Chapter 952 Entering the Palace for Discussion
After the military court retreated, Prince Norton suddenly received a summons from Bodo XIII and asked him to enter the palace to discuss matters. Prince Norton smiled bitterly. Bodo XIII must have summoned him to the palace to see the outcome of the trial.
I really don’t know what this emperor is thinking. He can just leave such matters to the military. Why is he putting so much effort into it? Those corrupt officials have embezzled enough money to build several tenth fleets, and he doesn’t care about it.
He allowed these moths to toss around and turned the country into a mess. Now that Anne led the Tenth Fleet to perform a mission, but was ambushed by the ace fleet of the Deland Empire and the entire army was annihilated, he became enthusiastic.
Could it be that he wanted Anne to die? Anne had no enmity with him! A little Anne was not stupid enough to offend the emperor! Moreover, she did not offend him who was above him! No, could it be?
Because of Marshal Lucas?
No way? Prince Bodo XIII wouldn't be so cautious, right? He didn't deal with Marshal Lucas, and now something happened to his granddaughter, would he just add insult to injury?
Before entering the palace, Prince Norton thought a lot.
Bodo XIII was waiting for Prince Norton in the study. When the palace eunuch brought Prince Norton into the study, Bodo XIII greeted him with a smile.
"I see your Majesty, I wish your Majesty a long life!" Prince Norton saluted Emperor Bodo XIII.
"Uncle, no courtesy! Please sit down." At this moment, Bodo XIII's attitude was completely different from his previous attitude. It was as if he had changed. This made Prince Norton even more vigilant. He would be courteous for nothing and would be a thief.
.
After Prince Norton took his seat, he asked, "Your Majesty, what's the point of inviting an old minister to come here?" Prince Norton was the uncle of Porto XIII, so he was naturally qualified to sit.
Bodo XIII thought to himself: You old fox, you clearly know why the emperor called you here, but you still pretend not to know. Forget it, I will just have fun with you, an old fox.
Emperor Bodo XIII did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Uncle, the emperor summoned you to the palace this time for no other reason than for today's military court trial."
Prince Norton said loudly: "Your Majesty, the trial process has been transmitted to you simultaneously. As for the trial result, you have objections, so the specific result has not been given yet."
"I know all this. I want to ask my uncle what the verdict will be."
"Your Majesty, the decision cannot be made by the veteran alone. Opinions from all sides must be considered comprehensively before the verdict is reached. Of course, we will seriously consider your Majesty's opinion and give you an explanation."
Speaking in an official tone, Bodo XIII was naturally noncommittal.
"Uncle Emperor, do you believe what Anne said?" Bodo XIII suddenly changed the subject.
Prince Norton was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Although the story is very bizarre, the veteran still believes it. Anne is a soldier and the best student trained by the Imperial Military Academy. She will not just make up stories to fool us.
."
Bodo XIII nodded and said: "Well, the credibility is quite high. So what do you think of what she said about the existence of a traitor?"
Prince Norton said seriously: "Your Majesty, I feel that there is no traitor among the seven people in our military department. Perhaps it is too much of a coincidence. The First Fleet of the Deland Empire is an ace fleet, and its equipment is much more advanced than that of the Tenth Fleet.
Maybe they had advanced detectors that detected the presence of the Tenth Fleet, and then ambush them first, catching the Tenth Fleet by surprise."
"What the emperor said is true. The seven of you are the pillars of the empire and important ministers of the country. I do not believe that there is a traitor among you." Prince Norton was very happy when Bodo XIII said these words.
Everyone loves wearing tall hats, so Prince Bodo XIII secretly gave one to Prince Norton. Could Prince Norton be unhappy?
Prince Norton said with some worry: "I am only worried about the strong man named Wu Lai. He might come to our empire. If he really comes to the empire and sees us punishing Anne, will he be unhappy?"
Bodo XIII said nonchalantly: "Uncle, don't worry, I guess they were just passing by and helped Anne. It's just that the first fleet of the Deland Empire was ignorant and didn't know the masters, so he took action after he offended them.
A small punishment but a big warning. If he really thinks highly of Anne, he should give Anne the captured battleships such as the Will, so that Anne will not be punished in any way, even the military law
There is no need to go to court. He only gave Anne part of the battleship, which shows that he just felt that Anne was a little pitiful, so he gave these to her so that she would be less guilty when she returned to China." Unexpectedly, although Bodo XIII was fatuous and incompetent, he had great influence on people's hearts.
It is quite certain. If Han Xue and others were not coming, Wu Lai would have taken them back to the world of cultivation. Naturally, Bodo XIII did not expect that Wu Lai and others would come to the Bodo Empire.
After hearing what Bodo XIII said, Prince Norton also figured this out and quickly said: "Your Majesty is right."
Emperor Bodo XIII chuckled and said: "Okay, I would like to ask the emperor to think more about the outcome of the trial. The annihilation of the 10th Fleet has had a huge negative impact on the empire. In my opinion, it is not appropriate to punish harshly."
It’s not enough to stabilize the military’s morale!”
Prince Norton shouted in his heart: "You idiot! Military morale is not determined like this. If you directly sentence Anne to death, who will obey? Who will dare to serve as fleet commander in the future? Sentencing the commander to death because of defeat, this makes already
Low morale becomes even more low.”
However, Prince Norton did not dare to say it. Moreover, even if he did say it, Bodo XIII would not listen. This emperor was quite conceited and could not listen to many well-meaning advices. He often pretended to understand and was self-righteous. In
In military terms, he is an idiot.
"Master, do you want to transmit the conversation between Prince Bodo XIII and Prince Norton?" Stark No. 1's voice sounded in Wu Lai's mind.
"Take it over."
Wu Lai and others clearly knew the content of the conversation between Prince Bodo XIII and Prince Norton.
"It seems that this emperor is really evil! Otherwise, why would he want to kill Anne so much!" Han Xue said bitterly.
"Stark 1, monitor Bodo XIII throughout the entire process and not miss any detail." Wu Lai gave the order to Stark 1.
Stark 1 immediately did it. With the surveillance of Stark 1, he could see clearly even Bodo XIII going to the toilet and even having sex with his harem ladies. Naturally, Bodo XIII
I don’t know, but his every move is under the surveillance of Stark 1. If he knew, he would definitely burst into tears. Who wants his privacy to be seen? Especially the emperor, who pays more attention to his privacy
