Conquest

    Chapter 443, out of the ordinary

    "It is the emperor who is offended!"

    Adric carefully tasted this sentence.

    Immediately, before Ardek spoke again, Shaar slowly threw a sentence and made Adrick completely discolored!

    "Lord…Have you forgotten how the last Duke Tulip died? This secret, others do not know, how can you not know the core generals of your emperor? ”

    This sentence is like a lightning bolt to the heart of Adrick!

    Duke Tulip ……The last Duke Tulip!

……

    The death of the last Duke Tulip is naturally a big secret of the empire! It is a big scandal of the Royal Family!

    The historical statement is that the last Duke of Yujin died of disease. However, in fact, the real wealth of the empire, a few people know that the Duke Tulip in the past, but it is offensive to the Royal Family, let the Tulip Family how high weight, how to make a great feat! Offended the Royal Family, the emperor had to kill the throne for the stability of the throne!

    If the emperor really hates you, depending on your eyes, then…

……

    It seems that this is a puzzle without a solution.

    After a long silence, Adric sighed: "So, you want to be a general, standing outside, hiding in northern Xinjiang?" How long can you protect yourself? decade Twenty years? The emperor is still young, and his time in office will be very long. You can't always go on like this. ”

    Shaar hēi hēi smiled: "Then I can't do it. I'm not old. I can't be big. I'm older than Garcia. I live a day. I'm in the North, I don't return to Imperial Capital. Give him the opportunity to rectify me."

    This is a bit of a taste. Whether it is Shaar or Adek, it is clear that the problem is not so easy to solve.

    Now that the empire is in trouble, the central government is weak, the imperial power is weak, and Shaar is leading the army. The emperor has no way to come hard, but over time, the situation of the empire will gradually stabilize. Waiting for the empire to settle down, the imperial power is stable, and after the strength of the emperor’s hands, he will never tolerate a man who is not right with himself and leads so many soldiers and horses, and is also unfaithful to himself…

    At the moment, it seems that there is no other way than this.

    Adric had some headaches, and when he thought of it, there was a burst of power in his heart.

    Fortunately, there is still a bit of comfort in my heart: After all, Shaar does not have that kind of ambitiousness.

    At this point, Adrick can still be sure, this kid just came out with the mountain and he was with his own hands. His temper was lazy, it was not the kind of emperor.

    As long as Shaar has no rebellious mind, he has not touched the bottom line in Adric's heart!

“……Ok, I ask you a few questions, you think about it, answer me carefully. ”

    Adek squinted, his eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and his voice was flat and low: "Shaar, if you lead the army in the north, what should you do?"

    When Shaar heard it, he suddenly felt the spirit. He had a good answer in his heart. After listening, he immediately said without hesitation: "Jingzhi place, guard the party safe!" Respecting the empire, all legal systems are in accordance with the empire, and will never change. ”

    "Oh, just this is not enough."Adric smiled and looked at Shaar.

    Shaar took a deep breath: "What else…Dangerous and difficult, the rebel military areas around the North, as long as the Imperial Army has a heart to crusade, I immediately sent troops to help, no words! ”

    "Not enough."Adrik shook his head.

    Shaar thought about it and continued: “Moore County and Siltan County are grain-producing areas. Historically, the central and northern empire have relied on the two counties to produce food. If I manage one side…According to the old example of the empire, the annual taxation of food will naturally support the central government. ”

    Adrik's face was a little bit more, but he still shook his head: "…Still not enough! ”

    Shaar sighed: "Lord, what are your conditions, just say it."

    Adek stared at Shaar and looked at the young man in a word.

    "I want you to be the northern barrier of the Empire! If it is a foreign invasion, you must do it as much as you can! If the empire is suffering, you have to work hard! ! Also I want a word from your Shaar Thunder! You must swear, for the rest of your life, you Shaar is in the north, only the minister of Byzantine, no resent! There is no voyeur to the throne! ”

    Shaar listened, looked awkward, and immediately raised his hand without hesitation, solemnly said: "Yes, I swear! I will never violate these words! ”

    Adek listened, and he took a long breath and looked at Shaar deeply. "If you are today, remember more in your heart." If a person is in a high position for a long time, it will inevitably give birth to other minds. I only hope that when you grow older, you will have a higher weight. If you have other ideas, think about today. ”

    Adric’s tone is bitter.

