Chapter 44: Caesar's to Caesar II

() "That's enough. Loyalty and love are the same thing. It's useless to talk about it. It has to be done. Now I'm telling you to shut up!"

Turning around, my brother Alexander held his forehead and stopped looking at me. The two guards stared at the ceiling. Damn it, they don't agree with the universal truth that love is made? Let's debate this serious topic with them when we have time.



He walked out of the door and said to Constans: "Go and bring the leading priest over to me."

The latter really did as I said, grabbing the priest by the collar and dragging him over... Brother, have you let Maurice possess you?

"What? What's that expression on your face? Did I not do the right thing?" Constans was innocent.

I dare say that this guy did it on purpose.

It was not difficult to interrogate the priest. If he gave him a little scare, he found out that it was the assistant vice-dean who told him to fix those nobles properly.

The whole thing now has a general background. The nobleman who was offended by Frederick during a jealousy happened to know that the literary girls had written a story about me, so he told his companions about his desire for revenge, and he

His companions came up with the idea of ​​​​killing Frederick by checking his identity. Then the nobleman found the powerful person in the church, the vice-president of the Holy Spirit Sanctuary. In retrospect, Frederick should have been in the old Duke’s house.

I annoyed the other party at the concert, which meant that the church people did this while I was working for my cousin.

Alexander and I came out of the room and stood at the door of the main building. The guards inside closed the door for us.

Alexander smiled and said: "I also said how could the church be so bold? If they just wanted to swear that they would regain their authority as a stepping stone, they would never find trouble with the nobles on our side. But that book, for them

It's not an ordinary book."

"Just because it keeps knocking me down, does this book have the meaning of rebellion and exposes its ambition to overthrow the rule of the Theofano family?" I stuck the dagger in the corridor with disdain. Damn it, I was being used.

Alexander pulled out the dagger, touched the gap in the wall, and said in a deep voice: "But my brother, you also said that the Satan in that book, the Satan who is constantly being defeated, is you! You are the one who keeps defeating him.

The Ofano family! The majesty of the Theofano family cannot be challenged!"

The tone was cold and there was no doubt that Alexander clearly had murderous intentions.

I was suddenly startled and frowned: "So, is it right for the church people to directly bring people here to look for people without passing by us? I won't talk about the seizure of the **, then they will take action against the nobles.

Where are the feet! Is this right? Afterwards, instead of condemning the church, we praised them? Praising them for what they did right? You know, that book is just a tool for them to ask for credit! They don’t care.

Does the person who wrote the book have any intention of rebellion?"

"Although the church has gone too far, as a suitable dog, it is not a big mistake." Alexander said calmly, and I interrupted him rudely, "What are you doing?

I don’t understand, the church is using us as a weapon! Today we have acquiesced in their actions, what will other people think? Even our own members of the Theophano family dare to touch us, the church is going to raise its head again!!!

"

"I know!" Alexander said coldly.

"Then you..." This time it was my turn to be interrupted.

"You should go and see how you are arranged in that book! Slander, satire, slander, and extreme ridicule! Everyone has to pay the price!"

Alexander's somewhat distorted face was very abnormal. I was almost frightened by such anger. After being stunned for a moment, I seemed to find a reason. I thought that Frederick might have had a lot of influence in that book. You know

, I have experienced that guy’s mouth. A harmless royal family like me can surpass Emperor Sui Yang and stand shoulder to shoulder with Qin Shihuang with this guy. You can imagine how much dirt was poured on him in the book.

"calm down!"

"Those noble ladies who are just waiting to die insult you like this! How can you tell me to calm down!"

"I was at fault in the whole thing. Besides, in my eyes, they and those noble ladies are just a group of naive little girls. I don't care at all about the pranks they pull."

"So they can insult you?! Do they still consider us as a royal family in their eyes?"

"Then you can kill them all?"

"You are my brother! The only brother in this life!!! Damn it, he offended me, I will kill both of you!"

I was dizzy, even the old scumbag's foul language came out... When I heard that Alexander was so angry that he even scolded Jesus' mother, I almost remembered that he is a native of this world. He doesn't have a mature soul like me since I was a child.

The Theofano family instilled in him a sense of honor, and he accepted it without hesitation. So in my opinion, I was at fault first, and I can't blame others. But in his eyes, the matter has risen to the level of personal honor and disgrace and even the family.

