Chapter 601: Adults' Mouths, Children's Legs, Some Things Are Universal, and Politics is the Same!
Empress Pars was silent as she looked at the battle report in her hand, her mind running out of spins at this time.
The battle report briefly introduced Wren's achievements and his entry into the hinterland of the Byron Empire, but the Empress of Pars couldn't figure out why Wren didn't hold the victory pass and waited for the support of the empire to firmly control the victory pass, thus forcing the Byron Empire to focus on the mainland and solve the war in the coastal areas in one go? Even if he didn't want to stay at the victory pass, there was no need to go deep into the hinterland of the Byron Empire, which was simply an act of looking for death.
She couldn't guess what Wren wanted to do at this moment, Wren's image jumped on the page, as if he was grinning and asked her, surprised or unhappy.
There was no surprise at all, and the shock was about the same.
She tossed the report into a golden brazier, which was soon consumed by the fire, rubbing her swollen temples and looking out the window. She accidentally saw an ornament from the church by the window, and vaguely had some thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't grasp the signs.
After a few moments, she gave up thinking about Wren and his purpose in doing so, instead focusing on Pilagos and Prince Kant.
With the start of the national war, the Northern Expedition has also come to an end temporarily, not because she doesn't want to continue the Northern Expedition, but because the Northern Expedition is obviously a stupid and shallow view under the current situation. If there was no national war, she would not have stopped the Northern Expedition no matter what, but with this national war, she had to choose a route between internal and external troubles.
She chose an external attack.
Although the problems of the nobility were serious, it was not a matter of one or two days, since the reign of Emperor Orlando II, the nobles began to oppose the royal family and tried to overthrow the rule of the Orlando family. Their rebellion and rebellion have not been once or twice, it has become a tradition. Judging from the history of these three hundred and seventy-five years, the rebellion of the nobles did cause a huge civil strife, but they did not succeed once. The only time it seemed likely to succeed was Isaac's offensive.
Unfortunately, Isaac also failed. These nobles never knew how powerful the royal family was, and this strength had nothing to do with mere power, but with intellectual power. In the Imperial Capital, there are two seventh-level offensive magic pedestals, in addition to a group of powerful magicians existing in the Imperial Research Institute, they and their wisdom and the magical equipment made with their wisdom are the real strength of the royal family.
From this point of view, instead of focusing all the combat power and energy on internal friction, it is better to think about how to beat the full moon people.
The Full Moon People are not like the nobles who have lost most of their capital, they have been planning for a long time, and they have accumulated a lot of power, which has to make people need to be cautious about this.
It was precisely because of this that Pilagos saw the opportunity and sent a letter of surrender and a letter of invitation to war, along with a letter. In the letter, Pilagos confessed thoroughly, admitting that he was guilty and that his actions had had a bad impact on the empire and the royal family. At the same time, after he realized his mistake, he is actively trying to find a way to remedy it, and this remedy is war.
In the foreign war, Pilagos will lead the nobles of the Northland to join the war against the attack of the Moonmen until the war is completely over. If they are killed in the war, then the mistakes they have committed will end there. If they are lucky enough not to die, and hope that Empress Pars will pardon them, they will bring their families to the imperial capital and spend the rest of their lives under the watchful eye of Empress Pars.
Very attractive conditions, especially in the letter that Pilagos stated that as long as Empress Pars agreed to this proposal, then he would immediately send Prince Kant to the imperial capital to wait for Empress Pars's fate, which was the most attractive condition for Empress Pars.
What is the most feared thing of an emperor?
It's not that there are princes and ministers under her hands that she can't suppress, and it's not that the empire is in turmoil, but it's that she is afraid that someone will pose a great threat to her throne. Prince Kant was such a man that he had already turned to him among some scholars and aristocrats who had not been able to fulfill their ambitions during the reign of Empress Pars, and he even preached that Empress Pars's throne was not legitimate.
Although this is a very stupid incitement, some people believe that it is true, and even some nobles believe that Prince Kant is not lying.
The human brain is a very amazing organ, because even human beings do not necessarily know what kind of surprises their brains will bring to them. To give a very simple example, an ordinary person wandering around the park walks back and forth with nothing to do, when you don't have any impression and suspicion of him, maybe you will only look at him and continue with your own business, and you will not take him to heart, and you will not find any clues from him.
