Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.
Chapter 492 Please give an answer, Duke!
Although the nobles were unaware of the so-called "dragon disease" that spread through the royal bloodline, their respective families had been ministers for hundreds of years, and the relevant records of successive kings were extremely detailed.
Some Sun Kings are so greedy that they take advantage of every opportunity they get. They have huge treasuries and wish they could grow wings and claws. They even sleep with their money in their arms at night.
Some Sun Wang Mang would drag his ministers to hunt and practice swordplay whenever he had nothing to do, and he was particularly fond of young men with strong physiques.
There are also some Sun Kings who are so cruel that they want to kill people every day. They are so martial that they lead the army in person whenever they have time, and go on expeditions to the bandits outside the capital, and then build a Jingguan to show off their achievements.
But there is one characteristic that all Sun Kings have, and that is a strong possessiveness over their partners.
Therefore, regardless of gender, since ancient times, almost no noble vassal has been able to enter the Sun King's bedroom, let alone see the people inside.
Even "necessities" such as doctors who are indispensable at critical moments are very rare, and they can only come when needed and leave immediately after being done.
If anyone lingers, they will be killed without mercy!
The following is a list of the dead. Five hundred years is about 124 pages. Please read it briefly...
I can only say that it is fortunate that there are no such things as eunuchs in this world. The kings of all dynasties have used beautiful maids in their bedrooms, otherwise I don’t know how many poor children would have to wait for their six senses to be purified.
So Ji Ming had enjoyed the "great grace" before, but the first time he met the king was in someone else's bed, which was simply unreasonable.
But now, but now!
These people in front of me are definitely the people in the king's bedroom. Even if the old king's functional ability has declined severely, and each of them may not even be considered a mistress and he has never touched them, they are still the king's women!
Now that's it...
Oh my god! Your Majesty is crazy!!!
Crazy Old Sun: ...
"Alright, stop standing outside. I asked you to come here. I forgive you. Come over here."
With the guarantee from the king himself, the lords finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Holding up the wine glass, no matter what you were thinking before, now all of them bloomed into a smile as warm as spring.
"Please allow us to use this cup of wine to bless your majesty. May you live long!"
It was only then that a few wise nobles realized: Oh! So this is where His Majesty is hitting!
"Woof woof woof woof! The king has gone mad! Do you want to provoke a mad monarch?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare..."
Moreover, the experienced old sun is also very good at applying the principle of giving a sweet date after a slap.
After asking the waiter to serve wine and food, and letting the dancers, who he couldn't even remember who they were, perform some livelier performance, he raised his glass and began Lao Wang's storytelling session.
"Haha, seeing so many familiar faces today reminds me of the past events of the kingdom that the late king told me about when I was a child..."
Although these are all old sayings that have calluses on everyone's ears, the king, on this occasion, specifically talked about the heroic story of the first Sun King leading the twelve war generals to conquer the east and the west and establish the Glowing Kingdom. The meaning is self-evident.
The nobles were also very tactful and expressed their loyalty.
"Well, to be honest with you, Your Majesty, even though I am already eighty-six years old, every time I hear about these heroic stories, my blood still boils."
"I also grew up listening to these stories. When I think that the heroes in the stories are my ancestors, I don't even feel a headache when I recite the spells."
"Your Excellency the Duke is right! Everyone, let's raise a glass to your Majesty's story!"
With the presence of both funny and supporting actors, the banquet immediately became warm and joyful, with both the guests and hosts having a great time, without any of the awkwardness and awkwardness from before.
They were toasting each other, having a great time, and before they knew it, some of the old guys who couldn't hold their liquor had red cheeks.
"Come!"
Slightly tipsy, the Duke of Xiaguang suddenly picked up his wine glass, stood up, and saluted the king with his tongue sticking out.
"Your Majesty, the story you just told was so wonderful! It also reminded me of the time when we went on adventures together. At that time..."
"Oh, that was such a touching time! Alas, since we inherited our respective family businesses, I haven't seen my elder brother for a long time!"
It is an old tradition for the young nobles of Huiguang to like adventure. After all, the first Sun King was a famous ranger when he was young, and more than half of the Twelve War Marshals were companions he met at that time.
What could most arouse an old man's emotions were his experiences in his youth, so upon hearing this, the Sun King couldn't help but soften his expression, and even stood up and clinked glasses with Xia Guang.
But even at this time, he did not say anything nonsense like "My dear, please come whenever you want in the future", but spoke with great sincerity.
"Alas, we are all heirs of aristocratic families, brother. If you enjoy the benefits of being a young master, you must bear the responsibilities of a master."
It seemed as if he wanted to persuade Duke Xiaguang to be at ease, as there was nothing he could do about it.
But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was clearly an attempt to seduce the nobles present and remind them to put themselves in the right place.
——Since you are a subject, you should not interfere in the monarch's affairs and worry about him.
So Duke Xiaguang nodded heavily when he heard this, and did not rush to speak. Instead, he drank the wine in the glass and closed his eyes for a long time.
"You're right!"
After expressing his feelings, he sat down and began to mutter to himself.
"I think so, too. I really think so..."
But there were so many people on the field, and it was a rare opportunity. Who wouldn't want to talk to His Majesty the King? No one cared what this drunk old man muttered to himself.
So there was another ten minutes of trash talk. After calming down, Duke Xiaguang finally found an opportunity to speak and opened his mouth again.
"Your Majesty, my youngest son is about the same age as we were back then, and he also likes to use swords and shields as weapons just like you do. How about letting him practice with us and liven up the fun?"
"Of course. It just so happens that I haven't seen this nephew for a long time."
The Sun King didn't know what he wanted to do, but after thinking about it, it seemed there was no problem, so he readily agreed.
Although the people present were obviously more interested in the pretty girls, no one wanted to see the young man playing this game...
"Well, wonderful! Finally, there's an exciting show!"
Well, except for the barons who also attended the celebration banquet...
In short, the Duke and the King had to be given face, and everyone showed great interest.
One can only say that he is worthy of being the son of Wu Hou. This man from the Xiaguang family has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is full of heroic spirit. He looks like a young general.
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am Heinz, and I am sorry to show my embarrassment!"
He was efficient and after bowing to everyone present, he took up his stance and demonstrated sword and shield fighting techniques in public.
"Okay, okay, great job!... Actually, I still want to see what happened just now."
"Me too, but her father is a duke, so let's just applaud... Wuhu, good!"
"Yeah yeah yeah! If you move any more vigorously, I'll see it!"
Amid the nobles' whispers and excitement, Heinz did not suddenly change his tactics, like his predecessor who was dancing with a sword at the banquet, but ended his performance very completely.
"it is good!"
Xiaguang immediately stood up and started clapping, and everyone including the king started clapping.
And they couldn't just applaud, because immediately two counts who had a close relationship with Xiaguang, almost like "vassals of a vassal", started to blow the trumpets.
Master Heinz was brave again, as he was able to fight a level 10 monster at the age of fourteen.
Master Heinz is handsome again, and he can charm a lot of pretty girls in Xiaguang County.
At this time, the Sun King already felt something was wrong. Everyone came here to praise me, so why did they suddenly start to embarrass others?
He quietly exchanged a glance with Xiguang and Huguang, and found that although Lord Xi's eyes were still somewhat innocent, Huguang nodded.
——This was obviously arranged deliberately by Duke Xiaguang. What does this old guy want to do?
The Sun King looked around. Although he had been dissuaded by the third royal decree, after five hundred years of glory, the number of nobles was more than mules on the street, so several tables were still set up in the banquet hall.
Therefore, the one who is qualified to eat at the same table with him must be at least a duke, or a big man who can be traced back to the era of the Twelve War Marshals.
However, although the war generals who had fought with the first Sun King in his conquests were all made powerful dukes and became the top figures of this new kingdom, they rose and fell with the country.
But the fortunes of a family always have ups and downs. Five hundred years have passed and the situation is very different. Therefore, apart from him, everyone at the dinner table can be roughly divided into three factions.
One faction is the "money bag" group headed by Duke Arclight. In addition to the two powerful dukes Arclight and Mirrorlight, this faction also has a nominal duke who is only a duke in title and whose strength has declined to the level of a marquis. He relies entirely on serving in the royal capital to maintain his influence.