    In fact, in his mind, this is by no means a good solution. Although he trusts Shaar at the moment, there is nothing to rebel, but the heart is unpredictable!

    The most difficult thing to guess in this world is the human heart! Shaar even though his mind is still very simple, he only has the self-protection mind, and this kid is very old-fashioned, has his own, and can firmly hold him. Can it be ten years or twenty years later? After the death of these empire old men, he and the young emperor could not help but when he was, he could really guarantee that he would never rebel…I am afraid that no one can tell.

    Just for now…It can only be taken care of now!

    Atrik is at least very clear: at this time, the empire needs the presence of Shaar in the north!

    The empire needs the tens of thousands of soldiers from the northern Shaar to take care of the place! Need Shaar to be the barrier of the Empire in the North! Need Shaar's army to help the Empire settle the rebellion!

    Even Adrick himself needs Shaar's army to help him stabilize the situation! Although the rebels have been defeated, don't forget, Atlantean and tens of thousands of troops have already entered!

    At this moment, allies can hardly turn their faces and become powerful enemies!

    Because of this, Adric had to choose, support Shaar at the moment!

    FutureLet's talk about the future.

    Adek’s heart was bitter and bitter, and he sighed for a long time, then he took out something from his arms and slowly placed it on the table.

    "This is your order of appointment. Your Majesty and I have already signed it below."

    Shaar had a happy heart, went up and took it up, but suddenly he stayed.

    "Eh? empty blank

    In this hand, it is a blank order of appointment issued by the Imperial Department. The appointed official position is empty!

    Adrik snorted and looked at Shaar: "The empty place, fill it out yourself."

    After listening to this, Shaar was suddenly shocked, and it was just a joy!

    God…PersonalFill

    This is an official appointment order! The emperor and the military minister have signed it!

    In other words, the military position of the empire, what kind of official do you want to be, what is the official? !

    (Father, if you seal yourself a Marshal, would you like to have it?)

    But Shaar immediately saw Adrick's smile and smile. His heart was a glimpse. Then he put the thing back to the table and smiled bitterly: "General, you still don't trust me, and finally come up with such a Something to test me to come…"

    "Hey, count your cleverness."Adrik sneered: "If you really dare to confuse yourself with a ridiculous official position, going back to this thing will be torn off by me. Someone will be sent tomorrow to call you into the Imperial Capital, then I will Will come to receive your troops in person!"

    Shaar is a stunner, smirked: "Since you have said this, it seems that this will not happen. Ok, I should be a professional officer, Lord, just say it. ”

    Adrik raised his finger: "First, what is the name of the northern theater you have to seal yourself? There is always a day to finish. You are now called a 'war zone', and you will leave a secret in the future. Excuse me, what is the 'war zone'? When you cancel the theater, you can't speak. ”

    Shaar nodded immediately, knowing that Adek was thinking for himself, and he was grateful.

    "Since it is not called a war zone, it may be called 'Northern Defence Zone'. In the name of defending, it can be used in wartime or in peacetime. ”Adek faintly said: "Your identity is even the leader of this defending area."

    Defending General…

    Shaar couldn't help but grin.

    I am in the north, and I am still a "Marshal", and this is directly reduced to General…

    "Hey, don't you pout, what Marshal you used to be self-styled is just a mess! In the post of Emperor, Marshal is the highest position, and the non-Gaily merits are not sealed. The non-military Senior Elder is not sealed, and the non-Royal Family is not sealed! How old are you? Just dare to call Marshal, it is ridiculous! Even though the Empire is now, the senior Elder in the military like Duke Minas has never really sealed Marshal! ”

    Ok, but it's just a name. General is Marshal. Anyway, I still manage some people. Shaar doesn't have to fight for a name.

