In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, the most powerful person is not the emperor, nor the prime minister, nor the leaders of the nobles of the foreign vassals, but the women, the upper-class ladies who can influence the affairs of the Kaoqi government.
Because they can command their husbands and their sons just like a majestic general commands his soldiers.
In addition, these ladies are definitely not divided into any factions. Maybe their husbands are life-and-death political enemies in the court, but they are probably good sisters who often hold dance parties together.
For these ladies, power and status are nothing at all, so they never participate in the fights between men. In the Kingdom of Kaoqi, if a minister loses power in the court, he will be very important.
They may be tragically sent to an extremely remote place to hold a very small official position.
But unless their wives are willing to endure hardships along with them, they can stay comfortably in the capital and still visit the palace and upper-class social circles all day long.
The father of the concubine chosen by His Majesty, the fourth emperor of the Kingdom of Kaochi, was a postal official (a postal officer with the title of Marquis) in a small mountain village on the border of Kaochi. This poor nobleman has always been
After his grandson was born, he was allowed to return to the capital.
It is precisely because of this that the political situation of the Kaoqi Kingdom is relatively stable.
Although the struggle between the emperor and the foreign vassals was fierce, it was not cruel. The losing side only lost face and power.
The stability and prosperity of the Kaoqi Kingdom and the mutual checks and balances between the emperor and the foreign vassals were one of the reasons. The huge and strong power network established by the women for generations also played a huge role.
For these women, politics is definitely not something they are interested in, and they will never get involved in things that should be the responsibility of men. However, there are exceptions. If politics is something boring and boring,
, if something arises that arouses their interest, these women will also get involved.
At that time, their power will be truly revealed in front of people. At least this power can cause the person involved a huge headache.
Because this power is not only extremely powerful but also ubiquitous and pervasive.
Obviously, Horkels III is now facing tremendous pressure.
This huge pressure comes from his mother, Her Majesty the Queen Mother.
Faced with this kind of pressure, His Majesty the Emperor was somewhat powerless to resist. His previous set of brilliant political methods were of no use in the face of this kind of power. These women, who are not interested in political affairs, are not familiar with the tactics commonly used in politics.
They are not interested at all, and they absolutely do not know how to compromise with each other, give in, or reach other agreements to bypass conflicts.
They just need you to face the problem they raise and solve it.
However, that huge problem is definitely not something he, the human emperor, can solve. Maybe the gods can change everything, but he definitely does not have the ability. "Mother, as far as I know, that lady has not accepted
Did you get Hegeello's engagement ring? There should be no problem between them!" The emperor was careless, and when he could pretend to be stupid, he still knew how to use this method.
"Huh, what does an engagement ring mean?"
The Empress Dowager obviously sneered at this answer: "Let alone an engagement, even if it is a marriage, it cannot confirm anything at all. It is just a formality."
"How could such a thing happen? Impossible. Marriage is sacred. Who would joke about such a sacred thing?" His Majesty the Emperor decided to continue to act stupid.
"Only you men think about things like this, as if a promise or a ritual can change everything and you can have everything."
Speaking of this, Her Majesty the Queen Mother paused, thought for a while and lowered her voice and said: "I think back then, didn't Hegeello's father think so too? He thought he had held a wedding and possessed the body of his sweetheart.
It means everything is perfect.
"But, in the end?? In the end, he didn't die under Saili's knife. At that time, Saili already had Hageelo in her belly. Think about it, even after she was pregnant, it still couldn't mean anything.
, do you think that an engagement ring can tie that lady’s heart?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Saili and I thought exactly the same, and several other people also thought so. Let alone an engagement, even a marriage, or even a child in the belly, even if that person
After the young lady gives birth to a child, she still needs to be vigilant at all times until the child grows up."
Hearing everything his mother said, Horkels III had a terrible headache. He would rather be stupid now than sit here and receive advice from the Queen Mother.
What's more, you have to endure not to smile. It seems that you don't have that kind of strong sedative with you, so it's really not suitable to talk about Enleco.
As long as things related to this guy, I would either be shocked to death, or I couldn't help laughing until I went crazy.
These women really figured it out. Getting engaged is not just about getting married as soon as possible. Getting married is not enough, you have to get pregnant right away, and you have to give birth to a child as soon as possible.
