third chapter

On the day of the execution, all the relatives and subordinates captured with Lu Man were chopped alive. Only Lu Man continued to laugh on the altar, if that sound could still be called laughter.

Every once in a while, the officials supervising the execution would let him take a rest and let the magician rejuvenate him. But Luman, who used to be so majestic in the past, now has his will completely destroyed by the sheep's tongue, and he keeps begging the officials for help.

It was a pleasure. But the officials plugged their ears with things and seemed indifferent.

Because His Majesty the Emperor has said that he will make the rebellious Luman laugh for three days before he dies.

At the same time, because Lumann's laughter was so terrifying, all the representatives from various countries ran away shortly after the emperor left.

People say that Luman's laughter is like the wail of the devil, which becomes even more unbearable especially at night. The laughter keeps echoing in the quiet night sky, making everyone near the altar feel terrified.

Everyone can't sleep at night.

Fortunately, the palace had a brand new magic barrier, so the laughter could not be heard. However, the officials of all sizes found the Prime Minister the next day, hoping that the Prime Minister could come forward to persuade the emperor to end this man's life as soon as possible, so as not to disturb everyone's sleep.

Well, that kind of faint laughter sounds really uncomfortable!

The Prime Minister did not make any comment on this matter. In fact, he felt very relieved about Lu Man's death. Especially living in the palace, he always thought of his good friend...

"Be patient! It's only been two days." The Prime Minister said to the officials: "The emperor is rarely happy once. If he feels uncomfortable, the emperor will take it out on you."

The officials thought about it, wouldn't it be just three days? It would be over if they tolerated it.

In a secluded corner of the palace, the thick dungeon was violently opened, and the dazzling sunlight was projected from the huge door opening, instantly blinding the eyes of the only prisoner.

This man was fixed on an iron frame and could not avoid the light at all. He only turned his head slightly. The formerly gorgeous robes were covered with filth, the fine jewelry was long gone, and his pale cheeks were deeply sunken.

There is no aura in the pair of big eyes, and there is only a little numbness in the eyes. The only thing that can be seen is that this is a woman.

The guarding officer's voice sounded: "Take the traitor Lisa!"

The two soldiers turned the winch and pulled up the rebel princess with her body and iron frame, then removed the torture instruments and dragged her to the officer.

An elf came forward to carefully check the magic seal on her arm and confirmed Lisa's identity.

"She is right." The elf handed the order to the guarding officer, turned to Lisa and said, "Follow me."

Lisa lowered her head, did not answer the elf's words, and followed behind dragging her shaky body.

The group of people walked around the many pavilions in the palace and walked to the harem. Along the way, Lisa's tightly closed eyes gradually adapted to the sunlight, and she began to distinguish the scenery around her. The palace was no stranger to her, of course she knew

Where are you going?

If the execution was to be carried out, one should go out through the main entrance of the front palace or the side door of the harem, without passing through the royal courtyard of the harem. When she got here, someone would naturally want to see her, so who could this person be? People like Visu Keda seemed to

There is no need for this, and the rumored imperial concubines do not seem to have to demean themselves to meet a prisoner...

Cohen Keda must be Cohen Keda. Only he would appear as a winner at this time and use cruel methods to take pleasure in her.

Her dull eyes were full of wariness. Lisa looked herself up and down, was she a princess? She was worse than a beggar on the street!

Lisa's footsteps stopped by a fountain, and she spoke for the first time. Her voice was low but firm: "I want to freshen up."

As soon as she finished speaking, the soldier behind her pushed her on the back, and Lisa's weak body immediately fell to the ground.

"Don't make too many demands." The elf turned around gracefully: "Consider your current status."

"I want to freshen up." Lisa raised her head, a bright red blood stain hung on her forehead, and replied calmly: "I am a woman, and I want to freshen up."

The elf turned her head and said nothing. Lisa moved step by step to the fountain, carefully cleaning her appearance in front of the rippling water. She tore off the entire lace of her tattered robe, and then washed her long and scattered hair.

