The Duke of Lancaster of Tyrion, the Lord of Winterfell, the Lord of Winterfell, the Lord of Eagle Wheel, Duke Euffric, and the Lord of Dragoncastle, Archduchess Dilisa, constitute the most powerful of the princes of the Holy Auckland Empire. During the most difficult period of the Shengquan royal family, the gate lords and nobles of the empire used the seven great princes, including these four families, as the leaders to oppose the central royal family, and disobeyed the imperial capital's decrees, and even privately merged with each other, almost turning the empire into a warring state again.

Of course, this was before the current 'Sun King' Gaius the Great ascended the throne. After years of efforts by the emperor, the power of the nobles of the gate valve has been greatly reduced, and there are three families that dare to claim the king directly under the exposure of the sun.

Under the sun of Gaius the Great, the princes had to put their tails between their legs. There are even gate lords and aristocrats who turn their backs on "their own honor and camp" and wag their tails to the royal family and beg for mercy. For example, the current Duke of Thyrion is even a student of the Emperor's staunch friend, the former Prime Minister Arte.

Speaking of which, Tyrion can also be regarded as an outlier of the Lancaster family, which is rich in handsome guys and beauties. He is the youngest son of the golden lion prince Tyne, the patriarch of the previous Lancaster clan, who took his mother's life due to difficult childbirth at birth. Because of congenital deficiencies, his height has always been like that of a child, and his facial features and limbs also appear to be somewhat deformed, and his appearance is not good.

As long as Duke Tyne sees that terrible face, he thinks of his wife who has a difficult birth, and naturally he will not treat this little son well.

If it were a hot-blooded story, Thyrion might have worked hard because of the disdain of the people around him, and finally became a model for the little man and the big man. Similarly, it is still a hot-blooded story, the despised Tyrion may be bullied and suppressed, hated the whole world and finally became the villain of the Great Demon King, and was finally defeated by a hot-blooded middle two brave man with his and his friends......

It's a pity that the story doesn't unfold so abnormally. Although he was short and unattractive, Thyrion was intelligent and precocious, and loved to read and think. When traveling in the imperial capital, he met Empress Estill, who was in Weifu, and thus became acquainted with the emperor's family and the then prime minister Yalt, and finally became a student of the latter.

The Emperor and his wife and the Prime Minister admired this ugly, small but intelligent and studious young man, and after the death of the eldest son of the Duke of Tyne, Emperor Gaius even intervened in the inheritance of the Lancaster family, and forcibly put the stunted Tyrion on the throne of the Lord of Kaiyan and the Duke of Lancaster.

Of course, Tyrion didn't disappoint either. After he became the duke, he not only worked hard to manage the Lancaster family's territory, but also poured out his stomach full of bad water to tease the pirate group that had fallen into the sea route of the stars for hundreds of years.

For more than ten years, the "pirate kings" of the Falling Star Sea have been played to death or crippled by the black-bellied gnomes, and the maritime trade on the Falling Star Sea and Kaiyan City have also reached the most prosperous period in history. Tyrion's nickname has also changed from "Little Devil" to "Little Giant".

The old emperor's invitation at this time not only allowed Tyrion to become the head of the court ministers, but also confirmed the Lancaster family's well-deserved first position among the imperial nobility, but it was still rejected by the "little giant".

Tyrion added: "In addition, with all due respect, in the current situation, the minister is even more unsuitable to stay in the center, not only is the minister not suitable, but anyone who has a deep relationship with His Royal Highness Icon is not suitable to stay in the imperial capital. Conversely, it is the same on the side of Her Highness Caterina. ”

"Tyrion, you just seem to be an evasion, but it doesn't solve anything." The Emperor shook his head. However, he didn't really complain about the other party, Tyrion was a courtier after all, and he could only find a way to avoid the dispute over the storage position, could it be that he was ready to participate in the whole process? …,

The Emperor thought for a moment and asked, "What do you think of my second son, your brother-in-law Iken?" ”

Tyrion blinked, and said unceremoniously, "Maybe you can be a qualified military judge or procurator." ”

In other words, being an emperor is probably enough......

