Chapter 72 Forcing the palace ([-])

There seems to be an unusual aura everywhere in the imperial palace tonight.

Du Wei's range of perception naturally covered the entire palace.Before he even got to the palace, he already found that tonight seemed rather strange.

For some reason, as the evening approached, according to common sense, the banquet had already started to enter.Commoners celebrated in the imperial capital, and nobles also had their own ways of communicating.Palace banquets are very common, and all the etiquettes are naturally familiar.However, according to Du Wei's perception, the banquet hall was still in the dark, with no atmosphere of a banquet at all.Except for a few court servants who are still on standby, the rest of the ministers are still staying in the side hall.

The carriage stopped outside the hall.Immediately, a waiter came up to welcome the three of them into the hall.

Du Wei frowned, obviously all the ministers hadn't entered yet, so what does it mean to let him go in first?Could this be another imperial etiquette that he had neglected?Since Du Wei got the title of prime minister before the new year, the empire has not officially held a high-level banquet. Maybe there is something different for the first time.

Vivian looked around and shrank her neck.That cute appearance made Du Wei want to pinch her nose: "Du... Du Wei, why, why, why only... only us come first? The rest... of.. .”

Qiao Qiao heard a little anxious, and took Vivienne's words: "Where did everyone else go? Are we the only ones here to hold this banquet?"

After all, the two sisters don't have Du Wei's strong perception, but they don't have the ability to see people through walls.

Du Wei shook his head: "I don't know, maybe the banquet will not officially start until we enter the venue first?"

The three said as they walked, and when Du Wei finished speaking, the three of them had already arrived at the closed gate of the temple.The waiter leading the way backed away slowly, implying that Du Wei would push the door open by himself.

Du Wei felt more and more weird.He didn't do anything, but thought a little bit, and the door opened slowly, as if a gust of wind was slowly blowing open the temple door.

Brightly lit.Everything is ready, the table is full of wine and candles.The instruments of the band are also ready on the dance floor.But there is no one to be seen!

The two girls looked at each other in blank dismay.Du Wei frowned, looking behind the tall throne.

Under the shroud of lights, a figure gradually appeared from the apse.

The figure was wearing a long blue dress.There seems to be a kind of nobility in the hazy.Turning around, she walked towards the three of them.

It's blue!

Du Wei opened his mouth and asked in surprise, "What happened today? What happened? Didn't you say it was the Queen's birthday party? Why hasn't it started yet?"

Lan Lan stood in front of the throne, looking down at Du Wei.She didn't answer Du Wei's question, but said with a sweet smile: "Duke Tulip, Mr. Prime Minister. Before the banquet starts, can I ask you a few questions, not just the little girl Lanlan?"

Huh?This... This scene is very similar to the princess of Xixia recruiting a concubine in Tianlongbabu!What is this doing?Still have questions?I'm not a contestant!Although Du Wei was puzzled, he still said: "Miss Lanlan, you are being polite. As the Minister of Etiquette, why should you be so humble?"

"That's good. Please forgive me for my rudeness. What do you think of the current situation of the Roland Empire?"

"The future is bright. The overall situation of the criminals in the north has been decided, and the Nanyang is under the control of the navy. As for the grassland, although the situation is strong at the moment, but now the trade transactions are flourishing, the empire has penetrated a lot, and the day of defeat is just around the corner. Looking around, there is no big enemy anymore. If the queen is diligent in governing, the next few decades will surely be the prosperity that the Roland Empire has never seen in a thousand years." "All this is due to you, my lord duke." Lan Lan's smile made Du Wei touch it even more. Don't think about it: "Then, what you just said is the foreign invasion of the empire. Yes, the criminals were defeated by you alone and before the canal. The prairie people are not allowed to enter outside your family territory. But not only do you remember? , the notes you wrote on the general history of the mainland?"

"what?"

"Back then, Emperor Aragorn founded the empire, built the White Tower, and built the canal. Everyone said that the empire was invincible, so why waste time and effort to build such a magnificent project. You commented next to it, a powerful political system , when it loses its enemies, then that is the beginning of its decline. And what causes its decline will always come from internal contradictions.”

Du Wei nodded: "That's right! It's the second volume of the General History of the Mainland, and it writes about some things about the establishment of the Roland Empire. I was impressed by the great achievements of Emperor Aragorn at the time, but I was also moved by the decline of the bloodline later. So beside Wrote such a note."

That's right, it's not just the empire created by Aragorn back then, whose bloodline died down for four generations.Back then, the demons, who were more prosperous than humans, were not crazy and depraved because of their own defeat?

"According to what you said, the empire is currently invincible. Where will the empire go in the future? You also said that the general trend of the world is that if it is divided for a long time, it will be united, and if it is united for a long time, it will be divided. Then, what do you think are the internal contradictions of the empire?"

