Constantine, the imperial capital of Eastern Rod.

One of the largest cities in the world, it is located on a small hill and borders the Sea of Marmara to the south.

It passes through the Bosphorus, as well as the seas connected by the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea.

There are few small islands in this sea, and there are no strong currents, and the wind and waves are calm.

Junbao is built on a hill, condescending, adjacent to the coast, and extends in all directions.

The foreigners from the East who had been to Junbao wanted to be the masters of this place.

For example, the Ottomans and the Abbasids.

The news of the giant's death reached the castle five days after Shehir fled back to Greece.

This day was the time for discussion in the Imperial Council.

Before dawn, thirty Dongluo nobles rode into the Grand Palace, known as the "Holy Palace".

The Grand Palace covers an area of 700,000 square meters, and is inhabited by palace maids, eunuchs, forbidden soldiers, Orthodox monks, and court officials serving the royal nobles.

Combined, these people are more than fifteen thousand.

Their presence has led to the expansion of the Grand Palace.

The palaces were connected by arcades, and additional gardens, towers, schools, high-rise buildings, banquet halls, baths, taverns, warehouses, churches, forbidden military grounds, and so on were built.

It has political, economic, cultural, and educational functions.

The kings of light called Byzantium degenerate, but Byzantium also looked down on the former relatives in the west who had a low sense of hygiene.

It was close to six o'clock in the morning.

The Grand Palace rang the bell six times.

The emperor, under the guidance of the eunuchs, entered the Golden Hall of the Purple Emperor.

This large hall, which looks like a church, is seated on a marble staircase, and is made of ivory from North Africa, pearls from the Balkans, and precious stones and gold from the East.

Behind the throne is a carved image of the Lord with fine needles, and the throne is covered with cushions that allow two people to sit side by side.

Legend has it that the lord of the Orthodox Church once descended to sit on the right side of the throne, so the Purple Emperor did not do the middle to express respect and remembrance.

In front of the throne hung a purple cloth tent with jewels adorned on it.

The two rooms of the throne contain two large gilded bronze statues, which are the pinnacle of Byzantine craftsmanship and can open their mouths to roar and even turn their bodies.

Legend has it that people who have visited the Sacred Palace have only two ideas, one is to worship it and praise its greatness.

The other is to conquer it!

"Ah......h

The Emperor yawned and watched as the giants had left behind in the castle to pray.

Now that the giant is also the Duke of Kingcastle, the emperor doesn't have to do anything.

The only thing he had to do was to let the giant's men give him when he wanted to spend money.

"If you have something, just say it."

The emperor wanted to wait to go to the imperial garden to have fun with the palace maid and his lover to fly kites, and he wanted to go down to the court as soon as he went to court.

"Your Majesty......!"

This time, the official's face was unusual.

Then a knight knelt down on one knee and "the regency died in battle......

The eunuchs and the Praetorian Guards who heard this glanced at the emperor.

They were better informed, and they knew it last night.

The Emperor apparently did not react to what this meant.

"Dead? Who?"

"Your Majesty Ashklay."

A little emperor with low intelligence and lazy nature, without the giant tiger by his side, he is a weak lamb.

Due to foreign pressure from the East, the generals on the Byzantine border were constantly heavily armed, and the empire could not control them.

In the past hundred years, before Ashoklai, there were three generals who participated in the drama of deposing the emperor.

Everyone looked at the emperor and thought carefully.

Especially those nobles who have private soldiers.

"Shehir fled back to Greece, not only destroying the Greek navy, but also causing a bunch of nobles to fall into the hands of the enemy, unworthy of being Komnenos."

A knight who was listening suddenly spoke arrogantly.

He was instructed by other nobles who wanted to test him.

And this time, only cronies and officials were the only ones who spoke for the giant, and not even everyone.

"So what do you say?"

"It is imperative to raise a new army to defend the sea and the security of the castle, and to re-defeat our enemies."

"Who can hold this position?"

The emperor didn't know what to do, he looked at the eunuchs beside him.

The Imperial Chamberlain Miao Sulu approached the Purple Emperor's Golden Tent at this time and whispered.

"The princes of the Aegean Sea are all old to Ashurklai, and most of the lords of the Eastern Army are arrogant, with heavy troops in hand, and often do not obey the decree, Your Majesty, I think we should look for obedient and reliable princes in the Balkan Peninsula."

The position of the Great Chamberlain means that the person who sleeps next to the emperor.

It was originally the meaning of those who were close to him, and later became the chief of eunuchs.

The Purple Room absorbed the rituals of the Eastern monarchs and created a large number of titles.

For example, these nobles who can enter the holy palace in front of them, although they are all nobles, but if they are only knights, they can only observe, unless they add a "dignitary" title to their titles, they can speak.

The meeting ended in a panic for the emperor.

Officials walked out in a hurry.

Ouchi's servant Misulu stayed, asking the emperor to go to another imperial garden.

The teenage little emperor is playful by nature.

Soon, he was fascinated by the toys that Musulu had specially prepared and the Abbasid beauties he had brought from the East.

"Musulu, you can do it for me."

"Know, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro, the military lords of these places are loyal to Your Majesty, we should select the elite from the nobles in these places to organize a new forbidden army, but this will cost a lot of ......"

"How much does it cost?"

