Grandmaster Hunter of Age of Mythology

At this moment when the country is facing life and death, any factor that may bring about a turnaround will be infinitely magnified.

"Haha! Your Majesty is not superstitious, it is purely human instinct. Alas, a country needs loyal ministers in times of crisis, and a troubled time needs good generals! We are in a desperate situation now, and anyone can make Your Majesty feel more at ease."

Teacher Bayan is well aware of the king's inner pressure and desire for hope. In such a difficult situation, even a little bit of positive factors can bring comfort to people, just like a ray of light in the darkness.

The king took the hot drink from the maid and began to drink it slowly. He only dared to speak his mind in front of very few people. In his heart...

"Your Majesty, which is harder, starting a business or maintaining it? It is even more difficult if you want to change the world. Face everything bravely. There will be a rainbow after the storm. Even if the reform fails, your life will not be in vain."

"Haha! My dear minister, you are right. Perhaps the nobles are eager to kill me to vent their anger. I am irreconcilable with them.

In addition, the church denounced me as a heretic and used every possible means to weaken my national strength, which made the neighboring countries ready to make a move, just waiting for us to collapse so that they could divide up my beautiful territory.

The vested interest groups within the country are secretly waiting for the fall of this king so that they can legitimately establish their independence. They have not been able to defeat the power of my 100,000 imperial guards, they are just lying in wait. After this period of recovery, this king will continue to confiscate their property and exterminate their clans, and will never let them have any illusions…”.

The king could not help but shed tears. He had not been able to sleep peacefully for a single day in the past two years. There were cases of plague in the palace, which meant that the dark priests were coming and going freely in the palace. How could he not be afraid...

Because Kashin came, the emperor and his ministers finished their work early. After comforting the emperor, Teacher Bayan trotted all the way to meet this nominal disciple.

Already in the west hall, Kashen stood up and saluted as a disciple: "Advisor Bayan, I am sorry to bother you. I wonder if this has disturbed your peace?"

"Why did Kashin learn such pretentiousness? What? Now that you're a noble you're so eager to pretend to be cultured? No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Kashin sat down again, and Instructor Bayan said with a smile: "The Marshal is good at fighting. Now the army is in Juan's front line to suppress bandits. This cold weather did not allow the army to rest.

The Marshal reported that the morale is high and the army is ready to go, so it is time to make a concerted effort. At this moment, 8,000 troops have been left behind to implement the land reform. The troops under her command are getting smaller and smaller, but they are becoming more and more elite. She really has a way, hahahaha..."

Kashin smiled slightly: "Madam's thinking is unfathomable, I am ashamed of myself. You always do surprising things. I hope the land reform can succeed. Anyway, Sheldon Castle has already implemented the new policy. No acre of land is left, it has been distributed to civilians. Salt and grain stations are set up to purchase excess grain from civilians. The castle no longer employs civilians to farm..."

"That's great. The Marshal has implemented thorough reforms and even set an example himself. If common people have land, the country will be safe. They can have enough food and clothing through hard work. If every noble is like this, there will be no worries about the country being rich and the people being strong. Alas! It is difficult to promote the new policy in the capital right now, and Your Majesty dare not act rashly. You can only wait for the right opportunity..."

Kashin nodded silently. When his majesty ascended the throne, he was decisive and ruthless, but as time went by, he became more cautious and lost his former courage.

The two chatted about the current situation before getting down to business, mainly to let Kashin know about his wife's recent situation so that he could be reassured.

"Teacher Bayan, what is the relationship between this virtuous prince and Your Majesty?"

Bayan was shocked. Kashin couldn't possibly be chatting about this! Besides, isn't the source of the patients the National Library? When His Majesty mentioned this place, his brows were furrowed. Although he never mentioned it, he was suspicious in his heart.

"Prince Xian is your Majesty's elder brother, who is of the same mother and has a good reputation, but King Yongde (the former crown prince) did not think highly of him, so he lost his position as crown prince.

