Black Iron Crown

Chapter 640: Like a broken bamboo

   The little emperor naturally heard these remarks in the palace. Although no one dared to chew his tongue casually in front of him, there would always be some rumors in his ears.

   In addition, he also has his own central and serious descendants, it is difficult for these news to escape his eyes and ears.

   After hearing such news, he was naturally very annoyed. After dealing with a part of everyone violently, he learned that the news had almost spread throughout half of the empire.

   The anger in his heart is already beyond him, and he knows how much obstacles such remarks will cause to his rule.

   If you put it at other times, he doesn't need to worry about it, especially when he first took office, he was just in full swing.

   Even if this kind of news is well-thought-out, there are probably not many people who believe it.

   But now I have just suffered a terrible defeat, and the western countries have assembled because of the jihadist decree. They look at the empire, and their prestige can be said to have plummeted.

   Such a "rumor" appeared at this time, naturally, it has a very strong effect.

   The little emperor immediately ordered people to suppress such "nonsense", but as time passed, a large number of people were caught in the dungeon by his guards, but they still couldn't stop the spread of such "rumors".

   is spreading in a more vigorous situation.

   There is no other reason, but the credibility is too high.

   The original Earl of Redmara had red hair, which is something everyone knows.

   And the Morand family all have yellow hair, which is also known to everyone.

   As the nominal son of the old emperor, the little emperor has reddish-brown hair. How can he not be suspicious?

The role of    blood lineage is extremely important in this era.

   It is absolutely impossible for a lowly pedigree to occupy a high position.

   Even if there are serfs or self-employed farmers who become nobles because of their merits, they will be scorned and discriminated against by the old nobles because of their sludge-like lowly blood.

   Only when their family has been passed down for more than three generations will they be accepted by the noble circle.

   Otherwise, suddenly from the bottom of the mud legs, it is useless even if you fight down a dynasty, no nobleman will join you, because it is an insult to his family blood.

   And the Merland family can build a stable empire after destroying so many countries, because the blood is noble and long enough.

   This family was the noblest group of tribal leaders when the Redka nation was still a wild man in the forest.

   In the days after all ethnic groups walked out of the forest and established their country on the plain, the Merland family has always been a royal family and has never been cut off.

   Such noble blood is enough to command any noble lord.

   But the blood of Count Redmara is obviously not so noble.

   On the contrary, as the new aristocrats, whether in the eyes of the royal family, or in the eyes of the old aristocrats in those countries conquered by the empire, they are all lowliness.

   At the beginning, Earl Redmara’s father was nothing more than a squire, but he did well in the War of Unification. This made the old emperor look at him differently and gave him the title of earl.

   used to be just a mud-legged man. By luck, he became a nobleman. His son still wants to give orders on the position of the emperor?

Many people have other ideas in their minds. Many people no longer doubt the authenticity of what Leiner said. One hair color can prove many things. In addition, the Grand Duke Leiner of the Northern Territory has already vowed to set off. It is clear who the emperor of the first term is.

   The little emperor is not only facing the jihad of the Western countries, but also facing the offensive of the first strong army in the north that day. The situation is so dangerous that many people are already looking for another way out.

   The little emperor is aloof, but he does not live in the sky.

   He also knows the thoughts and thoughts of the people below, and his heart is full of anxiety and anger.

   Annoyed, he came to the room where his mother was under house arrest. These rumors made him a little suspicious.

   "My dear mother... Some people say that I am the child of Count Redmara, is this true?" the little emperor asked tentatively.

   Actually, he already had some guesses in his mind.

   At that time, he hated Count Redmara and must hang him. A very important part of the reason was that he witnessed the adultery between him and his mother.

   Now that there is such an adultery, is it incredible to have a child?

   The Queen was very haggard when she was under house arrest here.

   Lost the extravagant life of the past, and because of the death of Count Redmara, she is no longer beautiful and moving.

  The queen glanced at herself, the son who was originally called the born emperor, and said helplessly: "Yes, you are the son of Count Redmara..."

   "This..." After listening to the little emperor, he only felt that blood rushed into his brain for an instant, a kind of bewilderment enveloped his heart.

   No matter how guessed in his heart, when he heard the news with his own ears, it still sounded like thunder in his ears.

   This almost subverted his past values ​​and beliefs.

  His ideal is to build an unparalleled accomplishment like his "father" Kafit the Great.

   But now I have been told that the emperor he admired since he was a child is not his father, which is no less than five thunderstorms for him.

   The little emperor digested in despair for a while, looking at the expression of his son, the queen asked: "Why? Someone has done this?"

   The little emperor nodded blankly, he hardly knew what to do.

   "I killed my father?" This was the little emperor's first thought after he had difficulty accepting that he was not the parent and child of Emperor Caffet.

   Seeing the little emperor nodded, the empress also showed a bitter smile.

   A few tears appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he raised his head and closed his eyes.

   "In order not to expose his identity, you did not hesitate to pay the price of your life, but now you still have to face all this..."

   The queen's heart was full of sadness: "Could it be that... I did something wrong?"

   She suddenly felt that the death of Count Redmara was very worthless. In order to stabilize the status and authority of the emperor~lightnovelpub.net~, she did not hesitate to let her die in the hands of her own son, but in the end she still had to face the issue of bloodliness.

   The little emperor left the queen's room in despair, almost forgetting everything.

   At this time, Rainer was leading the army to the border between the Grand Duchy of the North and the Empire.

  Due to the last cession of territory, the border between the two sides is no more than 600 kilometers away from the imperial capital, and it only takes one month to reach the border at full speed.

   November 9th, 32nd year of the Empire.

  Rainer is only 300 kilometers away from the imperial capital.

   He has already conquered twenty-five fortresses all the way, including two high-altitude fortresses heavily guarded.

   It was just a month, and it was so siege, almost as if no one could stop it.

   In addition to the strong strength of the Northern Army, one of the biggest reasons is that the previous messages have worked.

  The people in the fortresses are more willing to be loyal to the Merland family than the **** emperor who steals the throne with a lowly bloodline.

   Therefore, after seeing an endless stream of golden lion flags symbolizing the various branches of the Merland family, many castles immediately chose to open the city and surrender, almost without causing any obstacles to Reiner.
