Chapter 1089: Chaos (II)
"Calvinqing, Gregory, do you know why I called you over this time?" Caesar XIII asked softly, standing by the window with his back to the two of them, looking out at the lush garden.
Gregor used his cane to support his body, and when he heard this, he frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, should you really go to the north in person......
"Gregory, I must go!" Caesar XIII turned, and the shadow covered his face, making it look particularly heavy.
"As the 'Emperor', I must go there and accept the surrender of the orcs, otherwise, the orcs will never accept this outcome. ”
After thinking for a while, Calvin's mouth opened slightly, "Then Your Majesty, I'll ...... with you"
"You're going to stay here—that's what I'm asking you to do today!" the Emperor sighed, shaking his head, "You are going to stay in the capital and keep an eye on the nobles, but rest assured, not only will Lille go with me, but three legends will go with me...... I'm really not at ease. ”
What the emperor is not worried about is probably not this 'trip to the north', but the nobles in the imperial capital.
He didn't convince those with vested interests, so he didn't intend to convince them, and everything went at his own pace.
This war must be over, otherwise, there will still be many ordinary soldiers whose lives will be 'wasted', they should not die under the greed of vested interests, they should live well, even if they have to sacrifice, they should be more glorious.
The reason why he took the three legends and Lille with him on his trip to the north this time was because he was afraid that someone would obstruct him on the road and even try to assassinate him!
In the eyes of that group of bold nobles, he has lost most of his usefulness, and even if the current Ogordon Empire loses him as an emperor, it can still function well.
If the empire loses his emperor, then the cabinet ministers will be able to form a 'proxy council' to rule the empire, and if they are more careful, they can put their youngest son on the throne and become a puppet at their disposal.
He knew that his situation was dangerous, but in comparison, he was more worried about the situation in the imperial capital.
If he wasn't in the Imperial Capital, he had no way of knowing what the nobles of the Imperial Capital would do to the city until he returned.
The aristocrats have millions of ways to avoid the eyes of the Sleepless Eye, but they don't usually have to do so.
So he asked Gregory and Calvin to stay in the imperial capital, monitor the movements of the nobles, and protect his family by the way...... Yes, with the audacity of those guys, they might choose to attack the 'royal family'.
Most likely, several of his sisters and daughters, and even more distant female royals will be targeted by them.
If he, the Emperor, dies or disappears into this world, then they will be able to use female royalty to gain a 'royal kin' status and intervene in the rule of the Empire.
Even though he could imagine all the methods available to the nobles, he could not guard against them with unmistakable precision.
Caesar XIII walked up to Calvin and Gregory, stretched out his hand, pressed heavily on their shoulders, and said in a low and solemn voice: "You two stay in the imperial capital, adapt to the situation, if you think it is necessary, you can mobilize the 'Sleepless Eye', I give you this permission!"
Calvin and Gregory looked at each other and nodded.
Caesar XIII, who had a gloomy face, leaned into the ears of the two of them, gritted his teeth and said, "Help me keep an eye on those guys, don't give them any chance to do anything!"
The two of them were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and from these words, they had already felt the determination and ruthlessness of His Majesty the Emperor.
The other meaning of this sentence is 'let you do it, and he will take all the responsibility', and if necessary, they can even directly kill those nobles who have intentions!
Calvin and Gregory hung their heads, pressed their chests, and said in unison: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Caesar XIII calmly watched the departure of his few trusted subordinates, believing they understood what he meant.
He now had reason to believe that the city would be disrupted by the nobles before he returned to the imperial capital.
On the surface, they may not see anything, but they are still living and working in peace and prosperity, but secretly, they may transfer some of their forces into the imperial capital.
No matter what way it is, those forces will eventually enter the imperial capital, because except for the First Praetorian Guard, the other Praetorian Guards have people they have installed.
This is something that everyone knows by heart, and it is also a necessary concession from the royal family......
When Gregory and Calvin had left, Caesar XIII turned and walked to the window, looking out at the garden and frowning.
The imperial capital is about to usher in an unprecedented chaos, and I don't know how many people will be affected by this 'carnival'.
He didn't want to see it, but he couldn't do anything else.
He was going to accept the surrender of the orcs, which was not appointed by the orc god, but he also understood that apart from him, no mortal in the Ogordon Empire was qualified to accept the surrender of a master god, and if he did not show up at the scene of the agreement on that day, then the orcs would definitely give their side a dismount and make them lose face.
It is highly likely that this will lead to a new war, so he will not allow this to happen.
After he leaves the imperial capital, I am afraid that populist remarks such as "accepting the surrender of the orcs is due to the emperor's cowardice" and "after accepting the surrender, they will live in peace with the most disgusting orcs" will appear in the city to stir up people's hearts.
These statements must have come from 'out of nowhere', and even if there was a source, it was from the mouth of an unknown gang member.
If he didn't understand the dirty methods of the nobles, how could he fight those guys?
In fact, he knows it very well, so he will definitely take precautions before leaving!
After he leaves the Imperial Capital, it will 'suddenly' become a place of gang gathering, and countless people who want to beg for food in the Imperial Capital will join these gangs, which are essentially nothing more than a dirty struggle between nobles.
After the emperor leaves his palace, they will put on the table the political struggle that was originally placed under the table, and whoever has the big fist will be right.
Especially in the competition for interests, simple, direct and efficient violent means are the most popular distribution methods for them.
Not surprisingly, after he leaves the imperial capital, many unheard-of 'monsters' will appear in the sewers and rivers, which will have a great impact on the ordinary people living in the city.
This is one of the reasons why he asked Calvin and Gregory to keep an eye on the city, and the leader of the Sleepless Eye will leave the imperial capital with him, although the intelligence system will continue to operate, but they will lose their 'judgment' without a leader.
They are 'tools' and have difficulty using themselves, so he leaves the city with two 'tool users'.
The great nobles may not be involved in such a stupid struggle, but they are ambiguous, neither approve nor oppose, and will only sit quietly as a 'spectator' and watch these 'farces'.
If something happens to him, then they will act quickly, otherwise, they will not do anything.
There were many variables on this trip to the north, but he was confident that he would be able to overcome all difficulties.
Even if he is infamous, he must stop this war that is difficult to see the end of!
