Realm of Power

"Well, the number of border guards should indeed be increased!"

Plais nodded with an ugly look, and finally chose to give in. He took a deep breath, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "Although I have old grudges with Bonnie, Bertrand, after all, I am Bertrand." Marshal Lant's only orphaned bloodline, the continent was initially determined, this woman is willing to May Feng eat and sleep in the open, leading tens of thousands of troops stationed on the northern line of Ruidian, just like the deceased Duke Berlant, erecting a barrier for the entire inland area to block the ambitions of the prairie people. If Berlant is still alive , you will definitely feel happy about this!”

"People like me who just sit back and enjoy the results are really not qualified to comment."

Plais's eyes were silent, as if he had remembered a lot of past events, and his tone became much gentler. He paused before speaking.

"Grudges will eventually become blurred over time. The rear of Berlant Bonnie's border guards are the three northern counties of the northern economic center with a population of millions in the empire. The reason why the prairie people have not dared to do anything to the inland in recent years. There is no covetous heart, except for His Majesty In addition to being intimidated, you are also concerned about the tens of thousands of powerful cavalry, but your majesty should also think about Berlant Bonnie. After all, she is a woman who is stationed at the border all year round, exposed to wind and rain. Could it be that your majesty Do we really want him to live alone for the rest of his life?"

"I proposed to let her come back, but she didn't want to!"

The fat man's face was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect Plais to say such emotional words, so he could only smile helplessly. In fact, Bonnie Berlant is already quite old. She will be two months after August. Nineteen years old. In this world where people get married at the age of sixteen, twenty-nine years old is definitely an anomaly. Among his women, there are quite a few like Bertrand Bonnie. The secretly stabbed Issa Morel, The tulle flowers of Dorok Cloud. These women, whose life trajectories have been changed by their own intervention, are more or less in an embarrassing situation because of their relationships.

"Since Your Majesty is going to get married again, and marrying one is also a marriage, why don't you solve this problem once and for all!" Plais looked at the fat man's distressed face and said with rare seriousness, "As you said, as a member of the empire The emperor, working hard to expand the bloodline of the empire is also the responsibility of an emperor! Whether an empire can give its ministers and citizens firm confidence, the power of a strong bloodline can be extended to future generations."

"What do you mean, you want me to marry more this time!" The fat man's eyes widened and he looked at his always serious lieutenant in disbelief. Isn't this guy really crazy? He knows that he has a special affinity with women. How can you say such a thing! So tough!

"This should be nothing! I think back then, I once married four wives at once! Unfortunately, even so, my family only has one son and one daughter, which has always made me deeply regretful. If I could have more children, I would not He's as embarrassed as before." Plais said to himself with a calm expression. Under the support of the sunlight shining from the ceiling of the temple, his true colors as an old gangster were clearly revealed.

"Strictly speaking, you should be considered my father-in-law, right?" The fat man smiled angrily, staring at this shameless imperial minister with interest. Today, Prais is a little weird.

"Your Majesty, this is just a matter of public interest! I have absolutely no personal thoughts." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Prais's face. Feeling that His Majesty Falcon's gaze could penetrate the soul, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he said with a slight tremor in his voice:

"Okay. I'm a little tired, you go down first!"

The fat man closed his eyes, waved his hand to Plais somewhat sadly, and rubbed his swollen temples. Plais's face changed slightly, his mouth opened, but in the end he stood up without saying anything. He bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out of the hall.

The fat man stood up from his seat and came to the front of the temple hall. From here, he could see the beautiful scenery in front of him. There were chaotic white clouds floating in the sky with light wind and light clouds. He opened his eyes, sharp as a sword. Looking at Prairie in the distance Looking at Si's back, he sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the changes in the harem structure caused by marrying Felandonya this time have aroused various speculations from all parties. Only after he returned to the country, he was faced with temptations from all parties. has suddenly unfolded,

"Why bother!" The fat man smiled bitterly. From Mao Monaqing's overt or covert hints to Plais's embarrassed escape, all parties wanted to take a look. His Majesty the Emperor once again expanded the imperial harem. How big is the scale of determination? Mao Monaqing's test made Fatty hesitate a little, but he soon felt relieved.

After all, as the mother of the only emperor and prince of the empire, the Maomo family in the western region of the empire has high hopes. For the sake of her son and family, no matter how smart and smart Maomo Naqing is, she cannot escape the commonality of women for thousands of years.

The Wikiya faction led by Mao Monaqing is getting bigger day by day and has covered half of the empire. It may not be the result of Fatty's acquiescence.

The power of the empire cannot be dispersed. In the power structure of the imperial harem, the Ruidian faction has grudges against the grassland people, the Nords, and the Doroks. Although they have the most prominent royal bloodline in the mainland, they also have grudges. He is also the enemy of everyone. This is definitely not a suitable candidate for consideration as the next generation successor to the empire.

