In the early morning of the next day after Bolton was ordered to return to the royal city, the generals of the Guards Corps were still having breakfast. News like a thunderbolt from the clear sky suddenly came to the commander of the Guards Corps. The second prince, His Royal Highness Bolton, complained of illness and requested to be relieved of his duties in the legion.

, go home and recuperate.

The request was approved by Perseus on the same day, and a special person was sent to notify the entire army, which meant that Bolton officially withdrew from the front line, and it was not a transfer to the second or third line, but a direct resignation from all posts and sick return home. This changed everything

The soldiers were all caught off guard.

In the post of general after Bolton resigned, according to the transfer order, the military command of the Guards Corps will be taken by Perseus himself. There have also been large-scale job transfers among middle and high-level generals, and a large number of them have been dispersed and promoted to other positions.

Legion, the vacant positions will be filled by candidates designated by Perseus.

Such a transfer means that the nature of the bodyguards has changed, from the elite army led by Prince Bolton to the king's bodyguards of Perseus.

This was not over yet. After the leadership of the Guards Corps changed hands, Perseus's second order came down.

In the royal order, Perseus used the reason that "the country cannot be without border defense, and the border defense cannot be without elites", he transferred the "Cardinal Guard Corps" originally stationed in the royal city to the northern Tayu Province to coordinate with the capital of Lenglie Valley to guard the border.

The garrison of the royal city will be provided by the Guards Corps that have just finished their blood exchange.

This transfer seems reasonable on the surface. After all, the northern border suffered a large-scale invasion by the remnants of the Six Kings last year. The garrison of the border troops was replaced by the more elite Cardinal Guard Corps from the Guards Corps. This was a move to further consolidate the border defense.

However, in the eyes of discerning people, this transfer is extremely abnormal, because for so many years, the Cardinal Guard Corps has been stationed in the royal city and has the closest relationship with the royal family. This is why every soldier in the kingdom wants to sneak in here.

service.

Fortunately, now, the Cardinal Guard Corps has been dispatched to the north, completely leaving the center of power. Moreover, it should be noted that their duty is to "coordinate with the capital of Lenglie Valley to guard the border", which means that the "Governor" Sting of the province has

Control over the Cardinal's garrison!

This is not an ordinary defense change. It is a matter of transferring the Cardinal's garrison and throwing it to the north to be monitored by Lenglie Valley. In the name of Bolton's illness, the Guards Corps accepted the king's command and stationed in the royal city. It was completed.

A major change in the Forbidden Army.

Just when the ministers were still trying to understand the political signal contained in it, another royal order arrived like thunder.

Shortly after Perseus completely took control of the royal city's imperial army through defense adjustments, he held a formal meeting in the palace hall and requested that the investigation into the corruption in Danyu City be restarted.

When the scandal in Danyu City was first exposed last year, the whole country was shocked. From the royal family to the common people, they all knew that there would be corruption in a wealthy place like Danyu City, but no one thought that those dog officials could do it.

Burning granaries and reselling strategic grain reserves.

However, in the end, this incident turned out to be nothing but thunder and rain, and the royal family only hastily dealt with the then consul of Danyu City, Gomei, the censor Lin Gengsen, and some local officials.

None of the ministers involved in the matter were dealt with in the palace. Solandel was slapped by Perseus until she vomited blood for impeaching the eight princes at the Royal Council.

Many people thought that this matter was over just like that, but they did not expect that after Perseus dealt with the two major foreign troubles of the Far Eastern Dynasty and the remnants of the Six Kings, he directly dug out the old eucalyptus.

At the royal meeting last year, Perseus burned all the relevant account books in front of the princes, giving them a reassurance.

The princes thought they could rest easy without evidence, but in fact, the contents of those account books had long been memorized in Solandel's mind, and she had written them out completely.

Although legally speaking, the account books written by Solandelmer do not have any legal effect. After all, no one knows whether what she wrote is true or false.

But in fact, it doesn't matter whether it is true or false. Under the political system of Doguland, the king has great power, and royal power is greater than legal principles. As long as he has an excuse to explain to the outside world, he can take action.

On the day when the old investigation was restarted, the Guards used thunderous force to control the suspects in the palace. The follow-up investigation only lasted less than half a month. Eight princes who held important positions were dismissed one after another, and some were transferred.

Some were demoted to civilians in their original positions, and some were exiled as slaves.

The "Chancellor of Finance" Baldien van Dogruland, who served as the main culprit in the case, was directly sentenced to death. This was also the highest-level official that Perseus had dealt with since he took office.

In addition to the eight princes, many royal ministers were implicated. After these people were dismissed, some of their powers were taken over by Perseus himself, while others were taken over by newly promoted officials.

What is very subtle is that through the personnel transfer list, everyone discovered some commonalities.

Among the Guards Corps, the newly promoted mid-level and high-level generals are basically the soldiers who returned from the Frozen Fortress last year.

The ministers who filled the vacancies in the palace were either related to the soldiers of the Frozen Fortress, or they were close confidants trained by Perseus.

People with a keen political sense finally realized that Perseus was beginning to cleanse the complex factions within the palace and began to re-establish a new leadership team.

Those who were purged were basically people from the Bolton and Andre factions, and from the experience of subsequent personnel transfers, it is not difficult to see that the people employed were all people who had close connections with Solandel.

Last year, Solandel risked her life to bring the soldiers of the Frozen Fortress back to the interior. Regardless of their political leanings, these people and their relatives must be extremely grateful to her in their hearts. They were promoted to important positions, and for Solandel they were promoted to important positions.

It is undoubtedly an extremely powerful help for Randall.

The seeds staggered and buried in the ice and snow finally bloomed proudly this spring.

Everyone finally understood that Perseus was paving the way for Solandelle in advance.

Solandel is too young, only 15 years old this year, and has never cultivated her own influence. In terms of influence, she cannot compare with her two brothers. No matter how smart she is, without a foundation, she is destined to be unstable.

of.

In order to make up for this fatal weakness for Solandelle, Perseus had no choice but to take the initiative and use the royal power in his hands to weaken the two princes and create a group of capable ministers and generals for her to control in the future.

Whether Perseus is doing this to restructure the power among the three candidates and create a balanced competition, or he has decided that Solandel is the crown prince in his mind and wants to do his best to promote a queen, this kind of

The transfer is undoubtedly exciting news for Solandel and the supporters behind her.
