"Alexander, how the hell do you want to explain?" In the Council of Nobles, one of the councillors said almost angrily. Haugelqing was the chief of the guard in charge of the security of Novgorod, and his status in the parliament was not low at all, so he was qualified to directly question Grand Duke Alexander, who was looking at everyone coldly.

"Hauger, you're overdoing it. The jury is still out on this matter. You don't have to. Besides, you don't know what happened yesterday. Solzhenitsyn, however, did not speak out to stop the menacing Hauger. It is well known that the relationship between Solzhenitsyn and Alexander has always been delicate. Although he was a staunch supporter of Alexander's faction in the Parliament, he was also deliberately limiting the power of the other party, but once there was a wave of opposition to Duke Alexander's rule in the Parliament, Solzhenitsyn would stand against it.

Only this time, the discontent in the House has accumulated to the point where it cannot be suppressed. There are more and more parliamentarians who oppose Alexander's arbitrariness, and even Solzhenitsyn's supporters are a little impatient. After all, what happened last night was so sensational that even they couldn't stand it, and the anti-Alexander faction was ready to move at this time.

"Solzhenitsyn, you told me not to be aggressive, then please tell me that yesterday my garrison was disarmed by the personal guard of the Duke, what can be explained by this, is the law of Novgorod just a dead letter?! This is the city of the Novgorodians, not the territory of the Neusky Gentiles! Hauger asked questions that were almost roaring, and Solzhenitsyn could not answer. Last night, the riots in Downtown left everyone up all night, and it was nothing short of a scandal. Even they didn't know that there was such a place for filth in the city they ruled. What was even more difficult for the noble councillors to accept was that some of their relatives and friends had already been involved in the affair without them knowing anything.

After the incident, the Council of Nobles reacted immediately, chasing down the two mechs that caused the riot, but what made them even more angry was that they were all lost. And the guards in charge of these affairs also clashed with the guards of the Polish embassy in the process of pursuit! As a result, Alexander's personal guard appeared at that time, and without saying a word, violently disarmed the guards.

This is simply presumptuous! Hauger felt that it was Alexander slapping him in the face!

This time Alexander was in the wrath of the people. You know, whether it is a radical or a moderate, they support or oppose Alexander's rule in order to maintain their rule, but if Alexander crosses the thunder pool and intends to touch their power, then there is no need to keep his position as a duke to threaten himself.

"Hmph, Solzhenitsyn, in this matter, I think you can still understand right and wrong! If this continues, I am afraid that sooner or later the city will become a private fiefdom of a dictator! At this time, Patriarch Ivelome on the side snorted coldly, "The appearance of a tyrant is not good for any of us. No matter how fierce the lion is, he is still a beast after all, and it is impossible to be tamed. ”

Iverum suddenly stood up and said loudly: "You have seen and understood what happened yesterday, as the duke's personal guard, you can only have the obligation to protect the duke, and you have no right to meddle in the internal affairs of Novgorod, this despicable tyrant is threatening the republic." I ask for a vote to decide whether or not to exile Alexander! ”

"Ivlumo, you have no right to do this, it's wartime, Novgorod doesn't need a person as a hub for the union of forces, and Alexander is the best candidate!" Solzhenitsyn argued that he knew that once he voted, Alexander would likely be exiled again, and now that the Teutonic Knights were under pressure, it was really difficult to find anyone with sufficient military talent except Alexander, and these nobles were still playing the game of power.

"Then you don't need a dictator to guard Novgorod as a bond, and you can't do it alone! If he cannot be included in the system, he cannot continue to be the leader of Novgorod! Even the emperor must submit to order! Congressman Hauger shouted.

Suddenly, the whole chamber became noisy, and the members attacked each other and argued endlessly. Alexander, who was sitting alone in a chair in the audience, remained silent until a long time before he finally spoke.

"I don't think you have forgotten the duty you have given me." Alexander's powerful voice silenced all the quarrels. I saw the man stand up from his chair.

"My duty is to protect the city and lead Novgorod to great glory, and my right is to obtain the maximum power for this purpose. The accusations made by Hauger seem to me unjustified, and when his men try to clash with the Poles, I have the right as the Grand Duke to stop this absurdity. I don't think you will give up your alliance with Poland easily, will you? If yesterday's clash broke out between the garrison and the Polish army, would it be the diplomatic implications that you could be responsible for? ”

"You!?" Haugel did not expect Alexander to put a big hat on himself.

"I remember that before, the Grand Duke, you were not always against our alliance with the Poles? Why have you changed your mind now? Patriarch Ivelomo asked, Alexander had always adhered to a hard-line and aggressive policy, rarely compromised with the Rastines in the West, and his previous alliance with the Swedes had surprised everyone.

But Grand Duke Alexander just shrugged his shoulders and said: "Every time there is a thought at every time, I just have changed, is there anything wrong with Your Excellency the Patriarch?" ”

"Hmph, you're a trick." Patriarch Ivillo said coldly, the two of them can be regarded as old rivals, and they have always been tense in the struggle for power.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to hold a sharp sword, you must accept that you can be cut at any time, that an obedient hound can only catch some small animals for you, and that if you are dealing with a behemoth like the Holy See, then you can only trust me, only lions can hunt rhinoceros and elephants. If you want to exile me as you did back then, I can guarantee that the day after I fall, the Teutonic Knights will return! And your end will come. (To be continued.) )
