The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

v8 Chapter 826: "Emperor" feast

I don't know when, there are already several people standing at the door.

Some people are very familiar with His Majesty Emperor Iken, who has been regarded as a mascot by Yang Fengyin illegally; there are military and strategic advisers of His Majesty the Emperor who are also familiar with each other, and Marquis Gerbert, who is also a member of the Privy Council; also others are not very familiar, But as long as I have seen, I will never forget and never like the magic advisor. All day long, he hides his head and wraps himself like a mummy magic advisor Mr. Bartoli; of course, there are also people who are too familiar to be familiar with, but before I do n’t like it very much, but now I feel extremely disgusted and excluded. They regard them as two old colleagues of the “Betrayers”, the commanders of the 2nd and 11th Legions, Count Franmere and Viscount Agrit.

These two are all of the twelve regiments under the central government, and the only one to take the oath of allegiance to the Emperor Iken with the troops under his command. Their actions made the Emperor Iken suddenly add 40,000 well-equipped, fully-powered, fully-produced professional soldiers, and became the strongest military card in the hands of the stormy Oakland Supreme. But the biggest problem is that there are also five other corps of more than 100,000 professional soldiers in the vicinity of the imperial city. Therefore, no matter whether it was the Battle of Honghe or the Battle of Hering City, even at the most dangerous juncture, the emperor did not dare to transfer his most powerful base ≥≥≥≥, m.♀≡om card out of the emperor capital, more It doesn't have to be the north and the world's first princess Her Royal Highness.

Count Framir of the Second Legion was a graceful and middle-aged man, who looked like a civil bureaucrat born to a noble aristocratic vote, and he laughed with harmony; while the Viscount Agrit of the Fourth Legion was a His eyes are sharp and his face fierce. People with thin bodies are indeed quite capable soldiers. Unfortunately. He always likes to cut people with his eyes narrowed, and inexplicably gives people a gloomy feel like a snake.

we all know. For the most part, politics is the art of compromise and balance. Even a strongman like the Great Guyus cannot cover everything. He and Queen Estil will carry out military reforms and establish a national central army directly under the royal court, which will naturally be resisted by the princes and lords. Therefore, after playing with a series of beautiful political wrists, the Sun Kings did win the final victory, but at the same time they had to make some compromises, so that some children or dead parties of the princes and princes occupied the important positions of the central army. The Earl of Flamir and the Viscount of Agrit are the products of this balance.

or. The victory was achieved only by the leadership of the two legions. This is clear enough that the political tactics of the Sun Kings have been flexible and precise to be amazing.

The person who spoke just now is Count Framir. His voice has the same impression as his appearance temperament, and he has a feeling of grace, gentleness and calmness. It is easy for ordinary people to be very disappointed by this temperament, calling it a true aristocratic style, but looking at it in the army His uncomfortable iron man often jokingly called it "dough".

"My martial arts people, except Wu Xun who defends our country and our country. What we want to pursue is nothing more than a last name." The Earl of Flamir told his friends decently: "Honor is my life, loyalty is my heart, This is the motto of the ancient ancestors when they built the empire. Today, if we abandon our honor and loyalty, we will surely shame the ancestors of Auckland? "

It's really a eloquent speech, but it's totally useless for the presence of the hundred battle generals. In the opinion of the generals, the content of this "dough" speech is too deliberate and too rigid. It is clear that it is "obeying the orders of the new emperor to everyone, and it is true loyalty and honor to the warriors in Auckland".

"Every one of us set up Wu Xun that made Auckland glorious. Except you. Flammy Secretary." Baron Lulkus looked at each other with a sneer. "Wait until you are really a famous ship as a warrior It ’s not too late to discuss honor and loyalty with us again. "

then. In the eyes of everyone, the dough swelled up like this, as if it had been cooked by the stove.

The old marshal Count Cornelius did not even look at Flamir with his eyes, as if to him, the commander of the second legion was simply an insignificant background figure. The old man stood up with a gesture that did not seem to be brisk, still using his gentle and gentle voice, the emperor spoke slowly: "Your Majesty, pay tribute to you. Seeing your health is still very gratifying for the officials and others."

