In the royal palace of the country of streams, in addition to the king of Gao Le, there are also the Queen Mother Mona and a young princess Kona.

Although Monnar was over sixty years old, because she had been living a pampered life, Monnar's whole spirit was still in a relatively young state, and like a young man, she was very fond of ornate decorations and clothes; Kona is an older sister who is two years older than Gao Le, her personality is quiet, she has not talked much, and she is always very well-behaved by the Queen Mother's side. The two of them were also the only remaining relatives of Gao Le in the palace.

But Gao Leke never expected the two of them to be of much help to him. For Gao Le, the two of them are already thankful that they don't cause trouble for themselves.

Sister Kona is okay to say that because of her personality, she usually doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble; But the Queen Mother Monaco is not easy to say. Although the atmosphere of the King of the Stream's Palace has always been very weird, the Queen Mother, who has not grown up for decades, is full of eating, drinking, and pleasure, and really has no scheming at all. In addition, during the years of Gao Le's absence, the king has been in poor health, so part of the power has been transferred to the queen mother. Those ministers who control the government are very happy to coax her in front of the Queen Mother, and they often fall into the trap all of a sudden, and the Queen Mother simply has no ability to distinguish right from wrong.

And it's just that he doesn't have the ability, Mona still feels very good about himself, thinking that Ming Chaqiu doesn't say anything, and always makes decisions arbitrarily according to his temperament, it can be said that the current situation of the country of the stream, the queen mother is responsible for a large part of the responsibility. But she didn't know it yet, thinking that everything was still under her control.

So this is also the reason why when the Queen Mother appeared in front of Gao Le, Gao Le felt so helpless.

As soon as Monnar saw Gao Le, he showed a distressed expression, and then hurriedly stepped forward, holding Gao Le's face and said, "Oh, how long has it been since I came back and lost so much weight!" Why are you so desperate? If there is anything for Robin to do, why do it themselves? How distressed I must be if you're tired! ”

Gao Le smiled helplessly. He had already heard something wrong from Monk's words, so he asked, "Did they go to look for you just now, Robin?" ”

Monnor replied, "Don't blame them, Robin, they're good boys." They also care about you when they do this, listen to my mother's advice, stop worrying about these little things, you are the king now, and you are going to do big things! ”

"I see, Mother." Without a hint of explanation, Gao Le casually dealt with Monnar.

Because Gao Le understood that for his confused and self-righteous mother, no explanation was useless, and she only believed what she believed to be. And she's clearly been brainwashed by Robin and them now. So even if Gaule said something to Monnar now, I am afraid that Monnar will soon reach the ears of Robin and them, and then the situation will be even worse. So Gao Le simply didn't say anything, didn't explain anything, just echoed it, and he could also paralyze the other party with it.

"By the way," said Monnar, "it's been a few days since you've been back, and it's time to pick a close friend who will be by your side and do things for you." I think Robin and the other children are very good, can you quickly order one from among them? ”

Gao Le replied calmly: "No, it's enough for me to have Lin help." ”

Mona glanced at Lin, and then said with some disdain: "What can he do?" One...... People who are flawed in appearance are really difficult to wait for elegance. Not to mention that he looks so weak that he can't help it, where can he protect you? "In fact, when Gao Le and his party first returned to the country of streams, Monnar's attitude towards Lin was quite good. But it didn't take long for her attitude towards Lin to become contemptuous,

Of course, Gao Le understood that it was Robin who was instigating the Queen Mother behind their backs, so he had to say calmly: "I just came back not long ago, and I don't know much about Robin. Lin has been with me for almost ten years, he is the person who is most familiar with my thoughts and habits, and no one can do it better than him so far. And although Lin is not strong, he is at least a mage. I think Lin is more capable of keeping me safe than Robin and them. ”

Seeing that Gaule was right, Monnar had no choice but to give up. But her dissatisfaction with Lin in her heart became more and more profound.

These days, although Valentine's power has gradually stabilized, this is still a drop in the bucket for Gaole. After all, Valentine is a false prophet, so he can't predict some things with the confidence of a real prophet, and he has to worry about whether his identity will be revealed at any time. In addition, the ministers were also very wary of the prophet on the king's side, and often came to test him, and even prevented him from meeting with Gaulle, so the progress on Valentine's side was not very smooth during this time.

Now Gao Le finally understands the desperate state of mind of Gao Ze at that time, and finally knows why Gao Ze cared so much about Valentine, the prophet, in the first place.

At that time, Gao Le was too young to understand what was happening in the court of the country of streams. And because Gao Ze is a few years older, he has learned about the current situation of the country of the stream since he was a child, and knows that it is difficult for him to change this status quo, so he can only hope for other people.

But it was too late. Gao Le returned to the country of Jian without knowing anything about the inside story, so he really didn't have any psychological preparation at all. How can the mess left by the old king end?

In recent times, the entire continent has not been very quiet. Not to mention for the time being, after the decline of the national strength of the Moon Country, many local wars took place in its surroundings, causing gunsmoke to break out and the people were struggling to survive. Recently, even the highlands and the country of the Heavenly Glow, which are close to the country of streams, have already shown signs of fighting a full-scale war, and it seems that this is the so-called unpredictable world!

Of course, Gao Le and Lin knew what the reason for the dispute between the Highlands and the Heavenly Glowing Country was, so they also admired An An and them very much, and they were really very bold and backbone!

And the problems that the country of streams are facing now are actually much more difficult than the country of the heavenly glow. The country of Tianying is close to the sea and is still rich in products, so although there is a suspicion of uneven regional distribution, on the whole, there is no problem for the people to mix food and clothing. However, the country of the stream is directly sandwiched between the country of the moon, the highlands and the country of the heavenly glow, and the property is relatively scarce, and its own family background is relatively weak, so the life of the people has not been very good. However, the ministers relied on themselves to control the government, increased or decreased expenses at will, and still lived a very arrogant and lascivious life. After a long time, the national strength of the country of Jian has been empty, and the nobles who control the government are all powerful and rich.

Gao Le knew that if he wanted to change the status quo, he had to start by changing his finances. But how easy is that? How could ministers, who had long been accustomed to a life of luxury, be willing for the king to reduce their power? Therefore, the contradiction between Gao Le and the ministers will only get bigger and bigger, and one day it will have to be settled.