Enleco is a guy with great powers. I wonder if he has the ability to solve these problems. Horkels III secretly muttered that these women had been studying together for a long time, and most likely they wanted to plan their own wedding.
His Majesty the Emperor stared straight at the ground, still pretending to be stupid, because apart from this move, he really had no other option.
In his heart, he had already scolded the big bear Kobe Leo bloody.
Why is this guy making noise when he has nothing to do?
What a good thing it is now. I have harmed others and myself, and even harmed myself as the emperor! I have even gotten myself burned. The situation is so bad that it is impossible to deal with it!
His Majesty the Emperor even thought about telling the whole story to the Queen Mother and clarifying everything, so that he would not have to bear such heavy pressure.
However, before he could speak, Her Majesty the Queen Mother had already said: "Emperor, I will make it clear to you that in this royal wedding, you and Milinda will become a couple, and Somilet's status will be further consolidated and stabilized.
After that, just as you said, let Kobe and Li Aoqing really get what they want...
"Although Somilet likes to play power, he has no ambition to take your place. As long as you make him feel stable, as long as you trust him like the late emperor trusted the old prime minister Ross, Somilet's talents will definitely be able to help you.
Govern the country well. "And Hagriro and that Miss Fenacia also happen to be a pair. Hagriro represents all the nobles of the foreign vassal anyway. What's more, he is the child of Saili after all.
Saili has a close relationship with the common people. The routine that Hegeelo implemented in Kasina was also influenced by Saili to some extent. He will help you realize your wishes. Think about it, as long as he
With full support for you, can those foreign nobles still oppose it? This is much better than you now having strategies but no assurance?
"What's more, Miss Fenasia is the niece of Kobe Li Aoqing. The two of them are paired together, and the whole court is still not united? In addition, this young lady has already become a distant figure in people's minds in Chengdaville.
A person who surpasses her uncle, the only shortcoming of Hegeello is that he was not originally loved by the people. The two of them make up for each other and can definitely play an immeasurable role in promoting changes.
"I have made a plan a long time ago to let Hegeello be your best man and that lady to be Milinda's bridesmaid. After your engagement ceremony is over, you announce on the spot that the two of them will sign a sacred oath together.
Then, you announced the new set of personnel appointments and dismissals you had in mind. In front of the public, the young lady had already accepted Haguero's ring, and her uncle Kobe Leo was also watching the ceremony. There was absolutely no room for excuse.
, strike while the iron is hot, finalize the matter, and then wait for the wedding to be held.
"During this period, this young lady will let her live with Milinda in the palace. If she lives outside, there is no guarantee that she will not escape. However, it is not convenient to live in Hegeello's house. She will feel restricted.
, this was originally against her will, and it was perfect for her to live in the palace. Two temporary palaces could be built specifically for her and Milinda in the Royal Garden. This was also to prevent the young lady from escaping.
"I heard that the young lady and Sophie, the little magician, could work together to cast unimaginable forbidden spells. Hagrid and Somilet were completely defeated by this trick. I don't want to
The same thing happened in Vedsk.
"I remember your father once mentioned that the altar in the Royal Garden is actually a magic circle. It has an effect, that is, it can invalidate all magic within a certain range. He talked to me about this altar.
When we were in the magic circle, we were just chatting. I can’t remember it clearly after so many years, but you can tell me, is that true?”
"Well, there is indeed such a saying. There is a terrible immortal devil suppressed under the altar in the imperial garden. The altar is indeed a magic circle. It can drain the magic power and dissipate it into the air. Within the range covered by the magic circle
No magician can use magic within this circle, but no one knows how to control this magic circle." Horkels III frowned and thought for a while and said.
In fact, he had never thought of using the magic circle left over from ancient times. Instead, he was reminded by his mother that there was such a powerful cage for magicians.
"Isn't that the case? Since someone can create this altar, someone can also use that altar. It's not appropriate for Kobe and Li Aoqing to handle this matter. See if there are other talented people in our Kaoqi
And the suitable candidate will be fine as long as he is not related to that young lady and that little magician Sophie." asked the Empress Dowager.
"this??"
Horkels pondered for a long time. No one knew the super magician possessed by the Kaoqi Kingdom better than him.
The great wizard Kobe Leo and the officiant Meron are both well-known super magicians.
There is also Trode next to Hegeello.
There is also Drexel beside Somilet. Although these two people are unknown, they are both characters with the ability of super magicians.
