"What are you looking at?" In the dimly lit room, little Ducasse drank alone, sitting on a bench with his legs crossed, his demeanor elegant and noble, and the corners of his mouth left shallow wine stains.

"The night of the empire is really beautiful, but I don't know how many of us can continue to appreciate it and enjoy such a beautiful life!"

Isaac looked back at the man who had taken him in, but this noble man's self-drinking demeanor made him full of admiration, but at this time he was already anxious, and couldn't help but sneer.

"What? Do you want to assassinate the Emperor now or pull us in for a coup d'état? ”

Little Ducasse reached out and pulled Isaac at the critical moment, naturally he also had his own plans, but the other party was not easy to match, and he carefully grasped the size of the negotiation between the two sides.

"The latest news is that the Emperor has won a great victory at Lalisha, and the last embers of the Bulgarians have fallen, and I admire that you are still sitting still!"

Isaac has something to say, at the beginning, he was chased by the emperor's eagle dog and had no way to enter the sky, and he almost wanted to be the other party's prisoner, and when he was in distress, he could only ask for help from the Orthodox Patriarch, but the other party categorically refused.

Now that Isaac thinks about it, he is still a little annoyed, these great nobles of the imperial capital themselves do not come out, but they use themselves as gunmen, and by the way, they also take the opportunity to test the mind of the patriarch.

It would be best if the Patriarch was dissatisfied with the tyrant and was willing to join their cause, even if it didn't work, there was no loss, and when he was cornered by Licinius with the sword of Damocles, he would give him a hand, and make him owe him a favor, which was also discovered by Isaac and others when he came to his senses.

It's just that these big nobles of the imperial capital are too shrewd in everything, and they still have to fight in the nest, but they have forgotten who they are fighting against.

The other party is a young and ambitious Roman emperor, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, once he returns to the imperial capital to make trouble, who can get away with it, but Isaac himself now has no soldiers and no power, so he can only send people under the fence, which is really annoying!

"What! Where did you get the news? Isn't it just a few days since the emperor returned to Beijing! ”

Little Ducasse couldn't pretend anymore, and they had a lot of blood in order to defeat the emperor who had violated their interests.

not only sent money and ordnance to the Bulgarians, but also sent internal responses, and let them do everything they could, but the Bulgarians were really a bunch of mud that they couldn't hold up, so they were defeated!

If the Emperor had captured those Bulgarians and tortured them, and then traced the details from the various officials defending the city, it would not be long before their heads fell to the ground!

"Now Alexios has not returned, Constantinople is only ruled by Mary of Antioch, as long as you can launch the Imperial Guard, it is not hopeless!"

Isaac poured a full glass of wine for little Ducasse, and then poured himself a glass, and the red and bright wine was full of fragrance, but little Ducasse held his glass and was silent for a long time.

Isaac's words moved him, but the Emperor's army was outside, and even if he succeeded, he could not guarantee that he would not be extinguished by the Emperor's army, so he preferred to wait for the right time to finish the battle.

"Look at the letter from Lord Dandolo of Venice!" Isaac pulled out a letter from his bosom and handed it to little Ducasse.

Little Ducasse opened a few glances and looked at Isaac silently, it turned out that he was also deeply hidden, although he was already alone in the country, but with this letter, it showed that the Venetians had at least been supporting him behind him.

"What is the Venetian offer? Don't you tell me these greedy vampires would pass up such a good opportunity? Little Ducasse shook off the letter and just looked at Isaac, his eyes fixed on him.

"They failed to support Andronica, so they can only find another bet, after all, they have lost the trade privileges of Constantinople, and Venice is also very damaged, I heard that they originally wanted to issue national debts, but now they are forced to give up!"

Isaac's words made little Ducasse sneer in his heart, the Venetian was really cold, he originally felt strange, Isaac alone can still contact all the door valves to stir up the wind and rain together, where did he get the confidence?

Now I finally understand that the Venetians seem to have always been a thief to Rome, and after being driven out by Emperor Manuel, they are still worried about their privileges in Rome, and it is also legitimate to secretly support Isaac to make trouble for the new emperor.

However, Isaac's-stirring stick does have a place for him, although this person abandoned the old master and escaped alone, but he is probably the only one who knows how to use soldiers among the nobles of the imperial capital, and once he wants to do something, he can only rely on him.

"The Venetians want to restore all the rights that Manuel had before they drove them away, and I don't think that's too much!"

Isaac said lightly what the Venetians had coveted for a long time, which made little Ducasse frown slightly, betraying the country so thoroughly, this Isaac can't stay in the future, but now after all, he is not in charge of his own home.

"The Venetians' asking price was too high, and it was not only the emperor's will to drive them away, but the citizens of Constantinople and the Orthodox Church made a lot of efforts.

The Venetians eat alone but provoke the anger of the public, if we let the Venetians come back as soon as we come to power, we will not be the next to lose our heads! ”

Little Ducasse thought about it for a while but still refused to let go, Isaac also sighed secretly when he saw this, the country is not yours yet, you cherish it so much, you don't even sell the country completely, and you still expect people to come to help you.

It's just whimsical, the flowers in these greenhouses have really never seen the world, I think that Emperor Alexios I had just ascended the throne, and it can be said that all the good things that could be sold were sold, so he ascended to the throne, with the Komnenos dynasty, and now the throne of the family is not good.

"My lord, the emperor's return trip is only a few days away, and he has been constantly suffering from it, and now that the dog of Licinius has been tracking me for many days, I may have found some clues by him!"

Isaac could not persuade the little Ducas to go to the Venetians, so he could only persuade him to launch a mutiny as soon as possible, and now although the middle and high-ranking officers in the Imperial Forest Army have been replaced by the emperor's men, the various gate lords are still intertwined in the low-level officers, and they are very influential.

Ducasse Jr. has taken over the family's power for many days after his father was imprisoned, but his prestige is far inferior to his father's, so this is why he would rather wait for the opportunity than launch a coup d'état by the Imperial Guards.

Isaac saw that little Ducasse was still silent, and decided to give him a dose of fierce medicine.

"The Archbishop of Bulgaria, Fyodor, has already surrendered, and it is said that he is the godfather of the Assen brothers, and it is unlikely that he will not know the inside story with his position in Bulgaria!"

Little Ducasse raised his head and looked at the man: "You have lost your benefactor, you have lost your brother, so you have come to tempt me to fall into hell together, but you are right, I really don't have many options!" ”

Little Ducasse stood up and looked up at the images of the ancestors adorned on the walls, and he must not let the honor of the family be dusted!
