Episode 1 Early Autumn March (I)

In August of the year 345 of the Gregorian calendar, the weather in Farensi will cool down as in previous years, and once it enters August, the weather in France will immediately cool down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoChyna Ranfonte embarked on the journey back to the royal capital from her hometown, and this trip back to her hometown was to inherit a family inheritance, which was supposed to go to Sharpell, but due to the death of her father, the inheritance naturally fell to Chenna.

Originally, this property was not large, but it was a great wealth for a poor person like Chenna. According to Chinna's original idea, she could take over the property and pay most of it to the Gran mother and son in Pamis, on the one hand, to make their lives better, and on the other hand, to pay for the temporary rental of the Gran family's house. However, after arriving in my hometown, things were really unexpected, so that the trip that was expected to be half a month was delayed for a whole month.

"Your Excellency Ranfonte, you're finally back." She was greeted by several new non-commissioned officers and students in the city.

"Did the training of the Legion go according to normal planning during my absence?"

"Everything is normal under the command of General Gribland." It was Kreitt who answered her.

"Mademoiselle Lambonte, the ...... behind you," Showinston was the first to spot the four or five-year-old child behind Ginna, who was riding on the same horse as him.

"Well," China looked back, "this is Eclair." The child behind Chenna glared very unkindly at the new tender officers of the 13th Legion.

"So what does this kid have to do with you?" Ispar asked cautiously.

"Uh......" China thought as she tilted her head.

"You don't need to think about it for so long." Shoyunston whispered to his companions.

"If you talk about the current relationship - it should be a mother and daughter." Cenna replied with a smile.

The others present seemed to hear the sound of something shattering, and Showinston immediately hugged and cried with Asphal; Haas's mouth was wide open and he was already able to stuff an apple; The three throwing knives that Grossling had been playing with all fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kreit was able to keep his composure, cramping and asking, "So what is this child's last name?" ”

"Eclair has my last name now, of course it's Lanfang."

"This must have been done by Lord Luce, and there is no doubt that he had cruelly abandoned His Majesty Sigrani of Mastar. Now that he has attacked Miss Lanfonte, he even has a child, and Lord Luce is not ready to be responsible, and refuses to let the child's surname be Luce. Ahh ”

"Xiuyunston, calm down, Haas hold him." Kreyit commanded.

"Please use your brains, even if Lord Luce did it, is it possible to raise a child so big in a month?"

"Don't reason with him, he's a typical drunken maniac with salt water - idle." Grosslyn came up with this sentence.

"Alright, you guys don't put on a show there, let's hurry back to the barracks. In a few days, we will have to conduct confrontation exercises with the First Army, and there is still a lot to do. Cena decided to ignore the gang and prepared to ride away on her own.

"Yes, yes," Haas said, as he came to Chinna's horse, "as a boy from Pharansi, why do you have to ride a horse with an adult when you are so old, come here, and I'll let you ride the horse alone." ”

"Eclair is a girl, just follow me."

"Why do girls want to name Eclaire?" Haas muttered and went first. (Note: Eclair, which means "lightning", is usually used to name boys.) οΌ‰

By lunchtime, the news that Admiral Chenna Lanfonte had a daughter was known not only to the entire 13th Legion, but also to the First Legion and the Praetorian Guard. Because it is a rumor, many artificial details have been added to some details. For example, the appearance of the child, Eclair is obviously tan hair and royal blue eyes, but it is said that she has dark hair and purple eyes. Another example is that a child is four or five years old, but it is said that he is still an infant baby. In short, a rumor is about pointing an arrow at a certain person.

When the Prime Minister of Farensi had finished his morning business and went out of his office for lunch, he noticed many maids and Praetorian Guard soldiers pointing and whispering behind his back. With Thorgrande's intuition and style, someone was immediately caught by him and asked why, when he learned of the specific rumors. The Prime Minister was indignant and went straight to Her Majesty's office to demand severe punishment for those who spread rumors, only to receive an explanation from Her Majesty.

Poor Saugland had no choice but to go to the camp of the 13th Army in the afternoon and confront Admiral Lanfonte to clarify the matter.

