There has always been only Cohen who cheats on others, and no one else has cheated on Cohen, and today is the first time that the emperor has learned the rogue methods of others, and it feels very novel.

"Good, good. Cohen laughed: "Since you don't want to get up, then you should all raise your heads, straighten your backs and speak." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although the Emperor did not promise to forgive him, the governors knew from the Emperor's tone that he was in a good mood, so they did not panic, and straightened up one by one, making a pitiful look, and looked at Cohen with blank eyes.

"I'm glad today, I don't want to mention those things in the past, but you have already mentioned them, so I will also say a few words, so that you don't have to lie on the ground and refuse to get up every time you see me. Cohen unhurriedly picked up the water cup and took a sip: "I know, you are all well-known men, and if you have such a knot in your heart, of course you will have trouble sleeping, okay! I will untie this ...... for you today."

Cohen continued to talk about it, the governors did not know what was going on, and only Prince Rick understood in his heart that the emperor was dragging his feet for nothing more than asking them to kneel for a while.

“…… As aristocrats, of course, everyone knows that they are responsible for what they have done, and although it has been said for a long time, and I and I will feel uncomfortable, it is better to say it. After feeling that the nonsense had been said and that the knees of the Governors had fully enjoyed the hardness of the ground, Cohen turned around and got to the point: "I know that you have done things under Lu Man before, raising supplies for him to train his army, and some of the Governors have sent troops to attack the Dark Province. ”

"Please forgive me. Governor Velun bowed his head again: "Please forgive us for our sins. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to plead guilty. I'm not done with your faults. Cohen waved his hand, "You're the Governor of Veron, aren't you?"

"Your Majesty is Velon. ”

Cohen looked at Veron. He said lightly: "In the early days of the Lu Man Rebellion. You are not in a hurry to change the flag, Lu Man has sent three envoys to lobby in a row, but the result is all in vain. Aside from my Kaida family, you're one of the last provincial governors to hold out, isn't that you?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Governor Velun had already put his head on the ground, and said silently: "Lu Man sent an army of 100,000 to surround my main city, and the minister only had more than 10,000 troops. There are more than 100,000 people in the city...... There is even a temple that spreads rumors in front of the ministers...... The minister is a last resort, and it is a big mistake. ”

"I know that, too. Cohen smiled slightly, and said something that others didn't understand: "If we don't surrender tomorrow, my army will slaughter all the inhabitants of the city, and your family will be doomed......"

"Your Majesty ......" Governor Velun was stunned on the spot, because what Cohen just said was the ultimatum that Lu Man gave him when he was besieged that day, and the emperor was thousands of miles away, but he would actually know this!

To the surprise of the governors, however, Cohen named them one by one, and told them what they had done during the rebellion. Including the contents of the letters exchanged with Lu Man, even many unknown things were told by the emperor. A cadre of people was so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat...... If the emperor really wants to investigate, it is not enough for some people to die ten times.

"Look, I know it all!" said His Majesty Cohen, "at the Chancellor's place, your files are piled up in a cabinet, and many people have asked me to punish you severely, but I have not done so, do you know why?"

"The ministers are stupid, please make it clear. "How dare the governors talk nonsense at this time?

"Because all of you here, after all, you helped me at the last moment of the war, and did not let the war spread to the whole country. Cohen stood up: "Although I also had the strength to attack the provinces that were not annexed at that time, what do you have to say, I think that this war will stop at the Holy Capital, and everyone has contributed, which is the luck of the empire and the people." Therefore, this merit of all of you is just right. ”

Hearing the emperor say this, the governors can be regarded as relieved.

"It is precisely because of your expressions that I will let you come to the Holy Capital as a witness to the enthronement ceremony. Cohen walked around the table, walked slowly to the middle of the governors, and said emotionally: "On the other hand, you are all officials who have been officials for many years, and you naturally have a lot of experience in governance, which is also the wealth of the empire, so I want to meet with you, I want to discuss with you, and I hope you will help me Cohen." Al Qaida governs the country!"

"Your Majesty ......" The emperor's words were so amazing, the governors looked at Cohen, and their heads almost lost the ability to think, which is the rogue governor in the past, such words, only His Royal Highness Fichette can say it!

"Don't you believe it, I've been amazed at the change I've made lately!" The emperor bent down and helped Governor Wei Lun up first, but as soon as he was grabbed by the emperor's hand, Wei Lun had no room to resist at all: "The ministers are not without objections to my decision, and in their hearts, their worries are also somewhat reasonable...... Thanks to the persuasion of several princes, the ministers of the court agreed with me. ”

Looking at the attitude of the emperor, and thinking about the agreement he signed with the nobles yesterday, the governors felt another kind of uneasiness in their hearts.

The emperor lifted the governors up from the ground one by one, and quipped: "...... You are Dulang. Governor Siso, are your two daughters okay with my wife, who have been guests at my house and have become good friends?"

