Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

"Is there tea?"

"Anatole——"

"Yes, yes, yes - please."

The Imperial Marshal ordered his son to pour tea for Qiao Yelan, and the Lieutenant General handed over the teacup respectfully.

Kosice looked at the scene and felt it was a bit magical.

At noon, Qiao Yelan was still an unknown person. Anatoly had been giving him a cold shoulder and confronting him head-on. Now, he was being directed by his father to pour tea for Qiao Yelan.

It must be said that although Anatoly is a stubborn kid, he seems to be able to listen to what others say.

After taking a sip of tea, Qiao Yelan cleared his throat and started talking about the next topic.

"I have another question. Speaker Witte told me that they are going to mobilize a star Sarkaz officer. The troops under his command are also elite and they are very sympathetic to the infected. I really want to know who he is. Do I know him?"

"General who always wins, Sarkaz officer, sympathizes with the infected..."

Nicholas thought about it and found that there really was such a person.

"Yes, you also know him - [Patriot]."

"Huh? Who?"

"Ahem, that's Bodracasti."

Qiao Yelan was stunned for a moment, recalled the support list, and this time remembered who the other party was.

"So it was him... As a pure-blooded Wendigo, no wonder he was an ever-victorious general and sympathized with the infected - didn't he leave the army afterwards?"

"He also applied to be stationed in the north, but he was married to a woman and had a son, so he obviously couldn't go to the north with her. Therefore, the late emperor still retained his military rank in the army, paid him a salary as usual, and did not deprive him of the troops he led. Instead, he was allowed to continue to serve as his personal soldiers."

Nicholas explained.

"I see - but this is even more convenient. Help me find out where Witt has transferred the other party to. I will personally go and convince them to cooperate with us."

"no problem."

Now all preparations are ready. It's time to reveal the truth about this catastrophe of infected people caused by provocation and deception.

"When can you arrange a meeting with His Majesty for me?"

"If your Majesty has nothing else to do, we should be able to meet tomorrow afternoon."

"Then I will go back and wait for your good news."

"Why don't you stay the night at my place?"

Nicholas insisted.

"No, that won't do. If I'm going to convince Witt, it's important that I remain neutral - I don't want to be labeled now."

Qiao Yelan rejected the invitation, and seeing this, Nicholas did not try to persuade her to stay.

"I will arrange for Yefim to be the liaison between us. If you need anything, just contact him."

"Ok."

Looking at Qiao Yelan being pushed away, Nicholas turned his attention to his son.

"Father—I..."

"Forget it, I took it for granted. You have been smart since you were young, but it is still too much to ask you to get involved in politics. Although this has not happened yet, you must remember that this is your shame!"

Nicholas waved his hand and sighed.

"Go back and make preparations. After this is over, I will arrange for you to be in charge of the reconstruction of the Sixth Army Group. The Sixth Army Group is a shameful designation. You and your troops must wash away this shame. Do you understand?"

"I understand, father. Please let me handle this matter. I will remember the shame of being used this time, and I will also remember the mistakes I made towards the people."

Anatoly took over the task with a determined look in his eyes.

------------------------------------------------

Qiao Yelan was pushed into the car, closed his eyes, and began to relax his mind.

[Are you free now? ]

"Grand Duke Kosice, can't you bear to see me idle? Why didn't you ask all your questions at once just now?"

Qiao Yelan yawned and didn't even want to open his eyes.

[Nikola still has high expectations for Fyodor, so I don't want to deliberately create discord - are you so sure that you can convince the emperor to trust you after you meet him? Don't forget that he chose Witte as his support and relies on him very much.]

"You're being ridiculous. Tell me, who else can Fyodor trust besides Witte?"

"Because of the Great Rebellion, Nicholas had to stand up to maintain the fragile relationship between the military and the nobility. The Ministry of Justice suffered a heavy blow, and the Ministry of Labor is too low in status. Doesn't this leave only Witt as the only person left to choose?"

[No, I'm not saying that there's something wrong with his choice of people. What I'm saying is that when the other party trusts Witte so much, how can you convince him to change his mind and trust Nicholas, and how can you make him pay more attention to guard against the civil service group? ]

Kosice immediately began to explain.

"No, why should I ask him to trust Nicholas? And why should I ask him to beware of the civil service group?"

Qiao Yelan's voice was still lazy.

[You don't intend to persuade the emperor to favor Nicholas? ]

"How? Do you want to guess why the emperor would accept Nicholas' confrontation with him? And why are people not surprised by this?"

[Because...because Nicholas is his elder? ]

"No, it's because Nicholas has the claim to the throne, and Witte doesn't - so the emperor can't and won't trust Nicholas more, because the other party is really qualified to bring him down."

"As for the latter question - as an emperor, if he can't see the ambitions of his subordinates and can't take any precautions, then he shouldn't lead the Ursus Empire. Let Nicholas prepare to replace him."

These words not only answered Kosice's doubts, but also made Black Snake have deeper doubts.

【So what are you going to do when you go to see the emperor? 】

Testimonials

It's time to see the truth again...

The performance of this book is considered good. It would be a blessing if it could get a thousand first orders. But to be honest, if it really could get a thousand, the ratio of first orders to collections might be the best among my three books (sad).

There is not much more to say. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can definitely finish it. One book will cost one million, and the other one will cost one million and six hundred thousand.

After it is put on the shelves, each chapter of this book will be 4000 words, because long chapters are comfortable to write and can allow me to complete a train of thought relatively completely.

So don't ask the author why I update once a day. I wrote 2000 free chapters because many people don't look at the number of pages but only the number of chapters. When they see that I have 30 chapters, they think it's just the beginning, but in fact, my word count is enough to be published...

