"Why are you carrying so many weapons?" the brigadier general was angry and funny: "This is the imperial palace, the home of His Majesty the Emperor, and not the battlefield." ”

"Chief, Chief Cohen – His Majesty Cohen has said before that we never know what will happen in the next moment, so always be prepared as necessary. The young lieutenant colonel officer struggled to take out a dagger from his trouser pocket, put it on the registrar's table, and exhaled with relief: "It's finally all together!"

"Where did you put your things just now?" the brigadier general looked at the officer in front of him, thin and small, and he couldn't see anything unusual on the surface: "Which unit does it belong to?"

"Report to the chief, the lower officer is the deputy commander of the 17th Regiment of the 3rd Wing of the Guards. The little officer smiled: "The method of hiding weapons was taught by His Majesty Cohen, and it cannot be passed on." ”

"Then let's go in!" The brigadier general sighed, knowing that he had something to do with His Majesty, and he couldn't ask why, when the little officer walked into the palace gate, the brigadier general suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Lieutenant colonel, do you also have medicinal powder on you?"

"Hmm...... Yes. The lieutenant colonel blinked his eyes and replied sincerely: "Sir, what kind of category do you mean?"

"No matter what kind of thing it is, leave it all for me!" Hearing this answer, the brigadier general's heart was on fire! But thinking that he was on duty, he still held his feelings steady: "The people who passed in front of me, hand over all the medicinal powder to me, this is an order!"

The officers were very obedient, and all the civilian officers who had passed the guò hurriedly ran back and handed over the powder on their bodies...... Everybody has it.

Seeing the pile of medicine bags on the table, the officer on duty was afraid for a while, and let this thing enter the palace and get it. Think about the responsibilities you have shouldered. He wanted to cry.

Such a situation was also seen by the aristocratic officers. Most of them just shook their heads and walked towards the main palace in twos and threes, not because they didn't want to care, but because they were concerned about more important things, and this matter was the distribution of new positions in the future!

According to well-informed sources, three provincial governors, six vice-ministerial-level posts, decadres of nearly 10 military colleges, commanders of 17 provincial garrisons, and more than 30 army commanders are to be selected from the military system. There are also dozens of generals and military ranks waiting for vacancies!

Even for aristocratic officers, these positions and titles were very tempting, especially the provincial governors and garrison commanders, who were simply the little overlords of one side. Even if the dean of the academy is not bad! The position is idle, and in the future, there will be many disciples all over the world, and he can be regarded as a hundred responses to his own speech.

But looking at the shape in front of him, it seems that there are more civilian officers coming to the meeting, and if it is distributed according to the number of people, there are obviously fewer noble officers on the side, isn't it a loss?

This promotion is not easy. The result will be directly related to the distribution of power in the future of the empire, because of the rebellion. The power of the aristocracy has been hurt a lot, and it is urgent to expand the number of nobles in this promotion and regain a foothold.

According to His Majesty Cohen's usual expression, he seems to prefer to mix with civilian officers, and although he is from an aristocratic background, he does not see any preferential treatment for the aristocracy in policy...... Coupled with the fact that the attitudes of the three princes have always been ambiguous, this makes people even more worried.

Based on the above reasons, the aristocratic class inside and outside the Holy Capital had already taken action, they exchanged news, and made up their minds to revive their strength in this position adjustment and let the nobles of the entire empire regain their glory.

Even if the promotion of this group of civilian officers is unstoppable, they must do their best to curb the spread of this momentum, and the noble officers are not worried about the emperor's thoughts—this does not contradict the emperor's wishes, because the imperial family is also a member of the nobility! In the current situation, it is of course inconvenient for His Majesty to come forward.

Worried on one side and giggling on the other, officers from both camps walked into the conference building of the liaison office.

In the imperial garden, His Majesty Cohen and several imperial concubines were playing with Princess Qinlun, and judging from the emperor's relaxed expression, there was nothing to worry about at the moment. The princess status of Chinren has also been planned, and Prince Visu will submit an official statement to the Royal General Secretary one day recognizing Chinlun as his daughter, that is, the sister of His Majesty the Emperor, and that Chinlun will be given the surname of Kelda and become a member of the royal family.

Aside from his older siblings, Chinlen loves to spend time with cute animals. This is good, His Majesty Cohen took her to the Royal Zoo early in the morning, picked a lot of cute and cherished animals back, and asked Bai Ying to communicate with the animals, if she didn't have fun with Princess Qinlun, she would slaughter them and eat them......

