Chapter 1137: The Battle of the Palace

When they learned that the Grand Duke was going to take out the blood-colored flag, everyone present secretly poked and poked and decided to withdraw without any hesitation.

If it is a political wrestling, it is a means, and it depends on connections, and everyone does not hesitate to stand on the side of the Lisa Gong. Kaveh's ability to play tricks is too weak, and it is not enough for everyone to spit on each person, and drown him.

But if you flip the table...... If you want to compare the strength of the wrist, no one will be optimistic about Lisagong. Kavigong's past reputation was piled up with a sea of corpses and bones. Let's just say that he himself, a transcendent being, and there is not a single one who opposes him and forces him to act recklessly, without trembling. You can't win a heads-up or a group fight, so why fight him?

And the bones of more than a thousand people in front of him and the burned camp all prove that the old duke is serious. He didn't kill thieves in the middle of nowhere, or in the barren mountains, but when they were dead, everyone would only celebrate with their hands in their hands. The people who died here were the close guards of a grand duke, and they were not only the most elite force in the hands of a great nobleman, but also the backbone of a family.

Even if only two hundred and fifty people were officially members of the Duke's Guard, the rest of the men were selected according to the same criteria, and most of them were young people from the vassal family of the Grand Duke of Lisa, or even heirs; They are the future of the entire Grand Duke's family. And the result of burying a thousand people here is that there will be a big gap in the strength of the next generation of the Risa family.

Before this generation has decided the winner, the next generation will lose first. No...... Maybe there won't be a fight for the next generation. The victory or defeat of the Kaveh family against the Upper Risa family has already been decided in the hearts of the group of nobles who fled in the wilderness.

The wooden village did not last long. Set fire in the morning, and before evening, only ashes remain in the original wooden village. The corpses within, as the Grand Duke had commanded, were gathered together, and several buckets of gasoline for cars were poured and burned.

The guards of the Duke of Kawi did not even plunder the dead bodies or the belongings in the wooden village, but only selected a few symbolic items as proof that they had annihilated half of the Duke of Lisa's guard. Of course, there was no big cheering or celebration of victory. Just like in the past, when they crusaded against monsters and exterminated thieves, success was an inevitable result, and failure was unforgivable.

And the nobles who were lucky enough to escape were trying their best to rush to the capital of the empire. Not only did they have to report what had happened here to His Majesty the Emperor, but they also had to stay away from the old duke who killed the red eye.

Although Blood Banner Revenge is said to have a clear target, it is not allowed to accidentally injure unrelated people. But considering that both sides of the opposing sides are grand dukes, they can really only consider themselves unlucky if they are accidentally injured, and they have no way or courage to find either party to compensate or apologize. So staying away from this place is the best option.

However, compared to the few nobles who drove back on two legs, the news of the annihilation of the Lisa's private army spread back to the capital and the court much faster. What is even more shocking is the news that Grand Duke Kaveh is preparing to raise the Scarlet Flag, and the target is another Grand Duke of the Empire, Duke Risa.

This level of Blood Banner revenge, if other minor nobles were forced to get involved, could already be regarded as an imperial civil war. Therefore, unlike the shock of other ministers and nobles, the emperor sitting on the supreme throne felt a headache even more.

The old guy he knew, although he had outstanding achievements in martial arts, was definitely not this kind of big bastard who didn't know the general situation and was reckless and impulsive. So what was it that made him make such a choice? This question that most people will have is suddenly focused on the other person involved in this incident, that is, the current Prime Minister of the Empire, Grand Duke Rissa.

"Your Majesty, this is just a vile slander by that bad old man who has no clear head in Kaveh. Needless to say, he wanted to use this action to justify his disobedience to His Majesty's edict and his shameless revenge on me. I had no idea what I was doing, and he was qualified to raise the blood flag against him. At the court meeting of the imperial court, the imperial prime minister said eloquently.

Rubbing his temples, the old emperor felt bitter in his heart and was helpless. That unconscious bad old man held high the blood flag, but he didn't say any reason, how did he want people to express his position? In fact, such situations were not uncommon in the history of the Gwana Empire. Situations like this, where the blood flag is held high without the reason being explained, usually involve scandals involving female relatives, and of course it is inconvenient to publicize them.

But it does not mean that any nobleman can take advantage of such convenience to suppress or annex other nobles. So whether it is really revenge for blood relatives is simply an excuse, as the upper nobles on both sides of the struggle have the obligation to lead or prevent the war between the two nobles.

In general, no one will use the blood flag as an excuse. Those who dare to do so must be prepared to be treated in the same way. After all, one of the legal principles applicable to the imperial aristocracy was that 'those who make false accusations shall be punished for false accusations'. Avoid someone arbitrarily fabricating charges and framing others without bearing any responsibility. Although in practice, there are many additional considerations.

However, this time, the two grand dukes, who can even be said to be the most powerful nobles in their respective fields in the field of literature and martial arts, are-for-tat. Thinking of the possible consequences, the old emperor wanted to strangle these two bastards with his own hands.

But the Duke of Risa solemnly denied it, and the Duke of Kaveh did not appear at the court to provide reasonable evidence of his actions. Therefore, the voice in the court can be said to be one-sided in favor of the imperial prime minister who has countless henchmen. And the agent of the Duke of Kaveh, his sister-in-law, the Marquis of Farshid, naturally became the target of everyone's attacks.

This middle-aged elegant nobleman, who is not at all like his father and has entered the age of not being confused, can only bow his head at this time and silently bear the malice from everyone. There is no excuse in the slightest.

From the side, it can be seen that the first heir to the Grand Duke's family was also unaware of his father's actions in advance. Otherwise, in his capacity, of course, he would have to defend him at court in place of his father, and justify the Kaveh family in raising the blood flag against the Rissa family.

"Your Majesty!" After noticing that he had won the support of the majority of the nobles in the court, the Duke of Risa was ready to launch oppression against the last great nobleman who had not yet expressed his position, the emperor. He said: "It is a great disrespect for Grand Duke Kavi to ignore His Majesty's edict and brutally kill the envoy who went to announce the edict. It was suggested that he be reduced to a criminal body and taken to the palace for trial. If you tolerate his misdeeds and repeatedly provoke the power of the royal family, then how will you govern this country and manage so many vassals and subjects under your command, Your Majesty? ”

Clear-eyed people also know that Lisagong's words are also nonsense. When did the imperial envoy who pronounced the edict need to bring a thousand troops with him? This is simply a preparation to arrest people without saying a word.

As long as Duke Kaveh dares to openly disobey orders for his own interests, the troops of Duke Risa will definitely carry the banner of the empire and arrest the old duke. As long as a person is caught in prison, how to concoct it is not a word of the person in charge. All the calculations are to oppress this old man who has been loyal all his life and does not dare to commit treason in the name of the empire.
