Chapter 493: Experts Fight, the Art of Weighing

The Sun King spoke very slowly, so slowly that everyone in the room could hear that the King was referring to something.

Of course, no one dared to point it out, and could only remain silent and watch the development of the situation quietly.

It was not until the atmosphere at the dinner table was suppressed to the lowest point that the Sun King finally said something indifferent.

"So you, as a junior, must take good care of your father for me, understand?"

This show of power ended.

Heinz was still young, and although he could vaguely hear that the King was talking about something, he didn't know the reason, so he didn't dare to guess, and could only bow obediently.

"I will follow your Majesty's teachings!"

"Yes."

As the Sun King nodded and drank a glass of wine, the air finally resumed flowing, and the nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

They looked at each other, but could only smile and nod, pretending that nothing had happened, which was even a little funny.

But at this moment, the old Xiaguang, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly started coughing again.

He coughed for at least two eight beats as if he was about to die, and only recovered his ability to speak under the patting of his youngest son Heinz.

"Oh, your majesty is right, I am... indeed old..."

He raised his increasingly turbid drunken eyes, and there was no trace of the heroic spirit that he had before when he stepped on the capital and decided life and death with a single word. He was just a tired old man.

His breath trembled slightly.

"Your majesty, I have a total of eight children in my life. The first few have been taken care of. Now the only thing I am worried about is this little one who will definitely not inherit the title."

An unsettling pause.

"I am old and can't do it anymore. I just hope that before I die, I can arrange his life events in this life, so that I, an old guy, can rest assured..."

Arrange them?

Uh, do you want to find me to arrange a job?

The Sun King's eyes flickered, wondering if this old guy didn't want to stay outside the capital anymore and wanted to reach out to the capital?

If it was somewhere else, it would be a bad thing for the nobles in the opposition to try to interfere in the core affairs of the kingdom.

But in the current Glowing Kingdom, this is a good thing.

Anyway, under the arrangement of the Sun Kings of all generations, the part that has been dispersed from the royal power is so much, and it will not increase or decrease.

You want to join the game to share the cake, okay, I have no objection, you see if the money bag and the sword and shield agree.

And Xiaguang doesn't know what's going on, but he really doesn't have many days left. When the three families are busy tearing each other apart, it will also be convenient for the new king to smoothly control the situation.

But just as the old sun was slowly calculating, Xiaguang suddenly changed his tone and continued weakly.

"My little one is good in everything, but sometimes he lacks his own opinion."

"In my opinion, he just lacks a good partner who can occasionally help him make decisions, discuss things, and take good care of him."

The audience: It's hard to hold back, are you talking about his mother?

"I thought about it and suddenly remembered that with the strict family style of the royal family, how excellent the offspring born would be? So..."

At this point, Duke Xiaguang was helped to stand up by Heinz, who was obviously prepared, and they bowed to the Sun King together.

"Your Majesty, please help me, considering my old age and many years of loyalty to the country, marry a princess to Heinz!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was quiet.

Although there is no clear law, after the incident twenty years ago, let alone the princess, the powerful nobles of Huiguang did not even marry a princess from the Sun King.

Duke Xiaguang wants to break this hidden rule and set a new precedent?

And so far, there are a total of nine royal children who have successfully survived the catastrophe, including five princesses and four princes. The princesses seem to have many choices, but three of them have already married.

Therefore, the Sun King did not speak, but turned his eyes to the Duke of Arc Light on the side, with a smile that was difficult to hold in his eyes, as if to say.

"Hey, I came for your Fia, what do you say?"

"Ah this."

The Duke of Arc Light, who was inexplicably involved, was already dumbfounded-what on earth does this old Xiaguang want to do!

Choosing sides in public at this time, isn't it going to kill me?

And a young son who is destined not to inherit the family title, still wants to marry a princess with a fiefdom and title?

Why do you think Musitin can have the title of "the strongest soft rice king in history", and everyone respects him as the son-in-law. Do you really think that everyone is making fun of him?

The rice is soft, but the bowl is not easy to hold!

