Chapter 648 [New Royal Government]

A black curtain of condolences has been placed around the palace.

Large in a palace, Charlie, the empire's little emperor, dressed in a black robe that had been driven out, he sat in the upper-middle position, looking down at the princes sitting beside him. These include the Minister of Military Affairs, Camisillo, the Imperial Minister of Finance, the President of the Palace Guard, and the Commander of the Royal City Close Guard.

Looking at the members of the core circle of power of the Empire, Little Charlie, while his face remained calm, his flashing eyes had betrayed his mood at this moment.

I am the Emperor!

I am the Emperor!

Now I am the Emperor!!

No longer a puppet, no longer a child sitting around watching his father give orders!!

These people below, who are directly loyal to them, have become themselves!!

In this mood, Charlie had some distractions.

A general of the Kingsguard was standing down there reporting something loudly, but Charlie didn't seem to hear a word. Only after he finished, Charlie returned to God and looked at the general who was waiting for his orders. Charlie calmed down and waved, faintly: “I see. ”

Unconsciously, his tone of action and pie seemed deliberately to imitate the habit of the original Regent Prince Chen.

The general of the Royal City Near Guard reported on the current troop movements around Emperor Du, indicating that the army was normal and that the military mind was strong, and that no one had taken the opportunity to make mischief. Reporting on previous troop movements at the gates, please indicate to Charlie whether the army can be redeployed back. After all, the previous approach was only a temporary emergency, and now everything seems calm and unnecessary to disrupt the formation of the army.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor did not speak, but simply said "I know”, the general dared not ask too many questions, and could only turn back blindly.

Fortunately, Minister of Military Affairs Camisillo gave him a timely look to reassure him.

Today's meeting is not the first official presidency of Little Emperor Charlie.

After the death of the Regent three days ago, this was the third day in a row.

For these heavy-handed princes, during these three days of meetings, they performed almost the same ceremonies of power change as Ben Shenko did: first to express condolences, then to show loyalty to the pro-government little emperor, and finally to report one thing to the little emperor for ruling.

There's nothing wrong with that. And the pro-government little emperor doesn't seem to be doing anything wrong - except seemingly constantly distracted.

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

Under this deliberate gesture of loyalty, a distrust is hidden in everyone's heart.

Look at that half-aged teenager sitting up there —— can he really lift an empire this big?

Despite these three days of meetings, the little emperor showed great interest and interest in government and appeared to be “diligent". And, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, the little emperor's tone of speech, gestures and attitudes seemed to be deliberately imitating the late Regent.

This practice… very…

Very unwieldy.

Because no matter how he imitates it, he can't really lift the weight as lightly as the Regent, and manipulate everything in the heart of the capital.

Even, looking at such a child, with a tender voice, but with a tone of mouth imitating the slow swallowing speech of the Regent, instead, a faint anxiety arises in everyone's hearts for no reason...

The Minister of etiquette reported on the preparatory process for the funeral.

The Minister of Finance then reported on the budget costs of the funeral. The old man hesitated for a moment and submitted another report on the allocation of military expenditures for the next quarter. The Secretary of State for Military Affairs, Camisillo, also stood up and expressed the hope that the contents of the report would be judged by His Majesty as soon as possible.

This was followed by presentations by several officials on the state of siege in Didu, indicating whether to continue city gate control.

There is also a eulogy handwritten by the Pope from the Light Temple of the Continent.

Greetings from the Magician's Chairman.

Loyalty from Knights Association.

This was followed by the information sent by Secretary of State for Military Affairs Camisillo on the military forces in the northern theatre of operations - everything seems to be well for now. Previous orders had been communicated, and the troops on the front had strictly implemented them, without any unauthorized movement.

There are also provinces closer to emperors, mourning sent by governors everywhere, etc...

Things big and small, Charlie listens and notes.

Too bad he started wandering again in a moment.

Camisillo obviously noticed the little emperor's distraction, but he didn't break it. After reading out a military paper from the front line, he looked up at the little emperor and said, “Your Majesty, do you mean? ”

“Oh…” Charlie's eyes fainted, looking down at Camisillo, the little emperor did not answer, but suddenly asked: "Front line… any news from the Duke of Tulip? ”

Without asking, the little emperor suddenly asked about Duke Dewey of Tulip, and everyone's expression had to be a little strange.

Everyone unconsciously generates speculation...

What does His Majesty the Emperor mean?

Earlier, the Duke of Tulip seemed to have been subjected to some repression, and during that military confrontation in the northwest, the military and the Tulip family had fought a sigh of water, and it was clear that the relationship between the royal family and the Tulip family had begun to break down.

Then the Duke of Tulips was transferred to the front line and fought an odd reward after the victory... a series of moves, everyone is guessing, is the royal family dedicated to Tulips? Is it a fight, or... are you ready to suppress? Or... wash?

