Realm of Power

Main text National destiny (VIII)

June of the fifth year of the imperial calendar is a month with a special status in the history of the Falcon Empire.

In the history of the Falcon Empire, this month is also known as the "Turn of National Destiny", which means that the empire's national policy took a huge turn in this month, because in this month, facing the situation of overall stability, Within the empire, the people in power, headed by the Emperor of the Falcon Empire, began to spontaneously adjust national policies this month. This month, one of the important officials of the empire, the Southern Governor Statunko, first came to Saran in the south. De Peninsula announced the appointment of its latest regional management officials,

In this list, everyone noticed the identity of these new regional administrators, nobles! Among these newly appointed regional officials, those with noble status accounted for three-quarters of the Salander regional management officials. This was like a bomb dropped into the water, causing huge waves within the empire. While everyone was surprised by this sudden change, in late June, the city mayor system promulgated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the entire empire once again caused an uproar in the empire.

This was the first time that the empire opened the door to reconciliation with the aristocratic factions that had been suppressed for several years, because the aristocrats at this time were no longer the powerful privileged class in the kingdom era. The unification war launched by the empire was fought with bloody Horse hooves carried out a heavy sweep on the nobles of various countries. The manor that was once full of crops turned into a wasteland that was always full of green grass. The halls of the wealthy families that had been glorious for hundreds of years withered, and all that was left was the drunken memory of the past scenery. drunkard

This is the devastation left after a war of conquest. After the war, the empire with its vast land needs stability, experienced managers, and a class that can make the country function normally, although it is not the best choice. , but it is undeniable that the aristocracy was still the largest intellectual group of that era. He is the regional manager with the most management experience and is the weather vane that can make most ordinary people feel stable.

In the subsequent changes, among the big businessmen who were most impacted by their interests, the former nobles were undoubtedly the source of most of the wealthy business families. All this shows that personal excellence will also be limited by the times. Nobility has never died, it has just changed its way of existence. Even the talented and ambitious Falcon Emperor cannot ignore the role of this class. This is a choice that the empire must make, and it is also a choice that determines the direction of the empire's three hundred years of national development.

Excerpted from Chapter 2 of Volume 5 of "The Transformation of Empires" ---Sociologist Ferran Larbo

The wind in July stirs up the golden color scattered on the earth, and the cool plain wind blows through the waves of golden wheat on both sides of the road. The heavy ears of wheat are like soldiers lining up on the battlefield, and the curved wheat stalks are raised high to the sky.

The Fat Man held a military parade in Salander Kyoto, and the participating troops were all troops returning from the Obaro region, as an encouragement to these veterans who had fought for the empire for several years. The fat man was not wearing the emperor's majestic uniform that day, but the black Demon King's armor. Fifty thousand Falcon Army soldiers marched in parallel formations in the vast wilderness of Salander Kyoto, with war flags rolling like clouds across the earth. The cold light of countless spears struck people, making countless Salanders watching nearby look pale.

This is a display of the empire's powerful military power, one hand pacifying and the other hand strong. It has always been the style of the Fat Man. Using Salander nobles as regional magistrates does not mean that the empire's sword will be dull. This is a shock to all Salanders.

But when the autumn wind swept over the ground, the reminder messengers sent from the northern grasslands also arrived in Salander Kyoto, and handed over the screaming son in his arms to the little guy's mother. The fat man received the grassland man's mother. The messenger is a person that Fatty knows, Yagmo, the left leader of the Duoweiyan tribe. This is a prairie man with a steady face. He is forty years old. Under his broad forehead, there is a weather-beaten face unique to the prairie people. dark red face,

With the sound of metal scale armor clashing, this tall and strong, bear-like prairie general knelt down in front of the fat man with a respectful expression without hesitation, and said loudly, "Yagemo goes to the land of Changshengtian in the prairie." Salute to the Walker, the eternal master of the prairie, and the greatest master of the royal court!”

