"The talents around Lu Man are withering, and the military spirit is all maintained by money, so there is no need to worry. One or two big wins were enough to shake his foundations. Knowing that his father had always been cautious, Cohen also carefully answered his father's question: "The trouble is other local provinces, and if you use troops rashly, you will turn the empire into a mess." If we use gentle means to win over, not only will the people be indignant, but even my heart will ...... It's going to be uncomfortable, too. ”

The prince patted Cohen on the shoulder and let out a long laugh: "This is a small problem, let me solve it for you." ”

"Is there any way?" Cohen asked, "How?"

"Internal affairs are like a tangled thread, you want to untie the difficulty, if you want to make it more messy, then it's easy...... But the best thing to do is to throw it away and make a new thread. Wei Su smiled: "It's just a few little governors, if you can't do this, then my prince didn't do it in vain?"

"That...... Dad, can you be clearer?"

"It's not appropriate to say it now, but I'll do it anyway, to calm the people's grievances and not to destroy their jurisdiction. The prince did not say anything to Cohen: "Actually, I'm not the only one who thinks about it, everyone has thought of these things for a long time." So everyone is full of energy, just waiting for you to come back and preside over the overall situation. ”

"I'm not going to let you down. Cohen assured in a resolute tone: "Absolutely not." ”

"If you want to run out to play in the future, at least tell your mother the time. Wei Su looked at his most troublesome son: "The three children are not around, and the mother will be very worried. ”

Cohen didn't know what to do, and replied honestly: "Okay." I'll do it next time. ”

"You're still going to run!" the answer made Wei Su smile wryly. But he was also aware of Cohen's character: "So. Do you know what you've been doing for these three months?"

"What's the result?" Cohen smiled embarrassedly: "Dad, you know too! My personality will be messy if I have been bored in one place for a long time, Dad, you just see the opportunity to let me out to breathe, okay?"

You are now in a special position, the core figure of the entire orthodox forces, and it will not be a trivial matter if something happens to you. The prince solemnly warned Cohen, and seeing that Cohen was thoughtful, he did not delve into it further. Changed his head: "Your assassination operation has made the two factions of the enemy clearer in a certain way, and most of the nobles of the middle faction have taken refuge in other empires. ”

"Is this a good or bad situation for us?"

"Well, they will wait until the war is over and then come back, so we can have a lot less scruples in future military operations. As soon as he talked about important things, the prince habitually lowered his voice: "When they come back, we can also excuse them for not making efforts to fight against the great cause of rebellion, and clean up the nobles of the empire in a 'small' way." ”

Cohen was stunned, and exclaimed in his heart - it's still Daddy's cunning!

"The last riot in the Holy Capital. I think you should be punished by a military judge, but you're not the same. Exempt. The prince sat down on a bench beside him: "Although your actions were reckless, it is worth the credit and demerits of burning a third of the rebels' logistical reserves and aborting their sneak attacks - but remember who you are now, and no matter how effective your actions may be, they cannot be compared to the safety of your life!"

"Yes—Dad, I know I'm a banner now. ”

"But do you know why so many people have gathered under your banner?" Wei Su chuckled and pointed at Cohen: "Why are they abandoning their homes and businesses and risking their lives to sneak past the rebel blockade to do things for you?"

"They ......" Cohen thought for a moment, and the faces of subordinate officials flashed in his mind, "what are they pursuing?"

"Yes, of course, people have pursuits, you just know that. The prince nodded approvingly, secretly glad that Cohen was sober: "After His Majesty Fichette was shot, two officials gave up their allegiance to you, and several others absconded. Of course, most of the officials remained, but among them, they were in the minority because of their loyalty to the royal family. ”

Cohen sighed, looked out the window, and said lightly: "I understand that most people are gambling, and they bet their life's wealth on me, hoping that I will win, and then I can give them a knighthood." ”

"It's normal for people to have desires, and a king has to take advantage of that human nature. The prince smiled: "We don't have any extra money in our hands now, and now at this critical moment, what do we use to keep these officials vigorous?"

"Oops! Cohen turned around and smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Ascend to the throne! Anyway, it's a matter of time. Wei Su looked at his son and persuaded softly: "Let the officials know that they are working for His Majesty the Emperor, so that they can give them hope." ”

Cohen scratched his head, looking helpless.

"What? don't you want to ascend the throne yet?" Although he was anxious, Wei Su's tone was still very calm: "This should have been held three months ago, and if it drags on for a day, it will be more difficult to implement. ”

"Dad, actually...... I've just gone to talk to Fischette, and I've borrowed the throne from him!" Cohen dragged a chair over from him and sat down across from his father, "When he ascends the throne is no longer a problem for me. But I thought that since the enthronement ceremony was so lively, we might as well take this opportunity to do something, so ...... I would like to hold the enthronement ceremony in the Holy Capital and invite all the royal families to attend. ”

Wei Su listened quietly, but he was carefully savoring Cohen's words in his heart, and he could understand the "conversation" between Cohen and Fischett, because until now, Wei Su was also a little reluctant to accept the fact that his friend who had accompanied him for half his life died...... But he was very interested in Cohen's words, and if Cohen had thought about anything, it meant that Cohen had fully recovered and was preparing to become an emperor.

