Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Four [One Hits] (Two in One)(1/2)
Chapter 194 [Hit up]
Brother Daling's face is naturally very exciting.
He and the handsome emperor stared at each other for a long time.
Finally... Chen Daolin sighed, his lips moved, then raised his eyelids and asked, "Your Majesty, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Ask!"
Chen Daolin pointed at his nose: "Am I handsome and handsome?"
The emperor smiled, graceful and charming, and then he said in a candid tone: "Of course not."
"No, it's not, why add a 'of course'..." Chen Daolin was very hurt, and then he asked again: "That must be because you see that I have strong personal charm and the true nature of a girl killer who can make countless women fall in love with it?"
"I haven't seen this... Although I heard that you have a beautiful elf woman by your side, it has always been incredible. If you think about it carefully, it can only be explained that the aesthetics of the elf clan are probably different from that of us humans." The emperor sighed.
Chen Daolin nodded, held his breath and continued, "That must be some of my specific highlights. Even if it is an ordinary person, there will always be highlights. For example, is my smile a bad look, which will particularly make girls excited?"
"This...of course, not either." The emperor continued to shake his head: "Although many women like men to smile badly... but you don't smile badly, just a little bit mean, and there is an urge to make people want to kick them."
“……………………”
Chen Daolin took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. Finally, he pointed to his nose and smiled bitterly: "I am not handsome and have no personal charm. I am not a girl killer. I smile even more like a slutty. Your Majesty, you have asked me to pursue the noblest and most difficult-to-chase daughter of heaven in the world. Don't you think you have found the wrong person?"
The emperor spread his hands and said, "How do I know why? Anyway, for so many years, you are the only young man of the opposite sex that she praised in her words. Don't say that you are like this now. Even if you look a hundred times ugly, you will be a thousand times cheaper when you smile. As long as you are a man, I will ask you to try it."
Just, as long as, as long as... is a public person?!!
Chen Daolin suddenly felt that he was insulted...
He clenched his fists silently, and then...released silently.
What else can I do?
He had to pull out his chair and stand up, then turn around and leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to jump into the lake." Chen Daolin pointed to the lake water in the garden.
The emperor smiled, and he stood up, took two steps, and reached out to press his hand on Chen Daolin's shoulder. The handsome emperor smiled a little sneakyly: "Little Darling."
"Um?"
"Don't you find this challenging?"
"There are many challenging things, such as rebellion and becoming an emperor, which is also very challenging." Chen Daolin said angrily.
The emperor snorted: "Don't forget, who are you talking to now? With just your words, I have the right to cut off your head. Even if you are a magician, you will not be exempted from punishment."
"But..." Chen Daolin sighed to the sky in grief and anger: "But can the emperor force others to be a novice?!"
Something must be wrong in this world!!
My brother Darling is in the real world. My grandmother doesn’t love my uncle or love me. When a woman sees me, she takes a detour. She finally meets two girls, one kicks me and the other treats me as a spare tire.
With a qualification like brother, when he came to this world, he suddenly became a hot commodity?
The richest man in the Liszt family wants to marry his daughter to himself! Now even the imperial emperor has come out to pimp himself? Let him go and play the most powerful strong woman in the empire?!
Is there any law of nature? Is there any law of kings?
...
"I didn't say that you would definitely do it. In short, you might as well try it. No matter whether you succeed or fail, I will never lose your benefits." The emperor smiled very comfortably.
Chen Daolin took a few deep breaths and looked at the emperor: "Do I... should I kneel down and thank His Majesty for your trust and generous gift?"
"It's not too late to kneel down after a while." The emperor's words made Chen Daolin almost hurt his internal injuries.
The two sat back on their seats. After the emperor finished his meal quietly, he had just put down the tableware when a palace servant led a middle-aged man to come slowly.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe, brown hair, and a calm and composed expression. Although his appearance was not outstanding, Chen Daolin couldn't help but look at him twice.
Those who can come to see the emperor directly without reporting are obviously not ordinary!
"Well, you're here faster than I expected." The emperor picked up a towel handed by a servant and wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, chuckled gently, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head deeply, his voice and tone were full of self-blame and guilt: "Please punish me for my dereliction of duty!" The middle-aged man raised his head, his forehead was covered with sweat, his eyes were filled with fear and fear, and even the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were trembling slightly, obviously from the heart that was terrified and nervous.
