Chapter Ninety-Three: Meet the Little Emperor
Under the clear blue sky, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves of the Imperial Palace looks particularly brilliant. The two dragons on the cornice, with golden scales and golden armor, are vivid, as if they want to fly into the air. The tall pavilion is surrounded by a bend in the water, and the duckweed is all over the ground, green and clear. There is not only a bit of the Gothic style of Western-style architecture, but also a bit of the elegance and luxury of oriental architecture.
The entire palace building is several times taller than other buildings in the imperial capital, and its area is also extremely wide, not only the palace for the little emperor to live, but also the training ground for the guards, and the beast garden for domesticating super dangerous species.
A few hours ago, Hill, Brand, and Chelsea followed Gu Xuan after reporting to General Bud.
Gu Xuan suddenly said, "Then next, let's go and meet the little emperor!" ”
In the rear, when the three of them heard it, they were all startled. The fingers were tense and restless, like a musician's fingers on the keys. This nervous action revealed their anxious and uneasy mood.
"Suddenly... Suddenly, I have to meet His Royal Highness, and the schedule on the first day of coming to the imperial capital is too exciting! Brand yelled as if he had never seen the world, and Hill and Chelsea next to him nodded wildly in agreement.
Indeed, for the three of them, Brand is a 10,000-year-old guard on the southern frontier and rarely comes to the imperial capital. Hill is just a civilian, let alone Chelsea, who was a revolutionary army before, and now he wants to meet the emperor of the empire directly.
"Peaceful, peaceful, normal." Gu Xuan smiled lightly and soothed, and then several people walked towards the palace under his leadership.
At this moment, in the palace council hall, a green-haired boy who looked no more than twelve years old was sitting on the throne at the highest point of the council hall, wearing the clothes and cloak representing the emperor, and holding a scepter symbolizing the emperor's supreme power. By holding the scepter in both hands, it seems that he is looking for a stable sense of security, and you can see how unassertive this young emperor is.
Gu Xuan knelt down on one knee, and Brand, Hill, and Chelsea also knelt down on one knee behind him to express their respect for the little emperor.
"I've always heard of Adjutant Gu Xuan's prestige, but now when I see it, it's really dignified!" To the right of the little emperor is a giant man who is more than two meters tall and has a very spectacular waistline: Minister Earnest's signature as always holds a large piece of meat and bites.
Gu Xuan curled the corners of his mouth without showing a look, should he say that he is a qualified politician? All of them are actors with Oscar actor acting skills, if people who don't know, listening to Earnest's heartfelt tone and his admiring look, will think that he admires Gu Xuan very much?
But Earnest was afraid that he wanted to tear him to shreds, and Gu Xuan also suggested in a sincere tone: "Thank you for the praise, everything is for the prosperity of the empire." But Minister Ornest, you're a pillar of the Empire, so take care of yourself. After all, after obesity, high blood pressure, high blood lipids, diabetes or something can easily kill you! ”
Poof, when Chelsea in the back heard it, she couldn't help laughing, and immediately, she immediately covered her cherry-like little mouth.
"Heh... Hehe! Minister Earnest lowered his face, but immediately returned to his original state. With his city government and scheming, this cynicism naturally made up his mind again secretly to get rid of Gu Xuan in every possible way.
"Thank you Adjutant Gu Xuan for your concern, my physical condition is enough to watch His Highness lead the empire to a more prosperous and powerful empire in history!"
At this time, the little emperor, who was sitting on the throne, clapped his hands. Like a child who has not been cared about for a long time, he said in a childlike voice with relief: "It is precisely because of the ministers who help me assist in the government and the military generals like Gu Xuan that my empire will be so prosperous." ”
Gu Xuan raised his head and looked at the little emperor, with a young and fair face, if he wore a wig, he was afraid that he would be directly regarded as a girl by others, right? Should it be said that it is not the experience of a generation of emperors, living a puppet-like life, but still being able to say some good words!
"Adjutant Gu Xuan!" The little emperor shouted again.
"In!"
"The war in the South is well done." The little emperor rested his scepter on his lap and rested his hands on the armrests of the throne, as if he felt that it would increase his prestige. "As a reward, I have prepared a thousand gold for you!"
Unlike in the original book, after Estes defeated the northern alien peoples, the little emperor rewarded him with 10,000 gold. However, this thousand gold is also a huge amount of wealth, which can fully support Gu Xuan's plan to establish Senxi Town.
You must know that the "gold" here does not refer to gold coins, but to gold bricks. One thousand gold is equivalent to a full 100,000 gold coins!
"Thank you, little ......" Gu Xuan almost said smoothly, so he added the small characters, and changed his words: "Thank you for the reward from His Majesty the Emperor." ”
The little emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then his eyelids, which were probably a little tired, couldn't help but close, so Gu Xuan's experience of meeting the little emperor for the first time ended like this.
After announcing his retirement from the court with a smile, Ernest Pi led the little emperor to his dormitory. Of course, Gu Xuan did not leave the palace immediately, but went to be knighted under the leadership of the relevant staff.
Of course, it was only the lowest rank with the qualifications to establish a territory, so I didn't do this little thing in the audience just now. Subsequently, Gu Xuan found the relevant civil servants and entrenched all the territory of Senxi Town, which was the largest territory to expand the title of the capital, in his territory, which was finally justified.
Gu Xuan deliberately took out one-tenth of the money he was rewarded, and as a reward, he personally went to the military base to distribute it to the two thousand soldiers, so as to win a wave of people's hearts and increase his reputation in the army.
Nine-tenths of the remaining nine-tenths were invested in the establishment of towns, which are now considered small-scale. If the caravan wants to go to Longxi City to do business, there is no need to make a detour. For them, the caravan would have needed to hire guards. Now directly hire the mercenaries from Senxi Town as escorts and pass through the Great Forest in the Northwest, why not?
The last half is devoted entirely to the creation of a secret force, with Silver and Natara constantly recruiting men, and of course there will definitely be some spies in this part. However, the real core personnel will be personally inquired by Gu Xuan.
With his Capricorn Pupil Crystal's ability, it is impossible for any spy to enter and learn about the "Heavenly Punishment" organization he established.
And all of them are training in the Northwest Forest every day. I didn't even hunt a large number of dangerous species, but in the form of a long-term sandbag that was defeated and then beaten. And every three days, they will fight each other with real guns, and the point is up. Every other week, Gu Xuan personally practiced with each of them.
This was also an all-round exercise for Gu Xuan, and their different imperial tools could increase his means of coping. Of course, no one can defeat Gu Xuan in the competition.
Chelsea's training was the most severe, although she herself shouted at the beginning, but under Gu Xuan's forced persecution, she could only do it obediently. There is no way that Chelsea is a killer, and she completely relies on the ability of the emperor. Her physical skills are so poor that when she dies in the original book, as long as the emperor is recognized, she has no ability to resist at all.
Therefore, under Gu Xuan's training, Chelsea sweats like a muscular man every day, and her physical fitness has also made a qualitative leap!
Hill is easy to help because of his natural stupidity, but he is absolutely capable of just patrolling. In addition, she also has to accompany the lonely old man in the castle town, so Hill stays in the imperial capital most of the time, and conducts daily patrols in the imperial capital garrison with Seleuc.
Estes, after another half a year of guarding the Western alien people. Finally, the war in the north was urgent, and he did not return to the imperial capital, but went directly to the north non-stop.
Those imperial ghosts and ghosts, because of Gu Xuan's coming to the imperial capital, have converged. But peace is the biggest lie, and sooner or later their restraint will be broken and a new storm will be ushered in.
And just like that, a year passed.
