Chapter 182: Three Please Three Lets
The Ross nobles, Randy and his Guard Knights, after a quick breakfast in the morning, followed Randy to Gomery, and came to Randy's temporary lease of a villa that had been renovated by Norman engineers, and then the cooks brought by Randy with the army took out their housekeeping efforts to make high-quality dishes, because they were well prepared, the shoddy phenomenon that appeared in Sonia before did not appear, fried chicken, steak, truffle, foie gras caviar, all of which were full of color and flavor.
Of course, if these damned Ukrainian aristocrats are not one bite at a time!
"No, it won't! It turned out to be spiced! ”
"Be patient, I've endured it for a day, and it's not bad for this time." Randy puffed his wine as he reminded himself, then accepted the toast of another Rus' nobleman with a smile, and happily drank the entire glass of wine, pouring it over to prove that he had drunk it all.
The Rus' clapped their hands and cheered, after which a Rus' nobleman, who had already benefited from the Normans, rose to his feet, climbed to the large oval table with the help of the guards, and shouted with all his might, attracting the attention of all the Rus' nobles.
"Everyone, please listen to me!"
As he shouted like this, the voices of the other Rus' nobles slowly became smaller, but they discussed in a whisper: "Is that Ivanov the Gutsless?" A real despicable villain and a shameless coward, what exactly does he have to say? ”
The Rus' nobles whispered, not taking this Ivanov who had just stood up seriously, the Rus' people at this time could not be called a civilized race, and in the eyes of the group of people in the Eastern Roman Empire, they could only be regarded as some civilized barbarians.
Barbarians have what barbarians have in common, that is, they advocate force, despise people who do not use force, and rely on intrigue and trickery to get to power, and Ivanov, who was scolded as a coward, is such an alternative Rus, who is not skilled in martial arts, but has a small abacus, so when competing with other Rus nobles for pastures and population, he can always take advantage, and many people here have suffered his losses.
So it's no wonder that this guy has a bad reputation.
But thanks to his fast-spinning brain, Randy browsed the entire Rus' nobles in northern Ukraine again, and it seemed that there were several suitable candidates, but the only one who had left an impression on Randy before was 10,000 Nov, this guy can be said to have good luck, or this guy's luck is quite bad.
During an official meeting with the Rus' nobles in northern Ukraine, Randy approached him and gave him a somewhat dangerous, but very rewarding assignment.
Ivanov knew that he had no choice, that the Northern Emperor had a temper that he could not afford as a small nobleman of his own, and that His Majesty had paid him very attractively.
"How big is the size of the tribe you can control? Tell you about it! If you can complete this task I have given you, I will multiply that number tenfold! ”
"Ten times?"
Ivanov couldn't help but swallow, and then decided to die for the Norman emperor.
When all the Rus' nobles present looked at him, Ivanov was a little weak, but when he thought of the reward promised to him by the Norman emperor, he had ten times more courage, cleared his throat and began to speak:
"First of all, I would like to ask you a question, do you think that the Norman Emperor was a good king?"
Although it is not known what this means, the answer of the Rus' nobles can be imagined.
"Of course! We've never seen a better monarch than His Majesty Randy. ”
"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be serving His Majesty Randy as monarch."
"His Majesty Randy is the best emperor in the world!"
"Long live Your Majesty Randy!"
The Ross nobles scrambled to express their loyalty and admiration for Randy, and the praised Emperor smiled and nodded, which seemed to be nothing wrong.
Then Ivanov continued: "So, guys, do you think the territory under His Majesty's command should be as vast as ever? ”
This question was a bit more difficult than the previous one, but after a short period of thought, the Ross nobles still gave a satisfactory answer.
"Huge!"
"Very big!"
"Bigger than Rome!"
"His Majesty's empire is definitely bigger than Alexander!"
"A hundred of the best horses can run to death!"
"The land under the moon can be ruled by His Majesty!"
The last more literary remark was not uttered by the Rus' nobles, but by a Norman spy hidden among them, and the Ukraine of the Rus' nobles was shouted in Danish.
"That's right! The land under the moon can be ruled by His Majesty! ”
The Rus aristocracy was fashionable and unintelligible, and when they heard such a dick slogan, they immediately echoed it.
Although he didn't know who helped him, Ivanov felt that his task seemed to be almost complete.
"Then do you think that Ukraine can be ruled by His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Of course!"