As the grassland general knelt down, a breath of warriors came to his face, and a chill flashed through the fat man's slightly narrowed eyes. What a fierce general! Salander has enjoyed family affection for more than half a month, wandering around in the joy of his wife and children all day long, and has almost forgotten this warrior's heart that can only be forged in the most cruel environment.

"The grassland is indeed a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! Yagmo, get up, we haven't seen each other for three years!" The fat man smiled slightly when he heard this. He remembered that the first time he saw this grassland warrior, it was Duo Weiyan as Xiting. When he was a foreign affairs officer, he was bold and careful, and extremely loyal to Duo Weiyan. This tallest guy was quite conspicuous among the grassland guards.

"It's three years and two months! I didn't expect that King Khan would still remember such a small character like me." Yagmo stood up respectfully, with two long hair hanging down from the double bun wearing a prairie leather hat and helmet. The long braids make people feel a bit funny if they are not enough

"The left leader of the Prairie Duowei Tribe, with 30,000 wind troops and powerful cavalry under his command, shocked the grassland! If you are also a small character, then Trili Rashad, the patriarch of the Tripoli City Tribe, one of the eight grassland tribes who was defeated by you in winter, is a You're a clown who can't stand on the stage anymore!" The fat man waved his hand indifferently.

In winter, Fatty received a report from the border guards from Bertrand Bonnie. With the growing strength of the Duowei tribe, the expansion of power has touched the Teli City Department, one of the eight grassland tribes. Since the Western Han Dynasty was defeated by Weixia, Khan Almost all of the pastures in the northern part of the courtyard fall into the eight divisions In the hands of one of the Teli City Tribes, with the southward migration of the grassland tribes, the Western Grassland has formed a southern region centered on Ai Chemoer controlled by the Duowei Tribe, where most of the Xiting Tribes and the Teli City Tribe are concentrated. The northern part of the western steppe centered on Moroto is controlled by the Ministry of

When Yagmo heard the fat man's words, his face changed, and he lowered his head in fear and replied, "Last winter, the Teli City Department, one of the eight grassland tribes, wanted to cross the designated grassland with its strong military strength. Master Yan had no choice but to order his subordinates. Lead the wind army to the border, hoping to To intimidate them, before the battle began, the Teli City Department was already afraid and chose to withdraw. This was all due to His Majesty's reputation! Master Yan specifically asked that the Duowei Department have such status and power today because of it. Clinging to your majesty’s big tree! “

"After this marriage with the empire, what is Duo Weiyan going to do?"

The fat man turned around, glanced across the face of the frightened grassland warrior like a knife, and suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "According to the current power of the Duowei tribe, he spent so much effort, if it was really for that so-called The balance of grassland interests is really a joke. When did Duo Weiyan start paying attention to balance? "

"I don't understand, what does Your Majesty mean?" Yagmo's dark red face turned pale, and there was faint sweat on his forehead.

"Have I lost my hearing? The fat man's face was slightly cold. He snorted with disdain!" I want to unite all races to attack the Tripoli City Headquarters. Even from Opalo across the sea, I can hear it. That restless beating sound! "

"Your Majesty!" Yagmo's face turned completely pale, and he knelt down in front of the fat man and said in a trembling voice, "Master Yan does have the intention to attack Teli City, but Master Yan is also loyal to Your Majesty, and this time he advocates marriage. It’s Mr. Yan’s loyalty. Everyone knows that Mr. Yan is the most loyal person. The one he loves most is Princess Dunya. Moreover, Master Yan has not yet had an heir. This is a very serious matter for the grassland tribe. Master Yan specifically stated when he set off this time that he hoped that your majesty would allow Princess Dunya to have a son. Serving as the next generation leader of the Duowei tribe"

"Did Duo Weiyan really say that?" A trace of astonishment flashed across the fat man's face.

"It's absolutely true, I promise with this humble head!" Yagmo Gui knelt in front of the fat man with a determined look on his face.

