Chapter 539: Red
Du Wei just made a guess.
However, this speculation is actually very serious! As a monarch, if you are not benevolent. No matter how smart he is, it's probably not a good thing! Not to mention, a child who has just turned ten years old. As far as Tian Xìng is concerned, what will he become when he grows up?
Gabby was stunned for a moment, then he smiled: "Brother." Are you worried that it is too early? This little emperor is only ten years old, and the regent is not yet thirty, waiting for Emperor Charles to take over. I see the regent on the throne. Trust in you won't be easily diminished. ”
"That's the most important thing I'm worried about. Du Wei couldn't even laugh this time: "If only that little emperor wasn't a kind child." That doesn't matter. Decades later. I wouldn't worry about it right now...... But the problem is, I've been ignoring one question before!!"
Du Wei waved his hand: "You are right. Emperor Charles was only in his early tens. The regent is only thirty years old......! Now so early for Charlie to succeed to the throne. Maybe it was because of helplessness, but, after a few years, after Emperor Charles came of age. The regent continued to hold power. Let the adult emperor continue to be a puppet? Even if this child is willing now, when he becomes an adult, will he be willing? In the face of imperial power, there is no disorder at all! But under normal circumstances. The regent is free of illness and disaster, and there are always decades to live! He lived to be seventy years old...... Should Emperor Charles wait until he was fifty years old to take power?? Is it possible?"
In Du Wei's judgment, within four or five years. There will be no contradictions in the struggle for imperial power, but what about a few years later? When the child grows up, is he still willing to continue to be a puppet?
Don't forget. The coup d'état of the eldest prince Yawen is a lesson from the past!!
What's more, when the eldest prince coup d'état. He's just a prince!, and Charlie. He was already the legitimate emperor of the empire! At that time, if he wanted to fight for power, it would be even more justified!
What's more, passing through the miracles in the square. Everyone in the empire has now recognized this Emperor Charles as the "Emperor of God"!
When this "God-given Emperor" comes of age and asks to take power. Even if the regent is his father, are you embarrassed to fight for power with the Emperor? ? Seven or eight years at most. This hidden danger will surface!
But. With the regent such a clever man. How could you not have imagined this big hidden danger in the future?
This is a question that Du Wei has always ignored. Or rather. He seemed to be faintly deliberately not thinking about this matter, but with the announcement of the death of the old emperor and the succession of the new emperor, this question could not be suppressed and emerged from his heart!
And in connection with it. Lately the Regent seems to have been wrestling power from his own land, consciously or unconsciously...... Imperial. In the splendid palace of the Golden Wall. A certain study. There's not a lot of extravagant makeup here. Although the regent took charge of the country at a very young age, he was also known for his luxury and elegance during his years as a prince.
But. After the regent came to power, he seemed to have washed away all his youthful and luxurious temper!
Despite being the de facto ruler of the empire. During the three years he has been in power, his life has been not simple. But the contrast between Augustine VI and Augustine VI was stark!
When I was a prince. He also often goes in and out of the [**] cave outside the city. The house also has some beautiful pet concubines. Ride in a jaw-droppingly luxurious carriage that shines through the city...... The young man is flamboyant, the emperor is noble, and the chūn style is proud.
But after entering the palace, he dispersed all those favored concubines. Three years in charge of the empire. However, he only remained a legitimate queen, and it was only later that he publicly married Miss Daili as the princess in order to support Arpay. As for the rest, the lord of the empire, let alone the favored concubine. I don't even have a lover who is kept outside!
His food, clothing, and housing were the most simple among all the emperors in two hundred years. He gave up the pomp and circumstance as much as possible, and gave up a lot of fancy clothes and delicacies, even the luxurious carriage that everyone of the nobles looked at when he was the prince. He was also locked in the storeroom.
In the early years of the empire, when finances were tight, he took the initiative to promote frugality as a regent. Although there is an element of show in such a move, if you can do this, no matter how you say it, you should be considered a good monarch.
He even gave up most of his spare time, and when he was a prince, Prince Chen was a notoriously romantic prince. He loves music. Art. He even likes to enjoy opera, and he can go hunting on horseback. Able to draw. It's versatile. But in the three years he has been in power, he has not gone out hunting again, has not listened to opera, and has not played with music......
Augustine left behind a mess full of holes, so he had to devote all his jīng energy to mending the countless holes in this mess. Even if you suddenly get such shocking and huge bad news as the invasion of the sinners. He endured it too. Strategize. Three years of painstaking operation of the empire!
Only the personal servants in the palace know. The regent has been sleeping only three hours a day for almost two years. The vast majority of the day is spent dealing with the affairs of the Empire. Rectification of military affairs and financial affairs.
The current Chancellor of the Exchequer has publicly praised the young regent as the most prominent monarch of the empire in recent generations. Although there is an element of flattery. But deep down, most people agree.
As the ruler of the empire, his son Charlie even wanted a good horse as a pet a year ago. You have to grind and soak it for a long time before you can get your wish - thrifty to this extent, even if it is a show, it is really rare.
In the study. The regent leaned back in his chair. He slept for a while, then rubbed his brows vigorously, took a deep breath, got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and let the night breeze blow in. This soothed the swelling and exhaustion a little.
Stretch hard. Prince Tatsu turned around and returned to the table. He read the military newspaper on the table again, lowered his head and pondered for a while.
He felt a little weak and tired.
Then Prince Chen smiled bitterly. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a flat subway box from his arms and opened it. Inside is a moisturizing ointment. His eyes became solemn. He seemed to hesitate, only to suddenly cough violently. Let him make up his mind. With his little thumb on the ground, he carefully picked a little bit, put it in his mouth, and picked up the cup in front of him. Mixed with hot tea, I took it.
