Whether it's a trap or a sudden dizziness of the wise regent.

Anyway...... Du Wei's position as dean has already been decided. However, Du Wei still had some jǐng in his heart: at the beginning of the recent stage, the regent had already begun to arrange the balance of the imperial political situation on his own constraints, and raised an Alpayi general to balance his own family dominance, and now he ...... actually handed over this future emperor [**] academy to himself...... What the hell did he do?

He worked hard, pretending to be a lover in the ring, kissing Ailu, and pretending to withdraw from the competition, just to show his position and give up control of the Knight Guild and the Knights of Roland's Sword, and that step was very good, and from many indications, the regent was also very happy about his "knowledge".

Now this damn "Whampoa Military Academy", which one is it?!

——————————

However, a day later, Du Wei found out that he had fallen for Prince Chen.

When Camiciro came to visit Du Wei, and with a smile on his face, he commanded the guards to bring several large boxes of archives, and said to Du Wei with a harmless look on his face: "These are the biographical information of the training course personnel of the past generations, as well as the list of personnel who are qualified for training selected by our military for the next training course to be held...... Oh, of course, it should be called the 'Emperor's Academy' by now. These are the lists of the first batch of cadets, all of whom were selected by the local army. Their family, birth, age, family background. Military positions, qualifications, everything you need is here anyway. Of course...... The last box is about the investigation of the preparation of the college, including the site selection, the construction of the college, etc......"

Before Camissiro could finish speaking, Du Wei's eyes had already popped out.

He stared at Camisiro deadly, and suddenly interrupted this guy, Du Wei muttered depressedly: "I knew that this was on you...... No, it's you! ”

Camissiro smiled affectionately: "Don't say that. Du Wei, we are good friends, friends in trouble, you can't help it. ”

Du Wei looked at Camiciro's smiling appearance, and suddenly an impulse welled up in his heart, he wanted to jump up and punch this guy's nose!

"Help? you call me...... You call me *** how can you help!!" Although Du Wei didn't really punch Camiciro, he jumped up like an enraged lion, rolled up his sleeves, and kicked over the nearest box to him. Then he crossed his waist and glared at Camiciro: "You...... What do you think I am!Eight-handed spider!Am I busy! What the hell! That damn jousting tournament isn't over yet! And I haven't finished the preparations for that Roland Sword Knights! And two days ago, your people came to me to approve a new batch of military supplies. It was to be transported to the Kaspersky Line! and the Terran Mountain Warcraft, who told me that the hot air balloon production plant was running out of raw materials, and asked me to solve a large number of cowhide ...... as soon as possible I ......"

"Hey, hey, hey!" Camisiro raised his voice and raised his hands as if in surrender, "My friend, what you said has nothing to do with me, I didn't know you were busy like this." ”

"You don't know...... Our regent knows. Du Wei muttered in a low voice: "He did it on purpose." As he spoke, Du Wei kicked another kick, this time directly kicking a wooden box up, and sawdust flew everywhere. A few even splashed on Camisillo's face.

Seeing Du Wei dancing at Camesilo, the few guards brought by Camiciro next to him were a little nervous - this is worth it! Dare to do something to our family!

What kind of crime is this?

But the question is...... The other party is Duke Tulip, whose status and identity are better than that of his own family...... What can the guards do with this?

If the Duke really fights with our family...... Then a few of our guards can only stare dryly.

Camisiro suddenly sighed and casually removed a few pieces of wood chips from his face. His eyes were a little complicated, he glanced at a few guards, waved his hand and whispered, "You guys go out first!"

Several of the guards were pardoned. Quickly ran away.

Camisiro turned around and closed the door first, then turned around and walked to Du Wei's side, patted Du Wei on the shoulder, he hesitated, and then lowered his voice: "Du Wei, there are some things that I may not be suitable to say, but since we are friends...... So I'll give you a little advice. ”

Say. Du Wei squeezed a word out of his mouth.

