Volume III, Chapter 89

"How so? Orders and prohibitions have always been a tradition in the army. Cohen took Chinlen into his arms and pondered his father's words, "These guys don't even have that bit of self-control, do they?

"On the surface, the army system is a group, but you also know that the officers are actually divided into two major factions, on the one hand, the officers who have grown up from slaves and soldiers, and the people of the thirty-six tribes. These people take your will as their own will, and as long as you are there, they will not take the initiative to cause trouble. Wei Su stroked the fence and explained the current shape to his son: "But the officers who have been transferred to you from the Imperial army are different. ”

"Dad meant the officers who came with Carros...... And my brothers' men?"

"Those who came with Carlos are not among them, they have been with you for a long time, and they have long been assimilated by you...... It was my subordinates who transferred it to you, and the people who defected to you during the war of rebellion, in their heads, the imprint of tradition is quite deep, and no matter what kind of tradition it is based on, what do you think they are thinking when you are the most powerful?" Wei Su smiled slightly: "You must pay attention to the current environment, as soon as the environment changes, people's hearts will naturally change with it." ”

"It's so simple, whoever is suitable for doing something can do something, what's so troublesome?" Cohen replied nonchalantly: "If you are not satisfied, go to the toilet." ”

"Although you are now the emperor, you can't ignore the influence of the nobility, these senior officers are inextricably linked with the existing aristocracy because of their family background, and any personnel arrangement must weigh the pros and cons. Now the situation is that we weighed it and ran away when we needed you to intervene...... And time is running out. It's too late for you to convince them one by one. Wei Su glared at Cohen, "Qin Lun." Help me knock your brother on the head. He was disobedient. ”

As soon as he heard that Cohen had made a mistake, Qin Lun immediately broke free from Cohen's arms, grabbed Wei Su's hand, shook his little head non-stop, and begged Wei Su not to punish Cohen.

"But Dad, you haven't gotten to the point yet, what are they messing with?" Cohen asked curiously.

"What else is there to say about this, of course, dissatisfied with the promotion of officers of the other faction. In particular, the people of the thirty-six tribes were promoted. "There have been a lot of officers who have been asking Carlos in private, and Carlos has struggled to keep the limelight down, but complaints will accumulate, so the relationship between the officers has been strained lately," Viso explained. ”

"That's right...... Let me think. Cohen stood up and mused, "Is it okay to let them accept the new arrangement?"

"Take advantage of this opportunity, you should find a way to resolve the grievances on both sides! They are your officers, of course, it is best for you to come forward, we don't have many ways, and if the chief justice comes forward to bring the case to justice, it will hurt the strength of the army. Wei Su seized this opportunity to add weight to Cohen: "You still have so many big things to do in the future, of course you can't waste your energy on these small things." ”

"Got it. I'll give these bunnies to clean up and keep them in their shoes. Cohen looked back, "Dad." Are there people from the provinces? Are there people from the temple?"

"The governors of the provinces have already replied that they will come to the enthronement ceremony, and we will just have the best of the rituals, and after the ceremony, the main thing is to clean up these people. Wei Su whispered, "As for the temple, they say that it is not good for the people to be sent early, and they will not arrive until a few days before you ascend the throne." ”

"Strange, what is the temple planning for? Is it to give us no time to react?" Cohen frowned, "Or is it strange that someone is here?"

"Don't pay attention to this for now, take care of the matter in front of you first. Wei Su stood up with Qin Lun in his arms: "Let's have dinner...... They must have been in a hurry. ”

"Okay. ”

"I said, you're going to have to get along with Firin. ”

"I see, that's what I'm going to do. ”

"If you dare to lie to me about this, I'll make you look good. ”

The atmosphere at dinner was warm, and Cohen, who had been away from home for many days, was not repaired by everyone, which was to his own surprise. After the meal, Cohen chatted with the princes as usual, and let him get to know Rick and Sifta by the way, and the ladies left first after the small gathering.

