But this speculation is actually very serious! As a monarch, if he is unkind, no matter how smart he is, it may not be a good thing! What's more, if a child who has just turned ten years old has a cold nature,
What will he be like when he grows up?
Gabri was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Brother, are you worried that it is too early? The little emperor is only ten years old, and the regent is less than thirty. How many years will it take when Emperor Charles takes over?
It will happen ten years later! I see that while the regent is in office, my trust in you will not be easily reduced."
"This is the most important thing I'm worried about." Du Wei couldn't even laugh this time: "If it's just that the little emperor is not a kind child, then it doesn't matter. Things will happen decades later.
I won’t worry about it now…but the problem is an issue that I have been ignoring before!!”
Du Wei waved his hand: "You are right, Emperor Charles is only in his early ten years, and the Regent is only thirty years old! But... letting Charlie succeed to the throne so early may be due to helplessness. But, later,
After Emperor Charles came of age in 2007, the regent continued to hold power and allowed the adult emperor to continue to be a puppet? Even if the child is willing now, will he be willing when he grows up? In the face of imperial power, there is no family affection at all!
But under normal circumstances, if the regent is free from illness and disaster, he will always live for several decades! Not to mention too much, if he lives to be seventy years old... Is it possible for Emperor Charles to wait until he is fifty years old before taking power?? Is it possible?
"
According to Du Wei's judgment, within four or five years, there will be no conflicts over the imperial power, but what about a few years later? When a child grows up, will he still be willing to continue to be a puppet?
Don’t forget. The coup of the eldest prince Yawen is a lesson learned from the past!!
What's more, when the eldest prince staged the coup, he was still just a prince! And Charles was already the legal emperor of the empire! If he wanted to fight for power at that time, it would be even more justified!
What's more, after the miracle in the square, everyone in the empire has now recognized Emperor Charles as the "God-given Emperor"!
When this "God-given Emperor" comes of age and demands to take power, even if the regent is his father, do you have the nerve to fight for power with the God-given Emperor? In seven or eight years at most, this hidden danger will surface!
However, how could someone as smart as the regent fail to think of this huge hidden danger in the future?
Du Wei had always ignored this issue before, or in other words, he seemed to be deliberately not thinking about it. But with the announcement of the old emperor's death and the new emperor's accession to the throne, this issue emerged from his heart uncontrollably.
Come out!
And it is related that the regent seems to have been taking power from himself intentionally or unintentionally recently...
Imperial City.
In a certain study room in the splendid golden palace, there are not many luxurious decorations here. Although the regent took charge of the country at a very young age. Although he was also famous for his luxury and style during his years as a prince.
However, after the regent came to power, he seemed to have washed away all his former youthful and romantic temperament that loved luxury!
Although he was the actual ruler of the empire, during the three years he had been in power so far, his life was far from simple, but it was in sharp contrast to Augustine VI, who was very happy with his achievements!
When he was a prince, he often went to and from the ecstasy outside the city with others. He also kept some beautiful concubines in the palace, and rode through the city in a jaw-droppingly luxurious carriage... Young Zhang Yang, the emperor
The noble man of this world is proud of the spring breeze.
But after entering the palace, he drove away all those favored concubines. After three years in power of the empire, he still only maintained one real queen. Only later, in order to support Alpay, did he publicly marry Miss Delly as the princess.
As for other aspects, the ruler of the empire doesn't even have a lover outside, let alone a favorite concubine!
His food, clothing, and housing were the simplest among all emperors in the past two hundred years. He gave up ostentation as much as possible. He gave up a lot of fine clothes and food. Even the noble car he owned when he was a prince.
The luxurious carriage he was looking at was also locked in the warehouse.
The empire's finances were tight in the past few years. As a regent, he took the initiative to promote frugality. Although such actions were somewhat of a show, being able to do so must be regarded as a good monarch.
He even gave up most of his spare time. When he was a prince, Prince Chen was a famous romantic prince. He liked music, art, and even opera. He could ride horses, hunt, and paint. He was very versatile. But
In the three years since he came to power, he has not gone hunting once, has not listened to opera, and has not played with music...
What Augustine left behind was a mess riddled with holes, so he had to devote all his energy to repairing the countless holes in this mess. Even if he suddenly received such shocking and huge bad news as the invasion of sinners, he still
I endured it, strategized, and worked hard to run the empire for three years!
Only the personal attendants in the palace knew that the regent had only slept three hours a day for the past two years and spent most of his time dealing with the empire's government affairs, military affairs, and financial affairs.
The current finance minister once publicly praised the young regent as the most outstanding monarch in the empire in recent generations. Although this was flattering, most people agreed deep down.
As the master of the empire, even if his son Charlie wanted a good horse as a pet a year ago, he had to work hard for a long time before he could achieve this level of frugality. Even for a show, it was really rare.
In the study, the Prince Regent leaned on the chair and fell asleep for a while. Then he rubbed his brows vigorously, took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the window, opened the window, and let the night breeze blow in.
Relieved a bit of soreness and fatigue.
After stretching his body vigorously, Prince Chen turned back to the table, read the military report on the table again, lowered his head and pondered for a while.
He felt a little weak and tired.
Then Prince Chen gave a bitter smile, hesitated, and took out a flat iron box from his arms. After opening it, there was a layer of moist ointment inside. His eyes became solemn, as if he was hesitating, but there was a sudden burst of violence.
The coughing made him make up his mind. He carefully picked out a small amount with the nail of his little finger, put it into his mouth, picked up the cup in front of him, mixed it with hot tea and drank it.
