Chapter 578: Prince of Persia

"General Assam, what you said just now is too rude, standing in front of you at this moment is His Royal Highness the Prince!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and a simple sentence immediately caused a commotion among the soldiers.

And with the sound of this voice, a middle-aged man who was also wearing a military uniform and whose rank was definitely not low at a glance stepped forward steadily.

"His Royal Highness? General Kafka, are you sure? The Persian veteran named Assam asked the middle-aged officer.

It's no wonder he asks like this, because their majesty is so capable of giving birth, plus a long life span and a huge harem, leaving aside those princes and princesses who have died.

As far as he knew, His Majesty had nearly 200 sons and daughters.

It can even be said that even their majesty himself may not be able to recognize his sons and daughters.

Not to mention, those of them who are courtiers.

However, in response to General Assam's question, General Kafka's face clearly showed a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Of course I'm sure! This is the Sixty-Nine Princes, His Royal Highness Dodoro Neil! ”

That categorical tone couldn't be questioned by him.

At the same time, General Kafka, who is also a veteran in the army, can make such a statement, which is enough to convince him.

In this way, although their majesty does not pay much attention to these children of his own, they still have to remain in awe of these courtiers.

"Your Highness, it was the old minister who was rude just now, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."

In response, the young man named Dodoro Neil hurriedly took two steps forward and helped the old general who was saluting him up.

"General Assam doesn't have to be like this, it's just a minor misunderstanding."

This attitude of Todoro Neil, coupled with the military talent he showed in the battle just now, made General Assam's evaluation of this prince skyrocket.

At least compared with the princes he knew, this sixty-nine prince was not a straw bag, and the attitude he showed was also more comfortable.

In the next few days, the Persian army stationed in the border camp could not have been calm.

Their Persian emperor, who had been killed in a previous battle with the orc forces, was unrecognizable by the time they found their bodies from the battlefield.

However, through the clothes on the body, they also determined the identity of the corpse.

At this time, the special situation naturally could not hold a funeral with great fanfare, and after a short period of grief, the body of their Emperor Majesty was hurriedly cremated and buried.

Immediately afterwards, several veteran generals in the army began to discuss the matter of the heir.

After all, a kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day.

Although all their Persian territory had fallen into the hands of Veron Gael, and there were only more than 30,000 troops left under their command, they needed to have an heir even if they considered what was going on.

At this time, in the Persian tent on the border, several generals of the army were discussing this matter.

"There's nothing to say, everyone has seen it, among the princes, Prince Hussein is the most outstanding, and the one who can inherit His Majesty's will to complete the great cause of restoring the country must be Prince Hussein!"

In the tent, General Kafka expressed his attitude quite decisively, and many officers around him also responded.

Although this also includes many officers in Kafka's faction, it is enough to show that the previous performance of Dodoro Neal has earned him a pretty good evaluation in the hearts of these veterans.

Even General Assam, who can be said to be the most senior among the veterans, nodded in his heart.

Of course, on the bright side, he didn't make any statement.

At the same time, for the sake of fairness, he still asked: "Are there any other candidates you want to recommend?" ”

However, even General Assam himself did not expect that his question would really be a problem.

"I recommend the Thirty-Seven Princes, Solomon Neil." The veteran who spoke at this time was not shallow in seniority, and there were quite a few officers on his side.

"Although Prince Hussein has shown considerable military talent, in the long run, if you want to become the heir of Your Majesty, the most important thing you need should be the ability to govern the country, and from this point of view, Prince Solomon is undoubtedly more suitable. As for Prince Hussein, it is completely possible for him to be a general in the army, and from the perspective of the order of heirs, the thirty-seventh prince also has a higher priority of succession! ”

I have to say that this is still very reasonable, and even General Assam, who originally had a clear position, was a little shaken after listening to these remarks.

Indeed, while military talent is important, as the heir of His Majesty, it seems that his ability to govern the country is even more limited.

Of course, he agrees with this view, but Prince Solomon ......

Sure enough, before he could finish thinking about it, General Kafka, who was sitting opposite, had already spoken first.

"Joke! Who was Prince Solomon, and how many of the generals present did not know? You say that he is a good hand at eating, drinking, and merrymaking, but the ability to govern the country, which eye do you see that Prince Solomon has this talent?! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, they were immediately approved by many generals.

Among the princes, the thirty-seventh prince Solomon Neil is one of the more famous, so even some generals who don't care much about the prince and princess have more or less heard of his deeds.

It's just that it's not a good thing.

However, it still made the officers of the two different factions below quarrel directly, and in the end, General Assam couldn't stand it anymore, so he slammed the table and shouted: "Okay, stop arguing!" ”

As one of the most senior veterans in the army, this prestige is still there.

After calming down the two groups of people who were about to fight, I heard him ask in a deep voice again, "Is there any other candidate to recommend?" ”

Faced with this question, there was silence in the tent.

After waiting for a few moments for no answer, General Assam spoke again.

"In that case, the heir will be chosen between the thirty-seventh prince Solomon Neil and the sixty-ninth prince Dodoro Neil."

