Chapter 235: Time is Pressing (I)
"I don't know if you here can really understand what kind of concept 300,000 barbarians are - that's almost three-quarters of the population of the entire Turin City! And once such a huge Hantu clan crosses the defense line of the Iron Cliff Mountain and the southeast corner, what will happen to Hantu City, and the current kingdom is ready to face 300,000 barbarians?"
"And His Highness Anson Marcherus, with only an army of less than 40,000 men, has held off such a formidable enemy, and saved the entire kingdom from such a terrible threat, is not such a merit worthy of a reward, and don't those knights and soldiers who have fallen in battle deserve due consolation?"
In the empty hall, the Marquis of Holard Minest, who was sitting at the table, spoke endlessly, neither fast nor slow, but there seemed to be some kind of power in the undulating voice, and people had to listen to him continue: "Could it be that the merit of one of the chief knights of the Knights of the Sacred Tree in annihilating 50,000 heretics is greater than the total annihilation of 300,000 barbarians by His Highness?"
This time it wasn't just Berrion, almost all the Imperial Ministers looked at the impassioned Marquis de Minest with some dumbness - they hadn't seen the old man so tough in a long time, and they were even a little overly excited.
But more importantly, what he said could not be refuted by others, and he could not help but nod his head in agreement, and watched the Home Secretary continue to speak: "I believe in the glory of the kingdom, but I believe more in the justice of the kingdom - such a great victory, and more importantly, so quickly, that a deadly threat was defused in just a few months." It's definitely worth giving them their own triumph!"
"You don't mean that, do you?" the new Chancellor of the Exchequer still comes from a noble family in Turin. And it's also well known. Loyal supporter of Berion: "Before His Royal Highness Anson, His Royal Highness Berion had served as the Duke of Hantu City for decades, during which he fought hundreds of battles thousands of times, why didn't you fight for Lord Berion at that time, or is your Lord Berion not a qualified Duke of Hantu City?!"
"Your accusations are deeply regrettable, Lord Kane Durant, and they are very perplexing to me - first I am the Secretary of State, and secondly I am the Marquis of Seahorse Harbor. I'm not trying to qualify for a triumph for anyone, I'm just proposing. Old Man Holard smiled slightly: "Besides, the reason is that Lord Berion also said it just now, the war in Handi is just a civil war. ”
"Then why are you ...... again today" The Chancellor of the Exchequer named Kane just thought that he had caught Hollard's speech disease, but soon suddenly understood - if he continued to talk about it, he would pull out another thing, why did such a powerful enemy appear in Hantu during Berion's tenure as the Duke of Hantu City and not be stopped?!
Isn't that a more serious dereliction of duty?!
"Master Holard Minest's proposal is very correct, and of course I did not expect that this so-called 'Blue Wolf Clan' would be so powerful that I did not realize in time that it was indeed worthy of the trust of the kingdom. This is my rerequiretion. The expressionless Berion slowly spoke: "At this point, Anson is indeed better than my uncle. ”
The voice has not yet fallen. The ministers around him couldn't help but look at the Lord Keeper of the Seals with approval - to be able to face his mistakes so calmly and to be so fond of his juniors is a model of chivalry. Only the Marquis of Holard couldn't help but sigh in his heart, still smiling and looking at Berion.
"But I am sure that you, as Secretary of State for the Interior, are well aware that the Kingdom's finances are not very rosy, and even dangerous—we have just had a good summer, and we have spent a great deal of money on Sir Guér. Valense's triumphal ceremony, and it is time to plan for the winter, and not to be extravagant. ”
"You're right, so I'm going to make His Highness Anson's second request. Holard Minest smiled and continued, "He is willing to bear the entire cost of this triumphal ceremony - yes, from recruiting manpower, preparing ceremonies and ceremonies, and all the expenses, the Duke of Hantu City will bear it alone!"
"I believe that such an act is definitely a model for the sake of the kingdom - not only that, but after the end of the Vast War, His Highness Anson received a large amount of booty, many of which were very memorable, such as the Great Tent of the King of the Vast Land, the head of the King of the Vast Land, and a few gilded swords and spears, all of which were donated to the kingdom, and he would not keep any of them. ”
Of course, he is the heir of the Markellus family, and the entire kingdom belongs to the Marcherus family, what is the difference between donating to the kingdom and giving it to himself-even if everyone understands this truth, but when such righteous and awe-inspiring words come out, everyone has to make a very touched and surprised look.
"That's what I offer, and the decision is yours. His gaze swept over the faces of approval around him, and Hollard's gaze was still straight at Berion: "Your Excellency the Lord of the Seals, what is your decision?"
"Since he did such a beautiful job, then why not?" Berion also smiled slightly: "Then give Anson Marchelus and his warriors a triumphal ceremony of their own, this is my decision, and the decision of the entire kingdom!"
Surprised, bewildered, thoughtful, delighted...... The various expressions in the hall of the Imperial Council were as wonderful as if it were a play, and everyone was trying their best to play themselves and perform as they should.
It wasn't until the meeting was over, the royal ministers had left the hall one by one, and Holard Minest's age-looking back had walked out of the door, that the smile on Berion's face faded and was replaced by unparalleled indifference.
"Why do you agree with that old thing, it's going to be a terrible disaster!" Chancellor of the Exchequer Kane Durant couldn't help but complain: "In less than two days, the news will spread throughout the city of Turin, and Anson Marcherus will ...... by then."
"Even if I refuse, this old thing will be in two days...... No, as long as I object, the news will spread throughout the city of Turin in half a day, and the Minister of the Seals, who is his uncle, is jealous of his nephew's merits, and resolutely refuses his reasonable request for triumph, do you believe that Holard will be even more shameless than this?!" Berrion shouted almost with a roar: "If you don't want to be used as a fool and a target for attack, you better learn to be smart!"
"But, you can't watch them go on a rampage, can you?"
"Of course not, I just approved the triumph, and I haven't said when it will be - the advantage and the time are still on our side. Berion snorted coldly: "How could you give them such a good opportunity?!"
Although he endured his anger, Berion still gritted his teeth in his heart, he really underestimated this old thing, he had been dormant for too long, and he had been in the position of Minister of the Interior for too long, so that many people had forgotten that this person was the Marquis of Seahorse Harbor, the person who commanded the entire royal fleet, and the person who once beat the entire Dominica Kingdom on the sea!
How could such an old man, who had gone through two generations of kings and once commanded the royal fleet, be bullied by others--now that I think about it, the more I look at it, the more I look at it, the more it looks like he is deliberately conniving, allowing himself to forget him, ignore him, and no longer even see him as a threat, so that such a situation has occurred today!
"You've only won the first game, Holard Minest, and we'll have plenty of time to build on before my good brother is taken away by the Radiant Cross. Barrion muttered to himself, "I'm not going to let you win the next game - cherish the time you're still alive, old thing!" )
