Chapter 344: Family Glory In the city of Osgiria, in the city of the wealthy forest to the west of the city, a small and inconspicuous building is also dyed with a gray color under the dark clouds.
There were no pedestrians on the long street, only the occasional group of soldiers walking in a hurry.
The tall door of the mansion was closed, but only one side door was open, and an old servant, sitting on a chair at the door, lazily looked at the sky, and sighed softly: "I have come and gone, I have been here for decades, and I have not seen a rest." ” The powerful and common people all over the city are worried about the fate of the future, but the old servant in the linen robe has a leisurely and indifferent face, as if there is no fear at all, and some of them are just a little detached and sophisticated.
But when the alley was empty, outside the gate of this house, a few luxurious carriages were parked, and a few people in various costumes stood outside the door waiting anxiously for something.
These guys, looking at the clothes, I'm afraid that they are all those people standing in the clouds, and if they know each other, when they see these guys, I'm afraid they will also exclaim.
The titles and official positions of these guys, if they are placed in Ping, are simply a condensed version of the central political axe of the empire.
But at this moment, they stood at the door with their eyebrows lowered and pleasing to their eyes, looking at the old servant's reserved and arrogant appearance, and did not dare to attack at all, and waited anxiously.
"Wait if you want, our old duke, no one is seen," the old servant sighed, and continued to shrink into the chair, squinting and blowing the cool breeze.
The wind blew the messy hair on his head, revealing a shocking scar on his forehead.
In a large mansion in the mansion, a mighty old man with silver hair stood there with a grim face, holding a whip in his hand, and let out a cold snort from his nostrils The whip in his hand was already bloody, and there were a few broken corners of his clothes syllable The whip was thrown heavily on the ground, and the old man seemed to have finally calmed down his anger, and raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him: "Do you understand?"
The young man in front of him had a handsome face, but a pair of flying eyebrows, which made his appearance more naturally heroic and domineering than handsome.
He was wrapped in a few ropes of ox tendons, and he was very sleepy, and his clothes had been torn in many places by the whip, and blood was already seen in several places, and his skin was open.
But in those eyes, there was still unwillingness and unyieldingness, and he looked at the old man proudly.
"Father, no matter what you say, I don't understand" paused, and the next sentence was even more ruthless: "The country is difficult to see the loyal ministers, what I said and did, everything is just so that I can be worthy of the surname Minas" The Duke of Minas shook his body, looking at his son's stubborn eyes, those two gazes seemed to poke into the old man's heart at this moment The old duke finally breathed a sigh of relief, slowly walked to the side, sat down on the arm of the chair, looked at his son's unyielding eyes, and suddenly smiled silently and bitterly.
"Stupid" It took a long time for this short word to come out of the mouth of the Duke of Minas.
Luo Di looked at his own son, at himself, a veteran of the army who had been prestigious, at this imperial duke's father, who stomped his feet and even had to give three points to those arrogant warlord parties, his father's old age in recent years, his father's cowardice, his father's obscurity, and the dissatisfaction accumulated over the years suddenly erupted at this moment under the stimulation of this whip and blood.
"Father, I'm not stupid" Roddy straightened his spine, stared at the Duke of Minas, and shouted: "What I think in my heart, you can no longer understand what I want in my heart, and you have never understood" The old duke squinted his eyes, and he didn't know how many thoughts were hidden in his eyes, and after listening to Roddy's words, he still shook his head slowly.
"Stupid and self-righteous" The old man's Adam's apple moved, raised his eyelids again, and looked at the son in front of him, but his voice became soft, as if talking to himself: "You think I'm old, you think I'm not having the courage, you think that with your immature shoulders, you can carry the glory of the Minas family, you fight against me everywhere, a few years ago, you were profligate, and expressed your dissatisfaction with me with self-defilement, and I put up with you.
If you want to make a career, I'll take care of it, and I'll help you do it, okay, you have to build a career, I'll send you to that kid named Char Leiming in the north, and I'll send you to him.
Alas, the only thing I did wrong was that I didn't urge you to hurry up on the road This big change, I had already expected that this place in Yanjing would become a whirlpool, and I had already guessed it.