I didn’t mention this in my previous book, and I directly changed it to 4000. As a result, it was quite difficult to maintain. Some people even scolded me for only updating once a day after it was put on the shelves.

As for adding more chapters after the book is put on the shelves, I can only say that I tried my best. To write this kind of book I have to go over it in my mind, write it once, and then also pay attention to the plot and foreshadowing in the context. I really can't be fast, so please bear with me.

So I don’t have the face to offer any bounty.

I will definitely add one more chapter when it goes online tomorrow, but it will probably be a little late.

In addition, the day of listing is the first day, so please give some free recommendations, monthly tickets and blades. If you are happy to read it, you can give rewards. Thank you very much for your support.

Chapter 56: Reverse Flaw

[You are not going to tell the emperor to beware of Witte, nor are you going to say a few good words for Nicholas, so why did you go to see him? ]

Kosice asked in a strange tone.

"I'm going to cause trouble for our Speaker. He plays political games with the nobles and the military, who are all brainless. He thinks he's pretty cool, right? I'm just going to give him some strength."

Qiao Yelan snorted and lowered the back of his chair a little.

[Increase strength? But didn't you say that there was no need to tell the emperor about this? ]

"Of course not - let me ask you a question, Grand Duke Kosice. Do you think Witte went to help the emperor seize power, or did he want to gain some power?"

[Of course it's the latter. ]

"now it's right."

【What is this? 】

"Witt said he was assisting the emperor, but in fact, he was still sharing the emperor's power - but I am different. I am not sharing the emperor's power, but helping the emperor to seize power."

A sneer appeared on the man's lips.

"The reason why I want to meet Fyodor is to let him taste the sweetness of power. Then when he sees Witte again, he will subconsciously compare him with me - who is more loyal, me or Witte?"

【...】

"That's exactly what's going on. It's not a good idea to always ask the emperor to support Witte. I have to coax this son of a tiger father. Really, as an emperor of Ursus, he doesn't want to work with the military to violently attack the nobles of Hongru who are still playing slavery, and follows the civil officials to play politics... What's wrong with his brain?"

【......Qiao Yelan. 】

"Any more questions?"

[I want to ask, are you willing to renew the contract and let me be your bodyguard for a while longer? ]

"What's going on?"

[I want to learn more - if you want, I can also call you teacher]

------------------------------------------------

"Your humble servant Qiao Yelan pays respect to Your Majesty - please forgive my rudeness."

"It doesn't matter. Being respectful or not has nothing to do with etiquette."

The young emperor looked at Qiao Yelan with sharp eyes.

"Grand Duke Nicholas said he had something important to discuss with me, so he wanted to meet me - but I didn't expect that the person who came was a stranger."

"The outside world is full of undercurrents, and inevitably there are more eyes staring at Your Highness, so Your Highness has no choice but to let me, a newcomer to the imperial capital, come to meet His Majesty."

Qiao Yelan explained respectfully.

"An undercurrent is surging...but this undercurrent is closely related to my uncle."

"Your Majesty has a keen eye. This is why His Royal Highness the Grand Duke wants to discuss this with Your Majesty. Anatoly's plan must be stopped."

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly.

What Qiao Yelan said was beyond his expectations.

"Stop it? Isn't the emperor's uncle supporting it behind the scenes?"

"Your Majesty, His Highness's original plan was to use the infected's physical condition to develop minerals for the empire in the bitter cold land. He never expected that his son would be bewitched by the treacherous words and come up with such a heartless plan!"

"When Your Highness found out, it was already too late to regret. Fortunately, this plan has not yet been implemented, so there is still room for remedy. That is why I am eager to advise Your Majesty through me that this plan must be stopped immediately."

Fyodor said nothing.

To be honest, he was quite surprised when he first heard about this. After all, it was completely unexpected that his uncle's son could come up with such a plan.

However, after this plan was submitted, Witt suggested to him that he should pretend to be ignorant and wait until the plan was launched before taking action. This would not only suppress the military, but also win the favor of the infected.

The emperor did not refuse. After all, this was indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone. This plan would greatly lower the image of the military in the eyes of the people and would also help suppress the possibility of Nicholas ascending the throne.

But now it’s not impossible for Nikola to stop - it just depends on the other party’s sincerity.

"Grand Duke Nicholas feels that his son must be properly disciplined. And His Highness is already old and his energy is limited. Therefore, he wants to hand over the control of the First Army to Your Majesty - this was once His Majesty Vladimir's personal army, and it is most appropriate for Your Majesty to be in charge."

Fyodor's hands, which were originally resting on the chair, suddenly clenched, and then relaxed again - unfortunately such a cover-up did not escape Qiao Yelan's eyes.

After a long silence, the emperor spoke again.

"I believe that the emperor's uncle is a loyal man, and his son would never come up with such a plan. It seems that the treacherous man is really vicious! He actually wants to make money by slaughtering people. Who is this person? I will kill him as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty, please be aware that this person is none other than the Imperial Police Chief, Major General Valery Gordev! He has been colluding with the nobles and secretly helping them to wash away countless crimes. He is clearly a person who enforces the law, but he openly uses the law to profit with others."

Qiao Yelan was filled with indignation.

"I understand. This man deserves to die. When there is irrefutable evidence, I will personally order his arrest."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

The man bowed again respectfully.

"His Highness the Grand Duke once said that a major general who came from the military had committed such a heinous crime and even openly colluded with the nobles. As a soldier, he felt ashamed. From now on, this position should be decided by your Majesty, and the candidate does not need to be selected from the military. It should be a talented person!"

The emperor's eyes lit up again. It seemed that Nicholas was going to spend a huge amount of money to save his son this time, even giving up the position of police chief.
