[Devil's Law] When the Tulips Bloom

Rewind the time to three days ago, Prince Chen continued the celebration as if nothing had happened, and all the spectators had already left - after hearing such shocking news, who would care to watch any celebration ceremony if they didn't go back and gossip?Only nobles and officials with different thoughts and attitudes remained at the scene, as well as His Majesty the Acting Pope of the temple and the magicians of the Magic Union.

Prince Chen and the Acting Pope had no more polite words to say.Before the coup that year, he made an agreement with Pope Paul XVI, the former Pope of the temple, that the temple would help him during the coup, and he would become the godson of Pope Paul XVI after the coup.But later Paul XVI was murdered by Du Wei's design, and Prince Chen naturally broke the contract - the temple had nothing to do about it, even though they knew about the transaction somewhat vaguely, but the two parties, one dead and the other categorically denied, they could still force Is the imperial emperor the Pope's godson?This is of course impossible.

But there is no doubt that the temple holds grudges against Prince Shangchen—just kidding, the Guangming Temple in the dignified mainland has been played by people like this, how could it not hold grudges—if it wasn’t for the invasion of criminals that broke out later, the temple would definitely be clear. Secretly looking for all kinds of troubles for Prince Chen.As for this incident, it's hard to say how much the temple has been involved in it and how much it knows, but the person who has caused such a mess is naturally Prince Chen.

For the Roland Empire, His Majesty Aragorn Roland, the founding emperor, is already a deified figure.There are countless glorious deeds and historical legends about him, and he is still shining after thousands of years. He is an indelible and glorious image in the hearts of the people. Simply put, he is an alternative spiritual sustenance.And now, His Majesty the Emperor has been confirmed to have been reincarnated.In fact, this is nothing in itself. If the reincarnated person is someone else, everything is fine. Prince Chen can deal with it calmly, and the public may not have much reaction.

But this person is none other than Duke Tulip, Du Wei.

The name Du Wei had been ridiculed by the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital for more than ten years, and then once it rose, it was dazzling and unstoppable.There are many miraculous deeds of Duke Tulip that have been passed down in the empire. Du Wei himself is brilliant and good at strategy. Strength, power, power, he has everything.Such a famous person has the identity of the reincarnation of the founding emperor. If the person on the throne is a weaker monarch—for example, the previous emperor Augustine VI—I am afraid that many people are thinking about writing a letter to force him to give up. Bit up.

However, the current emperor is Prince Chen. He is the most outstanding emperor since the establishment of the Augustinian dynasty.This has also created such a very embarrassing and embarrassing scene now. If His Majesty, the founding emperor who has recovered his memory, wants to retake the throne—to be honest, everyone thinks this possibility is very high—what will the current Augustine royal family do? manage?What will the current emperor do?

Prince Chen didn't seem to have changed much from usual, his expression was calm, with a smile on his face, his gentleness and elegance made people feel close to each other.After presiding over the ceremony, he left the rest of the matter to the old prime minister, Rob Schell, on the grounds that he was unwell, and went back to the palace by himself.The Queen simply took Prince Charlie and Princess Karina to leave. Originally, after the awarding ceremony of the badge, there were many wonderful programs arranged, but now I am afraid that no one is interested in watching them.

Prince Chen did not go back to the palace, but went to the White Tower. The last time he came here, he learned about the invasion of criminals. He was very upset, so he came here to reassure himself. At that time, Du Wei had been quiet stay with him.But if you think about it carefully, after seeing the White Tower, Du Wei's expression seems to be a little bit wrong, huh, so that's the case... Prince Chen lowered his eyes and smiled lowly, his clenched hands seemed to want to squeeze Pierced his own palm.

"...Come here."

"Your Majesty." A man in black appeared quietly and knelt down on the ground.

"All of you, go and investigate Duwei." Prince Chen's face was watery, his voice was calm, "I want all the information you can find on him from birth to now, and you must not miss a single bit. Not only Du Wei, but also the people around him, so far, all the people he knows and has dealt with him, and the lives of these people, I also want to know all about them."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man in black led the order to retreat.

Prince Chen took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to lightly touch the wall of the White Pagoda, with more and more force, his fingers turned blue and white, but his expression was still so indifferent, and his sky blue pupils were calm.

The queen came here at this time. She first sent Charlie and Karina back to their respective palaces, and then asked her attendant where Prince Chen was, and came to look for him.The queen signaled the guards not far away to retreat, and soon only she and Prince Chen were left here. She took a step forward and said in a soft voice, "Your Majesty was shocked today, so let's take a rest."

Prince Chen withdrew his hand, turned around, glanced at her, and didn't speak to her.

The queen didn't mind such embarrassment, she walked to Prince Chen, and thoughtfully unfolded the cloak in her hand to help him tie it on, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is at ease, with Duke Tulip's friendship with His Majesty, the things His Majesty is worried about should not happen .”

"Oh?" Prince Chen slightly raised his eyebrows.

There was a bit of bitterness and complexity in the queen's smile, but she still looked very gentle. She sighed and said, "Forgive me for not agreeing with your majesty's previous choice, but I can see Duke Tulip's thoughts for your majesty very clearly. How can affection be inferior to power and status."

Prince Chen stared at the queen for a long time, "You are the queen, you don't have to worry about this." After speaking, he left the queen and went to his bedroom without looking back.