The emperor saw it, but his expression was still faint, and he waved his hand: "Okay, no need to act anymore. If I want to truly cure your sins, you will not see me at all now and have been thrown into the prison and crying against the wall. You, the king and the minister, have been so many years, but have gradually learned such hypocritical behavior recently. Get up and tell me what you found."
“…Abide by the order!”
The middle-aged man then got up in a hurry, but before speaking, hesitated to look at Chen Daolin.
Chen Daolin immediately understood and was about to get up to say goodbye, but the emperor waved his hand: "Don't be shy, Xiao Daling is someone I can trust. If it weren't for him, I would have been injured by the assassin. If there were any words, just say it clearly, Pete."
After a pause, the emperor pointed at the middle-aged man casually and said to Chen Daolin: "This is my court minister of interior, Mr. Peter Statham, little Darling, you can get to know each other, I think you will have to deal with more in the future."
Chen Daolin quickly stood up and nodded to the palace minister of interior affairs. Peter did not dare to neglect it, and saluted Chen Daolin seriously and said a few polite words.
With the emperor's order, Pete did not dare to hesitate and immediately began to report.
"Your Majesty, after the incident, I immediately sent someone to control the palace. First, I temporarily controlled all the close servants who followed you today, as well as the chef servants in the kitchen, and the guards who were on duty nearby today, a total of 136 people were all included in the suspect list and temporarily controlled them."
"Well, then?" the emperor asked lightly.
Chen Daolin was secretly surprised when he heard this!
It turned out that he was always curious. Logically speaking, after encountering the assassination, the emperor should be furious and immediately sent someone to investigate thoroughly! How could he still have the leisure to tell him something boring? It seemed that he didn't care about the assassination at all.
Now Chen Daolin understood... because the other party was the emperor! He didn't need to give instructions to these things one by one. This Minister of Interior, who had already done all the work on his behalf!
The attendants around the emperor, the guards on duty, the chefs, the servants... all 136 people have been arrested for interrogation and investigation!
Chen Daolin clearly heard a fierce and decisive murderous aura from the words of the court’s minister of interior!!
"I have already started to investigate all of these 136 people. Among them, 71 guards of the Imperial Guards have no problems with their history and no suspicion when something happens. However, when the assassin entered the garden after their investigation, he was guilty of dereliction of duty. Six chefs and thirty-one kitchen servants were not suspected. We have checked your food, and there was no poisoning or abnormality. They have been temporarily released, but people are still staring at them. The rest are the servants around you, Your Majesty. "Peter spoke in an orderly manner: "
Because the assassin is a servant around you, you have conducted a strict inspection of these people. I have personally read the resumes and information of all of them and confirmed that there are no traces of forgery and tampering. Among them, the longest one in the palace has been twenty-one years, and the least one is nine years, and there is no doubt about this. From the preliminary examination, there is no doubt about the result of the interrogation. I have sent someone to check their residences, and have never found any suspicious objects or property of unknown origin."
"Where is that dead assassin?" the emperor raised his eyebrows.
"The dead assassin was named Carlos. He entered the palace for fourteen years. He worked as a servant in the kitchen for eight years. Later, he was transferred to the ritual supervisor to serve as a servant for four years. He was transferred to you two years ago to serve you. I have seen his resume. He is innocent and has nothing suspicious. He also has parents and two younger sisters at home. He has a large farm. He has saved up his salary for many years in the palace. He lives without any trouble in money recently.
The problem. And... I have checked Carlos's documents in the palace and the evaluation of his chief every year. This person is cautious and low-key, but very smart, always very steady, and has never had bad records. It can be said that... there are few such innocent and clean resumes. After checking the documents, I found that if it hadn't been for this incident today, with Carlos' excellent performance, he would have been promoted to a member of your personal servant team at the end of the year."
"You mean, he is clean?" The emperor glanced at Pitt.
Pete hesitated for a moment, and he said slowly: "From the information in my hands, it's like this! He has been in the palace for fourteen years. If he were an assassin, I think no organization can let an assassin lurk in the palace for fourteen years without being discovered! What's more, he has family and relatives, and his resume has no trace of forgery. So... what I can't understand now is why such a guy suddenly turned into a traitor assassin. He could have had a bright future, and he has not encountered anything special recently, so there should be no possibility of being bribed."
