When friends met, the relaxed and happy atmosphere really fascinated Cohen. He kept chatting happily with everyone. It wasn't until dinner that he said goodbye to everyone and took Weisha back to the palace.
As always, the time after dinner is the most important gathering of the day for the royal family. This opportunity can be used not only to summarize and report the big and small events that happened that day, but also to communicate about what to do the next day. Plus Kaiser
Ms. Ling has always emphasized that the Keda family is not only a royal family, but also a complete family, and a complete family does not allow members to wander off during dinner... So His Majesty Cohen had to pay attention to dinner.
As soon as Weisha entered the harem, she broke up with Cohen. She had to go back to her room to change clothes, but His Majesty Cohen was immediately followed by two more followers - his secretary and the chamberlain.
"Before His Majesty returns to the palace, several more reports have been sent, so there is no need to rush to respond." The secretary seized the rare time at hand and reported to Cohen: "Several provinces have completed the census of residents, and preparations have been made at the border.
After making all preparations, we will begin to receive the first batch of aid supplies soon..."
"What do the internal affairs supervisors have to say about those provinces?" The restaurant was not far ahead. Cohen stopped and asked Lucy to come forward and tidy up her clothes.
"Yes, there is the opinion of the first internal affairs supervisor." The secretary has already remembered everything in his heart: "Since the statistics of each province are almost over, the Ministry of Interior must start preparing the next plan... Your Majesty, do you still remember us?
What’s your next plan?”
"Of course I remember." Cohen glanced at the clerk and changed the subject: "The aid supplies from various countries are coming soon, so hasn't the Cardinal Court of the Temple of Light responded to your letter yet?"
"Indeed there is no news yet." The secretary shook his head: "Your Majesty, is our request a little... abrupt?"
"Our request is very reasonable. Even if it is a bit... abrupt, it is still your responsibility. You must know that you wrote that letter." His Majesty Cohen walked to the door of the restaurant, turned around and said to the clerk with a smile: "It's just a little joke.
You go back and rest, don’t think too much, they will reply soon.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The miserable secretary sighed. It seems that he has not escaped the fate of being teased by the emperor today. Now he is becoming more and more accustomed to emergencies. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
In the restaurant, Ms. Kasseling was playing with the flower arrangements on the long table. Since becoming the mother of the emperor, this woman's entertainment has gradually decreased. Because of the change in status, too many hobbies are no longer suitable for her.
"Mom, I arrived on time!" Fortunately, her precious son has not changed, he is still the same as before: "Why isn't the Earl of Night Spirit here?"
"You're still talking about it! This joking ban can't be written into the order. You have to be more serious about dealing with alien races. Although some alien races have a good relationship with us, those tribesmen may not all understand you.
Kasseling looked at her son: "The leader of the vampire tribe still has things to do. He has left the Holy City and will come back in a few days."
"It's not easy to be a leader! You have to run around all day long." Cohen sighed: "But don't worry, Mom, I will solve that matter for the vampires."
"I knew you would take care of everything." Like most mothers, Kasseling could see through her son's thoughts at a glance: "Only in that way will you have an excuse to sneak away again."
"Mom, you don't want to say it even if you know it!" Cohen looked around, but fortunately there was no one else around: "This is my only way to relax, and besides, I'm not going out to enjoy the sights..."
"You feel relaxed after running out, but what about me?" Kasseling used her housekeeping magic weapon and pinched the emperor's ear with one hand: "Do you know how worried I am? Since you became the emperor, except for flower arranging,
I have nothing to do outside."
"Spare me, mom." Cohen showed a very cooperative look of pain: "I will be more careful."
"There's really nothing I can do to you." Of course Kasseling understood Cohen's little trick, and immediately let go: "I'm very happy to see you three children making great achievements, but I am your mother after all, no matter how old you are,
Worrying and fearing for you is my unchanging destiny."
"I will really be careful." Cohen sat next to his mother: "It won't be long before my mother's life will be so boring."
"What? Do you have a sweetheart again? You have grown up and made your own decisions, but with your energy, can you cope with it?"
"No, no, I have no such plan. Four wives are enough." Cohen sneered: "After the empire settles down, of course it will be peaceful. So I invited an outstanding lady to come to the Holy Capital.
I want her to form a large-scale song and dance troupe, and use this as a starting point to drive the prosperity of the entire empire."
Kasseling washed her hands aside and walked back to her seat to sit down: "What does this have to do with me?"
"I not only plan to let her perform in the empire, but also plan to let her go to other empires to promote the Sbia Empire's goodwill for peace." Cohen smiled: "And she is a foreigner. A special person like this must be
Only if you have a certain identity, the introducer who is new to the social circle must also consider it carefully..."
"Am I the introducer?" Kasseling asked calmly.
"Yes! If someone from a certain country dares to go against her, just based on her close relationship with her mother, I can lead the army to defeat them." Cohen approached his mother: "She is very beautiful! Such things are inevitable.