She had her hair tied up in a regular women's hairstyle and fixed with a piece of slightly clean lace.

When she took another step, Lisa seemed to be in much better spirits. Although she was a little out of breath, she still insisted on walking to her destination, a small and unique house in the harem.

"Report to Captain Rock, bring the prisoner Lisa to you." The elf stopped and reported to a tall orc officer.

The orc nodded and led Lisa into the room.

Through the two layers of carefully set window screens, the dazzling sunlight becomes very soft, and there is a gentle breeze blowing around. The summer heat is obediently restrained in this building.

Following the sky-blue carpet, Lisa walked to the middle of the room, and after stopping, she raised her head slightly. At the top of the carpet, there was a man standing with his back to her, with a silver-white cloak covering most of his body.

The long black hair is tied up and hangs down from the carefully embroidered stand-up collar to the cloak, with strong color contrast.

"Sir, she's here."

Cohen Keda raised his hand and waved lightly at his side, and the guards in the room immediately retreated. Then he turned around and enveloped Lisa with his majestic gaze.

The two people were ten steps apart.

In Lisa's opinion, the man in front of her was no longer comparable to the Cohen Keda in her memory. The child who was so simple and idiotic could no longer be compared with him.

His eyes now contained many things that he didn't understand. Although he didn't speak, a majestic aura spread from all parts of his body, almost making Lisa dare not look directly at him.

Lisa's face regained some color, and her expression was neither miserable nor unruly. Although the clothes she wore were very tattered, everyone could see that she had done her best to clean up. If it weren't for those few

The water droplets dripping down the hair and onto the carpet, others must think that this is a young woman from an ordinary family rather than a prisoner.

After a moment of silence, Lisa bent over and bowed to Cohen as a court lady.

Cohen looked at this familiar stranger quietly, looking at the face that had not changed much. He couldn't help but have thoughts in his heart, and his mind was in a trance. He seemed to be back to his youth again... Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, he was that young man back then.

I never thought that one day two people would meet in such a situation.

It was because of this woman that he entered the Holy Capital for the first time, and a series of things happened after that. If it hadn't been for her, he wouldn't have been injured, let alone get to know Fichet... After so many years of turbulent experience, maybe he wouldn't have been able to...

It will happen. Speaking of which, it should be this person who changes his life.

When I think of Fichet, I can't help but think of the first time I met him. Two ignorant teenagers met on a grassland. At that time, he lifted up his face guard with one hand, revealing his delicate face, and pointed towards him with the other hand.

He stretched himself out, with a sincere smile on his face. There was a pure blue sky behind him, with a few white clouds floating lazily, but he was half dead.

"I know you, you are Cohen Kedar."

Instantly, that smiling face against the blue sky and white clouds appeared in my mind.

Cohen even felt that as soon as he walked out of the room, he would see Fichet leaning on the pillar, and he would give him a faint smile and say: "How was the meeting with that person?"

His smile will be a little narrow, and his eyes will be a little gloating and expectant. When mixed together, it will make people want to punch him.

When you walk out of this room, will such a thing really happen? On the one hand, he is deceiving himself, and on the other hand, he is trying his best to convince himself with the facts. Cohen's thoughts are not on Lisa at all...

"Good day." She said a greeting in a slightly hoarse voice, and Lisa clasped her hands in front of her, looking straight at the man who almost became her husband.

"There is something I want to tell you. Your father is being executed on the altar." Cohen kept a cold expression on his face: "This process is relatively long. It may take two days. Your husband will be there with you."

To be tortured.”

"I know." Lisa didn't show any sadness or panic: "So when will my execution be carried out?"

"You seem to be in a hurry to die." Cohen took a step forward, but looked out the window: "Your father begged me to let you go before he was executed. Didn't you feel anything at all?"

"What do you think is the right way for me to feel at this moment?" Lisa replied calmly: "In your mind, I am no longer a normal person, right? After all, I once caused you to be seriously injured and endangered.

Death, it would be a strange thing if you spared me. Since death is inevitable, why would I bother to express my feelings based on your words?"

