July 5, 291 in the Imperial Calendar of the Britannia Empire.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace.
Ge Zewen has always had a habit, that is, when he is tired from dealing with government affairs, he will go out to Baiyang Palace and walk around in Baiyang Palace.
At this time, Ge Zewen was walking along a corridor in Baiyang Palace as usual, relaxing his tired body and mind.
And Jacob, who was almost inseparable from Gozevin, followed closely by Gozevin's side. While walking with Gozevin, he reported to Gozevin the current status of the bandit-fighting army in the west.
"The current battle situation of the bandit army is very gratifying." Jacob smiled and reported to Gozewen who was standing aside, "The bandits in the area can't stop the soldiers of Allen and Enli at all. The five largest bandit teams
It has been easily wiped out, and one of the remaining three most powerful bandit groups has surrendered, while countless smaller bandit groups have surrendered."
"In this battle against bandits, the first great achievement should be awarded to Enli. Whenever the war started, Enli would personally lead the soldiers to charge, always rushing at the forefront of the soldiers, which greatly boosted morale and also
Thanks to Enli's bravery, our casualties have been much smaller, and the process of exterminating the bandits has been much faster. Judging from the current progress, the bandit-defeating army should be back soon."
"Enri Hunter..." Ge Zewen smiled and nodded, "He is both civil and military. He can not only command the army from the rear, but also rush to the front line to charge personally. He is really a rare warrior who is good at fighting. I will train more in the future.
He, with his qualifications, it shouldn't be difficult to become the leader of the Knights in the future."
"Ah, there's one more thing."
As if he remembered something, Jacob said softly, "Ah", and then continued:
"According to the reports sent back from the bandit-defeating army, Ilsa seems to have a high popularity among the bandit-defeating army. From senior generals like Allen and Enli to ordinary soldiers, they all
I like and respect Ilsa very much."
"Oh?" Ge Zewen raised his eyebrows curiously, "Is there such a thing?"
"Ilsa is very sensible and not squeamish." Jacob continued with a smile. "On the way to the westward expedition with the Bandit Rebellion Army, Ilsa never complained about hardship or tiredness, nor was she arrogant or squeamish like a playboy.
Never cause trouble to the generals and soldiers of the Bandit Regiment."
"In the army, I often went down to the barracks to personally serve the ordinary soldiers. When Allen and Enley were studying the battle plan, they often very sensiblely handed water and food to Allen and Enley.
of."
"So, Ilsa, who is very sensible, has a very high reputation in the bandit-fighting army, and is very popular among the generals and soldiers."
After listening to Jacob's report quietly, Ge Zewen nodded: "That's it...she is indeed my granddaughter..."
After saying that, a happy smile appeared on his face.
After learning that his own granddaughter was so outstanding and did not disappoint him, Ge Zewen seemed to be in a better mood, and even his walking pace became much brisker.
However, at this moment, Ge Zewen and Jacob heard a familiar roar from ahead.
That was Gail's voice.
After Ge Zewen and Jacob looked at each other for a while, they quickened their pace and hurried away following the sound.
Soon, the two of them saw the figure of Gale and a maid.
This maid is very young, judging from her appearance, she should be just over 15 years old.
Gale glared at the maid, who had tears in her eyes and shrank her shoulders and head. If the human body could not be shrunk so small, this maid might be able to shrink even smaller.
When the two rushed here, they kept hearing Gale's roars and scoldings.
It wasn't until the two of them arrived at the scene that Gale stopped yelling and scolding, turned around and saluted Gozevin and Jacob.
Jacob moved his eyes and looked around.
It was found that there was a pile of debris at the feet of Gale and the maid.
If Jacob was right, this pile of fragments should once have been an exquisite vase.
Seeing the vase fragments on the floor and the appearance of Gale and the maid, Jacob roughly guessed what happened.
After asking Gale about it, he found that it was just as Jacob had guessed.