When he walked out of the room, Xiao Qinlun had already begun to rub his eyes and yawn, this little guy was so happy today.

"Your Majesty, Princess Fei Lin said that Princess Qinlun's room is not easy to arrange, so please take Princess Qinlun to Princess Wensley's side to rest tonight. As she walked out of the room, Lucy, who was waiting outside the door, came up to Cohen and said, "Princess Winsley has returned." ”

"Is she rested, then?" Cohen said to himself, "If you go so late, will you disturb her?"

"ι™›xiΓ . Lucy covered her mouth and smiled and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't think I'm talkative, I have something to say." ”

"Let's get it straight. Cohen nodded: "You're not an outsider. ”

"As the wife of His Majesty, even if it is late, as long as her husband goes to find her, she will not be angry!" Lucy said softly, "Your Majesty will go! ”

"That's right. Cohen smiled and took a step, then turned back and asked, "Lucy, do you think my husband is qualified? ”

"This is the real Majesty. Lucy whispered, "The more gorgeous the flower, the more careful it needs to be cultivated." ”

"Or maybe I'm too nervous, okay, I'll take care of my flowers now. Cohen laughed: "You also find a man worthy of your love to take care of you, and I will keep my promise and snatch him from you." ”

"Thank you, I'm not welcome, maybe the person I chose is a problem for you!"

"Will it be? I have a problem that I can't solve?" Cohen was in a good mood, and left with a smile on his face.

Because they had to deal with government affairs together, the four imperial concubines all lived in a large courtyard, and Winsley's room was next to Philin's room, separated only by a stream and a small wood.

Accompanied by several guards. Cohen approached the door. The guard standing outside was just about to report it. It has been stopped by Cohen with a gesture.

"What is the Imperial Princess doing?" Cohen asked softly.

"Pray to the great elves. The female guard, who was also an elf, replied, "I don't know the exact content." ”

"Stay outside. Cohen ordered his guards, straightened his clothes again, and walked in gently.

Since it is the residence of the imperial concubine, of course, it will not be as simple as two or three rooms, in fact, it is much larger than the courtyard of an ordinary family. Fortunately, Cohen was already familiar with Winsley's maid guards, and he carried Xiao Qinlun to the upper floor under the guidance of the maid. Find the place where Winsley prays.

Wen Sili knelt on the platform by the side of the building, wearing a simple light blue dress, her colorful wings spread out behind her, the cool breeze on the summer night blew the corners of her clothes, and her hair couldn't stop moving.

"Don't the elves' prayers need to be spoken?" Seeing that the prayer service was almost over, Cohen whispered, "My dear elf lady." ”

"Of course you have to say it, but it's hard to say it when you're here. Winsley stood up, her eyes sparkling as she looked over.

"Does this prayer have anything to do with me?" Cohen chuckled, "Give me face." You know I'm curious. ”

"Come and sit. Winsley didn't answer Cohen, and smiled and let Cohen into the room.

"That's right. Is this your room to rest, find a place for this little guy to sleep. Cohen sat down and looked at the good baby who was already asleep in his arms: "She will look at me as soon as she wakes up, and if she turns her head a few times and can't find me, then our palace will be lively." ”

"Didn't you have a room for her?" Winsley leaned over, "What a lovely sleep." ”

"There's no way, I think I can only let you sleep with her after getting acquainted with her......"

Xiao Qinlun didn't sleep very soundly, and was alarmed by the sound of the two of them, his eyes had already opened, and he saw the beautiful wings behind Wen Sili, and his mouth made an "ah", and his eyes flashed with surprise, and his sleepiness disappeared.

"Good evening, Princess Chienlen. Winsley smiled and said, "Do you want me to hug you?"

Perhaps because Winsley was very gentle, Xiao Qinlun nodded vigorously and stretched out her hands. Winsley patted her and placed her on the chaise longue, and Cohen took a silk quilt and covered it with Jean.

"She won't fall asleep until she recites poetry. Cohen dragged over his chair and sat down: "She's happy now!"