Hearing Lisa mention this incident, Cohen didn't feel angry in his heart. He only thought of the series of events that happened after the injury and the meeting with Fichet... It seemed as if he was on that grassland again, and the dense sounds seemed to be ringing in his ears.

There was the sound of horse hooves, Fichet's cavalry were approaching from behind with shouts, and in the gentle breeze around them, there was the fresh fragrance of wild grass.

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. I haven't seen you for a few years, and your skills have become more profound." Cohen answered casually.

Lisa stared at the side of Cohen's face, and found that the sharpness in the man's eyes had disappeared, and the previous threatening aura had been replaced by a gentleness: "You're welcome, I didn't rack my brains to survive, and I didn't

Don't regret the past... If you give me another chance, I will still stab that dagger into your lower back."

"Okay." Cohen took off a dagger from his waist and threw it in front of Lisa: "I'll give you this chance."

The sheathed dagger bounced twice on the carpet, and finally came to rest at Lisa's feet. The inlaid gems reflected a few fragments of cold light, which shone on her shoes. Lisa's eyes stayed at her feet,

It hasn't moved for a long time.

"I thought you had become smarter, but it turns out you haven't made much progress." Cohen said sarcastic words, but his expression did not change at all: "As soon as you entered the door, you were deliberately struggling for your life, and you said that knife

, but also wanted me to remember the past, hoping to have half a chance of surviving..."

"It's up to you whether you let me live or not!" Lisa suddenly raised her head: "I have nothing to say to you! What do you mean by calling me here? If you want to humiliate me, please do so!

I hope you can get used to seeing this ruined body!"

"Really? I understand." Cohen put his hands behind his back, nodded slightly and said, "Your fate will be decided by the internal affairs officer, get out."

"I don't ask for anything. If you want me to die, please at least allow me to change my clothes." Lisa combed her hair, made another ladylike salute to Cohen, and then turned and walked towards the door.

Lisa stepped out of the room, the two doors slowly closed, and with a soft "click" sound, the door lock clicked.

Cohen kept staring at the dagger on the carpet, his face uncertain.

Thinking of himself back then, Cohen couldn't help but smile. He bent down to pick up the dagger and sat on a chair nearby.

At that time, he and the prince lying on the carriage together must have been fools in the eyes of others, right? With half-dead serious injuries, he still kept sketching out his dreams for the future. Fichet's ideal was to do

A good emperor, right?

Although when he talks about this, he acts a little helpless, and his innocent expression is often made fun of by himself. As for Fichet! He usually asks to travel around the world with him, and he always has so many reasons...

This time really flies by so fast, as if in the blink of an eye, everything has changed, everything has changed. Something happened to Fichet's family, but he! He has replaced Fichet as the leader of the country.

Jun.

Thinking of what happened next, Cohen's face gradually turned cold.

If, if there is another chance, I will do my best to save it all, no matter what the cost. If you don't have friends to share it with, so what if you become famous all over the world? What if you win the mainland?

But now there seems to be no such chance... At this moment, Fichet is sleeping in the ice crystal, but he is standing here in a royal dress, managing this bullshit country.

This is a fact, a fact as cold and hard as iron. It pressed heavily against his chest and back, leaving Cohen breathless. A fact that cannot be shaken by himself... If these things cannot be changed, what will happen to the world?

Use! This continent cannot be compared with the lives of our friends.

The projection of sunlight on the carpet slowly moved, and the light spots changed shapes, swallowing up colorful patterns one after another, and finally crawled to Cohen's feet. Cohen, who was deep in thought, did not notice it, but his face became more and more ugly.

, his eyes are sometimes lonely and sometimes melancholy.

A glass of red wine was handed to Cohen. Cohen came back from his endless thoughts, followed the hand holding the wine glass, and his slightly confused eyes passed over the white arm, and finally stopped on Feline's face.

"Drink some!" Feilin put down the glass with a smile and sat next to him: "Look, you have been sitting there for a long time. If you feel bored, you can talk to us!"

