"Roddy, let me ask you a question. In the room, the two enjoyed affectionately for a long time, and Nicole suddenly whispered.

Luo Di gently stroked Nicole's show, put his nose on her head and sniffed gently, and whispered: "What?" He was really relaxed at the moment, this is the study of the Duke's Palace, and no one will break in without an order, so Luo Di hugged his lover who he had missed for many days with peace of mind, and said casually: "What do you want to ask?"

Nicole North Roddy's head was scattered, her face was itchy, and she whispered: "You are getting bolder and bolder now......" Seeing the flame burning in Roddy's eyes, Nicole blushed and whispered: "I really have something to ask you." ”

Roddy sighed, hugged Nicole in his arms, and smiled bitterly, "Okay, you can say it." ”

Nicole seemed to have some melancholy in her eyes, and said, "Actually, I haven't figured it out from the beginning to the present...... It's just that things were born too suddenly, forcing us to get to where we are today...... Roddy, let me ask you, do you think we started supporting the Queen, right or wrong?"

"What's wrong?" said Roddy.

Nicole sighed: "I always think about what Andy said today...... Maybe we're doing something wrong. Just to save the queen alone, just to support her for the sake of affection, can we drag the whole work into a whirlpool? Can we set off a palace coup? Do we have the right to do this?"

Roddy raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, but did not speak.

Nicole sighed and continued: "If it weren't for Andy's sudden appearance, I'm afraid today's events would have really made a big fuss, and a fight would have been inevitable. I am afraid that there will be a repetition of the court tragedy when Abbasid the Great succeeded to the throne...... When I think about this, I am very scared...... Even though we won, how will the aftermath be dealt with? The queen's child was not born. Is it true that the fate of an empire is to be entrusted to a ...... A baby? huh? you...... What are you laughing at?"

Nicole's face was full of melancholy, and suddenly she saw Roddy smiling faintly, and there seemed to be some deep meaning hidden in the smile. Nicole couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, bit her lip, and said, "What the hell are you laughing at?"

Roddy shook his head and said, "You're not right. ”

"What?"

Roddy said in a categorical tone: "You are not right. He sighed and slowly let go of the arms that were holding Nicole. He said in a deep voice: "If you have to choose an emperor among Prince Balang and a baby. Well, I definitely wouldn't choose Prince Barang. ”

He glanced at Nicole and said lightly, "Nicole." Maybe I'm a person who doesn't think too much. I don't think about complicated plans and future events. But for now, all I know is that I won't choose Prince Barang. The reason is simple: I don't think he's a good guy. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Maybe I'm too selfish, but emotionally, Balang colludes with the blood clan. And the Bloodclan killed Jojo. Even if such a thing kills all the possibilities for me to support Barang! I'm a person who loves and hates it, and I don't care if it's right or wrong to think like this! I just know. A person who colluded with the Blood Clan to kill innocent people indiscriminately, I will not support him! Besides, the Blood Clan killed Qiao Qiao, and killed so many of my soldiers on my way back to the imperial capital. In every way, Barang's side is my enemy!

Nicole smiled, "What you said is simple, but it makes sense. ”

Roddy shook his head and said, "No, Nicole. It's not that simple!" He showed a strange look in his eyes, and slowly said in a low tone: "When the general is angry, the eternity is withered, and the king is angry, the blood flows and floats, and tens of millions of heads fall to the ground......!"

He suddenly smiled slightly, "Nicole, do you know what these words mean?"

Nicole frowned: "I don't know, what you said is strange, and the words are even more strange, what do you mean?"

Luo Di smiled faintly: "This sentence is what I read from a book called "Sunflower Treasure Book"...... It was a note left by Danton. The meaning is very simple, when a person stands at the pinnacle of power, then in his eyes, human life in the world will be as small and unimportant as mustard...... Such people, whether they are happy or angry, involve the livelihood and fate of tens of millions of people...... Nice, don't you think it's scary?"

He smiled a little bitterly: "After I became this duke, I took the army to the northwest, and every order I gave had to be repeated for a long time, because I knew that if one of my orders was wrong, it might kill many, many people! You know, I'm still just a duke...... But what about being an emperor? An emperor, if he is good, he is counted, if he is a bastard, then there are too many people below him who are offended! Abbasid XI was not a good thing, but he had not done anything too outrageous. Although he was a little confused, the empire only declined, and did not really die. But if it were Balang as emperor, I wouldn't dare to think about it...... He dared to collude with the blood clan, regarded human life as lighter than mustard, and used any conspiracy and trickery. Those people of the First Blood Clan are not a good thing, and I am afraid that this emperor will not bring such a simple thing as weakness to the empire, and most of them will collapse soon!"

