Chapter two(1/2)
After the first song, he danced another song with his mother and the three imperial concubines. The emperor's obligations at this dance were fulfilled.
Of course, Cohen can still dance with other girls, but that would really make others unable to let go. No matter how strong Cohen's ability is, once he leaves the special environment of the military, the distance between him and his subordinates will no longer matter.
It can't be eliminated no matter what.
Therefore, Cohen promptly chose to fade out of the ball scene, picked up the little princess Qinlun, and walked among the ministers and nobles. He kept praising the minister for his undiminished style, and wished that the nobleman would fill the hall with children and grandchildren and bring everyone together.
I was so moved. Being able to interview the kind and gentle emperor was what everyone had been looking forward to. It didn't need to involve any actual matters. The feeling of trust and harmony carried by the scene itself was very beneficial to each other and the empire.
Besides, no one stipulates that state affairs cannot be discussed at the royal ball. What royal affairs are not state affairs? The three royal concubines, plus the Prime Minister and his wife, stood in various places in the square, and in a seemingly normal manner, they discussed their respective affairs.
Arrange it carefully.
Of course, Cohen also needs to be careful not to be troubled by a certain dean. Fortunately, the Prime Minister has already made arrangements. The dean's wife is in a very high mood today and pulls the dean to dance one song after another. Although the dean wants to talk to the emperor,
, but his wife’s fate could not be violated, so he had no choice but to spin this old bone in a corner of the square.
When the sky gets darker, the waiters will serve delicious food for the guests to enjoy, and open various scenic spots for people to enjoy. Under the afterglow of the sunset, young men and women in twos and threes are dotted among the mountains and rivers, which actually complement each other. At this time, the lonely people are like
It will be very conspicuous.
"Mr. Glens!" Cohen, who was standing at a high place, spotted the man standing by the small pool in a daze at a glance: "Come on."
Glens, whose name was called, turned around and saw the emperor waving to him. He quickly took three steps and then two steps up to the "rockery" in the harem, which cost a lot of money and could almost look like a real thing. He passed through the rows of closely guarded nearby buildings.
Wei, came behind Cohen.
"Stop standing at attention and walk with me casually." Cohen, who was holding the little princess, waved his hand and motioned for Glens to walk side by side with him: "What's wrong? Isn't this dance agreeable? Or are the ladies from Sbia scaring you?
Already?"
"To report back to Your Majesty, this dance was very good. The ladies were beautiful, dignified, and generous." Glens's answer was as cautious as ever: "It's just that the general's interest is not too high. It's a sin to worry Your Majesty."
After hearing this answer, Cohen laughed and picked up Princess Qinlun: "Qinlun, what do you think of General Glens's words?"
Little Princess Qinlun looked at Glens who was looking embarrassed, shook her head and said, "It's not a lie, nor is it the truth."
"Let's see, Qing Glens, the little princess will judge whether your words are true or not." Cohen turned around: "Of course, there is a reason for you to say such things, but you can't face me? Or can't you?
To myself?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me..." Faced with this emperor who frequently changed his self-identity, Glens could not cope with it no matter how quick his thinking was. He opened his mouth, but fell silent underneath.
"No one wants to ask you about your crime. You treat me as the emperor on my first day? It's just a walk and a chat." Cohen didn't stop, nor did he stop talking: "It's certainly a good thing that you can open your heart.
You can’t force it if you don’t have to bear the burden, right?”
"Your Majesty is wise." Glens bowed his head, which made Cohen angry and funny. Now, the emperor's stubborn temper also rose.
"Sir Glens, let's bring up some old stories. Have you ever thought about why you and your Youshui Army were able to achieve great feats when Sibia attacked today?" When Cohen said this,
Already taking Glens to the bottom of the rockery.
Glens did not notice the special direction in which he was traveling, but the path behind him was blocked by a group of guards. The two people who had been paying attention to this meeting were also sealed outside, except for Glenns's mother and partner.
Looking at each other, we can only be anxious.
The war is over, it's a good time to put down the work and kill the donkey.
"It is because of His Majesty's choice that Scindia will become my adjutant." Glens gave a positive answer to Cohen's question.
"Yes, because I chose you." Cohen nodded and said: "The reason why I chose you is to let you put on a good show according to the script I wrote, and first become a great hero, and then completely
Defeat to the Sibiya army, thereby achieving the goal of disintegrating the morale of the Welsh Empire's military and people. This is competition between countries, with conspiracy after conspiracy and ruthlessness. Whoever you pick will be the winner."
"You will eventually understand." Glens has thought about this question thousands of times, and there is nothing he doesn't understand.
"But, Sir Glens, have you ever thought about why after this incident, instead of being suppressed, you still had the opportunity to lead the army in combat? Do you think that demotion by one rank will really make me change my mind? That's nothing.
It's just to remind you to make progress." Cohen stopped, sat on a set of stone tables beside the path, and motioned for Glens to sit down as well: "Your mother is indeed very courageous and wise, but with these two points
, she cannot yet become the first female count of the Sbia Empire."
"I don't know what is going on, please let your Majesty make it clear!" Glens, who had just sat down, stood up straight again. In fact, what the emperor was asking now was also a question that had been troubling Glens himself.
"It is a sad thing to be selected as a chess piece. But I have to say, Mr. Glens, it is your efforts and growth that have allowed you to get rid of the situation of a chess piece." Cohen said with a normal expression: "You are here today.
His ability is no longer the same as when he was selected..."
