Those who first enter the royal capital will be impressed by the prosperity of Asamos, an ancient city with a long history, a vast area and a beautiful city, which has survived 50 emperors and many wars.

Along the way, civilians and businessmen rubbed shoulders, and pedestrians flowed endlessly.

Arriving at the royal capital, Wayne waited for the old king's summons.

It didn't take long for the old king's attendants to come to the officials and take them to the audience.

On the way, Wayne was passing through the palace gardens when he saw an unusually quiet and gorgeously dressed girl, who fled like a frightened rabbit when she sensed Wayne's gaze.

Seeing this, the attendant couldn't help but smile and explained, "That's Her Royal Highness Princess Sallut. ”

Wayne's face showed a sudden look, no wonder his appearance and behavior were familiar, and then, he couldn't help but have strange thoughts in his heart, you must know that the old king has a lot of thoughts about his daughter, otherwise he would not be angry at Grievous in the original book and torture him as a waste.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think, maybe this extremely timid princess could be a breakthrough.

There was no time to think about it, and soon Wayne was led to the main hall by his attendants.

Gus and Zod were stopped outside the hall, and Wayne waved for them to wait patiently, then removed the Enma knife from his waist and followed the attendants into the main hall.

On the first step of the first month, the civil and military ministers on both sides of the entire hall brushed back and forth, and this high-ranking person had accumulated power for a long time and mixed together, and ordinary people would probably be discouraged.

However, Wayne's face did not change, ignoring all his gaze, he stepped ten steps under the throne and knelt on one knee, "Lord Wayne Bruce (in turn, deliberately) greets Your Majesty." ”

"Arise, my dear Earl Bruce." The old, distinctive voice of the old king sounded.

Wayne stood up and looked ahead, and the figure of the old king came into view, no different from what he had imagined.

Old and weak, the sun is twilight, as if he is holding on to a breath, even if his face is sickly pale, he still beats his spirit.

The old king may not die soon. This is Wayne's judgment.

I don't know what the new Admiral de Sa thinks of himself at the moment, the old king said with a smile on his face, "Although this is the first time I have seen you, I have heard your name no less than ten times, the god of war of Midland, and now the people call you that, and thanks to you, Desa will not fall into the hands of the rebels, and even more to you, so that the nine provinces will not be harassed by those thieves." Mitland has you, which can be regarded as a blessing to the kingdom and a blessing to the people. ”

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is just doing his duty." Wayne got down on one knee again.

I have to say that the old king's winning of people's hearts is really good, and in a few words, he can't help but be a little fluttering when he listens to it, and it is worthy of sitting in the position of the king for nearly 40 years.

Seeing that Wayne was so knowledgeable, the old king nodded with satisfaction, and his heart couldn't help but strengthen the intention of promotion that he had before.

Regarding the current situation of the empire, although he is old, he also sees it very thoroughly. He has his younger brother Ulis eyeing the throne, plus the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Bandio family are intriguing. There is an imperial peep outside, and it may attack at any time. Therefore, the kingdom seems to be prosperous today, but it is actually suffering from internal and external troubles.

He needs such a person, who can be used for himself, to clear the internal troubles, and to eliminate the external troubles. After observing Wayne for a long time, he finally determined that this was indeed the right person for him.

"Whether it is a false praise or not, I naturally know that meritorious service will be rewarded, this is my principle, Earl Bruce obeys the order!"

As the old king's face turned grim, "In view of the Earl Bruce's meritorious service in defending the land and suppressing bandits, he was first promoted to the general of the imperial capital's defense, and the general leader of the forbidden army and the knights, and then promoted to another level and gave the marquis's mansion." ”

As soon as the decree came out, everyone was in an uproar, and Chancellor of the Exchequer Hawes hurriedly came out, "By no means, Your Majesty, such a reward is too heavy." ”

For the first time, Farnase's father, Nazares, was on the same side as Hoss, "Your Majesty, what the Chancellor of the Exchequer has said is that the merits of Earl Bruce are not enough to be rewarded so much, and I am afraid that many will be dissatisfied. ”

Seeing these two boxes of guys come out one after the other to refute, the old king's eyelids jumped, and his expression turned cold, "This is my will, do you want to convey it on my behalf?" ”

This is already a very serious accusation, and the two who know that the old king has made up their minds have no choice but to list.

In this regard, Wayne, who watched a good show, accepted this will quite funny, and he officially entered the kingdom center from the place, but he also knew that he had now become a thorn in the side of these two people.

Soon, the audience ceremony ended, and the usual court meeting began, most of which were related to internal affairs.

Wayne was drowsy until the end of the court meeting, and was left behind by the old king, and the eyes of those ministers before leaving were very unkind, which couldn't help but make him laugh secretly, and the old king's move also meant to roast him on his own fire.

Let yourself become the target of the public, isolate yourself, and then use it for the old king, this is the emperor's mental trick.

Inherited from some memories of Sima Yi's life soul, Wayne is no stranger to such scheming methods, so don't think that he doesn't know anything, and the only one who can have the last laugh will be him.

It's just a pity that this old king will inevitably become a victim of the struggle.

From an unnoticed angle of the old king, Wayne glanced at his old back with pity.
