After three morning bells, the gate of Sanssouci Palace slowly opened, and all the officials waiting to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting in the square in front of Sanssouci Palace immediately rushed to the palace gate, and they consciously lined up in two columns according to their duties, Linton stood the first on the right, and the one standing with him was Bartley, the first person in the military. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Bartley seemed to be in a good mood, and Linton's complexion was also very good, and the two smiled and bowed their heads to each other, and then approached each other in unison.

The officials behind them all looked at their bosses in surprise, when did these two old guys get so good, and they could see that the military and political bigwigs in the court were chatting very speculatively, and the two of them laughed heartily from time to time, but the voice of the two chatting was very soft, and the people behind them couldn't hear it clearly.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning Berlin time, a chamberlain walked out of the wide open palace gate, and he opened his voice and shouted: "The Franks and the Ice Elves United Emperor, Catherine I the Great announced that the officials have entered the palace to discuss matters!~"

The officials at all levels in the square were stunned, of course, there were two people who did not respond, they were Linton and Bartley, who stood first among the officials.

Just when the other officials had not yet reflected what kind of country this Frankish and Ice Elf Empire was, and why the emperor of this country appeared in the palace of their own country, Linton and Bartley had already humbly walked into the palace together.

The other officials saw that their boss had already walked out of the palace, and only then did they reflect, although they still had questions about this united empire, but it did not affect them to follow their boss to the court.

On the 1-kilometer stretch between the palace gate and the council hall, there was a constant whisper in the ranks of officials, who were asking their acquaintances what the so-called United Empire of Franks and Ice Elves was.

The soldiers of the Guards and the palace attendants on both sides of the road did not stop the whispers of the officials as usual, they just watched quietly, as if they did not know.

An old official, who looked to be almost eighty years old in the middle of the line, suddenly let out an "ah", causing everyone around him to look at him.

He wasn't embarrassed, he just said to himself: "I know, this united empire was established after Louis the Great annexed the elven kingdom, this united empire is our Frankish Empire, and Catherine the Great is the old queen of our Frankish Empire!"

The people around him opened their mouths in surprise, looked at him in disbelief, and even slowed down their steps, the old official suddenly found that the whispers around him were gone, he looked around, and found that everyone was looking at him, he asked puzzledly: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

One of the people who walked beside him immediately asked, "Is what you just said true?

The old official glanced at the little guy next to him with disdain, and then said: "When the empire retreated from the south to this side, the area east of Poland was the territory of the Ice Elf Kingdom, and the west was the borderless land.

At that time, the Emperor led our Frankish ironclad army all the way to the Kaluga-Tula line, which had already threatened Smolinsk in the north, bypassed Ryazan in the south, and made a detour behind Moscow.

At this time, the elven kingdom sent envoys to sue for peace, and the emperor asked the elven kingdom to surrender, but the elves only agreed to surrender, but to retain sovereignty, the emperor did not agree, and continued the offensive in the north, not only occupying Smolinsk, but also entering St. Petersburg, and fighting Vladimir in the south, which has surrounded Moscow from three sides.

The elves then agreed to submit, and the elves were arrogant, they asked to keep the name of the country, asked for a high degree of autonomy, and the emperor also took a step back at the same time, agreeing that they would keep the name of the country, but could not be autonomous, and then the two sides each compromised one step and jointly established the joint empire of the Franks and the ice elves, the empire adopted a dual emperor system, the first emperor of the Franks was Louis the Great, and the first emperor of the elven kingdom was the eldest princess of the elven kingdom, and later married to Empress Catherine of Louis the Great. ”

The surrounding officials suddenly realized that they had actually learned this history, but this was all in the junior high school curriculum, and not many of them still remembered it, and now when the old official said it, everyone remembered it.

But today is the grand meeting of the Frankish Empire, so what is the old queen running out? All the officials are speculating, especially the real high-ranking people of the empire who are walking in the first phalanx at the head.

Many of them are from noble families, they are all the people who were notified last night, and they all already know that today's court meeting is not a good meeting.

Everyone walked into the main hall, today's hall is a little different from the past, at the back of the emperor's throne, it was originally covered by two curtains, today the curtain is opened, there are two chairs that are exactly the same as the emperor's throne, but larger.

If there is any difference between these two chairs and the emperor's throne below, it is that there is a five-star and a snowflake on the top of the back of the chair, respectively, and these two symbols are movable.

Seeing that everyone had already entered the main hall, he shouted loudly: "The great court meeting begins, welcome the Franks and the Ice Elves United Emperor Empress Catherine to the palace, and welcome the Frankish Empire Emperor Hanksen to the palace!"

