"First, there must be no chaos in the palace. Although the Imperial Forest Army has been mobilized. But after all, I was the one who gave the orders in place of my mother. The name is not right, and now that you are back, brother. Naturally, you need to re-order the order to convince the Royal Forest soldiers. ”

"Article 2. Send more people to secretly monitor the various powerful mansions in Dìdū. If there's something unusual in the city. The wind blows. We all have to get the news in time. ”

"Article 3. But it is also the most difficult one. "Speaking of which. Karina's voice was lower: "In the temple, even if we hide it, it will be difficult to prevent the spread of news, so. There is still some news to be released to stabilize them. According to my meaning, it is better to spread the rumors directly. Just say that their father is indeed sick, so they can't guess how serious their father's illness is!"

"Article 4. The army subordinates of the troops in the city. This is going to be done in two steps. ”

Karina is so young, and this is said at this moment. But not dissatisfied. Although his face was immature, in his words, he was calm and calm: "These two steps." The first is the dìdū security station, which has 10,000 soldiers. This 10,000 people is also a very large force, and we must firmly grasp it, and there can be no chaos! The current head of the Public Security Bureau is a close confidant of his father. It was believable, but ...... I think that everything needs to be prepared with a little more preparation! You can't just pin all your hopes on one person. I mean. Go and find Baron Sach, who is now in the Treasury Department, but after all, he is the previous head of the Dìdū Sheriff's Office. Naturally, there is some prestige in the Public Security Bureau, and some old subordinates also obey him! Temporarily remove him from the Public Security Bureau, and arrange a random name, just saying that the Finance Bureau sent him to count the military salaries of the local Public Security Bureau this year.

After a pause, Karina's eyes flashed: "The second step is the most important step! It is the Imperial Guard! There are nearly 60,000 troops in total, including 8,000 Imperial Forest Army." There are 10,000 security bureaus, and all the rest are the Wangcheng Guards! If you can't firmly control the Wangcheng Guards...... I don't need to say the consequences. Brother, you also understand, I remember the coup d'état a few years ago, it was because our uncle controlled the guards of the Diwang City, that caused that big chaos! Although the guards were later purged by my father, many people were installed. But. This kind of time. There is nothing wrong with being cautious, and the best thing to do is to install a few important ministers who are absolutely loyal to us to suppress the scene...... The little princess looked embarrassed: "It's a pity." I don't know much about that. I don't know who can be trusted...... And in terms of candidates, loyalty alone is not enough, it must also have prestige in the army, otherwise. Even if it is sent. In case something happens. I can't stop the scene. I think about it, but there is a way. ”

Charlie couldn't help but be shocked by the strategizing and calm momentum of this young sister, and subconsciously followed her and asked, "What way?"

"Transfer!" A faint smile appeared on the corner of Karina's mouth: "It's a transfer! Don't let the army stay on her own garrison!" That is, half of the army of the East City Gate is mobilized to go to the West Gate! Half of the army of the West City Gate is mobilized to go to the South City Gate! Half of the army of the South City Gate is mobilized to go to the North City Gate! Half of the army of the North City Gate is mobilized to go to the East City Gate...... And so on! At least half of the army is not local! In this case, if someone really buys off the people in the army, I don't believe that others can buy off all the commanders of several city gates! Make sure that half of the garrison of each city gate is from outside! In this way, even if some generals want to make trouble, only half of the ground soldiers are left. Half of them were under the watchful eye of outsiders...... In this way, we can't make big waves!!"

Charlie couldn't help but be in a daze when he heard this. And at this very time. Suddenly. From the bed came a weak and low voice:

"Good!"

Both children were startled and looked towards the bed at the same time. only to find out. It turned out that the regent had been in a coma, but he didn't know when he woke up.

Prince Chen was still lying so weakly, his face was pale, but he finally opened his eyes, and in his eyes, there was no longer the look of everything in peace. It's just, under that hint of weakness. But there is still a majesty of the king's land!

His lips trembled slightly, as if it had taken a lot of strength, before he slowly spoke: "Good way." ”

Prince Chen's eyes fell on the little princess Karina. There was some appreciation in his eyes.

Two children at once. Karina's face immediately showed surprise. He threw himself in front of the bed. Crying out: "Father. You're finally awake!"

Charlie seemed to be stunned, and knelt in front of the bed, with grief on his face: "Father......"

Prince Chen sighed softly and glanced at his wife in front of the bed: "Pick me...... Sit up. ”

The queen was stunned for a moment. Just about to say something. Prince Chen's eyes seemed to be a little colder: "Let me sit up!"

Although he is critically ill and weak, the momentum of dominating everything is still irresistible. The queen was helpless. I can only pick him up quickly. Another pillow was stuffed behind him.

