What really matters is not what we hope for life, but what life hopes of us. We should not continue to ask about the meaning of life, and the person himself is always receiving the questions of life. In the face of this question, we should not answer by words and contemplation, but by right actions and actions.

—Victor Frank (Professor of Psychosology and Psychoanalysis)

The recovery of the province of Mengdan was a great thing for all the imperial magnates, especially for the supreme Charlemagne, the successive recovery of the fallen provinces greatly enhanced his personal prestige.

Leaving aside the unclear key to the Empire's common people, even the flattery of the envoys of many neighboring countries, it was enough to make Charlemagne, who was annoyed by the war on two fronts, smile with satisfaction, and in addition, the substantial benefits made Charlemagne even more relieved.

The complete recovery of the six eastern provinces not only means that the Celestial Dragon Empire has recovered all the fallen provinces, but also means that the two-front war of the Celestial Dragon Empire is about to end;

The difficult task of recovering the Sunset Fortress was not yet included in the military objectives of the imperial army by Charlemagne, and it was the most reasonable way for Charlemagne to station a million-strong army in the province of Montaine and build a defensive line on the spot.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the purpose of the orc army retreating to Sunset Fortress is not to continue this war, and the Celestial Dragon Empire, which cannot be erased from the face, maintains a war posture on the surface, and in fact has no preparation to continue the war.

Compared with the Orc Empire, which no longer attacked, the increasingly ferocious offensive of the northern steppe tribes was the main problem of the Celestial Dragon Empire, and the Celestial Dragon Empire, which had limited strength, had to devote more resources to the northern battlefield to deal with the aggressive offensive of the steppe tribes.

In view of this, all the imperial magnates, including the prime minister and the five ministers, agreed that they should concentrate as many troops and resources as possible on the northern battlefield while keeping the war situation in the east unchanged, in order to completely repel the invading steppe tribes in the south.

The real thing that caused the magnates in the palace to quarrel was still the 'fire' incident sent by the province of Brojansson, and throughout the history of the Tianlong Empire, no provincial governor or imperial marquis was burned to death, which caused the indignation of the magnates.

The good nobles who can mix in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital are all high-ranking nobles with high titles, and their vision and wisdom will certainly not be bad; the death of the provincial governor and his large number of followers due to the fire in the governor's palace is an unacceptable result for them in any case.

Most of the magnates in the imperial capital were indignant and asked Charlemagne to thoroughly investigate the 'fire' incident in the governor's palace of Brojansson Province, investigate the mastermind behind the 'fire' incident, and avenge the innocent death of the Marquis of Bedouin and other nobles!

There are also some powerful people who believe that the recovery of Brojansson Province, which has only been in place for a few months, has just entered a stage of stability in all aspects, and it is really not appropriate to make a big move, and it is better to hold only a few principal officials of the province accountable than to thoroughly investigate the matter on a large scale.

The two nobles, each insisting on their own opinions, quarreled endlessly in the palace that should have been solemn, and neither could convince the other with his own reasons, but Charlemagne, who had achieved his goal, coughed a few times at the right time, and only after the nobles had quieted down did he ask the Duke of Patel, the prime minister:

"Duke Patel, you are the Prime Minister of the Empire, what do you think about the fire in the province of Brosiansson?"

Duke Patel, who had his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened his eyes after hearing that his name was clicked by Charlemagne, and said: "Your Majesty, the fire incident in Brojansson Province, whether it was intentional or unintentionally coincidental, is not suitable to make a big deal at such a time. ”

Before Duke Patel's words could be heard, a marquis with a look of disgruntle on his face jumped out and accused him to his face: "Your Excellency Patel, you are the prime minister of the empire, how can you so condone the murderer who wantonly assassinated the high nobles of the empire with impunity?"

"It's not that I'm conniving at the impunity of the assassins, it's that the current situation in the Empire doesn't allow us to make a big move. The Duke of Patel, who was calm about the marquis's overly drastic attitude, calmly explained: "We cannot sacrifice our hard-won stability because of a marquis. ”

"Hmph, if we sacrifice a marquis today in exchange for temporary stability, then tomorrow we will need to sacrifice a duke in exchange for so-called stability, and sooner or later, all of us present will fall victim to this stability!"