Abu is happy, he was favored by Princess Diel, and now he is also favored by Princess Qinlun, the only bad thing is that Princess Qinlun has been feeding her, and Abu, who is a phantom beast, does not need to eat anything, and usually eats with everyone is just drinking a little juice.

"Good morning, Your Majesty the Emperor. The secretary general found a gap and walked behind Cohen and whispered: "Your Majesty, the officers attending the meeting have already arrived, may I ask the emperor if there is anything else to instruct?"

"Go and tell the Chief of Staff that he should send someone to preside over the meeting. His Majesty Cohen was feeding Princess Chinlun: "After the victory, the officers will inevitably be a little excited, don't mind, after announcing the list of promotions, try to gather as many opinions as possible—just let the general staff officer and a few people from the military department come to me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The secretary general was about to leave, and then he thought of something: "Your Majesty, are Brigadier Helter and Brigadier Moya also here?"

"And Marfa and Jack, both called. His Majesty the Emperor nodded: "I have something to look for them." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

After the secretary general left, Princess Felin walked up to the emperor: "Cohen, what are you thinking? Why did you call them all to the harem? Something happened?"

"Don't worry, it's okay now. Cohen turned his head and gave Filine a sincere smile, "I said, everyone, are we going to have a holiday this morning? ”

Before Filine could say anything, Kelly on the side shouted, "Okay!

"Kelly, don't rejoice yet, how can there be a real holiday in the royal family? Dill said to his maid, "Go and bring here the documents that you are going to deal with today." ”

"Cohen, is that so?" Winsley, who was holding Princess Qinlun, looked worriedly: "Things are strict?"

"It's not strict at all. It's just that I let it happen in advance. It can't be delayed any longer. Cohen stood up: "Oh my God. My wives are so good that they can guess my intentions in two clicks...... Don't you know that if a woman is too smart, she will have a hard time. ”

"What? Do you think we're not having a hard time now?" Dill walked over with a wicked smile on his face and rolled up his sleeves, "Stinky boy—you owe it!"

"Isn't it hard work, hard work?" Cohen laughed, and when Dill let his guard down, he hugged her and gave her a long kiss, and then ran away, shouting from afar, "I'm going to pick up Helt and them—"

"Bad embryo!" Dill was pleased and angry. It's hard to catch up, so I can only stomp my feet and say: "When you become an emperor, you still look like a hooligan!"

Her words made several other imperial concubines laugh and bend over on the spot.

The conference building of the Liaison Department was already seated, and although it was quite large, it took up only a small half of the large chamber, which was the former meeting of the Imperial Patriarchs, and was a little excessively large.

The officer presiding over the meeting stepped up to the front desk, and the officers sitting on either side had quieted down, three-fifths of the civilian officers, and two-fifths of the noble officers.

One was dressed in a crisp military uniform. The soldier wearing the rank of major general took off his cloak and stood on the podium: "Everyone. Because the military officials have more important matters today, I will preside over this meeting. ”

"Yes, sir!" replied in unison, but they all wondered in their hearts, why didn't they see the familiar commander presiding? This major general must have just been promoted, and he was still a colonel when he saw him the other day...... However, this major general, in the eyes of nobles and civilian officers, he was a pleasing figure, because he came to His Majesty Cohen's side with the General Staff.

In the eyes of the aristocratic officers, he had the status of a nobleman and was a man of his own. In the eyes of civilian officers, he has fought side by side with everyone since the early days of the Dark Province, having eaten in one pot and drunk water in a cup, and is a trustworthy fellow.

"I shall now call the meeting to order, then. The major general nodded: "The first item on the agenda of today's meeting is to discuss the newly created thirty legions, we know that the establishment of the three major legions is already overscale, and the establishment of a wing is even larger than a corps, and for an empire, such an establishment is obviously very inflexible......

The aristocratic officers lowered their heads in unison and picked up the Wen Jiàn in front of them to look at it, while the civilian officers focused their eyes on the Major General presiding over the meeting, collecting every word he said in their ears - they were illiterate and could not read Wen Jiàn at all.

"The establishment of thirty legions will be attached throughout the country. The major general asked people to hang up a huge map, took out the map and explained: "Among them, strategic points, transportation arteries and resource provinces will be important stations, and border defense is also part of the responsibility......

"I'm sorry sir. A noble officer raised his hand: "I want to ask a question." ”

"Allow, ask!" In keeping with the tradition of His Majesty Cohen, questions are allowed at any time at any meeting.