Speaking of this, Pete added: "Of course, your majesty, this is just the result of the analysis of the information I am currently in. I will continue to investigate and see if I can find more valuable clues. So..."
"So what are your suggestions now?" the emperor looked at Pitt.
"My suggestion is that for your safety, all the closest servants around you should replace them, and these people should be left to me to deal with, Your Majesty. Today, all the servants who follow you and all the servants who come to the garden to serve are suspected. They must be temporarily controlled and allow me to review them slowly! I think that for such a premeditated assassination, the other party should not have only such a chess piece. I am worried that if there are other assassins hidden among the servants beside you, it may be a call..."
"alright!"
Before Pete finished speaking, the emperor interrupted him. The emperor sat upright, looked at Pete, looked at him for several times, and then his face calmed down a little.
"Thank you for your hard work, Pete." The emperor whispered in a gentle tone: "Things happened suddenly. In such a short time, you have made these investigations, which is enough to show that you have used your heart."
Pete quickly paused his head.
"I know that there are always special reasons for such sudden events. You cannot blame you." The emperor then changed his tone and said slowly: "But you are the Minister of Internal Affairs I personally appointed. After all, you will not escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty in the palace. Therefore, even if I don't want to punish you, I have to do this to show my power!"
"I... understand, Your Majesty. Please punish me, I'm convinced." Pete sighed.
"Just understand." The emperor nodded, looked at Pit kneeling in front of him, his face calmly, and a satisfied look flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Transfer my order, Minister of Interior Pete Statham, who is responsible for misunderstanding, will be fined for one year. And the title of the palace count on you, please temporarily demote to viscount."
When Peter heard this, he seemed to breathe a long sigh, and quickly lowered his head, and his tone was very sincere: "Your Majesty is so kind, I really want me..."
"Okay." The emperor shook his head: "What I don't like the most is these styles. If you do it well, do a few things for me, your palace title will naturally be promoted."
After pausing, he said again: "Celtic, the commander of the Imperial Guard, is responsible for his misunderstanding. Well... he is also fined one year for salary. He will be transferred from the Imperial Guards and let him go to the Royal City Guards to practice for a few years! As for the position of the commander... I think about it again, you will call that guy Panning tomorrow, and I want to talk to him."
"Yes!" Peter quickly lowered his head and wrote down the emperor's words one by one.
"As for the servants around me, after your inquiry today, you will put them back without any doubts. The people around me don't need to change them. This matter should have nothing to do with them. They are all innocent people who are loyal to me. This assassination is free in my heart and I don't have to involve these pitiful innocent people. There has been enough things recently. If even the servants around me are replaced and arrested for interrogation, wouldn't it make people panic? It makes the thieves hiding in the dark laugh out loud!"
"Your Majesty!!" Peter couldn't help but tell: "But your close servants..."
"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with them, I know what I know." The emperor made a decision without waiting for Pitt to say.
Since the emperor made the final decision, Pete didn't dare to say anything else and was about to bow and take his leave.
"etc!"
The emperor suddenly seemed to remember something and reached out and knocked his forehead: "I almost forgot something important, haha... If I really forgot this matter, I'm afraid someone will complain behind my back that I'm unfair in dealing with things and the rewards and punishments are unknown."
As he said that, the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin, then coughed: "I was assassinated on the street the day before yesterday, and today the garden was assassinated. Both things were made in one, and there were magicians Darling. Mr. Chen loyally protected him. Such merits must be rewarded. Well, Pete, remember to draft a reward order. Give Mr. Chen the title of magician in the palace and the privilege of entering and leaving the palace..."
Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Daolin and smiled, "Little Darling, do you like to be a magician? Or do you prefer to be a noble?"
"This..." Chen Daolin blushed and whispered: "I don't refuse either."
"Haha! I'm very greedy at such a young age." The emperor thought for a while and looked at Chen Daolin strangely: "Are you a noble title? You can't be awarded lightly without real merits. Besides... what I told you today, if you do it, are you still afraid of not having a title? Well, I'll give you a palace title first, Pete, and I'll give you a court title to Daling."
When Chen Daolin heard this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, with a question in his eyes: "Your Majesty... How big is this lord? How big is this lord? How big is it to give me a fiefdom? Can I establish my own private army? How much tax can I charge?"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and even that Pete couldn't help but smile.
