Oppositions continue to come and go. Although Mikhail Dukas already possesses great power, the court of Epirus still has the style of a senate. The ministers under the seat can express their opinions at will, although in the end The decision-making power is still in the hands of this man, but balancing the interests of various factions is not easy.

Mikhail's courtiers were all waiting for their emperor to make a decision-before that, all they had to do was to turn their opponents speechless like a Greek orator.

Suddenly, the controversy in the court fell into a deadlock, which reminded Mikhail Dukas of Constantinople that year. It was for all these reasons that the intrigue of all parties caused them to lose the empire. , And now the stinky disease in Constantinople has also spread here. This is probably the curse of power! Mikhail laughed at himself. He had already made a decision, but was still waiting for the opportunity. Mikhail watched quietly as the vassals below spread out their tongues and swords before each other.

"The mobs of Nicaea are not the key. The real threat to us now is the southern rebels. We must pacify the Southern Military District to be able to support the next war. Please take a look at the newsletter ahead, adults! Instead of being so lofty, It’s better to care more about your own eyes. Even if we take Thessaloniki and integrate the southern rebels, how could they be willing to take Constantinople. The real threat lies between our elbows and arms, adults. !" The civil servants and nobles said bitterly. They warned of the importance of the Southern Military Region more than once, but the rejoicing military nobles completely regarded their words as deaf ears.

These words aroused the disdain of the military aristocrats, and the headed general sneered disdainfully: "Huh, this is simply a cowardly statement! As long as Emperor Muzfius is still in our hands, His Majesty Mikhail is still an empire. The co-government emperor, what storms can the hillbillies of the South set off, while the Bolgars can only rely on their weak czar, the Lascaris family of Nicaea is weak, we must completely take down the entire Macedonia and sever Constantine The Latins of Fort think very much. Your weakness will only ruin your Majesty’s chance to ascend the Purple Throne!

Looking at them who are determined to send troops to Thessaloniki, they don't think that things in the south are imminent. The civilians and nobles have only deep helplessness. Can only turn to Emperor Mikhail for help. The headed official said: "Your Majesty. Please consider it deeply. Nicaea just wants to use our hands to deal with the Latins. If we take Thessaloniki, it will definitely become a target. By that time Bulgaria, Serbia, even Genoese, and Venetians will see us as thorns and thorns in the flesh. Now Epirus is only suitable for keeping a low profile. It is too early to enter Constantinople."

"It's nonsense, now it's clearly an excellent opportunity for us to march! Anything to hide our power and bide our time is clearly an excuse for weakness."

"Even weak is better than the reckless and reckless actions of you people. It is your stupidity that really obstructs your majesty's great cause." The enraged civil servants and nobles sneered at each other.

The noise between the two parties is getting louder and louder, no one is willing to give in to each other, and the offensiveness in the words is getting stronger and stronger. Watching this scene, Mikhail Dukas also frowned slightly.

This contradiction has been around for a long time. Since he came to Epirus from Constantinople, the Pronian cronies around him have been in constant friction with the local nobles. The reason is very simple. The Proonias are eager to make contributions, and naturally absorb their wealth in Macedonia and Thrace, and want to fight back to Constantinople, but the civilians are the local forces of Epirus. The style is more conservative. The only thing Mikhail Dukas can do is to balance the two sides and be as impartial as possible. Mikhail could neither directly support the Plogna nobles nor express his approval of the civilian officials' plan. Mikhail, who has not expressed his position for a long time, is actually waiting for someone to arrive.

At this moment, the gate of the palace was slowly pushed open, and Emperor Mikhail's imperial messenger hurried over at this time. "Your Majesty, the Venetian messenger has arrived."

There was no sound in the palace, and the two nobles who were still arguing became dumb at the same time, and their eyes gathered on the Emperor Mikhail in front of them.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

When the face of the nobles below showed confusion, as the king’s confidant, the **** behind the throne, walked down to the very center of the palace, and said: "If possible, your majesty would like to see the ministers first meet Venice. The messenger from there, maybe it would be better to make a decision like this."

"The Venetian messenger?!" The exclamation sounded in the palace, and for a while, many people seemed very shocked! They had no idea that the majesty in front of them would invite them here.

If after 1204, the most hated person of the Romans besides the Latins is naturally the hateful Venetians. These marketers living in the lagoon are their worst enemy. When their messengers arrived here, all the ministers in charge of Epirus before them did not know anything about it. This is incredible!

However, Emperor Mikhail seemed very calm, obviously he knew about this before, and he was already prepared.

"Your Majesty, can you explain this matter?"

Facing the courtier's questioning, Mikhail appeared very calm, and it seemed that he was already prepared.

"Is it necessary? I remember ~www.ltnovel.com~ Our country has not broken diplomatic relations with the Republic of Venice, so I don't think it is necessary at all." Mikhail Dukas took it lightly, as he said, despite the monarch The breach of Tantinburg was planned by the Venetians, but the two countries did not break off diplomatic relations, so in theory, there is nothing wrong with the visit of its envoys.

"But--" The ministers who were dissatisfied still wanted to say something, but the **** in the center of the court clapped his hands and said:

"Mr. Zhu, I think it doesn't seem to be in line with the etiquette to receive our guests in such a noisy manner. I wonder if we can temporarily stop the discussion? I think the noisy appearance here is something that your Majesty does not want to see."

And Mikhail Dukas also made a gesture, and said with dignity and solemnity: "Quiet!"

At the same time, the gate of the palace was also opened, and only the person they wanted to see—the Venetian messenger had been waiting outside the gate for a long time.
