481 A piece of fat
Snowton's official selection is mainly divided into three major channels, aristocratic raids, civilian recruitment, and military promotion.
However, during the Victory Day turmoil, the entire civilian system fell to the eldest prince Jonas, and the provisional military government formed by Nacini showed a huge talent gap. At the same time, the rapidly expanding military has created a large number of vacancies, and those who have made military achievements can be promoted on the spot without having to be diverted to the civilian system, as in the past.
Recruiting from among the low-level officials or folk intellectuals could barely meet the needs of the grass-roots institutions, and the bureaucracy of the middle and upper classes, after excluding the other two channels, was quickly taken over by the large and small aristocrats.
“...... It can be said that the entire civil service system of the empire is controlled by them," after drinking a few glasses of wine in a row, a hint of drunkenness appeared on Nacini's face, "From the six provinces and three divisions to the local provinces, almost all officials have knighthoods, which has never been seen in the history of the empire for nearly a thousand years. ”
Allegri nodded slightly, he did not have much attainment in politics, but when all the officials of the country belonged to the same camp, the constraints on the king could be imagined.
"Inside the aristocracy, it's not monolithic, is it?" he asked, after a moment of thought. It can be seen from tonight's banquet that the relationship between the aristocratic forces is not very harmonious.
"They are like a pack of wild dogs, when they fight for carrion, they do not give in, but when a common enemy appears, they will quickly twist into a rope," Nacini was obviously deeply disturbed, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "but the interests within the empire have long been divided up by them, and even formed a certain tacit understanding, some people are greedy for military salaries, and some people extract taxes. Some people smuggle, some people monopolize, and they don't invade each other, but it's a scene of happiness, unless ......"
The handsome king raised his eyes and looked at his old friend sitting opposite. "Unless, a piece of delicious fat falls from the sky, making them salivate and can't hold back." ”
Allegri was stunned for a long time before it dawned on him. It turned out that unconsciously, he took on the role of "a piece of fat".
"I trust you, Allegri, very much. Nacchini's gaze became very sincere, and his tone was equally earnest, "But on the bright side, I can't show this kind of trust, those treacherous and cunning nobles are all political veterans who play tricks, and they only need a little wind and grass." will alarm them. ”
"...... tonight," Allegri asked subconsciously, and he only said a few words. But the meaning is clear, why did you come to see me tonight?
"I'm out of the palace in the name of Mordschic, and no one will find out," Nacini shook his head, dispelling his doubts. "Besides, with General Cartroman's side along the way, I am sure that no spy can escape his keen sense. ”
Allegri would not have doubted this. Even in the middle of the night when you can't see your fingers, the level suppression of the legendary warrior is enough to make a qiē hidden person have nothing to hide.
"What's more, I'm really worried that something will happen to you. Suddenly, King Nacini made a disrespectful gesture, and he reached out and took Allegri's hands, as if trying to convey the heat of his palms.
In the same words, the same action, made by people of different identities, the effect is also very different. When the high-ranking emperor held his hands tightly, Allegri's heart suddenly swelled with a warm current, and the resentment that had accumulated for many days also disappeared.
Years later, the old love is still there, the old friends are still there, and that's enough.
Rainy night, long street.
"Master Cartroman. Dargnan hesitated for a moment, but still gave his hand, and saluted the superior with the etiquette of a warrior.
They seem to have old?
Mordschic was unmoved on the surface, but secretly pricked up his ears. Although this young palm seal officer had served briefly in the "Golden Hibiscus", his body had always been weak, and he was shivering in the cold rain at this time. But the external environment seemed to be difficult to affect his inner state of mind, he looked at the two people next to him with interest, and the scattered information in his memory began to fly through the lines, trying to find out the valuable information in it.
"Supposedly, you're a student of Allegri?" Cartroman smiled, his hands behind his back, and glanced casually at the sky. With this simple action, the raindrops suddenly stagnated, and in an instant, no more rain fell above the heads of the three people, or rather, they took the initiative to avoid this space within a radius of more than ten steps, and did not dare to cross the slightest step.
"Yes. Dalgnan nodded and admitted, without saying anything more.
"That's funny...... Cartroman, laughing again, unlike the others, he knew exactly who the Dalgnan killer was, and the mission he had completed. Now, this kid has actually become Allegri's student, and it is indeed very interesting that he has mixed up with the present.
Modesic's mind raced, pondering these thoughtless words. Why Carter Romans called it "Dalgnan", what is so interesting, one qiē and one qiē, all show that this young man who once overwhelmed Davide is not as simple as the intelligence says.
"What kind of magic is it, how boring is that," Cattroman patted the long knife at his waist, and with a typical contempt for magic in a martial artist, he opened his mouth to beckon, "Why don't you come to my account and I teach you how to use the sword?"
The curiosity in Modesic's eyes suddenly turned into shock. Known as "Snowdon's No. 1 Master", Cartroman's status is also one of the most famous commanders, and his status is almost as high as that of a king. Historically, only others begged to catch up with the apprentice, how could he take the initiative to speak.
"Thank you for your kindness. Dalgnan bowed his hand again, and bowed in a very respectful tone. But after saying this, there was no more follow-up.
This is...... Refused?
Modesic, who has always been as quiet as water, couldn't help but be stunned for a while. This opportunity that can make all martial artists crazy, he actually pushed it away without hesitation, which is really incomprehensible.
"Well," as if expected, Carter Roman was not surprised in the slightest, he turned away, and looked at the endless sky to the south, with a yearning expression, and then resolutely,
"But you have to understand that taking one person's life and exchanging ten thousand taels of gold is a small technique after all;
"Then I...... I wish the general a prosperous and invincible war. Dargnan followed his gaze, and the night was like ink, like a faint fire, and white bones. (To be continued......)