The words of Duke Tesla, the Minister of Justice, were like pouring a basin of cold water into a pot of boiling oil, which immediately aroused the hatred of almost all the nobles in the palace, and even some of the nobles who had originally opposed them changed their minds under the influence of thinking about danger in times of peace.

"Your Excellency, your concern is indeed justified, but I think that Your Excellency Prime Minister's words are more reasonable; if we can't even survive today, how can we talk about tomorrow and the future? Maintaining the stability of the empire as much as possible is the most important thing we should do at the moment. ”

It is no secret that Count Yadunis is the person of the Eighth Prince, and it is no secret in the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital, and now he has taken the initiative to stand up in support of Duke Patel, and the deep meaning behind it makes the nobles with extremely sensitive nerves dare not speak easily.

Because the Minister of Justice, Duke Tesla, is the maternal grandfather of the Eighth Prince, and he is also one of the most core members of the Eighth Prince's power;

After a long time, Duke Tesla, who had reacted from the shock, blushed with a face full of anger, and asked the expressionless Count of Adonis:

"Count Yadunis, according to you, if I, in my capacity as Minister of Justice of the Empire, thoroughly investigate the case of the fire in the province of Brojansson, I am deliberately destabilizing the situation in the Empire, and trying to destroy the tomorrow and future of the Empire, right?"

"Of course not!" Count Yadonis, who was bitter and unspeakable, had no choice but to bite the bullet in the face of Duke Tesla's aggressive posture: "It's just that we don't need to let the empire, which has eased the situation a little, risk falling into chaos to investigate this matter." ”

"Could it be that investigating this matter will definitely plunge the empire into chaos?" Duke Tesla, who was chasing after him, said angrily: "If we can't even guarantee the laws of the empire and the majesty of the nobles of the empire, then our empire will fall into chaos sooner or later!"

"This ......" Count of Adonis, who is not very good at words, is no match for the Duke of Truss, who is the best at eloquence, and after the Count of Adonis was speechless, the Prince of Pros, who secretly instructed the Count of Adonis to come forward, had to come forward and say in person:

"Duke Truss, you are the Minister of Justice of the Empire, and it is your duty to maintain the fairness, justice, and openness of the laws of the Empire, but when some of your duties conflict with the interests of the Empire, I, as the Prince of the Empire, still hope that you can focus on the overall situation!"

The words of Prince Pross caused the angry Duke Truss to fall into a momentary stunned, and the Duke of Truss, who later understood, returned to his original position without saying a word after bowing to Charlemagne on the dragon chair.

Seeing such a scene, the nobles present instantly figured out the reason why Count Adouis refuted Duke Truss just now, it turned out that all this was arranged by Prince Pros, not something wrong within Prince Pros's forces.

On the surface, the purpose of Prince Pross to persuade Duke Truss is to consider the overall situation of the empire, but if this matter does not involve Prince Pross, how can Prince Pros, who has been a low-key person recently, perform an 'infighting' in public.

Thinking of this, the nobles in the power of Prince GLP and some nobles who were interested in getting close to Prince GLP gave up their original claims one after another, and spoke out in support of Duke Patel's opinion, advocating that the fire incident in Brojansson Province should not be investigated in depth.

Charlemagne, who had three pieces of secret information in his hands, still had a fairly full understanding of the fire case in Brojansson Province, and these three pieces of information, which had been revised by Ames, put all the responsibility for the 'fire' on the Fire Legion.

The Marquis of Bedouin's deliberate suppression of the Legion of Fire, and the causes and consequences of the conflict between the Legion of Fire and the army of the Doge's Palace, were all reported to Charlemagne by Ames in detail, except that the course of the battle that night, Ames made appropriate modifications.

Winck and his city defenders were directly concealed from the information, and the nobles such as Count Abraham did not mention the secret surrender of Bai Feng, and the responsibility for killing the Marquis of Bedouin and his followers was all pushed by Ames to the head of the Fire Legion.

After all, the Fire Legion is a royal legion directly under the royal family, how could Charlemagne, as the head of the royal family, really punish his own legions?

Duke Patel, the Prime Minister of the Empire, was an old and strong tumbler in the imperial political arena, and how could he not see Charlemagne's deep meaning when he was wise, so he gave his own advice according to Charlemagne's wishes.

The reason why the eighth prince GLP intervened was that Bai Feng sent a secret letter to him, in which Bai Feng focused on the fire at the governor's palace in Brojansson Province and mentioned his role in it.