Apart from that, we have to count Enleco.
Among these people, Enleco himself is obviously an unsuitable candidate. Kobe Leo and Meron have a close relationship with Enleco, and they cannot be trusted either. Originally, the most suitable candidate was none other than the people around Heguero.
That evil mage.
However, according to Milinda, when they were in Stryer County, the evil mage got along quite well with Enleco and had a deep friendship. In addition, the evil mage always gave people a mysterious feeling.
In fact, this evil mage is completely different from Drakes. Drakes was hired from an extremely remote mountainous area to assist Sommeret after Sommeret came to power. However, Trod was hired by Hagrid.
When Elo was very young, he deliberately got close to Hagrid, who was still quite young at the time.
The most peculiar thing is that Trode is Hagrid's teacher in a sense. Although he does not know swordsmanship, he is Hagrid's first teacher in swordsmanship. It is precisely because of his
Thanks to his guidance, Hagriro did not take any detours in his swordsmanship training, and finally reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
This is partly because of Hagrid's talent. He is the only one among all the Paladins who has not been formally taught by a master, but can rely on the martial arts training experience left by his ancestors and through hard training to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
.
However, Trode laid a solid foundation for Haguero in his early years and guided him in the right direction. This is the key.
Trode is indispensable for Hegeello's achievement.
This is really strange. Trode is definitely an incomprehensible guy. What's more, according to Milinda's description, at the most critical moment in Chengdaville, Trode left Hagero.
around.
It was when Hagrid needed to rely on him the most that he left Hagrid's side.
It is precisely because of this that Milinda was able to achieve a comprehensive victory, otherwise, the final outcome would have been difficult to predict.
However, looking back and thinking about this matter carefully, I always feel that Trode seemed to have deliberately taken the opportunity to avoid all this. This evil mage is really too mysterious and impossible to guess.
After ruling out these possibilities, the only option is Drakes by Somilet's side.
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor nodded and said, "I already have a suitable candidate in mind."
"I'm relieved now. You can make arrangements as soon as possible. I made an appointment with some ladies in the afternoon and asked them to bring the clothes patterns. The things designed by those craftsmen are always not to my liking. The old tailor is here
Okay, let the old tailor make the wedding attires for you and Hegeero and his wife, and I will absolutely rest assured, but those people today still don’t talk about them." The Empress Dowager said with regret.
.
"Yes, that old tailor is definitely a talent. It's a pity that I didn't realize that before that little magician Sophie made a huge contribution when she went to Darville. It can be said that without that old tailor
There is no situation like today. In Stryer County, his reputation is extremely high, even higher than Milinda." said Horkels III.
"Hey, that's good, call him back quickly. Aren't you in need of a right-hand man now? With his help, and Somilet in charge of court affairs, wouldn't it be more appropriate?" "What a pity.
He is already dead, he was already dead when the Blood Fox Bandits attacked." His Majesty the Emperor said with regret.
"Oh, really? What a pity. What a good person. By the way, you have to show something. That old tailor has served us for so many years, and at the end of his life, he helped you so much. You have to
What do you mean?" asked the Queen Mother.
"Yes, in compliance with the Queen Mother's wishes, I think it would be appropriate to give him a posthumous title of nobility?" Horcols III asked. He wanted the Queen Mother to tell him what kind of title he would posthumously give.
After all, for a commoner to become a high-ranking noble, the pressure he will face as an emperor is still very great. If the Empress Dowager speaks, which minister dares to be nagging?
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Horkels III said, the Queen Mother obviously disagreed. She shook her head and said, "Hey, you people only know how to reward people with titles and official positions. Is it useful? You can just give him one."
Duke Dangdang, can that old tailor enjoy it in heaven?
"As I said before, the human heart is more important than anything else. The most important thing about love between a man and a woman is to capture each other's heart. If a minister wants to make a career, he must also capture the heart of the other person. Hagrid
Aello and Someret knew how to capture the hearts of most of the important officials in the court, as well as the nobles of the foreign vassals. "Although Kobe Leo did not do it deliberately, he firmly captured the hearts of the people, and at the same time he also gained
I have lost your trust, but how come you, the emperor, only know how to use rewards to control your people? You must try to control the hearts of your ministers and people!