The maid accidentally broke an expensive vase that was being transported, which happened to be noticed by Gale who was passing by. The angry Gale scolded the young maid until Gozevin and Jacob rushed over.
Until it comes.
Just after Gale explained to Gozevin and Jacob what happened, the poor maid explained weakly and in a low voice:
"I'm sorry... I just accidentally sprained my foot... I didn't mean to..."
"You still said that!"
Before the maid could finish her words, Gale interrupted rudely:
"What's wrong is wrong! Don't make excuses for me! You don't have to stay in the palace anymore! Just pack your bags and leave later!"
"Woooo..."
This maid is not very old, she is probably just a newcomer who has just started working in the palace. With little experience, she has never received such a severe and terrible rebuke.
Although she had been holding back tears, after hearing that Gale was going to fire her, she finally couldn't help it anymore. A few tears of grievance rolled down from her eyes, slid down her cheeks, collected on her chin, and finally fell to the ground.
"That's enough!" Ge Zewen frowned and looked at Gale with eyes full of displeasure, "Everyone makes mistakes, so why rebuke them so viciously! And this is not a serious mistake.
!Why give others such severe punishment!"
"Father!" Gale retorted not to be outdone, "She is a maid in our palace! Her job is to take care of everything in the palace! She didn't do her job well, is there anything wrong in scolding her?"
"I don't think there's anything wrong with giving her such a severe punishment! Only by severely punishing this maid for not doing her job well can the rest of the waiters be scared! So that they don't dare to be careless and lax in their future work!"
"Enough! I've heard enough of your fallacies!!"
As if he couldn't bear it anymore, Ge Zewen roared angrily at Gale. Because the pitch was too high and the sound was too loud, his roar was somewhat hoarse.
"According to what you say, those knights who accidentally lost the battle and lost thousands or tens of thousands of troops must be severely punished and punished?"
"You can punish a maid who accidentally breaks a vase with such a severe punishment as dismissal. But if a knight accidentally loses the battle, wouldn't you have to exile him or just behead him?!"
"Who has never lost a battle?! Tell me, in the history of our Britannia Empire, is there any knight who is victorious in every battle and never loses? Even the United Knights have lost a lot of battles, right?
?!"
"A knight loses a battle and suffers countless losses. That is normal!"
"If you become the emperor in the future, I really can't imagine what the Britannia Empire will look like in the future!"
"If you become emperor, I'm afraid that within three years, all the good ministers and generals our empire has managed to accumulate will be accused of being 'incompetent', and then all of them will be exiled and killed!!"
"Don't you know what it means to be considerate of others and treat others with kindness?"
After scolding Gale with all his strength, Ge Zewen took a few deep breaths.
After smoothing his breathing and calming his emotions, Ge Zewen turned his head and said to the young maid:
"Ignore this guy and forget what he just said."
"I won't fire you."
"However, although you may not have meant it, it is an indisputable fact that you accidentally broke the vase, so there must still be punishment."
"I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistakes."
"Tell me your name and the name of the chief chamberlain in charge of you."
"I will tell your chief chamberlain later that you broke the vase."
"As long as you have worked well this month and achieved outstanding results, you will be exempted from punishment."
After hearing Ge Zewen's words, the maid's face immediately burst into ecstasy.
After thanking Ge Zewen countless times, the maid told him her name and the name of her chief attendant.
After writing down the names of these two people, Ge Zewen asked the maid to leave.
After the maid left, Ge Zewen looked at Gale a few times with angry and disappointed eyes, then coldly "hummed", turned around and left without saying anything to Gale.
Jacob looked at Gale who was standing there with a complicated expression, and then looked at Gozevin's figure who was gradually moving away.
After sighing helplessly, Jacob saluted Gale, and then quickly followed Gozevin's pace.
Only Gale remained where he was.
"Tsk..." After Gale was the only one left at the scene, Gale said to himself angrily, "Is there anything wrong with treating your subordinates harshly and making them fear you? I have gone to various places to practice.
Relying on this method, various places have developed rapidly."
