Extraordinary Profession: I Awakened Lord

Chapter 155 The prince stayed in Aachen?

At this time, the Frankish capital was Aachen.

The sun is scorching, and the blazing sunshine shines unbridled on all living things on the continent of Safa. The breeze in late spring has been driven away by the hot weather, and the hot weather has made the originally noisy streets extremely quiet.

The people of the Frankish Kingdom, bathed in the scorching sun, did not go out, but hid at home, looking for that piece of coolness.As for the nobles, they took out ice cubes from the ice cellar stored in winter to cool off the heat.

And at this moment, a violent quarrel broke out in the extremely solemn palace.

"Why hasn't Marshal Damian returned the favor? Does he want to betray the Frankish Kingdom?"

The old king Philip II looked even older after this blow. He hunched his body and sat on the noble throne, trying hard to show off his elegance. Unfortunately, his old body was no longer as young as his. The majesty of time.

Looking at the two parties arguing below, the old King Philip II wanted to mediate, but because he was worried about the Frankish Kingdom, he had no more energy to take care of this matter.

Everyone is equal in the face of time. Even he, Philip II, the monarch of the Frankish Kingdom, still avoids being washed away by the years of his brave body, high spirit, and seemingly inexhaustible energy.

The old King Philip II is no longer young, he does not have so much energy, and the years have left too many scars on his body. He originally had war support, but the orcs suddenly attacked the western region of the Frankish Kingdom, and even more In just a few days, they broke through five lines of defense in the western region.

This blow was too serious.And without the support of his will, the old King Philip II was already aging rapidly. He clearly felt that his body was not as good as before.

He was angry, he was afraid, he was confused, he was at a loss for words...

The old King Philip II has now calmly accepted the reality that he is about to die, but he cannot die yet because he is not sure about handing over the Frankish Kingdom to his son. Therefore, he is still holding on, he wants to Peacefully hand over a prosperous and powerful Frankish Kingdom to the next monarch of the Frankish Kingdom.

Unfortunately, reality hit him hard.Nowadays, it is too difficult for the Frankish Kingdom to prosper. Therefore, he lowered his goal and chose to hand over a complete Frankish Kingdom to his successor.

Therefore, he would never allow himself to die until there was an armistice between the Frankish Kingdom and the Orcs.Because his son, a mediocre Frankish monarch, was even more unlikely to be able to safely control the Frankish kingdom during such a dangerous period.

foreign enemy?House thief!
The old king muttered these two words silently in his heart. He was no longer interested in the quarrels below, because they were quarreling every day without any substantive measures.

"Marshal Damian will not betray the Frankish Kingdom! Are you slandering the marshal! You idiot, with so many soldiers, he is not one person, let alone 100 people, he is more than 20 people! So many people and supplies, can you come back if you want? Don’t you know how far the western region is from Aachen? You idiot, you only know how to slander people, and you only know how to talk! Other than these, you What else are you going to do? His Majesty the King, raising a pig is much more useful than you, at least the pig can be killed for meat? And you? It will only waste the money and time of the Frankish Kingdom! You should die!"

"Well said, what you said is really great! I really don't know how such a stupid guy could be a subject of the Frankish Kingdom with us. What else can you do besides talking? You proposed Have you given any effective advice? No! You haven’t! You can only blame others and slander others! Because only in this way can idiots like you have room to survive!"

The noble who was being ridiculed suddenly became anxious. He blushed and cursed at the two young nobles just now:
"You despicable low-class people! Even if you get the chance to become a noble, it can't change the fact that you were born in a humble way! Do you know what you are doing? You actually insulted a noble noble! You deserve to die!"

"Tara! You shouldn't be like this. Even if you have an argument, you can't insult Sir Philip! And we are both nobles. Look at Sir Philip, and then look at you? Don't be so uneducated!"

"Hehehe, I can't scold that fat man! And can that damn fat man insult Marshal Damian? If that fat man didn't slander Marshal Damian, how could I insult him?"

"Hahaha, I'm really curious. Didn't you see it when that fat guy slandered Marshal Damian just now? Or are you selectively blind? If it's useful to you, you'll see it. But if it's not useful to you, you'll see it. Do you choose not to see it when you use it? If so? Then you are a blind person! Oh! No! This insults this group... I'm sorry!"

"You...you..."

"Your Majesty, look! What are Tara and the others doing? They are insulting Sir Philip..."

"Okay! Shut up!"

The old King Philip II finally couldn't bear it any longer. He held on to his fatigue and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"That's enough! Didn't you hear what I said? Or do you think I'm old and can no longer give you orders?"

The old King Philip II was like an angry lion at this time. Although he was already very old, the threat of death was still there, not to mention that the old King Philip II was still alive.

Therefore, when he opened his mouth, he immediately frightened the ministers below into silence, especially the noble who just spoke. At this time, he had already thought of the ruthless methods of Philip II in his youth, and his whole body They couldn't help but tremble.

Looking at the ministers below who were sweating coldly, the old King Philip II snorted coldly and sat down slowly. He glanced below and asked in a flat tone:
"Prime Minister Gnaeus, how is the matter of moving the capital going?"

Duke Gnaeus Pompeii slowly exhaled a breath, walked forward in a few steps, then saluted the old King Philip II and said:

"Replying to His Majesty the King, we have almost taken care of it! I have moved all the residents in the city who can move away, and I have also mobilized reinforcements from nearby cities. As for the city where the capital is to be moved, I have also moved Write and contact us! They will come to pick you up, His Majesty the King!"

