Chapter 305 The King of Wisdom(1/2)
"I thought you had some special military intelligence early in the morning... So let's do it..."
Ulric obviously didn't care about Sir Ors. He waved and prepared to go downstairs, as if he was in a hurry to eat.
"Your Majesty! There is one more thing..."
Li Ang shook his head, with a troubled expression on his face: "Malbert has betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy... So I want to ask, is the king's order he brought before true? I'm worried that it was a false edict from him.
make……"
With that said, Li Ang took out the scroll and looked at the maid behind Princess Anna.
"Everyone get out...close the door."
Princess Anna very wisely asked all the maids to leave.
"I did issue this order. But...Leon, tell me the truth, did Malbert really commit treason because of that Bacchus woman? I heard that he planned to assassinate you?"
Ulric obviously has no feelings for Malbert. Judging from his meaning, he doesn't seem to care whether Malbert is treason...
"Your Majesty, when he was still your designated future son-in-law, he proposed marriage to Governor Justus of the Bacchus Empire. The bride price was the spoils from Dexia that he snatched from my subordinates——
These are the ones originally intended for you."
Li Ang sighed: "Besides, I asked Sarah to send you news... The Kingdom of Crows is sending troops towards Eagle Claw Fort, and I'm afraid you have seen the troops of the Bacchus Empire, right? What if I really bring an army with me?"
After going to Fox Town, White Deer Fort and Eagle Claw Fort will definitely surrender to the enemy - the Bacchus Empire and Raven Kingdom will not give up such an opportunity! The hinterland of the kingdom will be directly exposed in front of the enemy!"
"He went to the Sava River Fort. He planned to capture Malbote with his own hands to prove his loyalty to the kingdom."
"Your Excellency Li Ang, I don't understand..."
And now Ulric is a father himself...
Ulric probably remembered the way Leon had a bruised nose and face, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
There were quite a lot of people in the tavern at noon. In fact, several Scorpio assassins were also here, but they were not conspicuous among the crowd. Many people in the tavern were dressed similar to them. The first element of being an assassin is to blend in with the crowd.
Must be inconspicuous.
At the same time, Lehman was ordered to lead troops to set up an ambush south of Qicha Fortress, waiting for an opportunity to ambush the Bacchus if any enemy would attack.
Ulric reached for the scroll and waved his hand: "That's it."
"Your Majesty, no matter what the reason is, before our child is born, at least don't let the hinterland of the kingdom fall into civil war. It can also be considered as a blessing for the child... Whether it is rebellion or heresy, there is no need to rush. You are in strong health now.
It’s still a long time.”
Ulric sat down and thought about it carefully, but he did not reject it outright: "What if they pretended to obey the order, but launched a rebellion after returning to the territory?"
Li Ang once again added a reason - since Marbert surrendered to the enemy, the Bacchus people would definitely know from Marbert that Li Ang was "ordered to rebel", and the Bacchus Empire would most likely take the opportunity to attack. And if an ambush was set up at this time
, it is very possible to ambush the enemy.
If we consider the principle of monarch and minister, it is treason.
At this time, Princess Anna suddenly persuaded: "Your Majesty, Master Li Ang is right, the kingdom cannot initiate a civil war at this time. You can ask Master Li Ang to bring Lord Andrew, the son of Baron Godric, back to Lion City for detention, and let the Royal City
The two commanders of the guards will supervise Baron Godric and Miss Amy respectively - this will not only show your fairness but also avoid any trouble."
It is definitely true that Godric attacked the Lion Knights, but if you really want to break it down, it may not be considered treason - it all depends on what the king thinks.
It is estimated that she wanted to solve the historical problem of Anna's father.
As he spoke, he pushed the scroll in Ulric's direction: "In other words, the Bacchus Empire may still think that I went to Fox Town. Therefore, you can send your troops to the vicinity of Sava River Fort.
An ambush will surely ambush the enemy successfully, and maybe we can eliminate the real traitor in Marbert..."
In fact, this is a psychological suggestion. Li Ang is guiding Godric's affairs from 'king and subject' to 'father and daughter'.
Li Ang held the scroll in both hands and bowed slightly, with a rather regretful expression on his face.
Fairness, wisdom, big heart...and...children.
But if you are considering it as a father, it is probably excusable...
"Huh...will he believe it?"
The king did understand what Li Ang meant. He hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "But his daughter was accused of heresy..."
Li Ang expressed his refusal directly.
With Princess Anna's help, Ulrike seemed a little moved, but still seemed hesitant.
At noon, after Li Ang left the throne room, he went to another familiar place - the Adventurer Hotel.
"Your Majesty... do you really believe in such claims as heresy?"
Circe was sitting in the corner of the tavern, exactly where Sarah had been.