Prince GLP, who is not a fool, after reading the secret letter sent back by Bai Feng, he understands that the province of Bronyangsong has returned to Bai Feng's hands, which is another happy and sad thing for the Prince of Pros, who has nominally obtained the allegiance of the entire Bai family.

What makes Prince GLP happy is that the Bronjansson Province that fell into the hands of Bai Feng has, in a sense, become a part of his own power;

As it turned out, Prince Pross's premonition was very accurate, and as soon as he persuaded his maternal grandfather, Duke Truss, to go back, Prince William's maternal grandfather, Duke Cullen, and Prince Philip's maternal grandfather, Duke Boris, jumped out one after another to oppose Duke Patel's proposal.

Seeing that the fire incident in Bronjancson Province was about to turn into an open and secret battle between the princes, Charlemagne, who was quite impatient, directly opened his mouth and ordered: "I think the prime minister's suggestion is very reasonable, and the matter is settled, and the others do not need to say much!"

"Obey Your Majesty's holy orders!" The nobles, who were arguing one second, greeted Charlemagne in unison the next.

"Your Majesty, since the situation in the Eastern Battlefield of the Empire has become increasingly stable, can we transfer some elite divisions from the Eastern Battlefield to reinforce the Northern Battlefield where we are underarmed?" As soon as the fire incident came to an end, Duke Cullen made a new proposal.

"Your Majesty, this move must not be done!" Duke Tesla on the side stood up again and objected: "The Sunset Fortress that we defended the Orc Empire has not yet recovered, and the million-strong army stationed in the six eastern provinces must not be reckless!"

"Duke Truss, you are the Minister of Justice of the Empire, and it is your duty to defend the laws of the Empire, and I am the Minister of War of the Empire, and it is my duty to mobilize the Imperial troops, and I don't think you have the right to intervene in the affairs of our military department. ”

Duke Cullen, who showed no mercy, directly accused Duke Truss's opposition of overstepping his authority; Duke Tesla, who was frowning when he heard Charlemagne's words, quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the minister ...... out of a public heart."

It's a pity that Charlemagne didn't give him a chance to explain: "Tesla, what Cullen said is not unreasonable, you are the Minister of Justice of the Empire, and it is more appropriate to leave matters related to military affairs to the Ministry of War; ”

"Your Majesty, after Duke Gna commanded the army into the province of Mengdan, the various legions deployed by the empire in the eastern battlefield have undergone a new division, and several more mobile corps have been formed; ”

Seeing that Duke Cullen shifted the topic to the war he was most concerned about, Charlemagne's spirit was obviously concentrated: "The army that the empire has assembled on the northern battlefield is also more than one million, can a few mobile corps enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the army on the northern front?"

"Your Majesty, these mobile legions include the Flame Legion, the famous Feather Forest Legion, and the newly formed Wind Legion, and what is more noteworthy is that the commander of this army is the Marquis of Baifeng, who has recently won many battles and recovered the five provinces one after another. ”

"Is there more than a hundred thousand elite divisions led by Marquis Bai Feng?" Charlemagne, who was talking to himself, after thinking for a while, announced in the form of an order: "Kulun, you immediately convey the order of the military department to Bai Feng, and let him immediately lead the army to the northern battlefield!"

Without waiting for the secretly excited Duke of Cullen to respond, Charlemagne ordered the Count of Adonis: "Adonis, I want to canonize Bai Feng as the Duke of Yulin of the Empire, and you will serve as my envoy to go to the province of Nice instead of me to convey the will to Bai Feng stationed there." ”

"Obey Your Majesty's Command!" Count Yadunis, whose face was overjoyed, hurriedly stood up and bowed down.

Duke Cullen, who stole chickens and rice, did not expect that he had just transferred Bai Feng, the right-hand man under the command of Prince GLP, out of the Eastern Battlefield; Charlemagne immediately promoted Bai Feng's title to the Duke of the Empire, the Duke of the Empire at the age of twenty, this is simply legendary!

Bai Feng's promotion to the title not only shocked the Duke of Kulun, who was caught off guard, but also shocked the nobles in the palace; after a short shock, the news that Bai Feng had not yet married a wife or even had a fiancée made countless nobles with daughters show excited looks.
