The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes

It was another normal morning. Charles was called away by the Empress early in the morning. Polly washed yesterday's dirty clothes as usual, wrung them dry, hung them on the clothesline, and then clamped them with clips.

Don't look at the simple clips for drying clothes. It is not easy to mass-produce the springs. Charles can only make the bronze shop use elastic tin bronze strips to make a "" shape, and break it left and right into a "∪" shape. Then let go, so that it can play the role of clipping things.

Bo Lei dried all her clothes, raised her hand to wipe the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, and felt that it was him. It was like this before. In a few days, a lot of things came out. I don't know what he's going to do.

A certain person was in the kitchen of the palace just after teaching Empress Roland how to steam steamed buns and meat buns.

Compared with bread, one of the advantages of steamed buns is that they save fuel. Roger, who has steamed countless buns at the Nanhai Farm Steaming Bureau, has the most say. When the shipping of Knowledge City was interrupted, he did a comparative experiment.

The most intuitive is that the space of the bread oven is far worse than that of the steamer that can be stacked one floor high.

It's just that the steamed buns are not suitable for long-term preservation, but this is not a problem in the palace, the big deal is for the servants to eat, and it is not a problem in the city.

The Empress is in charge of the expenses in the palace, so it is natural to promote methods that can save money.

Then Charles came to Emperor Friedkin's study, where he was studying the map on the wall with the old scholar who had been in the arena box that day.

Charles has learned from Mr. Hozenproz that this old scholar is the author of the several history books he is reading. Prince Ti's teacher.

After the salute, the emperor asked Charles directly: "What do you think about your future life?"

Knowing that he couldn't be fooled this time, Charles replied earnestly: "I will always be loyal to His Majesty Emperor Friedkin now, and will always be loyal to His Majesty Emperor Totti in the future."

Polymeni gave him a deep look, and His Majesty the Emperor frowned and said, "Did I drink too much wine last night and still not wake up?"

Charles replied, "Your Majesty, you and I are both sober at the moment."

"Reason." The emperor said in an unquestionable tone, "I don't have much time, Totti is too young, your identity, age, bravery and wisdom are just right."

"For the Roman Empire!" Charles said very solemnly, "The decline and even destruction of powerful empires often begin with internal turmoil. Presumably His Excellency Polimeni thinks so too."

"The emperor is worried about the decline of the empire, but the careerists are not worried. They only care about their own interests. When the empire is strong, they are attached to the empire. When the empire is weak, they are happy to seize the opportunity to bite a piece of meat from the empire, even Will turn into a wild dog that eats the corpses of the Empire."

"My identity is always a hidden danger. For example, I just happened to look like His Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Giannini, so the people of the Laccio Empire forged that necklace and gave it to me, and asked me to pretend to be a descendant of His Royal Highness Prince Giannini. ."

"Or, I'm just an illegitimate child."

"There are some people who are happy to make this real, as long as there is enough interest."

"In order to completely eliminate this hidden danger and for the stability of the empire, I swear to the gods that as long as I live on this land, I will never marry or give birth to descendants."

As soon as he finished speaking, His Majesty the Emperor drew out his saber and pointed at him, roaring, "Do you want Giannini to be the best?!"

Charles replied calmly: "The second son of Prince Totti can be adopted by Prince Giannini in the future."

He had inquired about Mr. Hozenproz before, there is also an adoptive system here, and illegitimate children have no right of inheritance.

Polimeni, who had not spoken, reached out and pressed the hand of His Majesty's sword, and said to Charles, "Don't you want to go to the Imperial Library? I will ask my students to take you there."

Emperor Friedkin couldn't have stabbed Charles to death with a sword for this. He took the sword back to its scabbard after reaching the steps, and then walked to the window with his back to Charles and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window.

After Charles came to the Imperial Library, he picked up a book of local customs and found a place to sit and read, ignoring the squire knight who was watching him behind him.

In the emperor's study, a group of bigwigs who were urgently summoned discussed what Charles had just said.

Everyone is embarrassed. Charles has the reason of Charles, and the emperor has the reason of the emperor. Both of them are for the empire.

Not to mention the issue of succession to the throne. This kind of thing is not about the core loyal ministers, or it is better to say less and make less mistakes. You can just follow the flow when the wind direction is clear.

Seeing everyone else trying to talk useful-sounding nonsense, Polimenie thought it was up to him to do it himself.

The key to this matter is that the emperor is getting old and his health is getting worse.

In Polimeni's view, Charles is a good candidate. The identity issue he mentioned is actually not a big problem. This kind of problem is only useful when he has no firm footing and no help.

The emperor is gone by then, but the empress dowager is still there. As long as she is sure that Charles's identity is no problem, then there will be absolutely no problem.

And it seems that it is not a problem for the queen to live for 20 or 30 years, it is enough.

Although it is said that in the Queen's view, it is better for her own grandson to be the emperor than her own son to be the emperor, but the Queen still has an identity, the spokesperson for the interests of her family's area.

At this point, Charles and Totti are no different to that "nerd province", but at the moment it seems that Charles is much smarter and will be more liked by the nerds, and they will let the queen know who to support.

Polymeni made an excuse and went to the lounge next to him to rest for a while with Emperor Friedkin.

The others were relieved to know that the old nerd must have an idea.

In the lounge, Emperor Friedkin looked at his old friend solemnly and listened carefully to his explanation of his solution.

"We can give Charles three options," Polimeni said.

"The first one, let him take back his words."

The emperor nodded directly, this was what he wanted most.

Polimeni continued: "Second, if Your Majesty, Your Majesty Prince Totti was underage when you were summoned by the gods, he would take your place. It is up to him how he will deal with His Highness Totti when he becomes an adult. Presumably he won't let the empire mess up."

The emperor thought for a moment and then understood that Charles refused to take over as the emperor on the grounds that the empire would not be chaotic. It would be better to let him submit for the same reason, at least to prevent the empire from having major problems in a short period of time. It's up to him to deal with it, he has done his best, and he is also farting.

Polymeni continued: "The third option is for His Majesty to drive him out of the imperial capital and let him go to the territory. Anyway, in the morning we were discussing to find a place for him to practice and learn how to govern the country, no matter what. Whether he chooses the first or the second one has to take this step, but the name of leaving the imperial capital is different. If he still objects at that time, I will persuade him to finally choose the second choice on the grounds that His Royal Highness Totti lacks experience in governing the country. ."

The emperor sat next to the chair, thought for a few minutes, and finally nodded.

He asked, "Where to give him the experience, do you have an idea?"

When Charles arrived just now, the two of them were still researching on the map to see where it was appropriate to give him experience.

Polymeni replied: "I think it is still suitable for the original territory of His Royal Highness Prince Giannini in the northern part of the imperial capital, where the land is rich and surrounded by nobles who used to support His Royal Highness Prince Giannini, it is very suitable for him to study *** ***** frowned slightly and said, "Will this be too deliberate, UU reading www. uukanshu. How can com punish people for sending people to good places. "

Polimeni explained: "This is the final choice. At the beginning, His Royal Highness can point to the poor place in the southeast corner and let him go there. He definitely doesn't know how it is there. I will let other ministers take it there. , the river is so fast that it is difficult to cross the river, the barbarians outside the country often invade and so on, and then everyone pleads for mercy, and finally His Highness relented and let him go to the place his father once ruled."

The emperor thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

It didn't take long for Charles to be called back from the Imperial Library.

Emperor: "Which of the three options do you choose?"

Charles: "The third one."

The emperor pointed to the southeast corner of the empire map: "Then go to this place!"

Charles: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Ministers who are going to be entrusted: I haven't started performing yet, why did you agree?