Hmph, that old thing in Cavishir has been calculating all his life, and although I don't know all about his thoughts, I can always guess a few points.
Survive in death, hehe, it's nothing more than a death to survive I am single-minded, I just want to throw you out of Yanjing, far away from this whirlpool that will devour countless people, that kid named Char Thundering, Cavihill takes a fancy to him so much, he must have already made a way back, and only by that kid's side is the safest place to go, but unfortunately, you don't understand, you don't understand my plan, you just think, with blood and recklessness, it's called courage stupid and self-righteous stupid."
Speaking of this, the old duke seemed to be a little tired, raised his hand, and wanted to touch the teacup on the case, but touched an empty one, and then remembered that the teacup had been smashed to pieces by his anger before.
He licked his chapped lips before looking at Roddy in front of him again.
"You blame me for locking you up at home.
Hey, okay, the national disaster is at the head, you Xiao Nas, you are going to go to the city to fight a bloody battle, you have to be loyal to the empire, you have to be a real brave man, you have to hold the sword with your own hands, protect this Yanjing, you blame me, you hate me, you hate me for locking you up at home, you hate my old man for not allowing you to go out, I hate my old man for tying you up and shrinking up, hate my old man for shackling your pace of service, you secretly want to run out today, you wear armor hidden under the bed, you took the sword I gave you back then, You also brought your eighteen personal guards haha, it's very good, as soon as you go up to the city wall, the sword sees blood, with your martial arts, you can always cut down a few rebel generals, and when others see you, they will shout Duke Minas is mighty, worthy of being a member of the Minas family, hey, that's what you think, right?"
Roddy was stunned, opened his mouth, looked at his father, but couldn't say a word.
What my father said was exactly what he was thinking.
Originally, these words should have been said by themselves, but my father said them on his behalf, and he used that kind of understatement, and even a little disdainful. word by word, but how did it become so unpleasant, it seemed to have a hint of inappropriateness "You are young and hot-blooded, and my old man doesn't blame you.
Even a little happy.
The Duke of Minas shook his head: "It's a pity that what Cavishil said back then was not bad."
He looked up at Roddy: "A few years ago, after a drinking party, Carvehill commented on you, do you remember?"
Luo Di opened his mouth, his face suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth, but he said it very reluctantly: "Teacher Cavihill said I said I" He took a deep breath: "The pattern is biased, don't be handsome, or be a good general" This evaluation, if it is said by others, with Luo Di's arrogance, he will not care about it at all.
But it came from the mouth of Cavishir, who has almost become a legend, that he cannot be a handsome or a good general This sentence, if you evaluate others, it is already a rare praise, but it is placed on his Luo Di It's just swearing His father, the Duke of Minas, was the elder of the imperial side, and he was the real marshal of the empire, but when he came to himself, he could only be a general, and he could not be a handsome, didn't he point to his nose and say that he was not good "Although that old thing in Cavehill has been dealing with me for decades, I admire his vision.
Now it seems that you are indeed not eye-sighted enough, saying that you are biased, or is it light, but I am afraid that you still want me to look at my face, you are simply stupid and self-righteous stupid."
The old man spoke, his tone becoming more and more solemn and deep.
He looked left and right, there were only father and son in the house, and there were only a few loyal family guards guarding the courtyard outside the door, and there was no one else, so the old man sneered.
"The glory of the Minas family, hum, joke, it's a joke at all.
You stupid boy, don't you think about the glory of the Minas family, since your sister married the crown prince, I have become a shrunken turtle, no longer in charge of military affairs, and I have become a gate frame that has been placed on it.
You say I'm cowardly, I call me old, you say I'm angry, why don't you understand that the real one who doesn't want the light of the Minas family to appear again is not my old man, but Your Majesty" After the Duke of Minas finally said the last word, his body couldn't help but bend, as if sighing: "The glory of the Minas family, in my hands, has reached the extreme.
The patriarch of the first army of the empire, hum, it is enough to talk about it.
