Chapter 424 Ideal Collaborator (Happy Dragon Boat Festival!)
Tiandou Empire, Tiandou City.
After the proceedings in the main hall were over, many noble ministers wearing official robes were divided into different groups and walked out of the main hall one by one.
Among the many teams, a group of people behind An Guogong, who was dressed in luxurious robes, followed him step by step and walked towards the outside of the palace.
As one of the only dukes in the Tiandou Empire, An Guogong's status is extremely noble, and he is even allowed to go to court without wearing official robes and uniforms under the imperial authority.
The group of people following An Guogong are naturally the aristocratic group with him as the core. In addition to the dozen or so princes who gathered at the beginning, several more people have come in one after another over time. Currently, An Guogong’s
The Constituent Assembly faction already has a main force of about twenty people, and each of them has the status of count or above.
The Constitution Party is the name given by An Guogong to the collective group of his people, which means that what they pursue is the constitutional monarchy. Although the number of people is not particularly large on the surface, each one has the power to participate in the hall.
People who discuss politics have more or less subordinates under their command.
Even though the influence of many nobles and ministers had been hit due to Xue Qinghe's transfer measures, due to the intertwined exchanges of the past dynasties, even if they were moved, they were still able to assemble a team belonging to them.
So in fact, the power actually held by these people in the Constitution Party has even reached the point where they can faintly challenge Xue Ye, on the premise that Xue Ye controls the Royal Forbidden Army.
Everyone separated at the entrance of the palace and took their own carriages back to their respective mansions. Some people also had to prepare for the upcoming mission.
After An Guogong's carriage entered the Duke's Mansion, a man in a cloak quietly entered the Duke's Mansion from the side door.
Under the guidance of the servants of the mansion, the cloaked man walked into a side room of the Duke's mansion and waited peacefully there.
Not long after, the door opened and An Guogong walked in from outside.
After noticing this, the people in the room immediately lifted their cloaks, revealing their bearded faces.
"I will give you a task. You must arrange it carefully and not let other unrelated people know about it. The fewer people know about it, the better."
Duke An Guo looked at his beard and spoke in a heavy tone.
"The general has an order. As long as it is the Duke's request, we will do our best." The man half-knelt on the ground, clasped his hands in a military salute, and bowed his head.
"The empire is expected to launch a counterattack against Star Luo in half a month, which will at least temporarily block Star Luo's offensive back to Barak. Your third legion will serve as the center line of the battlefield together with the Cold Blood Army and the Royal Army of the Duke of Barak.
The main forward force, interspersed with the Xingluo army."
"I want you to act accordingly when the time comes and try to keep the Cold Blood Army and the Royal Army of Duke Barak on that battlefield."
Even though the general had ordered the man to obey the Duke's arrangements, when he heard Duke An's order, the man still couldn't help but frown and hesitate:
"My lord... this..."
"Huh?" An Guogong raised his slightly lowered eyes and made a nasal sound. And this simple tone made the man lower his head again:
"Yes, I will inform the general of this matter."
Seeing this, Duke An Guo said nothing more, and turned his back to the man: "Now that you understand, then you can leave."
"Remember to be the same as when you came here, and don't be discovered by others. Otherwise, you will know the consequences of soldiers entering the imperial city without permission, and I may not be able to protect you by then."
"I understand my humble position." The man hugged his hands again, then faced An Guogong and slowly exited the room.
And until the man left, An Guogong did not turn around and leave the side room, but stood in it, with a faint light shining in his eyes like an abyss with no bottom.
Xue Ye no longer has a prince, and it is still unknown who the next Emperor Tiandou will be.
Rather than just watching and following the trend, An Guogong prefers to stir up the waves himself and become the one who adds fuel to the flames.
In Tiandou, there are many people with royal blood, but not so many of them have real royal status, and even fewer "collaborators" with brains among them.
Although Kundera is not a member of Tiandou Central, he is also a bloodline of Tiandou royal family, and the father and son can be regarded as smart people.
As the man who stands at the pinnacle of power in the fight against heaven, An Guogong can naturally understand Kundera's thoughts after the deaths of Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng.
As the king of Balak, when the principality was in trouble, he did not want to go back to save his property, but stayed in the imperial city. Kundera's thoughts were not so difficult to guess.
An Guogong generally understood Kundera's ambitions. He felt that maybe they could have some cooperation and use the power that he alone controlled to cooperate with Kundera's bloodline.
But definitely not now.
Because although the current Principality of Barak exists in name only, the Hanxue Army and the Royal Army, which are the most powerful, have been largely preserved.
An Guogong's ideal collaborator is a suitable swan who can put a rope around his neck, not a sharp-toothed beast.
Therefore, before proposing cooperation, he still needs to cut off Kundera's claws and teeth.
Even if you have to pay some price for it.
But it's all worth it, for the future.
Duke An Guo waved his sleeves, exhaled a breath of turbid air the moment he turned around, and left the side room of the mansion.
…
Less than half a month later, Wuhun City, Pope's Palace.
"Teacher, Dai Mingyuan of the Star Luo Empire sent someone to deliver a letter."
Hu Liena walked into the office, holding a gold-rimmed letter in her hand, and reported to Bibi Dong, who was sitting at her desk and reviewing all the information.
"Well, what did you say?"
Bibi Dong put down a lot of information about the internal affairs of the Barak Principality, picked up the information about the Star Luo Empire, and continued to read it. She did not raise her head to look at her students from beginning to end, and asked in a casual tone.
"Emperor Xingluo asked. Fan Yun entered Xingluo as a close friend of Xue Qinghe. Now he is close to Gengjin City, but Wuhun Palace has not yet submitted an official document to Xingluo."
"With Fan Yun's strength, such a move is already a threat to Xing Luo. If Fan Yun insists on advancing again, Xing Luo will send troops to stop it, and there will be no room for negotiation."
"He wants to know our Wuhun Palace's attitude towards this."
Hu Liena handed the letter in her hand to the teacher's desk and roughly repeated what Emperor Xingluo meant.
Bibi Dong paused while flipping through the information, as if thinking, then glanced at Hu Liena and said:
"You will write back later and tell Dai Mingyuan that what Fan Yun did this time only represents his personal actions and has nothing to do with Wuhun Palace. Wuhun Palace does not want to intervene in the war between the two countries."
Hu Liena: “…”
“…students understand.”
Suppressing the uneasiness and throbbing in her heart, Hu Liena knew what she should do at this time.
I hope Fan Yun will be able to achieve his goal plan as he said.
Hu Liena sighed inwardly and continued:
"Teacher, Tiandou's delegation will arrive at Wuhun City this afternoon."
