A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 283. Chapter 283

After the Northern Territory War ended, Garland, after commending the Northern Legion, led the Central Legion on the way back to the King’s City.

When building roads, Garlan’s first focus was the avenue from the royal city to the north.

It has been nearly a year now, a large amount of money has been thrown down, and the roads are almost all liberated slaves. For the first time in their lives, they exchanged their own work for their own belongings, and they were all motivated. There is no need for supervision and urging by supervisors, so the road construction progress is very smooth.

From the northern border to the royal city, from muddy and uneven roads to stepping on the neatly built, spacious and flat avenues, everyone truly felt the benefits of building roads.

The leading generals were particularly impressed. Since embarking on the new road, the marching speed of the army has almost doubled or three times as much as before.

There are side roads on both sides of the main road. Normally caravans can walk on the main road, but once they encounter an army marching, they must take the initiative to give way to the side road.

When the army was moving forward, looking to both sides, the side roads were full of bustling caravans. Compared with the sparse queues and pedestrians on the muddy roads, the new roads here can be described as busy and bustling.

However, even if the number of people is very large, the side road is not blocked at all, because a new “road law” just announced to the whole country by the Shamash Temple stipulates that the side road is only allowed to go one way in one direction. High fines will be imposed.

In this way, the blockage caused by the encounter of large caravans from different directions is avoided.

When King Gallan’s chariot passed, the caravans and pedestrians on both sides of the road stopped one after another, facing the main road, kneeling respectfully, bowing their heads to their king.

After the king’s chariot passed, they stood up and looked curiously at the black and heavy army on the avenue that could not see the end.

The army returning from the battlefield carried an aura of iron and blood, and the oppressive sense of evil made the people on the side silent.

To these soldiers who use their bodies to guard their peace and national security, the people can’t help showing their awe.

Many young people, both men and women, looked at the strong and powerful soldiers, and their eyes flashed with scorching light. The young men yearned and the young girls admired.

The gates of Aaron Landis King’s City were wide open. Under the leadership of Shemur, the high priest of Shamash, all the powerful ministers in the King’s City went out of the city to welcome King Gallan’s return.

Amid the cheers of the people on both sides of the road in the city, the young king rode a white horse of the gods on the road slowly, stepping on the petals thrown by the children on the road, and a little floral fragrance remained on the horseshoes. He returned to leave for nearly two Palace of the month.

On the night Garland returned to the palace, many people tossed and turned on the bed and couldn’t sleep at night.

Especially the powerful aristocrats who participated in the murder of Garlan, one by one panicked.

Piansheng had to pretend to be nonchalant during the day, because they were still holding a trace of fluke and felt that their collusion with foreign enemies was done secretly and would not be detected.

They closely followed Garlan’s every move, trying to make correct judgments from the other’s behavior in order to better respond.

But after King Garlan returned to the royal city, he was just busy handling the accumulated government affairs and did not make any moves.

Because Gallan directly handed over the investigation and interrogation to Soga.

Nanna Temple will bear the responsibility of torture in his plan in the future, so he has gradually begun to directly hand over similar matters to Nanna Temple.

Knowing that this was King Gallan’s training of the Nanna Temple, it was also a test, Suojia did not dare to relax at all, and after receiving Gallan’s secret order, he began to secretly search around.

With the cooperation of Tal, the controller of the Intelligence Department, he found out everything as quickly as possible.

In the era of King Camos, the powerful nobles occupied more than half of the royal court and possessed great power.

However, after the great war two years ago, it weakened a lot.

Although the war caused a lot of damage to Aaron Landis, it also destroyed the fiefs of many powerful nobles.

Coupled with the deliberate containment of Garlan after he took office, now, there are only less than one-third of the real power aristocrats who control the fief city in the royal court.

Some of these powerful nobles are still loyal to King Gallan, such as Kareni, who was proclaimed as the city lord by the father of King Camos, but he did not hesitate when he gave the order from King Gallan. Di gave up his identity as the city lord and worked hard to guard the west.

Although some have no abilities, they are obedient and follow King Garlan’s orders honestly.

