Chapter 280: Training
"Also, Duke Leonard is in charge of the military affairs of the southern border, and told him that he can send troops. The Emperor gave the last order in a flat tone. However, Barrow, who had followed the emperor for many years, still saw that the emperor was not at peace when he issued this order.
His withered right hand kept beating on the arm of the chair, making a "click" sound, like a general beating a snare drum on a march, which was too unusual for an emperor who had always paid attention to his appearance.
This order is clueless, Barrow racked his brains, and he couldn't see the meaning of this order, "Duke Leonard, isn't he the head of the city guard?
"Or maybe Duke Leonard, the Emperor's most trusted man, was also implicated in the Great Prince's rebellion?"
"And what is the so-called action? Is there any arrangement for the Emperor in the south?"
A series of questions arose, but Barrow knew too little information, and he was as clever as he was, and he could not guess the Emperor's intentions from this series of wills.
After Prime Minister Cenarius received his will and withdrew from the palace, Barrow, who was full of worries, suddenly heard the emperor greet him.
"Barrow, come here. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Barrow cautiously knelt down in front of the Emperor, he raised his head slightly, and peeked at the Emperor, just in time to meet the Emperor's cold and majestic eyes. Barrow, who had already been frightened, hurriedly lowered his head to the ground, never daring to raise his head again.
Barrow thought of the dead guards, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.
"This king has just received news that the rebels of the great prince not only dared to attack the palace, but also attacked the noble senate in a frenzy, and according to reports, there were many killings and heavy casualties. ", Grievous the Great said lightly.
"What?", Barrow's head buzzed like a sudden blow, and he almost fell to his knees and collapsed on the ground. You must know that he himself is a representative of the Senate to serve in the palace, if the nobles in the Senate are really dead, then how can he deal with himself in the palace?
It can be said that Barrow's foundation and biggest backer were destroyed overnight.
"Barrow, remember what I said to you earlier? I said that you will have a great future. ", the Emperor then said.
Barrow shuddered, he slowly raised his head, and saw the Emperor looking at him meaningfully, "The Senate will definitely be rebuilt, and a representative Senate will be elected after a while." These nobles are the foundation of the kingdom, and Barrow, you have to play a part in it. ”
If you still can't understand what the Emperor is saying at this time, then Barrow is too stupid. He bowed his head deeply and said in awe, "Do as you wish, Your Majesty. ”
......
It has been several days since the rebellion of the Great Prince, but the impact of this major event on the kingdom and on Shenghui City cannot be smoothed out in this short period of time. It can even be said that the impact has only just begun.
In a short period of time, several nobles have been raided by Prime Minister Cenarius, and their crimes are all about assisting the "Great Prince" in rebellion, and this kind of behavior that usually infringes on the interests of the nobles and causes a great backlash from the nobles in the city has rarely received much resistance, and Prime Minister Cenarius's actions have been surprisingly smooth.
On the one hand, the reason is that the accusations of the great prince are known all over the city, and the conversation between him and the emperor was heard by the whole city that night, which can be said to be a certainty that cannot be washed away. Although the nobility had great immunity from ordinary crimes because of their noble status, this in no way included treason. If Grievous the Great were to punish him on this ground, even the Senate would have nothing to say.
On the other hand, the reason was that the Senate was baptized in blood, and the nobles could not find a leader for a while, leading all the nobles to gather strength against the royal family. Under the scattered sand, no big nobleman could confront the royal family alone.
It is said that the patriarchs of several great nobles have already begun to take the lead in electing new representative elders.
In addition, the lack of unity among the nobles was also an important reason, and for some nobles, the raid of Prime Minister Cenarius was a good thing for them. The royal family can steal the family property, and the property left by these convicted nobles has become ownerless. This is a big piece of fat, and several nobles are making a fuss about this piece of fat, which adds a bit of chaos to the city.
In addition, the biggest impact is the competition for the succession of the crown prince, with the withdrawal of the eldest prince, the call for the second prince to succeed to the throne can be said to be unparalleled. With the support of the Holy Sect, he was already the strongest and the most famous, and originally only the eldest prince could fight against him, but now with the fall of the eldest prince, in the eyes of many people, the second prince has no opponents, and this throne is in his hands.
......
However, the chaos in Shenghui City could not affect the borders of the kingdom for the time being, and at the eastern border, in the northernmost Cape City, a huge team was slowly advancing. The team was well-equipped and neatly lined up, and they wore violet-patterned banners, which looked like well-trained regular troops of the kingdom, but the soldiers on the march looked lazy and listless.
As he walked, a soldier complained in a low voice, "We have finally reached Cape City, and our marching training can finally be over." ”
"Not really. Another person on his side said: "This road is north, west, and south, and it goes back and forth several times, isn't it a toss." ”
"I heard that it was a new idea that the newly appointed corps commander came up with, saying that long-term training can enhance combat effectiveness. Okay, this training has been gone for more than three months, and I don't think it's going to enhance combat effectiveness, even if you walk, you can walk dead. Another continued.
"Finally, the old man still knows a thing or two, and he promised before that when he arrived in Cape City, the training will officially end, otherwise I think this team will really be dragged down. ”
"Yes, yes, this training is finally coming to an end, otherwise Lao Tzu will really be tired to death. Several soldiers in a row complained.
Another person spoke a little louder: "I think that the commander of the legion is probably an idiot nobleman who doesn't know where he came from, and after reading some books, he thought he would fight, and came to us to fill the garlic." The person next to him hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Just your big mouth, criticize the official, you don't want to die. ”
