"The matter of the grand ceremony is progressing slowly. I asked many ministers of court etiquette who used to preside over the old etiquette, but when they heard me ask about this matter, they were dodging and sick, and they were unwilling to help." Jackson reported to Lao Yuan Hui.

"There's no rush. The imperial capital still needs to be consolidated. People's hearts are initially determined. Naturally, they don't want to express too much."

"What's more, there was a fire in the summer palace a few days ago, and they all suspected that I did it, so they avoided me even more, and everyone regarded me as Cao Mengde." Lao Yuan said indifferently.

"Your Highness, Cao Mengde? Such a strange name, what country is he from?" Jackson asked curiously.

"He is the ancestor of my country." Old Yuan replied with a sideways look.

"That must be a king through the ages, so that he can be compared with your Highness." Jackson complimented.

"Hahaha, Jackson, you are so flattering me!" Lao Yuan put down the document and laughed.

"Compared with Cao Mengde, I can't stand shoulder to shoulder. I'm far behind him, so we can't compare." Lao Yuan said with a smile.

"However, I... um, now alone, I do have the same status as Cao Mengde." Old Yuan said to himself again.

"It's for them to rest assured that there is naturally a solution." Old Yuan continued to Jackson seriously.

"Bring a pen. When I write a letter, asking His Majesty to confer titles and rewards on the characters, they will naturally be willing to calm down for a while and submit even more."

291 Fire of the Summer Palace

"How does Your Highness plan to award the reward?" Jackson quickly stood up and went to the desk beside him to get paper, pen and ink and asked Lao Yuan.

"The ministers and nobles must be rewarded, but they must not exceed the reward. Everything is measured. If you feed them at this time, it will be difficult to suppress, and it will make them less scruples. But if the reward is too small, then they Then I feel that rewards and punishments are unfair, and I also feel that I don’t care about them, and it’s even worse." Lao Yuan shook his head again and said.

"Then, I will not bother His Highness, and will not distract His Highness." Jackson bowed and said.

"It's okay, it's also great for you to give me some ideas." Old Yuan smiled and said.

"Well, write about the people in the department first." Lao Yuan picked up the quill pen and flicked his sleeves, then pinched the pen to suck up the ink and wrote on the paper.

"And, the commanders-in-chief of the various armies and the members of the parliament, in total, should be rewarded by His Majesty." Lao Yuan read while writing.

"The head of the Obiagen Legion, General Roy Zhang, a viscount, and a lieutenant general, the fief is set in the central province near the city, with a hundred acres of land, gold, silver and jewelry rewards. His younger brother, his father, can all Serve in the imperial capital, and give General Roy the right to recommend officers." Lao Yuan said.

"Roy represents the interests of many low-level aristocratic officers, so he should not be taken lightly. When the empire is unified in the future, he will be named the earl general, which is an explanation." Lao Yuan nodded.

"General Baizhen Dale led more than [-] people and led a division of the newly formed Tenth Army to station at the border to prevent chaos. He has made great achievements. He is now an earl and promoted to general. The fief will be set in Luo Podi in the future Ya, anyone in the family can be an official, and it is endowed with the right to recommend officers."

"Stationed in the Eastern Central Province of the headquarters, General Angry Griffin, who commanded the remaining Tenth Army, was granted the title of Viscount, and his rank was promoted to Lieutenant General. In addition, he was appointed as the dean of the Military Academy. He planned to recruit officers. The fief will be scheduled in the future East area."

"Why do you want to give the important task of the dean of General Angorie Academy?" Jackson asked suspiciously.

"Angourui sent military officers to support me on behalf of the college in the early years. If an outsider is appointed as the dean, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. It is best for him to take the position." Lao Yuan said casually.

"The rest, the two brothers Alcun Keith and Alcun Keith, who are in charge of the Emperor Polo Army and the Kunganir Army, are busy with training and have made great achievements. The elder brother is named Viscount, the younger is named Baron, and the rank is promoted to Major General In wartime, he is treated as a lieutenant general. In addition, his son can be hereditary as an army, and he will be a general."

"Is there any more?" Lao Yuan asked.

"That's all." Jackson nodded and replied.

"Really?" Lao Yuan asked again with a smile.

"It's true that there are only these five generals and a few congressmen, nothing else." Jackson said again.

"Hahaha, Jackson, have you forgotten yourself?" Old Yuan laughed.

