "Elder Lin, I surrender!" For the price of the hedron, I negotiated late last night, and you personally killed it early this morning - uh, I took it. Just do what you say. ”
"It's really nice to hear that." Lin Rui owed politely, but there was a kind of anxiety in his smile that could not be concealed: "However, I came here to discuss more important matters with Your Excellency Bai Chuan. ”
"More important? What are you referring to? ”
"In the past few days, we have reached a series of cooperation agreements, which we are all very satisfied with. But now, there have been some changes—very significant changes—and I am compelled to discuss with you some necessary changes. "The god of nomadism.
"Necessary revisions?" Although Lin Rui spoke softly, from his expression and tone, Bai Chuan faintly felt an ominous taste.
"I have to tell you this bad news, please believe that I am very sad. But there is no other way. I'll just say it directly: Your Excellency Shirakawa, I'm afraid we won't be able to fulfill these agreements. ”
"What?" Bai Chuan was shocked and angry, and she stood up: "Elder, are you kidding me?" ”
"I'm not kidding, Your Excellency Shirakawa, please sit down first and listen to my detailed explanation." Lin Rui's tone was very calm. But between the words, a compelling majesty rushed to his face, and Bai Chuan couldn't help but suffocate, and involuntarily sat down according to the other party's wishes.
"Although my Heqiu government is not as strong as the Zichuan family, it is also a big country with a history of 300 years. There are really unavoidable reasons for the termination of the contract this time. ”
"Ask the elders. What is the reason for this? Do you need to keep it confidential? Shirakawa sarcastically said that she estimated that the other party would definitely come up with some terrible reasons. For example, the elders will not be able to pass, and the merchants will not agree to fool themselves.
Lin Rui shook his head, he frowned, adding a melancholy aura to his well-defined handsome face: "Of course this doesn't need to be kept secret. In fact, it has a lot to do with your country, Your Excellency Shirakawa. ”
"Elder, dare to ask for details?"
"We were just notified late last night. Just six days ago. There was a military coup d'état in the capital of your country. The governor of your country, Zichuan Sanxing, the president Luo Minghai, and the military affairs department Zhang Sterling and other dignitaries all died in the coup. Crown Prince Zi Chuanning...... There is no definite information on her whereabouts. ”
Even if there was a thunderbolt from the sky, it wouldn't shock Shirakawa even more. She stood up abruptly and pointed at Lin Rui's face, but she couldn't say a word. It took a long time for her to think again. Sitting in a chair and gasping for breath, it took a while to struggle and ask, "Who did that?" ”
"The official life says that Luo Minghai killed the king and murdered Sterling, Luo Minghai - oh. He didn't say anything, he died. As for the truth...... Lin Rui shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "That's really only God knows." ”
Although he didn't know the truth, Shirakawa intuitively sensed that this statement was not true. Killing the monarch and plotting rebellion is appalling, which requires the determination to break the kettle and the courage to go out. Luo Minghai is a good bureaucrat who follows the rules, but he is not a bold hero. On the other hand, his enemy Di Lin is eligible. He is ambitious, resolute, daring to take risks, and even more desperate, and is a good material for rebellion.
But Sterling and Diling are also good friends, they have a deep friendship, how can Diling attack Sterling?
Could it really be that Luo Minghai rebelled?
Shirakawa sat stupidly in his chair. She asked: "His Highness Sanxing has passed away, and His Highness Ning is missing, who is in control of the overall situation now?" ”
"According to intelligence, the imperial capital and the surrounding area are now in the hands of an organization called the Military Salvation Committee, which is composed of a number of army generals, including the Inspector General of your country. Lin Rui smiled: "Of course, the legitimacy of this committee and whether it has the right to represent the entire Zichuan family, these are still observing, but these are far away, let's get back to the point."
Your Excellency Shirakawa, after receiving the news last night, the young men from the Security Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stayed up all night to make an analysis of the future trend of the Zichuan family. The report was sent to me, and I read it, and I feel that it is still relatively well-founded. ”
Lin Rui groaned, and said very carefully: "Because of the drastic changes in the central region of the Zichuan family, in the future, in order to compete for the ruling power of the family, disputes within the Zichuan family are inevitable. Even, we have reason to believe that there is a high probability of a large-scale civil war in the family. In this case, the Zichuanjia area has become a potential high-risk area for war.
