Realm of Power

Please enter the text. Outside the window, the wind and snow filled the ground. The fat man casually closed a document in his hand and looked at the two Northern 6 nobles who were already stunned with fear when they entered the room.

"Is it His Majesty Falcon?"

Duke Geng Di mustered up his courage and asked with a respectful expression. Even a veteran nobleman who had seen all kinds of things in the world would still be embarrassed when facing an emperor. What's more, the young man in front of him turned out to be as black as ink. A pair of black pupils, the moment he raised his head, Duke Geng Di could feel that the eyes were as bright and dazzling as the stars in the sky. Under the eyes, there was enough pressure to make everything invisible.

"What a scary look"

It seems that all the secrets are invisible under such a gaze. The King's Eyes, thinking of this word often mentioned in outside rumors, Duke Geng Di is already very sure that the person in front of him is the supreme emperor. It was said that the emperor of the Falcon Empire actually had the face of a Central Asian. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

"Didn't anyone tell you who you were meeting?" The fat man didn't answer but frowned slightly in a pretentious manner.

Rushed, so. Look..." Duke Geng Di lowered his head in embarrassment. It's true that no one told them. Even if someone told them, they still have to believe it. Who would have thought that the emperor would personally come to the front line of the battle?

"Forget it." The fat man shook his head and stretched out his hand to the two of them. "You two are also guests of the empire, so just sit down! We are all smart people. I won't beat around the bush on some things. I believe you two already know how to jointly attack Regarding the announcement, Feize's royal family betrayed their trust, massacred their officers, and massacred their own vassals, and..." The fat man paused, glanced at the two of them, and continued, "Persecute the nobles!"

"Does Your Majesty want us to make an announcement?" Duke Geng Di's face turned slightly pale. The two of them had already felt this, but they didn't expect it. His Majesty the Emperor really didn't mince words at all, so he simply asked directly. After hesitating for a moment, Duke Geng Di said in a slightly trembling voice, "The announcement is not a problem. But I want to know, what are the benefits to us?"

"You have been stuck in Kyoto for more than a month. Now that you have the opportunity to go, what benefits do you want?" The fat man's face darkened slightly, and there was already a cold atmosphere in the room. It even feels like ice.

"We can't care about what happens to the Fezer royal family, but we hope that the empire will not interfere in the North 6"

Duke Geng Di straightened his neck, took a deep breath, and made such a request with a pale face. In fact, his back was already cold. The emperor in front of him was not the kind of emperor who inherited it, but killed it with one hand. A true hero, such a character, has not been seen for five or six hundred years. What's more, in the current situation, the imperial army has destroyed the main force of the royal army, and the next step is to sweep across the entire royal capital. With the army pressing down, to put it bluntly, millions of creatures in the entire royal capital are now looking up to this man. Under the emperor's breath, there was a slight dissatisfaction, maybe because of the tragic death of many people, and he wanted to bargain face to face with the imperial hero. What is needed is not only courage and courage, but also true determination, just like Geng Di appeared in front of the Feize Palace ten years ago wearing heavy armor and leading hundreds of nobles from the Northern Territory. If it had not expressed such determination, the military would not have finally made concessions.

"What if I don't agree?"

The fat man was not angry but smiling in his seat. When dealing with these nobles, the fat man did not deal with them once or twice. The biggest characteristic of the nobles was that they knew how to choose between advancement and retreat. Knowing which side to stand at the critical moment and being able to become the head of the family, which one does not know the trade-off between interests, so the best way is to spread out and say that he has seen the intelligence of the two of them, the older one Some, the one with a head as pale as snow, is none other than Duke Geng Di, the most prestigious among the aristocratic army. He is thin, but listens. When he heard what he said, a middle-aged man with a bit of arrogance and ambition flashed in his eyes. He was Carruth, the head of the Kirby family, one of the largest aristocratic families in the North 6. One of these two people represents the hope of maintaining the interests of the North 6. The interests of the old aristocrats were distributed, while the other obviously represented the interests of the new aristocrats who wanted to make changes in the chaos.

As one of the three major interest groups that can compete with the royal family and the military, the nobles of Northern 6 have complex internal factions, but because of their marriage relationships, they are rarely stable. As long as a decision is made, the entire Northern 6 will be affected. Standing together, we are all honored and humiliated. This is the principle that allows the nobles of Northern 6 to stand firm in the confrontation between the royal family and the military. Although the two represent different factions, in fact, Duke Geng Di happens to be the uncle of Duke Carruth. The two families have been married for sixty or seventy years. When it comes time to make a decision on interests, the two finally I will still choose a compromise method.

