Godsend Field

Chapter 370 Value

The amnesty issued from the capital was sent to all provinces of the empire as quickly as possible, and the whole country was mourned by the amnesty.

A large-scale state funeral was held in the capital Ancona, and almost all capital officials attended the state funeral.His Majesty was buried in the center of the Eastern Mausoleum. Apart from the main mausoleum, there were five hundred large and small buildings, which were the same size as the first king. They were named the Holy Mausoleum!

The amnesty also mentioned that the third prince suddenly became insane and insane, and both the eldest prince regent and the sixth prince assistant regent were killed by the third prince.After the unanimous recommendation of Lord Saint and all the officials, the crown prince will be the fifth princess Luna's fiancé Nero!
For this conclusion, it did not cause much repercussions among the empire.

It has been a month since His Majesty's funeral.

early morning
To the left of the entrance of the Holy Mausoleum, next to a newly erected large stone tablet, Tianci walked slowly around, stroking the stone tablet with his fingers, his eyes full of sadness.I don't know how many times I turned around, Tianci sat down gently, resting her head on the stone tablet and closing her eyes!

With the sound of slight footsteps, three figures came up from the steps and stopped in front of Tianci.

Tianci opened his eyes, "Dean, Qin'er, Li'er, you are here!"

Seeing Tianci's messy beard and decadent expression, Dean Rafal sighed and shook his head, "Li'er, Qin'er, help me get the flowers to be placed in the hall, I will talk to Tianci!"

Li'er and Qin'er nodded obediently, and walked towards the main hall of the Holy Tomb.

"Heavenly gift, the state funeral is over, do you plan to stay here for the rest of your life?" Dean Rafal was slightly dissatisfied!

"Dean, can you tell me what we are living for? These days I have been here with His Majesty, recalling His Majesty's words. As the Lord of the Empire, His Majesty is admired by others, but he himself feels that he lives I am like a donkey, and only death is the only release. I was considered a useless person since I was a child, and I refused to accept my hard work, but today, I have surpassed many people, but I feel confused!" Tianci closed his eyes and turned his head. low on the knees.

Dean Rafael sighed, it seems that he underestimated the impact of His Majesty's death on Tianci, "Everyone has their own responsibility and belief in life, and this responsibility also reflects his own value. Tianci, you know Your Majesty What are your responsibilities and beliefs?"

Tianci raised his head and shook it slightly.

"It's here!" Dean Rafal pointed to the stele.

Tianci stood up and turned around, only to see four big scarlet characters on the stone tablet, 'The country is rich and the people are strong'.

"He once gave me these four words, because I chose him for these four words. Since then, these four words have become his responsibility and belief. For these four words, he has paid his own. Everything, including his own son. And when he died, he had already done it. Because of his existence, our Welsh Empire became the most powerful empire. Because of his existence, our hundreds of millions of people can live Decades of stable life, this is his value! As a protector of the country, it is my responsibility to protect the empire from disappearing, and it is also the value of my existence. Godsend, I know that your majesty’s death has a great impact on you, let It's normal for you to feel confused for a while! But have you ever thought about why His Majesty promoted you from a commoner to a viscount, earl, marquis, and finally to a duke? From a Northwest lord to a Northwest Army counselor? Didn't he just want you to be the best? Does it reflect your worth?"

"My worth?"

"Yes, your value! Your previous value was to guard the northwest to stabilize the empire and wait for His Majesty to wake up. Your current value is to assist Nero to take over the empire as soon as possible. As for your future value, you need to find it slowly by yourself !"

Tianci caressed the stele and looked at the four large characters on the top, "I understand, thank you, Dean!"

Dean Rafal nodded reassuringly, "Heavenly gift, I still want to tell you. The heavier a person's responsibility, the greater his value, and the more suffering he has to bear. I know what you are doing now In the eyes of others, your strength is very mysterious and strong, but in our eyes, it is just curiosity and it is not worth mentioning at all. If you want to reflect your greatest value, you must have enough strength, and you cannot stay where you are , you need to be stronger!"

Tianci covered his face with his hand, took a deep breath, "I will work harder!"

"Just understand! You have been here for a month, and I don't think His Majesty wants to see you stay here forever. The outside is your sky!"

At this time, Qin'er and Li'er came down after presenting the flowers, looking at Tianci with concern.

Looking at His Majesty's mausoleum, Tianci knelt down and kowtowed, and stood up refreshed, "Dean, Qin'er Lier, let's go!"

