Chapter 312: The Voice of the Northwest

The first emperor Marcy Augustine ruled for more than ten years, although because of the stable situation on the mainland, there was no martial arts that could be used, but he was really good in terms of culture and governance, and he made quite a lot of achievements.

Especially in the more than ten years in power, the bigwigs of the upper echelons of the empire who have been in power have basically been recovered by him, and they are all factions loyal to the emperor. It can be described as deep-rooted.

Now there is a sudden coup d'état, and the emperor is dead, and it is not clear...... Although it was announced to the public that the charges could be planted on those "real Augustine", anyway, these people had already been killed, and even the servants of the private army guarding the house in Dongyuan had been killed cleanly, and the dead would naturally not justify themselves.

But the problem is that if you talk about such a statement, it will deceive the ordinary people in the lower echelons of the empire who do not know the situation, or those nobles in the middle and lower classes. The real magnates of the empire, who does not understand the real situation?

With those "real Augustinians", where could they have the ability to overthrow an emperor in his power? If they had that ability, they would have done it ten years earlier.

But in the current situation, the emperor has been overthrown after all, a coup d'état has occurred, the first emperor has died, and the new emperor has succeeded to the throne. Even though some people are skeptical, even unconvinced, and unwilling, the general trend has gone.

Shiloh has the most orthodox bloodline, and he is already the only heir, even if anyone wants to oppose him, there is no way to oppose him. Where else can I find an heir who is more noble than his bloodline?

As for the nobles who witnessed the whole coup d'état in the palace that night, they were also uneasy.

At this moment, I am only worried that the new emperor, who stepped on the corpse of the previous emperor, will swing the blood-stained butcher's knife at him, and it is too late to protect himself, where do he dare to make any mistakes.

Shiloh was also very busy.

The coronation ceremony was hastily handled, even if it was completed, this may be the most hasty and humble coronation ceremony of the emperor in the thousand years since the founding of the empire, except for those war years.

The whole ceremony took less than an hour. It was just hastily held in the palace. There was no guard of honor, no band, no people in the city to watch the ceremony, no salute of flowers and cannons.

Not even the auspicious hour was counted.

The president of the Magical Guild and the Pope were invited to observe the ceremony, and then the coronation of the new emperor was announced.

Even the next day, many people in the city who were closed did not know that the emperor of the empire had changed.

It wasn't until the notices were posted and the flags were hung on the palace and the gates that people knew that the heavens of the empire had changed.

However, Thor's Whip has taken over the Imperial Capital once and for all. In the three days that the magic array has not been withdrawn, it has completely controlled the city.

Shiloh knew very well that he was far from at the moment when he could sit back and relax.

His first action was to pacify and purge him! These two actions were carried out almost simultaneously.

After the coup d'état that night, there were already some powerful people in the imperial capital who saw that the general trend was gone, or their hearts were already swinging, and they swore allegiance to him one after another that night.

And some important ministers of the empire and the big men in power in various ministries are the objects of his focus to appease.

The military headquarters has Aker in charge. This deep-rooted son of the Luo Lin family can naturally suppress the military headquarters. The Minister of War, the Count of Berrion of the Rollin family, had already fainted on the night of the coup d'état, and was sent back to his home the next day to recuperate, nominally to recuperate. In fact, a team of sergeants of Thor's Whip were stationed outside the Luo Lin family's mansion to supervise it, so that the old man could not have contact with the outside world. In this way, the possibility of this loyal old man trying to turn over some tricks was cut off.

The military headquarters is stable. Other things can be calmly slowed down.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has been imprisoned directly in the Palace, the Secretary of State, the Attorney-General of the State Council. These old fellows are very paranoid and refuse to give in to Shiloh.

Shiloh was not in a hurry, he locked it up first, and sent a few teams of Thor's whip sergeants to watch the mansions of these big families first, and then he quickly carried out a small-scale cleansing.

Although the former Emperor Marchi has been in power for more than ten years, the upper echelons of the empire are his people. But the truth of the world is very simple: if someone supports you and supports you, there must be someone who opposes you.

When the emperor was in power, those who were loyal to him, loyal to him, and trusted and reused by him must have held important positions of authority in the upper echelons of each empire. But since there are people who hold these positions, there must be some people who are unwilling, not reused, or not appreciated by the emperor.

The Roland Empire was founded for thousands of years, and in just one city in the imperial capital, there are hundreds of large and small aristocratic families?

