Chapter Eighty-Six: The Exhortator

The news that Dikar II had promised to protect Prince Gilmus was tightly controlled, but there was no impermeable wall in the world, and the news spread quietly in the Arubanian court, and finally reached the ears of the great general Adlem.

At the age of fifty-three, Adham is already a veteran for a military general. This man of martial arts skills was inexplicably not promoted to general until the age of forty, mainly due to his withdrawn personality, aversion to interpersonal interactions, and an unforgiving tongue, so there were very few people among his colleagues who liked Adlem, and the commanders deliberately ignored this man who might climb on his head. Until eight years ago, the war between Arubania and Yaki was completely lost, losing dozens of generals and hundreds of thousands of horses, and seeing that the entire Diqir Sea region was already in danger, at this time, he single-handedly successfully stopped the attack of Yaqui's army, and finally forced Yaki to withdraw his troops, thus saving the biggest crisis since the founding of Arubania. As a result, Adlerum jumped from a cold bench general who everyone did not want to see to a big hero who saved the country, and there was a serious shortage of operational command talents in Arubania, Adlerm climbed to the highest peak of a martial artist overnight and became the general of Arubania. This is a position that attracts countless jealousies in the eyes of anyone, but Adlem has only one comment on this: "I am just a lucky person who rose to power through the sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of Arubanian soldiers and wingmen".

It was precisely because of Aderim's undesirable personality that after he took over the position of general, the king also stayed away from him. If it weren't for the fact that he was tasked with reviving the Arubanian Army, I am afraid that he would be completely alienated.

In fact, under Adlerham's efforts. After eight years of recuperation, Adlem's military strength had been restored, but all that was lacking was the newly promoted generals and the practical experience of commanding large armies. As a result, dependence on Adlerham has been greatly reduced since Dikar II succeeded to the throne. Moreover, he was very jealous of the great general who held the military power to support his succession, and just got off the donkey and began to alienate him, trying to gradually control his military power into his own hands.

If it were any other general, he would have shown strong displeasure, if not because of this, but Adlem had a nonchalant expression, and it was a blessing for him to be able to relieve this burden, because he would have more time to stay at home to read a book or to savor the various wines his wife had made for him.

When Adlem learns this secret from his son Arufa. A mouthful of secret fruit wine that had just been poured into his mouth squirted out.

Arufa calmly watched his father's overreaction and slowly wiped away the wine stains sprayed on his body.

"Ah, ah, I'm sorry, son." Adlem said with some embarrassment.

"It's so unsteady at a great age," complained his wife, Mihair, "and wasted the wine I made for you." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please make another glass of the same," Adlem apologized, then turned to his son and said, "Is His Majesty crazy?" Doesn't he understand what kind of person Li Tianhao is? Isn't his attitude towards the extermination of the Yaki royal family enough to prove that he wants to wipe Yaki off the face of the face completely? Prince Asylum Yaki will surely invite Palci's hostilities and even war! ”

Arufa calmly wiped the last stain of wine. "Father, I don't think Your Majesty doesn't know the consequences of doing this, but he wants to take this opportunity to train our generals so that they can take your place as soon as possible." ”

Adlem rolled his eyes at his son. said: "If that's the case, then it's good, I can return to the field with peace of mind." But these lads are still too young to suffer a great loss in the face of the battle-hardened Palci army! ”

"My son thinks it's not bad. In this way, His Majesty will understand the importance of you, Father. Anyway, it won't do you any harm to your father. ”

"It's different! Arubania will once again be in the midst of a series of wars! The people have not fully recovered from the trauma of the war with Yaqui. Do you want to let them step into hell again? Adlem stood up and said angrily.

At this time, Mihair, who was on the side, spoke: "Husband, although your starting point is very good. But His Majesty has already promised to protect Prince Aki, so are you not going to persuade His Majesty to retract his life? It would be unwise to do so. ”

"Yes, father, His Majesty the King has been estranged from you in the first place, and if you use this reason to advise Your Majesty at this time, Your Majesty will think even more that you are dissatisfied with the deprivation of military power, and will not give the new generals the opportunity to experience to replace you."

Adlem shook his long sleeves and sighed, "I still don't understand this?" But as a courtier of Arubania, how could he sit idly by and watch the country fall into turmoil? Even if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are unwilling to come out of this, at least someone has to go and say their objections to His Majesty, so that His Majesty knows that it is wrong to do so now! ”

"I'm afraid that you will only anger Your Majesty by doing so, and Your Majesty will never accept your advice in order to protect his own face, father." Arufa grabbed his father, who was about to take the door.

Adlem could have pushed his son away, but he didn't, but sighed faintly and said, "At least try, if you try, there is hope." Otherwise, I don't know how many young people like you will die on the battlefield. ”

In the end, Arufa was unable to stop his father's move, but things were not as bad as he expected, because Adlem was not received by His Majesty at all, but resigned due to his busy state affairs.

But Adrim did not give up his efforts, and he continued to ask to see His Majesty for several days, and the courtiers were so diligent in asking for an audience with the great general, who was usually reluctant to appear in court, but their main interest was in speculating on the reasons for his sudden change of attitude, rather than on the right or wrong of the matter itself.

Unfortunately, Aderum's efforts were in vain, and he was very frustrated that more than a dozen of his requests for a meeting were rejected by the king for half a month. In fact, the king did not summon any courtiers for the past ten days, because Dikar II was obsessed with Prince Gilmus's "mother" Sulla every day, and Sulla's perfect bed kung fu made him want to stop. With this relationship, His Royal Highness Prince Gilmus has finally taken root in Arubania. (To be continued.) )
