Piaotian Literature Chapter 267 The War Before the Throne (Part 1)
In October 2085, Duke Greg¡¯s fleet arrived in the Roy system and stationed near the outer space orbit of the Wiki planet in the Roy system.
As the person in charge of the administrative planning of the entire Roy system, Baron Jais immediately took a space shuttle to fly to the fleet flagship to welcome Duke Gregg.
"Jia Aisi, being left here for more than half a year, doesn't it feel like being a pioneering cow?"
On the way to the bridge through the battleship corridor, several colleagues who were familiar with Baron Jais were already waiting to greet him and came forward to greet him cordially.
"Are you making fun of me? Uzi." Jais smiled and punched the other person: "Damn it, I am suffering and suffering here, but you are comfortable and as radiant as ever."
"With nothing to do, of course you will be radiant after eating, eating and sleeping all day long." The imperial baron named Uzi looked at each other and smiled at the others around him, then shook his head helplessly and said: "You know, after you leave office, , this guy Reginald is very motivated and has brought the United States of Savoyard into chaos. And haha his problem with taking power is really extraordinary. He just led the group of guys named Greg to take over. took away all the work and left us all with nothing to do.¡±
""
Hearing the obvious complaint in Uzi¡¯s tone, Jiaaisi¡¯s eyes inadvertently showed a look of surprise. But he quickly lowered his head to hide his gaze and shook his head pretending to be helpless: "But he did a good job. At least he completed the task assigned by the Duke ahead of schedule. Sohehe"
"Hey, Jayce, you can't be so depressed."
Uzi motioned to the other two people to block the other end of the corridor, moved closer to Jaice, and whispered in a low voice: "This guy Reginald is obviously planning to unite all the blood relatives of the Greg family to control power. Now, those of us have been marginalized, and those nobles who have come all the way to support the Duke have also been invisible to Reginald. You know, the purpose of the Duke coming here in person this time is to officially Founding the country and proclaiming himself emperor. Many things will be decided in these few days. Jais, you have done a good job here. This is a feat that no one can erase. So you must get the most suitable position for yourself, otherwise If that happens, we won¡¯t have a good life after Reginald gets the last vote.¡±
"This" Jia Aisi showed hesitation.
As the cousin of the Duke, Reginald quickly attracted all his blood relatives after being reused. This was something that Jayce had expected earlier, and his behavior was also acquiesced by Duke Greg. Therefore, in the previous plan with Dante, Jais's mission was not only to negotiate with Greg about the location of signing the agreement with Dante, but also to secretly instigate a fight between the Duke's nobles with foreign surnames and the nobles with blood relatives. contradiction, so that after the official attack is launched, these nobles with foreign surnames can restrain the blood-related noble groups with the surname Greg. But judging from the current situation, because of Reginald's unscrupulousness, the two groups of nobles with foreign surnames and blood-related nobles have already had a fierce enough conflict. This makes Jaice's task easier, but it also Inevitably, he came up with bolder ideas.
"Jais, are you afraid of that guy Reginald?" Seeing the hesitant look on Jaice's face, Uzi persuaded him anxiously: "We have known each other since childhood. Look, Those of us were taken in by the Duke when we were very young, and we went to the empire together to obtain the title of nobility, so in the eyes of outsiders, we are one. And now, those nobles who came to join the Duke also plan to join us Join forces, so you don¡¯t have to worry about Reginald at all. Jais, you have never been a timid person. You are the most flexible person among us. You should understand that you cannot be alone, so you must stand Come out and protect our interests.¡±
"But Reginald has gained the Duke's trust, and reusing blood relatives is what the Duke meant. As for me because of Reginald, I was even dismissed by the Duke, no matter what I did before. Excellent, but just after he said a word, the Duke waved him here."
"Jais said this in a helpless voice while carefully observing the expression on Uzi's face. Sure enough, Uzi clearly showed disappointment and anger.
"Okay, Uzi. Maybe the situation is not as bad as you think. Let me go see the Duke first. If possible, I will try to fight for it."
After leaving seeds of dissatisfaction in the hearts of these colleagues, Jiaais waved goodbye to them and quickly came toHe went to the bridge of the ship, arranged his appearance and the words he had already prepared in his heart, and formally met with Duke Greg.
Perhaps because he was about to establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, Duke Gregg was in extremely high spirits. When Jayce walked into the bridge, he was having a high-spirited talk with some of his relatives standing next to him. However, Jia Ais noticed that some unfamiliar faces were isolated in the distance, and the expressions on their faces were faintly mixed with a hint of gloom.
"Obviously, these unfamiliar faces are the imperial nobles who responded to the Duke's call and came to defect. However, although the Duke gave due courtesy to these people, he did not pay attention to them.
