The more you get along with Soga, the more you can feel the charm of Soga. Although you have only been together for a week, the emperor finds that he has fallen in love with this frank little guy. From him, the emperor could see purity and truth, but these things could not be found in the palace anyway.
It is undeniable that Soga is very greedy. Even he himself admits this and never hides it. However... His greed is of high grade and style. Not anyone can make him greedy and make him greedy. It is definitely something worth celebrating, because what you get from Soga is always much more than what you pay.
In the small pavilion, Soga sat opposite the emperor. On the table in front of him, there were the best tea sets. The floating fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy just by smelling it.
After a sip of tea, Soga closed his eyes and tasted it carefully for a long time... Soga said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the great disaster of the Holy Light empire is about to begin. Are you ready?"
"Great difficulty?" Hearing Soga's words, the emperor couldn't help but put down the tea cup and looked at Soga.
Gently opened his eyes, Soga said deeply: "Your Majesty is about 55 years old this year. According to the imperial system, you will abdicate in four or five years. In other words, in the next five years, you must determine who is the prince and who will control this country!"
"En..." nodded slightly, and the emperor said calmly“ I know what you said, but I don't think there will be any chaos. The prince is up to me and no one can interfere. "
"Hiss..." with a hiss, Soga disdained: "isn't this nonsense? Of course I know that the prince is decided by you, but isn't there anyone else who can influence your decision? What's more... Have you ever thought about what to do if you can't decide? "
Hearing Soga's words, the emperor couldn't help frowning, looked deeply at Soga and said, "I see. Just say it. Which Prince's lobbyist are you?"
Stunned, she froze and stared at the emperor. Then... Soga shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't always be so suspicious. Why do I have to be a lobbyist for the prince? Can't I think of you from your point of view? "
Looking at Soga deeply, the emperor said deeply: "I can't believe you. At your age, I think... You should flatter a prince rather than me, an old man who is about to lose the throne. What's more, I have already arranged the affairs of the prince. Even if they jump into the sky, they can't turn out my palm. There will be no chaos."
The ungrateful white looked at the emperor, and Soga angrily said, "you man, I think it's hopeless. I'll tell you directly. I'm not any lobbyist for the prince. I'm just thinking about you. Have you ever considered that with my help, you can stay at the age of 30 forever? In that case, why do you want to give up the throne? If you really give up the throne, how will you spend the next one or two hundred years if you are used to power? "
"This..." hearing Soga's words, the emperor was stunned. Yes... With his current physical and mental state, why should he hand over the throne? Unless the body and spirit of power are really gone, who will be willing to let go?
Looked at Soga in horror. Until now, the emperor suddenly realized that Soga really wanted to help him and really thought for him. As Soga said, if he was not the emperor, how should he vent his energy?
Thinking, the emperor frowned and said, "but according to the rules of my ancestors, I can't do this. As long as I'm 60, I must give up the throne. This is something that even the emperor can't change."
"Hey, hey..." with a gloomy smile, Soga whispered, "Your Majesty, I didn't ask you to change any system. My meaning is very simple. You just create contradictions among several princes, and then let them kill each other. When they have made enough mistakes and lost their qualification to inherit one by one, even if you want to give up your position, who do you want to give up?"
"This......" he stood up thoughtfully and walked back and forth in the room. For a long time, the emperor said in embarrassment: "you can't do it. After all, they are my flesh and blood. I can't do it, and... If I really kill them, won't I be the last?"
"I'm dizzy..." hearing the emperor's words, Suoga couldn't help shouting: "I said the emperor, what are you thinking? You are the emperor's old man. They can't die. Isn't it you? How can they die if you don't let them die? As long as they lose the right to inherit, why kill them? "
"Er!" Hearing Soga's words, the emperor was stunned and then laughed. Yes... Why didn't he think of such a simple thing? The son is still a son, just let them lose the right to inherit. At the age he can live to, his grandchildren have no chance to take over. I'm afraid only great grandchildren can take over.
While thinking, the emperor couldn't help looking at Soga and said seriously, "what a powerful little fellow, I really want to know now. Why do you think so for me? I can't think of the reason. It seems to me that you should choose a prince to be loyal! "
The White Emperor glanced and Soga said patiently, "first of all, you have paid enough price to become my guest. Naturally, I have to think more about you, both for you and the queen."
