Chapter 597 Who Can Help Me Fill in the Gap of Surrender that I Lack?
Unexpectedly, the opposition not only expressed strong interest in this, but also had a very positive attitude.
Even the classic pulling and testing links were gone, and they immediately said that it was no problem, and we would definitely come to His Majesty's birthday!
However, when the Northeast Envoys entered the capital, everyone was shocked to find that their carriages had suddenly changed to gold-plated noble family emblems!
This means that the people sitting in the carriages were not envoys representing a certain noble, but the nobles themselves who were the actual owners of this emblem!
Including Duke Xiaguang and Duke Liguang, they actually came to pay their respects to the queen in person!
I can only say that perhaps this is the predetermined fate. No matter who it is, Huiguang is destined to be struck, even if the one who strikes is their own people.
Now the nobles in the capital were all dumbfounded. In the chaos, it was Lord Hu who stabilized his position and asked everyone to quickly prepare for the ceremony of receiving the Duke.
In a hurry, they hurried and hurried, and finally made sufficient preparations before the arrival of the convoy, so as not to lose face in front of these damn bastards.
Who would have thought that after getting the permission to enter the city and arriving at the gate of the Sun Castle smoothly, for some reason, none of the gentlemen in the carriage got off.
This matter was serious, and the receptionist was so anxious that he almost cried. The big pot was thrown back and forth, and finally a newcomer walked forward with a fearless attitude.
"Excuse me, Mr. Knight, is there anything else that the Duke has not solved?"
Since even the chief knight of a small baron dared to kill people at will, the guard commander of a duke of a country would naturally be very proud.
Hearing this, he was not angry at all, but just snorted coldly.
"My duke hasn't seen Her Majesty the Queen for a long time. May I ask if she is in good health?"
After a brief daze, the young man was full of anger-damn, this old guy actually wanted Her Majesty the Queen to come out to greet him in person?
Although it is not impossible according to the etiquette of the kingdom, those who are qualified to receive this honor must be great nobles who have made great contributions to the kingdom.
For example, if Lord Xi could win that battle, let alone asking Feiya to personally welcome them, you could ask her to move hundreds of miles to Huguoguan Pass to welcome them.
But what about today? You ministers are here to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, but you actually want the birthday boy to come out to welcome you? You have no shame!
However, the current situation is different from the past. It is the capital faction that is begging the opposition faction, so they have enough time to waste with you, and they just want you to surrender.
But if they really let the queen come out to welcome them according to their request, then there will be no need to talk about anything in the subsequent negotiations, just kneel down and kowtow!
At the critical moment, it was the veteran of the power field, Lord Hu, who came out again, dressed neatly, and went to welcome them in his personal name.
Good news, Xiaguang and Li Guang gave the old man this face, and soon led the opposition nobles to get off the carriage.
Bad news, they came to form a group to see the joke of this old guy.
——Hey, what's going on today? Why is my dear Duke Huguang so cowardly today?
Although no one dared to say so, their eyes and attitudes said it all.
Lord Hu knew this very well, but he could only swallow his anger and purse his lips to welcome them into the castle.
If the two dukes were walking like dragons and tigers when they came here last time, they were arrogant this time.
Pointing to the garden that existed here in the time of the ancestor king: "Hey, this small fountain is so unauthentic,"
Then he looked at the oil painting that the former king liked the most: "Why is Liv's painting hung here? That old witch is really not as good as Master Custer."
Those who knew said that they had entered the palace of the Sun King, and those who didn't thought that they had entered their own home and were going to renovate the old house left by their ancestors!
The entourage dared not speak out, and could only put on an ugly smile and let these traitors brag in public without restraint.
Fortunately, the area of the Sun Castle was not very large, so after strolling for more than ten minutes, they came to the State Hall.
As a very important building in the castle, the State Hall not only exists alone, but also has a very grand design, which feels a bit like a Greek temple.
So even if they deliberately find fault, it is difficult for the nobles of the opposition to find fault after entering. They can only hum and mutter a few words like "too dark!"
After adapting to the dim light in the State Hall, they who were noisy just now became quiet.
Because in addition to the little queen sitting on the throne, there were many people sitting here.
