At this time, Melo stood up slowly and said, "I still agree with Bramson's idea." ”

Next to him, Branas and Walter were relatively silent, and the general secretary always stood beside Gawain without making a sound, so when he was the head of the camp, it was actually equivalent to when Gawain's military deputy spoke, the entire venue was silent.

Anna was so pleased with the timing and state of the camp manager that she even moved the huge back of Gawain in front of the curtain twice, and asked his good comrades to recount their valuable insights.

"If it is only to pacify the local Jinat nobles as the starting point, I personally think that it is not so important to accept or not accept the title of the Grand Duke." Merlot spoke fluently and calmly, "If you accept the title, you can certainly use this official title to do many cheap things, but on the other hand, we are also shackled to the existing system of the empire, and once the emperor infiltrates the power, why do we think that the local Genat will follow the orders of the grand duke to fight, and will not accept the emperor's bribe and launch a greater rebellion against the junta!" Could it be that among the imperial officials, the Grand Duke is more important than the Emperor's orders? ”

Immediately, many generals expressed their admiration for the insightful views of the camp manager, "Don't hesitate! Bramson reiterated his appeal.

And there was applause behind the curtain, Gawain looked back, Anna after the light veil had bright eyes, winked at himself, and probably signaled that he would agree to the plan of the camp manager as soon as possible: to resign from the royal title and establish the country independently-what kind of title and banner, carry me to the couch, and let me be your wife. It's all - I'm a glorious combination of Ducasse and Komnenos.

Now, she saw Gawain turn his head. To Merlot and the others, he announced, "The plan of the camping master. It really makes a lot of sense, so now please raise your hands and say goodbye, and if you agree with Wesat, please raise your fingers. ”

Melo took the lead with his middle and index fingers and raised them high, followed by Bramson, Biller and Walter, who followed the crowd, and responded one after another: Andro Odat, the official of the heraldic order, involuntarily looked behind the curtain. Although Anna did not make any movement there, her eyes were already locked on her, and she could not help but break out in a cold sweat, and then looked at His Excellency the General who stood on the steps with his whole loyalty, and shook his heart very conflictedly, and finally stretched out his hand and put his five fingers down—indicating that the young man had abstained.

In the end, Giovanni was the only one, and he clearly did not raise his hand. Silent.

But Anna was already satisfied, and the situation she controlled was completely unhindered, and the result she wanted was achieved: in fact, it was the same as letting the barbarian accept the edict, as long as everyone in the division and the military government understood that Anna's opinion must be respected.

"Hmm," Gawain tapped his chin with his finger. Then he and the chief bowl looked at each other, signaled, and then the loud voice began to echo in the hall.

Meantime. Anna was triumphant and stood up from her armchair. Agnes also held up her skirt, and the fat eunuch next to her had already begun to collect all kinds of things. There was no need for her to attend the meeting.

"The governor's plan not only makes sense, but also has the support of most people, so I think it is best to accept the emperor's title." Gawain's words rang loudly, and Anna froze behind the curtain, with her back to him.

"Is this teasing?" Anna's blood immediately tumbled from her small chest, reaching her eyes and throat, and she turned around angrily, but saw that in the entire hall of the hall, the generals were sitting or standing, and most of them had not recovered from Gawain's words just now, and they had the same face as Anna, with a covered expression.

The sound of boots on the steps was sonorous and rhythmic, and Gawain walked down slowly, "Now Seleucia is surrounded by strong enemies, not to mention the Roman Empire, or the Seljuks, or the Armenians, even forces like Laptsomatus and Callegos should not be underestimated. Fiefdom is certainly our lofty goal, but there is no need to be tied up for it, that would be putting the cart before the horse, and if we were in a hurry, perhaps Seleucia would soon be isolated and hostile to the surrounding forces, and even beaten to the ground, and soon fall into a state of near death. We need to accumulate food, wealth, and weapons, to train better and more elite troops, to build richer and stronger fortress cities, to have more and faster fleets, all of which we have to pursue with impatience, but only the usurped title of 'Caesar' is the least hasty to do - therefore, I am willing to take up the emperor's throne, take up the position of Grand Duke of the Empire, and show allegiance to the emperor, this is my plan. ”

"But," after Anna kept glancing at Merlot, the campmaster tried to convince Gawain.

"If we want to gain a foothold in Cilicia, we must be granted a legal cloak by the Roman Empire, which is superior to the hyena of Prince Ruben, otherwise even Ferraredos. Blachamios' standard is not even comparable! Gawain's fist slammed into the table, and then his eyes burned, and he said to the heraldic officer, "Tomorrow I will invite Your Excellency Maupulos, and I am willing to take the ribbon and the seal, and turn it into a sword in the emperor's hand to protect this land and sea." ”

"That's all!" Gawain finally said this sentence very seriously, like a sword of phosphorus and fire splitting the air, full of unquestionable tone, and all the generals stood up in unison, bowing their heads to fully accept his conclusion.

After hanging the curtain, Anna pinched the belt, very embarrassed, and then she heard Gawain's subsequent words, "In the future, there is no need for you to participate in the voting of this kind of important matter, but now the situation is extremely tense, everyone has important responsibilities, there is no need to waste time here, just follow my instructions." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency." All the divisional generals, including Branas, replied in unison.

"Your Excellency, now all the seals of the documents are used jointly by you and Her Royal Highness the Princess in Purple, and the patterns are exactly the same, which will interfere with the communication of affairs." Taking advantage of this opportunity, the heraldic officer and the chief priest issued such a rebuke at the same time.

Then Gawain turned around and separated his hands as a gesture, "This is easy to solve, let the head of the armory, Samuelfa, cast two large and small seals, the large one only has the red hand pattern, and the small one only has the Seven Ridges pattern, the former is used by me, and the latter belongs to the princess in purple." Thereafter, Seleucian laws, taxes, and diplomatic treaties were combined by large and small seals; Military affairs, conquest, and six divisions, only survey my seal; And the model farm and the private property affairs of the court, the princess's small seal can be surveyed. ”

Hearing this, Anna almost fainted and collapsed.

What's more, she and most of the people present didn't know what the "six divisions" in Gao Wen's mouth meant. (To be continued.) )