"
"Of course you can be an introducer, but this lady has to be what I want." As a mother, Katherine could not refuse Cohen's request: "Also, you have to promise me that you will not treat this lady as being harmed.
To start a war for no reason... It is already unfortunate to be a woman, and you cannot add to her suffering. This is a very cruel thing."
"Of course, I guarantee this, and you have to believe that your son will not do this." There were footsteps outside the door. His Majesty Cohen put away his playful expression and winked at his mother: "I also guarantee that she will meet up.
As you wish."
"Who agrees with whom?" Prince Weisu walked into the restaurant with his daughters-in-law and asked with a smile: "What is the emperor whispering?"
"That's the water tribe girl I talked about last time, Forna. Her singing voice is very beautiful." Cohen stood up, took the little Qinlun from Feilin's hand, and showed a caring smile to his wives: "She
I will be in the Holy City at the beginning of next month, and I just happened to tell my mother about it! I have some special arrangements for her."
Hearing that it was a "special arrangement", the concubines were a little stunned, but it was difficult to say anything in front of their parents. Feilin only replied lightly: "I have heard Miss Forna's singing for a long time, and we are all looking forward to it."
.”
After the words were spoken, Cohen realized that his statement was not very appropriate, but if he explained it now, it would make people even more suspicious, so he had to change the topic: "Sister Weisha looks really good in this outfit. She looks even more beautiful than she did during the day.
.”
"Thank you, brother Cohen." Weisha pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes flashing with wisdom, and she took over to help Cohen: "I am a vampire! Of course I am more energetic at night than during the day."
"Please take a seat, everyone! We have been tired for a whole day." Prince Weisu greeted everyone: "Today's dishes are very delicious."
During dinner, the concubines behaved in unison, and no one showed any jealousy. The spacious dining room was full of laughter. Seeing this situation, Prince Weisu and his wife exchanged a few glances, and each of them laughed secretly in his heart.
After the meal, the general liaison officer and the general staff officer went outside the hall together. The well-behaved Weisha knew that Cohen and others had something to discuss. In view of her current status, she first hugged Princess Qinlun and went outside to play. Weisha had already
Knowing that the little princess didn't want to stay away from Cohen, she sat on the promenade outside the restaurant and knitted a wreath.
"Come and sit!" Cohen waved to Marfa and Carlos: "Have you eaten?"
"We have all eaten, and Wen entertained us with a big meal." Mafa replied with a smile, handing over several large boxes that he had brought with him: "This was sent to my home by a jewelry merchant, because he had silver in his hand.
Viscount Yuehu’s business card, so I haven’t refused yet.”
Lucy came up and opened the four boxes one by one. Inside were several sets of jewelry, three of which Cohen had seen earlier today. Although everyone present was well-informed, they still showed their appreciation for these sets of jewelry.
.
"Yeah! That guy's pretty quick." Cohen nodded: "What else did he say to you? Please tell me everything."
"Yes, Your Majesty, he clearly asked me to be his backstage, and also gave me a set of exquisite jewelry." Mafa scratched her head: "There are also jewelry that he asked me to transfer to the three princes - Your Majesty, I am now
How to do?"
"It's easy to handle." Cohen laughed and said, "Just accept what's given to you, and forward what you want to forward."
Marfa blinked to make sure that Cohen was not joking, so she pushed the three boxes in front of Prince Wesseau.
"Should I accept it?" Prince Weisu looked at his son playfully and said with a smile: "As a rule, after accepting a gift, you have to do things for others!"
"My dear dad, although you never accept gifts, you have to give me the face of the general liaison officer! Besides, one set of jewelry is very suitable for my mother, and the remaining two sets of jewelry will also be needed by my brothers. I really don't want to let these
The jewelry fell into the hands of others." Cohen turned to the prince and said: "As for those things, I will naturally help you do it."
"In that case, I will accept it." Prince Weisu looked at the jewelry in front of him: "What other evil ideas do you have?"
"You are right, I arranged for the jeweler to send the gift because I accidentally discovered something." Cohen explained: "Look at these jewelry, do you find anything special?"
"In addition to the elegant design." Princess Wensili is particularly sensitive to magic items and has a relatively simple personality. She immediately said: "The gem is a high-quality, top-grade magic crystal, and it is not produced by our Sbia Empire."
Hearing what Wen Sili said, the others couldn't help but look seriously, and everyone was trying to figure out Cohen's intentions.
"Winslee is right, these are very special magic crystals." Cohen first praised his wife, and then looked around the audience: "If there is a war, especially in urban offensive and defensive battles, the best ones
Magic crystal will be a very scarce and precious resource, so we have strictly prohibited the outflow... But what about other empires! They are currently allowing these treasures to flow out of the country, which shows that the magic crystal resources they currently have in their hands
Quite impressive.”
"Then what?" When he heard that it was related to the military, the general staff officer seemed particularly enthusiastic.