Kashin's situation is tricky. If it is not necessary, let him go and capture Anmu. Your Majesty cannot kill his own brother. At most, you can put him under house arrest. Also, do you have real evidence? The prince cannot be suspected without reason..."

"I don't have the authority to investigate, but the fluctuation of dark elements is in Prince Xian's mansion. It is not ruled out that His Royal Highness the Prince is also unaware of it and was framed by Dark Priest who sneaked into the mansion..."

The two sides had a brief exchange to get a general understanding of the situation. At this moment, the royal family was also subject to restrictions and some of their privileges were taken back. The king hoped that the royal family could cooperate in promoting reforms. In this way, the income of the royal family would also be reduced by 70%, setting an example.

In other words, the king even offended the royal family...

Without self-reform, it would be impossible to ask the nobles to implement new policies, so the royal family must set an example.

Kashin sighed deeply and said slowly:

"At this point, the royal family's dissatisfaction with Your Majesty is obvious. The so-called injustice is simply nonsense. Your Majesty has now become a heretic in the eyes of the nobles.

If a respected figure could step forward to replace Your Majesty at this time and wholeheartedly embrace the Church of Light, then this person would surely be canonized by the religion, and would even most likely be portrayed as a great hero who saves the people from disaster..."

Bayan nodded slightly to show his agreement: "Indeed, this possibility is very high. So, Sir Kashin, what are you going to do next?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bayan fixed his eyes on Kashin.

Kashin looked serious and answered solemnly:

"I have decided to investigate the case in depth. If it is found that the prince is involved in this matter, he must be executed decisively! After all, the innocent souls in Shadowmoon City need to be rested and comforted, no matter who it is, they must die.

Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to pretend that you know nothing about this for the time being. In addition, we have to consider a more serious situation - if the royal family members are really colluding with the church, then they will definitely find ways to take away the lives of Your Majesty's direct descendants.

Therefore, Your Majesty, please do not harbor resentment towards me because of my actions... The innocent souls of Shadowmoon City must make those who committed the evildoers pay a hundred or a thousand times for the suffering they have endured!

It is precisely because of the misconduct of these powerful people that the church members are able to act recklessly in our country, which in turn has caused major problems concerning the safety of the entire country! "

Bayan took a deep breath and said, "A plague broke out in the capital. If it turns into a plague throughout the city, and the dark priest took advantage of the chaos to release the plague in the palace, if your majesty died, it would be an "unfortunate" incident, and there would be no way to investigate...

Unexpectedly, the outbreak of plague in Shadowmoon City gave the Magic Association time to prepare and the court to make timely arrangements, so the plague did not have a chance to spread. From this, the origin was clearly seen. If the plague broke out everywhere in the capital, if His Majesty died of the plague, there would be no way to investigate..."

Bayan made some deductions and chuckled, "Okay, Your Majesty doesn't want to know about this matter, Kashin, please feel free to express yourself. If you want a search warrant, I will get it for you right away, how about it!"

"No need. I have a way to investigate secretly. Teacher Bayan knows nothing. As for the execution of the royal family, I will give them face. How about a sudden death?"

"Okay! Your Majesty, if you implement new policies in the future and offend the royal family, if it weren't for the family ties, they would have turned against you long ago! Alas! A great country is reborn from the ruins, and those rotten things must be removed with a sharp blade to succeed. Alas! Your Majesty is lonely! You have almost no relatives, and even the crown prince does not approve of your Majesty's new policies. It's a mess here..."

Only then did Kashin realize that His Majesty's new policies to share prosperity with the people had first and foremost offended the royal family. Even father and son were not in harmony, so how could he talk about other things?

Do the aristocrats just like to take advantage of the situation and watch the country sink? So what Tan Aili said about ruling the country with a sharp sword is right, and the bad nature of the aristocrats has never changed.
