Chapter 61 The plan is complete
God is a brick that moves where it is needed.
Under the singing and harmony of Cepes and Apaca, Count Sandria, as a devout Christian, could only obey.
In the chamber, the self-improvement faction and the Hungarian faction gloated, and the capitulation faction put everyone at risk.
Since Tsepes was able to use this trick to deal with Count Sandria, they could not be spared, and they could not remain silent.
"Your Excellency the Grand Duke, isn't there something wrong with this approach?
Just now, you asked us to stay, but you didn't say that we should sign the declaration. ”
"It's just that we don't want to sign, you can't do whatever you want in the name of God."
Seven or eight nobles spontaneously gathered together and spoke strongly against Tepes.
At the same time, they also called on other capitulationists to amplify the opposition.
However, this did not work, and many nobles leaned towards the Ottomans because of their strength.
The Ottomans were still strong, and now, in the city, in this palace, the most powerful was undoubtedly Tepes.
The grass on the wall has always been like this, and as soon as the wind blows lightly, their position will change.
So these guys, together kept silent, they wanted to wait for things to develop before making the most reasonable judgment.
The first few people who shouted at the beginning had very ugly faces, and they had realized that they had become the first birds.
They closed their mouths in unison, trying to walk back to their original positions, but unfortunately they couldn't go back.
Before, they took the initiative to get together, and now, others have taken the initiative to draw a line with them.
And at this moment, Cepes's majestic voice sounded again.
"Sorry, your objection, invalid!
The names of all those present will appear on the joint statement, regardless of who wrote it. ”
Glancing at the ugly expressions of some of the guys, and pausing slightly, Tsepes continued:
"Once the announcement is issued, whether you are willing or not, you must bear the consequences that come with it.
Don't think that you can communicate with the Ottomans and continue to be safe.
For whether it comes from the heart or not, since you have chosen to stay in the hall in the previous step, the Ottomans will never see you as partners. ”
A few simple words made those duplicitous surrender factions all blindfolded at once.
Tsepes was right, with the Ottomans' way of doing things, all these people they were present would be treated as hostile targets.
Only the three Andrei Ayew, who had left before, were qualified to negotiate so-called loyalty with the Ottomans.
Of course, they also have a way to turn the tide of the situation.
That is, after returning to the territory, immediately in his own name, a new statement.
The statement would make it clear that they did not want to be an enemy of the Ottomans, and that all of this was forced by Tepes.
In this way, it is true that the Ottomans can be dealt with, but every Wallachian citizen will become their enemy.
Either become the target of public criticism, or wait for the revenge of the Ottomans, there is no third option.
Thinking about all this, the capitulation faction present all beat their chests one by one.
The other nobles looked at these guys gloatingly.
has been a loyal dog for decades, but because he smelled the smell of other people's meat, he was skinned and cramped by his owner, which is definitely the biggest irony in the world.
At this time, an earl named Caruso couldn't help but interject:
"Lord Grand Duke, do you have to use war to solve the problem!? Perhaps, there is a better way. ”
Count Caruso is a member of the self-improvement faction, but he is a moderate among the self-improvement faction.
There are actually not a few nobles who have the same idea as him.
In their hearts, they want Wallachia to be better, but they don't want to make the sacrifices.
For these, those who just want to be in a corner of peace, Tsepes will not be polite.
"War is inevitable, and if you don't want to take responsibility, then all the rights you enjoy will be denied.
It's not a joke, and I never joke with threatening words. ”
How could a moderate who was unwilling to pay the price risk losing his territory.
Count Caruso obediently shut his mouth and joined the queue waiting for the signature.
All the opposition and doubts were put to rest, and people began to sign the joint statement.
Because it has been lost, the second opportunity to sign, Earl Deep-Roy and Duke Da'an, no longer quarrel over who will come first.
In fact, there are still many people who are in a state of entanglement, thinking about whether to sign in person.
At this time, Apaca, who seemed to be in a state of being outside the realm of the spirit, suddenly said with an angry face:
"Just now, my guardian angel told me that there are likely to be vile blasphemers among you.
Who is the Holy Angel talking about, stand up for me at once, and I will personally burn him at the stake! ”
The old god stick will add drama to himself, and with a few words, he not only improves his compulsion, but also deters those who are lucky.
Therefore, in order to show their devotion to God, the nobles could only sign their names one by one.
In the end, there was no one who asked Cepes to help 'sign' on his behalf.
After the first joint statement was signed, Cepes carefully put away the scroll, then opened the second copy for everyone to sign.
In the same order, soon the people signed their names on the second statement.
Placing the second statement back on the tray, Tsepesh gave Moussad a look, and Moussard understood and immediately walked to the door with the tray in his hand.
When Moussard left the chamber, Tsepesh smiled maliciously again.
"Two statements, one will be publicized throughout the country, and the other one, I will leave it at the bottom and let people send it to the Ottoman Sultan."
The capitulation nobles present beat their chests again, and they knew that the brighter Cepes's smile was, the more things would be unfavorable to them.
The whole statement was undoubtedly a declaration of war against the Ottomans, and their names were written on it.
In this way, all the capitulation nobles must completely turn against the Ottomans, and they no longer have room for maneuver.
At the moment, the two statements are no longer in the chamber, and they don't even have a chance to forcibly tear up the votes.
Compared with their bitter faces, most of the self-improvement factions, all the Hungarian factions, are inexplicably excited.
Sitting at the top, Tsepes, looking down at everyone in the hall, declared his elaborate plan a success.
And the only place where the accident happened was the old god stick of Apaca.
This guy was many times more cunning than he initially thought.
At present, the two sides have common goals, and cooperation can bring win-win results.
But one day, the contradictions brought about by power will erupt, and one of the two of them will be killed by the other.
Of course, this must be a long time later......
