After waving his hand to let the mayor of Paris, Edward, leave, William's whole body was a little sore, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

To tell the truth, this is the sixteenth person he has met today, and the post-war rewards and territorial arrangements, post-war reconstruction and economic recovery work, clerical appointments and the disposal of church assets, and most importantly, the relocation of the capital, all of which are piled up together, make William have a headache.

"Your Majesty, it's time to eat, today I specially asked the imperial chef to use spices such as mint and rosemary to refresh and promote memory when cooking." Faller came to William's side and whispered.

"Well," William opened his eyes, looked at Faller, and asked, "Have Queen Urraca, Little Richard, and Prime Minister Adolf arrived in Paris?" ”

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness Prince Richard have arrived in Rouen and will arrive in Paris the day after tomorrow.

Prime Minister Ladolph has arrived on horseback ahead of schedule and is expected to arrive in Paris by noon tomorrow. Faller bowed.

"Prime Minister Ladolph is here to help me so I can be a little more relaxed." William frowned and sighed.

Although William had the knowledge of later generations and was quite accomplished in domestic and military affairs, he did not have the golden finger to learn it immediately, especially in the writing of French and Latin, but he was not very good at it.

"By the way, have all the palace rooms of the Causei Palace been repaired, this palace is quite different from my Windsor Palace." William asked, turning his head.

"Back to Your Majesty, it has already been prepared, the Xidi Palace has been repaired by the craftsmen of the Stonemasons' Guild, and the decorations in the palace have been replaced with new ones, which will definitely satisfy you, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince." Faller Osborne said confidently.

"But after all, the Palace of the Cité is a palace built by the Capetian dynasty a hundred years ago, and the construction of a new palace is also on the agenda, and you are going to start preparing to build the world's largest and most lavishly decorated palace in Versailles, just outside Paris, and you can ask me directly for any needs." William shook his head slightly and commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Faller commanded, "Your Majesty, you can order dinner." ”

"Well, go ahead." William nodded and waved in response.

......

On the morning of the second day, the Prime Minister and Keeper of the Seals of England, France, and Normandy, the second glory of the kingdom, and the uncle of William. Morality. Normandy was escorted by a troop of cavalry guards to the outside of Paris.

Upon learning of Prime Minister Rudolph's arrival, William led his nobles and ministers to meet him outside Paris.

"See Your Majesty." Ladolph rode his horse to William and bowed down.

"Lord Ladolph, you have come all the way from England to work hard, I have prepared a reception banquet for you, let's go to the banquet quickly." William smiled and rode up to meet him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, then it is better to be respectful than to obey." Prime Minister Ladolph stroked his chest and bowed down and said, "By the way, Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince, escorted by Lord Otto of Kent and Lord Robert, Count of Norfolk, have set off for Paris ahead of schedule, and will arrive safely tonight." ”

"Well, I'm much more relieved to have my younger brother Robert and Otto escorted, thank you for the news you brought me, Prime Minister Ladolph." William graciously took Ladolph's arm and thanked him.

Except for the Duke Hubert, who was in charge of the Duchy of Aquitaine and the Duchy of Toulouse in southwestern France, and the Duke of Andrew, who was in charge of the Kingdom of Lorraine, who was busy with official duties and did not attend the banquet, the nobles under William all attended the banquet to welcome Prime Minister Ladolph.

The protagonist of the banquet was undoubtedly Prime Minister Ladolph, who was the Prime Minister and Keeper of the Seals of the Kingdom, who raised a huge amount of wealth and food for him during the war, and laid a solid foundation for William's deserved victory in the war. It can be said that Prime Minister Ladolph is not only Xiao He under William, although he does not have many outstanding military achievements, but his achievements in domestic affairs have won him the respect of the Norman nobles, and it is not an exaggeration to be the first hero under William.

"Prime Minister Ladolph, in reward for your merits, I would like to canonize you as Duke of Luxembourg, and henceforth the Count of Luxembourg will be your hereditary fief." William promised in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable, I don't have many combat exploits, how can I be qualified as the Duke of Luxembourg?" Rashford immediately excused himself.

William immediately refused to respond to Ladolph's resignation, and he raised his glass to the nobles under his command and said: "I canonize Prime Minister Ladolph as the Duke of Luxembourg, do you accept it or not?" In my opinion, although he did not have outstanding military achievements, his achievements in domestic affairs are obvious to all, and without his efforts, we would not have been able to win the war, right? ”

"Your Majesty, we are convinced by Prime Minister Ladolph."

"When we were fighting, whether it was food, medicine, or armament and clothing, there was no shortage at all, and this is definitely due to Prime Minister Ladolph. If someone is not convinced, I will be the first to convince him! You're right?"

"yes, we absolutely support it."

Listening to the words of his nobles, William turned his head to look at Prime Minister Ladolph and said, "My Prime Minister, you have heard it, everyone admires your merits, and you deserve the title and title of Duke of Luxembourg." ”

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Ladolph said with a smile.

"Come on! Let's have a drink together. William raised his glass to Prime Minister Ladolph and the nobles.

"!"

"Drink together!"

The nobles and William drank a full cup together, and the banquet was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

However, William did not drink as much as his Norman nobles, and he had to greet his queen Urakar and his son Richard in the afternoon, and he did not want to drink and make a mistake.

Towards the end of the banquet, Falle Osborne came to William's side and said, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince have arrived in Mount and are only a dozen kilometers from Paris. ”

"Then go and take my guards to meet the queen and little Richard. No, I'm going to go myself, too! William ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll go and prepare." Faller would not have any doubts about William's orders, and immediately bowed and retired.

"Prime Minister Ladolph, my lords, I am the first to be with you." William stood up and spoke to the crowd.

"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Prince are important, it is enough to have me here." Prime Minister Ladolph nodded.

Wilhelm, Prime Minister Ladolph and others waved goodbye, and as soon as they left the palace, they mounted their horses and marched to Mount Trajoli, a northwestern suburb of Paris, under the escort of the cavalry.
