GOR Chapter 640 No Illness, No Pain
"First, the palace must not fall into chaos. Although the Imperial Army has been mobilized, I was the one who gave the orders on behalf of mother. Now that you are back, you will need to give the orders again to convince the Imperial Army. "
"Second, send more men to secretly monitor the residences of the nobles in the capital. If there are any abnormal changes in the capital, we must be informed immediately."
"Third, but also the most difficult one." After saying that, Karina's voice became even lower: "No matter how hard we try to hide it from the Shrines, it will be difficult to stop the news from spreading. Thus, we need to release some news to stabilize them. In my opinion, why don't we just spread the news and say that father is indeed sick. That way, they won't be able to guess how serious father's illness is! "
"Fourth, the military forces in the capital will need to be divided into two steps."
Although Karina was still young, she wasn't dissatisfied with her words. Although her face was young, her words were calm and steady. "There are two steps. The first is the Imperial Capital's Public Security Bureau. The Public Security Bureau has ten thousand soldiers. These ten thousand soldiers are also a great force. We must control them well and not let them fall into chaos! The current Commander of the Public Security Department is father's trusted aide. Originally, we can trust him, but … … I feel that we must make more preparations! We cannot place all our hopes on one person. What I mean is, go find Baron Sack. Although Baron Sack is now in the Finance Department, he is still the previous Commander of the Public Security Department. Naturally, he has some prestige in the Public Security Department and some of his old subordinates are willing to obey him! Temporarily transfer him to the Public Security Department and casually arrange a name. Just say that the Finance Department has sent him to calculate this year's Public Security Department's salary. With him in charge, it will be safe! "
After a pause, Karina's eyes flashed: "The second step is the most important! It is the Imperial Palace Guards! There are nearly 60,000 soldiers in the Imperial Capital! Among them, 8,000 are the Imperial Palace Guards, 10,000 are the Public Security Department and the rest are the Imperial Palace Guards! If we cannot firmly control the Imperial Palace Guards … … there is no need for me to tell you the consequences, brother. "I remember that the coup a few years ago was caused by the royal city guards under the control of our eldest uncle. That's why there was such a huge mess! Although his father had purged the Imperial Guards and placed many people in their ranks, they still had to be careful at times like this. There was nothing wrong with being cautious. The best way is to arrange a few loyal ministers to control the situation … "Speaking up to this point, the little princess had a difficult expression on her face." It's a pity that I don't know much about this aspect, and I don't know who can be trusted … Moreover, in terms of the candidates, loyalty isn't enough. They must also have prestige in the army. Otherwise, even if we send them, they won't be able to control the situation if something happens. I've thought about it for a long time, and I do have an idea. "
Charlie couldn't help but be shocked by his young sister's calmness. He subconsciously followed her and asked, "What method?"
"Transfer!" Karina's lips curled into a faint smile. "Yes, transfer! He didn't want the troops to stay in the area he was guarding! Simply put, half of the army at the east gate would be sent to the west gate! Mobilize half of the West City Gate's army to the South City Gate! Mobilize half of the South City Gate's army to the North City Gate! Mobilize half of the North City Gate's army to the East City Gate … … And so on! Make sure that at least half of the troops at each gate are not local! In this way, if someone really did bribe the people in the army, I don't believe they can bribe all the commanders at each gate! Make sure that at least half of the troops at each gate are from outside! This way, even if there is a general who wants to rebel, with only half of his troops left, and the other half being from outside … … This way, they won't be able to make any big waves!! "
Charlie couldn't help but be in a daze. It was at this time that a weak and low voice came from the bed:
"Okay!"
The two children were surprised. Looking at the bed at the same time, they found that the unconscious Regent had woken up at some point.
Prince Son was still lying there weakly with a pale face, but he finally opened his eyes. In his eyes, there was no longer the usual expression of having everything under control. However, under that trace of weakness, there was still the majesty of a monarch!
His lips trembled slightly, as if using a great deal of strength, he slowly said, "Good idea."
Prince Son's eyes fell on the little princess Karina's body with some appreciation in them.
The two children froze for a moment while Karina's face immediately showed surprise. Throwing herself in front of the bed, she cried out: "Father, Father! You're finally awake! "
Charlie also seemed to be startled. Kneeling in front of the bed, his face was full of sorrow: "Father … …"
Prince Son gently sighed and looked at his wife: "Help me … … sit up."
The queen was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to say something, Prince Son's eyes turned cold: "Help me sit up!"
Although he was in a critical condition, his aura as the ruler of all things was still irresistible. Helpless, the queen could only quickly help him up and stuffed a pillow behind him.