"You have become a qualified general in a short period of time, and have some qualities that the current generals in Sibia do not have. The empire needs you in its entirety more than ten chess pieces. This is what forces me to use you.
The reason is also the cruelty of reality." Cohen held out a finger: "This is the first reason, the empire's considerations."
Glens looked back at Cohen in silence. As far as he knew, no emperor would be so straightforward.
"Power doesn't mean everything, but without power, you can't even save your life. From a certain point of view, just like me, Lord Glens also has the ability to actively change his destiny. Therefore, I do not regard you as a surrendered general.
I will put you in my own camp to train you and put you in the right position at the right time." Cohen smiled: "This is the second reason. I like people around me to have the same characteristics and personality as me.
"
Glens's face changed and he hesitated to speak.
"Your mother is as valuable as her son, and the Youshui Army was saved only because of you as its commander. On this point, you don't have to belittle yourself. Since I have used you, I don't worry about your loyalty." Cohen looked at it.
Glens glanced at him and smiled: "What do you think of Ulysses in terms of pure ability? But he has not taken the initiative to change his destiny, so he has no chance in this life... Although in my hands, he
There are no tricks to play either."
"General... thank you Your Majesty!" As if he had just run ten laps of the school field, Glens's chest heaved violently, and then he said tentatively: "Then..."
"Don't even think about it!" The emperor knew what Glens was going to say as soon as he saw the look on his face, and decisively interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Major General Cynthia Kenta will partner with you for a lifetime. You two are one and the same."
As a complementary whole, no one can leave the other behind. Therefore, I suggest you learn how to get along with your colleagues."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Glens lowered his head.
"Just be happy secretly." The smile on the emperor's face was obviously mischievous: "If Scindia is a woman, I will marry him to you. From this perspective, you are very lucky.
.”
Major General Glens, who was considered to be a strong-willed man, couldn't help but tremble in his calves after hearing these words.
Fortunately, Cohen did not dwell too much on this issue: "So, after listening to my words, can Sir Glenn now find a sense of belonging in the Sibia Empire and this palace?"
The ups and downs were rolling in his heart at the same time. Glens nodded: "General... I will try my best!"
"Okay, I won't force you. The sense of belonging is something you can't just have." Cohen nodded generously: "This place is actually a forbidden area. I will ask the little princess Qinlun to take you out. Now
, can you go to the corner and wait for a while?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hearing that it was a forbidden area, Glens didn't even bother to look around. He quickly stood up and saluted Cohen, then trotted to the designated position and stood upright.
"Lovely Qin Lun." Cohen chuckled and said to the beautiful girl: "Can I ask you some information?"
Princess Qinlun jumped down to the ground, stretched out her hands excitedly, and spread her ten fingers in front of Cohen's eyes.
"Is the price too high?" Cohen pretended to be pitiful: "Five, just five stories."
Princess Qinlun rolled her eyes cooperatively, and then nodded seriously.
Cohen leaned over with a smirk on his face and asked in a low voice: "Does Cynthia Kenta have any unmarried sisters?"
"Three." After being corrected by several princesses, the little princess now speaks much more fluently: "One cousin and two sisters."
"Add another story." Cohen offered a price and worked with the little princess to plan an unknown plan: "You will bring Glens to them later and create some small accidents to make them have some interesting experiences.
Is the entanglement with us okay?"
I don’t know whether it was because of her character being influenced by Cohen or because of her inertia of obeying Cohen’s words. The little princess nodded happily. But the poor Major General Glens was still standing in a standard military posture at the corner of the path, completely unaware of the trap.
It's already coming.
Seeing Princess Qinlun walking out with Glens, Cohen knew that he no longer needed to worry about this matter. Perhaps it was difficult for other princesses to operate such a thing, but the little princess and her playmate maid
They can accomplish everything by relying on their own abilities - while caring for Qin Lun, who experienced ups and downs in her early years, the Prime Minister and the Imperial Concubines also increased their education in all aspects of her education, and also focused on planning and execution.
nourish.
When Princess Qinlun pulled Glens to appear on the rockery, not only did the two people waiting outside put down their hearts, but also made Glens the center of attention - Princess Qinlun had also pulled people outside the royal family before.
However, the number will not exceed five, and all of them are very close to the emperor. Based on this alone, no one can underestimate Major General Glens.
"Your Majesty." At the same time, an intelligence officer came to Cohen on the trail: "They started taking action."
"Ah, life is really not easy to be lonely." Cohen nodded and did not open the document immediately: "Who are there?"
"On the divine side, Bansai, led by the Omatu people, and representatives of prominent nobles from other empires, are located on a boat sixty miles outside the Holy Capital." The intelligence officer replied: "The founder of the demonic side is Blue.
The Croat Empire and the Erina Empire have various negotiation locations. In addition, both sides have sent people to contact some nobles and ministers of our country."
"How is the effect?" the emperor asked softly.
The intelligence officer replied: "The ministers and nobles who were contacted reported the contents of the conversation and the property received."
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Cohen opened the document and couldn't help laughing after reading two pages: "Rock!"
"Arrived!" A strong response sounded not far away.
"Send someone to ask Princess Dill to change into civilian clothes!" Cohen ordered: "Go out of the palace!"
"Yes!" The leaving footsteps came back again: "When Princess Kaili asks where she is going, how will she answer?"
"Ah, Princess Kelly likes to ask questions." Cohen stood up: "Just answer visiting a brothel!"
