Section 113 The debate between Beirong and his son
Beirong is the latest new empire to appear on the mainland, and a few decades ago, the land of Beirong was still composed of many tribal alliances, which attacked each other and fought each other, and the tribal people were in a state of misery. At that time, the most powerful was the Huairou tribe, they were located on the banks of the Huairou River, with the most fertile land and tribes, and often plundered and burned the surrounding tribes, causing the anger of many tribes. The Chuxun tribe united with the Agutai tribe and the Moria tribe to form a tribal alliance to confront the Huairou tribe, and the two sides were evenly matched, and this pattern was maintained for nearly a hundred years.
Thirty years ago, in the year 441 of the Nato calendar, the Agutai tribe received assistance from the Tubis people in the western part of the continent, who practiced the spear skills of the Knight people and formed a powerful new army of pikes using the gold coins and leather sent by the Tobes. Subsequently, the Agutai tribe expanded independently, conquering many weak tribes in the north, occupying the Zhan region in the northeast and the Mohan region in the north, and encircling the Huairou tribe in the middle river region with the Chuxun tribe on the south side.
Subsequently, the Agutai tribe attacked frequently, constantly encroaching on the land of the Huairou tribe, and finally the spear army of Agutai invaded Huairou City and completely conquered the Huairou tribe. At that time, the tribal leader of Agutai was Akuta IX, who was known for his savagery and ferocity in Beijung. After conquering Huairou, he imposed a policy of extermination on Huairou, which caused panic among all other tribes in Beijung.
At that time, the leader of the Chuxun tribe was Dibas's father, and he was afraid of the strong pikemen of the Agutai tribe, and he was worried that the Chuxun tribe would fall into the fate of the Huairou tribe, so he took the initiative to surrender to Agutai IX, and soon the Molia tribe and all other weak tribes followed suit. In the end, Aguta IX completed the unification of the land of Beijung and successfully established Beijung, the third largest empire on the mainland.
Today's Beijung is ruled by the forty-year-old Agutai X, and the Agutai tribe has become the supreme royal family of the empire. Dibas, the leader of the Chuxun tribe, is the first important minister of the empire, and Dibas's status in the Beirong Empire is like Connor, the first duke of the old knight kingdom, and he is the real pillar of the Beirong Empire.
It's just that the empire is still very young, and it is still composed of many tribes inside, and a unified Beijung nation has not yet been formed, and there are still many unstable factors in various parts of the empire. For example, the Duke of Aitolo of the Agutai tribe, who has always regarded himself as the elder of the royal family, has always wanted to replace Agutai X. Dibas, the leader of the Chuxun tribe, was far-sighted and had grand plans and goals in his heart, as did the tribal leader of Moria, Duke Mike. For the sake of the future of the clan, these two people waited to see the current situation, as the first and third powerful forces in Beirong, they checked and balanced each other with the king and the Duke of Aitolo, and maintained the current imperial rule.
The Chuxun tribe with the largest number of tribes was originally the most powerful in the empire, but with the establishment of the new knights, this was undoubtedly a tiger for the Chuxun tribe, and the balance of power within the empire was completely broken.
Dibas, the leader of the Chuxun tribe, was the king's most trusted person, and for many years he assisted the king in governing Beijung to resolve various disputes and contradictions, and the king relied on him very much. This time, the new army of the two major knights all fell under the command of Dibas, and the Duke of Ettolo, who was a member of the royal family, vaguely felt uneasy. He met with the king in private three times, but the merit of Aguta X deepened his suspicion of Ettolo, and not only ordered him to return to the territory of Agutai to garrison, but also made him at any time at the disposal of the imperial minister Dibas, and he was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission.
Returning to Agutai, Etolo was very angry, and he denounced the corruption and incompetence of Agutai X every day, and had a premonition that the end of the royal family was imminent. Soon he wrote a letter to Adili, who was stationed in Haocheng, telling him about the matter, and privately inviting him to speak for His Majesty and dissuade him from changing the two heads of the Knights.
