Nebula Controversy
The quiet chamber echoed "Oooo
Kevin's warm fingers tapped on the back of the chair without rhythm, and also on the heart of every nobleman. Silence was the voice of the aristocracy, and the dripping sweat kept slipping to tell the pressure of the little nobles.
There had been silence for two hours, and there had been a burst of laughter after Kevin had described the words of the elf Moxi to all the nobles, until the fat Count Richia had also noticed His Majesty's serious face, and the chamber fell silent.
"Ahem... Ahem cough "The cough is still Duke Nebula, this old duke is the largest duke in the territory of the Harlem Empire, and the family history can be traced back to the first generation of the Harlem royal family. At this time, the conference hall dared to be the first to speak, and the first to speak, everyone knew that he was the only one.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that for the time being, regardless of the truth of what this elven messenger says, he can be sent to the Holy Empire. Duke Nebula looked at Emperor Kevin solemnly, his expression extremely serious.
With Duke Nebula's statement, a large part of the nobles present seemed to be able to hear their hearts return to their bodies, and the feeling of sweat slipping down their backs began to lighten. However, none of the mature nobles echoed, and everyone looked at the floor seriously, and seriously swept towards Emperor Kevin the Great.
"My dear Duke, your plan to lead the way is bound to fail. Give the elven messengers to the church now, and they won't help us send troops to quell the rebellion. If they really sent troops to "help" our Harlem Empire, would you dare to put the Holy Horsemen into the Empire in a grand manner? We simply don't have so many Holy Rank forces to balance them, and the national policy of fighting with the Holy Empire is to fight outside the city! Don't you remember? My Lord Duke! And the aid that this envoy has offered to mankind, let alone expect the Holy War Church to agree, so what's the use of handing it over to them? The most important thing is that if the Holy Empire gives us an order, then we take it or not? The lost land or money and food are all from our Harlem Empire, what good is it for us to hand them over?!" Emperor Kevin the Great said in a fierce voice, questioning the respected duke lord.
"Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, and the minister knows that the plan he proposed before must not work, and he does not want to continue to make plans along that plan. The minister just thought that it would not be in our interest if we signed an alliance with the alien alliance, or if we unilaterally chose to fight a decisive battle with the alien alliance. "Duke Xingyun, as the oldest duke, is already sweating like rain at the moment, although his knees are not weak, but the unstoppable sweat on his forehead fully reflects the mood of the old duke at the moment.
Kevin didn't speak, his fingers still tapping on the back of his chair, thinking in his heart. "Suppose we hand over the elven messengers to the church, of course we give them the right to choose, but again we take this opportunity to express a double meaning. ”
The Duke raised his head slightly, and saw that Emperor Kevin seemed to be moved, and hurriedly continued, "First, our Harlem Empire does not want to replace the Holy Empire, and there is no conflict of interests. In this way, their desire to go to war against us will be weakened, and the possibility of us being defeated by the Holy Empire at the same time as we are at war or defending with the aliens is greatly reduced. ”
Wiping his sweat, the more Duke Nebula spoke, the more he felt that Emperor Kevin approved his point of view. "The second point is also to give the church the right to choose, and whatever they choose, they will give us orders to the Harlem Empire. It seems that our Harlem Empire seems to be subservient to the Church, but in fact, we can also take this opportunity to ask the Church for supplies. There is a reason for the defense to need materials for defense, assuming that an agreement is reached with the alien alliance to form a new alliance, then all the materials and headquarters of the new alliance must be set up in our Harlem Empire due to the geographical location, and after the church's continuous supply of materials enters our Harlem Empire, how to distribute it is also up to us, my respected majesty. ”
"Count Lin, what do you think?" Kevin stopped his fingers, his eyes did not stay on Duke Nebula's body anymore, but turned his head to look at the first heir of the Lin family's army, Lin Yi.
"Your Majesty, the minister basically agrees with Lord Nebula's opinion, but please allow the minister to meet with the elven envoy. Lin Yi didn't answer Kevin immediately, but pondered for a moment.
When Duke Xiluo of Nebula heard Lin Yi's echo, he was relieved that Emperor Kevin's anger before should basically not be a problem, and the opportunity should not be wrong. The nobles present also breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere eased.
Kevin frowned, a little disappointed, and stood up to leave. "Quasi" echoed in the main hall
The nobles walked out in twos and threes, and Xiluo quickly walked to Lin Yi's side. smiled and said to Lin Yi, "Today, thanks to the Earl, I can be exempted from His Majesty's punishment, and this meeting that was originally scheduled to be the Congress of the Century has also been able to end early, thank you." ”
"Your Excellency the Duke is polite, I just seconded your suggestion, and I can't talk about any credit, mainly relying on your wisdom and decision. Lin Yi's expression was a little strange, his stiff facial muscles were a little shaky and he smiled, and his praise for Xiluo was very unnatural.
The two chatted and walked around until they left the palace before saluting and saying goodbye. Earl Lin Yi approached the carriage and before he could speak, a person appeared behind the carriage.
"Lord Earl, please come with me, Your Majesty will summon you in the study. The guard smiled and whispered to Lin Yi.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Guard. ”
"Go back first, and I'll go home on my own later." ”
Lin Yi avoided the sentry and ears, turned his head sideways and gave an order to the soldiers in the clan, and followed the captain of the guard to Kai's bookstore.
"Smack" Kevin angrily smashed the last cup, and Lin Yi just walked into the study. The devastated study made Lin Yi a little surprised, although Kevin's anger was inevitable, but the extent was somewhat unexpected.
"Lin Yi, Lin Yi, I want to take this opportunity today to suppress the prestige of the old man in Xilo, and I want the young nobles to have more opportunities to express themselves, don't you see?" Kevin looked at his friend Lin Yi, who had grown up together, with resentment.
"Your Majesty, the minister can see it, but this matter is too big, this is not the time to suppress the biggest nobles, Your Majesty, those young nobles are not enough for the military and civilians, if there is a war, it is far from enough to rely on them. Lin Yi felt Kevin's anger and was silent for a while, after all, he couldn't help his former friend.
"I know that it is far from enough, these great nobles, a group of nobles led by Duke Nebula are indeed the pillars of the country and the reliance of the Harlem Empire. But troubled times create heroes, and the more times like this, the more opportunities are given to up-and-comers!
"Yes, Your Majesty, please let me meet this messenger first, Mohssi, I have always found this too strange, and there are many strange details to be asked. In the end, we can still come up with another plan to suppress Hilo. ”
Lin Yi was also half-convinced that a warship of unknown creatures suddenly appeared on the sea to attack the race on land. A good aristocratic education fully proves that in the past two thousand years, there has never been such a thing in the mainland, maybe it is really a trick of the interracial alliance, Lin Yi is not sure if he does not examine it carefully.
"There is no other way now, Lin Yi, there is a tacit understanding between us, don't give Xiluo a chance next time, the Nebula Territory is too big. Kevin yelled at Lin Yi fiercely, but he also knew in his heart that this matter could not be defined yet, and he would investigate Moxi again.
