"Tadivi is not angry...... Sophia opened the curtains with a smile, and the sunlight shone in through the window, completely pulling the half-asleep John back.

"If he had jumped from a commoner to an aristocracy, with the hat of a new nobleman, and with some small groups trying to compete with the empire, there would be no need for Valleoio to rule the entire empire anymore. If you don't give these guys a little warning, I'm afraid they'll still feel that they deserve to be in power? John rubbed his eyes and propped up half of his body, "Didn't my father already have someone bring the wheelchair over, tell someone to push it in." ”

Tarianos did not confess to his guilt until the end, and the Tocco family naturally "found" Angelo Alfonso Toco, who had been missing for many days. According to the information released by the Tocco family, Angelo was seriously injured when they found Angelo, and he is still recuperating in Tocco Manor, and no further information can be revealed.

Such ambiguity certainly did not lead the Supreme Court to convict Tarevius. But with the mouth of Osipis alone, he had almost degraded the Tadivi family to worthless. Even if the charges against the Tadivi family were withdrawn, I am afraid that the upper echelons would ignore the existence of this family from now on.

In complete isolation, Angelo Alfonso Tocco, who survived the "assassination", became the supreme commander of the Holy Guard. Of course, the Tocco family's attitude towards the royal family has gradually changed under the influence of Pedro. Now that we have entered the vortex of core rights, it is absolutely impossible to completely stay out of the situation.

Of course, as long as they are smart, they will eventually choose to be loyal to the royal family.

"Want to go out for a walk?"

"It's better to be in the sun than to be in this room all day. By the way, Sophia, what do you think Tarianos would have done if he had reacted? ”

"With the current situation of the Tadivi family, what can they do?"

……

The city of Athens was almost completely destroyed, and Epirus was probably the least affected. Previously, under John's control, the economy of Epirus was relatively undependent on the throughput trade of the port area of Piraeus. In the port of Jawir, there were also Venetian merchant ships and caravans that traded with the empire.

Because of the existence of gold mines in Epirus and Kosovo, the jewelry and gold processing industry has also shown signs of rising, as a rare profiteering industry, which has virtually added a lot of independent income to Epirus. Of course, independent trade orders with the Mamluks, Albania and other countries also brought a lot of income. All in all, the construction of the God's Wish Chapel turned out to be surprisingly smooth. Additional people from North Africa, the Mamluks and Tunisia filled many of the labor gaps.

"Mr. Jeffrey."

Sleepy in the midst of a pile of reports, Jeffrey was awakened by a brief knock on the door. Fort Combrigne became a little deserted after John returned to Slou Gardens to recuperate. At this time, there were still people visiting, which also surprised Jeffrey.

"Come in."

"Mr. Jeffrey, excuse me."

"General Publius?"

Publius left Constantinople at John's behest. The choice of the commander of the Holy See Guard has now been decided. In any case, Publius' erroneous decisions on the battlefield of Athens were a root cause of the rout. Even if Constantine XI did not hold Publius accountable after removing him from his post. But for such a young commander who had made such a big mistake, it was naturally impossible to rearrange the position of Publius so quickly.

According to Publius's own wishes, he preferred to serve as a deputy at Giovanni's side for a few years before returning to the post of commander. Naturally, John would have fulfilled such a request, and wrote to Giovanni overnight, asking Giovanni to temporarily offer Publius a temporary position in the Phoenix Guard.

"Constantinople can't stay any longer, and the people at the foot of the Purple Palace have a much more unpleasant opinion of me than they might think. Mr. Jeffrey, is General Giovanni in Combrigné now? ”

"The Phoenix Legion has been recruiting troops in Gombrigne for a long time, and General Giovanni will not leave Gombrine without anything else. Sit down for a while, and in a little while General Giovanni should be back. Jeffrey put down the pen in his hand and asked with a serious expression, "Now the Athenian rout is in an uproar within the empire. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the mainstream view of the people. It was a huge mistake that could not be put on the table. Not only did it greatly boost the morale of the Ottomans, but it also allowed us to expand our ...... The recovery of the old territories was delayed. ”

"Of course I know......," said Publius, with a wry smile, "when Carachar led his army into the inner city, I had even begun to consider how I would be executed by His Majesty Constantine. God bless that he can still serve under General Giovanni now. ”

"God will not bless you for nothing, Publius. General Giovanni single-handedly propelled you to the position of commander of the Holy See, and this record will not only damage your own prestige in the army...... The same will cause problems for General Giovanni. The army is a place where prestige and military exploits are spoken. Jeffrey sighed, "There are some things that Giovanni will not say to you, and His Majesty John will not tell you. Publius, you are young and very creative and flexible in your tactical thinking. It's exactly the same as when I was back. But such a personality can bring disaster. ”

"I don't think that's a shortcoming, Mr. Jeffrey." Publius was clearly not happy to accept such a lecture, "Athens was indeed a rout. But that doesn't erase the previous record of the Holy See. Mr. Jeffrey, would you deny that you had contributed to the Empire before you were deposed? ”

"Publius, if the war had been withdrawn and cancelled at any time, as Mr. Jeffrey's radical proposals, the Roman Empire would not have fallen into the present situation." Giovanni had just returned from the barracks, still wearing that armor, "His Majesty John does not hold you responsible, but it is an indisputable fact that the Crown Prince and the princess are hanging by a thread because of your decisions. ”

"General Giovanni ......"

"Or, if it weren't for me and Lycaon reacting and immediately supporting, you should know what the current situation of the empire would be. If His Majesty had died in Athens, the foundations of Palaiologo's rule would have been shaken. Learn to be humble and calm. Adventurous innovation can change the tide of battle in a desperate situation, but it must not be used as a regular means! ”
