"Are you sure that's what that person said?"

Carmen knew without thinking that if he could ask his second son Jasper to bring someone back and go directly to the government office without informing him first, this person was definitely a high-ranking person.

In today's troubled times, the owners of most cities are marquises, and a few who rule multiple cities are dukes. The princes are all high-ranking and powerful people. There is essentially no difference.

Therefore, even if the Duke came to Garden City, he would not say these words as long as he did not want to disgust him or came specifically to target Garden City.

Carmen believed that he had not offended anyone in all these years, and his relationship with the various princes was not good, but not bad either. There was no reason why any marquis or even duke would come to Garden City to raise an army to question him.

Then, the only people who will appear here are those with a higher status than the princes. Looking at the Shurima continent today, people with that status in name are the last princess of the Jin royal family, and the

Emperor Sima Yi came back from the dead.

The princess is still young, so the person who comes here must be Emperor Sima Yi.

"It's true, Lord Marquis, if he humiliates you like this, why don't you do it to me?"

The guard spoke unabashedly,

"The worst thing is, when others ask, you just hand me over."

The guard's thoughts are so simple. Although life in Garden City is not good, it cannot be blamed on the Marquis. Garden City is not a suitable place to live. People today don't know the reason why the city was built here.

.

Anyway, the guards knew very well how respectable their Marquis was. He not only remembered the names of most of their Garden City soldiers, but also their families, and would even send them to their wives when they gave birth and when their children got married.

Last gift and a few days off.

How could any of those high-ranking nobles care about them like this?

"You...don't let anyone know what you said. It's okay to say it here. If you say such things in front of outsiders, I can't save you. The person in the government hall is Emperor Sima Yi."

Carmen wanted to call the guard a fool, but he looked like he was willing to die for him. Carmen really couldn't. However, if one guard thinks and says this, then more soldiers may think so.

.

Although he has been telling his soldiers not to get excited no matter what others say, and not to think about trying to save him face, as his own life is at stake, there are still soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness, and he cannot stop this kind of thing at all.

However, this time, they did not insult him. They were truly qualified to let him go to the government office, even though this was his city, not the city of Emperor Sima Yi.

"Emperor Sima Yi? Emperor Sima Yi! Oh my God, I actually have thoughts about that kind of people that I shouldn't have. Will this involve you?"

Even if the guards respect Carmen, they don't think that Carmen is greater than the legendary Emperor Sima Yi. If Emperor Sima Yi had not ended the old system, human beings might not be able to own so much land now, and they, the common people, just don't have it.

Slave of personal rights.

"As long as you don't really take action, you won't implicate me. Go down."

After Carmen gave her instructions, she asked the guard to go down. These guards had their own channels to pass news between themselves, as well as between the guards and the soldiers.

and methods.

Carmen knew that at this moment, many soldiers and guards knew that someone in the government hall had insulted him. If he did not tell the guard the truth and let the guard pass the news on, one or two of those soldiers might actually attack Emperor Sima Yi.

"righteous".

Carmen calls these people "righteous men", but he really doesn't need these people to be righteous men. All he wants is for these people to maintain his rule well and prevent their family from being overthrown by the people. After all, the situation in Garden City is too special. If

If there is a mutiny, the princes in other cities may not be able to receive the news.

By the time the support from those nobles came to clear out the rebellious lowly commoners, the Adams family would have been dead long ago.

This is not because Carmen wants to be nice to these soldiers, but he has to do this so that his family can stay in Garden City and not be rejected by the local people.

In fact, the Adams family has relied on this method for eighteen hundred years. The grandfather's generation used this method, the father's generation did not use it, and then their own generation continued to use it.

Even if it is a good method, if it continues to be used, those people will find problems.

However, if this method is used across generations, the people of the generation that is not using it can still remember the good things of the previous generation and work honestly. When the people have other ideas, the next generation will take over and continue.

It's great to implement this method, and the Marquis is like a saint. Do the people need to rebel?

"My subordinates know."

The guards hurriedly withdrew and passed the news to the nearest guards who were resting, asking them to help deliver the news.

That person was Emperor Sima Yi, the future owner of Garden City and their future monarch. If soldiers rushed to assassinate him, would Emperor Sima Yi be merciful and spare them?

