Chapter 490 [The Great Benefactor of the Temple]

Governor Roman Fritz was an outlier throughout the officialdom of the Roland Empire.

Speaking of status, he was able to serve as governor of the province of Newhoven in the East China Sea, and he sat in that position for fifteen years. And countless wealthy nobles secretly coveted this fat shortage, but they never won him down.

But on the other hand, the Fritz governor is in the officialdom of the empire, but he actually does not have too deep roots and backstage forces. He was able to sit in the position of the feudal official in the province of Newhoven in the East China Sea, which was known as a place of gold everywhere, for ten years, relying on his outstanding ability and the amazing trust of the first emperor Marci in him!

The officialdom of the Roland Empire stipulated that the governor of a province was appointed for a term of five years. Generally speaking, the central government of the empire would not let a governor stay in the same place for too long for fear that the local officials would not be too big.

Generally speaking, the last term will be replaced, especially in economically developed areas, the position of governor in this kind of place is fat, you sit today and I will sit tomorrow, and the emperor also has to take care of and balance the various power factions.

It is already rare to be able to serve two governors in one place and stay for ten years.

And those who stayed for three terms and did not move for fifteen years...... Looking for the entire Roland Empire, I'm afraid there is only the "three regardless" places in Nulin Province.

But after all, Nulin Province is desolate and economically backward, and the empire purely regards it as a buffer zone with the Tulip family, and the so-called grandma doesn't love the uncle.

What kind of place is the province of Newhoven in the East China Sea? The sea is rich in resources, the pearl industry is developed, and the maritime trade is prosperous! It is an important opening for the empire to expand its territory on the sea!

Chen Daolin had carefully studied the life of this Fritz governor, and finally he came to his own speculation: the reason why the first emperor Marsch was so reliant and trusted this Fritz governor was probably ...... This former emperor originally wanted to train Fritz as a candidate for future prime minister!

Isn't it?

This Fritz Governor is definitely a first-class talent in terms of political affairs. He was also a good hand financially! Even his military talents were quite remarkable--he had spent time at the Imperial Military Academy, only to be discharged because he broke his leg. Especially in the military strategy of the navy, Governor Fritz has some outstanding points.

Before that, he spent time in the military department, in the Ministry of Finance, then as a local official in the south, and finally as the governor of a province in the East China Sea.

It can be said that he is a figure who is both civil and military! Wen Taowu has full experience and experience in civil affairs and financial endowments, governing localities, and sitting in high positions!

Such a person is simply the most suitable candidate for the prime minister who leads the overall situation!

It's not just Chen Daolin who guessed so. Even many high-level bigwigs of the empire, discerning people can see that the first emperor must have higher expectations for Governor Fritz like this.

Governor Fritz himself must have been aware of this situation and knew it in his heart, so he worked very hard during his fifteen years in the East China Sea.

Originally, he could have become a rising superstar in the imperial political arena and become a generation of famous ministers.

Pity...... A coup d'état within the royal family. ruined his life's struggle and hard work!

Shiloh succeeded in usurping the throne, and the first emperor died on New Year's Eve!

As soon as the first emperor died, Shiloh ascended the throne and became the new emperor. The new emperor. Naturally, you have to reuse the characters in your pockets.

As for those henchmen who were reused by the first emperor, they naturally had to be purged on a large scale!

Regardless of your ability, at this time, it's just about loyalty.

You are loyal to the Emperor. Shiloh will not use it. Even, it is likely to attract a killing cauldron.

Governor Fritz was in the palace on the night of the coup. also experienced the process of coup d'état, and he once stood up with other important ministers of the first emperor, stopped in front of the first emperor's seat, and faced the rebel butcher's knife - such a move, after letting Xiluo take the throne, how could he be reused?

In the end, Shiloh did not massacre his former ministers, but spared many people a way to live, which can be regarded as a scruple about influence and words in the history books.

It can be said that Governor Fritz, who originally did not have too deep roots in the imperial officialdom, was lucky to be able to escape with one life, and as for the official future, naturally there is no need to mention it.

