Liang Taibai also politely expressed his thanks to the king. The king seemed very generous, but in fact, even if the king did not hand over the command, Liang Taibai had countless ways to bypass the king and direct command of the army.
Over the years, Shuguang College's various kinds of funding for the rose duchy are not floating. Those subsidies are in return for almost absolute control of the rose duchy, including politics, finance, and military affairs. Especially when the king was disobedient after his coronation, Shuguang college had placed officers close to Shuguang Academy in the garrison of Wangdu to deal with all kinds of changes at a critical time 。
The king knew this very well.
After he got what he wanted, Liang Taibai didn't leave immediately. After he and the king said something without nourishment, the ambassador suddenly changed his words. He pushed Xiao Lin, who had nothing to do beside him, and said with a smile: "last time I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to introduce him. His name is Xiaolin. He passed through Shuguang city not long ago Although the expatriates are relatively young, they have a lot of practical experience. If possible, I hope that he can temporarily hold a military post in the Wangdu guard army to facilitate unified and coordinated command. "
"I have handed over the command to the ambassador. You can make your own decisions about the appointment of these officers." However, the king was a little strange. He knew that Liang Taibai would certainly install a large number of people from dawning Academy in the army after he was going to command. However, there was no need to tell him about these things. He was also prepared mentally.
Liang Taibai's purpose was more than that. He said with a smile, "maybe you don't know the king, but you owe Xiao Lin a great favor."
The king's eyes puzzled: "human relations?"
Liang Taibai replied, "your granddaughter went out a few months ago, and had been attacked in wildfire town. Fortunately, she was rescued by Xiaolin."
The king was expressionless: "my princesses live in the palace all the year round, not to mention wildfire town. Even the rose Kingdom has never left. Oh, of course, they were escorted away by you two days ago."
Liang Taibai, smiling, kindly reminded, "I said Princess IbeA. I think you should not forget your granddaughter, the king."
The palace fell into silence.
The king's gentle face froze for a moment. He turned his head and began to look at Xiao Lin seriously for the first time. However, in the previous two meetings, he only regarded Xiao Lin as Liang Taibai's entourage.
Xiao Lin was a little embarrassed, but more puzzled. He did not understand why Liang Taibai suddenly pulled out IbeA. However, he also observed the king's face with a little curiosity to see if the old man had any guilt about his granddaughter who had driven him out of the palace.
After a brief absence, the king's face was calm again. He said to Xiao Lin chin: "although IbeA's mother was expelled from the royal family because of triggering the Kingdom's law, IbeA still has the royal blood. Thank you for saving the royal blood."
The king's expression was not cold, mild and indifferent. It was all polite and polite thanks. It was easy to hear that the king didn't care about IbeA at all.
Xiao Lin didn't like the king at first, but now he is even more disgusted. If it wasn't because this was a diplomatic occasion, he would have the impulse to beat the cruel old man hard.
After introducing each other, Liang Taibai did not continue to stay. He took Xiao Lin directly out of the palace. Until he had no bodyguards around the palace, Xiao Lin could not help expressing his confusion. He did not believe that this politically sensitive and experienced Ambassador would do a meaningless and boring thing.
But Liang Taibai did not choose to answer directly. Instead, he asked seriously, "what kind of person do you think the rose king is?"
"I don't know him well."
"It's OK. Tell me about your first impression."
"Although he seems to be very warm to us, in fact, in every sentence he means to be on guard against us. He doesn't welcome us. I don't know if he is a good king, but at least he will never be a qualified relative." Xiao Lin said truthfully.
Liang Taibai gave a noncommittal smile and sighed in a low voice: "frankly speaking, regardless of his position and status, he is actually a good king. Do you know what the first thing he did after taking office?"
Xiao Lin shook his head.
Liang Taibai continued: "the Norma people are very curious about many new things in our earth, and even many things have become luxury goods of the local upper class. With our support, the previous kings will inevitably ask for these things from us. Although they are disgusting, they will naturally meet these small needs under foreign policy. But this king is different. After taking office, he borrowed books from us, a large number of books, books of all kinds. "
"Our earth's own book?"
"Yes, we have a lot of them in our own library. Of course, it is impossible for us to read earth history books to the aborigines. However, under the good diplomatic relations between the two countries at that time, many other books were also sent. Anyway, these things were the least valuable."
"What is his book?" Xiao Lin guessed something.
"A lot of, besides history, humanities, art, economy and so on, oh, especially economic books are the most. At that time, we were not doing anything. A person who had no knowledge of the history of the earth went to see the earth's economic and political science, but a few years later, the king began to try to implement the reform of rose country."Xiao Lin opened his mouth in surprise: "he wants to get rid of our affiliation?"
"That's right." Liang Taibai sighed again. He did not know whether it was pity, pity or a little admiration. He said, "unfortunately, how can his political intelligence be better than those old men who have lived for over a hundred years at the top of Shuguang college. Although the king's series of reform policies are very obscure, the school quickly realizes his intention."
Xiao Lin was silent for a moment and said, "we certainly won't allow his reform."
"Rosa duchy is a very important vassal territory for us, and we can never tolerate losing it. However, if we rashly assassinate the king or let the king step down in any other way, it will arouse the fierce opposition of the conservative ministers in Rosa and even mutiny. The chaotic situation of rose is also not what we need, so we secretly sent people from the intelligence department, It obstructs the king's reform in various places and makes the ministers think that the more embarrassing predicament caused by the failure of the reform is because of the king, and then he completely loses his trust in the king. "
Xiao Lin suddenly realized: "ambassador Liang, you don't want to say that this rebellion is caused by us."
Liang Taibai chuckled bitterly: "at that time, the action was measured. It was impossible to reach the level of rebellion. However, it was used by others. Some people secretly took advantage of the situation to boost the flames and use us to launch the rebellion."
