Chapter 180: Naval Heroes

The maid stood at a loss, looked at William again, but saw that William only waved at her, and she left without hesitation.

The prince was furious for a moment, and wanted to chase after him, but a slightly cold call from behind him made him freeze.

"Norton II!" said William slowly, "you are the prince, you should be lenient, is it the future king of the kingdom of Navia to embarrass a little maid in front of a large public like this?"

"Humph!" said the young prince Norton II, who had been overwhelmed with anger, "with you, will I still be king?"

As soon as these words were finished, the queen on the side turned pale with a "huh", and the guards in the garden all turned their heads and looked at Prince Jonathan coldly.

William raised his head and smiled: "Your Royal Highness, the people are talking about how ruthless the royal family is, and even how His Majesty's family brutalizes the people, I have always felt that it is a boring villain who is slandering, but now it seems that the rumors may not be groundless, without me, your family would have been harmed by the rebels and thieves of Reild, and the country does not know what it will become, and now you are saying such things to a benefactor like me, a loyal minister?"

"I see that you are too tired, tired and a little delirious," said William to the guards of the garden, "and serve the queen and the prince to go back and rest." ”

Several of the guards immediately surrounded him, the queen stood up in panic, and Prince Norton II leaned in fear next to his mother.

One of the guards made a "please" gesture to the two men, and a group of guards served, or rather watched, the queen and Prince Jonathan out of the garden.

One of the officers of the convoy who had been left behind came to William.

"What about the king?" asked William, after glancing around the garden.

"A nobleman came in with his daughter to visit His Majesty, and the nobleman was gone, but his daughter remained in the king's bedchamber and rested with the king. The escort officer said.

William pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "That's all there is left." ”

He then ordered: "From this day onwards, no nobleman or nobleman's family will be allowed to visit the king's family without my permission!"

The Tianlong people are coming next year, although William is not afraid, but he does not want to add twists and turns, and is ready to increase the supervision of the king, in the past, William didn't care about these down-and-out nobles and the same down-and-out kings to communicate, and even secretly communicated with the song, but now it is different.

……

Like a lion patrolling his own territory, William made his way around the palace before rushing to the parliament building outside the palace, which had been requisitioned from the confiscated nobles and had been slightly remodeled to serve as an office.

When he arrived at the building, he found that a nobleman was also hurrying from a distance, and he was startled when he saw William and his party, and wanted to escape, but William sent someone to arrest him.

William looked up at the sky, and then hesitantly looked at the nobleman in front of him with a worried face: "Who is this?"

"Viscount Ochoa. An attendant in the chamber behind William reminded.

William called the doorman in front of the parliament building and asked, "Is this Viscount Ochoa signed in today?"

The doorman held a thick notebook, kept flipping through it, and after a while replied, "No." ”

Viscount Ochoa sweated coldly on his forehead, and pleaded: "I went to visit His Majesty the King today, so I came late. ”

Since William took charge of the affairs of the kingdom, a group of nobles have been "tortured" by him, and they must sign in to the parliament building on time twice a day, and not once late, otherwise they may not be able to remove the title of nobility by this domineering minister.

"I know that sending your daughter to bed for the king, and flattering the king, is more important to you than the operation of the whole country," William waved his hand, "you go down, you won't need it again." ”

Viscount Ochoa sat on the ground.

William didn't care about showing his power at this time, the Draconians were coming, and in order to prevent problems, he was going to temporarily send all these nobles to the desert island and the countryside in the name of inspecting the countryside and immigration work.

These pampered nobles will definitely not be happy, and William hopes to make them understand through reality that William doesn't care about their wishes, and this country is now up to him.

……

Under the transmission of well-intentioned people, everything in front of the royal palace and the parliament building cannot be hidden from others.

The newly released newspaper called "Tokai Shimbun" received the news as soon as possible.

In the office, the first editor to answer the news saw the news, and with a stroke of the pen, he had already drafted two news headlines:

"Why was the daughter of the poor innocently whipped by the prince?"

"The traitorous ministers bullied their superiors and subordinates, and they were severely punished by the first consul!"

The editor gave the maid a background from the slums, changed the reprimand to be whipped, and arranged the identity of a corrupt official for the nobleman who sent his daughter to sleep for the king, in short, all the principles were to deepen the contradictions between the common people and the aristocratic royal family, and to set off the wisdom of the first consul of the kingdom, Lord Morgan Stolt Wilhelm, through the inferiority of the royal family and the nobles.

The editor then sent the prepared news to the editor-in-chief, who was satisfied and sent it to Gerceta's office.

"This editor is promising," Gerseta nodded appreciatively, looking at the title, "giving him a second-class credit." ”

……

1511 in the spring of the sea calendar.

"Down, down!"

On the pier in Kalmar City, a group of people held binoculars and looked at the sky, shouting in unison.

A small black dot on the horizon gradually landed, and it was only when it was close that it could be seen clearly, and it turned out to be a hot air balloon.

In the basket hanging below, a young man kept waving his hand excitedly.

When the hot air balloon staggered to the clearing, William took the lead, and a crowd of people crowded around him to meet him.

The principle of hot air balloons is not very complicated, and the level of technology required is not so high, it is nothing more than the use of hot air, which has been invented in the eighteenth century in William's previous life.

Last year, when William went on a state visit to various countries, he had already ordered the development of the project, so when Sabo left the kingdom of Goa, he would have so many sky lanterns on his ship on the same principle as the hot air balloon.

The attendant officer in the hot air balloon basket jumped out with agility.

"How's that?" William asked with a smile.

The officer seemed to have a reminiscence before he said, "It's a bit windy up there." ”

William laughed, and just then, another attendant officer from the chamber parted the crowd, walked up to him, and whispered something.

William immediately lost interest in the hot air balloon, and after a hard time trying to make a human flight to the first officer, he left.

William returned to his manor, and as soon as he entered the hall on the first floor, he saw Arkin, whom he had not seen for a long time, sitting on the sofa in civilian clothes, while Aramis accompanied him and chatted.

Ah Jin saw William enter the house, and quickly got up, William opened his arms and walked a few steps quickly, Ah Jin also grinned, and the two friends who shared weal and woe hugged tightly and patted each other on the back before parting.

William asked, "Didn't you say it would take another month or two to return to the East China Sea?"

"The old hero of the Navy suddenly wants to go home to see, the Navy and the world government will naturally not lose face, and I also live in the East China Sea, so I borrowed the light and came back together. Ah Jin grinned.