It was an adventure to send businessmen across areas where large-scale war was about to break out to the Far East to fulfill investment agreements. I'm sorry, as one of the heads of the Lin family, I can't put the subjects of the Lin family in such danger. The Lin family must be responsible for the safety of his subjects, this is our position. As a last resort, we would like to say sorry to you, and the cooperation agreement has been postponed. I hope that all of you in the Far Eastern Army will understand this. ”
Silent in vain, she replied, "Elder Lin, we understand. The Far Eastern Military Government understands your situation and understands your plight. This is something that no one expected. ”
Lin Rui smiled and said, "Your Excellency Bai Chuan, you are reasonable, which makes us breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the agreement is only suspended, and after the situation improves, we still have opportunities for cooperation. Your Excellency Shirakawa, you have worked so hard for so many days and wasted valuable time and energy, for which we also compensate. We have prepared some small gifts for you to bring on the way back, hoping to compensate for your mood somewhat. It is hoped that this will not undermine our friendly relations with the Far East. ”
Bai Chuan didn't know what "Bo Li" was, with Lin Rui's identity, since he mentioned it, it would definitely not be light. But no matter how heavy the gift, it is just "compensation".
"Elder Lin, you just mentioned the coup d'état in the Imperial Capital region, is there any more detailed news?"
"I'm sorry, just like you, we just got the news, and we don't know the details yet."
"So, how will the Riverhill government respond to this?"
Lin Rui muttered: "The incident in the imperial capital came too suddenly, and we don't have a complete plan to deal with it." However, some measures should be taken to raise the level of alert at the border, to deploy additional border troops and to guard against a massive influx of refugees.
We are very worried that if the turmoil within the Zichuan family is not brought under control soon, and if the rulers of the Zichuan family are unable to maintain order in their country, the tide of unrest is likely to affect us. In order to defend the interests of Heqiu, and also to ensure that the expatriates of Heqiu are not violated, and also because of the traditional friendship between our country and the Zichuan family for many years, since we are allies, at this time, our Lin family will not stand idly by. The Council of Elders had decided last night that when necessary, Riverhill would come forward to reinforce the Zichuan family, and the Security Department would take over the southwestern provinces of the Zichuan family to help the Zichuan family maintain social order and law and order. ”
Shirakawa gasped sharply. He is really worthy of being a politician with old qualifications, doing the most filthy and despicable things, but he can hold the most high-sounding banner. It was obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob the family's southwest territory, but it was explained as: "Out of traditional friendship with the Zichuan family, I came forward to help the family maintain order in the southwest province." ”
Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Bai Chuan said calmly, "Elder Lin Rui, Xia Guan has always admired you very much. But this kind of practice, the lower officials really can't agree. ”
Lin Rui looked at Bai Chuan, he smiled, there was an indescribable mockery in his smile - but it was strange, there was no malice in the smile, but it gave people a warm feeling.
"Your Excellency Shirakawa. I'm just informing you, not asking for your opinion. He smiled and stood up: "Coming to disturb you so early, I hope it doesn't hinder your appetite for food." Farewell. "The god of nomadism.
When he walked to the door, Lin Rui stopped, turned around and said thoughtfully: "Your Excellency Bai Chuan, many years ago, I was as young as you are now. My heart is full of justice and dreams. At that time, I did not understand a truth: it is morality and conscience that guide personal behavior; It is the interests that guide the actions of the state. A lot of times, these two things don't go on the same line. Good luck to you, Shirakawa! ”
There was an unusual sense of sincerity in Lin Rui's words, and Bai Chuan stood up and watched him disappear outside the door. My heart was a mess.
The center of the Zichuan family collapsed, and the cohesion and centripetal force that maintained the family reached the lowest. Even the Lin family, who had always been good friends with the Zichuan family, was ready to snatch the southwest regardless of their status as allies - they had already seen it. The family is almost finished.
Could it be that the Zichuan family, which has dominated the continent for three hundred years, is about to come to an end today?
The soldiers of the Young Zhuang faction, led by Zichuan Xiu, occupied the Far East for a long time and formed an independent warlord force. It's just that, after all, the Zichuan family is his home country, and people are not plants. Now seeing that the motherland has fallen to the point of extinction, Bai Chuan still can't help but sigh, and the melancholy and sadness in his heart linger.
