Alexius was forced to die by Irina, but when he thought about it, if he died, would his wife, children, and children be safe?
I was afraid that Irina would kill them in anger to vent her anger.
Death can't solve the problem, but he will be coerced and coerced by Irina while alive, but at least he can save his wife, children and children for the time being.
As for the emperor and loyalty, he has lost the emperor's trust, so what kind of loyalty can he think about?
You still have to live "Irina is indeed Irina.
You still want to make a comeback in such an unfavorable situation.
I would like to see how you come back.
I can promise you to do everything possible to return to the emperor and gain his trust."
You inquire for information, but only for information, I will not do anything else, and you must ensure the safety of my family and not harm them in the slightest."
Irina walked to a chair and sat down and said, "I have made it clear just now.
Their safety depends on your attitude.
Do you need me to repeat it a third time?"
Alexius said: "Why should I believe you?"
Irina crossed her legs, holding a glass of red wine and said: "You have no choice but to believe me."
At this time, Zhao Ziliang said: "Irina, you can't treat your former enemies like this.
The people in this world who are worthy of being your opponents are all General Alexius who deserve your respect.
I am actually a Outsider, I came to Constantinople actually for fun.
I didn’t expect that a series of struggles between you would involve me.
I didn’t I want to interfere in the relationship between you.
Of course, it is true that I killed your son.
I don’t want to deny it, nor do I want to put the responsibility on your dead son.
You can seek revenge from me at any time.
Here I just say A few words, these words may be useful to you and you can use them as a reference.
If you think they are useless, just pretend you haven’t heard them.
How about” Alexius nodded: "His Majesty the King of Western Qin is indeed a powerful king in the world.
His style and courage are just different.
Please tell me."
"General, in our East, what the monarch says is said to be golden words.
No matter who he speaks to, the words he makes, the promises he makes, the government orders he issues, and the decrees he promulgates must be resolutely implemented, not only by himself, but also by himself.
His subjects must supervise and enforce the law.
If one of the highest rulers in the world cannot do so, Well, I can conclude that this ruler has absolutely nothing to achieve and cannot stand on the stage.
Even if he can sit on the highest throne for a while, he will not be able to sit for a lifetime because even if he can deceive himself, he cannot deceive the people of the world. , No subject will trust a ruler who doesn’t keep his words.”
Upon hearing this, Alexius slowly bowed his head and paid tribute to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty's words were like a bolt of lightning that split open the confusion in my heart."
At this time, Zhang Bi walked in and clasped his fists and said: "The housekeeper came to report that a black eunuch came outside, and the emperor wanted to announce General Alexius's attack."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Zhang Bi: "After a cup of tea, you go and ask the housekeeper to bring him over.
Just say that General Alexius is injured and cannot go to greet him."
"Yes" Zhang Bi agreed and stepped back.
Irina and Alexius could not understand Chinese.
After Zhang Bi left, Irina asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhao Ziliang said: "The emperor sent a eunuch to announce that General Alexius has come to the palace to meet him.
I think now is not the best time for General Alexius to go to see Constantine.
This time is the fastest."
Until tomorrow" Irina thought about Zhao Ziliang's words for a while, felt that they made sense, and said, "Yes, we are not ready yet.
We must send the eunuch away today, and we must not make the eunuch and the emperor suspicious of General Alexius.
When you see the eunuch later, I hope you will pay attention to your words and deeds, do what an injured patient should do, come here, and find some maids to serve the general."

