Chapter 772: Turning the World Upside Down (7)
As the sword light swept by, the audience cooperated with an exclamation. However, the sword didn't seem to have any effect, as if it had been slashed, and the beasts were all unharmed. It wasn't until a few breaths later, as if misplaced, the heads of all the fierce beasts slowly slipped off, and there was no trace of blood flowing out at all, and the cold fighting qi carried by that sword had already frozen the fracture.
"Wow!" the audience let out another exclamation. And those black-robed slaves were all well-trained, and without waiting for the heads of those fierce beasts to hit the ground, they took out the large plates they carried and steadily caught the nine heads. After handing it over to the waiting priests, the priests sang the sacrificial song in unison, and with neat steps, placed the nine heads side by side at the bottom of the main altar.
"Nine white sacrifices, no blood. Congratulations to Your Majesty!Holy Blessing, the battle for the Holy Land must be invincible!" It was Duke Slomka who said to be amused. And his words were echoed in a chord.
Empress Kelly was equally pleased: "Although the path is guided by the Holy Spirit, it still takes warriors to overcome obstacles. Please!" Empress Gilly raised her skirt and bent her knees. And General Overmars and others also hurriedly returned the salute.
"Your Majesty, forgive your Majesty, Your Majesty has a reluctant request!" General Overmars said suddenly, after returning the salute. And this statement made the audience stunned, because there was no such arrangement in today's ceremony?
And Princess Gilly reacted quickly: "Old general, you are polite, please speak." ”
General Overmars saluted again, and then actually took out a book from his bosom: "Your Majesty, please read it, this is a joint letter of one hundred and thirty-four officers in His Majesty's army." I beseech your Majesty, that all these warriors voluntarily give up all their possessions here. Go to the Holy Land to gain your glory. I hope Your Majesty will agree. ”
General Overmars's words were heard through the audience through a magical amplification. Immediately, there was a huge exclamation. It's just a complete ruin, leaving no way out for yourself! But on the other hand. The ruins of these officers also reflect their loyalty to the demons and to Empress Jili. It also showed great self-confidence in this expedition.
Only Duke Slomka and Hammett were present. Why? Because the two of them also had a group of officers who went out on the expedition, and they wanted to play this hand in front of Empress Gilly, and it was exactly the same hand. So the two of them are almost crying aggrievedly, how can they ...... with a truncated beard?
......
On the surface, this request is nothing more than a manifestation of demonism. In fact, deep down, it has a very deep political meaning.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, this truth should be understood, right? The new emperor succeeded to the throne. You have to appoint a group of new courtiers who are close to you. If you don't, then go and see Trucy the Great, who has been in the air for months!
But on the other hand, what should the old courtiers do? Is it the core of their voluntary withdrawal of rights? This is an unsolvable problem. Either wait for the old courtiers to die, or use strong means. If one is not handled well, it will lead to political turmoil in the government, and even kill people's heads.
However, this expedition to the Holy Land happened to be an opportunity. Transfer the territories of those great families to the Yuansheng Continent, and shrink or recover the population of their territories in the Demon Realm. For the old courtiers, the emperor will be far away in the future, and the truth of the chicken head and oxtail should all be understood. In particular, the conditions of the "Holy Land" are far better than those of the Demon Realm, and it is also an excellent arrangement. For Empress Ji Li, the extra power space is all filled by the new courtiers, who can control the entire court situation like an arm.
To put it mildly. Those new courtiers have no foundation, so they can only listen to the will of Empress Gilly and fight wherever they want. In case of disobedience, it is easy to replace. It won't cause any turmoil.
So this is a very clever political maneuver!
However, to Hammet's dumbfounding, this was clearly before being reborn. What was the later method used by Duke Slomka? Hammit just used it in advance. But why? Empress Gilly did the same, and was one step ahead. Isn't that scientific?
"Wha-!" the Great Demon King Yukong, who was hidden in Hammet's body, burst out laughing, and he gloated with great schadenfreude, "Boy! ”
"Shut up!" Hammett suddenly became annoyed, "don't piss off the labor. Don't you want all the materials you need?"
"Hehe!" the Great Demon King Yukong didn't dare to continue laughing, "It's okay to eat once in a while, but don't put on a stinky face all day long." I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten rice. You come and ask for advice, and I will teach you a few tricks. ”
"Ask you for advice?" Hammet's stomach was on fire, making him speak very unpolitely, "You're so smart that you don't even have a body, I still need to ask you?"
"Okay, good!" Realizing that Hammit was really angry, the Great Demon King Yukong didn't dare to tease, "Whatever you want." I went to sleep. Play by yourself!"
Therefore, superstition is reborn, and sometimes it makes a great mistake. In the space before Hammet's rebirth, Empress Gilly was a good wife and mother, and the regent of the court was indeed all Duke Slomka. But...... How does Hammett know the real situation when he is just a mine slave?
And the truth is actually like this: Empress Gilly is actually very politically talented, but she is not very willing to be in the limelight, and she is not willing to "chill" the heart of Duke Slomka, who is actively seizing power, so after controlling the direction, she will give Duke Slomka power. Anyway, the "rudder" is also in her hands.
In the original time and space, this political method was originally suggested by Empress Kelly, and it was nothing more than Duke Slomka's concrete implementation on the table. And now, it's a big joke.
Suddenly encountering a mutation, Duke Slomka really has no great wisdom, and he is already a master of the six gods. Even Hammett was only annoyed, but his mind was a mess. The Great Demon King Yukong finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he reminded: "Let that fool send a signal, and submit it as well! I don't know if I'm with you guys and I'm going to watch you die stupidly. ”
"But...... What about Earl Jack?" Hammett was still confused.
Originally, Hammett's plan was: to arrange for his cronies to go up and change their territory. Let Count Jack make a fuss again, and the Duke of Slomka will blow the "pillow wind" again, creating a threat of the power of the family, and scaring Empress Gilly into nodding in agreement.