"Ah! Back to the emperor's majesty, they are all fine, and they are in the holy capital right now. "Durang. Of course, Xisuo will not let go of an opportunity to get closer to the emperor: "They all clamored to come to see His Majesty, but I was afraid that His Majesty would have too many things, so I didn't agree." ”

"I invited them to my enthronement ceremony, and after not seeing each other for many days, the sisters will definitely be even more beautiful. Cohen was amused, but he solemnly said to the governors, "I invite all your families, and if you can come, I will send you invitations immediately......

"His Majesty the Emperor. Governor Veron, who was standing behind, finally made up his mind, and he plucked up his courage to interrupt Cohen's small talk: "Please listen to me, Your Majesty." ”

Cohen turned to face him and said kindly, "Of course." ”

"We are all sinners, thanks to the grace of His Majesty the Emperor. We can be summoned to the Holy Capital to discuss state affairs. The corners of Governor Veron's mouth twitched. With a heavy face, he slowly knelt down: "But I'll wait until I come to the Holy Capital." I didn't know how to serve the emperor, but I was deceived by rumors, so that it was a great crime to privately speculate on the intentions of the emperor's majesty - please punish the emperor heavily!"

With him taking the lead, the governors knelt down again, but this time they seemed to kneel differently from the trick just now, at least they all brought some sincerity.

"You mean. Cohen rubbed his chin. Pretending not to know: "After you came to the Holy Capital, did something?"

"Yes!" Governor Wei Lun knew that if he missed this opportunity in front of him, his people would be really in danger, so he turned his heart sideways: "Please punish Your Majesty heavily!"

"Will your actions hurt the lives of some people?" Cohen asked in a low voice, "or will it affect the Empire?"

"No...... Although the ministers are bastards, they still have this conscience. And in this matter, we can still find a way to save it!" Governor Velun couldn't help but scold himself in his heart for being stupid when he remembered the signing of the agreement.

"Well, I forgive. Cohen nodded, and said something no one could have imagined: "I forgive you." ”

"Emperor Majesty Xià ......"

"Because we haven't met each other and we don't know each other. That's why I was suspicious. Cohen sighed, "It's human nature, you can get up." I promise you not to pursue this matter again. ”

"We will remember His Majesty's great kindness, and from now on I will repay His Majesty!" Governor Wei Lun, who has always been smart, couldn't find a more suitable way to express his feelings at this time, so he had to roll up his sleeves, bite his finger and draw a family crest graphic of the Kaida family on his left arm: "From now on, I, Wei Lun, will be your servant, if you have different intentions, people and gods will abandon you!"

Governor Velun swore resolutely, and the others were stunned, but since Velon, as the leader, had done so, it would be very unethical for the other governors not to follow, so they did the same, and they all did the same.

"Get up, I know what you want, so don't talk nonsense. Cohen rose up as usual Governor Lavelon and whispered to him, "I will give you a day to settle this matter, can you do it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my best to save this ending. ”

"Well, sit down—get your drinks! you'll all get me drunk tonight!" Cohen laughed again, and then turned to the chief of chamberlains, "Go and tell the Governors that the Governors are drunk, and that they will adjourn for a day to-morrow!"

Prince Rick on the side was amused, but in order to make the play better, he immediately gave someone a look.

"I wish His Majesty the Emperor a healthy family, and I wish my Sbia Empire a prosperous future. "Durang who got the hint. Hisoka hurriedly raised his glass: "Cheers, everyone!"

"Cheers!" shouted in unison, taking a sip of the wine.

The banquet ended two hours later, and the governors were staggered by the emperor and were to be helped away by the chamberlains.

Knowing that a thorny problem had been solved, Cohen's Majesty was in a good mood. He had just sent off his eldest brother when he turned around and found Princess Felin standing behind him, looking at him with a smile on her face.

"Why are you here?" Cohen held out his hand, "I came here because I didn't want to disturb you." ”

"Tell me more!" Fei Lin's light blue dress fluttered gently in the evening breeze, she gathered the hair flying in her ears, and put her hand in her husband's palm: "The sound of your wine is so loud that you can hear it across the lake, and my mother wants me to come and see it." ”

"Since you're here, take a walk with me, such a good view, of course, you have to find someone to share. Cohen took Felin's hand and walked towards the lake, turning back and telling the guards, "Stay away." ”

"How about dinner today?" Fei Lin asked softly, "According to my husband's character, if nothing happens, it is unlikely that he will invite a stranger to dinner!"

Cohen smiled and told the story of what had happened between the governor and the nobles.

"Cohen, you should have told us about this sooner. After listening to this, Fei Lin said: "We are more familiar with these people, and it will be faster to solve them." ”

"Of course I know this, but since I ran into it, I should do it. Cohen stopped: "Besides, these days, you have been busy with things to ascend the throne, how can I bear to increase your burden again, although I am not a capable person, but I can help as much as I can!"

"Who said you can't do it!" said Firine patted her husband on the shoulder. I was also glad that my husband had changed: "What is the result of meeting with these governors?"

