Chapter 134
Chapter 134 He is only sixteen years old, and it will not be easy to seal!!!
Night.
The triumphal hall of the royal palace is the place where the Golden Eagle Empire held a large council to discuss national policy, military and political affairs.
It was also the place where nobles, scholars, ministers and foreign envoys met the Emperor.
At this time, the Triumphal Hall was lit with candles, but there were only a dozen people inside.
Sixty-nine-year-old Opai Arteit the Great sat on the throne, with white hair, a face covered with deep wrinkles, and two golden eyes a little cloudy.
His hands rested on the throne armrest, his skin wrinkled, a bit like tree bark.
“Ahem…”
Opai covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
He looked up at Theon, Kao and the others standing under the steps of the throne below, their vision was a little blurry when they were old, and they couldn’t see the expressions of several people clearly.
“Your Majesty, please pay attention to your body.”
Tyon shouted with concern.
All princes and princesses were to address the Great as His Majesty in public, which was an order given by the Emperor Opai himself.
“Hmph! Pay attention to the body? ”
Opai snorted coldly, his old voice full of anger, “How do I pay attention to my body?” Someone dared to kidnap the imperial princess, or it was instructed by the imperial viscount and nobles. ”
Fortunately, the little princess Eurafi was rescued.
Otherwise, the Great Emperor Capital quickly ordered the city defense army to enter the imperial capital, sweeping one by one.
Generally, the city defense army is stationed outside the city, and they are not allowed to enter the city without an order.
“……”
Quiescence.
No one dared to touch the wrath of the Great Emperor.
“Tion, you say.”
Opai directly named names.
“Your Majesty, it wasn’t necessarily Viscount Haiba who did it.”
The eldest prince said respectfully, “It may be a coincidence. ”
“Then this Joji Knight’s report is not written like this.”
Opai the Great pulled a few pieces of parchment on the table.
Holding the parchment, he suddenly threw it at the people below and scolded angrily, “You all see, there will be such a coincidence? ”
“Yes.”
The princes and university scholars present stepped forward to pick up the parchment and looked down one after another, and their faces suddenly darkened after reading it.
“Viscount Haiba is also too daring, right? In order to return to the title of count, he actually dared to hook up with a cult to kidnap the princess. ”
“Daredevil, Your Majesty, please order the removal of the title of Viscount Haiba and the sale of the whole family into slavery.”
“There are not so many coincidences in the world, this is clearly premeditated, fortunately there are patrol knights to find out, otherwise everyone will be deceived.”
“It’s not necessarily true, it’s possible that Viscount Haiba was framed.”
The university scholars were very angry and spoke out against the Haiba family.
“Ahem…”
The eldest prince Leon coughed lightly and spoke, “Everyone, Endin Haiba’s confession says that he accidentally found the traces of Xiaomei, but he did not expect that the people of the cult would follow a strange one, and fifty or sixty knights died. ”
“His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, are you excusing Viscount Haiba?”
Second Prince Kao asked loudly, “Have you ever considered Xiaomei’s feelings?” ”
“I will discuss things and will not wrongly treat anyone who has sacrificed blood for the empire.”
The eldest prince Tion said with a serious face, “There are too many doubts in this matter, and it cannot be determined that the nobles have hooked up with the cult because of the reports of a few people.” ”
The people present were all smart people who knew that the Grand Prince mentioned about the last Starry Tavern
Charson’s confession is useless, the evidence is not very sufficient, those abnormal potions were all drunk by cult believers, and no medicine was found in the hands of the Haiba family, at most a small crime of contacting the cult.
This is how Opai the Great demoted the Haiba family to a rank of knighthood
Otherwise, there is clear evidence that the Haiba family may have the title of one baron left.
“Well, the Haiba family did not rescue well, and also obstructed other knights from rescuing the princess.”
A cold light flashed in the cloudy eyes of the Emperor Opai, there was no definite evidence, but it was enough to have doubtful thoughts.
He felt that eighty percent was true, so he directly dealt hard, “Verdict: Viscount 1st Grade Haiba was demoted to Viscount 3rd Class, 15 towns were cut, and a fine of 60,000 gold coins was imposed.” ”
“Hiss…”
The nobles present looked at each other.
Unexpectedly, Viscount Haiba was demoted again, and the excuse he found was to obstruct other knights from rescuing the princess.
This shows that the Great Emperor has believed the report of the patrol knights.
If it weren’t for the heavy deaths and injuries of the Haiba family, and there was no too conclusive evidence, I was afraid that the Haiba family would have been reduced to slavery and sold.
“This patrol knight named Joji saved my little daughter.”
Emperor Opai asked lightly, “What reward do you think is better?” ”
“Your Majesty, it is enough to make a third-class baron.”
“It’s ridiculous, saving Her Royal Highness the princess to make a baron, do you want to make all the knights cold?”
“Directly named a third-class marquis, so that it can show that the empire values the glory of the knights.”
Everyone present understood that a baron was a real power nobleman, while a marquis was a fictitious baron.
“What do you two think?”
Opai the Great looked at his two sons.
“Your Majesty, it is enough to be a count of the first rank.”
The eldest prince Tion said in a deep voice, “He is only sixteen years old, and he will not be able to seal it in the future.” ”
He remembered the boy named Joji, so he wanted to make a first-class count of the virtual lord.
“Your Majesty, Qiao Ji saved Yurafi, and it is enough to make a third-class viscount.”
But Ao wanted the young man to be knighted.
When the time comes, he will win over the other party, and he will have a pawn to use.
“It seems that you all think differently.”
Emperor Opai waved his hand and said in an old voice, “I think for myself, you go down.” ”
“Yes.”
Everyone saluted and retreated.
“Tread, tread…”
The group left the Triumphal Hall and walked towards the gate of the palace.
The eldest prince is parallel to the second prince.
“Big brother, Viscount Haiba Third Class really wants to thank you.”
Second Prince Kao Yin Yang said strangely, “However, there is only one small town left in their territory, and there are still a few villages, so there is no way to provide you with money.” ”
“Second brother, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Grand Prince Tion’s eyes were full of haze.
His important supporters, in less than half a month, were demoted from a third-class count to a third-class viscount, which was really a big loss.
“Pretending.”
The second prince Kao sneered and walked away.
“……”
The eldest prince Tion’s face was very ugly, and he left the palace and took a carriage to his residence.
When the princes became adults, that is, at the age of sixteen, they would leave the palace and go to live outside the palace alone.
And some princes were directly made princes and rushed directly to live in the territory.
Such a prince is just a fictitious lord, who does not have much power, and stays in the territory to sit and eat and die.
The eldest prince and the second prince are special.
Both were in their forties, had not been made princes, and had remained in the imperial capital.
In fact, everyone understands that the Great Emperor wants to choose one of the two to be the future Great Emperor, but he is still observing.
“Joji… I hope you are a person who knows the time. ”
The Grand Prince Tyon squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.
