Obviously, he didn't leave Dewei for a few days, but when he saw this familiar city again, Prime Minister Pitt suddenly felt that he seemed to be a little unfamiliar with the imperial capital.

He took a deep breath, there was still a strong smell of blood in the air, and he didn't know what was going on, Deweide, who had just experienced a big war, did not have too much smell of gunpowder smoke in the air, but the smell of blood was very strong, Prime Minister Pitt had just entered the city, and when he smelled this smell, he couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.

The distance from Lands Town to Deweide is not too far, and after receiving the news of Deweide's victory in the first battle, Prime Minister Alexander and Prime Minister Pitt rushed back to the imperial capital overnight. However, what made the old prime minister a little puzzled was that he couldn't remember all the details of the military plan when he gave the battle order.

"Virtue is ......" Alexander looked at the withered imperial capital, and couldn't help crying, "Finally...... It's finally back!"

Hearing Alexander's exclamation, Prime Minister Pete's thoughts were also pulled back, and he looked at Alexander, who was excited, and his heart was also concerned. Those of them who have lived in Germany all their lives, inevitably have special feelings for this city, and the glory of the imperial capital is displayed in this city, and like now, they are ravaged by war, dilapidated, dilapidated and withered, and this embarrassed appearance of virtue is so that Prime Minister Pitt can't help but feel angry in his heart.

"How could the empire ever have such an embarrassment. Prime Minister Pete stared at the end of the street, his eyes were very determined, "Even in the revolutionary period, those arrogant lords did not dare to attack virtue, but now, the current people are really more and more presumptuous, unscrupulously trampling on the bottom line of the past, and abandoning the traditions that we have passed down from generation to generation, Your Highness, such a trend must not be connived." Although the two culprits of Michel VII and Beria are dead, we must set an example to the world, and no one will be allowed to provoke the majesty of the empire and the royal family of Giang in such a way!"

Prime Minister Pitt's words were heard in Alexander's ears, making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nod again and again, and now what Alexander wants to do most is to rebuild the royal family of Guion, or his personal authority, if not to make his ministers bow down like his father Nicholas I, at least let the outside world know that this empire is as majestic as before.

Of course, this was not Prime Minister Pitt's intention.

"Speaking of Beria...... Alexander wiped his tears and furrowed his brows, he suddenly thought of a message attached to the telegram sent by Baron O'Brien before, "What do you think of this person, Jericha? This time, he took down the head of the enemy again, this merit, it seems that it is not rewardable, but before he should have been imprisoned by Beria on the grounds of 'connection with the Southern rebellion', when was he released?"

"It's the Home Office incident. Hearing Alexander mention Swain, Prime Minister Pitt remembered this young man, although he had been entrusted by Wood to intercede for Swain before, but Prime Minister Pitt himself had not officially met Swain, "You forget, when the Imperial Diet was convening, he was also there, and he sat with His Royal Highness Caterina." ”

"yes, I don't remember exactly. Alexander was a little suspicious, this part of the memory was vague, and the impression of Swain was very vague, "That earl is not bad, he has only been in the imperial capital for a few months, and he has hooked my daughter into a daze, and he dares to talk back to my father, I really can't see that he has the ability to take down the heads of Michel VII and Beria." ”

Prime Minister Pitt bowed his head slightly, and the topic made him feel very embarrassed, after all, this was Alexander's family matter, and he was not very easy to beak. However, keeping his head down did not mean that he could not see Alexander's expression, and carefully examining the face of the crown prince, Prime Minister Pitt also remembered another thing in his heart. As Prime Minister, he naturally frequented the Tiamat Palace, so it was easy to get some information from the court attendants, such as Alexander's dissatisfaction with the fact that the eldest princess was close to Count Jericho.

"It should be said that the tiger father has no dog son, Viscount Jericho is so heroic, his son will naturally not be far from bad if he wants to come to the ability. Thinking of Wood's previous entrustment, Prime Minister Pitt still said a word for Swain, although he also knew that Swain and Ernest were actually incompatible, "His Majesty Nicholas I instructed you on his deathbed to give Viscount Jericho an official title, and at the same time promote the title of Count Jericho to duke, this time their father and son have made great contributions again, you might as well promise them this last time, I think their father and son will be grateful to you and serve you more loyally." ”

Alexander nodded slowly, although he still had some nostalgia for Caterina's affairs, but for Ernest who came to his rescue in time, the crown prince was grateful from the bottom of his heart - of course, he didn't know the conflict between Jericho's father and son.

"So be it, then, when these things are done, and when these things are done, I will ask you to bother more in this matter, and think of a knighthood suitable for Ernest. As he spoke, he pursed his lips again, and asked with some reluctance, "Do you think Karin and Count Jericho are compatible......?"

"Your Highness," interrupted Alexander in a loud voice, "it's the Duke of Midnight." ”

"All right, Duke. Alexander wrinkled his face, looking not very pleased, "So, what do you think?"

"It's indeed a very good marriage, but I don't know if Her Royal Highness the Princess and Count Jericho are willing. After all, the duke was still a little younger, although he had always behaved very maturely and steadily. ”

"Do you think so......"

