Chapter 1138: Farshidehou
Angie Risa's eager attitude made a trace of gloom flash in the old emperor's heart. In the past, my two most powerful arms, although they did not work together harmoniously, also gave themselves the greatest help in their respective areas of expertise.
At that time, the two sides would have a dispute because of disagreement and line. Where is there such an attitude as today, which wants to kill the other person and then hurry up?
When did this shift take place? Is there anything you don't know about that has taken things to extremes?
All the doubts were replaced by four words for the exit: "Let's discuss later." "The old emperor decided to face the dispute between the two heroes with an attitude of peace and mud for the time being before getting more information. In fact, this is also the attitude he most often expresses. It is better to let your subordinates argue and find a way to compromise than to be arbitrary, but no one is willing to carry it out after the matter is assigned.
Of course, it doesn't end after a court meeting. Even if the whole picture of the matter has not yet appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but planning for a rainy day is not a good habit of the ancestors of someone's hometown.
These labyrinthic natives, who are accustomed to intrigue above the court, also know that in the face of great changes, they must be prepared in all aspects. Therefore, all kinds of private connections and meetings formed an undercurrent, surging under the capital of the Gwana Empire.
Of course, what more people want to know is, why did the Kaveh Guild choose to raise the Blood Banner? Don't look at 'occupying the commanding heights of reason' as if it was a superfluous move, it was a fart for the nobles who set the rules of the game! In fact, when doing things, there is a righteous name, and it is easier to win over help, strengthen yourself and support your own forces. This is something that no nobleman can ignore.
But what the old emperor wanted, how could other scheming nobles not think of it. Considering the reasoning behind this matter, it may involve the inprivacy of the female relatives of the Grand Duke of Carvey's family, which can make everyone ...... More interested.
It's just that with such an attitude, you can't make a high-profile statement, and you can't even reveal that you have the intention of exploring the reasons behind it. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will offend Grand Duke Kaveh before he takes sides.
The reason why people don't plan to raise the blood flag publicly is not to prevent the family scandal from being publicized. As a result, a group of people are digging a dung pit to turn the smelly things in it upside down, so as not to offend Kavigong, so how can they offend Kavigong? Therefore, this kind of thing cannot come openly, but must act secretly, and it cannot leave its own footprints. Naturally, everyone has their own tricks.
However, in the capital of the Gwana Empire, there is still one person who thinks differently from the others. That is the eldest son of Grand Duke Kawi and the first in line to the throne, now holding the title of Marquis of Falshid, Nonan Kawi Farshid.
My father was kicked out of the center of power, not only as a result of political struggle, but also because of the fear of ordinary human beings for the transcendent. So as a son, his life in this huge imperial capital is completely in line with the four words - low-key life. will stay in the national capital, but I just want to maintain the existence of the family, so as not to be forgotten that there is such a family.
But this time it became a target, and everyone blamed him, and no matter how good his temper was, he might not be able to endure it. What's more, Farshidehou is definitely not a good-tempered person, he was the front-line commander of the 10th Experimental Brigade of the First Army of the Empire when he was young, and he was the kind of person who ran at the forefront while shouting and rushing, and his fists moved faster than his brain.
Now that he has somehow helped his father carry a cauldron, how could he not ask directly when he was a son. Ask if you are biological, how such a big thing happened, and you actually know it from others.
The solidified Charles's call special mirror table is actually like the earth's fixed video call hotline, which is not only expensive, but also expensive to use and maintain. But for a big nobleman, it is not unaffordable.
Especially for connecting relatives or communicating important matters, it is a very reliable way to communicate over a long distance using Charles's calling technique compared to face-to-face direct conversations. The reason is also very simple, because the image projected by Charles's calling technique on the other side is not a simple reality, but a reality from some magical perspective. To put it simply, it comes with the ability to crack illusions.
In fact, the Marquis of Balan, who lives in someone's house and is an apprentice in magic, has a set of corresponding mirror stands. It's just that the Marquis of Balaam never takes the initiative to contact, and the closed mirror platform can't receive the call of the other party. The old man who misses his granddaughter can only make a trip in person without delay to see if his granddaughter has gained weight or is frozen.
But between the Grand Duke and his eldest son, the Marquis of Falshid, who is also the first in line to the throne, this set of mirrors used to communicate with each other is not the kind of situation where they have not received signals for many years, or have been prompted outside the network. As the head of the family and the family agent stationed in the imperial capital, the contact between the two is more of a matter of official business than a reminiscence of family affection.
Naturally, when Falshidehou opened the mirror platform that solidified Charles's calling spell, there was a special magician on the side of the Duke of Kavey to urgently inform the old duke who was discussing with the deacons about arranging the territory. And the conversation through magic takes place in the study of the annex where the others have been expelled.
Even though it had only been an early morning battle, the old duke's face did not have a trace of fatigue, but was full of energy, and he looked rejuvenated. In contrast, the Marquis of Farshid, as his son, had a melancholy face and a deep brow. After seeing such a father, he was even more bored.
"Yo, my good son, there should be chickens and dogs jumping in the palace. What is the expression of that old man, has he wrinkled his whole face together, tell me quickly. ”
When the son is silent, staring, speechless.
The old duke didn't feel embarrassed at all, but he also took the initiative to change the topic and asked, "Say, have you discussed how to deal with me?" I don't believe they don't have any countermeasures, even if I pull out the blood banner to show off. ”
"In the name of Your Majesty, I order you to abdicate and I will succeed the head of the family. Then lift the oath of the Blood Banner and admit that the previous generation is an old fool. As for the price to be paid in private, in order to calm down the whole matter and soothe the hearts of the frightened nobles, that is another matter. ”
The peace talks between the nobles are not a matter of shaking hands on both sides and going back to their respective homes to wash and sleep. The stronger side will receive compensation for the armistice from the weaker side, and the mediator will also receive the cost of the arbitration. This kind of confrontation at the negotiating table truly embodies the truth that war is a continuation of politics. War is not something that can be stopped if someone says they will stop it, and whoever says that they will not fight it will really not be fought.
"That's right." The old duke said indifferently: "What about your opinion?" ”
"I'm waiting to hear your reasoning. If the reason that is inconvenient to disclose can't even convince me as a son, then it is not impossible to consider inheriting the position of head of the family early. Otherwise, according to the normal situation, I have a good chance that I will not inherit the Kaveh family name in this life, right? ”