Such a small movement, but it was enough to exhaust Prince Son's strength. After sitting up, he gasped for breath for a while before finally calming down. Opening his eyes again, he looked at Karina with doting eyes: "Good child, you are very smart. I am very relieved and pleased."
Although his voice wasn't loud, it still made Karina's heart sour. Tears immediately flowed down her face.
Prince Son reached out his trembling hand and reluctantly wiped away the tears on his daughter's face: "You leave first, I have something to say to your brother."
With that, he glanced at the queen sitting by the bed. The queen immediately understood and pulled the little princess out of the room.
By the bed, there was only the father and son pair left.
The father and son looked at each other. Prince Son's eyes were somewhat complicated. In those eyes, there was warmth, doting, and deep worry!
"I … …" After a long time, the ruler of the empire slowly opened his mouth. His voice was still weak: "I didn't expect myself to fall so soon." Raising his hand, he reluctantly placed it on Charlie's head and gently stroked his hair. His eyes were full of the warmth of a father to his child: "I originally thought I could hold on for a few more days. If I could hold on for a year or so, the north … … the north … … cough cough … … the north will stabilize. At that time, you … … you will be a little, a little older. When you are thirteen or fourteen years old, I will hold a coming of age ceremony for you in advance. At that time … … you will be in charge. "
Charlie's heart trembled and couldn't help but cry out: "Father … … I … …"
"Unfortunately, it seems I can't hold on for much longer." Prince Son shook his head: "There are still a lot of things that I haven't finished yet. If I throw it to you and let you carry it on your little shoulders, my heart … … My heart is a little, a little worried!"
As he spoke, he sighed, his face filled with worry.
Charlie looked up and was about to say something when Prince Son shook his head: "Don't speak, I know what you want to say. You're a smart child, but I'm your father. Of course, I know what you've been thinking all this time. "
Charlie's face couldn't help but turn pale as his heart began to panic.
"Too hasty, too hasty." Prince Son's smile was somewhat bitter: "My biggest regret is that I didn't get the chance to train you personally. Unfortunately, in order to defeat my brother, I had to swallow my anger for ten years! Secretly arranging one after another, I then allowed him to launch a coup d 'état. That's how I took advantage of the situation and rose to the top! Your sister just said a sentence that deeply touched my heart. That is, 'everything must be left behind!' Back then, I relied on one trump card after another to finally defeat my brother. Hehe … … "With that, Prince Son looked at his son with a hint of disappointment in his eyes:" Unfortunately … … You are my son, yet you didn't learn half of my 'patience'. Alas, you are too anxious, too impatient … … "
What followed was a series of painful coughs and gasps.
However, that look of disappointment only lasted for a moment before disappearing. Prince Son tried his best to cheer himself up: "But, I'm not dead yet. There's still some time for me to help you one last time … … Son, come here."
Charlie froze for a moment before moving closer. Prince Son reached out his hand and hugged his son's shoulder. His pale face revealed a somewhat complicated expression: "I … … It's been a long time since I hugged you."
Feeling his father's weak hug, Charlie was still young after all. Finally, tears began to flow out of his eyes.
Prince Son softly whispered in his ear: "I have a few things to tell you. You must remember them and never go against them! As long as you do as I say, you will be able to firmly grasp the throne! Do you understand? "
Looking at Charlie, Prince Son slowly continued: "First, you must remember, the bigger your heart is, the bigger the world is! If your heart is only one city, then you can only control one city at most! If your heart is only one province, then you can only control one province at most! If your heart holds the world, then you can control the world! This is the first rule, remember it well.
Second, the bigger the problem, the calmer you must be! The calmer you are, the bigger the problem you can handle!
The third rule is more detailed. You must remember this person, Alpay! He is the knife I left for you! This person, you can use him, but you must not trust him! Even if you raise him to a higher position in the future, you must leave behind some restrictions to restrict him! You must never truly trust him! Do you understand?
The fourth rule is the one I am most worried about … … Alas, I originally wanted to persevere until I laid a solid foundation for the war in the north. Unfortunately … … But remember one thing, you must not intervene in the war in the north. After all, you are still young. Leave the war to those who understand the military. Rostock, this person, is more than stable, but lacking in ability. Find an opportunity to transfer him back to the capital as a vice minister. In the northern war zone, Du Wei will be the leader and Alpay will be the vice president, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
Fifth, you must take turns using Du Wei and Alpay. If you use one, you must demote the other, and if you step on the other, you must support the other! You must know your limits. Don't let one of them be too strong, and don't let the other be too weak. As for the art of balance, you must think about it carefully. "
Speaking up to here, Prince Son felt a little tired. He sighed: "That's all I can say. If I say too much, it's useless if you can't comprehend it in a short time. As long as you firmly remember this point, there shouldn't be any big problems in the next few years. As for the rest, you will have to rely on yourself when you grow up."
