The young emperor became more and more hurried, but the voice became deeper and lower, and gradually, his eyes were full of thick haze, and in the end, the flashing gaze actually faintly carried a chilling madness.
"I am the emperor, the emperor of this empire, the supreme of this empire, the supreme being, the master of this country" When he said this, Garcia's tone had a strange and even heavy and disgusting flavor.
He sneered: "My father paved all the roads for me, and even every step of the plan he thought about and made arrangements, although the current situation is dangerous, but as long as I carefully follow the path left by my father, at least more than half of the certainty can hold on to the day when the situation improves, but all of this, he has arranged, all of them, every step is that I became the emperor, but it makes me feel as if he is still alive" As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the empty chair next to the dining table, the expression on his face was faintly distorted and hideous "I stood here, and I felt as if he was still sitting in this chair, holding a knife, cutting beef, and in his characteristic arrogant tone, giving orders, making decisions one by one, yes, he had decided everything, damn it, all of them, I was the crown prince, but he never really believed me, no, or rather, this old man had never trusted anyone, not even Cavihill, he had always trusted only himself, in his own arrogant and stupid decisions" The young emperor suddenly became furious, he clenched his fists, and looked at the shadow in the corner: "Do you know how much effort I put into the 13th Corps, when I first went there, I lived in the same barracks as ordinary soldiers, ate those rough and unpalatable food, went out with them every day, and crawled back to the bed like a dead dog every night, and when I got up the next day, my whole body hurt so much that I almost fell apart, I spent so much thought, I just want to be able to establish some influence that belongs to me in this iron army, I have even almost made it to the 13th Corps, most of the middle and lower-level officers have a good impression of me, even Ruhl began to look at me differently, the 13th Corps came to Yanjing City, the first battle with the rebels, I personally took off my shirt, did not avoid arrows in front of the battlefield, and beat the drums to the soldiers Tens of thousands of people saw me, I can feel the eyes of the soldiers, that kind of gratitude and reverence, damn it, I am almost to the point that if I give me time, Let me defend and do what I want to do, I am sure that I can make this army loyal to me, but because of his damned, arrogant, and self-righteous decisions, all my efforts in the past few months have been in vain, and an army that may have been loyal to me will be buried in vain because of the worries in his head, He has asked me what he meant, since he wants to hand over this empire to me, but he has asked me" With such a roar, Garcia's forehead was bulging, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was almost about to erupt into fire.
Finally, after a long time, he gradually calmed down, let out a long breath, and glanced at the corner: "Don't you have anything to say?"
The middle-aged man in the corner raised his hand, and his tone was cold: "I'm just a shadow, and I've said enough today, Your Majesty." ” The last sentence of "Your Majesty", he seemed to have a bit of mockery in his tone, and then the middle-aged man stood quietly in the corner and said no more.
Garcia turned his head and looked at the table, his eyes showing more and more disgust.
"Someone."
As soon as the emperor called, the palace was opened, and several servants and messengers in linen robes ran in with their heads down.
Garcia pointed to the table and chair, and said in a cold tone: "I don't want to see this table, and this chair, and all these things, everything in this room, those shelves, cabinets, and the lampstand hanging on the wall."
The young emperor's voice was cold, which made the court attendants standing in front of him tremble a little, and one of the court attendants raised his head: "Your Majesty, then these things are required" "Carry it out, it's all burned."
The coronation of the new emperor is probably the most humble in the empire in hundreds of years.
The ceremony was completed in a hurry in the Hagia Sophia, and the pope of the empire personally put the crown on the new emperor, handed over the scepter, and bestowed blessings.
There was no salute, no grand procession, and even as His Majesty the Emperor put on his crown, the rumbling of war drums and the sound of fighting could be heard outside the city.
The old emperor died and the new emperor was crowned, and the civilians in the city of Osgilia were only deeply frightened, but with the full efforts of the old prime minister and Adric and others, the situation was still barely stable.
The fleet of the Kingdom of Landis at sea also fired cannons outside the port area that night, supposedly driving away several rebel ships that tried to approach the port at night.
There were still tens of thousands of troops in the city, and a powerful fleet at sea, and in any case, the civilians of Osgilia had some hope.
In the past few days after the coronation of the new emperor, the rebels outside the city seemed to be attacking the city more and more urgently, as if they wanted to take advantage of the change of imperial power in the city to take advantage of this panicked opportunity, but they were driven back by the defenders again and again, and at the most intense time, even Adric himself stood on the city wall to command.
And the first thing the new emperor did after his coronation was to immediately have an urgent meeting with the Grand Pope.
Only a few important ministers of the empire knew that His Majesty Garcia had once again made a request to the Grand Pope, asking the Imperial Academy of Magic to give an order for the magicians to join the war and assist the imperial army in quelling the rebellion However, this request was once again rejected by the Great Pope, and a similar request was made when the old emperor was alive, but it was not approved by the Great Pope.
These goddamn sticks.
The reason for the church is very simple: the church should not meddle in secular power disputes, unless it is a matter of faith, if it is a holy war against those Odin pagans in the north, then the church is naturally duty-bound, but now the two sides of the war are "God's people" The Pope's original words, so it is inconvenient for the church to intervene.
This reason is undoubtedly lame, because since the emperor is considered to be the spokesman recognized by the gods in the world, and since when the emperor is crowned, the Pope personally gives blessings and recognitions, which is to religiously recognize the legitimate surname of the emperor, then since there are people who challenge this legitimate imperial power, the Church should stand up and defend the authority of the imperial power.