"Your Highness, I would like to be His Royal Highness's retainer, serve for generations, and become a king's servant, not an emperor's." Jackson stood up quickly and bowed.

"How can it be? Jackson, you have trained the Leviathan Legion and Chimera Legion for me. You have already made great contributions. How could you not be rewarded?" Lao Yuan said.

"You are my most trusted vassal. If you are granted a high position because of this, I am afraid that other people will not be convinced. Do you understand?" Lao Yuan said again.

"I don't have the slightest complaint even if there is no reward." Jackson said hastily.

"Jackson, Frederick Jackson (Sen), has followed the army for many years and made great achievements. He was named a baron, his rank was extended to a major general, and he was entrusted with [-] acres of land. His descendants can serve in the army or serve in the Winter Palace." Yuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Jackson knelt down and said.

"Jackson, you are still a baron now, and your title may be relatively low, not very high. But in the future, if the world is peaceful, your title will definitely not be limited to this." Old Yuan said frankly.

"In the future, you and General Bozhen will both be princes with different surnames in our empire. I will appoint General Bozhen in Ropotia, and you will be princes in the northern border, guarding the north. I don't have to trust others, but I will never trust you. I have to trust you two. You followed me through life and death all the way to the present, and General Bo Zhen gave me advice and helped me get rid of many troubles. Without your help, I would never have made it to where I am today." Lao Yuan pressed Jackson hand said.

"Your Highness, Jackson, don't dare to forget." Jackson said excitedly.

"There are a lot of things going on in the imperial capital now, you have to take precautions and choose someone who can command the troops for you as soon as possible. If possible, call your family members to come too, no matter if it is your younger brother or anyone else. I am now in charge of Hyperion myself The old department and the Grand Knights are really weak at the same time. You can have a younger brother, or a father, brother, nephew, or nephew." Lao Yuan said to Jackson.

"The family used to be poor. In the past, there were a few brothers and sisters, but they all lost contact and heard nothing from them." Jackson replied with a dry smile.

"Well, after all, the world is difficult, and there is nothing we can do about it." Lao Yuan nodded and said.

"The thing about the summer palace..."

Just as Lao Yuan was about to say a few more words, he suddenly frowned, covered his forehead, and supported the table with his hands.Jackson was so frightened that he quickly supported Lao Yuan and took him back to the sofa to rest.Recently, Jackson has seen this situation many times. Lao Yuan often suffers from headaches when talking about it. He has also seen many doctors for this disease, but it has not improved. Ask Lao Yuan carefully what is wrong with him. I don't even want to say it, it's really weird.

"It's okay, it's just that the medicine is strong and the mind is confused." Lao Yuan said while lying on the sofa and waving his hands.

"Your Highness, what disease are you suffering from that is so severe?" Jackson asked nervously.

"It's a mental illness." Lao Yuan replied after pondering for a moment.

"In order to heal my spirit, I specially asked for a secret medicine for treatment. The occasional headache and drowsiness are all due to this. After a few years, I will probably completely get better."

"Your Highness, why don't you ask the court doctor to treat you, and ask them to prescribe a medicine to neutralize it? To relieve the symptoms?" Jackson said.

"It's not good, I'm still taking this medicine, wouldn't it be a conflict to prescribe another medicine?" Lao Yuan hesitated.

"It only treats headaches and relieves headaches, and will not conflict with the disease. When I was a child, sometimes I had to see a doctor, and the doctor would prescribe a very strong medicine for me, so that I always felt uncomfortable in my body. Then they would always Prescribe another pain-neutralizing medicine at this time, so you can earn twice the money. Maybe the doctor who prescribes it for you is also like this." Jackson puzzled.

"That makes sense." Lao Yuan nodded.

"Please ask the housekeeper of the Winter Palace to help me call the imperial physician to come and treat this disease for me." Old Yuan ordered.

"Of order." Jackson stood up and said.

"You have to send someone to deal with the fire in the summer palace properly." Lao Yuan opened his eyes again and ordered.

"Look for Maxim and ask him to help suppress it. Tell Maxim that I will attend the funeral of Her Royal Highness the Queen."

"Yes." Jackson nodded and walked out.

"Oh, why should you take it so seriously when granting a seal?" Lao Yuan complained alone again.

"So that I was forced to burn the summer palace and kill the queen. These bastards are clinging to the so-called seal of the kingdom. Who knows where the seal of the kingdom is? It was chaotic that day, and I didn't know it. Why not find a needle in a haystack easily?" Lao Yuan said helplessly.

