"Chapter Forty-Eight: The Controversy for Co-optation: Part II"

Despite all the similarities, every moment of life is like a newborn baby, a new face that we have never seen and cannot ever see again. We can't dwell on the past, we can't foresee our reactions, we need to feel the change without preconceptions, and we need to listen with all our hearts.

- Martin Buber (Israeli Jewish philosopher, translator, educator)

"Ames, do you think the boss will sit back and watch his band of wind thieves be snatched away by the eight?" After reading the information of the hidden guard, Charlemagne's brow did not stretch, and the untimely open and secret battle between his sons made him feel both dissatisfied and helpless.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness William's strength has been hit hard, if he loses the Wind Thieves Group again this time, then His Royal Highness William's overall strength will shrink by more than sixty percent, which is a bit cruel for His Royal Highness William, who has been working hard for more than ten years. ”

Ames, who had been with Charlemagne for so many years, knew everything Charlemagne said and did very well, and he knew in his heart that the reason why Charlemagne said this to himself was nothing more than because he wanted to get some comments from his mouth that were favorable to Prince William.

As His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, Charlemagne is still a person of flesh and blood with seven emotions and six desires after all, and among all the princes and princesses, the most favored by Charlemagne are undoubtedly Prince William and Prince Pross, which Ames knows very well.

In the past, when Prince William's power was extremely strong and Prince GLP's power was weak, Charlemagne, who seemed to treat the princes fairly, would always ask the secret guard to help Prince GLP in some details;

If there was no secret guard to open the joints, how could the youngest Prince of Pros develop a secret fighting force that could compete with the other three princes? In the final analysis, it was Charlemagne who was supporting this young son who was loved by him.

Even if there are three princes such as Harry, Philip, and Prologis who share the fatherly love that originally belonged to Prince William, Prince William, who grew up beside Charlemagne, is still the most important son in Charlemagne's mind, and there is no one!

If it weren't for Charlemagne's intention to use the heir to the throne to stimulate his sons to grow up harder, maybe he would have made his eldest son, Prince William, the crown prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire, the crown prince of the Celestial Dragon Empire, an extremely confidential matter, even Ames didn't know.

But Ames knew that even if Charlemagne did not have the idea of making Prince Wilhelm the crown prince of the empire for the time being, His Majesty's affection for Prince Wilhelm had never diminished, so he was very wise to speak for Prince Wilhelm in order to be approved by Charlemagne.

It turns out that Ames's grasp of Charlemagne's psychology is very accurate, and as soon as his words of slight sympathy for Prince William came out, Charlemagne nodded in agreement: "The boss's recent situation is indeed not easy, but it is difficult for him." ”

"Your Majesty, do you want to let the Secret Guard take action and help His Royal Highness William?" Ames, who was cautious, asked tentatively: "As long as our Secret Guard makes a move, His Royal Highness William's Wind Thieves Group can restore its original independence and strength in half a month at most." ”

"No. Charlemagne, who was a little moved, refused after thinking for a while: "Now it is the eighth man who is implementing the military plan to regain the lost territory, even if the secret guard makes a move, it will be difficult to completely change the situation, but it may intensify the contradiction between the boss and the eighth." ”

"Your Majesty is wise, but Weichen is not thoughtful. Ames, who had deliberately made this irrational suggestion, immediately sent a prepared sycophant, and Ames was secretly relieved until Charlemagne's face showed a satisfied look.

The young man who was loyal to Charlemagne with Ames in the past was not loyal to Charlemagne, and now there are a few people left to live in the world? The so-called loyalty and trust, Ames has already seen through.

In order for his illegitimate son to live a better life, Ames spared no effort to help Bai Feng, and the suggestion he just made was intended to guide Charlemagne to focus on Prince GLP, not Bai Feng.

Seeing that Ames couldn't give any advice for reference, Charlemagne, who was accustomed to thinking on his own, said to himself: "Since the boss wants to join forces with the fifth child to let the military department incorporate the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment, then I will meet their expectations!"

"Your Majesty, how should the Dragon-Slaying Knights of His Highness Harry be arranged?" Ames knew that Charlemagne had always been thinking about Prince Harry, so it was logical to mention Prince Harry this time.

Hearing Ames mention Prince Harry, Charlemagne said with a smile on his face: "The fourth child is a backbone child, and his dragon slayer knights fought with the steppe cavalry who invaded the empire. ”

"Your Majesty, is the newly formed Tempest Legion just in Bai Feng's hands after the incorporation of the Tempest Thieves Regiment? Or is it up to the military headquarters to come forward and transfer the Tempest Legion back? All four new legions, do we need to install people in our secret guard?"

It was customary for the Secret Guards directly under Charlemagne to place men in all provinces and legions of the empire so that Charlemagne could control the provinces and the army, but Ames had to consult Charlemagne every time it came to the placement of men.

"Before Bai Feng leads the army to completely regain the lost territory, the Wind Legion will stay under his command, as for the placement of men, the Dragon Slayer Legion and the Blue Bird Legion can be a little less, and the Wind Legion and the Phantom Legion will be arranged as usual. ”

"No!"

Ames, whose face remained unchanged, was shocked in his heart, and the deep meaning revealed in Charlemagne's words made Ames keenly aware of a trace of extraordinary meaning, as if Charlemagne was ready to make a move against Bai Feng!

Judging from the current situation, the Bai family represented by Bai Feng is one of the most important components of the faction of the Prince of Pros, if Bai Feng is dealt with by Charlemagne, then not only the strength of the Bai family will be affected, but the power of the Prince of Pros will also be hit.

Does this mean that Charlemagne decided to suppress Prince GLP and support Prince William to ascend to the throne? Thinking of this, Amston felt a chill all over his body; Bai Feng's loss of power was a hundred disadvantages and no benefits for his only son, Fury!

After leaving the depths of the palace, Ames set out to arrange for the secret guards to infiltrate the four new legions, and at the same time asked his henchmen to send a secret letter to Bai Feng through secret channels, which was the first official intersection between Ames and Bai Feng.

Charlemagne, who made the decision, first agreed to the application report forwarded by Duke Cullen sent by Bai Feng at the subsequent court meeting, and then agreed to the proposal put forward by Marquis Boris to absorb the other three bandit forces.

In fact, Marquis Boris's proposal was to incorporate the Blue Bird Swordsman Regiment and the Phantom Demon Thieves Regiment, and the Dragon Slayer Knights were put forward by Charlemagne's confidants; everyone knew that this was Charlemagne's intention, so naturally no one dared to stand up against it.

In the end, the Duke of Cullen proposed to promote the Marquis of Boris to the Duke of the Empire, and Charlemagne, while agreeing, also promoted the Marquis of Hammond, the Minister of Finance, to the Duke of the Empire;