Duke Gregg is different from Emperor Hoffman and Robin. Duke Gregg's purpose of founding the country does not have any grand ideals. It is simply to satisfy his personal rights and interests and to imitate the ancient times to establish a country with one family and one world. Therefore, he will inevitably pay more attention to his relatives who have the same blood as him. In his eyes, the young elites trained by him, such as Jayais, are nothing more than domestic slaves, and he will not give them any favors at all. They pay too much attention. As for the imperial nobles who came to seek refuge in front of him, Duke Gregg believed that they were just trying to please him when they saw the profits coming from his side. At best, they were just icing on the cake, so he didn't pay too much attention to them.
Duke Gregg's extremely inflated ego has made him forget everything. He did not realize that a giant man-eating beast was secretly watching him, and revealed its sharp and bloodthirsty fangs.
"Your Majesty."
Realizing that Duke Gregg had not looked at him at all after he walked into the bridge, a trace of uncontrollable resentment suddenly arose in Jaice's heart. At the same time, he was even more grateful that joining forces with Dante was a wise choice. However, on the surface, Jais had great respect for Duke Greg, and used the honorific title "Your Majesty" that only emperors can enjoy in advance.
"Oh, it's Jay Ace who's here." Sure enough, after hearing someone call himself 'Your Majesty', Duke Gregg immediately turned his eyes to Jai Ace and nodded approvingly: "You've done a good job here, I'm very pleased Satisfied. However I think you seem to have neglected space construction. As a result, after my fleet arrived here, there was not even a space port to dock."
""
Jiaaisi didn¡¯t expect that his efforts in the Ruoyi Galaxy would be criticized head-on in exchange for a perfunctory encouragement, which immediately made the resentment in his heart rise. And coincidentally, Baron Uzi and others who followed Jais into the bridge also happened to hear Duke Greg's accusation, and the expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
In fact, everyone present knows that it is very commendable that Jiaaisi can carry out the ground construction in an orderly manner without any help. After all, the person currently in charge of the military is Dante, the king of mutants, and the civilians of the former Sava Republic who are the main labor force are all captured. Therefore, neither of these two forces can be manipulated at will by Jaice. It is very rare to be able to achieve a balance between these two parties, and the progress of completing the construction is already very rare. If you ask yourself, no one here can do a better job than him in getting along with Jiaisi in a different place. But now, Duke Gregg has ignored this achievement, and instead accused Jayais of not completing the space construction.
"Sir, space construction is an extremely cumbersome task. When ground industrial facilities have not been built, it is impossible to have the conditions to carry out space construction, so I think this is not Jia Ais's fault." With Jia Ais. Baron Uzi, who was his friend, stood up to argue for Jais, and at the same time, the nobles who had already shared the same hatred also agreed.
"You meanI'm unreasonable?" Baron Uzi's face-to-face rebuttal made Duke Greg's face suddenly turn extremely ugly.
In fact, his original intention was not to accuse Jia Aisi. He could understand Jia Aisi's difficulties. He was also quite satisfied with Jia Aisi's current work. The reason why he mentioned space construction was because he just wanted to use it to knock Jia Aisi. After all, Jaice has been spending more than half a year with the king of mutants named Dante in the Zo? galaxy, and a year ago, his son Huggins had sternly warned him not to underestimate Dante. He even turned against himself because of it. So more or less, Duke Greg began to take Dante seriously, and therefore became somewhat wary of Jaice. He never expected that his casual words would make his subordinates question him face to face, and those guys who came to seek refuge with him and beg for food also expressed their approval, which suddenly made him feel that his authority was compromised. challenge.
"Huh, any external reasons are just excuses for your laziness. If you really try your best, there is nothing you can't do. Just like a year ago, you asserted that the Great Migration will happen in the short term. It was impossible, but now, Reginald has accomplished this very well.Therefore, Jais, you should reflect on the gap between yourself and Reginald. "The counter-effect of Baron Uzi's face-to-face argument made Duke Gregg accuse Jaice in a more severe manner, and the look on his face when he mentioned Reginald made Uzi and others even more furious.
"Yes, I am willing to reflect on my shortcomings."
After signaling Uzi to shut up with his eyes, Jais took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I have communicated with the person named Dante. Considering your personal safety, I rejected his request. Your request to land on the planet Wiki for negotiations. But he also rejected my request for him to land on your flagship for negotiations, so after many negotiations, we thought it would be more appropriate to negotiate on an unarmed transport ship. Your Majesty, What do you think"
"Okay, let's arrange a transport ship." Duke Greg was relieved when he heard that the negotiation location was in space.
After deciding on the matter, Duke Greg waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling Jay Ace to leave
