Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 183: Mother and son reunion

To be honest, when Richard met again with Queen Mary, who had been imprisoned for six years, he was a little uneasy, because he was not the real Richard, he was just a soul from the 21st century earth. , And the real Richard's soul disappeared not long ago.

"Richard, my son, is it really you?" Compared to Richard's anxiety, Queen Mary was crying with joy. Her thin body, which had been imprisoned all the year round, trembled and couldn't help but stretch. She stretched out a hand to touch the face of her beloved son, but she only stretched out half of it and then immediately retracted. She didn't want Richard to see the skin of her hands, the skin that had become pale because of not seeing the sun all the year round.

Richard caught her action in the bottom of his eyes, and a trace of sorrow flashed in his heart. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Queen Mary's hand that wanted to retract, feeling the cold skin, and finally said: "It's me, Mother……"

"My Richard has grown up like this..." Before she finished speaking, Queen Mary couldn't cry, making the faces of the soldiers watching all this show sadness.

Seeing this crying mother, Richard was also very upset. He gently hugged Queen Mary into his arms and slapped her thin back, trying to make his tone calm: "Mother , I came back, I killed Jutian, I took back the kingdom belonging to our family, and I did it."

"Jutian is dead?" Upon hearing that Jutian was killed, Queen Mary suddenly raised her head, looked at Richard with her red eyes, and asked: "Why did he die?"

"He refused to surrender on the battlefield and was shot by me." Richard said. He did not tell Mary that Bandak had been shot together. He was afraid that Mary would become more saddened by the news of his brother's death.

However, in the next second, Mary asked Bandak: "What about Bandak? Didn't Jutian say that he wants to deal with you with Bandak?"

"Bandak..." Richard hesitated, but chose to tell the truth, "He and Jutian fought together to the last moment..."

Richard didn't say everything, and in fact, Mary could guess Bandak's final fate from this sentence.

The news of her brother’s death diminished the joy of reunion with her son. Mary became silent. Seeing her like this, Richard quickly changed the subject and turned the subject to business, saying: "Mother, after stabilizing Nord City, I I am going to issue a final statement to the lords of Urif, Osrig and Premi, asking them to submit to me. If they refuse to submit, I will send troops to forcibly reclaim their territory."

"Fredry, Earl of Primi, is biased towards our family. When Jutian launched the rebellion, he also summoned the king of Qin to other nobles in the kingdom, and personally led the army to the royal capital, only before he arrived. Tian has already won the victory and won the support of other nobles. Frederic can only submit to Jutian."

"What about Earl Uliffe and Earl Osrig?" Richard asked, while writing down the name Frederic in his heart.

"Earl of Ulif Enskeza and Count of Osrigg Harindabel are allies of Jutian. I don’t think they will easily submit to you. What's more, Urif is close to the Republic of Cunha. Sksar has the support of the Cunhas, and it is even more impossible to submit to you."

Listening to Queen Mary's words, Richard sneered and said: "Then we can only use war to solve the problem."

"My child, maybe six years ago I would not like your way of solving problems with war, but after experiencing the Jutian rebellion, I will not object anymore." Mary said, with hatred in her eyes. meaning.

"I will make anyone who has betrayed our family regret it." Richard soothed, and he then remembered one more thing, saying: "Mother, the trial of Jutian Yudang will be conducted in two days. Before this, I want you to identify the nobles in the city who have participated in or supported the rebellion, and let the sacred judgment fall on them."

"It's no problem, I'll go and identify it." Mary nodded and agreed. She then asked: "What are you going to do with Jutian's widows Audrey and Simon?"

"I promised them that I would not kill them painfully, but that doesn't mean I won't deal with them." Richard said coldly: "The crimes committed by Zhu Tianan need to be borne by them, and I will take care of them. They are locked in Gabefelta and let them rot in for the rest of their lives!"

...

In the next few days, Richard’s focus was on stabilizing the order of the city and restoring rule. He also wrote to Earl Ulif and Earl Osritta (he already knew the news of Osritta’s death in battle, so The envelope is written to the heirs of Harin Dabel) and the Earl of Primi~lightnovelpub.net~ request the three lords to submit to the new regime. In the letter, Richard swore with family honor that they would not blame for their previous actions. The content is written like this, but I don’t know if it works.

Two days later, a large-scale trial was held on Balgre Square. Nearly a hundred nobles and merchants, including the former diplomat Mild, were arrested and walked up one by one under the custody of heavily armed and heavily armed sergeants. On the temporary high platform, Vice-General Kondela personally pronounced the charges.

Under Condela’s reading, 29 people, including Mild, were hanged, 68 were executed (beheaded), and 33 were exiled. All their property was confiscated, and their family members were driven out of the house. They could only live on the streets in this cold winter. They might see their frozen bodies on the street one day.

As Juttian’s widow, Queen Audrey and Prince Simon were not imprisoned in Gabefelta in the end. On a dark and windy night for a month, Queen Audrey, who was wrapped in a black robe, sneaked away. Entered Richard's room and spent the night in it. On the second day, Richard suddenly changed his handling of the two and changed to deportation.

However, the fact that all Chinese understand the roots of grass and roots, Richard is also very clear. Shortly after the carriage carrying Queen Audrey and Prince Simon drove out of the Kingdom of Winster and entered the territory of the Duchy of Lasik, the carriage was robbed. The bandits attacked, three people including the coachman were killed, and the traces on the scene were cleaned up. No one knew about it.

Of course, this is something later.

Now Richard is not only having a headache about how to govern the new kingdom, but also busy preparing for the coronation ceremony. Although he is not in a hurry to be crowned, due to Mary's urging, he can only put this matter on the table in advance... …