An imperial minister who has spent his best years and fought a bloody path step by step, and a rising star in the political arena who was once almost recognized by everyone as the future prime minister......

But he was suddenly knocked down into the cloud by a stick, and he couldn't turn over again......

In the face of such a blow...... Even if you are a strong person, you are afraid that you will not be able to bear it for a while.

So, Governor Fritz collapsed.

Both physically and mentally, it almost collapsed.

......

After the coup d'état, Fritz and a group of other former emperor's confidants were imprisoned by Shiloh.

And in the past half a year, some of them saw hopelessness and finally defected to Hilo, and some were used by Hilo. Others, like Governor Fritz, still clinged to their integrity and dignity.

Just two months ago, Shiloh had gradually sat on the throne, whether it was political power or military power, he was basically stable, and at this time, he successively pardoned and released the imprisoned former courtiers.

It was at that time that Governor Fritz was released and regained his freedom.

Of course, his official position is gone, and all his official positions have been wiped out. Became a white body.

Of course, his original title of nobility remains. It's just that he has no official position, and it is not good to continue to stay in the imperial capital, so Governor Fritz had to return to his hometown with his family.

He knew very well that the imperial capital could not tolerate himself!

Shiloh can't tolerate himself! And his former in-laws, the Rollin family, will not tolerate himself after repenting of his marriage!

So Fritz is gone.

He took all his family members and servants with him, leaving only his son Lucius.

After all, Lucius is still a student of the Academy of Magic, and with this status, at least his son may become a magician in the future...... Officialdom doesn't have to think about it, Shiloh will never appoint anyone from the Fritz family for a day of reign.

......

Chen Daolin brought Lucius into his house and asked McQueen to bring a cup of hot tea for Lucius to sit down.

This is Chen Daolin's first introductory disciple. After drinking a cup of tea, my spirit calmed down a little, and I said my intention intermittently.

After Governor Fritz returned to his homeland...... To be precise, he was already sick on the way.

The future was forbidden, and the death of the former emperor to whom he was loyal had already destroyed all the spiritual power of this fifty-year-old man.

Governor Fritz, who was originally in good health, soon became too ill to get out of bed.

Just a few days ago, when Lucius broke into the city and made a big fuss about the emperor's wedding, the family in his hometown had already sent a letter.

When the letter arrived. Lucius had already been arrested, and when he was released, he returned to the academy to get the letter, and when he saw it, Luciuston was like five thunderbolts!

The letter said that his father, Governor Fritz, was critically ill and asked Lucius to rush back to his hometown to see his father for the last time...... Meantime......

It is likely to be discussed, the procedure for inheriting the title!

Lucius couldn't stop crying. After saying this, he looked at Chen Daolin pleadingly: "Teacher! You can save me, save my father! I, I, I know. You, your medical skills! Jill's eyes can be cured of ......."

At the mention of Jill's eyes, Chen Daolin couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Jill was originally Lucius's fiancée, she regretted marrying Shiloh, but she also treated her eyes, and at this moment facing Lucius, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"Don't worry. Chen Daolin said in a deep voice: "I don't know what your father's condition is, even if he is seriously ill...... It doesn't necessarily mean that there is no way to solve it. ”

He sighed and looked at the red-eyed disciple in front of him who was crying: "That's it, I'll go back with you, let's leave as soon as possible, and I'll find a way after I see your father." ”

Lucius raised his head and said yes in a loud voice, standing up and kneeling down for Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin grabbed him, frowned, and said, "Man, don't kneel down at every turn!" Lucius, you remember, always remember your dignity as a man. ”

After a pause, he sighed: "I already know about your big wedding incident, and I was originally going to scold you for this matter." Since she has remarried Shiloh, why do you have to go to the wedding and beg so much? As a man, you can't be so self-respecting! If you are so weak in the future, don't call me teacher again!"

After saying that, Chen Daolin immediately stood up, called McQueen and Sasha, and prepared to leave.

