Chapter 46 Sleepless Nights (2) (during the six-frequency period, leave a message)(1/2)
"Vatir, did Morfan appear tonight?" The emperor's eyes stared at the fire, and the flames hit the shadow of his eyebrows on his forehead, like a beating black flame.
"Our people have been monitoring around Yinlu Hotel and have not seen anyone."
"Where are the three of them?"
"I have been at Yinlu Hotel and haven't left."
Enhill took a long breath, as if suppressing his inner anger.
"Gelot..." The emperor's voice was cold, but he was filled with anger that could not be concealed.
That bastard witch hunter ruined everything!
As the emperor, how could he hand over the power he had built?
So he used the cover of war to hire the white wolf to find Xiri, allowing his bloodline to continue to rule Nifgad, and continue his Enris dynasty.
As long as he could find Xiri, he could stabilize the hearts of the royalists and then naturally depose Morfan.
But that damn witch hunter made the noise too much and directly exposed the top secret operation.
As expected, the nobles did not sit still and waited for death and began to put pressure on him.
He could only promise to make Morfan become the husband of Xiri and to become the crown prince of the Empress of Xiri.
But the nobles are not satisfied yet, who can give up the throne he won at will?
As a last resort, Enshire appointed Moerfan as commander of the Alba Division.
The two sides reached a balance again and returned to the game.
At the end of the game...
Geralt lost Cili!
His own plan also went bankrupt with Xiri's disappearance.
But Moerfan is now full of military achievements, and without Xili, the emperor's throne will sooner or later be Moerfan's.
He had already accepted the result.
After all, the achievements of unifying the north and the south have also made his own prestige at its peak. As long as he does not break up with the nobles, the delicate balance can be maintained until the day he dies.
As for the funeral after death, you may not have to care so much.
But this inexplicable "Mage" suddenly appeared and told people everywhere that they wanted to find Xili, but they couldn't even hide it.
Thinking of this, Enhill sighed deeply.
"Molfan should have wiped out the Redania rebels on the front line, right?"
"It is indeed..." Vatir replied, but his voice became smaller and smaller: "He said that he had handed over the army to his deputy general to continue commanding and would not affect the military plan."
But the emperor's breathing became heavier.
Although Morfan had his own excuse, this kind of unauthorized action was definitely a contempt for the emperor's orders.
He is blatantly breaking away from the control of imperial power.

"Molfan Furis is not only the crown prince of Nifgad, but the Duke of the Empire..." Yennaf simply put down the comb in his hand: "It is also the general of the Imperial Alba Division, one of the commanders of the Third Northern War."
Geralt sat up from the bed: "It is normal for the crown prince to be dissatisfied with his feelings, but he cannot fight against the emperor anyway."
Although the witch hunter has no idea about politics, he has rich experience, has seen too many things, and has known countless people.
Although the Alba Division under Moerfan is an elite imperial force, it is only a division under the Nifgaard Central Army.
Morfan's immediate superior, commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, Hawat Mohan, was a standard royalist.
"How could he compete with Enhill?"
The black-haired sorcerer shook his head: "It's not that simple. What Ehil fears is the power behind Morfan."
Yennefa began to briefly describe a secret history of Nifgaard:
"As far as I know, Morfan's father, also the president of the Nifgad Chamber of Commerce, Prince Furis, was involved in a coup that subverted Enhill's rule. However, Enhill cracked the conspiracy and captured all the conspiring nobles in one place..."
"You know Enhill's style, everyone's head was beheaded except..."
The sorcerer picked up a beautiful crystal perfume bottle from the table in front of him:
"The Furis family."
"Ah?" Geralt's dead face showed a look of surprise.
You should know that when Enhill is unhappy, he will be beheaded if he appears in front of him.
Yennefa sprayed perfume on his body, and the smell of lilac and currants filled the entire room:
"Yes, they were unscathed. Not only that, Morfan Furis also soared and became a celebrity around Enhill."
The sorcerer could probably guess what was happening behind it.
This cannot be due to what the outside world calls "the superb political skills of the Furis family", but because Enhill has no choice but to do anything to them - the destruction of the Furis family will lead to a full-scale war between the noble forces and the imperial power.
Enhill is the winner on the surface, but in fact he is the loser.
This coup made the emperor realize that he could not bear to break up completely with the noble forces, and the noble forces also realized that the emperor was not as easy as they imagined to have it.
So the two sides reached a temporary compromise - the nobles continued to support the emperor's Northern Expedition to make a big difference in exchange for Morfan Furis to become the heir to the throne.
Of course, the premise is that Cili goes away.

Zach had already hurriedly returned to his room and began meditation.
He didn't know what the people in the room next to him were thinking about at this moment.
His ideas are not that complicated.
Niphgaard's political system is so similar to an ancient empire in his previous life.
Zach is not only familiar with the endings of the witch hunter in various time and space, but also knows the deeds of Nifgaard's four emperors.
Although this Moerfan appears to be humble and polite, it is not as simple as it seems.
At the end of the story of "The Witcher", Nifgaard's political landscape has three possible directions.
1. If Xili returns to Niphgad and becomes the crowning queen, then Molfan Furis will become Xili's husband and crowning prince.
2. If Xiri disappeared, but Enshire won the Northern Expedition, the emperor's power would continue to maintain the unity within Nifgad, and this balance would last for seventeen years until Enshire died in 1290, and Morfan would justify the throne and maintain eleven years of rule.
During his reign, many of the previous royalists were liquidated, and many of them were not rehabilitated until the next emperor Jane Calvert.
3. If Enhill loses the Third Northern War, he will soon be assassinated by domestic opposition after returning to China.
Guess who will inherit the throne? Yes, it's still this Morfan Furis.
This imperial general has never shown any of the stories of the witch hunter, but he is the ultimate winner in life in all time and space.
Although he is loyal in many plots, it is not difficult for Zach to see clearly the undercurrents within the empire based on these factors.
Not only was Moerfan not the emperor's person, but he and the Furis family behind him were a force that could restrain and even overwhelm the imperial power.
And according to the current development, this world should have been the second ending.
But with his appearance,
Everything has variables.

The sorcerer stood up, and the white towels scattered on the ground, revealing his wonderful body.
"Don't think so much, before dawn..." Geralt smiled and patted the edge of the bed beside him.
"Not today." Ye Naifa waved his hand and appeared out of thin air in a long black dress, wrapping her body: "This summit may not go smoothly, we need to prepare early."
The sorcerer walked to the window.
The sky has turned white, and the stars are gradually hiding in the thin clouds, and everything seems quiet and beautiful.
"Maybe a storm is approaching."
———————————————
"How many people did he bring today?" Enhill asked.
"Not many, only dozens of cavalry." Vatir's face was solemn.
There are not many dozens of cavalrymen, but because of this, we cannot be careless. Since there is already a tendency to overturn the table, the other party must be prepared.
"Vatir." The emperor's voice was low and powerful.
"Your Majesty." The spy chief bent down.
"When did you start following me?"
"It has been fifteen years since the establishment of the Nifgaard Intelligence House."
"Five years ago, it was the Furis Manor you led your troops into."
