Apprentice??

That old guy still has an apprentice?

Bang, old guy, there is such a powerful apprentice?

That old guy actually has such a powerful, such a bullish fork, such a stylish apprentice?! (Old guy follows the painting with a smile on Jiuquan......) For a while, Char just felt that his brain was a little insufficient. There was a lot of confusion in my heart, and even the warning in Dora's mind didn't seem to be more shocking than the news about the old guy's apprentice.

Looking at Hasting, in front of him, at this famous and powerful man who shocked the world, at this Odin Valkyrie who could make thousands of troops lose fear with just one name......

He is actually an apprentice trained by an old fellow?! This statement is as absurd as the fat man Ruhl suddenly jumped in front of Char and claimed to be the illegitimate son of the Odin God Emperor!" Don't believe it? Or don't you dare to believe it?"

Hasting's mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes were still as sharp as a knife: "He's not a great person, what's the benefit of me pretending to be his apprentice." ”

After a pause, he pointed to the open space in front of him: "If you don't want to fight for the time being, you might as well sit down first, and we can say a few words." When that's all over, if you still want to fight, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of that old ghost. ”

Char hesitated again and again, and finally sat down slowly, but the fire fork was still in his hand, and he didn't dare to relax himself, his eyes were blazing, and he stared at Hasting: "I...... Between you and me, there is something to say. ”

Hastings snorted, but looked at the fire fork in Char's hand, and after a little more glance, he seemed to nod: "Well, this thing, the current appearance can be regarded as a little bit back to its original appearance." Last ...... When we fought in the past, this thing hadn't evolved yet. No wonder I didn't recognize it at first. But...... The pendant around your neck, I recognized it at a glance last time. ”

His tone gradually revealed a slight trace of vicissitudes, and he smiled lightly: "I remember back then, I tried my best to perform, I don't know how many times I begged him, I only expected him to pass these two things to me." But in the end, it fell into your hands. Hey, he looks like he's pretty optimistic about you. ”

Char's heart moved, thinking that this pendant was left to me by the old guy, but this fire fork. The old guy may not have really passed it on to himself. Instead, he has been casually thrown in the hearth, and when he went down the mountain, he brought it out at will.

He thought for a while and shook his head vigorously: "I didn't think about it, the old guy actually has an apprentice, and I didn't expect it to be you." ”

Hastings seemed to gradually lose his mind, and was stunned before shaking his head: "In this world, there are too many things that you can't think of. If it had been back then, I am afraid that even I would not have imagined the situation today. ”

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the three-edged war spear beside him, sighed slightly, gently stroked the barrel of the gun with his broad palm, lowered his head, and did not look at Fuya's face, but said softly: "Do you want to hear a story?"

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, Char nodded.

He immediately determined in his heart that the "story" that Hei Jin Ting was talking about, after all, had a major relationship with the old guy, "It was about thirty cars ago, right?" Hasting's first sentence made Char stunned: "At that time, I was still a Byzantine... Well, to be precise, I'm still a Byzantine aristocrat. My father had the title of a baron. My mother, on the other hand, was an ordinary woman, she was born into a small handicraft family, and my maternal grandfather had a small textile workshop. My father was a nobleman, but his family had long since declined, and by his generation he had nothing to boast about other than the title of a baron.

My maternal grandfather, on the other hand, was the owner of a small handicraft workshop that made his fortune from the bottom, and in the Byzantine Empire, even if a person at the bottom had accumulated a fortune, he had to find a way to improve his social status if he wanted to really enter the higher classes. The title of a nobleman, for a small millionaire, is very appealing. So, my father, married my mother. ”

Although the words that Hastings began to say were not important, Char listened carefully and did not look impatient at all. Because he is in Hei Jin Ting's eyes... In those cold and tough, rock-like eyes, there was a trace of fluctuation, a trace of sadness......