"You ......" Kamisiro God Sè was a little weird: "I think you, should, appropriately, let go of some power." ”

Du Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at Camicillo - in his impression, this guy, although now known as one of the three newcomer kings of the empire, well...... Although he is the weakest of the three newcomer kings, he seems to be the weakest at the moment. But this guy Cammisiro has been very low-key in recent years, and whether he is dealing with people or things, he is clearly deeply influenced by the old Prime Minister Robustschane - Taoguang is obscure, and he is wise to protect himself!

Can be ...... today How did he say such a "heart-wrenching" sentence?

"As you said, Dewey, you have too much power in your hands right now. Camissiro laughed in a low voice: "You see, you have the military and political power in the northwest in one hand. Of course, the province of Desa is your territory, and it was yours. No one will say anything about that. But...... What about the Northwest dúlì division...... Hehe, outsiders don't know, I'm the vice minister of military affairs, don't I know yet? That's the future air force of the Empire! The empire has carved out a large area of land, sent a large number of men, formed such an army, built the production base of the hot air balloon, and produced weapons...... This is the army of the Empire. It's been almost two years since this army was annihilated by the Northwest Army, and for the past two years, this army has been in your hands! Isn't this power big enough? And the Kaspersky Line, you spent more than a thousand

to help the Empire build such a line of defense. What I said last time was a little bit very good at the military in the Empire. It's almost the same as taking your Du Wei salary! So many things, all in your hands...... You say, such a situation. Is it normal?"

Du Wei calmed down, smiled and shook his head: "It's not normal." ”

—

"I'll say a very perverse thing, Du Wei, with the authority and strength you have now, you want to have territory. If you want to rebel, you want money, you want an army...... Your threat has long exceeded that of the Northwest Army back then!" "Don't forget, outsiders don't know, but the top secret military situation inside, we all know that when the 70,000 main cavalry of the Northwest Army was annihilated." You only sent less than 10,000 cavalry from Longbottom, and you wiped out all the iron cavalry of the Northwest Army! With such strength, how can you rest assured that you let the 'big boss' above?"

Camisiro watched as Dewey's god changed. Then he found a chair and sat down: "I admit that the financial situation of the empire in the past two years was indeed very poor, and it was so bad that I had to ask you for money as a courtier...... But now two years have passed. The most financially difficult period has passed. Now there are savings in the Treasury and everything is on track. The snow disaster in the south is gone, the production has been smooth for two years, and there is even a bumper harvest in the south. The Regent's performance in the past two years has been quite good, and the imperial treasury has saved much more than in previous years. Do you want to ...... In this case. The Empire doesn't need you to feed the Empire's armies anymore!, you know what I mean?"

Du Wei snorted and laughed twice: "I understand, the regent sent the Northwest Dúlì Division to my subordinates. First, because of the Air Force matter, I am the only one in the entire empire who knows how to do it, and others can't do it at all. The second reason is that the empire did not have the money to build such a new army at the beginning, and I needed to spend money to feed it. Can ...... now Neither of these conditions exists. The empire is rich, and, in two years, they should have learned it. ”

"I know you're a smart guy. Camiciro leaned back in his chair and looked at Dewey with a smile.

Du Wei closed his eyes and thought for a moment.

That's the way it is!

Although he had spent countless gold coins to subsidize the empire's finances, tens of millions of gold coins were spent like water - and he also helped the empire raise an army for nearly two years...... From this point of view, it seems that the royal family has to accept a lot of favors.

But don't forget! Prince Chen has passed the exoneration of the Rollin family for treason. The restoration of the Rollin family, this matter can be regarded as repaying Du Wei! Moreover, in terms of status. It also gave Du Wei full honor.

In this way, it can also be regarded as a tie with Du Wei!

And now, one has been reviewed in the midst of the war. Proven combat effectiveness of a very powerful air force...... With such a new and powerful army, it is impossible for the royal family to continue to be in Du Wei's own hands, but it should be taken back and in the hands of the royal family, which is the right reason!

This is not crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, nor is it unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but a normal political means!

If you take a step back and think about it......

There will be a great war in the future! And before the big war, the prince must raise the majesty of the imperial power to the highest! In this way, the ruling position of the imperial family can be guaranteed!

And now...... If there is a big war in the future, there will definitely be turmoil in the empire, and in the turmoil, if there is such a powerful minister as Du Wei below, who has too much power in his hands, who can guarantee that Du Wei will not be able to disagree?