The Rus nobles nodded, feeling that this problem was simply too level, and they welcomed Randy over, wasn't it just to let him rule Ukraine, of course, specific problems, specific analysis, specific to a certain tribe, just let them, the Rus' nobles, solve it.
His Majesty the Emperor only needs to grasp the major policies of the country, such as diplomacy, noble welfare, treatment and other things.
"So do you think that His Majesty Randy can rule Belarus?"
"Of course!"
This time the Rus' aristocracy answered faster, what does Belarus have to do with itself? I'm not a nobleman there.
"And what about Crimea?"
"No problem!"
After taking control of Ukraine, is it like attacking Crimea? This also seems normal, no big deal.
"And what about Novgorod?"
"Of course!"
Do you want to help Novgorod get back to the country? Or a war with the Grand Duchy of Moscow? Again, it's none of our business, just nod your head.
"Grand Duchy of Moscow?"
"No problem!"
"Neo-Scandinavia?"
"No problem!"
"Poland-Lithuania?"
"No problem!"
"Kievan Rus?"
"No problem!"
"What about all the Rus'?"
"No problem!"
Ivanov's face was swollen and red, and he thought to himself that he was waiting for your words!
Desperately clapped his hands and shouted: "Since everyone agrees, then Your Majesty Randy can obtain the inheritance of Kievan Rus', and you will also get the ruling power of all Rus', Your Majesty Randy will not only be the emperor of a single country or the original Normans, he will also be the new king of the Rus', Caesar, the Rus' Tsar, Randy von Hoffmann, he will be the new master of the Rus', the new royal family of the whole Eastern Europe." ”
“………………”
It was only at this time that some Ross didn't feel right!
Kievan Rus?!
All Rus?!
Tsar?!
Some Rus' nobles were awakened by the drunkenness, which was different from what they imagined, they only wanted to vassalize the Normans at the beginning, and did not want to hand over the ruling power of Kievan Rus' or the Rus', let a Norman be their emperor, and let a Norman become the tsar of all Rus', which is completely two meanings, the legal effect of the latter is countless times higher than the former.
If Randy still lived in the land as a Norman Emperor, what was it called? The name is not right, if it is okay, it is fine, but as long as there is a slight disturbance, the Rus nobles can drive him away as a foreigner and restore the autonomy of the Rus people again, in fact, many Rus nobles are playing such an abacus, and now Randy is dormant for a while, and when he makes a mistake, let him spit out all the territory.
In the minds of the Rus' people, Randy is a foreigner, an outsider, and a trustee, and he only temporarily, temporarily, and occasionally obtains the right to rule this territory, which may be lost at any time, that is to say, they Rus people have a chance, even if they take 10,000 steps back and say, Randy has not made any mistakes, but he is the guest and the lord, and his policy towards the Rus nobles will definitely be lenient and preferential, so that the Rus nobles can support his rule.
If Randy had proclaimed the Ross Tsar, the situation would have been very different.
With the name of righteousness, and the strong military support of the entire Norman army, he can put aside these Rus nobles and take over the whole of Eastern Europe in the name of justice, although all the Rus countries and let all the Rus people submit to him, at that time, King Randy, who has righteousness and enough strength, will he still treat these Rus nobles as politely as now? Absolutely not!
The lively banquet just now instantly became silent, although the Ross nobles are not very smart, but they are not stupid, even if there are really fools who don't even know what to say, the people standing next to him will fiercely mention the ass of these idiots, warning them to be quiet, all the Ross nobles will focus their eyes on Randy, wanting to hear what he has to say.
The Norman Emperor chuckled and stood up: "How can I dare to call myself the Tsar of Rus?" ”
Of course, the Rus nobles had never seen an oriental-style show, and they had never heard of the allusion of three invitations and three concessions, and when they heard Randy say this, they thought it was just Ivanov's own opinion, and they were immediately relieved.
Immediately afterwards, another voice came out among the Rus' people: "Your Majesty, please don't be humble, Ross and Norman are of the same language, and your Majesty is the Tsar of Rus' and no one is dissatisfied." ”
For a while, the Rus nobles looked left and right, and they didn't see who spoke just now, and no one was convinced? Joke! Everyone is not convinced! It's just that I didn't dare to say it, for fear that the Roman emperor would hold a grudge.
