Chapter 82: Tazmi
Minister Ornest swallowed the meat in his mouth and said, "Hehehe, Your Majesty, don't worry, I have issued a recall order to General Bude and General Esders at the front. At that time, the night attack It's just a bunch of jumping clowns."
"The recall of General Budd and General Esders will affect the front line?" Emperor Eddie Andy wondered.
"Your Majesty, not at all." Minister Ernest shook his head.
Standing below, the officials loyal to the Empire looked at Minister Ernest in horror. You must be a fool. Seeing that the Empire is about to put down this long-standing rebellion, you are now bringing back the two strongest men of the Empire.
No matter how rampant the night attack is now, it is not enough to recall these two generals to deal with them. Even if you say that the night attack will threaten the life of the emperor, but under the heavy protection of the guards, the night attack sneaking into the palace is simply a death sentence.
To tell the truth, officials loyal to the empire also hope to kill more at night raids, and eliminate all these officials who were promoted by ministers. Make the corruption of the empire less severe, while weakening the power of the ministers.
In fact, if you just look at the results of the previous actions, the night attack seems to be helping the empire, while Minister Ernest is assisting the revolutionary army from beginning to end.
"Then..." Emperor Eddie Andy just opened his mouth, when suddenly a voice from below interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, no! You can't recall General Budd and General Esders yet."
Everyone's eyes followed the source of the sound, and they saw a handsome middle-aged man with a beard in a suit.
He is the current Imperial Household Officer, Clive. It is precisely because of his existence that officials loyal to the empire have the backbone, consolidate their strength, and prevent Minister Ernest from being eliminated one by one.
"Your Majesty, now is the time of the decisive battle. If General Budd and General Esders are recalled to the imperial capital, it will undoubtedly give those rebels a chance to breathe."
"Also, although the night attack is rampant, it has not reached the level of recalling General Bude and General Esders together. We can recall General Esders first and let General Bude continue to suppress the revolution. Army." Interior Minister Clive gave such a plan after weighing the pros and cons.
In his opinion, although the combat effectiveness of those northern foreign nationalities was ten times stronger than that of the Revolutionary Army, the Revolutionary Army secretly mastered many pieces of Tegu, and often dispatched powerful Tegu envoys to decapitate the Empire. Not to mention that the uprising of the revolutionary army is to incite the domestic people, and the degree of harm is even greater than that of the foreign nations in the north and the kingdoms of the west.
"Minister, what do you think?" Facing the interior official's proposal to have the best of both worlds, Emperor Eddie Andy instead asked the minister Ornest next to him.
Minister Ornest smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the Home Secretary Clive, obviously ignored His Majesty's safety. I suspect that he is creating an opportunity for the night attack, leaving the palace guards empty all the time, I suggest that Clive is now Arrest and interrogate."
Minister Ernest didn't even bother to make up a lie, so he casually placed a charge on the interior minister. But such a nonsense, the emperor who was only seven or eight years old believed it!
"Well," Emperor Eddie Andy nodded and said, "The minister is right. Someone has put Clive, the interior official, in jail and tortured him strictly."
As soon as the voice fell, two guards in heavy armor walked in, grabbed the interior officer Clive, and dragged him out.
The interior officer Clive looked sluggish and didn't make any shouts, and was dragged out by the Janissaries quietly. In the past, he thought that the emperor was blinded by the ministers when he was young and ignorant. When the emperor grew up and sensible, the situation of the empire would improve.
Now other officials loyal to the Empire and General Bude think so too, but they are all wrong.
When the emperor grows up, it is indeed possible that he will no longer be deceived by the ministers. But before the emperor grows up, this country is likely to be devoured by the strongest "undercover" Minister Ernest of the revolutionary army.
Looking at Clive's desperate expression, Minister Ernest's smile grew stronger and stronger, and said, "Clive, I will help you take care of your beautiful wife and daughter, all over your body."
Clive, who had just been dragged out of the palace gate, recovered his senses and roared, "Your Majesty! The empire will be destroyed by Ernest one day! Your Majesty..."
Then his voice gradually faded away, and all the officials present lowered their heads and pretended to be invisible. And the officials loyal to the empire are full of despair. Can such an emperor and such a country still be saved?
This is the darkness of the empire. The emperor was young and ignorant and blindly believed in Minister Ornest, while General Bude, who was the only one capable of overthrowing Minister Ornest, stubbornly followed the teachings of his ancestors. Generals cannot interfere in politics. Therefore, even if General Bude knew the corrupt behavior of the ministers and others, he did not intervene. At most, he used his authority to shelter officials loyal to the empire.
At night, except for certain areas in the bustling imperial capital, all other places became silent.
A brown-haired boy squatted beside the avenue, looked up at the street lights above, and said, "The registration for the army failed, and Sayou and Iyeas don't know what's going on now."
In order to save the village from the dilemma, the three of them came to the imperial capital to get ahead. But unexpectedly, he was attacked by thieves on the way and got separated. He, Sayou and Ayeas were separated.
"First I couldn't join the army, and then I was cheated of the money I got from hunting dangerous species all the way by that hateful woman." Tazmi reached out and scratched his hair, "Ah! Why am I so unlucky? !"
blah blah blah...
Tazmi suddenly heard the sound of hooves in his ears, looked up, and saw a group of soldiers in armor coming from a distance sitting on tall Humvees.
"Where is it?" Tazmi fixed his eyes and saw the unusually tall and dignified man in the lead.
"General Bud!"
Tazmi recognized the visitor immediately. This was his idol. In the village, he would take out the portrait of General Budd that he got from his master every morning and take a look. Since listening to the deeds of General Budd, the veteran master who taught him swordsmanship in the village, he has regarded General Budd as his idol and target.
He came to the imperial capital to join the army, first to save the village from the dilemma. The second is to meet his idol, General Bude.