Alexander frowned, he was more concerned about the threat that Caterina showed to him than Swain, and even, in this daughter, Alexander always felt that he saw the shadow of his deceased father, Nicholas I. Therefore, if Katerina can be married off by marriage, then her reputation will be much weaker.

Thinking of this, even Alexander couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart, maybe Beria put too much pressure on him, so that Alexander was a little sloppy, and even his daughter was suspicious.

Maybe I'm too nervous, Alexander thought to himself. Although there is not no empress in the history of the empire, it is a very special situation, after all, the male priority inheritance law is not too beneficial for the princesses, even if Karin really shows her strength as the head of a country, it is difficult for her to bypass her two younger brothers, and in addition to Alexei and Paul, there are also Beria's sons......

"Beria's son......" Alexander couldn't help but read aloud, and he suddenly remembered that he did not know the situation of Beria's children.

And hearing Alexander muttering such a sentence, Prime Minister Pitt couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart For a moment, Alexander remembered this matter, it was not a good thing, even if the crown prince was quite tolerant of his nephews and nieces in the past, but this time Beria openly confronted him, and made the imperial capital so miserable, the crown prince and the cabinet had to escape from the imperial capital, just this hatred, even if Beria was not killed by Swain, Alexander would not let him go, and now that Beria is dead, maybe Alexander will implicate his anger on his children.

"Your Highness, we should go and meet Baron O'Brien!" Prime Minister Pitt hurriedly changed the subject to attract Alexander's attention, "O'Brien has also made great achievements this time, and you should give him and all the troops participating in the battle corresponding rewards, so as to comfort the hearts of the soldiers on the front line." ”

Hearing Prime Minister Pitt say this, Alexander really focused his attention on Baron O'Brien.

"I heard that this time it was O'Brien who took the initiative and defeated the 50,000 Ministry of the Interior troops and the Southern Army in the western suburbs, and turned the situation around?" Alexander frowned, although victory was good news, sometimes it was not a good thing to be too active under his command.

"Yes. Prime Minister Pitt glanced at Alexander cautiously, although Alexander now seemed less irritable than before, but his suspicion was still not much less, "After the attack on Tiamat Palace, the military camp in the western suburbs judged that Germany had been blocked, so they elected Baron O'Brien as commander-in-chief to command the whole army. Now it looks like they're doing a good job. ”

Prime Minister Pitt deliberately concealed the matter of Swin and Katarina, and the report given to him by the staff officers in the western suburbs did not mention the "strong support" of these two Barons O'Brien, but, considering that Alexander seemed to have a lot of affection for these two men just now, the old prime minister decided not to say these words.

"O'Brien—" Alexander exhaled, took a few steps forward, and took the reins from the hands of the court attendants, "This family has been restless since the time of the Duke of Dungal, and it was the leader of the rebels during the Revolution, well, I don't know why, but this family is always so lucky, and after every rebellion, it will be spared." ”

"But now they're really fighting for us. Prime Minister Pitt reminded, "Moreover, they will never have a chance to fight against us again, will they, the family without territory, although honorable, is already a tiger with a tooth removed." ”

"But they are still in charge of the army. Alexander stepped onto his horse and looked at Baron O'Brien and Munster's army who came not far away, with a meaningful expression, "Who knows, what will they become, whether it will be the next Guderian family, or the next Beria." ”

Prime Minister Pitt wanted to say something, but Alexander had already driven his horse towards Baron O'Brien in front of him.

Seeing this baron, Alexander changed his expression again, full of smiles, as if it was a very joyful and relieved thing to see Baron O'Brien, as if he had not doubted the O'Brien family just now.

"Isere. The crown prince affectionately called the baron by name, "The battle you fought in the western suburbs was beautiful, and you really deserve to be a descendant of the Duke of Dungar!"

Baron O'Brien hurriedly dismounted, bowing his head in fear, of course, despite the appearance, he was still proud in his heart. After all, no one can deny the merits of this time, and the O'Brien family is about to usher in another spring.

"It's all thanks to the courage of the whole army. Baron O'Brien said modestly, "Now that the rebels have been defeated, please ask Your Highness to ascend the throne as soon as possible to avoid recurrence." ”

Alexander nodded, a look of satisfaction on his face, indeed, now for Alexander, Beria is dead, the obstructor of his succession no longer exists, and hurrying to the throne is the first thing he needs to do now.

"At the moment, the imperial capital is still a little small, but there is nothing to worry about. Baron O'Brien continued, "All the men of Munster, Connaught, and Yanwan will do their best to protect you, and no one will be able to harm the holy Giangyans, so rest assured." ”

No one can hurt Gion?Alexander smiled, but had another thought in his heart. Isn't this just one dead?

"That's right. Alexander looked in the direction of Tiamat Palace, "Since you control the imperial capital, what about Tiamat Palace, why is there no news about Guderian in the report?"

Baron O'Brien was stunned when he heard this, and his face showed embarrassment.

"This, Your Highness, actually...... We don't know exactly what's going on at Tiamat Palace. ”
