It was only Devine who came.

This made Yang Wei a little uneasy in his heart.

He originally thought that Director Ino would appear at this moment, and the series of words he had prepared before could only be rearranged at this moment.

The paper-thin alloy door in Yang Wei's eyes slowly opened, and Daphne, who was wearing a fluffy long dress with a top hat and scarf, nodded to Yang Wei with a smile.

Two maids stood guard outside the door, and Daphne entered alone, the alloy door closing slowly.

Yang Wei showed a tired face, fastened the top two buttons of his shirt, and looked up at Her Royal Highness the beautiful princess.

"I didn't expect to meet here."

Yang Wei shook his head and smiled.

Daphne bowed gracefully, then sat down at the corner table and said softly, "I didn't expect that Uncle Eno would send me a letter to come here to see you." ”

"Director Eno?"

Yang Wei frowned slightly: "Does he have any instructions?" ”

Devany smiled lightly: "Uncle and grandfather said that he didn't expect that you would use this method to refuse the kindness of the Sherman family. ”

She's cheating.

Yang Wei's first reaction was to smile bitterly: "The director should know better than anyone else, I care about this opportunity very much." ”

"But you were very resistant," Devine's ice-blue eyes seemed to speak, revealing a little cunning, "and now it's useless to say that, my father gave up the sword, and the hero of the empire withdrew." ”

Yang Wei asked: "Your Highness came here at this time, just to taunt me a few words?" ”

"Of course not," said Daphne, "Uncle and grandfather asked me to come and ask you a few questions. ”

Yang Wei nodded: "Ask." ”

"These questions will affect your future, and I must remind you that you should consider and answer them."

Daphne seemed to have been trained by the court ceremonies in every move, including her raising her hand to remove the earrings on both sides.

The two light blue earrings were gently pinched by her a few times, and they flashed with a faint light.

"From now on, the conversation between the two of us will be recorded by these two devices.

"To prevent us from hurting each other with the rest of our conversation, please choose an earring to keep with you as a secret we share.

"If you can't trust me, I can ask them to bring you your watch."

Yang Wei shook his head and smiled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you are laughing, how can I not believe you?" I was just...... I want my personal gear now. ”

Daphne nodded politely and turned to walk out the door.

After such a delay of two minutes, Yang Wei slowly put on the watch that had been checked several times, and took the left earring to his hand.

"Your Highness, what do you want to ask?"

"It's my uncle's question," Devany said, "and he's investigating your possible connections to foreign powers." ”

Yang Wei frowned slightly.

Devany said:

"Uncle and grandfather said that there were two questions that he couldn't understand, the first problem was timing, the timing of the kidnapping was too clever, especially when the royal family began to hype up the scandal between you and me, and a series of anti-white ghost public opinion suddenly appeared in the empire.

"My uncle and grandfather asked me, who likes to play with public opinion the most in the current empire?

"My answer is a white ghost."

"What does that mean?" Yang Wei frowned and said, "You mean, I sent someone to scold myself?" ”

"That's what I asked my uncle and grandfather," Daphne smiled gracefully and gently, "but my uncle told me that he couldn't find a motive for you to do this, and that you should be desperate for this opportunity, and that it is a very important duty to you, unless you ......"

Yang Wei's eyes narrowed slightly.

Devany laughed, "Unless, at the same time you invest in the empire, you also invest in other powers, the New Federation, the United Free Ones, the Güell League, or a few other countries in the top ten in terms of power. ”

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders: "This is a bit too high for me." ”

"Uncle and grandfather also think it's unlikely, you don't have enough time, he also studied the suspicious objects in the top ten powers, and didn't find any politicians similar to you and who have sprung up."

Daphne paused, with a little doubt in her eyes:

"I don't quite understand what my uncle and grandfather said, can you help me clear up?"

Yang Wei groaned a few times: "This is confidential, Your Highness Daphne, when you finish asking me the second question, I will consider whether to answer you." ”

"I can actually ask my uncle and grandfather."

Daphne smiled softly:

"The second question your uncle asked you, you shouldn't have cared so much about Hanton's parents, but you insulted the emperor for the sake of this couple.

"You know His Majesty the Emperor, he will behave very open-mindedly in front of the people, but he will be careful to hate you, this is a bad moment that he has not had in nearly a hundred years, this will make him nervous, as long as he sees you, he will think of those three words, you will simply lose the opportunity to develop in the Emperor Star.

"Why?

"The above are my uncle's original words, and I don't agree with his evaluation of my father."

Yang Wei rubbed his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "The director should know the answer to this question, why do you want to ask me again?" ”

"Uncle and grandfather want to hear your answer."

Yang Wei's thoughts turned sharply in his heart.

In front of him, in front of the recording device, Daphne said that her father was nervous and cautious.

This is actually a sign of sincerity, and she will make sure that the recording is not circulated.

But after careful consideration, Yang Wei still pressed the hidden button on the watch.

A few faint arcs of lightning flashed, and white smoke billed from the two earrings on the table, the buttons on Daphne's chest, and the hairpin she had hidden in her long hair.

