Chapter 2: The Political Situation

The sun rises in the east, the morning glow is full of sky, and a new day is coming. The civilians of the imperial capital of Mirrock began their day with the rising sun, and the streets became bustling.

It was not only the commoners who were busy, but also the high-ranking nobles and officials of the imperial capital who had to get up early to participate in the court proceedings. Richly decorated and elaborately shaped carriages galloped through the streets to the royal palace in the middle of Millrock, at the shouts of the coachmen.

The badges on the carriage represent the illustrious aristocratic families.

The main hall of the palace is still so solemn and grand, and the beauty is sacred. Miro the Great Mitte Bixia is on the throne, and the civil and military generals are on both sides. On one side of the throne, facing the courtiers, placed an ornate chair with a high back, upholstered in soft camel hair, on which Prince Regent Dick sits.

Dick squinted his eyes slightly, watching the ministers in front of him step forward one by one to start the government. At first, everyone was talking about trivial things. But as time passed, the conversation shifted to the most important events of the day.

Marshal Lupsas came out and said: "Bixia, Wechen believes that with the current situation on the continent, the most important thing is the civil strife of the Xiusi Empire, which is a unique opportunity for the Miro Empire to control or even annex the entire Xiusi Empire. ”

As soon as Lupsas's words were finished, the new prime minister, Jimmel, stood up and saluted: "Bixia, after many wars over the years, the national strength of the Miro Empire has long since withered, and what we should do now is not to invade other countries, but to restore order at home. ”

The two ministers immediately had a heated discussion in the court about whether to send troops to the Xiusi Empire. But it's just a discussion, and the Great is still young. And there are no offspring, and there is shili strong. The powerful Prince Dick was in charge, so the civil and military generals above the court did not form factions as they did during the reign of Edward VII. The two ministers are merely expressing their opinions at the moment.

In the end, the outcome of the argument was agreed, and the two said in unison: "Please Bixia Holy Will Rule!"

Mitter's face flushed slightly: "This ...... I ...... "With the encouragement and help of Dick and Arya, Mitter's shyness has improved a lot, and he has dared to express his opinion in front of his ministers in the face of ordinary things. However, now he was asked to deal with the situation on the mainland, the major matter of the survival of a country, and he immediately lost the courage to speak, and turned his eyes to Dick on the side for help.

When many old ministers saw this scene, they all shook their heads secretly. As an emperor, he should have the courage to make decisions, have the will of others, and have the consciousness to bear the destiny of a country. Relying on a so-called "Prince Regent" in this way will only make the power fall side, and if the regent is not right, he can completely override the emperor and act arbitrarily.

Although Dick has not done anything to disgrace Mitte so far, many of the courtiers are still dissatisfied with him. How could a hairy boy who had only been in the official career for a few years be able to take up the post of "Prince Regent"? And because of Mitt's trust and reliance on him, this dissatisfaction became stronger and stronger.

Faintly, the ministers of the DPRK and China who were dissatisfied with this began to gather together to discuss countermeasures. He began to test Dick through various means, began to speak to Mitt, and began to check and balance his power. Throughout the court, an alliance has gradually formed against Dick, the Prince Regent. Among them were Field Marshal Lupsas and Prime Minister Gimmel.

The extremes of things must be opposed, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. When Dick gained the power of a supreme minister, it was equivalent to attracting the suspicion and hostility of all the ministers at the same time, who knows if the Prince Regent would have the idea of wearing a yellow robe in his heart? This is the voice of all the ministers in the court.

Dick was not unaware of this, and Proo had warned him many times that if he did not suppress this alliance that was dissatisfied with the Prince Regent, disaster would one day befall him. But what could he do? These courtiers were all good ministers loyal to the Milo Society, and Milo would be greatly discouraged if he lost them.

Edward VII entrusted Dirk on his deathbed and granted the Prince Regent such an honor, and he had the grace of knowing Dirk, although Dirk's goal in entering the political arena of the Miró Empire was to borrow troops to take revenge, but he did not want to sacrifice Miró's society for this.

Thinking of this, Dick let out a long sigh. He could neither withdraw from the position of Prince Regent, nor did he want to purge Shili in the court. The result is what we are today.