On the left are the last few nobles of the Royal Capital Faction who can show off, and the Duke of Arc Light is naturally sitting in the front.
And on the right is the Holy Light Church, which has suffered heavy damage but still retains some power, and the Giant Pope has personally come out.
? ? ?
However, the church finally chose to stand on the side of the Royal Capital Faction, which the two dukes expected.
After all, just like them, these two are neighbors!
If it was before, they would definitely perform Sichuan Opera face-changing in public to show their loyalty to thank His Majesty the King for his kindness.
But now...
Stinky tomatoes with rotten potatoes, who are they trying to scare!
So after a brief surprise, the nobles in the opposition regained their composure and perfunctorily performed the tributary ceremony to Her Majesty the Queen one by one.
But probably to give them a warning, Fia deliberately played dumb until all of them finished the ceremony and woke up from the dream.
"Oh, why didn't anyone remind me to give seats to all the loyal ministers from the east and north? Come here, bring the chairs over!"
"Tsk..."
Although this matter is disgusting, even if you break it down, it won't weigh on the scale, and it will also make you look very dishonorable as a courtier.
Therefore, the nobles in the opposition faction did not make a fuss about this matter. They snorted in displeasure and took their seats one by one.
Then they discovered with confusion that there were only twenty or thirty people here, so why did the little queen grant so many seats at once?
Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen is kind and will not leave her ministers confused for too long. Soon, an announcement broke the silence in the State Hall.
"The delegation from the Republic of China has arrived!"
"ah?"
Seeing several Oriental-looking guys who were 100% pioneers walking through the door with a smile, the opposition nobles were all dumbfounded.
Isn't this just a reception party? Why is there still...
Wait!
According to the rules of Huiguang, in order to show the strength of the kingdom, some relatively large banquets will indeed invite some foreign envoys to participate.
For example, those small foreign countries located on the border of the kingdom just let a few savages come over for a meal. Anyway, their presence is not high, and no one will care.
But today, after absorbing the wisdom from another world from the pioneers, Feia's birthday celebration is so simple.
So in the announcements one after another like the Olympics, representatives from one country after another entered the State Hall.
Although most of them were born less than a year ago, they are only the external vest of various countries’ officials and even large trade unions.
In addition, including the Kingdom of Libra, a group of true and foreign barbarians who were not worthy of serving in the civilized world in the past also sent people to attend the banquet.
But if these piles of sesame and mung beans are pinched together, they will have a name that cannot be underestimated - the Tower Community.
"Is it possible..."
Sure enough, as the two dukes expected, after the lengthy and weird small country session, the big one came right away.
"The delegation from Lingxi Kingdom has arrived!"
"The delegation from the Khanate of Timos has arrived!"
Although the people who came in were battlefield observers who had been in Glow before, some of them had just escaped from the Western Region.
But since they can appear here on behalf of their respective countries, it is enough to explain their stance and purpose!
It's a pity that Eleanor has deeply understood the principle of "too much is not enough", and relied on her wisdom to successfully steal the chicken while Fia was busy making plans.
However, Feiya, who was in a hurry and wanted to find a way out for Huiguang and herself, didn't understand it at all. After she had enough, she continued to add more ingredients.
The result of this was that the opposition nobles who had been a little anxious before now calmed down and suddenly came to a conclusion.
There is no mistake. One post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, one read!
——The Royal Capital Faction, you’re scared!
If you are not afraid, why would you turn a small birthday celebration into such a grand event during the current national crisis?
Huh, don’t you just want to rely on these external forces to suppress the Sa family!
Moreover, if the Wangdu faction really intends to defect to external forces, then why go to all the trouble to set up a plan to let them come to Qixia City?
Just declare to join the High Tower Community, wait for the Deep Forest people to be beaten away, and then liquidate yourself, and you can save yourself from being humble and swallowing your anger!
Although in order to maintain the face of the Kingdom of Radiance, the opposition faction did not raise any issue at the banquet. The two dukes also expressed their blessings to His Majesty in public.
But this reception banquet was only the beginning of the three-day celebration. The real battle between the royal capital faction and the opposition faction would be at the private banquet that followed.