At this moment, Charlie has already wiped away his tears. Bowing his head, he repeated the words several times. But after a moment of hesitation, he looked up and mustered up his courage: "Father … … You told me how to deal with Alpay, then … … Teacher, how should I go … …"
Prince Son understood that the "teacher" his son was referring to was naturally Du Wei.
Thinking for a moment, he bitterly smiled: "This person Du Wei, I've been watching him for a long time, but I can't see through him. But there is one thing I can be sure of, and that is … … He won't go against you. He is a cunning person, but generally speaking, he still values feelings. He may have a little ambition, but it's not big. More importantly, I've already left you a knife, and that is Alpay! With Alpay around, he will be restricted. I have another way to tell you, in the future … … "
Pausing for a moment, Prince Son smiled: "Your aunt, Louise, you don't have to interfere with her marriage. Just listen to Du Wei."
This explanation left Charlie at a loss. He couldn't help but look at his father with a stunned expression.
"Humph, do you really think I don't know about Louise's matters in the Northwest … … But this is also good. Hussain is Du Wei's direct descendant. If Louise can marry him, then his relationship with the royal family will be closer. It's also good for you. As for the matter of face, you don't have to worry too much about it. "
With that, Prince Son firmly stared at Charlie: "Your teacher is a complicated person! You can't force him too much! I ask myself, other than me, no one else is his opponent. But as long as you don't force him, he will sincerely help you! "
"But a few days ago … …" Charlie couldn't help but ask again.
Prince Son couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Looking at his son, he couldn't help but think: What a pity, this child is still lacking some talent. These words, if it was Carina, perhaps I wouldn't have to say it so clearly.
Thinking up to here, he shook his head: "Don't say anymore. Just remember one thing, kiss Du Wei and use Alpay. As for the word 'kiss' and 'use', you should spend some time figuring it out. If you still don't understand, then privately discuss it with your sister. She may be young, but she is still a little smart. Plus, she is your sister, so she is the one you should trust the most. "
After saying that, Prince Son seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Finally, he fell back and sighed: "I'm tired. That's all I have to tell you. Remember it yourself."
Charlie closed his eyes and thought for a while. After a while, he opened his eyes and looked at his father. Suddenly, he said in a deep voice, "Father, in terms of military power, you told my teacher to use Alpay. I remember that. But … what about the civil officials?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Prince Son's eyes revealed a trace of splendor! Looking at his son's eyes, he finally showed some gratification and appreciation. His spirit couldn't help but lift: "Good! I didn't expect you to be able to think of this. Originally, I planned to do it myself and didn't need to tell you … … But, you don't need to worry about this matter. I will take care of it for you before I die! As for the civil officials, humph … … As long as they don't have a leader, then there's no need to worry. These guys are most afraid of them huddling together. As long as they don't have a leader, then they won't be a threat. "
Charlie quickly retreated and saw his sister and mother standing on the side of the hall. Karina glanced at Charlie and said, "Father, I've told you …"
Charlie nodded: "Mhmm, I told you."
Only then did Carina reluctantly smile. Suddenly walking over, she grabbed Charlie's hand and whispered: "Brother, you have to be a good emperor. From now on, you will be the pillar of this family! "
Charlie's heart suddenly surged with a carefree and heroic feeling. Nodding vigorously: "Naturally, I will take care of everything!"
However, he immediately realized that it was inappropriate for him to show such emotions. He quickly turned around and glanced at the bed behind the thick curtains. Seeing that there was no movement on the bed, he felt at ease and his face once again revealed a sorrowful expression.
Until the evening, the queen and princess went back to rest. The mother and daughter pair had been keeping watch here for two days and two nights. Charlie couldn't bear to see his mother and sister so tired, so he ordered them to go back and rest while he stayed behind to keep watch.
In the evening, a red figure flashed into the hall. Without saying a word to Charlie, the figure directly floated in front of Prince Son's bed like a gust of wind.
Wearing a red robe, this was the mysterious chief magician of the palace and also Prince Son's most trusted subordinate!
"Your Highness." Standing beside the bed, this red robed magician called out in a low voice.
On the bed, Prince Son slowly opened his eyes. It took a while for his absent-minded eyes to gradually recover. Blankly looking at the person beside the bed, he finally regained consciousness: "You're here."
"Your Highness." The red robed magician suddenly knelt down and spoke with a voice full of sadness: "It's my incompetence … … Your illness."
