Chapter 6 Reason
"It seems you still don't understand the reason!" The slightly drunk middle-aged man stood up with a greasy belly and laughed. While saying Fest, he raised a finger and said, "Sometimes, for some benefit, the biological brother stabbed him more ruthlessly and accurately than others. What's more, the conflict between us has been buried long ago. It's just that the death of His Majesty Karoyan made the intensification of the conflict advance. Alas, I only wanted to pass through my lifetime like this, but I still couldn't escape it. It was really unlucky."
The man complained, but his words made Justinian see that although the Baron Fister was very mediocre and incompetent as a lord, he was obviously very good at seeing things and did not lose some ordinary intelligence. Unfortunately, as a nobleman, such a philosopher was of no use in the face of real chaos. Speaking of this, he saw that Baron Fister, who was slightly drunk, had a little pride on his face.
But Justinian said lightly at this time: "So is it still a dispute between the nobles of the north and the south? Then what Grand Duke Borier should support the Palatonon faction that tends to be Romanized, while Grand Duke Ivan chose the opposite Sermium faction. I'm right?"
Justinian said a few words to the root of the civil war, and after hearing this, Fister looked stunned and came back to his senses for a long time.
"You...you...don't you know everything about yourself? Then what did you ask me just now!" Fist, who was a little embarrassed, thought that this was when he was very attentive in front of Justinian, but he didn't expect that what he wanted to say next had been dropped by Justinian, which was a shame. But he couldn't help but feel curious. These things shouldn't be what this young man who came to Bulgaria for the first time should know!
Seeing the doubts in the other party's heart, Justinian smiled lightly. "I just inferred from what you said just now."
"Just from what I said..." Fist was confused.
But the young man in front of him fiddled with the silver wine glass on the table and talked: "In fact, it is not difficult to know these things. Since Bashir II conquered Bulgaria and divided it until Bulgaria regained independence decades ago, the middle was self-evident. It is precisely because of this that the dispute between the north and the south of Bulgaria has been in the restored cultural system in the north, while Palatonnaun in the south has been a long time ago. Naturally, he is unwilling to restore any old customs, so he continues to fight with each other. Even a talented and powerful person like Tsar Karoyan, he can only barely suppress it, but he cannot stop his two heirs from winning over the two factions of forces and invisibly tearing the cohesion of the entire Bulgaria. What you said about the dispute over interests is these!"
"So that's it." Seeing that Justinian's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, Fister still had something in his mind and said, "But how do you know that His Highness Borier was supported by the Paratonaion faction?"
"This is easier. Since Baron Fist, you choose to support Borill, if Grand Duke Borill was on the side of the Sermium Side, it would be hard for me to imagine that you would dare to use these things with your identity." Justinian replied calmly, stroking the Byzantine-style patterns on the silver wine glass. He used this to infer what he said just now, because if Fist in front of him was a Sermium Side, he would definitely not use such instruments, otherwise he, a little baron, would not be able to bear the consequences at all.
"It's really worthy of you, it's really amazing." Seeing that Justinian's analysis was sober, Fist, who woke up suddenly, was even more awe of Justinian, and was also thinking about how to make friends and please this big man. Since he was so close to Mr. Borier, if he had the chance, he might be able to rise to the top and not have to continue to be a little noble all day long.
"So what's the situation now? I'm afraid the two sides have fought for the three-month civil war, right?" Justinian asked again, wanting to get more information from Baron Fest.
But the man on the opposite side shook his head and said, "The friction between small nobles like us is twice a day, but there has not been a real fight between Grand Duke Ivan and Grand Duke Borier. The noble army of the two sides has been confronting the front line for so long, and has not made any major moves so far. As for the situation on the front line, I don't know what the situation is like." Nobles of his level cannot participate in the noble alliance, and he is not even cannon fodder in important battles, so he does not know the situation of the two nobles now. He only knows that the great nobles are always negotiating and delaying their troops to conquer, but they are the little nobles fighting each other. It's really ironic.
"Is this what..."
Justinian was a little regretful when he heard Fist say this, but he didn't expect too much. However, with his understanding of the two Assen Dukes, Ivan, who is more meticulous, will have a little advantage. Since he has done such a thing, it will be easy to deal with the courageous and unscrupulous Borier Assen. However, Justinian felt that someone should have secretly advised him, otherwise sending his own guard to assist in the war in Thessalonika that day was not the style of the reckless grand duke. So, in the short term, this civil war in Bulgaria would not end so easily, and this will also provide him with the opportunity to take advantage of the troubled waters.
It should be noted that Bulgaria has always been a sword of Damocles hanging above the head of the Roman Empire. If Tsar Karoyan welcomes another hero, it will undoubtedly be the last straw to crush the thin camel of the Byzantine Empire, so no matter what, as long as he is in Ivan Asen, you can't pick the crown of Bulgaria!