The officials in the main hall stood in their seats, and they all stretched out their heads to look at the door connected to the apse, where the emperor had slowly walked out, and behind the emperor, the old queen mother also slowly walked up to the hall with the support of the princess.

The princess lifted the old queen mother to the bottom of the throne steps and let go of her hand, standing quietly under the steps, the emperor took over the errand of supporting the old queen mother, and helped the old queen mother to the highest level of the throne, the old queen mother sat down on the throne with snowflakes behind her, and the emperor saw the old queen mother sit down, and then went to the next floor of his seat and sat down.

After the officials greeted the emperor and the old empress dowager in unison, the old emperor stretched his hands flat to his chest, pressed down gently, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Seeing that the officials had already sat down, the chief of the chamberlain shouted loudly: "Do you have a book to beat?"

Everyone looked at Linton and Bartley, the two old fellows were in a deep breath at this time, both of them looked at their noses and noses, and their noses looked at their hearts, and they didn't care about themselves.

These two didn't speak, and no one dared to speak in the little ghosts below, and these two big guys obviously didn't plan to let their little brother be the first bird, and for a while, there was silence in the main hall.

After waiting for more than two minutes, the old emperor saw that no one spoke below, and was about to say something, when he heard the old queen mother suddenly say: "Qiao, read out my decision!"

The chief waiter hurriedly trotted to the old queen mother's side, took a scroll in the old queen's hand with both hands, and then walked to the throne staircase and unfolded the scroll: "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: The Great Emperor Catherine of the United Empire of Franks and Ice Elves is too old to deal with political affairs, and His Majesty the Great Emperor has issued an edict to pass the emperor's throne to Vivian, the princess of the Frankish Empire and the eldest princess of the Elven Kingdom, Vivian Fidelle?Mary Catherine Hanksen, this order will take effect immediately!"

If Yu Wusheng was here, he would definitely complain: "This holy edict is really ...... , I can't say, if you want to learn this, what kind of Fengtian carrier...... , just learn like a little, and drag a few sentences of ancient texts, what is this vernacular!"

When the chief chamberlain finished reading the sacred edict, a small chamberlain waiting at the bottom of the stairs had obviously been instructed, and immediately walked up to Vivian's side, made a gesture of invitation to her, and then stood beside Vivian, Vivien immediately straightened up and walked up the steps step by step, and the little chamberlain followed Vivian step by step, until Vivian sat down beside the old lady, and he quickly went down the other side of the steps.

The old queen smiled kindly at Vivian and said: "Xiaowei, this will be your stage in the future, grandma will be there to watch you for the next half a year, don't be afraid, be bold, remember the things grandma taught you, my Xiaowei is the best!"

The old lady pointed to a chair on the left side of the stairs as she spoke, and when she had finished speaking, she stood up and walked over to the chair she pointed to, and when she reached the chair, she turned to the ministers and said, "Ministers, thank you very much for your contributions to the Frankish Empire over the years, you have assisted my little grandson in such a prosperous way of governing the Empire, I hope you will assist Vivien as much as you assist Brooke, and I am here to thank you on behalf of the Hankeson family!"

The old queen mother bent her waist deeply and gave a 90-degree salute to every official present, and the officials below hurriedly stood up and returned the salute one after another, and for a time the hall was in chaos.

The old queen mother looked at the chaos below, and the smile corner led to a smile, at this time Bartley happened to look at the old lady, and the two tacitly glanced at each other, and then, the old queen slowly sat down on the chair, and saw the old queen mother sit down, and the officials below re-seated.

At this time, Linton, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Empress Dowager will pass the throne of the United Empire to Her Royal Highness the Princess, that is the honor of our Frankish Empire, and the blessing of the people of our Frankish Empire, I only congratulate Your Majesty on behalf of the vast number of people of the Empire!"

The old emperor sat on the treasure seat, looked at Linton with a smile, and said in his heart: "This Linton is very good, very good at talking, and it is the right time to come out and speak at this time." ”

Linton saw the old emperor smiling at him, his eyes were still full of encouragement, and he immediately continued: "But there is one thing that is urgent now, I hope Your Majesty can seriously consider it!"

"Oh, what's the matter, the Prime Minister is coming!" said the old emperor at once in Linton's voice.

"It's the marriage of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the princess has reached the age of eighteen, and now she has inherited the throne of the United Empire, so the marriage of the princess must be put on the agenda!" Linton said in a loud voice.