"Qin Lun sleeps obediently, and my sister will take you to see very beautiful flowers tomorrow. Wen Sili held Qin Lun's hand and shook it slowly: "Listen to my sister read poems to you." ”

"The sound of the spring rain is crisp, the sparkling meadows, the fragrance of flowers awakened by the raindrops is overflowing, although clear, fresh and joyful, it is not as good as your music. The leisurely fluttering butterflies, flying with wings are joyful vows, and the emerald green day is awake, like a chapter of wind and water. The whole sky and the earth resounded with your song, just like the moon and lonely clouds in the clear night sky, and the silver light fell, allowing the clear light to fill the forest. Singing endlessly, dreams will never end, we are the darlings of the forest, laughing, sleeping, and loving each other, we are family members for life......"

In Winsley's soft and melodious voice, Qin Lun gradually closed her eyes, and a shallow smile still hung on the corner of her mouth. Cohen looked at Winsley's side face, and his mood was extremely relaxed.

"Really asleep......" Cohen shook his head, "I'm weird, I coax her to sleep for half an hour, why did you put her to sleep with a poem?"

"Or maybe it's because I'm an elf!" She still had a strong fear in her heart, and the words of poetry alone did not have much effect. Wen Sili covered the silk quilt for Qin Lun, and Qin Lun breathed evenly in her sleep, her little face was red and simple.

"Yes, she likes you very much, and you are very good at coaxing children. Cohen scratched his head: "It's a waste of talent to let you be the overseer of internal affairs." ”

After hearing Cohen's words, Wen Sili, who was originally smiling, was obviously lowered, she stood up, walked to the outside window and stood, her wings gradually retracted, and her back became thin and lonely.

"Winsley, what's wrong with you? Did I say the wrong thing?" Cohen followed, cautiously asking, "If I say the wrong thing, it must be unintentional......"

"You're right. Wen Sili shook her head, bit her lip lightly, and replied in a low voice: "I myself know that I am very incompetent as an internal affairs overseer, and all three of them are better than me, and I can't help at all in it." ”

"Don't say that about yourself, Winsley. You're my wife!" Cohen sat on the edge of the window, "You're by my side to help me with the burden." That's enough. I'm content to see you every day. You can even lull me to sleep like you do. ”

"Are you also filled with fear?"

"Of course, I'm afraid you're upset!" Cohen said with a smile, "Don't be so low, smile." ”

"I've been like this a lot, since I was a kid. Winsley lowered her head and said faintly, "Do you think it's troublesome?" ”

"If I had been the same person before, I would probably think like this. Cohen reached out and gently cupped Winsley's face, "But now it's different, you're like a part of my body and mind." How can I feel like I'm in trouble? Every night when I look at the starry sky above me, your face comes to mind......"

"I'm lying!" Winsley smiled, "What is my face like?"

"I'm not lying. Cohen continued: "Winsley has a beautiful and graceful face, not as cold as Felin, not as fiery as Diel, but kind and gentle, and I can relax completely at once by your side." You know what, Winsley, if you weren't for me, I'm afraid I'd lose my temper at any time, your eyes are clear. When you look at it, you feel very comfortable......"

I heard my husband praise himself like this. Wen Sili's frustration was cleared up early, her cheeks flushed, and she just stared at Cohen in front of her, as if nothing else existed, and she hoped that her husband would continue to say it like this, regardless of whether his words were true or false.

"Speaking of which, I rarely talk to Winsley. Cohen grabbed his wife's hands: "Do you blame me in your heart?"

Winsley smiled silently, but her eyes had already told Cohen the answer.

"I'm sorry for you tonight. Cohen pulled Winsley into his arms, his signature smile on his face, "If you don't say yes, I'll scream." ”

After thinking about it, she understood the meaning of Cohen's words, and Winsley was shocked, but her hands were already held by Cohen, and it was impossible to break free to show reserve, and the next moment she was hugged by her husband.

"Do you miss me when I'm not there?"

