Chapter 279 [Just wait tonight!]!

The results of this competition in the Magic Academy were unexpected but expected. It may be a bit contradictory to say this, but for some people who have been observing Chen Daolin secretly, they have long known it.

"This kid is really very capable of turbulence."

In the palace.

In the garden full of thorny flowers, the emperor, who had already received a detailed report on the entire competition that day, closed the booklet in his hand with a smile, and threw it to Pitt, who had been serving by his side.

Old Pete has looked more and more haggard in the past two days, with more wrinkles on his face than usual, with his eyes drooping and bloodshot.

The emperor glanced at him and couldn't help but sigh: "Thank you for your hard work these days."

Pete quickly lowered his head: "It's my minister to serve Your Majesty..."

"Okay, there's no need to say beautiful words." The emperor smiled, walked gently to a thorny flower, stretched out his finger, slowly stroked the dense thorns on the stem, and sighed: "Peter, you are all fine, you are loyal to me and are cautious in doing things, but in the past two years, you have become more and more timid - do you think I am like a fool with a tyrant who hides all the birds? You don't have to hide your weakness in front of me all day long, I know you are very smart - the Minister of Interior I promoted myself, if you are a fool, wouldn't you say in disguise that I am a blind man?"

Pete quickly coughed twice.

The emperor looked up and looked at Pete, his tone became softer, and he whispered: "You have served me for twenty years. When I was the crown prince, you were my confidant. Now, for many years, you have been more and more careful in recent years and have become separated from me."

Pete's eyes were a little complicated, but when he raised his head, the expression on his face was still a little awe.

"Okay. I know... you are still afraid after all." The emperor shook his head and then chuckled slowly, "I know you are loyal to me. You have worked hard enough during this period. After the big events of the New Year celebration, the next things will go smoothly. I can give you a sentence today: Pete, you are my old minister. As long as you are loyal to me, we both will start and end well."

As an emperor, it is extremely rare to say such words to his subordinates. Peter was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his whole body was shocked! His eyes were a little incredible and then he became excited.

Peter trembled and knelt down on one knee at the emperor, his voice choked: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...you..."

"Okay." The emperor seemed a little tired and whispered: "I can see all your efforts these days. You are the one I trust the most. You should understand that I will leave such a big thing to you. So... you don't have to do it so carefully in front of me in the future, let alone pretend to be stupid."

"…………Yes.” Pete stood up tremblingly, raised his head to look at the emperor.

The emperor suddenly felt aroused: "On the day of the college competition...who else went?"

"The guest list is on the back of the booklet." Pete thought for a while: "I'm sure there are no missing."

"Well." The emperor nodded: "Hillo didn't go? Didn't he send anyone? Didn't he get used to this little Darling? A few days ago, he took Darling to the Royal Villa and got drunk. Haha... He was dragged by him to grill fish in the kitchen - I have never eaten the charcoal roasted piranha made by Darling."

Although the emperor was joking, Pete's face did not relax at all. He said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness of the Prince has indeed not been present and has not sent anyone to congratulate him. Speaking of which, over the past few days, His Royal Highness of the Prince has been living in the other courtyard and never went out for a step away, and he has refused visitors......The prince has always been like this, so there is no need to worry."

When talking about the last four words, Pete seemed to have said it with gritted teeth. He struggled for a long time, and even his face turned red.

The emperor raised his eyelids and looked at Pitt, and nodded slowly: "Well, it's right to say this, you don't have to hide in the future."

After a pause, the emperor asked again: "So...what are the people over there?"

"Hmph..." Pete smiled faintly: "There seems to be very proud these days. I heard that His Majesty summoned Goth back to Beijing. On the day of the Magic Academy competition, the news of Dean Carmen's two things went south to leave Beijing. It was almost time for the other side to celebrate. It is said that there are two families, and they have already started to send invitations and hold banquets in the past two days. Just wait for the New Year celebration...

A chill flashed in the emperor's eyes and said lightly: "Don't relax, you still have to keep a close eye! The more you go to the end, the more you should not relax! I have read history books since I was a child, and many major things were ruined when I was only one step away from victory. You must not be careless about this matter!"

"Yes! I get rewards twice a day, morning and evening, and the people below dare not slackew for a moment." Pete's tone was very confident.

"You did a good job." The emperor closed his eyes and thought about it again, and passed the whole situation in his heart. He didn't think of any mistakes. He felt a little relieved. He slowly picked a thorny flower and gently picked it up on his fingertips, and said quietly: "Peter, do you know that emperors of all generations actually don't like this garden in the palace?"