Du Wei narrowed his eyes.

What does this... mean?Thinking about it carefully, is this referring to the imminent catastrophe or internal conflicts in the empire?However, the biggest contradiction in the empire at present is naturally the temple!Under the silence of the criminals, the power of the temple has begun to move.After all, humans have won the war. Although most of the glory is due to tulips, the temple says it is the blessing of the goddess, and the people don't believe it!Du Wei naturally noticed such an expansion of influence.It's just that I haven't figured out how to deal with it for a while.

But saying it in this hall would be a bit treasonous!Du Wei thought for a while, and said, "Emperor Aragorn's blood died for four generations. The root cause is that the empire has been in peace for too long. The conflict between the local and the central government intensified, and the empire fell into a century-long split. Later, His Majesty Augustine I made a bold move to reunify the empire. Judging from the current situation, the contradictions of the empire are no more than this."

Speaking of this, Du Wei couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Why, feel that my tulips and thorns have been equal, and finally feel uneasy, let me jump out?The local power is too strong, haha, who else can the local power be besides our own Northwest?

"Your Prime Minister is right!"

A majestic voice came out, it was the Minister of Military Affairs Camisiro!

Camisiro walked to Lan Lan step by step with a smile on his face. "The biggest problem of the empire at present is indeed that the local power is too strong. The frontline battle is over, and there is no need to be too tense about the huge army stationed. But the army is in charge, and the people in charge of the army are nobles with their own territories! The main force under control is not as powerful as the local private army." Du Wei's face slowly sank.What does it mean to be inferior to the local private army?The number of troops directly under the Imperial Army is much higher than that of the local private army!Not to mention the millions of local garrison troops.The three main station corps alone have more than 50 elite troops.Coupled with the imperial guards, the number of private troops is at least four times greater than that of the private army.So what is it talking about? Is there even a need to ask?No matter how elite the army is, will it be the enemy of the air force?Who is in control of the sky under the sun?Isn't he Du Wei!The imperial air force still depends on the fuel of the Tulip Grand Duke!But the air force under Du Wei, in addition to his own hot air balloon unit, also has the Decepticon squad, Slytherin, and the most terrifying thing is Tulip himself!His feat of eradicating 30 lives by one man put all the troops to shame.And strictly speaking, Du Wei can be regarded as an integration of sea, land and air.This has been said so clearly.I want to let myself know the trade-offs.

"Oh? What does Master Camisiro mean by this? Is it because the military department feels that the world is peaceful and the power of tulips is no longer needed, so they want to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the birds are all gone?"

When this sentence was asked, Du Wei's heart was already cold.Is the empire finally going to kill itself when it reaches its peak?Chen, Chen, the empire that I have worked so hard to help you protect, do you really not trust yourself so much?That being the case, I am also benevolent.

The dialogue between the two sides became tense in an instant.There is no doubt that Camisiro's next sentence will become a sharp blade that tears through the last layer of window paper!

But an old man came out slowly again.It's Finance Minister Munes.

Munes eyes are very clear.He glared at Camisiro, as if he thought his tone was too aggressive.Then I looked at Du Wei: "Du Wei, old man, let me explain, I'm afraid you're thinking too much! What kind of temperament is our Queen, don't you, a teacher, know? It's really... the young people of today, who don't move at all. I like to make things tense. Camisiro, you too. Can't you just talk about it?"

When Du Wei heard this, his face became a little better.He thought of Karina.The girl who will always regard herself as an idol.She is a smart person and would not do such a thing.But what do these three people mean now?A Minister of Military Affairs, a Minister of Finance, and a Minister of Etiquette, it can be said that these three people are the pillars of the empire.The prime minister is more responsible for overall planning.

After Munes became a peacemaker, he changed the subject and took over the topic Camisiro just said: "Du Wei, although Camisiro's words are not very nice, but the truth is true! Think about it. Empire For thousands of years, has there ever been such a huge power like you? Even if it is a temple, I am afraid it cannot compare to you! Not to mention that you control the trade between the empire and the grassland, and the military power alone, it can be replaced by anyone except Her Majesty Karina. Being the emperor is enough for him to have trouble sleeping and eating."

"Then I don't know what Master Munes's opinion is?"

The old man smiled shyly: "It's not a good opinion. Du Wei, in fact, you and I know it well. Is the biggest contradiction in the empire really the so-called huge place? Your loyalty and the trust of Her Majesty are the result of every Everyone in the empire knows it. The tulip flag and the thorn flower flag are flying together over the mainland. The problem you mentioned is not a problem at all. What is the real crisis? The empire has no heirs! Augustine’s blood is still withered. Its dynasty also ended in Your Majesty Karina I. But what about the bloodline of Thorn Flower? Your Majesty, she is a woman after all. If no one inherits the empire after ten or twenty years, that will be the biggest disaster!"
