Chapter 82: Tazmi
Minister Earnest swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Hehehe, Your Majesty, don't worry, I have already recalled General Bud and General Estes who are on the front line. By that time, the night raid was nothing more than a bunch of clowns jumping off the beam. ”
"Will the recall of General Bud and General Estes have an impact on the front line?" Emperor Eddie Andy wondered.
"Your Majesty, not at all." Minister Earnest shook his head.
The officials loyal to the empire standing below looked at Chancellor Earnest in horror, you are afraid of being a fool. Seeing that the Empire is about to crush this long-lasting rebellion, you are now calling back the strongest men of these two empires.
No matter how rampant the night raid is now, it is not to the point of summoning these two generals back to deal with it. Even if you say that a night attack will threaten the emperor's life, but under the heavy protection of the guards, a night attack sneaks into the emperor and sends him to death.
To be honest, the officials loyal to the empire also expect to kill more people in the night raids, and eliminate all these officials who were promoted by the ministers. Make the empire less corrupt and weaken the power of the ministers.
In fact, if you look at the outcome of the operation in the early stage, the night attack seems to be helping the empire, and Minister Earnest is assisting the revolutionary army from beginning to end.
"Then ......" Emperor Eddie Andy had just spoken, when suddenly a voice from below interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, no! It is not yet possible to recall General Bud and General Estes. ”
Everyone's eyes followed the source of the voice and saw a handsome middle-aged man in a suit with a beard.
He is the current Imperial Interior Minister, Clive. It is precisely because of his existence that the officials loyal to the empire have a backbone, and they are united, so that the ministers of Earnest will not be eliminated one by one.
"Your Majesty, now is the time of the decisive battle, if General Bude and General Estes are recalled to the imperial capital, it will undoubtedly give those rebels a chance to breathe."
"Also, although the night raids are rampant now, they have not reached the point where they will recall General Bud and General Estes together. We can first recall General Estes and let General Bud continue to suppress the revolutionary army. "After weighing the pros and cons, Clive of the Home Affairs Officer, gave such a plan.
In his opinion, although the combat effectiveness of the armies of those northern alien nations was more than ten times stronger than that of the revolutionary army, the revolutionary army secretly mastered a lot of imperial tools, and often sent powerful imperial tools to behead the empire. Not to mention that the uprising of the revolutionary army was to incite the people at home, and the degree of harm alone was greater than that of the foreign peoples in the north and the western kingdoms.
"What do you think, Minister?" Faced with the best of both worlds proposed by the Interior Officer, Emperor Eddie Andy instead went to ask the Minister Ernest next to him.
Minister Earnest smiled: "Your Majesty, the Interior Officer Clive, is obviously ignoring His Majesty's safety. I suspect he's creating an opportunity for a night raid to keep the palace guards empty, and I suggest arresting Clive for interrogation now. ”
Minister Earnest didn't even bother to make up a lie, and casually charged the Interior Officer. But such a, the emperor, who was only seven or eight years old, believed it!
"Well," Emperor Eddie Andy nodded and said, "What the minister said makes sense, someone came to put the internal affairs officer Clive in prison and torture him strictly." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two Janissaries in heavy armor walked in, grabbed the interior officer, Clive, and dragged him out.
The Interior Officer, Clive, looked sluggish, did not make any shouts, and was quietly dragged out by the Praetorian Guards. In the past, he thought that the emperor was young and ignorant and was deceived by the ministers, and when the emperor grew up and became sensible, the situation in the empire would be better.
Now the other officials loyal to the Empire and General Bud thought the same thing, but they were all wrong.
When the emperor grows up, it is indeed possible that he will no longer be deceived by the ministers. But before the emperor grows up, the country is likely to be eaten away by the revolutionary army's strongest "undercover" Minister Earnest.
Looking at Clive's desperate expression, the smile on Minister Ornest's face became more and more intense, and he said, "Clive, I will help you take care of your delicate wife and daughter, all over your body." ”
Clive, who had just been dragged out of the palace gate, came back to his senses and roared: "Your Majesty! The empire will one day be destroyed at the hands of Ornest! Your Majesty......"
Then his voice faded away, and all the officials present lowered their heads and pretended not to see. And the officials loyal to the empire are full of despair in their hearts, can such an emperor, such a country still be saved?
This is the darkness of the Empire, the Emperor is young and ignorant, blindly trusting Chancellor Earnest. And General Bude, who was only capable of overthrowing Minister Earnest, stubbornly followed the ancestral precept that military generals could not interfere in politics. Therefore, even if General Bude was aware of the corrupt behavior of the ministers and others, he did not interfere, at most he only used his authority to protect officials loyal to the empire.
At night, all but a certain area of the bustling imperial capital becomes silent.
A brown-haired teenager squatted on the side of the avenue, looked up at the street lamp above, and said, "The army has failed, and Sayo and Iyeas don't know what is going on now." ”
In order to save the village's predicament, the three of them came to the imperial capital to get ahead. But he didn't expect to be attacked by thieves on the way and got separated, and he was separated from Sayo and Iaias.
"First I couldn't join the army, and then I was cheated out of the money I got from hunting and killing all the way by that hateful woman with a very big murderous department." Tazmi reached out and scratched his hair vigorously, "Ah! How could I be so unlucky! ”
Click......
Tazmi suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, looked up, and saw a group of soldiers in armor approaching from a distance in tall Humvees.
"Where?" Tazmi fixed his eyes and saw the man in the lead, who was unusually tall and very majestic-looking.
"General Bude!"
Tazmi recognized him at once, his idol, and every morning in the village he took out the portrait of General Bud that he had received from his master and looked at it. Ever since he heard about the deeds of the veteran master in the village, General Bude, who taught him swordsmanship, he has regarded General Bude as his idol and target.
He came to the imperial capital to join the army, firstly, to relieve the village's predicament. The second is to meet his idol, General Bude.