But this light, after reaching the extreme, has become something" The old man's eyes suddenly changed color, staring at his son, and his voice was full of coldness: "Do you really want to make our family become like the Tulip family, and cut off children and grandchildren?"
Roddy's face turned pale and he looked at his father with wide eyes.
"The empire doesn't need the glory of the Minas family, Your Majesty doesn't need the glory of the Minas family, you didn't understand back then, but now, you still don't understand that your sister is married to the crown prince, this is a line drawn by His Majesty for us, draw a circle in the back circle of this line, the royal family can allow us once we get out of this circle, it is a sea of blood catastrophe, stupid, stupid, I let you read more, look at the general history of the mainland, don't you see some doorways" The old duke shook his head: "The empire has been founded for thousands of years, In addition to the founding of the country, there is an emperor who can let his relatives lead the army when he is in power, you don't understand, Your Majesty means that your sister has become a crown princess and will become a queen in the future, my Minas family, as long as the Byzantine Empire is not destroyed, then there is no need to worry about wealth and wealth, but you must no longer be in charge of the military You are full of blood and service for the years Hmph, don't you understand, our Minas family, we must not be related to the army in the future?"
"You were dissatisfied with the marriage back then, I understand, you think I sold my daughter to seek peace.

Hmph" The old duke shook his head: "In the war against Odin last year, you knelt outside my study for a day and begged me to let me throw you into the army, go to the north, go to the front, and I didn't fulfill your wish, you just doubled your profligateness, ruined your reputation, drank, played with women, and those Yanjing gentlemen all day long I thought in my heart, let's go, even if you really become a gentleman, with your sister and me, how can you protect the status of the family."
You don't understand the truth, but your sister understands her, and she can see it better than you Later, when the war ended, His Majesty ordered Adric to enter Beijing.
You ran to see Adric again, begging him to get you into the army, hum, you learned wisely and knew that it was useless to beg me, and ran to beg others, but Adric, although upright, was not a fool after all.
Alas, when your sister married the crown prince, you don't understand why.
Then at the beginning of this year, His Majesty promoted Adric to the position of Minister of War, and also brought his two descendants to the position of General of the Corps, and made an Adric line out of life, don't you understand?
The Empire doesn't need the Minas family to come out again, that's what Your Majesty means" Roddy was already dumbfounded, glaring at his father, looking at his old father, as if talking to himself.
"No, I really don't need it.
Haha, do you remember the night before Adric took office, he came to see me, he was my student.
However, he stood outside the door for a night, and I did not see him, but he just saluted the door of our house, and asked the doorman to bring me a message that he understood.
My old man was relieved at this time, although Adric is upright, but he is smarter than you, and he understands that His Majesty lifted him up to replace me."
"Father, father, I don't understand, Your Majesty," Roddy stammered.
"I don't understand what, I don't understand why Your Majesty abandoned our Minas family to support Adric to come to power, why didn't you praise my old man, such a ready-made veteran in the army, or, why don't you train you as a rising star" Duke Minas smiled, but the smile was a little deep He stared at his son and took a deep breath, but the last two sentences made Roddy's heart tremble "If you think about it, if Your Majesty favors Adric to the throne, you can also praise others to balance him, whether it is Salembonili, or choose another loyal noble family.
Although Adrick is in the limelight, he is not as prestigious as I was back then.
Hold him up, and the royal family also has the power to restrain him But if the emperor praises us Minas and looks at the entire empire, where can I find a person who is qualified enough to fight with my old man to restrain me?"
thump Hearing this, Roddy was originally kneeling on the ground, but suddenly he sat back on the floor and stared at his father with wide eyes, unable to say a word "If you want to blame it, blame you for being born in our Minas family.
Don't mention the glory of the Minas family, hehe, just because your surname is Minas, so in your life, it's best not to touch any military power.
This is your mission as a member of the Minas family."
The father and son looked at each other for a long time, but this time, there was no trace of heat and eagerness in Luo Di's eyes, and all that was left was the deep loneliness and depression.
Finally, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and a servant in a samurai robe ran in quickly, and when he came in, his face was a little solemn: "Outside the door of the duke" Old Duke Minas's face sank, looked at the servant, and said coldly: "Didn't I say that no matter who asks to see him, he will be blocked?"
