Chapter 648

Black curtains of mourning have been hung around the palace.

In such a big palace, Charles, the little emperor of the Empire, was wearing a set of black robes. He sat in the middle of the top square and looked at the Ministers sitting on both sides. Among them are camisilo, the Minister of military affairs, the Minister of finance of the Empire, the president of the palace bodyguard, and the general of the imperial city guards.

Looking at the members of the core power circle of the Empire, little Charlie kept calm on his face, but his flashing eyes had betrayed his mood at the moment.

I'm the emperor!

I'm the emperor!

Now, I am the emperor at last!!

No longer a puppet, no longer a child sitting on one side watching his father give orders!!

The following people, the object of their direct loyalty, have become themselves!!

In this mood, Charlie was a little distracted.

A general of the imperial city guards was standing below and reporting something loudly, but Charlie didn't seem to hear a word. It was only after he finished that Charlie regained his mind and looked at the general who was staring at him waiting for his orders. So Charlie calmed down, waved and said, "I know."

Unknowingly, his tone, action and style all seem to imitate the habit of Prince Chen, the Regent.

The general of the imperial city guards reported the current situation of the army movements around the imperial capital. He said that the army was normal and the morale was stable. No one took the opportunity to make trouble. He reported the mobilization of the army at the gate of several cities, and asked Charlie if he could mobilize the army back. After all, the previous practice was only a temporary emergency, now it seems that everything is calm. There seems to be no need to disrupt the military system.

However, since the emperor did not speak, but simply said "I know", then the general did not dare to ask more, so he could only withdraw with a blank face.

Fortunately, camisilo, the military minister, gave him a look in time to reassure him.

Today's meeting is not the first time that little emperor Charles has officially presided over the government affairs.

After the death of the Regent three days ago, it was the third consecutive meeting in three days.

For these ministers who hold great power. During the three-day meeting, they almost completed all kinds of rituals for the change of power according to the text: first, they expressed their mourning, then they expressed their loyalty to the little emperor who was in charge of the government, and finally they reported the matters one by one to the little emperor for ruling.

There's nothing wrong with the degree. And the little emperor, who was in charge of the government, seemed to have nothing wrong with his behavior, except that he always seemed to be distracted.

However, there is an idea in everyone's heart, but no one dares to reveal it.

In this deliberately made out of the loyalty of the statement. In fact, there is a distrust hidden in everyone's heart.

Looking at the half young man sitting on it, can he really carry such a big empire?

Although the three-day meeting, the little emperor showed great concern and interest in government affairs, and seemed to be very diligent. and. I don't know whether it's intentional or unintentional. The little emperor seems to be imitating the Regent of his old place intentionally or unintentionally, no matter in his voice or gesture and attitude.

This is... Very

It's awkward.

Because no matter how much he imitates, he can't really lift the weight like the Regent. And everything in the heart of the city.

Even, looking at such a child, with a tender voice, but with a tone of imitation of the Regent's kind of slow voice, everyone's heart has no reason to give birth to a faint... Worry.

The Minister of etiquette reported on the preparations for the funeral.

Then the chancellor of the exchequer reported on the budget for the funeral. The old man hesitated for a moment and submitted a report on the military funding for next quarter. The Minister of military affairs, camisiro, also came forward and expressed the hope that the contents of this report will be judged by his majesty as soon as possible.

Then several officials reported the martial law situation of the imperial capital, asking for instructions on whether to continue the city gate control.

There are also mourning offerings written by the Pope himself from the temple of light in mainland China.

Mourning greetings from the chairman of the Magic Union.

Loyalty from the Knights Association.

Next came the information from the Minister of military, camisiro, about the situation of the troops in the northern theater. At present, everything seems to be OK. The previous orders have been passed on, and the troops on the front line have strictly implemented them. There was no unauthorized transfer.

There are also some provinces which are close to the imperial capital, and the mourning sent by governors from all over the country, and so on

Big and small things, Charlie listen and remember.

Unfortunately, after a while, he began to wander again.

Camisillo obviously noticed the little emperor's distraction, but he didn't break it. He still read out a military official document from the front line in his loud voice. After reading it, he looked up at the little emperor and said: "Your Majesty. What do you mean? "

"Oh..." Charlie's eyes were a little lost. Looking at camisilo standing below, the little emperor did not answer. But suddenly he asked, "front line... What's the news from tulip Duke?"

The little emperor did not ask anything else, but suddenly asked Duwei, Duke of tulip. Everyone's expression was a little strange.

All kinds of conjectures came out unconsciously

What does this little emperor mean?

Before, the Duke of tulip seemed to be under some pressure. However, during the military confrontation in the northwest, the military headquarters and the tulip family had a big fight. It was obvious that the relationship between the royal family and the tulip family began to break up.

