Chapter 1722: Emperor Sedum

Mephisto pinched the invitation and was about to slap Beria's big fat face, but Beria easily dodged it.

"Dead fatty, I'm not done with you today!"

"I'm kind enough to help you, and you're still going to finish with me?"

"Are you helping me?"

"Isn't it? It was you who personally said last night that you were going to come back with a female archduke, and this king is kind enough to create an opportunity for you! ”

"Roll !!"

***

Inside the welcome car.

Grand Duke Ketan sat on the side stiffly, introducing the scenery along the way to Murong Feng with a smile on his face.

In fact, there is nothing to introduce, although the greedy wolf empire has entered the era of interstellar civilization. However, due to the internal power struggle, the entire capital of the empire also appeared to be very polarized.

Dongcheng District belongs to the aristocratic area, most of which are villa estates, with pleasant scenery, quiet and peaceful.

Xicheng District is a commercial area inhabited by wealthy merchants, with many shops and bustling streets.

The North End is the Royal Palace.

The southern area is a civilian area, and most of them are templated residential high-rise buildings.

In ancient times, the rich lived in high-rise buildings, and the common people only had tiles to cover their heads. Now it happens to be reversed, most of the mansions of the rich are only four or five storeys, while the high-rise buildings where the common people live are often built from 100 floors.

Some residential buildings even have shops, schools, and entertainment in them, so that some otaku people don't have to go downstairs almost all year round.

It's like you've been kept in captivity......

In short, the entire imperial capital was completely lifeless in Murong Feng's eyes.

Grand Duke Ketan spent a long time salivaing, but found that Murong Feng was staring out the window calmly from beginning to end, unable to see any mood fluctuations. I couldn't help but secretly praise this envoy in my heart, obviously looking like a girl on the outside, but this bearing and state of mind is stronger than that of him, an old fox.

After all, it is the capital of the dignified empire, so it is naturally impossible to allow any flying objects to fly in the sky, especially when entering the area of the imperial palace in the north of the city, it is a clear area, and any flying object that is bigger than a fly will be ruthlessly attacked.

Therefore, after the welcome car drove into the northern city area, it landed on the ground and slowly walked towards the gate of the palace.

Grand Duke Ketan also took the opportunity to introduce many places of interest in the palace, and Murong Feng listened for a while before he knew that this palace had a history of thousands of years. According to the old man, this ancient palace has witnessed the rise and fall of five dynasties, dating back to the earliest ancient times of the earliest civilization of this galaxy.

Grand Duke Ketan seemed to be very interested in these ancient histories, and of course, on the other hand, he was also promoting them to Murong Feng.

Its intention is nothing more than to let Murong Feng, a foreign envoy, know that our human civilization also has thousands of years of heritage!

Murong Feng pursed his lips and suddenly asked rhetorically: "Does the Grand Duke know my age?" ”

Grand Duke Ketan was stunned by the question, touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly: "The appearance of the old man and the noble envoy should be about two eight years, right?" ”

Murong Feng raised his head slightly, and said with a proud expression: "According to your human chronology, I am now about sixteen thousand years old." ”

Grand Duke Keetan was dumbfounded and almost bit his tongue in shock: "More than 10,000 years old??? This and this ......! "Isn't that the man in front of him outlived their entire human history?

Murong Feng suddenly smiled and said, "I'm just joking, don't care about it." ”

Archduke Ketan's face was wonderful, but he only dared to smile and say, "Ho-ho-ho, your envoy is really a funny person, and the old man almost believed it." ”

Murong Feng smiled and said: "Don't call me a noble envoy, I am also in love with the Grand Duke, you still call me by my name." ”

"How dare you." Grand Duke Ketan hurriedly pushed.

"Is the Grand Duke treating me as an outsider?" Murong Feng immediately straightened his face.

Archduke Ketan's face froze, so he had to go down the slope and ask with a dry smile: "Dare to ask the honorable name of your envoy?" ”

Murong Feng smiled proudly and said, "My name is very long, and I won't be able to remember it for a while." Fortunately, before I came, I specially chose a name according to your human style, and I was called Zhao Jiangang. The Grand Duke can help evaluate it, how is this name? ”

Grand Duke Kitan really deserves to be called an old fox who has become a fine spirit, and he can actually praise with a serious face: "What a name, it sounds tough, cough cough, the old man means that this name is very elegant." ”

"Does the Grand Duke think so? I love the name, too. Murong Feng immediately covered his mouth with a pleasant face.

Archduke Ketan secretly wiped a cold sweat, but he could only laugh dryly for a while.

Fortunately, the gate of the palace finally arrived, and Grand Duke Kitan hurriedly got out of the car, and then personally invited Murong Feng to get out of the car.