Cohen smiled apologetically at his wife and took the wine glass: "I want to think of something."

"Is there anything difficult to decide?" Feilin said softly: "If you can, just tell me!"

"It's not difficult to say." With the wine glass on his chest, Cohen looked out the door: "You should have seen the woman outside the door, right?"

"You see, she is Lisa! We have met before."

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"It seems that you can't say please to your wife, right?" Feilin smiled slightly: "Husband, please tell me, I will try my best to handle it."

"That woman outside the door, help me deal with it!" Cohen stood up and sighed: "No matter what the outcome is, just don't let me know."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Cohen nodded: "I'm going to relax, the air is too dull."

After a while, an officer carried a wooden barrel to the altar of the Holy City. Several soldiers poured all the weird little crawlers in the barrel into Luman's mouth... Almost immediately, Luman let out a miserable howl.

It was more than an octave higher, so that all the people and animals within three miles around the altar were gone.

This mixture of sounds that humans can make suddenly stopped after lasting for half an hour, and Luman's body was immediately wrapped in layers of magic and transported away.

And here is His Majesty the Emperor at this time! He is using this rare free time to get familiar with his new home. In such a large palace, it is easy to get lost if you don't know the way carefully, and His Majesty Cohen, who has a weird personality, never likes to follow behind.

A long line of waiters.

The Holy Capital Palace has a history of more than 400 years. In addition, there have been several pleasure-loving emperors in the history of the Xia Mai family, so the palace has also undergone several large-scale expansions, among which the most extravagant one.

In the middle, the wall expanded outward to cover an entire city area.

In recent generations, the emperors have been open-minded and upright, and the palace has not been expanded except for daily maintenance. However, there are already many various buildings in the palace. As a residence for managing the country and the royal family, the function of the palace is fully capable of fulfilling its responsibilities.

mission.

In the past few days, His Majesty Cohen and Bai Ying, together with a large group of magicians, have built more than a dozen magic circles, large and small, inside and outside the palace. They have also delineated the defensive areas of the various units of the Guards in more detail to ensure the safety of the palace.

Nothing goes wrong.

At the suggestion of the Internal Affairs Supervisor and the Minister of State, His Majesty Cohen re-divided various parts of the palace, and even the offices of the heads of the Internal Affairs and Military Ministries were moved into the palace.

The huge square in front of the palace has been stripped of all unnecessary decorations and is used to hold military parades, festival celebrations or public gatherings.

The main entrance of the palace has been repaired, the palace walls are much higher than before, and the defenses have been reorganized. The moat surrounding the palace is being widened. In addition to the original six towers, two new towers have been built on the palace wall, plus the main palace.

Two, two in the harem, and a total of twelve towering spiers above the imperial city.

Entering the main entrance is a medium-sized square. At the request of the Prime Minister, this square remains the same, nothing has been changed, and is specially used for holding royal celebrations. The huge building behind the square is the former parliament building, which is five stories high and is entirely painted in white.

Stone is used as the exterior wall, each floor is equipped with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and jade fences, and the roof is a huge dome with a dignified style.

The whole building looks magnificent. It was the place where the empire held various meetings and the emperor met with officials from various places. Royal balls were also held on the first floor here.

On the left side of the square is the Military Office, and on the right is the Internal Affairs Office, which handle their respective affairs and have exclusive conference rooms and reference rooms. In addition to these, there are also two Guards stations and a palace guard station. These buildings have the same

It forms the front palace of the palace, all under the protection of the magic circle.

Going backwards and past a heavily defended palace wall is the main palace, which is the most important location in the entire empire.

At the center of the main palace is the tallest building in the Holy Capital - the nine-story Royal Assembly Building. The architectural style of this building is different from that of the previous Assembly Building, with stained glass floor-to-ceiling windows and huge figures inlaid with various gemstones.

It highlights the splendor of the royal family.

The vast square in front of the building, the high pedestal downstairs, and the long royal road are all made of large pieces of jade. The platform of the meeting building alone is higher than an ordinary three-story building.