    And…Father closed the door, even if he claimed to be the emperor, others could not manage Father's head? Hum

“……Number TwoAdek slowly said: "General in the defending area, there is a real power in the defending area. You will be under the leadership of the military. You have the power to be sealed. The defending area is a military area of ​​the empire. All the appointments, you seal. After the appointment, it will be fine to send a person to the Emperor’s Department for the preparation of the report. The Emperor Department does not interfere. ”

    This is a benefit. Shaar nodded.

    3rdAdrick said: "The empire has always been a military and political power! Where you are now in control, in several counties, the Empire has to re-offend officials to serve as County Overseer, governing local government…"

    "What?Shaar suddenly did not do it: "Let the emperor send people to manage the place, I…"

    "stupid."Adric frowned and looked at Shaar: "If the emperor does not send people to serve as local officials, does it mean that the land of these counties has been given to you as a kingdom!" Even if the emperor himself is willing to endure, so many ministers of the empire can not bear it! ! The empire has just finished the civil war, the most taboo is the warlord of the military region! The following is to conquer the local military region, sweeping the warlords! At this time, how could it be possible to seal a warlord again? Wouldn't it be that the emperor himself hit his own face? The emperor is absolutely impossible to tolerate! If you are a carriage horse to be a warlord, the empire will not hesitate to turn your face! ”

    Shaar frowned: "But if the emperor sent people to decentralize, local government affairs, let him pinch it, the tax is not in my hands, and the supply of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses is pinched. How can it be?"

    "So I said you are stupid."Adek faintly said: "The army is in your hands, the emperor is far away, a few civil servants are running, can you turn the sky? On your site, your army is there, can a few civil servants really hold you back? If you are so useless, give me the confidence to protect yourself, and simply come to Imperial Capital. ”

    Shaar immediately understood the meaning of Adric.

    Sending a local official seems to be only a helpless move by the emperor. The emperor himself may not really be naive to think that sending a few local officials can really grab the site from Shaar.

    Nothing, it is a cover-up move, a layer of fig leaf. It shows that the Empire did not "send" a large piece of land directly to Shaar. It shows that the central government still has a signal of control over the place.

    What are some of the civil servants afraid of? As long as the army is holding it in its own hands, how do you want to marry a local official? If he wants him to be round, he wants him to be flat and flat…

    4th

    Adek only said that at the beginning, Shaar’s face was stunned: “There is still the fourth?”

    Adek's look is unchanged, Shen Sheng said: "This division of the defending area, Moore County Siltan County is naturally inside, Corsican military area is what you hit, the Empire has no spare capacity to take over, but also count In the defending area. However, the Besta Military District and the Esria County are not included. ”

    Shaar frowned: "Besta…"

    "The Basta Military District is sincere, and the Empire is naturally welcome, but the arrangement for them is different from yours. The county of Esria was occupied by the Besta Army. The empire is now unable to recover and can only be temporarily tolerated. This is also impossible. However, the bottom line of the emperor is that you cannot tolerate the relationship between you and the Besta people. The Battle of the Basta and Estonia, the empire means to merge into a big county, called the Besta County. The location of County Overseer and the location of the military and political Sir were handed over to the Bestas themselves. ”

    Shaar thought a little, and smiled: "The emperor meant to use the power of Besta to check and balance me. Hēi hēi, this is normal, his heart is wariness me, putting the Besta in front of me is also a means. ”

    A little calculation, Moore County, Siltan County, Corsica County…The territory of the three counties in his own hands is also a place that he really controls now, and he has not suffered.

    As for the Basta Military Region, Shaar had no intention of annexing it. The Lady of Governor was very savvy and not weaker than herself. In the future, she is an enemy and a friend. It is hard to say…

    But I have a secret in the hands of a Governor’s house…Oh, it’s a card of your own.

    … to the fifthAdric continued quietly.

    Shaar doesn't do it!

