After the throne of the Palace of Versailles there is a side hall.

The function is more complicated, summoning ministers to discuss state affairs, or coming in for a rest, etc.

At this moment, in addition to some maids and lieutenants, there are three people sitting on the table in the side hall.

Sitting on the throne is His Majesty the Emperor. Opposite him was an old man of about sixty years of age, dressed in the garb of the Senate, who seemed to be a senator of high status.

Next to the old man was a handsome young man who looked only about twenty years old, and it was Zachar. The old man was his grandfather.

"Your Majesty, you look older than the last time I saw you. His Majesty the Emperor looked at the few strands of gray hair on Us's head and said with some emotion.

"Your Majesty cares, after all, the minister is old, and he was a little too violent in the early years, which is also normal. Uss didn't think anything was there, and said casually.

"It's worthy of the Brandon family, all for the Empire. His Majesty the Emperor complimented.

There was a hint of pride on Us's face, and so did Sachar.

Because it's the truth, it's not half doped with water.

For so many years, the Brandon family dared to call itself the "northern barrier" of the empire, and for a thousand years, the northern empire did not take a southern step, and this is a merit.

Just talking about Sachar's grandfather Us, as a powerhouse at the level of the Holy Domain, his normal lifespan can basically reach the human limit of one hundred and twenty years. He's only in his sixties now, and on a normal basis, he looks like a middle-aged man in his thirties.

But now he looks so old, and there is a reason for this.

In the Jade Empire, all the generals practice Dou Qi, because only with Dou Qi can they lead troops.

But among the fighting spirits, there are also two kinds, the powerful rigid fighting spirit, and the flexible fighting spirit that has no power.

One is dedicated to battlefield killing, and the other is to live longer.

In the empire, military merit comes first, and all those who have pursuits practice rigid vindictiveness.

This fighting spirit gets stronger the more you fight, but the more you fight, the more damage you do to your body. But in order to be stronger, almost everyone still practices rigid fighting qi, when they are young, there is nothing, and when they reach an age, people who practice rigid fighting qi will quickly become old, and their combat power will be greatly reduced.

Ous, of course, was no exception, and he looked so old because he had fought too much.

Su Yalun once told Sachar that by the time she reached the age of fifty, she might be old. This is definitely not, the priest system is famous for its self-cultivation, and the cultivators of the Holy Domain are the best among them, maybe when the day her life ends, she will only look like she will be forty years old. When he was fifty years old, he was old, and Zachar was about the same.

......

The Emperor chatted with Zachar's grandfather and looked at Zachar with a smile in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is your grandson who claims to be the 'incarnation of God', right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Uss also had a proud smile on his face, and he said with some pride: "Saga is my Brandon family, the most outstanding heir of a thousand years, and he will definitely become the pillar of the empire in the future!"

"What His Majesty said is that Sachar is excellent, I have also heard of it, and when I saw it today, it was indeed a young handsome man of the empire. At a young age, his strength is so strong. His Majesty the Emperor nodded approvingly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. "His grandfather can talk and laugh with the emperor, that is a huge merit, but Saga does not, so he hurriedly saluted to His Majesty the emperor and said.

"I don't know if Your Majesty brought her grandson to me today, but what's the matter?" His Majesty the Emperor asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister does have something to ask Your Majesty. Zachar bowed down again.

"Oh, the dignified son of the Brandon family, the first in line to the throne, and still have something to ask of me, it seems to be a big deal!" said the Emperor jokingly.

If an emperor said such a thing, if it was in the Celestial Empire in ancient China, I am afraid that the courtiers would have been so frightened that they would have fallen to the ground and begged the emperor for mercy.

However, in the Emerald Empire, this is really a joke, similar to the big princes of the Brandon family, except for some major events that need to be confirmed by the central government, most things really don't need to go through His Majesty the Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to perform his duties in the province of Blago, hoping to clear the troubles of the Blagoian barbarians for the Empire. Sagar bowed to the ground, "I hope Your Majesty will answer." ”

Hearing Sagar's words, His Majesty the Emperor had a feeling of sudden realization.

It turned out that it was because of the Brandon family, which crossed the line!

In addition to the superficial set of rules, there is also a set of unspoken rules in the performance of the officials of the empire.

Among this set of unspoken rules, there is a very important one that the family members of the great governors of each realm are not allowed to directly perform their duties in other fields.

For example, Zachar, in addition to the northern and central eight provinces, if he wants to perform his duties in other border provinces, he must obtain the consent of the border duke.

Of course, as the emperor of the empire, he also has this right.

The Brandon family and the major families of the South are not very familiar. That's why Saga asked his grandfather to take him directly to His Majesty the Emperor to apply for an appointment.

"It's nothing to appoint you, it's a simple thing. His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "However, are you sure you are going to the Southern Province? ”

The emperor's view is also the overall view of the empire today, the richest places in the empire are, of course, the eight central provinces, followed by the northern provinces, and even the western provinces are a little richer than the southern provinces.

Moreover, the southern provinces were the last to be incorporated into the empire, and there was some instability and people's hearts fluctuated.

All the provinces in the south add up to only 500,000 citizens of the empire, which means that the control of the empire is not enough.

Sachar understands this, of course, but high risk means high reward. Sachar knew exactly how much potential the southern provinces had.

Moreover, the southern provinces do not have a top family like the Brandon family, and it is only through unity that they can maintain their current status.

The family already has too high a status in the north of the empire, and if he can make a breakthrough in the south, it will be a huge help at that time.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the will of the Ministers has been decided. Zachar bowed again.

"Okay, since you have a heart, I won't stop you. His Majesty the Emperor looked at Sagar and saw that he was very firm, nodded and said, "What is your secret here? ”
