To Four Thousand Years Later

Today marks the second week of His Majesty Solomon's accession to the throne.

In the past week, too many things have happened. Their beloved old king and the newly grown-up second prince were murdered by assassins, and even His Majesty Solomon was able to save his life thanks to Lord Turpin.

But on the day His Majesty Solomon ascended the throne, the two-tailed comet in the sky made people feel a little uneasy.

Some said it was proof that heaven had glorified the new king. But there are still some who firmly believe. This is a harbinger of chaos in the country.

Maybe they're right. On the third day of His Majesty Solomon's enthronement

Coincidentally, these ten nobles had either just visited His Majesty Solomon, or were about to go. In short, they are all in the capital. His Majesty Solomon attached great importance to this letter, and when the next wave of nobles came to visit, he immediately asked Yin Tieba to catch them on the spot. And found that when they saw the king, they had weapons with them. According to what was written in the letter, he sent people to check the rooms where the nobles lived, and found packages of poison.

So His Majesty Solomon was furious and immediately arrested them.

He immediately submitted the evidence to the Holy See, asking the Holy See to beat them as stalwarts. Because the evidence was too detailed, even the archbishop personally went out to recite the names and crimes of those people in public, and the efficiency was extremely fast under the wrath of His Majesty Solomon. He had their whole family convicted and hanged in one day. Forty-six corpses of the blood relatives of eleven noble families are still hanging at the east gate of Yashen City, and people who enter and leave the city can look up and see them.

The decisiveness and ruthlessness of Roman I surprised the Frankish nobles. Many people at once came to visit their king's majesty, and paid him many gifts and pledged their loyalty.

Sixty percent of those original red names changed decisively from light red to green.

And those whose heads were still not green, and those who became redder, were silently recorded by Charles in the small notebook.

He believes that anyone who has the courage not to be cowardly at a time like this must have a problem.

Coincidentally, more than 80% of these 40% of the people coincided with the list of traitors given to him by Baimon.

Facts have proved that if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. However, when Solomon I was in Yeshen, people with a heart were aware of the commonality of the ten nobles who were executed.

All of them saw that it was the nobleman who was promoted by Dujuanhou or subordinate to Dujuanhou. They die. The Wallachia region to which Marquis Dujuan belonged was almost hollowed out.

At this time, a gossip that "Your Majesty has murderous intentions towards Marquis Du Juan" was widely circulated among nobles and scholars.

This is not so much gossip as it is a reasonable speculation.

The daughters he sent to the palace murdered kings and princes and even tried to murder the present king. Any of these crimes is enough to make Du Juanhou exterminate his family and ransack his home, let alone the combined punishment of the three crimes.

But the problem is that although Du Juanhou is very annoying in terms of team style. However, as the Marquis of the Eastern Region, he not only controlled six provinces, he also indirectly owned a quarter of the entire land of Falk before the eleven nobles were killed. The most important thing is that he holds heavy soldiers.

Du Juanhou was not as easy to deal with as the eleven nobles who were killed.

With just a few silver iron guards, they can be arrested without sending out troops. If King Solomon I really planned to arrest Du Juan Wu... then what the Frankish Kingdom was facing. I'm afraid it will be a huge civil strife. Du Juanhou didn't even have to fight to the death with Solomon I's army. As long as he reached an agreement with the Gothic king and opened all the eastern borders, the Gothic army could directly attack the Frankish hinterland. The few fortresses built in the east can be said to be useless.

And when the situation became more and more tense, Du Juanhou was the first to admit cowardice.

He asked his younger brother to come to Yashen City to visit the king instead of him.

His younger brother came to Yachen after passing through the east gate with many corpses floating around, expressed his apology to Solomon I for being late, and scolded the captured witches.

Then he said that the captured witch was not the second daughter of Du Juan Hou's family. In this sentence, he actively asked Tuping to detect lies. The honest-looking middle-aged man claimed that just two years ago, their second daughter ran away because she couldn't bear the hardship. They didn't know the witch in the palace at all, but the problem was always with their family, so they decided to send ten carts of gold, ten carts of jewels, six carts of spices and thirty beautiful maids as an apology, and sent Of the eleven nobles, the lands of seven families belonging to his nobles were returned to the king. That means. The quarter of the Frankish land controlled by Marquis Du Juan was suddenly reduced to less than one-eighth.

But he didn't say a word about the army he belonged to.

Solomon I accepted their offer immediately. Except for the thirty maids, he accepted all the gifts from the Marquis, and immediately declared that the Marquis was his faithful friend—the wicked witch was to be executed, and he would give back the gift this winter. Du Juanhou's younger brother Ding Ruodong watched the corpses that had just begun to decompose, and Solomon issued an announcement the day after he left Aachen. He explained the matter about Du Juanhou and exonerated them innocently. And distribute such announcements in the eastern territory developed by Marquis Dujuan to help him calm down the unrest of the subjects.

So the conflict between the king and the marquis seemed to have disappeared, and some kind of compromise was reached—at least for ordinary people, they seemed to be like this, and they were satisfied with such a result. But the more enthusiastic Solomon I was, the more enthusiastic the Marquis was. The more uneasy.

He also knew very well about Prince Charles' military exploits on the western border. He naturally knew that the new king was not the kind of person who would be bought by money. He originally planned to deal with the matter after a series of bargaining, bloodshed, and even the death of a few people.

But unexpectedly, the king agreed to their request for peace so easily. This made the suspicious Guyvari: Marquis of Poitou very disturbed. And Solomon I lightly rejected the simple news from the maid sent by their family, which always made him feel uneasy.

His wife, a veteran aristocrat from the Gothic Kingdom, and the eldest daughter of the Schultz family thought that this might be a trap set by Solomon I. The purpose is to paralyze them, weaken their influence in the east, and then take them down in one fell swoop.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, he sent someone to secretly hiss the notice posted by Solomon I at night. In order to pretend that he didn't do it himself, he even issued a special arrest warrant to let people find out about the matter. Just when everything seemed to be developing in a stable place, Juivari Povato received another news that made him jump.

Carloman's wife, Princess Goboga is missing. It was also reported that she left with the car of Du Juanhou's family, intending to avenge her husband Carloman and kill Juyi Varipovatu. Solomon I immediately expressed his position and severely condemned her ignorance. And asked Du Juanhou to hand over the man, so as not to hurt his peace.

God **** hell! This is true! Where can I find you a princess? ! Juivari suddenly felt as uncomfortable as a dog.