Then the Duke of tulip was transferred to the front line. After winning the battle, he gave a strange reward... A series of actions, everyone wondered, what is the royal family's praise for the tulip family? Is it a fight? Or... Ready to suppress? Or... Cleaning?

And now, the Regent dies, the little emperor ranks. What is the new emperor's attitude towards the tulip family, the most powerful family in the world?

In other words, how do we stand in line? Is your Majesty the little emperor going to continue to praise Dewey? So naturally, we should follow suit.

If the little emperor means to continue to suppress? So naturally, we should also demote them.

Now, the young emperor does not ask, but only asks Dewey, what is his attitude?

It is reasonable to say that when the new emperor is in charge of the government, it is inevitable to suppress the former powerful officials. To build prestige. As the most popular family in the "former dynasty", they bear the brunt. If they want to fight, they naturally need to fight tulip family first.

But when I think about it, I can't easily judge it like this: everyone knows that Dewey used to be the teacher of the emperor! It is said that the relationship between teachers and students is quite good.

Although the Regent beat duvet a few times. But now the rank of the little emperor, maybe people have deep feelings between teachers and students, and send favors to Du Wei again. It's also very possible.

Camisillo sighed in his heart. With the idea of being wise and protecting himself, the little emperor asked himself directly, so he couldn't answer.

"Well... Your majesty, there's no news from tulip Duke."

Charlie nodded. It seemed to have no expression, but suddenly asked: "I remember, it seems that a division of the royal city guards has been stationed in nurin province?"

Camisillo was sweating on the spot. Thought: is really afraid of what to what. Why did your majesty suddenly ask about it.

At the beginning of the spring drill, the tulip family's army blocked the imperial army from entering the tulip family's territory on the border of the province of DESAR. The military confrontation caused shocked the mainland. Later, after the end of the confrontation, the division of the royal city guards had been stationed in nurin, the neighboring province of Desa. As everyone knows, the army of this division is the supervision of the tulip family!

Camisillo didn't know what Charlie meant, so he had to harden his head and say, "yes, I'm stationed in the garrison west of the capital of nurin province. At the same time, we should help the local people to maintain law and order. "

And then, suddenly, Charlie asked, "camisillo, you are the Secretary of state. Do you think it is necessary to keep an elite division of the royal city guards in nurin province to maintain local public order? "

On hearing this, camisillo almost stares out of his eyes!

He couldn't help scolding in his heart: nonsense! You asked me? I asked who was going?

What does the little emperor mean by this question? How can such questions be asked in public? This kind of thing. It shouldn't be brought out for public discussion at all!

Is

Think of it here. Camisillo looked at Charlie carefully, but was disappointed that there was no hint on Charlie's face. The eyes looked as if they were really asking themselves.

It can't be true? What can I ask about this kind of thing?

Is the little emperor testing his position? If I say that there is no need to keep the army and that it should be withdrawn, then I am a member of the tulip family.

If I say I should keep it, it's anti tulip.

But... Even if you want to test my position, this kind of words should be kept when I meet in private! Where is the reason to say in such a public meeting?!

Camisillo shook his head in his heart. The little emperor, though a little clever, seems to be still very naive politically.

Who is camisilo? He has been in this position for several years, and has been deeply influenced by the late prime minister. He has gradually become an old oily man. How can he easily make his position clear?

After thinking for a moment, he said vaguely, "Your Majesty, the governor of nurin has not made a report on this matter. As for the military headquarters, there is no exception in the audit report of this division during its stay. "

This is not a shirking, and the subtext has been very clear. That means: you decide for yourself.

However, it seems that the Little Emperor didn't listen to the hint of camisillo, but he seemed to be impatient: "camisillo, what do you mean. As secretary of the military, I would like to hear your advice. Do you think it is meaningful to keep this division in nurin province? "

Camisillo was a little annoyed!

what do you mean? Push me?

You're an emperor, you don't talk. How can I make my stand? If you really want to do something, you can give me a hint! How can I talk if you don't fart?!

As a minister, you should be good at guessing the king's thoughts. But you should at least give me some hints!

Does... Camisillo move in his heart: the little emperor doesn't like me? Do you want to change yourself as a military Minister? That's why I'm so forced?

But after looking at his Majesty's face, it seemed that he was just impatient with his excuse, and there was no deep meaning in his eyes.

It's a last resort. With a quick turn in his mind, camisillo could only guess the meaning of the little emperor: he suddenly asked about it for no reason. Did the little emperor want to withdraw the division? Well, that's probably the case. If he wants to keep this division, then he doesn't have to ask this question suddenly.

Well, that's it.

After thinking about it, camisilo coughed. He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I personally mean that there is a war on the Northern Line of the Empire, and the mobile troops of the regular army in our hands are not abundant... If this division can..."

