Chapter nine hundred and ninety first dog bites dog

Queen Kenttanka followed Constance II to meet Wang Huili. In addition to being curious about the Tang people from the East, there was another important reason. She came to do something about Marquis Martel. She was worried that Grand Duke Stefan would say something that was unfavorable to her, so she wanted to deliberately find fault.

Kent Tanka raised his eyebrows and his fingers were about to speak when someone heard someone say, "Your Majesty, today I'm asking this Tang Dynasty to come to discuss the corruption of Martial Martel, so let him talk about this matter."

The person who spoke was a man in his 40s, tall, about half a head taller than other Romans, with a long face, short hair, no beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, hooked nose, and powerful without anger. This person is the Grand Duke of Stefan, the commander of the Navy.

After the chat just now, Constance II lost interest in Wang Huili because he was not interested in him, and he nodded.

At this time, the executive justice came out and said, "Report to your Majesty, the judicial officer of Constantinople's Town Hall, that the Mayor Martel embezzled the goods of the Tang Dynasty. Please allow him to state the facts."

Constance II nodded.

The executive justice said to Wang Huili: "Tang Dynasty people, report to Your Majesty truthfully that you embezzle Martel's goods."

Wang Huili was about to speak, but Kent Tanka said, "How can these despicable oriental people believe the words? His conversation just now was full of loopholes. He was obviously not an honest person. How could he attack my Roman officials based on his words?"

Grand Duke Stefan was very dissatisfied with Kent Tanka's interference in the government affairs and wanted to denounce Kent Tanka, but in front of the people of the Tang Dynasty, he did not want to be laughed at. He endured and said: "Report to Your Majesty, this matter is related to the integrity of my Roman Empire officials and the credibility of my Roman Empire among merchants in various countries. This matter must be investigated clearly. This is above the court, and we must follow the rules of the court, please do not express our opinions without any concerns."

Seeing that the Grand Duke Stefan targeted him, Kenttanka immediately said, "Duke Stefan, you are wrong. I did this to safeguard the reputation of my Roman Empire officials, that is, to safeguard the honor of the Roman Empire. I questioned what's wrong with these Eastern merchants who pursue profits and have no integrity?"

Grand Duke Stefan was a little angry, and said, "According to our country's laws, the harem is prohibited from interfering in politics. This is above the court. Please respect Your Highness."

Kenttanka was not a good person. She immediately said, "You are wrong. I am a citizen of the Roman Empire. Citizens have the right to express their opinions. I have not interfered in politics, I just expressed my personal opinion. Is this not possible?"

The Executive Justice and the Grand Duke Stefan are both elders of the Senate. They have a close relationship and consistent interests. They have always been advancing and retreating together. He also said: "His Highness, this is above the court and the place where His Majesty the Emperor handles official duties. As a Roman citizen, please abide by the laws of the Roman Empire."

The Roman general who spoke before was the commander of the army. The army and the navy had always been incompatible. He himself disliked the Grand Duke Stefan, so he helped Kenttanka quarrel with the Grand Duke Stefan. The people in the court were divided into two factions, attacking each other one by one, and the hall was in chaos.

Constance II had a gloomy face, but he did not stop them. Grand Duke Stefan was a veteran of two dynasties. He relied on his qualifications and outstanding military achievements. He did not respect this young emperor very much and often pointed at some court affairs. Therefore, Constance II instigated Queen Kenttanka to attack Grand Duke Stefan.

Seeing the chaos in the court, Wang Huili was at the beginning and was watching the fun, but he suddenly realized the danger. As the saying goes, the city gate will cause fire to harm the fish, and the gods will fight against the little ghosts. He was very worried that in the end, the anger of these guys will be vented on him.

Everyone continued to quarrel in the court. Constance II waved to the palace chief who was standing aside. The palace chief hurriedly walked to him. He whispered a few words to the palace chief. The palace chief nodded and bowed down. Soon he came to the Grand Duke Stefan and whispered to him. Grand Duke Stefan looked ugly. He looked at Queen Kenttanka, then looked at Wang Huili, and nodded slowly.

The court chief walked up to the executive justice again and whispered to him a few words. The executive justice looked at Grand Duke Stefan. Grand Duke Stefan nodded to him, so he nodded to the chief minister and agreed with his opinion.

According to the etiquette of the Roman court, Wang Huili could not look up. Therefore, he did not see the little movements of Constance II and others. He heard Grand Duke Stefan and others shut up first, and then Kenttanka was silent, and the hall was quiet.

Constance II said: "Empress Kenttanka is right. I believe that the officials of my Roman Empire are honest and dedicated, and will never do anything to annex the property of the Tang Dynasty for no reason. Merchants from the East evade taxes and violate the laws of my Roman Empire and must be severely punished." He asked: "Executive Justice, how do you think you should deal with this person?"

The executive justice said: "The Tang Dynasty merchants' tax evasion and evasion in taxes are serious and must be severely punished. After the investigation of this matter is over, the person will be escorted to the market for public public and hanged to deter all illegal businessmen."

Why did it suddenly become like this? In the Roman court, officials argued and even attacked each other because of different opinions. This was normal, but Constance II did not want the Tang Dynasty to publicize the scene he saw outside, or even abroad, affecting the image of the rulers of the empire at home and international levels.

At this moment, Constance II had already made up his mind to kill Wang Huili and decided to execute Wang Huili. He asked the court chief to tell the Grand Duke Stefan that they could discuss and resolve the matter about Marquis Martel in private and not talk in front of the Tang Dynasty. In order to maintain the face of the court, Grand Duke Stefan agreed with Constance II's opinion.

Although Wang Huili had a bad premonition, he did not expect such a result. He raised his head and said angrily: "You despicable Romans, what a bullshit, the Holy Roman Empire, are purely shameless robbers. You ignorant people don't know how powerful my great power in the East is, and you are destined to pay a heavy price for your stupid behavior."