Qin'er and Li'er were pleasantly surprised, "Let's go together, you are finally willing to go with us!"

Tianci let go of the confusion in his heart, and smiled wisely, "Well, let's go together! I'm sorry for worrying you these days!"

The four of Dean Rafael walked out of Dongling, while Bai Ying and Yu'er were wandering outside boredly, seeing Tianci coming out, Yu'er quickly jumped off Baiying and jumped onto Tianci's shoulder.The little paw gestured, Tianci smiled and nodded Yu'er's little head.

"Brother Tianci, during the time you were here, Aunt Zhen and Uncle An Rui sent Duke Kate back to the fief! Nero lived in the palace and did not go with him, Aunt Zhen asked me and Qin'er to take care of you!" Lier Said in a low voice.

"Mom went to fiefdom?" Tianci was surprised.

"Well, after the state funeral of His Majesty, they held a funeral for Kate in the capital and sent them to the fief to enter the ancestral grave. Nero is now the crown prince and cannot leave the palace, so only Jane sent Kate back in person! But don't worry, there is With An Rui protecting him, and with Gru leading his personal guards, nothing will happen!" said Dean Rafal.

"Gru? What about Gauss?"

"Gauss' Golden Chrysanthemum Guard stayed with Nero. Although Nero lived in the palace, it is not safe!"

Tianci frowned, "Dean, are you saying that someone threatened Nero?"

"It's not a threat! Although we have appointed Nero as the crown prince, some people are still dissatisfied, especially the four princesses and their husbands, who are now making trouble in the court every day. With the crown prince, we Even if this saint has the heart, there is nothing he can do!"

"Then the current commander of the Imperial Guard is Tesker?"

"Well, what happened last time, His Majesty said that you will not pursue it!"

"Tesker is the commander of the imperial guards who is responsible for defending the palace, but he let the four princesses do whatever they want. It seems that he and the people in the military department are still dissatisfied with Nero!" Tianci said lightly, "Li'er, do me a favor." , you take the white shadow to go to Grandpa’s Silver Armor Guard barracks, and go and transfer them all to the gate of the Duke’s Mansion to stand by. This is my order to appoint the Duke Heavenly Pardon, and tell the head of the Silver Armor Guard that if the city gate guards dare to block Subdue me, dare to resist and go straight to the decision!"

Li'er received the order of amnesty and ran towards the barracks on a white shadow.

Tianci, Dean Rafal, and Qin'er speeded up and rushed towards the capital!
The guards at the city gate saw Tianci and Dean Rafal hurriedly saluted, cleared away the surrounding people and welcomed the three of them into the city.Dean Rafal returned to Imperial College alone.Tianci took Qin'er's hand and came to the Duke's mansion.

There are still white flowers and black banners hanging on the gate of the Duke's Mansion. The guards are standing at the gate, and the square is deserted!

"Young Master!" Seeing Tianci, the guards hurriedly saluted.

Back in Ningyuan, there was no one in the familiar gazebo, Tianci quickly went to the room, and with Qin'er's help, she was grooming.After staying in the holy mausoleum for a full month, the beard on Tianci's face grew long.Qin'er dipped a towel in hot water and gently applied it to Tianci's face, took out the razor and helped Tianci clean it carefully.

Taking out new clothes and putting them on, Tianci immediately restored his former handsomeness.

Tianci hugged Qin'er gently, feeling the warmth, smelling the familiar fragrance of hair, "I'm sorry for making you worry about this month!"

Qin'er's heart was warm, she stretched her arms around Tianci's neck, and closed her eyes shyly.

When the Silver Armored Guards came to the square of the Duke's Mansion with neat steps, Tianci was already fully dressed and waiting at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

In the Palace of Qinzheng at this time, Nero was sitting on the seat of the regent, and the seats of the assistant regents on both sides had already been removed.Nero glared at the four people below.

"How can this be? Ministers, officials, what do you think, can you recommend a person who has not married the princess to be the crown prince?" One of them was full of surprise.

"That's right, even if it's His Majesty's bloodline, it's not his turn. The four of us are already married to the princess and have children, so we must choose among the four of us!"

"Let's go to Lord Saint for comment. After all, the crown prince must have a bloodline. You can't say whoever has a high official position can be appointed!"

. . . . . .

All the officials didn't know what to say at this time. It was a sudden surprise to make Niro the crown prince, but it was just following the trend.Now the husbands and sons-in-law of the four princesses stand up and complain, but they can't say anything for a while!