And now, the death of the Regent, the rank of little emperor, what is the attitude of this new emperor towards the Tulip family, the most powerful family in the world?

In other words, how do we stand up? Your Majesty the Little Emperor is ready to continue with Dewey? Then naturally, you have to follow suit.

What if the Little Emperor means to keep fighting? So naturally, you have to follow suit.

Now, Your Majesty, what is the attitude of asking only Dewey?

According to theory, the new Royal Government will inevitably suppress the former noble minister of power in order to establish prestige. And as the reddest family in the "Front Dynasty", the first hit, if you want to fight, is naturally to hit the first bird of the Tulip family.

But when you think about it again, it seems as if you can't easily tell: Everyone knows that Dewey was once a teacher of His Majesty the Emperor! The relationship between teachers and students is said to be quite good.

Though the Regent suppressed Dewey a few times. But now the rank of the Little Emperor, perhaps his teachers and students are deeply affectionate, and it is also very possible to send a new petition to Dewey.

Camisillo sighed in his heart. In Ming Zhe's conservative mind, he preferred His Majesty the Little Emperor but asked himself straight away, so he could not answer either.

“Well... Your Majesty, the Duke of Tulip has no news. ”

Charlie nodded, seemed to have no expression, and then suddenly asked: “I remember, as if there was a division of the Royal Near Guard stationed in Nurin province? ”

Camisillo sweated instantly and thought, "What are you really afraid of?" His Majesty suddenly asked about it.

The military confrontation sparked the continent when the army of the Tulip family blocked the Imperial Army from entering the Tulip family's territory on the border of Dessardine province during the spring performance. Later, after the confrontation ended, the division of the Royal City Near Guard was stationed in the neighbouring province of Nurin in Desa Rural Province - a division whose army, as everyone knows, is the oversight of the Tulip family!

Camisillo, not knowing what Charlie meant, could harden his scalp: "Yes, he is stationed in a military barracks west of the capital of Nurin province, while assisting in local policing…”

And then Charlie suddenly asked, “Camisillo, you're the Secretary of State for Military Affairs. Do you think it is necessary to retain an elite division of the Royal City Guard to maintain local law and order in Nurin province? ”

As soon as I hear that, Camisillo's gonna stare out his eyes!

In his heart he could not bear to curse: bullshit! You asked me? Who am I asking?

What does His Majesty the Little Emperor mean to ask such a question? Can such a question not be asked in public? This kind of thing shouldn't have been discussed openly at all!

Is it...

Camisillo looked closely at Charlie and was disappointed - there was no hint on Charlie's face, which looked as if he was really asking himself.

What's the point of this kind of thing?

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

If I say we should keep it, it's the anti-tulip faction.

But... even if you want to test my position, you can ask me back when we meet privately! Where is the point in such an open meeting?!

Camisillo shook his head in the dark, and the little emperor, although a little smart, seemed politically naive.

Who's Camisillo? He has been in this position for several years and has been deeply indulged by the late old prime minister, has gradually become an old oil-like character, will he easily brighten his position?

On reflection, he blurred: "Your Majesty, the Governor of Nurin province did not report on the matter. On the military side, there were no anomalies in the audit reports for the duration of the division's presence. ”

This is not an exorcism, and the submarine lines have been made quite clear. That means: make your own decision.

But, as if the little emperor hadn't heeded Camisillo's suggestion, he seemed impatient: "Camisillo, I'm asking you what you mean. As Minister of Military Affairs, I would like to hear your suggestion. Do you think it makes sense to keep this division in Nurin province? ”

Camisillo's a little pissed off!

What do you mean, force me?

As Emperor of the Empire, how can I make a statement if you don't speak? This division is going to stay, if you really want to do something, give me a hint! You don't give a shit, how can I talk?!

As a benefactor, be good at mocking the king's thoughts, but at least give me a hint from your old man!

Did... Camisillo's heart move: This little emperor doesn't like me? After pro-government, you want to change yourself, Secretary of State? Is that why you're so hard on each other?

But when I looked at the face of His Majesty again, I just seemed impatient with my own pretext, and I couldn't see any meaning in my eyes.

I had to turn my head quickly and Camisillo could only guess what the little emperor meant: when he suddenly asked about it for no reason, did the little emperor want to withdraw the division? Well, that's probably it, and if he's going to keep the division, then he doesn't have to ask that question all of a sudden.

Well, that's it.

After thinking about it, Camisillo coughed carefully: “Your Majesty, what I personally mean is that there is now a war on the northern front of the Empire, and the mobile units of the regular army in our hands are not very abundant... if this division could...”