The Zichuan family's office in Heqiu is located in a manor in the southern part of Heqiu City. In normal times, it is a heavily cordoned off zone. At the corner of the street, there is a river hill where the police set up a card to check the passing population, and in the inner layer, there are armed military police of the Zichuan family who are on duty to protect it. The eagle flag flying high above the manor silently proudly announced to the world that this is the territory of the Zichuan family. This place represents the existence of a continental power, which cannot be desecrated!
But in the early morning of January 7, 786, when Shirakawa stood at the door of the office, she was presented with a completely unusual scene. The military police who stood at the gate were gone, the staff who came and went in and out of the street were gone, and even the police officers of the river hill standing guard at the corner of the street were removed.
Not a single one. The gate was open and open, and the flying pieces of paper were whirring in the wind, and they were flying everywhere in the clearing. The usually majestic family eagle flag also lost its momentum, and it was listlessly glued to the flagpole, motionless.
"Anyone?" Shirakawa shouted twice.
There was no answer in the open door.
Shirakawa walked straight in. The waiting hall was also empty, and through the open door, the sun shone on the floor, a patch of white. The tables and chairs that were originally placed in the hall have been removed. The floor was littered with papers and shredded paper. The portrait of Zi Chuanyun hanging on the wall of the hall was torn down, and the mahogany frame was removed, leaving only the portrait lying miserably on the ground. The founder of the family looked indifferently at the red-clothed flag book who entered the door.
Looking at Zi Chuanyun's eyes on the floor for a while, Shirakawa looked away. She shouted again, "Anyone?" ”
The cold wind blew, and the paper in the hall was blown everywhere by the wind.
Shirakawa continued to walk inside, through the waiting room and corridor, and into the inner room.
The room inside was similar to the waiting room, as if it had been ransacked, with a little valuable furniture gone, abandoned documents and miscellaneous items scattered all over the floor, dust flying in the pillars of light shining through the windows, and no one was there.
Wandering in such a room, in the daylight, Bai Chuan couldn't help but feel a chill from the bottom of his heart: It's too weird, in broad daylight, is there really a demon domain? Where have all the people gone?
It wasn't until she walked to the lounge on the third floor that she finally found someone. The man slept in the middle of a pile of black wine bottles on the floor, snoring loudly.
At first, Shirakawa thought it was a homeless man running from outside. She walked up and kicked away the mountain of bottles. After a crisp sound, the man was alarmed, turned over, and revealed the clothes under him, which were the uniform of an officer of the Zichuan family. So Shirakawa thought it was the staff of the office.
She asked, "Your Excellency, please get into trouble." Excuse me, what the hell is going on? Where did all the people in the office go? Also, where's Commissioner Roach? ”
The drunkard on the floor sat up, his beard unkempt, his hair unkempt like a chicken coop, his face puffy and pale, and the smell of alcohol. He rubbed his head and sat stupidly in place, looking like he was hangover and didn't wake up.
"Excuse me, do you know where Commissioner Roach is?"
The drunkard raised his head, he looked at Shirakawa, and said vaguely, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? "The god of nomadism.
Bai Chuan was shocked, she looked at the drunk man in front of her: "You...... Is it Lord Roach? ”
He had only met Roach once, but he shouted at the gate of Riverhill and asked, "Remember, you are the officer of the family!" At that moment, Shirakawa was greatly shocked. The sloppy drunkard in front of him, this drunkard like mud, this bearded man with dirty hair and greasy hair—this is so far from the shrewd and capable clerk in my impression!
Shirakawa hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Roach, I'm Shirakawa. Do you remember me? We saw at the gate of Heqiu City, I am Shirakawa of the Far Eastern Army, do you remember me? ”
The drunk squinted his eyes and stared at Bai Chuan, and after a long time, he nodded slowly and said vaguely, "I remember you......" - when he spoke, a thick breath came to his face, and Bai Chuan held his breath and didn't dare to gasp - "You are Bai Chuan under Zi Chuan Xiu!" ”
The other party did not add honorific titles when he mentioned Hidekawa-sama, which made Shirakawa very unhappy. She patiently said, "Yes, I'm Shirakawa." Lord Roach, it's great to see you. I have something important to report to you! I have received reliable information that Riverhill has bad intentions towards the family, and that they may launch a large-scale military invasion of our country with the aim of encroaching on the southwest of our country! Your Excellency Roach, the source is very accurate, and we must not take it lightly - Your Excellency? Excellency? ”
She suddenly realized that at some point, Roach had closed his eyes, and was lying on the ground again, turning over and falling asleep, and even snoring rhythmically.
