Chapter 231 The Beginning of Turmoil

The news about Dasa's assassination shocked the entire palace. Azshara was furious after hearing this. She immediately summoned Xavius ​​and asked him to investigate the matter with all his strength. The murderer who tried to assassinate Dasa must be found. .After hearing this, Xavius ​​accepted this task very seriously.

After leaving the main hall, Xavius ​​went to the library. He wanted to get some information from Dasa.Dasa also wanted to find out who he was after his resurrection, so he sent assassins to kill him so recklessly.

After he killed this group of assassins neatly, Daza also made a special effort to confirm the identities of these assassins, which left him a little confused.

These assassins are not even all of the same race.

In addition to elves, the assassin also saw snakemen, foxmen, goblins and even a kobold; except for the pandas and buffalo men, almost all known races in the empire were here.

With such a mixed bag of assassins, Dasa could only focus on the existing bureaucrats and nobles, because under the current situation, only these guys had the power to mobilize such a large number of assassins.

It was not that he had never suspected Eludis Palace, but Dasa really couldn't find a specific person to suspect in the palace. At first, he had doubts about Azshara.

The reason is simple. Her own existence is likely to affect her own imperial power.

But then, Daza rejected this very unreliable speculation. If Azshara really wanted to kill her ancestor, she would not use such a clumsy method.

All she had to do was declare to the outside world that she was a liar, and that was enough.

What's left is that she can summon the Imperial Army to kill her.

As for the contemporary Zul, to be honest, Dasa does not think that he has any conflict with the other party. The other party still plays a role in stabilizing the current situation in the empire.

He is not a contemporary emperor, so the opposition between imperial power and prime minister power does not exist.

Naturally, Dasa could only place his suspicion on the five special princes who guarded the empire's borders.

When Xavius ​​visited Dasa that night, the two discussed Dasa's assassination for a while, which made Dasa feel bad about the five princes who guarded the border.

Xavius ​​left Eludis Palace after discussing with Dasa. After chatting with Dasa for a while, he gradually outlined a very suitable plan in his mind.

Pushing this assassination operation to the five special princes can not only weaken their prestige in the hearts of the people of the empire, but also give them a warning from the imperial capital.

But on the other hand, Xavius ​​also ordered Hacker to take action as soon as possible to deal with the troublesome guy Dasa as soon as possible.

After Xavius ​​chatted with Dasa for a while in the library, his understanding of Dasa became more comprehensive.

I originally thought that Dasa was just a brainless warrior who was full of muscles and was known for being simple and crude in solving problems; but after some contact, I found that the other party was still above him in terms of knowledge reserve and insight. How could Xavius ​​not be nervous?

After finishing the conversation with Xavius, Daza fell into deep thought while looking at the map of the empire in front of him; from Xavius's words, he understood that the upper echelons of the entire empire were not united.

Conflicts and contradictions between local and central governments have always existed, and now this contradiction has reached a point of intensification.

If the capital of the Empire was not located along the Well of Eternity, and the Moon Guards had powerful spells and relied on the endless magic power of the Well of Eternity, they would have had enough confidence to deal with those who dared to march towards the Imperial Capital. The nobles who were already in power had already raised their flags and marched into the imperial capital.

In the history books that Daza had read, there were no imperial nobles who dared to try this.

"Conflicts between the upper and lower levels, conflicts between nobles and financial groups, haha, this empire is really troublesome."

After Dasa refinished a simple diagram of the current empire's problems, he threw down his pen and slumped down on his soft chair.

There are more and more problems in the empire, but there are almost no good solutions. Now that the empire is constantly dealing with these problems, they have been exposed, and they are all unavoidable problems; as for those that have not yet exploded and attracted the attention of the people Let’s postpone the issue.

"It's really precarious."

Dasa slumped down on the soft chair, looking at the map spread out in front of him with a serious expression.

Sometimes bad things will have their own solutions if they are not resolved proactively. For example, a worse thing will appear to divert people's attention.

Just like the bad battle report from Stranglethorn Vale that appeared on Xavius's desk the next day, the intelligence showed that a coalition of local nobles was defeated by the rebels in the rainforest. This mob succeeded Breaking through the encirclement of the local noble coalition forces.

After jumping out of the rainforest, this rebel army of mobs moved towards several nearby provinces.

They also brought in many civilians along the way, making the rebels' power suddenly much larger.

This panicked the governors in charge of that area. They finally reported the news to the Imperial Capital and requested more support from Zin Aesalin.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

After reading this battle report, Xavius ​​was so angry that he swept everything off the table. He was so angry now. Faced with this failure, he knew that he could no longer hide Azshara's secrets. .

In this case, sooner or later, well-informed businessmen would bring it back to the imperial capital, and then it would definitely spread to the ears of Dasa who liked to wander out of the palace.

By then, Queen Azshara will definitely know.

Rather than covering it up until then, he might as well report it to Azshara now.

Azshara was confused when she first heard the news about the rebels. She clearly remembered that not long ago, Xavius ​​told her that the development of the entire empire was stable and improving. It was still a harmonious scene of singing and dancing, and being praised by all the people.

Why did a large number of rebels suddenly appear in the southeastern region of the empire? !

"Mr. Zul, order Tiberius, the ruler of Zul'Gurub, to put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and at the same time lift the restrictions on his ability to recruit troops! This mob must be wiped out in a short time!"

After Azshara was briefly stunned, she became furious.

She believed that she and the high-ranking officials of the empire had done enough, but there were still those ambitious people who would not give up and would always confuse the untouchables to disrupt the order of the empire.