The roof of the building is composed of five large spiers, and under the spiers is the emperor's private hanging garden.

The first floor is the palace hall, which has a huge space and can accommodate thousands of people at the same time without being crowded. It is also the most majestic hall in the imperial city.

The interior decoration is mainly silver, and the floor is covered with finely woven wool carpets. The surrounding walls are full of reliefs with themes from myths and legends. Hundreds of unique sterling silver lamp holders hang from the roof, creating a soft magic.

The lights stayed on day and night, illuminating the entire hall so that everything could be seen.

Each floor above is the emperor's private office area. Except for members of the royal family and the most core officials, no one can enter without special permission.

The palace hall is the place where the emperor holds court meetings. According to the regulations of His Majesty Cohen, every three days, major ministers from various ministries will gather here to see the emperor. Ordinary officials are not even qualified to approach this building.

There are about two hundred rooms on the upper floors. His Majesty Cohen assigned the floors with platform gardens upstairs to the Prime Minister and the four internal affairs supervisors, allowing them to have a place to handle official business beside him. He only left the highest

The first floor serves as a private space.

After the Royal Assembly Building, there are two larger symmetrical buildings along the central line of the Imperial City. The one on the left is the Royal Archives and the one on the right is the Imperial Study Room.

In the buildings that extend outwards, on the left are the offices of various intelligence systems, and on the right are the offices of the Internal Affairs Supervision Office, the Foreign Leaders and the Ministry of Justice. Near the palace wall, a large number of Guards are stationed, and they have complete facilities available.

, there is also a special martial arts performance field.

The front palace and the main palace are guarded by the Guards and are completely military-style management. There is not a single chamberlain in these places, let alone a maid. Of course, the white shadow beside His Majesty Cohen and the chamberlains of various royal family members are not.

Forget it, the female magician responsible for defense is not included.

Behind the main palace is the harem where the royal family lives. The harem is huge, accounting for half of the entire imperial city. The architecture and design cannot be described with just the word exquisite. Think about it, the Sibia Empire has always been rich, and the palace

Of course, the construction was meticulous, and various materials were used without restrictions. Emperors of all generations personally supervised the construction.

In the empire, the best architects of every generation dream of one day showing off their skills here. Even if we were to select the top ten most exquisite architectural complexes in the entire Bis continent, this harem would be among the top five.

There are a total of three imperial gardens, five artificial lakes of different sizes, a martial arts arena, a racecourse, more than 30 buildings of different styles, and countless pavilions and pavilions built according to the situation... The royal family

Other members of the family lived on the right side, while the emperor and his concubines and children lived on the left side. Each area was clearly separated and could not be crossed.

It was this harem with beautiful scenery, surrounded by red and green trees everywhere, that troubled Cohen. In fact, there was no other reason. He just felt that the roads here were too complicated. Unlike the front palace, the roads in the main palace were so horizontal and vertical.

, clear at a glance.

According to the suggestions of the internal affairs supervisors, a new building is being built in the square outside the Harem Palace for scholars to exchange meetings. However, the emperor himself also showed rare attention to this land and personally participated in it.

design.

The officials did not express any objection to this matter. In fact, they were mentally prepared for the large-scale destruction of the Holy City before the war and had raised a large amount of construction funds in advance. However, the damage to the Holy City battle commanded by the emperor was very small.

If this money is saved, compared with this small expense, it is nothing. As long as it can make the emperor happy, just let him go.

On the second day of Luman's execution, His Majesty the Emperor's mother Katherine Hager held a simple but grand ceremony in the Imperial Garden to pay homage to the late emperor and his wife. Prince Visu Kedar accompanied his wife, and the other two

The princes also participated. However, His Majesty the Emperor insisted not to participate, and in the end he just stood far away and watched the ceremony.

Cohen has always felt guilty about the late Emperor Creamer and his wife, and he did not want to get too close, because such a scene would bring up the tragic past that was deeply buried in his heart.