And in the camp of the 13th Legion, China happened to receive Rakoxiu who came to pay farewell in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow was the day when the Hitaros people set off to return home, so Rakoxiu specially brought Prince Antaras to the barracks to say goodbye to his old friend. Just as the two women were talking, Xiu Yunston, who was currently serving as a herald, came in and reported: "Lord Lanfangte, Her Majesty the Queen and the Prime Minister are here. ”

"Hurry up and invite them in."

As soon as Margaret came in, she didn't notice that Racoxiu pounced directly on Chenna.

"Your Majesty."

"Ginna, don't be afraid, I will definitely call the shots for you this time, even if the other party is Sogrande."

β€œοΌŸοΌŸ Your Majesty, what are you talking about? Cena was confused.

Then Margaret told the rumors in the market, and Gina almost laughed to the ground.

"Cenna, what the hell is going on? Explain it to Your Majesty. Saulgrande said with a dark face.

As she looked at the situation, she explained the reasons one by one.

It turned out that China had gone back to inherit a fortune left to her by one of her aunts, and the old lady's daughter and son-in-law had gone before her, leaving behind only one granddaughter, Eclair. When the old man died, the property was divided in two, most of which was left to his granddaughter, and the other small part was originally left to her closest brother, Shappel, but since Shapur had died, it was taken over by Gentna. At this time, the old man's relatives began to beat little Eclair's idea, vying to be her guardian, in a vain attempt to seize the inheritance. Once there, China learns the guardian's true intentions with the assistance of the party who has lost the battle for custody, as well as the fact that he has abused Eclaire. Originally, this had nothing to do with Chinna, but perhaps it was maternal instinct, and China used the power she held to take custody of Eclair. However, in order not to overdo things, she divided her part of the inheritance to those greedy and despicable relatives. As a result, this child, who was actually her niece, became her nominal adopted daughter.

"Chenna, it's done so right, I support your approach in the name of the king." Margaret said excitedly.

"Chenna, although you are morally justified, legally you are wrong, and such abuse of power is not something we should promote." Sogrand actually uttered reproachful words.

"Lu Siqing, since I, as the king, have agreed, this is legal, and I will make up an order afterwards." The queen pouted, displeased.

"Your Majesty, although the king's authority is supreme, it is not advisable to abuse it. Admiral Lanfonte's actions are indeed unpunishable under the current law, but she did violate the original sentence of the local judge, who is the local judge, and did he not uphold the original sentence? ”

"It's not that serious, Lord Luce, such a trivial matter, even Her Majesty supports it, don't take it seriously." Rakoxiu also persuaded on the side.

"Chenna, the truth is on your side, but your way is not right. You should first prove to the local judge that the original guardian has indeed abused the child, and then the judge will formally transfer the custody to you, instead of using authority and bribery to solve the problem, you are no less knowledgeable than I should know such a process. You are an important minister of the central government, although this is only a small civil case, but it will set a bad example for others, and everyone will challenge the judge's judgment in the future, what can we do to maintain justice? Sogrend said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, send a group of people there to investigate everything clearly, and let the judge there review the will and guardianship again, and complete the original procedure. The child can't stand the journey, so let's stay here for the time being before it comes out. Sogrend suggested.

The queen looked at China with an inquiring look, and the other party bit her lip and said lightly: "I'm sorry, just do what Lord Luce said, I will do a deep review of this matter." ”

"Then this is the end of the matter," Thorgrande turned to the Queen, "Your Majesty, we are here to inspect the effectiveness of the training of the Thirteenth Legion under the new formation, and now is it time for Admiral Lambonte to take us to the barracks?" ”

"Uh......" Margaret's eyes rolled restlessly there, "but we don't necessarily have to leave His Highness Rakoxiu and Antaras here alone, and it doesn't seem appropriate to let the two of us go back or go back on our own." In that case, I shall entrust the inspection to Lord Luce, and when you have finished your inspection in the company of Admiral Lanfonte, you shall report to me at dinner. I'll take the first step to get the guests back to the hotel. ”

"But...... Your Majesty ...... "Before Sogrand could ask the Queen to reconsider, Margaret had already gotten up and left the camp. Originally, Racoxiu still wanted to give Sogrerd a little help, but his brother-in-law had already gone out with Margaret.

Rakoxiu had no choice but to get up and come to the two who were left behind, "Then, Lord Ryus, Chenna, I will take my leave first, and it will not affect your official business." We're going to have a dance party tomorrow night in the hotel ballroom, and I hope you both can come and attend, and here's the invitation, please put it away. ”

"Thanks, I'll be there on time." If there is one thing that Saulgrande has the least credibility of, it is this one.

