The capital of Kasha: Irma, inside the Imperial Palace.

At this time, the old king, sitting on the throne, had a thick fatigue on his face.

In recent years, it has become more and more obvious that many things are the old king who has become a little powerless, and he is gradually realizing that he is no longer young.

But when he thought of his second son, who had just turned six years old, and the old king, who had already heard a sound of footsteps outside the palace, finally pressed the armrests on both sides of the throne with both hands, and forcibly supported his waist, which had been sleepless for two consecutive nights and was aching, back to a straight state.

"Click~~"

As the guards outside the hall slowly pushed the heavy door of the hall open.

I already have a general understanding that the young man in front of him who is following Qin Yongfeng is a descendant of the Far East like the Qin family, the pillar of the principality. At this time, in the Quirding region in the south of the principality, there was a force that could resist the army of 10,000 people, and in this eventful winter, the old king naturally had to be cautious.

And in addition, the Qin family, which has served the principality for seven generations, has absolutely no problems with loyalty, and is fully guaranteed.

Inevitably, the old king who took the thoughts of those in power as the starting point and wanted to take the Kamet force that suddenly appeared in the south as his own thoughts, did not wait for the two young people who came to the front of the hall to kneel and salute, that is, he stood up from the throne, and walked quickly to Ye Qi, who looked heroic and extraordinary, under the background of a ceremonial knight's armor, and reached out to help Ye Qi, who had already knelt down on one knee, and sighed with emotion on his face: "Sure enough, it is a hero from a young man, Ye Qing, there is no need to be polite." Tell me about the battle with the ghoul tides in Baal City before. ”

【Heroes out of the ......】

Looking at the old king in front of him, who was already full of gray hair and his face was covered with age spots, but he had an obvious Westerner outline in appearance, for a while, he couldn't help but feel very disobedient in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch unnaturally a few times.

However, looking at the expression on the face of Qin Xiulong, who was also in the palace at this time and was standing aside, he naturally quickly understood that the old king's above words with a strong oriental color must have come from the mouth of the former, Ye Qi, who shook off the extremely strange thoughts in his heart at this time, and opened his mouth to roughly describe the tidal war in Bal City in the face of ghouls.

During this period, Ye Qi, who was naturally standing quietly on the side of the throne from behind the group of ministers in luxurious costumes and standing with Qin Xiulong in front of the hall, also nodded to the other party when he silently smiled in return.

It's just that Ye Qi didn't know that his actions were almost half of the more than ten ministers in the palace, led by the right prime minister, and those who wanted to see the opportunity to oppose it at today's canonization ceremony, secretly exclaimed "bad" in their hearts.

At the same time, naturally he also saw this scene, and had returned to the throne, and the old king who sat down was waiting for Ye Qi to roughly describe the battle in Bal City against the tide of ghouls, and then cast an inquiring look at Zuo Xiang, who was also full of white hair in front of him.

And the contemporary family of Vaolet, who has been in the dynasty for more than 50 years and has been friends with the old king since childhood, can be said to be in the principality, one person is more than ten thousand. Naturally, in his heart, he also understood the old friend beside him, and Sweet Vaolet, who wanted to ask something, turned to Ye Qi in front of the palace and asked: "Ye Qi, if I guess correctly, you and Her Royal Highness Princess Chloe have known each other before, right?" ”

In this regard, Ye Qi, who obviously didn't want to hide anything, replied like this: "Yes, during the previous passage of the Shadow Demon in the Quelding region, I had the honor to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess once. ”

Under Ye Qi's reply, he remembered that more than half a year ago, his daughter and Ophelia Vaolet, the second daughter of the Qin family, had an outing experience, and finally brought back two order flames.

It was also in this matter that the old king, who had specially asked Maggie, had a smile on his face.

At the same time, it was obvious that he also saw the faces of many ministers in the palace, and the old king with a more or less trace of doubt, so he opened his mouth to explain: "Everyone still remembers the two flames of order that Wendy and the second daughter of the Qin family brought back during their outing half a year ago, right? ”

"At that time, it was just in time for the Quirding region to have a catastrophic Shadow Demon transit. Wendy and several royal knights were trapped in the Dawn Chapel in the Byron Territory, and the second daughter of the Qin family walked into the darkness alone and rushed to Bal City to bring in reinforcements. ”

"At the last moment when the divine power of the church was exhausted by the shadow energy, reinforcements composed of the night watchman and the morning priest arrived in time. And in the end, the lives of Viscount Byron's widow and heirs, including Wendy, who were also trapped in the church. ”

The old king, who said this, stood up from the throne again and continued to speak: "And under the erosion of the ghoul tide in Baal City, Ye Qing led his own people, and the night watchman legion, with a weak force, held on for a full five days! In the end, the Blue Knights led by the Marquis of Qin came up with timely support. ”

"Under such glory, the young Ye Qing is still not arrogant or impatient, isn't this worth learning from most young people in the national capital?"

