Chapter 430: The Princes' Reaction
The court, the study.
"When I received this news, I thought the old Six Nations Alliance had entered the city, but you told me that it was the bounty hunters in the city who were causing trouble?"
The emperor took a dinner knife and cut a sausage in two, "When will the bounty hunters be able to beat the regular army?" Is all the money allocated to you every year going into your pocket? Are your city guards fed forage?! ”
The second prince York, who was in charge of the imperial capital's city defenses, didn't dare to squeak, kneeling there with his head down and listening to the emperor's roar.
The emperor glared angrily at York, who didn't dare to raise his head, and scolded the waste that he didn't dare to bear, and then looked at the two dukes and one marquis who were standing, "And a few of you, two thousand city guards died, don't your hearts hurt?" That's the wealth of the Empire! How can you give up your hands! ”
"Father is wronged, you must know that the second brother has always been my own person, how could I attack my own people?" When the eldest prince Cornwall heard this, he immediately put on an innocent appearance, "I didn't eat breakfast after hearing this, because the scene involves heresy, and I have asked the church to follow up and investigate." ”
"Didn't eat breakfast?" The emperor was angry when he heard this, "Why don't you come over and have some food?" ”
"Thank you, Father!" When the eldest prince heard this, he turned around and gave the third brother and the fourth brother an expression that the father still spoiled me, and then stepped forward, but directly let the emperor slap him back.
"I've told you eight hundred times, stay away from the church, suppress the church, do you want the church to come when you are crowned in the future?" The Emperor roared angrily.
"Then you can't find a stall, can you?" The eldest prince covered his face and said with an aggrieved expression.
"Get out! Get out of here! The emperor threw the knife in his hand away, and the frightened prince ran out with a roll.
"Father, dissipate your anger, since someone has framed the bounty hunters in this matter, then I will definitely ask them to find clues to prove their innocence." The third prince, Charles, bowed his head and said carefully.
"Hmm." The emperor sighed slightly, and then looked at the fourth prince William, "What do you think about this?" ”
"It's being investigated, it's not a trivial matter that there is such a big force in the city, during this period, the city defense army must be replenished, last night's incident was unfavorable because of the blockade, which has caused panic among the residents of the imperial capital, and at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen patrols, the more people will take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble." William saluted.
"Well, let's do it." The emperor nodded, then looked at York, who was kneeling with his head bowed, and said, "York, handle the follow-up of this matter well, don't let me down." ”
"Yes, Father." York said, then looked up, "I was dealing with the incident in the morning, and I heard the streets..."
"What's the matter next week's council, it's the most important thing to deal with the stability of the imperial capital now." The Emperor interrupted York's words, "I don't want the prosperity of the imperial capital to become a mess in your hands, do you know?" ”
"Yes, Father." X3
"Let's all go down." The emperor waved his sons away, picked up the sausages on the table and wanted to take a bite, but his hands shook and fell to the ground.
"Alas~"
Out of the court, York rode away without greeting the two brothers, Charles and William silently watched his distant back, covering their noses to block the dung raised by the horse's hooves.
"It's rude." Charles wiped the back of his hand with a handkerchief and said in disgust, "What did you say he was trying to say?" ”
"It should be necessary to strengthen the ban on weapons management, and implement a joint guarantee system for bounty hunters and mercenaries." William analyzed, "In short, it is something that is not good for us, so my father did not let him continue, so as not to look bad on the faces of the brothers." ”
"Let the Minister of War speak out, don't we know what's going on? A useless fig leaf. Charles took back the handkerchief and said, "So I see that the second child is about to come out." ”
"Well, he could still wait and see, but now that so many people have died at once, he can't sit still." William said.
"You didn't do it?" Charles asked, looking at his fourth brother.
"No, if it were me, I would have told you in advance." William said, "I'll ask Rosa Tashi when I go back. ”
"The Church of the Sage has that ability, but the eighth brother is a civilized person, so it can't be him." Charles vetoed.
"That's the boss." William said.
"The boss is from the church, can you?" Charles said in confusion.
"I'm a bad guy in your eyes?" William almost said what was in his heart when he heard this, he coughed and said to Charles, "The boss is a little muddy, but he also has guards and retainers, and the church also has an exorcist with domineering cattle, if it's not the boss, is it the fifth sister?" You don't think it's Lao Jiu, do you? ”
"Makes sense." Charles nodded, and then looked at William seriously, "Do you think it's possible that the second child is killing himself?" ”
"Just for the sake of the knife ban?" The corners of William's mouth twitched imperceptibly, Third brother, it's a torment to talk to you.
At this time, it was not only William who was suffering, but also York, and at the recruitment site of the city guard in the Hill District, the quota of 2,000 people was quickly gathered.
"This is the city guard you recruited this time!" York stood on the high platform, looked carefully at the straight quasi-guards standing below, and questioned the captain of the city defense team beside him.
"yes." The captain was taken aback by York's angry face, and he looked at the high platform below, "All of them are well-trained, not old or sick at all. ”
"Of course there are no old, weak, sick and disabled!" York grabbed the leader of the team, pointed to the outstanding man in the distance and shouted, "Do you recognize that person?" That's the knight of the Roland family! And the strong one, his family was a church knight in his family's era, and the one over there, the one who was originally the eldest prince's guard, don't you look at it when you recruit people? Are you blind! ”
The captain's hair was wet, and his eyes widened when he heard this, as if there were really many people who looked familiar, and he couldn't help but shudder for a while, "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I really didn't see it, they all lowered their heads when they checked." ”
"Okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and dismiss me! If I come back late, will this city defense be the Cornish family! York kicked the captain off the stage, "Blatantly arranging for someone to come in, really treating me like mud!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, what should we do now? It's not easy to recruit people when this kind of thing happens, do you want to deal with it for a while? The other captain asked cautiously.
"If you can't deal with it, it will become a catastrophe." The second prince squinted at the captain and said.
"But what can I do? It's too late to transfer people from the outside army. The captain said with a headache.
"Go to the Imperial Knight Academy, I want the cadets there." The second prince gritted his teeth and said.
"Huh?" The captain was slightly stunned when he heard this, the second prince was joking, right? Those people went to the Imperial Knight Academy for the sake of mixed identity, and they will all be nobles in the future, and if they want to come to the city defense army, they will have to train hard since childhood!
"What are you talking about? Do you have a better way? The second prince looked at the captain when he heard the sound.
"No, no, no, I'm surprised by the second prince's approach, high! It's really high! ”
