"For hundreds of years in the empire, the Tulip family has been known as the home of the imperial military gods, and every heir of our family has been the commander of a hundred battles on the battlefield to this day, but to say that the flame tulip banner of the Tulip family is the god flame tulip banner in the eyes of the imperial army, and it is what a scenery and what glory it is that thousands of soldiers yearn for."
"But behind such a scene, how many people are jealous, do you know that the emperor's monarchy is not allowed to be challenged by anyone, as the emperor of the empire, His Majesty, can he tolerate the fall of military power, can he tolerate someone in the army who is more authoritative than his imperial power, an invincible commander, is naturally the pillar of the empire, but the god of an army, it is inevitable that His Majesty will be uneasy.
Just imagine, if one day it happens, then the army will follow the tulip flag, or follow His Majesty the Emperor" "To talk about the lofty status, the Tulip family has reached an incomparable level.
My father used to be the marshal of the imperial army, the duke, and the entire Xilin Province was the fief of the family, and there was no family in the empire that could compare with such scenery.
But it is precisely this scenery that makes His Majesty uneasy.
The more outstanding the Tulip family's merits, the more embarrassed His Majesty feels, with the current status of the family, no matter how meritorious it is, what else can you ask Your Majesty to give us a fief The family already has a provincial title in the empire, the family already has the title of duke, the wealth of the fiefdom Xilin Province, the annual income is already a huge wealth, so" Nicole's tone faded.
Roddy was terrified when he heard it.
He is just an unknown teenager, although he also knows some of the history of the empire on weekdays, but he has never heard of this kind of power struggle at the top Nicole sighed and continued: "So, after my father died, His Majesty felt that this was an opportunity to take back the military power that had been held by the Tulip family for many years.
It just so happened that my younger brother was not an adult and could not inherit the title.
The Lionheart family looks so beautiful now, the Minister of War is extremely favored by His Majesty the Emperor, and even his nephew Miró has been appointed to the military power as soon as he is an adult.
But did you know that before my father died, the Lionhearts were just a character whose face depended on our tulips in everything.
Their glory has risen suddenly in the past few years.
It was His Majesty the Emperor who deliberately cultivated it to restrain us. ” "Therefore, in the empire, the person who is most unwilling to see the resurgence of the Tulip family is His Majesty the Emperor, who absolutely does not want to see a banner supported by the army in the heart of any emperor, and within the territory of the empire, the only supreme can only be the imperial power" Hearing these words, Luo Di's mouth was dry, and his heart was confused, and he thought for a long time before he said slowly: "But this is not the Tulip family's fault."
Is it wrong to be meritorious?"
Nicole's voice was calm: "It's not our fault, nor is it the fault of His Majesty the Emperor.
The mistake is that the glory of our tulip family is too dazzling, obscuring the light of His Majesty the Emperor."
Roddy lowered his head and thought about it, and sighed: "Yes, it's not the family's fault.
Nor is it the fault of His Majesty the Emperor.
It's just whose fault the hell is this."
Nicole shook her head, a weak expression on her face: "I don't know, I can't figure it out."
I often can't sleep at night, thinking about it, and I can't figure it out.
I knew that the family had to be revitalized, but I couldn't figure out how to revitalize it, and I really didn't know what to do. ” Nicole's tone was extremely weak, she was originally a girl, and she was burdened with the burden of the family, but how could she figure out these complex problems, even if she could figure it out, how could she solve them Roddy's heart churned, and he felt all kinds of thoughts flash, but suddenly a thought flashed that scared him.
"The glory of the Tulip family is built on the foundation of the empire, if even the emperor of the empire becomes the enemy of the family, then the Tulip family can only perish."
Luo Di was clearly excited, and couldn't help but whisper this sentence that he had silently recited in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Nicole didn't have any waves on her face, just a slight movement in the corners of her eyes.
There was a hint of strange gaze in her beautiful eyes, and she suddenly said slowly in a very strange tone: "Do you know what you said, some people have said it." ” "Who" "Two hundred years ago, Mr.
Danton, before he died."
"What" Roddy jumped up suddenly, with a frightened expression on his face.
To be honest, he had been scared of the damn old Dandong guy, as if everything that involved that old guy was something shocking Roddy suddenly remembered the old Mark's mission: to protect the heirs of the Tulip family, but he would not do anything to help the Tulip family's business.
Could it be that Dandong had long foreseen the decline of the Tulip family, so he left such a mission to his disciples, so he would let his heirs ensure the safety of Tulip's descendants, but he was indifferent to the revitalization of the Tulip family.
No wonder that old Mark didn't care about the real Seth's departure that day, what he said "I'm protecting their people, not the glory of some bullshit family.
What does the glory of the tulip family have to do with me, I see that Miss frowns every day and is unhappy hum, what kind of family is this, it's good to disperse early" Good morning after a good morning Roddy suddenly had such a strange thought in his heart: I'm afraid that old Mark is tired of being a bodyguard for hundreds of years, but I'm afraid that he wishes that this family would be finished sooner, and he will be free after keeping the descendants of the Tulip family safe Seeing that Roddy's face changed slightly, Nicole frowned and said, "What are you thinking?"
Luo Di's mind was churning, and suddenly a sentence rushed out of his mouth: "Haven't you thought about it, I have read a sentence in the past few days, and the family has never thought about it?"
"Shut up," Nicole shouted with a frightened look on her face.
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Is this kind of stupid thing to be said casually?"
"Why can't you talk nonsense about the emperor, is he really an emperor all his life A few hundred years ago, when the empire didn't exist, don't say that there was no Tulip family, that is, the emperor existed?"
Nicole was stunned for a moment, and felt that Roddy's words were wrong, but she couldn't say what was wrong.
Luo Di said proudly: "I'm not a member of the Tulip family, I'm just a commoner, but I never feel that His Majesty the Emperor has anything sacrosanct, he has anything worthy of my respect, in the empire, an ordinary person can't afford to raise a horse at home, and more than eighty percent of a commoner's hard-earned income every year has to be given to those nobles and commoners, and they can't enter the academy, only nobles can ride in a carriage, and those who don't have the ability can live the richest and most luxurious life, and those who have the ability, But every day I can't even eat a brave fifth-level samurai, but I want to be a bodyguard for a nobleman with a fat brain If the rules of this world are set by His Majesty the Emperor, then why should I respect him I am just a commoner, since His Majesty the Emperor does not love us, then why should we love him" "Ah" Nicole exclaimed, then covered her mouth, looking at the emotional Roddy in front of her in surprise, only to feel that the honest and hardworking Roddy on weekdays has changed at this moment.
"Do you think what I said is wrong" Luo Di suddenly put away his excited look, frowned slightly, and then let out a long breath: "Do you know these ideas, I couldn't think of these ideas, these ideas are all I saw from your brother's notes, I have been reading and thinking every day for so many days, and now I think that many of your brother's thoughts are right." ” "How can you say such a thing," Nicole pointed at Roddy, her fingers shaking, as if she didn't know how to continue.
This time, there was no panicked look on Roddy's face, his face was calm, and then he bent down and gave a deep salute, and said lightly: "Nicole, I'm just a small person, a civilian."
I'm just thinking about these things.
Hmph, what can a little person do?"
His tone seemed self-deprecating and sarcastic.
Nicole only felt that Roddy looked like she was at this moment, and there was a look on her face that she hadn't seen before:
