Chapter 77 The Grand Duke Summons
As Kyiv gradually regained its calm, the grassland became more and more chaotic.

Since Bruce's death and defeat spread throughout the grassland, the fragile peace of the grassland was quickly broken, and the scuffle immediately began.

At first, there were only some small conflicts over the water source of the grassland, but it soon turned into fighting and annexation among the tribes, and the intensity intensified like wildfire on the grassland.

The grassland is once again full of wars, there is no trust between the tribes, every day you have to worry about the attack from your neighbors, new alliances are constantly rising and breaking, the moment the alliance is formed, it is preparing for betrayal, everyone He has the greatest vigilance against his neighbors, and his heart of betrayal is also ready to move under his vigilance.

Also because of the chaos in the grassland, many small tribes who escaped the war came to Ross and surrendered to Ross in exchange for protection. The number of grassland tribes on the border of Ross continued to increase.

Although Rus was unwilling to accept the tribes from the steppe due to the raging black hats in Kyiv, but the nomads want to live on the border, how can the Russ stop it, especially in this Yaroslav dying, where the Rus political machine is half in a stopped state.

It is said that Bruce's tribe has been destroyed by the siege of many tribes. His son Saru fled to the farther east with his tribe and disappeared on the political stage of Rose and the grassland.

Speaking of this, the Grand Duke is actually planning to crusade against those tribes who fled the battlefield and plundered Kyiv. The scolding and arrest of them before was just superficial, but due to the physical condition of the Grand Duke, this plan can only I can put it down for a while.

The large army that was summoned also dispersed. After such a long war, Kyiv and its affiliated areas are no longer able to support such a large army. Everyone is very satisfied. The livestock, gold and silver obtained from the Polovets While satisfying the princes and nobles, it is also enough to make everyone earn a lot of money.

Today's production and life in Kyiv have returned to normal-provided you don't look at the corpses hanging in the square-but there is always a weird atmosphere, because everyone knows that Yaroslav will not live long.

Under such an atmosphere, people's minds naturally change. Under the seemingly calm water surface, the waves are turbulent. The dignitaries are all cooperating with each other. Some people have even begun to calculate the distribution of power in the post-Yaroslav era.

Rostislav even heard discussions about the distribution of power after the death of the Grand Duke in the market, and right now the whole city is most concerned about this matter.

Naturally, Rostislav was often visited by people. General Polei came to the door many times to persuade him to prepare as soon as possible. Uncle Veshata also sent a letter from Sicheng (Smolensk) to let him pay attention to the changes in the situation. Most recently served as the mayor of Pine City.

Rostislav also understood the purpose of the Grand Duke's appointment, and it was undoubtedly the Grand Duke's reward for his achievements—Vishata was the most hardcore of his faction.

The City of Si is located in the center of Ross, where the east, west, and north meet. Obtaining control of this place can be said to control the lifeline of Ross. The reward of the Grand Duke is indeed too precious.

It also made Rostislav couldn't help but look forward to his grandfather's will, where he would announce the allocation of the Ross land after his death. Where would he be allocated?

It is also ironic to say that the ruler who once radiated infinite light and heat in Kyiv can only fall on the bed weakly, with only a few soldiers accompanying him, and his descendants, his subjects, and his people are all Looking forward to his early death, so that the old grandfather's inheritance can be divided up, so that the current political game can be reshuffled, so that new changes can be ushered in.

However, Rostislav did not prepare anything according to the suggestions of his subordinates. Yaroslav has ruled for so many years and established a very complete political system. In history, his will guaranteed the peace of Yaroslavitch for ten years. Anyone who dares to make trouble at this juncture is courting death.

Rostislav seized the time to perfect his "Biography of Yaroslav". If this book is not dedicated to his grandfather now, there will be no chance.Fortunately, this book has already entered the final stage. If it weren't for this sudden Polove War, he would have finished it long ago.

After completing the discussion of the Polovt War and the description of the series of events after Yaroslav's return to Kyiv, Rostislav put a stop to the book and immediately sent the chronicle to Vlaky Mir Palace.

And not long after, Rostislav received an order summoned by the Grand Duke.

Passing through the queue of guards in front of the Vladimir Palace, Rostislav once again walked into the power center of this Ross. During this sensitive period, the security of the palace has been raised several levels, and the number of guards has been reduced. Directly doubled.

Rostislav felt a lot of strange sights when he entered the Vladimir Palace. The prince turned his head and saw many strange figures looking away, and also saw these people communicating silently with their eyes.

Rostislav understood that these people were spies from various parties, and everyone was waiting for the news, the news of Yaroslav's death, because the impact of this news would shake the entire Ross, and the impact would be immeasurable.

Walking past the majestic Tithe Church, passing the two bronze war horses brought back by the "Holy One" Vladimir from the Eastern Empire city in the south, and passing through the well-kept gardens, Rostislav walked to the palace.The captain of the Grand Duke's personal army had been waiting for a long time, and he led Rostislav into the center of power in all of Rus.

When entering the door of the Grand Duke's chamber, Rostislav first heard the singing of poetry and poetry, which he had heard before:

"Alas, the years I have spent, where have they gone?
Are lives just a dream, or are they not real?
The things I once believed in, do they really exist?
Maybe I fell into a deep sleep and couldn't explain them one by one.

......"

This is the poem Rostislav heard at the banquet where he defeated the Polovets. He still remembers how touched his grandfather was, and even shed tears. This was the first time he saw his grandfather cry.

The captain of the bodyguard walked in with the prince, and stood quietly aside, letting the poet finish his performance, and the poet was the Gaelic who played at the celebration banquet.

After the chanting, following the Grand Duke's gesture, the poet bowed and retreated, and Tika also left following the gesture. Now, only Yaroslav and his grandson were left in the room.

Rostislav saw with his own eyes that there was a book in Yaroslav's hand, it had a red cover, and he was familiar with this book.

This is his "Biography of Yaroslav".