"As for the way of selection, the biggest problem for our army now is the shortage of food and materials, and at the same time, we also need reinforcements to help us regain the lost territory, whoever can solve these two problems is the heir of His Majesty!"

To be fair, the veterans called Solomon Neal and Dodoro Neil to their tents at the same time and informed them of the incident.

Compared to Todoro Neil, who looked to be in his early twenties and had a strong physique, Solomon Neil, who was the thirty-seventh prince, was a greasy middle-aged man, and he looked like he was about to be fifty years old.

That pot-bellied appearance can be said to have made these veterans crazy to deduct impression points at the first glance, and even the previous general who strongly supported the succession of the thirty-seventh prince no longer expressed any opinions at this moment.

To tell the truth, after confirming the news that his powerful father had really died, Solomon Neil was incredulous, but he also began to wait for this moment to come.

They fled with their father all the way here, and the gray-haired elder brother above him had already died halfway through.

Now in this camp, his thirty-seventh prince, Solomon Neil, is the prince with the highest right of succession!

All of this should have been a matter of course.

But in the previous battle, out of nowhere, a sixty-ninth prince Dodoro Nir came out, and he also made a big splash, and directly won the support of their countless Persian soldiers.

He didn't know the guy, but he didn't have much suspicion, because as he said before, according to the earlier statistics, there were more than a hundred children under their father's knees who were still alive.

At the same time, among the more than 100 children, the oldest is nearly 80 years old, and the youngest is less than a year old, and this is still the part that has been identified.

As for the illegitimate children and illegitimate daughters who have not confirmed their identities, if you count the number of people, I am afraid that the number will only double or triple again, and even their father and the emperor themselves will not be able to recognize them all, let alone them.

After learning of the death of his father, Solomon Neal immediately sought out a veteran general in the army who did not have much ill will towards him, hoping to gain the support of the veteran and the entire faction behind him to establish himself as the new Persian emperor.

In exchange, he promised to marry the veteran general's daughter as empress and crown him Minister of Military Affairs after he succeeded to the throne.

Those veterans, their loyalty to the Persian family is indeed true, but now that the Persian players are dead, they naturally have to think more about it after that.

In addition, Solomon Neil is indeed of royal blood, and he is supported to become the new Persian emperor, so that he can become the minister of military affairs, and his daughter can also become the queen.

This proposal is still very tempting to him, so this is the previous scene.

At this time, in the face of the judgment of these veterans, Solomon Neal directly preemptively said after rolling his eyes: "Well, without further ado, I will take someone to meet the emperor of China now!" ”

After saying that, Solomon Neil didn't wait for everyone's reaction at all, and turned around and left the tent.

Seeing this scene, General Kafka was anxious, and repeatedly glanced at Dodoro Neal who was standing there, but Dodoro Neal maintained a calm appearance from beginning to end.

After the meeting was dismissed, General Kafka hurriedly found the sixty-ninth prince who was supported by himself.

"Your Highness, you are confused! On the Huaxia Emperor's side, His Majesty had already gone to talk to the other party before, maybe the matter had already been negotiated, and the thirty-seventh prince might be able to easily get food supplies and reinforcements, which was equivalent to picking up a bargain! ”

Compared with General Kafka, who looked anxious, Dodoro Neil, who was the person concerned, was calm from beginning to end, and even had the strength to persuade General Kafka to rest assured.

However, how did they know that although the veterans in this camp are not good at playing with power, they are all people who understand.

Prince Solomon's actions just now, in their opinion, were completely clever, and they couldn't get on the stage, but the Prince of Dodora next to him was so calm from beginning to end, quite like a general.

Invisibly, it was self-defeating that made a group of veterans' evaluation of Dodoro Neil rise to a new level.

Originally, General Kafka was supposed to be an understanding person, but unfortunately he was a fan of the authorities.

At the same time, even the veteran who originally supported Solomon's prince was a little shaken.

After all, he is still a loyal minister in nature, and while completing the great cause of restoring the country and avenging His Majesty, the conditions of Prince Solomon are naturally tempting.

But now that I think about it, did Prince Solomon really have the ability to complete the great cause of the restoration of Persia?

In this way, a few days later, the interview application handed over by the Persian side again was actually completely expected by Xia Qi.

Of course, this time he will not go out for an interview again, but wait for the other party's request to see.

I didn't go out to talk so kindly, so I naturally waited comfortably for the other side to see.

At this moment, Great Xia can be said to be strong and strong, although the Yellowstone Fortress is only a corner of Great Xia, but from a small peek at the big, just from the scale of this Yellowstone Fortress, Solomon Neil can already clearly feel the strength of Huaxia.

Even with the momentum on his body, he is getting weaker and weaker.

Although the escort behind him had done their best to support him, it made him look a little funny when compared to the well-armed and energetic soldiers of Yellowstone.

In this case, the opposing soldiers asked him to leave the large number of guards outside, but Solomon Neil did not dare to say a word, and finally only took four guards and cautiously followed.

Walking into the command room of the Yellowstone Fortress, sitting on the main seat was a young man in a black military uniform.

For the young man in front of him, who seemed to be less than half his age, Solomon Neil did not dare to be careless, because his father was also like this, always maintaining the posture of his youth.