“You mean back, right?” Charlie was impatient, frowned at Camisillo, and suddenly he was on his face: “Lord Camisillo! As Secretary of State, I want you to say whatever you want, and don't come back and forth with me. I asked you a question, and you got all twisted up, and you said half a day to make it clear. Don't you mean to bring it back? One word is clear, why waste so many tongues! ”

Camisillo spit blood in his heart, but he could only bow his head and answer.

The little emperor whispered in his heart: "Either this little emperor has the heart to fix me." Or... is he really looking smart, actually grass bag!! No political mind at all!

Watching the Secretary of State get his eyebrows down, Charlie suddenly has something to be proud of!

This is the feeling of imperial power! This is what power holds!! This is what it's like to be an emperor!!

He didn't mean the whole Camisillo thing. I just suddenly remembered this thing, and I asked, and I couldn't help but have a little temper. Deep down, hidden, without trying to imitate much of the power his father had had in front of these ministers.

For the little emperor, he knew in his heart that he was young, afraid that the ministers would look down on him, and he wanted to take the opportunity to stand up.

And now, among these people, Camisillo is a relatively high status, and naturally became the subject of the Little Emperor's choice of Levitra.

If Camisillo knew that thought, he was afraid he would really throw up blood on the spot.

“Oh, and. ”

Camisillo was about to return, and the little emperor called him again: "There is one more thing. Lord Camisillo, I don't think that division should be withdrawn. After all..."

Charlie thought about it, but didn't think of anything, just deliberately obscured: “After all, it's Father's decision, I won't change it for now. ”

Camisillo thinks he must drink a few cups of refreshing tea when he returns today!

If you don't want to change, ask me what else to do! Have fun with me!?

“Minister of etiquette.” The Little Emperor finally let go of Camisillo: “What else do you have to say about the funeral of the First King? ”

The Minister of etiquette hastened to say no.

“Well, what about the list of funeral attendees, I've seen it.” Charlie frowned: “I remember pressing, the Duke and above must attend. But the name of the Duke of Tulip is no longer on it. ”

Is it the Duke of Tulip again?

The Minister of etiquette was also sweating, and he hurried: “Your Majesty, the Duchess of Tulip is still leading the army in the north. The battle is wrapped up and the military is important. I'm afraid he won't be able to get back. Therefore, according to the practice of the Empire, the commanding officer of the overseas army can...”

“No need.” Charlie interrupted him and shook his head: “Teacher and father are deeply affectionate. Send a letter immediately and call the Duke of Tulip back to the Emperor for the funeral. ”

“Ah…" the Minister of etiquette stunned and hurried to see Camisillo. He thought: "There is a war going on, bring back the commander of the front line for the funeral. What if the front line fights, without the Supreme Commander? This is a military matter, your Secretary of State should speak up.

But Camisillo caught fire in his heart and deliberately opened his eyes and closed his mouth to silence.

Everyone else closed their mouths and none of them were open at this moment.

What does the Little Emperor want?

This moment brings Dewey back... thousands of miles in disregard of the war in the North.

… take the opportunity to strip the Duke of Tulip?!

Ah! Gonna do it to the Tulip Family?!!

Everyone looked suspicious.

“So... Your Majesty.” Finally, an elder minister of the army spoke and couldn't help but ask: "On the eastern front, shall we temporarily set up a temporary commander to preside over the big picture? ”

“No,” Charlie shook his head.

Camisillo also got confused —— is the Emperor really going to do it?

Then the meeting adjourned, Camisillo thought, if it was true, then after the meeting the little emperor should summon himself privately and negotiate with himself to succeed Dewey as Commander of the Eastern Front!

He walked at the end of the day deliberately, thinking that the little emperor should have left himself open at this moment.

But he waited half a day, but didn't wait for the news. Looking back, the little emperor had already left quickly from behind the palace!

Camisillo couldn't smile, and he didn't know if he was helpless or disappointed, or whether he was burning.

Can't help sighing: Am I confused? Or is this little emperor confused?

The approximate course of the day's meeting, which was then passed on to the palace, soon fell into the ears of little Princess Karina.

Karina frowned and sighed after listening for a long time.

“Your Highness, will you not see His Majesty? ”

Miyagi Blue asked softly.

“It's gone.” Karina laughed bitterly: “Brother... he seemed a little overexcited. In today's meeting, he was right to beat up Camisillo Eliveh. But I borrowed the wrong topic. I shouldn't be talking about that Northwest Division thing —— it's too sensitive. Finally, the teacher was called back to the Emperor to attend the funeral. I don't think he meant anything. But that was heard by others, and his mention of the division today inevitably gave rise to speculation. But... okay, let them guess. Alas... after all, my brother has just come to power, and it is inevitable that things will be unstable. ”

Blue suddenly smiled: “But fine. When the Duchess of Tulip returns to Emperor, will you not see the teacher again? ”

Karina was not as smiling as usual. Her little face was full of anxiety: “At this time, in fact... I really don't want the teacher back. ”
