GOR Chapter 539 Red
Du Wei made a conjecture.
However, this conjecture was in fact a very serious one. As an Emperor, if he were to be heartless, no matter how smart he may be, it would not be a good thing. Additionally, if a child who had just passed the age of 10 was already so heartless by nature, what would he become when he grows up?
Gabriel was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you worrying too early? This little Emperor is only 10 years old while the Regent is not even 30 years old. It will take at least several decades for Emperor Charlie to take over the throne. The way I see it, the Regent's trust in you will not fall so easily. "
"That is the most important thing that I am worried about." This time, Du-Wei couldn't even smile: "If it's just that the little Emperor is not a kind child, then it doesn't matter. I won't worry about things that will happen decades later … … But the problem is, I've been neglecting a problem!!"
Du Wei waved his hand and said, "You are right. Emperor Charlie is only 10 years old while the Regent is only 30 years old! However … … for Charlie to take over the throne so early, it may be because there is no other choice. However, after a few years, when Emperor Charlie comes of age, will the Regent continue to take over the throne and let the adult Emperor continue to be a puppet? Even if this child is willing now, when he comes of age, will he be willing? In the face of imperial power, there is no such thing as familial love! Under normal circumstances, the Regent should be able to live for several decades without illness or disaster! Let's not talk about that. If he can live to 70 years old … … does that mean Emperor Charlie will have to wait until he is 50 years old before taking over the throne? Is that even possible? "
Du Wei speculated that there would not be any conflicts within the next four to five years. However, what about after a few years? When the child grows up, would he be willing to continue being a puppet?
Do not forget, the coup of the First Prince Yawen was a good example.
Besides, when the First Prince's coup took place, he was only a prince. As for Charlie, he was already the legitimate Emperor of the Empire. At that time, if he wanted to fight for the throne, it would be perfectly justifiable.
Furthermore, after witnessing the miracle in the plaza, everyone in the Empire had already determined that this Emperor Charlie was the 'Heavenly Sovereign'!
When this' Heavenly Royal 'came of age and asked for power, even if the Regent was his father, would you be willing to fight for power with the Heavenly Royal? In at most seven or eight years, this hidden danger would surface!
However, with the Regent's intelligence, how could he not think of this hidden danger in the future?
Du Wei had always ignored this question, or rather, he seemed to have deliberately not thought about it. However, with the announcement of the old Emperor's death and the ascension of the new Emperor, this question surfaced in his heart uncontrollably!
Recently, the Regent seemed to have been intentionally or unintentionally taking away power from his hands …
— — —
Imperial City.
In a certain study room in the magnificent palace, there weren't too many luxurious decorations. Although the Prince Regent was in charge of the country at a very young age, although he was also known for his extravagance and dissoluteness when he was a prince.
However, after the Prince Regent came to power, he seemed to have washed away all his previous dissolute and luxurious temperament!
Although as the actual ruler of the Empire, in the three years he was in power, although his life was not simple, it formed a sharp contrast with the extravagant Augustine the Sixth!
When he was a prince, he would often go in and out of the brothel outside the city with other people. He also kept some beautiful concubines in his residence. He would sit in a luxurious carriage that was so luxurious that it made people stupefied as they traveled through the city … He was young and flamboyant, and was proud of his success.
But after he entered the palace, he dispelled all his favorite concubines and held the power of the empire for three years, but he still kept a legitimate queen. It was only later that he publicly married Miss Daley as his concubine in order to support Alpay. As for other aspects, the ruler of the Empire, let alone spoiling his concubines, he didn't even have a lover outside!
His food, clothing, and accommodation were the most simple among all the Emperors in the past two hundred years. He gave up as much extravagance as possible, gave up a lot of luxurious clothes and food, and even locked up the luxurious carriage he used when he was a prince.
In the past few years, the Empire's finances were tight. As the Prince Regent, he took the initiative to advocate frugality. Although such a move has elements of show in it, but to be able to do so, he should be regarded as a good ruler.
Prince Son even abandoned most of his spare time for fun. During his time as a prince, Prince Son was famous for being a romantic prince. He loved music, art, and even watching operas. He also knew how to ride horses, hunt, and draw. He could be said to be multi-talented. But in the three years of power, he didn't go out to hunt, listen to operas, or play with music … …
Augustine had left behind a mess that was riddled with holes, so he had no choice but to devote all his energy to fixing the countless holes in this mess. Even if he suddenly received the terrible news of the sinner invasion, he still endured it and painstakingly ran the Empire for three years!
Only the personal attendants in the palace know that the Prince Regent only slept for three hours a day for the past two years. Most of the time, he was dealing with the Empire's political affairs, military affairs, and financial affairs.
The current finance minister once publicly praised the young Prince Regent as the most outstanding monarch in recent generations. Although these words were somewhat flattering, most people also agreed in their hearts.
As the ruler of the Empire, his son, Charlie, even if he wanted a good horse as a pet a year ago, he still had to coax and pester for a long time before he could get his wish. To be so frugal, even if it's just for show, it's really rare.
In the study, the Regent leaned back in his chair and dozed off for a while. Then, he rubbed his eyebrows hard and took a deep breath. He stood up and walked to the window. He opened the window and let the night wind blow in. Only then did he feel a little better.
Stretching his body, Prince Son turned back to the table and reread the military report on the table. Then he lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
He felt a little weak and tired in his body.
Then with a wry smile, Prince Son hesitated for a moment before pulling out a flat iron box from his chest. Opening the lid, he saw a layer of ointment inside. His eyes became dignified as if he was hesitating. But a sudden burst of violent coughing made him make up his mind. Using his pinky nail, he carefully picked up a little bit and put it into his mouth. Then he picked up the cup in front of him and drank it together with the hot tea.