"Think about it, in terms of talent, you are much better than your father, and you have Hegeelo and Somyret under your command, both of whom are more talented than the old prime minister Ross, plus Kobe Lee
Ao Qing is deeply respected by the people, but why is your reputation far less grand than that of your father? Why was the previous situation so much more chaotic than when your father was in power?
"Because you like to use tricks to win over people, and you like to reward people with titles and official positions too much. You give people the impression that you are an overly rational and unemotional monarch, a shrewd but impersonal emperor. Your ministers and people
Of course I will only fear you, not love you.
"Think with your heart, can you express your respect for a deceased old man by conferring a title on him? If, as you said, this old man is respected and loved by so many people, you
What will the people who respect and love the elderly think of your reward? Will they turn to respect and love you because of this? Or will they just regard you as a just emperor?"
Hearing the Queen Mother say such words that he had never heard before and had never thought about, Horkels III was stunned for a moment.
He never thought that such a brilliant insight would come from the mouth of his mother who had never expressed any political opinions in her life.
Although these opinions are mixed with too much emotional color, and even compare love between men and women with politics, at the same time, they also naively believe that for an extremely realistic person like Somilet, he can be firmly entrenched simply by being moved by emotion.
Keep him under control.
However, most of the insights are completely correct and are things I have never thought of.
The Supreme Master once again realized that he knew too little about the people he was most familiar with. Maybe the real wise man was around him, but he had never discovered it.
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor lowered his noble head and said with great sincerity: "Yes, Mother, I will sincerely make the old man's contribution to the Kingdom of Kaoqi be remembered by generations of Kaoqi.
The descendants of this generation will remember it firmly." Seeing that her son had understood everything, Her Majesty the Queen Mother leaned peacefully on the recliner and said: "Emperor, I know that you are better than your father. Now that you understand,
You will definitely do better than anyone else, just go about your business."
Horkels III quickly agreed and bowed out of the Queen Mother's palace respectfully.
After exiting the palace gate, he walked towards the palace gate without looking back. The guards waiting outside the palace quickly summoned the guard holy knight on duty.
His Majesty the Emperor is leaving the palace.
The late autumn season did not cast any desolate color on the lawn in front of Sommeret's house.
The lawn is still as green, neat and smooth, just like the prime minister who lives here.
As usual, Somilet got up from bed around three o'clock in the afternoon.
For a person who has slept all day, there must be nothing in his stomach.
Therefore, the prime minister's "breakfast" is always extremely rich.
The change in the situation obviously did not affect his appetite. Although he was actually under house arrest now and could not step out of the mansion without His Majesty's order, he obviously did not take it to heart.
Although he cannot go out, it does not mean that the information is blocked, nor does it mean that he cannot get in touch with the outside world.
In fact, it was only at this time that the intelligence network he had worked so hard to build for many years truly showed its value.
In that small reception room, which was beautifully and uniquely decorated and filled with rare treasures, there was a stack full of information from all aspects.
Now that Somyret has been temporarily deprived of all official positions, he has time to analyze the information carefully.
After this setback, Somilet discovered that he had missed so many important things before.
I used to think that being cautious was my virtue and being resourceful was my specialty. It seems that these are all illusions.
This time, he was completely defeated by his biological sister, which was undoubtedly a powerful sobering agent for him. Regarding this disastrous defeat, Somyret was not very depressed, at least he thought that he was in this situation
I discovered a lot of things in the fiasco, at least I knew where my weaknesses were.
In fact, I am not the only one who knows this.
After returning to the capital, Drex, who had never left his side, actually asked for leave. He needed to go to a far away place to find some information, some information that could make him stronger.
It seems that Drekes has always been worried about the disastrous defeat in Chengdaville due to the joint efforts of the little beauty and the little magician Sophie. It can be seen that this time he has made up his mind.
I remember he once told himself that he had a way to become the most powerful magician in the world, but that method was extremely dangerous and the chance of success was slim.
Although, when I said these words, the most powerful magician in the world was recognized as the great magician Kobe Leo, but now it is obvious that this big stupid bear can no longer be called the strongest magician. That Enlai
Ko and his teacher, Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Sophie Kingdom, are obviously much more powerful than Ko and Leo. Even Drex is not sure whether they are enough to fight these two guys after gaining strength. However, in addition to taking risks,
Besides, Drex had no other choice. When he was in Chengdaville, he had no room to fight back under the curse and was simply at the mercy of others.