"That's kind of interesting, what do you want to do with this ceremony?" the prince leaned forward, "tell me about it." ”

"It's not interesting to say it too early. Cohen smiled mysteriously: "Dad, you just look at it, it definitely has an effect." ”

"Then how do you solve the current situation?" Wei Su spread his hands: "The name is not right." Words don't go well. ”

"Huh. Don't they all call me Majesty now?" Cohen exhaled, "That's fine. I'll find time to have a fight with the dean...... First, I can tell everyone about the time I ascended the throne, second, it can boost morale, third, it can break the status quo of not talking between me and the dean, and fourth, it can improve the status quo of the dean. ”

As soon as Cohen finished speaking, Wei Su was already laughing.

"Well, since you decide so. After laughing, the prince showed a faint evil expression on his face: "I understand this person, dean, he is angry with you now, and he almost burns at one point...... When are you going to quarrel with this?"

"I think there will be a meeting tomorrow. Cohen leaned over. Squeezed his eyebrows with the prince: "Let's have a big fight in front of the officials before tomorrow's meeting, and we can also liven up the atmosphere of the meeting." ”

"Yes, yes, that's a good idea......"

The two fathers and sons talked secretly for more than an hour, arranged the route to be taken, and reached a consensus on several important matters, and then went downstairs to break up.

This night in the Dark City is peaceful, while this night in the Holy Capital is full of madness.

When no one else is around, fear, despair, and unwillingness...... All kinds of emotions will mingle around Lu Man, making him confused about the future. Let him be hysterical. Luman began to fear being alone, afraid to stay in a dark corner.

But in front of people. He still had to lift his spirits, even if it was a slap in the face, he had to keep his face flushed. Glasses of liquor flowed into his stomach, melted into his blood, and supported Luman's will to fight, leaving him in an inexplicable euphoria.

The cause of this qiē is simply because there is no news of a person's death. Although Luman offered a hefty bounty of six million gold coins for this, he had not been able to get Cohen until now. Al Qaeda's head – even the slightest bit of news to come!

The only knights of light that they could rely on had returned, the priests of the temple no longer wished to come to the palace as guests, and the letters from the cardinal priests were lukewarm, which did not bode well. Although the balls were held at the palace every night, with the lights and crowds, Luman knew that if he lost power, these people would disappear without a trace......

If it weren't for the officials who were adopted since childhood, Lu Man would have been unable to hold this situation for a long time, and soon after, he would have to rely on them to fight with the Kaida family......

The young prime minister walked across the dance floor and found Lu Man leaning on the throne: "Your Majesty, are you drinking again?

"It's you. Seeing the person in front of him clearly, Lu Man nodded with satisfaction: "Is there something wrong? You rarely come to the palace at night." ”

"Good news. The prime minister smiled and handed over a notebook: "Just this afternoon, all the war materials needed by His Majesty have been prepared. ”

"That's great news. After looking through the notebook, Lu Man immediately came to his senses: "It's really hard for you, it's been completed in such a short time...... Didn't they send us supplies, how did you do that?"

"Returning to His Majesty. The prime minister said a little shyly: "Your Majesty has used some ...... Not very perverse methods, smuggling and intimidation, finally got all of this. Ready to ship?"

"Get lucky!" A hint of a smile spread across the corners of Lu Man's mouth: "As for the methods, don't worry about these, compared to other empires, our behavior is not dirty. Go back and rest, you're going to have to preside over the meeting tomorrow. ”

The prime minister said goodbye to Lu Man, returned to the mansion with a relaxed face, and enjoyed dinner leisurely.

"Huh, happy again, rare!" the concubine put a glass of red wine in front of the prime minister, and sat down as she spoke: "What happened again." ”

The prime minister smiled but did not answer.

The concubine pretended to be angry and snatched the knife and fork from the prime minister's hand: "If you don't say it, you are not allowed to eat it again-"

"Do you remember what happened last time?" the prime minister raised his glass, "I was still lamenting that he wouldn't remember us anymore after he became a demon of slaughter." ”

"Yes. The concubine nodded: "Do you have news of him?"

"I received an order from the eldest princess in the morning, and I learned from it that ......" The prime minister snickered and leaned his head over: "The little princess's demonic magic didn't come home, and that one escaped." ”

The concubine was stunned, and then understood. Stretched out his hand and slapped the prime minister: "You're going to do the opposite." Would you like to let Princess Celestia know you're so happy?"