Looking at His Majesty Falcon's ruthless and ruthless decisiveness in dealing with the Salander expeditionary force, you will know that once the Duowei tribe becomes a force that threatens the empire. The sword in the hands of His Majesty Falcon will also be swung down without hesitation. No one can resist the army of the empire. When the iron hooves of the empire gather under the flag of Falcon, even the most powerful prairie warriors will tremble in despair. This kind of Under such circumstances, if the Duowei tribe wants to continue to develop, it must show sufficient loyalty.

This is what Duo Weiyan said to his subordinates at the tribal meeting where the marriage decision was made,

"Get up, no matter what you say is true or false, I have never doubted my loyalty to Duo Weiyan!"

The fat man took a deep breath and waved his hand to Duo Weiyan's confidant. In fact, he certainly knew that Duo Weiyan had put so much effort into this time and was determined to send his sister into his harem. It's clear as day,

July was the day when I promised to go to the northern grassland. Although the road from the north of Wekia to the northern grassland was connected, it would take more than half a month at the fastest speed. This was still under the condition of continuous horse changes along the way.

On the eve of leaving Salander, a small-scale dance was held in the hall of Starlight Palace. Tomorrow he would embark on the arduous journey north. Fatty hoped to have a peaceful night alone with his women. If As for the bedroom, the area there was too small, and it seemed that he was about to leave again. In the middle of the dance, the fat man left the dance in the hall and came to the balcony outside the temple hall, where there was already a charming and charming figure. waiting

"I knew you would definitely come here!" Mao Monaqing gave him a very pretty look. The Starlight Palace has a beautiful scenery. Under the starlight in the sky, you can overlook the temple not far away from the mountainside. The city of Salander Kyoto is filled with lights. The dense lights are like a huge river of light illuminating the land in the distance. Sitting under such a night sky is an unforgettable and magnificent sight.

The fat man especially couldn't stand Mao Monaqing's slightly sad eyes, especially her "sensibleness" that he had emphasized to other girls and asked them to learn. He couldn't help but feel a little heartache. He thought about it seriously and said, "You Those resentful eyes, do you hate me for marrying another wife?"

Mao Mo Naqing looked into the distance and said with a wry smile, "What's going on, Your Majesty? You are the emperor. This means you are not destined to belong to a woman. I have no time to care about how many women you have!" Fatty Seeing that it was not for this reason, he felt a headache, and he guessed, "Is it because I haven't come back for so long?"

Mao Monaqing kissed the fat man softly and said, "When you marry an emperor, you naturally have to have such a consciousness, not to mention you are an emperor who likes to expand territory. Now that you are by my side, who else will?" Will you remember how long you have been away?"

Mao Mo Naqing stopped speaking, looked at him with bright eyes, winked playfully, and smiled sweetly, "If I give you another chance, I won't accompany you tonight!!"

The fat man had a headache for the mother of his child, who was still a gorgeous beauty. When her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, an idea suddenly came to her mind. Without telling her, she deliberately teased her and said, "Then it won't be a disaster this time. If I don't guess correctly, you won't have to stay alone in the empty room!"

Mao Mo Naqing didn't expect the fat man to be so helpless. She stepped on the back of the fat man's feet angrily and funnyly, and couldn't help but said, "Stop lying to me. I know you guessed it. Please tell them! Everyone will listen tonight." It’s yours. Whatever you want.”

The fat man's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He couldn't bear to tease this beautiful woman who had haunted him in dreams and had shared weal and woe with him. He kissed the peerless princess's face as smooth as an egg shell and said, "Are you thinking about my move north to the grassland this time?" , I’m afraid that the war will rekindle on the earth. I know you are a pacifist, but I didn’t expect that after so many years and seeing the cruelty of the unification war, you still haven’t changed!”