Bai Chuan's heart was on fire, and she grabbed the other party's shoulder and shook it vigorously: "Your Excellency Roach! Wake up, wake up! It's a matter of life and death! Are you listening? Roach, you get up for me! ”
"I hear you." Shaken by Bai Chuan couldn't stand it, Luo Qi finally sat up again, he looked at Bai Chuan drunkenly, there was a large piece of dirt in the corner of his eye, and said vaguely: "You mean that the Lin family plans to rob the southwest, right?" I see~"
After saying that, he felt a wine bottle under him and shook it. Make sure there's still alcohol in there. Raising the bottle to his mouth, he raised his head and grunted a pour, a relieved expression on his face.
Shirakawa's eyes widened in surprise, and she felt great anger at Roach's indifferent and numb attitude. She stood up and shouted, "Roach, you are the family's foreign affairs officer, how can you be so neglectful of such important information. It's time to take action! ”
Luo Qi squinted a pair of drunken eyes and looked at Bai Chuan with a smile: "Ah...... What should I do......"
"Do you still need me to teach you, you should report to the family immediately, let them be vigilant and mobilize troops to prepare for ......battle," said Bai Chuan, who was suddenly stunned. She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at the person in front of her.
Roach was half-leaning against the wall, his unkempt hair and dirty beard obscuring most of his face, his alcohol-soaked eyes filled with a mocking smile.
"Looks like you've found out too. Report to the family...... But who should I report to? The chief is dead...... His Highness Ning is missing...... The president was killed...... The Chief of Military Affairs is dead......"
Roach took a sip of wine. Laughing with the smell of wine: "Report to the family!" It's easy to say, who is the family now? Could it be that bullshit committee? Do you want me to report it to Dilin, the traitor who murdered the Chief?
Is the Lin family coming over to rob the southwest? Well done! Now the Zichuan family is a big piece of fat. Instead of giving Di Lin that traitor, it is better to give it to the Lin family! Are they still our allies...... Hmph, the Lin family is here, could it be that the Liufeng family will be stupidly watching from the side? Di Lin, this piece of meat from the Zichuan family, you can't eat it so easily! ”
Rocky took another sip of his drink. sighed and squinted at Bai Chuan: "I said Bai Chuan, your chief." The Far East's Zichuan Show. He's not moved at all? Let him not be shy, what kind of loyal and virtuous minister he is! Hurry up and grab it, the current Zichuan family is a big fat pig. Hands are fast and hands are slow, whoever robs it is who's, you can't grab the imperial capital, it's good to grab a few provinces in the southeast, haha, haha......"
Luo Qi laughed wildly, and Shirakawa's eyes showed sympathy. This is a man facing a collapse. In the heart of this dissolute and decadent man, there is the deepest pain. can become the family's plenipotentiary officer in River Hill, he must be a close confidant of Zichuan Sanxing. Now that the object of allegiance is gone, and the pillar of the hot life for which he fought and worked for has suddenly collapsed, Roach's performance is not surprising.
Looking at the haggard and decadent appearance of the man in front of him, Shirakawa couldn't bear to look at it anymore. She was about to leave, when a question suddenly came to mind: "Your Excellency Luo Qi, as far as I know, the Lin family only got the news of the incident in the imperial capital last night. But it seems that you get the news a lot faster than they do. Can you tell me what's going on? ”
Rocky lay there with his head drooped, and did not make a sound for a long time. Bai Chuan was about to lose patience before he said in a sullen voice: "There are also intelligence military attachés stationed in the office with the Supervision Department. ”
"That?"