Such a slight movement. But it had already made Prince Chen so tired that he almost exhausted his strength, and after he sat up. It took a long time for him to calm down and recuperate. Only then did he reopen his eyes and look at Karina, his eyes were full of doting: "Good boy, you are very smart, I am very relieved." Very gratifying. ”

The voice was not loud, but it said that Karina's heart was sour, and tears flowed suddenly.

Prince Chen stretched out his trembling hand and barely wiped it lightly on his daughter's face. Wipe away tears. Wen Yan smiled: "You avoid it first." I have something to say to your brother. ”

said. Glancing at the queen sitting on the edge of the bed, the queen immediately understood, and pulled the little princess out of the curtain.

At the bedside, only this father and son were left.

The father and son glanced at each other, and Emperor Chen's eyes were a little complicated. There was warmth in those eyes. There is doting. More but a deep worry!

"I ......" for a long time. The Imperial Land Lord spoke slowly, his voice still weak: "I didn't expect it either. I'm going to fall so quickly. He raised his hand. It barely landed on Charlie's head. Gently stroking Charlie's hair, his eyes were full of the kind of father's warmth for his children: "I originally thought that I could support more rìzi." If it can last another year and a half, the north will ...... Northern...... Ahem...... The war in the north is stable. At that time. You...... You're a little older, too. When you're a little older, when you're thirteen or fourteen, I'll give you an early one. Hold a coming-of-age ceremony. At that time...... You are pro-government. So. That's pretty much it. ”

Charlie's heart trembled, and he couldn't help crying: "Father...... I ......"

"It's a pity. It seems that I can't support it anymore. Prince Chen shook his head: "It's such a big stall now." There are still many things that I haven't done, so I'll just throw them at you, and let you carry them on your little shoulders. I ...... in my heart Heart. It's a little worried!"

As he spoke, he sighed. Worried.

Charlie raised his head and was about to say something, but Prince Chen shook his head: "Don't speak, I know what you want to say." You're a smart kid, but I'm your father. What you've been thinking about. Of course I know it all. ”

Charlie couldn't help but turn a little pale in his face, and his heart became terrified.

"It's too urgent. I'm in such a hurry. Prince Chen's smile was a little bitter: "My biggest regret is." I didn't be able to train you personally. Pity. I fought my brother back then. I can swallow my anger for ten years! Secretly arrange the next one by one. In the end, he was allowed to carry out a coup d'état. That's when he took advantage of the situation. In one fell swoop! Your sister just said something that won my heart, that is, 'you must keep an extra hand for everything'! Back then, I relied on one by one the hole cards and the back hand. In the end, I fought my brother. Hey...... said. Prince Chen looked at his son, and a faint disappointment flashed in his eyes: "It's a pity...... You are my son, but you have not learned half of my patience. Alas, you're in too much of a hurry, too anxious......"

Subsequently. Another flurry of painful coughing and wheezing.

But. The disappointed look in his eyes flashed away, and Emperor Chen tried his best to cheer up: "But." I'm not dead after all, and there's still some time. Can I give you one last hand...... Son. You come here. ”

Charlie was stunned for a moment and leaned over, but Prince Chen stretched out his hand. hugged his son's shoulders, and his pale face showed a somewhat complicated expression: "I...... It's been a long time since I've hugged you. ”

Feeling his father's weak embrace, Charlie was still young after all. Finally, I burst into tears.

Prince Chen whispered in his ear, "I have a few things to tell you. You have to keep it in mind. Remember not to disobey it! As long as you sit down as I say, the imperial power will be firmly in your hands! Do you understand?"

Glancing at Charlie and seeing the kid nodding, Prince Chen slowly continued: "First, you remember how big your heart is, how big the world is! There is only one city in your heart, then you can only control one city at most! If you have a province in your heart, then you can only control one province at most! You can control the world! That's the first one. You remember.

Article 2. The bigger the incident, the more calm you must be! The more calm you are, the greater the thing you will do!

Article 3. It's just some details, you remember the person Alpayi! He is a knife I left for you! You can use this person, but you can't trust him! Even if you hold him up to a higher position in the future, you must leave restrictions to limit him! You must not really trust him! Understand?

Article 4. That's what I'm most worried about...... Alas. I had wanted to hold on until I had laid a solid foundation for the war in the north. Pity...... But you keep one thing in mind. War in the North. You don't meddle. You're young after all. Fighting a war. Leave it to those who know how to do it. Rostock this person. More than steady, but not talented, find an opportunity to transfer him back to dìdū to be a deputy minister in the military department, the northern theater of operations. Du Wei is the main and Alpayi is the secondary, and there will be no big problems.