Someone outside the door agreed: "Yes" After a cup of tea, the housekeeper came in with a black eunuch.
The black eunuch saw Alexius lying on the bed with gauze covering his eyes.
There were faint blood stains on the gauze.
He was surprised and said: "General, you What’s going on?”
Alexius sighed: "Hey, it wasn't those damn assassins who did something good.
Yesterday I went to the manor in the suburbs, and I didn't know how I leaked my whereabouts.
At night, many assassins came.
If it weren't for my newly recruited The mercenary guards fought tooth and nail to protect me.
I'm afraid it's not just a simple injury to my eyes, but my life may have been lost.
It's really rude that I can't get up to greet you.
Please forgive me."
The black eunuch hurriedly said: "Oh, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Just lie down and rest and recuperate.
His Majesty the Emperor has missed the General very much these past two days.
He has many military and political affairs that he wants to consult with you, but you haven't been there these past few days.
I went to the Golden Palace to attend a meeting.
His Majesty the Emperor sent me to invite you to come over.
He said that there are several important government affairs to be discussed with the ministers today.
I hope you can attend."
Alexius said: "I am very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for your trust, but you have seen what I am like now.
I am afraid that I will not be able to go to the palace to attend the meeting.
Please reply to Your Majesty.
When my injury is better, I will wait for two days at the latest."
I will go to see His Majesty the Emperor in three days."
The black eunuch didn't notice anything unusual, but he found that there was an Oriental in this room, and couldn't help but ask: "This is" Alexius introduced: "This is my Eastern doctor.
He is very experienced in treating eye injuries.
I hope he can posthumously name my eyes."
Zhao Ziliang stood up and clasped his fists to the black eunuch and said, "Sir, you can call me Doctor Wang."
The black eunuch nodded and asked: "I heard that Eastern medical skills are very mysterious and magical.
Is this true?"
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "People who don't understand it will think it is mysterious and magical, but it is indeed unique in treating diseases and saving lives, which is unmatched by Western medical techniques.
When it comes to trauma, Western suture techniques are unparalleled.
But other than that, there is nothing special about it.
For example, if one.
When an individual is sick and does not have any trauma, the treatment methods that Western medicine can adopt are extremely limited, which are nothing more than inducing vomiting and bloodletting.
These methods may be very effective for some diseases, but for many diseases, these methods will make the patient's condition worse.
It’s more serious and may even put your life in danger.”
"Maybe you are right."
The black eunuch obviously had no interest in medical skills.
He did not want to have an in-depth conversation with Zhao Ziliang in this regard.
He turned to Alexius and said: "General, in this case, I will go back and ask the emperor Your Majesty has reported the truth, please have a good rest and I look forward to seeing you in the palace soon."
"Okay, please go to the housekeeper and prepare some gifts for the adults to take back, and give them to the adults for me."
"Yes, General" When Constantine was discussing political affairs with ministers and officials in the Golden Palace, the black eunuch sent to announce the decree came back and reported: "Your Majesty, your humble servant is back."
Constantine stopped talking to his ministers and asked: "Has Alexius come?"
"Your Majesty, General Alexius was assassinated in a manor in the suburbs last night.

He was injured and is recovering from his injuries.
He cannot come to see Your Majesty today.
He said that he would see Your Majesty in two or three days after his injury has improved."
Constantine was surprised, "Why Alexius was assassinated and injured?
Who did it?
He was so bold that he dared to assassinate an important minister of the empire."
"Your Majesty, General Alexius didn't say anything, but he definitely knows who did it, but he may not have any evidence, so he doesn't dare to say it casually."
"Hmph," Constantine snorted coldly, "The impact of this incident is too bad.
We must send someone to investigate.
Find out who did it.
We must punish him severely."
"Ahem!"
An old minister coughed twice and stood up.
When everyone saw it, it was Chief Minister Staurakios who stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is necessary to send someone to investigate this matter, because even if you send someone to investigate, Nothing could be found, the assassins If you dare to attack General Alexius, you must be prepared for failure.
Besides, General Alexius did not report this matter.
I think he has some scruples.
Even if His Majesty wants to send someone to investigate, You should also ask him what he knows.”
Constantine thought it made sense and said: "Okay, let's put this matter aside for now.
When Alexius enters the palace, I will ask him if he has anything else to do next."
Staurakios said: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of Empress Dowager Irina living in the official residence of the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty, the nobles, ministers, officials and the people are all talking about it.
Many people blame your Majesty for this matter. , They think that Your Majesty has gone too far.
The Queen Mother has already handed over the power of power.
Why should Your Majesty press hard?
Your Majesty is really violating human ethics.
Of course, there are also some voices supporting Your Majesty."
Constantine slammed the table and said angrily: "Hmph, some people always like to blame me as the emperor for their mistakes.
What has my mother done to me over the years?
I have grown up and am no longer a three-year-old child. , always manipulated me like a fool.
A few days ago, he staged a riot in the seaside prison and instigated thousands of prisoners to storm the palace.
Is this true?
Is this what a mother should do to her son?
Besides, I never gave an order to take such measures against my mother.
I just asked Ferlandrius to investigate the prisoners' attack on the palace.
It was he who acted without authorization.
The matter is messed up.
I have already dismissed him from the military.
Why are you people still holding on to this matter?"
Another official stood up and said: "I believe that His Majesty will not issue such an order.
Now that Ferlandrius has been dismissed, the people are still very dissatisfied and think that this punishment is too light.
If a minister dares to do anything casually, If someone kills the emperor's mother and is only dismissed from his post, many people will definitely follow suit in the future.
If someone dares to do this to His Majesty, will His Majesty just be dismissed from his post?"
"I think the two adults are right."
"Your Majesty, I think that Ferlandrius should be sentenced to death to let everyone understand that the dignity of the royal family cannot be violated at will."
It seemed that everyone stood up to attack Ferlandrius.
This was a blatant attempt to force the emperor's palace.

After Alexius, the emperor's top thug, was deprived of military power and injured in an assassination, the ministers finally started to take action.
Constantine seemed to have no choice but to compromise.
He gritted his teeth with a sullen face and said: "Come here, arrest Ferlandrius":
