After so many things happened in this short period of time, when the Prince of Moscow woke up, he suddenly realized that the meeting was over and the negotiation was completed in just one sleep. This was too fast.
And when Young and Meshko saw Rostislav who was stunned after hearing the news, they didn't know what to say. Is this reaction too big?
Although they knew that the princes and princes spent too much energy fighting on the battlefield, they didn't think they were still suffering from low spirits at this time.
After things calmed down, the Prince of Moscow felt that this was fine. Rostislav did not expect that this chaos would actually resolve the stalemate between the various parties in Fekhshvar, so they did not need to waste time here.
Rostislav did not want to stay here for a long time. The wars and chaos he had experienced told him that there would be chaos in the Magyar Kingdom next, and Rostislav did not want to get involved.
If he were the Grand Duke of all Rus, then there would be some benefits to intervening in these matters, but now he is just the prince of Northeast Rus, and those things he did were just subconscious and intuitive actions of a political animal.
The Prince of Moscow next asked about the state of the city, and Jan told Rostislav that calm had returned to Fekhshvar, that the streets were filled with soldiers and that the citizens had resumed their activities.
The corpses and torture outside the city show that everything is not peaceful yet, and the burned cathedral has been silently explaining what happened here.
This also shows that the anger of the Arpad family is brewing. King Bella will not make those pagans who have made him lose so much face happy. What will follow is a large-scale purge.
During this time, King Bela was mobilizing state governors from all over the country to lead troops. He wanted to carry out a thorough attack on the heretics, and a large-scale civil war was just around the corner.
In addition, the king also ransacked his house every day, seizing wealth from some Magyar dignitaries on the charge of "colluding with the heretics".
It seems that Rostislav is completely making excuses for this matter. He is using this reason to get rid of some guys who are close to Andrew but cannot deal with it directly.
As for the others who were dealt with, they were basically wealthy businessmen. No matter what nationality you were, if the king needed money now, you would have to be stripped of your skin.
For example, if the Jews were robbed, it would be a mercy not to take your lives.
As for other businessmen, do feudal lords need a reason to steal your money? If they make up a reason to steal your money, it is to give you face. We have no problem with the robbery, so why don't you hurry up and send the money?
As for not giving it? If you don’t give it, you will be killed directly and your family will be wiped out.
This made Rostislav look at it with great interest. It was very rare to see such a scene in Russia, and he couldn't help but imagine when he could deal with the businessmen in Russia like this.
It's a pity that this is a dream after all. In Russia, the three identities of powerful people, feudal lords, and merchants often overlap. This can be done in Hungary, but not in Russia...
And tired of seeing all this, Rostislav didn't want to stay here, he wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
Regarding Rostislav's intention to leave, the uncles who came to visit also expressed the same opinion.
There was also a sense of liberation in their words. Although they took the initiative to wade into this muddy water, they were not willing to spend too long on unimportant matters.
It is indeed profitable to intervene in Hungary's internal forces, but not now. It is better to leave the land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
After all, Hungary's affairs are over, and the international reputation they want to gain has been gained, so there is no need to stay in this land anymore, and they should return to their Rus now.
In addition, the uncle and the third uncle also expressed their gratitude to Rostislav for all he had done for everyone, and said that they would send a thank you gift after returning to Rostislav.
Of course, the second uncle also made a gesture of giving gifts.
The uncle was a little pity that their sisters said that they would not follow them back to Rus, but chose to live in the court of the Duke of Bohemia. The Bohemian heir who had been defended by King Andrew said that he would take Andrew in.
Wife and children, in repayment of His Majesty King Andrew's kindness.
However, everyone said that this was excusable. After the Bohemian heir became the Duke, he would definitely help Andrew's wife and children.
Moreover, Bohemia is too close to Hungary, so intervention in Hungarian political affairs does not need to be restricted by mountains or seasons, and troops can be sent at any time.
And this is also the intention of the empire. If there is a change in Hungary, the Duke of Bohemia will immediately lead the imperial army into Hungary to support the new king.
Because of this, Aunt Anastasia was the first to leave Fechshvar. She was not willing to stay for a second in the city where her husband's enemy had been killed, and the imperial army also left with them.
Before leaving, the aunt only gave Rostislav some exquisite jewelry as a thank-you gift for saving them. Rostislav could tell at a glance that these items were Hungarian royal jewelry. They were indeed very precious things, and many of them could even be traced back.
to the time of Saint Stephen.
However, the amount is really better than nothing, but Rostislav also understands that my aunt has to support so many people with no income, so naturally she can only use money.
As for the bishop of the empire, he gave Rostislav a bunch of exquisite Bibles, which made Rostislav a little speechless. These things are valuable, but why did you give so many...
But considering that after the riot in Fechsvar, the bishop angrily complained that King Béla was lax in his governance and that the Hungarian church was a waste. He then cursed all the previous kings of Hungary and even read A
Old accounts of the Parde family's raids on churches and monasteries when they were still pagans.
This made everyone very embarrassed. Except for the people from the Empire, whose ancestors were not such barbarians.
Of course, the Hungarian church couldn't hear it, because they were directly strung up on top of the church by those pagans, and then burned to ashes together with the flames that burned the church.
In addition, the series of performances of the empire made Rostislav very concerned. It seems that the empire's ambition for Hungary is still very strong. Presumably the empire will intervene very enthusiastically in the next Hungarian civil war.
Edward bid farewell to his wife and took his men back to Rostislav's command. After all, his mission was considered completed, so he should also return to his lord's command.
Rostislav is very happy about Edward's return. This Anglo-Saxon nobleman can be a powerful warrior. This time he has proved that he can take charge of an aspect completely on his own.
The person who left after the aunt was the King of Poland, who still had his own internal affairs to deal with.
Mieszko was quite reluctant to leave when they left. After all, both Boleslaw and Sicekh had a relatively good relationship with him, and now that they were about to separate, it was natural that they were in a bad mood.
But before leaving, he sent Rostislav a box of silver coins, which were all the latest products of the Kingdom of Poland, as a gift to thank Rostislav for his actions. Then he took the gift from the King of Hungary and set off back.
Journey to Poland.
In addition, Rostislav also received a piece of news that made him feel very bad, that is, his second uncle Svyatoslav will marry Boleslaw, and his second uncle will marry his daughter to this
The young and warlike King of Poland.
This made Rostislav really feel uncomfortable. His second uncle's marriage to the King of Poland could be said to have gained him a strong foreign aid.
If there is an outbreak in the future, then the second uncle will be able to receive military assistance from Poland. Even the warlike Polish king will personally bring his army to Russia and come to Kiev again, just like his ancestors.
.
However, there is a saying that soldiers will block it, and water will cover it. Rostislav was just in a bad mood, not worried, because there is no need to worry, anyway, in the end, he will see the truth on the battlefield.
After the Poles left, the Russians also decided to leave, but before leaving, King Bela specially summoned Rostislav.