There are always those who have been unsatisfactory for many years, and there are people who are not loyal to the emperor.

Since Shiloh has endured and planned for many years, he naturally has a lot of candidates in his pocket.

Some people, as early as some time ago, when the crown prince dispute was established, had already supported him when they were competing for the position of crown prince, and these people naturally became the new imperial henchmen at this moment.

There are also some people who were not willing to be promoted during the reign of the former emperor, and Xiluo has secretly investigated for many years, and there are always a group of people who have fallen into his eyes, and they can naturally be promoted and entrusted with reuse at this moment.

Just imagine, the first emperor didn't wait to see you, and now that the new emperor ascends the throne, he will immediately reuse you, these people are naturally grateful, and they don't hesitate to fall to Xiluo.

In just a few days, although the positions of the ministers and chiefs of various ministries have not been changed, Shiloh has promoted more than a dozen senior officials in one go, and the deputy ministers of various ministries have almost changed all over again, and some middle-level officials who were originally unwilling to do so quickly fell to the new emperor.

Even if those bigwigs of various ministries still refuse to give in and are still locked in a cage, even if they refuse to be loyal in the future, after they are released, they will find that most of their commanders' deployments have changed.

Gradually, most of this authority was controlled by Shiloh.

Three days later, the magic circle closed and the city gates opened.

After retaking over the Guards of the Royal City, Shiloh made another bold and risky move in the eyes of Aker and the others!

Originally, according to Aker's construction, the 30,000 royal city guards should be directly restrained in the military camp outside the city, and after disarming, they should be slowly guarded, and some people should be selected from the local army in the future. The Wangcheng Guards who enriched the imperial capital broke up the original group of old people and distributed them to garrisons in various places, so that it was the most stable.

But Shiloh denied it.

"Most of these guards are from the imperial capital, and as a guard, they all have a sense of pride in their hearts. If they are demoted to the local army, and they are forced to leave their homes and families, it is difficult to ensure that these people do not cause any trouble. Now is the time when people's hearts are not stable, if I act like this everywhere to guard against them. The more I do this, the more others will think that I am weak in heart and strong on the outside. ”

Shiloh's words left Aker speechless.

Immediately, Shiloh ordered the 30,000 royal city guards to be reorganized on the spot.

He heeded the advice of Panin's father, General Garonin, and drew two thousand men from the First Division and another thousand from Thor's Whip. As the backbone, he was charged into the Imperial Forest Army, which had been completely wiped out.

Then he incorporated some of the remaining members of the patrol team of the Imperial Capital Security Bureau, plus the remaining Thor's whip, into the royal city guard.

After some careful mixing. The Wangcheng Guards were already unrecognizable, the commanders of various battalions and teams were transferred, and the officers and soldiers under their command were all old and new. He also promoted some of the middle and low-level officers of Thor's Whip who had made great contributions on the night of the coup d'état, and arranged them in the Imperial Guard.

So. Even if the Guards are stable, even if some people still want to make some trouble, the entire army has changed greatly. Even if you want to make trouble in series, you can't connect it in series.

And Shiloh did this, and there was a layer of hidden intentions, and even Aker himself knew this intention: to break up the second division of Thor's Whip, which he relied on the most in this coup.

In fact, it is equivalent to taking back Aker's direct command of the army in disguise!

What kind of person is Shiloh, he can endure and plan for many years, and the coup d'état is on the throne, although he is very dependent on Aker during the coup, but he is also very aware of the disadvantages of not getting rid of the tail, if he relies too much on Aker, it is likely to create a military oligarch who supports the army and respects himself.

Especially in the early days of his ascension, if he left this hidden danger, he didn't know what kind of big trouble would happen in the future.

Aker has also been in the struggle for power for half his life, so he naturally understands the intentions of the new emperor, but he does not resist. Anyone who becomes an emperor, as long as the emperor is not a mediocre person, such measures are the proper meaning of the question, and the emperor's refusal to control himself is also a good thing in some respects, it is much better than being suspicious of the emperor in the future, and then being directly killed by the emperor.

Anyway, Shiloh is already going to marry his daughter Jill, with the background of the Rollin family, even if he is not directly in charge of the military power on the front line, he has laid an unbreakable foundation for the development of the family in the next few decades!

As long as this Emperor Shiloh does not fall, he will definitely be absolutely reused by himself, the hero who vigorously supported his ascension! Otherwise, who would be willing to die for him?

In the midst of many compromises, power exchanges, and purges, the days passed like this.

