Chapter 142: Unprecedented
Stern's such a substandard performance really made Captain Cao feel a sense of loss. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Commander Cao didn't know whether to attribute this to his own rapid progress, or Stern's regression was too great. The magic of power lies in the fact that it can conquer the most holy people, but the high position is never so stable, always the capable go up, the mediocre let go, and the mediocre go down. If Stern stays at this level, even if Captain Cao doesn't do anything, his good days are coming to an end.
"Okay, okay, today is originally an internal matter of our empire, so there is no need to bring so many indifferent people and things in. It was only then that His Majesty Pedro spoke with a smile. Why His Majesty Pedro is the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Beamon Empire can be glimpsed from here, no matter when, no matter what the situation, His Majesty Pedro is so calm. Just think about how much has happened just now, His Majesty Pedro's expression has not changed, and he has been sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. When he takes a stand, no one doesn't turn the focus to him.
"Regarding today's topic, we are just rewarding the soldiers who have paid their blood and sweat in the southern expedition. Since His Majesty Stern has made a special trip to come over, you might as well get involved!" His Majesty Pedro smiled and asked Stern to take a seat, so that people could not see the slightest disharmony between the two giants. His Majesty Pedro seemed to be like this to everyone, and no one had ever seen him angry, and the smile seemed to grow on his face.
"Yes, the state affairs of the empire always need the participation of the clergy who serve the beast god, which is sacred and solemn. I hope I'm not wrong about that. Captain Cao didn't smile, and said in a weird way. It's not an insinuation, it's just a sword pointing directly at Stern. Stern is indeed a little too concerned about the affairs of the empire, and the style of wanting to intervene everywhere also makes many people complain, but because of his status as the pope, everyone does not speak. Head Cao has no scruples, and every time he is-for-tat, he will not give an inch.
"People, as they get older, they always become worried. Seeing the bright future of the empire and my compatriots will always be my life's wish. "Stern's cheeks are thick enough not to be angry at all, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to go today.
"Commander Cao's outstanding performance in the Southern Expedition, I believe that I don't need to say more, everyone has already seen it. In fact, on the issue of rewarding Captain Cao, I have always been a little bit bad, and I need a little reference. His Majesty Pedro once again acted as a peacemaker and said with a smile: "Because of the efforts of Commander Cao, the casualties of our Southern Expeditionary Army can be said to have been controlled to a minimum. Grand Duke Klose's suggestion was that, in terms of nobility, Commander Cao could be canonized as a hereditary count of the empire and have his own family coat of arms. What do you think about this?"
Many people cast envious glances at Commander Cao, because Captain Cao's official identity is only an Ace donkey, and the Ace donkey is also a well-known Pingxia middle peasant professional household in the Beamon Empire, and this race has almost never produced any famous figures. Now the height that Captain Cao has reached is unprecedented in the race of donkey people of the Ace tribe, which is enough to shine in the history of this race. There may be some people who have doubts about Captain Cao's true race, but Captain Cao's stubborn personality really seems to be like that, so no one asks more.
The hereditary nobility of the empire, and the inheritance of the family coat of arms, this canonization not only gives Commander Cao himself a great honor, but even shades the descendants of Commander Cao. At least with this identity, Captain Cao will gradually break away from the position of a local nouveau riche in the eyes of others, and it is very likely that the empire will have an additional family with a strong background.
It's just that Captain Cao himself doesn't necessarily think that this has much significance, and he is brilliant for a thousand years? Perhaps, Commander Cao is not too keen on this kind of formalistic thing. Iron striking also needs its own hardness, as long as its own background is strong enough, what does it matter if it is a hereditary nobleman of the empire or not? One more hereditary earl is just a better name to hear, and it is just a title to scare people when pretending to be forced. Head Cao is still a little superstitious, he feels that he is still young now, and he doesn't need anything to shine, because it is often in the same time as the thousand years, but also the eternal, which is not very auspicious.
"Of course I don't have any opinion, this is the reward that Captain Cao deserves. Stern smiled kindly, nodded, and said, "And I came here today, in fact, I also want to vomit a good thing in pairs." Commander Cao's heroic and fearless performance on the battlefield of the Southern Expedition turned the tide, even those of us who served the beast god were also pleased. Therefore, in the congregation of the main shrine of Auburn Hills, we agreed that we should award Commander Cao with five gold badges symbolizing wisdom, bravery, hard work, benevolence, and glory on behalf of the temple. He was also granted a unique robe of glory to the sun, moon and stars, and from then on, any priest of the Bimon Temple was given priority in receiving the salute. ”
Stern apparently came prepared, and explained very well why he was "particularly concerned" about Captain Cao. Stern clapped his hands, and immediately his younger brother reluctantly delivered the prizes to Captain Cao. Commander Cao did not postpone it, and immediately hung five gold glory badges on his chest, and since then, head Cao has obtained eleven gold glory badges. The sun, moon and stars priest robe, Head Cao also hung it on his body like a cloak.
This kind of glory is indeed extraordinary, and the envy of everyone is even a little stronger, and Eliza's little girl's face is even dancing with her eyebrows. Any girl would like to see her sweetheart become famous. It's just that Captain Cao himself is still so calm, he still stares at Stern indifferently, without a hint of gratitude.
