Du Wei just made a guess.
But this guess is actually very serious! As a monarch, if he is not benevolent or kind, no matter how smart he is, I am afraid it will not be a good thing! What's more, if a child who is just over ten years old has a cold nature, what will he look like when he grows up
Gabriel was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Brother, are you a little worried that it's too early? The little emperor is only ten years old, and the regent is only in his thirties. When Emperor Charles takes power, how long will it take?" Ten years later! I think the regent is in power, and the trust in you will not be easily reduced."
"This is the most important thing I worry about." Du Wei couldn't even laugh this time: "If it's just that the little emperor is not a kind child, then it doesn't matter. Things will happen decades later. I won't worry about it now... But the problem is, a problem that I have been ignoring before
Du Wei waved his hand: "You are quite right. Emperor Charles is only in his early ten years old, and the regent is only 30 years old! But... Maybe it is because of helplessness that Charles is allowed to succeed so early. However, after a few years After Emperor Charles became an adult, the regent would continue to control the power and let the adult emperor continue to be a puppet? Even if this child is willing now, will he be willing when he becomes an adult? Facing the imperial power, there is no family affection to speak of! Under normal circumstances, the regent is free from disease and disaster, and has decades to live! Not to mention, if he lives to be seventy years old... Is it possible to let Emperor Charles wait until fifty years old to take power?? Is it possible?"
According to Du Wei's judgment, within four to five years, there will be no contradictions in the struggle for imperial power. But what about a few years later? When the child grows up, is he still willing to continue to be a puppet
Don't forget, the coup d'état of the eldest prince Yawen is a lesson learned from the past. "When Wei Gong 4 Li Shou was mutagenized, he was just a prince!" And Charlie is already the legal emperor of the empire! At that time, if he wanted to fight for power, it would be even more legitimate!
What's more, after the miracle in the square, everyone in the empire has now recognized that Emperor Charles is the "God-given Emperor"!
When this "Heaven-given Emperor" becomes an adult and wants to take power, even if the Regent is his father, do you have the nerve to fight for power with the God-given Emperor? ? In seven or eight years at most, this hidden danger will surface!
But. With such a smart person as the regent, how could he not have thought of this big hidden danger in the future
Du Wei had always ignored this question before, or in other words, he seemed to deliberately not think about it. But with the announcement of the death of the old emperor, the new emperor succeeded. This question came out of his heart uncontrollably!
And I got in touch with the fact that the regent seems to have been taking power from himself intentionally or unintentionally recently...
imperial city.
In the magnificent palace with golden walls, there is not much luxurious decoration here in a certain study room. Although the regent took charge of the power of the country at a very young age, even though he was also famous for his luxury and flair when he was a prince.
However, after the Regent took power. But he seemed to have completely washed away his youthful, romantic and luxurious temper!
Although as the actual ruler of the empire, in the three years he has been in power so far, although his life is not simple, it is in stark contrast to Augustine VI, who is so successful!
When he was the prince, he would often go in and out of the Ecstasy Cave outside the city with others, and there were some beautiful concubines in the mansion, who rode through the city in a jaw-droppingly luxurious carriage... Young Zhang Yang, the emperor Nobility. The spring breeze is proud.
But after entering the palace, he drove away all those beloved concubines. Three years in power of the empire. However, he still only maintained a genuine queen, only to support Alpay later. Only then did he openly marry that Miss Delly as the princess. As for other aspects, the ruler of the empire, let alone a concubine, doesn't even have a lover outside!
His food, clothing and housing are the simplest among all the emperors for two hundred years. He gave up as much ostentation as possible, and gave up a lot of Chinese clothes and delicacies. Even the luxurious carriage that the nobles looked at when he was the prince was locked in the warehouse by him.
The empire's finances were tight in the past few years, and he took the initiative to promote frugality as the regent. Although there was an element of show in this kind of behavior, he should be regarded as a good monarch if he could do this.
He even abandoned most of his spare time. When he was the prince, Prince Chen was a famous romantic prince. He loved music, art, and even opera. He could hunt on horseback and paint. He was versatile. But in the three years since he was in power, he hasn't gone hunting again, he hasn't listened to opera, he hasn't played with rhythm...
What Augustine left behind was a mess full of holes, so he had to devote all his energy to repairing the countless holes in this mess. Even if he suddenly received such appalling bad news as the invasion of criminals, he endured it, strategized, and painstakingly managed the empire for three years!
Only the personal attendants in the palace knew that the regent had only slept for three hours a day for the past two years, and spent most of his time dealing with the empire's government affairs, military affairs, and financial affairs.
The current Chancellor of the Exchequer once publicly praised the young regent as the most outstanding monarch in recent generations of the empire. Although there are elements of flattery in this statement, most people agree in their hearts.
As the ruler of the empire, even if his son Charlie wanted a good horse as a pet a year ago, he would have to wait a long time to get it. It is so frugal for this sake, even if it is a show, it is really rare.
In the study, the regent leaned on the chair, took a nap for a while, then rubbed his brows vigorously, took a deep breath, stood up and walked to the window, opened the window, let the night wind blow in, and then a little Soothes a bit of soreness and fatigue.
Stretching his body vigorously, Prince Chen turned back to the table, read the military newspaper on the table again, and bowed his head in thought for a while.
He felt weak and tired.
Then Prince Chen smiled wryly. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a flat iron box from his arms and opened it. Inside was a layer of moist ointment. His eyes became serious, as if hesitating, but a sudden violent cough made him make up his mind. With the nail of his little finger, he carefully picked out a small amount, put it into his mouth, held it He picked up the cup in front of him, mixed it with hot tea and took it.
