Palace, between the meetings.

The empty hall is full of marble walls, gilded smooth floors, and several tall stone pillars are lined up inside the hall, which is proud, as if supporting the whole sky, making people's senses both illusion and reality.

On the red carpeted stone steps atop a large dragon chair made of gold, the armrests of which are carved with delicate sword and shield motifs, the flag of the empire, symbolizing conquest and protection.

At this time, a handsome young man with turquoise hair was sitting upright on this dragon chair.

"General Javier, the battle on the southwestern frontier is really excellent, so that the great power that plagues the empire disappears. As your reward, I have prepared 10,000 taels of gold for you. ”

The boy looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in a dragon robe and holding a scepter.

As he spoke, he could feel that he was trying to make his voice more majestic, but with his voice, which had not yet passed the period of voice change, the task seemed too daunting.

The end result is nothing more than a child pretending to be old-fashioned, not only does it have no majesty to say, but it makes people feel a little ridiculous.

But none of the people in the main hall dared to show the slightest smile, because the child sitting on the dragon chair in front of him was none other than the current emperor of the empire - Rudolf Ahiburn.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward, the minister just did what he did."

Javier half-knelt on the basilica and said in a flat but respectful tone.

"Oh, yes, General Javier, you are too modest, exterminating the foreign peoples in the southwest is an unprecedented feat, in my opinion, the reward of 10,000 taels of gold is far from enough." A silver-haired giant man standing beside the little emperor suddenly spoke up.

The giant man was dressed in a wide gray-white trench coat and had a burly build, but most of it was useless fat.

In his left hand he held a large black dinner plate, full of all kinds of pieces of meat, and his mouth was still chewing as he spoke.

"By the way," the giant man seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Xavier with a smile, "I have a new batch of singers in my house, why don't you give them to the general?" The general is also at a bloody age now, I think he will be very interested, hehehehe......"

At the end, the giant man laughed to himself, revealing an expression of "everyone is a man, and they know each other".

But such an expression made Javier feel sick from the bottom of his heart, and the murderous intent hidden in his heart seemed to be about to be irrepressible.

This giant man is the man behind the real power of the dynasty, the man who manipulates the little emperor to carry out endless tyrannical politics - the minister, Earnest Atwood!

The source of all the evils of the empire is also the main culprit that has caused the chaos of the empire to this day!

The little emperor blinked his eyes, his face showed doubt, the words of the singer are in the palace, he doesn't think this is a strange thing, is this more attractive than the golden taels? The little emperor couldn't figure it out.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your kindness, but you don't have to."

Javier finally controlled his emotions and said in a flat voice: "Your Excellency has been helping His Majesty the Emperor to deal with the affairs of the Empire, and he must have worked hard every day, I think you need them more than I do, and I will not take advantage of others." ”

"Why should General Havel be so polite? Good things should be shared by everyone. ”

"I'm sorry, I've always had a bit of a cleanliness fetish."

"Hahaha, young people are thin-skinned." The minister stroked his long oil-stained beard and said meaningfully, "But General Havel is also a battlefield general, and I don't know when he will sacrifice his life for the country, so it's better to enjoy more youth while he is alive." ”

"There has never been a strong enemy who can kill me on the battlefield, so I won't bother with your private life." Javier's pupils flickered with a slight cold light, "Your Excellency, it's best to take care of your body, I heard that you have high blood pressure, it's not surprising when you die of a violent illness." ”

"Really, what a faux pas, don't look at me like this, I'm very healthy!"

Arowen half-knelt behind Javier's right side, listening to the conversation between the minister and Javier's hidden murderous intentions, and his heart was dripping with cold sweat.

The little emperor was ignorant, he only understood two places, that is, Javier is very powerful, he has fought so many battles, and he has not encountered an enemy that makes him feel tricky, he is really a pillar of the empire!

In addition, the minister is very hard, he has such a serious illness, and he has always insisted on assisting himself in managing the government, so that now he is worried about a violent illness at any time, and it seems that he should seriously consider reducing the work burden of the minister.

"Your Majesty," Havel finished dealing with the minister, and finally began to get to the point, "The minister heard from the general that there are many disorders in the current imperial capital, especially the 'night attack', which seems to have caused quite a bad impact. ”

"That's true......" The little emperor was a little distressed at the mention of this question, "I have sent a lot of people to deal with this matter, but so far I have not achieved any results. ”

Hearing this, Xavier immediately said: "Please Your Majesty hand over these thieves to the ministers to deal with, and the ministers will definitely let this group of people who disturb the peace of the imperial capital get the punishment they deserve." ”

"Although it is reassuring to hand over these issues to General Javier...... But is that good? General Havel has just returned from the southwest border, and he has arranged such a heavy job for you......" The little emperor seems to be a little unbearable.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, but it's okay, it's the duty of our courtiers to share the worries of the empire." Javier said with a serious face.

"General Havel really understands righteousness, and it is a blessing for the empire to have a courtier like you!" The little emperor said happily.

"Your Majesty is serious."

Although the little emperor is only a puppet of the minister, this does not mean that he is a thoughtless person.

He wants to inherit his dead father's will and become a holy monarch to continue the thousand-year-old empire, so he usually pays attention to which excellent courtiers are in the empire.

Ministers and generals aside, Estes, who is crusading against foreign nations in the north, is also an excellent courtier in his mind.

Although there are factors in the minister who have always said good things for Estes, the main reason is that Estes can fight, and he can win battles!

Whether it's an imperial rebellion or an invasion by another country, as long as you send Estes there, you will be victorious.