Drakes was definitely not willing to do this, so he would rather risk his own life. Besides Drakes, another guy who closed his door behind closed doors and focused solely on improving his strength was Hagriro.
It seems that being defeated by his sister's sword is definitely a huge stimulus for this guy.
Hagrid was originally a proud and arrogant guy. In addition, he had always had smooth sailing and had never met an opponent. Now, being defeated miserably at the hands of a woman would probably be enough for him.
Although she lost to Milinda, it was not the first time.
However, it was just a joke in the past, and he did not really take the game of hunting for women seriously. If it comes to swordsmanship, he is absolutely sure of winning.
It's a pity that this time, it was obvious that the last thing he could be proud of was smashed to pieces by his sister. This was a truly heavy blow to Hagrid. What's more, even though Drex suffered a disastrous defeat, at least he
You also know how to make yourself stronger.
For Hegeello, it is almost impossible to surpass Milinda.
Of course, it is not absolutely hopeless. There are at least two ways to make him stronger.
He can ask Milinda or the little magician Sophie for help. Since Milinda can do magic and martial arts, there is no reason why he can't do it. However, Milinda will teach her so generously.
He, a skill that he was extremely lucky to acquire?
As an older brother, he knew his sister's character and temper quite well.
As for the little magician Sophie, the love rival he hated with all his heart, how could Hagrid ask him for advice?
Hagrid was not a broad-minded guy to begin with.
Therefore, during these days, Hagrid was immersed in his home and thinking about ways to improve his sword skills. He must have been very distressed. After all, superhuman strength is unlikely to be obtained through hard thinking. Luck plus appropriate guidance is the key.
the key to success.
But obviously for people in this family, luck is never good. Especially when it comes to women, luck is extremely bad. Just as Somilet cleared his mind and wanted to focus on the table
As I was going through the information, suddenly the door to the lounge opened.
Sommeret didn't even need to raise his head to know for sure that it was Hegeelo.
Because the only people who could break into his mansion without notification were Hegeero, his sister Milinda and His Majesty the Emperor.
But Milinda is always sneaky every time. She prefers to enter the room through the secret door, which is related to her melancholy character.
As for His Majesty the Emperor, he always knocked on the door before entering. This was not because of politeness, but because the Supreme Being wanted the people in the room to notice the arrival of this important person.
Only Hagero would rush in without saying a word.
"Why did you come to me? Have you found a way to break through the bottleneck in swordsmanship?" Somyret asked without raising his head. He did not ask Hagrid. Without His Majesty the Emperor's decree,
Why did he leave his mansion without permission? Because Hagriro would never obey anyone's orders when he was impulsive.
He didn't ask him why the guards outside didn't stop him. For a paladin, unless Milinda stood outside the door, it would be impossible for others to stop him.
But Somyret never expected that it was not Hageelo who answered this question.
His Majesty the Emperor's voice came from the door: "Hagero didn't want to come originally, but I forced him to come to you."
Someret raised his head in surprise and glanced at the king.
Whether it was Horkels III or Haguero, they never paid attention to politeness in Somilet's small living room.
The two of them each found a chair and sat down.
Sommeret also didn't show any expression. He didn't even clean up the delicious food on the table, but just ate breakfast while looking at His Majesty the Emperor curiously.
Horkels III has long been accustomed to this, and there is not only one such example in Vedsk. Although Kobe Leo is loyal, he is also a guy who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette. The two of them are
Eating and entertaining guests is very famous in Vedsk...
"Why are you here?" Someret asked.
"Come and see you two! I am about to marry your sister, so it makes sense to come and see my uncle!" said Horkels III.
"The three of us haven't been together like this for a long time." Somilet said with a sigh.
"Yes, I miss those days in the past very much." Horkels III said with emotion.
"Are you here to persuade me to surrender?" Somyret asked.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at Somilet and Hegeiro, and Hegeiro remained silent from beginning to end.
"I can't say I'm trying to persuade you to surrender. I'm here to compromise with you two."
Horkels III thought for a long time and decided that it would be better to get to the point through negotiation first.
Someret and Hagrid knew him very well, and if he suddenly became very caring about others, it would definitely make them suspicious.
"Compromise?" Somyret obviously didn't expect this, and Hegeiro was also extremely surprised.