"Just wait, wait until I rule the south, you will have to submit sooner or later..."

......

The summer palace still stands, but the original white walls have been burned black, and the once beautiful garden has become dilapidated.The ministers and nobles stood in the ashes, silently watching the servants sweating profusely to rebuild the garden, unable to say a word, and kept silent.

Marshal Schvanov walked over in a military uniform with a sword in his arms. When he saw all this, he couldn't hide his anger, and he became resentful towards all this.The summer palace is the royal palace of the kingdom for 300 years, but today it is unfortunate that it was burned down by villains, and even the queen died in it.

"Why don't you say a word!" Marshal Schvanov asked the officials.

"Your Highness, is he really dead?" Marshal Shivanov asked after seeing all the officials and nobles looking at him again.

"Die with the summer palace." Minister Matvey sighed.

"Who did it? Why didn't the Grand Knights defend the palace, why didn't they rescue His Highness?" Marshal Shivanov asked even more angrily.

"Who else? Who else? Marshal Schvanov, don't ask questions knowingly! Who else can do such a crazy thing, except for His Highness who is under one person and above ten thousand?" The Viscount Slovakia disdainfully Said.

"Have you found the queen's body?" Marshal Shivanov asked again.

"It has been found. In order to prevent His Majesty from being sad, it has been buried first." Maxim's right minister replied calmly.

"Where is Knight Commander Sandora? Hasn't she always served Her Highness the Queen and never left?"

"It was said that she rushed left and right that night, rushed out of the city defenses, and left the royal city. Now His Highness has labeled her an arsonist and is arresting her." Maxim Right Minister continued.

"Oh, it's come to this point." Shivanov hammered his knees angrily.

"It's useless to regret, the queen is dead, now is not the time to be sad, but to cheer up and plan the next step." Maxim Right said coldly.

"Once the queen dies, he is afraid that we will be dissatisfied, and he will definitely become more nervous. Prime Minister, what do you think can be done to subdue him?" Minister Yefim asked with his hands spread out.

"In terms of force and magic, I'm afraid Quan Yong Dalim will not be his opponent. But in order to restrain the brave, Yong Dalim has always had a secret medicine reserved by the royal family." Maxim said.

"Who has this secret medicine?" Minister Yefim asked hastily.

"I don't know, and I can't say it." Maxim replied, scanning the crowd.

"Marshal Schvanov." Maxim whispered to Schvanov again.

"At night, I will go to the barracks to find you. We still need your help to get rid of the brave man."

292 The Second Assembly of Leszek

Sometimes, hostile forces that were originally incompatible can also become united and jointly fight against a greater enemy.For example, the bourgeois faction and the aristocratic faction who were originally at odds with each other, they originally extremely repelled each other in the imperial government, and they were willing to give up only after burying each other completely.But now, they are also willing to reluctantly join hands to fight against His Royal Highness the Brave.

His Royal Highness the Brave is playing with fire. This is the consensus of all the people. He first changed the system and changed the empire, and then proclaimed himself the regent king and poured over the government. In the end, he even had the idea of ​​replacing it altogether.This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable to both factions. Whether they are nobles or officials, they all have such a core interest, that is, they don't need powerful people to suppress them, and they can come and go as they please.They want to make sure that no one at the top dares to decide their fate. This is their fundamental idea.

The so-called national leader can be anyone, but he must not be strong.Faced with this situation, the aristocratic faction and the bourgeois faction made a rare unanimous decision to get rid of the brave first, and then compete for the winner.The brave man's intention to burn the summer palace is very obvious, that is, he really has the intention to replace him, and plans to become the emperor himself.The matter of the king granting the seal is the evasion of the two factions.It is the iron law of Yongdalim that the throne cannot be succeeded without the seal of the king, and there is no possibility of changing it.

But in fact, there is no such reason. When His Majesty Ivan succeeded to the throne, it took three years to recover the king's seal, and His Majesty Alexander directly did not have the king's seal when he succeeded to the throne.Today's praise of the king's seal is just to force the brave man not to wishful thinking.