Ointment in an iron box. It exudes a strange aroma...... If Du Wei were standing here. He would immediately be amazed to recognize that the aroma was exactly that of the forest berry!
"Your Highness. ”
Outside the door, a solemn face knocked on the door and came in, and said in a low voice: "The Deputy Minister of Military Affairs has arrived." ”
"Ask him to come in. ”
When Camisiro walked into the room, he lowered his head and his hands. The appearance is very respectful and solemn, and he doesn't dare to look at the regent with his eyes. Hurry up and bow down.
"How is Du Wei at the Military Academy?"
Without half a polite sentence, Prince Chen directly raised his own question.
"Not bad. Cammisiro's voice was a little flat, but he replied unmistakably: "Lord Duke Tulip seems to be in a good mood, taking those cadet officers in the military academy." It seems to be busy very much. ”
Prince Chen nodded, he seemed to think for a while, and then smiled: "Du Wei is a smart person. ”
Then his smile softened a little: "It seems that he understands my intentions, and I know that he will make the right choice." But...... In any case, it is not always a pleasant thing to be taken over. As for the military academy, if he has any needs, you can try to meet him, I heard that he has transferred more than 1,000 soldiers from the security station, it seems that he is very happy. ”
"Your Highness. Duke Tulip made a new request, and he asked me to transfer him five hundred...... He said that the quality of the soldiers in the security station was insufficient, and there was a need for more sharp soldiers. to hone in on the command of the officer. ”
"Give it to him. Without hesitation, the regent nodded: "Draw a battalion from the dìdū garrison division and give it to him, and the military salary will be doubled." ”
Camiciro hesitated. Keep your head up. I mustered up the courage to smile and said, "Your Highness, I think it...... Lord Tulip kept making demands. It's a good thing. Feeling. ”
"Hehe......" Prince Chen smiled, looking at this confidant, he said lightly: "You are also very smart." It seems that you have learned a lot from the old prime minister. ”
There was a pause. He rubbed his eyes. Although the soreness made him frown, the smile on his face did not fade: "Du Wei is playing a tantrum with me, the more he is like this." It shows that he is still loyal to me, if he doesn't ask for anything, just a person who is sullen and angry, then he has a centrifugal attitude towards me, now, it's just to use these little things to express some dissatisfaction with me for taking his power, it's normal. For me, it's a good signal 0
"Your Highness trusts Duke Tulip, I know the land. Camisiro smiled bitterly: "But." The Duke caged those officers too harshly. Those guys have suffered a lot in the past few months. I also hurt several. Although there are physicians and priests on standby. The Duke himself has extraordinary abilities. But those guys, a few of them have big family backgrounds. I can't bear the hardship, and I quietly asked someone from my family to come to me. I have requested a transfer from the Military Academy. ”
"Hmph, rubbish. Prince Chen raised his eyebrows: "You tell them, if you want to leave the place, it's okay." But left the military academy. They just wait for a lifetime of leisure! The Emperor [**] team doesn't raise these wastes, if they can't even endure the hardships in the academy. How will you lead the emperor's [**] team to fight in the future? You tell them that they don't want to leave! After the military files for the record. Get all of them home and go farming!"
Camissiro sighed inwardly. In his mouth, he quickly nodded respectfully: "Yes!"
Prince Chen leaned back. Suddenly, he frowned, and his face seemed to change slightly. He waved his hand and took a deep breath: "You go back." ”
Camisiro didn't dare to say a word. Hurriedly saluted and withdrew.
When Camisiro walked out of the room and closed the door. The cough that Emperor Chen had suppressed just now erupted violently.
He coughed vigorously for a while, and finally pulled a silk handkerchief from his bosom to cover his mouth, and his cheeks were stained with a sickly red. He casually picked up the cup on the table. I was about to take a sip of hot tea and warm my chest, but the teacup was already dry.
Prince Chen immediately pulled a zipper on his side. Immediately after a bell, a messenger walked outside. Stand in front of you with a bow.
Prince Chen didn't speak either. He pointed to the cup in front of him.
The herald hurriedly bent down and walked in front of him, and was about to hold the cup down to change, but suddenly the corner of his eye naturally swept over the table!
on the table. It was the silk handkerchief that Prince Chen casually covered the corners of his mouth when he coughed just now. This biography suddenly shook his eyes. Staring at the silk handkerchief, there seemed to be something strange in an instant.
As soon as Prince Chen frowned, he immediately discovered the abnormal state of this waiter, and suddenly realized that the other party's eyes fell on something!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he snorted softly, and said coldly, "What did you see?"
The waiter shook suddenly. With a bang, the cup in his hand also fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I haven't seen anything!
Emperor Chen was silent for a while. I looked at the waiter twice. Suddenly, he sighed softly. Said softly: "I don't blame you." It's my own carelessness, I'm so tired today, I was dizzy just now. I let you in, and I accidentally let you see it...... It was my fault. I'm sorry for you. ”
The waiter's whole body was suddenly cold, and his body trembled like a swing in the cold wind!
"Mage. Prince Chen sighed. With a call from him. In the air in the corner, a person walked out of thin air. It is a court magician with a full body of red sè mage robes.
"Take it out...... Bury it. Prince Chen didn't look at the waiter in front of him who kept begging for mercy, but just sighed: "It's me who is careless." It cost him his life. The next time I make a mistake, you remind me. Let me be careful. I don't want to kill people for this kind of mistake anymore. ”
The court mage nodded indifferently. Then he walked up to the waiter. Gently on his head a little. And the man fainted. Then the mage pulled the waiter, and the man walked out like a zombie with the court mage.
The room fell silent, but Prince Chen's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief on the table.
White as snow on top of the silk handkerchief, in the middle. But it was a bright red!