"Yes, I do want to compromise with you, and of course I also hope to get your compromise." Horkels III said.
"You have won, you have won completely. The foreign vassal was originally a solid piece of iron. Now, you have pried a piece of it off. Stryer County and several surrounding counties must have followed you. In addition, the prosperity of Stryer County has caused some other counties to follow you.
The remote and poor counties were shaken. Haguero and I didn't pay much attention to them before, which seemed to be a huge mistake.
"Even if they don't come to your side, as long as they stand on the sidelines and watch, it is equivalent to your victory. Foreign vassals that cannot unite are not foreign vassals, but local nobles with selfish motives, right?
?
"At the court, you have probably made the arrangements. Originally, the people under me were those who changed their minds when the wind came. The reason why they were on the side of Haguero and me was because Haguero gained the support and momentum from the outer vassal.
Great. But now that the situation has reversed, they were able to take refuge in me and now they can support you, right?" Somyret said. "You are right. According to what you said, I did win, but,
That is definitely not the victory I need. You should know very well how valuable the two of you are to me."
"Hahaha, now you have someone much stronger than the two of us. My precious sister has surpassed my older brother in strategy, and her swordsmanship is better than Hagrid's. She is not enough to assist you? What's more?
That little magician Sophie is far beyond the two of us in terms of ability, talent, and strength. Do we still need the two of us to get in the way?" Somyret said.
"Yes, Milinda is very strong. She has many advantages over the two of you. The most important thing is that she knows how to employ people. Her subordinates are much stronger than the two of you. Do you admit this?
"Moreover, she knows how to win people's hearts better than the two of you. I'm not wrong." Horkels III knew that everything he said was the extremely important thing in the hearts of Somilet and Hagrid.
A fact that is clear and will never be denied. Only facts are the most powerful evidence!
"However, there are things that Milinda cannot do. After all, she is a woman. It is difficult for women to establish their own prestige. She is very loved by the people in Chengdaville, but she still needs to subdue those people in my name.
Nobles, as for Enleco, alas! It would be great if he were a Kaoqi, or if he was greedy for wealth, or even a lustful person.
"However, he happens to be nothing. In a sense, he and Kobe Leo are the same person. Fortunately, Kobe Leo is from Kaoqi, but unfortunately, Enleco is not. Can you imagine
,Was Kobe Leo bribed by other countries?
"Although you and Kobe Leo are political enemies, you will never doubt his loyalty, but what about Enleco? Although I hold him in high regard, I can't change the fact that he is Sophie's benefactor, and the most disturbing thing is that he is Sophie's benefactor.
What I'm worried about is his talent. He can turn a small remote county full of conflicts between poor nobles and common people into a paradise on earth. I really have no reason to doubt that he has no ability to transform any country into the most powerful country in the world.
A big country."
"Are you afraid that he will escape back to the Kingdom of Sophie?" Hegeiro suddenly interjected and asked. "That is the luckiest thing for Kaoqi." Somyret said, obviously the emperor
Everything that His Majesty was worried about, he had already thought about. "I want to negotiate a deal with you two." Horkels III said softly: "I hope that you two can come back to help me. I have never been better than now.
I need the help of the two of you even more, Somilet, I need you to help me manage the government. I plan to fully implement everything that has been established in Chengdaville.
"However, you should know that what I am good at is discovering talents and giving them the most suitable jobs. Milinda is obviously not suitable for this complicated job, which requires a delicate and close mind.
There is no one more suitable than you, Sommeret, and you are the one who knows and cares most about what is happening in Strayer County among all the people.
"Although the perspective and perspective are completely different from ours, isn't there a famous saying? - The enemy knows you far better than you do.
Therefore, you can be said to be the person who has studied this change most clearly and meticulously. What's more, no one knows the original situation of the imperial court better than you. If you are responsible for implementing the change, you will definitely be more suitable than anyone else.
.
"As for Hegeero, you should know best what it means that the Blood Fox defeated the local legion in Stryer County so easily. The Knights of the Kingdom of Kaoqi don't seem to be as powerful as they appear. I need a truly invincible army.
The invincible regiment, therefore, all the large but empty knights in the outer vassal must be disbanded and reorganized into a powerful army with unified command, and I want you to train and command this army. At the same time,
, I want to hand over the Holy Knights to you, so that this most powerful regiment in the Kaoqi Kingdom can reveal its true value."