Devany smiled and asked, "Why?" ”

"I think your uncle and grandfather didn't let you record, you just want to have more of my handles in your hands," Yang Wei smiled, "Now we can talk openly and honestly." ”

Devany opened her hands: "Don't you search me?" ”

"No, I'm confident in my gadgets."

Yang Wei tapped his fingers on the dial a few times, and a shield wrapped the two of them.

Yang Wei said: "At that time, I didn't have many thoughts in my mind, yes, I have great respect for my parents, but compared to my responsibility, I can really sacrifice them." ”

The corners of Daphne's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she remained polite and did not interrupt Yang Wei's words.

Yang Wei sighed:

"I thought that if I chose His Majesty's fame and sacrificed my parents, it would collapse my credibility with the people.

"I care more about what the people think of me, and this is also the fundamental reason why His Majesty will use me again.

"The Empire can create more powerful super-reformers at any time, but there are not many combatants who can be recognized by the people and have their own military deterrence.

"Public opinion and popular trust are my political foundation, and Your Majesty's reuse and reward are just branches of this foundation, if it were you, would you protect your own foundation or protect this achievement?"

"Foundation," Devina whispered, "but I might take a different approach, like how to make the people feel that your parents should be sacrificed. ”

"My parents are also citizens of the empire, and in a certain environment, they are a group of citizens," Yang said, "This actually hides an equivalent problem, when the empire is in crisis, whether I, the hero, choose to save the people or the nobles." ”

Devany was thoughtful.

Yang Wei said: "The current situation, it's just that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like me anymore, if my guess is right, my territory and rewards will still be issued normally, and Your Majesty will give me these benefits with great fanfare." ”

"Didn't you think my father could take it back at any time?" ”

"Yes, he can do that," Yang said, "but as long as my public opinion card doesn't collapse, he won't do it." ”

Devany said quickly: "The emperor of the empire can actually not care about the feelings of the people, and the solid military power and technological barriers make the possibility of a rebellion in the empire almost zero. ”

"This is not the emperor's idea, His Majesty has been on the throne for decades, and he wants to get very little now, historical positioning, public recognition."

Yang Wei leaned forward and stared at Daphne:

"Every emperor who wants to become a Ming monarch and leave a name in history will regard his reputation as greater than his actual benefits.

"Material desire is the lowest pursuit, spiritual satisfaction is the greatest desire, the emperor's desire, do you really understand?"

Devany was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, "In other words, you made a decision after comprehensive consideration?" ”

"In fact, it was the garbage robbers who scolded the emperor."

"But this is already the most serious deterrent loss of imperial authority in the modern history of the empire."

"Maybe this is the biggest purpose of the layout," Yang Wei said in a low voice, "From this point of view, the authority of the imperial emperor has declined, who has the greatest benefit?" ”

Daphne whispered, "Great noble? The New Federation? ”

Yang Wei said: "I don't know, but I've been thinking about a question now, who can meet the industrial base needed by those warships." ”

Devine bowed slightly: "I will follow your answer and tell my uncle and grandfather as it is." ”

"Thank you."

"Why thanks?"

Yang Wei smiled bitterly: "You can still be a messenger, so that Director Yino will not give up on me completely." ”

"Uncle and grandfather also had to consider my father's senses, so he didn't come to see you directly," Daphne said, "Can you help me?" Why, you desperately need this power. ”

Yang Wei lightly spit out two words: "Secret." ”

Devine frowned slightly, but still restrained, subtle, and elegant.

She said, "Now you can rest assured, my father has no intention of letting me marry you for the time being." ”

Yang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

That's it!

Devany pursed her lips and glared, her expression looking like she was angry.

Yang Wei spread his hands and said: "I have a girlfriend, and I love Catherine very much." ”

"Yes, Earl Hanton!" Daphne stood up and saluted gracefully, "It was a great chat today, and I hope we can have the opportunity to explore these topics in more depth next time!" ”

With that, she removed the buttons and hairpin, placed them on the table, and turned to walk towards the iron door.

"Your Highness, go slowly."

Yang Wei looked at it and couldn't help laughing when he saw the back of Daphne walking away quickly with her skirt in a huff.

That's it?

Still fighting him?

I couldn't hold it out for two rounds.

But then again, will the two guys Hanyin and Hanxiang be implicated by him?

The old emperor should not be angry with the two of them.

……

"It's not fair!"

Inside the palace of the Fallwind Empire, Emilia walked back and forth clutching her metal sword.

"It's absolutely not fair! It was the emperor who asked him to say it, and he said that the emperor would punish him! Is there such an emperor as him! Brother, you can't be tough and protest directly diplomatically! ”

"Exposing our relationship with him will only make him more passive."

Edwan sighed helplessly:

"You can rest assured, he will definitely be fine, the ruler of the empire's system cares most about public opinion and public opinion.

"The ideological erosion of countries such as the new federation has made everyone aware of the concepts of democracy and freedom, and the imperial network is still a unified structure.

"Levy Sherman once told his children that the only thing that can tear an empire apart is public opinion, and when the people want to leave, the empire will cease to exist.

"So, he's definitely fine."