Speaking of this, Soga paused slightly, and then said with a Hei hei smile, "don't think it's easy to be my customer. So far, there are only four people, including you and the queen. You know the other two, Emma and Wenya."
Looking at the confused emperor on his face, Soga continued: "think about it. Isn't it easy to do anything with our relationship? I believe... In the future, you will treat me no worse than the queen. Am I wrong? "
"This..." facing Soga, the emperor suddenly found that he really couldn't refute him. If Soga didn't help him, he would still grow old soon. In other words, he was probably better to Soga than the queen to Soga. It was almost doomed.
While thinking, Soga continued: "for me, although you are 55 years old, you are not much different from me. At worst, you can live another 200 years, and as long as you live, you can maintain your current state. Therefore, the age of 55 is not a burden, but the biggest capital."
Every time the prince becomes more physical, there will always be turbulence in the whole country. The so-called emperor and his courtiers, whether in the imperial court or among the people, will inevitably produce great turbulence. Moreover... The prince is still young, inexperienced and incompetent. Like the current emperor, he has become an old oil bar. As long as the old emperor is there, no one will want to bully Shengguang!
Hearing Soga's praise, the emperor couldn't help smiling, because he knew that Soga was not complimenting him, he was just telling the truth. Soga, a little guy, was a real word. He wouldn't flatter others, either there or not, simply and simply.
When Zhengmei wanted to laugh, Soga slapped the emperor on the shoulder and said, "old emperor, my personal judgment is that it's better to be with you than any prince. You should be comfortable. You have experience and ability, and our relationship is good. I'm not afraid of you hurting me, and for nothing else, just for the queen, I can't watch you die of old age. For me, you and the queen are like locked magic equipment. If you help one, you can't help the other! "
After a clear look at Soga, the emperor understood Soga's meaning. In the face of loving the queen, Soga must help the emperor. In the face of the emperor, Soga must help the queen. Therefore, no matter what he does for them, there are two reasons at the same time.
Looking at Soga with admiration, the emperor knew that he and he were probably on the same boat. The boy's opportunity was really accurate. With such a strong relationship, could he be worse in his future? The prince is sure, and the fief is not worried. In all aspects of power, status and wealth, his harvest will be immeasurable!
Three days later, under the formal ceremony, Soga became a Viscount of the Holy Light Empire, an absolute aristocrat, and... Also obtained a special fief.
Originally, the reward of the fief was designated by the emperor at will, but with the relationship between Soga and the emperor, naturally, people were selected by Soga at will.
The old emperor even told Soga that even if the land had been granted to others, as long as he saw Soga, there was no problem. In a word, he would give it to him. As for the original owner of the land, the emperor would send it away.
However, it is impossible for Soga to do so. The empire is so large and the land area is so vast. Why do you have to choose the land chosen by others? The so-called gentleman doesn't win people's love.
Following the emperor, Soga entered the Royal war map room, opened the special map for reward, and began to carefully select it. Looking at the world map painted on the four huge walls, Soga shook his head with admiration. Originally... He thought the holy light was big, but compared with the whole world, the Holy light was as small as a city!
Under the guidance of the emperor, Soga found a map representing the Holy Light Empire and estimated it. If the total area of the world is 10000 units, the total area occupied by the holy light is only 10 units, or even less than 10 units.
Following the emperor's fingers, Soga soon found that there were actually six countries in the region where the Holy Light empire was located, and the Holy Light empire was the fifth and largest empire among the six countries, with a total area of more than ten times that of the holy light and a total population of more than ten times!
In fact, although the Holy Light Empire thinks it is a big country, in fact, in more than 100 countries in the world, it is definitely a small country. When it is put to foreigners, no one even knows this country. Moreover... The holy light does not belong to the top 100 countries, but walks on the edge of recognition and non recognition.
He shook his head in admiration and looked at the world map. Originally... He thought the holy light was too big to run, but now he knew that he was the frog in the well. He didn't know how big the day was.
"Viscount Soga, you see... Should we pick a fief?" Seeing Soga so intoxicated, the old emperor couldn't help urging him up.
Suddenly, Soga looked back. Finally, Soga looked at the map covering the whole four walls, and looked at the map of the Holy Light empire on one of the walls, which accounted for only one wall the size of dried tofu. Soga walked towards the big table in the middle, where the special map of the Holy light empire was paved.
The map is very large and the records are very detailed. Even the surrounding countries are included. Although it is only marginal, Soga can judge that there are six countries in this territory!
