2158 Blood Double Cross (XVII)
"Just because the Falcon Empire can accommodate a character like an adult, and the Faisan and Istanbul Empire will not, just like the blue weeds in this cup, not any kind of water can make it so comfortable!"
Francellar's eyes flashed with a luster that was neither humble nor arrogant, he picked up the water cup in front of him, and blew lightly on the blue sky weed root fragments floating on it, and several dark blue grass flakes floated up and down in the cup, as if frightened, quickly coiling the small seeds of the city.
This scene made the atmosphere in the room pause,
"What do you mean?" Hayela's eyes rolled, and his face couldn't help but rise a touch of solemnity, the blue sky weed is a slightly bitter plant grass stem that is popular for the upper nobles of the Istanbul Empire, and it is bitter and sweet in the mouth, and the reason why this blue sky weed so makes the Istanbul nobles rush to it is because when it floats in the water, it will be rolled up like a shy virgin girl by external forces, and it is only produced in small quantities on the Bobigilia Mountains on the plateau of the northwestern wilderness of the Istanbul Empire.
As an authentic wilderness in the Northwest Wilderness, Hayela knows better what each piece of blue sky and wild grass represents
Thirty years ago, the Istanbul Empire sent troops to conquer the Northwest Wilderness, defeated the alliance of the Wilderness People, and at the same time, in order to limit the population of the Wilderness People, the wilderness area was required to pay an annual tribute to the Empire of Istanbul with a thousand catties of blue sky weeds called "holy grass" by the Wilderness People. The number of wilderness people who died in that tall mountain range that was frozen in snow and ice all year round was at least a thousand, and Hayela had also entered the mountains to look for blue skies and weeds when he was a teenager, until now. I still vividly remember the corpses of my compatriots in the glacier and snow valley along the way, because the weather was extremely cold, all the corpses were frozen in the glacier, and along the way, the cold wind was terrible, and the corpses stared at the scene of the walkers in the ice with their eyes, and their souls howled miserably. The tribal disaster is precisely because of this. Hajera was determined to escape the miserable fate of the wilderness,
Decades have passed like a shadow, and the ragged boy who staggered and walked between the cold valleys of the glacier back then was already a famous general of the Istanbul Empire. But the fate of the wilderness people has not changed in the slightest, it is not that Hayera has not made efforts, Hayala even used his influence to establish an imperial province in the wilderness to Soladin I, and establish a formal rule, but Soladin I, who has always praised Hayera, refused, and the attitude of the entire Empire of Istanbul towards the establishment of a wilderness province is the same, which is the old enemy of the empire. Even the cold wind and cold valley have not worn down the anger of these barbarians, as long as the grass is cut and eradicated, the northwest of the empire will be stabilized!
"Isn't it?"
Francilar looked up at Hayera's slightly changing face. The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, and he put down the water glass, "I believe that the Governor knows the current situation of the Eastern Province better than me, Fei Shanjun's army is temporarily unable to go east, and Istanbul is also unable to take care of it, so your Excellency sits in this position, as for how much importance Istanbul and Kyoto attach to your lordship." That's a joke, don't you forget? Twenty-one years ago. The night of the bloody night in Kyoto, where blood spilled to the ankles, the nobles of Kyoto who died at the hands of adults were at least three digits, not to mention the Hash family, one of the four wealthy families in Kyoto who had almost uprooted adults, was now one of the most relied on by His Royal Highness the Second Prince
"According to the news, it is very likely that Hashluwu will be the Minister of War of Iraq, and this time, I am sure that Hashluu has definitely made a great contribution to the conferral of the Viceroy Marquis!" Francilar said in a certain tone
"That bloody night, I was just carrying out the order" Hayala's bleak mouth opened, feeling full of bitterness and indistinguishable, I don't know if it was the relationship between the blue sky and grass leaves in my mouth, or the bitterness that I couldn't relax in my heart, the bloody night in Kyoto that changed the power structure of the Istanbul Empire, how could I forget it,
It was he who held the sword in his own hand and led his troops to break into the residence of Prince Lofko, the crown prince of the empire, who was the biggest obstacle to the emperor's ascension to the emperor at that time.