One faction is the "Sword and Shield" group headed by Duke Xiguang. In this faction, Lord Xi is the only duke with real power. The remaining two dukes, including Moonlight, have been reduced to nominal power and can only follow Lord Xi to make a living.
The last faction, for various reasons, failed to enter the royal capital and take power, and for various reasons, did not join the other two factions, so they could only choose to start their own "opposition faction".
Strictly speaking, this is not a faction. It is just a general term for the remaining nobles for convenience. There is no internal unity.
The most powerful among them were Duke Xiaguang and Duke Liguang. They were almost local tyrants in their respective territories, with large numbers of soldiers and generals, and were very powerful.
But the other three dukes are in a more awkward position. They are not strong enough, and they cannot cling to the powerful dukes. Even if they are at the table now, they can only serve as a pure atmosphere group.
At this time, some friends who are good at mathematics may be puzzled. Wasn’t it agreed that there would be twelve war marshals? Here is 3+3+5, which means there are only eleven dukes in total.
Of course, because this last duke, also the most powerful one, is in Jueqiao Pass, the southernmost part of the kingdom, busy doing business with pioneers and making a lot of money.
Duke Jueqiao: Don't call me, I am happy here and don't miss the capital.
If the interests of the people at the table were divided up, they could act out a play about the Seven Kingdoms of the Warring States Period, so the Sun King did not rush to speak, but continued to watch the performance of this group of people calmly.
Finally, after seeing the two earls inciting everyone to start boasting together, and then quietly dropped the conversation around him.
"hehe."
He pretended not to notice, and made eye contact with the Duke of Xiaguang's drunken eyes, who was also pretending not to know, and chuckled twice.
"Of course, Duke Xiaguang. Although I have heard about you for a long time, it is only after seeing you today that I realize that you are indeed a good parent."
Okay, the hook is straight and the bait is salty, you want to fish, right? Well, I'd like to have a taste!
"This king...feels inferior to me?"
If there was only the first sentence, it would be the leader's politeness after accepting the results of his subordinates' projects, and Lao Xiaguang would have just been humble and that would have been it.
But if you add this last sentence, everything changes!
It must be understood that as a king, no matter how many offspring Anton VI has, one of them will definitely become king in the future.
Therefore, whether or not, his descendants must be the best next generation in the kingdom.
Now the king praises others for their good parenting and feels inferior to them. What does this mean?
Your children are better than the king's children?
Is your family stronger than the king's family?
Are you better than the king?
You·want·to·rebel?
Stop, stop, stop! Don't step on the scale randomly, it can really kill you.
But unfortunately, the Sun King really wanted the Duke of Xiaguang to walk on the scale this time, so the ending tone of the second sentence was raised, which was an obvious questioning tone.
——Please give an answer, our Duke!
Duke of Xiaguang: ...
Oh yes, silence is also an answer.
Faced with this life-threatening question, Xiaguang decisively chose to play dumb. He sat there dazed and swayed, acting like he was too old and didn't hear anything.
This was obviously a concession and a plea for mercy, so the Sun King did not continue to exert pressure.
Instead, he put away the smile on his face and looked at the young man named Heinz.
"Your father and I were good friends when we were young. The young man was always full of energy and quick in doing things, and he seemed to have endless ideas."
"But now he's old, but he's still working hard to take care of the family, arranging everything in detail. Sigh... it's really hard."
Humph, do you really think that I don’t know what you, an old man, usually do in your fiefdom?
Farming, stationing troops, recruiting talents, and from time to time practicing how to bombard the thick city walls and defensive arrays.
Is this something a good lord would do?
"This time the king is in trouble. I heard from the guards that Duke Xiaguang was the first to leave. This friendship and loyalty really touched me and comforted me."
Following the king's orders, he killed the guards and pretended to be loyal to the king and patriotic in front of everyone. But who was he trying to fool?
Without saying anything else, you are a great nobleman with a fiefdom in the northwest, but you refuse to leave the vast north and the nearest Huguo Pass.
You had to go around in a big circle and lead a large number of cavalry to cross the Jumen Pass, which has the highest traffic volume. Do you dare to say that you are not deliberately delaying time! ?
