Chapter 114: The Prime Minister's Banquet (Part II)
"How can a flower enjoying the sun understand the pain of living in the dark. Hua Long said with great meaning.
And Xue Ya was immediately attracted by Hua Long's words, why did this comment that seemed to be about flowers have such depth? Could it be that he was just talking casually? Could it be that he was too worried?
At this moment, Sasna walked over, "Miss Xueya, Young Master Hualong, Master Hualong, my lord invites you to come over for dinner." ”
"Got it, I'm ......" Xue Ya glanced at Thunder Pattern, "We'll go over right away." ”
"We?" Sasna looked at Xue Ya and Hua Long with her big eyes in confusion, and secretly said in her heart, when did the relationship between these two become so good?
......
Prime Minister's Mansion, Restaurant.
The long fir table was covered with white cloths, and the fine food and wine were lined up, and although he was accustomed to eating the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, the Count of Auno was still attracted by the exquisite dishes in front of him.
There are not many people attending today's family banquet, and the prime minister's family is three people, Prime Minister Rongte, Xue Ya, and Xue Ya's mother, Countess Qiu Siya.
When everyone was seated according to their status, this special family feast officially began.
In fact, the most restless person at the banquet was Xueya's mother, Countess Qiusiya, who was not only surprised by Hua Long's appearance, but also impressed by Hua Long's dining etiquette, she didn't understand why such a perfect young man had such a bad reputation.
Noticing her mother's strange gaze, Xue Ya suddenly felt a little jealous.
And the meal went very happily, especially when Prime Minister Rongte mentioned the marriage of the two in public, the parties were extremely calm and restrained, not only the Prime Minister was satisfied, but even the Count of Auno couldn't stop nodding.
"I really want Hualong to come over earlier!" Prime Minister Rong Te raised his wine glass and took a small sip, "Otherwise, let's let them get married in advance, hehe!"
"Father, you have drunk too much!" said Countess Tyusia at once.
"I didn't drink too much, so let's wait for tomorrow's affair to be decided, we will announce their marriage, and then send out the invitation, and the time will be advanced to three days later, how about it?"
"Well, that's it!" said Earl Auno at once.
At this time, Hua Long didn't speak, and Xue Ya didn't speak, they may all have their own ideas, but who cares about their thoughts.
......
At the same time, the Marshal's Palace.
Hua Yun was having dinner with Marshal Ron, but compared to Prime Minister Rongte's feast, the food in front of Hua Yun was much simpler, after all, Marshal Ron was from a military background, and he didn't care much about those flashy things in the first place.
This point, from the furnishings in the mansion can be seen one or two, although you are the marshal's mansion, but the mansion does not have the luxury of the aristocratic family, the whole decoration is very simple and elegant, very in line with the style of his soldiers, but the armor and swords that can be seen everywhere let Hua Yun open his eyes.
At this time, although the marshal sitting in the table was full of gray hair, he still looked bright, and his body was also very tough, which may have a lot to do with his cultivation, although Marshal Ron's cultivation was not strong, only the high-grade spirit master realm, but it was enough to strengthen his body.
"If you were to be the governor of the North, would you be willing?" Like Prime Minister Rongte, Marshal Ron also liked to drink a little red wine during the meal, and after taking a sip at this time, he came out coldly.
Hearing the marshal's words, Hua Yun was stunned for a moment, but although he was shocked in his heart, his expression was still very calm, he thought to himself for a moment in his heart, and immediately asked with a smile on his face: "Is it possible?"
Marshal Ron immediately smiled, as if he was praising Hua Yun's ingenuity in his words.
"It probably shouldn't be big, because Prime Minister Rongte and your father will let your eldest brother Hua Long serve as the new Northern Governor, and I estimate that this proposal will be supported by most of the nobles in the government and the opposition!"
He knew that Prime Minister Rongte would definitely oppose his nomination, and Prime Minister Rongte would also put forward his own suggestions in a timely manner, and this person must be Hualong who can satisfy all three of them, and he will pretend to know the current affairs at that time, so that although the power of the Northern Governor still seems to be in the hands of the Xilie family on the surface, this right in the hands of Hualong and in the hands of Count Aonuo are completely two concepts, at least for Hua Yun in front of him, the meaning is completely different.
This is the polarization of the red fruit!
However, Hua Yun still took the bait!
Hualong is the new governor of the North?
Hua Yun's fist clenched reflexively in an instant, although it was only for a short moment, but it was perceived by the sharp-eyed Marshal Ron.
"What do you think?" asked Marshal Ron deliberately.