    He jumped up: "Don't do it!" One condition is to take the rope to cover my neck! With so many conditions, how can I do things? ! ”

    Adrik looks weird: "The fifth is a personal reward for you. Are you really not listening?"

    Shaar stayed: "My personal reward?"

    Adrik smiled: "When the emperor was there, I didn't have an agreement with you. At the hunting conference of Imperial Capital on that day, the first emperor promised in public, you forgot?"

    When Shaar heard it, he was happy. "Yes, I remember that thing…Killing the enemy 30,000 will seal the Count, if you kill Hasting, seal the Duke…"

    "You didn't kill Hasting, but the guy who is Manninger is dead in your hand, it's a big deal, so…Congratulations, kid, even when the Empire was founded, there has never been such a young Duke! ”

    Public, duke…

    Shaar suddenly grinned.

    Duke…Judging from the title, it is already a great minister!

    The twenty-year-old Duke, in addition to those aristocrats inherited by the hereditary, may have, others, sealed by their own skills, never existed! Even when it was the beginning of the country, it has never been!

    "Five, Garcia has followed the oath of the Emperor and promoted your title from Baron to the Duke, hereditary system! Really sealed! Your title is not fixed for a while, waiting for the aristocrat parliament to discuss. Congratulations to you, you can also create a family. In addition, as the Duke of the Duke, you can have your own territory, establish your own private army, the system of the empire, the Duke can have a private soldier of Flag Battalion, the amount of two thousand people for you, can be regarded as expanding strength. . Moreover, in the territory of aristocrat, you have the real absolute power, whether it is military power, government affairs, you are in control, not subject to anybody's constraints! This title is also a talisman for you! Once you become a big aristocrat, even the emperor can't easily do it to you. Otherwise, other aristocrat classes will have unstable and self-defeating ideas. This is also the cost that I will fight for you to settle down in the future…"

    Shaar listened, and was greatly grateful. When he looked at Adric, he said, "Lord, I…"

    "You don't want to thank me."Adrik’s look suddenly became weird: “This thing, I was originally kind. After a few arguments, the emperor finally agreed, but I didn’t expect the emperor to think of it at the last joint. Your method…Hey, from this matter, can you sit down and not say the position of your duke, I am afraid that the Duke’s reward will not be a good thing for you…Oh, it’s also a bad thing for me, but it makes you feel paralyzed. ”

    When Shaar heard it, he moved: "Is it my land?"When he was slightly indulged, he said: "Is it wrong, the emperor refused to seal my land?"

    "No, I just said, you are a hereditary system, real seal! There is a seal. ”

    Shaar nodded and said: "That is the seal is too small? Too poor and ridiculous place? ”

    Adrik’s look: “Your seal is not small…Speaking of it, if you simply follow the site, your land is the biggest among the current empire aristocrat! Your land is a county! A whole county has been assigned to you! ”

    A county? !

    Shaar is stunned.

    The aristocrat system of the empire, aristocrat is not a fake, the former title is Baron, but it is just a small town. The higher aristocrat title is nothing more than some towns. The title of the Duke, the empire is not now, and the land is mostly from a few cities to more than a dozen cities.

    But if you want to say that a whole county is sealed to an aristocrat, the Byzantine Empire can't find one now!

    "A county…"Shaar frowned: "I know…Could it be that the emperor put my fief in the land and deliberately placed it in the south of the empire? The southern part of the empire is a centrally controlled area. My old nest is in the northern Xinjiang. The emperor deliberately put my land in the south, so that I can’t care about it. I’m afraid that I can’t really control it. After all, I can’t be separated. Run to the south…Oh, it can be considered a means! ”

    WellNot at all. ”Adrik smiled bitterly: "Your land is in the north, and…Just in your nest next to…That…Mmm…Just a step away from your Moore County…"

    Shaar listened, and suddenly he woke up in his heart, just staying and opening his mouth: "One step away…damn it! The emperor, it would not be to…Qty.

    Adric sighed and patted Shaar's shoulder gently: "Since you guessed it, I didn't hide it…Yes, your land is…County Noz. A whole county of Noz is completely sealed to you! ”

    He damn it! !