"It's my life, it has nothing to do with you." Prince Son slowly shook his head: "You … … found a way?"
The red robed magician was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath: "I tried my best, but I still couldn't find a way to cure you. Now there are only two choices left, I … …"
Smiling, Prince Son's face remained indifferent: "Go ahead. What are the two choices? "
"One is … … I will do my best. Although I can't cure you, I can at least support you until next summer! It's just … … During this period, I'm afraid you can only support me with all your strength, and … … "
Prince Son smiled: "And, you can only lie on the bed like you are now, unconscious for most of the time, and occasionally awake for a moment. Just like a living dead, right?" Glancing at this subordinate, he lightly said: "I'm also a magician, you don't have to worry that I don't understand."
The red robed magician paused again and again before continuing: "The second choice … … I have concocted a strong medicine! Once you take this medicine, it will stimulate your life force and allow you to immediately stand up and return to normal, as if you have been completely healed … However, this medicine can only last for … seven days! "
"Well, after seven days … … I will die." Prince Son seemed to be talking to himself, but the red robed magician didn't say a word.
Finally, Prince Son smiled: "Even if it can prolong my life for half a year, but what's the use of being a living dead in bed … … Hmm, seven days, seven days is enough for me to do some things. Very well, seven days it is! "
His voice became weaker and weaker as if he couldn't catch his breath.
Panting for a moment: "I still have one more thing for you to do! This matter must not be known to others, and you must do it personally. Personally help me pass a message to a person! This sentence will rot in your stomach from now on, understand? "
The red robed magician quickly raised his head and made an oath. Then, he cast a spell to make a magic oath.
"Very well … … Go to the old prime minister's house … …"
— — —
Night, in the old prime minister's mansion in the imperial capital.
The old prime minister of the empire, Prime Minister Robescher, is currently in his bedroom. This old man is already in his seventies. Although his health has been deteriorating recently, and everyone knows that he will die of old age at any time, he still lives on. After gradually relieving himself of his heavy responsibilities, he recuperated at home for a period of time. Little by little, his old body became stronger and stronger.
At night, this old man was holding a silk cloth and slowly wiping a precious wooden lacquer carving. Suddenly, in the corner of the room, a red figure slowly emerged from the shadows!
The sudden appearance of another person in the room didn't make the old man panic. Instead, his hand holding the silk cloth paused for a moment before he continued to wipe it.
His movements were still as gentle as ever.
"Prime Minister." The red robed figure in the corner softly spoke.
The old man faintly smiled: "I am no longer the prime minister, so you don't have to be so polite."
After a pause, he calmly put down the thing in his hand: "You came so late, there must be something important."
"The Royal Regent sent me here to say a few words to you."
The old man closed his eyes and faintly smiled: "Speak."
The red robed magician's voice was still as stiff as ever … …
"You have served two dynasties, and your prestige is widespread. Is that not enough? Today, I wish to leave, will you follow me? "
When the old man heard this, his eyebrows seemed to twitch. However, he opened his eyes and a relaxed smile appeared on his face. His muddy old eyes looked at the figure in the corner and he softly said, "I am willing to go with Your Highness."
The red robed magician nodded and didn't say anything else. After a moment, his figure had already disappeared from the room.
After the person left, the old prime minister stood up. His face was solemn and respectful as he straightened his clothes, pinched the buttons, and combed his hair.
The old man's face was calm, and his eyes were even more peaceful.
Then, he slowly walked to the front of the cabinet and took out a bottle from the drawer. He muttered to himself, "Your Highness is indeed wise. Hmph, civil officials, without a leader, can't unite. They are no threat to the young emperor. Very good, Your Highness is very smart … … "
As he spoke, the old man poured out a pill from the bottle and put it in his mouth, then calmly put the bottle away. Then, he slowly walked to the chair in the middle of the room and sat down, assuming the most comfortable position he usually had. He closed his eyes as if he was closing them to rest … …
Then, he fell into a deep sleep.
— — —
The next day, news from the Imperial Capital:
In his life of officialdom, he had countless disciples, but the most prestigious old prime minister, Sir Robescher, had finally passed away from illness.
The old man passed away peacefully, and it was said that he passed away in his sleep without any illness or pain.
When the family was collecting the body, they saw that the old man still had a calm smile on his face.
That smile … … was very deep, very serene, very calm, and very satisfied.
When the news reached the palace, the little princess, Karina, who had just woken up after a night's sleep, couldn't help but stare blankly in her room.
Beside her, the maid Lanlan was combing Karina's hair when the little princess muttered to herself: "The old man is indeed smart … … His departure has instead protected the family's wealth."