The mixing of the Wangcheng Guards was quickly completed, and the various defense areas were also replaced, and the garrisons of several Acropolis outside the Imperial Capital were also rotated and transferred.

Subsequently, the mixed Guards retook over the defense of the imperial capital, and the new Imperial Forest Army also settled in the palace.

The various important branches of imperial power were changed and replaced. Small-scale purge of the military department......

Xiluo's appearance xiàn does not look like a newcomer at all, but like a male lord who has been in power for a lifetime, he is old and steady, one by one, and soon the emperor's unstable hearts are suppressed, and even some aristocratic and wealthy families who were originally quite unconvinced gradually have nothing to say, no gap to take advantage of, so they have to settle down.

Seeing that the new emperor had already secured the throne, Aker quickly proposed his own proposal.

Now that the imperial capital has stabilized, the next step is to adjust the feudal officials in various parts of the country!

The former emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and all the people in various parts of the empire who can sit on the feudal territory are all candidates valued and trusted by the emperor, such as the governor of Fritz, who has been in the East China Sea for more than ten years.

If such a person continues to stay in the local government, then for a long time, there is a possibility of overthrowing the central government of the imperial capital. The new emperor succeeded to the throne, naturally after the imperial capital stabilized the general trend. The next step is to adjust the local bosses, win over a group, suppress a group, and replace a group of their own people, which is an inevitable step.

Aker's advice made sense, but Shiloh shook his head again.

"Wait!"

"Wait?" Aker looked puzzled.

Aker, who has been officially appointed as the deputy minister of military affairs, does not have much selfish intention in proposing such a proposal. Although he is only the Deputy Minister of War, the official Minister of War is his own father, and the old earl is almost equivalent to being under house arrest, up and down the military department. It is already Aker who alone has the final say. What's more, Shiloh had already promised him that after a while, he would find a name to let the old earl take his place and straighten himself out.

Besides, his daughter is about to become the queen, so what is there to worry about.

In a study in the palace, Aker looked at the new emperor in front of him. I couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty...... Now that the situation in the imperial capital has stabilized, there must be no slackness in local affairs! Some people are watching the wind at the moment, and if we don't make any moves, I'm afraid that they will still think that you are weak-hearted. It's going to be even more out of control in the future. ”

Shiloh shook his head: "My Roland Empire has always practiced the separation of local military and government. Even if the governors of various places have the intention of waiting and seeing, there is no need to worry too much in the short term, as long as you stabilize the army, then the local people do not need to be in such a hurry to move for the time being. You're right, though. But at the moment, I'm more concerned about something else...... I'm still waiting!"

"Wait?" Aker thought for a moment. His face changed, and he immediately understood Shiloh's intentions, he took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "You...... Are you waiting for the attitude of the Northwest?"

“...... Not bad!"

The two of them glanced at each other, and both fell silent at the same time.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Shiloh and Aker's thoughts were the same at the moment!

Provinces throughout the empire, dozens of governors, feudal officials, and local magnates...... No matter how wait-and-see attitude these people are, it is actually not the most important thing!

The most important thing is the attitude of the one in the northwest!

Northwest...... Loulan City, Tulips!!

The prestige of tulips has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the Roland Empire!

Shiloh knows very well that if he says something that may be a little helpless, the people of the empire are only afraid of Tulip's words, and his prestige is far better than that of his new emperor!

The other governors just waited and watched, everyone was actually waiting, waiting for the voice of the Northwest Tulip Family!

At this moment, if the Tulip family expresses its attitude, acknowledges the legitimacy of Shiloh, the new emperor, and expresses its willingness to be loyal to the new emperor, then Shiloh can be regarded as truly sitting on the throne!

If the Tulip family suddenly issued a statement denouncing Shiloh as a traitor usurping power, and refusing to recognize the legitimacy of his new emperor, then ......

It is no exaggeration to say that what awaits Shiloh is a terrible civil war!

Moreover, if the Tulip family takes the lead in setting off a civil war against themselves, then ...... Your chances of winning are even extremely slim!

After all, he has just succeeded to the throne, and the imperial army has not really controlled it, and the only people who can control it are only the tens of thousands of people in the imperial capital.

And the Tulip family...... The prestige in the army can almost be said to be a hundred responses!

If that's the case......

