There are no gold carvings, there are no necessary palace eunuchs, and the dark pillars are even a little rusty.

In the corner of the staircase of the temple, you can see the green moss, and you can see the attendants when you walk along the road.

The only Imperial guards stood on either side, armed with guns, solemn.

The former governor of Crimea, Hunyadis, was full of surprise, he had been away from the court for a long time, and he was not familiar with the current supreme.

An emperor who admires simplicity, the empire should be glad to have such a king.

The previous emperor Manuel was belligerent, the imperial treasury was empty, and the empire's financial revenue channels were limited.

The limited tax revenue could not meet the consumption of the imperial army and the nobles of the imperial capital, and the finances became increasingly embarrassed.

When the Normans landed in Moria and Corinth, they nearly destroyed the once thriving silk weaving center of the Empire.

Now Palermo, Italy, has become the money bag of the Normans, the golden fountain of glitter.

The empire's taxes were now almost entirely dependent on the money extracted from the peasants and the maritime trade.

The inflated desires of the Venetians, Genoese, and Pisians in the Mediterranean squeezed the interests that had belonged to the empire.

Fortunately, the expansion of the Black Sea trade circle provided the empire with a stable source of income.

But these are not the key, the nobles of the imperial capital who covet the throne are the emperor's worst enemies.

And Alexios's iron-blooded ruthlessness opened the eyes of the people of the empire.

The new emperor had a cruel personality, not inferior to the Emperor Basil, and subdued every rebel with an iron fist.

Anyone who aspired to the throne was killed, and those who dared to challenge were directly pressed to the ground and rubbed.

This Supreme needs him to work up 120,000 points of spirit to deal with it.

Coming to the outside of the emperor's dormitory, taking a deep breath, Hunyadis knocked on the palace door.

"Come in!"

The former governor of Crimea walked into the inner palace, which was relatively quiet, quiet, rustling, only the sound of flipping books.

"The Great Imperial Supreme Basilus!"

"Hunyadis has come to meet you."

Alexios looked up from the bookcase and closed the History of the War.

Written by Procobius, the book details three major battles of the empire in the time of Justinian.

The author was the secretary and adviser to Belisarius, commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Reich.

He has witnessed in detail the wars of the imperial army against the Persians, Vandals, and Ostrogoths.

Alexios humbly studied the various art of war in the Empire.

The essence he absorbed from it allowed him to open the door to a new world.

Grow all the time.

"I know you, Hunyadis."

"Your actions in Crimea are very much recognized by the Imperial Council, so I have summoned you back."

The former governor of Crimea, lying on the ground, was glad that he was still young and should not have had such an opportunity.

When he left the imperial capital of Constantinople to take up a post on the Black Sea, Hunyadis never imagined that he would return.

However, it also allowed him to avoid the brutal political strife of the Empire, and when Hunyadis looked back again, the Empire was already nirvana.

"Whew!"

Gently exhaled a cloudy breath, feeling the pressure of the Imperial Supreme.

"Don't be nervous, you get up."

Alexios had a good impression of this high-ranking imperial official of the same year.

Looking at his resume, he has a reform-oriented attitude, and he has served as a magistrate, so he is very powerful.

"What do you think about the empire building a city on the Black Sea?"

Hunyadis knew that this was a test of himself, and that the emperor's intentions needed to be guessed by the subjects of the empire themselves.

"The construction of a new city in Odessa is really a good move."

"Limited to the competitive advantages of the Venetians, the Genoese, the Pisa."

"The empire's trade in the Mediterranean was gradually suppressed, and only the virgin land of the Black Sea was suitable for us."

Seeing that the emperor didn't care with half-squinted eyes, Hou Niyadis was ruthless.

"The Imperial Fleet in the Dardanelles can block the passage of any hostile forces at any time, and this is the charm of the Black Sea!"

"Monopoly!"

Alexios snapped open his eyes and got to the point.

The Imperial Navy once roamed all directions, but as the empire's territory weakened, it had to retreat to the Eastern Mediterranean.

However, the Black Sea has no strong enemies to resist, and it is a rich treasure land that can belong to the empire alone.

"Go on."

The emperor was moved and pleased by this man's insight, at least not a useless person.

"The Imperial Navy fleet can also contain Hungary and Roma."

"The Seljuks will be battered from the sea by the Imperial Army."

"Hungarian ......"

Alexios smiled, and the current Hungarian king Béla once adopted for his father, Manuel.

The former emperor was the son of the Hungarian princess Irina, and the supreme was nearly sixty years old and had no concubines born.

The position of crown prince was once vacant, and the conspirators inside and outside the emperor were ambitious and tried in vain to contaminate the throne.

This King of Bella changed his name to Alex Hughes and was given the title of absolute monarch.

He almost married the emperor's eldest daughter, Maria, and was only one step away from the crown prince's throne.

But Mary of Antioch gave birth to Alexios, the emperor's only son-in-law.

Everything has changed.

King Bella's fortunes in the empire were put to an end, and Manuel preferred his own son.

Blood intimacy overwhelmed affection, and Bella lost the possibility of ascending to the supreme throne of the Empire.

But Emperor Manuel gave him a crown anyway.

Lord of Hungary!

And the king kept in mind his oath that the interests of the emperor and the Romans were paramount.

Bella's promise: as long as Emperor Manuel is alive, he will not take back his inheritance in Croatia.

But the problem is that Emperor Manuel died.

Alexios, on the other hand, cut off Bella's succession to the throne.

"Hungary is an ally now, but if they decide to reach out to Croatia, then they will immediately become enemies!"

"The Empire has to be vigilant!"

Seeing Alexios smile, Hunyadis had the audacity to finish speaking.

"For ten years, Hungary has respectfully served the Empire, but there is no absolute."

"Maybe in the future, we will also meet the Hungarians."

"You have a vision that most of the bureaucracy of the empire does not have."

"I need you to respectfully continue to offer your allegiance to the Empire."

"Great Supreme!"

"The Roman Huniadis must do his best to be loyal to the Empire."

Alexios, who stroked his chin, smiled, this person was very knowledgeable.

"The position of the Governor of Nicaea!"

Honyadis was stunned for a moment, and nodded hurriedly.

"The Bulgarians will continue to move over, and the thirty-three estates will be built as soon as possible."

"You have a lot of responsibility!"

The new governor of the empire knelt on the ground, excited, and climbed again in his life's career.
