Chapter 216: Deliberations
Gavin XIII can be said to be the most diligent except for the founding emperor of Valu, relying on his youth and strength to be full of spirit, and he almost always stayed up all night to deal with government affairs until all the government affairs were completed that day, and he never delayed it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć This kind of handling also put a lot of pressure on the ministers below, and they did not dare to delay and slack off at all, which made the operation of the central mechanism of the empire speed up a lot for a while.
When Leo walked into the palace in the morning and entered the main hall under the guidance of his chamberlain, Gavin XIII had just finished reprimanding a few ministers who had made mistakes, and when he saw Leo walking into the hall with his head held high, he hurriedly waved his hand not to worry about those ministers, and shouted with a happy smile on his face: "Leo, you are finally back, I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss it!"
Gavin XIII, who was entangled in daily government affairs, always remembered the ups and downs he had experienced with Leo in his spare time, as well as the experiences he had heard from Leo's mouth, and he was eager to replace them, and that was also the time when Gavin XIII longed for the happiest every day. Now that Leo has finally returned to the imperial capital, Gavin XIII seems to have changed from the hard-working emperor back to the teenage introverted boy in an instant.
Some ministers who had never seen Leo in the main hall looked at His Majesty the Emperor in amazement, and then looked at the rumored Marquis Leo, and they didn't seem to expect that Marquis Leo was so important in the mind of His Majesty the Emperor.
And those self-proclaimed high-ranking and powerful senators and nobles were quite blind to Leo's favored vassals, and they all turned their faces away from Leo, only Nathaniel and a few other people who had some contact and friendship with Leo would greet them with a smile.
Among them was Duke Solo, who suddenly figured it out last night, and seeing that Duke Solo actually smiled at Leo for the first time, and even had a hint of appreciation, the patriarch Nathaniel standing next to him was extremely surprised by this, when did this stubborn and rigid old guy be so kind to people, could it be that Leo used any magic on him?
Leo stepped forward unhurriedly, and replied calmly after performing a noble salute to Gavin XIII: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss Your Majesty very much, but it is really gratifying to see Your Majesty's wise and martial appearance now!"
Leo's words made Gavin XIII's eyes red, after losing his father, Gavin XIII's heart only had this Leo who was not a relative but a relative, as a spiritual pillar, and now Leo's praise made Gavin XIII feel that all his efforts were worth it, and this sense of recognition made Gavin XIII's heart feel hot.
"Ahem!" Seeing that His Majesty's expression was a little wrong, and the patriarch Nathaniel, who was afraid that the emperor would lose his temper in front of everyone, coughed heavily, he said: "Marquis Leo, this time I urgently summoned you back to the imperial capital, there is an important matter that requires you to personally go out to share your Majesty's worries!"
"Oh!oh!yes!yes!" Gavin XIII came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and hurriedly cleaned up his mood, and said to Leo: "Leo, now the situation in the countries of the continent has changed abruptly, and the Paris Empire has suddenly risen, and it has shown great aggression, which is also a threat to our Waru Empire, so a few days ago, a plan was decided at the court meeting, and the most suitable person is only you who are the most suitable!"
Leo asked calmly: "It is my duty to share the worries of His Majesty, but I don't know what the plan is?"
Gavin XIII did not rush to answer, but swept among the ministers in the main hall and said: "The ministers of parliament stay, and the others are busy with your own business!"
Hearing His Majesty's order, many ministers who were not in the hall bowed down and saluted, leaving only some high-ranking ministers in the hall. After all the idlers in the hall had left, Gavin XIII spoke: "Leo, the plan made a few days ago is like this, the Minister of State will form an alliance with the Kingdom of Lorraine, and then take advantage of the war between Paris and Lorraine, try his best to recruit those Lorraine magicians who are hiding from the war, if you can get their magic research materials and results from Lorraine, anyway, you must not leave the magical resources of the Kingdom of Lorraine to the Paris Empire." ā
After hearing this, Leo thought to himself for a while and then said to Gavin XIII: "Then if I carry out this plan, can I go to war with Paris? Can I fight with the Kingdom of Lorraine? ā
"This can't be done!" Before Gavin XIII could speak, the Minister of State immediately objected: "Since we have formed an alliance with Lorraine, then we naturally cannot repent of the alliance, how can we go to war with Lorraine again? ā
"I'm just saying that if this war will involve three countries, and everything that happens at that time can't wait for His Majesty's decision, even if we are allies of Lorraine, then we still have to dig their corners? Leo quietly rolled his eyes at the Secretary of State, this uninhibited style made Gavin XIII, who was in a high position, happy, Leo really did not change, he was still the bold guy.
"Well, what the Marquis of Leo said is also reasonable, then you will be in charge of the affairs between Lorraine and Paris, including the war, according to your request!" Gavin XIII did not wait for the Minister of State to refute him, and preemptively settled the matter.
The words of the Secretary of State were gagged in his mouth, and he was so angry that he looked at Leo and snorted, but unfortunately he couldn't help it.
"Then Leo, which legion are you going to take with you on this trip? Paris's knights are menacing and cannot be underestimated, and Lorraine's magical strength is also famous on the mainland, so it may be quite dangerous to turn between the two. Gavin XIII asked Leo for his opinion.
At this time, those old nobles were no longer the same as before, and they all stood up to say that the Blue Wolf Legion needed a stable place, and that the Black Tiger Legion needed to change their clothes and take turns to rest, and they were unable to send troops one by one.
Gavin XIII watched with a dark face as these old nobles who relied on the old and sold the old to dismantle their own platform, and his heart was extremely angry and ashamed, they actually let themselves be so embarrassed in front of Leo, it was simply hateful and damned.
"Everyone!" Leo also looked at the noisy senators and nobles with a cold face, and interrupted them loudly: "I don't need the empire to send a single soldier!"