In other words, it is true that the earth is now to ensure internal unity, but for the royal family, their primary purpose is to ensure the dominance of the royal family! As for the life and death of all mankind, that is the second purpose, not the first one!

The royal family will do its best to protect this empire from being wiped out by aliens, but only if the humans are under the rule of the Augustinian royal family!

Du Wei knew very well that his current situation could be described as a standard "powerful minister"! Moreover, he was also a super powerful minister!

As Camiciro said, he wants to have territory, he wants money, he wants an army to have an army, he wants fame and fame (and even in some places, his fame has surpassed that of the royal family).

But the problem is that such a state seems to be infinitely beautiful, but it is really "dangerous"!

Du Wei, who is familiar with the general history of the continent in this world, knows one thing very well, whether it is in this world or his past life. In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, almost all "powerful ministers" refused to give up their power in the end. We must firmly grasp the authority in our hands. So. Ninety out of ten will end miserably!

For example, the ancestor of the Rollin family, more than 200 years ago, during the Great Patriotic War. He was highly meritorious, had great prestige in the army, was deeply trusted by the royal family, received the entire Lorraine Plain as a reward, and married a princess of the royal family.

But after the end of the war. The ancestor of the Rollin family was very smart and took the initiative to give up military power and give up direct command of the army. This ensured that the Rollin family was not hidden by the birds.

And Du Wei knew that in his previous life, in the world, almost all the powerful ministers in history either succeeded in rebellion in the end, or ...... It's a miserable end!

Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty...... One was whipped and the other was raided.

Of course, Du Wei himself is not afraid to his entity. If he finally turns against the royal family, the world is so big, where can't he go? But his subordinates. What about the faithful retainers of the family?

Longbottom, Gaida, Philip, Dardanelle...... Wait, blah, these people are not Saint-rank powerhouses! they're just ordinary people.

Prince Chen is already a very wise monarch. But because of his wisdom, he knows how to delegate power to his courtiers. But before dealing with the crisis, he must take back a lot of power, at least to ensure that the power and strength in the hands of the royal family is the strongest! Before the turbulent times in the future, he must ensure that he has enough chips in his hands to defend the royal dominance!

"I know, Du Wei...... You have made a great contribution to the Empire. Camiciro sighed: "I understand your feelings, because even if it were me, I would definitely not be reconciled." Do the math carefully

It can be said that you have supported half of the empire! The original coup d'état was a great achievement, and then the situation in the northwest was pacified, and the steppe wolves were blocked in the west. Clever planning, eliminated the hidden dangers of the grassland for the empire, and made so many magical things to annihilate the Northwest Army. At a time when the empire was in financial trouble, you selflessly supported the empire with your family's financial resources...... You can be said to be the first hero of the modern era of the empire. Now I want you to delegate power, as long as it is a person, there must be resentment in your heart. ”

Du Wei looked at Camisiro's sincere look, he suddenly smiled and winked at Camisiro: "Dear Camissiro...... I guess you didn't come up with these words to say to me yourself. ”

Camiciro was immediately stunned for a moment, his expression was a little embarrassed, but he quickly smiled, touched his chin, and admitted very dryly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you...... Yes, in my brain, I can't think of so much reason. Let's make it clear, there are many of these words, and the old prime minister said them to me, please convey them to you in private, so that I can persuade you well. ”

Du Wei laughed twice: "Lord Robschel? hehe, it seems that the Prime Minister really values me." ”

"Of course. The god of Camisiro was serious: "Du Wei, let's talk about it." Master Robeschell has even said to me many times very clearly that he will ...... His position, it's definitely yours. He expects a lot from you, and he thinks that you will be the backbone of the empire. So...... He doesn't want to see you go down the path of power. That didn't end well. As long as you control the power in your hands well, not too little, less will not reflect your value. And not too much, because too much will make the king suspicious. Keep a delicate balance, and you will become the brightest star of the Empire's generation in this life!"

"Thank you. Du Wei said these two words very seriously: "Thank you, and thank the old prime minister on my behalf." Thank you for the kindness he gave me. Well...... I will definitely visit his old man another day to express my gratitude in person. ”

"So...... Are you convinced by me?" said Cameiro and smiled at Du Wei.