"Nope! I sent troops to Eastern Europe, just to eliminate the disaster of war, to save the people from fire and water, without selfishness, God can prove, how can I be honored? ”
In fact, Ivanov's role in the script is gone, Randy just wanted him to start at the beginning, and the next thing was left to the Norman spy, in fact, at the beginning, the Norman spy was not allowed to play, because this kind of thing should have been said by the Ross themselves at the beginning, but that's all, Randy didn't want it to have a bigger effect, but Ivanov's brain is indeed very flexible, Randy didn't tell him to continue, but seeing the smile on the corner of Randy's mouth, he understood Randy's true intentions, immediately jumped off the table and knelt in front of Randy, admonishing again.
"Your Majesty, what will happen to the whole of Eastern Europe, the whole world, if you do not accept the throne of the Tsar? It is as if there is no sun in the sky, and all the rivers of the earth are dried up, and the Rus' people would perish without your majesty. ”
"Gentlemen, this is to fall into the land of injustice!"
Randy looked up to the sky and sighed, retreating for the third time, the Rus looked left and right, and finally saw Ivanov kneeling on the ground alone, but Randy did use the plural in his words, and he really didn't know how long the Norman Emperor's eyes were.
But at this moment, a group of Rus nobles don't know what to do, but there are a group of people with higher IQ who want to understand the secret, and naturally they don't want Randy to claim the Rus Tsar, and then look around I don't know when they came, there are a circle of Norman soldiers standing next to them, with all the armor on their bodies, and the battle axes in their hands are shiny, staring at them one by one, presumably if something is wrong, the axe will definitely cut at them.
"Damn! I really didn't expect this guy to fall into a trap here! ”
For a while, most of the Rus' nobles immediately understood what was going on, and knew that this was a Hongmen banquet set up by Randy, which was arranged to force them to elect Randy as the Russian Tsar, and if they didn't agree, they were afraid that their lives would be in danger.
"Your Majesty's rule is comparable to Solomon's, the martial arts far surpass Alexander, and the rank of Rose Tsar is a matter of course!"
"Your Majesty doesn't come out, what can the common people do?"
"Your Majesty has made a decision early!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Under the coercion of the burly Norman warriors behind them, one by one Rus' nobles had to say such things against their will in order to survive, and kneel on one knee in the same way as Ivanov did before, proving that they had sworn allegiance to Randy.
"Hey! It's hard to resist my kindness! ”
Randy shook his head like this, and took two steps forward to pick up Ivanov first, and then lifted the Rus nobles one by one, Archbishop Peter immediately stepped forward, and several equally burly priests of the Battlefield Order came over with golden wine glasses full of spirits that had been prepared, and killed a chosen white lamb, seeping blood into the wine. ”
"Make a vow in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit under the gaze of God, and take the oath, everyone!" Peter said with a solemn and sacred face.
The Rus nobles have completely lost their minds now, and they are all kneeling, and they swear by it!
So one by one, they swore to the icon of Jehovah that although the Catholic Orthodox doctrine was different, it was not wrong that the boss of the worship was the same.
Seeing that these Rus' nobles drank blood wine one by one, the death knight Alpha came out again, holding a parchment scroll and pressing the handprints of the nobles as a witness.
The Rus' nobles were a little dissatisfied, they drank their own blood wine, and made an oath, so did they still have to sign a contract of sale?
They all hesitated, and finally Ivanov stepped forward and read the document aloud, and when the Rus nobles listened, there was not only the matter of promoting Randy as the Rus' Tsar, but also the determination of these nobles' territories, saying that the territories and titles of the Rus' nobles would be hereditary from generation to generation, and that Czar Randi would never let them suffer, etc.......
This is a standard, according to the feudal lord's rights and obligations system, some of the original unwritten rules are all standardized, and written into the written document, the Rus nobles thought, since this is the case, there is nothing wrong with this document, but they also took advantage of it, the oath was also issued, and it was nothing to sign.
The Ross nobles stepped forward to sign, and of course there were more illiterate guys, dipping their handprints in the mud and pressing their handprints, and Randy was a little touched when he saw this scene, and unconsciously made up a group of poor middle peasants in ragged clothes, where they borrowed usury from the landlord according to their fingerprints.
"What a shock!"
Randy felt a little moved for a moment, what is history? This is history, thousands of years later, there will inevitably be painters who will restore this scene with oil paintings, and nominate them as: the Rus nobles nominated Randy as Tsar, and then auctioned off tens of billions of Norman gold coins.
