Things from Another World - Chapter 1038

[1038. Chapter 1036 The Art of the Emperor?]

Yalinx, Cathedral of Light.

“…So, you have killed Klein?”

Pope Jesolini XXIII looked confused, looking at Tang En and not knowing what to say.

Even if he knew that with Tang En’s strength, it would be a matter of time before Illus regained Solant, but this news was too sudden, right?

Killed the king of Solant without a word?

And he also plans to take advantage of the situation to regain Solant?

“Are you thinking too simplistically?”

The Pope couldn’t help but said, “Even if you kill Klein, Solant and other lords and nobles, their influence in the local area is deeply entrenched and intricate. Just kill Klein.” Rhine cannot be the decisive factor at all, and it is impossible to successfully regain Solant.”

“Oh, I forgot to mention that the three major lords of Solant’s Western Territory, Glory Valley, and Lightning Wilder united to force Solant into the palace. Dead.”

Tang En shrugged and said: “So now there is no one who has the ability to aspire to be the king of Solant. In addition, we have left Queen Shanelli. Now she is the only legal heir of Solant. With the power of one word, as long as she publicly announces Solant’s return to the Illrus Empire, we will have a firm foothold in the righteousness. Even if there are rebels, we can use our righteousness to suppress them. Come on.”

The Pope was dumbfounded by Tang En’s plan to drain the firepower. This was to directly stand on the commanding heights and crush the will of others!

Needless to say, the Pope liked Tang En’s straightforward approach.

At least, just killing Klein can regain Solant, and make the Illrus Empire strong again, which will reduce many unnecessary casualties.

After taking back the territory of the Solant Kingdom, the several principalities sandwiched in between can also return. The Illus Empire will rise again and become the largest country in Purandal. Not only will the royal family receive huge benefits, Even the Holy See of Light will gain huge benefits from this.

Not to mention anything else, the average income of the citizens of the Solant Kingdom is much higher than the per capita income of the previous Illrus Empire (before Tang En succeeded to the throne). Solant has returned to the Holy See of Light, and those devout parishioners have contributed to the Holy See. The funds are a huge amount of income, and the Holy See of Light, which has been struggling, can breathe a sigh of relief and live a more luxurious life.

“Okay, then I’ll go with you.”

The Pope no longer hesitated and stood up neatly, planning to go with Tang En.

“I’ll go too.”

Saint Iluli also stood up: “In this situation of great changes, as a saint of the Holy See of Light, I should be present. People will be calmer when they see my figure. .”

“That’s the best.”

Tang En opened the portal casually: “Please.”

After the Pope and Iluli walked into the portal, Tang En also followed.

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Tang En saw a desperate Morrison kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and muttering “It’s over, it’s over” and so on.

“Who is this guy?”

Tang En glanced at him: “What’s wrong with him?”

Alleria smiled slightly: “He is Duke Morrison Caton, the father of Queen Shanelli, and also Klein’s father. Confidant, the ancestor of the Caton family voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become a lord, and has been serving the royal family for several generations. Therefore, he is very favored by the Solant royal family, and his power in Solant can be equal to that of the three lords.”

” Oh… Then why is he crying so sadly?”

Tang En was a little surprised: “A moment of silence for Klein?”

Not many loyal ministers treat him like this!

“He’s not that loyal.”

Topney said with a look of gloating: “He cares about his wealth.”

“How to say?”

Alleria smiled softly and asked nonchalantly: “I asked him what he thought. How much is his own life worth?”

“…”

Tang En looked at Alleria speechlessly. The princess also followed his bad example…ah!

What does it mean to follow yourself? She is inherently bad.

“Morrison originally planned to give half of his property to buy his life and that of his family, but Topney was willing to give 10% more to buy his life, so Morrison directly donated all his property to us.

” Leah smiled very happily. Relying on the tricks she learned from Tang En, she easily made a huge sum of money for the royal family. Can she not be happy?

Along with the division and rise of Solant, the Caton family has accumulated extremely huge and considerable wealth. It may not be as good as the wealth owned by the Solant royal family, but it is definitely not much worse. The land, manors, farms, The total assets of the mines and his shops, goods, slaves, servants, etc. are probably worth tens of billions of gold, which is definitely an enviable amount of wealth.

But now, Morrison has to spend all his money to buy his life – because Topney is waiting to bid with him, and the price he gave is low, and Topney will definitely pay for it without hesitation. His life.

Although the wealth of Marquis Topney Hogman’s family is not as good as that of Morrison Caton’s family, it is still easy to spend half of it to buy his life, just in case, at least, to protect himself. Morrison has no choice in this life.