"It's good, it's good, but my eldest brother is too generous, so I'm worried that he can't handle some things!" Although Hua Yun said this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, how could a person who likes to grow flowers be appointed as the governor of the north?
"To be honest, I also oppose Hua Long becoming the new Northern Governor!" The marshal gently shook the glass in his hand, and his tone seemed very affirmative: "Although he is your eldest brother, he is not as talented as you, not to mention that the position of Northern Governor is a great responsibility, I am not at ease to hand it over to him, it's just that I can't help it!"
Marshal Ron is blatantly instigating at this moment!
However, although Hua Yun also understood, Marshal Ron's words were still very popular, and they also spoke to his heart.
"If it's my father's decision......" Hua Yun paused, what he wanted to say was that if it was his father's decision, Count Auno, there was nothing he could do.
"yes, after all, you're only the second son. The marshal again stimulated with this argument.
Hua Yun immediately fell silent!
"That's nothing, oh! By the way, Hua Yun, I plan to arrange you to the Combat Staff Department, you will first intern there for a period of time, and after you are familiar with the affairs and processes of the army, I will transfer you to the Lightning Legion. ”
"External transfer?" Hua Yun's mood suddenly dropped to the lowest point, in fact, he wanted to hold a position in the imperial capital even more, and he must have a higher position and greater power than his eldest brother Hua Long!
"What, are you not satisfied?" said Marshal Ron with a sneer.
"No...... No!" Hua Yun replied against his will.
But how could such a disobedient remark deceive the treacherous and cunning Marshal Ron? Immediately, he also smiled faintly, and then asked, "Does Marshal Ruphes of the Fire Empire know?"
"Yes!" Hua Yun replied immediately.
This man with golden curls and blue eyes has rewritten history, at the age of twenty-one, he is already the marshal of the Fire Empire, and he has an army of about one million people in seven legions, a person like him is simply a hundred years, oh no! It should be a military genius that is rare to see in a thousand years, Hua Yun may not know?
And Hua Yun admires him very much, and even hopes that he is him.
"Do you know why he rose so quickly?" asked Marshal Ron again.
Hua Yun shook his head gently, he originally wanted to say that Rufis had laid down today's achievements with countless victories, but when he thought about it, it wasn't entirely like that.
"Opportunity and talent!" Marshal Ron said lightly.
"Opportunities and talents?" Hua Yun muttered and repeated.
The marshal nodded, and then poured a cup for Hua Yun, his tone was very relaxed, "In terms of opportunities, Rufis can be said to be smooth, since he grasped the military power, there have been successive wars in the Agni Empire, and he has just grasped this favorable situation, in front of the Federal Imperial army that is three times his own army, and in front of the rebels who have been slow to shrink into the fortress, this young man's intelligence and composure are undoubtedly revealed." ”
Marshal Ron's face was filled with admiration and exclamation at the moment.
"That ......"
"That's exactly what I meant by transferring you to the Lightning Legion, especially in recent times, the southeast side of Easy City has been very unstable, and I guess those bandits want to move again. Marshal Ron said with a slightly solemn look in his eyes at the moment.
You must know that the Xiaoyao City in the southeast was originally a piece of the Cold Moon Empire's historical remnants, because it is located in the bordering area between the Cold Moon Empire and the Hanhai Empire, where the mountains are not only steep, surrounded by jungles, but also leaning against the sea, therefore, with the help of this natural geographical advantage and when the two empires have no time to take care of it, a small group of people slowly gather here, thus forming the huge Xiaoyao City today.
After that, the two empires also launched several military clearance operations against Xiaoyao City, but because it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the two empires had their own concerns, they have not been able to make any achievements, resulting in more and more people and more powerful Xiaoyao City, and even affected several cities around the two empires.
Now, it has become a refuge for exiled nobles and bandits, and according to recent surveys, the military strength of the city has reached 400,000 men, which is more than the maximum amount that the region can support the army, and in layman's terms, the battle of the city is approaching.
At this point, Hua Yun finally understood what Marshal Ron meant, he said that once he could establish a meritorious career on the battlefield, then he was likely to control the power of the country like Rufes.
As a result, his breathing became rapid in an instant.
And putting down the wine glass, Marshal Ron smiled secretly, "Prime Minister Ront and I are already old, how the next era should develop is the business of you young people, but before I quit the stage, my father-in-law will choose the best path for you!"
"Cultivation by Father Xie!"
"It's all family, don't be so polite!" Looking at Hua Yun, a smile appeared on the corner of Marshal Ron's mouth, but that smile was extremely meaningful.