The ointment in the iron box exudes a strange aroma... If Du Wei stood here, he would immediately be surprised to recognize that this aroma is indeed ice berry!
"Your Highness."
A solemn-looking attendant knocked on the door and came in. He whispered: "The Deputy Minister of Military Affairs has arrived."
"Invite him in."
When Camisillo entered the room, he lowered his head and lowered his hands, looking very respectful and solemn. He did not dare to look at the Prince Regent. He quickly bowed and saluted.
"How is Duwei doing at the military academy?"
Without any polite words, Prince Chen directly raised his question.
"That's right." Camisillo's voice was a little flat, but he answered clearly and unmistakably: "Duke Tulip seems to be in a good mood. He seems to be very busy leading the cadet officers in the military academy."
Prince Chen nodded. He seemed to think for a while, and then smiled: "Du Wei is a smart man."
Then his smile became gentler: "It seems that he understood my intention, and I know he will make the right choice. But... no matter what, it is never a pleasant thing to be taken away from power. Military
As for the academy, you should try your best to satisfy him if he has any needs. I heard that he has transferred more than a thousand soldiers from the police station. It seems that he is having a lot of fun."
"Your Highness, Duke Tulip has made another request. He wants me to transfer him five hundred... Royal Guards! He said that the quality of the soldiers in the Public Security Bureau is insufficient and more elite soldiers are needed to hone their skills and cooperate with the officers' command."
"Give it to him." The regent nodded without hesitation: "Draw a battalion from the garrison division of the imperial capital and give it to him. The military salary will be doubled."
Camisillo hesitated for a moment, then raised his head. He mustered up the courage to smile and said, "Your Highness, I think... Duke Tulip's constant requests are a good thing."
"Haha..." Prince Chen smiled, looking at this close relative, he said calmly: "You are also very smart. It seems that you have learned a lot from the old prime minister."
After a pause, he rubbed his eyes. Although the pain made him frown, the smile on his face did not diminish: "Duwei is playing tricks on me. The more he behaves like this, it means that he still treats me badly."
Loyal. If he doesn't ask for anything and just stays sullen and angry, that means he is alienated from me. Now, he is just using these little things to express his dissatisfaction with me for taking over his power.
It's normal. It's a good sign to me."
"I know that His Highness trusts Duke Tulip." Camisillo said with a bitter smile: "However, His Majesty the Duke fucked those officers too hard. In the past few months, those guys have suffered a lot.
Several were injured. Although there were doctors and priests on standby, the Duke himself also had extraordinary abilities. However, several of those guys came from rich families, and some of them could not bear the hardship, so they quietly asked people in the family to help them.
Come to me and ask for transfer from the Military Academy."
"Hmph, trash." Prince Chen raised his eyebrows: "You tell them, if they want to leave, they can, but after leaving the military academy, they will be idle for the rest of their lives! If the imperial army does not support these trash, if the hard work in the academy is even possible,
If they can’t even eat, how can they lead the imperial army to fight in the future? Tell them that they want to leave without leaving any land! After the military registers, they will all go home and farm!”
Camisillo sighed in his heart, but quickly nodded respectfully: "Yes!"
Prince Chen leaned back, suddenly frowned, his expression seemed to change, he waved his hand and took a deep breath: "Go back."
Camisillo did not dare to say another word and quickly bowed and left.
When Camisillo walked out of the room and closed the door, Prince Chen's suppressed cough just broke out violently.
He coughed hard for a while, and finally took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth. His cheeks were stained with a sickly blush. He picked up the cup on the table and was about to take a sip of hot tea that was warm and cold.
My chest was wet, but the tea cup was already dry.
Prince Chen immediately pulled a zipper on his side. After a bell rang, an attendant walked in and stood in front of him with a bow.
Prince Chen didn't say anything and pointed to the cup in front of him.
The waiter hurriedly bent over and walked to the front. He was about to take down the cup and change it, but suddenly the corner of his eye swept across the table!
On the table was the silk handkerchief that Prince Chen had casually covered the corner of his mouth when he coughed. The attendant's eyes suddenly trembled, and he stared at the silk handkerchief, and for a moment something seemed strange.
Prince Chen frowned and immediately noticed the abnormal state of the waiter. He also suddenly realized where the other person's eyes were focused!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, he hummed softly, and said coldly: "What did you see?"
The waiter suddenly trembled, and with a bang, the cup in his hand fell to the ground. He threw himself on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!"
Prince Chen was silent for a while, glanced at the waiter, and suddenly sighed softly and said softly: "I don't blame you, it's just my own carelessness. I was too tired today. I felt dizzy just now, so I let him go."
You came in and accidentally let you see it... It's my fault, I'm very sorry for you."
The waiter suddenly became cold all over, and his body shivered as if he was shaking in the cold wind!
"Mage." Prince Chen sighed. Following his call, a person walked out of the air in the corner. He was a palace magician wearing a red mage robe.
"Take it out... and bury it." Prince Chen didn't look at the waiter in front of him who kept begging for mercy. He just sighed: "I accidentally killed him. Next time I make a mistake, you
Remind me, let me be careful, I don’t want to kill anyone again for this mistake.”
The court mage nodded indifferently, then walked up to the waiter, lightly touched his head, and the man fainted. Then the mage pulled the waiter, and the man followed the movement like a zombie.
The court mage walked out.
The room fell into silence, but Prince Chen's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief on the table.
On top of the silk handkerchief as white as snow, there is a bright red color in the middle!
