As the sun gradually set, the fiery clouds in the sky looked beautiful. The two old guys www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion are still 'watching the scenery' in the city. It seems that the old duke had been quite wise to get a chair, and he had been chatting with Charles Navarre Bourbon, Duke of Burgundy, for almost an hour without a word in the city!

"Doesn't it feel like you're pointing out the country here?" the Duke of Burgundy's gaze rested on the slightly laid-back old duke.

"Are you kidding me?" the old duke glanced at the Duke of Burgundy.

"Isn't it nice to be able to see all your people here and see them living and working in peace?"

"You're talking about a sense of accomplishment. The Duke of Burgundy glanced at the fiery clouds in the sky, and when he was in Reims he seldom looked at the sky, his gaze was more focused on the ground.

"Say whatever you want, old man. The dinner party is about to start, so let's drink less. The old duke sat up from his chair, patted his former rival on the shoulder, and inadvertently took the flask from the Duke of Burgundy's hand.

When the old duke walked down the wall, Charles Navarre de Bourbon, Duke of Burgundy, was still above the city, and to be honest, he drank very little, but he could not drink more than he could find someone to talk to here.

"Young man, 'That's good'. The Duke of Burgundy repeated this sentence again, but this time his tone was significantly different from the last time, and I don't know why this time he could feel a strong mockery from this sentence.

――――

In the far northern court.

"What did you say!" snapped, and the blue-and-white porcelain wine glass was knocked over to the ground.

"What is he doing in Sintra!" the young emperor was so furious in his splendid palace that he smashed one of his favorite drinking utensils.

"You say!" the young emperor grabbed the collar of one of the ministers at the bottom of the stairs, and the unscrupulous actions of the Grand Duke of Burgundy disturbed him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please calm down. "An old man stood up, and if he didn't show up with his colleagues, he would be 'unable to protect himself'. What the angry emperor will do, I believe that no one in the main hall will want to know.

"You say. The young emperor let go of the minister's collar, and he also sensed his gaffe.

The young emperor's tone softened slightly, and the chief minister, dressed in a blue robe, knelt down on his knees.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, the old minister is guilty!" the chief minister's head bowed deeply.

"Don't talk nonsense!" the young emperor clenched his fists, he was now on the verge of exploding.

The Chief Minister glanced at His Majesty with his eyes slightly, and he knew that if his movements were any slower, His Majesty the Emperor would really explode.

"Ahem, the old minister thinks that your majesty, your uncle, Charles Navarre Bourbon, Grand Duke of Burgundy, must be thinking about the interests of the Reims Empire, and his private visit this time..."

Before the chief minister could finish speaking, the young emperor broke out completely.

"What the hell is the use of me raising you!" the young emperor even kicked over a chair beside him.

"Get out!" roared the young emperor angrily, he hated these people for doing nothing, he hated why he was always inferior to his uncle in the eyes of these people!

The young emperor's courtiers were amnesty, and they rolled at a surprisingly fast speed, and in a short time the old men ran away.

"Didn't he tie us to the 'only' chariot in doing so, and he was roasting me on the fire!" the young emperor sat alone in his chair facing the deserted hall, stroking his forehead with his hand. His head hurts, really hurts.

The deserted hall was not empty, except for the wooden attendants in the corners, and an archbishop in red robes with a cross in his hand.

"This bunch of garbage is gone, tell me what you think. "The young emperor was very unhappy that his uncle had disrupted his 'elaborate' arrangements. Originally, the empire had secretly negotiated with the Weimar Confederation, and the two countries had a secret agreement on the civil strife of the Kingdom of Galicia, which was not suitable for publication, but the current emperor of the Reims Empire, Arthur de Bourbon's own uncle, Charles Navarra Bourbon, the Grand Duke of Burgundy, personally disrupted all his plans. How could this keep His Majesty the young Emperor from being angry and angry. This is why Emperor Reims, who was as noble as Emperor Reims, could speak the vulgar words of 'Old Puffer', and his private relationship with the Grand Duke of Burgundy was already close to irreconcilable.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Grand Duke of Burgundy is playing with fire, his power is all over the court and the opposition, and he almost takes his will as the will of Reims. "The only cardinal left was the red man in front of Arthur VIII, who was very good at figuring out the thoughts of his young majesty.

Go on. "Arthur VIII was finally able to hear some of the 'human words', and he was more willing to listen to the words of these religious people who did not have great power but were of high status than those who were old and important. Those who were in the period of the first emperor, under the suppression of Arthur VII, who had the title of the great, those spokesmen of the divine right who had almost fallen to the bottom, they returned.

The cardinal archbishop carefully observed His Majesty's expression, for those who had survived that era, every position beside the young emperor was important. (PS: The Reims Empire was directly appointed by the emperor as an archbishop, and the real power of religious suppression was very small, and now it did not pose a threat to the royal power at all.) ）

"I thought—" The cardinal's voice fell, but looking at His Majesty the Emperor's gradually soothing expression, he must have said a clever plan. ’

"In the name of Arthur VIII, Charles Navarre Bourbon, Grand Duke of Burgundy, was appointed as envoy to the Empire, giving him the right to act cheaply. The young emperor soon issued an edict that he intended to add the de facto emperor uncle as the plenipotentiary envoy of the empire, and as for the Weimar Confederation, he had his own arguments.

'Every one of you does not trust me from the bottom of your heart, you are all indulged in the 'great' era that my father started, and I will let you know whose era is truly great!' The young emperor was full of pride, believing that under his rule the Reims Empire would surpass his father's time.