Pete was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the emperor suddenly mentioned this topic - it was a jump too much. However, Pete was the emperor's chief in the interior, and after all, he was with the emperor for twenty years. He knew the other party's temperament. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "Your Majesty, this thorn flower is a national flower and a royal totem. However, judging from the flowers and flowers, it is indeed a bit monotonous. However, the Royal Garden has never been just for playfulness and scenery. The garden planted thorn flowers, which also reminds emperors of all generations not to forget the hardships of their ancestors' creation......"

"Hmph." The emperor smiled without comment, and then said lightly: "It is not possible to decide whether to forget the roots or not by planting flowers in a garden. If a person is really heartless, even if he is repeatedly told every day, he will still forget it completely. If there is really no need to remind him, he will be careful as if he is walking on thin ice. It is just a garden...."

Then the emperor smiled and said, "Look at the houses of those aristocratic families, the gardens of each family are colorful and colorful, but the huge garden in my palace can only plant thorn flowers. It's just like this when spring comes and winter goes. If you haven't seen enough, that's really a lie."

Pete said nothing and was just standing by the side, but he was quickly thinking about what the emperor said.

"The thorn flower grows in a bad place, it is the most resistant to bitter cold, and it is harsh in conditions and can survive. The ancestors used this flower as the royal totem. One is to make the younger generation not forget the spirit of this thorn flower, not to be soaked in the flowers and the country, and forget the ambition of forging ahead. On the other hand, do you know why?"

"...I don't know." Pete answered honestly.

The emperor gently handed the bud in his hand to Pitt. Pitt didn't understand his intention, but he still reached out to take it in his palm.

"You try to squeeze it tight." The emperor smiled.

Pete's five fingers were tightened with force, and his fingertips were suddenly pierced by the thin thorns on the thorny flowers, and the red blood beads flowed out.

"See?" the emperor said lightly: "This is the second meaning of our ancestors! Never be weak when encountering things! If you dare to touch me, I will make you see blood!"

The meaning of these words made Peter shocked and then he felt a little chill.

Peter knew very well that over the past few days, in order to obtain the position of crown prince, the series of chaos caused by the imperial capital have greatly exceeded the bottom line of the emperor!

Especially as the emperor of the Empire, he was assassinated continuously, and major cases occurred frequently in the imperial capital. Even the Dean of the Magic Academy was involved and almost died!

Some guys are almost crazy when doing things. They are really anxious and can do everything!

And this emperor, his majesty, has obviously endured this kind of thing to the limit! If it were on weekdays, he would have used thunder to carry out a bloody suppression and purge!

But because the New Year celebrations were about to announce the great affairs of the heirs and to appease the attitudes of the bigwigs in all aspects and fields of power in the empire, the emperor has been patient and has not launched yet.

Once the New Year celebration is over, the throne has become settled, then the next thing... is......

See blood!

There is an elite "Thunder Whip" stationed in the remote suburbs of the imperial capital!!

At this time, the emperor summoned foreign troops to the imperial capital to serve the king. It was obvious that his dissatisfaction with the powerful and powerful people who were taking advantage of the troubled waters in the imperial capital reached the extreme, and... he also developed suspicion and distrust!

The emperor knew very well that the powerful and powerful parties who fought for the throne were deeply ingrained in the empire, and it was difficult to secretly protect whether they had any connection with the Royal City Guards. As the defenders of the imperial capital, the Royal City Guards were always not gods who were not in the world, but always had to deal with people and interact with people. In the large dye vat of the imperial capital, the Royal City Guards would inevitably be gradually penetrated by people from all sides, bringing a bit of factional color.

Your Majesty's move clearly shows that he no longer trusts the Royal City Guards! Especially the continuous assassination and the murders on the streets all disappointed the emperor with the incompetence of the Royal City Guards!

It is conceivable that once the New Year celebration is celebrated and the major event is completed, the imperial capital will usher in a large-scale cleaning!

The first thing to be affected is the church that jumped the most fiercely a few days ago!

With Peter's understanding of the emperor, just finding an excuse to execute two illegal bishops and forcing the old pope to abdicate, it cannot completely eliminate the emperor's anger!

After all, this is the assassination of the king of a country! And the culprit of the assassination has not been brought to justice yet! The emperor did not teach in order not to cause any more trouble before the New Year celebration.

Moreover, it deliberately sent a confusing signal that made the church think that they had abdicated a pope and made sufficient compromises, and the royal family no longer pursued it.

In addition to the church, there are those "real Augustines"! Once the position of the crown prince is in charge, whether it is to prevent these "real Augustines" from harming the crown prince in the future, or to eliminate future troubles, the emperor will never tolerate these guys continuing to make trouble.

We will definitely use thunder to remove some of the extremists from bloody!!

And there are also... I'm afraid that it is the wealthy and powerful families who have stood in the wrong team, made the wrong camp in this competition for the crown prince! There will also be a cleanup in the aristocratic circle!

Even to clear the way for the future crown prince.