In this case, the empire must severely punish those who dare to start and participate in the rebellion!
"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xavius ​​did not expect that Azshara would take countermeasures in such a short period of time. He originally thought that the little queen would show some panic, and then asked him as a teacher what to do.

"In addition, capture all the leaders alive and bring them to the Imperial Capital. I will personally interrogate them."

Azshara didn't wait for Xavius ​​to finish his response before she gritted her teeth and continued.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xavius ​​saluted and accepted the order.When Daza learned about what happened in the southeastern region of the empire through Azshara's regular afternoon tea party, he thought that he should be prepared at this time.

On the one hand, while gathering troops to suppress the rebels, on the other hand, it is also necessary to find out why the people living in the southeastern region of the empire participated in this rebellion.

"The empire's army is unstoppable. Since those traitors dare to start a rebellion, they must die!"

Azshara was not about to listen to Dasa's advice and try to appease those who had rebelled.

"If they rebelled just because they couldn't live in poverty, I don't think killing them is the best way. On the contrary, I will punish the officials and nobles who manage there."

Daza shook his head. He thought Azshara's idea was a bit too extreme, and asked her what to do if one day all the people at the bottom of the empire rebelled against the top leaders of the empire.

Azshara said that it was impossible for that kind of thing to happen, and that she would not be that bad as a queen.

After Azshara finished speaking, Vashj also revealed her solution. Her solution was just one word, kill!

Just kill all the rebels and that's it.

Anyway, those untouchables are like dust that can be seen everywhere. After a layer is shoveled away casually, there is still a steady stream coming out.

But nobles cannot be punished severely under any circumstances.

They are too important to the empire.

Azshara actually had the same idea, but because of Dasa's face, she didn't say it so directly.Because she really couldn't figure out how the empire's top brass, who had powerful arcane powers, could be defeated by those untouchables who didn't even have extraordinary powers.

Supported by the infinite magic power of the Well of Eternity, those dazzling arcane barrages are enough to kill any civilian who dares to face the barrage.

The afternoon tea party ended in silence between both parties. Neither Daza nor Azshara could convince the other.

But after this conversation, Daza reminded Azshara that she needed to form an intelligence network directly under her. It is certain that Xavius ​​had been suppressing the news of the rebellion in the southeastern province before, but he He didn't tell Azshara until the situation was irreversible.

This situation made Dasa suspicious of Xavius.

Time once again passed half a month, and the autograph letter of Tiberius, the exclusive ruler, was handed over to Azshara by Xavius. The content of the letter was very simple. He wanted military expenses.

"How can we give him more military funds! As a government official, how can Tiberius have the nerve to ask for military funds from the empire? His region has not paid taxes for more than two years!"

After Xavius ​​handed over the handwritten letter to Azshara, he gave a subtle reminder.

"It's better to just send the garrison to destroy those rebels."

Xavius ​​paused and made another suggestion.

"Can't the national treasury even come up with these military expenses?"

Azshara thought it would be better to ask first.

"Your Majesty, we cannot open the imperial capital to allocate military funds to local governors because of this incident."

Xavius ​​did not answer Azshara's question directly, but hoped that Azshara would not allocate military funds to the tyrant.

"Then tell me, Lord Zuer. Can the garrison go there to put down the rebellion?"

Azshara is sitting on the emperor's throne, and the ax that once represented imperial power is hanging behind the throne.

"The garrison. The garrison is to protect the safety of the entire imperial capital. It cannot be transferred at will, Your Majesty."

Xavius ​​is unwilling to consume too much of the power of the central empire. Nowadays, because the nobles are becoming more and more powerful, the local area is gradually unable to deal with the city of Zin Aissalin.

The most obvious ones are the five despots who were entrusted around the empire.

"This won't work, that won't work! Lord Zuer, what do you think we should do? The local nobles can't solve the problem. As the emperor of the empire, I have the obligation and responsibility to solve these problems! It really doesn't work! I will lead the army myself! "

Azshara's voice grew louder and louder as she spoke, her amber eyes staring straight at Xavius.

"Your Majesty, if you insist on doing this, there is only one way left."

Xavius ​​didn't expect that a little girl like Azshara would fight so hard. Why didn't he realize that the other party would be so tough before?

"Say it, Lord Zuer."

Azshara looked serious.

"Use money from the treasury to give him money, and at the same time increase taxes on the residents of the empire."

Sarvis offered what he considered the most likely solution.

Increase taxes, increase taxes in the name of suppressing bandits and countering rebellion, and use the money collected to recruit soldiers for those rebels.

"it is good."

After thinking about it for a while, Azshara agreed to Xavius ​​raising taxes and using the money to counter rebellion and suppress bandits.

This is a special tax, and the tax collected will only be used to suppress bandits.

When Azshara's handwritten decree and the military pay from the imperial treasury arrived at the Despot's mansion in Zul'Gurub, Tiberius's face flashed with surprise as he accepted the request.

As he expected, he also received a letter of reprimand from the Speaker of the Eludis Council, Zul.

After guarding the southeastern territory of the empire for so many years, he has long lost any trust in the guys in Zin Issalin. These guys indulge in drinking parties, useless entertainment, and meaningless mathematical experiments all day long. , has no understanding of the current situation of the empire.

They command and indulge in their own little circle, as if as long as they have a glass of blood thistle wine to drink all day long, everything will be fine.

But when he actually saw this batch of military pay and the autographed letter from the newly enthroned queen, he still thought in his heart whether those guys in the imperial capital had something else to mess with?
After Tiberius read the autograph letter from Azshara, he finally decided to give the little queen a little trust.