"In the past, I only paid attention to letting myself own more magic crystals, but I never thought of using means to make other empires reduce their magic crystal possessions." When he got to the point, Cohen's tone was a little cold: "Fortunately, this jewelry merchant
He reminded me that even though it was unintentional, this contribution is not small, so I gave him a hand. He can do something else for us in the future."
The people sitting here considered the emperor's words carefully, but no one spoke for a while.
"In the event of a war, if used properly, such a magic crystal will indeed cause damage to a large number of soldiers." After a long time, Prince Weisu said: "Of course it is a good thing to make the opponent consume it, but what can you use?
How to do it? Although magic crystal is a precious consumable, various countries have a lot of it."
"Although the reserves are large, it is very difficult to mine them. Minerals that are as easy to mine as the dark forest are simply rare." Cohen replied: "Even if they are mined, it will be very difficult to process them to a usable standard."
It takes a lot of work, and if you are not careful, it will cause a sudden overflow of magic energy and cause a serious accident, so the production volume is limited. Everyone, am I right?"
"That's right, so before the war between gods and demons, all countries will pay attention to their reserves." Prince Weisu couldn't help but nodded: "But all countries are very careful in their use. Ordinary methods are not enough to mislead them, and usually, these things will directly
Rationing magicians. The consumption you proposed is easier said than done!"
"I am Cohen Keda." The smile on Cohen's face was definitely not cute: "I have the best wisdom in the world."
"You're not asking them to make magic crystals into jewelry, are you?" Princess Dill said, "They won't be that stupid."
"Of course they won't be that stupid, but if there is still circulation in the market, you have to spend a lot of money to buy it all, and it can't fall into the hands of others. This is also my ultimate goal of asking Marfa to be the backstage of the jewelry store," Cohen confirmed.
Dill's opinion: "As for the other magic crystals, I will let them take them out and use them. They will be eager to take them out and use them all!"
"Don't be so secretive, just tell me if you have any good ideas!"
"I will arrange a performance for the special envoys of each empire in the near future to show them the special weapons developed by the Sbia Empire for the next war between gods and demons." Cohen stood up, holding a wine glass in his hand: "See those weapons
, they will definitely be excited.”
"Weapon... magic crystal..." The general staff officer thought about Cohen's words and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Your Majesty, you don't want them to see that, right? That thing is still in the experimental stage, and it won't be big in the near future.
progress."
"That's it, my staff officer, you don't have to worry at all, you should also understand what presentation is..." Cohen laughed: "That is, we will show the greatest advantage of something to the most appropriate way.
They watch."
"Then what?" Felin also understood what Cohen said.
"Then! This matter will require our chief liaison officer to worry about it." Cohen walked to Mafa and his voice gradually lowered: "I need you to formulate a careful and stable plan to let them..."
"No problem." Mafa nodded: "I'm good at this kind of thing."
"In this case, we will implement the plan immediately." Cohen looked at the general staff officer: "Do you have anything difficult to solve?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general staff officer looked a little embarrassed: "Can I talk to Your Majesty alone?"
"About what?"
"The military's strategy for the next two years..."
"Go summon your deputies." Cohen said seriously: "We will meet in the confidential conference room in a quarter of an hour."
After Cohen and others left, several internal affairs supervisors suppressed their displeasure with their husbands, fulfilled their obligations as juniors, and talked softly to the prince and his wife about household matters, making the two elderly people happy. Feline and Dill looked happy.
It was as usual, but Wen Sili was obviously a little distracted. The most obvious one was Kelly, who had made several slips of the tongue. Although Katherine found this funny, she couldn't tell her what her son had told her.
"I have something to ask you." During the greetings, Prince Weisu sent the others away and said to his daughters-in-law: "It's a very important thing."
"Please give me your father's instructions." In such a situation, Feilin, as the first imperial concubine, would usually come forward to accept the request.
"Everyone knows that the origin of Crow is a bit strange, especially his appearance." The prince looked at Feline and said softly: "I know I should trust Cohen, but Crow is here to assassinate Cohen after all... Frankly speaking
,I am anxious."
"Yes, we are also worried. Has father talked to his husband?"
"We've talked about it twice, and Cohen's attitude is very firm, so we both came back in vain. He is the king of a country, and although I am his father, I still can't dwell too much on this issue, lest Cohen get angry.
So much so that there is no room for relaxation in the whole matter." Prince Weisu smiled bitterly and replied: "I see that your relationship with Cohen has become more and more harmonious recently, so I asked you to resolve this matter. Tonight's opportunity
good."
"Yes, father, let's go talk to my husband."
"You have to be more tactful." The prince warned: "If it were anything else, Cohen would give in. Cohen's attitude on this matter is very strange... If we really can't, we should at least learn more about the situation."
"Look what you said, you're scaring the children." Kasseling looked at her husband, then turned to the concubines and said, "Just don't be so tough on your attitude. Don't worry. If you still can't agree, I'll