"I've heard that he is very fair and decent, his style is rigorous, and his reputation is still good. Besides, isn't there Serena to help him? ”

"As a ruler, you need to respect the rules, but you must not be bound by them. The practice of not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool for the rules shows that he has no sympathy for people's hearts at all, or is afraid to experience people's hearts. As for the minister's sister, well, a little bit of long-sleeved dancing to buy people's hearts is not worth mentioning at all. "Tyrion was very unkind about his loved ones.

"The main problem, of course, is that neither he nor my troubled sister thinks so." Tyrion couldn't help but add.

The Emperor smiled disappreciatively, "What about Karin? ”

"Her Royal Highness Caterina, at least in terms of talent, she has obtained the true inheritance of Her Majesty and Estelle, of course, there is occasionally an out-of-tune side," the Duke thought for a moment, and then smiled: "This can be regarded as the true inheritance of his grandparents, right?" ”

"Hey, you guys really dare to say it! That's disrespectful, bastard! The Emperor scolded loudly, but a hearty smile appeared on his face, "But listen to you, my granddaughter is more suitable for the throne than Iken?" Well, it's quite interesting to have an empress for the empire. ”

The short Duke shook his head and said, "But Your Majesty, talent often does not mean that she is suitable for the throne, and besides, Her Royal Highness Caterina is only eighteen years old, and she is a woman and has two uncles alive. Moreover, the empire has not had an empress for three hundred years, and there is a bad precedent before...... Even if the minister can agree, His Royal Highness Iken, well, the minister's clansmen, as well as a large number of court nobles and local princes, are difficult to agree. ”

The "precedent" in Tyrion's mouth refers to the Imperial Empress Jezebeth II three hundred years ago, the most famous empress in history and one of the biggest stains on the Holy Springs royal family. In the short ten years that the empress was alive, her mistresses, male favorites, prostitutes, and their clansmen and cronies controlled almost all the key departments of the empire. These people are arrogant and arbitrary, not only causing the state to be corrupted, but also wantonly insulting and slaughtering the nobles with a long history and pride.

It wasn't until the contemporary Grand Duke of Dragoncastle Lynn raised troops on the "Qing Jun's side" that the empire was finally not tossed away by a lewd empress and her sexual partners. Of course, it is precisely because Jezebeth II has left too many erotic novel themes to the world that "women, especially the empress, are unreliable" has almost become the consensus of the imperial aristocracy.

"After all, Her Royal Highness Caterina can marry and have children, and if she has a lover who is in love, many people will have more reasons to oppose her." "Fortunately, we don't have to worry about this at the moment. Although the minister's unobtrusive sister tried her best to drag Karin down on a blind date, she had her own opinions, and she was just a noble-born child of a high-ranking family, and she couldn't get into her eyes at all. ”

In fact, if only she were an ordinary princess, it would be easier to marry honestly, and I wouldn't have to work so hard. Tyrion belly slander.

Maybe she has found this "lover", doesn't that girl still want to elope with someone else? The emperor was also smiling helplessly, but naturally it would not be seen.

"To be blunt, you really don't look like your father at all, but you really deserve to be a student of Arte." A hint of imperceptible emotion flashed in the emperor's eyes, and then the topic changed, and his tone was still unquestionable: "It is because of this situation that I must appoint you as the imperial prime minister of the empire!" ”…,

“…… Well, the minister is also young, and his energy is not as good as before, and even auditory hallucinations have appeared. Tyrion patted his ears, "That, forgive Weichen for being rude, Your Majesty, can you be a minister I haven't heard it." ”

"Don't pretend to be confused, you just accept your fate." The Emperor replied stiffly, "Well, in this way, your sister will be happy." ”

"She'll gnash her teeth, but she'll put on a grateful face for you, and of course, she still doesn't even have a smile on her poor dwarf brother." Tyrion replied with a bitter smile, "We're just taking advantage of each other." So, in order to keep poor Tyrion from having to face his sister's wretched face, and in order to have a good mood for the next ten years, Your Majesty, please be sure to take back your fate. ”

"I'll hang up in another year and a half at most. You're in a good mood with a sister! The emperor scolded loudly, and his voice thundered, like an old man who was about to enter the earth.