Du Wei laughed and stood up: "Of course! I was convinced by you! Camisiro, you are really a great lobbyist." ”

Camisiro breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "Actually, you are very smart, Du Wei, you don't need me to tell you these truths, you can think of what I said...... It's just that you need to hear it from other people's mouths to give your own heart an excuse to let go. Moreover...... To be honest, I think the regent has done a very wise job, at least, the position of the dean of this military academy is actually to give you a permanent death-free card for the Tulip family!"

"Oh, what do you say?" said Du Wei's heart.

"Do you want to...... Now after you have handed over some of the power in your hands, so that the regent will be completely reassured of you, and will have complete trust in you...... You take the position of dean, you think, years from now. In the army of the empire, there will be a group of new generals, all of whom are your disciples, although you may not have actual military power in the army, but your prestige among these generals will definitely reach an unattainable height! At that time...... To say something ugly, even if you commit any crime, as long as you are not a rebel, the monarch will look at the face of this large number of generals in the military and be very kind to you!"

Du Wei nodded.

Think about it. This position of dean is a gold medal for the regent to give himself a gold medal for avoiding death! In fact, he told Du Wei secretly: Give up your power, as long as you have the identity of this dean, as long as the empire does not perish, the honor of your life will be guaranteed!

Further, it also dispelled Du Wei's worries about "the birds are hidden in the bow, and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooked"!

became this dean, as long as Du Wei did not rebel, he would be in this life. The monarch will maintain respect and respect for him.

Du Wei laughed, his laughter full of joy and lightness: "Camesiro." Now I'm completely convinced by you! No more hesitation, well, I'll take your advice, and I'll do something in the next few days...... Well, by the way, I suddenly came up with a new idea......"

"New idea?" Camiciro froze.

"Actually, if you think about it, the Lord Regent's arrangements for me, for you, and for General Arpayi, he lifted the three of us to a high position. At the age of the three of us, it can be said that in the next few decades, as long as we do not go down the wrong path. All three of us will climb to a very high position. But what...... If we're smart, don't get too close. After all, you are the Minister of War. It is the one who controls the command of the Emperor [**]! And I, if I am the dean of the military academy, will have supreme prestige. My relationship with Alpayi was already stiff - much to the regent's relief. But what is your relationship with me...... But it's a little too harmonious. ”

"It's so congenial...... What do you mean. ”

"In order to reassure our earth regent, it is better for my relationship with you to be 'stiffer'. Hehe, of course, don't you hate me, we are in our hearts, can we still regard each other as friends, but, on the surface, it is better to have some disputes. ”

With that, Du Wei stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and walked in front of Camisiro.

Camisiro immediately stood up nervously and looked at Du Wei with a wry smile: "Hey, what do you want to do? God...... You won't be thinking ...... I said, "It's not necessary......, is it?"

Bang!

After a muffled sound, there was a cry of pain from Camichiro.

A moment later, our Imperial Vice-Chancellor, covering his bleeding nose, walked out of Duke Tulip's study, and blood was still flowing from his fingers.

Camesilo had a strange expression on his face, and the few guards waiting outside were even more wide-eyed.

"Go back. Camiciro smiled bitterly, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe the nosebleed, and after a while, he exclaimed in annoyance: "Du Wei, you broke the bridge of my nose!"

————————————————————

On this day,

Lord Luo covered his bloody nose and walked out of Duke Tulip angrily to be seen by many people, and soon after, the news spread all over dìdū.

In less than a day, most of the people in the aristocratic *** knew about this new thing: Duke Tulip and Vice Minister of Military Affairs Lord Camiciro, because of their disagreement on military affairs, they ended up fighting, and Duke Tulip personally broke Lord Camiciro's nose......

Now it seems that among the three newcomer kings of the empire, the last pair of friends have also broken down. From now on, the three newcomer kings will probably have their own factions.

The first of the two things that people don't know happened in the palace: after the prince Chen learned the news, he smiled slightly for a while, and at dinner, he even drank two more glasses of wine than Pingrì.