Undercurrents surged in the imperial capital, and the situation became more and more tense.Even Lao Yuan himself felt it, and seized the time to reward many officials and nobles, and transferred back to the Hyperion Legion to station outside the imperial capital for preparations.Although all these political clouds looked very terrifying in the eyes of the people of the imperial capital, the pressure reached the extreme and was about to explode at any time.Many people in the imperial capital have even planned to leave the imperial capital, planning to stay away from the center of the vortex of power first.But in the eyes of the real upper class, this round of confrontation has temporarily come to an end with the wanton entrustment of the brave.

Many aristocrats and bourgeoisies expanded their rights because of this, so they were naturally willing to take a step back and reason with the brave.That's right, the principle of blind oppression, everyone is a reasonable person, as long as you reason with everyone and respect everyone's interests, how long you will be the regent is entirely up to you to decide.

All this may be applicable to people of other eras, and may be applicable to people from earlier eras, but it definitely does not apply to Lao Yuan.The history of Lao Yuan has already completed the late feudal period when the gentry was integrated. It is absolutely impossible for him and the noble officials to succumb and be willing to be Sima Yan.

The so-called taking a step back will result in an even more stormy offensive. Soon, the imperial capital will be full of blood and blood.

But all this gloomy has nothing to do with the Zhongnan government for the time being. In other words, the Zhongnan government doesn't care about it now, after all, they are busy with a more important matter now.The second congress of Quanyong Dalim Leszekers is about to begin. Every Leszekers and the Central South government have mobilized and are busy for this crucial meeting .

Race against time can be said to be the core of preparations for this conference.After all, the meeting time was forced to be cut in half, and Sun Boyang would go to the southeast immediately after the meeting to attend the Quanyong Dalim Progress Conference.Therefore, the preparation work for this conference is also a race against time, and if you can hurry up for 1 minute, hurry up for 1 minute.There was only five days between the announcement of the preparations for the conference and the start of the conference. If the Zhongnan government had not widely notified the whole country of the meeting time, I am afraid that this meeting would really be turned into a regional meeting by Victor.

Since last month, Leszekers, who are secretly lurking all over the country, have sent people to Zhongnan to listen.Except for those in the imperial capital and Southwest Leszekers who were unable to come, people from all over the West, East, Southeast, and North Leszekers branches came to participate in this exciting meeting.

For this reason, stricter martial law has also been imposed in the entire imperial government area, and no one is allowed to go to the south, even to the southwest.They tried in vain to block the momentum of this conference, so they spared no effort to discredit this conference.Unfortunately, their plans are always wishful thinking.The martial law order was ignored except for a few important checkpoints because the following localities needed to do business with the Zhongnan government.The smearing also let many officials who had no information know about the start of the conference, and they began to take actions one after another, either promoting it locally, or planning to go to Zhongnan.

Both the southeastern province and the southwestern province also paid special attention to this conference. Victor in the southeast sent his envoys to attend the conference, and sent many members of Demercotte to try in the name of the Progressive Faction. By listening to some public meetings, I want to do some beneficial 'interference' in Zhongnan's plan.And Grand Duke Nicholas of the Southwest Province was not far behind. He sent a mission to Zhongnan in the name of mediating the border conflict. In fact, he was stealing information to obtain more accurate information about Zhongnan and prepare for the war.

Even the Ossus Empire and the Asekshan Kingdom outside the country were also moved. They sent people to Emperor Dalim to demand that the Leszek forces in the country be severely punished, and news of this meeting should not be spread.They even signed an 'unfair' agreement in exchange for Lao Yuan launching an attack on Zhongnan to interfere with the conference.It is no wonder that the forces of all parties are so sensitive, because this conference is of great importance, comparable to the important moment of the coronation of a country's emperor.

Demercotte of the Southeast Province paid attention to this meeting because they are also the Progressive Faction. They had to pay attention to this old brother Faction with complicated relationships in order to determine the future Northern Expedition strategy and continue to maintain the leadership of the Progressive Faction and the Northern Expedition. leadership.Grand Duke Nicholas of the Southwest Province paid attention because seeing the war started, he had to figure out the situation and plan of Les Zeker to facilitate the next attack.As for the imperial government, let alone, they are afraid of the lurking members everywhere, and even more afraid of an uprising under the command of Zhongnan at any time, so they have to pay attention.

This is also the reason for overseas countries. After the domestic conference, it will be the continental conference. At that time, the momentum will not only be like this, it will be an unprecedented feast of "mud legs".The "rebels" of the princely kingdoms and empires will gather in the central south of Yongdalim, where they discuss major issues and plan uprisings across the continent.This has to make the kings and emperors terrified. They are terrified and want to do everything possible to completely get rid of these anti-bones thieves.