"What is the approximate number of these legions, and what about the soldiers?" asked the noble officer, "The command system, is it directly under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor or under the command of the military headquarters?"

"Hey, weird. Before the major general could reply, a civilian officer said, "If the army does not obey the emperor's orders, whose orders should it obey?"

Before he could finish his words, a second voice answered in the corner: "Listen to the second Luman." ”

In the eyes of the civilian officers, this is a joke, or it is not intended yet, but in the eyes of the noble officers, it is a naked provocation, especially in the second sentence, which is a humiliation to all the nobles!

All the noble officers immediately stood up with a "whoop", glaring angrily at the civilian officers, and most of the civilian officers did not understand their behavior very well...... But the other party stood up with bad intentions, and they also lazily stood up and pretended to be good.

"What are you doing? Did I give the order to stand up?" The people who have been around Korn have a special charm, and the change of soft and hard attitudes is also quite rapid, and the gentle eyes of the major general swept over the venue, and immediately became extremely majestic: "Sit down for me!"

There was a stern reprimand from the major general. The officers slowly sat down. But an atmosphere of unease had spread through the venue.

"Do not forget who you are. Your allegiance to the Kaida family, your allegiance to the Empire. You fought so hard for these reasons, and I don't want to hear what you just said again. The major general knocked on the podium in front of him: "Back to the topic just now...... The size of each of our corps will depend on the specific situation, and each branch of the army will be different, with between 10,000 and 20,000 people. The command system is in line with the three parties, and in peacetime, the deployment of personnel and the location of the station are subject to the arrangements of the military headquarters, and the training and defense affairs are subject to the arrangements of the commander of the theater. And in wartime, several legions will form a group. Commanders were sent by His Majesty the Emperor...... His Majesty the Emperor can overstep the command at any time. ”

Because the major general's words contained too much important information, the tension in the scene eased somewhat, and another noble officer asked: "Then may I ask the sir, the relationship between the garrison and the locality, and what obligations and responsibilities do we have to the locality?"

"You don't need to interfere in local policing, they have a garrison. The major general replied: "In liaison with local affairs, His Majesty the Emperor will set up a theater command structure, and at that time a theater commander will give you orders - if there is a large-scale violence or natural disaster in the locality, you can deal with it in a timely manner at the request of the local interior officer." ”

"And what about troop movements?"

"It's just that you have to pay special attention to one thing, and that's the most important thing. Without the order of His Majesty the Emperor, you must not take your troops out of the war zone. The Major General said in a very solemn tone: "If you take it out." You will be regarded as a rebel by the military judge, and no one can save you, not even the emperor, nor can the capital punishment pardon order pardon the rebel. ”

"Hehe, I heard that it is very troublesome for nobles to go out. The voice that stirred up an incident sounded faintly in the corner again: "Don't bring more guards to show off your might, and you lose your head." ”

"Who the hell is it—" The aristocratic officer who asked finally couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and shouted: "As a man, if you have something to say, stand up and say, sneaking like a bedbug!"

Maybe he was just talking about the civilian officer who answered, but he used the wrong word, bedbug, which has always been the general term for untouchables or slaves by the aristocracy, and this is what civilian officers can't stand the most...... It was lively, and there were civilian officers jumping up at that time.

"Noble bastard, what are you talking about?" this is a short officer, he stood directly on the chair: "Don't scold, come and fight with grandpa, and climb out with your bare ass if you lose!"

"A bunch of ignorant fools. Because of the promotion in their throats, most of the noble officers could not suppress their feelings: "Come on! Let me show you what a real nobleman is today!"

"Quiet—quiet!" Major General slapped the podium, "Silence me!"

It's a pity that the angry officer didn't listen to him.

"You stinking shit - it's not like we're fighting, you're fucking done!"

"His Majesty the Emperor has made you an officer, which in itself is already a great honor - you don't know how to report and have no shame!"

"you x-you're getting impatient!"

"The honor of nobility must not be tarnished, and we must protect our reputation!"

When the two sides were gearing up and were about to rush forward to fight, the door of the conference room was kicked open with a loud bang! In the loud noise, the carved and gold-encrusted doors of the two conference halls were kicked open, and a black shadow flew in with a fierce wind! The officer in the quarrel turned his head in surprise and saw this black shadow kicking away the first major to meet him!

A noble officer who was close to the door took a step forward in the aisle, stretched out his left hand, put his right fist at his waist, put on a calm posture, and shouted with great majesty: "Who-stop!"

