Today is a rare warm winter sun, but Lampari XIII did not choose to enjoy the sun in the back garden of the kingdom as usual, but hugged the thick goose down quilt, half lying on the bed with a full three layers of futon, slowly flipping through the text in his hand.

Demar, the personal guard officer on the side, looked at Lampari XIII's pale cheeks, which could barely see any blood, his eyes flashed with deep worry, and he tried to persuade Lampari XIII to rest, but he opened his mouth and did not speak, but turned up the magic lamp in the room a little brighter, so that Lampari XIII could see more clearly.

"Hey, this kid Eric, what a bunch of pig teammates. Lampari XIII finished reading the text in his hand, sneered, and turned his head to look at Dema. "Delmar, has Sevigny been doing anything these days?"

De Ma was slightly stunned, thought about it and hurriedly replied: "Her Royal Highness has been in Bangta City during this time, and she is busy with the overall renovation project of Bangta City. Some time ago, the canal connecting the Sandy and Rum rivers in Bonta City was officially opened, and she went to preside over the ceremony herself. ”

Lampari XIII nodded slightly: "Bonta City is developing very well, if every city in the kingdom can be as worry-free as Bonta City, then why do I need to worry about the threat of the Sark Kingdom." ”

De Ma hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, to tell you the truth, although the one who has contributed the most to the development of Bangta City is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but if it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Wangnu's strong support for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not have developed so smoothly." ”

"What, are you trying to remind me of Sevigny's good eye?" said Lampari XIII chuckled.

"Your Majesty is wise, you must be able to see it. Delmar hurriedly lowered her head.

Lampari XIII snorted: "I know what you're trying to say. But Delmar, you should also be well aware. Even if I wanted to officially establish Severny as the heir to the throne. There will also be a lot of opposition. And you should be equally clear. Why would those guys object. ”

De Ma smiled bitterly, "Because His Royal Highness the Prince can guarantee their interests, while His Royal Highness is more concerned about the interests of the entire kingdom and the improvement of the lives of the common people. ”

"So...... I have to give Severny enough time to protect her and become stronger. Only she ......"

Lampari XIII suddenly coughed violently.

Delmar hurriedly picked up a cup of water that was just warm and handed it over.

After taking two sips of water, Lampari XIII frowned and pointed to a cabinet across the bed.

"Go get that. ”

Dema was taken aback: "Your Majesty, you have to eat less of that thing, your body ......"

Lampari XIII's eyes widened, and Delmar immediately obediently came to the cabinet. Take out a small jar from it and pick up a small red pill from it.

Taking the pill from Delma's hand, Lampari XIII showed a self-deprecating smile, coughed violently for a while, frowned, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

A moment later, a flush appeared on Lampari XIII's face, making him feel as if he had become so energetic that he even stopped coughing.

Delmar looked at Lampari XIII, who had regained his spirits. The worry in his eyes intensified a little.

Lampari XIII closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After opening his eyes again, his eyes shot a few fine lights, as if he had returned to the moment when he was in the prime of life a few years ago, and became the king who made everyone in the kingdom awe from the bottom of their hearts.

"Dema, bring a pen and paper, and issue three royal decrees. ”

"First, order the Third Army of the Kingdom Garrison Corps to march to the city of Sewell to closely defend the northern border and prevent the Kingdom of Sark from invading south. After the Third Army entered the city of Sewell, it was subject to the local control of the city of Sewell, and the city of Sewell was also burdened with armaments. ”

Hearing the first command, Delma's eyelids jumped.

As soon as this order was issued, it simply meant that the Third Army of the Garrison Corps had become the exclusive city guard of the city of Thurwell.

Not only would the Third Army be nominally controlled by the local city of Thurwell, but its armament would also be borne by the city of Thurwell, and the lifeblood would be captured and killed by the city of Thurwell.

How could a city lord like Count Satsuma, who was known for his shrewdness, not understand the meaning of His Majesty the King and firmly grasp the Third Army in the palm of his hand.

"Second, order the Council of Nobles of the Kingdom to conduct a nobility audit of Eric, Sevigny, and Durant. As the king of the Lampari Kingdom, I will officially crown the three as crown princes and have the right to crown princes. ”

Hearing the second order made Delmar frown deeply.

Although these three princes and princesses have the status of crown princes from birth, this is only in name, and they only have this name without a formal audit by the noble council, but they do not have the relevant rights.

For example, as a crown prince, they will have the right to sit in the royal parliament, and they will not be able to formally participate in the royal parliament until they have been audited for their noble status.

Among these various rights, the most important one is that before they officially became crown princes, although the three princes and princesses had personal guards, these guards nominally belonged to the king and were assigned to them by the king to protect the safety of their children.