“There is no need to be so extreme. Leave him some share dividend rights and let him continue to manage those properties.”

Tang En waved his hand and said, “Of course, now he is managing our property for us.”

Now he and Alleria’s subordinates There are not enough manpower to take over those assets. It is said that they have been donated. If no one manages them, they will actually be idle. Instead of doing this, it is better to give Morrison some sweetness and hope and let him continue to work for himself.

Morrison Caton can sit in the position of Duke and become Klein’s confidant. He must have his own abilities. This person can still be used.

Of course, Topney Hogman, who endured humiliation for Illrus, also needs to be rewarded.

“Morrison Caton, in the name of the regent of the Illrus Empire, I declare that from now on, you will be deprived of your status as a duke, demoted to an earl, and you will be punished to serve me for life and manage everything in the existing Caton family. Assets, and you can enjoy half of the share dividend rights. The higher the income you create, the more dividends you can receive. At the same time, the subsequent punishment of the Caton family will be determined based on the funds you hand over every year. You can Are you willing?”

“Yes! I am willing! I am very willing to serve you! Your great Majesty Tang En!”

Morrison Caton suddenly heard Tang En’s decision and was ecstatic. He thought he was dead. , even if he didn’t die, he would probably have to spend the rest of his life in a remote village with his wife and children, and he might even have to endure the torture of hunger and cold, but he didn’t expect that Tang En would make such a decision!

The so-called survival from desperate situations is probably what Morrison feels at the moment.

Topney was of course a little unhappy when he saw Morrison’s fate. Years of hostility made him want to kill Morrison now.

Tang En glanced at him, and Topney immediately lowered his head respectfully: “Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not do anything to him without your will.”

“You are very smart.”

Tang En He nodded and said: “Marquis Topney Hogman, you and your family have contributed a lot to the Illrus Empire, so I grant you the title of dukedom as the regent of the Illrus Empire, and at the same time grant you Are you willing to be the Lord of the City of Psalm City?”

Topney Hogman was overjoyed. He knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: “I – I am willing to dedicate everything to His Majesty!”

“Nothing is necessary. .”

Tang En waved his hand: “If you are willing to follow me, I will not treat my own people badly, but if you cheat on others, I will never spare the traitor.” “

In addition, if Topney neglects his duties in any way, Mori Sen, you can also report it to me or Princess Alleria, you know?” The

ecstatic Topney was shocked, and saw Morrison overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed: “I understand!”

The Pope, Iluli and Alleria burst into laughter. Tang En had been on the throne for more than half a year, but his words and deeds still lacked the shadow of a king. He looked very arrogant. It was obviously such a solemn thing, but when he spoke, he looked like he was Like forming a clique…

Twain looked at Topney and said: “I know you are unhappy and I asked Morrison to supervise you, but supervision methods are indispensable.”

Topney hurriedly lowered his head to show his loyalty: “My lord, I dare not, I will definitely work hard to serve His Majesty.”

Tang En said meaningfully: “As for the hatred between you and Morrison, I hope you can put it down. Not only can Morrison supervise you, but also the Caton family will I’ll leave it to you to supervise. Let’s see how Morrison performs in the future. If he doesn’t live up to his expectations, I think your chance of revenge won’t be too far away.”

Morrison felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Tang En was warning him. Suddenly, I felt miserable. I just thought I had some power, but I didn’t expect that it was just to check and balance each other and supervise each other…

“I understand.”

Tang En let Topney understand his intention with one sentence. He must be used as a whip. With him watching from behind, even if Tang En doesn’t care, Morrison doesn’t dare to slack off. He can only work hard, and may even bear the humiliation and bear the burden and come to please him and beg him for help. say good things.

When he thought that his former enemy would soon kneel down in front of him in tears and beg for help, Topney felt extremely happy in his heart.

He suddenly understood something. Sometimes, the best way to deal with an enemy is not to kill him, but to trample him under his feet so that he will never be able to lift his head in front of him!

Topni admired Tang En’s methods. His Majesty Tang En, this is the truly brilliant method. With just a few simple words, he not only regained a useful talent, but also obtained huge asset gains for free. The loyalty of the two was bought, and they also supervise and compete with each other.

And what about himself?

All it takes is a few words!

Sharing interests, checking and balancing each other, supervising each other, this is the art of the emperor!

The art of the emperor?

If Tang En knew what he was thinking, he would definitely sneer at it. If this little trick could be regarded as the art of emperors, then the emperors of China would probably be so angry that they would lift up the coffin boards.