Nicole's mouth opened wide and couldn't help but say, "You...... How many of you look?"

Luo Di shook his head: "I don't like to think so much, it's just that things are forced in front of me, and I can't do it if I don't want to." I was forced by you to read so many books and learn so many things, and many times I naturally thought. But the more I thought about it, the more upset I became. ”

Nicole lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said, "Then, since you think Barang can't do it, why didn't you agree to Seth to cooperate with him in the first place?"

Roddy said: "I hate Barang, but it's another thing to want me to cooperate with Seth! Although it seems that I still seem to have taken the same path with Seth in the end, if there is no Andy appearing, I'm afraid things will really go the way Seth thinks...... But if I had said yes to Seth at the time, I would never have been!"

Laughing, he seemed to smile a little bitterly: "I know." A lot of times I do things that are a little silly, or a little stupid. Perhaps, sometimes, if I compromise a little, things will go much better, but I just can't convince myself to compromise! Seth's words were tempting, but I knew that once I agreed to him. Then I'm still a pawn controlled by North! I'm still a shadow of him! Nicole...... You know what? I hate this face right now. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have put on this mask again!"

Nicole's eyes seemed a little moist, and she whispered, "I know." ”

Roddy gently took Nicole's hand: "I'll tell you." I have always had a year in my heart, and if Andy hadn't shown up that day, I would have tried my best to kill Prince Barang! But after killing him, I may not support the Queen's child to succeed to the throne!"

"What?" Nicole was really surprised, and there was a look of surprise in her eyes, "Are you serious? Then why did you still do what I said? After really killing Prince Balang." What were you going to do?"

Roddy shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet." But I think that when the time comes, I will probably find someone to come out and be emperor! A baby to be emperor is even more terrible than Balang to be emperor! It's just a pity......" she whispered, "It's a pity that the empress is a coward." If she is stronger, it is better to simply let her be the emperor. Or just find a suitable person among the people in the Thorn Flower family - anyway, I heard that there are many distant relatives in the family, and I can always find someone. ”

Nicole couldn't help but laugh: "The queen is the emperor? Is there a woman who is the emperor? Just find someone to be the emperor? It's even crazier. ”

Luo Di showed a disapproving expression on his face: "Why not? The rules in this world are all set by people, why can't there be one more? Is everything immutable? I'll just let it change!"

Nicole was a little surprised, and there was a strange look in her eyes: "You have really changed...... But you haven't thought about it...... If you find someone to be the emperor, you might as well ...... You might as well do it yourself!"

After saying the last sentence, not only Roddy, but even Nicole herself was startled, how could she suddenly say such a thing? Even if this thought would pop up in her head, she shouldn't have said it.

But when this sentence came out, Nicole's heart suddenly trembled, in fact, this year may not be considered "crazy"

Duke Tulip holds the power of the army, and after eradicating Prince Balang, he is even more powerful, and at the same time has the admiration and respect of the subjects of the Bright Empire, if he really becomes the emperor at that time, he will not know what is impossible!

Roddy glanced at Nicole, smiled, and shook his head, "I don't want to!

In the past few days, the most energetic person in the imperial capital is probably the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Army. Groups of wolf-tooth troops patrolled the streets, and all the people of the Central Cavalry Regiment returned to the barracks, and not a single one was allowed to go out. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor has decreed that Duke Tulip has taken over the "Thor's Whip"!

The news of Duke Tulip's return has spread throughout the imperial capital. The incident in the palace has already spread so much that it can't be covered up if you want to. Everyone knows that Prince Barang premeditated to usurp the throne, but was brought down by Duke Tulip with the Wolf Tooth Army. These wolf tooth troops were the relatives of Duke Tulip, and even the Central Cavalry Regiment was defeated by them......

Some aristocratic ministers also asked the emperor for instructions on whether to send people to inspect the streets, forbid others to talk about the events of that day, suppress this public opinion, and arrest all those who dared to speak about the palace coup d'état that day!

As a result, the skeleton's eyes widened, and without saying a word, he kicked the nobleman down.

Next, what the emperor did was even more incomprehensible to everyone - the emperor actually went out in person, found a group of romantic poetry literati in the imperial aristocratic circle, and got a new gadget out!

It's called: "Newspaper"!

You don't know what a newspaper is. Never heard of it. I feel that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't know if his brain is bad after he got sick, and what he does is so incomprehensible.