Although the area of the Holy Light empire can be ignored from the world map, it is still very large on the Holy Light's own map. Even a big city like holy light is just a big red dot here. As for some small cities, they are even smaller and can only be a small dot.
His eyes kept wandering on the map, and Soga chose the ideal position in his mind. Originally... Soga wanted to use the golden triangle as his own fief, but at first glance, he knew that it already belonged to other people's fiefs, and it didn't belong to only one family, but to four people respectively.
When choosing a fief, Soga first values interests and must bring a lot of income. Soga will never choose a remote place to be his own fief. There will never be too much time for money.
Constantly wandering on the map, finally... Soga's eyes fell on one of the points on the map. In a flash, Soga suddenly pointed out: "I've picked it, here it is!"
After listening to Soga's words, the emperor came together with interest. He was very curious. What kind of territory would Soga choose to become his own fief?
It didn't look good. At a glance, the emperor couldn't help laughing bitterly. He looked up helplessly, looked at Soga and said, "you can really pick it. It's a pity that I can't give it to you here!"
"Ah!" Looking at the emperor in surprise, Soga exclaimed, "why?"
Shrugging his shoulders, the emperor pointed to the map and explained, "you see, there are three lines here. These three lines together form an AI character. In fact, these three lines are the national boundary dividing the six countries. Here you choose, it is the center of the AI character, belonging to the three regardless zone. It belongs to any country, but it does not belong to any country at the same time. Even if I want to give it to you, I have no right to give it to you!
"Khan..." after listening to the emperor's words, Suoga couldn't help sweating. Originally... What he liked was the special form here. Although the place here is small, it borders six countries at the same time. The other six countries are in a circle and distributed around. This fief is the center of the circle.
Originally, Soga thought very well. Since it borders on all Empires at the same time, it is much stronger than the golden triangle to start trade. As the center of the six countries, the advantages here are hundreds of millions of times better than the golden triangle and the interests of the three cities. After all, they can't be compared with the six countries.
Looking at this territory with regret, at the same time, the emperor explained: "moreover, even if it belongs to our empire, even if I reward you, I'm afraid you can't guard it at all. Smuggling has always been rampant here, and there are many thieves. It is the most chaotic zone in the six countries' edition!"
"Well?" Hearing the emperor's words, Soga's eyes lit up. She was worried that those girls had no place to exercise next. Now, isn't this the most suitable place to exercise?
While thinking, Soga quickly scanned the map, and finally... Soga fiercely pointed to a little and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if this can be my fief?"
According to Soga's fingers, Soga refers to the periphery of the core area, the fortress of the Holy Light Empire - Dawn city. This is the gateway of the Holy Light empire. The six countries can enter the territory of the holy light at any time. It belongs to a military important place. How can they reward others?
Originally, the emperor must refuse. Except here, Soga can choose anywhere, but he just released a big talk in advance. Now he wants to take it back, but it's not so easy to take it back.
After hesitating for a long time, the emperor finally said with a bitter smile: "you can really choose. I don't understand that this is a military fortress in the border. Why do you choose this place? It won't bring you much profit here! You see... Shall we change one? "
"No, no, no..." shaking his head again and again, Soga said excitedly, "absolutely not. I just asked, can I be my fief here?"
Wordless looked at Soga for a long time. The emperor sighed helplessly: "yes, but you must know that this is the common channel of the six countries. You can enter any country at any time through this. It belongs to a military fortress. Even if you get it, you can't manage it!"
"Fortress?" Looking at the map with bright eyes, Soga said flatly, "what's the matter with the fortress? Just like me, I've decided to come here! "
"I... you..." after hesitating for a long time, the emperor finally sat back in his chair and stared at the position of Soga's fingers. Up to now, it seems that it's impossible not to give it. If he knew this, he didn't dare to talk big. The only place he couldn't pick was picked. Isn't it intentional?
With a sigh, the emperor stood up, took out a map from the scroll cabinet next to him, gave it to Soga with a bitter smile and said, "well, this is the proof of the fief and the detailed map of the fief. Take it and have a look." After receiving the emperor's map, Soga didn't look carefully. He put it directly into the space bag and said goodbye directly, because he had seen it. The Emperor didn't want to reward him with this place. If he stayed, he might regret. Looking at the figure of Soga gradually disappearing, the emperor knew that behind the dawn City, it seemed that a fortress would be built again. After all, the safety of the Empire could not be put in the hands of private people.
