Chapter 947: Drunkard

"I think back then, the current His Majesty the King was only a prince. During an outing, other princes colluded with outsiders and killed all the members of the royal guard next to the prince and then kidnapped him."
"At that time, your grandfather was the captain of the Royal Guard, just like your father. He was not to be blamed for this. After all, all the members of the Royal Guard have tried their best to serve the country. But your grandfather is not like that. Think, that is the prince, even if he dies, he must protect a well-rounded object."
"Your grandfather followed the investigation with 13 guards all the way, and finally found the position of the prince. When they secretly rescued, they did not expect to be discovered by the other party. The result... alas!" The elder couldn't help sighing. Scream.
"Then why doesn't he send someone to find a large army to rescue him, so he has to do it by himself? As the military minister, you can't just ignore it, right?" Li Zhenbang frowned.
It stands to reason that since the person has been found, it should be followed secretly, and at the same time, send someone to find a large force to rescue. At that time, the elder was already the head of the military department, so it shouldn't be a problem to dispatch troops.
"He has no reinforcements at all, and it is impossible to have reinforcements." The elder shook his head.
"Why?" Li Zhenbang looked at the elder in surprise, "Could it be... has already left the border of the Carlo Empire?"
The Grand Elder nodded, gritted his teeth and said: "It is already within the territory of Fredham City. If you send soldiers to rescue you, you will be mistaken for trying to start a war."
Li Zhenbang did not speak any more. Although the Great Elder was not the Minister of the Military, he was also qualified to send a group of powerful soldiers to rescue.
Knowing that the crown prince of the Carlo Empire was arrested at that time, it was equivalent to slapping the Carlo Empire in the face. The great elder was now gritted his teeth with anger, not to mention back then, but he still resisted not sending troops. The gap between the Karo Empire and Fredham City should still be quite large.
A weak country has no diplomacy, and its national strength is not good. It has no say in the face of a strong enemy. It can do nothing but forbearance.
"In the end, although your grandfather rescued the prince back safely, all the 13 guards who followed him stayed there, and your grandfather was also seriously injured. Although your grandfather has recovered a bit later, it is difficult to make progress. In the end, the old wounds relapsed and they died.
The voice of the great elder was full of helplessness.
"If your grandfather is not dead, he will definitely become the youngest holy warrior in our family. Unfortunately, your grandfather's vow of loyalty to the royal family and the glory of the family..."
"When your majesty became the throne, your grandfather was no longer there. In order to commend your grandfather's achievements, your majesty bestowed the gold medal on the family, which represents the supreme honor."
"His Majesty the King even made the princess betrothed to your father. Even when the princess did not give birth to a boy and was unable to inherit the heirs for your grandfather, his Majesty allowed your father to marry another house. You know, this is an unprecedented thing. It’s never happened before!"
"To be honest, when I was young, I felt that what your grandfather did was not worth it. If your father becomes a holy warrior, he will definitely bring more glory to the family and give the family a more noble position in the Carlo Empire. But Now I know that your grandfather is doing the right thing, and he is the person with great wisdom. He used his own future in exchange for the future of the family." The elder's eyes became extremely deep.
"If he becomes a holy warrior, then our Red Maple Leaf Family is definitely not just an earl's mansion!" Li Zhenbang disapproved of grandfather Li Zhantian's choice.
He always felt that his grandfather Li Zhantian was for the sake of life, and if he was really thinking about the family, he should maximize his interests.
Although he has never seen Li Zhantian, he can know something from his family. Li Zhantian is definitely a rare genius in the family in a century. Even if he is called the genius of the Carlo Empire, he does nothing. Over.
Think about it, too, there can be many golden warriors in their thirties, but half-sages in their thirties are rare. There are not many such people in the history of the entire continent. They are all famous people in the end, as long as they grow up , In all likelihood, they are demigods.
"Bastard!" The elder slapped the table fiercely, and the already somewhat dilapidated table was finally overwhelmed and fell apart with a bang.
"What do you know? A family with a saint-level powerhouse can certainly enhance the family's status in the empire, but his family is also far away from the core of the empire!" The elder looked at Li Zhenbang with a hatred of iron and steel. .
"Away from the core of the empire? Why? It shouldn't be a good thing for the family to have a saint-level powerhouse?" Li Zhenbang looked at the great elder in confusion, he really couldn't understand the reason.
"Think about it for yourself, the big families in our empire that have Saint-level powerhouses, apart from those Saint-level powerhouses who have certain rights, which one of their clan has real power? It sounds like a good name. This duke’s mansion, that duke’s mansion, but what does their family do?" The elder shook his head with a cane on his back and his hands.
