Chapter 50 Three Rat-throwing Devices
Ancadiri came to Li Tianhao's mansion early in the morning to ask for a meeting, but the reply he got was that he had to wait for the meeting, which made Ancadiri angry, but he couldn't just go back empty-handed, so he could only sit down and wait hatefully.
In fact, Li Tianhao can't really be blamed for this, because Li Tianhao, who is usually used to getting up early, hasn't gotten up at all today. In fact, just last night, Li Tianhao was faced with a major choice -- after learning of his order, there were serious differences of opinion among his subordinates.
The generals who were originally subordinate to the Tiers rebel army unanimously supported Li Tianhao's handling methods, and in their opinion, it was time to teach this group of apologists composed of unknown nobles and gangsters a good lesson, so that they could have some scruples in the future; However, the generals of Palci, led by the Captain Horondis, held a different view, believing that these nobles were a headache, but they were an indispensable part of the structure and governance of the Palchi state, and that if they were punished, they would undoubtedly be an insult to the entire Palchi nobles, and that they would be enemies of the entire Palchi nobles, which would not only be very detrimental to the Tiers Lords, but would also seriously damage the prestige of King Arul. One of the reasons why they would say this was that two of the more than seven hundred people had special status, one was Viscount Emirda, the nephew of the old Marquis Quinta of Parchi; The other was Andorra, the eldest son of the Count of Courant, and the two families that had existed since the founding of Palci were of great importance to the nobility, so Horondis thought that it was necessary to open up the net to avoid serious consequences.
Another captain, Hector, agreed, but for a slightly different reason. What he was worried about was that many of the 25,000 Palchi troops led by Li Tianhao were side branches of the nobles or the children of the declining nobles, if they broke with the nobles. It is difficult to predict what kind of changes will occur in the hearts of this part of the soldiers, if the originally united Palchi army becomes a detachment of troops. After that, the battle will become difficult.
In addition to the senior generals in the Palci army, Aki's generals Brooks and Wenchen Bodka expressed the same concerns. Although Li Tianhao has severely cracked down on the Yaki nobles who do evil, he can't do this if it is for the nobles of his allies, if there is the threat of Yaki in front of him and the opposition of the Palchi nobles in the back, it will be much more difficult to govern or fight. Even Grenas agrees.
Faced with a dilemma, Li Tianhao made a difficulty, if he ignored the law and forgave the two nobles, then it would be tantamount to recognizing that the nobles had privileges, but the result of impartially enforcing the law would leave countless hidden dangers. However, Wei Song was not around at this time, so he couldn't listen to his opinion. The news that the public trial will be held in three days has been issued, how can the matter be handled satisfactorily? Until late at night, no satisfactory result was discussed, and Li Tianhao could only announce the adjournment of the meeting and go back to rest for the time being.
In fact, Li Tianhao couldn't fall asleep at all, fidgeting in the house, but he couldn't make up his mind. Seeing his irritable appearance, even Alam didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only let him continue to struggle in the quagmire of a dilemma.
Until the second half of the night. Li Tianhao was still the same, pacing back and forth in the house. At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him, and someone stepped into his house.
"What people! out" Li Tianhao turned around and was about to roar, when he suddenly found that the person standing in front of him turned out to be the second secretary Tia. I could only swallow back the words that came to my mouth.
"Why are you here?" Li Tianhao sat back in his chair and asked.
Tia sighed: "It's my turn to be on duty today, but someone doesn't sleep at night and plays in circles around the house, and I don't know if he will give a new order." That's bad luck for me, so I have to wait. ”
"Yes, yes. That's really sorry. You can go and rest. ”
Tia took out a food box from behind her back and said, "You're late." Because I'm already hungry, I have a late-night snack in the kitchen, and I have to finish it even if I have to rest. Would you like to eat a little together? ”
Li Tianhao shrank back when he heard this: "I'm not hungry." ”
"Then it's up to you, you don't mind if I eat here." Tia said so, but sat down opposite Li Tianhao, and then took out the snacks in the food box one by one.
Li Tianhao looked at her actions and sighed: "Please." ”
Tia broke the food into small pieces and elegantly placed it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. Li Tianhao really couldn't think about it anymore this time, because under the light of the lights, the blonde-haired Tia was like the goddess of the sea who flashed golden waves.
Tia swallowed the food slowly and said, "What are you worried about?" Is it just for the sake of how to deal with the two noble lords? ”
Li Tianhao nodded.
Tia sneered: "Are you still the same Li Tianhao when I first met?" Who was it in front of me at that time that he made a big fuss about the nobles and made them worthless? Who said that the aristocracy of Dils should be swept away and a free country should be created?
Of course I won't agree with you, how can there be so good for nothing among the nobility? But at the time, your approach was embraced by the slaves and commoners of Dils, as well as by the bandits. What's that for? Because they really feel that you have brought them a better life.
Joining forces with Palci will certainly strengthen your military and political power, but it will make you timid, and you will be complacent, because there are more and more forces to be afraid of.
Who are you? You are the evil thief Li Tianhao! It's a demon in the eyes of the Yaki nobles! I don't know if your hesitant hesitation will please your new allies, I just know that you will disappoint your old friends like this! If you can't please your new allies no matter what you do, why not just satisfy your old friends first? It's better to have only half of the people supporting you than all of them, right? Do you need someone else to teach you such a simple math problem? Of course, I'd love to see you, the heinous bastard thief, fail in the end. ”
Tia let out a sigh of relief, and then continued to eat her supper.
Li Tianhao stayed where he was, looking at her in a daze. I didn't even notice that Tia had changed a lot in the past two years, and her sensitivity to politics was vastly different from before. After a while, a smile appeared on Li Tianhao's face. From the eyes of Alam, who had been standing guard at the gate, it was a completely unbridled smile, just like the look he had when he had just stepped out of the Tiers Mountains and talked to Elda in Port Portsmo about the destruction of the country of Yaqui.
"Thank you," Li Tianhao looked at Tia, picked up a small piece of bread and said, "Now I'm hungry too." Well, there's no wine, Alam, go get a pot of wine, find some more to eat, and the three of us will eat together! ”
Tia raised her head and said, "If you work overtime, you have to pay double the salary." ”
"Your proposal is worth ten times your salary." Li Tianhao said while eating.
This supper was eaten until the sky turned white, and then Li Tianhao went to bed peacefully. When Ancadiri arrived, Lee had just fallen asleep, so Alam refused to wake him up, for which Ancadiri waited for four hours. (To be continued......)
