Chapter 2133 Not in His Place
The persecution from the courtiers hung high above my head like a hill.
Bearing everything silently, I calmly adjusted my breathing and thought about how to respond.
I know very well that once I cannot give them a satisfactory answer, from now on, there will be no place for me in this court.
At the same time, my family is likely to be ostracized by them.
I don't care about the insults and rejection, but I will never allow this humiliation to happen to my family.
This means that there are only two choices before me, either to remain silent and kill all the guys who have brought humiliation to my family, or to give a satisfactory answer.
The former item will kill many people and is very troublesome.
So, I choose the latter option.
"Everyone," I turned around and scanned the faces of each courtier: "If I leaked the secrets of Fort Vicky today, will you still choose to believe me in the future? Will Your Majesty choose to believe me in the future?" Can Moonlight City still tolerate me?”
A considerable number of the courtiers withdrew their doubtful gazes, replaced them with encouraging ones, and chose to support me, while a larger number were still questioning me.
"Elder An Xiaoyi, if you are here today to help His Majesty solve his problems, I believe that all the people of Moonlight City will regard you as a hero, respect you, and worship you."
One of the courtiers said to me with a righteous face: "If you choose to remain silent and do not cooperate, I am afraid that everyone present, including all the people of Moonlight City, will question your loyalty to His Majesty and Moonlight City."
Taking a deep breath, I slowly said: "My lord, please forgive me for disagreeing with your view on loyalty. I believe that as long as you have a clear conscience, you are loyal."
"But you are clearly capable of solving it, but you refuse to help His Majesty solve his problems. Is this what you call a clear conscience?"
"My lord, what you said is just a clear conscience in your eyes. In my opinion, my words and deeds all have a clear conscience."
The old courtier's face flushed red, he frowned, pointed his halberd at me and said: "You are using strong words to make excuses! This is sophistry! You are simply unworthy of His Majesty's expectations of you, and unworthy of the respect given to you by the people of Moonlight City!" "
I sneered, remained silent, took a step back, and returned to the queue.
The furious courtier saw that I ignored him and no one came forward to help him. His old face turned purple with embarrassment. He hesitated for a long time. Finally, like a deflated ball, he turned to the Fairy Queen and spoke to the floor. , said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, old minister, I have lost my temper."
The Fairy Queen waved her hand: "Return to your position peacefully. The essence of this court meeting is discussion and discussion. As long as you did not deliberately disturb the court, I can forgive you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The courtier climbed up from the ground tremblingly, patted his clothes habitually, and returned to his position.
The Fairy Queen looked around the lobby, then withdrew her gaze, and patted the Fairy Queen's hand gently: "Tell me, is Elder An Xiaoyi right, or is he right?"
As he spoke, he glanced at the courtier just now with a vague look.
The courtier suddenly became nervous.
The Elf Queen pondered for a moment and said softly: "Although what he said is right, I prefer Elder An Xiaoyi."
I quietly raised my head and grinned at the Elf Queen, whose cheeks turned bright red.
The Fairy Queen turned her head slightly and glared at me from the corner of her eye. I was startled and immediately lowered my head again.
Just listen to the Elf Queen continue: "As the saying goes, if you are not in your position, you will not do anything. Although Elder An Xiaoyi has a close relationship with Fort Vicky, in the final analysis, it is also his private life and has nothing to do with others, and there is no need to tell us What to report? Besides, he is just an elder of the foreign race, managing and regulating all matters related to the foreigners. Now the people of Moonlight City have a harmonious relationship with the foreign residents and live together harmoniously. This has proved that Elder An Xiaoyi is conscientious, loyal to grandma, and so loyal to the emperor. Even if people who fulfill their responsibilities are not rewarded, they should not be resented for their illegitimacy."
"Your Majesty, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! Since he is my elder of Moonlight City, he should."
Another courtier became anxious and blurted out while bowing.
Before she finished speaking, the Fairy Queen chuckled, and then said loudly: "Well said, very well said!"
The courtier looked confused and wondered, did his half-sentence scratch his Majesty's itch? Make His Majesty’s Sacred Heart happy?
While he was confused, he heard the Fairy Queen say again: "Anasta, you are right. Although Elder An Xiaoyi takes my salary, his responsibilities are limited after all. He has done what he should do and said what he should say. I also don’t think that such a minister is unloyal to the king or patriotic. As for his relationship with Wichburg, that is his personal privacy. I am the monarch, not a paparazzi. I have no interest in personal privacy. As long as he still performs his duties with all his heart, that’s all. enough."
After saying that, she looked at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you still have any objections?"
Under the throne, in the main hall, dozens of people were shouting and cheering, but no one dared to make a sound.
The reason for this is that the entire court and all the courtiers have more or less contact with the dignitaries of other countries. This is a common thing in noble circles. Not only the monarchs need to communicate with each other, but also their ministers. It is necessary to communicate with each other from time to time, so as to further promote the development between countries.
Of course, this is only official.
If you take away the cover-up and face your heart directly, that is - everyone has shit on their butts. Since Her Majesty the Fairy Queen has refused to pursue the case, then don't act stupidly and commit suicide. The result of fighting against the wind will only be death. destroy.
After calming down the courtiers' criticism of my identity, the Fairy Queen explained why she had to show weakness to Fort Vicky - because dwarves and goblins are both very proud races, and they like to help the weak just to show their strength. .
If you want to have better communication with Fort Vicky, the first thing you need to do is to pose as a weakling and strive to gain maximum sympathy. Even if you don't get annotations from ancient texts, you can at least get some more sophisticated ones. Technology research and development technology.
Having said this, the Fairy Queen turned to me and asked: "Elder An Xiaoyi, I heard that Fort Vicky recently developed a new thermal weapon. Is this relevant?"
"Yes," I took a step forward and said loudly, "it's a thermal weapon called a Gatling gun."
"I know this." The Fairy Queen nodded: "Is there anything else?"
"Then no." I shook my head: "Other thermal weapons are still under development. As for the performance effects, experts from the Fort Vicky Science and Technology Department did not give me a clear explanation. They just said that the next thermal weapon will be successfully developed. This thermal weapon will be a firearm with high explosive power and high penetration."