The degree of honor and disgrace. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Isn't there a saying in the past that scholars can be killed but not humiliated. The honor of nobles cannot be insulted, especially the royal family.

"Thank you." I smiled faintly, "But you also said before, Theofano is us, and we are Theofano. So these words are just words, do you want to betray everyone!

"

"Okay!" After Alexander finished speaking, he punched the wall with his fist and muttered in a low voice, "Sometimes it's so tiring to live."

I then discussed the countermeasures between the two of us.

Nobles, it’s okay to scare them. After all, organizing the royal family is a big or small matter. The same is true for plotting a deliberate rebellion. Therefore, the nobles must realize that they are in danger. Those with high titles and close friends with us

, we want to make them panic, make them mistakenly think that they are very likely to lose favor and be jealous, and make them fearful of insignificant people with low titles, afraid of being dragged out to behead or hanged, and they will think of it again later.

Everything in the stall will give you nightmares.

As for the church, not only do those self-assertive guys have to be replaced, but they also have to be beaten!

This is the principle!

But we lack an excuse to attack!

Thinking of Frederick, I suddenly had a good idea: "Let's act separately. You go tell the cheap dad about what's going on here, and arrest the few nobles who caused this thing. I rushed to the church, and at a certain

Please help this troublemaker before he is killed."

Alexander took a few steps, and I suddenly stopped him: "What are you going to do with those noble ladies?"

"Send them home, of course!" Alexander sneered.

Thinking of the slap on the artistic girl's face, I was speechless for a while. Alexander hadn't given up the idea of ​​​​teaching them a lesson! At this juncture, it would be strange if their fathers didn't beat them to death if they were sent home as troublemakers!

Said: "Put them together, um, put them under house arrest. In addition to not being able to come and go freely, people can see them, but they can't be alone!"

Alexander turned back and stood at the bottom of the steps, staring at me: "Reason."

"Love and fear coexist with each other. If you have to choose one, the latter is more appropriate. But fear will only make people less likely to betray. Love will make people continue to be loyal. But, sometimes,

Fear can easily turn into hatred, which can give people the motivation to betray. Also, don’t forget..." I took a few steps closer to Alexander and glanced lewdly at Constans who was preparing the horses for us, "Maybe

Maybe there will be a few of them in public who will become the future wives of our friends."

"Okay, it's up to you! However, remember to leave the final decision on the church to our father," Alexander instructed.

I found the leader sent by the church to fight against the autumn storm and asked about the whereabouts of the arrested prisoners. It turned out that Frederick and Hans were indeed taken to the underground cages in the Holy Spirit Church in the outer city wall area. That place is a few meters away from the university area.

After an hour's journey, after interrogating the two criminals, I should be able to get there before Frederick suffered too much physical pain.

Out of caution, Alexander left with five guards. I asked Constans to leave with Alexander and bring at least one centurion guard. After making these arrangements, I explained to the captain of the guard who came this time.

The order to place those noble ladies under house arrest. The latter was an old man from our Theophano family. Although he had a grimace on his face, he still nodded firmly.

Taking five guards with me, I started to rush towards the Holy Spirit Sanctuary of the church.

Passing by the Holy Spirit Church, I was more discerning and asked some vendors on the roadside about the strange things they had seen. The man escorting Frederick had passed by here two meals ago.

During the two meals, I swallowed and wiped my head. When did the church people do things so quickly... It took about more than two hours! Could it be that they flew from the inner city wall area to the outside in a blink of an eye?

City Wall District?! No matter, now is not the time to study this. In two hours, a bite of live pig can be made into barbecued pork buns, let alone a big living person!

"You stay here, go to the back door, hide yourself, and pay attention to whoever comes in and out of the courtyard there!"

"Load the flintlock pistol! Rush in with me later!"

I gritted my teeth and pulled out two flintlock pistols from the weapon belt beside the saddle. Several guards looked at me, then looked at the high walls and church of the Holy Spirit in the distance, and immediately started loading bullets and bullets into the flintlock pistols.

gunpowder.

Seeing that everyone was ready, I shouted: "Constans will arrive soon with his people, but now we must rush in to save one person, that is a German noble! Forgive me for the important strategy of the empire.
Chapter completed!
