I have to say that Prince Chen is a very diligent monarch.
At least he did not slack off in government affairs after taking control of the empire. And he often worked late into the night every night...especially when he encountered some particularly difficult problems to solve.
At this time, the regent would lock himself in a study in the palace. This study was the place where emperors of the past empires thought about major national policies.
And when the regent was working here late at night, no one from outside would dare to go in and disturb him.
But... of course, there are always exceptions to everything.
It is already a cold night outside, but it is as warm as spring in the huge study. This specially built study is divided into an inner room and an outer room. The outer room is a spacious reception room with a warm fireplace and burning flames. At the same time, this house
The walls are double-layered, and there is a hollow between the two walls. There is a fireplace burning outside, and the heat of the blazing flame will flow into the hollow interlayer in the wall of this big house according to the specially designed channels.
After constant circulation, this house is filled with warmth. Even if it is a harsh winter outside, it is as warm as spring inside.
Prince Chen simply put on a robe and leaned there to take a nap. A financial income report from the south had been sitting in front of him for a full hour, but he actually didn't read a single word of it.
The young monarch was thinking about the same problem as Du Wei: how to solve the problem of the throne?
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door outside.
Prince Chen frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes: "Who."
"Your Highness, it's me."
Prince Chen's face softened slightly. He recognized that the voice was that of the palace magician he trusted. Otherwise, if it were someone else, he would not dare to knock on his door at this time.
"Duke Tulip has something important to do and wants to see you now."
Prince Chen's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the chair: "Let him in! Quick!"
When Du Wei walked in, he saw the poor guy with red eyes of Prince Chen. He probably hadn't slept well these past few nights. It seemed that being the master of an empire might not bring any happiness.
Prince Chen pointed to the only soft chair in the room: "Sit down, Du Wei...tell me. Is there something wrong with 'him'?"
"No, no, no." Du Wei shook his head. He looked very relaxed. Then the Tulip Duke took out a thin book from his arms and gently placed it on Prince Chen's desk.
"What's this?"
"An official document, Your Highness." Du Wei smiled: "I just wrote it overnight."
Prince Chen frowned, feeling a little unhappy in his heart: You are in my palace, you can just say anything in person! What time is it now, what kind of official documents do you still have the energy to waste time on writing?!
Looking at Prince Chen's frown, Du Wei smiled and said, "Don't you take a look? I wrote this carefully!"
The Prince Regent finally turned to the first page and saw a crooked headline. I have to say that Du Wei's handwriting was really poor!
"Proposal for the Reestablishment of the Continental Knights Association"
Um?!
Prince Chen was stunned.
Rebuilding the Continental Knights Association?
At this time, why are you talking about such irrelevant things?
Continental Knights Association? Who cares about that now?
Prince Chen suppressed the urge to get angry and looked at Du Wei, waiting for his explanation. He was not an idiot, and he knew that Du Wei was even less of an idiot. At this time, he must have a purpose for bringing up such a seemingly unrelated matter.
Shift the target? Divert the public’s attention and attention?
It seems not...
"Tell me about your intentions." Prince Chen frowned and put the proposal aside: "Does the Continental Knights Association have anything to do with the problems we are facing now?"
Du Wei smiled strangely: "To solve our current problems, I'm afraid this is the best opportunity."
That night, the two of them talked all night until dawn, and the lights in the study stayed on all night long...
The news of Duke Tulip's urgent return to the imperial capital had spread. And early that morning, several groups of envoys from the imperial palace flew out of the palace and summoned all the nobles and ministers of the major families in the imperial capital.
At noon, almost all the powerful circles who now control more than 90% of the central core power of the empire were ordered to come to the palace to participate in this urgent meeting.
Before the meeting began, everyone greeted Duke Tulip warmly, and several of the guys who had the deepest friendship with Du Wei also exchanged friendly greetings for a while.
However, everyone was trying to trick Du Wei intentionally or unintentionally. After all, Duke Tulip was suddenly summoned to Beijing. Could it be that something big had happened?
The old prime minister, Rob Schell, was the last to arrive. Along with him was his distant grandson-in-law, one of the three new kings of the empire: Lord Camisillo, the deputy minister of military affairs of the empire.