"More than thirty years ago, when I was four years old. My grandfather died in order to expand the family business. My father made a decision to move the family business to the imperial capital of Osgilia. He believes that in the bustling imperial capital, he can encounter better business opportunities, which can give him the opportunity to grow his business bigger. In fact, his decision was not wrong. After coming to the imperial capital, the family's industry did develop somewhat, but unfortunately, although my father had a noble title, he had no background and no foundation. It's just a baron's title, and it's also from a small place in the south of the empire, such an identity. In the imperial capital, which is full of wealthy families, no one will really look at him at all.

The aristocratic circle of the imperial capital has always been xenophobic, and in their eyes, even if they are also nobles, but those who are from other places, especially those in remote areas, will always be rednecks for them. Nobles who moved into the imperial capital from other places, even those large families with strong local forces. If you want to dissolve into the aristocratic kingdom of the imperial capital, you have to pay several generations of hard work. Not to mention. My father was just a small rich man at the time. And his little assets are not worth mentioning in the imperial capital full of wealthy families.

There is business in the imperial capital, although there are many business opportunities. But the water is also very deep. In less than a year, the development of my father's business was hindered. And his title of nobility did not help him at all. Finally, by chance, my father joined the Senate.

It's a very ironic thing. A person with aristocratic status actually joined the forces of the Senate, whose main purpose was to advocate civil rights, and thus stood on the opposite side of the aristocracy.

More than thirty cars ago, at that time, the Senate. It wasn't as declining as it is now.

At that time, Kantos the Great had not been in power for long after he came of age. It has not even had the support of the entire noble group, and at the same time Tatsu was under the control of the already fledgling warlord forces.

In order to cope with these words, Cantos Dabu came up with a solution... Foster the factions of the Senate.

It's just a political manoeuvre.

Perhaps for the Emperor Kantos at that time, a little support for the Senate could balance the forces of other aspects a little. And. The Senate, which has no foundation, no military power in its hands, and no financial resources, is also easier to control, and it is not too difficult to suppress it again if it is slightly dissatisfied.

However, the support of the emperor at that time made the Senate excited. Even some hot-headed guys, thinking that they had the support of the emperor, began to openly compete for power with other noble groups and warlord henchmen. It can be said that many people were even dizzy at the time, and the blind optimism and transitional expansion laid the root of the disaster for what happened later.

But Emperor Kantos soon swept away the other members of the royal family who threatened the throne in the political struggle, and the threat of his uncle and brother had been eliminated by him, and the entire aristocratic group of the empire was in his hands. After being completely loyal to the emperor...... Senate. For the emperor, it has lost the value of use.

What's more, the emperor favored Kavehill. And the guy in Cavishir is a standard dictatorship. Such a proposition naturally conflicts with the purpose of the Senate.

In preparation for this, the Senate carried out a fierce struggle, and even planned a political turmoil. ”

Hastings said this and looked at Char: "You shouldn't have grown up in Byzantium.

But even if you are, you probably don't know about it. Because of this incident, it was later strictly forbidden to mention it again by a prohibition, and no literature, any books, or documents were allowed to mention this past incident. ”

After a pause, he said slowly: "That incident is called the declaration of resumption of the meeting'... And, of course, it has a name, it's called the June Massacre!"

There is no doubt that when he heard the name "tragic case", Char immediately determined in his heart: that time, it seemed that the result was very bad. And the result is nothing more than ......

Bleed! Very, very much blood.

Although the Senate's approach at that time was a bit stupid in many places, there was at least one thing, which hit the emperor's greatest weakness! During the period of the emperor's support, the Senate took advantage of the convenience given by the emperor to vigorously promote the spirit of civil rights, and one of the most lethal methods was to bury such spiritual seeds in the Emperor's Academy! Young man...... The blood of the Fengqing people is always the easiest to ignite, and the emotions are also the easiest to be inflamed. Under the influence of the spirit of the Senate on civil rights, such a radical purpose, in the Imperial Academy, there are actually some young officer cadets who are also infected and believe in the spirit of the Senate.

And this is precisely what the emperor fears the most.

