Chapter 319: The Mysterious Princess (please subscribe to the official version, thank you)
The entire war process was a running story. In less than three months, these three flower-named kingdoms had to establish new queens, and then marry three flower-like queens to women who were already half a century old. His Majesty the King and Grand Duke who doesn¡¯t look very good.
Of course, at this moment, the city lord, who was still a half-businessman before, is the ruler of four kingdoms and a principality. Every time he participates in any ceremony, when the host needs to introduce him, he must take a sharp breath and then put his The lengthy title is spelled out one by one.
¡°I would like to invite you, our benevolent Majesty the King of the Four Kingdoms of Violet, Purple Rose, Lotus, and Fig and the Grand Duke of Vanilla, to start the construction of the Nibs City Temple and move the first brick.¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Countless applause rang out. You must know that in order to enhance the relationship with the church, the current Lord of the Five Kingdoms would go to move a brick or fill a handful of soil when the temple construction in each city started.
Bishop Ye Xinyu also approved of his actions. After all, as the Lord of the Five Kingdoms, although he has not been for a long time, at least he is still a great figure in the hearts of ordinary people in various countries. Such a great figure is The church provides services before and after the event, which is a great thing for spreading the church¡¯s reputation among the people.
No matter how efficient the Church of Nature's Wrath is and how strong His Majesty the King's support is, when Bishop Ye Xinyu completely straightened out the missionary affairs in these five countries and put them on track, it would have been a long time since he entered the Husni plane. It's been over ten years.
In the past ten years, Bishop Ye Xinyu was promoted to archbishop due to the smooth progress of his missionary work. He also received a lot of divine grace. Compared with the original traveling priest, his strength has been greatly improved.
Although Ye Xinyu was promoted to archbishop, life felt no better than before.
In the past two years, the Silver Moon Church, which was originally secretly preaching, may have been stimulated by the Church of Nature's Wrath, and it has also openly preached. It has been working hard for so many years and it has not been just ten years since it entered the Husni plane. What the Church of Nature's Wrath can compare to is that in just two years since its public preaching, it has won the missionary rights of more than ten kingdoms.
In terms of missionary scope alone, the Silver Moon Church has surpassed Nature's Wrath by a lot. Of course, in terms of the depth of missionary work, there is still some gap between Silver Moon Church and Nature's Wrath Church.
After all, the Church of Nature¡¯s Wrath monopolizes missionary rights in five countries and has been established as a state religion, completely cutting off the possibility of the Silver Moon Church wanting to enter the missionary field. There are only two countries where the Silver Moon Church has been established as the state religion, but the problem is that the more than ten kingdoms that the Silver Moon Church preaches and the four kingdoms occupied by the Wrath of Nature are separated by a huge empire and a principality. This completely eliminated the possibility of the Church of Nature's Wrath wanting to deal with the Silver Moon Church.
If this trend continues, there will be a total of about thirty countries, large and small, in the Husni plane. In the end, the Church of Nature's Wrath may occupy up to ten, and the remaining two-thirds of the countries will be Occupied by the Church of Silver Moon.
For the archbishop Ye Xinyu, this is simply an unforgivable thing. The church headquarters placed high hopes on itself, but in the end, the Silver Moon Church took away most of the results. I am afraid that Ye Xinyu will not forgive herself in the end.
Well, in fact, Ye Xinyu has already arranged a plan to deal with the Silver Moon Church, which is to control the Green Thorn Empire that separates the two churches, and then launch a series of offensives against the Silver Moon Church. In terms of missionary methods, Ye Xinyu's methods were much more drastic.
First, make friends with a certain prince of the Green Thorn Empire through the merchant priest, and then kill the emperor of the Green Thorn Empire and help the prince ascend to power. There are three steps in total. For now, the first step has been completed. Time went to the Green Thorn Empire. With the colorful products and huge funds of the Church of Nature's Wrath, he quickly gained the appreciation of the upper class in the Green Thorn Empire, and thus made friends with several princes.
Of course, dragons give birth to hundreds of different sons, and the princes born to the emperor of the Green Thorn Empire also have different qualities. There are princes who are talented and strategic, and are favored by the emperor, and there are also princes who one day behave misbehaving and make the emperor dissatisfied.
