Chapter 612: Enemies on All Sides
Far from dampening the enthusiasm of the people, the rain tended to inflate the cheers, as if they had to compete with the weather. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The rain became heavier and heavier, their enthusiasm grew, and the delicate flowers could not withstand the raindrops, scattered, but the crowd did not dissipate.
More and more people gathered outside the Emerald Palace to witness this moment and chant the name of the new emperor, which was the reason for the enthusiasm.
It's not that they have high expectations of Wendy, the third emperor of the empire, in fact, everyone knows that her ability to govern the country is really limited.
But they were able to meet such cheers because it represented a compromise on all sides, and the last stone hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.
Wendy's ability to govern the country is no longer good, isn't there her brothers, isn't there her husband, as long as these people can work together.
Coupled with her relationship, the unstable relationship between Wren, Leighton and Lin Ye has finally been implemented, which is reassuring.
Wendy walked up to the throne for the coronation, while Lin Ye and Layton and the others watched from below the high platform, with a relaxed smile on their faces and talking in a low voice.
"It's a bit of a surprise that you were able to give up the throne and give it to Wendy, you could have sat in that position. ”
Lin Ye looked at Leighton and asked softly, with the agreement of Leighton and the Wren brothers, the border army is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
Coupled with Leo's old ministry, compared to Wren, Leighton is obviously a more suitable candidate for emperor, which is also strongly supported by the old nobles.
"Even if I can sit in that position, you and the Far Eastern Army under your command have no objections, but I still can't deter the local powerful nobles, especially in the current situation, whether it is an external threat or the remnants of the previous dynasty, I am powerless to deal with it. ”
Layton shook his head slightly, he had a clear grasp of the situation, and it took enough strength to stand still in the storm.
"Rhaegar's statecraft is not below me, even he has not been able to sit on the throne, let alone me, once the danger breaks out, I am just a short-lived emperor, this is meaningless to me, and after a few years of fratricidal cannibalism, I can understand something. ”
"The so-called emperor is not the result of my pursuit, Brother Leo chose to go away to the Eastern Continent when he obviously still had the strength to fight back, which made me feel very much, so it's good to be like this now, it is an acceptable result for all parties, and everyone is happy and everyone is satisfied. ”
Layton looked at Wendy, who was being crowned, and the cheers in his ears were deafening, and the emotions of the people were high, it was a moment worth celebrating.
"What about your brother Wren, can the border army under his command accept this result?
Lin Ye continued to ask with a smile, he must solve all the problems, and make sure that Wendy will not make any other mess after he takes the throne.
"Wren he has been in the army, although people say that he is very much like his father, but I watched him grow up, I know very well what he thinks, he is not a qualified candidate for the emperor, he himself knows it very well, he has no such ambition, but you. ”
Layton threw the question onto Lin Ye, looking at the young man with a complicated look, there were many things he also wanted to be sure.
"I, what can I have? If you have any doubts, just tell me, you also know that there is not much time left for us, and we must solve the internal problems as soon as possible, so that we can be consistent with the outside world, otherwise the front foot has just left the royal capital, and the back foot will catch fire, which will be very bad. ”
Lin Ye directly made it clear, now the borders of the north and south are in an emergency, and the severity of the situation is not only that.
According to the latest information, an expeditionary force has arrived from the Holy City in the area controlled by the Church of Light on the western side of the empire.
The Church of Light has accumulated power for hundreds of years, and it will be a very terrifying force once it erupts, and it is not idle in the East China Sea of the Empire.
A large fleet is on its way, and it can be said that the empire is facing a dangerous situation of being attacked on all sides, of course, only a very few people know about it.
"Actually, it shouldn't be you who should worry about these problems, anyway, Wendy is my own sister and Wren, she sits in this position, neither I nor Wren have any opinions, but you are different, you are more suitable for this position than we are, do you really choose not to sit by yourself?"
Layton stared into Lin Ye's eyes, this was his deepest doubt, few people were unmoved by the supreme power.
The young man in front of him was closer to that position than anyone else, but he chose to give up, which made Layton a little apprehensive and unable to put his mind at ease.
If he attacks, no one in the entire empire will be able to stop him, and now that he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, if he joins forces with the enemy.
In particular, he still has a good friendship with Green of the Southern Dermok Federation, which is definitely a devastating blow to the Empire.
It can be said that the rise and fall of the empire depends entirely on him alone, and his attitude will determine whether the country will prosper or ruin!
"Me? What do you think I've come all the way from the Far East to the City of Roses for, so that I can sit in that position today?"
Lin Ye asked Layton rhetorically, he raised his troops before the start of winter, and after several naval battles, the battle of the Rose Plains, and the battle of thousands of miles.
After a series of battles, he appeared here, and the risks taken during this period were unimaginable to ordinary people, and the slightest mistake would lead to a catastrophe.
"But if you're not doing it for power, why are you paying such a price? I'm very curious about this question. ”
Layton was silent for a moment, anyone needs a reason to do something, he didn't think that the young man in front of him would do something that didn't have a reason.
"What I want is an entire era, and there are countless kings in history, but how many people can go down in history and promote the progress of the whole era, and have the name of immortality? Power and wealth are full of temptation, but they are just clouds and meaningless. ”
Lin Ye shook his head, there are too many emperors in human history, mediocre, tyrannical, and weak, like countless carp crossing the river.
However, the vast majority of these people were hastily drowned in the river of history, and later generations often recorded their exploits in only a few words.
"I see, this is really a great ambition. ”
Layton nodded, he saw in the young man's eyes something he had never seen before.
The coronation ceremony continues.