Such a combination can take into account the interests of the entire Beilu Group, and will not suffer heavy losses due to one person's selfishness. From such candidates, Fatty can already see that what the Beilu nobles really want is to keep One-third of one acre of land

Feizebei 6 is actually of no importance to the empire. The empire's main strategy is still coastal and core areas, such as semi-barren and semi-mountainous areas like Feizebei 6. The empire does not pay attention to them at all. To put it bluntly, it is invested. No matter how much money you have, it is still a bottomless pit of water. Only local aborigines like the nobles of Beilu will guard this kind of money-losing product as a treasure!

"Then even if we are eventually overwhelmed by the imperial army, we will never make any announcement!" Duke Geng Di said.

"Does it matter a lot? Most of the main force of King Feize's army has been lost. The remaining ones are only 40,000 to 50,000 people from Kurudia. The imperial army totals 300,000 people. Your announcement is actually of little significance." The fat man had a calm face, and gently rubbed a ring on his finger. The black ring was engraved with a falcon with spread wings, and behind him were large snowflakes flying outside the glass window. "Your Majesty, please don't tell jokes at this moment."

Hearing the emperor's words, Duke Geng Di's eyes sparkled and he said resolutely, clenching his hands into fists, "If it is so easy, your majesty must have ordered the army to move in. Although we are stupid, we can see that the empire needs This noble notice is to achieve a just crusade against Feize." Duke Geng Di paused and continued, "The royal family of Feize strangled the vassals who disobeyed orders and suppressed the military rebellion. To put it bluntly, it was actually nothing more. These are all Fezer's internal problems and have little to do with the reputation of the royal family. The royal power already has such power. It seems that only the massacre of the country's nobles is the most serious crime that shakes its royal status. And what the empire needs is not this most powerful thing. This is an important declaration. Only this declaration can truly allow the empire to hold on to the name of a just crusade. Otherwise, no matter how it is explained, it will be a naked invasion! "

"The North-South War? It's not that it hasn't been fought before. I don't care. The empire's millions of troops are still on the inland sea line, ready to fight at any time. As for the name, have you forgotten the great prince of Feize? Then Your Highness, the prince, announced his support for the new king half a month ago!"

The fat man stretched and rolled his eyes flatly. He was indeed the leader of the aristocracy who single-handedly put the current king on the throne ten years ago. This vision may not be great, but when it comes to righteousness, it is quite sharp. It actually directly changed the massacre of vassals to punishing disobedient vassals, and the civil war was changed to suppressing the rebellion of military elements, so to speak. , it is really the legitimate rights of the royal family! If you think you have grasped the destiny of the empire to send troops this time, you would be too naive. You have been planning for so long, how can you just have one plan!

"this……"

Duke Geng Di looked ugly. The momentum he had just gained was immediately shattered. Yes, Prince Feize was still in the hands of the empire. Although the provinces outside the royal capital are all claiming to support the eldest prince, in fact everyone knows that the eldest prince is just a puppet with nothing. The remaining tens of thousands of border guards and the prince's troops are actually all The Empire is in control and has such a trump card in hand. The importance of the noble's declaration seemed dispensable. It turned out that what I had been planning was just a dispensable card in the opponent's hand. In this case, what qualifications did I have to make such nonsense here?

"Actually, if the empire doesn't enter Beilu, there's nothing to talk about!" The fat man glanced at the two dejected people, and smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth. Is it just you who are playing tricks?

"What conditions does Your Majesty want?" The frustrated Duke Gengdi immediately became energetic. His wrinkled eyes were full of excitement. He originally thought there was no hope, but he didn't expect that the other party actually took the initiative to express his position. As long as the empire is willing to talk, everything will be easy to handle. , as long as it does not involve too core interests, it is acceptable to make some trade-offs. When he came, Duke Geng Di did not have various ideas.

"It's very simple. I need your sincerity and your sincerity to submit to the empire. Otherwise, I really can't find a reason for the empire not to march into Beilu."

