Chapter 272: Su Ya's Decision
On the streets of the imperial capital late at night, two carriages drove side by side on the road, although it was impossible to see what kind of person was sitting in the car, but the family badge full of ancient and solemn colors on the carriage still showed the extraordinary status and identity of the owner.

"Unless the family commits such a serious crime as treason, even His Majesty the Emperor can't easily erase everything in the family!
Maybe in the upper class, there will be countless open and secret battles between these wealthy nobles, but they will also abide by the rules. Because as long as you are in the whirlpool of the imperial capital, there is nothing you can decide! Likes and dislikes are not the conditions for judging friends and foes, but interests!"
Su Ya sat in the carriage like this, and after saying these words in a complicated tone, her eyes fell on Joseph: "I came to Norman's mansion today, just to reassure His Majesty the Emperor, and even to reach a tacit understanding with Norman. I know what His Majesty the Emperor needs, and all his energy is focused on this side of the temple!
Compared to the Ellios family, even the war in the northwest is far less than the temple to give him a headache, and the Ellios family will firmly stand on the side of the royal family no matter what happens, even if the emperor himself does not trust the family. ”
When Jose heard Su Ya say this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he was a little surprised when he looked at the girl: "Yes, Imperial Family, it seems that I don't think the same as you." Suya, you must have already made your own decision, right?!"
The girl nodded solemnly and said lightly: "Actually, I have been thinking about these things for the past few days, or rather, since I came back from General Heru, I have already made a decision...... General Heru used to be his grandfather's subordinate, he commanded the army in the northwest for nearly twenty years, but the imperial capital took him back with an edict, he must have resentment in his heart, but he didn't choose, because he chose to be loyal to this empire!
You may not understand this, but Joseph, you must know that the Ellios family has been following the Maud dynasty since the day it was born! It is the faith and honor of a family that follows the empire! If you have not been in such an empire and family, you will never understand this feeling.
I grew up with this kind of thinking, even if the power of the family is as monstrous as in my grandfather's time, the family will always be the nobility of the empire, a family loyal to the empire and the royal family. The same is true of General Heru, he is not an ambitious person, so his grandfather put him in the northwest, and the empire has been able to tolerate such a powerful feudal official to guard the northwest for so many years, and it is completely following such a rule.
But Mondevideo IV, whose appearance changed all that, since he succeeded to the throne, not only did he not have trust in his family, but he seemed to want to break the rule! He was a smart man, but also a very ambitious man, as an emperor, the most dream is nothing more than to expand the territory or unify the continent, and the first step for him to do this is to build a solid empire!
An empire with a clear decree and only one voice within the four seas! And this voice can only belong to him alone, whether it is the aristocracy or the Temple of Light, he must submit to the royal power! This is what he wants to see, so there is only one way in front of the family: the Ellios family, will never turn away from the royal family!!"
When Su Ya said this, her expression was a little gloomy, but her eyes were very determined: "I have already revealed some things to Norman tonight, such as after this New Year's celebration, I will remove my military power and official position together.
If Your Majesty agrees, I will temporarily return to the southern fiefdoms, and I will not retain all other official positions except for the titles of the House of Ellios. ”
When Jose heard her say this, her heart couldn't help but move suddenly, and she looked at Su Ya with some surprise: "Really think it through, has things come to this extent?"
Su Ya shook her head: "The family has always been the nobility of the empire, and there are constant battles in the imperial capital, so it may not be a bad thing if the Ellios family can get out early." Besides, the Ellos family has stood for hundreds of years, and there have been examples of the clan returning to their fiefdoms and keeping their heads in obscurity.
For example, in the past, an ancestor in the family, in order to avoid the attacks and calculations of political enemies, also handed over the power in his hand and returned to the fiefdom, and lived in seclusion for nearly ten years, and was later reused by the empire because of the Lingbei War...... I think that the wisdom of my mind is far inferior to that of our ancestors, but I can also follow their example in the past. His Majesty the current Emperor is a smart man, and even if he doesn't want to use the Ellios family, he will definitely understand the family's attitude.
I have discussed these matters with several elders in my family, and although they are far away in the southern fiefdoms, they have also expressed their support for my idea. Since the current situation is like this, there is really no need for the family to get involved in the next power struggle. ”
When the girl said this, she couldn't help but feel a little more gentle in her eyes when she looked at Jose: "Besides, Your Majesty may not let me return to the fiefdom, but should let me stay in the imperial capital." Aren't you about to take up your post in Moxi? I will now remove those military powers and positions, and I will become an ordinary aristocratic lady, and if you make any military achievements in the northwest one day, the time will ...... When the time comes, we will be transferred back to the center of the imperial capital, and we can be reunited. ”
When Jose heard Su Ya say this, her heart suddenly moved, and then she looked at the girl's face, which was clearly with a hint of crimson. Although Su Ya didn't say it explicitly, where could Qiao Se not be able to see the girl's thoughts? Su Ya also hoped that Qiao Se could make a name for herself in the army, and when the time came, she would come back as a high-ranking imperial official with real power, and the affairs of the two would be much more convenient in the future.
Thinking of this, Qiao Se didn't know where the courage came from, but he looked at Su Ya firmly, and said categorically: "Su Ya, I understand your intentions, don't worry, even if you return to the fiefdom of the southern provinces, I will definitely go back to see you."
I will not let you down in the northwest, I will definitely get ahead! When the time comes, I will go to your family and ask your elders to marry you to my ......."
When Su Ya heard him say this, her face was already crimson, and her eyes clearly flashed with a little emotion and joy, but she still turned her face to the side and deliberately whispered:
"You guy, you're talking nonsense again, who said they were going to marry you...... However, you can take care of yourself in the northwest, and don't be too impulsive in everything, especially if there is any turmoil in the northwest in the future, you must not follow your own temperament......"
"I promise you, José will get ahead, definitely!!"
Before she could finish speaking, José had already taken the girl's hand, and her eyes were full of determination......