Dick walked out and said loudly: "Bixia, Weichen believes that whether to send troops or not depends mainly on whether there is a suitable name, the so-called name is not right, and if the word is not good, it will not be done, and the Faun Empire sent troops to Xiusi because they have the excuse of the eldest prince Daniel." If we are going to go to war, we need a suitable excuse. ”

"Prince Dick means we shouldn't send troops?" said Marshal Lupsas, frowning.

A smile appeared on Dick's lips: "Lord Marshal, I didn't say that. Bixia, I would like to introduce you to someone. ”

"Who is it?" asked Mitt curiously.

The man was already waiting outside the temple gate, and asked Bixia to let him in. Dick laughed.

"Yes, let the guards at the gate of the main hall let him in. Mitte instructed one of the court attendants beside him. The palace envoy took the order, and after a while, a handsome young man with blond hair walked in from outside the door. He went straight to the throne, bowed and saluted, "Macfarlane, the prince of the Theseus Empire, see Miró the Great!"

"McFarlane!" suddenly resounded in the hall, and many ministers and nobles were whispering and exchanging ears.

"Is this Macfarlane, the prince of the Hughes Empire?"

"It should be true, I saw him when I visited Antonio the Great in the Theseus Empire three years ago, and it was McFarlane. ”

"How did the prince of the Xiusi Empire come here, and in what capacity did he come?"

......

The voices of the ministers were endless, but Macfarlane was unaware, and he said directly to Mitte: "Dear Miró the Great, I am the heir to the throne appointed by my father during the reign of the emperor, but I have been victimized by treachery and have to go into exile in the Miró Empire, and the purpose of my coming to the Miró Empire is to borrow troops from your country and restore the territory of my Miró Empire. ”

"Miró and Hughes have had a good relationship for almost 100 years. The battle of Huvvester that happened last year was just a small misunderstanding, the cause was just a few missionaries, and the first emperor of your country, Edward VII, sent troops to Xiusi for the sake of the Holy See of Light, and it was also because of the crusade of the Holy See of Light that they returned defeated. All this is without prejudice to the friendly relations between the two countries. ”

"Therefore, I hope that the Miro Empire can borrow troops to recover the lost land with me in the spirit of friendly relations between the two countries, and all the military losses of Miro will be repaid with the tax revenue of the empire with interest after I restore the country. ”

McFarland was talking, and Mitt and the ministers were listening attentively. At this moment, after hearing what he said, everyone fell into deep thought, and there was a sudden silence in the hall, and no one spoke.

At this time, Marshal Lupsas stood up and said: "The loss of military expenses can be compensated for in money, but the life of my heroic sergeant Miro is not so easy to compensate. ”

"This ......," muttered McFarlane, "is willing to give generous pensions to the families of the brave soldiers who died in the war." And in the future, if there is a place in the Miro Empire that needs our help, we will also be very happy to send troops to help. ”

"Then may I ask Your Highness, where did you get the money to pay for this fee?" Lupsas said aggressively.

"I have already said that I will use the taxes I will pay with interest after I return to the country. ”

"How about a simpler way to cede the eight provinces in the eastern border of the Hughes Empire to me, Miro?" Lupsas smiled, and the white teeth reminded Macfarlane of the fangs of a wolf in the wilderness.

Macfarlane was silent.

Mitt had been sitting and listening, and he couldn't figure out what to do. Subconsciously looked at Dick, who was already a Saint Realm strength, and instantly felt Mitt's gaze, he turned his head, pointed at Lupsas with his chin, and then shook his head.

Mitt understood: "Marshal Lupsas, please don't joke with His Highness Macfarlane, how can I, Milo, do such a villain act that takes advantage of people's danger?" Lupsas blushed and retreated.

"Your Highness Macfarlane, don't worry, we don't mean to covet the territory of Theseus, as for sending troops...... Mitt looked at Dick again, and Dick nodded quietly.

Mitt added: "Adhering to the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries, it will not be a problem for you to send troops to restore the country." However, as for when to send troops, we still need to consult in detail with the military. (To be continued......)