Adili was the representative of the Beijung Empire's army, and he was also a member of the Agutai tribe, and was the most reliable close confidant of the king. After receiving Etolo's letter, the clever Adili immediately saw Ettolo's dissatisfaction with the king, and although he felt that it was a little inappropriate to let Chu Xun's man be the head of the two new knights, he felt that Etolo was the biggest threat to the empire.
Etolo had clamored for the promotion of King Agutai a few years earlier, but the king never agreed. The Beijon Empire has never had a royal reward, because this supreme right is generally only awarded to the king's closest brother. However, the king has no brothers, and Aitolo is just a distant relative in the same bloodline, and the kinship is far beyond three generations, and he can't climb the emperor's relatives, so this prince Aguta X is unwilling to reward him.
For Adili, although he was stationed in Haocheng territory, he knew everything about the affairs of the empire. From the content of Aitolo's letter to himself, Adili saw Aitolo's wolf ambitions and concluded that his ultimate goal was to replace His Majesty. Adili had always been the most loyal to the king, and he did not hesitate to send a letter to the king for the future of the empire, reminding him to pay more attention to the restless members of his people.
After receiving Adili's letter, Aguta X was furious, and if it was someone else who said this to him, he would naturally disdain it, but as a fellow clansman and his own cronies, Aguta X firmly believed in this. Soon Dibas was summoned to the inner courtyard of the palace, where Akuta X met alone with his imperial minister to listen to his judgments and advice.
In Dibas's heart, he has a firm belief that he will do his best to seek the best interests of the people, until one day the Chuxun tribesmen can become the masters of Beirong. To accomplish this, there are many roadblocks in front of Dibas. The first to restrain himself was the high-ranking Adili, but Adili held the imperial army in his hands, and it was still too early to deal with Adili. The second is the strong support and support of the Aguta royal family to the king, if you can take the opportunity to deal with the Duke of Aitolo to weaken the power of the royal family, this is undoubtedly a great thing for the Chuxun people.
So Dibas pushed the boat along the way, not only did he not say good things for Aitolo, but he counted the sins of Aitolo to the king over the years, and suggested that the king punish the Duke of Aitolo as soon as possible, otherwise there would be endless troubles.
Seeing that his two most trusted imperial ministers said this, Aguta X finally made up his mind. The king then issued an order to demote the Duke of Etolo and re-crown him as the Count of the Empire, and the fief was still Agutai, but under the command of Dibas.
Dibas is a powerful man, but he doesn't have any knighthood in the Empire, and to be precise, he is not as good as the youngest baron. It's just that Dibas is the highest civil official in the empire, like the prime minister of a country, so his identity is the most special in the empire.
However, Ettolo, who originally dreamed of becoming the prince of the empire, not only did not get his wish, but lost the duke's throne and was demoted to an inconspicuous earl, and even let a Dibas, who did not have any title, control himself. This feeling of falling from the sky to the ground will never be acceptable to Ettolo, who hates the king and Adili, and even hates Dibas, who has always been against him.
After returning to Chuxun, Dibas never dreamed that he would be taught a lesson by his own son.
