Chapter 453: Collecting Soldiers from All Over the World (2)

So people who play politics have dirty hearts.

With so many twists and turns, those who are not clear-headed cannot figure out Count Chavez's intentions.

No wonder there are so many incompetent monarchs. Did someone misunderstand and just kill them with a knife?

Of course, he didn't intend to do anything to these meritorious officials.

It's just that there is nothing new in history. These meritorious officials scared themselves.

However... the king's heart is hard to predict. I am the king and you are the minister.

The king has no intention of killing, and the minister cannot disobey.

Testing the monarch is also a crime!

Derek paused his fingers, and the knocking sound stopped.

It just so happened that Count Chavez finished dancing with a sword, and the lingering sound of the instruments on the left and right had not yet dissipated.

"Okay, the count's sword can please me."

Derek stood up and pointed shakily.

Count Chavez knelt on one knee, leaning on the sword with one hand.

"I am guilty of being disrespectful in front of the king."

Derek smiled, stepped down the steps in a few steps, and came to his side.

"I know what the Earl meant.

Use force to stop war, and govern the country with culture.

Now that the world is peaceful, why do we need to use force? The Earl has thought too much."

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor say this, Count Chavez breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people who were slow to think also understood the mystery behind this sword dance.

The southern noble officials were all relieved. After all, they were the conquered party, and they were naturally inferior to the meritorious elders.

Not to mention being on an equal footing, it would be better to have less discrimination.

If Count Chavez can clear his name and be recognized by His Majesty the Emperor himself, it will also be good for others.

At least in the future, this will not be a reason to hinder the promotion of southern officials.

It seems that the atmosphere of the banquet is moving towards peace, the empire has stopped fighting, and everyone will have a chance in the future.

But Derek turned around and walked towards the stage step by step.

I walked down the high platform to be close to the people and to sympathize with the meritorious officials.

I walked up the high platform because I am the emperor, and the majesty of the king cannot be offended.

The following is a bit of a coercion.

Merit, I have already rewarded.

Crime, I have to punish, now it comes.

Derek seemed to be three parts drunk, but also six parts sober.

"Count Chavez has made great contributions, and the empire has justified his reputation.

In order to prevent the meritorious officials from worrying too much, the Chavez family's private soldiers will be cut off and a local garrison division will be established.

The Chavez family will inherit from generation to generation and rest with the country."

There was silence all around, even the sound of breathing stopped.

Count Chavez himself didn't know how to react.

The so-called hereditary succession is probably a joke, surveillance is more like it.

Such treatment can be said to be almost treating the Chavez family as a surveillance target.

What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?

The emperor's heart is hard to predict, and it was not until this time that Count Chavez understood the meaning of this sentence.

If he wants to deal with the Chavez family, why does he have to go around in circles?

If it comes to trust, this is not trust at all.

Derek turned around, stretched lazily, and said: "I'm tired, take a rest."

This banquet, from joy to excitement, really changed too abruptly.

For those who have experienced it personally, it is not even clear what happened.

The emperor's power is unpredictable, and the king's heart is unpredictable.

...

"Surveillance is also protection."

Count Chavez leaned against the pillar and kept watch for His Majesty the Emperor.

When the cold wind blew, his mind was extremely clear.

After the panic, he probably guessed what His Majesty meant.

The Chavez family's private army was reorganized into a local garrison division. After the confirmation of the Army Department, it will even have an official number and enjoy state support.

To a certain extent, it weakened the strength of the Chavez family, and they would not be able to raise too many private soldiers in the future.

But if His Majesty really wants to do something to himself, why would he do this?

A piece of paper and three or two eunuchs can make him willingly bow his head.

It takes time to erase the Chavez family's imprint after reorganizing into a regular army. After one or two changes, no one will recognize the Chavez family anymore.

However, the first division commander is Count Chavez, and the soldiers are private soldiers of the family. Can it really be weakened?

So, this is just a kind of protection.

As the empire stabilizes, the Chavez family's private soldiers will sooner or later reduce their size.

So it doesn't matter whether you do it yourself or the empire does it.

On the contrary, this earl can restrain himself, but what about the next two generations?

Cut off the military power in advance and monitor.

At least it will make the idiot's mind clearer, and even if he makes a mistake, it will not be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family.

It's not wrong to say it's protection.

Then there is punishment. Do you feel scared and uneasy when you do this in public?

It's just right for you to experience the feeling of the king's anger.

Count Chavez smiled bitterly. His Majesty is really a good method, which makes him convinced.

So he stood firm and honestly kept watch for his majesty.

…

After washing up, Derek leaned on the bed and read the memorial for a while.

The empire had no small matters.

He dealt with as much as he could.

After a long time, it was time to go to bed, and Derek turned off the lights and lay down.

That’s right, the knocks were just the emperor’s mind.

He used tyranny to enforce the kingly way, controlled his subjects, and did what he wanted.

Kindness is not weakness.

Tyranny is not cruelty.

Derek didn’t know what the kings of the past dynasties thought, but after learning, exploring, and even growing up, he already had his own methods.

Every king grew up step by step.

Weakness is a means of learning from and imitating, and then gradually forming one's own style.

Every king is multifaceted and cannot be described with a single word.

Derek also followed the trend today. No matter whether Count Chavez can understand the mystery or not, he cannot change his mind.

Thunder and rain are all grace from the king.

Why should the king explain to his subjects what he did?

Now that the world is peaceful, it is natural to suppress the powerful and reduce the world's soldiers.

This soldier is not that soldier. The military power is reduced, but the wealth and weapons are not reduced.

Strike the powerful and allow the powerful to enjoy the glory of their ancestors.

Banning weapons is just a way to weaken the bravery of the people.

Perhaps the younger kings do not have such prestige as themselves, banning civilian weapons and maintaining stability.

But I don't need it, but I need to be enterprising.

Besides... history has never been new.

Destroy famous cities, kill heroes, collect soldiers from all over the world, gather them in Xianyang, melt their arrows, and cast them into twelve golden men to weaken the people of the world.

Burn books and bury hundreds of schools.

When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked.

Let the horse go to the south mountain.

Literary inquisition!

…

Hundreds of years of reincarnation, martial arts and then weakening martial arts are just in line with current events.

Derek has no idea of reversing reincarnation, and can only grasp the present.

At least, the founding emperor of the Great Xia Empire is in his prime, dominating the world.

The heroes look down, and the people return.

The historians praise, and the world is peaceful.

Then take advantage of now, centralize power, open up, and open up a road that has never been seen before.

Today, complete the career of three generations for your children and grandchildren.