"These magic sticks are just waiting for the price to be sold."
It is said that after the meeting that day, His Majesty Garcia walked out of the church, and his face was very ugly: "These old gods, for them, whoever becomes the emperor is always inseparable from them, hmph, maybe Hughes and those guys have already made some promises with them." ” To be honest, the Church of the Empire has never been closely related to the royal family, and the reason is simple, throughout the history of the Byzantine Empire for thousands of years, the Church has been suppressed to the death.
If you look back on history, you can find that before the establishment of the Byzantine Empire, the power of the church was still very large in the south of this continent, at that time, large and small kingdoms, all maintained respect for the church, and even the king's succession to the throne had to be recognized by the church before it could take effect, and even in some weak kingdoms, the church still had a certain right to tax, and at that time, the headquarters of the church even had a territory close to the size of a county as the direct diocese of the pope.
But after the Byzantine Empire unified the southern part of the continent, it all came to an end.
The first thing the founding emperor did after the establishment of the empire was to establish the status of divine right and imperial power, and suppressed the theocracy of the church to the death, although he still recognized the church as the only religion of the empire, but since then the church has no longer belongs to its own diocesan territory, and no longer has its own taxing power It can be said that the church no longer has any capital to meddle in secular power.
Instead, it was completely raised high and used as a spiritual ornament.
The church is not allowed to own its own land, it is not allowed to own its own property, it is not allowed to run any industry, the church is the church, it is sacred, it is the place to serve the gods.
These decrees have completely strangled the possible surnames of the inflated theocracy from the root.
To this day, the only thing the church can do is a leader of the Magic Guild.
But it seems that this leader does not seem to be very powerful.
Even a little more vicious speculation, maybe the most hopeful for the fall of the Byzantine royal family are the high-ranking gods who are guarding the Hagia Sophia Philip sat on his horse, already a little shaky.
The horse under the crotch was already very unbearable, and white foam was spewing out of its mouth and nose all the way, and the speed of running was getting slower and slower in this rugged mountain road.
Philip barely kept his eyes open, but his whole body was so sore that he almost fell apart.
Especially since he was injured again the other day.
In the hotel in that corner town, I met the girl who claimed to be Char-sama's woman, and got into a fight with the guy with the long scissors.
Unfortunately, after the two girls ran away, Philip was never able to catch up with him and ate Dax's hard blow, and the injury was not light, and he vomited blood on the spot.
Later, he even caught a glimpse of a coma, but fortunately, the owner of the hotel thanked Char and others for helping him get rid of the kindness of Miss Nene who robbed his relatives, and took good care of Philip.
Philip woke up in a coma for a long time, but he couldn't find Dax and the others anymore, and he was not only angry, but also a little worried, what happened to the girl who claimed to be Char-sama's woman.
But then Philip didn't dare to delay a woman here, after all, she was just a woman, and Lord Char gave him such a more important thing that was not completed Philip deeply knew the important surname of this matter, and the reason why he shot before was because he happened to meet it, so naturally he couldn't sit idly by, but now that he missed it, then he still has more important things to do, and there is no reason to delay the business, even if he goes back, Lord Char will not blame himself for this.
Philip didn't have time to recuperate, so he immediately supported the injury and continued to travel.
After trekking all the way south from the town of Jiajiao, it was out of the border of Esria County in a few days, but further south, after leaving Esria County, even if he entered the Armenian Military District, this is the lair of Hughes, one of the leaders of the rebel army, I am afraid that this road will not be so easy to walk.
Philip could only avoid the road as much as possible, choose a remote path to walk, and in order to grab speed, he hurried all night and night, his body gradually weakened, and the pain recurred, but he just gritted his teeth and persisted.
Philip is very utilitarian in his heart, and he knows very well that whether he can establish himself in the small group under Char depends on whether he can complete his mission beautifully this time Therefore, this guy actually tried his best, regardless of his injuries, forced to hurry, and was even so tired that he almost vomited blood.

That evening, Philip walked along a mountain road, which was already the territory of the Armenian Military District, near the southwest.
The Armenian Military Region produces iron ore, the most mountainous area, this path is in the mountains, very remote and secret, few people know that Philip spent a gold coin, from a village he passed before, to find a hunter in the mountains to inquire.
This mountain road happens to pass through an abandoned iron ore mining area, but it can go straight through this mountain, which is closer than taking the main road.
In the evening, Philip did not have time to eat, and his dry food was exhausted, but he barely drank a half-full with a water bag, and for fear that he would fall off the horse due to his weakness, Philip tied his legs to the saddle with a rope.
The road was bumpy, constantly pulling the wounds on his body, and the pain made Philip's face white.
As he had walked through a bend in front of him, Philip was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a short whistle in his ears, and he suddenly woke up with his eyes wide open, but it was too late A net fell on his head, enveloping him in it, and the horse under his crotch suddenly fell forward, as the horse's hooves tripped over the ropes that lay across the ground Philip was already weak, but because his legs were tied to the saddle, he couldn't dodge, so he fell to the ground, fell dizzy, and in a hurry pulled out a short sword to cut the rope on the saddle, but several figures had already rushed out from the left and right, and seven or eight hands held themselves firmly, and then the cold blade was added to Philip's neck thief Philip's heart moved, but then he looked at a figure holding a sword, and stabbed him fiercely in the heart Philip sighed in his heart, only hating that he actually died here, but his body was held down, and he could only close his eyes and wait for death.
But at this time, I suddenly heard a cold voice: "Wait a minute" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
