Chapter 169 Black Eagle Protecting Flowers

On December 753, 12 in the Imperial Calendar, the Empire officially announced that since June, the domestic rebellion that lasted nearly half a year has basically subsided.The senior officers of the rebel army headed by Prince Joseph (the title has been abolished) have been killed or captured, most of the rest of the rebel army surrendered, and the imperial army began to wipe out the remnants of the rebel army.

The announcement stated that the victory of this war was due to the wise leadership of the prince Shiyan, the bravery and tenacity of the frontline officers and soldiers, and the unity of the people of the whole country.After the post-war reconstruction work is carried out in various places, the empire will provide a series of policy support to the areas that were severely damaged in the war.

From this brief announcement, careful politicians read another meaning: After the rebellion ended, the power center of the empire was about to undergo a reshuffle.Everyone knew that after two wars, a new political faction was born centered on Earl Liuyun, the hero of the empire and the "god of war" in the hearts of the people.Behind Earl Liuyun, there is the strong backing of the Marshal of the Empire and the Cade family. His body is shrouded in the halo of a hero. He holds the most elite "Iron Army" in his hands. There are many talents around him. Long brother and a dragon knight brother.Most importantly, he has won the attention and trust of the future master of the empire, Prince Shiyan.

Once the war was over, the imperial capital was immersed in great joy.The new year is approaching, and this joy has been pushed to the extreme.At the same time, the empire officially announced that some activities will be held during the New Year to celebrate the victory of the two wars.But this kind of joy only belonged to the ordinary people in the imperial capital, and the nobles were worried about their future.Although Liu Yun was born in a noble family, he has never acted as a nobleman, and rarely dealt with the nobles of the imperial capital. He is completely different.Such a person going to the center of power is a great threat to these nobles.

Except for a small number of nobles who have always been on good terms with the Cade family, most people turned their attention to Prime Minister Srode.Among them, some officials who used to have a close relationship with the prince even regarded him as a life-saving straw.After the prince's rebellion, many people predicted that the big man closest to the prince would fall, but he managed to get rid of his relationship with Joseph and regain the trust of the royal family. He was regarded by many as a "tumbler" in the political arena ".All of a sudden, the Prime Minister's Mansion got on and off the bus, and nobles and officials of all sizes took advantage of the coming New Year's opportunity to pay a visit.The nobles expressed their attitude to him in order to save and safeguard the interests of the noble class, while the officials hoped that they could get a good place in the shuffle.

Under such circumstances, Si Deluo did something that surprised Prince Shiyan.He registered the visiting nobles one by one, sealed up the gifts and money, and delivered them to the palace in person.

"Prime Minister, in the officialdom of the empire, officials are never prohibited from communicating in private, and there is no regulation prohibiting nobles from receiving gifts from each other. What do you mean by doing this? Aren't you afraid that these people will scold you behind your back?" Shi Yan looked at Si Luo De, asked in surprise.

"Your Highness, Sdero is old and in a high position as the prime minister, how much interest can he have in power and wealth? It's just that there are a lot of these people, and most of the gifts are expensive. If I refuse directly, it will inevitably cause them If I accept it, it will leave a stain that cannot be washed off on both sides. Therefore, after much deliberation, the old minister has no choice but to hand it over to the treasury." Sdero said with a smile, "But this matter, please return Your Highness keeps it a secret for me, otherwise I will definitely be infamous!"

"My lord prime minister, you played really beautifully! Since I have accepted these things, I must keep them secret for you." Shi Yan smiled, looking very happy.

"I wonder if your highness has seen some problems from this matter?" Sdero continued.

"These people are all burning their butts now, and they are busy standing in line. They know that after the empire has experienced chaos, it will inevitably adjust the officials, that is to say, to complete a reorganization of interests. Especially the nobles of the empire, they are panicked. That's right, I'm afraid that my own interests will be harmed!"

"Your Highness is very reasonable. Among these people, some of these people, like the minister, were closer to Joseph in the past, and they must feel uneasy. There are also some people who hope to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits, which is understandable. The only thing that worries me is the attitude of those nobles. Out of concern for the future, they seem to have huddled together, which may cause a lot of trouble for the future development of the empire." Sdero said frankly.

