"Gozevin!" Jacob shouted, "Are you crazy?! Her Highness Ilsa is only 8 years old! Do you want to skip Her Highness Gale and directly let Her Highness Ilsa, who is still a child, take the throne?
?”
"It's not that new for a young child to become an emperor, is it?"
"But Your Highness Ilsa is only 8 years old this year!" Jacob said anxiously, "If you let an 8-year-old child become the emperor, do you think she has the ability to govern the country well?"
"Isn't there still you? Jacob." Ge Zewen showed a gentle smile to Jacob, "You have always been in good health, and you usually insist on exercising. When I die, you will definitely not be dead. If I die in the future,
If I die, help Ilsa ascend the throne, and please take good care of and assist Ilsa for me."
"Ge Zewen! What the hell are you talking about!"
"Hahahaha." Ge Zewen stroked the long beard on his chin, "I just put forward an idea. I don't really intend to immediately abolish Gale's position as crown prince and make Ilsa the next emperor.
,Don’t be so nervous, Jacob.”
"...Ge Zewen." Jacob said in a deep voice, "How can you guarantee that Her Highness Ilsa will do better than Her Highness Gale when she becomes emperor?"
"..." After Ge Zewen thought silently for a while, he shook his head and said, "I can't guarantee it. But Ilsa is very smart. It takes ordinary people 10 days to understand. She can master the knowledge in 3 days.
She has a strong self-learning ability, and Ilsa's self-learning ability has impressed her teachers."
"At the same time, Ilsa is a very kind-hearted child. She knows how to be considerate of the subordinates around her and will not treat them like animals. Therefore, Ilsa has high popularity among the waiters in the palace."
"Ilsa's talent and Ilsa's character gave me confidence and gave me the confidence to let her ascend the throne as emperor."
"But! Ge Zewen!" Jacob became a little excited, "The risk of letting a young child take the throne is too great!"
"Although the risk is high, it is not impossible, isn't it?" Ge Zewen asked rhetorically, "With you inside and Su Cheng outside, I believe that even if Ilsa is allowed to take the throne, I will
, there will be no commotion within the empire.”
"Mr. Cheng?"
"Well. Before Su Cheng became a knight, he was a member of Ilsa's teacher group. The two of them have a close relationship." Go Zewen smiled and said, "Su Cheng and Ilsa have a very good relationship.
Moreover, Su Cheng is a loyal minister who deserves to be entrusted with important tasks. He is the most worthy person to win over."
"If Ilsa ascends the throne and becomes emperor, and you, Jacob, can persuade and win over you, Su Cheng will definitely stand with you and become Ilsa's strong foreign aid, supporting you one by one and assisting Ilsa.
.”
"I'm getting older now, and I should die soon." Gozewen said in a half-joking tone, "If I decide to let Ilsa take the throne in the future, what happens next after I die?
I leave it to you and Su Cheng, but you must take good care of me and assist Ilsa. With the two of you here, I believe Ilsa will grow into a wise king and a hero in the future."
"Ge Zewen..." Looking at the face of his old friend, Jacob didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because he could feel that Ge Zewen was not joking.
Therefore, during the big words just now, Ge Zewen used a joking tone throughout.
But Jacob, who had decades of friendship with Gozevin and knew each other well, could still tell from Gozevin's words that what he just said was not entirely a joke.
Looking at Jacob's face with various emotions, Ge Zewen smiled helplessly: "Okay, Jacob. Don't make such an expression. Didn't I just say it? I just made a suggestion.
It’s just an assumption, and we don’t really intend to immediately abolish Gale’s position as crown prince and make Ilsa the next emperor.”
Knock knock knock!
As soon as Ge Zewen finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
As soon as the knock on the door came, Bancroft's anxious voice sounded:
"Your Majesty! I have something urgent to report!"
After hearing Bancro's voice, Gozewen and Jacob raised their eyebrows in unison.
Bancro's official position in the central government is foreign affairs chief and military affairs staff officer.
Director of Foreign Affairs and Military Staff Anyone who has a little knowledge of the official positions of the Britannia Empire will know how big this official is.
As the name suggests, the Diplomacy Manager is the person in charge of the empire's diplomacy. All high-level diplomatic activities are conducted by Bancro, who is the Diplomacy Manager. For example, he went to the Rollin Empire to negotiate a peace agreement with the Fool Queen last year, and this year's mission to the Far East.
.
The main responsibility of the military staff is to help the emperor make suggestions and help the emperor plan and make decisions on military-related matters.
There can be many military affairs staff officers. For example, Gozevin currently has 6 military affairs staff officers, and Bancro is the most capable, most trusted and favored one among these 6 military affairs staff officers.
Bancroft was the main planner of the overall strategy of last year's "Summer Wind" offensive.
Judging from Bancro's position, we can see what an extraordinary talent Bancro is. Bancro is the first person in the history of the Britannia Empire who can serve as both the diplomatic manager and the military staff at the same time.
A person with a job.
Bancroft is good at two completely unrelated fields: diplomacy and military affairs. In either of these two fields, Bancroft has achieved good results. Apart from Jacob, Bancroft is the one whom Gozevin relies on most.
Minister, important minister.
Bancro's visit shows that the urgent matter he talks about is either a diplomatic emergency or a military emergency.
Judging from Bancro's anxious tone, it seemed that it was really an urgent matter that needed to be dealt with quickly.
Ge Zewen straightened his sitting posture, then rushed out the door and said loudly:
"Come in."
"yes!"
After opening the door to the study and quickly walking into the room, Bancro said directly to Gozewen and Jacob:
"Your Majesty! The severity of banditry in the west has exceeded our expectations!!"
After hearing what Bancro said, Jacob and Gozevin frowned in perfect agreement.
"Can't the local garrison troops in the west wipe out those bandits?" Ge Zewen asked.
Bancro did not answer Gozevin in words.
Instead, he shook his head and used body movements to answer Ge Zewen.
"The local garrison is only a second-line force with limited combat capabilities. It's okay to let them catch thieves and robbers and road bullies on a daily basis, but it's still too strenuous to let them fight against bandits who are murderous and cruel."