Therefore, it was impossible for him to just give away his granddaughter, who had finally been promoted to the position of princess, without knowing why.

Therefore, Duke of Arclight also pretended to be drunk and stood up with the help of the table.

"Old Xiaguang, what you said is not right!"

He staggered for several steps before tremblingly holding up the wine glass.

"I have caught you now, right? I knew that you all had bad intentions for my Fia!"

In this game, the interests of the king, the purse and the sword and shield were the same, so Duke of Xiguang also stood up and slapped the table.

"What do you mean by bad intentions? Hey! I really don't mean to say that you, as a grandfather, have too much power. Why do you even want to control your granddaughter's marriage?"

"Why can't I control it? No, I am also an elder of the family, why can't I control it?"

"Oh, it turns out you can take care of it. So what you said before, that if my grandson opens his mouth, you are willing to match him, does that still count?"

"Arclight: Second Degree of Confusion"

No, bro, are you serious or are you changing the subject?

But now that things have come to this, we can only bite the bullet.

"When did I say that?"

Lord Xi slapped the table.

"shameless!"

"Hey, you..."

"Just tell me, are you a scammer?"

Maybe slapping the table was his way of casting the spell. Anyway, Sir Xi slapped the table again and then turned his head.

"Brother Yueguang, come out and testify for your brother. Did he say it before?"

"Ouch..."

As the oldest guy at the table, the old man's eyes were almost covered by his folds, and he looked old, comatose and delirious.

But at least he was a ruthless man who fought against the deep forest in the western border of the kingdom, and he knew it in his heart, so he just waved his hand.

"I don't know!"

Then he tilted his head again.

"I think you said that, right?"

Typical and muddy!

But what everyone wants now is peace and mud!

And it was probably because of their usual bickering that they had a tacit understanding. The Mang King and the Smiling Tiger were singing along, which really took the topic far away.

People who eat melons: Is it fun to watch old men quarreling about asking for marriage or not?

Wonderful, better pick it up!

But it is a pity that just when Xi Guang and Hu Guang felt that their performances had reached perfection and they could enter the final scene and prepare to exit.

"Why are you making such a fuss? The princess I'm talking about is not the one from your family!"

"ah?"

Following Xiaguang's feeble words, everyone present fell into silence again after being surprised.

Not Feiya?

Are there any other princesses of the right age?

Maren, Ava, Kesha, Faye...

It can't be that one, right?

Now it was Xiguang and Arclight's turn to look at the Sun King.

"Your Majesty, this is for you."

Sun King: "F**k!"

He took a sip of wine to hide his embarrassment.

"Hahaha, Duke Xiaguang knows how to joke. Are you talking about Eleanor?"

Xiaguang nodded as expected.

"Exactly."

He's so tall!

Resisting the desire to throw the wine glass on the old boy's face, the Sun King controlled his anger and then controlled his anger.

"Xia Guang, Eleanor is... special. You have to think clearly."

Xiaguang didn't reply, but turned sideways and raised her chin.

Although Heinz didn't play well with his father, he still reacted and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"I'll tell you the truth, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has fallen in love with Princess Eleanor since the first time I saw her. I think about her day and night. It's really painful. Please make it happen."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention those on the court, even the little earls at the next table could hardly hold back.

Because of Eleanor's special characteristics, this little girl has never left Qixia City since she was a child.

When I went south to Sunshine City with the Archbishop, it was the first time I traveled far in my life. This was a well-known fact in the royal capital.

And this youngest son of the Xiaguang family... is the last heir.

Maybe he was an illegitimate child born from his mistress. He was a fringe person who could not be found in the aristocratic social circle. It was probably the first time in his life that he entered the royal capital.

It was love at first sight...

Bro, let’s not talk about how ridiculous this sentence is. First, have you ever seen it?

But unfortunately, the most powerful weapon in this world is face.

Maybe Heinz is younger and his face will turn red when he cheats, but the old thief Xiaguang is already completely shameless.

He also sighed pretending to be helpless.

"Oh, Your Majesty, it's my youngest who begged me so hard that I have the audacity to beg you to marry me in public. Please forgive me."