After officially becoming the crown prince, the three of them have the right to own their own personal guards.

Unlike ordinary nobles, princes and princesses with the status of crown princes can have up to 5,000 personal guards, and they have the right to open recruitment.

In other words, as long as he officially becomes the crown prince, and the prince and princess are rich and powerful enough, they can organize an elite personal guard that is completely their own.

This personal guard can be said to be the core force of the three princes and crown princes, and it is of great significance.

Although it is the tradition of the Lampari Kingdom to let the prince and princess who have the right to inherit the throne obtain the status of crown prince and organize a private guard before deciding on the heir to the throne, in the history of the Lampari Kingdom, it is generally the reigning king who has determined the throne and become an adult, and in order to train the heir to the throne, the crown prince status will be given to the heir to the throne.

And now Lampari XIII has not established an heir to the throne at all, but has chosen to make all three princes and princesses have the status of crown princes, which has only appeared three times in the history of the Lampari Kingdom.

And in these three times. Each time it has had very bad consequences. The strictest zhòng even caused civil strife throughout the kingdom.

After that. No king would have chosen to do so.

Delmar hesitated for a moment, but after all, he couldn't help the heavy doubts in his heart, and said to Lampari XIII: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is ...... I'm afraid it's not right, aren't you worried about the mess?"

Lampari XIII glanced at Delmar and replied lightly: "Who do you think this order has had the greatest impact?"

Delma was stunned, thought about it, and suddenly realized.

Judging from the current situation in the Lampari Kingdom, although Prince Durant also has the right to inherit the throne. However, no one thought that he was qualified to compete for the throne with Prince Eric and Princess Sevigny.

And because Prince Eric has the support of many old nobles in the kingdom, although there is no personal guard on the surface, he can actually influence the command of the army quite a lot.

In addition, this time he was transferred to Luolun City as the city lord, and obtained a part of the power to deploy the Zhenbei army, which made the military power in his hands skyrocket.

On the contrary, the princess of Severny is rarely involved in military power, and the only thing she can use at present is probably only a part of the guards sent to her by His Majesty the previous king.

Even if the other nobles who supported Princess Severny could provide private troops, they were undoubtedly much worse than His Royal Highness Prince Eric.

So this order, in the final analysis, had the greatest impact on the princess of Severny.

Suppose the princess of Severny could recruit five thousand personal guards. Then the power she possesses will undoubtedly get a great boost.

What's more, Sevigny has the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As a result, her personal guard will definitely be far superior to other armies in other kingdoms in terms of armament.

However, Delmar's worries did not diminish in the slightest.

Although His Majesty's order indirectly strengthened the power of the princess of Sevigny, wouldn't this be tantamount to officially pushing Prince Eric and the princess of Severny to the opposite side?

It's like...... I'm afraid that they won't be able to fight each other......

Delmar looked at Lampari XIII, whose face was calm and his eyes were shining, and he couldn't believe that this kind of order, which seemed to him very mediocre, came from the mouth of Lampari XIII.

However, the habit of accompanying Lampari XIII for many years made him write down the order honestly, and did not dare to refute it out loud.

Seeing the doubts on Delmar's face that could not be hidden at all, Lampari XIII smiled slightly, and did not intend to explain, and after Delmar recorded the second order, he paused and continued: "Third, let the Kingdom Commercial Agency re-examine and review the countries surrounding the kingdom, and make a report on the feasibility and safety of trade with the neighboring countries. ”

Delmar was stunned again, but he didn't expect the third order to suddenly turn to business.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to fully open up the kingdom's foreign trade?" Delmar asked.

Discussing this kind of issue, Delmar's tone was much more relaxed.

"That's right. Lampari XIII nodded. "The reason why we didn't let it go in the past was because our kingdom was backward compared to other countries around us, and if we let go, it would only allow the merchants of other countries to squeeze out the money of our kingdom's people. And now...... But it's our turn to earn their money. ”

Dema's expression was a little strange: "Your Majesty, you have too much confidence in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? They are the only chambers of commerce in our kingdom that really have an absolute advantage over other countries, but with them alone, I'm afraid they can't afford this heavy responsibility, right?"

Lampari XIII snorted softly: "Xu Yi, this guy is much more daring than you think. Even without the support of the kingdom, he would have extended his hand to many surrounding countries. Now I'm helping him with this, just to let him develop a little faster, lest he stay in the kingdom and maybe one day he will be swallowed by those guys. ”

Delmar frowned and looked at Lampari XIII, thinking to himself, Your Majesty, you are worried that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be swallowed by people if it stays in the kingdom, so don't you worry that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will go to a place outside the kingdom and be swallowed by those more greedy and ruthless guys in other countries......?
