MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 706 :rebuke
With a splitting headache, Simon dragged his heavy body and returned to the palace in a daze.
When Mike heard the news, he immediately rushed to report to him: "Burd died in battle!"
Simon jerked violently, woke up from his groggy state, and turned his head to look at Mike in disbelief: "What's going on?"
Mike said with an ugly face: "When the Hood family was persuaded to surrender, that guy Lauren colluded with his retainers and some lords to launch a palace coup. Burd was trapped and killed, Marquis Hood was put under house arrest, and the retainers loyal to Marquis Hood were killed. Forced to stand on Lauren's side.
Afterwards, Lauren also shifted the responsibility to those slain retainers.
But the evidence for this matter is solid, and Lauren and the others also lost their army. I think they can be killed to avenge Boulder! "
Simon suddenly felt tightness in his chest and difficulty in breathing. His face was pale and he supported the desk with his hands: "No, absolutely not. I promised before that I would exempt the lords from rebelling. Once those guys are executed, the lords who have surrendered will be killed. Rebel again!"
Mike frowned: "But in this matter, it is obvious that Lauren touched the red line. Even if he is executed by you, I believe other lords will understand."
"No! You don't understand, human beings have never been a reasonable creature. Once Lauren is executed, the lords will only see that the king did not keep his promise, and the kingdom will surely fall into extreme chaos!"
Simon shook his head weakly, with headaches, dizziness, nausea, and extreme anger and sadness. He had never experienced this level of discomfort.
He will remember Boulder's revenge, but this kind of pass is definitely not a good time for revenge!
Mike was silent for a long time, he always felt that the former Simon was farther away from them.
From the king's point of view, it is indeed right to maintain the stability of the kingdom first, but from the point of view of his friends, Simon's actions made him feel a little chilled.
Seeing that Mike didn't leave, Simon asked weakly: "Is there anything else?"
Mike rubbed his nose subconsciously: "The three armies defeated Hamilton's rebel army, Earl Hamilton was captured, Earl Mengsk and Count Santana were killed, the rebels were killed and injured nearly 50,000 people, deserters turned into bandits, looted everywhere, let People in half of the northern border are in panic."
Simon clenched his fists instantly, and growled, "Didn't I say that surrender is the main thing? Let Carmel and Alyosha roll over to see me immediately!"
Mike nodded and left. Simon sat slumped on the seat, propping his forehead weakly with his hands. He is the king, and he only needs to carry out his orders, but why do the people below always like to be smart!
…
After receiving the summons, Earl Carmel and Alyosha did not dare to delay, and immediately handed over the military affairs and returned to the capital, where they met the king in the palace.
Simon turned his back to them expressionlessly: "Tell me, why did you treason?"
Earl Carmel was taken aback and argued: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions. Don't listen to the villain's slander!"
As a qualified nobleman, he naturally thought that someone must be speaking ill of him behind his back, trying to throw dirty water on an important minister who holds military power but is not trusted, it is simply not too simple.
Simon turned around slowly and looked at him with a cold expression: "No such intention? Then let me ask you, why didn't you follow my instructions and recruit the Hamilton family!"
Alyosha quickly explained: "At that time, the Rosen family and the Hood family had surrendered, but the Hamilton family did not intend to surrender at all. In order to suppress the rebellion as soon as possible, we had no choice but to take the initiative to attack them.
And if the lord rebels, but no one is punished, this will also greatly reduce your majesty, and defeating a major rebel army can also serve as a warning to other lords. "
"Fart!" Simon punched the table, startling both Carmel and Alyosha.
Simon looked at them with a gloomy face, and gritted his teeth: "You didn't pass the news that the Rosen family and the Hood family had surrendered to the Hamilton family.
Knowing that other lords have surrendered, I don't believe that Earl Hamilton will continue to resist, he is not that stupid!
Killed 50,000 rebels in World War I, don't you feel honored! Do you feel that you have made a great contribution!
But let me tell you, what you killed were not 50,000 rebels, but 50,000 young and strong men from the Silver Moon Kingdom!
Today, there are less than 800,000 young and strong men in the Silver Moon Kingdom, and you killed one-sixteenth of them in one go!
You defeated the rebels not for my king, let alone for this country, but purely to satisfy your own vanity and desire for meritorious service! "
Seeing that their little thoughts were revealed by the king, both Carmel and Alyosha lowered their heads with guilt.
Simon didn't stop, and continued: "Also, since you have the ability to defeat the rebels, why don't you have the ability to flee the rebels? Do you know that the rebels who fled have now become bandits, robbing Loot the people and disturb the stability of the entire kingdom!"
Carmel said unconvinced: "No one can stop a fleeing army. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
Simon sneered: "But why didn't there be any problems with the armies of the Rosen family and the Hood family?"
Cameron stopped talking for a while, after talking, didn't he still want to say, didn't they resolutely carry out the king's order?
Alyosha was silent for a moment, and resolutely admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, this time it is our fault. You can punish us however you want."
He and Simon have known each other for a long time, of course he knows that Simon will not punish them severely, he just needs their attitude.
Simon glanced at the two of them coldly: "This time, my order was not clear enough, so I can't count it as your fault, but whether you have done anything wrong, I know in my heart, don't let me catch it again, you are doing it for your own sake. For my own good or in the name of the good of this country, to seek benefits for myself!"
After being reprimanded, the two walked out of the palace with ugly faces. Carmel was full of anger. He defeated the rebels and beheaded more than 50,000 people. Not only did the king not reward him, but he even scolded him, which is unbelievable!
Although Alyosha's face was gloomy, he was much calmer than Carmel.
Because the inside story of this incident, as Simon said, is that they came to seek meritorious service for themselves in the name of being good for the king.
In fact, if they pass the news to the Hamilton family, or wait for a while, there is a high possibility that the Hamilton family will surrender without a fight.
In this way, the 50,000 rebels will be sent back to their hometowns and become the people of the Silver Moon Kingdom again. The people in the northern border will not have to suffer from the defeat and looting, and the kingdom will be completely stable.
The king was justifiably angry because they had done something wrong.