Fifth, Du Wei and Alpayi. You have to take turns using it. To use one is to depreciate the other. If you step on one, you have to hold the other! Can't let one of them be too strong. You can't let the other one be too weak, the art of balance, you can think about it more. ”

Speaking of which, Prince Chen was a little tired. He sighed, "That's all there is to say. There are too many words, it is useless if you can't understand it for a while, as long as you keep this in mind, at least there will be no major problems in the next few years. The rest will survive these years. When you grow up, you're on your own. ”

Charlie had wiped away the tears at the moment. Bow your head and recite it firmly and silently a few times. But he hesitated for a moment and raised his head. Be bold: "Father...... You told me how to do it to Alpayi. So...... Teacher, how do I get there......"

Prince Chen understood. The son said "teacher". Naturally, it refers to Diduvi.

He thought about it. But he also smiled a little bitterly: "Du Wei is this person." I've been watching him. But I haven't been able to see through it, but there is one thing, I can be sure, that is...... He won't turn against you, he's the man. Somewhat cunning. But in general, it's still emotionally important. The ambition may be a little, but it is not big. What's more, I've left you a knife. It's Alpayi! There's Alpayi. There was a restriction on him. I have another way to tell you, ...... in the future."

There was a pause. Prince Chen smiled: "Your aunt, Louise, you don't have to interfere in her marriage, listen to Du Weidi." ”

This confession. But Charlie was a little dazed. He couldn't help but look at his father and was stunned.

"Hmph. I really don't know about Louise in the Northwest...... But that's fine. Hussein is a descendant of Du Weidi, and Louise can marry him. It can also bring him closer to the royal family. It's also good for you, as for the face-saving thing. Don't worry about it so much. ”

As he spoke, Prince Chen stared at Charlie firmly: "Your teacher is a complicated person! You can't force him too hard! I asked myself, except for me, no one else is his opponent." But as long as you don't push him, he will really help you do things!"

"But a little bit ...... ago," Charlie couldn't help but ask again.

Prince Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. glanced at his son and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: It's a pity, this kid is still a little behind after all, these words, if it's Karina. Maybe you don't need to say it so clearly.

Thinking of this, he shook his head: "Don't say it." You only remember one. Pro-Duwei, use Alpayi, the word 'pro' and the word 'use', you spend more time thinking about it. If you still don't understand. Privately, talk to your sister more. Although she is young, she is still a little smart after all, and she is your sister again. is the person you trust the most. ”

After all that is said. Prince Tatsu seems to have exhausted all his physical strength. Finally fell backwards. Sighed: "I'm tired. That's all I want to give to you. Remember for yourself. ”

Charlie closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then a moment. Open your eyes. He glanced at his father again. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice: "Father, in terms of military power, you confess to my own teacher." With Alpayi. I remembered. But...... What about Wenchen?"

"Huh?"

Prince Chen listened. Looking at his son's eyes, he finally showed a little relief and appreciation. He couldn't help but shake up: "Okay! I didn't expect you to think of this." Originally, I was going to do it myself, so I didn't have to tell you to ...... Still, this thing. No need for your cāo heart. Naturally, I'll take care of it for you before I die! Hum...... As long as Wenchen has no head, he doesn't have to worry. These guys are most afraid of letting them huddle together, as long as they have no head. It can't be a threat. ”

Charlie hurriedly retreated. I saw my sister and mother standing on the side of the main hall and walked over. Karina glanced at Charlie: "Father." I've confessed to you......"

Charlie nodded: "Well, I confessed." ”

Karina smiled reluctantly. Suddenly, he walked over. Took Charlie's hand. He whispered, "Brother." You have to be a good emperor. In the future, this one. You're the pillar!"

Charlie's heart suddenly welled up with a sense of pride and pride. nodded vigorously: "Naturally, everything has me!"

But then, he immediately woke up and showed such emotions. It seemed that something was wrong, and he looked back at the big bed hidden behind the thick curtain, and saw that there was no movement on the bed, and then he was reassured. The face reappeared with sadness.

It was until the evening. The queen and the princess went back to rest. Their mother and daughter have been here for two days and two nights. Charlie couldn't bear to be so tired from his mother and sister. forcibly ordered them to go back to rest, and stayed here to guard.

At night, in the main hall. A red-ground figure flashed in. Don't say hello to Charlie either. But it was like a gust of wind. Floated to the bed of Prince Chen.

That red robe is the mysterious chief magician of the palace, and it is also the most trusted subordinate of Prince Chen in the palace!

"Your Highness. The red-robed mage stood beside the bed. He shouted in a low voice.

On the bed, Prince Chen slowly opened his eyes. Lost eyes. After a while, he gradually regained his vitality, glanced at the person beside the bed blankly, and then returned to his eyes: "You are here." ”

"Your Highness. The red-robed mage suddenly knelt down, but there was a sadness in his difficult voice: "It's my incompetence...... You're sick. ”

"It's my life, and it has nothing to do with you. Prince Chen shook his head slowly: "You...... Found a way?"