The cardinal quietly withdrew from the main hall, he did not disturb the 'ambitious' Emperor, he did not care too much about how much he had benefited from the Reims Empire in this conversation, but the only thing he cared about was that the day of the restoration of the glory of the Lord was getting closer and closer.

Following Arthur VIII's first edict, and soon the second edict was issued, His Majesty the young emperor appointed the Imperial Cardinal Justin Welby as governor of the six southeastern provinces, with full responsibility for secret negotiations with the Weimar Confederation.

The young emperor's idea was very good, but he didn't do it well enough, he only saw the small profit in front of him, he only saw the Weimar Confederation was willing. Gift' which desert island, he only saw how much gold the Weimar Confederation was willing to pay, and the young Emperor His Majesty was still a little shallow after all, he never thought that when a pro-Weimar Confederation of Galicia appeared, when a ring of the Kingdom of Galicia and the Toledo Empire formed by the Weimar Confederation, a century-old feud of the Reims Empire, was formed, and when the Reims Empire was really in danger at that time.

In fact, His Majesty the Young Emperor did not think of such a simple truth, most of the nobles in the empire thought about it, but they all chose to remain silent, for most of the nobles, they only cared more about their own fiefdoms, as for who is the current Majesty? They don't care so much. But His Majesty the young Emperor took the silence of the nobles as a tacit approval of his actions. This led Arthur VIII to underestimate the gravity of the situation, believing that the contradictions between the Toledo Empire and the Kingdom of Galicia were so great that it was impossible for the two countries to reconcile and form an alliance. He was conceited, and he felt that the nobles who had subservient themselves to the Emperor would do the same, with the exception of his own uncle, the 'enemy of all enemies'. The young emperor thinks that he has a good hand in his hand, how can he not make the empire more 'great'?!

However, the young emperor forgot one thing, yes, he did fight for the interests of the country, and those were the ones that would be realized in the near future. But he forgot, or maybe he was too greedy, so greedy that he ignored the potential dangers of his country. There is never any irreconcilable contradiction between countries, provided that there are sufficiently large interests.

The bustling streets of the Reim Imperial Capital were bustling with traffic, and a luxurious aristocratic carriage had been deliberately stripped of its status coat of arms.

"Your arrival, Queen, has made the shop flourish. "The bald boss has tried his best to curry favor with the noble ladies of these kingdoms who are the 'food' they live on.

"Less sycophancy. The queen covered her face with a folding fan, and she showed only those beautiful eyes.

"Tell me what's new. The queen put away the folding fan, and the shopkeeper did not dare to look at it, for he was afraid that he would make any gaffe when he saw the beautiful and unbelievable queen.

"Look. The owner of the luxury store had prepared a gift box for the Queen's selection, which contained magical treasures peculiar to the Orient, and he was confident that the Queen would like it.

"Well, if I'm not satisfied, I won't come back next time. The queen seemed to be in a good mood, and she had the leisure to make a little joke about the bald boss.

"To your satisfaction, I have carefully selected it for you. The bald boss's face was full of flattering smiles.

The queen stretched out her jade hand, and she gently opened the gift box.

"Wow!" even though she was the queen of the Reims Empire, she was momentarily distracted by the contents of the box.

It was a 'pearl of the night' the size of an egg. When the queen opened the gift box from the East, her gaze never moved again.

"I want it. The joy in the queen's heart was shown on her face, which was a little gaffe for an elegant noble lady, but it also showed that the queen really loved this treasure from the East.

The bald boss carefully wrapped the gift box. "The price may be a bit high. ”

"Just put the amount of money on my account. "As far as the queen is concerned, she has never cared about money, and the money of the treasury is not her money. The queen couldn't wait to take the gift box, and she had to go back to her palace to have fun.

At the moment when the queen took the gift box, the bald boss sneaked a glimpse of the queen's amorous eyes, and he was unstable and almost ruined his big business.

After the queen left, the bald boss was still complaining about his poor concentration.

"That's a rare beauty. THE BALD BOSS STILL COULDN'T SUPPRESS THE LITTLE WOCHUO THOUGHT IN HIS HEART, AND HE SWALLOWED A MOUTHFUL OF FOAM UNCONSCIOUSLY.

The queen's carriage was driving down the avenue, and she was anxious to get back to her palace, and the gift box was held tightly by the queen in her hand, as if she was afraid that it would run away on its own.

"Pilot!" the carriage driver stopped, and the knights around him began to draw closer to their master.

"What's going on?" the queen was dissatisfied, and she wanted to return to her palace as soon as possible to play with the Night Pearl.

The queen opened the curtain of the carriage, only to see some hungry people blocking the road ahead.

"Who are they?" said the queen, pinching her nose, and the stench of the men seemed as if she could smell it now.

"Report to Your Highness, that is a refugee who fled from the north, and there was a flood in the north of the imperial capital a while ago. The chief knight who guarded the queen replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then why are they stuck here. The queen's face was filled with unconcealed disgust.

"There were people in front of us who were giving soup and there was a scramble among the victims. The chief knight looked at the hungry victims, and he was not happy to come from a poor peasant family.

"Isn't it just a bowl of porridge? Why don't you let them eat cake?" the queen motioned to disperse the crowd quickly, she was really anxious.

All the knights looked at each other, but they did the queen's order, and the coachman raised his whip, only this time more to disperse the plague ahead.

"This bunch of garbage is gone, tell me what you think. "The young emperor was very unhappy that his uncle had disrupted his 'elaborate' arrangements.
