Stefan was indeed cautious enough, but he never expected that the maid in a manor specially arranged to entertain the messenger had long been bribed by Ma Xiu. In the bed, the messenger proudly boasted to the maid that her master had become the minister of Count Brycegao.

"You have actually put eyeliner in Stefan's manor for a long time. I have to say that this is very smart." Rudolph wiped the corner of his mouth with the linen spread on the table, and he said to Maxiu in an admirable tone.

"Thank you for your praise of Lord Regent." Ma Xiu quickly expressed humbly.

"Sterfan has officially been loyal to Count Brycegao, which means they are my enemies." Rudolph frowned slightly. He wanted to send his own army to surround Stefan's manor immediately and tear the traitor who was killed by a thousand swords, but the boss Li Shimin stopped him.

Li Shimin and others were calm and kept calm. If you kill him now, you would not be able to make the crime public. Instead, you would be charged with killing ministers.

Rudolph, I can't extricate my anger!

Don’t panic Li Shimin! Since he has defected to the enemy, he will definitely want to contribute a great gift to his new master. We can give them this opportunity to take this opportunity to force out all the traitors in your palace. Wouldn’t it be even better to solve it in one go?

After hearing Emperor Taizong's words, Rudolf was silent. The enemies hiding in the dark were indeed even more terrifying. It was just how to make them rebel without causing harm to themselves. This is the crux of the problem.

"But what should I do?" Rudolph thought carefully. Although he was still a little clueless, Li Shimin did give him a way of thinking, just like catching a mouse, he had to put enough bait.

When Count Brycegao sent an envoy to declare war on Rudolf, another of his envoys also arrived in Luxembourg on horseback and came to Frederick to report to the powerful monarch.

"Is the petition today finished?" Frederick sat on the throne. He had to deal with one or two things every day. He had many vassals, but he wanted to mediate the conflicts between the vassals and accept petitions from the nobles.

"His Majesty the King, and an envoy from Count Brycecourt requested your reception." At this time, Frederick's court chief hurried forward a few steps and said to Frederick.

"Ha, it's endless. My brother, do you think this throne is good?" Frederick leaned the scepter in his hand against the throne with some fatigue. He rubbed his eyes and turned his head to Henry, the lion sitting on the stone bench among the corridor.

"This is your sacred duty, my Majesty." Lion Henry raised his wine glass and signaled to his monarch.

"He's getting more and more cunning." Frederick smiled. Of course, he could not give up this sacred mission. He just wanted to test the Lion Henry.

"His Majesty the King, your faithful servant, Lord Bryceco, greets you, may the Lord's blessing not leave your side, and may your kingly power be forever." The messenger who came to see Frederick hurriedly walked out from behind the people who were lined up to petition. He had to go through the columns and come to the square courtyard in the middle, where he kneeled down on one knee and gave Frederick a respectful greeting.

"Well, is your master, Count Bryceco, healthy?" Frederick picked up his scepter again, wearing a crown from Rome on his head, and above it was the crown of the Germanic king, and the two crowns represent his respected status.

"Under the blessing of the Lord and your authority, my master, Earl Brycegao, is very healthy. He always desires to offer his loyalty to His Majesty the King." The messenger said with a sensible tongue.

"Then if you have anything to send you here, you won't just come to greet me?" Frederick asked patiently, because he knew that he had to pass through the territory of Earl Bryceco, so he was very polite to the Count's envoy of the Earl of Bryceco.

"Dear King, my master is here to inform you of something." The messenger knelt in the courtyard. He raised his head and placed the other hand on his chest.

"What's up?"

"My master had a dispute with Rudolph, the Regent of Schwartz County. Rudolph, the Regent of Schwartz County, deprived the inheritance of the second son of Earl Schwartz, Ketrisey, and tried to kill him. The poor second son of Earl Schwartz fled to my master's court to request asylum, and sincerely offered his claim to Schwartz County." The messenger said to Frederick.

After the messenger said these words, Frederick didn't say anything for a long time, and the originally noisy courtyard gradually became quiet. Even Henry, the lion, stood up from the stone beard. He frowned and looked at Frederick on the throne, and saw that His Majesty the king's beard was shaking.

"Bold guy, I clearly ordered that the vassals would not allow private wars, but he dared to disobey my orders. Wow~~." Frederick suddenly broke out. The strong king stood up from the throne, grabbed the wine pot in the hand of the wine servant next to him, and pointed it at the messenger who was kneeling in the middle of the courtyard and smashed it over.

"Ah~~." The messenger exclaimed, and he was smashed to death and sat on the ground. He had never expected Frederick's reaction to be so intense.

"Dendon." Frederick took a step and came to the messenger. He stretched out his strong hand, grabbed the collar of the messenger of Brycegaux, and pulled him from the ground.

"Go back and tell your master that he will not allow him to start a private war. If he doesn't listen to me, I will twist his head off myself." Frederick threw the messenger to the ground, then pointed his finger at the tip of the other person's nose and said loudly.

"Yes, yes." The messenger did not expect that Frederick's reaction was so huge. He originally thought that this was just a task to inform the king.

"What a bad guy, it's Schwarz County." The Lion Henry shook his head. Earl Brycegao was too self-righteous. Frederick's plan to conquer Italy. Schwarz County is an important bridgehead. How could it be destroyed and turbulent at this time!

"Huh, abominable bastard." Frederick was trying to get in the robe of the East Frank nobleman, his chest was fluttering violently, but his brows were twisting.

"Will Count Brycecourt obey your order?" The lion Henry walked to Frederick with a wine pot, poured a glass of wine for the king and said to him.

"No, these arrogant bastards will definitely not listen to me." Frederick took the wine glass and shook his head. He knew very well that these counts who had their army and territory could rarely take the orders of the royal family to heart.
