Baudelaire frowned slightly, and reprimanded him a little unpleasantly: "Mara, what is the matter so flustered? What a system! ”

The guy named Mara said with a sad face: "Your Highness, Young Master Tang Tianwei went out to play today, and somehow he provoked the people of the Imperial Praetorian Guard Legion, and it doesn't look like his level is low!" The young master, his butler, and those guards were all taken away! ”

Tang Kang's face couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly asked, "People from the Imperial Praetorian Guard?" Can you find out who they are? ”

Mara shook her head blankly: "I don't know, our people just saw them being taken into the flying car from a distance, and the body has the emblem of the Imperial Praetorian Guard on it!" ”

"This ...... Your Highness, what do you think? Don Kang looked at Baudelaire as if pleading.

The Duke groaned for a moment and asked, "Do you know where they are going?" ”

"I know, I know!" Mara hurriedly said, "They're heading in the direction of the palace!" ”

"The Imperial Palace?" Baudelaire's expression became solemn, "That's the guard next to His Majesty the Emperor!" Looks like it's a bit of a hassle! ”

He thought for a moment and asked again, "How did the young master get into conflict with them?" ”

"I heard from the people in the auction center that the young master and the group of people fought for the ownership of an antiquity, and they bought it! The young master was not convinced, so he led someone to block their theory, so he ......"

"It's ridiculous!" Tang Kang reprimanded with some annoyance, "This rabbit cub, I told him a long time ago, now it's not the same as before, it's out and about!" He's good, even the people of the Imperial Praetorian Guard dare to provoke! It's just impatient to live! ”

"Forget it, it's over, it's useless to talk about this!" Baudelaire waved his hand, sighed and said:

"The first priority is to get the people back first! Brother Tang Kang, get your gifts ready! This time, I'm afraid we're going to break a lot of money again! ”

"Money is not an issue!" Tang Kang smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the other party won't eat this set at all, it looks like the other party should be a senior general of the Praetorian Guard Legion!" The time we have been dealing with them is still short, and we can't find a way to dredge up the dots! ”

These new nobles, although their status is respected, their influence in the upper echelons of the empire is actually quite limited! After all, it has been less than half a year since he returned to the empire, and he has not had time to operate a network of contacts that match his status!

Normally, it's okay, but once something happens and it involves a high-ranking general in the Imperial Legion, it's hard to find someone who can talk! This is what makes Tang Kang feel a headache.

Baudelaire thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's better to go and talk to His Royal Highness Xia Qiying, she has been getting closer to His Majesty the Emperor recently, maybe she can help!" ”

The Kingdom of Rui Bolang has been attached to the Federation since its founding, and this Tang Kang has always been good friends with him, and he usually gives a lot of gifts! That's why he recognized his favorite youngest son as his adopted son. After going to the imperial capital, the two families have to take care of each other and help each other, so they can't leave this matter alone at the moment!

"That'...... Just a lot of trouble, Your Highness! Tang Kang replied with some pain.

Sensei asked, opened his mouth to ask someone to do something, and it was impossible to come to the door empty-handed! This gift has one more to prepare, and with the identity of the other party, it is not rich enough to take it! Of course, this must be counted in his account!

I heard that His Majesty has a good impression of that person, and there are rumors outside that she may become the next imperial concubine, and her status at that time is far from being comparable to these people!

Speaking of which, if they are aristocrats with an embarrassing status, if they want to eat outside, there must be people in the palace! Thinking of this, he became more and more moved by Baudelaire's previous proposal.

……

"Have you come out of the trial?"

In the palace, Yun Haoyu saw Su Shangqing coming in from outside, put down the light pen in his hand and asked.

The other party's expression was a little strange: "I don't know if I should congratulate Your Majesty, you went out this time, it seems that you caught a big fish and came back!" ”

"Big fish?" Yun Haoyu suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "How big?" Could it be that his father, or his godfather has an even more amazing background? ”

"You guessed it?" Su Shangqing said in surprise.

"Why, do they really have something unsightly?" Yun Hao Yu said strangely.

"See for yourself!" Su Shangqing handed a confession to the female official beside her, and she forwarded it to the bookcase.

He took it and glanced at it a few times, and his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Mu Qingya!" He called out in a deep voice.

"The minister is here!" The palace guard commander in military uniform walked out, bowed and saluted, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"You take a group of people, and bring the Count Don Kang and the Duke of Baudelaire together, I have something to ask them!"

"Yes!" Mu Qingya agreed, and before she could go out, she saw Shuangyan walk in.

"Your Majesty! Duke Xia Qiying, Duke Baudelaire, and Count Tang Kang are asking to see you outside the palace gate! She pleaded.

"Oh? They're already here! That's just right! Yun Haoyu smiled slightly, "Let them all come in!" ”

A moment later, all three of them reached the bottom of the jade steps.

