Elite Mages’ Academy

Liang Taibai also thanked the king politely. The king seemed very generous, but in fact even if the king did not hand over the command, Liang Taibai still had countless ways to bypass the king and directly command the army.

Over the years, Dawn Academy’s various subsidies to the Principality of Rose have not been in vain. Those subsidies have been exchanged for almost absolute control over the Principality of Rose, from politics, finance to military affairs, especially when the king is a bit disobedient after being crowned. Well, the Shuguang Academy had placed pro-Dawn Academy officers in the King's Capital Guard Army very early on, just to deal with the ever-changing situation at critical times.

The king also knew this well, so he simply gave him a favor.

"I have already handed over the command to the ambassador. You can decide on the appointment of these officers." The king was a little strange. There is no need to tell him again, he is also mentally prepared.

Of course Liang Taibai's purpose was more than that, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you may not know the king, but you owe Xiao Lin a great favor."

The king looked puzzled: "Favour?"

Liang Taibai replied: "Your granddaughter went out a few months ago and was attacked in Yehuo Town. Fortunately, she was rescued by Xiao Lin."

The king was expressionless: "My princesses live in the palace all year round, not to mention Wildfire Town, even this Rose Principality has never left. Oh, of course they were just escorted away by you two days ago."

Liang Taibai smiled, and reminded "kindly": "I'm talking about Princess Ibeya, I think you should not forget your own granddaughter, king."

The palace suddenly fell into dead silence.

The king's gentle face froze instantly, he turned his head away, and began to look at Xiao Lin seriously for the first time, and in the previous two meetings before that, he only regarded Xiao Lin as Liang Taibai's follower.

Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed, but more puzzled. He didn't understand why Liang Taibai would suddenly pull out Ibeya, but he also observed the king's face with a little curiosity, wanting to see how the old man drove him out with his own hands. Does the granddaughter of the palace have any guilt?

After a brief absence, the king regained his composure. He nodded towards Xiao Lin and said, "Although Ibeya's mother was expelled from the royal family because of breaking the kingdom's law, Ibeya still has the blood of the royal family, thank you Saved a royal blood."

The king's expression was neither cold nor cold, gentle with indifference, and it was easy to hear the polite and polite thanks. It seemed that the king didn't care about Ibeya at all.

Xiao Lin didn't have a good impression of the king at first, but now he hates it even more. If it wasn't because it was a diplomatic occasion, he would probably have the urge to go up and beat up this ruthless old man.

After introducing each other, Liang Taibai didn't stay any longer, and took Xiao Lin to leave the palace directly. It was not until there were no palace guards around that Xiao Lin couldn't help expressing his confusion. He didn't believe this politician. A sharp and experienced ambassador will do a boring thing that doesn't make sense.

But Liang Taibai didn't choose to answer directly, but asked with some seriousness: "What kind of person do you think King Qiangwei is?"

"I don't know him well."

"It's okay, tell me about your first impression."

"Although he seems to be very enthusiastic towards us, in fact, every sentence has a great meaning of guarding against us. He doesn't welcome us. I can't judge whether he is a good king, but at least he will definitely not be qualified. Relatives." Xiao Lin said truthfully.

Liang Taibai smiled noncommittally, and sighed in a low voice with a slightly complicated expression: "Frankly speaking, regardless of his position and status, he is actually a good king. Do you know what the first thing he did after taking office? ?”.

Xiao Lin shook his head.

Liang Taibai continued: "Norma people are very curious about many novelties on our earth, and even many things have become luxuries of the local upper class.

With our support, the previous kings would inevitably ask us for these things. Although it is disgusting, these small needs will naturally be met under foreign policy.

But this king is different. After he took office, he borrowed books from us, a large number of books, books in various fields. "

"Our Earth's Own Book?"

"Yes, we have quite a few in our own library. Of course, it is impossible for the natives to read books on earth history, but at that time, under the good diplomatic relations between the two countries, a lot of other books were also sent. , anyway, these things are the least valuable.”

"What kind of books did he borrow?" Xiao Lin vaguely guessed something.

"A lot, besides history, humanities, art, economics, etc., oh, especially economic books are the most. At that time, we didn't take it seriously. A person who knows nothing about the history of the earth reads the earth's economy. Political science, but within a few years, the king began to try to implement reforms in the rose country."

Xiao Lin opened his mouth wide in surprise: "He wants to get rid of our subsidiary relationship?"

"That's right." Liang Taibai sighed again, showing regret, pity, or a little admiration, and said: "It's a pity how can his political IQ be better than those of the top executives of Shuguang Academy who have lived for hundreds of years?" As for the old man, although the king’s series of reform policies are very subtle, the school quickly discovered his intentions.”

Xiao Lin was silent for a while, then said: "We will definitely not allow his reform."

"The Principality of Rose Rose is a very important vassal territory for us. We will never tolerate losing it, but if the king is resigned by hasty assassination or other methods, it will arouse fierce opposition and even mutiny from conservative ministers in Rose Rose. The chaotic rose is also not what we need, so we secretly sent people from the intelligence department to obstruct the king's reforms in various places, and made the ministers think that the more embarrassing situation caused by the failure of the reform was because of the king, and then completely lost Confidence in the king."

Xiao Lin whispered suddenly: "Ambassador Liang, don't you want to say that this rebellion is caused by us!"

Liang Taibai smiled bitterly: "The actions at that time were measured, and it was impossible to reach the level of rebellion, but unexpectedly, they were used by others. Someone secretly took advantage of the situation to fuel the flames and used us to launch a rebellion." (To be continued. )) Book friends, pay attention!