The fat man stood up with a stern look and looked out the window at the bright white ground. The imperial flags were rolling like a sea around the castle. More than thirty miles ahead was the capital of King Feize, where troops were suspended for reorganization. In fact, Duke Geng Di Part of the reason is right, that is, the empire cannot attack the hornet's nest of King Feize without a legitimate name. Once it is defeated, it will be a big trouble for the empire's expansion in the entire south. Attacking Feize's army can still be regarded as a war. The southern countries may not be willing to go to war directly with the empire because of this, but capturing a king's capital is A truly naked occupation, which was a considerable risk when the attitudes of the southern countries were still unclear.

"Sincerity?" Duke Geng Di was stunned, and so was Kalus. What is sincerity? This scope is too general

"Three days later, the imperial army will begin to march from Fort Lahra to King Feize." The fat man turned around from the window, his voice was as cold as a knife and made people feel embarrassed, and said coldly, "King Feize There are currently only less than 40,000 imperial guards of Kaludia. In order to block the advance of the Imperial Army, Krudia's 40,000 troops will be deployed in front of the Imperial Army. Once the war breaks out, they will be unable to take care of it. "Direction of the Royal Capital"

"What does this mean?" Duke Geng Di's body trembled suddenly, and Kallus was even more confused. What is the connection between sincerity and the attack of the imperial army?

"Didn't the Duke already know it clearly? Why bother to ask even though he already knew it?" The fat man said with a half-smile expression on his face.

"Your Majesty means that we should seize the opportunity to raid the royal capital behind your back!" Grand Duke Geng Di gritted his teeth. The boss with bulging eyes was worthy of being an elite of the older generation. He immediately understood the meaning of the emperor's sincerity. The attention of King Feize is entirely on the emperor. If the noble army launches a sudden attack at that time, and the connection between the noble army and the nobles in the city, it will definitely have a 100% success rate.

The emperor himself did not attack Feize Capital, but pushed the blame for Feize Capital to the noble army. This move made even people like Duke Geng Di want to applaud. If it was Feize The Ze nobles attacked the royal capital, so the war that ultimately destroyed the entire Feize royal family cannot be blamed on the empire.

"The crime of attacking the royal capital is not a small one, and there are many nobles in the royal capital who have connections with us."

Kalus also came out of a trance at this moment, his expression pale. At this moment, he realized that compared with the old nobles like Duke Gengdi who had experienced the truly cruel era ten years ago, a new-style noble like himself, no matter in reaction or courage, His spirit was obviously much worse. Bargaining with the emperor was something he couldn't do even if he beat himself to death, let alone see through the emperor's intentions at a glance.

"You don't have to do it. The empire will not force you. Again, the empire will not attack until three days later. You have enough time to think about it!"

The emperor sat down calmly, but the two northern nobles had solemn expressions. Their eyes were fixed on the window behind the emperor. Through the half-obscured glass with ice fog, as far as the eye could see, groups of imperial heavy cavalry stepped in. A burst of white snow rolled up in the spreading snow. From the position of this window, which is so condescending, you can look down as if from the sky above your head. The heavy armored spear of the imperial cavalry cuts through the snow like a huge half arc. the land ahead,

"You have many contacts with the nobles of the royal capital in the city. I believe you will make a decision." The corner of the fat man's mouth turned up slightly, and he waved his hand slightly to indicate that they could leave. "If it is replaced by the empire attacking the city, I'm afraid it will be jade by then." As a result, everyone will be burned. If you go, you can still To minimize the losses, I am actually not a person who likes killing. I hope that when the emperor arrives at the royal capital, there will be no nobles in the city." The emperor's voice suddenly paused, his eyes were cold, and he felt cold. Spreading in the hearts of two Northern 6 nobles

"Isn't there a single noble? We understand." Duke Geng Di trembled slightly and took a deep breath. Those who are willing to follow the nobles of Beilu are forgotten. The royal family who is the enemy of the nobles of Beilu is also a noble. If you don't take them away, Kill them on the spot! Only in this way will there be no nobles in the city. This should be what the Falcon Emperor meant!

I have been hesitating for the past few days about whether to end it after playing Feize. Finally, my wife said, "You have written nine million words, why should you climb over the threshold of ten million words? If it is over, You will regret it for the rest of your life. "Bao Zi suddenly realized that it is already nine million. Let me climb over ten million. A work with ten million words and a work with nine million words are completely different things. A person who travels a hundred miles can only travel a hundred miles." ninety! I will persist, don’t scold me, don’t hit me, remember, don’t slap me in the face!
