The Rus' nobles whispered, but they didn't take this Ivanov, who had just come forward, seriously. At this moment, the Rus' are not yet a civilized race, and in the eyes of the Eastern Roman bigwigs, they can only be regarded as slightly civilized barbarians.

Barbarians have what barbarians have in common, that is, they advocate force and despise those who do not use force, but rely on trickery and trickery. And Ivanov, who was scolded as a coward, is such an alternative Rus. Its humanities are not successful, but it is a small abacus in the stomach. The crackling of calculations made a big deal, so it was very advantageous when competing with other Rus' nobles for pasture and population. Many of you have suffered from him. If this guy is in battle in person, the wheel and big axe are round, and the benefits are taken in this way. Then no one will say anything. But if it's a trick with yīn......

So it's no wonder that this guy has a bad reputation.

However, thanks to his quick brain, Ivanov was the first Rus' nobleman to write a table of surrender at the moment when the Norman army attacked Ukraine. This made some impression on Egil. And then, through Nemulis's intelligence network, Egil went through the Rus' nobles in the entire northern Ukraine, and it seemed that there were several suitable candidates, but only Ivanov had left an impression on Egil before. So this guy got a lot of luck, or rather, this guy's luck was quite bad.

So, during an official meeting with the Rus' nobles in northern Ukraine, Egil approached him and gave him a slightly dangerous, but very rewarding task.

Ivanov knew that he had no choice, and that the handsome emperor had a temper that he could not afford as a small nobleman. Moreover, the remuneration given to him by His Majesty the Emperor is indeed very yòu people.

"Your people, how big is the size of the tribe you can control, I'm sorry to tell you, if you can complete the task I gave you, I will multiply that number tenfold. "Ten times" Ivanov couldn't help but swallow. Slobber. After that, he decided to die for the Norman emperor.

That's it. When all the Rus' nobles present looked at him, Ivanov was a little weak, but when he thought of the Norman Emperor's promise, he had ten times more courage, he cleared his throat and began to speak: "Everyone, first of all, I want to ask you a question, do you think the Norman Emperor is a good king?" Although I don't know what this means, the answer of the Rus' nobles can be imagined.

"Of course!"

"I have never met a better monarch than His Majesty Egil!"

"If this were not the case, then we would not be serving His Majesty Egil as the monarch!" "His Majesty Egil is the best emperor in this world!"

"Long live Your Majesty Egil!!" and in this way, the Rus' nobles rushed to express their loyalty and admiration for Egil. The emperor, who had been complimented, smiled and nodded, which seemed to be nothing wrong.

Then, immediately afterwards, Ivanov continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, how vast do you think the territory that His Majesty Egil can control?"

This question is a bit more difficult than the previous one-choice question with only one option. But after a short period of thought, the Rus nobles still gave a satisfactory answer.

"Huge!"

"Very big!"

"Bigger than Rome!"

"Your Majesty's empire is definitely bigger than Alexander!"

"A hundred of the best horses can run to death!"

"The land under the moon can be ruled by His Majesty!"

Well, the last one that is more literary and artistic is not said by the Ross clan. Rather, a Norman spy hiding among them, shouted in the Ukrainian-style Danish dialect of the Rus' nobles.

"That's right! The land under the moon can be ruled by His Majesty!"

The Rus' nobles were still unclear at the moment, and when they heard the slogan of such a bunker, they immediately complied.

"That's it!" Although he didn't know who helped him, Ivanov felt that his task seemed to be about to be completed: "Then do you think that Ukraine can be ruled by His Majesty the Emperor?!",

"Of course!" the Rus nobles nodded, feeling that this problem was simply too level, didn't they welcome Egil over just to let him "rule" Ukraine, of course, the specific problem was analyzed on a case-by-case basis, and it was up to them, the Rus' nobles, to solve it.

His Majesty the Emperor only needs to grasp the major policies of the country. For example, diplomatic, or aristocratic welfare and the like.

"Do you think, then, that His Majesty Egil can rule Belarus?!" Ivanov asked, by saying this.