"It's fine. Shiloh looked at Aker's face was a little pale, and smiled faintly: "I have already counted this matter in my heart." If the current Tulip patriarch had been a man, I might have dispelled the idea of a coup d'état. But after all, it is my little aunt who is now in charge of the Tulip family. A woman is in charge of a large family...... She would never go that dead end. ”

“...... Well. ”

Aker nodded as well, agreeing with Shiloh's words.

Truly...... The patriarch of the Tulip family is a woman, which has caused the congenital deficiency of the Tulip family's generation.

A woman will not be so ambitious, nor will she be so decisive and ruthless.

Women are always weaker than men.

Let alone......

"No matter what, we are all relatives, and I sit on the throne, which is also acceptable to the Tulip family in terms of bloodline law. Shiloh smiled: "I also know my little aunt's personality, and with her temperament, she definitely can't make a move to pull the future fate of the entire family to fight me." Tulip family. It has been a barrier to protect the empire for generations, and my little aunt will definitely put the big picture first, and will never risk fighting a civil war with me so that the orcs can take advantage of it.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if she fights a civil war with me, even if she wins the war and destroys me, what good will it do her? The royal family has no male to succeed to the throne, unless...... My little aunt. Do you want to be an empress......? If the Tulip family wanted to be the emperor, it would be in the generation of the ancestor Du Wei. ”

......

It's not just Shiloh and Aker who are waiting for the Tulip family's reaction. Almost the entire empire, all the people were looking in the direction of the northwest, waiting for the voice of the first person in power in the northwest.

Thankfully, Shiloh's wait didn't last long.

Just ten days after the New Year, news finally came from the northwest.

The leader of the Tulip family in Loulan City, the current patriarch of the Tulip family, Miss Messiah Lorin Rudolph, sent an important figure in the family. With a team of less than 100 people, rush to the imperial capital!

The entire continent is nervously waiting for the outcome of this matter.

Is it war...... Or peace?

What relieved many people was that in the territory of the Tulip family, the mysterious and powerful private army of the Tulip family. There was no trace of any mobilization, not even any mobilization.

As if to avoid any misunderstanding, the Tulip family even announced the cancellation of the annual spring military drill that was supposed to be held after the New Year.

This move has made many people feel more and more at ease.

After more than ten days of trekking along the way. With almost the entire continent under the watchful eye, the team of envoys of the Tulip Family finally arrived in the imperial capital in early February of the new year.

At this time, a full month had passed since the coup.

Although the leader of this emissary procession. is just a figure in the head of the tulip family, but Shiloh received the envoy of the tulip family with the courtesy of a feudal official.

It is no exaggeration to say that from the first moment he entered the gate of the imperial capital, this envoy was watched by people from all sides, until he entered the palace and met the new emperor Xiluo!

No one knows what happened when the new emperor received the envoy of the tulip family.

The envoy stayed in the palace for less than an hour before leaving the palace, and then took all the Tulip family members to live in the Tulip Mansion in the imperial capital.

And in the palace, in the study, Shiloh looked at the handwritten letter from his little aunt on the table, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"陛xià...... Duke Tulip what she means......"

At this moment, the only person who can stand in this study is Akerr, Shiloh's most trusted minister now.

"This little aunt of mine is in line with my previous expectations, and she doesn't mean to have a big fight with me. Shiloh's first words made Aker breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Shiloh smiled bitterly: "But...... She put forward a few conditions, and her words were very resolute, if I couldn't agree to her conditions, I was afraid that ...... The consequences may not be as I expected. ”

“...... Article, conditions?!"

......

Shiloh made no secret of it, and directly handed the handwritten letter to Aker to see.

This handwritten letter...... It is more appropriate to say a list of transactions than a letter.

To Aker's surprise, the first condition put forward by the duchess in his heart was to ask Shiloh to release a person immediately and hand him over to the messenger team she sent to bring him back to the northwest!

The imperial capital is now full of things, a huge empire has changed dynasties, how many interests need to be exchanged, and compromises are needed, but the duchess is the most important, the first condition on the list of conditions, is actually to ask for a person!

"Darlingchen?" Aker was stunned for a moment: "She...... Actually, the first condition is to want this kid? This, this kid, how can she get the Messiah she values so much? Such an unhindered and relaxed kid, what if he gave her...... Uh?陛xià?"

What surprised Aker even more was that the new emperor Xiluo, who was standing on the side, sighed softly, and his expression was very complicated...... His expression was actually very embarrassed, as if he was ...... He was very reluctant to agree to such a condition?!

"This first ...... I can't say yes!" (To be continued)