"You mean to bring it back, don't you?" Charlie is impatient. Frowning at camisillo, he suddenly put on a face: "Lord camisillo! As the Minister of military affairs, I hope you can say whatever you have and don't talk to me back and forth. I asked you a question. It took you a long time to understand. Don't you mean to transfer it back? If you can make it clear in one sentence, why waste so many words! "

Camisillo was so angry that he vomited blood in his heart, but he could only bow his head and answer again and again.

In the heart secretly scolds: this little emperor either has the intention to punish me. Or... Is he really looks smart, in fact, the grass bag!! No political sense at all!

Looking at the Minister of the armed services was flattered by his training, Charlie suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart!

This is the feeling of imperial power! This is the momentum of power!! This is the real taste of being an emperor!!

He didn't mean to take care of camisilo. Just pure suddenly thought of such a thing, casually asked. Then involuntarily, he lost his temper. Deep in my heart, I didn't mean to imitate my father's prestige in front of these ministers.

For the little emperor, he knew in his heart that he was young. He was afraid that the ministers would look down on him, so he wanted to take the opportunity to establish power.

Now, among the following people, camisillo has a relatively high status, and naturally became the target of Liwei chosen by the little emperor.

If camisillo knew that. I'm afraid I'm going to vomit blood on the spot.

"Oh. And there's more

Seeing that camisillo was about to return, the little emperor stopped him again: "there is one more thing. Lord camisillo. I don't think that division should be withdrawn. After all... "

Check ideal for a while, but did not come up with anything, just deliberately vague way: "after all, this is my father's decision, I will not make changes."

Camisillo felt that after he went back today, he must have a few cups of herbal tea!

You don't want to change it and ask me what to do! Do you want to amuse me!?

"Minister of etiquette." The little emperor finally let camisillo go: "what else do you have to say about the funeral of the former king?"

The Minister of etiquette quickly said no.

"Well, I've looked at the list of members for the funeral." Charlie frowned and said, "I remember that according to the system, all nobles above the Duke must participate. But the name of the tulip Duke is no longer on it

The tulip Duke again?

The Minister of etiquette was also sweating and said quickly, "Your Majesty, the Duke of tulip is leading the army in the north after all. The war is very serious and the military affairs are very important. I'm afraid he can't get away from it. Therefore, according to the practice of the Empire, a commander who leads troops outside can... "

"No more." Charlie interrupted him, shaking his head, said: "the teacher and father are very close, you immediately send a text, call tulip Duke back to the emperor to attend the funeral."

"Ah..." the Minister of etiquette was stunned for a moment. He went to see camisillo and thought: there is a war now. Transfer the commander of the front line back to attend the funeral. If there is a war in the front line, what can we do without the top commander? It's a matter of the army. You should speak to the Minister of military affairs.

But camisillo was angry in his heart at the moment. He deliberately opened his eyes and closed his mouth.

All the others shut their mouths, and none of them is willing to speak at this moment.

What does the little emperor want to do?

This kind of moment called duvet back... Far away, regardless of the Northern War. Do you want to take the opportunity to strip the Duke of tulip of military power?! Ah! To start with tulip family?!! Everyone's face became suspicious“ Then... Your majesty. " Finally, an old minister of the military headquarters opened his mouth and couldn't help asking: "is it necessary to set up a temporary commander-in-chief in the eastern front to take charge of the overall situation?"“ No Charlie simply shook his head. Camisillo was also puzzled. Did the little emperor really want to do it? After the meeting ended, camisillo thought that if he really wanted to do something, then after the meeting ended, the little emperor should summon himself in private and discuss with himself the candidate to replace Du Wei as the commander in chief of the eastern front! He deliberately dawdled at the end, thinking that the little emperor should leave himself at this moment. But he waited for a long time, but did not wait for the news. Looking back, the little emperor had already left quickly with people from the back of the palace! Camisiro couldn't smile bitterly, and he didn't know whether he was helpless or disappointed, or whether he was angry. Can't help but look up and sigh: am I confused? Or is the little emperor confused? The general process of that day's meeting was then passed to the palace by the attendants, and soon fell into the ears of little princess Karina. After listening, Karina frowned and remained silent for a long time, but sighed“ Your highness, won't you go to see your majesty? " The maid asked in a low voice“ It's gone. " Karina grinned bitterly: "brother... He seems a little over excited. At today's meeting, he used to beat camisilo to build up a power. In fact, this is right. But the topic of borrowing is wrong. We shouldn't mention the matter of being stationed in the northwest division. It's too sensitive. Finally, the teacher was called back to the emperor to attend the funeral. I don't think he means much. But this word fell on the ears of others, and he mentioned the matter of the division today, which inevitably made people have a guess. But... Fortunately, let them be suspicious of the outside suspicion. Alas... After all, my brother has just been in charge of the government. It is inevitable that he is not steady in his work. " Lan Lan suddenly laughed: "but it's OK. Duke tulip, when you go back to the imperial capital, will you see the teacher again Karina did not laugh as usual, but her face was full of worry: "at this time, in fact... I really don't want the teacher to come back."