Therefore, even if Estes's enemy this time is the legendary undefeated prince of the northern alien people, Numa Seka, the little emperor still has full confidence in Estes.

There is also a person who is Javier, who is also one of the candidates for the excellent courtiers in the heart of the little emperor.

Javier's record is even more terrifying than Estes, and he actually wiped out the southwestern alien races that have been plaguing the empire!

It is one of the three major forces around the empire, and it also has a history of nearly a thousand years, and if Javier continues to fight, it can be said that the south of the empire has been completely war-free.

Of course, the little emperor did not regard the weak revolutionary army as an opponent.

Therefore, for Havier, the little emperor still appreciates it.

Young, capable, modest, not proud, and more importantly, dedicated to the country, such courtiers are exactly the pillars of the empire.

"Well, I'll leave the maintenance of law and order in the imperial capital to you."

Seeing that Javier was acting so positively, the little emperor patted the dragon chair and made a decision.

"There is another matter that I need to ask Your Majesty." Javier said again.

"What is it? General Javier, but it doesn't hurt. ”

"I hope to be able to re-establish the Falcon force." Javier said word for word.

"Poof! cough cough cough cough ......"

The minister, who was eating meat on his plate, was obviously startled by Javier's words, and then he was not paying attention, and the food strayed into his respiratory tract, choking him so much that he coughed again and again, and even tears came out.

"Chancellor, what's wrong with you?"

The little emperor heard the sound and asked with concern.

“…… It's fine, I just accidentally choked. ”

It's okay?

It's no wonder it's okay! What kind of bullshit "Falcon" is this bastard going to form again! Isn't this just a clear attitude to fight with me!?

For Earnest, Javier is a piece of hob meat! But he doesn't have anything, and he always can't get along with himself!

Earnest will never forget the riot five years ago, he was really shocked by Javier in a cold sweat!

He never thought that a boy who was only seventeen years old would have such a strong sense of action!

It was only after that time that Earnest finally saw Javier as an opponent, and then he sadly found that he couldn't seem to move him.

Havel has a prominent family background, and he is also a famous family in the empire, and his political influence is quite large.

Moreover, he himself has the strength of the "strongest in the empire", and a spear in his hand has pierced the hearts of many enemies, and Ornest does not dare to rashly attack him until he is absolutely sure.

So for five years, Ornest has been gathering strength, and when the time comes, he will send killers to eliminate this scourge!

The little emperor heard that Earnest said that it was okay, so he was attracted by the topic here, he thought about it, and said with some doubts: "Why do I think the name 'Falcon' is so familiar?" ”

"It's rare that Your Majesty still has the impression that five years ago, the minister set up a 'Falcon' unit in the imperial capital, and at that time he also eliminated a lot of criminal gangs, but later because he wanted to return to the southwest border to participate in the battle, he had to disband. However, now that the minister has returned to the imperial capital, he naturally hopes to regain the glory of the past. ”

"Oh, I see." The little emperor looked like he suddenly realized, "Okay, I've got permission...... But didn't General Havel's army not yet reach the imperial capital? Will there be not enough manpower? ”

"That's true, so I hope Your Majesty can get the Imperial Capital Garrison to cooperate with the minister's actions."

"Well, I'm okay with that."

For some reason, the little emperor seemed to be very happy, probably because he felt that he was very wise now.

In fact, when communicating with the little emperor, Javier has been subconsciously letting the little emperor maintain a certain initiative, which is a very novel experience for the little emperor who has always been manipulated as a puppet, and it is no wonder that he has such a mentality.

When Havel was talking to the little emperor, Earnest tried to interject several times, but never found any opportunity to interject.

And it's rare that the little emperor's interest is so high, you can't dampen his enthusiasm/right? It's even worse if it's counterproductive.

So, despite the anxiety in his heart, Earnest couldn't help but speak.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely come up with results as soon as possible to stabilize the security of the imperial capital." Javier thanked him.

"I'm looking forward to it." The little emperor said with a smile.

It was only then that the little emperor noticed that Earnest's expression was a little abnormal, and he couldn't help asking, "Minister, are you really okay?" Your face is ugly. ”

“…… It's not in the way, it's just a bit of a headache. Earnest said with a smile.

It's more than a headache! As long as the thought of the many troubles that Havel will bring him in the future, Earnest feels a loss of appetite and an egg ache! Could it be that this evil star of Javier was sent by Heaven to destroy him!?

"Headaches? Then you should pay special attention, Your Excellency, this is a manifestation of high blood pressure, for the sake of your life, it is better to quit meat and eat more vegetables. Javier presented an unrealistic opinion in a lukewarm tone.

As soon as he heard that he was going to quit meat, Earnest's face turned green.

“…… I think that's unlikely. "Even the little emperor can see how deep the minister's obsession with meat is.

"That's a shame, Your Excellency, I'll prepare a bouquet for your funeral beforehand."

"Don't worry, you won't have a chance to use it." Earnest said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent that kind of situation from happening, let's ask the imperial doctor to treat Your Excellency the minister, high blood pressure can be fatal if it is not treated well." Javier seemed to be kind enough to suggest to the little emperor.

The little emperor nodded: "Well, I will do it." ”

He still hadn't noticed the smell of gunpowder between Earnest and Javier, as if they were courtiers joking with each other.

"Then," Havel glanced at Earnest with a cold gaze, and then said to the little emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." ”

With that, Javier left the palace with Arrowin.

Earnest looked at the back of Javier's departure, and all kinds of vicious thoughts flashed through his heart, and finally turned into a cold snort.

Stinky boy, don't be too complacent, sooner or later I'll have to clean you up!