"There's a chance I won't be able to go......," China said as she took the invitation.

"Don't worry, if the man is competent enough, you'll have a nice dress that day." Racoxiu threw the words completely at someone present.

Sogrend didn't say anything, just smiled and sent the other man out of the tent.

Then, when Sogrend had just returned from outside, China said to him stiffly, "Lord Leus, let's get to work." ”

"Stand upright!"

Grebrand, on Thorgrande's instructions, had a squadron randomly selected by the Prime Minister to assemble in a square on the playground. Under the guidance of the squadron leader, Sogrend and China patrolled the entire phalanx, and after several months of rigorous training, the morale and mental outlook of the soldiers improved greatly. This was well reflected in the soldiers of the former 7th Corps, which had previously been part of the 7th Corps.

Based on this appearance alone, many armies on the mainland can be called excellent.

The soldiers faced this young man who was about their own age, and many of them were burly and physique-surpassing the prime minister's. But when facing those purple eyes, everyone felt an invisible pressure, and this sense of oppression was only felt by those who had really been on the battlefield and faced tens of millions of troops.

"Looks like it's working well." Thorgrande looked back at Cena and smiled.

"Then let's see the squadron's drills." Chenna doesn't seem to be buying it.

"No, take me to their dorm room next." Sogrend rejected Chinna's offer.

The soldiers and officers below were puzzled, they really hadn't heard of the non-logistics officials who came to the barracks to inspect the army's dormitory, could it be that the prime minister wanted to expand the dormitory for us?

China looked at Sogrend quietly, and after a while said, "Then please come with me, Lord Chancellor." ”

A few minutes later, Sogrend, led by Chenna, went to the dormitory of the 13th Legion, and found a random room to push the door in. Unlike most military dormitories of this era, this one can be cleaned with a few windows. The sheets weren't clean, but at least there were no wrinkles. The quilts and pillows were mostly neatly stacked at the head of the bed, and the floor was clean, although it was only a level of mud, but at least there were no "crops" such as moss.

Behind the two, some people from the 13th Legion were there to spy curiously. Originally, the barracks dormitory of the 13th Army Corps was no different from the ordinary army, and it has become basic common sense that wherever a group of single men gather, the sanitary conditions will be very poor. However, when China received an order to reorganize the army, the first order she gave was: clean up. As for the second order, it was to maintain hygiene, and strict regulations were made for the personal housekeeping of officers and soldiers. At first, this made the people below complain, thinking that you can't force everyone to maintain this posture just because you are a woman and loves cleanliness. And many people are also thinking about it, estimating that Qinna is just using this to establish her prestige, and she will let go in a few days. But who ever came, the legion commander came down every day to spot check, and everyone was in danger. Once the draw displeased Chinna, the entire squadron was punished, so everyone was forced to come down like this.

By the time Cena took time off work last month to deal with the legacy, the 13th Legion wanted to finally be liberated and did whatever they wanted while the Legion Commander was away. As a result, the next morning there were many crying cries in the dormitory. It turned out that they found themselves sadly adapted to such a life, and it was only after they habitually sorted out their housekeeping that they remembered their bold words last night that they had vowed not to fold the quilt for a month. Later, everyone suddenly thought that this was actually quite good, and gradually even if the superiors did not supervise them, the soldiers would clean the barracks.

"Very good, very good, I look forward to the performance of the 13th Army in a month." Although Sogrend was still smiling normally, even Grebrand, who was on the side, could see that the Prime Minister was very pleased with them.

"It's nothing, the lower official also stole the teacher from the prime minister." China replied humbly.

Now that the Prime Minister's inspection was over, it was time to go back, but Thorgrande followed Chyna back to the Commander's tent. Griblane was supposed to accompany the two chiefs, but as soon as he wanted to step into the walk together, he was stopped from behind and hugged by someone, and dragged aside with his mouth covered.

"What do you guys want to do? Actually attacked the sir! Grebrandand later saw several young officers.

"Whisper, Lord Gribland." Kreyitt said.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Gribland was furious, he was a straight man.

"Lord Gribland, you don't want to be blamed by Her Majesty, do you?" Ispar asked.

"Nonsense, we should be loyal to Your Majesty, and of course we can't do anything that makes Your Majesty unhappy."

