The noisy noise echoed in the hall, if it weren't for the fact that I saw all the excited guys with teeth and claws, all of them were well-dressed and fat-headed and big-eared, it would really make people think that they had entered the vegetable market. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThis is the largest council hall in the Red Palace of Agra, where almost every major decision was made that determines the future of the kingdom, and it is also the symbol of the entire Indean kingdom.
Movol III leaned back tiredly on the golden chair behind him, and his fingers as thick as carrots subconsciously rubbed on the gem at the top of the front of the armrest of the big chair, wondering how long he could sit on this chair? Movor was not obsessed with this glorious chair in the eyes of everyone, it was actually a huge burden in his eyes, he had been full of fear of this chair since he was a child, but his father put this chair under him, and let himself take on the heavy responsibility that had been overwhelming him for so many years. Movol also knew that he was not actually a qualified monarch, compared to those tedious government and military affairs, he was more devoted to the appreciation of jewelry, becoming the greatest jewelry appraiser has always been his deepest dream, but he also knew that to achieve this dream, he may not be able to do it in his lifetime, unless he gave up the position under him, the nearly 20 million subjects of Hyderabad and those allies who were attached to the Hyderabad people.
The black gems shimmer in a bewildering color under the butter candles, and the exterior of this large chair with a rosewood skeleton is completely wrapped in pure gold, with a golden light and brilliance, and the top of the two armrests and the two corners above the chair are inlaid with four longan-sized gemstones in black, red, blue and green, making this magnificent transaction even more unparalleled in the world. The back of the chair rises high, and at the top of the huge statue of the golden bull head is a walnut-sized night pearl that sparkles in the light. This is the throne of the king of the Indean Kingdom, a unique pure gold chair, the highest symbol of the more than 60 million people of the Indean Kingdom.
Regardless of the political significance of this large chair, even in terms of the economic value of this chair is appalling, according to the estimation of a famous jewelry merchant who is close to the royal family of Indean, the four huge gems of different colors are worth more than 400,000 gold coins each, and the entire chair should be worth more than 2 million gold coins, and according to the jewelry merchant, this is not actually the most precious treasure of the Indian royal family, the royal family has countless kinds of treasures, and the most precious is of course the crown worn by the kings of the past to coronate and participate in major eventsThe crown made of pure gold is inlaid with as many as 160 diamonds of different sizes, among which the top spire of the crown is inlaid with the "Star of the Continent" from the world-famous "Cullinan" original diamond, which is known as the largest diamond in the continent weighing 530 carats, and its light blue color that is enough to make people crazy is the best among the rough diamonds. This rough diamond alone is worth three million imperial gold coins, and this rare treasure has become a treasure in the royal family of Indean.
Movor stared blankly at the nobles and ministers who were still arguing, the fall of the south and the revolt of the slave poor in the north had plunged almost everyone into a panic, and no one knew how to deal with the situation that was completely out of control, especially in the north, where several increasingly powerful rebel armies had begun to threaten the safety of the city, many market towns were razed to the ground, landlords and nobles took refuge in the cities, and merchants were even more wolf-free, abandoning their possessions and businesses, and even fleeing to neighboring countries。 The council hall became the best place to blame and insult each other, and it was a place where they could freely vent their frustrations with the situation, and while this did not help to change the current chaos, it at least gave a temporary balance to the hearts of the nobles who had suffered so much and had become nothing.
Looking at these ordinary and arrogant nobles in front of them, but now they are like lost dogs, the atmosphere of panic envelops the entire hall, in addition to crying and crying and confiding in each other about the looting they have suffered, they are scolding those damned untouchables and Tiks, the nobles at this time seem to have completely forgotten the toughness of the time, they just want to seek a compromise, or a decent surrender, in their opinion, even if the Tiks become the new masters, it is better than those untouchable slaves riding on their necks, and if the minions of the past climb on their heads to shit and pee, this feeling is enough to make people crazy。 But it seems that even this minimum requirement was not willing to be given by the Tiks, who even refused any terms of peace talks, except for unreserved surrender, which was unacceptable to almost all nobles and ministers.