"But the old emperor of the empire is now a faint monarch, he is a faint monarch!"

Emilia thumped her chest angrily:

"The faint king can do anything, and now he may be being hung up, whipped with a small leather whip!"

Edward: ......

"Uh, is that the little leather whip I was thinking of?"

"What?" Emilia didn't know why, "Isn't it flogging?" ”

"Ah, yes," Edwan squinted and smiled, "If you believe that your brother and I, the little emperor, have a little bit of insight, then you can wait here in peace, probably ...... I'll count the time of the Emperor...... In another seven or eight hours, you will be able to see a grand investiture ceremony. ”

"Honors?"

Edwang pushed the retina protector and said slowly:

"I can't guess the specifics either, but this event needs an ending.

"When public opinion is tired of praising the emperor, and when the people's enthusiasm for the three words "big stupid" fades, this event should come to an end.

"My assumption is that His Majesty the Emperor will take back most of the White Ghost's authority, then reward him with titles of nobility that sound bluffing but are actually useless, and then give him a rich fief to leave the Emperor for a while.

"If that's ......"

Edwan smiled: "Then I probably know who planned this incident." ”

"Who?" Emilia blinked.

Edwan rubbed the tip of his nose: "This is confidential...... By the way, if you have time, you can visit Uncle Hatton of Yang Wei, the energy tycoon, but one of the pillars of our downfall. ”

"Mysterious," Emilia rolled her eyes, "I'm back to class!" ”

"Remember! Don't do anything! ”

"Got it!"

Edwan laughed twice and continued to look down at the projection file.

It's another day for model workers.

……

Yang Wei slept a lot in the cell.

When he was awakened by a knock on the door, he got up and shouted 'enter', and Hanyin and Hanxiang hugged their two clothes and stepped into the cell dejectedly.

"What's going on?"

Yang Wei asked happily:

"My parents were rescued, why did you two wilt."

They have been with each other for a year, and although these two subordinates are not qualified in Yang Wei's opinion, their friendship is also deep.

With a faint sigh, he briefly told what had happened before.

They were removed from the Tentacles.

This is actually in order to protect the two of them, if the two of them continue to return to the palace, the emperor may throw fire on them when he sees them.

Now in the palace, all elements related to the white ghost are being quickly cleaned up.

Yang Wei smiled dumbly: "Then you two will continue to follow me, I will still pay you a salary as usual, and you can also continue to pass some information back to the tentacle organization." ”

"Why are you so good to us," Hanyin threw a dress on Yang Wei, "Although this maid is unemployed, she is also principled, and she will never become your mistress casually!" ”

"Look," Yang Wei spread his hands, "what did I say?" You are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. ”

Hanxiang wondered: "What is a gentleman?" ”

"It's a man who is well-behaved, polite, principled, reasonable, and knowledgeable," Yang Wei pointed to himself.

"Then you don't have anything to do with the gentleman," Hanyin snorted, "hurry up and change your clothes, a large group of people are waiting outside, the Elders' House and the military department are coming, and they want to award you medals and promote your rank, and Your Majesty also has a will and reward." ”

Yang Wei asked: "Live broadcast? ”

"Of course."

"Go get me an Imperial uniform," Yang said, "I want a camouflage uniform for the ship-based commando." ”

Hanxiang immediately agreed, turned around and ran away.

Hanyin muttered in a low voice: "In the future, I will depend on my sister for my life, if I want to be discovered, you will attack my sister, be careful of my ......"

"Can you beat me?" Yang Wei asked rhetorically.

"Me!"

"Just be honest, am I so?"

Yang Wei sneered: "I changed my name in the future, don't call me boss!" ”

"Boss? What is this vulgar appellation? ”

Yang Wei didn't bother to argue with her, and began to untie his collar by himself.

Hanyin took the initiative to come over and help Yang Wei take off his shirt, and naturally performed the duties of a maid.

More than ten minutes later.

Dressed in military uniform, Yang Wei stepped out of the main cabin of the noble court ship and arrived on the foredeck, which was shrouded in a transparent shield.

The foredeck was filled with flowers, with hundreds of soldiers forming the outer perimeter wall, and dozens of media reporters sitting in several rows.

Directly in front of Yang Huan, more than a dozen etiquette ladies were holding trays, and the acting chief elder of the House of Elders and the two powerful bigwigs of the Imperial Military Department stood there with a smile, bowing their heads lightly to Yang Huan.

Hanyin and Hanxiang stopped, letting Yang Wei enter the spotlight area alone.

There was warm applause around, and Yang Wei's 'bitter' face squeezed out a little smile, barely cheering up.

He had seen the contents of those trays.

Honorary Titles, Military Ranks, Medals of Nobles, Military Medals, Administrative Star Fiefdoms, Imperial Coin Rewards, Private Fleet Formation Authority......

Although the rewards are very rich, this also means that Yang Wei's journey to the emperor star this time has come to an end.

Yang Wei suddenly wanted to laugh.

This old emperor, who wanted to save face, slapped him himself, and he even had to say thank you.

Well, this must be a stroke in the history of the empire.
