"Who is your friend, who is your enemy, how to unite your allies, and how to isolate your enemies, if you don’t think about it, it’s hard for most people to choose to follow you. Even if I His Excellency He Merinoson is now willing to be loyal to you, but how can all kinds of people on this land be willing to believe in you? The arrival of the Latins has already changed everything, and the nobles of the past have been crotched by the Franks. The iron hoof and the long spear in hand shattered into pieces, and we can't do everything. The canine-toothed territory has long been like the hearts of the empire can no longer gather. It is not enough to rely on force, but we can only make us believe in you. You can share weal and woe with us."

The much older Count Brunnius spoke directly to the point, and his speech was obviously far better than Merinoson, who acted recklessly, and instantly turned Justinian's strength into invisible.

He did not dislike Justinian, the young man. Rome needed strong vitality to awaken her old and rotten body, but Bunonius knew that without a clever balance technique, it was impossible to drag the empire into a predicament. Yes, he can represent the family's allegiance to a rookie, but the premise is that Justinian can really shoulder the responsibility of rejuvenating the empire. Few people are as obsessed with past glory as the old earl in today’s world of decency. But Bunonius is different. He has seen the dawn of the era, so how can he endure the long night that shrouded the sky before his death. , He was waiting for Justinian's response, and he was also observing whether the Grand Duke Anastasius had chosen the right heir.

There was silence for a while in the hall of the nobility, and the words of Count Bunnonius were indeed sharp. Although Thessaly was not a pivotal military area, it was also the first time Justinian tried to control non-armed conquests, the old count’s. The words are not unreasonable. Merinoson sneered on the side and watched coldly, while Earl Talanit on the other side was waiting quietly.

The lord of Tan Bei was not worried about his new loyal young people, and he was not surprised at what Earl Brunnius said just now, because Justinian already had an answer to this in his heart, which is why The reason why he chose this young man.

The brief silence was not Justinian’s sway, looking at the old earl’s implicit and profound gaze, he chewed the old man’s words in his heart, and finally understood the meaning and grasped the other’s true intentions. "Who is an ally and who is an enemy? This is indeed a good question. Not only I, but the entire empire has to face the vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of the century. Emperor Alexei I will invade Anatolia. The Turks as their primary enemy, the Latins as their allies, while His Majesty John II and the Emperor Manuel regarded the Latins and Italians as a confidant, but ignored the Bolgars and Turks who had risen between their elbows and armpits. People. I sometimes think that when Constantinople was captured four years ago, the chief culprit was really little Alexei colluding with the Latin Crusades, or was the old Alexei emperor ruling mediocre? Why? When the Latin horses trampled on our land, the old Thracian peasants clapped their hands and cheered, and the herdsmen of Peloponnese watched the Venetian navy cross the sea but turned a blind eye. Waiting until the enemy's fire and sword fell. When they were on top of their heads, people began to panic and began to know that they resisted. I believe that everything nowadays is hard to return over the past century. The real enemy is never the outside but the inside. The strongest fortress also collapses from the inside first. I choose my allies, but I will never mistake my enemies for partners."

Justinian's plain words echoed in the hall, Count Merinoson's face changed when he heard it, and Count Bunonius' expression was also slightly strange. Although it was a private negotiation between a few people, Justinian's remarks were really shocking to the world, and in a few words, it was more than just general Thessaly. It was simply that all the remaining nobles in Rome were sentenced to death. No wonder this young man dared to do such a thing in Moria. If he really said so, I'm afraid it was not before he returned to Constantinople. All the old nobles had to be hung on the wall and crucified.

"You are a madman," said the incoherent Earl Merinoson, his voice trembling with fear.

Commenting on this, Justinian said, "If you really want to reverse all of this. The first thing to change is the so-called ideology of sharing weal and woe. We are the nobles of Rome. Or are the nobles of Rome. Is the old paper piled up in the past? There are still things that we need to stick to. I think the answers to these questions are the best medicine to solve the stubborn diseases of our empire. Old Earl Bunonius, I am very grateful for the advice you just gave me, but I can’t agree with them all. . Times will wash away all the rotten things. If we don’t cut off the rotten skin and flesh by ourselves. Then we will become a pile of rotten bones together. What I did in Peloponnese may be cruel, but this The drama has already begun on the land of Rome. It’s just that for you. You will never see and disdain to watch. A generation comes, a generation passes, and the earth stays forever. People. Although it is a passer-by after all, there will be no more Rome without the Romans. How to choose has never been decided by me, but by you. This time I will not force everyone here. After all, the Peloponnese gave My lesson is deep enough. But again, I will not waste my energy here. I have emphasized that Thessaly is not important to me. Although I am in my hands, I am not afraid of being alone. One person, how to make a decision is easy to understand."

After all, Justinian no longer stayed and got up to leave. He believed that if the other party could not understand his ambition, there was no need to talk about it. It was a surprise to have the support of the Talanite family. He himself He didn't expect everyone to understand the path he chose.

And just as Moria's young man was about to step out of the door of the noble hall, there was a soft applause behind him~www.ltnovel.com~Please stay, young man. "Just listen to Count Bunonius looking at Justinian's back and shouting to Justinian, who is about to leave. This time the old man no longer calls Justinian by his honorific title, but he has a clear attitude. Different transformations.

Completely ignoring the look of horror on the side of Count Merinoson, Bunonius left his seat and walked down the steps to Justinian.

And Justinian pretended to be calm and said: "Is there anything, Lord Bunonius?"

Looking closely at the young man in front of him, the old man sighed with emotion: “It’s been too long. I didn’t expect to have a fool like me now. No wonder the Grand Duke Anastasius will choose you as his heir. Look It looks like the one who hasn’t given up on our ideals of the year after so many years. I thought that I had already gone more smoothly and passed away, but the first time I saw you, I had an intuition that you can change our Rome. I, Count Serestrikala, the parents of the Bunonius family are willing to offer you allegiance. Your Royal Highness Justinian!"