The man in black lifted his cloak and strode over without saying a word. He was tall, wearing an old-fashioned dark soldier's uniform, with a face scarf covering his face, and his exposed eyes were shining, mixed with the majestic momentum of the whole person, giving people a strange and oppressive feeling, and the heavy killing intent made people feel chilled in their hearts.

The position of the noble officer was some distance from the other officers, as a nobleman, as a soldier, honor and duty did not allow him to retreat, seeing the man in black getting closer and closer, he knew that he could only rely on himself at this time - he lowered his head slightly, focused his eyes on the shoulders of the man in black, mentally calculated his steps, and prepared to punch.

The other officers saw that the situation was not right, and where did they have the leisure to quarrel. There was an assassin in the palace, so why did it happen? Some people had already rushed outside to report the news, and many more people surrounded them in twos and threes -- all of them were soldiers who were used to crawling and fighting, and who was fighting on the front, who supported on the side, and who was on standby on the periphery, and a few glances were assigned.

When he was still seven or eight steps away from the noble officer, the pace of the man in black changed, and the officer next to him only looked at his body for a shake, and the person had already arrived in front of the noble officer—the noble officer had already prepared, and in the shouting, he hit him with a heavy fist in the chest!

With a soft "poof", the man in black grabbed the officer's fist with his left hand, squatted sideways, and punched the opponent into a volley. Then, with his left hand, he pulled back the noble officer who was flying in the air and kicked it again...... The poor aristocratic officer had already fainted in the air, and his body rolled helplessly, rushing the people who came from behind to pieces.

The man in black quickly followed, punching and kicking all the way, elbowing and hitting the knee, and a dozen or so officers who rushed to the front fell to the ground.

"Catch him, and go up together—ah!" the brigadier general standing on the podium was giving orders, but was punched away by the man in black who was flying all the way, and then, the man in black turned around, and swept the officers in the audience at a glance, and the contempt in his eyes could be felt even by a three-year-old child.

"Smack!", a civilian officer dismantled the chair and gave the legs to the people around him, or unintentionally, two noble officers around him got this "weapon...... Dozens of officers who shared the same hatred and hatred had gloomy faces and surrounded the podium.

"Did him!" someone ordered. The rest of the people rushed up, and the chair legs in their hands smashed down on the man in black!

The man in black snickered, his voice was sharp and cold, his hands opened at the same time, and he drew an arc on both sides of his body, and all the people who rushed up were shrouded in a cloud of red smoke, and the strong smell of medicine spread along the podium...... The people in front of them fell down in an instant, stuck in their throats with tears streaming down their faces, coughing non-stop, and finally kicked off the podium one by one by the people in black.

The rest of the people were puzzled by the scene in front of them, but the man in black did not intend to let them go, in this huge conference hall, there were different colors of medicinal powder flying everywhere, and the strange screams of the officers came and went, and they never stopped, some people were itching, some were shouting numbness, and some people fell to the ground softly and couldn't even move a finger......

But it has to be said that the willpower of these officers is very strong, and it will not be long before they will get up from the ground, clench their fists and rush up again. Especially those civilian officers, although they were beaten by the men in black and bled profusely, they didn't care how many times they fell, and they were ashamed of the noble officers.

The man in black took materials from the spot, picked two chair legs, and played a tiger and a tiger, regardless of the nobles and commoners, from the top of his head to his ankles, all the way "crackling", occasionally screaming, vowing to beat them until they could not stand up......

At last, all the officers fell to the ground, and no one could get up, and the hall was in shambles, there were no screams, no wailings, only heavy gasps, and nearly a hundred pairs of angry eyes.

In the unconvinced eyes of the officers, the man in black shook his head, let out a sigh that could not be finished, and then dropped the murder weapon in his hand and stretched a big lazy waist. Just when the flames of humiliation ignited in the eyes of the officers, he clapped his palms and pulled off his hood in a moment...... After seeing this person's face clearly, the expressions on the faces of nearly a hundred officers froze, and they couldn't say a word one by one.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the Imperial First Military Discipliner, Tif. Lorenzo, accompanied by several officers, hurried into the main palace.

"What the hell is going on?" Lorenzo was originally presiding over a meeting in the front palace, but he was dragged in halfway and he was very unhappy: "What happened to the officers who held the meeting? Why don't you let the people from the military department solve it?"

"The commander of the military department was summoned to the harem by His Majesty the Emperor, and I heard that it was a very important matter to deal with. The officer who accompanied him replied cautiously, "There's a strange thing going on in the room, and it's not fitting for anyone else to know." (To be continued......)