Gold Glory Badge? What kind of bird feather is that? Maybe many people can't mix a bronze Glory Badge after a lifetime of struggle, but there are so many things in this thing that Captain Cao can open an exhibition. It is similar to the noble title of the hereditary earl, what is the use of it except pretending to be coercive? In the past, when he was poor, he might be able to mix a few meals if he sold this thing, but now that the head of the Cao regiment is not bad for money, he can even make a few rooms of gold glory badges to play with. These don't have much substantive significance, and Stern is happy to send them as a favor, not with his money anyway, but with his generosity. As for the sun, moon and stars robe, Captain Cao didn't take it seriously, it was just a special piece of clothing. Normally, when he could not wear clothes, Captain Cao chose to go shirtless, and in some ways, it was not as deceptive as the robe of the traveling priest. Whether the other priests should bow first or not, this question has never been considered by the head of the Cao. Stern also knew that Captain Cao would never be respectful to him, so this meaningless dress had no effect.
"The admonitions of the sages always echo in my ears: horses always run against storms, and holly always stands proudly in the snow and ice of winter. Here, I would like to thank the Mother Empire for her recognition and the praise of the Temple, but I will always adhere to the spirit of moving forward, and the direction of the Empire is my direction whenever and wherever I am. The will of the temple is my will. However, Head Cao still knew how to be polite and said polite words, which sounded impeccable.
As for the truth of what Captain Cao said, it is a matter of opinion for everyone present. Most people prefer to believe a little joke about Commander Cao: Ninety percent of the famous quotes that come out of Commander Cao's mouth are made up by himself to fool others, which is definitely the unanimous opinion of all the sages who live in the underworld. In the entire Pan-American continent, there are few people who can be qualified to compare with Captain Cao in terms of mouth artillery. When he is happy, he can talk endlessly and talk wildly. When he was unhappy, it was the Lord of Yama who issued a notice, and there were many nonsense.
"At the same time, because of Captain Cao's outstanding merits, I have already discussed with Grand Duke Klose, and it is no longer so suitable for Captain Cao to continue to serve as the head of the Royal Confession Mission. After all, such a person with noble character, deeds and responsibilities should not only serve our royal family. He is a hero of the empire and should serve the whole empire better. All we old guys have to do is find a way to give him a place where he can make a difference. His Majesty Pedro looked at Captain Cao approvingly, and said slowly, just like a kind and kind elder looking at a young and promising junior, no one will feel abrupt. But at the same time, everyone also pricked up their ears, this is the highlight of tonight.
"I agree! The hen's ideal is nothing more than a handful of chaff. For a promising person like Captain Cao, only the sky is his limit!" Stern also nodded, and at this time, this old man never opened his mouth to mention the sensitive topics just now. Everyone knows what it is, just to be able to talk about other things later.
"The credit made by Captain Cao, in fact, no kind of reward is too much. And as a hereditary earl, there should be a hereditary fief, so we decided to give Commander Cao a hereditary fief worthy of his merits, and have the power to form a private army. The location and area of the fiefdom, including the size of the private army, Commander Cao himself could speak freely. As for the final decision, we can vote through the parliament. As for the official position of Head Cao, with all due respect, we really can't find a suitable position for Head Cao, because the talent he has shown is too comprehensive, as if he can be qualified for any position above our court, so let's wait for the time being!" "His Majesty Pedro finally dropped the bombshell, and in just an instant, it had already shocked everyone, and the whole hall was shocked, because there had never been such a reward in the history of the empire.
There is no problem at all in giving Captain Cao a noble fief and letting Captain Cao play as a lord. Now there are many hereditary nobles with fiefs above the court, and many of them are exchanged for military exploits by their ancestors on the battlefield, which is also a major tradition of the Beamon Empire, and military merits are always the highest reward. It is not unthinkable to have a private army, because the hereditary nobles with territories all have the establishment of noble private soldiers.
But in other respects, the reward is unprecedentedly amazing. However, whenever the empire rewards a noble hereditary fief, there are strict restrictions and corresponding rules, and the location of the fief is determined by the royal family, and the size of the fief is the same. The unwritten rule is that if the canonized fief is relatively rich, the area will be relatively small. And if the fief is relatively poor, then correspondingly, the area of the fief is larger. That's just the difference. As for the fiefdom of Head Cao, whether it is the location or the area, it is mentioned by the head of Cao himself, which is simply an unimaginable empty check, and the head of Cao can fill in any number on it. Theoretically, under this rule, Chief Cao wants to turn Sri Lanka into his own territory, and as long as the parliament votes to pass, Chief Cao can let His Majesty Pedro and His Majesty Stern move out of here the next day, so it is not difficult to imagine how exaggerated this territorial policy is. Even if Captain Cao didn't make a prank to put forward this idea, it was enough for everyone to be taken aback. Even if Head Cao made great contributions, this reward greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Today, Leonardo is still here, Leonardo's contributions to the empire for so many years are not small, and he has never received such an exaggerated and perverted reward.
Therefore, everyone has to wonder if His Majesty Pedro has the intention to avenge the handsome guy back then, so he deliberately used this way to disgust Leonardo. Perhaps His Majesty Pedro just wants to establish another imperial hero, and then kill Leonardo's prestige well, so that Leonardo will no longer be a standout from now on.
This is not impossible, because the intentions of His Majesty Pedro are also very few people can figure out. In this regard, he and Captain Cao also have some similarities, they are both people who don't like to play cards according to routines. Naturally, his intentions and ultimately what he wanted to achieve were unpredictable. There are many facts in the past that are striking, and His Majesty Pedro's decisions are often long after the fact before you can feel how miraculous his decisions were...... (To be continued.) )