"Of course, of course. This time, the Rus' nobles answered faster. Belarus? What does it matter to you?! I am not a nobleman there......

"And what about Crimea?" Ivanov then asked.

"No problem!" "After taking control of Ukraine, is it going to attack Crimea?"

Well, this one looks normal, no big deal.

"And what about Novgorod?" "Of course!"

Do you want to help Novgorod regain its state, or do you want to fight against the Grand Duchy of Moscow?

Scared, whatever I am, just nod your head.

"Grand Duchy of Moscow?"

"No problem!" "Neo-Scandinavian?" "No problem!" "Bōlan Lithuania?"

"No problem!" "Kievan Rus?"

"No problem!" "What about all the Rus'?"

"Good!"

Ivanov's face turned red, and he thought, I am just waiting for your words! Then he clapped his hands desperately and shouted loudly: "Then since everyone agrees, then His Majesty Egil will be able to obtain the inheritance of Kievan Rus! He will also be able to rule all the Rus' people.1 Your Majesty will now be not just a single country, or the original Norman emperor! He will also be the new king of the Rus' No, not a king, it's Kai Ti, it's the Tsar! The Rus Tsar! Long live the Skadra Grímsson family! It will be the new master of the Rus', the new royal family of the whole of Eastern Europe!!""......"

It was only then that some Ross felt that something was wrong. Some of the Rus' nobles were scared to wake up at the time, and it was not what they imagined! They only wanted to vassalize the Normans at first, they didn't want to give him the power of Kievan Rus', or simply the Rus', one of them, this and these two different! Let a Norman be their emperor, and let a Norman be the tsar of all Rus'. It's two things entirely. The legal effect of the latter is countless times higher than that of the former!

If Egil still only came to the land as a Norman emperor, what would it be called? If nothing happens, but with the slightest disturbance, then the Rus' nobles can drive him away as a "foreigner". Again restore the autonomy of the Rus' people. In fact, many Rus' aristocrats played such calculations. First lay dormant under Egil's wings. When he makes a mistake, let him spit out all the territory!

In the minds of the Rus' people, Egil was an outlander, an outsider, a trustee, who had only temporarily, temporarily, and by chance gained dominion over the territory. It can be lost at any time. In other words, what they Rus have is a chance. Even if he took 10,000 steps back, Egil didn't make any mistakes. However, as a guest and in the main position, he will definitely be tolerant and generous in his policy towards the Rus' nobles. so that the Rus' nobles would support his rule.

However, if Egil had proclaimed the Rus Tsar, the situation would have been different. With such a righteous name and the strong military support of the entire Norman army, he could put aside these Rus' nobles, and could justifiably take over the whole of Eastern Europe, take over all the Rus' countries, and make all the Rus' people submit to him. At that time, Emperor Egil, who had great righteousness and sufficient strength, would still treat them as politely as he does now?

The banquet, which was lively just now, became silent for a while. The Ross nobles are not all very smart, but they are not stupid either, and even if there is a fool who doesn't even know what to say, the person standing next to him will kick the ass of these idiots and warn them to be quiet... All the Rus' nobles had their eyes fixed on Egil. Want to hear what he had to say.

So, the Norman emperor chuckled, stood up, and said, "How can I dare to call myself the Tsar of Rus?"

Naturally, the Rus nobles have never seen an oriental-style show, and they have never heard of the allusions of the three oaks and three Jeans. When I heard Egil say this for a while, I thought it was just Ivanov's own opinion, and I was immediately relieved.

But then, another voice came from among the Rus': "Your Majesty, don't be humble!

Ross and Norman are of the same species, and His Majesty will certainly be dissatisfied with his majesty's appointment as Tsar of Rus!" The Rus nobles looked left and right, but they didn't see which person said just now, no one was convinced, just kidding!

I just didn't dare to say it, for fear that the Norman emperor would hold a grudge......

"No, no, no, I sent troops to Eastern Europe just to eliminate the scourge of the war and save the people from fire and water, without selfishness, God can testify. How can I be honored?"

So Egil humbled for the second time [To be continued]