But the prince Ye Xinyu chose was neither a talented one nor a mischievous one. He was just the most inconspicuous prince. This prince had neither the talents of other princes nor any powerful relatives. His mother was just a She was just a barmaid who was occasionally favored by the emperor. With such a humble mother, the prince's status also plummeted, and his character was extremely cowardly and incompetent.
Several bishops in the church branch were puzzled that the Archbishop would choose such a collaborator, but after Ye Xinyu reminded themAfter seeing the mystery, the bishops suddenly realized it.
Indeed, the church does not need a talented and strategist emperor to fight against the church, nor does it need a misbehaving emperor to cause trouble for the church. Instead, an emperor with a weak and incompetent character and no strong background is the easiest to control.
Ye Xinyu was sitting in a magic information room in the church branch. This was the place where merchants and priests in the entire plane received information sent back through the magic network. The plan had already begun the second step. Ye Xinyu could not hold back his eagerness. He felt that he had to sit in the magic information room and wait for the news, although he knew that the news might come very late.
At this time, the paladins training in the training ground found that Mr. Kamalas, who must come every day, seemed to be absent today. However, as the paladins who were far lower than Mr. Kamalas, even if they had doubts, I dare not ask around for its traces.
The Imperial Capital of the Green Thorn Empire is a majestic city with a history of more than two hundred years. It can almost be said to be the civilized center of the Husni Plane. Merchants from all over the world continuously transport various goods here, and then ship them here. The goods they need are transported away, and the prosperity of commerce creates the special status of the imperial capital of the Green Thorn Empire.
It can be said that if there is any problem in the capital of the Green Thorn Empire, the prices of foreign goods from various countries in the Husni plane will soar several times.
The entire imperial capital is surrounded by a giant city wall about fifty meters high. The prosperity of magical civilization has been revealed here. On top of the giant city wall, there are more than a dozen small and exquisite magic towers. They are the last barrier of the imperial capital. , any enemy who dares to attack will flee in panic under the thunder blow of the magic tower.
There are also hundreds of giant city-defending crossbows placed on the female wall slightly higher than the city wall. Daily maintenance allows them to be put into fierce city-defending battles at any time, and the city wall is enough for two fierce horses to sprint even if it is blocked. When the enemy climbs aboard, the cavalry brigade rushing past the city wall will also allow them to enjoy the thrill of falling objects from high altitudes.
The city defense troops numbering up to 50,000, and the underground grain warehouses that can feed the city's 300,000 people for three years are enough to make any enemy who wants to besiege the imperial capital forget to stop.
In short, in the eyes of all the countries in the plane, the imperial capital of the Green Thorn Empire is completely a giant fortress that can never be breached.
And just today, His Majesty the Great Green Thorn Emperor will hold the thirty-seventh wedding in his life. Well, in fact, this Emperor who is famous for his stallion has a total of one hundred and seventy-seven wives. As for the prince, Princess, even His Majesty the Green Thorn Emperor himself cannot fully recognize it. And every time a wedding is held, the wives who come to marry are all women of noble status and strong backgrounds.
In fact, every wedding of His Majesty the Green Thorn Emperor seems to bring benefits to the Green Thorn Empire. For example, the hostess of the last wedding brought His Majesty the Green Thorn Emperor a dowry of five cities. Although the dowry of those five cities All taxes and even the armed forces belong to the princess, but at least in name, these five cities are separated from another kingdom and belong to the Green Thorn Empire.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT off, the Green Thorn Empire is becoming more and more powerful.
The only problem is that the concubines married in the first thirty-six weddings all have names. Any imperial subject can recite the nationality of the concubine and even how to get to know His Majesty the Emperor and finally become involved. The experience of falling in love.
The princess married in this wedding does have a name. Her name is Aesalia, which is completely inconsistent with the common surnames in the Husni plane. As for the origin of this princess, even those Even the most powerful imperial ministers didn¡¯t know.
¡°I don¡¯t know if the Royal Concubine is too mysterious, or if the Emperor keeps confidentiality very well? In short, the ministers know that His Majesty the Emperor has become a lot happier during this time, and it seems that being able to marry this imperial concubine will be a major event in the history of the empire.
