To Four Thousand Years Later

Vol 3 Chapter 117: "Stable"

In the eyes of the high priests of Persia, since the stone king Benito was assassinated by the nobles, the Gothic kingdom has actually been under the control of the new Frankish king Charles.

The new king, who has been in office for less than a year, was named Solomon I and has the full support of the current Pope Leo III of the Solomon Church. Prior to this, his younger brother, Prince Carloman, another heir of Frank, was killed by Gothic assassins the day before his succession, along with their father Pepin III.

On the first day after his succession, he coincidentally received an anonymous report letter, and obtained detailed evidence of ten nobles' rebellion against the country. And within three hours after receiving the letter, hidden weapons and poisons were found from several of them, so the direct heirs of their family, a total of 46 lives, were all executed for treason. Seeing King Solomon furious, people immediately realized that the young new king was not easy to provoke. But the wise people saw their commonality—all of these eleven noble families supported King Solomon’s benevolence. Only the direct heirs of these ten noble families were executed and their land and property were confiscated, The exhibition did not impose more punishment. But when they died, Marquis Du Juan immediately lost all his political allies.

Afterwards, King Solomon declared that Prince Carloman's concubine and son were taken away by Marquis Dujuan, and Marquis Dujuan also admitted and prepared to return them. But a week later, Du Juanhou was killed by a Gothic assassin by coincidence. His territory was also inherited by his son Leonardo, who was sent by the prince.

And the territories of the eleven noble families were inherited by Earl Nils and Leonardo of the Champagne region. Count Nils thus became the new Marquis of Wallachia.

So far, after a series of coincidences, only the Holy See remained in the entire Frankish Kingdom and was not completely subordinate to King Solomon. After that, Adrian Shi was also coincidentally killed by an assassin from Goth. What's more, the next generation Pope Leo Shi was still a supporter of King Solomon. Same as all previous assassins. They all died by coincidence, and the causes of death were connected with each other, but in short, it was the Goths' fault, and the benefits were all King Solomon's. It can be said that it is a coincidence that the same thing happens once or twice, but this cycle follows one another, and there have been at least five assassinations that can be recorded in the annals of history in three months. His father and brothers, the small and medium nobles who opposed him, the great nobles who were most alienated from the royal family, the uncontrolled leader of the Holy See, and the enemy king who was responsible for all the above.

Then a more coincidental thing happened

- Could this be pure coincidence? The Persian priests scoffed at this. If the Gothic assassins were really so powerful that they could kill whoever they said they wanted, they would have annexed Frank Persia and Egypt long ago. There was indeed an assassin organization in the world that was so capable that no one saw them make a move, and maybe the inheritance has been cut off. So the answer is self-evident.

They were not killed by assassins, but by King Solomon's plot. Everyone is counting on that person...he is the root of all troubles.

After a series of discussions, the high priests of Persia made a very wise choice to make friends with King Solomon in advance at all costs. It is easy to understand that King Solomon and King Stone were enemies. After all, Frank and Goth belong to the same line. Going forward for a thousand years, everyone is Rome. Under the pressure of Persia, Gothic heavyweight and the current Pope Leo III of Solomonism also openly crowned him as "King of Franks, King of Goths, King of Wales, King of Caravan". "King Taichi", "Emperor of the Romans"; he declared that the day Charles came to the throne was "the day when Rome was reborn and the sun was three", and he claimed that Charles was the "successor of King Solomon and St. Augustus". What?

There is no doubt that neither the Solomons nor King Solomon had any interest in Persia! After the high priests analyzed the matter, they felt rejoiced.

It is true that under the protection of Ahura, the Lord of Wisdom, they will not be afraid of intrigue. But they are still real rebels after all. If they declare war with the Franks, it will undoubtedly give Morrie a chance.

Although... their rebellion was actually following orders.

a few days. The high priests heard Ahura's voice. He issued an order to everyone, "You should expel the high priest Mori, and restore the throne of the holy king to glory. You can use all taboo methods, but you must not let Kawad see blood when he grows old. Nor let him die perish"

This order encouraged the high priests and gave them confidence.

They definitely don't fully agree with Zhenli, and even look down on him.

After all, apart from Mori, all the high priests are not only the best priests, but also the best in all walks of life, each with their own merits, and any adult Persian probably knows who they are and what they have done . And each of them has countless disciples: their disciples, their disciples' disciples...all together, they are almost the next generation of Sasanian Persia. These high priests are even more famous among the people than the kings of other countries. So apart from being the son of King Kawad VI, what merits does Shinriichi have? What research did you do? What new discoveries and inventions have been made? What poems or plays did you write? No. Morrie didn't do anything, he didn't know anything, he knew a little bit of martial arts, and all he thought about was fighting. Morrie, like his sleazy mother, had the blood of a fool in his veins. But such Mori has become an existence with the same reputation as them, and even wants to become the next generation of holy kings. As long as people who oppose this matter, even if they are high priests, they will be expelled from the country by Kawad VI, and even deprived of their religious status, how can they be convinced? How can they not worry? They did not hesitate to rebel against the Holy King, brutally killed dozens of colleagues, even sealed off the passage leading to the basement, injected poisonous gas, and completely destroyed Mori. If Ahura didn't let them kill Li, Mori would have been designed to kill him long ago. Now Zhenli's reputation in Persia is completely ruined, and it is impossible for him to return to his country. Once the legions he led knew that he was charged with killing the king, they might feel a rift in their hearts. It only takes one colossal defeat for these ignorant warriors to start doubting themselves. At this time, as long as the high priests express that if they resubmit, then all the past will be forgotten. How many people will abandon Mori and return to Persia?

After all, their parents and wives are still in Persia. If they treason, how will their relatives be treated?

To set up such a dead end, they only need to ignite the fuse and defeat the elite army led by Mori head-on.

So they decided to cooperate with the Frankish Kingdom to defeat the Kingslayer Real. On the one hand, take this opportunity to establish friendship with King Solomon, on the other hand, you can also use the hand of King Solomon to get rid of your worries; if Zhenli really defeated King Solomon's demon army in Gothic territory, then wait for these soldiers to return to Persia. The territory can also expand westward progressively.

This is a lore that will be beneficial to Persia no matter what happens.

The high priests felt they had seen the future.