Seeing Prime Minister Gnaeus talking, the nobleman who had just angered the old King Philip II had a hint of envy in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself and looked at the man who was listening carefully. The old King Philip II, a somewhat obese nobleman, felt a huge weight drop in his heart. He secretly took out a delicate handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

After a while, the delicate handkerchief was already covered with sweat. He put away the handkerchief with a little disgust. Feeling the hot weather, the fat noble couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.

"This damn weather! Could it be that you want to heat me to death! And those bastards insulted me! Hmph!"

Just as the fat nobleman was muttering dissatisfied, the old King Philip II had nodded frequently, obviously recognizing Prime Minister Gnaeus' ability.

"Gnaeus, you arranged it very well! I am very satisfied!"

Listening to the praise of the old king Philip II, Prime Minister Gnaeus didn't take it seriously. After all, he had heard enough such praises since he became the prime minister of the Frankish Kingdom.

However, out of respect for the royal power and respect for the old King Philip II, Prime Minister Gnaeus still slightly bowed his head to accept the praise of the old King Philip II.

"Thank you for your compliment! My King! But..."

The old king Philip II raised his eyebrows. He hated people who didn't finish their words. But thinking that the other party was Gnaeus, he was no longer angry. After all, the two of them had been cooperating for a long time. Therefore, he knew that the things that could make Gnaeus even suspicious were definitely not that simple.

Therefore, the old King Philip II quickly straightened his body. He looked at Prime Minister Gnaeus who was hesitant to speak, and steeled himself and said:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me! Gnaeus, we have been the two kings and ministers for so many years. As long as what you say is reasonable, I will consider it and agree to it!"

Prime Minister Gnaeus sighed, but still forced a smile and said:

"Thank you, my majesty, I believe in your decision! Then I said, if you want to move the capital, who do you choose for the royal children who stay in Aachen?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder, which directly shocked the ministers in the hall. They all stared at Prime Minister Gnaeus in disbelief, but soon, their expressions changed to Chancellor Gnaeus.

You know, the old King Philip II has two sons and one daughter. The eldest prince Victor is the prince that the old king is worried about. As the eldest prince of the Frankish Kingdom, Victor is already 21 years old at this time, but his ruling His ability is very low, and he is not recognized by the great nobles in the kingdom.

As for the second prince Juan, although he is still young, he has been extremely intelligent since he was a child and is deeply loved by all the nobles in the kingdom. Unfortunately, he is too young, only eight years old, so although Juan is It was loved by the old King Philip II and many nobles.

However, the old King Philip II will definitely not pass on the throne to him, because he is too young, and the old King Philip II is running out of time.This is also what the nobles in the kingdom lamented.

Because they believed that Juan would be a wise monarch, and under his leadership, the Kingdom of Franks would surely become stronger. Unfortunately, Juan was too young, and the old king Philip II was running out of time.

Therefore, this group of nobles knew that the old King Philip II would not pass the throne to Juan because he was too young. If the throne was passed to him, there would inevitably be an auxiliary minister, and the Frankish Kingdom would There will be a hollow phase in the power of the royal family, which is not allowed by the old King Philip II.

Moreover, if the throne is passed on to Juan, then Victor will definitely not be satisfied, and then it will be another big drama of fratricide.

As for Princess Danny, she is already 12 years old. She is Juan's sister of the same father and mother. Although she is still young, she has a beautiful face and is called the crown rose of the Frankish Kingdom.

All the ministers in the court were already trying their best to tighten their figures. They lowered their heads and kept silent, for fear that the old King Philip II would vent his anger on them. There were even a few nobles who were wiping their sweat. At this time, everyone had silently put away their handkerchiefs.

And in this tense atmosphere, the old king Philip II had a gloomy face. He sat on the throne without saying a word, staring at Gnaeus below like a lion.

Prime Minister Gnaeus did not retreat. Instead, he calmly argued with the old king Philip II. In the face of major right and wrong, Gnaeus would never give in. This is why he was able to command the respect of the ministers and the old king. A big reason why King Philip II recognized it.

But it is for this reason that the old King Philip II is now forced to retreat. In the vision of the old King Philip II, the eldest prince cannot stay, and the second prince is reluctant to stay. At that time, he canonized a royal family member as a prince. , guarding the city of Aachen on behalf of the princes.

But now, the idea of ​​the old king Philip II was broken by Prime Minister Gnaeus, who was very angry and powerless.

Because Gnaeus is really thinking about the Frankish Kingdom, even if he is not willing to accept this, but this cannot discredit Gnaeus' love for the Frankish Kingdom.

The nobles in the court felt the fierce atmosphere between the two sides, and all of them broke out in cold sweat. However, there were still some nobles who looked at Prime Minister Gnaeus with great respect.

There may be some idiots who can become nobles, but there will definitely be no fools, and most of them will be elites, so they know the consequences of what Prime Minister Gnaeus said.

Of course, he also knew the purpose of Prime Minister Gnaeus saying this. Originally, he didn't have to say this, and no one would be dissatisfied.

However, for the sake of the Frankish Kingdom, Prime Minister Gnaeus still said that even though this would offend the old King Philip II, he was still determined to point out what the old King Philip II was unwilling to face.

"Huh~" The old king Philip II took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. He glanced at Gnaeus below expressionlessly, and said calmly:

"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, just leave!"

The old King Philip II did not choose to answer this question, but changed the subject.

Prime Minister Gnaeus just frowned. He wanted to ask again, but thinking about the age of the old King Philip II, he sighed in his heart, nodded, and retreated.

"Whoo~"