In front of the huge palace, in addition to a team of welcoming guards, there is also a white-faced bearded old manager.

Seeing Murong Feng get out of the car, the old manager's eyes flashed, and he immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face and said politely: "Your Majesty has heard that your envoy has come to visit and summoned you to send a villain to wait for your envoy here." ”

"There's Mr. Lao." Murong Feng nodded slightly.

"Please." The old manager turned around and waved his hand, and said loudly: "Fire, play music!" ”

Immediately, a salute was fired nineteen, and the drums were noisy.

Seeing this, Grand Duke Ketan wrinkled his brows, because the etiquette had passed, and there was no need to make a big show. Besides, the foreign envoy came to meet the emperor for the purpose of forming an alliance, so he should have a secret discussion first and then convene the ministers to discuss. Now that you have a salute, it is estimated that everyone in the capital will know about it.

Murong Feng didn't expect so much, and walked on the red carpet under the leadership of the old manager to enter the palace gate.

The group entered the main hall in the middle of the guards' welcome, and when they followed behind the Ketan Prince, their faces changed slightly, and they asked, "Is Mr. Liu wrong?" Why didn't Your Majesty summon the foreign envoy in the Xuanhua Palace? ”

Although there are many palaces in the palace, each palace has its own purpose. For example, the Xuanhua Hall is usually the place where the emperor summons foreign envoys, but now the place they are going to is the Xuanzheng Palace, which is the place where the ministers often discuss national affairs, and it is not a place to receive foreign envoys at all.

"That's right, it was ordered by His Majesty himself." The old steward smiled and said, "Archduke Keitan, please go faster, don't let Your Majesty wait." ”

Grand Duke Keetan's brow furrowed, realizing that something was wrong. But looking at the guards on both sides of the road, he could only nod and follow silently.

Several people came to the door of the main hall.

The old steward sang loudly at the door of the station: "Star Spirit Clan envoy, here!" ”

"Xuan!" Immediately, a voice came from inside.

"Please, Envoy." The old manager smiled and asked.

Murong Feng nodded, and as soon as he entered the hall gate, he saw a group of people standing in the main hall, and when he looked up, he saw a person sitting on a golden chair, it was the emperor of the greedy wolf empire, Emperor Sedum.

Murong Feng looked up at the Imperial Emperor, and Emperor Sedum was also squinting at her.

And the ministers in two shifts were also looking back at the Star Spirit Clan's envoy.

Archduke Ketan, who came in half a step slowly, immediately chuckled in his heart when he saw how many people there were.

Because these ministers standing in the temple were either members of the military or members of the House of Commons, and only seven or eight people came to the House of Lords.

But these seven or eight were all sworn enemies of the Grand Duke of Keetain, and belonged to the staunch royalists.

"Bold!" Suddenly, a shout broke the silence, and I saw a general with all his beard and hair shouting angrily: "The little envoy dares to look directly at the holy face, and he doesn't quickly kneel down and kowtow to apologize!" ”

For a while, the needles in the hall could be heard, and the faces of the left and right civil and military were different.

"Presumptuous!" Grand Duke Kitan took a step forward and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid of alarming the saint with the noise in front of General An's palace?" ”

"You old puppet Hugh is going to button your hat indiscriminately!" An Daosheng immediately sneered at each other: "This general is just talking about things, and foreign envoys don't understand etiquette, but you brought people." As the prime minister, you are supposed to educate the people, but you have neglected your duties and clearly failed to take Your Majesty to heart. ”

This hat is a bit big, and the words don't take into account the face of the foreign envoy at all, it is clearly sowing discord, in case the foreign envoy is really angry, then there is no need to talk about this alliance.

How could the Grand Duke of Kitan not see through the intentions of this old miscellaneous hair, and immediately his face turned angry and said: "An Daosheng! This is a place where the ministers discuss national affairs, when will it be your turn to make a big deal here! ”

An Daosheng immediately snorted back: "General Ben is killing the enemy in blood outside, why can't he stand here and speak?" ”

Gitan trembled with anger, and he could see that the so-called foreign envoy's visit was simply the emperor's deliberate suppression of him.

As long as this alliance is combined, the emperor will immediately defeat the invasion of those insects with his own army, and then return with the power of a great victory. At that time, all the glory will go to the emperor, and as the prime minister, let alone go further, I am afraid that he will not even be able to sit firmly in his current position.

"Okay, don't quarrel anymore." Suddenly, I saw that Emperor Sedum, who was sitting on the golden chair, finally spoke, and listened to him say slowly: "What kind of decency is it to be so disrespectful in front of foreign envoys." ”

"The minister is guilty, please be gracious!" An Daosheng immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Grand Duke Kitan twitched his cheek, and could only kneel down and kowtow and beg for mercy: "The minister is also guilty, please be gracious to Your Majesty." ”

"Alas, the two Aiqing are both pillars of the country, and I still need two Aiqing to share my worries." Emperor Sedum said with a sad face: "The heavy punishment will be waived, and the two of you will go back and think about it at home for three months." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." An Daosheng was immediately grateful.

