(Today's end of riding and chopping, still 4 more, come to a wave of reward recommendations... up has never fought like this)

King Haraus has been in a very mixed mood lately... I'm happy and worried.

As an enterprising and unconventional aristocrat with a distinct personal style, Haraus is undoubtedly alienated from those traditional aristocrats and failed to deal with them in interpersonal relationships, which is not actually a relationship of his lack of ability, but a difference in concepts between tradition and non-tradition, which is difficult to reconcile (you can refer to the ideological differences between the two parties of the Republic), and therefore his political status in the Kingdom of Swadia is actually quite unstable.

Many of the kingdom reform policies formulated by Haraus and his staff were implemented from the top down, but they were hindered by the local traditional aristocracy and could not be implemented, and the kingdom was declining day by day, and even many people secretly complained about Harlaus himself.

He needed to consolidate his position to ensure his supreme kingly authority.

The first way to consolidate the position of the king is to win over the new noble faction and gain their support, which is not difficult, and Harlaus has done it.

But the new ones are just new talents after all, although they have similar values to King Haraus, but they are not enough in strength, most of their titles are low-level viscounts and barons, and the territory is basically just some villages and small castles, the quality of the soldiers under them is not high enough, and the number is not enough, even with their support, it is difficult for them to give you strong support.

Then the second approach is needed.

Cultivate the power of your own cronies.

Who can be their cronies?

The grassroots, a lowly but full of vitality and potential, are the most eager to rise to the aristocracy, and as such, they are easy to exploit.

One of the representatives is Han Weiqiang.

This plebeian warrior, who rose from the Parabun Athletic Congress, did not accept the invitation from the nobles to become their dogleg, but decisively chose to join the army. Whether it was in the initial Green Forest Banditry Suppression, or in the later border battles against the Rhodok Kingdom in the southwest of the Swadia Kingdom, he shone brightly, from a soldier to an officer, and was promoted to the rank of colonel in a very short time, which also attracted the attention of King Haraus.

Haraus personally met him and talked to him, and found that although the age difference between the two was large, they had many points of view on the situation on the continent and the future development of the kingdom.

God of War Han.

You can imagine that a king who is eager to stabilize his political position has no available person under his command who can really take charge of himself, but when he is distressed, there is such a person as Han Weiqiang, who is peerless and capable.

Haraus's joy can be imagined.

So he arranged for him to participate in the athletic tournaments in various big cities of the Swadia Kingdom, where he made a good performance and participated in the military competition, winning the championship in one fell swoop.

The prestige of the god of war began to spread, and a new civilian general star was born with such a glorious halo that he became not only a henchman of Haraus, but also an idol of the common class.

So, as a matter of course, he entered Fort Repolet... This military stronghold, which has the "eastern barrier between Parabun and the city of Suno", was put into service.

Later, the Kugit Khanate and the Nord Kingdom invaded the Swadia Kingdom, the battle of defending the border in the northeast, the first battle failed, the Count of Degrana was killed, the morale of the army almost collapsed, and the soldiers approached the city, Haraus withstood the pressure from the traditional aristocratic side, and changed the generals on the spot, so that Han Weiqiang served as the temporary city lord and acting military commander of Fort Repolet, not only to resist the military idea of foreign enemies, but also to politically... Raise a strong nobleman who is loyal to himself!

Count Dai Lana is a typical traditional nobleman, his death in battle and the destruction of the family behind him are in line with Harlaus's political needs, and Han's ascension to the throne is more in line with his political needs.

Han Weiqiang did not disappoint him, the first battle failed, the Count of Daygrana was killed, the morale of the army almost collapsed, and the soldiers were under the city, such a rotten situation, Han Weiqiang was able to attack against him, kill the enemy Chieftain Terge, and repel the Nord army for 10 miles.

The results were brilliant.

As long as this war in the Northeast is completely over and the Nord army is completely away, then Han Weiqiang will undoubtedly become the unyielding lord of Fort Repolete with his outstanding military exploits! Even those traditional aristocrats could not oppose it for any reason!

So he had mixed feelings... Both happy and worried.

The reason for the concern is that recently, in all corners of the country, large-scale unfavorable rumors against Han Weiqiang have suddenly begun to erupt, which may not be true, but those traditional aristocrats can use these rumors to make a fuss, force him to step down, or even execute him.

This is not an outcome that King Harlaus would like to see.

The traditional aristocracy, led by Harengus, had begun to pressure him, and he had to do something. If nothing is done, not to mention Han Weiqiang's reputation will be affected by these rumors, and there is even a danger of stepping down, even he, the king, will have to be given a reputation for inaction, and the king's authority will be weakened.