Naturally, McQueen and Sasha refused to stay, and both said that they wanted to leave with Chen Daolin - Carmen had already handed over these two students to Chen Daolin to teach, and Chen Daolin agreed after thinking about it for a while.

There was everything in the house, and soon McQueen brought back a few good horses.

Chen Daolin went to meet Carmen, explained the matter to Carmen, and said that once he had dealt with the affairs of Governor Fritz, he would return to the academy, and Carmen agreed.

The group set off on the same day.

The hometown of the Fritz governor was in a small town in the eastern part of the empire. It's not too far from the East China Sea.

Speaking of which, it is not too far from the nest of the Liszt family.

If you start from the imperial capital, if you take the land route, it will be slow, if you go down the Lancang Canal and along the river, it will be very fast, and if it is smooth, you can reach it in about seven or eight days.

When the group left the academy, they rode horses and galloped, along the main road towards the imperial capital, passed the imperial capital without entering the city, walked around the city, and went to the acropolis east of the imperial capital, where there was a wharf along the river, where you could find a boat to go down the river.

Chen Daolin and his entourage rode out of the magic academy, and immediately alarmed the officials and soldiers of the empire who were on guard around.

It took Chen Daolin and the others more than half a day to arrive at the Acropolis in the east of the imperial capital, and before they entered the city, there was already a horse team galloping across the road from the left side of the road, and it was blocking the road in front of everyone.

Chen Daolin stopped his horse and looked forward, his face moved slightly, he sat on the horse's back, and smiled faintly: "His Majesty the Pope?"

The team of horses that came was none other than the people of the Temple of Light.

Pope Heynckes sat on a white horse, holding the reins in one hand and a staff in the other. Behind him were more than a dozen members of the temple...... There are a few of them, with strong bodies and bright eyes, and at first glance they are the elite of the Holy Knights.

"Master Darling, looking at you, are you leaving the imperial capital?"

Chen Daolin laughed: "Anyway, Xiluo won't let me enter the imperial capital, so I'll just leave here and go to the east to take a look." ”

Heynckes' face moved, and he smiled: "That's just right." ”

He rode his horse a few steps forward, and glanced at Chen Daolin, Chen Daolin understood, and the two rode their horses to the side of the road together, away from the road, and talked in a low voice.

"I got a lot of talk from Master Darling that night, and I thought about it a lot when I went back. The idea of the overseas kingdom of God that you have pointed out is truly amazing. Heynckes said slowly: "It's just about exploring overseas, there is no news from the team sent before, if you want to take this path, you can only continue to send people to the sea for expeditions and expeditions, and you must always go through the route to ......."

Chen Daolin immediately understood, and glanced at the pope: "What do you mean?"

"I suddenly got news in the city that you had left the academy and were coming east, and thinking of Lucius' release today, I guessed that you were probably going to the East China Sea. You see, these people I've brought with me are some of the best in my church. I'm about to send them to the East China Sea, and then recruit men to form an expeditionary fleet!"

Chen Daolin couldn't help but gasp in his heart!

This Pope ...... I was really fooled by myself!

In this era, people were sent to sea...... That's really filling it with human lives!

That's it, anyway, there are people in his Temple of Light who are devout religious madmen, and he is willing to send people to death, so why should I stop him?

Chen Daolin nodded and said lightly: "Then what does His Majesty the Pope mean to stop me here?"

"When I go to sea, I always have to ask you for more advice, I originally planned to go to the academy to talk to you again, but since you are leaving, many things will be too late, I have brought these people here, I plan to let them follow you eastward. Along the way, if you have any questions about going to sea, I want to ask you for advice, and I hope you ......"

"There is a certain amount of knowledge. Chen Daolin immediately made a promise.

The Pope nodded, and said, "Your Excellency, if this plan can work, you will be the great benefactor of my Temple of Light!"

Great benefactor?

The Great Enemy is almost ......

Chen Daolin smiled secretly in his heart, but he made an awe-inspiring expression on his face.
