"What is the state of John and Brenus now? I don't remember any of their previous grievances. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "The emperor was angry and puzzled.

The explanation given by the Imperial Ink Officer is that the prince and His Royal Highness Brenus are each given too many political attributes, so it is normal for different people to treat them as brightly colored military flags.

"So what do I do?"

In this regard, the chief steward "Little Bird", whose eyes were still rotten and swollen, and whose face was even more gloomy and pale (because of his own nephew's affairs), suggested that His Majesty should not take sides in the struggle between the two factions, but he must not stay out of the matter, and must use the power of arbitration to prove that he is the emperor chosen by his subjects and lords, and turn disadvantages into advantages.

"Send an official to punish Brenus, so that he must send enough food to Tetisius, and at the same time announce that Tetisius's new army, the captured Anglasburg, will be included in the formation of the Brenus Military District." The Emperor's answer satisfied the Imperial Ink Officer and the Imperial Wardrobe Chief, "What about the conflict between Raymond and Guillaume and Conrad?" ”

In this regard, Myles sarcastically mocked the emperor before replying, saying, "The servants have warned Your Majesty in advance that it is okay to use the pilgrims, but you can't overly nurture Raymond, an ambitious fellow!" ”

Alexios also apologized and repented for the reprimand of the Imperial Ink Officer, saying, "This is indeed a big deal."

Seeing that the emperor also recognized his mistake, the imperial ink officer and the little bird discussed with each other in a low voice, and gave an extremely "Byzantine" precision checks and balances:

1. Dismantle the new army of the prince in disguise, and put the Count of Blois and the Count of Normandy into the "Frank. The Norman Lancer Regiment was under the direct jurisdiction of the Empire, and the mobilization and operation of the "Lancer Regiment" had to be ordered by the Brachner Palace, and the emperor was responsible for military pay and equipment, which was to weaken the prince's momentum;

2. Although the corps belonged to the Emperor, the official titles of the two counts were assigned to Raymond by the Emperor, who imitated the political method of the Franks, and gave the two counts the titles of "Count of Peveral" and "Count of Germanico" respectively, and the two castles existed as fiefs, and these two were nominally under the jurisdiction of the "Count of Laudisia", so that the emperor also "fulfilled" his previous promise to increase the number of mines for Raymond in disguise, "but it was only added to your command, not to you";

3. Raymond's Laudician fiefdom remains unchanged, these three Western counts all hold high positions of privy counsel in the Empire, are not subordinate to any military region, and are independent and equal to each other, and are directly responsible to the emperor, and the three fortresses are not only monitoring each other, but also each is in the first line of monitoring Gawain (under the supervision of Stephen, Count of Germanico), Theodoro (under Robert) and Brenus (under Raymond), and are the three stakes for the emperor to drive into Asia Minor;

4. Remove Mikhail from his present post and return to the imperial capital as commander of the outer palace guard (which the bird begged so hard for), and put the Bithynia and Brasilon districts under the command of the veteran Harold, and re-establish the Paphragonia district under the control of the emperor's close guards sent from the capital—in addition, the emperor and the two conspired to find a reason to remove General Kosa from South Opshkin after the rebellion in the west had been quelled, because "he was incompetent and had a close relationship with Brenus, and would instigate my son-in-law";

Fifth, there was also a "plan for the future" for Prince John, and the emperor recognized his achievements in Thessali and Moria, but he had to ask him to form a new army and bring Tetisius and Theognes under his command, and the emperor's idea was that "after three years, the new army would be completely brought under the direct jurisdiction of the empire, and the prince would be transferred back to the imperial capital to serve as my deputy to govern the emperor, and then focus on the governance of internal affairs and justice", as for Tetisius and Diognis, they would also "break up and take office and show their strengths" at that time;

6. To Theodoro, the Emperor conferred on him the official title of "Governor of Chaldia", instigated him and Gawain to divide the territory of Danishmund, and demanded the establishment of a chamber of commerce and a wharf for Pisa and Relaya in Trabzon, and continued to vigorously open the "Sivas Trade Road" and the Mint to facilitate the Emperor's pumping of water therein;

7. As for Gawain, the emperor only allowed him to occupy the area of Kayseri and Nazah, and the rest of the territory was "not allowed to be conquered at will."

In this way, the emperor quickly ordered the imperial ink officials to copy a copy of each and send it to their respective people.

Soon the reactions of all parties came out, the prince, Tetisius, Theodoro, and Mikhail all expressed their acquiescence and obedience, and Raymond, although at first he did not understand and was dissatisfied, remembered that the emperor had given him the holy city of Lautericia and had allocated money to him to build a temple dedicated to the holy spear, so he was willing to settle the matter, and in his letters to the Holy See and Île-de-France, he claimed that "in the battle of Gangara, General Counsellor Vallo was desperate for his life and finally died in battle." ”

For the time being, it was the Brenus couple, who received her father's "Seven Orders" and immediately closed the door and discussed with her little husband.

"Now it seems that my father became suspicious and suspicious of us. After all, Brenus's family is close to many of the great nobles in the imperial capital......" Dedo held the letter, her eyes wandering.

In the opposite seat, Brenus insisted that there should be no need to "oppose John in any way".

But his wife clearly didn't think so, "What's the use of taking Anglas the military district that you've assigned to you?" Soon my father will send more tax collectors to collect all the proceeds, and we will have nothing left. ”

Brenus felt that Dedot was now close to going berserk, and that he could hardly dissuade him, so he simply asked his wife what to do.

"Your family has a vast estate and wealth in the region of Drasium, and you don't have to depend on anyone else for your wealth. Since my father did not allow us to have power in this land, he simply did not ask for it, but distributed the land of the whole army to the peasant and landlords of Plonia, and made good friends with them, so as to win the hearts of the people, because it is easier to encircle a group of nobles than to please all the lowly people, for for the nobles we only need to protect their vested interests, and for the lowly people we have to break down all the barriers, which is not advisable. "This is Dedo's plan," In addition, firmly grasp the power of the Dirasium Military Region, and set up eyeliner in the Brachna Palace to cultivate cronies. ”

After saying that, Dai Duo sat on her husband's lap, her delicate red lips close to his beard, and whispered, "Little husband, don't have any fear or worry, because we are not dealing with our father, and everything we are doing is not a danger to the empire at all, but just a far-sighted investment in the future of our husband and wife and our own children." ”

"Yes, yes." Brenús's expression stiffened slightly.

"Then, since my father's paperwork has been sent, we can also send a secret envoy to my sister and Gawain......," Dai Duo's mouth curled and she laughed. (To be continued.) )