This young Imperial Vice Minister of Military Affairs was also an old friend of Du Wei. Du Wei first congratulated him on his wedding, then apologized for not being able to attend the wedding, and finally gave him a huge profit: a box of precious South Sea pearls.
.
Camisillo smiled happily, but quietly moved Duvilla aside.
Here, Count Villa, Delan Mountain Warcraft and others are also there. It is obvious that they are a small circle and a small group.
"Tell me about it, brother." Camisillo lowered his voice and laughed: "We are all old friends here! Why did you come back? And I heard that you have been living in the palace for the past two days! Did you go out?
What's the big deal? You have to give your old friends a break first."
Du Wei smiled at a few people and whispered: "There is indeed something. This time I returned to the imperial capital and submitted a proposal to His Highness. Today's meeting was held for this matter. His Highness will ask everyone for their opinions later.
When the time comes, I ask for your support! We must let this proposal pass!"
After listening to Du Wei's words, everyone had the same thought: Since it was you, Du Wei, who proposed the matter, and you have been living in the palace for two days, you must have already made a decision with the regent! Most of today's meeting will be held
It's just a formality! No matter what is said for a while, we just support and agree with it! We absolutely cannot oppose it! Otherwise, that would be stupid.
Count Villa thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Duwei, you brought up something, it's probably something new and good. I'm afraid everyone will follow you to make a fortune again this time! The previous article was about the manufacturing of hot air balloons for the Imperial Air Force.
, we all got a lot of luck following you, this time..."
Du Wei smiled slightly: "I'll be honest! I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to make money in this matter, but we will also have to pay some blood! However, you must fully support this matter. Once it is done, I
There must be consequences for Du Wei."
Because Camisillo and Du Wei were jointly the new kings of the empire, he seemed to be particularly friendly with Du Wei. After lightly punching Du Wei, he smiled and said: "No problem! Du Wei, as long as you don't want us
No matter how big the problem is, we will support you!"
Du Wei laughed: "It's not like you'll lose everything. Okay, everyone, after the meeting is over in a few days, let's go to my auction house and have a look. Recently, I got a batch of new interesting things from Nanyang..."
While talking and laughing, I heard a shout from the etiquette officer in the palace behind me, and then the hall quickly became quiet.
The regent, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a long fur cloak hanging on the ground, walked up to the top throne with his head held high.
"Everyone." After sitting down, Prince Chen's voice was a little hoarse. Du Wei knew that this was caused by staying up late without getting a good rest, but his voice was still very clear: "We have been called here urgently today to discuss a major matter...
Seeing that the spirit of chivalry is declining, the martial spirit of the empire is gradually declining... You must know that the martial spirit is the foundation of our Roland Empire! Therefore, I intend to rebuild the Continental Knights Association!"
As he spoke, Prince Chen clapped his hands.
Following his applause, a side door of the hall slowly opened, and a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties walked into the hall with his head held high.
This man has a tall and straight figure and a thin face, but he is very handsome. Although he is a little older, his demeanor is still very good.
He wore a full set of standard black knight heavy armor to attend the palace meeting, but wearing this kind of equipment was really weird. Moreover, the cross sword under his crotch was also the most standard and traditional knight equipment.
When this man walked in, he was holding a knight's helmet in his arms, with a bright red long feather stuck on top of the helmet.
This man came in front of the Regent, knelt down on one knee, and there was a hint of excitement in his voice: "The noble Lord of the Continent, the great Regent of the Empire. I, the current president of the Continental Knights Association, the ninth level of the Continental
Knight, the empire bestows the title of hereditary 'Defender of the Country', the leader of the hereditary 'Knights of the Sword of Roland', Alex Delvayori Delon, has an audience with the regent, my king is honored!!"
This man is the current head of the Continental Knights Association!
Regarding the Delon Knight, in fact, all the dignitaries present recognized this guy, but when they saw this guy, everyone showed disdain in their eyes.
Obviously, although in name the "Continental Knights Association" is the two major organizations in the mainland alongside the "Magic Union".
However, the president of the Knights Association does not seem to have a high status...