The blazing fire illuminated the blood that filled the feet of the noble crown prince, and in the presence of the noble crown prince, it was himself, a wilderness barbarian, who took the eleven wives of the imperial crown prince, three sons, two daughters, one three-year-old, with a full head of lovely blonde hair, as delicate as a doll, and a four-year-old, who had begun to look at himself with cold eyes, cut off his nose with his sword one by one, and then ordered the soldiers to cut off the human heads, chop all the bodies, and pile all the brains at the feet of the crown prince, the bloody fragments of the human body and the frightened human heads scattered in a row of sixteen capes, under the light of the flickering torches, it was like an open gate of hell, and that hideous and terrifying sight made the crown prince Rovko insane on the spot
Some people say that this person is scared crazy, and some people say that he is pretending, he doesn't care so much, whether he is really crazy or not, things always have to be done, looking at this noble person who is only one line away from the emperor, shouting loudly in a pile of flesh and blood, grabbing a large number of human limbs and holding them in his mouth, watching the soldiers kick back and forth more than a dozen heads as balls, watching the crown prince chase after him like crazy, and finally holding the little daughter who is only half left, crying and smirking, gently brushing the messy blonde hair on his forehead with his hand, and the red dry marks under the corners of his eyes, Hayela still ordered the soldiers to hit the crown prince's head with a kind of corkuntil the crown prince convulsed and passed out with a large amount of foam at the mouth
That night, the imperial crown prince's mansion was attacked by rebels, the crown prince was frightened and insane, Prince Soladin repelled the rebels and kept Kyoto when Kyoto was in danger, half a year later, he ascended to the throne of the emperor with the support of everyone, eight months later, the former crown prince who had been identified as insane was found dead in the moat outside Kyoto, and then someone pointed out that it was the Hash family, one of the three wealthy families in Kyoto, who sent someone to push the crown prince down from the city wall,
This incident shook the entire empire at the time, and Hayala was serving as a guard officer in Kyoto at the time. Regarded as the first biting mad dog under the command of the new emperor, he has been exterminating political enemies for the emperor for several days, and is a confidant of Emperor Soladin. Naturally, he knows why, and even the person who testified was found by him from death row.
"The Hash family must be eliminated, nothing else matters!" In the magnificent imperial palace, which still smelled of blood, the dim candlelight shone on the cold face of the new emperor, and the sound of fingers tapping on the dark chair of hard nanmu. It's so creepy,
"If there is no valid reason. I'm going to uproot the Hash family, I'm afraid it's a little ......"
"There are already legitimate reasons, and the death of the former crown prince should be enough! You can do this thing" Emperor Soladin turned around from the front with a cold face, and explained to Hayala, who was standing behind, this is the outer city wall of Kyoto, the cold wind in winter blows on the cold stone wall, and below, there is a sound of a heavy object falling into the water,
The moat under the cold winter, although the ice is not very thick, is not so light that it can be smashed. One can imagine what a heavy force collapsed the ice on the surface of the river
"Yes. Subordinates understand"
Hayela's face nodded hurriedly, his eyes almost didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, just now, on this high city wall, the emperor pushed the former crown prince who had been frightened crazy from the battlement, after the new emperor had done this. The sneer that hung on the corner of his mouth at that time also made Ha Yela shiver. He knew that the emperor had just ascended to the throne of imperial power, and he urgently needed a large amount of money to reward those supporters, as well as to appease the increasingly dissatisfied military generals, and the new emperor always had to show something when he ascended the throne, the Iranian Empire was a slave system, and the power of the regional generals was great enough to influence the attitude of a region towards the center
