Leo sighed slightly, since everyone did not approve of Sidney as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, then he could only give up, and it would be counterproductive to persist any longer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Leo went on to name another candidate: "The second recommended candidate is my general, named Michel Ney, who is cautious, loyal, thoughtful and resourceful, and commendable in his own martial prowess, and is a very rare all-round talent under my command. ”

"Is this Mr. Ney the gentleman of yours who has a mustache and looks very aristocratic?" Nick asked when he heard Leo say this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke.

Prince Nick's question made Leo chuckle in his heart, thinking that it was bad, this guy Ney must have made his own decision again, and went to contact the royal family of Lorraine on his own, hoping that he would not make any more trouble.

"Yes, Your Highness Prince, Ney is exactly what you describe. Since Nick asked, Leo could only answer stiffly, praying secretly in his heart.

"That's great, I've spoken with that Mr. Ney before, and he has a very unique insight into the command and strategic deployment of the march, as well as the situation in each country, and even I have seen him instruct the Praetorian Guard soldiers in martial arts. I think he's definitely the right fit. "Yes, if his loyalty is not in question, I also think that this Mr. Michel Ney is more than qualified for the post of Commander of the Praetorian Guard. Nick and Peake looked at each other and agreed with Leo's proposal for Mr. Michelle Ney.

A hint of panic flashed in General Laurent's eyes, he did not expect that Leo's proposal for an unknown nobody would be approved by the two princes. At the moment, General Laurent didn't care about any reserved demeanor, and hurriedly slandered: "I don't think it's appropriate, the position of the commander of the Praetorian Guard is related to the safety of the entire royal family, if you rashly let a person of unknown origin take such an important position, once there is a problem, then the consequences will be unimaginable." Although my talent is not high, the reason why the first king appointed me as the commander of the Praetorian Guard was also based on this consideration. ”

Although General Laurent had a point, his angry desire to ruin the matter made the queen frown secretly. A person with a strong utilitarian heart and a love for power is obviously not suitable to continue to lead the Praetorian Guard, which is very clear to both the queen and the two princes, so General Laurent's performance at this time is the key to really burying his future.

"As for loyalty, I can guarantee that Ney has absolutely no problem. When I was in the Varu Empire, Ney was responsible for managing my finances and maintaining relations with the major powers in the imperial capital, and it can be said that he was extremely proficient in the internal and external affairs of the nobles and the royal family, and when I was falsely accused of rebellion, Ney did not hesitate to quickly deal with all the financial problems for me, and left behind the rich and comfortable life of the imperial capital without hesitation, and followed me here, doesn't this show his good character and loyalty?" Leo's words really touched the heartstrings of the queen, and it was a quality worthy of admiration and praise for a woman who could not abandon her master in times of crisis.

"Since the Duke of Leo has confirmed the qualities of this Monsieur Michel Ney, and we can recognize his abilities, there is no hesitation, and we approve of the appointment of Mr. Michel Ney as Commander of the Praetorian Guard. The Picknick brothers agreed in unison, which made the queen also make up her mind, first, that General Laurent was really useless, and second, that Leo's recommended candidate was approved by the princes, so the queen had nothing to hesitate about.

Poor General Laurent now swallowed Leo's heart alive, but his cowardly nature made him dare not do anything transgressive, and he could only grit his teeth with hatred, but did not dare to take action. For General Laurent's swearing behind his back, Leo Ke didn't care at all, although the Lorraine royal family did not use Sidney, but with Ney in them, then the Lorraine royal family is basically controlled by himself, which can give the future development an extra insurance.

Jalaman was watching from beginning to end, and he saw today's play very clearly, Leo wanted to infiltrate his forces into the Lorraine royal family, and the queen and the two princes could only rely on the strength in Leo's hands to restore the country, and there was no way to resist at all. Without King Fairman's Lorraine, the queen, a gentle woman, could not support the overall situation, and the two princes were young and ignorant, and they believed in and admired Leo. As a minister of state, he can't do much, so he can only pray that Leo is not the kind of wolf ambition who eats the lord.

It is extremely dangerous to maintain the future of the royal family on Leo, but now the royal family of Lorraine, who are in exile in Valu, cannot get out of the current situation at all, and Leo is the only straw in their hands that can grasp it. King Fairman had seen this very thoroughly, so he preferred to recruit Leo at the cost of a principality to pave the way for his son.

Since he had promised King Fairman, Leo naturally would not regret it, because it was a win-win situation after all. Not long after the royal family discussed, the news of Prince Pique's succession to the throne came out, and the succession procedure was very simple, just inviting some ministers and nobles of the Kingdom of Lorraine, as well as Leo, Wagner, father and son, and others to watch the ceremony, and it ended hastily.

The dismissal of General Laurent and the inauguration of Michel Ney were carried out in secret, firstly to save some face for General Laurent, and secondly, because Ney did not want to attract attention with great fanfare. However, after Ney took over the Janissaries, he devoted himself to rectifying military affairs.

Originally, although General Laurent was also doing his best, it was a pity that due to his lack of talent, and the Lorraine Kingdom's reliance on magicians was too great and despised the training of ordinary soldiers, so although these Praetorian Guards were selected from the elite of the Lorraine army, they were just third-rate troops in Ney's eyes, and there were too many items that needed to be trained.

However, there is not much time left for Ney to train the Praetorian Guard, and the death of King Fairman will inevitably cause the entire Varu Empire to covet the royal family of Lorraine, and it is urgent to return to the old land of Lorraine.

The day after Peake Fellman succeeded to the throne, William hurriedly came to inform Leo that the Imperial Inspectorate was going to set up a number of branches in the three southern provinces to strengthen the monitoring of the three southern provinces, which was clearly aimed at the people of Lorraine who lived scattered in the three southern provinces.
