Chapter 296: Each has a ghost
Follow the old king to the back garden of the palace, under the support of the attendants, the old king sat down tremblingly, and gasped heavily, "People are old, they don't believe in the old, they don't care about these when they are young, they only know how to blindly forge ahead, but they find that things are not as simple as they think, I have solved a lot of problems in the past few decades, but I have also created a lot of problems." I don't want my descendants to repeat my mistakes, Wayne Wayne, do you understand what I mean? ”
Wayne nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, I think I understand what you mean. ”
"You are a smart person, so we speak in a smart way, I hope that Shar Ruth can sit on the throne of Queen Mitland in peace, at that time, I don't care how powerful you are, I just need to ensure that the royal blood of my Ewing family can continue, people are old, so you can't expect too much, don't you say?"
Looking at the old king's lonely look, if it weren't for Wayne, he would have been quite scheming, and he was almost deceived by this old guy.
Obviously, his words were like hanging a carrot in front of a horse, tempting the horse to run and not eat it anyway. It may be useful before it reaches its destination, but once it does, it is the time of its death, because the person who hoisted the carrot knew that he could not give the horse what he wanted.
Secretly sneering in his heart, Wayne pretended to be terrified, "Your Majesty is serious, and the royal family will naturally be able to survive for generations." ”
Seeing this, the old king was secretly satisfied, he liked to look at his subordinates with sincere fear, which could make him feel that his prestige was still there, but seeing him cough lightly, he said slowly, "Today, I don't want a third person to know, so be it, Wayne Qing, I hope you can do your own 'part' of things." ”
"Retire!"
Leaving the palace, taking Gus and Zod to the Marquis's Palace, seeing the Marquis's Mansion located in the prosperous area of the royal capital and the high-rise mansion and deep courtyard, Wayne had to sigh that the old king had invested enough money to win him over.
Of course, the biggest gain is naturally his new position, the Minister of Defense of the Royal Capital, simply put, the commander of the capital garrison.
The old king handed over the Praetorian Guard to himself, clearly wanting to defend himself against the Bandio family, in case the Bandio family fell to his younger brother Yuris and staged an armed coup.
And putting Wayne in this position is just right to watch Wayne fight with the Bandio family.
If you lose, it's a big deal to think that you see the wrong person, and find another one. If you win, you will undoubtedly achieve your goal.
It was the old king's wishful thinking, but he didn't know that his calculations had already been detected by Wayne, he planned to make a plan, he was going to fight with the Bandio family, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and now with the old king's support, he was not afraid of others, plus the old king did not remove his title of Admiral de Sa, that is, his plan to control the place can still continue in an orderly manner.
Therefore, Wayne immediately asked Gus and Zod to leave with the men and horses who came, and conveyed his intentions, while he stayed in the royal capital alone and did his 'duty'.
The Bandio family mansion.
The head of the family, Nazales, was full of sadness at the moment, and today's discussion made him find that the old king was dissatisfied with his family, which was undoubtedly a dangerous signal, once the old king made up his mind to eradicate the Bandio family, then his appeal in the military alone may not be enough to withstand the direct orders of the royal family.
"Your Majesty, you're forcing me to fall to His Highness Yuris..."
On his side, a handsome young man asked hesitantly, "Father, how to deal with the affairs of the Praetorian Guard?" ”
Hearing his eldest son, Manifegau, Nazares' face turned cold, "That nouveau riche thought he could easily take over the Praetorian Guard?" There, but there's a descendant of my Bandio family. Look at it, at that time, the entire Praetorian Guard Legion, he won't even think about commanding any of them. ”
On the other hand, Wayne, who was about to take office, also discovered this problem, because the military department has always been in the hands of the Bandio family, and the Praetorian Guard used to be under the jurisdiction of the Bandio family.
The first is deterrence, the second is purge, without appointing people from the Bandio family, let the old king assign his descendants to the Praetorian Guard, and then the alliance will be able to better dig this corner.
Therefore, Wayne, who had made up his mind, set up a ring on the first day of entering the barracks, allowing disobedient soldiers and officers to challenge on stage, regardless of life and death. And the final result, of course, does not need to be said.
Having succeeded in intimidating the Praetorian Guard, Wayne began to use the evidence he gathered to remove the Bandio family from the nail planted in the Praetorian Guard, and wrote to the old king to send his trusted mid- and low-ranking officers to take over the position.
At this point, the Praetorian Guard completely changed hands from the Bandio family, which also strengthened Nazarez's determination to fall to the old king's younger brother, Yuris Ewing, the head of the White Dragon Order of Midland.
At the same time, Najeta had reached the Empire's border with Mittland, and after integrating the border garrison, she waited for Krotta's arrival, and during this time, standing at the head of the city, looking at the territory of Mittland, which was said to be no weaker than the Empire, she couldn't help but worry in her heart, but she was helpless.