Perhaps in some kingdoms, ministers can be equal to the king, but in the Green Thorn Empire, His Majesty the Emperor is the supreme being. Not to mention these ministers, even the prince, if he offends Long Yan, others will not be able to intercede. .
Therefore, the ministers and princes also consciously did not ask the emperor about the origin of the princess.
The entire wedding was held with great grandeur. Even the carriage used to marry the princess showed off its exaggerated magnificence and delicacy. It is said that even the handkerchief on it, which was less than the size of a palm, was made from a combination of thousands of patterns. become.
The entire wedding process was that His Majesty the Emperor set off from the palace an hour after daylight fell, went to another palace to pick up the Princess, and then the two of them rode a gorgeous palace carriage around the main road of the imperial capital, allowing the subjects of the Empire to see His Majesty the Emperor and his wife. After the perfect match, Her Royal Highness returned to the palace for the next few ceremonies.
Due to the sense of mystery that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine brought to the subjects, the main roads in the imperial capital were crowded with subjects who were rushing to see the emperor's concubine. Under such circumstances, even the palace guards were dispatched to clear the way ahead. , the progress of the entire convoy was also excruciatingly slow.
Well, in fact, as the Emperor, His Majesty is used to this speed. When His Majesty the Emperor went on a tour, wouldn¡¯t those humble subjects be so enthusiastic to pay homage to their monarch?
Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but smile proudly at the charming imperial concubine beside him: "My dear concubine, I'm afraid you don't have so many people there, right?"
The extremely charming princess lowered her head and smiled slightly, but there was a trace of disdain in her eyes. If it were not to fulfill the important task assigned by my lord, she would not be willing to marry a self-righteous bumpkin emperor.
In fact, for a long-lived species with a lifespan of more than a thousand years, marrying an ordinary human is just a small embellishment in a long life.
"Your Majesty has so many subjects, I'm almost dazzled by them." Of course, even though she was dismissive of the emperor, the mysterious princess still said a few words, teasing the beauty who was about to seduce her. His Majesty the Emperor, whose eyes were dazzled by lust, burst into laughter.
Just when His Majesty the Emperor was so amused that he was about to become lustful and indulge in prostitution in the daytime, a city defense soldier who was responsible for maintaining order, whether he was unconscious or drunk, rushed towards His Majesty the Emperor's carriage. come over.
"Catch him! You are really shameless. Can His Majesty the Emperor's chariot be able to collide?"
The chief of the palace guard, who had already been annoyed by the road-opening work and was about to get angry, found a good channel to vent his anger. Of course, it was impossible to vent his anger now. He just ordered the palace guards around him to take it down and wait for His Majesty the Emperor to return to the palace. If you punish him well, of course it would be the best thing if you can extract some atonement money.
Unexpectedly, the palace guard who stepped forward to capture the city defense army was knocked out by the city defense army. It was so useless! It is simply an embarrassment to His Majesty the Emperor! The captain of the palace guard fiercely vowed to kick these wastes out directly. With a few vacancies, he could collect a few more remunerations.
But when the captain of the palace guard discovered that his men were lying on the ground motionless after being knocked out, and blood seemed to be flowing out from under their bodies, he felt something bad. Just when he was about to shout something, his throat was cut. He slashed the dagger straight across and cut a large gash. As the tape vibrated violently, the guard captain could only grunt and fall down.
It can¡¯t be said that the guard captain didn¡¯t play a role. At least the palace guards guarding the emperor¡¯s carriage noticed something strange. They all shouted to protect him and pulled out the weapons with a swishing sound.
To be honest, these palace guards had never been on the battlefield, and they had never encountered any assassination in the palace for so long. Therefore, after the guard captain fell, they drew their weapons and only dared to shout near the carriage, trying to kill the assassin. Scared away directly.
???????? In their view, since they have a large number of people, the assassin will naturally retreat as long as he is not a fool. And since they have protected the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, there will be no shortage of rewards for their merits in the future.
But the problem is that most assassins are not the kind of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, they would not become assassins.