Okay, another damn plot - Xiaguang's famous dish, Grilled Sun King.

I'm sorry, I'm just the boss of Anton VI, why can't I get along with a junior? I'm really not ashamed.

Forgiveness means that Anton VI has no objection to this marriage, and it will be difficult for him to refuse it later.

Therefore, the Sun King did not answer this question at all, but activated the trap card "I am a barbarian" and followed him into this cesspit martial arts arena where only shameless people deserve to play.

He started with the same sigh.

"Well, Duke, you also know about Eleanor's situation. A single move can affect the whole body. There are many things that are not decided by you or me."

"Besides, she is an adult and has her own fiefdom. She has her own opinions. We old people should give less orders."

As a result, Duke Xiaguang was well prepared and directly activated the "selective answer". He threw away the words behind the Sun King and started talking about the previous sentence.

"I understand. Your Majesty is worried about the attitude of those in the deep forest?"

"Actually, it's not necessary, because according to the information I got from the old man, the people from the Deep Forest actually participated in tonight's operation..."

The Sun King almost laughed in anger, they did it too, right? Then why didn't you say that you did it too?

Unexpectedly, Duke Xiaguang was not just talking nonsense this time. He handed a report to Heinz and asked him to tell the thrilling story of last night.

The content of the story is mostly to exaggerate how brave and fearless the Xiaguang family's intelligence network was, and they tried their best to intercept the intelligence of the deep forest spies.

Then, how shrewd he was, he analyzed the possibility that the Deep Forest people were involved in last night's incident, and directly captured the definite evidence.

"Your Majesty, although I received the news a little late and failed to solve the disaster from the root, at least we have definite evidence in our hands."

"Oh, this."

In fact, according to the art of weighing, although what happened last night was big, it can be reduced to a small one.

After all, to put it in a big way, the entire capital was in chaos, and the economic losses alone were sky-high. It can be said to be the biggest shame of the Glowing Kingdom since the Changge incident twenty years ago.

But to put it in a small way, it is an indisputable fact that Shenlin is strong and Glowing is weak. No noble will think that the initiative is on our side. In addition, Shenlin has many layouts in Glowing territory and has been exerting influence. It is also a well-known secret that it is not surprising that such a thing happened.

And the people of Shenlin at least do things with their faces covered, which is considered to give Glowing face to steal behind the scenes.

However, now that Duke Xiaguang has spoken this matter in public and supplemented the complete chain of evidence, it is equivalent to weighing this matter, which can be big or small, and it instantly weighs a thousand pounds.

No, more than a thousand pounds?

It is a matter of honor and disgrace, even a million pounds cannot stop it!

Then, the Sun King now has an opportunity for revenge.

You are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, tear up the promise you made at the beginning, and marry Princess Eleanor to the son of a powerful duke as an exception to show revenge.

Why don't you do it?

Now it's good, another dilemma has emerged, and it is a fatal killer move.

If the Sun King agrees, it means that he admits his weakness to the Duke of Xiaguang in public.

It also means that he is the king of a country, the source of everyone's power, but he doesn't even know the movements of the enemy country in the heart of the kingdom.

He actually needs a vassal to help him find it, and then be as diligent as an old nanny to help him come up with a means of revenge.

Are you worthy of being a king?

If you don't agree...

We are about to fight to the death, why did your majesty surrender first?

Could it be that my emperor is also colluding with the enemy!

Maybe he could directly create a strong claim for the damn Duke of Xiaguang that would be enough to start a rebellion and start a full-scale war within the kingdom.

Then it was the classic move of clearing the court, holding the emperor hostage to command the princes, refusing three times, and finally changing the country's name to Xiaguang.

Even if it wasn't so exaggerated, the Sun King must immediately come up with a countermeasure, otherwise his ruling power and appeal would definitely drop.

But how could he come up with an idea in a short time? He could only think of ways to delay time.

"What the Duke said is true. I have indeed received the news, but the situation is urgent and I have to deal with state affairs first."

"How about this, let's not act rashly. I will first summon Ambassador Musitin, who was stationed in the capital by Shenlin, to see what they say?"
