A person's death always leaves a certain sense of self-reproach for the living. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Majesty, each of the five major families has an elite guard of 10,000 people, which can be driven by the empire at any time!" Duke Patel had to take out the family private army and hand it over to the empire on behalf of the five major dukes' families of the empire when he found that Charlemagne's eyes had been staring at him.

"The old duke really deserves to be the pillar of the empire!" obtained 50,000 elite divisions in one sentence, and this result did not disappoint Charlemagne: "The old duke's loyalty to the empire is known, what about the loyalty of you important ministers to the empire?"

"Your Majesty, the Onassis family is Your Majesty's most loyal servants, and we are willing to contribute our family's five thousand duke's guards to Your Majesty and the Empire;

"Twenty million gold coins?!" Duke Cullen's promise made the eyes of the important ministers in the council hall widen in shock, and even Charlemagne, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was stunned by Duke Cullen's generosity.

As the supreme emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, Charlemagne has the pervasive intelligence organization of the Secret Guard in his hands, and there is no powerful family in the empire that Charlemagne does not know, especially the families of the important ministers of the empire in the council.

Duke Cullen is the new nobleman of the empire personally raised by Charlemagne, and Charlemagne knows the strength of the Onassis family even better, and the five thousand duke's guards are all the private troops of the Onassis family except for hundreds of guards in the ducal palace.

As for the 20 million gold coins, the total wealth of the Onassis family is only 25 million gold coins, which also includes several large estates and some shop wineries, in other words, 20 million gold coins is already the entire liquid assets of the Onassis family.

The reason why Charlemagne decided to support Duke Cullen to sit in the position of Imperial Minister of War was that Duke Cullen himself had good ability, and on the other hand, the emperor wanted to use these new ministers to reduce the influence of the five dukes in the empire.

As it turned out, Charlemagne's plan was carried out very smoothly, and the newly promoted ministers of the empire, such as Cullen, Hammond, Amber, and others, did reduce the Duke of Patel's prime ministership to a minimum, and their own family grew into a new powerful family.

For a long time, Charlemagne has used Duke Cullen more than he paid attention to, and the occasional reward was also for the purpose of winning people's hearts, but what Charlemagne didn't expect was that Cullen was willing to give everything he had for himself and the empire at the critical moment of the empire!

At this moment, Charlemagne's heart, which was no longer sensitive, had a trace of irrepressible emotion, but in the next second, he restrained the fragility in his heart and looked at Duke Cullen with affirmative eyes.

"Your Majesty, our Max family is willing to contribute 30 million gold coins to Your Majesty and the Empire!" this is the statement of Chancellor of the Exchequer Hammond.

"Your Majesty, our Corona family is willing to contribute ten million gold coins to Your Majesty and the Empire!" this was the statement of Home Secretary Amber.

"Your Majesty, our Lorraine family is willing to contribute 10 million gold coins to Your Majesty and the Empire!" was the statement of Foreign Minister Boris.

"Your Majesty, we, the Rudolph family, are willing to contribute eight million gold coins to Your Majesty and the Empire!" this is the statement of Justice Secretary Truss.

The five important ministers of the empire contributed a total of 78 million gold coins to the empire, enough to arm 200,000 well-equipped new troops without pressure for the Celestial Dragon Empire, whose treasury was almost depleted, and more importantly, Charlemagne saw hope in the important ministers of the empire.

In Charlemagne's opinion, he has a group of imperial ministers who can devote their wealth to the survival of the empire, and what enemy cannot be defeated? Charlemagne, who instantly regained his confidence, ordered in an uplifting tone:

"Kulun, you immediately prepare to form a new army, within a month, I will see 300,000 full imperial troops in the Imperial Capital!"

"Minister, swear to the death to live up to your mission!"

"Harold, I'll hand over all the seventy-eight million gold coins to you, and you'll do your best to help Cullen form a new army!"

"Minister, swear to the death to live up to your mission!"

"Amber, you are the Minister of the Interior of the Empire, and it is your responsibility to make the Imperial Capital and the nobles in the Empire fully support the Empire!"

"Minister, swear to the death to live up to your mission!"

"Truss, your task is to stabilize the situation in the imperial capital and the empire, ensure stability within the empire, and don't give anyone with malicious intentions a chance to take advantage of it!"

"Minister, swear to the death to live up to your mission!"

After giving orders to the Minister of War, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Chancellor of the Interior, and the Minister of Justice, Charlemagne looked at Foreign Secretary Boris and Imperial Chancellor Patel, whose mission was the key to saving the Empire!

"Boris, don't worry about the Deman Kingdom and the White Horse Kingdom that are about to move, they can do whatever they want, I want to see if they dare to start a war with our Celestial Dragon Empire! Tomorrow morning, you will go to the Cathedral of Light and use the teleportation array to go to the Papal Kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty, the Papal Realm has never had a friendly relationship with our Empire, will they agree to send troops to help us?"

"Boris, I don't want you to go to the Papal Realm to borrow troops from the Pope, you just need to get the Pope to agree to put all the Temple guards in our empire under our command, and when you repel the orcs and steppe cavalry, we will pay them accordingly. ”

"Your Majesty......"

"Marquis Boris, Your Majesty's purpose in sending you to the Papal State is not to ask for help, but to inform the Pope of our empire's predicament in a different way; ”

"I see!" Boris immediately understood by the Duke of Patel's guidance, and he solemnly promised Charlemagne on the spot: "Your Majesty, rest assured, within three days, the minister will bring back good news for Your Majesty!"

"Old Duke, you are the prime minister of the empire, and you are the giant of the empire, and I know better than anyone else what the five major families have contributed to the empire; this time, the empire is facing an unprecedented crisis, and I and the empire need the support of you and the five major families!"

"Your Majesty, the so-called Five Dukes' families are just random names for good deeds, we are all just a part of the Empire, and what Your Majesty and the Empire need us to do, we will do for Your Majesty and the Empire!"

"Okay!" Charlemagne, who was stroking his palms, said in an inquiring tone: "Old Duke, you also know the current situation of the empire, I hope that the five standing legions stationed in the south can send three legions north to reinforce the Duke of Nice, is it okay?"

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor of the empire, and your will is the will of the empire, and as long as the southern border is still the territory of the empire, your orders can be meticulously carried out in the southern border!"

"Old fox!" Charlemagne, who had just praised Duke Patel, cursed loudly in his heart at this time, but on the surface, he still said in a gentle tone: "In that case, then it is up to you, the old duke, to give this order to the south." ”

"No!"

As soon as the meeting in the council hall was over, the important ministers of the empire, each with their own important responsibilities, hurried towards their mansions, except for the Duke Patel, the prime minister of the empire, who immediately returned to his mansion and came to an inconspicuous tea house in the imperial capital.