You know, as a competent ruler, his ruling authority is far more important than a henchman who can grow into a powerful helper.

Just as he was distressed and decided whether to abandon the pawn and protect the car, the maid outside the door suddenly walked in and said, "Your Majesty, there is a woman outside the door, claiming to be Han's messenger, and she has something important to see. ”

With that, she raised her hands and handed Haraus a medal.

That was the championship medal won by Han in the Japanese army at that time.

"Oh?" Haraus frowned, looked at the medal, looked down and thought for a moment, and said, "Call her in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With King Haraus's permission, the beautiful maid saluted Xu Huiqian and said gracefully, "Please come in, this lady." ”

Xu Huiqian smiled and said, "Thank you for your briefing." Then he entered the palace.

Haraus was on official business at this time, and when he saw Xu Huiqian coming in, he smiled and went straight to the point, saying, "What, Han has something to do, do you need my help?" ”

Xu Huiqian is also a smart person, and she knows that there can't be any politeness and detours, so she just gave a salute and got to the point: "Your Majesty, a lot of unfavorable remarks against Han have begun to spread recently, so I came here to remind Your Majesty that you must believe him." ”

Haraus shook his head with a smile, and said: "It's not that I don't trust Han, I'm afraid I can't do anything about this matter, above the court, someone has begun to put pressure on me, and even the people are talking about Han's actions, if I don't make some measures against Han that conform to the people's will, then..."

Xu Huiqian was very anxious, and then gave another salute and said, "Your Majesty, these are just unfounded rumors, and the other party can't produce evidence, so why impeach Han?" ”

"It's true that they can't come up with evidence to prove that Han is the murderer of Count Dai Grana, but Han can't come up with evidence to prove his innocence, and this matter is very difficult to do."

Xu Huiqian looked at Harlaus's helpless and resolute expression, and a sense of powerlessness arose... Sure enough, that Su Hao is not easy to get along with, such insidious but effective political rumors must have been fabricated by this person.

What to do?

What to do?

Xu Huiqian was extremely distressed.

Haraus looked at Xu Huiqian kindly, and seeing that she was dressed very neatly, he immediately asked, "Madam, are you an assassin?" ”

Xu Huiqian couldn't help but raise her head slightly, glanced at him suspiciously, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Haraus laughed, a strange look flashing in his eyes, it belonged only to... The gaze of the conspirator, seemingly plain and without light, is actually full of penetrating insight.

"Looks like you're very loyal to Han?" Haraus took a sip of tea unhurriedly, letting the warm tea run down his throat to warm his heart and spleen, and asked lightly.

Xu Huiqian nodded and said, "Yes, Han saved my life." ”

Haraus put down his teacup and said, "Have you ever heard a saying that only a person who has a long rest will not raise his voice against it?" ”

Xu Huiqian asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?" ”

Harons said with a smile: "The only people who really oppose Han are those traditional nobles, and these traditional nobles are represented by Count Harungus, who is responsible for balancing the distribution of interests among those traditional nobles, as well as making internal voices. As long as you can give Harungus a temporary break, then those traditional nobles need to find a real prestigious, capable, and well-connected spokesperson, distribute benefits, and make their common voice heard. ”

"Of course, as this so-called 'persuader', of course your life will be in danger, but as long as you make a small sacrifice for the country, the people, and Han, why not?"

Looking at Harlaus's meaningful smile, Xu Huiqian suddenly felt a shudder...

Take a break for a while...

For the country, for the people, and for Korea?

For the country and the people, it's just a pretense, as for the sake of Korea... Did he really instigate me to kill people for Han Weiqiang's sake? His real purpose is to get rid of a political enemy like Harongoth whose political views are different from his, right?!

It must be like this...

But it seems that he really has no choice, if Harungos really insists on impeaching Han Weiqiang under the pretext of rumors, then only if he shuts up forever, Han Weiqiang will be safe.

Xu Huiqian's gaze became cold, there was no longer a little warmth and peace before, after experiencing so much in the world of horseback riding and slashing, Xu Huiqian gradually became mature. She is no longer a weak woman who is timid when she sees blood, but an assassin who can truly be merciless when killing.

The chilling light only flickered, and the cold killing intent only lasted for a moment, and she suddenly thought of a question.

But...

What happens after the killing?

Since Harungoth is a representative of the traditional nobility of Swadia, there must be a powerful and terrifying force behind him, including nobles, generals, and lords, killing him is just drinking doves to quench his thirst, and the forces behind him will definitely not let him go.

What to do?

Xu Huiqian closed her eyes, then took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, you must be joking... Count Harongoth is a pillar of the country, and how can he rest for a while after working all night and feeling that he has not had enough time? ”

Haraus frowned slightly, but smiled silently.