Wen Sili didn't know what to say, so she could only nod slightly, and even the roots of her ears were red and transparent. Smelling the fragrance wafting from her hair, Cohen couldn't help himself, and lowered his head to kiss Winsley's lips.

Wen Sili let out a low breath and stretched out her hands to hug Cohen, her body trembled slightly, and the whole person was already lost in her husband's arms.

Cohen felt excited, picked up Winsley, and walked to the bed. After breakfast, the senior officers who received the order came to the palace one after another to attend the preparatory meeting of the all-staff meeting of the military department. The officers who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together, and the gate of the front palace was lively, the war horses neighed, and the voices of people were boiling.

Since the beginning of the war, the commanders of the three major legions have rushed to their respective battlefields, and now they meet again as the victors of the war, and in front of the palace, the scene is so enthusiastic that it can be used to light fires.

Although these officers are wearing powerful and straight uniforms, they still like to play around, and they can control themselves in the war because they are fighting, and now...... They behave like ordinary creeps.

"Hahaβ€”you stinky shit!" several officers shouted and hugged each other.

"Damnβ€”pervert, you're not dead yet!" "Two officers, you punched me, I kicked you in the legs, and you made a fuss.

"Come on, come on, I just saw Brother Chatai, come with me...... Don't pick your nostrils!" A few more people scurried around in the crowd.

"We are glorious soldiers, we are hot-blooded men, and we fight bloodily...... Yes...... Men of the thirty-six tribes, strong as ......" and the officers hugged each other and sang in a voice that was not full of five notes, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they wanted to turn the palace into a sea of joy.

It is no wonder that, in the army of Cohen, this large number of officers were transferred directly from soldiers and slaves, and the war never stopped, so Cohen did not bother to arrange for them to learn etiquette, and in fact, they were able to obey military law very wellβ€”and this was because of the special ability of the military judges.

As for what other people think of themselves, how can they have time to think about it? Wouldn't it be nice to be happy?

But the other group of officers not far from them were different, these officers were extraordinary, and they also paid attention to their own image, and they were even more meticulous in their dressing, not even a single fold could be found in their uniforms, their high riding boots were polished enough to be used as mirrors, and their swords were maintained like handicrafts...... They first handed over their horses to their guards and took them away, then whispered hello to their colleagues, and then stayed quietly on the side of the palace gate, waiting for the order to enter.

These officers were the father of His Majesty Cohen. The officers of the original imperial system retained by Prince Kaida were all officers with aristocratic backgrounds. In addition to the three major legions, most of the officers in His Majesty's army were such officers, and they were a force as important as the officer system cultivated by His Majesty Cohen himself.

As aristocrats, we must not allow rudeness in front of others, and the various behaviors of civilian officers who are "lively to the point of rudeness", noble officers can only pretend not to see at the moment. Of course, they will be very dissatisfied in their hearts, but they are outstanding in battle, and besides, they don't even care about the great Cohen, and it is not a matter for them to stand out......

Speaking of Cohen, he seems to be particularly fond of this tune.

Fortunately, it was not long before the officers on duty at the palace came.

"Attention allβ€”stand up!" The tall brigadier general opened his mouth and ordered loudly in a strong voice: "The officers of each department will first go to store their weapons, and then enter the venue according to the formation, because the front palace is holding a military department meeting, so today's meeting place is the conference building of the main palace liaison department!"

"Yes!" replied all the officers in a loud voice, and then moved towards the palace gate in two distinct groups.

The aristocratic officers quickly completed the procedures for registering and storing their weapons, and entered the palace in an orderly manner, while the civilian officers were much more troublesome. It's not that anyone is making things difficult for them, it's just that they have more weapons, not to mention everyone's long sword, and what other short knives, daggers, crossbows, slings, and rope nooses...... God knows where they hid these things just now, and everybody can pull you out a shove anyway.

The officer on duty walked over and stood next to a lieutenant colonel officer who was pulling out his weapons, this guy had already taken out six weapons, and was pulling out the seventh. (To be continued......)