"Several Qing family members jointly asked to see me, I don't know what happened?" His eyes stared at Tang Kang for a few seconds, and then asked.

Tang Kang didn't dare to speak, and looked at Baudelaire as if asking for help, Baudelaire turned his head to look at Xia Qiying again, attracting a roll of the other party's eyes.

Although they were estranged from them because of some things in the past, they were allies for many years, and when they had to deal with each other in the future, they also accepted gifts, so it was not good to embarrass them too much.

Thinking of this reason, she finally stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the ......"

Waiting for her to explain her intentions, Yun Haoyu sighed softly: "The trouble caused by that young master is not as simple as you say!"

"What? This ......" Xia Qiying frowned and looked at Baudelaire. He avoided the other party's gaze with some weakness.

Yun Haoyu looked at her expression and said gently: "It seems that you don't know either, and you have been deceived by a few of them!" Let's sit down on the sidelines! I'll take care of it! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" She replied with a blushing face, turning her head and glaring at them fiercely.

"Duke Baudelaire, how long have you known this Count Don Kang?" Yun Haoyu asked quietly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but since you are willing to come forward, it can be seen that the relationship between the two of you is quite good!" It's supposed to be a world friend, right? ”

Baudelaire hesitated: "Back to Your Majesty!" The relationship between Earl Tang Kang and Weichen is indeed good, but the two are not world friends! He was formerly the lord of the Rui Bolang Kingdom and has always been a vassal state of the former Federation, and he has been relatively close to Weichen in the past few years, so he ......"

"Oh! That's right! That said, you don't seem to know why! Yun Haoyu shook his head with a smile and said:

"Go and sit down, too! Watch me deal with this! ”

So, only Tang Kang was left standing there alone under the jade steps!

His lips moved, wanting to say something, and when he looked up and saw that His Majesty's deep eyes were staring at him without the slightest emotion, a chill ran in his heart for no reason, and he lowered his head in fear.

There was silence in the hall, and the sense of foreboding in my heart was getting stronger and stronger!

After a long silence, the emperor's cold voice sounded in his ears: "Count Tang Kang! ”

"Wechen is here!" He replied subconsciously.

"I have a question, and I have never been able to get a satisfactory answer, I wonder if Qing can solve my doubts?"

Tang Kang said uneasily: "What Your Majesty wants to ask, Weichen must know everything and say everything!" ”

"That's good! That's the question! Yun Haoyu let out a burst of laughter of unknown meaning, and said softly:

"Do you think it's better to be the president of a superpower or the king of a small country?"

With this seemingly ordinary question, Tang Kang's face turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he forced himself to calm down and asked, "I don't know Your Majesty...... What a statement! Wechen ...... We-Chen......"

Yun Haoyu stood up, stared at the gray-haired old minister, and said word by word:

Because only you have such a personal experience, only you are the most qualified to answer this question! Is that right? Honorable Count Don Kang, or His Majesty the King! No, I should have called you Your Excellency! ”

"Your Majesty! You...... Got it all? Tang Kang's face was pale, and he said weakly.

Yun Haoyu's voice slowly turned cold: "You say, do I call you Tang Kang now, or do I call you Tang Tingjun?" Your Excellency the Federal President of Gardre, the former head of the superpower, has now run to the Prison Soul Star Sea to stand on his own, and he hasn't seen him for a few years, it seems that your life is quite nourishing! ”

As he spoke, he walked down the jade steps and slowly came to him:

"When you are drunk and dreaming and enjoying yourself on the throne of the king, I don't know if you can remember the hundreds of millions of soldiers of the Federation who went one after another, and the blood stained the starry sky; But remember that the trillions of citizens of the Federation have been reduced to the rations of alien creatures because of your selfishness; Do you remember the countless federal refugees who were destitute, stranded in the sea of stars, and homeless? ”

His Majesty's voice was as if it came from the Senluo Difu, and every word exuded a bone-chilling chill:

"I was originally a Strange Warrior of the Shuofeng Empire Legion, and I went out with the army! Witness how a once-prosperous, wealthy, and powerful superpower was tossed to the point of extinction by a group of filthy bastard politicians! For your own selfish interests, for the sake of those chaebol masters behind you, the military gods of the Federation have been sacrificed by you, countless elite legions have been abandoned by you, trillions of citizens have been lost to foreign races by you, and even countless soldiers of allied countries have been consumed by you as cheap cannon fodder! ”

"After the collapse of the Federation, you high-ranking people, seeing that there was nothing to do, swept away all the wealth in the federal treasury and quietly ran away! Come here to change your face and continue to live that flowery life with peace of mind! You brutes who are not as good as pigs and dogs in human skins!! ”

The last sentence was already very loud, and it shocked the courtiers and palace maids and guards in the palace to be silent, and they didn't dare to come out!
