Chapter 263: Throne Reward?
Hearing Hakan II's words, the vassals in the palace were in an uproar!
"Your Majesty, no!"
"Please take back your order!"
"Your Majesty! This is absolutely not a no-go! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Please don't do that! ”
"Your Majesty, you must not make such a heavy promise, I believe that although the current situation is difficult, there is definitely another solution!"
The retainer was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, hoping that Hakan II would retract his words.
Although the throne of the king of the Kingdom of Kaigistan has not changed hands, no matter how it changes, every king is still the nobleman of his country, and once the order of Hakan II to be rewarded for the throne is really issued, then I am afraid that the political situation of the entire kingdom will immediately become turbulent!
"Other solutions? What other solution?! ”
Hakan II coughed with difficulty, sat up slightly straightened on his throne, and swept his courtiers below with a scrutinizing gaze.
"There is no reward for our country at present, let alone to invite a transcendent person to help, if the price is not enough, how can that person abandon his previous suspicions and lend a hand?
The council has done its best, and now that the expedition of the major professional legions to the eternal battlefield is imminent, even if they want to help, I am afraid they will not have the spare strength! ”
He waved his hand, and when he saw that the ministers below seemed to be trying to persuade him, he stood up on his throne and beckoned to the attendants beside him.
"I'm tired, that's the end of today's council, Foreign Secretary, just do what I just said, this throne is a virtuous man, since I have not been able to work for the good of the people of the kingdom during my reign, then let someone else come......"
With these words, Hakan II left the main hall with the help of his attendants, and headed for the rear of the dormitory......
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The guilty minister would never dare to give the throne as a reward, Your Majesty! If you don't take back your fate, your subordinates might as well die here, lest they be spurned by all the people, Your Majesty! ”
The Foreign Secretary wept and tried to chase after the little king, but was stopped by the janissaries at the door, and his voice passed through the aisles of the palace and far ahead, but Hakan II did not have the slightest intention of turning back, and went straight to his bedchamber.
The Foreign Secretary returned to the palace with a sad face, only to see his colleagues, who had just been arguing and almost fighting, standing silently, staring at the ground with their eyes, as if a flower had suddenly grown on the precious carpet of camel wool.
"You ......" he was stunned for a moment, and then his face immediately showed a mixture of shock and sudden realization.
"You two thieves! Kingdom Rebellion! How dare you! How dare you! ”
"Alas... This cannot be said, after all, we have all tried our best to stop it just now, and since His Majesty the King is willing to pay such a price to earn a living for the people, then we have no choice. ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked away slightly, shifted his eyes from the observation ground to the lamppost beside him, and uttered heart-wrenching words that made the Foreign Secretary almost vomit blood.
"Yes, how fortunate we are that His Majesty Hakan II, following the legacy of his late father, would rather give up the glory of the throne in exchange for the well-being of all the people of my kingdom of Kejistan, why do you have to be that wicked man?"
The Minister of War also coughed lightly and echoed casually.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the ministers in the palace immediately echoed in unison: "Yes, my lord, Your Majesty has spoken, what are you still pretentious here?" ”
"That's right, besides, Xue Hua has already advanced to transcendence, I'm afraid he will have to leave this world soon, even if he sits on the throne for a few days, what's the matter?"
"Well, that's reasonable, when the time comes, when he leaves, we will welcome His Majesty to the throne again, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
"yes, yes......"
“......”
A group of vassals of the kingdom, as if they had found an excellent reason to excuse themselves, began to talk in a big way, ignoring the increasingly disgraced look on the foreign minister's face.
"Alas! Kingdom misfortune! This catastrophe! Now there are you shameless villains again! King Hakansen! Can you see the pickled faces of these villains? ”
"Hey, what are you talking about......"
"Yes! It's obviously the best of both worlds, but how did it get into your mouth, but it became all ours, didn't it? ”
"Obviously, you are the one who invited that failed guy several times ...... three times."
"Yes, yes! It's obviously him who is brazen! ”
"......" Under the abuse and ridicule of his colleagues, the foreign secretary hobbled towards the outside of the palace.
He is already dead at the moment, he can't listen to anything from the outside world for a long time, and only hopes that he can go home as soon as possible and arrange his family and friends to go abroad, so that he can go out with peace of mind This trip is almost equivalent to going to death.
Now that the current situation in China has actually reached the point of being terminally ill, everyone in the country has different thoughts, which is not new news for a long time.
But in the end, the other vassals in this palace hall actually have little to do with this matter, as long as they don't die to make any public statements about this matter, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, they can easily get out.
But he was different.
As the highest envoy of the kingdom, this important invitation must of course be conveyed by him personally, and once he really opens this mouth to that person, whether the other party agrees or not, he can hardly get rid of the reputation of "selling for glory".
Although this order was given by His Majesty the King himself, the people of the country did not care so much.
They will only think that he, a rebellious minister and thief, has made an unauthorized claim in order to save his own life and put the throne on the list of rewards.
Once this terrible reputation spread, he and his family could no longer have any place in Kegistan.
And if Xue Hua accepted his invitation, it would be good to say, at least he would be able to survive until Xue Hua left this world, but once Xue Hua refused again, then he was afraid that there would be no other way out except to commit suicide on the spot.
Because once the fact that he used the king's throne as a bargaining chip was exposed and he did not succeed in recruiting strong foreign aid, then he would definitely have to bear the blame for all this notoriety.
When the time comes, he is afraid that he will be stoned to death by the people if he walks on the streets of Kegistan!
That's why he was reluctant to take on this task.
But now that the king had given him the order himself, if he did not want to be dragged to the gallows at once, he had no choice but to complete the suicide journey.
And as for absconding?
Once he has a reputation as a traitor, what human kingdom is willing to ask for him?
Even if the kings knew that he was forced, even for the sake of their own reputation, they would definitely tie him up and send him back to the kingdom of Kegistan.
Therefore, the foreign minister who was driven out of the duck on the shelves will speak ill of all his colleagues in despair, and everyone else will hang up, so naturally no one is afraid......
