After hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Aderum's eyes, and then he regained his composure, drank the remaining wine in the cup safely, and took a breath before saying: "Your Majesty is not yet sixty, and his body is not abnormal, why did he die?" ”

Arufa glanced at his mother, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "My son is not very clear, but I vaguely heard that His Majesty is having fun with more than forty beautiful women, and due to an overdose of drugs"

Adlem raised his hand to stop his son from continuing. This is indeed like the fate of His Majesty the King, although the king is nearly sixty years old but has an endless love for beautiful women, with old age and weakness he began to take some aphrodisiac drugs, but I didn't expect him to be delusional and carnival with forty beauties, this can really be said to be retribution. Then he said: "Your Majesty can appoint a successor?" ”

Arufa nodded: "It's decided." It was the sixth prince, Prince Dikal. ”

"Dicar?" Adlerm nodded inwardly. If His Majesty has never done anything like a king in his life, then at least in the selection of an heir, it is not too bad. Dicar was the most suitable prince to be king, and although his personality was somewhat flamboyant and rash, he was full of courage and was also quite popular among the ministers. If he succeeds to the throne, it may be the best choice at the moment.

"Father, all the ministers have already gone to the palace, shall we also hurry up?"

Adrim shook his head and said, "The news has already come out, and even if Dikar is going to officially announce his succession, it will be early tomorrow morning." The most important thing to do before that was not to pay homage to the king and meet the new king, but to keep the peace and order in Basaratia in case anything changed. Immediately you go to General Bopos with my order. He was told to immediately corclose the gates of Basradi, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving, and at the same time intensify patrols in the streets. Any suspicious person will be temporarily detained. You personally lead a thousand elite soldiers to defend His Highness Dikal, and there must be no mistakes until the new king succeeds to the throne tomorrow! ”

"Yes!" Arufa gave a military salute and turned away.

Adlem let out a long yawn and said to his wife, "Looks like I'm going to bed early tonight, tomorrow will be a busy day." ”

"If His Highness knew about your heartless appearance like you, he would blame you."

"It's okay, I don't care." Adrim replied. In fact, as long as His Royal Highness Dikar does not doubt that he has the possibility of supporting the army and standing on his own, it doesn't matter how lazy he is.

Things turned out to be as Adelamb had predicted. Prince Dikar announced that the succession ceremony would be held early the next morning, and all possible commotion in Basradis had disappeared under the watchful eye of the general Bobos. When Adlem calmly went to congratulate the new king on his succession to the throne the next day, Dikar II was full of praise for his measures. praised him as a minister who can prevent problems before they happen. In this regard, Adlem just smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty has won the award, and Weichen only hopes that Your Majesty can give more financial rewards, which is enough to persuade the world to serve my Majesty the King loyally." ”

For the request of this money-greedy old man, Dicar II, who had just succeeded to the throne, laughed. He was then given a bunch of eye-catching treasures.

At the turn of the old and the new. Dikar II had too many things to do, but Adlem left nothing to do unless His Majesty personally inquired about it, and continued to live his life of peace and leisure, seemingly no different.

But behind this appearance, Adlerham's actions are actually very different. All kinds of information that he hadn't sorted out well for many years had been re-read by him, and he paid more attention to the training level of the army and the generals, and something that had been sleeping in his heart began to wake up. He instinctively realized that there might be some military changes after the new king succeeded to the throne, and blind rebellion would do more harm than good. When the time comes, he must make the most accurate recommendations to ensure that the country's strategy does not fail.

In the blink of an eye, Dicar II has been on the throne for more than a month. As Aderim continued to sit at his desk and lazily and seemingly life-consuming his daily papers, the King's envoy brought him news that the kingdom of Yaki had sent an envoy with some requests, and that His Majesty wished to hear the advice of the General before making a decision.

After receiving the king's order, Adlem immediately got up and rushed to the palace to meet the king, and after the meeting, Adlem finished saluting, and Dikar II said directly: "Your Excellency, you must have heard the general situation, the country of Yaki suddenly sent an ambassador, proposing that it would like to restore peace with our country, and maintain friendly exchanges with business travelers. This Yaki country has been fighting with our country for nearly a hundred years, and the grudge between the two sides is deep, and it is really confusing to suddenly make such a request. ”

Adlem thought for a moment and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Wechen thinks that the Yaki Congress has put down its reserve and come to make peace, and it seems that the rebellion in their south has indeed reached a worrying level. According to the intelligence of the past years, a rebel army appeared in the Dils Mountains in the south of the Yaki country six years ago, but it was not yet a climate at that time, so the Yaji country did not care. However, in the past few years, the Yaki army has been defeated and returned after several expeditions, and the rebels have not been wiped out but have grown stronger and stronger, and I heard that the rebels have also formed an alliance with the southern vassal state of Parci, and the Yaki army has suffered two major defeats in a row in the first two years, and has suffered heavy losses. At the time, we thought that there might be some adulteration in these reports to confuse us, but now it seems that these rumors are all true, and the Yaki country has reached the point where it has to deal with the rebels with all its might, so they have sent messengers to demand the restoration of peace between the two countries. ”

Dikar nodded after hearing this, and said, "I have also heard a little about what Your Excellency said, and it seems that Your Excellency and the widow have the same opinion on this point. So the question now is whether or not should we accede to their request? ”

Adlem blinked his gray eyes and said, "Given that our country's war losses have not fully recovered, it is in our interest to accede to their request." However, His Majesty cannot easily agree to this request, at least on the basic condition of allowing Yaki to return the territory that has been invaded and occupied by us. ”

"Well, that's what I thought, too. However, if a peace agreement is signed, Yaki may ask us to borrow troops to destroy the rebels in the name of friendship between the two countries. ”

"With all due respect, Yaki would not make such a request. There is a deep grudge between our two countries, and they will not trust our country. Besides, if the Yaki army really reaches the point where we have to help us, then I am afraid that the rebels have already achieved absolute superiority, and if he comes to borrow troops at this time, why don't we take the opportunity to seize some of Yaki's land and prevent it from falling into the hands of the rebels? ”

Dikar II smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "What Your Excellency said is very unbelievable. (To be continued.) )
