The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

In the glorious era, on January 17, 1226, the city of Herin, who insisted for nearly five months in the siege of the "rebel" of the Duchess of Catalina? ☆ → ☆ →, General Herin, the famous general called the Wall of Sezer, Marquis Bochmond died, and all the remaining 20,000 defenders surrendered to the "Rebels.

This means that the entire Oakley Empire already has half of its territory, and the nearly ten million stone deposits in Hering City are completely under the control of the "Rebels." North of the glorious capital, Cerokxia, there is no longer any natural danger to stop the "rebels" marching. If the "Emperor" of Iken sitting on the seat of Qing Yao still wants to continue to see a true chapter with his nephew, then he must be honest on the endless plains of the two rivers. , And have a fancy life-and-death contest with the other party.

Of course, when the news of Herin's fall came to the imperial capital, it was already in late January. Emperor Iken, who was holding the "Prince Council" meeting and the "Emergency Expansion Military Meeting" in the Palas Hall of the Yongchen Palace, stood there for half a minute. Although he already knew that there would be such a result, now he is still somewhat unacceptable in the face of cruel facts.

"What about Bochmond? How is he?" He questioned his scout loudly, his voice rumbling like thunder.

"... Qi, His Majesty Qi Bo, Bo, His Excellency Marquis Bohmond, has died in battle, Your Majesty." Icoin's coercive and eager voice clearly clearly deterred the poor herald soldier, A trace of obvious fear flashed across his face, and it took a long time before he spoke a complete word. Only then did he lie prostrate on the ground and try to disguise himself as a dog. He knew the relationship between the "Emperor" and the Marquis. Although he is a prince, he is also a friend of life and death. right now. The marquis are dead, and how can the emperor not be angry with thunder. He is just an ordinary scout captain, the lowest position among the players, if the emperor needs to vent his anger, he is the only candidate.

In all fairness, although Emperor Iken is certainly not a wise prince of the gods, otherwise he will not be beaten up by his nephew daughter who "rebelled". Of course, he is also not a faint monarch and a cruel tyrant. If viewed purely from his nature, he really hopes to continue the glory of the glorious age of the Oakland Empire.

From the appearance point of view, his inheritance completely inherited the sharp and angular appearance of the Sun King's strong age, but unfortunately he was already at the young age. He always likes to be accompanied by a face, which looks sturdy and majestic. There is a lot of momentum between the pan and pan. It is a pity that he does not have the deepness of the Sun King. His eyes always lack some sense of hierarchy. He likes to speak in a powerful and powerful voice. Many people think that it is enough to fear and scare ordinary people. However, in the view of the senior officials who are really familiar with the Sun King, this approach is really a bit deliberate. It takes its shape but not its gods.

Generally speaking, the second son of the Sun King and Queen Estil is such a tragic figure. He always wanted to learn his father, who was so great that he was so proud. But it is always different. He always wanted to shoulder shoulders with his great father, but was always stern about his father's political ideas.

"Lords and aristocrats with thousands of years of tradition are not satisfied. The soldiers with outstanding military merits are not satisfied when you are. They naturally dare not say anything, but when you are away, they almost offend the holy foundation of the country. How can the Royal Family still hold the throne? Just relying on these civilian-born nerds, opportunistic small vendors and war mercenaries, and how can they fight these well-established giants? "Iken So calculated.

In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with what he said in a sense. It is important to know that without the support of the elite class, the imperial power cannot be called imperial power, even if it is not qualified to be a mascot. However, he grew up in his Cézell enclave, and he did not understand that he did not receive the central elite education. The reason why his grandparents would reorganize the Saint Laurent Knights and the Aurora Guardian Knights with the concept of a military school And the establishment of Auckland National Central University in the model of Ocean University, as well as more professional law schools and accounting schools, is to create a new elite class.

In fact, the biggest political achievements of the Sun Kings in their lives are by no means to restore the country, nor to bring the Holy Spring royal family back to the world, but to allow these new elites to thrive under their wings.

Karin understood this, her father, Crown Prince Dirios, understood this, as did all the ministers who left the daughter. However, Iken did not understand that the most important force supporting him, some of the clever people in the traditional gate aristocrats understand ... Unfortunately, if the limitations of the class are so easy to overcome, how can a period of civilized change occur? So many wars and restorations?

"My most loyal minister and best friend, died in the hands of my niece?" The emperor said softly and without fluctuations, like a dry ice tone, as if asking questions to the scout, and as if to determine the cruelty fact.

"Yes, Your Majesty ..." The scout's voice trembles with fear. He even put his forehead on the ground, trying his best to show his lowliness and weakness.

The emperor's emperor's ministers and generals silently lowered their heads. In the Palace of Wisdom, the ornately decorated Goddess of Wisdom, only the fire in the fireplace was making a crackling sound.

The Palas Hall is a medium-sized side hall in the Yongchen Palace that can accommodate two or thirty people at the same time. It also has the functions of the emperor's imperial study and conference room. The decor is elegant and warm, full of understated luxury. When the Sun King is alive, he likes to meet important guests in this hall, or to convene heavy ministers for meetings.

Although His Majesty Iken doesn't agree with his father's political ideas, he always likes to learn his father in details. He just moved to the office right after he was "enthroned". The only difference is that when the Sun King is alive, the most detailed map of the world known to the world is hanging on the right wall. And Iken hesitated for a while, and finally replaced the ordinary map of Auckland.

The outside will be settled first. This may be a problem that every ruler must face.

