Chapter 952: Entering the Palace
After the court-martial, Prince Norton was suddenly summoned by Podo XIII to enter the palace for deliberations. Prince Norton smiled wryly. It must have been for the outcome of the trial that Hata XIII summoned him to the court.
I really don't know what this emperor thinks. If he left this kind of thing to their military headquarters, why did he bother to do so much? The money embezzled by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials was enough to build several Tenth Fleets, and he didn't care about it, and let these moths toss and turn the country into a miasma. Now that Anne is leading the Tenth Fleet on a mission, he is ambushed by the Deramatic Empire's ace fleet and wiped out, and he is enthusiastic.
Could it be that he was bent on letting Anne die? Anne and him had no grievances! A little Anne would not be stupid enough to offend the Emperor! Moreover, he did not offend him in high esteem! No, could it be because of Marshal Lucas?
Wouldn't it? Podo XIII wouldn't be careful about this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, would he? and Marshal Lucas didn't deal with it, and now his granddaughter had an accident, so he fell into the ground, right?
Before entering the palace, Prince Norton thought a lot.
Bodo XIII waited for Prince Norton in his study. When the eunuchs of the palace brought Prince Norton into his study, Porto XIII greeted him with a smile.
"The old minister sees His Majesty, may His Majesty live forever!" Prince Norton saluted to Bowa XIII.
"Uncle Huang is exempt! Please sit down. "At this moment, Bodo XIII has a completely different attitude from before, as if he has changed someone, which makes Prince Norton more vigilant. Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
After Prince Norton took his seat, he asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the so-called matter of recruiting the old minister here?" Prince Norton is the uncle of Bodo XIII, so he is naturally qualified to sit down.
Bodo XIII thought to himself: You old fox, you know why the emperor called you, but you still pretend not to know. Okay, the emperor will have fun with you, an old fox.
Bodo XIII didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Uncle Huang, this time the emperor summoned you to the palace, not for anything else, but for today's military court trial." β
Prince Norton said aloud: "Your Majesty, the trial process has been transmitted to you synchronously, as for the trial result, you have objections, so the specific result has not yet been given." β
"The Emperor knows all this. The emperor wants to ask the emperor what the verdict will be?"
"Your Majesty, the verdict is not something that Lao Chen can do alone, we must comprehensively consider the opinions of all parties, and then come up with the verdict, of course, we will definitely consider the opinions of Majesty XiΓ seriously, and we must also give an explanation to Majesty. With such an official tone, Bodo XIII was naturally noncommittal.
"Uncle Emperor, do you believe what Anne said?" said Bodo XIII abruptly diverted the subject.
Prince Norton was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Although the story is very bizarre, the old minister still believes it a little. Anne is a soldier, the best cadet ever produced by the Royal Imperial Military Academy, and she doesn't just make up stories to fool us. β
Bodo XIII nodded and said, "Well, the credibility is still quite high. What do you think of what she said about the existence of the mole?"
Prince Norton said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that there are no traitors among the seven people in our military department, maybe it is really too much of a coincidence. The First Fleet of the Deland Empire is an ace fleet, and its equipment is much more advanced than that of the Tenth Fleet, perhaps they have advanced probes to detect the existence of the Tenth Fleet, and then preemptively ambush and take the Tenth Fleet by surprise. β
"What Uncle Huang said is very true. The seven of you are the pillars of the empire and the important ministers of the country, and the emperor does not believe that there are traitors among you. When Bordo XIII said this, Prince Norton was very happy.
Everyone loves to wear high hats, and Bodo XIII invisibly gave one to Prince Norton, can Prince Norton not be happy?
Prince Norton said with some concern: "The old minister is only worried about that strong man named Wu Lai, he may come to our empire." Wouldn't he be upset if he did come to the Empire and see us punish Anne?"
Bodo XIII said indifferently: "Uncle Huang, don't worry, it is estimated that people are just passing by, and they helped Anne." It's just that the first fleet of the Delan Empire didn't open his eyes, didn't know the masters, and provoked others, so he took a small punishment and a big warning. If he really looked up to Anne, he should have given Anne all the captured ships such as the Will, so that Anne would not be punished in any way, not even a court-martial. Only gave Anne some of the warships, indicating that he just felt a little pitiful for Anne, so he gave them to her, so that she would suffer less guilt when she returned home. "I didn't expect that although Bodo XIII was mediocre and incompetent, he still had a good grasp of people's hearts. If it weren't for Han Xue and the others to come, Wu Lai would have taken them back to the cultivation realm. Naturally, Hata XIII did not expect that Wu Lai would come to the Bowa Empire.
After listening to the words of Bowa XIII, Prince Norton also figured this out, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has a point. β
Bodo XIII smiled and said: "Okay, please also ask the imperial uncle to think more about the results of the trial, the total annihilation of the tenth fleet this time has caused a huge negative impact on the empire, in the eyes of this emperor, if you don't punish it severely, it is not enough to determine the heart of the army!"
Prince Norton shouted in his heart: "You idiot! If you sentence Anne to death, who will accept it? Who will dare to serve as the commander of the fleet in the future? If you sentence Anne to death because of defeat, this will make the already low morale even lower. β
It's just that Prince Norton didn't dare to say it. And, even if it was spoken, Hata XIII would not listen. This emperor was quite conceited, he couldn't listen to a lot of well-intentioned advice, and he often didn't know how to pretend to understand, and he was self-righteous. In military terms, he is an idiot.
"Master, do you want to pass on the conversation between Bodo XIII and Prince Norton?" Stark 1's voice sounded in Wu Lai's head.
"Take it. β
Wu Lai and the others clearly knew the content of the conversation between Bodo XIII and Prince Norton.
"It seems that this emperor really has a ghost!, otherwise why would he want to kill Anne so much!" Han Xue said hatefully.
"Starck 1, monitoring Podo XIII throughout the whole process, not letting go of any details. "Wu Lai gave the order to Stark 1.
Stark 1 immediately went to do it. With Stark 1's surveillance, even Bordo XIII going to the toilet and even having fun with his harem ladies can be seen clearly. Naturally, Bodo XIII did not know that his every move was under the surveillance of Starck 1. If he knew, he would definitely want to cry without tears. Who wants their privacy to be seen? The emperor, in particular, pays more attention to his privacy.