"These governors!" said the governors. Cohen couldn't help but shake his head: "It's not good." ”

"What?" asked Firin, surprised, "Are they unwilling to break their agreement with the nobles?"

"Agreements are trifles. And they promised me to settle this tomorrow, I mean, their people are too unreliable. Cohen took off his cloak, spread it on a bluestone by the lake, sat down first, and then made a "please" gesture to Firin: "Originally, I wanted to give up my prejudices and get to know them a little better, but I can meet them this time." I know who they really are—they wouldn't hesitate to betray me if they had the chance. ”

"Are you so sure?" Philin sat down beside Cohen, "Didn't anyone who was a little better find out?"

"As far as their appearance is concerned, no one is worth using, especially that Wei Lun, who is loyal on the outside, but is actually a very sleek and speculative person. For him, loyalty is nothing more than a high-sounding excuse. Cohen sighed: "This situation has made me re-examine the existing officials, although the traditional aristocracy has many problems, but there are also many talents...... On the Governor's side, there is really nothing to be desired. ”

"I agree with you about Velon. This governor is very scheming, and no place for such a person will reassure us. Fei Lin nodded: "But husband, if you pay attention." I should be able to find some talents in the governor, after all, he has been an official for decades, and he won't even have a person who can come to the stage, right?"

"You might as well sue me now. Cohen laughed: "It also saves me from thinking about everything." ”

"No, who told you to run alone to deal with this? Fei Lin deliberately raised her head: "Do it well! Husband, you will find this person." ”

"Okay!" Cohen, of course, knew it was a joke on her part, "I'll do it myself, won't I be able to solve it?"

Philin stared at her husband with clear eyes like waves, and covered her mouth and chuckled, laughing so much that Cohen was confused.

"Do you know that you are now more and more like His Highness Fichette, especially when it comes to dealing with government affairs, you are simply a copy of him. After laughing enough, Feline explained, "I'm so jealous!"

"This is different! The Sbia Empire was originally Fischet's, and when I deal with many things, I think about what he would do if Fischette was replaced......" Speaking of Fischet, Cohen shook his head again: "It's not that I think about it deliberately, I always think about it inadvertently." ”

"Will you think of me inadvertently?" Filyn leaned her head on Cohen's shoulder and asked shyly, "Could it be?"

"You pretend to be in my heart, of course I think!" said Cohen, "and, am I not still pursuing you? ”

"Your Excellency's approach is a little clumsy, but it is a good one...... Even if you barely pass!" Fei Lin's elegant light feather fan made the traditional gesture of an aristocratic maiden accepting her pursuit.

"I think my way of pursuing is very novel, and that I can quickly impress the hearts of beautiful and noble women......" Cohen's Raffi came up again, muttering dissatisfiedly, "It seems that the woman I am courting is a lady who affirms tradition, well—I should read a hymn in her praise!"

The feather fan concealed her small mouth, and Filyn looked more delicate and feminine. Encouraged by Film, Cohen cleared his throat and made a heart-warming gesture: "Oh, you are my bird, you are my sunshine, you purify the air around me like a clear spring, my beloved girl is like a lily among thorns......"

Seeing Cohen's funny appearance as he recited the love poem, Feline laughed and fell into her husband's arms. Cohen opened his arms and gently hugged Filine as she continued to read, and Filyn slowly calmed down and gradually became intoxicated.

“…… How sweet is your caress, your caresses are sweeter than wine, beloved girl, and there is nothing more painful than my heart is not your heart......"

The two snuggled quietly together, letting the spots of light that leaked through the shade of the trees gently sprinkle on them.

※※※ That night, somewhere in the mountains of the Sibian Empire.

In a small clearing in the valley, a bonfire was lit, and the mountain wind blew and the flames fluttered.

"Will he come?" a black-robed man whispered to his companion by the campfire, "Won't he come?"

"Will come, he will get the message. The companion who was also dressed nodded: "I'm not sure when it is, but he'll definitely come tonight." ”

"How do you know? I've heard he's a very strange person. ”

"It's his mission, he has to come...... If you don't want to die, you'd better keep your mouth shut. ”

"Bastard, my position is higher than yours, it's not easy to come with you, why do you order me? Isn't he to blame? Am I wrong? He's as stupid as you!"

"That's right. A third voice sounded behind the two of them, without the slightest emotion: "You're right. ”

The unashamed man did not answer, and fell limply on the grass.

"You're finally here. Another black-robed man sitting by the campfire asked in a low voice, not minding at all that his companion was dead, and not even looking back: "I brought a letter, very urgent, quite important. The Lord also said that if this action goes well, you will get what you have always wanted. ”

"Put down the letter and leave. ”

The black-robed man put down the letterhead as instructed, and rushed out without looking back.

A man dressed entirely in white walked up to the campfire and picked up the letterhead.

"Holy capital......" After reading the letterhead, the man in white threw the letterhead into the bonfire: "It's close." (To be continued......)
