Chapter 1908 Teasing the Emperor

...

The order in the court is full of all kinds of perfunctory things.

Facing the gradual approach of the Roman army, except for the emperor who was above the throne, few people were worried or scared.

It's not that they have enough strength to deal with the Roman Empire, but they know very well that the outcome of the war has nothing to do with them.

They were nobles, rich nobles. Even if they were captured by the Romans, they would just spend a little money to redeem them.

Just sending out such a small amount of money can disgrace the emperor, so why not do it?

Of course, the bigger factor is that they were confident in the walls of Ctesifeng City. If they were beaten, their lives would not be safe. The face they lost was also the face of Emperor Vologis V. What does it have to do with them?
This is the imperial capital, the imperial capital of the country. The interests involved in every move are the interests of the emperor.

The cake is so big. If the emperor takes back the benefits, what kind of benefits can they still have?
Therefore, weakening the imperial power is an unspoken rule that the various great nobles abide by.

"Everyone, when the country is in crisis, is there any good strategy?" Vologis V sighed softly in his heart, looked at everyone present, and asked as calmly as possible.

They say they are asking about methods, but they are actually expecting the nobles to take action quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late.

Whether you can still protect your face is a question worth thinking about.

Why should I be embarrassed when seeing this situation? Let's get over it first. Even if we want to settle the score after autumn, we have to wait until autumn.

However, almost all the spokesmen of the great nobles present chose to remain silent and said nothing, without giving any face to Vologis V.

When King Vologis V saw this scene, his face was a little livid, but he was helpless. After all, at this time, he was the one asking for help.

If the Huns couldn't find him, why would he be like this?

Sighing heavily, King Vologis V glanced at the spokespersons of the great nobles who did not have such conflicting relations with each other, and then said softly, "The country is poor and weak. At this time of crisis, do you have any spare time?" The soldiers who saved the country should be saved by the soldiers, and I will definitely be grateful in the future..."

Under such circumstances, Vorogis V could no longer maintain his face and chose to lower his head to obtain possible rescue soldiers.

Even if you really don't want to do such a thing, you still have to do it. You can't rely on the Parthian Guards in the city to save the country.

Although the name is the Praetorian Guard, it is also the force that Vologis V placed his hope on. However, this force was established for such a short time that it has almost no combat effectiveness. Naturally, it is impossible to expect this kind of force to meet the powerful Rome. people.

Faced with this look, the spokesperson of the Karan family stood up without even thinking and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. It's not that we are unwilling to contribute, but that there is really no way and there are no soldiers in our hands." , Even if you want to provide support, there is nothing you can do..." Regardless of whether there are people in hand, this hole must not be opened anyway. If you lose a little face, can you let him send people? Are you kidding me?
Does Volojis V have any face? How much is his face worth? It was worth throwing their army into the battlefield against the Romans.

When the strength is lost, they will naturally lose their advantage when facing other nobles. Who can compensate for the lost benefits?
As for the so-called future, there must be a future. According to the current situation and the speed of the Romans' advance, they will not only lose face among the nobles, but also lose face in the eyes of the common people. Will there be a future by then?

Without the future royal family, it is just a huge lamb. How can it be slaughtered and divided? It will all depend on strength at that time. How can it be possible to waste one's strength now?

Seeing the Karan family like this, Vologis V turned his head and took a fancy to the Zeke family next to the Karan family, a family with a relatively good relationship with them. Of course, it was only relative.

"Your Majesty has something to ask for, and I will do my best to satisfy Your Majesty..." Compared to others, the spokesperson of the Zheke family had a much gentler tone, and his words also showed his supportive attitude.

Vorogis V, after hearing such words, his eyes shone with light, and his whole person looked full of hope.

It seems that the various nobles in this country are not completely bad. They may not support the royal family, but they will not sit back and watch the country decline.

However, what the Zeke family said later directly made Vologis V, who had renewed hope, feel what is called a cold double blow.

"Your Majesty does not know that the front line of the Roman army is less than a hundred miles away from our territory. In order to prevent the Roman army, the family must set aside some troops to resist the pressure of the Roman army. It is difficult to withdraw troops." The Zeke family The spokesman looked heavy, then seemed to have made a difficult choice, and said with emotion, "Since your Majesty has requested it, even in the face of pressure from the Roman Empire army, ten thousand troops have been dispatched to support your Majesty. Even if the troops are mobilized and are unable to resist the Roman Empire's army, resulting in some losses to the territory, His Majesty's safety must be guaranteed..."

On the side, the spokesman of the great nobles who was a little confused at first did not understand why the Zeke family violated their unspoken rules. However, in the court meeting, he did not make any voice to ask or question, but listened carefully. Make a decision again.

But after listening, most of the noble spokesmen had a smile on their faces.

As expected of a member of the Zeke family, they are indeed powerful...

The Zeke family, who talked about this in detail, seemed to be at the moral high ground at this moment, worried about the country and the people.

A difficult multiple-choice question was placed directly in front of Vorogis V.

By accepting this support force, the territory of the Zeke family may be damaged, and the people will bear great pressure. Coupled with this advance warning and notice, who will the people hate?
Even if the Roman Empire did not attack, wouldn't there be other armies pretending to be Roman troops and attack?
The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, can't they even pretend to be the other side's army?

As for whether there will be such a thing that refreshes the lower limit, only God knows...

If we do not accept this support force, then the people near the capital will naturally bear the corresponding price. Especially if others are willing to help, but if they refuse help, who will the people hate?

This is just from the perspective of the common people and from a military perspective. Can ten thousand soldiers really be able to defend the enemy outside the imperial capital under the offensive of the Roman Empire's army? (End of chapter)