There is also a small group of people who are extremely dissatisfied with King Garlan’s practice of weakening their power and taking away their money.

In the murder of King Gallan, those powerful nobles who had bloodline of the royal family were especially happy.

Because Huimos, the only one who has the orthodox succession to the throne, is dead. If King Gallan also dies, then the next King Aaron Landis can only be re-selected from the royal family.

They felt that, anyway, King Gallan was also from the bloodline of the royal family. Since he sits on the throne, why can’t he sit on the same background?

Really speaking, as a brown skin, my blood is even more noble, isn’t it?

These nobles of the royal family who slandered so secretly in the bottom of their hearts completely forgot. When the Gasdad came over, they were afraid of becoming the target of the other party, like a quail, with a timid appearance of shrinking their heads and not daring to move.

They have completely forgotten that when King Camos died in battle, if it hadn’t been for King Garlan to summon an army to turn the tide and defeat the Gasdards and save Aaron Landis, all of them would have been subjugated slaves and prisoners. .

——Perhaps they have not forgotten, they just choose not to think about it.

The allure of the throne made them dazzled and decided to take the risk.

They secretly connected with the old Kanal nobles and the remnants of the Gasdad people, colluded with them, seized King Garlan’s great opportunity to go to Kanar, and conspired to kill King Garlan.

They managed to control Mitayas’s wives and daughters, poisoned them, and threatened Mitayas with their lives.

A series of conspiracies began.

First, the remnants of the Gasdards deliberately attacked Karenni’s army, delaying Karenni’s marching speed, allowing him to delay King Gallan to reach the city of Kanal.

After arriving in the city of Kanal, Mitayas, who was an internal correspondent, secretly passed the news that Garlan was going to sacrifice the dead soldiers in the early morning to the old nobles of Kanal.

As the earth snake, the old nobleman of Kanal arranged archers on the only way to attack Garland.

They certainly don’t think that such a simple strategy can kill King Gallan.

The purpose of arranging the archer’s attack is to act out a scene.

Mitayas, who had known this attack for a long time, deliberately injured himself with an arrow in order to protect Garlan, thereby gaining Garlan’s trust and being able to live with him in the same room.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to kill Garlan at night.

If it succeeds, as soon as Garlan dies, Aaron Landis will be in chaos.

At that time, Aaron Landis can’t take care of himself, and the old Kanal nobles and the remnants of the Gasdad people can regain control of the turbulent Kanal.

The powerful aristocracy of Aaron Landis can also support a new king who is more beneficial to him.

In this way, all three parties are happy.

However, the hope is beautiful, and the reality is tragic.

The end result was that all three parties were defeated, and King Gallan won a complete victory.

The remnants of Kanal’s old nobles and Gasdad people were dug out and cleaned up in one fell swoop. From then on, Kanal’s city was completely under Garlan’s control, and its control gradually expanded to the entire territory.

On the Aaron Landis side, when Soga found out everything, the powerful nobles who intended to murder Garland were all accused of treason and treason, and declared their crimes to the whole country in the name of the Nanna Temple. Then beheaded and executed in public.

When these powerful nobles died, all the cities entrusted to them were taken back and brought under the direct administration of the Central Court.

As a result, the number and power of the powerful nobles in the royal court was further weakened.

The centralization that Gallan wanted to implement has thus taken a big step forward.

As for the wife and daughter of Mitayas who were taken hostage by the powerful nobles, although they were finally rescued, Mitayas’s wife was a woman with strong personality. After hearing about her husband’s assassination of King Garland, she He gave his daughter who was less than two years old to a kind-hearted and honest couple who had never had children for adoption.

Then, she left a suicide note to express that she was shameless and continued to live, and apologized by herself.

The Mitayas had no other relatives, so Kayhos finally came forward, condensed their bodies, and buried them together in an unnamed cemetery.

…………

It took a full month for Garland to clean up all the follow-up matters and related personnel involved in this matter.

Then, he was finally able to rest for a while.

During his busy time, time flies, and summer comes again.

The courtyard is full of greenery, tall olive trees stand among the greenery, and the crescent-shaped pool draws a bend in front of the pavilion, and the clear pool water is sparkling in the sun.