But if someone tells you that guy is a thief, your brain will make a series of guesses on its own.
You see, his thief-eyed look is looking for a target?
You see, the way he moves his fingers from time to time is not moving his flexible fingers, and he can start as soon as possible after finding the target.
Obviously, a very ordinary, very leisurely person, from a subjective standpoint, the brain will naturally gather the so-called "evidence" for the subjective information you receive. When some people listened to what Prince Kant said, their brains brought enough surprises to them. A trivial matter that was obviously unrelated, in the independent interpretation of their brains, became evidence that she had plotted to seize the throne of Prince Kant.
So Pilagos could let him go, but Prince Kant couldn't.
It's just that Empress Pars still has some hesitation, and she is not sure what she should do with Prince Kant.
Kill him in front of everyone?
I am afraid that those scholars who have always been resistant to the royal family will make up a lot of stories that are unfavorable to her, so that those civilians who do not have much affection for the imperial power and the royal family will not like the royal family even more.
Or keep him in a secret room where he doesn't see the light of day?
Whether Empress Pars herself can swallow this breath and not talk about it, those ministers, including the old emperor, may not agree.
She glanced at Vito, who was working in the outhouse, and came up with an idea.
In fact, this idea is not a good idea, and it can even be said to be bad, but sometimes it is this kind of routine that is so bad that it is all over the street, and it is also the best routine. At this point, Vito is far less intelligent than Ganwen, and if Ganwen is still around, he may take the initiative to bring it up.
To put it bluntly, it was the loyal courtiers who made their own decisions in order to be loyal and murdered the prince who was harmful to the king. When the king learned of this, he was very distressed, and considering the purpose of his courtier's doing, he could only lift it high and fall gently, so the matter was settled, and everyone got the result they wanted, and everyone was very happy.
She coughed lightly, and the movements in the hands of Vito, who was a little exhausted on the bookcase, paused, raised her head and glanced into the study a little dazedly, and it took a moment for her eyes to regain clarity. He straightened his clothes, wiped some of the ink off his hands with a white handkerchief, and walked into the study.
"Your Majesty, do you call me?", Vito's posture is very low, mainly because his ability is not enough to be qualified for the position of prime minister, and many people are questioning his ability. Even two casinos with strong backings even opened a handicap for this, betting that he could work in the position of prime minister for a few years.
If he had left it in the past, he would have had to break out, and he would have to toss it before he would stop. But now that he is the prime minister, it makes him feel that many things are obviously justified by him, but he can't happen yet.
Empress Pars bowed slightly, and muttered for a moment, "Pilagos intends to surrender, he is going to send Prince Kant to the imperial capital, while he himself goes to the Western Front to gamble with the Full Moon people. ”
Vito was stunned, and his pupils instantly tightened together, leaving only a black spot the size of a pin's eye, and then slowly dilated. He frowned and asked, "I'm afraid it's not a good thing to send Prince Kant back at this time." ”
Empress Pars was planning to use this national war to unite the nobles around her and take away the remaining privileges in the hands of the nobles, but at this time Prince Kant was sent back, no matter how to deal with Prince Kant, it would make some people have a sense of substitution, which would cause a series of possible problems.
Empress Pars scoffed, "How could I not know, but this is the most appropriate way for now. It can solve the problem of the Northern Expedition, and at the same time collect privileges, and it may have to wait a long time to miss this opportunity. ”
If Pilagos refused, he would not have made trouble, but Empress Pars had won the war with great effort, and there was a half-terminated Northern Expedition waiting for her to deal with. At that time, not only did she not have many troops in her hands, but even the nobles who participated in the Northern Expedition would not have much strength left. On the contrary, the nobles of the Northland retained a lot of strength, and the initiative was not in her hands at that time.
What's more, Pilagos chose such an excellent time to make an excessive request, in case he rejected him, it is not impossible for him to grit his teeth and completely fall towards the full moon, and when the time comes, there may be a big incident on the Western Front!
After a moment of silence, Empress Pars said, "I intend to agree to his request, but in the matter of Kant, it will take a small measure. ”
"Please show me. Vito knew that his brain was not very good, and he was after power, not to make himself smarter.
Empress Pars smiled slightly, "The biggest difference between us and civilians is that when we want to do something, there is always someone to do it for us, what do you say?"