The ointment inside the iron box exuded a strange aroma … … If Du Wei was standing here, he would immediately be surprised to recognize this aroma. It's the Ice Berry!
"Your Highness."
Outside the door, a servant knocked on the door and whispered: "The vice minister of military affairs has arrived."
"Let him in."
When Kami Siro walked into the room, his head was down and his hands were hanging by his side. His appearance was very respectful. He didn't even dare to look directly at the Prince Regent.
"How is Du Wei doing in the Military Academy?"
Without a word of courtesy, Prince Son directly asked his question.
"Not bad." Kami Siro's voice was flat, but his answer was clear and unmistakable: "The Duke of the Tulip Family seems to be in a good mood. He seems to be very busy leading the cadets in the Military Academy."
Prince Son nodded. As if thinking for a moment, he then smiled: "Du Wei is a smart person."
Then, his smile became gentler. "It seems that he understands my intentions. I know that he will make the right choice. But … … In any case, having your power taken away is not a pleasant thing. As for the Military Academy, you should try to satisfy his needs as much as possible. I heard he has already transferred over a thousand soldiers from the Public Security Department. It seems he is having a lot of fun. "
"Your Highness, the Duke of the Tulip Family has made a new request. He wants me to transfer him 500 … … Royal City Guards! He said the quality of the soldiers in the Public Security Department is not enough. He needs more elite soldiers to hone and cooperate with the command of the officers. "
"Give it to him." The Regent nodded without hesitation: "Take a battalion from the Imperial Capital's Garrison Division and give it to him. In addition, double the pay."
Kami Siro hesitated for a moment before looking up and mustering the courage to smile: "Your Highness, I think … … The Duke of the Tulip Family's constant requests are a good thing."
"Haha … …" Prince Son smiled. Looking at this trusted subordinate of his, he lightly said: "You are also very smart. It seems you have learned a lot from the old Prime Minister."
After a pause, he rubbed his eyes. Although the soreness made him frown, the smile on his face did not fade: "Du Wei is throwing a tantrum with me. The more he acts like this, the more it shows that he is still loyal to me. If he doesn't make any requests and just sulks by himself, then that would mean he is not loyal to me. Now, he is just using these little things to express his dissatisfaction with me for taking away his power. That's normal. On the contrary, this is a good sign for me. "
"I know that Your Highness trusts the Duke of the Tulip Family." Kami Siro smiled bitterly: "However, the Duke has been too harsh on those officers. In the past few months, those guys have suffered a lot and several of them were injured. Although there are doctors and priests on standby, the Duke himself also has extraordinary skills. But those guys, some of them come from big families. Some of them can't bear the hardship and quietly asked their family members to come to me and ask to transfer them out of the Military Academy. "
"Humph, trash." Prince Son raised an eyebrow: "Tell them that if they want to leave, they can. But once they leave the Military Academy, they can only wait for a lifetime of idleness! The Imperial Army will not raise these trash. If they can't even bear the hardships in the Military Academy, how can they lead the Imperial Army to war in the future? Tell them that if they want to leave, then don't keep them! After the military files, all of them can go back home and farm! "
Kami Siro sighed in his heart, but his mouth quickly nodded respectfully: "Yes!"
Leaning back, Prince Son suddenly frowned. His face seemed to have changed a bit. Waving his hand, he took a deep breath and said: "You can go back."
Not daring to say another word, Kami Siro quickly bowed and left the room.
After Kami Siro left the room and closed the door, Prince Son's suppressed coughing violently broke out.
After coughing for a while, he finally pulled out a silk handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth. His cheeks were dyed with a layer of sickly red. He casually picked up the cup on the table and was about to take a sip of the hot tea to warm his cold chest, but the cup was already dry.
Prince Son immediately pulled the zipper on the side of his body. After a series of bells, an attendant immediately came in and bowed in front of him.
Prince Son didn't speak and just pointed to the cup in front of him.
The attendant hurriedly bent down and walked to the front. Just as he was about to take the cup away, he suddenly swept his gaze across the table in a very natural manner!
On the table was the silk handkerchief that Prince Son casually used to cover his mouth. The attendant's eyes suddenly shook as he stared at the silk handkerchief.
Prince Son frowned and immediately noticed the abnormal state of the attendant. He also realized where the other party's eyes fell!
A cold light flashed in his eyes. He snorted softly and said coldly, "What did you see?"
The attendant suddenly trembled and dropped the cup in his hand. Falling to the ground, the attendant trembled and said: "Your Highness, I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything! "
Prince Son was silent for a moment. Looking at the attendant, he suddenly sighed and softly said: "It's not your fault, it's my own carelessness. I'm too tired today and lost my head for a moment. That's why I let you in and accidentally let you see …. It's my fault, I'm sorry."
The attendant's body suddenly turned cold as his body shivered in the cold wind!
"Mage." Prince Son sighed. Following his call, a person appeared out of thin air from the corner of the room. It was a court mage wearing a red mage robe.
"Take him out … … Bury him." Prince Son didn't even look at the begging attendant and only sighed: "It's my carelessness that cost him his life. Next time I make a mistake, remind me to be more careful. I don't want to kill people because of this mistake. "
The Royal Mage nodded coldly. He walked up to the servant and tapped him on the head. The servant immediately fainted. Then, the Royal Mage pulled the servant away. The servant followed the Royal Mage out of the room like a zombie.
The room fell into silence as Prince Son's eyes fell on the silk handkerchief on the table.
On top of the pure white silk handkerchief, there was a touch of bright red in the middle!