The ointment in the iron box exudes a strange fragrance... If Du Wei stood here, he would immediately recognize it in surprise. this aroma. Impressively it is - ice berries!
"Your Highness."
A solemn attendant knocked on the door and came in, saying in a low voice, "The Deputy Minister of Military Affairs has arrived."
"Please come in."
Camisiro bowed his head and lowered his hands when he entered the room. The appearance is very respectful and solemn. He didn't even dare to look at the Prince Regent. Quickly bow and salute.
"How is Du Wei in the military academy?"
Without a word of politeness, Prince Chen directly asked his own question.
"Not bad." Camisiro's voice was flat. However, he answered clearly and unmistakably: "Lord Tulip Duke seems to be in a good mood. It seems that he is busy and fulfilled in leading those student officers in the military academy."
Prince Chen nodded, he seemed to think for a while, and then smiled: "Du Wei is a smart man."
Then his smile became gentler: "It seems that he understands my intention. I know he will make the right choice. But... no matter what. It is not always a pleasant thing to be confiscated. Military Academy On the one hand. Whatever he needs, you should try to satisfy him. I heard that he has transferred more than a thousand soldiers from the public security station. It seems that he is having a lot of trouble."
"Your Highness, the Duke of Tulip has made a new request. He wants me to transfer him five hundred... Royal City Guards! He said that the soldiers in the security station are not qualified enough and need more elite soldiers. To hone and cooperate with the command of the officers."
"Give it to him." The regent nodded without hesitation: "A battalion will be drawn from the garrison division of the imperial capital for him to use, and the military salary will be doubled."
Camisiro hesitated for a moment, then raised his head. Gathering up his courage, he smiled and said, "Your Highness, I think...it's a good thing that Duke Tulip keeps making requests."
"Hehe..." Prince Chen smiled. Looking at this confidant, he said lightly: "You are also very smart, it seems that you have learned a lot from the old prime minister."
paused. He rubbed his eye sockets, although the soreness made him frown, but the smile on his face did not fade: "Du Wei is playing with me and throwing a temper tantrum.
The more he is like this, it shows that he is still loyal to me. If he doesn't ask for anything, and just sulks and gets angry by himself, then he has renounced me. Now, it's normal to use these little things to express my dissatisfaction with taking his power. It's a good sign for me. "
"Your Highness trusts the Duke of Tulip. I know it." Camisiro said with a wry smile: "However, the Duke has fucked those officers too hard. In the past few months, those guys have suffered a lot. Several people were injured. Although there are doctors and priests on standby, the Duke himself has extraordinary abilities. However, those guys, some of them are from the rich family, have been unable to bear the hardships, and quietly entrusted the people in the family Come to me and ask to be transferred from the Military Academy."
"Hmph, waste." Prince Chen raised his eyebrows: "Tell them, if they want to leave, they can leave, but after leaving the military academy, they will wait for a lifetime of idleness! The imperial army does not raise these wastes. You can’t bear the hardships, how will you lead the imperial army to fight in the future? You tell them, if you want to leave, you won’t stay! After the military records, all of them go home and farm!”
Camisiro sighed in his heart, but quickly nodded respectfully in his mouth: "Yes!"
Prince Chen leaned back, and suddenly frowned, his face seemed to change, he waved his hand, and took a deep breath: "Go back."
Camisiro didn't dare to say a word, so he quickly saluted and retreated.
When Camisiro walked out of the room and closed the door, Prince Chen coughed suppressedly just now and broke out violently.
He coughed vigorously for a while, and finally pulled out a silk handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth, his cheeks were stained with a sickly blush. He casually picked up the cup on the table, and was about to take a sip of hot tea to warm his cold chest, but the cup was already dry.
Prince Chen immediately pulled a zipper on his side, and after a ringing bell, an attendant walked in and bowed in front of him.
Prince Chen didn't speak, and pointed to the cup in front of him.
The attendant hurriedly bent over and walked to the front, and was about to hold down the cup to change it, but suddenly the corner of his eye swept across the table naturally!
On the table was the silk handkerchief that Prince Chen had casually covered the corners of his mouth when he coughed just now. The attendant's eyes suddenly trembled, staring at the silk handkerchief, it seemed that there was something strange in an instant.
As soon as Prince Chen frowned, he immediately noticed the abnormal state of the waiter, and suddenly realized, where did the other party's eyes fall!
A cold light flashed in his eyes, he hummed softly, and said coldly, "What did you see?"
The waiter suddenly trembled, and with a bang, the cup in his hand also fell to the ground. He threw himself on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!"
Prince Chen was silent for a while, looked at the waiter twice, suddenly sighed softly, and said softly: "I don't blame you, I was careless, I was too tired today, and I was dizzy just now, so I let you wait." When you came in, I accidentally let you see it... It's my fault, I'm sorry."
The waiter's whole body was suddenly cold, and his body was trembling as if shaking in the cold wind!
"Mage." Prince Chen sighed, and following his call, a person walked out of the air in the corner, a court magician with a red mage robe all over his body.
"Take it out...buy it." Prince Chen didn't even look at the begging waiter in front of him, but just sighed: "It was my carelessness that killed his life. Next time I make a mistake, remind me Me, let me be careful, I don't want to kill again for this kind of mistake."
The court mage nodded indifferently, then walked up to the waiter, tapped him lightly on the head, and the man passed out, and then the mage pulled the waiter, and the man followed the waiter like a zombie. The court mage went out.
The room fell into silence, but Prince Chen's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief on the table.
On top of the snow-white silk handkerchief, in the middle, there is a touch of bright red!