"I'm asking you, that stinky boy in Virgia isn't a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as I closed my eyes, the contract binding the northern barbarians would be invalidated, and would Gorross and Jon be able to stop the Virginians who had been holding back their grievances for forty years? ”

"Marshal Gorros is the chief of the Templars, Duke Jon...... He is also a contemporary celebrity. Although Duke Jon is the patriarch of the Stoka family, Tyrion still gives a pertinent assessment: "Although they cannot attack with their forces, there is no problem in maintaining the defense line on the northern border." But what does this have to do with our topic? ”

The emperor did not answer, but suddenly said coldly: "What if they lead the main force south to fight for the throne for Katarina?" ”

Thyrion couldn't help but be stunned, and then a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, but of course more helplessly. Isn't it the Emperor's Majesty that is causing this problem? Is it okay to be a little self-conscious?

If it were anyone else, even if it was his sister, brother-in-law or even his own father, Duke Tyrion, who was known for his poisonous tongue, would definitely be merciless and sarcastic, until he bombarded the other party to the slag with his mouth cannon. But after all, the other party is the lord who is also a father and a friend, and the relationship is better than that of his father, and the short duke wasted a lot of effort to keep the desire to complain in his stomach.

"I have just received a letter from the Dragon Knights of the Throat of the World, alas, if I am twenty years younger, no, even ten...... But now, it's up to you young people. The emperor sighed slightly, his face was gloomy, and it was at this time that he really looked like an old man in his twilight; But such a twilight only flashed on the old man's face, and his tone suddenly became categorical: "The situation in a hundred years will definitely be an era of turbulent changes. In this era, the fate of people and countries is nothing more than catkins and duckweed, which is left to you to grasp, and only you can grasp it, so I can rest assured. Remember, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't expect perfection, just rely on your heart and make the most appropriate decisions. ”

Duke Tyrion only felt that his mind was a little blank, and the conversation had unfolded much more than he had expected. Out of instinct, he almost subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, the minister still can't ......"

The emperor's eyes narrowed, his voice sank, and suddenly there was an awe-inspiring and irresistible sense of oppression: "Duke Tyrion van Lancaster, this is the edict of the Emperor of the Auckland Empire, the object of your oath of allegiance, Guy Van Glenbav Dimahia!" Are you going to disobey? ”

"This ...... Majesty, alas, is there any other choice? ”

"Of course not, I'll just say yes. That's good. The Emperor then showed a relieved expression, and scanned the blooming moon season and the sea of roses with a reluctant gaze: "I have never given the Nord barbarians a chance to see the wonders of the Hanging Gardens in my life, and you can definitely do it." However, in the future, you will face more enemies than the barbarians of the north, hey, may the Holy Light bless. ”…,

The Emperor picked up a scepter about half a meter long from his side and threw it at Tyrion. The latter hurriedly caught it, and when he looked closely, he found that the black scales inlaid on the top of the scepter and the small relief of the round table in front of the emperor were the symbol of the status and power of the imperial prime minister - the "Hand of Auckland Scepter".

"This thing is yours, and you've found the right owner. It's better than its first three unreliable guys. ”

The Emperor was referring to the three prime ministers of the twelve years since Arte's death—Calderon, Salfus, and Ashley—who were generally mediocre, and of course, even more stupid than their two virtuous ministers, Elouphi and Art.

Will I be the fourth?

Besides, what did the emperor mean by what he just said? The fate of the empire? The fate of the world? In other words, will there be unprecedented changes in the future? So what does it mean to be more than just an enemy of the northern barbarians? Considering the authority and letters of the Dragon Knights, the "Little Giant" had an understanding.

Tyrion let out a long sigh, and covered up his heavy thoughts with a helpless smile, and the joy of becoming the prime minister was naturally not at all.

Obviously, I came to find a way to excuse my son and find out the wind by the way, but why did I take on a very troublesome errand for some reason?
