"Be quiet, everyone! I have already decided on your opinions, but even as an emperor, I don’t want to be biased. Maybe after listening to our friends from Venice, my court will be much more harmonious. Before that, I think you still put aside the dispute and worry about the decency of the empire." Mikhail Dukas looked down at the ministers under the throne, and finally calmed down in the palace. After all, this was the emperor's order. The two nobles who were still arguing just now finally ended their quarrels and doubts. Under the guidance of the imperial messenger, the Venetian messenger, who had been waiting for a long time, walked slowly to the center of the palace.

I saw the messenger wearing a long hat and a dark green close-fitting gown saluting to Emperor Mikhail in front of him: "I am Amor of the Vernier family, and I would like to present to Epirus on behalf of the Republic. The king of ‘s sincere greetings, thank you for being able to meet me here."

"No one cares what your name is. Tell us what tricks your master wants to send you here?" Looking at the Venetian coldly, the military aristocracy of Plogna didn't have any good feelings about it, even before Emperor Mikhail emphasized that they did not conceal their hostility. After all, it was they who had usurped Constantinople by carrying the Latins on their boats and these Plogans had to live in this poor country. Their ability to hold back their swords was already restraining themselves.

Mikhail frowned slightly. He didn't like this time to ruin the atmosphere, but he also understood why his vassals reacted so fiercely. In fact, he also had difficulties. In order to change the subject, the emperor looked at the Venetian messenger in front of him, and said with a pleasant face: "You are welcome, messenger of your country, thank you for releasing your kindness to the empire, and hope that we can resolve previous misunderstandings and contradictions in our cooperation in the future. ."

Seeing the hostile gazes of the Greek nobles in front of him, Amor of Venice didn’t take it seriously. The purpose of his trip was burdened with the tasks entrusted to him by his motherland. Therefore, the envoy of Venice also gave him a lot of what he had in mind. The face of the Greeks of Epirus who don't deserve it.

"I believe this will be the case, Your Majesty, thank you for your tolerance and generosity. The reason for my trip here must be well known to all of you present. I don't think I need to repeat the previous scenes. I will speak bluntly. The purpose of sending me this time was for the Peloponnese."

"The Peloponnese is the territory of the empire. When is it your turn for the Gentiles to point your fingers." When Amor of Vernier mentioned the Southern Military District, the nerve-sensitive civil servants could not sit still. , Immediately interrupted the other party.

"Ahem, Russell, let our guests finish talking." The somewhat troubled emperor Mikhail prevented the ministers from continuing to question. He didn't want to get away with just getting in touch with the Venetians.

Seeing this, the Venetians simply pretended not to hear them, and continued: "Corfu and Modong Fortresses are commercial ports where the Republic leases your country. These are the black and white letters on the edict of the Golden Seal of His Majesty Alex III. However, the deadline Before arriving, the Governor of Moria in your country suddenly attacked, resulting in the loss of two merchant fleets and uncountable property losses in our country. Under the dictatorship of the so-called little fox of Moria, the entire Peloponnese The trade privileges of the Venetians and even Pisa and other states have also been taken away. In this regard, I have come here to hope that your respected Majesty can give us an explanation."

Amorvenir’s understatement instantly ignited the palace court, and the nobles of Epirus, who are themselves energetic, put down their opinions and unanimously agreed with the outside world regardless of whether they were going east or going south.

"Presumptuous, too rude, Venetian! Where do you think this is?"

"Are you here to negotiate your attitude? It's a question of guilt. Your Majesty, please expel him from our land immediately!"

"Yes, throw him into the sea, the Venetian is not worthy to set foot on our land."

The passionate nobles were about to lose control, but at this moment, Mikhail Dukas's voice resounded through the court.

"Quiet--! Your Excellency Roselle, Your Excellency Eto'o, I think you are a little too emotional. Maybe you are not suitable to stay here and let our guests watch jokes."

Mikhail looked at the two nobles who shouted the most fiercely among the two nobles, and then the guards behind him went up and invited them out "friendly".

The emperor’s angry voice made everyone’s hearts tremble, and the nobles below realized their gaffes. Seeing the emperor’s attitude, the nobles of Epirus could only sit down angrily even if they were dissatisfied. Although he still looked hostilely at this rude Venetian messenger, there was more fear in his heart about the attitude of the emperor in front of him—because it was obvious that from the very beginning, this majesty seemed to intentionally protect this Venetian messenger. .

Seeing that it was finally quiet, Mikhail Dukas immediately returned his gaze to Amorvenir before him. He had known that the Venetian would come to offer conditions, but the messenger in front of him was too early. Speaking out, he was a little irritated. But fortunately, some things are better solved early.

The emperor pretended to ponder, and replied after thinking for a while: "Your country's request is not excessive, but this fact is beyond my ability."

"Oh, is it possible that your Majesty, who is the emperor of Rome, can't decide what's going on?" Amor raised his brow lightly.

The emperor’s face looked sad, “In troubled autumn, the southern rebels are screaming at him. Although I am exhausted, I can’t support it. The former Corfu Island and Modong Fortress are both occupied by the rebels. If I can Fortunately, no joking, I will return to the two places in order to reconcile the good of the two countries."

"As your Majesty really said," Vernier also pretended to ponder just like Emperor Mikhail. After pretending to think, he suddenly bowed down and proposed: "Then I forgive me for presumptuousness, and I beg you to accept the friendship of the Republic, We are willing to send troops to assist your Majesty to fight against your enemies and defend your imperial power to extend on the territory of Rome. Just a word from you, the Venier family fleet in the West Sea is ready to fight for you~www. readwn.com~ Sweep your rebels on the Peloponnese, and the Dandolo family’s navy has also set off from Crete and will assist you in regaining Thessaloniki. So I think, Miha Your Majesty Il, you will not have to worry about how to use troops to counter the rebellion, and the ministers here must be satisfied with this result." At this time, the Venetian messenger simply didn't even pretend, and said frankly, From the very beginning, he was in the court of Emperor Mikhail and knew the focus of the dispute among the nobles at the moment.

As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Mikhail stepped forward and lifted Amorvenir in front of him. "God is merciful, your words are like the gospel. If your country should be so, I should do my best to thank the two countries. Your Excellency Vernier, it is the supreme joy to be able to receive the help of you and your country. "The purple emperor kissed the Venetian messenger in front of him on the cheek, but this scene fell in the eyes of the nobles under the palace seat so embarrassing. But this time no one objected, because it was obvious that the initiator of the Venetian's visit was the emperor in front of them. As Amorvenir said, the olive branch he extended can indeed solve the problems Epirus is facing now, but everyone knows that Venetians will never be merchants willing to suffer. What the price will be, in fact, everyone knows.
