Chapter 235: Father and Son (I)
Inside, smoke rose up, and in the midst of the fireworks, I saw the flames rushing up. City+), the soldiers of the kingdom poured in like a tidal wave.
King Vesy, dressed in a red robe, burst into laughter when he saw this.
This smile carries infinite joy and great sadness.
After laughing, his eyes quickly swept over the thirty or so nobles and generals, his eyes were cold, and he said: "It's been eight years, the Kingdom of Rokad, I, Weixi, have finally waited for this day, and I haven't handed it over to my son!" β
In eight years, he fought in the south and the north, from the age of forty-six to the age of fifty-four, and as for the defeat of the enemy's last city-state, the great cause of unification was completed.
Many nobles burst into laughter, but one of them asked, "Your Majesty, what about the city?" β
"What to do? Whoever retreats to the last city and fights to the death will be stubborn, and kill them all. King Visy commanded.
At this moment, just listen to "Boom! With a loud bang, the pyramid of the dark god in the south of the city actually fell down in the fire, marking the official fall of the dark faith into darkness.
Seeing this, everyone first paused, and then laughed together, and all the nobles and believers had no opinion on this cruel order.
The eight-year war not only turned anyone who survived into an arrow, but also made them lose their pity.
When the fighting in the city had subsided, King Vesy said to one of the nobles, "I'll leave it to you, Carberry." β
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."
King Vesey nodded. Turn around and go. Behind the city is in the blood and fire city. Blind eye.
Giant ship "Triumph". It is 36 meters long. 10 wide. Such a big ship. In this day and age. is the highest outstanding. The king had six such ships. You can bring a thousand of the most elite samurai.
Along the river. Seventeen days in a row. Finally approached the royal capital.
King Vissiju was on board. Sweep around. I saw a piece of river water. Patches of fields along the coast. Seedlings are everywhere. As far as the eye can see. It's refreshing.
Between the fields. There are also low-slung farmhouses and cattle and sheep.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince has been in power for eight years, and the city-states he conquered, and the slaves he obtained, were all used for reclamation and mining, and in recent years, there have been canal projects to divert water for irrigation, and the harvest is very large, so as to support such a long war." The chief priest Hamlin said: "Near the royal capital, there are two rivers crisscrossed, and with the topography, tens of thousands of isha lands can be reclaimed, and this one can be used by the royal family." β
Hamlin was also a priest of royal origin, and his tone was representative of tendencies.
"Wang'er's governance is really good." Wei Xi said, his eyes were unfathomable: "Come on, bring the Wang'er's codex." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The samurai wearing armor, with a tiger head ornament on it, are all mighty and murderous, and they are elite soldiers who have been tempered for thousands of years.
These armor soldiers sent bamboo slips.
Looking at these armor soldiers, the king breathed a sigh of relief.
These armor soldiers, all in their thirties, were trained in the southern and northern wars, all of them looked indifferent, with a murderous aura, and were loyal to the king.
In addition to the king's ship, the five warships behind, each ship can accommodate 200 elite soldiers.
This force is enough to play a key role at any time.
The sails were full, and the ship sailed at a speed like a galloping horse, heading towards the dock of the royal capital.
The embroidery was spread out, and the crown prince ruled for eight years, and the "Mekpis Code" was largely complete
There are 51 columns in total, 382 articles, and the full text has 9,000 words, but it is inclusive of all, including the royal family, nobles, samurai, freemen, tenants, etc., and each level has different treatment, and there are regulations on taxation, lawsuits, rents, compensation, loans, inheritances, punishments, and so on in the public part
The purpose of the content runs through the idea of establishing order, eradicating lawlessness, and promoting morality and faith.
Generally, there is only one carved on each bamboo slip, but the king carefully reads it, each one is a policy order to govern the country and the country, as a king favored by the world, Wei Xi certainly does not lack wisdom, he feels the firmness and wisdom of the crown prince as a ruler from the rigorous structure and details inside.
"Mekpis, the king, Melfi." King Vesy carefully experienced it, and a happy and astringent mood appeared in his heart.
At the time of the war, I didn't feel that as soon as I relaxed, I felt tired and tired, and I was already old.
None of the ancestors lived past seventy, but he was almost fifty-five years old.
On the battlefield, he was invincible, but as he got closer and closer to the king, he felt an oppressive force, which was heavy and came from the crown prince.
The crown prince Mekpis was also blessed by the gods to be no less than himself in the legal system, and his hands were not stained with blood, which was his weakness and strength.
In the past eight years, the crown prince Mekpis has been in charge of the state in the back, pacifying the people, cultivating farmland, appointing and dismissing officials, rewarding nobles, and has accumulated a lot of prestige.
If the crown prince were to be deposed, it would be impossible, and even if the army succeeded by force, the country would fall apart.
But if the king, who unified the world and returned victorious, passed the throne to the crown prince like this, it is unlikely - and even less willing!
this
The position of the temple, as well as the wisdom and compromise of the father and son.