In the past, there were not no peasant uprisings, and even several dynasties rose from peasant uprisings.For example, the Yongdalim Dynasty got up like this.But the peasant uprising at that time was no longer comparable to the current Leszek. This group of rebels had systematic theories and plans, a tight offensive and advanced weapons. It was by no means that they lacked leadership, and they would eventually transform into a dynasty. The peasant uprising can be compared.

Despite the ulterior motives of various forces, the conference was held as scheduled. On October [-], [-], the second congress of Quanyong Dalimles Zekeryu officially started.This conference is like a trumpet. He will blow the trumpet to bury the old dynasty, organize in an all-round way, lead the suffering people in Dalim and even the whole continent to rise up and smash the heavy iron chain, Break free from shackles and walk towards new life.

The entire government city was extremely lively, and the Leszek officials from other places were always wandering in the streets and alleys, looking at all this with novel eyes. The product is shocking.Candy, matches, kerosene lamps, salt, cloth, these things that are extremely expensive in other places are extremely cheap here. Every ordinary working family or peasant family has the money to buy them frequently. The provincial officials working under these conditions were amazed. They really did not expect that Leszekism could go so far and make the once expensive goods so cheap.

They also sometimes visit the barracks under the leadership of comrades in the army.Visit the training of the soldiers, witness the training process of these revolutionary fighters, and witness the methods they will use to bury the old dynasty.They visited the training in the village, the democracy of the troops in the village, and watched the soldiers and soldiers vote to decide some things.I also saw that there is no distinction between officers and soldiers here, and the strict hierarchy of the old army is not seen at all.Officers (commanders) call (warriors) combatants comrades, and soldiers also call officers comrades, there is no distinction between high and low.

Some also went to factories to see how the workers lived under Leszek.They saw workers walking to their jobs with enthusiasm, doing a suitable amount of labor, and getting enough rest. The meetings in the factory showed democracy, without the oppression of the bourgeois bosses in the north.Here, the factory director, the workshop director, and the online monitor are all voted by the workers themselves.Their appointment cannot be dismissed because of someone’s preference. Only whoever the workers support, believe, and think has the ability can they really go up and lead the factory and workers to continue to make progress in production, expand production and improve production.

They saw the workers leave work with a comfortable smile to do what they like.Workers in Zhongnan generally work in three shifts. With the blessing of kerosene lamps, they not only maintain production, but also leave more time for life.Many workers like to go to night school after get off work, or go to the government-funded People's Art Museum to cultivate hobbies.In this era, every Zhongnan worker is proud to join Les Zeker and make contributions to Zhongnan.The current life is simply something they have never imagined. Who would not be grateful to Leszekchen who brought it all, and eager to join them?

293 Army Democracy

"This is, what is this doing?"

Weiss was wearing a straight blue military uniform and asked as he walked among the revolutionary army commanders.

Under the order of Marshal Victor, he led more than [-] Demercotte members to take advantage of this conference to study and exchange in Central and South China.The scene after scene here really shocked them who have been living in the southeast and only heard about Zhongnan but had never seen Demercotte.Even the Leszek officers from the provinces would have been amazed by this, let alone such different people as they were.

Weiss pointed to the room over there curiously, and walked to the glass window of the room with the other officers to probe inside.The decoration of this room is extremely simple, only a red five-pointed star inlaid on the threshold and a line of headlines on the door prove the function of this room: the office of the soldiers' committee.

"Soldiers' Committee? We also have it in the southeast." Weiss said to a revolutionary army commander with a smile.

"That's natural. After all, most of the comrades in the Northern Expedition Army also went out with the same teacher. It's also normal to have a soldier's committee." The commander replied with his hands behind his back and a smile.

"Can you sit in and see how it works?" Weiss suggested again.

"Of course it is possible, please." Comrade commander said.

"Please." Weiss also gestured very humbly.

"Comrades, comrades, let's move on to the next proposal and make the next plan."

The platoon leader on the stage glanced at the entering mission and just saluted, and then returned to work and presided over the meeting after being waved by the comrade commander.

"Do you have any objections to the food of the troops? Do you feel that it is not enough? Do you feel that it does not fit your mouth? Do you feel that the food has been deducted?" the platoon leader asked down.

"This..." a Demercotte officer asked Weiss with a look of embarrassment on his face.