"They used carrier pigeons to deliver the message, and they received it three days ago. By chance, I came across a letter from the Office of Internal Inspectors. ”
Shirakawa was taken aback: "Three days ago? What happened on New Year's Day, only three days later? The intelligence network of the Ombudsman is so fast? She shuddered, looked around at the empty room, and asked, "So, where have all the people in the office gone?" ”
"It's all gone."
"Could it be that the domestic turmoil is also implicated here?"
"Hmph, I dismissed them all! I told them that they can take anything they love, except for the house that can't be moved, anything valuable can be moved, and it should be regarded as severance pay! ”
"Why?"
"If you don't move away, are you waiting for Dilin's people to take it over?"
Shirakawa smiled bitterly, she really didn't know what to say. Before leaving, she asked, "Your Excellency Roach, what are you going to do?" ”
"Later?" The man who was drunk with alcohol sneered: "As you can see, I'm drinking. ”
"So, what about later?"
"Keep drinking."
“……”
"Luo Qi, if you don't have any other plans, I have a solution," Bai Chuan said very sincerely: "You also know that the Far Eastern Army is currently booming, we have conquered the Demon Kingdom, and we are in need of talents, it is a vast world. Roach, you're a rare talent, and you shouldn't be wasted. Why don't you go back to the Far East with me? The commander of the Far East is magnanimous and cherishes talents, and I promise you to him, and I will never bury you. ”
Roach groaned, his expression changing, obviously quite moved. But after a while, he still sighed dejectedly: "Thank you." However, if you want me to wait for the new master, I am not in the mood to do so yet. After all, I have served the Zichuan family for more than 20 years, and I can't do it all at once. ”
"Lord Xiuchuan, the commander of the Far East, is also a courtier of the family, and if you serve him, you are also serving the family." The god of nomadism.
Roach laughed, "Forget it. Everyone knows what is going on with the Far Eastern Army and the family. If it weren't for the fact that the Far East was too far away from the imperial capital, it would be Zichuan Xiu who would not have been able to commit a mutiny, not Di Lin. ”
Ignoring Bai Chuan's embarrassed and angry face, he muttered, "I'll wait a while and observe the situation." I don't believe that if the family has been established for 300 years, won't there be loyal ministers who have risen up to serve the king? His Royal Highness Zichuan Ning's whereabouts are still unknown...... As long as His Royal Highness Ning shows up, Lao Tzu will immediately pull an army over and defect to His Highness! At this, Rocky became excited, and his pale face showed a flush.
"What if the situation hasn't changed, or if His Highness Ning hasn't shown up?"
Roach was stunned, he didn't answer, he raised the bottle and grunted it vigorously.
Looking at the person in front of her, she remembered the eagle flag fluttering at the door, and now, the only person guarding the eagle flag was the drunken drunkard in front of her.
Those who adhere to their beliefs are worthy of respect, and Shirakawa bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, please take care. If you change your mind in the future, you can always go to me in the Far East. ”
Roach leaned against the wall and didn't speak, just waved at Shirakawa. Bai Chuan nodded and said, "Farewell." She turned to leave, but as she reached the door, Roach's voice came from behind her: "Shirakawa, the commander of the Far East - will he raise an army to serve the king?" ”
Bai Chuan stopped and shook his head: "Your Excellency, I really don't know. What adults think is not something we can guess. ”
"Alas~" A long sigh came from behind him, and Shirakawa waited for a long time, but there was no sound from behind him. She silently walked out the door of the office. In the bright and cheerful morning sun, she looked at the eagle flag that was unfurled, and her heart was surging.
The country suffered a great calamity, and only then did it see loyalty and righteousness. My lord, what choice would you make at this time?
On January 25, 786, the Demon Kingdom.
The cold wind from the far east rushed all the way across the endless grasslands of the Demon Kingdom. Endless snow filled the canyons, hollows, and ravines, and there were no roads or trails in sight, and the city was surrounded by a wind-blown empty snowfield.
Florosbia, a large city surrounded by wind and snow. This was originally the capital of the Yakun tribe, the great clan of the Demon Kingdom, but since the second half of last year, when the newly enthroned emperor of the kingdom went out to visit the Western Kingdom, it has been the temporary capital of the Demon Kingdom. Currently, the emperors, courts, and courts of the kingdom have stayed here.