"The eyes of the nobles are still short-sighted! After two wars, they don't realize much of the truth." Shi Yan looked at the roster in his hand, and his expression became serious.

"Of course it's not easy to change something left over from hundreds of years. The old minister was also worried, so he came to report this matter to His Highness in a hurry, and hoped that His Highness could make preparations early." Sdelo said.

"I will seriously consider this matter. After the war, the selection and appointment of officials from various places, urban reconstruction and other matters, prime minister, you should discuss with other ministers, and try to use some young officials. The empire needs to inject some vitality. My headache now is, How to reward and punish the generals in the army, especially those officers who disobeyed orders on the battlefield and gave up their duties to defend the city. Even Green, who died in battle in Patna City, has now become the focus of discussion!"

"I will do my best to do what your Highness has told you. As for the matter of rewards and punishments after the war, your Highness doesn't have to worry about it. You can wait for Marshal Yan Tian to return to the imperial capital before discussing with him carefully. He has a very high prestige in the army. , He is also respected by everyone in the court, and everything will go well if he thinks about it." Si Deluo said respectfully.

"It seems that this is the only way to go."

When Sdero left, he was extremely satisfied with his trip to the palace, because he took the opportunity of "giving gifts" to successfully seize the power to adjust the appointment of officials and build various places.

His move, which was later called "the most successful betrayal" by politicians around him, is a classic example of a politician who subtly puts pressure on those in power on behalf of his interest groups.Under the premise of not harming the interests of himself and his followers, he showed his loyalty to the prince Shiyan with a magnanimous betrayal, and also tactfully conveyed the words of the noble class to Shiyan, which won him His trust also indirectly exerted tremendous pressure on him, which made Shiyan have to think twice when he acted later, and even made many concessions.

After Sdero left, Shiyan couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Old Prime Minister, your move is brilliant! It seems that these nobles put a lot of pressure on you, and you actually acted as a lobbyist for them. Well, since this is the case, I am also very impatient, so I will use Cook them slowly over low heat."

"As long as you firmly grasp the military power and the hearts of the people, can these civil servants jump up? Now let them gain power for a few days, and in the future, if you want to pinch anyone, you can pull them over and pinch them a few times."

Shiyan remembered what Alexander said, and finally decided to make certain concessions in other areas, firmly control the military power, in order to consolidate his position, and then slowly move towards his goal.

Earl Liuyun, who was on the cusp of the storm, simply arranged for the work of the Independent Army after the war, dragged Lao Ka into the room, and started a mysterious research.The reason is that right after the war ended, he received a piece of information from Shui Han.

After reading this information, Liu Yun's face turned pale and his hands and feet were cold.He never thought that such a terrifying thing would happen in this world.According to the information from the Sith, the cult is likely to be hidden in the Sith Empire, and has already infiltrated the Sith military. With the acquiescence of those in power, it is conducting a brutal and bloody experiment.

"What the fuck, what kind of bird cult, is a completely anti-human terrorist organization! I'm dying, this thousand-year-old legend of the elves is actually connected with such a ghost thing, I'm playing it too big. Don't try your best, I’m afraid it’s impossible to survive in the future!”

However, after reading this information, Liu Yun felt relieved.There are two main reasons for this. One is that the actions of this cult cannot be tolerated by mainland countries, and it will inevitably be firmly resisted by the people. Once it shows up, it will definitely be mobilized and attacked.In this way, one's own mission is actually a responsibility that anyone must undertake.On the other hand, as a special warfare instructor, Liu Yun has considerable experience in dealing with such terrorist organizations.Since he is not the god or demon in his imagination, he has the confidence to fight against it.The only thing that worries him is that in this era when technology is quite outdated, it is really a headache to meet such an organization.Thinking about those people who were turned into zombies, a chill would well up in his heart.Once these people show up on the mainland, it is believed that few troops can withstand that crazy attack.

After ordering Shui Han to send more people to investigate the activities of this cult, Liu Yun finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and pulled Lao Ka to start this mysterious research.