After learning that his father suggested that the king punish the Duke of Ettolo, Cerdan angrily rebuked his father Dibas: "The Tubis have wiped out the knightly kingdom, and most of the Knight territory has now become the territory of the Tobis people, and we can see that the Tobis are fully capable of unifying the continent in the first war of Cobilon." Now the Tubisi people who threaten us are in front of us, and for the sake of the future of the empire, now we have to unite the whole country with the outside world, which is the only way out for our Beijung. The king didn't know how grim the situation was outside, and as courtiers, we should dissuade the king from dealing with the relationship between the various factions in the empire in the first place. But at such a critical time, how can you give Lord Etolo a rock? β
This is the first time that Dibas has seen his son dare to speak so loudly to himself, but as an important minister of the empire, he is naturally the most reasonable person. Dibas was not as brutal as Cologne did to his son, and he patiently explained to Cheldan: "Our Chuxun tribe has always been the largest of the various forces of the empire, and the tribesmen are also the largest, so why let a corrupt and mediocre Agutai rule us?" What did he do for the Empire? The various departments of our empire donated more than 200,000 gold coins for the formation of the Imperial Knights, and as a result, he took 50,000 gold coins to form the Knights, and he squandered the rest of the money himself. What qualifications does an incompetent and mediocre guy like this have to be the king of my Beijon? β
Killan obviously knew very little about the Empire's last secrets, and he didn't expect that the king's greed had reached an outrageous level, and he would even reach out and take most of the donations for the formation of the Knights. But Cerdan still replied: "The king is incompetent, which requires the concerted efforts of the courtiers, and we can dissuade or suggest it many times." Could it be that the king is at fault, and we will force him to abdicate and replace him? So what if it's not good to replace it with one? βγ
Dibas replied calmly: "Child, you are still young, many things are not as simple as you think, in this world, only the strong can survive forever." Didn't you just say that the Tubis destroyed the knight kingdom? How powerful the knight kingdom was a hundred years ago, but what was the result? If you just stand still and blindly enjoy decadence, sooner or later you will be surpassed by your enemies, and this is the reason why the knight kingdom will be destroyed. He was invincible in the world before he fought the pikes, but what was it in front of the knightly army of the Knights? I can stand here today and say these words to you, and you should cherish this opportunity. Because if one day I am eradicated by the enemies of our empire, who will tell you these truths, and who will care about your life and death? β
Adamhan, who was standing on the side, also opened his mouth to persuade Qildan and said, "Brother, don't make the leader angry, the leader is also doing this for our Chuxun people." That Etolo has always tried every means to deal with our Chu Xun, and now the king has ordered him to be punished, which means that even the king has not liked him, and this kind of person should be punished. β
After listening to Adamhan's words, Cerdan sighed and said: "With Aitolo's temper and character, the king treats him like this, and if he is not forced to hurry, he may make a desperate rebellion, so that our national strength will be consumed in the civil war again, and what will we do to resist the attack of the Tubis in the future." β
Dibas sneered, "Hehe, the attack of the Tubis? Whether the Tubis can successfully occupy those Knight territories depends on whether they can deal with the Knight people in the occupied land, and when they attack our Beirong, I don't know what year and month it will be. In my opinion, that Wakas may not have the idea of wanting to be the king of Tubis, and the reshuffle of countries is a matter of God's destiny. If he Aitolo is unwilling to rebel, then we have to thank this greedy guy for taking the opportunity to exterminate their Aguta tribe, and in the future, we will be able to take charge of it alone in Beirong. β
Killan frowned and asked, "Father, you can't make a slap in the face." If the Agutai tribe declines, the strength of our Beirong will be greatly reduced, and what good can this do to our empire and our Chuxun? β
Dibas sneered, stretched out his hand and slapped it vigorously and said, "Isn't it loud, I see that a person slaps too loudly." I warn you that although you are the son of my Dibas, if one day I find out that you have betrayed our Chuxun tribe, you will not blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and son. β
After saying that, Dibas angrily shook his sleeves and left, leaving Cerdan speechless and looking lost.
Seeing that Killan was very uncomfortable, Adamhan comforted Dibas and said, "Okay, what can I do if my father reprimands me a few words." This is for our people and for your own good, so why do you need to be angry with the leader? β
Cherdan sighed slightly: "Hey, you don't understand it." Everything must focus on the overall situation, if the empire does not exist, what is the use of leaving us Chu Xun! β
Adamhan shook his head again and again after hearing this, he obviously couldn't understand what Killan was worried about, only Chu Xun was the king of the land of Nira, what was wrong with this?
Dibas, who pretended to leave, hid behind the door and listened to Cerdan's words, he continued to leave with a cold smile, and kept sighing in his heart: Hey, Cerdan, this kid, his character is too naΓ―ve and simple, and he only thinks about loyalty to the empire in his heart. Even if you have established a world-famous military exploit for the empire, if one day the king is unhappy, you may lose your life at any time as a courtier. In this era of the jungle, being a loyal hero is more secure than turning over and sitting on the master.