The red-robed mage was silent for a moment. Then he took a deep breath: "I tried my best, but I couldn't find a cure for you. Now there are only the last two options, and I ......"

Prince Chen smiled and looked indifferent: "Say it." Which two options?"

"First...... I did my best, though I couldn't cure you. But it will keep you going until next summer......! In the meantime. You're afraid you'll have to support it as much as you can, and ......"

Prince Chen smiled: "And." You can only lie in bed like you are now, unconscious for most of the time, and occasionally awake for a moment, like a living dead, right?" Glancing at this subordinate, he said lightly: "I am also a magician. You don't have to worry I don't understand. ”

The red-robed mage paused. He continued: "The second way...... I've got a dose of a powerful medicine that will stimulate your vitality. It will get you up and back to normal in no time. It's like healed...... It's just that this medicine can only be maintained...... Seven days!"

"Hmm. Seven days later...... It's dead. Emperor Chen seemed to be talking to himself, but the red-robed mage gritted his teeth. Don't say half a word anymore.

Finally. Prince Chen smiled: "Even if you can prolong your life for half a year, what's the use of being a living dead in bed...... Well. Seven days. Seven days. It's enough for me to do. Very good. Seven days is seven days!"

His voice grew weaker and weaker. I almost ran out of breath.

He gasped for a moment: "I have one more thing for you to do! And you're going to do it yourself. Help me personally bring a sentence to someone! This sentence will rot in your stomach from now on. Got it?"

The red-robed mage quickly raised his head, made an oath, and cast another magic, which was regarded as a magic oath.

"Very good...... You go to the house of the old chancellor, Robschel......"

It was night, in the old prime minister's mansion in dìdū.

Robscair, the old prime minister of the Empire, was in the bedroom, this old man who was over seventy years old, although his health had been getting worse and worse recently, as if everyone knew. He will die of old age at any time, but he has always lived. After gradually relieving himself of his heavy responsibilities, he recuperated at home. The aging body is getting tougher little by little.

At night. The old man was holding a silk cloth. Slowly wiping a treasured wood lacquer carving, suddenly, in the corner of the room, in the dark. A red sè figure is slowly revealed!

There was suddenly another person in the room, but the old man didn't seem to be alarmed. Just holding the silk hand paused slightly. Then continue to wipe slowly.

The movements are still so gentle.

"Your Excellency, Old Prime Minister. The red-robed figure in the corner spoke softly.

The old man smiled faintly: "I am no longer the prime minister, so the chief mage does not have to be polite." ”

There was a pause. He calmly put down the things in his hand: "You came so late." It's something important.

"The Lord Regent asked me to come. Lend my mouth. A word to you. ”

The old man closed his eyes. A faint smile: "Say it." ”

The red-robed mage's voice was still so stiff and rigid......

"Jun served two dynasties. Rich and rich. Prestige all over the world. Is there still a shortcoming? Do you want to follow it?"

When the old man heard this, his brow seemed to move, but he opened his eyes and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. The cloudy old eyes. Look at the figure in the corner. A sentence came out of his mouth softly: "I am willing to go with His Highness." ”

The red-robed mage nodded and stopped talking. Moments later, his figure had disappeared from the room.

When the visitors left, the old prime minister had already stood up, and his face was solemn. Straighten his shirt and pinch the buttons. He pulled his hair back together.

The old man's face was calm. The eyes are even more peaceful.

Subsequently. He walked slowly to the cabinet and pulled a bottle out of the drawer. He said to himself lightly: "Your Highness is really wise, hum, Wenchen, if you don't have a leader, you can't hold a group, and you can't hold a group to the young emperor." There is no threat. Very good. Your Highness is very smart......"

As he spoke, the old man poured something out of the bottle. I put it in my mouth. He calmly put the bottle away, and then slowly walked to the chair in the middle of the room and sat down, assuming the most comfortable posture in a flat room. When you close your eyes, it's like closing your eyes......

And then. Fall asleep.

Second rì, dìdū message:

Huan Hai for a lifetime. There were countless people, and the old prime minister, Lord Robschel, who had the highest prestige, finally died of illness.

The old man walked peacefully. It is said that he died in a dream without illness or pain.

While the body was being collected, the family saw it. The old man on the ground. Wuzi also had a calm smile.

That smile...... It's deep. It's serene. It was calm and content.

When the news reached the palace, I was in my room and slept all night. The little princess Karina just got up. I couldn't help but be stunned.

Next to her, Lan Lan was combing Karina's hair, but the little princess seemed to say to herself: "Old man." Sure enough, it's smart...... He went, but instead kept his family rich. ”