Although the governors of Shangsi know the truth, they can't say it.The entire continent cannot be announced. The wisest majesty in the history of the empire was not born to the king himself.

"Governors, all of you have to judge. Even if the crown prince is established, he is our heir by blood. Why appoint a person who has nothing to do with the royal family, and let him inherit the name of Ai Xin?" One of them ran to Said in front of the governors.

"Is this..." the governors hesitated.

"Your Majesty did not establish a crown prince during his lifetime, so the selection of the heir is naturally decided by the Holy One. If you think there is anything wrong, you can ask the Holy One!" Marquis Dolan said disdainfully.

"You..." His face twitched.

Let them go to Lord Saint, they don't have the guts!
"Want to know why? Let me tell you!" At this moment, there was an angry shout from outside the hall.

Everyone turns around
Tianci strode in, accompanied by Gauss and Chen Mist.Although today's Tianci has no official position, this robe with the Duke's logo embroidered in gold is particularly conspicuous.

The four princess husbands involuntarily stood together.

The officials nodded, and even the governor Shangji who sat in the front row stood up.Duke Meister also stood up and smiled at Tianci. If he put down his official position and only talked about his title, no one in the Qinzheng Palace would be able to compare with Tianci!
Tianci walked to the front, looked at Nero who was sitting high on it, and saluted with a slight smile, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

In the empire, the king is the most respected, and the next is the crown prince, and princes and the like are not among them.Therefore, anyone who meets the king must address him as His Majesty, and anyone who meets the Crown Prince must address him as His Highness!
Nero's heavy face eased, and he signaled Tianci to sit in the position of minister of state affairs, Gauss guarded the door, and morning mist entered the ranks of generals.Akas stood in the middle of the ranks of generals with a silent expression on his face, and the generals around him no longer got close to him, keeping a distance intentionally or unintentionally.

Tianci did not sit down, but looked around at all the officials, and then fixed his eyes on the four princesses and their husbands.The sharp gaze made the four of them tremble involuntarily.Tianci withdrew his gaze and turned to Nero, "His Royal Highness, I heard the fierce quarrel outside the door just now. I don't know what is the important political issue. Can you let me know?"

Nero smiled slightly, "Actually, it's nothing. These four good brother-in-laws of mine have been wanting to know why I became the crown prince these days, not the four of them or their heirs!"

Tianci nodded and faced the four princess husbands.

"That's right, we just don't accept it. The four of us have been married to the princess for many years, but he hasn't even been engaged. Why should he be the crown prince?"

"That's right, didn't you talk about bloodlines? Our heirs have the bloodlines of the royal family, and even if Niro and Luna are married, it's hard to say whether they have any heirs! Why..."

"Presumptuous!" Tianci let out a rage before he finished speaking, and everyone in the hall trembled in fright. "What did you just say? Is the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still called by you now? Whether you accept it or not, in short, today he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." , His name is not something you can shout about. This alone is enough to put you to death!"

"I... I just made a slip of the tongue, I..."

"Hmph!" Tianci snorted coldly, "Where is the imperial guard, pull him out and punish the thirty court sticks!"

After a while there is no movement!
Tianci looked around from the corner of his eyes, all the generals in the military department were very indifferent, especially Tesker looked at the top of the hall.

"Hehe, it seems that I really can't use the Imperial Guard!" Tianci laughed at himself and looked at Nero, who was also very helpless.Tianci went to the generals of the military headquarters, looked at them one by one, and finally walked in front of Gauss at the entrance of the main hall, "Gauss, when I came just now, all the silver armored guards of the Duke's Mansion have been transferred from the outer barracks into the city, and now they are at the gate of the palace, a total of 5000 people , you go and bring them in now, and replace all the imperial guards in the palace!"

"Yes!" Gauss took the order and walked out of the hall.

The faint words shook the entire hall like a bolt from the blue, and all the officials were shocked!Especially the generals of the military department.Tesker jumped out even more anxiously, "His Royal Highness, the imperial guards are concerned about the stability of the capital and the safety of the palace, how can they be replaced casually? What's more, these can only be mobilized by the military department or His Majesty. You are only a duke by God. You have no right to mobilize our Janissaries, let alone replace them!"

Godsend glanced at Taisk, "Special method in special period! Your imperial guards are temporarily responsible for the security of the capital, and the guarding of the palace is currently handed over to Gauss and Silver Armored Guards! This is personally agreed by Rafael Saint, you still have What do you say?"