With the movement of the old man, all the generals present stood up, and even Sir Proll, who was most disdainful of the new emperor in his bones, was no exception. After all, everyone is an adult, even if it is reckless, at least there will be some manners, and they do not need to slap the emperor's face on some minor issues.

"It should be my tribute to you, Your Excellency, Marshal." Emperor Iken spoke in a polite way, with the qualifications and merits of Marshal Cornelius, of course, deserves the respect of an Emperor of Auckland. Of course, because of the character of Emperor Iken, even if he spoke politely, others would not feel any warmth at all.

According to the noble knighthood rule of Auckland, the highest title of the landless nobility is "Count of Swords", which is the current knighthood of the old Cornelius. Of course, this kind of knighthood of the sword-earing Count, which is knighted because of military merits, is very rare, but there are still so few. In any case, there is no rare second marshal in Auckland. People, including the emperor, out of respect for the old Cornelius, of course, are more willing to call each other by "Marshal" rather than "Count". This is also true of the uncle Marshal Gorros, the royal princess of the world's first princess. You know, he also had the title of marquis.

Of course, the "Marshal" with the highest rank of the federal representative is a very classical official position, which is equivalent to the highest commander of the team. Of course, in modern Auckland, it has evolved into a supreme honorary class, and in terms of etiquette, his status should theoretically be above all members of the Privy Council, only half the rank of the imperial prime minister.

"Everyone, please sit down." The emperor beckoned again with a blunt gesture, and walked to his throne. He also said in a blunt voice: "Since I have ascended the throne. I have never officially feasted everyone. My negligence. "

Iken clapped his hands. The waitresses who waited outside opened the door and presented Auckland court dishes that were as gorgeous as artworks. Many generals present focused their attention on dishes that exuded a refreshing aroma. But many people also noticed that the emperor's military adviser Marquis Gerbart and magic adviser Bartoli were on his left and right. If you follow the court and table etiquette of Auckland, it means that they are the most important guests besides the host. The identity is theoretically more expensive than Marshal Cornelius.

This was enough to cause displeasure to many people, the generals exchanged dissatisfied eyes, and Sir Proll even made a very obvious cold hum directly.

He did this on purpose.

As a member of the Privy Council, the Marquis of Gerbart will be gone for the time being. The origin of his identity is unknown, the identity is unknown, and the gender is unknown. There is no position in the imperial government, just a fellow who is equivalent to His Majesty the Emperor's personal advisor, can he sit in the top of the marshals and generals? Even if this is a so-called private feast, there should be some etiquette.

Or, does the emperor who is at the end of the road really think that such a childish trick can humiliate the army soldiers present? This is too stupid, right? Besides pour out private indignation, is there any practical significance at all? What's more, the generals will be greatly offended again.

If Marshal Kornelli, who was not the head of the military commander, acted calmly, and ignored it, even if these hot-tempered generals were not prepared to speak, they would definitely make irony to make His Majesty the emperor not come to Taiwan ... Losing the supreme support of the military, in fact, it is so hard.

Fortunately, the honorable Marshal Lord Laocheng did not seem to be prepared to follow this family-like approach. His attention seemed to be completely focused on the food in front of him.

"It's a pity ..." The old man gave a speechless sigh as he watched the sizzle of hot soup pouring on the prawns.

This is one of Auckland's most famous palace dishes, and the main ingredient chosen is the king crustacean shrimp caught from the Salmis River. This kind of Warcraft creature. Adults are basically as big as suckling pigs, and the carapace is as hard as steel and can control water waves. Release prey and enemies into the water waves with the penetration and destructive power of a general crossbow.

More importantly, this king crustacean shrimp only enters the mating (meowing) mating period in winter and spring. The flesh is the most delicious, but it is also the most aggressive period. Such animals. The difficulty of fishing is naturally conceivable.

As for the broth used, it takes almost a month to cherish the ingredients to cook. The soup itself is as transparent as a clear stream, but the real food essence is all melted in the liquid, colorless and invisible, but also exudes a rich aroma that can not suppress the appetite of anorexia patients.

It can be seen that Emperor Iken still seems to have made a lot of effort for this "private feast". Just this main course requires hundreds of gold baht-this is still the cost price, and there is absolutely no way to discount it.