Li Zhenbang thought for a moment, and it was true as the elder said, as long as there are holy powers in the family, the family members may not worry about food and drink, but they have no real power.
If the people in their clan are all wine sacs and rice sacs, and there are no outstanding people, there are still some recognized capable ministers in some families, but they are just preachers with the ability to advise.
"Why? With the support of the Saint-level powerhouse, the stronger the empire will be. It stands to reason that the family of the Saint-level powerhouse should receive more preferential treatment?" Li Zhenbang asked the doubt in his heart.
"It's right to receive preferential treatment, but it won't get bigger and bigger. The Saint-level powerhouse already has absolute strength. If his family has real power again, it will be a huge threat to the imperial power. Not to mention it. He may become a demigod, and that is a potential threat to the empire."
"Think about it, if someone from the Saint-level powerhouse family violates the law, should your majesty handle it impartially or do you look at the Saint-level powerhouse for personal gain? Once it is handled impartially, it will definitely hurt the face of the Saint-level powerhouse. If you don't deal with it impartially, it will chill other people's hearts. The family of the Saint-level powerhouse is so difficult to deal with, how should the family of the demigod deal with it?"
"The Saint-level powerhouse is a double-edged sword. If you control it well, it will deter the power of other countries. If you don't control it, it is very likely that you will hurt yourself." The elder said earnestly.
"Is it a sin for the family to have a Saint-level powerhouse?" Li Zhenbang stared at the Grand Elder with his eyes widened. It was really hard for him to agree with the views of the Grand Elder.
"It is certainly not a sin to have a Saint-level powerhouse, but how many Saint-level powerhouses dare to sacrifice themselves to complete the family?" The voice of the great elder rose a little, obviously his heart is very unstable.
"Although our family does not have a Saint-level powerhouse, how many of the Saint-level powerhouses dare to challenge our family in the Carlo Empire? All this is the credit of your grandfather Li Zhantian, who sacrificed his future and even his life. The family exchanged it." The elder carefully took the gold medal from the bookshelf and handed it to Li Zhenbang.
"Let's take a good look. This is the honor and family status that your grandfather earned for betting on the future and his life!" The elder's voice was a little trembling, and his eyes were a little red.
"Our family will always be the King of the Carlo Empire, and the King of the Carlo Empire. Not to mention other people, it is my life. As long as the King feels the need, he can take it away at any time!" The Great Elder almost shouted.
Li Zhenbang couldn't help but carefully looked at the gold medal. There were only eight characters on the gold medal, "Acting the fate of heaven and glory forever."
It was for this piece of pure gold to create the gold medal and these eight words. Grandpa Li Zhantian gave up the opportunity to become a holy power or even a demigod. Is it worth it?
"Zhenbang, do you want to understand?" Seeing Li Zhenbang's thoughtful look, the elder continued to ask.
"What do you want to understand?" Li Zhenbang looked at the elder blankly.
Where did the elder know that Li Zhenbang's thoughts were not because he wanted to dedicate everything to the family, but because he was thinking about whether it was worth it.
Seeing Li Zhenbang's appearance, the elder was so angry that he almost lost his breath. After talking with him for a long time, even he was moved in a mess, but Li Zhenbang didn't listen to anything!
"You...you..." The great elder trembled angrily, raised his hand, and pointed at Li Zhenbang. You didn't say anything after you for a long time.
"Cough...cough..." The great elder coughed vigorously a few times before easing his breath.
"Li Zhenbang, I'm not going around with you anymore, just say, how are you going to give an explanation to your majesty and an explanation to the family?" The elder took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind and try to keep calm.
"What is there to explain? I am a summoned beast mage, not a necromancer. What is summoned is not determined by me, but determined by the summoned beast magic god. I have no opinion on the summoned beast magic god. Why does the King have an opinion? ?" Li Zhenbang frowned and looked at the elder.
How could Li Zhenbang not know that the elder said to him such a lot of intentions, but he hoped that I would follow my grandfather and be a person who sacrificed myself and benefited the country and family. But unfortunately, I can’t do it myself,
I have some good feelings for this family, but I have not yet reached the point where I can sacrifice everything. He can understand everything the family has done to him, but it doesn't mean he can be indifferent.
The honor and benefits of the family are really incomparable with their contracted summoned beasts. Although the blood of the Red Maple Leaf family is kept in his body, it is not the family that can communicate with his own heart and willingly die for himself... …