    Shaar suddenly got angry!

    County Noz! A whole county? !

    Great seal!

    This shows that it is Yin Father! !

    Noz County…Hell County of Noz!

    You know, Noz County is indeed right next to Moore County! Noz County itself is also a rich grain-producing area! The location of Noz County is not small, it is not fake!

    The most critical issue is that Noz County is not in the hands of the Empire! !

    Now in the county of Noz, it is the Odin Black Flag Army that has occupied this piece of "enclosure"!

    Black Flag Army ,Hasting ! !

……

    Shaar was annoyed in his heart, and after a few deep breaths, he gnawed his teeth: "This Garcia, a sinister mind!"

    Shaar Insulted the emperor as the backbone of the royalist faction like Adek, Adek could only be seen as not heard. After all, this thing, the emperor did indeed be a little insidious…

    A problem in front of Shaar is obvious.

    Noz County, nominally Shaar's fiefdom, is a private property of the Byzantine Empire Royal Family that was given to Shaar's private property!

    But this property was occupied by Hasting!

    You Shaar wants Noz County, very good…Go and go to the famous Odin's God of War Hasting! If you fight to win, you are welcome, Noz County is yours!

    Of course, if your Shaar Lord Duke is no match for the Odin's God of War, or if you accidentally die under Hasting's triangular war spear, the Emperor does not mind chasing you a warrior to give you What kind of medals and the like…

    Some people may say: Since it is a complete set, Father is not fooled! This County of Noz, Father did not go to fight with Hasting, he was thrown at him, I did not go to fight with Hasting, the emperor also took me no way?

    But the problem is not that simple.

    If the emperor simply used such a means to disgust and disgust Shaar, it would not make Shaar really a headache.

    The key to this problem lies in a "famous"!

    Shaar gradually emerged, and on the stage of the Byzantine Empire, he officially became a hero!

    The higher the identity, the more attention is paid to a prestige problem! !

    Shaar defeated the Red Snow Army, and the story of reclaiming several counties' land must soon be rumored to the mainland and become a comet-like emerging force! Especially at this time, the imperial state is weak, and a young hero like him is born, it must attract the attention of countless people, and people look up!

    It is conceivable that Shaar's prestige will definitely rise to an amazing degree!

    The emperor’s approach, speaking, is very clear!

    Suppress Shaar's prestige!

    Imagine that you Shaar Thunder Lord, Hero of Empire, the Duke of the Duke, and the singer of the Red Snow Army, the goddess of the world who has made great achievements…The ridden Lord Duke can't keep his own fiefdom and is occupied by others. You have no courage to take it back…

    After a long time, Shaar’s prestige will be damaged!

    A hero who can't even protect his own land, a hero who can't keep his own home, a company that has been taken away, and who is not courageous to grab it back…How many people can get true loyalty?

“……Good means. ”

    After careful thought for a while, Shaar had figured out all the joints. He sighed: "This Garcia is really insidious, hehe…I just didn't think that he was still so smart. This kind of savage and savage means can be used to show it. When it comes to it, Father is looking down on the rabbit. ”

    Adek’s insult to the emperor of Shaar is also helpless.

    It’s just that he knows.

    This kind of old-fashioned means, if the weight is light, and a gentle reward, it will squeeze Shaar into the corner of the wall, and it will not be able to advance or retreat. It is as if it is stuck in the neck…Such a political wrist, this kind of mind, is not the young Garcia emperor can display it.

    When the order of the reward was received, Adrick understood the meaning of it and also marveled at the amazing wrist of the Emperor Garcia.

    But soon, the chubby of Ruhr was directly broken!

    At that time, the chubby did not hesitate to conclude: "This kind of skill is definitely not something that our young emperor can do!" I think the idea of ​​this reward is mostly from the Prime Minister Lord! Hēi hēi ! He can fight with the demon like Carvesylver for more than ten years, and the method is naturally brilliant, so he really shot out of the ordinary! ! ”