Therefore, others may think that the New Year celebration will be the end of all this turmoil. But only Pete, the most trusted confidant around the emperor, understands it very well!

The New Year celebration is just the beginning of a big turmoil!

The elite division of 20,000 "Thunder Whip" outside the city has been sharpened!!

Just as Peter was thinking about these things, the emperor suddenly asked: "What news has General Aker been going on in the past few days?"

Peter quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with General Aker. All the soldiers of the Second Division of Thunder Whip, only the leader of His Majesty is to follow the sabers of the Thorny Flower Emperor Flag! I don't think there will be any problem with General Aker's loyalty."

The emperor nodded and smiled faintly, "Of course I wouldn't doubt Aker. Speaking of which, the Luolin family is also a relative of the royal family, and everyone has the same bloodline. The Luolin family has always been the most loyal martial arts family in the empire. I am naturally relieved to have Aker commanded the Second Division of Thunder Whip. What's more, when I was young, I served the Second Division. This army is outside the city. I can't be assured. I'm asking you..."

Pete immediately understood and said slowly, "General Aker's goal is too big. The Second Division is stationed outside the city. I don't know how many people have touched the nerves. Since General Aker returned, he has been in the military camp outside the city and has never returned to the residence of Count Rollin in the imperial capital. The only time he entered the city was the dinner party where President Carmen was assassinated. General Aker was very cautious in his work and would never contact his old colleagues in the imperial capital. The camp gates of the military camp were closed, and everything was governed by wartime regulations. Even if outsiders wanted to make up his mind, they would probably have no chance."

"I'm not worried about Aker's loyalty. I really want to see. If I put out such a bright light, those idiots will hit me head-on." The emperor's tone was cold.

Peter felt cold.

He immediately understood the emperor's intention!

At this time, those who dare to run to provoke Aker and try to win over or contact Aker will be directly listed as blacklist by the emperor for later cleaning!

Thinking of this, Pitt suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

In fact, there are quite a lot of people who have been running around the Count of the Luolin family these days, or sending people to the military camp outside the city to try to find out the news!

After all, the most elite ace army of the 20,000 empires was stationed outside the city to sharpen their swords, and it was in such a sensitive period, which naturally touched the hearts of too many people.

Some people may not just want to make bad plans, or they may just instinctively want to inquire about the news and send people to approach Aker - but in this way, they will violate His Majesty's taboo.

If I take out this list, I am afraid that many people will be settled by this Majesty in the future. At that time...

But just as Pete was hesitating, he suddenly looked up and saw the emperor looking at him with a smile. Peter suddenly felt a deep heart. He didn't dare to hesitate at this moment. He immediately took a deep breath, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, and handed it on.

"Your Majesty, many people have gone to Luolin's house to find out the news these days, and some have sent people to try to spy on the military camp outside the city... My subordinates are staring at each of them, and they are all recorded on it one by one."

The emperor took the scroll of paper, but smiled softly, as if looking at Pitt with deep meaning: "Don't look back on things in the future. Pitt, it doesn't matter if you are soft-hearted for a while, but if this happens, others may not accept your affection."

Peter naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's typing. He wiped the sweat beads from the tip of his nose and quickly lowered his head.

But I was already secretly scolding myself in my heart: I just became the emperor's loyal dog. I was really confused for a moment, and I even thought of other thoughts...

The emperor glanced at the scroll of paper, as if he had no expression, but when he saw it at the end, he actually smiled.

"Oh, look at your record... The boy from Governor Fritz's house has been running hard recently at the Earl's Mansion of the Rollings."

"Uh......" Pete smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lucius and Miss Jill, the daughter of General Aker, have a engagement. This time Miss Jill came to the imperial capital and was on the same boat as Master Lucius. Is it a young man? It is normal to run harder at this time. Moreover, Miss Jill from the Rollin family has eye disease, and Lucius is also deeply in love, so......"

"I naturally understand this." The emperor touched his chin and smiled, "Since I am the emperor, I cannot ignore the sufferings of my subordinates' families. Didn't Jill have eye diseases? Then send someone to bring her to the palace and ask the doctors in the palace to help you see. If the doctor is not good, there are also the mages of the court. Please ask Master Clark to pick up a master of magic and pharmacy to help you see. It just so happens that the queen is a little lonely these days, so let Miss Jill accompany the queen."

(This... is for quality!)

Peter's expression did not dare to change at all. Although his heart was like a drum beat, he remained expressionless and nodded calmly: "Yes, I will send someone to Earl Rowlin's Mansion to spread the message tomorrow."

December 31, early morning.

The streets of several main roads in the imperial capital have already been decorated with lights. The streets have been cleaned up, and the Triumph Street under the palace has been completely closed for martial law. It will only be open for citizens to enter and watch after the New Year celebrations in the evening.
To be continued...