Speaking of this, the old king swept his gaze over the faces of the ministers in the palace.

At this time, the ministers, who bowed their heads in shame because of the children in the family, who had lived a lascivious life in the national capital on weekdays, could not help but bow their heads in shame, and the old king, who had said something more at this time, paused for a moment before then announced in a loud voice: "In order to set an example among the younger generation in the national capital." I decided to grant Ye Qing the hereditary title of viscount. As for the hereditary territory, it will be in the Dorne territory of the former Quelding region......"

"Hereditary Viscount?!"

When the group of ministers in the palace, led by the right minister, heard that the old king had directly promoted the title of baron, which had been negotiated in advance, to the title of viscount that would definitely take several generations of hard work for most nobles, he exclaimed in his heart that he was about to speak out against it.

At the same time, he didn't wait for Ben to think about the two flames of order that the old king had mentioned before. Then under the old king's series of praises, Ye Qi, who couldn't help but feel that his old face was a little hot, knelt down to confer the honor.

I also felt that there was something wrong with it, and after saying the above paragraph, the old king who frowned a little was at this time, and then said: "However, it was originally a barony of the Dorne Domain. For a viscount, the territory is too small. Do you have any advice on this point? ”

"Your Majesty is saying that a barony, although it can guarantee the daily personal expenses of a viscount. However, if you want a viscount to live a decent life, and to send a corresponding military force to the kingdom in wartime, it will be very financially tight. ”

Sweet Vaolet, who replied like this, after thinking about it for a while, thought of something, and just opened his mouth to propose: "Back to Your Majesty, I think it should be otherwise." Isn't Baron Wagner, who is connected to the Dorne Domain, still in the national capital? ”

When the old friend next to him mentioned the person "Baron Wagner", the old king frowned with disgust, but in the next moment, after understanding the meaning of the former, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up and nodded: "That's fine, adding a Wagner collar should be enough." ”

The old king, who did not wait for such a self-talk, officially opened his mouth to announce this decision to the ministers in the palace.

Compared with other ministers, Vaolet is the same as the left minister, and he is the right minister who is closer to the old king, but he objected: "I hope Your Majesty will think twice~ The Dorne family of the Dorne Lord, under the invasion of the ghaur tide on the area of Bal City, the whole clan has perished. Hereditary domains, naturally, are returned to the principality according to tradition. Baron Wagner, however, is now in the capital. Just because he committed the crime of fleeing without a fight, he was permanently deprived of his territory. This must be looking for those foreign nobles who cause riots. ”

However, it was good not to mention this matter, but as soon as he mentioned this matter, the old king, who felt furious, suddenly stood up and roared at the right minister: "It's still alone?!" If not, for the significant contribution of his father's generation, to the principality in the October War. I wanted to cut off the head of this sake bag and hang it above the south gate of Elma. I would like to remind you, those wastes who have only known intrigue and intrigue all day long, and have long forgotten the glory of our ancestors, we are now facing a full sixteen years, and it is also an unprecedented cold winter! ”

The ministers, who had not seen the old king angry for a long time, knelt down in front of the palace at the moment.

The right minister, who was directly reprimanded by the old king, was naturally frightened, and knelt on the ground on the spot, and kept telling forgiveness: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty forgives your sins." Words like that.

"Enough!"

The old king, who couldn't help but feel even more disappointed in him, shook his head slightly at his old friend who was still calm next to him, and then turned to the right minister who was kneeling in front of him and the others, who was still young, only in his fifties, and finally said: "Brad Yerkes, I know he is your nephew." However, in the face of family affection, I hope you can remember that you are also the right minister of the principality! ”

I have to say that the last sentence of the old king is a bit heavy.

But it is also true.

After all, no matter which world it is.

People in high positions will make more or less mistakes because of family affection, or self-interest.

"Right Minister, you can step down."

Looking at the middle-aged man who needed his special attention under the prompt eyes of Qin Yongfeng beside him before, he finally withdrew from the inner hall with a gloomy face under the above words of the old king.

Understand that a figure like this, who is considered the third-in-command in the principality, may only be disgusted by the king because of a word or something. In the end, Ye Qi, who was left out by the entire government and the opposition and was idle at home, did not until this time deeply understand the true meaning of the famous saying "A companion is like a tiger" that his ancestors often said.

It's just that, with the right prime minister Yerkes, he left gloomily.

was half-kneeling in front of the old king with a sword, because of his status as a night watchman, and Ye Qi, who read the knight's declaration when awarding the medal, was not like other nobles.

"I'm against it!!"