In the Demon Kingdom, there is a long history and tradition of slander and attacks on the Demon God Emperor in power, even a strong emperor like the Demon God Emperor Carter was inevitably pointed at behind his back, and foreign emperors like Zichuan Xiu were inevitably discussed. For example, there is a discussion among the people that the reason why the new Demon God Emperor stayed in Florzbia for a long time was because the Demon God Castle was occupied by barbarians. His Majesty couldn't defeat the barbarians and didn't dare to go back, so he simply occupied the nest of the Yakun tribe as his own court.
"This is, of course, a shameless lie!" The new Minister of Propaganda of the Kingdom and the spokesperson of Foreign Affairs, Ka Greed, solemnly declared: "The Holy Kingdom is still in the hands of the soldiers of my God Race, facing the attack of the barbarians. The Holy Kingdom stands like a mountain! The reason why His Majesty stayed in the West was entirely to care for the people of the Western Kingdom, so that they could bathe in sanctification, and let His Majesty's benevolent holy light shine on them! "The god of nomadism.
As for Cardin's remarks, how many people believe them - neither Zichuan Xiu nor Cardin will worry about it. Although half of the kingdom knew that the Demon God Emperor had left the Demon God Castle to escape the barbarians' sharpness, Cardin insisted on saying so. No chief would really come out to argue with her—the debater with the bayonet behind his back was invincible. This is the case with many things in the world, and ordinary people do not lack the intelligence to see through lies, they just lack the courage to expose lies.
This year's cold winter came very early. The snow fell very heavily. Overnight. Snow flakes rolled in and covered the ground. Even in the Demon Kingdom, which is always cold, such a blizzard is rare. In the next few days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Demon Kingdom received urgent requests for help from various tribes and tribes. In this unprecedented snowstorm, countless people and animals of various tribes were frozen to death, and many villages and cities were cut off from the outside world by the heavy snow, and they were in urgent need of rescue.
For the sake of this sudden disaster, Cardin, Gwyn and other important ministers of the kingdom all met with the King of Light, emphasizing that if the central government of the kingdom fails to deal with this natural disaster in a timely and proper manner, it will greatly affect the prestige of the King of Light's regime, and thus affect the stability of the regime. In response to the snow disaster, the Interior Ministry of the Kingdom continued to work overtime, and Minister Cardin's eyes turned red into rabbit eyes.
They designated a disaster relief plan, the military rations that had been stored for war against the barbarians were diverted for disaster relief, and the army that had been assembled to prepare for war was also sent to various disaster areas to carry out disaster relief missions - of course, the only areas near Fogrozbia could be rescued, and the rescue was limited to those tribes that were obedient to Shikawa Xiu - this was mainly because there was a small tribe that did not come to the Hajj and pay tribute when Zichuan Shu ascended the throne, but when the snow disaster came, They immediately cried for His Majesty's grace and mercy.
In the face of this huge natural disaster, the royal government is very limited in what it can save. But even so, the subordinates shouted for the emperor's grace. Since ancient times, the government of the Demon Kingdom has been an entity with extremely unequal rights and obligations, and the Demon God Emperor controls everything, but pays very little. The subjects unconditionally support the royal government, but the royal government does not have to bear any responsibility for the life or death of the subjects.
Although Zichuan Xiu didn't do much, compared to the previous emperors who didn't do it at all, it was enough to make his subjects exclaim "Emperor of Benevolence and Righteousness" - but Zichen Huanxiu was not much happy, Cardin told him that the standard of "benevolence" of the demon clan was really low, and as long as the emperor did not kill Yingye, he could be called a benevolent emperor.
Thankfully, the snow isn't all bad. Because of the snow disaster, overnight, the barbarians sleeping in the wilderness were also frozen to death countless times, and the aggressive offensive of the barbarians was also forcibly stopped, and Zichuan Xiu was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
On the 25th of January, Grozbia welcomed guests. At the call of the Bright Emperor Zichuan Xiu, the Mongol princes, the Marquis Montaigne and his entourage arrived. Since the accidental death of the previous patriarch Meng Khan, the Mongol Elders' Council failed to elect a new patriarch, and the Mongol tribe has been caught in a fragmented melee. The Mongol tribe is not large, but there are really many careerists, and within a month of Meng Khan's death, fifteen Mongolian nobles claimed to be his legitimate heirs.
