(4 more is over, it's time for a wave of rewards~)

When the exciting news of the slaughter of the enemy lord Terg reached the economic city of Suno, the royal capital of Paraven, and the villages and castles in the hinterland of the Swadia kingdom, its influence and impact were self-evident.

From the nobles to the commoners, almost every household was talking about this matter, including heartfelt congratulations on the victory itself, envy and praise for Han Weiqiang's strong military ability and combat ability, and praise for the brave and fearless chivalry of the front-line soldiers. Of course, behind these harmonious voices, there are also many discordant sounds.

For example, in the upper aristocratic circles, many people are incomprehensible, skeptical and even opposed to Haraus's temporary appointment.

As Su Hao analyzed, for this Han, except for King Haraus himself, who appreciated his military ability and personality appetite very much, other nobles, especially the traditional nobles, did not like this person very much, because he was a lowly commoner. They believe that only the nobles are pure and noble, and they deserve to occupy the dominant position and the best resources of the Swadia Kingdom, while the blood of the commoners is always the dirtiest, the most despicable, and the most unbearable, and this grassroots class can never sit on the same status as the nobles.

All people are born unequal, and no amount of effort can change this inequality, and there is an insurmountable gap between the aristocracy and the untouchables. This is the conservative thinking and backward view of the traditional aristocracy of the Swadia Kingdom.

The Fort of Repolet was the eastern barrier of the royal capital of Paraven, a strategic location for the Kingdom of Swadia, and if such a geographically important castle was in the hands of a pariah, how could the nobles who sat in the palace and on the throne be safe to sing every night?

If it weren't for King Harlaus's appreciation and trust in Han, then Han Weiqiang would not have been able to sit in this position at all, and if it weren't for Han Weiqiang really temporarily repelling the Nord army with limited troops, then what was waiting for Han Weiqiang must be strictly military law.

While the conservative aristocracy of Svadia was pondering how to find an excuse to remove Han Weiqiang from his position as temporary city lord and acting military commander, dangerous rumors began to circulate among some neighborhoods and villages.

……

"How's the fighting going on the front?"

"On which side of the front line is the war? In Fort Repolet to the northeast, the god of war** is at war with the Nords, and in Fort Rendey to the southeast, Lord Reis is at war with the Kujits, and the war on both sides is very stale. I don't know which side of the war you're referring to. ”

"Nonsense, what do the Kugit people of the southeast have to say? Typical steppe herdsmen, field battles are OK, siege waste, Lord Reys only needs to guard the castle, can ensure that the castle is not lost, and the war over there is naturally easy. What I'm going to talk about is, of course, the battle at Fort Repoleet in the northeast, and the showy Han who led the death squads on the battlefield, penetrated deep into the enemy camp, and killed the enemy lord Terge! ”

"Hehe, there's nothing to say about this, Han is indeed very strong, but listening to some people, his character is very questionable."

"Oh? What happened to his character? ”

"I heard that there were two battles on the side of Fort Repolet, the first of which was a field battle, and the reason why we lost this battle was because behind our army, there was an elite cavalry of the Nords! They attacked our rear, flanked in front and back, and were defeated, and the Lord of Fort Repolet, Count de Grana, was killed. So, the question arises, why did a Nord cavalry appear out of thin air behind our army? ”

Indeed, if you put it this way, there are many doubts in it. Do you mean that Han colluded with the Nords, put in a cavalry into the Nord Plain, and then when the battle between the two sides was deadlocked, he suddenly attacked the rear of our army and killed the Earl of Dai Grana, and at the same time the enemy soldiers were approaching the city, the situation was critical, and Han was forced to take the throne? ”

"That's right, that's what it means."

"No wonder, this time those nobles were willing to let Han from a commoner ascend to the throne for the first time, it turned out to be like this... If it's really as you say, then Han does have bad intentions. However, I don't think it's advisable to guess a person with the worst malice in this way, at least, you have to show evidence, otherwise, wouldn't this be the greatest slander against a person? ”

"Hey, come on, evidence? Many things in this world don't need evidence at all, although Han is the pride in the eyes of our commoners, but he is a thorn in the side of the aristocracy, if they want him to step down, then there is only one false reason, they will definitely let Han step down, let's just wait. ”

……

In the town of Suno, in a tavern, there was a conversation like this.

At another table, a woman dressed in black and wearing a black hood listened carefully to the conversation while drinking juice. When the conversation was over, she slapped a silver dinar on the oak table and left.

This person is none other than Xu Huiqian.

She was alone, walked through a lot of neighborhoods, and heard a lot of rumors about Han Weiqiang, including good news and bad news.

Xu Huiqian couldn't help frowning, she was already tied to the same chariot with Han Weiqiang, sharing weal and woe, Han Weiqiang was on the throne, she was undoubtedly also a beneficiary, but now, the rumors against Han Weiqiang suddenly began to erupt on a large scale like a plague, which was undoubtedly not allowed by Xu Huiqian.

"There must be someone behind this, no doubt about it, but how do you find the source of the rumors?" Xu Huiqian thought about it.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but sigh, the root of which she didn't need to think about, it was undoubtedly those fine works from the Nord Kingdom. But don't say you don't know who the fine is, even if you do, what can you do? Even if you kill one or two behind-the-scenes rumor-mongers, how many people live in the big city of Sunuo? They spread the word, how can you kill them all?

Even, among the people, such a mantra began to circulate:

"Han, is it a bright and upright god of war, or a sinister and ruthless god of death? This is a question that only the dead Count de Grana knows. ”

Xu Huiqian doesn't like to kill people and doesn't have the ability to kill everyone.

……

Although there is no evidence to prove that Han Weiqiang is a conspiracy with ill intentions, if everyone repeats the same words, then the crime of murdering the Earl of Dai Lanna is equivalent to being confirmed.

"What should I do?"

Xu Huiqian was anxious.

The first way to silence everyone is to strangle the rumors in the cradle when they start to spread on a large scale, but now, it is obviously too late.

Then the second way is to let the rumors spread freely, but as long as you stabilize a person's heart, you can get everything done.

That's King Harlaus.

Haraus was the king of the kingdom of Svadia, not a traditional nobleman, but a very radical and innovative king. He was able to appoint Han Weiqiang, a newcomer, as the lord and front-line commander of Fort Repolet despite the opposition of all the traditional nobles, and Han Weiqiang did not disappoint Haraus, beheading Terg and repelling the Nords, achieving brilliant results. From this point of view, we can know that Harlaus is a person who knows people, dares to use people, and is good at using people.

No matter how much the lower-class people spread rumors, no matter how much rumors are spreading, no matter how unfavorable public opinion is to Han Weiqiang, if you want Han Weiqiang to step down, you must first get the consent of King Harlaus. After all, Haraus is the supreme ruler of the Swadia Kingdom. Even the traditional aristocracy could only pressure King Haraus to reappoint him, but if Harlaus could resist the pressure and firmly support Han, then Han would be able to ensure that he was safe from this political rumor.

After figuring this out, she decided to go to Parabun alone.

She was going to meet King Harauth.