But the Grand Duke of Ketan, who was also lying on the ground, was already as black as the bottom of a pot, and the fine of three months of confinement was nothing to him, and it was definitely a light punishment in the past. The key is still a matter of face, but the most important thing is that at this juncture, his dignified prime minister was actually ordered by the emperor to go home and think about it behind closed doors for three months.

Three months is enough time for the emperor to drive several round-trips, and the emperor is away, the capital of the country is bound to have someone in charge, and the most suitable person should be him, the prime minister......

"Rusol." Sure enough, the emperor directly named a person the next moment, and immediately saw a white-haired old man saluting among the ministers: "The minister is here." ”

This man was none other than the arch-rival of the Grand Duke of Kitan, the stalwart of the royalist party in the noble council, the Grand Duke of Swanstein Castle, Rusol.

Emperor Sedum said slowly: "I want to drive the royal family to conquer Huanyu, but the national capital cannot be left unmanned, and in these days when I am not there, Lao Aiqing will temporarily replace the prime minister to share my worries." ”

"The ministers should share their worries for the sake of the saints." Rusol immediately responded.

And the Grand Duke of Ketan, who was lying on the ground, was about to crush his teeth, he didn't expect the emperor's counterattack to be so decisive and ruthless this time, and he replaced him with his henchmen in a few words. If he had finished thinking behind closed doors in three months, I am afraid that the seats in the House of Lords would have been replaced by Russol as royalists.

The point is that he can't find any reason to refute it at all, because this time the emperor took advantage of the reason, and only lightly punished him for thinking behind closed doors, and did not abolish his position as prime minister. So that Archduke Ketan could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, even if he wanted to fight back afterwards, I was afraid that he would not have a chance.

Because the day of the emperor's personal victory, it is estimated that it will be the time for his deposition.

When he figured it all out, Ketan collapsed to the ground weakly, and said silently, "It's over...... Finished...... It's all over. ”

Emperor Sedum said lightly: "It seems that the prime minister has overworked for state affairs, come here, send the prime minister back to his home to rest, don't be tired." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The old manager walked to the side of the Grand Duke of Kitan with a smile and helped him up, saying, "The Grand Duke should not hurry up and thank him." ”

"Minister...... Thank you, Your Majesty. The Grand Duke of Kitan bowed his head and said in despair.

The old steward immediately left the Xuanzheng Hall with Archduke Ketan in his arms.

For a while, Murong Feng, who had been watching the play, was left in the entire hall.

Emperor Sedum squinted at Murong Feng and said, "Let the noble envoy smile." ”

Murong Feng smiled lightly: "Your Majesty is serious. ”

Emperor Sedum smiled slightly: "Your envoy must have been tired of traveling from afar, and I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet to entertain Your Excellency." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Murong Feng smiled and saluted.

If Grand Duke Keetan were still here, he would know that he had guessed one thing wrong, that is, Emperor Sedum would not only want to overthrow him, but also take away the credit for his alliance with the Star Spirit Clan.

Obviously, Emperor Sedum was very self-aware, and knew that his own army that was about to rot to the root would not be able to defeat those bugs at all, unless he could take away the military power from the hands of the nobles. But if this is the case, it is estimated that there is no need to wait for him to levy it in person, and the nobles will rebel first!

Therefore, the only way out is to form an alliance with the Star Spirit Clan, but the credit for the alliance must not fall into the hands of the nobles. Therefore, Emperor Sedum had to make a dangerous move, first beat the Grand Duke of Kitan back and thought about it behind closed doors, and then hurriedly took advantage of the leaderless nobles to join forces with the Star Spirit Clan to defeat the invasion of the Zerg.

When the time comes, he will return with the power of a great victory, and even if the Grand Duke of Keetan returns to the position of prime minister, he can only become a puppet in his hands.

Therefore, after dealing with the Grand Duke of Kitan, the first thing Emperor Sedum had to do was to quickly form an alliance with the Star Spirit Clan to discuss the plan. Of course, he must have formed an alliance with the Star Spirit Clan in the name of his emperor, not in the name of the noble council.

Of course, there is one more thing to do before that.

Seeing that An Daosheng, who should have been punished by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors, he actually appeared at the banquet in a grand manner, came to Murong Feng with a glass of wine and solemnly apologized: "The old man has a vulgar temperament, and there were many offended envoys in his previous words, and I also asked your envoy Haihan." ”