"Control of the Holy Knights?"
Hagrid was shocked. Even Somyret didn't expect that the emperor had made such a big determination and spent so much money...
The Holy Knights have always been the personal guards of Kaoqi emperors and have an unshakable status. The control of the Holy Knights is in the hands of the emperor himself. Unless authorized by the emperor, no one can mobilize this completely independent and strongest army.
.
The Holy Knights have always been the most important weight in the hands of Emperor Kaoqi. "Yes, not only the Holy Knights, but also Kobe Leo has long been tired of his position as Prime Minister of the Interior. He has wanted to resign to me several times.
However, this position has never been fulfilled. Now, I plan to fulfill him. I plan to hand over the position of Prime Minister of the Interior to Milinda. However, the Queen cannot be busy with official duties all day long. I plan to let you have the real responsibility.
If the elder brother picks it up, Kobe Leo can be responsible for training the Magic Corps. "In addition, the country's finances must be centralized and managed. The national treasury is not just about collecting taxes. Somilet, you have to help
I completely transformed Kaoqi's financial office. Enleco did not make any achievements in this aspect, nor did he come up with a solution.
"However, for us, this is the basic lifeline, and it must be thorough and meticulous. If you can help me sort out a complete and effective financial system, Somilet, I will follow the promise of His Majesty Emperor Xinluoan and the ministers back then.
That way, your family can get 1% of the national tax revenue from generation to generation, which is a reward for your huge contribution." Horkels III further said.
"Are you really going to disband everything? The independent corps of each domain, the independent finance of each domain, the Holy Knights personally commanded by the emperor, all of these, these traditions that have been practiced in the Kingdom of Kaoqi for hundreds of years, will be overthrown?" Somi
Leiter asked doubtfully.
Because everything Horkels III said had already exceeded his original expectations.
Originally, he just thought that His Majesty the Emperor planned to take back the real power and then firmly control the legions of each vassal in his own hands, just like the late emperor had done in his early years. In fact, the power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and then dispersed to the nobles of the outer vassals.
In the hand, Kaoqi has already experienced it several times in its history.
This is not surprising at first. Once a strong emperor comes to power, it is inevitable to take back power.
At first, Somyret just thought that the emperor just wanted to use what happened in Stryer County as an opportunity to divide the forces of the foreign vassals.
At the same time, he used the Chamber of Commerce and Freemasonry to restrict the economy of the foreign vassal, so that he would have enough power and funds to realize his ambitious plan.
However, it is now clear that what Horkels III is planning in his mind is a more ambitious plan.
He actually planned to overthrow the centuries-old tradition of the Kaoqi Kingdom, and actually planned to build a kingdom that had never existed based on the whimsical and genius creation of that little magician.
Somyret had never heard of such a country, and had never even thought that it was possible for such a country to function normally.
What happened in Strayer County may be quite exciting and attractive, but Sommeret only regarded it as a short-lived creation built by a genius relying on his personal charm and the efforts of a few beloved people.
Brilliance. In history, such brilliance has also appeared many times.
However, it would be an extremely crazy thing to turn this moment of glory into a nationwide system.
Has His Majesty the Emperor gone crazy? Someret really can't imagine it.
However, he knew at least one thing. His Majesty the Emperor really needed him and Hegeiro to help him realize his dream.
It seems that this is not a conspiracy, the emperor is here to compromise with them.
Sommeret secretly estimated the benefits he could get from it. One percent tax was not a small sum.
Although Somilet is not a greedy person, he still cannot completely ignore such a large amount of wealth.
What's more, for him, maybe this is a good opportunity to make a comeback.
If what His Majesty the Emperor said is true, after his reinstatement, his position will be more consolidated, his power will be greater, and even his only political opponent will disappear from his eyes.
Although it is inevitable to lose the support of the foreign nobles, under the current situation, the role those foreign nobles can play is extremely limited. Perhaps, a temporary mutual compromise is quite suitable for themselves. It's just that
, I don’t know what Hagriro is thinking.
Although Somyret was tempted, he knew very well that only by forming a strong alliance with Hagrid could he be infallible and invincible. He turned his head and glanced at Hagrid.
Hagero was completely unmoved by everything the emperor said.
For him, what he is most concerned about now is how to solve the bottleneck that restricts his swordsmanship so that he can further improve it.