"I don't know why. Or maybe I always firmly believe that peace is more beneficial to the people than war. This is what grandpa has always warned us!" Mao Monaqing nodded solemnly, looking at the distance like light The river-like Salander Kyoto said, "The development of the Duowei Tribe in the northern grasslands has reached a bottleneck. With 80,000 troops lying across thousands of miles of grassland, this is the maximum tolerance that His Majesty can tolerate for the Duowei Tribe. Back then, His Majesty supported the Duowei Tribe. The reason for the rise of Dongting is to balance the Duowei tribe in the West Grassland. The reason why Dongting dares to rise is because the commander-in-chief of Dongting’s army is his Majesty’s woman. In this status, she is very interested in the rise of Dongting. You can be more tolerant. In any case, the East Courtyard is your own property after all, just like a part of the weeds that accidentally grew up in your field. No matter how the power develops, it is always under control.

But the Duowei tribe does not have such conditions. Marriage is the only way to untie this knot. Of course, Duoweiyan must have his own ideas. Although the brother-in-law who sticks to the door has the face of an inland noble, After several years of brutal struggle, he has become an out-and-out grassland tyrant. The bloodline of the grassland wolf cannot be underestimated. It is estimated that the marriage in this brother-in-law's mind is not just as simple as strengthening the Duowei tribe's position in the empire.

To bring the relationship between the two parties closer, they also have a plan to wait for the marriage and immediately use the influence of the marriage to unite all the ethnic groups in the Western Prairie to launch a comprehensive crusade against the Teli City that occupies the northern grassland, and completely eliminate the biggest enemy in the Western Prairie in one fell swoop, allowing Duo to The idea of ​​the Ministry of Health becoming the largest force in the Western Grassland. Under such temptation, it is not difficult to understand Duo Weiyan's determination for this marriage! "Mao Mo Naqing's gentle whispers describe the extremely cold rules of survival. Under such a beautiful night sky, it makes the night wind add a bit of chill.

"Now that you know it, you still deliberately made this happen! If you hadn't acquiesced to this matter later, Duo Weiyan alone would never have been able to accomplish this!" The fat man looked at her angrily, Xingguang There is a sense of holiness in the hair under the hair, which makes people want to knead it. Moreover, there is a bit of drunkenness on the face, which makes it look even more attractive.

"I won't tell you anymore. You always think of people in dark ways!"

Mao Mo Naqing stuck out her tongue, raised her head, and looked deeply at the long shadows of the winding mountains in the distance in the dark night and said, "This matter is really not my fault. It is the former Khan of the Western Grassland himself." To come forward, the Ministry of Defense issued a letter to the son of His Majesty and Felantonya. The conditions for serving as the next clan leader, coupled with the simultaneous pressure from the Huran tribe and the Dillens tribe in the south, even if I have just given birth to a son and established a sufficient status, I still need to consider such an alliance. I am in this matter The thing is to remain neutral! "

"Actually, this marriage is a good choice. I know that Your Majesty has a headache about the grassland. Now it's better. Both the east and west courts are truly under His Majesty's control. If His Majesty's son really serves as the leader of the Duowei tribe, then at least It can guarantee stability for more than a hundred years. "Mao Monaqing's face showed a somewhat holy aura." I believe that the grassland without war must be as beautiful as this one! "

At this time, the beautiful Grand Duchess, who was a bit drunk, actually pulled the embarrassed Dylan Schiss to the side, patted Mauna Qing's shoulders politely and said, "Good sister! You and Your Majesty are here. What are you talking about? Let’s give it to Qisi, and then it’s my turn. How about we go to bed together as usual?”

Mao Monaqing smiled slightly, and rolled her eyes at the embarrassed fat man again, took Nilai's hand, and said with a nonchalant smile, "What my sister said is so heartfelt to my sister, but it's a pity that it's already here." In the second half of the night, I just don’t know if someone still has that kind of energy and time before leaving.”

The fat man looked at the two half-drunk female hooligans and Dylan Skis, whose head almost buried in her chest. He stared blankly and sighed, "Although I really want to! But I can't agree to this kind of thing." It’s an unreasonable requirement because I have to ride a horse continuously for half a month, which is simply torture!”

"One after another, even if it is, you brought it on yourself!" The two women turned their heads at the same time.

Happy May Day, and I wish everyone who works hard for their dreams will realize their dreams like a fat man as soon as possible. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