But the empire was not rich in financial resources at that time, and experienced a small civil strife, if the central government of the empire could not come up with enough financial resources, it is difficult to say that those important ministers who followed Emperor Soladin because of interests, would not kill the emperor in anger, in the absence of a way, the emperor fell in love with the Hash family, which was the minister of finance of the empire for three generations, and Emperor Soladin handed over the task to Hayera, because of his status as a barbarian, many things do not need to be taken into account, there are witnesses, there are emperor's orders, and Hayala, a barbarian fierce dog, for a king, one qiē is enough to be logical,
The Hash family is also an old tree in Kyoto, and when they noticed the murderous intent of the emperor, the Hash family was also frightened, and they went around in tandem, preparing to make a palace gate to kneel down and ask for guilt the next day, and immediately sent someone to express to the emperor that they were willing to take out two-thirds of the property as a ransom, and the Hash family accumulated for several generations, two-thirds, it was already nearly 10 million numbers, how could it be enough,
The Imperial Moth, who has enjoyed the blessings of the Empire for several generations, must always have a little heart to repay the favor!" Emperor Soladin flicked his sleeves up, murderous whispers, let the imperial palace rise a cold wind, blowing a house full of candles crackling sparks, that scene, after so many years, Hayla still has an impression, the Hash family still underestimated the determination of Emperor Soladin, two-thirds of the property, it is indeed enough to appease, but unfortunately the emperor wants the rise of the Istanbul Empire, under the ruthless appearance, it is the humiliation of being under the army of the western countries to the city deeply remembered, the Hash family has been in this position for too long, and there are naturally not a few people who have offended,
Whether it is the emperor who is anxiously waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, or other wealthy families who have already been red-eyed, they will not let this butcher knife that has been raised gently put down.
At three o'clock that night, Hayera, who had been ordered by Soladin I, had already led his troops to cut off all the roads of the Hash family, and a large number of archers climbed the outer wall, raised their bows, and shot when they saw people, and the people below were surging, and the siege heavy shield soldiers smashed open the door of the mansion with iron-clad wood, and after rushing in, the spears stabbed people when they saw people, and in less than an hour, all the men, women, and children of the Hash clan, went up to Hash Luou, who had been in office for twenty-one years, and died with bulging eyes, and went down to the three cooks in the kitchen of the Hash family and the six geese they raised, up and down to more than 1,100 geese, and all of them were wiped out overnight, When the soldiers sent arrived, they would have long since disappeared, and for so many years, Hayela didn't care much, but he was just an inconsequential bastard, as long as the emperor was there, what kind of storm could he make
But the fact is that the emperor is suddenly gone, and the Hash family, which has been suppressed for twenty years, has emerged again, and I have to admit that this kind of hundreds of years of wealthy family is really a hundred-legged insect that dies but does not stiffen, and any spring breeze and drizzle can immediately sprout and sprout, and there are many people who are willing to help. Not long ago, in the battle against the rebels of Resabachi, the new generation of famous generals of the Empire of Iraq, Hashluwu, who had risen rapidly by defeating the rebel attacks several times, was one of the people who escaped that year. has become the most relied on military commander under His Royal Highness the Second Prince by virtue of his excellent command ability.
It is said that the second prince has already released a rumor that he wants to let this twenty-four-year-old Hashluwu enter the Imperial Ministry and become the youngest Imperial Minister since the Istanbul Empire. When the remnant of the Hash family pulls out of the current predicament, Istanbul will be the first to deal with it. It's yourself,
"Truth be told, Lord Doge, Your Excellency has shed your blood for Soladin I. The final result is that both the emperor and the ministers want your Excellency to die! Have you ever thought about why?" Francilar's words made Hajera's dejected face stunned for a moment, yes, what is going on? I really haven't seriously thought about this problem, logically speaking, I definitely have merit to Emperor Soladin, and I have no merit and hard work for the expansion of the empire. Twenty years, can't you change the ethnic views of others, and you still work for the Iranian Empire like this? Is it really worth it?
