Chapter 32: Light and Heavy
What happened in Midu City did not cause a big wave in the entire Burning Sun Continent, and it did not even have much impact on the battle of Fute City.
One thing caught everyone's attention: a young man named Feng Luo suddenly appeared, who was appointed by the king as the commander of the Provisional Guard.
According to what everyone knows, Feng Luo has just been made a viscount and is from the Foote front. He came from a humble background and became a candidate for the pony and excelled in the candidacy phase.
After the court**, some of the candidates were arrested, including the highly vocal Huanai. Because they were bribed by Duke Ramier, they took the opportunity of meeting the king to launch a rebellion. What will happen next depends on the attitude of their family.
As for the limelight of the other candidates, they were also suppressed by Feng Luo. The reason why Feng Luo can stand out is because of his background. His Majesty the King couldn't believe that anyone who came from a big family could only be involved in the etiquette of all parties.
The big picture is decided, and it doesn't mean that the matter is over. Ramil was able to successfully launch it in the royal palace and almost succeeded, because of the collusion of various forces.
The big family, which has a close relationship with the Duke of Ramiel and has a stake, must be involved. Some small families, even ordinary wealthy merchants, were either coerced or risked to become Ramiel's followers.
The unwilling courtiers and some of the guards in the palace all participated in the incident, and there were quite a few of them. The reason is nothing more than the pursuit of a better future.
The end of failure is expected by everyone. The key is to look at the attitude of the king, when it comes to the issue of scale, the severity of the punishment will be very different.
The king summoned several highly respected ministers to discuss the matter, and Feng Luo, as the commander of the Guards, also participated in the discussions. It was not appropriate to say that the discussion was inappropriate because he did not have a chance to speak, but only listened from the sidelines.
"Davao is in a turbulent period, and such a great act of rebellion must be severely punished in order to deter Xiaoxiao!" spoke a duke, the queen's father, and the king's father-in-law, in a very tough tone.
"Not really. Do you want to raid your house and destroy your house if you don't punish you severely?" said the other duke, "It is precisely because of the turmoil that it is necessary to calm the incident as soon as possible, and not to cause panic in the people's hearts. ”
The king's father-in-law retorted: "If it is not completely calmed down, it will be internal and external troubles, and if you can't deal with the external enemy wholeheartedly, how can you fight?"
The main point of contention between the two sides is whether only the participants should be punished, or whether the family should be involved. In peacetime, there was basically no dissent, and the rebels' families could not continue to gain a foothold. But in the current situation, a careless will have an unpredictable effect.
"Keep the rebels under close guard, release the news, see how the families react, and then make a decision!" Krull said for the time being, looking tired.
But it's easy to guess what the king was thinking: try to punish only the participants, not the family. The premise, of course, is that the family can clearly show their support for the king.
It has to be said that the king took the most appropriate way to let everyone have a staircase and not tear their faces. But no one can say what will happen to the mustard in my heart until I leave it in the future.
Feng Luo pondered for a moment, and thought of Stitch, who was in a similar situation at the beginning. But the matter of Stik was not reported to the king, so he was not punished.
"Inform the penalty, prepare more knives, and execute the rebels tomorrow afternoon!" said this, and the king closed his eyes.
Except for Feng Luo, everyone else withdrew. Because Feng Luo is the commander of the Guards, he is in charge of guarding the palace. Of course, now there is no talk of guards, and those who hold various official positions will do their own thing. He didn't even know the structure of the palace, it was like an ornament.
Yes, Feng Luo became an ornament, standing there motionless. The king needed such an ornament to announce his ideas like the world. Because some ideas can't be spoken, it will make people unable to clean up.
If the king declares: I do not trust you, you must show your loyalty as soon as possible, otherwise you will be destroyed! What will be the consequences? Even the Emperor of Tianyan would not dare to speak like this, it would be tantamount to pushing the major families to the opposite side.
All the rebel families united, perhaps strong. But the royal family will not lose, and even in today's stormy situation, it can still be forcibly suppressed.
But if those families unite to resist, it will cause great trauma to Davao. If other families with ulterior motives take the opportunity to make a move, the royal family will be in danger. After coping with internal worries, there is definitely no strength to deal with external troubles.
The king chose to compromise and preserve his dignity, and everyone had a step down. Feng Luo is the staircase, you don't need to speak, but you can see it.
"Go and gather the guards, gather those who need to be executed tomorrow, and order them to be carefully guarded so that nothing goes wrong. Krull said to Feng Luo, his voice was low and he was tired to listen to.
All but one of those who are arrested will be killed. That man was Ramiel, the younger brother of His Majesty the King. When it comes to the royal family, it will always be more troublesome.
Feng Luo thought about what he had to do, and was about to quit when he suddenly stopped. Because he found out that tomorrow a lot of people will die. Nearly 1,000 people will be escorted to a high platform and their heads will be cut off.
Hundreds of deaths were not unseen by Feng Luo. But that was on the battlefield, thousands of people against the enemy, and the death of nearly a thousand people was like a ripple that would soon dissipate. But in the absence of war, thousands of people died at the same time, which is rare.
"Your Majesty, can you kill less?" Feng Luo asked softly, about the same volume as the national ** talent.
Krull was stunned for a moment, and his eyes, which had been closed, opened again. Because in the royal palace he was accustomed to others obeying orders. There were often people who contradicted him, but that was in the court. The people in the palace never questioned his orders, let alone opposed them.
Then, he reacted, the young man was on duty for the first time today. I didn't even learn the basic rules, and I was confused. The other guards who entered the palace would first learn the rules of the five days, and then they would be accompanied by experienced people.
But now, no one teaches Feng Luo. There is only one guard, to lead the way for him, so as not to get lost. Just like by Spark's side, if there is a doubt, Feng Luo asked directly.
Krull wanted to reprimand Feng Luo, although he had recently made a great contribution by reversing the situation, the palace guards had to obey the rules, including the commander. Surprisingly, Krull found himself not angry.
He chose Feng Luo to be the guardian of the palace, of course, in order to make it easier to show his attitude. In fact, it also contains an appreciation for Fengluo. It is difficult to maintain a childlike heart that transcends the rules of the world.
"There you go. Krull closed his eyes.