Kangtos University vigorously built the Imperial Academy, which is regarded as the cradle of the eagle generals, and the people of the eagle system are the greatest capital of the future struggle between the Emperor and the warlords. He needs to train the last batch of generals who are absolutely loyal and obedient to the imperial power and the royal family, in such a situation, how can he allow the Senate to get involved?

And after receiving the support of the emperor, a group of young officers in the academy, the leaders of the Senate at that time became hot-headed and proposed a more radical move...... Resumption of the Senate Parliamentary System!! The Senate system of deliberation is an ancient system that existed in the early days of the empire, when the Senate restricted the imperial power, and major national affairs had to be deliberated by the Senate, and if the Senate did not pass, some decisions of the emperor could be dismissed. Such an approach. It is the greatest constraint on imperial power.

At that time, those guys in the Senate were hot-headed and wanted to restore the parliamentary system in the early days of the founding of the country.

So, they planned a large-scale operation.

A small number of radical young officers and cadets in the Imperial Academy acted as vanguards, plus some heavyweight councilors from some estates in the Senate, gathered their own servants and workers and organized them into a temporary armed force. Then he contacted some imperial officials who leaned towards the Senate. In the end, even a certain degree of agreement was reached with the warlords' henchmen.

On the second day of June, the day of the inauguration of the Senate in the early days of the founding of the country, the Senate convened a general meeting of all its members and adopted several resolutions. A proclamation was issued announcing the restoration of the ancient system of the Senate, and at the same time declaring that imperial power must be constrained by the Senate, and even issued a similar proclamation. He also sent the declaration to the palace and asked the emperor to sign and approve it.

At the same time, the Senate organized its own armed forces, gathered in front of the palace, trying in this way to force the emperor to compromise.

It's ridiculous, these guys are ridiculous! It's so stupid that there's nothing else to ask for! Political ...... What is politics? You have power in your hands, it is the truth! These guys want to make earth-shaking changes with only their fantasies......

And the so-called leaders of the Senate who organized this operation were all guys with utopian minds. They don't even understand the basic principles of political struggle...... This operation, if it is a secret, with a small number of elites suddenly sneaking into the palace, with the elite officer cadets in the Emperor's ** Academy as the backbone, supplemented by a certain number of armed forces, there may be a three-point chance to force the palace to become Ding Bo But those stupid goods, before the conference was held, the news leaked out, and even they didn't know that many imperial officials who were originally inclined to the Senate on the surface were deliberately close to the Senate under the emperor's order! Two days before the operation began, the royal family was fully prepared to respond.

And the Senate even wished to have the support of the warlords' henchmen. But how could those guys of the warlord party really regard this group of naïve guys as real allies?

As a result, the armed forces of the Senate gathered at the gate of the palace were ambushed and encircled by the Imperial Forest Army and the private soldiers of the aristocratic groups. In the vast field in front of the palace, blood flowed like a river. A total of 2,400 people were killed, including nearly 200 outstanding young officers who were the cadets of the Imperial Affairs, and these people were later charged with treason.

Immediately, with the acquiescence of the red zone of the warlord party. The city guards of the imperial capital began to blockade the city. On the same day, the Senate was besieged by the city guards, and 400 members of the Senate were besieged in the Senate by thousands of heavily armed city guards.

The Imperial Inspectorate had already laid out a secret line in the Senate, and copied a few lists in the Senate! It included a total of sixty-three members of the Senate who had signed the declaration of the resumption of the meeting, as well as a list of the members of the Senate.

According to that list, the whole city was searched, the city gates were closed, and the city guards and the night royal forest were almost door-to-door search, along with the people on the list, as well as their families, wives and children, all arrested. When Sting said this, his tone seemed to be very calm, but in this calm tone, there was a faint hint of coldness.

All of them were later taken to an acropolis south of Osgilia...... Later, everyone was ordered by Emperor Kantos to starve to death!"

After a pause, Hasting's next words were: "Among the people who were arrested, including my parents. ”