The emperor sent hundreds of soldiers of the Guards, dressed in civilian clothes, to the streets, and secretly got out all the big and small things that were born in the imperial capital, and then asked those merry poets and literati to write them all out and print them on a piece of paper...... A total of tens of thousands of copies were obtained, and then all the noble ministers of the imperial capital went down to their homes, and the rest sent people to stand at the gate of the imperial capital and the inns, shops, squares and other places, and they ...... when they see people

This strange thing immediately turned up the interest of all the people in the entire imperial capital.

What baron so-and-so was knocked on the door by his wife because of a private meeting with his lover, what is the food in the restaurant on so-and-so street is delicious, or what is the old man of someone's family who died, and his children broke their heads in order to share the inheritance......

People's curiosity is always very heavy, usually I can't help but inquire about where there are new and interesting things, and now there is such a thing, it is very popular.

Of course, this newspaper is not so simple...... While recording those new things. In the most conspicuous place of the newspaper, some of the circumstances of the palace incident that day were roughly stated in a cryptic tone...... In the words, every sentence seems to be the duty of Prince Balang, who is plotting against him, and has ill intentions. Although it is not specified, that level of hint is sufficient.

When the "newspaper" was just dispersed on the first day, everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and some people who didn't know what it was, some just threw it away, and some took it to the toilet and wiped it......

But on the second day. The whole empire was in a stir, and those who had already seen it spread the word that there was such an interesting thing in the empire, and those who had not. They are looking everywhere. For a time, in the garbage heap, in the hotel, in the toilet, there was an endless stream of people looking for "newspapers", and finally a situation was formed in which a newspaper circulated hundreds or even thousands of people.

Although the true purpose of the newspaper is still not understood, some of the effects are gradually being felt.

After the second newspaper came out, the matter of Prince Barang was hastily brought up, and gradually another person surfaced...... Marquis Caroline, Minister of War!

The sharp words and cynicism hinted that the Minister of War had bad intentions, not only did he enrich his own pockets while controlling military affairs, embezzled military expenses and lost air salaries, but also seemed to play a role in the palace incident, etc., etc.......

These remarks completely dominated all kinds of rumors and speculations about which palace incident in the imperial capital, and all kinds of strange gossip in the past gradually disappeared, and almost all the public opinion guidance followed the statements in the "newspapers......

Andy, who was hiding behind, smiled treacherously: "How? No need for any gag order, this method is much better than any official orders and notices issued by the royal family......

Of course, newspapers can't be free forever, and after three newspapers were produced in a row, the fourth newspaper was not delivered free of charge on the streets. It was announced that one would be published every three days in the future, and those who wanted to see it would have to spend two copper plates......

So, countless people sighed: "Alas...... It's going to be charged again...... There is no such thing as a free lunch......"

But just like that, the sales of the newspaper were unprecedentedly hot! Everyone wanted to know: What happened to the demerit who broke his head in order to rob the inheritance? What happened to the baron who was caught and raped in bed by his wife? The last newspaper said that in the palace incident, Prince Barang and Duke Tulip duel, and the prince used a trick to "sweep away a thousand armies," and the duke exploded with "golden vindictiveness." What happened next? And the Marquis Caroline, it is said that the old guy also has a penchant for old cows to eat tender grass, I don't know if it is true or not?

It can be said that there is no commodity in the imperial capital that is as popular as "newspaper".

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor ordered that those poets and literati should simply make newspapers, and everyone could get a large amount of money from the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor directly sent more than 100 guards for them to deploy......

His Majesty the Emperor also personally inscribed the newspaper with the inscription "Andy Express"!

And human imagination and creativity are endless!

After the unprecedented popularity of newspapers, watching those poets and literati who were originally down-and-out in the aristocratic circle all made a lot of money, and walked with their chests held high, some nimble businessmen finally couldn't sit still.

Finally, the first person pretended to be brave and learned to get a newspaper out......

I can't help but say that this person is smart, Andy Express is published every three days, and the newspaper he gets is published every day!

The sales were so hot that it almost squeezed his shop!

So, people said: "Alas, this year is the king!"

After this new newspaper came out, seeing that His Majesty did not seem to object to someone singing against him, everyone was boiling, and various newspapers were introduced.

Some whimsical people wrote some stories in the imperial capital in newspaper dealers. What is the scandal story of the young master of a certain big family and a certain dusty woman, a young man from a common family who fell in love with the young lady of a big family...... This kind of affair that involves the love of men and women is very popular!

Of course, there are also those who are suffocated. Some poets were moved and put their painstaking work in the newspapers, and as a result, they became sales killers...... The poems appeared in the market the next day, and were used to roll meat......

Some poets are unwilling, and go to the street to ask people why they don't like it.

He replied, "No, it's boring!"