But in the next second, the emperor heard the woman's playful voice, "Your Majesty is here to arrest me!"

Immediately said, "Whatever you want, I don't understand anyway." ”

"Your Majesty, we must ask Sehir to explain why he fled back to Greece alone, but handed over a large number of Purple Chamber soldiers to foreign enemies, even if he did not come to Junbao, he must express his apologies."

The emperor thought for a moment and was a little scared, "But will he be angry?"

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of Rome, only they are afraid, soon, the princes of all places will be truly loyal to you, in the castle, you are the highest existence."

After Sehir fled back to Greece, he didn't care about foreign affairs, and he didn't care about the imperial edict from Junbao who invited him to report to the imperial capital, and the pirates made a fuss, he let his men deal with it, and the nobles of his legal principles fought, and he fought fifty boards each.

At the same time, he strengthened the defenses of the Greek kingdom and amassed heavy troops.

As soon as his father left, he suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall.

Not long after returning to Greece, he received information from nobles who had been suppressed by his father that they were coming to assassinate him.

Once, during a meal, due to improper preservation of food, the tester suddenly vomited and collapsed, and he regarded it as murder.

is as strong as a father, just leave, let alone himself?

No matter what their status is, the cronies around him have been pulled out by him to take important positions.

His father's old minister, he both relied on and disliked.

Rely on them to protect yourself, and resent them pointing at their noses every day and doing things they don't want to do.

The title of King of Greece, he was already satisfied.

The struggle for power then heats up.

The names of Bran, Chai Su and others are also on the Purple Room's must-kill list.

But before the Purple Room was in power, both of them were safe.

Ashklay was very contemptuous of eunuchs, and after bribing eunuchs, he didn't take these eunuchs seriously at all.

They were not allowed to approach the Emperor easily.

He also formed a team of eunuchs and ministers, and except for high-level eunuchs, middle and lower eunuchs had no chance to get close to the emperor.

There were also many little eunuchs in the Holy Palace, who were humiliated by the knights under Aschu Klein.

They forced the young and good-looking eunuchs to pretend to be women, make fun of them, and even do even more terrible things......

Therefore, Musulu is also extremely disgusted with the giant and his son Shehir, and only openly smiles allegiance.

But at present, if he wants to control Junbao and have troops, even if he scatters all his wealth, it will not be enough to buy too many people.

So he had to draw external forces to help himself.

The princes of the Western Balkans, for a long time, were far from the center of power in the Purple Chamber.

At this moment, I throw an olive branch, I think they will agree.

The regency was lost, and the emperor was still unable to govern himself, and careerists began to move.

Strong nations tend to die from infighting rather than from outsiders.

Emperors, royal families, eunuchs, etc., formed a force.

The border princes of the Purple Chamber supported each other.

Originally, the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre of the Empire supported the emperor and the eunuchs.

However, the eunuchs wanted to win over the princes from the west to enter the castle and take charge of the city's defense, so as to arouse vigilance.

Because these eunuchs were really afraid, in the past few coups, the eunuchs were purged after encountering the head of the army.

Forty years ago, the fifty-year-old Musulu encountered a coup d'état to expel the emperor, and on that occasion, 700 eunuchs died in one night.

Eunuchs under the age of twelve, as long as they survive, have experienced the fate of a lifetime of fear.

When I dream back in the middle of the night, I often wake up.

This time, Musulu struck first, and he bribed some of the giants' guards who remained in Junbao, about 1,000 people.

As soon as the giants died, the treasury was empty, and they could not receive money.

Shehir did not come out to preside over the overall situation.

They began to set fire to the castle.

The Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre advocated repression, but Musulu used them as swords.

Betray the Knights of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre and let thousands of rebels raid them.

The eunuchs have no children, most of them are alone, and they are so bold that they are beyond ordinary people.

Now that the coup has begun, let's be more chaotic.

The spark of the Junbao rebellion began to burn the prairies.

......

Inside the High Court Palace (manor).

As soon as the sun went down, Bran was lying in bed.

Soon fell asleep.

He had a dream.

He wore armor and rode a fast horse.

Looking down from the sky, the black pressure was overwhelming, and they were all his armorers.

The black eagle and the white dragon fluttered and mixed up.

He seemed to have a beard, and there were several young people around him, somewhat similar to himself.

Bran saw the brave dragoons under the banner of Timur's Black Dragon.

In addition to his own Eagle Dragon Battle Flag, and the Black Dragon Banner.

Circle, square, triangle, four corners, six angles, all kinds of shield flags, beast flags all appeared on the battlefield.

In front of Bran is also a powerful enemy army that cannot be seen at a glance.

The war horse in front of the enemy has piercing eyes and majestic momentum.

A simple hiss, like a dragon's roar and a tiger's roar, will deaf both ears.

When the armies of both sides take a step, the earth will tremble.

"Heaven and earth are my pastures."

"Where the sun shines, honor my command."

Holy Rome against the Timurid Khanate.

Just as the two emperors were about to give the order to charge, a footstep woke Bran to his wife, Zoe, in a dressing gown.

"Temple...... Under. ”

Dressed thinly, cool, and with a flattering look, Zoe is dressed.

"You're guilty."

"Ahh

Zoe was pulled by Bran, and under the latter's fierce attack, Zoe's palms, clenched and relaxed, announcing surrender.
