Chapter 2511 Keeping an Appointment
In fact, the idea of the emperor and the nobles is very simple. As long as they can protect their own status, family interests, and racial continuation, everything else is easy to talk about.
Although Her Majesty the Fairy Queen is extremely controlling and never shows mercy in her killings, when it comes to matters related to interests, the first thing she thinks of is the royal and noble factions.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, the Fairy Queen herself is part of the Fairy Royal Family, so she has the advantage of taking the lead in thinking of her own people, and this is normal operation.
Since the enchantress Nu Huan belongs to a good monarch who has won the hearts of both the emperor and the nobles, as well as the people, naturally no one wants her to die, and they all wish that she would live to be three to five hundred years old.
As for personally involving themselves in dangerous places and risking their lives, they will definitely oppose it in every possible way.
It can be said that 80% of those who raise the banner of opposition hold the view of preventing Her Majesty the Fairy Queen from risking her life.
As for the remaining 20%, just think of them as a group of brainless people who oppose for the sake of opposition.
But the 80% are not that smart, and they don't think about it. Apart from the envoys who came all the way to Moonlight City to meet the Holy Spirit, in which diplomacy did the two His Majesties need to come forward?
Either it was handed over to Elder Priscilla to receive it, or it was handed over to Elder Mai Sonoda to receive it, or it was given to me, a foreign elder, to receive it. The only exception was that the one who was received by Her Majesty the Elf Queen was Silk from the Naga tribe. Xena is older.
In fact, the original task of receiving Elder Scyna should have been completed by Elder Priscilla and me. However, the Fairy Queen was eager to successfully form an alliance with the Naga tribe. To show her importance, she personally disrupted the diplomatic process. and regroup.
But the apostle is different from Elder Scinna. The latter represents the friendship of the past, but the former is defined as a disaster!
In the face of friendship, we are warm and welcoming, but in the face of disaster
Anyway, since the beginning, the Fairy Queen had no intention of going to the isolated island to meet with the apostle in person, and from the twinkling look in her eyes, I could probably conclude that a certain elder would most likely be present in this negotiation, and I would accompany him as his deputy.
After everyone in the hall finished talking about what they were thinking, the Fairy Queen waved her hands and said: "I already understand your thoughts, and I will keep your loyalty in mind. I will not negotiate for an alliance this time. To come forward, I will send two people as my representatives and as representatives of Moonlight City to meet and negotiate with the apostles."
Upon hearing what the Fairy Queen said, many of the royal courtiers who raised the banner of opposition immediately returned to their posts, lowered their heads and closed their eyes, remaining silent as if taking a nap.
The few remaining people were ignored by the Fairy Queen.
This is how the court is. If your Majesty is not sure about something, the minority will obey the majority. If you are unfortunate enough to be in the minority, no matter how dissatisfied or angry you are, you have to keep your eyes shut. If you insist on screaming and defending yourself with all your life. That set of ideas is fine, then please go outside the palace to defend it. As long as you leave the palace garden, let alone defend it, no one will care about you even if you scream to the sky, let alone defend it.
Of course, everything has exceptions. If there is a stronger boss behind it, the remonstrance may not be accepted, but at least you will not be thrown out of the palace, even if you occasionally do something excessive, such as having sex with Priscilla The elders will be forgiven if they go against the bull and quarrel with Elder Lindsay.
There are no more than five people in the entire Moonlight City who can receive this kind of treatment.
Back to business.
At this time, most of the royal courtiers present have returned to silence, and the expressions on their faces can be described as wood carvings and clay sculptures. They are all sullen, completely different from the previous tit-for-tat aura.
But one of them still had a sparkle in his eyes, and he was as sharp as a knife, and he kept swiping at the faces of me and all the ministers.
However, the courtiers present are all veterans who have been in politics for many years. They have been fighting with each other in the court for decades. How can they be frightened by these unkind glances from you?
As for me, I am even less afraid.
I have experienced more than ten assassinations. The elite soldiers of the aristocratic and ambitious faction who harbored evil intentions were all trapped on the island by me in a battle. I even experienced the bloody purification assassinations more than twice. They were only slightly threatening. What can my eyes do to me?
Can you still stare me to death?
After a period of silence, the Fairy Queen spoke: "This time to form an alliance with the apostles, I have decided to elect two representatives to fully represent my will. Do you have any suitable candidates?"
Except for me, all the ministers present here can be said to be cunning and cunning. They naturally understand the voice-over of Her Majesty the Fairy Queen: Do you still need to recommend someone who can represent me? The candidate has already been decided, and the reason why there is no extra step is just to test the tacit understanding between the king and his ministers.
Naturally, the higher the tacit understanding between the ruler and his subjects, the better. If it is too low, there is always the danger of being swept out of the core of power.
After a short period of thinking, Elder Jennifer spoke first and said: "I suggest that Elder Priscilla and Elder An Xiaoyi should take on this responsibility."
As soon as Elder Jennifer finished speaking, a vote of royal ministers immediately seconded her opinion.
We are all discerning people and have known each other for so long. We should have known that Elder Jennifer is the most loyal general under Her Majesty the Fairy Queen. She is the kind of person who will never eat steamed buns if you ask her to eat them.
At this time, it is natural to follow her steps closely so that there will be no mistakes.
Sure enough, after hearing Elder Jennifer's suggestion and confirming that the vast majority of the courtiers agreed, the Fairy Queen nodded happily, and then started talking to the Fairy Queen in a low voice. She ignored her and her expression was almost ferocious. Great Elder Priscilla and her faction.
Now that the candidate has been determined, the meeting ends.
Due to time constraints, after the meeting, at the order of the Fairy Queen and the Fairy Queen, Grand Elder Priscilla and I traveled lightly and went to wait outside the courtyard of Master Dewey's mansion. After a while, Master Dewey slowly came out and met with Pu After meeting with us, Elder Lisla rushed to the airship base with us.
After getting on the airship, I still leaned against the window and stared at the scenery outside the window. The conversation between the two big guys kept coming to my ears. The content of their chat sounded high-level, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Most of the chat content is meaningless. In other words, it is just nonsense chat after dinner, just expressed in a more literary and artistic way.
As I listened, I began to feel sleepy.
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
I was pushed awake by Master Dewey. I originally wanted to sleep for a while, but I was ordered not to sleep again.
According to Master Dewey's wishes, we will arrive at our destination in half an hour. In order not to leave a bad impression on the apostles, we must be energetic, dignified and well-dressed.
After looking at the dried saliva and wrinkled clothes, Master Dewey let out a long sigh and ordered me to take a shower and change clothes immediately.
In desperation, I had to do it.