Tesker backed away in a suffocation.

Tianci walked in front of the four princess husbands, "Don't you really want to know why the Lord Sage chose His Highness the Crown Prince instead of you? Well, I will ask each of you a question. If you can answer it, we can reconsider you. If you can't answer, just go back and stay for me honestly!"

Having escaped the court stick just now, the four of them all looked at Tianci with trepidation at this moment.

Tianci walked up to the first person, "Let me ask you, how many provinces are there in the empire?"

"Haha, I thought you were asking something, of course there are only ten provinces in the empire!"

Tianci snorted coldly, "Don't worry, I haven't finished asking, besides the provinces, how many cities, towns, populations, and annual incomes are there in the empire?"

The first person's eyes widened immediately, and he faltered.

Tianci smiled contemptuously, and looked at the second person, "There are fourteen divisions under the empire. What are the responsibilities and rights of each division? How many people are there in each division? They are responsible for which part? Where are the legions deployed separately, and which general will lead them?"

"This... this..."

Godsend ignored it, and went to the next person. "The empire has a vast land and abundant resources, but there are also constant natural disasters! How to deal with snowstorms, floods, droughts, floods, and earthquakes and subsidences? The empire uses troops all year round, how to use them, how to use them?"

"I..."

"As an emperor, a hundred officials must be used to manage a huge empire. I ask you how to employ people and how to select officials? What kind of people can be used and what kind of people can't be used? Do you understand how each person should be used and where they should be used? ?”

"I..."

Seeing the faltering of the four people, all the officials cast disdainful glances.

"The four of you are the husbands-in-law of the princess, and each of you has a profound background. You have been pampered and privileged since childhood, and you don't know anything about the sufferings of the people and the cumbersome affairs of the government. Let me ask, how can people like you become the new king of the empire? If you The crown prince is entrusted to you, are you doing well?" Tianci asked coldly, and the four lowered their heads in shame, "If the crown prince is entrusted to you, I am afraid that we will be the eternal sinners of the empire, and His Majesty will not forgive us !"

"Then... then can he do it? Can you be sure that he can answer it too?" The four argued.

"The top ten provinces of the empire, there are a total of 520 cities and 44 towns..." Nero, who had been sitting above, stood up and said gracefully.

Nero has been handling government affairs with Duke Kate in the Ministry of Government Affairs since he was 12 years old. Over the years, he has a thorough understanding of the various functions of the Ministry of Government Affairs, no matter how big or small, and it is very rare to say it.Even the officials of the Ministry of Government Affairs below nodded in praise.Not only the common sense of the Ministry of Government Affairs, but also the common sense of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The officials of the Manchu Dynasty, including the seven marquis governors, were also ashamed and sighed!
After Nero finished answering the four questions and returned to his seat, it had been more than an hour. All the officials listened carefully, savored carefully, and nodded frequently to benefit a lot!
Tianci smiled at Nero appreciatively, and looked back at the four of them, "How is it? Do you have anything else to say?"

The four of them were so ashamed that they really wanted to find a crack in the ground and sneak in!

"If there is nothing else, you can go back, we still need a court meeting!" Tianci said coldly.

The four of them still dared to stay, and hurried out of the hall.

Tianci nodded towards Nero, "His Royal Highness, you can continue the court discussion now. I don't know what we are talking about today?"

Ni Luo smiled, "We are discussing the vacancies of some positions today!"

Tianci seemed to have thought of something suddenly, "His Royal Highness, do I have a word that I don't know what to say?"

"Say!"

"Today is the court meeting, discussing important matters of the empire. But I don't know why the four princesses and their husbands appeared in the hall to disrupt the government. They have neither official positions nor high nobles. How did they pass the heavy supervision of the imperial guards? "Tianci asked.

All the officials were stunned at the same time, and turned all their eyes to Tesker, the commander of the Imperial Guard!
Tesker panics "Because... because they are..."

"Tesker, as the commander of the Imperial Guard, you are probably to blame for this matter, right?"

"me..."

"His Royal Highness, I think that Tesker cannot escape the responsibility for this crime. Even if you are merciful and don't pursue his crimes, I am afraid that he is no longer suitable to be the commander of the Imperial Guard! Minister Bao Zuo Gauss as the commander of the Imperial Guard , to protect the safety of the palace and the safety of the capital!"