In fact, being farther away cannot avoid such a situation, but "the further away you are, the less harm you will suffer." Cohen's naive character believes this, and he has received firm support from another tough character. But outsiders

It seems that this is the strange thing about His Majesty the Emperor.

Falling under the demonic magic of the little demon princess, the two personalities in Cohen's body were torn apart. It is precisely because of this that Cohen barely escaped the fate of being demonized.

After meeting Marshmello last time, Cohen was stimulated by the good news. The two personalities in his body were merging at a very fast speed. The two personalities were freed from the situation of opposites and mutual suppression, and they compensated for each other's weaknesses.

defects and move towards a consistent goal.

After the ceremony, Cohen went to see Fichet as usual. In his mind, Fichet was a living person, and it just depended on when he could wake him up.

Although the whole person was wrapped in a huge magic crystal, Fichet still had a faint smile on his face. Cohen could never guess his smile... Under such circumstances, what else is funny about Fichet

?

When His Majesty Cohen walked out of the room, a chamberlain delivering the news was already waiting outside the cordon, looking anxious.

"What happened?" Cohen walked over and asked slowly.

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the special envoy sent by the Guangming Divine Clan is here. The Prime Minister of the State invites you to the front meeting building."

"Messenger of the Gods? Did he come too soon?" Cohen wondered: "Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know the details."

Cohen waved off the chamberlain and asked someone to bring the horse over. In such a large imperial city, there is a long distance between the harem and the front meeting building. How can you walk on two legs without getting tired?

Riding a little crow, Cohen followed the special passage to the front palace, then passed through the military headquarters. Finally, he dismounted outside the lounge next to the front parliament building and climbed to the top of the parliament building surrounded by several officials.

When the guard at the door announced loudly, the Prime Minister and the divine envoy who had been waiting for a long time stood up and turned to look at the door.

After occupying the palace, His Majesty Cohen returned to his old appearance and began to wear full-body armor again. He stood at the door, flipped up the helmet visor with his fingers, exposed his face, and looked at the short protoss envoy with arrogant eyes.

"I have met His Majesty the Emperor." The so-called messenger of the Gods is just an old temple priest. He was bending down to salute: "I was sent by the Light Gods to deliver a message to the great Gods."

After communicating with his father with eyes, Cohen decided to treat him politely and said: "Since you are the envoy of the great God Clan, there is no need to salute. Please sit down and talk!"

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Cohen never liked talking in circles, and immediately asked after sitting down: "I wonder what instructions the priest brought this time from the Gods? You must know that the Sbia Empire has just recovered, and the people are in urgent need of guidance from the Gods. Our instructions to the Gods have been

It’s because I’m so desperate.”

"Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, I have brought good news." The priest arranged his robe and ribbon: "Let me introduce myself first. I am the first cardinal priest of the Paradise Island Temple, and my status is only lower than that of the red priest."

"Then what?" Cohen replied casually.

In fact, our Majesty, who seems to be an idiot in some aspects, does not even know the difference between a cardinal priest and a red priest.

"From the current point of view, the Gods believe that the three red priests of the temple are not suitable to come forward. In fact, the red chief priest has been imprisoned." The first cardinal priest explained with a smile: "After our investigation, the red chief priest

It is true that we participated in the civil strife in Sbia, so everyone in the temple feels guilty for this rebellion. Please also ask your majesty to be more considerate of us. After all, there are still many innocent people in the temple."

"Of course, of course." Cohen said noncommittally: "There will be a day when things will be revealed to the world. It depends on whether the people can wait until this day comes."

"It seems that His Majesty the Emperor still has some complaints, but that is not important." The cardinal priest smiled magnanimously: "Let's talk about business! The Light God Clan has agreed to your proposal to punish the Sbia Temple. But there is one condition. You

You cannot do it yourself, the guilt of these priests will be determined by the Paradise Island Temple, and we will send special personnel to punish them."

"Punishment by the temple?" Cohen quickly analyzed in his head: "In other words, the temple has the right to sentence these priests who have committed heinous crimes not guilty, or even let them go?"

"Theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible as your Majesty said." The cardinal priest continued: "But please pay attention to your Majesty. The main premise now is that both the Light God Clan and the Paradise Island Temple have found them guilty, and sent people

Naturally, we will not let them go. This is just a determination of the scope of authority. After all, these people are not secular officials, and the matter is not serious, but it is related to the dignity of the temple."

"According to your opinion, the Paradise Island Temple has already predetermined the level of punishment?" His Majesty Cohen looked at the priest in front of him without even turning his eyes: "For the sake of my inner peace, please reveal something first!"

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are really good at embarrassing people." The cardinal said with a wry smile: "I don't want to deceive you. In fact, I do know the final decision to deal with them, but at the same time, I cannot leak it in advance..."

After a period of silence, the three people sitting there all smiled.

"You are a smart priest. Putting aside other things, I personally have a very good impression of you." Cohen stood up with a smile, took off his helmet, and took a few glasses of red wine and handed them to the prime minister and the priest: "For

Let's drink to these friendly conversations."

"Being able to gain His Majesty's understanding is the biggest gain of my trip." The cardinal priest was very good at doing things and immediately tried to please Cohen: "In addition, I also want to know when His Majesty's enthronement ceremony will be held."

"This is a serious ceremony that cannot be held in a hurry, so we decided to hold it in two months." The Prime Minister approached with a wine glass: "We hope you will come to participate."

"I'll try my best! Recently affected by the civil strife in Sbia, the temple is also very busy. I will report the situation here truthfully. It is estimated that the envoy sent will arrive a few days before the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor." Cardinal Priest.

He said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave now. The guards are still waiting for me outside the city."

"The matter has come to an end. Thank you for your hard work. If there are any rudenesses, please make up for it next time..." The Prime Minister said politely and sent the cardinal priest out of the room, and then arranged for people to send him out of the city.

When he turned around, the Prime Minister had a solemn look on his face.

"After serving as an official for decades, the Guangming God Clan's attitude towards the empire has never been as ambiguous as it is today." When Cohen asked, the Prime Minister replied: "In the past, whether it was the Guangming God Clan or the Paradise Island Temple, their answers have never been as ambiguous as they are today."

They are all categorical and unequivocal. But this time the answer always makes people feel that the attitude is not so firm!"

"Is there some kind of conspiracy?" Cohen said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's such a mess now, why is there any need for a conspiracy? At most, it's just that he's unhappy with me."

"You are the emperor now, so of course you will not easily plot against you." The Prime Minister sighed: "However, they can vent their dissatisfaction with you on ordinary people. Take my advice and temper your anger a little.

Look, your sharpness is used to kill the enemy, not to make the enemy take precautions."

"Understood." Cohen nodded in agreement: "I will play my role wholeheartedly - a big madman."

"It's like this again. Who allowed you to be playful and smiling in the palace?"

Cohen was scolded by his father, but he didn't care. He smiled and asked about the current situation in each province.

"As of today, two provincial governors have sent letters of repentance and publicly announced their attachment to us." The Prime Minister smiled slightly: "Now that the Cardinal Priest of Paradise Island has come, we have been recognized by the Guangming God Clan, and the rest

The governors of those provinces will receive letters in a very short time."

"I want them to come to the coronation ceremony. Father, you can appease them." Cohen sat down by the window: "By the way, Dad, you said before that you have a way to replace them."

The Prime Minister smiled and nodded.

"So. Two years - no, one and a half years is okay?" Cohen's eyes sparkled.

"One year is enough, as long as our chief justice knows how to cooperate." The Prime Minister nodded: "Officials from the old factions of the empire! None of them are clean, and no one of them is guilty of dirty things.

Come on, one year is enough time for the justice to have ironclad evidence."

"Okay, I will provide the chancellor with the opportunity to become famous in the world." Cohen almost laughed out loud: "Then I will go to the general staff and tell him to prepare to send troops to these provinces."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" the Prime Minister turned around and asked.

"I have nothing to do but I'm so busy!" Cohen's voice came from the stairs. (To be continued)