In fact, in the luxurious restaurant of Seroxia, this king crustacean shrimp, whether it is soup or shrimp, is far inferior in quality to the secret of the palace, but it can be marked with a price of more than 500 gold coins, and the same is popular. .

"I can understand your mood, Your Excellency Marshal." With a hood, even Bartoli, who only exposed half of his face under the illumination of the magnificent palace lights in the Moon Hall, said to the old marshal next to him with an indifferent voice : "There are only a dozen people sitting here to enjoy this dinner, but the cost is enough to allow tens of thousands of refugees outside the city to have a comfortable and nutritious meal including soup, meat and white bread. You are on an expedition with the first emperor When I was in Sosnes, I also met a large number of refugees. If I remember correctly, you were a large part of the generals ’food at the time to help them? Your lord is regarded as a **** of war by the Auckland military people. It exists, but it has such a warm and noble soul. "

This remark is a distinction between politeness and satire. So the old marshal just glanced at the other person with a silent word, and then said indifferently: "Because that is the food that belongs to them. For the sake of the battle, I can do everything possible to fight against the enemy ’s living power, including burning their farms and robbing them Food. But outside the battle, even an old warrior like me has the same conscience ... Of course, this may also be a hypocrisy. "

He took a deep look at Bartoli, but his eyes jumped over him and aimed at the emperor on the throne: "But, the reason why I did this was just that I didn't want the people of Auckland to get Soss. Nes refugees have the same fate, at least not when I am still alive. "

The calm and sympathetic old man seemed to be old enough to lose all the sharpness and heroism of his youth, but at this time, his eyes had completely penetrated Emperor Iken's temperament and face that solidified like granite, and directly penetrated. The heart of the other party.

After half a second, Emperor Iken removed his eyes and avoided the old man's sight. His behavior is naturally difficult to detect, but what kind of characters are these hundred warring generals on the scene, and their observation and sharpness are different from ordinary people. This almost surrender of the hands made the generals shake their heads in their hearts: a supreme dare who dare not look even at the sight of his subjects, and what kind of prestige and will to rule the world. What about a powerful empire?

The old marshal felt the same disappointment, but also had a trace of deep doubts. He is already in his 70s, almost watching these royal children grow up, and is familiar with everyone's personality and style of conduct. The old Cornelius never felt that Icon was a suitable candidate to take over the empire and continue to promote the Sun King's New Deal. He was stubborn and narrow in structure, like an old antique living in the last century. Compared with this old man, he is more full of the twilight of the feudal empire of the old era.

But even so, the old man will at least frankly affirm the other party's superiority-Prince Iken is indeed a determined, fair and demanding person. He is strict with others and strict with himself. A comment such as "Stubbornness" can never be deserved of the current incumbent ... At least, before he took the throne of the youth, this was indeed the case.

Does a person's depravity really happen so fast? Marshal Cornelis could not help but frown. At this time, the Marquis of Gerbart opposite him quickly squeezed out a smiley face, and began to make up with the mud: "Yes, dear Marshal, this is really a tragedy of Nobel. So His Majesty also took out a million Jinao Baht ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ buy food and medicine for refugees outside the class city. "

Hypocrisy, and meaningless ... Old Man Cornelius could not help but lowered his head, looked at the meal that had been placed in front of him-although it was only an appetizer, it was still beautiful as a work of art. Of course, it also has an art-like price.

"It's meaningless to pay a lot of money. In addition to giving the Privy Council adults a kind of 'ah, we are also doing our best for the victims' self-satisfaction, it can't solve any problems at all. Marquis Gerbat, if this is the Privy Council to the emperor Your Majesty ’s opinion, I can only say that you are all a group of vegetarian corpses. ”Viscount Perkers made an explicit chuckle. Although he has the title of "black fox", the real cunning is reflected in the use of soldiers. He usually treats people and things that are not pleasing to him. It is completely a soldier's style, but it is just bitter enough.

The Marquis of Gerbat showed an embarrassed expression, and it was at this time that Bartoli suddenly said: "Yes, it's a lot of money. Until the problem is fundamentally resolved, all measures are meaningless self-satisfaction. That's it. I completely agree with you, General Perks. "(To be continued.)