It’s only early summer, but the royal city is already very hot, and the lotus flowers are already blooming.

The green lotus leaf was floating on the water, and when the wind passed over the water, the light blue lotus that Aaron Landist had swayed gently in the pool.

Garlan sat by the Crescent Lake, soaking barefoot in the cool water.

A large lion with golden brown mane was immersed in the pool water and swam around.

As soon as it stopped, Garlan would throw a small stone over it, and then it would swim again obediently.

Originally in the summer, because it was too hot, Nega would become lazy and reluctant to move.

But in this way, the big lion that ate and slept became round and round at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Garlan, who could not tolerate her mighty and mighty lion becoming a ball of flesh, brought Nega here every morning and forced it to swim.

At first, Nega wanted to be lazy, but as soon as he was lazy, Garlan would cut his favorite meat in half, so the big lion had to swim in its nasty pool every day to fill his stomach.

A cool feeling came from under his feet, dissipating the heat in his body, and Garlan shook his calf soaked in the water, feeling a lot more comfortable.

Hiemos, who was standing nearby, glanced at Garlan, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He raised his head, raised his right arm with the leather handguard, and blew a whistle.

There was a long cry in the sky, and a vigorous eagle descended from the sky, retracted its wings and landed on the right arm of Hiemos.

Sharp eagle eyes stared at its owner, and Anu let out a short cry.

Garlan looked up at it and laughed.

“I was still worried about where it went, but it turned out to be back on its own.”

When he returned to the palace, he found that Anu was already here, and Xiemur, Tapti and others also learned that Huimos was safe and sound.

It turned out that because Huimos didn’t want him to worry, he asked Anu to fly back to the city to send a letter to him shortly after entering Kanal.

It’s just that Garlan happened to have arrived in King Kanal at that time, so he missed it.

Huimos fed Anu a small piece of fresh meat.

He said: “When I lost my way on the snowy field, it found me and brought me out of the snowy field.”

“So did it save your life?”

Gallan’s eyes curled.

“No, even without it, I can come out by myself.”

Huimos lowered his head and looked at Garlan who was sitting by the pool with a smile.

Raising his hand, he sent Anu back to the sky.

He leaned over and squatted down on one knee.

The golden red eyes narrowed slightly, staring deeply at the young man in front of him.

“There is only one person in this world… even if I die, the body will crawl back to him.”

Huimoss eyes softly and whispered.

Then he leaned over.

Seeing that their faces were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, a cold glass cup came in from the side abruptly and blocked the approaching Himos.

“Please don’t come back like a corpse, Master Huimos, that will cause panic and cause us trouble.”

The voice of the magistrate sounded nearby.

“This is your honey juice.”

The ice cube inside made a clatter, and the glass cup that Tapti had handed over almost stuck to Hiemos’ face, completely separating Hiemos from Garland.

Huimos had to step back a little and raised his hand to take the juice.

He thought about it, and simply sat down beside Garlan.

Side by side, close together.

The female officer standing behind Garlan couldn’t help but raised her eyebrows. She was about to speak, and at this moment, Niega, who had swam around, swam back.

It swam straight to Garlan, and then stepped on the underwater stone steps to reach Garlan.

All her golden-brown mane was wetly attached to her body.

So, as a cat’s instinct, the big lion who came to Garlan shook his head and threw water.

Gallan raised his hand to cover his face in time.

But Heimos, who was still holding the glass of honey juice in his hand, caught off guard, and was immediately thrown into water by Nega.

The black hair splashed with water stuck to his face wet, and the water continued to flow down his face, and the juice that had not been drunk in his hand was splashed with a lot of water from the lion’s body.

He stared at Nega blankly.

Nega, who felt the murderous intent, turned his head and opened his mouth.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo well

Huimos continued to stare at it blankly.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (

One person and one lion faced each other for a moment.

Garlan, who was holding Nega’s neck, was already smiling and lying on the lion.

…………

The magistrate standing behind looked at the bright smile on the boy’s face, her eyes softened.

She stood quietly, watching the scene in front of her, with a slight smile on her face.