"If you play evil with me, I will also play hard with you!"

In the camp of the Independent Legion, the officers and soldiers began to repair according to Liu Yun's instructions.

Chief of Staff Alexander took advantage of this opportunity to call Hanno, Charlie, Anthony and the captains of the Black Hawk together with ulterior motives for drinking and chatting.Long Yun, Iverson, Mogo, and Naron were ignored by him. In his words: a successful abettor must choose children and bloody young people. A fine person is not easy to handle.

"Oh, the more you drink this wine, the less taste it will taste!" During the banquet, Alexander suddenly slammed the wine bowl down on the table.

"What's the matter, Chief of Staff? Everyone drinks together, just to have fun, why are you sighing!" Zi Wencheng asked carelessly.

"I've been feeling very uncomfortable lately! You are busy leading troops and fighting all day long, so you don't know about the recent scandals in the imperial capital?"

As soon as Alexander's voice fell to the ground, several pairs of ears perked up.

"What scandal did the chief of staff upset?" A Xu asked with a smile.

"It's none of my business, but it has a lot to do with you. After all, I haven't been in the Black Hawk Independent Legion for a long time, and it's not the one who shamed me!" Alexander's light words made the group of people unable to sit still. .

"What's the matter, Chief of Staff, please tell us quickly! Who the hell dares to provoke Black Eagle, I will make him regret his life!" Tie Lie's temper is second only to Zi Wencheng among the captains. He slapped the table and stood up.

"Your boss has an unusual relationship with Miss Hua Feilei, right?" Alexander began to induce.

"Of course, like Miss Ling'er, she is the sister-in-law in the eyes of everyone in Black Eagle!" Everyone said in a hurry.Having been with Hua Feilei for a long time, these people are used to treating her as one of their own, as Liu Yunfuture's wife.

"But how did I hear that recently there was a short-sighted kid who pursued her all day long, making the city full of storms!"

"Chasing is in vain! She is devoted to our boss! The corner of the boss can be very strong!" A Xu said nonchalantly.

"You know how to play! Since you are our sister-in-law, you can't chase after her! This is called harassment, and you must fix it!" Zi Wencheng patted A Xu's head and said loudly.

"Hehe, I can't explain clearly! Isn't there a saying that goes like this: As long as the hoe is well swung, there is no corner that can't be dug! I heard that the kid chasing Hua Crimson is some kind of orc special envoy, who is more powerful than you! He is rich, more handsome than him, and has a better temperament and demeanor than him. The most important thing is that he is so chic, coaxing girls to be as sweet as fucking honey, and he is shameless and lifeless when chasing people. How many girls can bear it? It’s not like your boss, who is bored with everything, and dare not say it if he likes it! Your boss has a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and Miss Hua is now hurting, her heart is empty and helpless It's quite dangerous! Maybe, a shiny green hat, we Black Eagle Independent Regiment must wear it together!"

Alexander's words produced an extremely powerful lethal force, and several people blushed and stood up.

"Charlie, I bet a hundred gold coins. Anyone who sees that kid will go up and beat him until his mother doesn't know him!"

"Damn it, what kind of bird orc, I tortured him until he became a beast, and never wanted to be a human again!"

"Brothers, copy the guy, take advantage of the dark, touch him!"

"Concentrate on his lower body and destroy his stuff!"

For a time, the crowd was furious.Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Alexander slowly said: "It seems that everyone is a bloody man! I read you right, but now we are the famous Black Eagle Independent Legion of the Empire, and we can't use these unsightly tricks. Wen Dou, don't attack with martial arts! Your tricks can only add trouble to the boss and damage his image in Miss Hua Feilei's heart, so it will never work! Let's make a good plan, let the kid eat Hold on, let Miss Hua Feilei be moved!"

Under Alexander's instigation, several officers of the Black Hawk Independent Legion discussed with him.Of course, it was Alexander who made up his mind.

"Miss Hua Feilei is the most beautiful flower in the Black Eagle Independent Legion, no one can take it away!"

As Alexander dropped the last ruthless words to stir up love, a vigorous "Flower Protection Movement" kicked off.