"What's this?" the prime minister snorted a few times: "It's not that I messed things up." ”

"Then ......," the concubine thoughtfully, "you have news of him." ”

"Clever. In the afternoon, I got the news that he had appeared in the Demon Alliance, but he disappeared a few days ago, and I think he should have gone back to the Dark Line. The prime minister had a smug expression: "So, I decided to push Lu Man and solve the material problem for him." ”

"I said, how could you be happy! The concubine pointed her finger at the prime minister's forehead: "Poor Lu Man! I don't know if I was sold by you." ”

"Hey, how can you say that you are close to me, can't I deal with a human who is pleasing to the eye?" The prime minister straightened his chest: "As a demon general, you should have the right to choose, right?"

"Yes! I didn't say no. But...... You're so sure it's you and Cohen in the future. What if the eldest princess changes to a demon general on a whim?"

"Don't say such disappointing words, okay?" the prime minister pouted: "Although it is not impossible...... But I've been doing it for so long. With Cohen again. Kaida has met, and the eldest princess should not send other demons to replace me. ”

"Who knows? do what's in front of you! Al Kaida returns to the Dark Province, and war is imminent. The concubine smiled and comforted the prime minister: "I went outside a few days ago, and I actually found a good house. ”

"It's up to you. The prime minister nodded and replied, a little absent-minded, but also a little expectant: "In May, that friend can send troops, with his strength." Storming the Holy Capital this summer should not be a problem. Next year...... Or at the end of this year, I will be able to meet him in a new capacity. ”

"Have you forgotten?" the concubine covered her mouth and chuckled: "People want you to meet you as you are......"

The prime minister coughed dryly. Look away.

Darkcity Governor's Palace.

Cohen was lying on Diel's bed, holding Winsley's little hand and pretending to sleep, while several royal concubines sat next to him, listening to White Shadow tell the story of the dragons. Kelly and Dill had a lot of questions, and the white shadow sitting next to Philin only answered them one by one.

Dragons are much more intelligent than humans, and they are far prouder than humans. In terms of Bai Ying's character, if these were not Cohen's wives, she would have turned her face away a long time ago.

But today, I saw Cohen's attitude towards his wife with my own eyes, and knew that these women were Cohen's heart, so I couldn't afford to be lazy, so I had to force my spirit to tell them stories...... Although the white shadow looks like a girl, if you look at it by human standards, she is not young.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen. Lucy walked to the door of the room and rescued the suffering White Shadow: "It's late at night, please rest in peace." ”

Finally waited for this sentence. Cohen opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Lucy, you're so late, I've been listening to stories all night." ”

Lucy smiled, and the white shadow at the table was half dead.

"Let's go back to our room! There's a lot going on tomorrow. Felin stood up and beckoned to everyone, "Cohen should stay here with Diel." ”

"Sister White Shadow went to my side to speak. Kelly was already attracted by the story of the dragons, and dragged the white shadow away: "Let's sleep together tonight." ”

"Kelly be careful!" Cohen smirked, "White Shadow will transform into a dragon at night and ......hold you down."

"Don't be afraid. Kelly had already pulled the white shadow away: "Sister White Shadow don't pay attention to him." ”

After the group left, Lucy closed the door, and Dill walked to the bedside, staring at Cohen with a weird smile.

"What, what's wrong?" Cohen knew it was going to be bad, but he didn't dare to move.

"Are you still running?" Dill looked at him with a smile, his hands behind his back.

"Look, it sees......" Cohen laughed, cautiously.

"Did you know that for a bride, the groom is gone on their wedding night......" Dill asked softly, "what does that mean?"

"I ...... Admit the punishment, please punish me severely!" Cohen raised his hand in surrender very happily: "But I have already been punished once today, can I raise my noble hand?"

"No problem!" Dill put his hand to his chest and shook a magic scroll, "As long as you give me a sweet wedding night." ”

"Hey, it's magic! can't mess around......"

With a flash of white light, Cohen's voice stopped abruptly......

Cohen was tortured by a tough lady until midnight, and then Cohen fought back, and the couple's war ended at dawn.

The lights in the room came back on, and Dill rested his head on Cohen's chest, his red hair scattered and shy.

"Hehe, I'm the fourth wife. It took a long time before Dill chuckled: "But I was the first to have a husband." ”

"This doesn't seem to be worth boasting about, right? If it gets out, Young Master Ben won't be laughed at and lose his big teeth?" Cohen pinched the tip of Diel's nose: "It's time to get up, there are a lot of things going on today." ”

"No matter, you have to hold me until dawn. Dill turned over lazily: "This is my wedding night." ”

Cohen nodded helplessly and reached out to hug Diel: "Then you tell me how the darkness has changed in the past few months." ”

"Change!" Dill indulged in Cohen's embrace, "I don't want to talk too much now......"

"Don't want to say it!" Cohen smiled, "What's the matter, do you still hate me now?"

"What?"

"Didn't you shout that you only hated me when I threw you into the sea that time?"

"Yes, I've been hating it until now! I'm going to hate it forever. Dill closed his eyes and whispered, "Not only hate, but also love......" (To be continued......