"Then if you follow up just now, you will make Your Majesty unhappy." Xiuyunston continued.

"How?" Gribland suddenly patted his head, "You mean the Prime Minister and Mademoiselle Lanfonte...... Woo. ”

"My lord is wise, you can understand this matter, you don't need to say it." Haas stopped the other man again.

"Phew, phew, let go of your hand, I see."

Inside the tent.

"Chyna......

"Prime Minister, the inspection is over, don't let Your Majesty wait, hurry back and report to Your Majesty."

"Chenna, you let me finish speaking, okay?" Sogrend asked cautiously.

"Say it."

"What do you think should be relied upon to govern a country well in the long term?" Thorgrande asked suddenly.

"Rely on the king? No, if something goes wrong with the king himself, the whole country will be destroyed; Relying on the nobility? No, it would make the king not like the king, and the country would be in danger of splitting; Relying on ordinary people, although the common people are kind, they are also easily confused and taken advantage of...... "China is completely confused, which can also be said to be the cuteness of China." Once you think about the important issues, you forget about other trivial things.

"You are right, relying on these people will have inevitable defects, so it is not people who can rely on it for a long time, but the law, the law with absolute authority. You are no stranger to history than I am. Artikat was so strong in her republic that no matter who became the consul, she was able to defeat strong enemies from outside. And when she entered the imperial period, she gradually became powerless, even though there were so many famous kings in the imperial era. Many of them were arguably much better than the previous consuls, but once the country left the control of the famous monarchs, it was gradually dying. Why is that? That's because all the consuls of the republic followed the laws of the republic, and even if they wanted to change the law, they had to pass the appraisal of many people, and if the consuls made mistakes, they could be stopped by the right laws. And in the age of empires, the emperor was the law, and if the emperor made a mistake, no one could stop him. Therefore, we need a complete and correct law, and at the same time we need a spirit of reverence for the law. If this reverence is not cultivated from the king, from the higher-ups, then even if we have the best laws in the world, it is nothing more than a pile of symbols and waste paper. Therefore, please understand my painstaking efforts and forgive me for my reproach to you. Sogrend said seriously.

"I see." China looked down for a moment, then looked up again and said, "I forgive you, you should make amends to me." ”

"No problem," laughed Thorgrande, "the best tailor in the whole of Kaunescu is yours." ”

Sogrend then added: "And, of course, the best fabrics from the whole of Kaunescu. ”

"Is your little salary enough? My Lord Chancellor. Cena pressed close to Sogrend's chest.

"It should be enough, if it is not enough, I will take some from the treasury?" Thorgrande looked down and smelled the other man's hair.

"Do you dare? Besides, it was you who gave the order without you and His Majesty signing at the same time, and the treasury could not be opened......" The two of them got closer and closer.

There's a bet out there.

"I bet Mistress Luce has kissed Mademoiselle Lanfonte now." Ispar throws 5 coppers.

"I bet I didn't kiss." Haas also produced five coppers.

"I bet they're out of control by now." Xiuyunston produced 2 coppers.

After placing a bet, "Who's going to go in and take a look?" ”

"Of course, it's the one with the least bets."

"That's you, Xiuyunston."

"Hey, no, don't be violent, ouch." Shuyunston was thrown into the tent by the rest of the men.

"Ah, Prime Minister, Your Excellency the Admiral, I have not seen anything, I have heard nothing, and you have continued to do business despite my presence. I'll leave right away. Xiuyunston covered his eyes and got up from the ground and wanted to escape.

"Captain Ingrid, stop me." It was Saulgrande's voice.

Xiuyunston thought to himself, it's over, the prime minister is going to kill people.

"You put your hands down! Come over here. It was Chenna's voice.

"Yes," Xiu Yunston agreed, but did not let go of his hand, and walked over in search of the voice.

"Put your hands down."

"Forget it, Your Excellency."

"It's an order."

"Yes" Xiu Yunston put down his hand stubbornly, and what came into his eyes was a map of the battle.

"Captain Ingrid, I have drawn up a hypothetical battle plan with the Prime Minister, and I would like to hear your opinion......"

Xiuyunston actually didn't listen to anything, and muttered, "How can this be the case......"

Afterwards, when the incident spread outside, everyone shouted for heaven and earth, and they almost stumbled on the ground.