"How is this possible? The Marquis of Bochmond said that he could continue for at least another ten days." Haldar? The Duke of Celeras seemed to be more collapsed than his emperor: "He still has Of the 20,000 soldiers, Hering City itself is an invincible historical city. After his long-term operation, it is even more solid. How could it fall after only two days? "

"... This, I don't know very well, I just heard that the temple ... ah, it's wrong. The rebel leader sent envoys into Hering City, and then the rebels sent people to sing around Hering City, and the Lion Wing Castle suddenly collapsed. Then came the news of the Marquis of the Marquis of Bohmond, and his men opened the city gate to let the rebels enter the city. "

"They are all mean betrayals! They should be loyal to the legal destiny of Auckland, even if the commander is killed. They should continue to fight until the last person!" Delke, the Marquis of Minonas gritted his teeth, as if it were It ’s really falling into endless anger for the behavior of these “betrayers”: “The family of these betrayers should be found out, all crucified and standing outside the imperial capital, so that everyone can see and depart What kind of punishment will be honored and loyal villains! "

Since he hated the betrayal who departed from honor and loyalty so much, should he be a knight with a sense of honor? In fact, in the previous battle of Hering City. His flanking force of 20,000 people was almost completely destroyed by the 5,000 ride of the Earl of Dylan, directly exposing the lord ’s array to the pressure of the other party, and it was very important for the defeat of his own army. ” contribution". Definitely counted as the pig teammate with the deepest temperament.

For this reason, Emperor Iken, who had a "mean and unscrupulous" evaluation, also cut off a quarter of his territory as a punishment. It still retains its position in the "Privy Council." If the same guilt falls into the hands of Karin, who has always been a reward to the heroes, he will certainly not deprive most of his territory and property without hesitation. When the time is ripe, it may even directly abolish this historic noble. so. In this world, most people can't understand it.

Another member of the Privy Council, the Marquis of Karoa, Gerbart. With a contemptuous look at Marquis Delke, his colleague who spoke eloquently, he said slowly with a soft and heavy tone: "Anyway. Hering City has lost its guard. Your Majesty, you must make a decision."

He said the only human word in this meeting, but it was still nonsense.

It should be known that once the city of Herin is occupied, there will be no danger to the north of the imperial capital, and the "rebels" may drink horses outside the city as soon as five days. There is not much time left for the emperor and the ministers of the Privy Council. Of course, those who are gathered in the imperial capital now, in addition to the five forbidden legions that sit on the hill and watch the tigers, there are still more than 100,000 reliable troops. If the emperor really gritted his teeth and went out of the city to meet the "rebels", this is not without the power of World War I.

However, the numerous experiences of being defeated by the "rebels" many times in the past have already caused these people to lose the spirit of continuing the war of resistance. What's more, at this time, your own military strength is already at a disadvantage, and there is also a central banned army with an unclear attitude.

"There are still twelve million gold baht and 50 million silver dir in the treasury, which is a big number. If we recruit mercenaries from Neosfia or even Sosnes, we can Convene a group of combat troops. Those war wild dogs naturally have no sense of honor, but at least they are very sturdy, and they are definitely not ... well, the rebels can fight. "Chubby Harrier? Viscount Hollens Be careful. His status is not high, and of course he is not a member of the emperor's "Privy Council", but because he is said to be very good at financial management, he was directly recognized as the Minister of Finance by the emperor.

Of course, this confession was said to have been opposed by Duke Tyrion, the imperial prime minister. It is said that the wise and keen, but due to physical reasons, the middle-aged man is still a bitter old angry young man so sarcastically: "But it is just a small bait that must count every copper peddler, at most it can be a man." Qualified tax collectors and accountants, does our Xinjun think this is the same thing as managing the state finances? "

"Go to the capital of the Seven Seas and even cross the sea to the South Continent to recruit troops? Not to mention whether they will sit on the ground and raise the price, how much time do you think it will take?" Marquis Gerbat said with a sneer.

"This ... or we can recruit an army among the refugees. Anyway, there are now more than two million refugees gathered near the imperial capital. The young and middle-aged people who want to recruit 100,000 people should not be a problem ..."

"All in all, we are not without World War I, but it takes time. I have got the news that the main forces of the Duke of Lyon and the Grand Duke of Di Lisa have been promoted." The emperor interrupted the other party, maybe he did not want to The Chancellor of the Treasury, who made his own promise, continued to lose face: "Of course, whether it is waiting for the army of the Duke of Lancaster and the King Duke of Longbao to meet, or the recruitment of a new army, it will take time. However, as long as Duke Uffrick is in Raising troops in the east, harassing the rebels' flanks, supply lines, and even directly attacking their nest in the north, they can hold them for a long time. "

The big men present looked at each other ... and then fixed their eyes on Count Brax, who was in charge of contacting the lords and allies. This is a middle-aged nobleman with an extremely handsome appearance and elegant temperament. He has elegant hobbies and skills for appreciating artwork, wine tasting, dancing, fox hunting and fencing. . In the upper class social circles of the entire Oakland Empire, UU Reading www.uukakanshu.com are famous celebrities and are said to be extremely popular.

However, this "social star", who can also talk in front of the Sun King, was sweaty, pale, and lowered his head and wished to hang on his chest. He spoke eloquently: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty ... Eagle Rudder City has indeed raised its troops. However, Duke Uffrick did not attack the rebel flank and imprisoned the messenger I sent to contact him. The Cooper family has shamefully betrayed the glorious empire. "

The entire Hall of Wisdom fell into an unspeakable silence. Many people only saw their "Emperor" like a stubborn stone, and quivered down their pen. He didn't say a word, and his expression didn't change much, but the whole person was haunted by the breathless low air pressure.

"... The adults of the Privy Council have stayed, and the rest will go out." After a while, the emperor said with a trembling voice.

Everyone looked at each other, but they did not dare to violate the Supreme Order, and they got up and left the seat. When the last officer left the Palas Hall and closed the door, the roar like a storm erupted from the gap between the doors. (To be continued.)