The second thing happened at night, but in the house of the old chancellor, Robsschan.

This old fox, who has been in the sea all his life, looked at his nephew and son-in-law, looked at the bridge of Camisilo's red and swollen nose, and the cotton stuffed in his nostrils, but the old guy had a kind smile.

When Camisiro used a thick nasal voice to tell all the things about the conversation between the two of them in Du Wei's mansion today, including Du Wei's last punch, and everything.

When he heard Du Wei punch Camisiro's nose. The old prime minister suddenly laughed very happily.

This perennial unfathomable old guy. He smiled so happily that he was like a child.

Watching the old prime minister smile so happily. Camiciro covered his nose and said with a wry smile: "I said, you see me being beaten." Are you so happy?"

"Yes, my boy, I'm very happy. ”

Camiciro sighed: "Okay, I know the meaning of this matter, and I also understand Du Wei's intentions. So, what am I going to do in the future? Do you want me to play a drama with him attacking each other?"

"No, no, no. Lao Zai shook his head again and again: "Deliberately attack each other, that scene has been played." It's too fake. You don't want to deliberately have any conflict with Du Wei on military affairs. That would be suspicious. You...... In the future, all the official affairs related to Du Wei will be fine as long as they remain official and impartial! Be impartial, i.e., don't deliberately embarrass him. Don't help him like you used to! Do what you have to do, and do everything according to the rules and regulations of the empire, it's enough!"

Camisiro nodded, then stood up and walked away, muttering, "Hell." I'm going to change my dressing, my nose hurts. I can't even drink alcohol. ”

Watching the agent of the family he chose walk out, Robschel's eyes gradually drifted into the distance......

"It was a real punch...... What a smart and funny boy!"

The old prime minister smiled and made an assessment.

——————————————————

Just after Du Wei took the position of dean of the "Emperor's Academy" in a high-profile manner - of course, this military academy does not exist for the time being, but it will set up the framework as soon as possible in the short term, and young officers drawn from local armies will also report to Dìdū in the next month.

In addition, there is one more thing......

At a regular meeting in the court, Duke Tulip took the initiative to ask the empire to take back military power over the "Northwest Dúlì Division" on the grounds that he was "financially tight". Since then. All the salaries and supplies for this army are borne by the imperial treasury, and the Tulip family no longer provides any sponsorship to this army.

And, Du Wei said. It no longer makes sense for this army to remain in the north of its own territory, and it will also consume the grain of the province of Desa, which is already low in food production.

The regent readily agreed to this request.

The Northwest Dúlì Division will be deployed as soon as possible. Moved to a newly built Imperial military fortress south of the Kaspersky Line. The military order was issued from the Imperial Command on the same day.

In addition, there is one more thing...... The largest official hot air balloon production plant in that empire.

Du Wei said that because of his family's "tight financial resources" and the need for a large amount of working capital for other industrial businesses under his name, he asked to sell his share of this hot air balloon production factory!

The regent allowed this after thinking about it for a day.

Soon, Du Wei and Count Villa, as well as the Demonic Beast of Mount Teland, reached an agreement between the two families. Count Villa and the Demonic Beast of Delan Mountain jointly contributed 11 million gold coins to buy Du Wei's share. Since then, the Tulip family and this hot air balloon production base no longer have any control and local relationship.

Of course...... Because Du Wei's territory is closest to the grassland, the cattle and sheep skins and fur needed for the hot air balloon production base still have to be purchased from the grassland through Du Wei's channels, and the price is based on the imperial official price.

Two orders, Du Wei easily handed over the two great powers in his hands.

Although there is still some faint unwillingness in his heart, Du Wei is very clear: this is politics. As the prince of Chen, he did the right thing, and he also gave Du Wei some benefits, at least the position of the dean of this military academy has already given Du Wei the honor of the first generation and a big insurance.

After dealing with these two things, in the palace, Prince Chen was in a good mood, and in the next few days, the guards and servants around him could feel his good mood from the smile on this king's face.

As for Du Wei, he can transfer his jīng power to the final of this tournament!

The final of the tournament is about to begin...... The two sides of the duel are......

Elu, and ......
