Chapter 1133: The Question of 'Inheritance'
"Your Majesty is coming back soon, and Alyssa is about to go into labor, what a ......" Calvin suddenly froze, smiled for a moment, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and turned his head and asked, "Gregory, what do you mean by that word?"
Gregory replied softly: "Double happiness is coming." β
"Yes, yes, two joys come to the door at the same time!" Calvin smiled happily, a happy look on his face.
After the signing of the agreement in the presence of the gods of both sides, the war in the north is completely over, the orc gods will bind their people, and their empire naturally needs to stop this war, for this, they need to pay some food and daily necessities, and the orcs will also provide the special products of the grassland.
There is a reward for the effort, and although it is not an equivalent transaction, at least the children and the elderly of the orcs will survive because of it.
After the war is over, there will be enough young adults to free up their hands to destroy the monsters and monsters in the grassland, and the climate and environment in the orc grassland are already bad enough, if the war continues, no matter how good the orcs are, they will gradually weaken after all.
Moreover, because the kingdom of God is blocked by the [Spirit of the Demon Net], even if the orc gods can let the orcs leave the world of Assatom, they themselves cannot leave, and the orcs without the protection of the gods are likely to be wiped out after going to other worlds.
Therefore, the orc lord god has no choice but to 'admit defeat' - if this war is not ended in time, the young and middle-aged will continue to be consumed by the war, and the current harsh environment inside the grassland will lead to a large number of old people and cubs dying, and the orc race without the 'past' and 'future' will eventually perish.
Coupled with the growing strength of the Ogordon Empire's magical technology and mechanics, the orcs will be at an absolute disadvantage.
But emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and the orcs are already strong, even if they are going to perish, they will become even more crazy in order to bring the dead back to life, and at that time, the northern front will be completely transformed into a flesh mill, which needs to be filled with countless lives to end the war.
Neither the orc god nor the god of radiance, Caesar XIII wanted to see such a thing, so they decided to remove all obstacles and sign an armistice.
Now, the agreement has been signed, and it is still signed in the presence of two powerful presiding gods, and it is very binding.
After the agreement is signed, those who rush to start a war will be subject to strong sanctions from both sides, and will never allow war to break out again.
At this point, Caesar XIII has also completed the task of this trip to the north, and he will return from the north, as long as he can return to the influence of the imperial capital, the troublesome nobles will stop, and the commoners living in the city will no longer need to be afraid......
This may not be a good thing, the world, or the empire, is still brutally divided into classes, and it is clear that a group of nobles are making trouble, but they have to observe the so-called 'aristocratic etiquette' and transfer the consequences to the commoners, and they themselves do not need to be punished in any way.
Even His Majesty the Emperor can't do anything to them, because in the current world, 'nobles' are right!
Thinking of this, the smile on Calvin's face faded, and he looked wistfully in the direction of the city.
Maybe right now, somewhere in that megacity of millions of people, there's a battle going on.
This time, the enemies of the Praetorian Guard are no longer limited to 'humans', and many strange creatures that have exceeded the lower limit and lowered the lower limit have appeared in the imperial capital, and those monsters are made by that group of high-sounding nobles.
Many people know about this, and some people will choose to carry out assassinations, but often they are fruitless, and only when other nobles follow behind the operation, these ridiculous and pathetic 'assassinations' will be successful.
β...... Perhaps His Majesty should have followed the advice of His Majesty at the helm and purged those nobles. After a moment of silence, Calvin, leaning back on the bench and looking up at the sky, suddenly said.
Gregory tightened his fingers on his cane and shook his head slightly, "Everyone knows that's the right thing to do, but sometimes, 'right way' doesn't mean 'right'. β
Now the Ogordon Empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, and if there is further turmoil, many people will die.
Now they don't plan to take the high-level route, no matter how much the nobles change, they are still 'nobles', and even their 'new nobles' who are loyal to the emperor are not necessarily loyal to the empire.
Some of them only supported the emperor's decision, rather than genuinely thinking about the empire.
Calvin sighed, and his voice was low: "If you want to influence the common people to develop patriotic thoughts, instead of loyal to the aristocracy, through the basic education of the Glorious Church and the Knowledge Church, it will take at least ten years to bear fruit......"
"The power of the nobility is deeply entrenched, and unless a civil war is started, do you want to eradicate the aristocratic power in the empire?" Grigory sneered, "and if a civil war is really started, how many people will be loyal to Your Majesty and the Empire?"
"What's more, we are aristocrats ourselves, and no matter how many times we emphasize that we are different from those decaying old aristocrats, we are still 'nobles'!" said Gregory, sneering, "Now that our children are about to be born, what will you do if you think about your children? What will I do?"
His questions were poignant, and they went straight to Calvin's heart.
Ask yourself, even in the face of your own heirs, you can be ruthless and try to avoid things like 'noble inheritance', but you are bound to focus on cultivating your own children, hoping that your children can make achievements that are not inferior to your own.
He would have high hopes for his children, and Gregory should have been, even both, so would their children take this for granted?
However, if he curbs the growth of his children because of this, is he really ruthless?
In fact, it is not so much that matters as to whether their descendants, but their descendants, will take the 'transmission of knowledge' for granted, and whether they can pass it on while misunderstanding their own status.
Without waiting for Calvin to answer, Grigory said to himself: "When Your Majesty returns, I will let Your Majesty take off the title of 'new noble', and now I don't need this thing anymore!"
"Calvin, what about you?"
Seeing Gregory turn his head to look at him, Calvin took a deep breath and nodded heavily, "You gave me an idea to solve it, and I will do the same, but these problems will eventually come back to 'education' - if education is good, maybe there will be no such problems." β
Grigory agreed with his head, but then said in surprise: "Actually, it's the same on Your Majesty's side. β
Calvin knew what he was talking about, and the royal family did not necessarily have every emperor as good as Caesar XIII, which may be a bit of a rebellion, but it was also a question that they and His Majesty had to think about.
There has never been a satisfactory answer to this question, there is too much uncertainty about this kind of thing, no one knows what will happen in the future, and everything they are doing now is to prepare for a rainy day.
"This kind of thing...... Let's wait for His Majesty to return and discuss it with him!" Calvin pursed his lips, "No matter how much we discuss, it will be difficult to get an answer that satisfies us. β
Although it was quite perverse to discuss such a matter as courtiers, as Caesar XIII's confidants, they knew very well what the emperor to whom they were loyal was, and he would never blame them for this, but would think seriously with them about itβand how they could make sure that this powerful empire would not be weakened again by the stupidity of its rulers.
Grigory nodded silently, then closed his eyes and stood up from the bench with his cane, "Let's go, the rest time is almost over, and Elisa is almost in labor, I suggest you do everything you can in the near future, and then spend more time with her during labor." β
The corners of Calvin's mouth hooked, and he stood up, his face fluttering, "That's nature!" ()