With the news of the defeat of the southern reinforcements last night, the people in the empire were relaxed, and many people began to think about the way to prepare for the future, seeing that the big ship of Byzantium was afraid of sinking.
The warlord party in the city has long been cleaned up, and it is very rare to want to set up a line with that side at this time.
Some people, thinking about it, suddenly remembered that the senator of the Duke of Minas had come.
Whether it is the survival of the empire or the rebels entering the city, others may be worried about their lives, but this old duke is as stable as a rock.
Not for anything else, just for the old duke's life, he has outstanding prestige in the army, and even among the rebels, many of them used to serve under the old duke, and some even had a teacher-student friendship with the old duke.
Even if the catastrophe comes, the old duke is here, but it is still a way to live Since last night, many well-intentioned people have begun to come to place the Duke of Minas one after another, but the old duke ordered the door to be closed, and no matter who it is, they will all be blocked out.
The servant who came in, after being reprimanded by the old duke, hurriedly whispered: "Your Excellency is sent by Salumbonili, and it is the eldest son of the Prime Minister."
Sarun Bonili sent his son The Duke of Minas was stunned, and a strong uneasiness immediately swelled up in his heart When others come to see themselves, they may just ask for a way to come.
But Salembonili will never be the leader of the aristocratic faction, and the warlord party is not in the same boat, but the only way for Sarunbonelli to be shaken is to continue on the ship of the Byzantine Empire, and there is no other way "What about people," the old duke subconsciously asked.
"It's gone."
The servant bowed his head and replied, "The Prime Minister's son-in-law only came with a word, which the Prime Minister entrusted me to tell you."
"What" The servant's face was also a little awe-inspiring, and he said, "The Prime Minister has passed on the word that Your Majesty has been, has been."
"What the hell" The old duke glared suddenly, and suddenly with the majesty of his body, the servant of the thorn hurriedly bent down and said quickly: "Your Majesty has given him the power to control all the defense affairs in the city, and the prime minister said that he is not familiar with military strategy, so he wants to hire Young Master Luo Di as a military adviser in his staff." ” As soon as he heard this, the old duke's face suddenly collapsed instantly He took a few steps back, as if he wanted to sit in the chair, but this time, he sat empty, and in the chaos of his heart, he actually fell to the ground in embarrassment The old man immediately subconsciously wanted to get up, and as soon as he moved his arm, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood spurted out Luo Di on the side, who was originally tied with a cow tendon rope, saw his father sit down and vomit blood, exclaimed, shook his arms, snapped a few crisp sounds, and the cow tendons on his body suddenly broke inch by inch, and quickly rushed to his father's side in a few big strides, picked up the old man and put him on the chair and half lay down, and quickly wiped his chest and breathed.
"Father, Father" The Duke of Minas opened his eyelids, there were still red blood stains on the beard at the corners of his mouth, he looked at his son, took a deep breath, and his voice was a little weak: "Help me up" "Father, you just vomited blood" Roddy looked anxious.
"Bastard" The old man glared suddenly, and the light in his eyes pierced people who didn't dare to force their eyes: "Help me up" Where did Luo Di dare to disobey and quickly sat up straight with the old man on his back, the old man closed his eyes, and was silent for a few seconds, when he opened his eyes, his eyes were already full of light, but his face was becoming more and more bloodless "Prepare the horses, gather people to bring my robes and those guys outside the door, let them go, if they don't leave, the stick will be beaten and all scattered quickly" The old man quickly gave a few orders, and the servants under him were still hesitating, and the old duke had already snorted heavily: "It's a military order" The servant immediately straightened his chest, snapped a salute, turned around and strode out, with a murderous aura, it was obvious that the servants of the Minas family were all personal soldiers in his army in the past.
"Your Majesty has authorized the Prime Minister of Salumbonelli to hire you as an incompetent military adviser," the old duke looked at his son, "Do you know what it means?"
Roddy shook his head anxiously.
"It's Tuogu" The old duke suddenly burst into tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, I'm going" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