In the face of the Tik army advancing in the south and the growing slave and poor uprising in the north, only the central province seems to be relatively calm at the moment, but Movor knows that if the current situation continues, the central province will become a rioter's paradise in a few days, because almost all the troops at their disposal have been assembled in the province of Wad to defend against the impending Tik invasion. It won't be long before the untouchables of the central province will discover the secret, and at that point, what will become of the situation, Movol does not dare to think further.
"Marshal Zug, what is the situation now? You said that the Tik army has entered Wade Province, why has there been no news from the front line for so many days? What are the Tiks waiting for? In addition, the situation in the north is rotten, and the mob is raging everywhere, if we don't react again, I'm afraid that the Tik people have not yet called, and we have all become prisoners of those untouchables, what plan do you have to solve it?" Trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, Movol III stared viciously at the tall and thin white-haired old man in front of him, once upon a time, the reputation and prestige of this once battle-hardened veteran had been completely destroyed by the poor performance of the [***] team of King Indean, and almost all the nobles in the palace stabbed him with hateful eyes, which made the already trembling marshal of the kingdom tremble.
"Back to Your Majesty, although the Tik army has entered the province of Wad, the fortress of Mano is impregnable, and there are 200,000 troops including the Third Guard of the Kingdom garrison, and Wei Chen deduces that perhaps the Tik are waiting for the arrival of the army that they meet in the east, so there is no further action. As for the situation in the north, uh, now the kingdom has no extra troops to exterminate it, and there has been no response from the Tanghe people, so ;;;;;;" Marshal Zug looked helplessly bitter, the long-paced Wang [***] team has been completely reduced to a local army that does not enter the stream, and it is simply unable to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding the country, and can you blame yourself? Military spending is decreasing every year, training is getting less and less, military horses have become the seats in front of the carriages of officials, the arrears of soldiers' salaries have been more than half a year, and there has been no mutiny to pray to God and worship Buddha, but now that they have encountered such a situation, who will complain?
There was a commotion in the hall, and a group of nobles howled angrily.
"Damn Zug, you're completely shirking your responsibilities, are we just going to wait here for the Tiks to attack us?"
"Your Majesty, let the firing squad come, drag out this stupid pig Zug and hang him, he will be responsible for all this!"
"Zug, look at the performance of your army, is it possible that the huge amount of military expenditure allocated by the kingdom every year has been fed to the dogs?
An inexplicable irritation and anger surged from Movor III's heart, and it was out of control, and the burning anger suddenly became so wild at this moment that even Movor III himself felt a little surprised, but at this time he found that he seemed to be unable to control his emotions: "Enough, you stupid asses! Shut up for me, do you think that you can solve the problem by making a noise here like this? If anyone talks nonsense to me here again, I will fucking let him put me on the gallows immediately!"
For so many years, I have never seen His Majesty the King, who has always been lazy and gentle, suddenly become so irritable and irritable, and even blurted out foul words, seeing Movol III, whose face changed a little because of his anger, it seems that everyone only remembered that His Majesty the King in front of him is the real master of the kingdom, just like the gloomy wind from the bottom of the palace suddenly swept through the hall, almost everyone was silent at once, shrunk their necks and lowered their heads, no one dared to provoke His Majesty the King at this time, it is difficult for His Majesty the King to say whether he will do anything irrational, and if he really wants to send an ignorant guy to the gallows, it is wrong。 The hall became unusually quiet, and only the sound of deliberately suppressed breathing could still be faintly heard.
At this moment, Movol had an indescribable joy in his heart, and this venting finally poured out the long-suppressed depression in his heart, which really made people feel comfortable, but the cruel reality made Movol III have to return to the current situation after a short period of pleasure.
"Sharma, hasn't the messenger sent to the Don people have returned?Is it Ravang, why hasn't there been news for so long?What about the Yakuans and the Rope?" Calming his mind, Movor's disgusted gaze swept over the nobles who had lowered their heads, and turned his hope to his minister. He doesn't have much hope for the Yakuan and Luope, these two now have their own unspeakable secrets, sending messengers is just a kind of passing scene, it is already the limit to be able to win the support of public opinion, the only hope is the Tanghe people, but it's a pity that Li Wufeng, this guy went to the East, I don't know if the Tanghe people who are not in the coach can give themselves a satisfactory answer.