His tragic defeat at the hands of Milinda's sword always haunted him and he could not let it go.
Milinda's swordsmanship has entered a whole new level, and there is no longer a bottleneck for her that prevents her from improving her strength.
After practicing both magic and martial arts, Milinda was able to use magic to make up for the power that was difficult to further improve after the sword skill reached its limit.
What's more, after the combination of swordsmanship and magic, completely new offensive techniques will be produced that are completely unimaginable, and this kind of technique cannot be defended by the original swordsmanship.
In that fiasco, Hagriro had fully realized how far a paladin could use this skill. That kind of power was invincible and irresistible to an ordinary paladin. However,
, it is simply impossible for me to relearn magic. The magic knight named Kate was originally a magician, and only after excellent guidance was able to achieve both magic and martial arts.
However, this is absolutely not feasible for myself.
I have never had magic talent, otherwise Trode would not have let me learn swordsmanship back then. Trode is definitely a super magician, and he will definitely not be unwilling to teach me.
Therefore, Hagriro can be sure that Milinda received special guidance from that nasty little Sophie magician and was able to use the power of magic without learning magic.
Trod was powerless in this regard, and he couldn't even guess what means Milinda used to achieve all this.
The only person who can answer my questions, besides Milinda, is the little magician Sophie.
However, Milinda, who had finally surpassed herself, would never tell herself the secret of becoming stronger. And that little magician was originally her natural enemy, so getting power from him was probably just a wishful thinking.
Apart from increasing his strength, Hegeero didn't want to think about anything. What would happen to the nobles of the foreign vassals and the court was none of his business.
Therefore, although he knew what Somilet meant, he still remained silent. Horkels III knew very well what Hagrid was thinking. He was originally most worried about Somilet.
Leiter refused to take the bait, and he had no worries about Hagero.
The Supreme Lord turned to Haguero and said: "Today Her Majesty the Queen Mother summoned me, and she gave me a decree that I was not allowed to shirk. In the engagement ceremony between me and Milinda, you will be the one who
My best man and Milinda’s bridesmaid must be Kobe Leo’s niece, Miss Fenahia. This decision is unquestionable.
"And another undoubted decree is that after Milinda and I get engaged, it will be your turn to get engaged to that lady. The engagement will be done with the blessing of everyone, and will be presided over by Her Majesty the Queen Mother herself. Kobe, Leo and Mei
Long served as the certifier, and the ceremony was attended by all the respectable nobles of the Kaoqi Kingdom. "After the engagement, the lady will temporarily live in the palace. You understand, she lives in the palace, not in Kobe Leo's home."
, not in any embassy, but in the palace. Until the wedding day, you will be my best man and a lucky groom who will be blessed by everyone. What do you think?"
Just as Horkels III expected, Haggero's eyes immediately glowed with excitement. For him, there was nothing more tempting than this.
"The Queen Mother really issued such a decree?"
The voice of this majestic commander-in-chief was obviously trembling at this time.
"Yes, if you still have doubts, you can go into the palace immediately and ask the Queen Mother in person. Let me tell you, the Queen Mother has considered everything clearly for you. The Queen Mother and your mother have already anticipated all possibilities.
I even thought that the young lady ran away from home with a certain lover and escaped overnight, so I planned to let her live in the palace."
His Majesty the Emperor knew that he should be moved at this time, and let this stubborn guy know how much the Empress Dowager thought about him, so as to hold his heart tightly. "Imperial Palace? That lady is a magician, a skill
An extremely powerful magician, not to mention, there is an even more powerful little forbidden magician outside the palace. I don’t think the palace’s security can prevent these two powerful magicians from escaping.”
His Majesty the Emperor obviously guessed that Hagrid had such doubts. He smiled and said: "Don't forget, there is an altar in the palace. You and Somyret must know what is sealed in that altar.
"That altar is the crystallization of ancient magic civilization. It can create a space where magic cannot be used at all. In this space, no skilled magician can cast magic because they cannot condense enough magic power.
However, the method of using that altar has not been handed down. However, there are so many powerful super magicians in Vedsk, so it should not be difficult to find the correct method of using that magic circle." Hearing Horkels
When the third generation said this, Hagriro and Somyret both understood.
Hagero jumped up from his chair with great excitement and said: "Okay, I will go back and ask Trode immediately, he will definitely find a way."