While the Nord faction has an independent personality, Princess Nod has an indifferent personality. Although she is resolute, brave and daring to take on responsibilities, she does not have the strategic vision to win over other forces to become a supporter. Just like the noble lotus in this harem, she appreciates her It looks okay, but if we really want to be involved in Feng Canyunxue's struggle, it would be good to be able to protect ourselves.

Compared with the above two factions that have real royal blood, but only come from regional aristocratic blood, Mao Monaqing from the west is undoubtedly outstanding. As Fatty's most admired confidante, Bingxue is smart, courageous and ambitious.

Making good friends with the grassland people is undoubtedly equivalent to attracting a strong support, which can tolerate the independent existence of the southern Dillens and Hulun people, and directly shows that it is willing to give Hulun Feilin's illegitimate daughter the status she deserves. Showing its extraordinary means of win-over,

Even if Fatty knew that he must have made certain promises to these forces secretly, he had to accept Mao Monaqing's favor, and the Dillens and Hulen tribes chosen by Mao Monaqing happened to be within the forces within the empire. , there are a few forces that are allowed to have their own independent armies, although each retains not much, only limited to 50,000 people according to the treaty. But two 50,000 people, or 100,000 at a critical moment, an army of 100,000, can completely control the southern region of Vikia, the core of the empire, in the shortest possible time.

At that time, the Maomo family sent troops to the center, the grassland soldiers sent troops to the north, Statunko's southern army marched into Lod, and the generals of the Vekia faction held a pillar-like position in the armies of various places. As long as the grassland people don't forcefully launch an attack in the north, Fatty is quite confident that

If he really unfortunately dies for some reason one day, the mother of his first child, Mao Monaqing's Wikiya faction, can still stabilize the situation of the empire, instead of being like many once powerful empires. After the death of the talented and ambitious first generation king, he immediately fell into turmoil. The country is divided,

And according to the fact that the prairie people have been repeatedly weakened by themselves, and coupled with the upcoming great migration, the possibility of daring to use this opportunity to rebel is very low.

At least Rui Tangtingna, the little fox who has completely relied on the big tree of the empire, will not. The rebellion will do no good to Rui Tangtingna. Although there are many subordinates, they have already been broken by the empire. Sitting on the fertile pastures and enjoying the wealth brought by trade with the empire, the prairie chiefs were happily counting gold coins in their tents. They don't think that a cruel and endless war with the empire is a very cost-effective thing. The bravery of the grassland warriors can fully show their strength in the Empire's Oparo region. A large amount of land and wealth are waiting for them.

This is what Fatty has been quietly changing for several years. Weakening the regional aristocracy and strengthening the rise of merchants are actually all to ensure that there can only be one real center of power in the empire, and the sacrifices made when necessary are tolerable. ,

Especially after he found out very helplessly that his harem structure would bring danger to the country's future, Fatty made such a decision in his heart,

Such a decision is a bit cruel for a fat man, or for any sentimental man with multiple wives. The so-called sacrifice means giving up, which is likely to result in death.

But as an emperor, it is a choice that must be made.

The reason why the emperor's heart is cold is not only because of its powerful decision-making power, which can determine the life and death of countless creatures, but also because it is destined to give up some choices.

Because of this, Fatty doesn't want to bring more beloved women into his harem, just like Bertrand Bonnie. There are a few people who can understand Fatty's painstaking efforts. If there is real turmoil, Berlantbonnie Ni's border guards are undoubtedly a force worth wooing, and they can completely sit back and watch.

According to the relationship between Mao Monaqing and Berlant Bonnie, there should be no war between the two. The final result of the negotiation will be a union. If Berlant Bonnie can seize this opportunity, she may not be able to become an important minister of either party. , it can be regarded as fulfilling his original promise to this female knight who returned home sadly holding her late father's ashes.

As for the secret assassination, Fatty has already made it shift its focus towards Opalo. He himself does not want the empire's hidden blade to be stained with the blood of his own people. The business alliance has already formed its own system. No matter who is the last Even if you are in power, you will not be stupid enough to shake this cash cow.

Dorok's Cloud should have arrived at Oparo by now! The unique dance of this generation of dancers really makes people look forward to it

The fat man looked at the sky above his head, with a pair of deep black eyes. The sharp gaze seemed to want to penetrate the top of the blue sky. Seeing the place behind the sky, Messi Jielin was worthy of being a courageous leader. In order to protect herself, The rebellious sister gave up the status of Dorok Cloud in exchange for the empire's acceptance of Dorok Cloud. Now she undoubtedly saw the turbulent undercurrent in the empire's harem and made preparations in advance to avoid trouble.

Plais's performance made Fatty feel a little confused, and he had to consider, which side did this important minister of the empire stand in this invisible storm sweeping across the upper echelons of power in the empire?

As the first imperial minister who dared to tentatively propose expanding the size of the harem in front of him, was it for the benefit of the millions of Ruidian people standing behind him? Is it for the only remaining princess of the Ruidian royal family? Or is it for more reasons? Fatty didn't know this. At least, Fatty had warned Plais just now. According to Plais' astuteness, he should have realized that the layout of the harem has His Majesty Falcon's will in it and cannot be touched. The bottom line!