"In this case, then what Malbert passed down was a false order, and your Majesty's sharp eyes saw through the traitor's plot. The whole continent will praise your wisdom and mind... I will wait for you in the throne room. Your Majesty, Madam."
It was the shabby hotel where I met Sarah.
A few hours later, King Ulric publicly issued a new king's order in the throne room, asking Leon to go to Fox Town to deliver orders to Godric - ordering Godric to expel the invaders from the Crow Kingdom and ordering Amy to resist them.
The Bacchus who attacked White Deer Castle were supervised by the chief and deputy commanders of the Royal City Guards.
Li Ang put the scroll on the table, took a step back, and pointed to his nose: "You were watching from the side..."
Ulric did not reach out to take it, but looked at Leon expressionlessly.
Circe nodded and asked again: "In addition to rescuing your friends, is it possible for us to cooperate in other ways?"
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because I have a grudge against Baron Godric that I cannot attack him... I think you also got the information about Fox Town. He led the troops to attack in order to protect his daughter.
The Knights of the Lion..."
"Well, that's a pity... Then, leave Anna's father to us, and we won't interfere with your business... You should know that the chief and deputy commanders of the Royal City Guards are all followers of Anna..."
Because of this, Li Ang felt confident and bold to frame Malbote, since the king would not pursue it carefully at all.
He has already seen that this Circe has very indifferent emotions, neither getting angry nor being controlled by emotions, more like some older Noldor elves.
"Then, can I interpret this as you showing your favor to us?"
Moreover, this was also for him to return the king's order - Li Ang handed the exquisite scroll back to Ulric at this time.
"Your Majesty, you really should go to the throne room and give the order publicly..."
"Your Majesty, if that's the case, it would be inappropriate for me to attack Baron Godric now... You shouldn't have issued this order. I suggest you withdraw the royal order."
Li Ang once again showed a worried look: "You should know that when he slapped me in the face, it was also to protect his daughter. Your Majesty, you ask me to attack him at this time. This is... very detrimental to your reputation. "
Moreover, he does feel that his health is getting better now, and it may indeed take a long time.
Obviously, this is actually Anna, the prophet, asking Li Ang - is this the result you want?
"Your Majesty, you know that I had a problem with Baron Godric - he slapped me in the face and insulted me in public. Many people know this."
While talking, Li Ang also looked at Princess Anna's belly.
Ulric nodded, looked at Leon and smiled: "Do you want to ask Brennus?"
"...Ms. Circe, it's not that I want to offend you... To be honest, I don't know what kind of creatures you are - I'm not even sure if you are human. Do you understand what I mean? For my friends, I am willing Cooperate with ghosts, but if it’s for other reasons, I wouldn’t dare to deal with you.”
This means that the king can choose whether he wants an easy victory or whether he wants the country to fall after a civil war...
"You can ask the Royal Guards to supervise this matter..."
As a father, it is natural to protect his daughter. Even if he commits treason for this, most people will only sympathize with him and not be hostile.
To be honest, Malbert's 'defection' is actually a good thing for Ulric...
These are all things Ulric longed for but could never get.
The more Li Ang spoke, the more excited he became: "The eastern and northern parts of the kingdom may fall completely because of this... And when the country fell, we were still launching a civil war to punish a father who made mistakes to protect his daughter?!"
Princess Anna took over the topic with a smile on her face: "Since what Marbert passed to Lord Leon is a false order, you must publicly correct it. Otherwise, how can people know your wisdom and kindness?"
Princess Anna persuaded again, looking gentle and kind.
"Isn't that more appropriate? He has insulted you, so you should kill him...it's fair!"
Li Ang nodded: "Yes... Where is Duke Brennus now? Fox Town? I'm not sure if he will become an enemy..."
Li Ang directly helped Ulric find a suitable excuse, then saluted the two of them and planned to exit.
Anna's last reason finally convinced Ulric - for the sake of the children, not to let the war affect the hinterland of the kingdom.
To such a guy, it would be more appropriate to speak directly.
"...let me think about it..."
Li Ang spoke the truth very frankly: "I can swear to the goddess Eunomia that this is all true."
Li Ang sneered: "As a person who has only joined the Lion Kingdom for two years, am I more trustworthy than a lady who sleeps with the king? I don't plan to die young..."
Anna, the prophetess, is really good at talking. Although she doesn't speak much, she uses Leon's words to speak directly to Ulric's heart, and every sentence is for the king's consideration.
You can't do this even to your enemies. There is no difference between insulting someone in public and killing someone in public. Either way, it will lead to a feud.
The concerns expressed by Li Ang were to remind the king that a father who made a mistake to protect his daughter would have gained people's sympathy. It would be really inappropriate to let a person who has a grudge against him attack him.
—What would those who sympathize with Godric think of the king?