"Because the Governor is a native of the Northwest Wilderness! This is something that cannot be changed no matter how hard you try!" Francillar is quite clear about the grievances between the Empire of Istanbul and the Northwest Wilderness, the War of Conquest thirty years ago, the Empire of Istanbul was victorious, but the price was also heavy, and the people of the Northwest Wilderness were fierce. The rebellion never ended, and more than 100,000 soldiers died in the Northwest Wilderness before and after the Iranian Empire. In the face of such an unbreakable and unbroken Northwest Wilderness, the hatred of the Northwest Wilderness from the top of the empire to the common people can be imagined!
"Emperor Soladin is eloquent, twenty years ago, in order to ascend the throne, he had to be ruthless, and there were no taboos, but with the increasingly stable rule, in twenty years, the imperial strength faintly showed signs of surpassing the monarchs of previous dynasties, and even directly hit the Gangfei Empire on the west coast, shaking the entire Obarro, such a feat, how could he tolerate leaving Your Excellency a wilderness man to discredit?" Francillal's gaze swept over Hayera's face that was completely silent,
"Is that really the case? No matter what you do, you will be wiped out because of your origin!"
Hayela's body trembled slightly, and a wave of anger churned in his heart, his five fingers were clenched together, and his fingertips came from a heart-piercing pain in the palm of his hand, he knew that what Francillar said was right, that from relying on counterattacks to kill the upper position, kill his brother, and after mastering the imperial power, he showed a ruthless emperor like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and he almost uprooted the forces of his former political enemies, and treated his own people with the same ruthlessness,
It's like a hardcore supporter like the Hash family, who just sensed the need and said he would clean it up, and as a hardcore confidant of Emperor Soladin, once he realized that it was possible to discredit his merits, he immediately stripped himself of military power from the front-line army commander, and shelved it to this enemy law that could die at any time, completely ignoring his important role in the battle of Gangfei, he knew too many secrets of the emperor, and the emperor was still alive, but Soladin I's body already showed signs, and before the emperor died, the first person to be executed should be himselfHayela's heart is full of sadness, twenty years of war and killing, but in the end there is no place for him!
"Okay, I can submit to the Falcon Empire, but I need to know, what can the Falcon Empire give me?"
"The Governor is a native of the Northwest Wilderness, so you should know that the recent situation in the Northwest Wilderness is very bad, the border guards of the Istanbul Empire have been encircling and suppressing the Northwest Wilderness, and the Northwest Wilderness people have gone from three million thirty years ago to less than one million now, if it is another twenty years, I am afraid that even the last tribe will be gone."
Francillar's gaze paused on Hayera's resolute face, and he said slowly, "Then I don't know if Your Excellency the Governor thinks that if the Falcon Empire is willing to support the Governor to establish a province dominated by the Northwest Wilderness in the Eastern Province, this is not enough sincerity!"
"Establish a province of the Northwest Wilderness in the Eastern Province!
Hayela raised his head suddenly, his eyes were shining, his lips were dry, and even some of his voices trembled, which showed the excitement in his heart, as he got older and older, when the curiosity about the outside world in his bones was being exhausted, in his midnight dream, he didn't know how many times he had returned to the vast wilderness that had raised him, standing on the almost vast loess land, holding the yellow sand floating in the wind, only at that moment, he could feel the destination of the soul, the man of the wilderness, the soul of the wilderness, was still in his body, this is something that no identity can eliminate, it is engraved in the bones,
But as an important minister of the Istan Emperor, such thoughts and intentions, after sobering up, cannot be revealed in front of others at all, and who knows the bitterness!
"The Falcon Empire is not the Istanbul Empire! The land conquered by the Falcon Empire, no matter what race it is, is treated the same!"
Francillal's expression was firm, and he said word by word, "And I can honestly say that this is the meaning of His Majesty the Falcon, the empire has one more province, and the adults can save their own people, isn't it very good? As for the distance from the Northwest Wilderness to the Eastern Province for hundreds of miles, it is not a problem for the Empire, don't forget, along the sea area of the Eastern Province, the Imperial ship group can reach the Northwest Wilderness side, don't forget, the sea belongs to the Empire, and the sea is the passage of the Empire!"