The queen stood under the white pagoda, watching Prince Chen leave, with a dignified and elegant appearance.She raised her head and looked at this magnificent white tower built for thousands of years. The bitterness faded from her face, and the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably.The most unpredictable thing in this world is the heart of an emperor. Love desires life, and evil desires death. All emperors since ancient times, no matter wise or stupid, have been like this.

When you like it, naturally everything is good, even if there are mistakes, you can just laugh it off.But the emperor is suspicious. Once the seeds of doubt take root, they will only grow stronger, until one day all the friendship in the past will be canceled out, and even love will turn into hatred.

Love and power, beauty and country, when the two cannot have both, how many people choose love instead of power and status?Yes, of course there are, but most of those people are stupid people, fascinated by love, how many of them ended up with a happy ending?Really smart people will naturally choose the more important things among them.As for the founding emperor Aragon, the current emperor Chen Augustine, and the Duke of Tulip, Du Wei, who dares to say that they are not smart people?

The queen walked back with a relaxed and comfortable pace, and the female officer who was waiting for her in the distance greeted her. The female officer did not have the queen's good mood at the moment, but a worried face.Seeing this, the queen smiled and said, "What's the matter, you look sad?"

"Aren't Your Highness worried?" The female officer lowered her voice, "Everyone is saying that His Majesty Aragorn is back, so our Majesty..." Rumors spread at the fastest speed. All kinds of rumors are flying, and everyone has something to say.

"It's not that easy to change today, so there's nothing to worry about." The queen snorted at this and said with a serious expression, "Go and pass on my order, the palace is not a place for you to chat and have fun, just let me do what I should do Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble will be severely punished according to the law."

The female officer nodded. Seeing that the queen was so calm, she also had a backbone. After serving the queen back to the bedroom, she went to do things as ordered.

Although the queen intervened in time to stop the panic in the palace, the atmosphere in the palace that was relaxed due to the martial arts tournament before could not be regained, and it was full of a feeling of depression.Prince Chen may be the most normal one in the whole palace except the empress. He is doing what he should do normally, dealing with government affairs and reviewing official documents.But the more Prince Chen behaved like this, the more cautious the guards and servants around him were, for fear of accidentally offending his master and becoming an unlucky scapegoat.

This atmosphere was maintained until three days later. In order to resist the invasion of the northern criminals—of course, in name of training the imperial army to deal with the tide of monsters in the frozen forest—the prince called the ministers to discuss the improvement of the imperial military command.This so-called command department was established by Aragon back then. It is similar to the model of a military academy and is used to cultivate military commanders. It has begun to take shape after thousands of years.However, the scale is small and has been controlled by the nobles for a long time. The significance of the noble children coming here to gild is greater than the meaning of its existence itself.

The war with the criminals is imminent, and the most urgent need of the empire now is general talents, so such a place is inevitably missed by Prince Chen.What I intend to discuss this time is to reform the command department. After all, the empire has been stable for decades, and there are not many generals who have actually fought wars. Even fewer generals can enter this officer training class to teach students, and Prince Chen also plans to To expand the number of students, the selection of candidates is to directly select some good seedlings from the army—regardless of background but only ability—so the selection of teachers is even more important.

This is the part that Camisiro is in charge of. In fact, Prince Chen has given Camisiro a long time ago. Camisiro also has a candidate in his mind, and wants to invite Du Weila in as a teacher, but now... Camisiro lowered his head and touched his nose, only feeling a lot of pressure.

"If you have no opinion on the expansion of enrollment, do you have any new teacher candidates you can recommend?" Prince Chen finished expressing his thoughts. The expansion of student enrollment would violate the interests of the nobles. After all, the place has always been controlled by the nobles. Rejecting commoners, but Prince Chen is completely too lazy to pay attention to their possible objections.

The people present looked at me and I looked at you, and finally turned their expectant eyes to the old Prime Minister Rob Schell, who cursed secretly in his heart, what a bunch of unkind guys.However, the old prime minister thought in his heart that His Majesty has been calm for the past three days as if nothing happened. Don't take any drastic actions. He didn't take any precautionary measures at all. This is... the meaning of trusting that the other party will not rebel ?Uh, although in a sense, it probably shouldn't be called treason...

"Your Majesty, I think General Andre and General Alpay are both good candidates." The old prime minister mentioned two candidates, but he wanted to propose Longbottom more than Alpay—his niece-in-law Kami Ciro and Alpay were at odds - but Andre was almost a member of Du Wei's faction, let alone Longbottom. He felt that Prince Chen would not be willing to consider using Du Wei's people at the moment.

Prince Chen just nodded slightly after hearing this, and his expression didn't change a bit.

The atmosphere in the hall became even more silent. Everyone felt that this discussion was too painful, and they were about to shed cold sweat.At this time, Prince Chen's personal attendant walked in with a very troubled expression, and he said in annoyance, "Your Majesty, Yu, uh, no... Well, those two adults have already entered the palace to ask to see His Majesty." gone."

The attendant was extremely depressed, God, what should he call the other party now?Lord Tulip?His Majesty Aragorn?Is there another one, directly calling His Majesty Pope Messius?Is this calling really okay?

Everyone's expressions changed, but Prince Chen, who was above the main seat, nodded very calmly, "Go and invite them in."
