"In this way, the lord's trouble is indeed not small." High Priest Khambagir said slowly with his eyes closed.

The seventy-one-year-old high priest is not tall, slightly fat, with a kind look and a deep magnetic voice, which has an irresistible power for any believer, but unfortunately Li Tianhao is not a believer in Amun God. Beneath the good skin of the old priest lived a filthy cobra in his eyes, for according to Shagora's intelligence, the High Priest of Khambagir was an important, if not the mastermind of the plot. And as a servant of God, he has always been hiding behind the scenes, and may even have hidden the eyes of Airul IX, if this is not the case, then it is possible that he and Airul have joined forces to set a trap for themselves, which is the worst imaginable, but it is by no means impossible. Therefore, Li Tianhao's visit this time is far from being as peaceful and peaceful as it seems, and what the other party's intentions are still needs to be further explored.

Standing behind Li Tianhao, Alam looked a little nervous, he instinctively felt the danger of the situation around him, and his right hand was always on the hilt of the sword and never let go. Originally, no one was allowed to accompany him to the meeting with the High Priest, but Alam's intransigence and murderous aura deterred everyone who stopped him, and as a result, he and Eglius were allowed to accompany him.

In contrast, Eglius looked calmer, perhaps because his reaction was more sluggish, Eglius stood behind Li Tianhao with a relaxed face, and looked up from time to time to admire the surrounding decorations. It may be because of his curious expression that the atmosphere in the room has been softened, otherwise Arram's posture alone would have made people think that two groups of people were negotiating. So. Alam had a vague feeling that Eglius had deliberately played such a role.

Li Tianhao paused and said, "As Your Excellency said." The dissatisfaction of the nobles with Zai Xia is gradually accumulating, and if Xia continues to achieve results in the war against Yaki. I'm afraid that this dissatisfaction will continue to add up. In the long run, it will inevitably lead to a confrontation with the nobles, and the internal worries will outweigh the external troubles, and if Palchi falls apart, it will not only give Yaki an opportunity to take advantage of, but also bring deep disasters to Palchi. Even if it doesn't evolve to such a situation, it will affect the operation on the front line, and no matter how you look at it, it will not do Palci any good. Unfortunately, I can't think of a solution with my poor wisdom, so I made a special visit to you and asked for your help with your wisdom. It also helped Palci through this crisis. ”

Kumbagir opened one eye and looked at Li Tianhao, and then closed it again: "This kind of worldly thing is really not something that a person who serves the gods like Lao Yu should ask about, if the lord is upset, he can talk to Lao Yu, if he says that he wants to use Lao Yu's wisdom, I'm afraid it will not be human." ”

I'm afraid you've long been trapped in worldly power and can't extricate yourself. Li Tianhao said secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Please don't shirk Your Excellency, and give Parch a bright future like the god Amun shining on all beings." ”

Khambagir paused for a moment, then opened his eyes and said slowly: "Old decay and old wisdom, if the lord must help the lord, I am afraid that the advice given by the lord will not satisfy the lord." ”

"You're being too modest. Please instruct me and listen to you. ”

Khambagir shifted his body slightly, and said, "Most of the nobles have not practiced warfare for many years, although they themselves have some training in martial arts. But this kind of martial art can only be used in the arena, and it can't be used on the battlefield. Therefore, even if they are interested in following your lord, you in the crusade against Yaqui, I am afraid that it will not help you much. It will also cause you trouble. Therefore, the old man thought that it was unrealistic to force them to go to the battlefield together to establish meritorious deeds and gain more fiefdoms. The nobles valued honor, but they were not capable of achieving it from the battlefield. and ashamed to be in the same company with the nobles who have risen up by virtue of their military exploits, then the dissatisfaction in their hearts will naturally accumulate more and more. Otherwise, the lord only needs to satisfy their sense of honor, and their resentment towards you will disappear. ”

"You're right, but you don't know how to do it."

Kumbagir waved his hand and said, "Lord Lord, don't worry. The old man has an idea for the lord to consider. Except for the Dils, the two gods are worshipped by the people of the two places, and neither of them will give in to the differences in doctrine, even if the Dils have been ruled by the Aki for so many years. Now that the regions of Napatis and Epsmilton were part of Palci, the religious question must have been an inevitable problem for the lord when he governed these areas. As the ruler of Parci, it is natural that he should build temples to serve the god Amun in the area under his control, so that the light of the god Amun can shine on every inch of Parchi. ”

"But if you do this, it will infringe on the beliefs of the local people, and I am afraid that it will cause unrest." Li Tianhao said bluntly that such a move to deprive the local people of their freedom of belief is worse than depriving them of their freedom of life, and it is bound to cause greater resistance. This move by Konbagir was purely for the sake of expanding his power, and as a result, the newly incorporated territory of Palchi would be in chaos. It is for this reason that the rulers of Yaqui did not forcibly change the beliefs of the people of the Dils Mountains.

The corners of Khambagir's mouth twitched slightly, then he returned to his original state and continued, "Lord Lord, I am very worried, this is indeed a possibility. But that doesn't stop us from spreading the right doctrine throughout Palci. Therefore, the old man suggested that these nobles should involve their own personal armies and set up an apologetic armed force to ensure that our priests could spread the teachings safely and smoothly. In this way, the nobles will become holy warriors to spread the will of God, which will be the supreme glory, which will be enough to appease their grievances, and at the same time make them stand on the same side as you, and every newly acquired land will become a place for holy warriors to fight, and the whole country of Palci will be unparalleled, so that the worries of the lord will be solved. ”

Li Tianhao lowered his head silently, looking like he was deep in thought. But in reality, he did this to prevent him from seeing that his blue eyes had turned purple, because the anger in his heart was burning: Khambagir was really a cunning fellow, and he not only wanted to take advantage of the discontent of the nobles to expand his sphere of influence and build temples in new territories; He also sought to acquire his own personal armed forces, using the private armies of the nobles for his own use, to become a priestly army in his personal service; In this way, he will not only be the spokesman of the god Amun, but also the de facto leader of the nobles, and after mastering the armed forces, he will become the third largest force after King Irul and Li Tianhao! What is even more infuriating is that in order to achieve this goal, he completely ignores the chaos that will be caused by doing so - the private armies of the nobles are nothing in terms of combat effectiveness, but they are more than enough to use this force against ordinary civilians, and these private armies are best at persecuting unarmed ordinary people, and if they are called holy warriors, then God knows what kind of trouble they will cause! The new order established by Li Tianhao in the new territory may be completely destroyed as a result, and when the time comes, it will cause a popular uprising, and it will definitely not be this group of holy warriors who will clean up the mess but his own army.

Li Tianhao pondered for a long time, raised his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for your suggestion, it is really the best of both worlds, and I will go back and report to His Majesty the King in the future, and ask Your Majesty to complete this matter." ”

After speaking, Li Tianhao raised the wine glass that had not been touched since the beginning and now, and drank the wine in one gulp. (To be continued......)