It can only be said that the Royal Capital Faction really has no soldiers who can fight. In this battle, the Duke of Arclight is still taking the initiative, almost facing the opposition Heavenly Group on his own.
Who would have thought that when he devoted all his energy and energy, he was ready to go all out in this war of words and preserve the interests of the Wangdu faction to the maximum extent possible.
When Duke Xiaguang opened his mouth, the old man was immediately confused.
"Don't you understand, Lord Arclight? Wake up! We have no chance of winning this battle!"
? ? ?
"Aren't you here to discuss cooperation?"
The opposition faction is indeed here to discuss cooperation with the Royal Capital faction, and the main topic is indeed related to the survival of Glory.
However, in some specific aspects, their thinking direction is probably very different from that of the Royal Capital Sect.
In short - Captain, the Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!
Bang!
Master Hu was so angry that his face turned red. He stood up and called him by his name.
"Earl! Ortiz! As a Duke, you actually want to betray the glow!"
Faced with the proposal of the opposition faction to unite with the Royal Capital faction to surrender to the Deep Forest people, not to mention him, other Royal Capital nobles also expressed their opposition on the spot.
But since the opposition dares to say this, they naturally have strategies and confidence to deal with this.
"Don't worry, you'd better take a look at this first."
With a smile on his face, Duke Liguang slowly took out a wooden box from the storage ring, pushed it to Lord Arc, and motioned for him to check it.
"What?"
As a civil servant, Duke Arc did not do it directly, but asked the guard to open it for him, only to find a bloody ring inside.
To be more specific, a ring with half a finger attached and the Xiguang family emblem engraved on it!
"you!"
Duke Arclight was so frightened that he dropped the tea cup in his hand and pointed at the two noble colleagues opposite him, trembling all over.
In the end, he was so angry that he fainted!
Negotiations require bargaining chips and confidence. If Lord Xi was captured and Lord Hu fell again, the Royal Capital Faction would have nothing.
When a person loses hope, no matter whether he gains or loses, any path in front of him will be considered, which naturally includes the one given to them by the opposition.
And the opposition is really smart. They know that they can't do things to the extreme. While calling on everyone to surrender to the Deep Forest, they also gave a lot of room.
"We are not traitors, look at this!"
It was a letter of guarantee from the new king of the Deep Forest. He promised that after the surrender of the Glowing Kingdom, the Glowing Kingdom would be retained and all the land they had occupied would be returned.
With this parchment, the opposition advocated the century-old friendship between the Deep Forest and the Glowing Kingdom, while advocating how powerful the two countries would be after they united.
"Pioneers, don't trust them!"
"They are just a bunch of thieves and profiteers, they will sell us out sooner or later."
"Don't let the orcs join them, that's too disgraceful."
After a while, they actually cultivated a group of surrenderists in a short period of time, suggesting that everyone surrender to the Deep Foresters.
"The Kingdom of Glory, no, the Kingdom of Deep Forest, yes!"
"Dad, I'm actually a Deep Forester, I've even become a Deep Forester."
"I heard there's a copper coin fried chicken in Deep Forest, why don't we just go online?"
After learning about this, the most anxious person in Jingji was not Fia, but Xiao Ri, who was farming peacefully on the Holy Mountain next door.
The Son of God was numb, he, a god who had died once, was still trying to take revenge, why did you, the damn princes and nobles, get scared first!
However, under the iron rule that the royal power and the church power are unrelated, as a church giant, the only thing he can do is to send a group of high-level monks to Sunshine City.
In this way, even if Huiguang really surrenders, he can move to Sunshine City and continue to develop with the base in the High Tower Community.
As the saying goes, everyone is in pain, so Ji Ming will also be in pain after hearing about this.
"It's so hard, why are things about Huiguang always so bad? In such a big capital, everyone is either a surrenderist or a fleeing party?"
The biggest problem is that Eleanor, who Ji Ming just sent away, is still a stubborn resistance party. If the capital really becomes a nest of soft eggs and insects...
Turtle, why do I feel that after the Little Ming Dynasty and France, the Kingdom of Huiguang has begun to rush towards the direction of the Great Song Dynasty?
