After announcing that he was leaving Moscow and explaining everyone's responsibilities, Rostislav looked at the empty audience room and breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Rostislav was subconsciously playing with the statue of the Virgin hanging on his chest. An hour had passed since everything ended, but Rostislav was still sitting here, thinking and recalling.
What the Prince of Moscow was thinking about was very simple, and that was the causes and consequences of the situation developing to this point.
First of all, Rostislav did not expect that the situation in Hungary would develop so quickly and clearly.
The Prince of Moscow originally thought that under the intervention of Poland and Germany, the chaos in the Magyar Kingdom would last for several years, but he did not expect that King Andrew and Duke Bela actually fought face to face on the battlefield. In the end, King Andrew was killed by the Duke.
Kill and win.
Edward's letters to Rostislav described in detail the brutality of the battle,
Both the king and the duke tried their best to take off each other's head, and the armies of both sides fought hard on the battlefield because of the lord's fighting spirit.
Even the farmers and citizens who were supposed to be fishing on the battlefield were infected by this atmosphere, and they all fought each other like enemies. In the end, the Duke won and the King was beheaded.
Now Bela has declared that he is the undoubted King of Hungary, and the key is that few people can question his statement. After all, he is now the eldest member of the Arpad family. In comparison, King Solomon (
Andrew's son) is just a doll.
Edward's letter mentioned that many of the remnants of the king's army he gathered were shaken and left the king's son to seek refuge with Bella, who claimed to be the king. He also said that Bella was sending orders to the whole country, asking all places to recognize his identity as king.
.
Looking at the letter, Rostislav couldn't help but think about how long he could last on such a battlefield. That was really cruel.
As for the political situation in Hungary, it is inevitable that it will develop like this. After the older generation fights, the descendants of the losers will have to face ruthless trials, while the descendants of the winners will continue to be under the protection of their parents and can always leave.
The day of wings.
And if there was only this letter, Rostislav would have finished reading it. At most, he would lament the cruelty of the killings and the changes in the political situation in Hungary.
But not long after he received this letter, a letter arrived from his uncle, Ijaslav Yaroslavich, which made it necessary for Rostislav to go to the south.
In this letter, the uncle expressed his willingness to intervene in the situation in Hungary, but they were not going to start a war, but to mediate.
There is no doubt that Yaroslav's descendants have this qualification. Both Poland and Hungary have one kind of marriage connection with the wise man's descendants, and they are all connections within three generations. It is these connections that make their mediation accessible to everyone.
accept.
The uncle talked a lot in the letter. He seemed to intend to use Hungary as a step for Russia to perform on the international stage, the first step for Russia in the post-Yaroslav era to express itself nationally.
Therefore, all the descendants of Yaroslav must come together to show the unity of the descendants of Yaroslav, or the unity of Rus.
Therefore, Rostislav was asked to attend. This time, the uncle rarely used the tone of command. This was an order issued in the name of the Grand Duke of Kiev. The strong political meaning of it is self-evident.
Rostislav has no complaints about this. This is part of his obligation, and since his uncle has helped him so much, it is natural for him to repay him.
Moreover, from the uncle's few words, the prince of Moscow realized that this intervention in Hungary seemed to have something to do with the patriarch of the imperial capital. The uncle seemed to have made some kind of deal with the patriarch, so he broke into this mess so enthusiastically.
middle.
Rostislav has no opinion on his uncle's involvement in this mess. Now Rostislav does have the ability to make his own voice and show his strength on the international stage.
The uncle's letter said that he had sent letters to the imperial monarch, the King of Poland and the Duke of Beira, requesting the four parties to hold a summit of monarchs to peacefully resolve the Hungarian issue, or to be more precise, how the Hungarian cake should be divided.
After all, all four parties have vital interests here.
Rostislav, on the other hand, regarded this intervention as an opportunity to interact with foreign dignitaries. He should also get to know some royal families and dignitaries in the west, so that he could use these connections when meeting in the future.
At the same time, it is also time to meet his relatives, his uncles and nephews, who are all the protagonists of Russia's political stage now and in the future.
There is also the third generation, among which there are many talented people. They are all the future heroes of Russia. As the eldest of the third generation of Yaroslav, he naturally wants to meet these cousins.
This is why Rostislav convened a meeting in such a hurry to hand over various matters in Northeastern Russia to his subordinates. Going to Kiev was already an established schedule, so he had to arrange things early.
Everyone was a little surprised by the prince's departure, but they quickly recovered from their unexpected attitude.
Based on the current situation in Northeastern Rus, it is not a big deal for the prince to leave. Although there are some wars in the countryside of Northeastern Rus, this is normal. This land is stable and peaceful after all.
After all, it is not a big deal if a few or dozens of people die in one day. This is what happens every day in this land.
Therefore, even if the prince leaves, it will not have much impact. Everyone can continue to carry out everything according to the established plan. The prince's absence will not affect these.
Moreover, the prince's trip to the south is likely to bring back a lot of resources. This is what everyone hopes to see most. The land of Northeastern Rus still needs resources and manpower everywhere. There are gaps everywhere, and there are so many gaps.
The head is big.
As for the power of overseeing the regency, he naturally handed it over to his wife. With long-term assistance and influence, his wife was as familiar with Moscow government affairs as Rostislav.
Somehow, I originally planned to let Zoe take good care of the fetus, but there was no way.
Long before publicly announcing his departure, the Moscow prince had discussed going to the south with his wife.
At that time, his wife was a little dissatisfied because Rostislav did not take her and her son with him, and Rostislav was helpless. How could he take his pregnant wife to Kiev? It would be easy for Zoe to get into trouble on the way to Kiev, so he might as well just stay there
In Moscow, at least it has the most professional medical team in Russia.
There is no objection to going to Kiev Rostislav. It has been so many years since I left Kiev, and now it is time to go back to the mother of cities to have a good look, and by the way, bring back some immigrants.
Although the development momentum of Northeastern Rus's is upward, immigrants are still needed. Rostislav plans to bring some immigrants who have succeeded in Northeastern Rus's back to Kiev. After all, nothing can promote more than actual examples.
However, there are still some things that he is very worried about about Northeastern Russia, and that is the report that Yang just made.
Jan was the last one to leave the hall, and he took this opportunity of solitude to tell the prince everything he had learned in the countryside.
And the Queen of Moscow thinks the same as her little brother, so this is completely unreasonable.
This made Rostislav a little uneasy, but in the end he put it aside for the time being. Now there was this more important matter. As for Young's request to continue the investigation, he had to refuse, and Rostislav had to take Young back to Kiev.
.
The reason why the prince dared to do this was mainly because he knew the rural situation in Northeastern Rus. Let them connect in series. Anyway, they would not be able to set off an uprising sweeping this land for decades, and the situation in the countryside was
It will inevitably be repeated countless times during this period.
Thinking like this, the Prince of Moscow exited the audience room. There were still many things to come, and he had to deal with them one by one. Only after handling all these things could he leave Northeastern Rus with peace of mind.