Beside the carriage at the entrance to the Temple Mount, two imperial officers in black uniforms were waiting. One of them saw Plais, the deputy curator of the empire, walking down the circular mountain path with some staggering steps. He hurriedly greeted him,

This is a young officer with flaxen hair. He is handsome and tall. He is breathing in the wind as he walks. He asks anxiously.

"Lord Plais, how is the situation?"

"Your Majesty didn't say it clearly, but I saw it, and it was a rejection!"

Plais glanced at the young officer who came over, and shook his head with a haggard expression. He seemed to have aged a lot, and said decisively, "Tell those people behind you that this matter will stop here. Your Majesty has no possibility of letting go. Don't think that His Majesty can play these little tricks just because he is in Oparo. Your Majesty did not directly challenge it." You know this, you already care about me! You know, what Your Majesty doesn’t like the most is to be plotted against!

'alright. That's it! If it weren't for the sake of Her Royal Highness, I would never get involved! ! "

Plais waved his hand and said something angrily to another middle-aged officer standing next to the car door. Pulling open the car door very cooperatively, Plais stepped onto the carriage, followed by the middle-aged officer, and then pulled the car door shut.

The carriage turned forward, leaving behind the young officer who was still stunned on the roadside.

"Lord Plais, are you going to ignore the six million Redian compatriots?" The young officer was anxious. Regardless, he ran after the carriage and shouted loudly, "Can you bear to see Her Royal Highness being bullied?"

The carriage went faster and faster. The officer was panting and could only stop. Looking at the carriage that turned into a small black dot, he angrily kicked a stone on the side of the road and cursed angrily, "It turns out Rui Erdian's spine is just like this." That’s all, it’s so disappointing! I want to go back and tell everyone about this coward’s behavior! Damn it! It’s just a Vekian dog!”

After the officer finished cursing, he waved his hand behind him, and two light cavalrymen in military uniforms came out of the dense forest not far away.

The carriage drove quickly on the road, making a clattering sound,

Plais's face was as gloomy as water, and he intertwined ten fingers and placed them on his chin. His mind was still filled with His Majesty Falcon's sharp gaze that seemed to penetrate everything. He could still feel the coolness behind his back. According to what he said about the dead fat man He knew very well what it was, it was the anger of His Majesty Falcon!

The middle-aged officer sitting opposite him carefully took out his folder, took out a document and handed it to him.

"What is this?" Plais glanced at the document and did not take it. Instead, he frowned in surprise. If it weren't for this middle-aged officer's unusual relationship with him, the fiery-tempered Plais might have long ago Throwing the document out the window

The middle-aged officer's face turned pale. He seemed to know the temper of this important imperial minister very well. He quickly whispered, "These are some comments about this marriage from Palaven. I copied them all. I believe in my father's judgment." It will be of some help”

"Wind review?"

Plais showed a trace of surprise, and even a trace of relief. He glanced at the middle-aged officer opposite him unexpectedly, touched the documents on the table, opened them page by page, and said, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to have grown up." It has reached this point. It seems that I asked you to stay in Pa A place like Lavin is a very correct choice. Facing the torrent of the times, only those who are in it will know what an irresistible feeling is. Persistence is not as simple as words say, and the final result is only or There are two ways to obey, or to perish!”

The face shape of this middle-aged officer is very similar to that of Plais. He is Plais' eldest son, Prai Shao, who is now a management official of the Falcon Empire in the Palavon area. As an important minister of the empire, Plai Shao Si's son, Pula Shao's promotion was not smooth, but Pula Shao did not dare to complain at all, because he knew very well that there were countless pairs of eyes staring in the dark at the Pula family that had experienced great rise and fall in Ruidian. , if you are promoted too quickly, it will become a basis for criticism from the other party.

"Father, my son doesn't understand. Is this really so difficult?" Pula Shao cautiously glanced at her father, who was looking down at the documents, and said cautiously, "Since His Majesty can choose to open the harem again for the sake of the balance of the northern grassland, Why can't we marry more? "

"What do you know? It's not as simple as marrying several wives!" Plais lowered his head and looked at the document, seeming to be amused by some of the contents above. He said with a smile, "Why do you think those wealthy families in Palawan To be so enthusiastic about this matter, just look at the families that have entered His Majesty's harem now and you will know which one is not the core of the empire's power.

As a result of the original marriage with His Majesty Falcon, he became part of the new power structure of this powerful empire.

However, as the center of power in the mainland for thousands of years, Palavon's wealthy families will naturally not be willing to be excluded from this power structure.

Originally they didn't have much hope, but His Majesty the Falcon didn't stand up to the pressure this time and actually restarted the marriage of domestic forces. This will undoubtedly give people some inappropriate speculations! "

Retracting his gaze from the document, Prais took a deep breath, put the document down, looked at the flying forest outside the window, and said, "And in this matter, it may not be without the tacit consent of Her Royal Highness, otherwise, how could those wealthy families have such courage? This is what I am worried about. I hope Her Royal Highness will not do anything stupid! "(To be continued. Please search for Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