This is not the key point. When those soldiers who wanted to defend the dignity of Marquis Carmen took action, they did not think about living. However, the target of their assassination was Emperor Sima Yi, and they were bound to fail. After the failure, Emperor Sima Yi would not liquidate Carmen.

Marquis?

Whether it was for themselves or for their Marquis Carmen, they could not assassinate Emperor Sima Yi.

"Brother Carmen, can I go with you to see Emperor Sima Yi?"

Copperfield never thought that the surprise would come so suddenly. Although Carmen had promised him before that she would take Jasper with her the next time he went to the City of the Sun, but who knew if there would be some unexpected situations?

Woolen cloth?

He didn't make it last time. Wasn't it because something unexpected happened?

"This...Marquis Copperfield, we don't know what kind of temper Emperor Sima Yi is. If he goes over without announcing your presence, I'm afraid it will annoy His Majesty."

Carmen didn't mind Copperfield going to see Balliard, but she couldn't go with him to see Balliard.

He, the Marquis Carmen, must be a solitary man on the fence. He has always been wavering, but in the end he chose the master he wanted to surrender to.

He had to maintain his purity and not let the emperor know that he had too many connections with other princes. In this way, he could live in peace and contentment without worrying that some marquis would be thrown into jail one day.

"...Indeed, we today can only know the emperor's temper from historical data, but the historical data is not complete and not entirely true. In this case, would you be willing to introduce me to Your Majesty?"

Copperfield did not embarrass Carmen. After all, what Carmen said did make sense. He was a king, the first emperor of the Shurima continent, and the founding emperor of the Jin Kingdom. Now he has returned to the world with the intention of bringing order to the chaos. They

What kind of existence do nobles appear to His Majesty?

It would be better if the emperor had no opinion on the nobles. If the emperor felt that the reason why the Jin Dynasty became what it is today, it is indispensable for them, the nobles, to plot behind the scenes. Then, if Copperfield rashly went to meet Emperor Sima Yi, he might really risk his own life.

Stay there.

Even so, Copperfield still hopes to meet Emperor Sima Yi through formal channels and with the emperor's permission. After all, he wants to return to Nerimajie. If he wants revenge, he cannot rely on the strength of others.

No way.

"If His Majesty is a kind man, I would like to introduce him to you, but if His Majesty is... in that case, I will be helpless. I need to change my clothes as soon as possible to see Your Majesty, so I will stop gossiping with you."

Carmen said it nicely, but in her heart she planned to put aside the Copperfield matter. It would not be difficult to introduce Copperfield to Emperor Sima Yi, but this matter was very dangerous.

Copperfield was arrogant, self-willed, and overestimated his abilities. He introduced such a person to Emperor Sima Yi. Whatever Copperfield committed in the future would inevitably involve him, because he was the introducer.

.

Even if Emperor Sima Yi needs to take down Nerimajie and may need to use Copperfield, Carmen will not say it herself. Instead, she will arrange for someone to talk about Copperfield near Emperor Sima Yi and let Sima Yi let Copperfield be used.

Meet Phil.

Copperfield will not know what these things are like, but he will definitely keep a favor in his heart. In the future, Carmen and the Adams family will not have to worry about being implicated in Copperfield's misfortune, which is the best of both worlds.

"Yes, yes, it is important to meet His Majesty, so I will leave first."

Copperfield can't stay here for too long. The master is about to leave, so how can he, a guest, stay in the master's yard? It's easy for others to gossip, and if something happens,

That would offend people.

Although Carmen seems to be a good person who doesn't get angry easily, what if someone can't help it? Not everyone can tolerate the green grassland above their heads.

In addition, Carmen's wife does still have a lingering charm. If he stays here after Carmen leaves, there will naturally be someone in this family to receive him. This person will most likely be Carmen's wife.

"Butler, give Marquis Copperfield a ride for me."

Carmen had done her best before entering the house. She wanted Copperfield to remember him because although Copperfield was prone to causing trouble, he was still a capable nobleman and could still accomplish something.

of.

Carmen does not expect Copperfield to support the Adams family much after he becomes powerful. He only hopes that when the Adams family is in trouble in the future, Copperfield can say a few words for the Adams family.

The sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortune and fortune. Who can see clearly such things as fate?

Although Carmen will not offend others, it does not mean that his eldest son and his second son will not offend others. It does not mean that the soldiers who respect him and worship him will not offend others for his sake. In short, if you can avoid offending others, you will not offend others.