At this time, in the side hall of the palace, the crown prince Mekpis and the chief priest Melfi were talking.
There are three major events in the new era, the first of which is the economy, that is, the agricultural economy suitable for the era of separation, which has already been done.
The second is to unify the world
The third thing is to change customs, establish a country, and formulate laws and regulations
In Chinese mythology, the Yellow Emperor is a person who has achieved two great achievements, and the sun is soaring
In the past eight years, Wu Yanxi has presided over the "Mekpis Code", which has been achieved, although one percent belongs to King Weixi, sixty percent belongs to Mekpis, and one component is given to the people below, but these two percent are also extremely large merits, Fang Xin was promoted to her, from the third level to the thirteenth level, and already has the identity of the chief priest, and her status in the church is also a high authority
In addition, she is the heir of Moore, and her influence is of course not trivial, and she is gradually really relied on by the crown prince Mekpis, and there is no need to hide her words
"Someone proposes to welcome my father and queen and continue to rule with me, what do you think?" The crown prince Mekpis asked directly, the laws set by God himself, the church itself cannot touch the royal power, which makes many aspects much more convenient, and there is no need for too many scruples.
"Your Majesty fought a bloody war for eight years, and returned with great achievements in unifying the world, and at this time asked him to retire and abdicate? What foolish person has spoken to you like this? Do I want to put you to death? Wu Yanyan said, and her tone was also very direct.
The crown prince Mekpis was a little embarrassed, wanted to debate, and didn't have much to say, the king is not there, the crown prince can govern himself, and now the king is back and continues to govern, what is the difference between this and forcing the king to abdicate in seclusion?
He hesitated for a moment, and said, "You are right, but if I hand over the authority, then the king's brother Rekoz will ...... in the future."
The king's younger brother, Recoz, followed his father on the expedition at the age of fifteen, believed in the god of war, participated in the bloody war for eight years, and gradually stabilized his prestige in the army.
Even if it is a close relative, there are relatives, the crown prince has not seen his father for eight years, and Rekoz has followed King Vesy for eight years of war, and the friendship here is different.
became a force that threatened the crown prince Mekpis.
If the crown prince Mekpis surrendered his authority, it would have been severely restrained, if not to the point of "life and death between the father and the king", and if the king had leaned towards Rekoz and gradually cut off the influence and wings of the crown prince, then after a few years, the result would probably have been different
"Prince Recoz, it's not a problem, Prince, you and I have been friends for eight years, you can listen to me." Wu said.
"Please."
"Prince Rekoz is a paladin of the god of war, but?"
"Yes, it is said to be very favored by the god of war."
"Well, can he change his face and believe in my lord?"
"The Lord of Radiance is the supreme god, and his glory cannot be doubted, but he has been in the army for a long time, and his foundation is all in it, and he will definitely not change his faith again."
"Well, then my lord's church, and even a few other gods, can he be allowed to ascend?"
"Ah, so it is!" When this statement was broken, the crown prince Mekpiston was overjoyed, and he also understood the position of the Lord of Light and the other gods.
"Moreover, in the past, wars were frequent, and the church and influence of the god of war grew day by day, but now that the world is united, even if there are sporadic wars, there will be no major warsβunless you break with Your Majesty." Wu then said: "Then there is no war, and the nobles from all over the country return to their hometowns, how many regular troops can the king maintain?" Will the influence of the god of war dissolve? β
This is even more in-depth, and the crown prince Mekpis is more and more overjoyed: "Father keeps a maximum of 10,000 permanent garrisons, you are right, after that, in times of peace, the influence of the army and the god of war will fade more and more." β
"Your Majesty is the king, he has 10,000 elite soldiers, and the world can be dominant, but now is the time to govern the country, the Code of Mekpis governs the world, and it has been perfected, can the king overthrow it and start over? Still not governed with your method? In the future, even if the country is governed, for whom will all the people cheer? Do you have to fear that your influence will fade? β
When the crown prince Mekpith heard this, his shadow disappeared at once, and his heart was happy, and he laughed.
He is a smart man, and by this, he understands.
The king returned to Beijing with a great victory, and his edge reached its peak, and it was impossible to oppose for a while.
At this time, the implementation of the feudal system again, the nobles represented the majority of the troops, once the reward returned to the hometown, the swords and guns were put into the warehouse, and the soldiers were disarmed, this edge gradually disappeared.
The king was fifty-five years old, and it was impossible to overturn the Code of Mekpis, which had been in force for eight years.
Secondly, Prince Rekoz is simply insignificant
Thinking of this, his eyes showed a strange light, looking at Melfi, who was smiling and groaning, and his face was beautiful, and he really sighed in his heart: "If she is not the priestess of the inner temple, it would be fine, she is really the princess's choice!" β
He thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then I will mention it to my father first, and return the great government." β
Wu Yanyan said: "Slow! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to ncom, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
