Chapter 559 Chapter five hundred and twentieth one self-cut authority

Whether it's a trap, or the wise regent suddenly lost his mind. Anyway... Du Wei's position as dean has already been decided.However, Du Wei was still a little vigilant in his heart: in the near future, the regent had already begun to arrange the balance of constraints on himself in the political situation of the empire, and fostered a general Alpay just to balance his dominance , and now... actually handing over the future Imperial Military Academy to himself... What the hell is he planning? I worked so hard, pretending to be a love saint in the ring, kissing Ai Lu, and pretending to quit the game, just to show my position, to give up control of the Knights Association and Roland's Sword Knights, that step back was very good, and Judging from many signs, the regent is also very happy with his "knowledge".

Now this damn "Whampoa Military Academy", which one is it? ! ... However, one day later, Du Wei realized that he had been fooled by Prince Chen. When Kamisiro came to visit Du Wei, he smiled and directed the guards to bring several large boxes of archives, and said to Du Wei with a harmless look on his face: "These are the resumes of the training class personnel of all ages. information, as well as a list of some qualified personnel selected for the next training course that our military will hold... oh, of course, it should be called the 'Imperial Military Academy' now. These are the first batch The list of students is all selected and sent by the local army. Their family, birth, age, family background, military position, seniority, anyway, all the information you need is here. Of course...the last box is about Some surveys on the establishment of this college, including site selection, construction of the college, etc..."

Before Camisiro finished speaking, Du Wei's eyes popped out. He stared at Camisiro, and suddenly interrupted this guy. Du Wei muttered depressedly: "I knew it, this is you... No, it's you! It's your thief The ship is gone." Camisiro smiled affectionately: "Don't say that, Du Wei, we are good friends. If a friend is in trouble, you must help." Du Wei looked at Camisiro's smiling face, and suddenly felt an impulse in his heart, wanting to jump up and punch this guy's nose!See if this guy can still smile so happily after the bridge of his nose is broken!

"Help? You asked me... how the hell did you ask me to help!!" Although Du Wei didn't really punch Camisiro, he jumped up like an enraged lion and stroked his hands. Sleeve, he kicked over the box closest to him, and then stared at Camisiro with his hips crossed: "You...what do you think I am! A spider with eight hands! Am I in a hurry! Really? Hell! The damn tournament is not over yet! And I haven’t finished the preparations for the Knights of Roland’s Sword! Two days ago, your people came to report to me for approval of a new batch of military supplies, They are going to be transported to the Kaspersky line of defense! There is also Delan Mountain Warcraft, which told me that the hot air balloon production factory has insufficient raw materials, and asked me to deal with a large amount of cowhide as soon as possible...I..."

"Hey hey!" Kamisiro raised his voice and raised his hands as if surrendering: "My friend! The things you said have nothing to do with me. I didn't know you were so busy." "You don't know... Our regent knows." Du Wei muttered in a low voice: "He did it on purpose." After speaking, Du Wei kicked again, this time directly kicking a wooden box, Sawdust flew, and some even splashed on Camisiro's face. Seeing Du Wei baring his teeth and claws at Camisiro, the guards brought by Camisiro next to him were a little nervous-this is not bad!Dare to do something to our adults!

Beat the Imperial Minister of Military Affairs!What crime is this? But the problem is... the other party is the Duke of Tulip, who is more powerful than his own family... What can the guards do with this? If the Lord Duke really fights with our lord...then our guards can only stare blankly. Camisiro sighed suddenly, and took off a few pieces of sawdust on his face casually. His eyes were a bit complicated, he glanced at a few guards, waved his hands and said in a low voice, "Go out first!" Several guards ran away as if they had received an amnesty. Camisiro turned around and closed the door first, then turned around and walked to Du Wei's side, patted Du Wei's shoulder, he hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice: "Du Wei, there are some words, maybe I don't It's not appropriate to say it, but since we're friends... then I'll give you some advice."

"Say." Du Wei squeezed out a word. "You..." Camisiro looked a little weird: "I think you should, appropriately, let some power go." Du Wei raised his eyelids and glanced at Camisiro—in his impression, this guy, although he is now known as one of the three rookie kings of the empire, um... Although he is one of the three rookie kings, he is currently It seems the one with the weakest power.But Camisiro has been keeping a low profile in recent years. No matter how he behaves, he has clearly been deeply influenced by the old Prime Minister Robeschell—keep a low profile and be wise!

But today... How did he say such a "heart-wrenching" sentence? "As you said, Du Wei, you have too much power now." Camisiro chuckled softly, "Look, you hold the military and political power in the Northwest. Of course, Desa Province is yours." Your territory is originally yours. No one will say anything about this. But... what about the Northwest Independent Division... Hehe, outsiders don't know, I am the Deputy Minister of Military Affairs, don't I know? It belongs to the empire The future air force! The empire has set aside a large area of ​​land, dispatched a large number of people, formed such an army, built the production base of the hot air balloon, and produced weapons... This is the army of the empire. This army is in the Northwest Legion After the annihilation, it has been almost two years now. In these two years, this army has been in your hands! Isn’t this power enough? And the Kaspersky line of defense, you spent more than 10 million gold coins to help The empire has built such a line of defense. What I said last time is not an exaggeration at all. Now the empire is very against the military. It is almost equivalent to taking your salary from Du Wei! So many things are all in your hands "You said, is this normal?"

Du Wei calmed down, smiled and shook his head: "It's not normal." "I'm going to say something very rebellious, Du Wei, with the power and strength you have now, you want territory, money, money, and an army! If you want to rebel... your threat is far away Far surpassed the Northwest Army back then!" Camisiro looked a little nervous: "Don't forget, outsiders don't know, but we all know the top secret military situation inside. When you wiped out the 70,000 main cavalry of the Northwest Army, you Only dispatched less than 10,000 cavalry from Longbottom, and wiped out all the iron cavalry of the Northwest Legion! With such strength, how can you trust the 'big boss' above?"

Camissiro watched the change in Du Wei's expression, and then found a chair and sat down: "I admit that the financial situation of the empire in the past two years was indeed very poor, so bad that I have to ask you, a courtier, for money... But Now two years have passed, and the most difficult financial period has passed. Now there is a surplus in the Finance Department, and everything is on track. The snowstorm in the south is gone, the production has been smooth for two years, and there is even a bumper harvest in the south The regent's performance in the past two years has been quite good, and the empire's financial surplus is much greater than in previous years. You think... In this case, the empire no longer needs you to pay for it personally to feed the empire's army! You understand what I mean ?"

Du Wei snorted and laughed twice: "I understand that when the Prince Regent sent the Northwest Independent Division to me, it was because of the air force. I am the only one who knows how to do it in the entire empire, and no one else can do it. The second is because the empire had no money to build such a new army, and I needed to spend money to support it. But now... these two conditions no longer exist. The empire has money, and, in two years, what they should learn learnt." "I know you are a smart person." Camisiro leaned back on the chair and looked at Du Wei with a smile. Du Wei closed his eyes and thought for a while. That's how things are! Although I spent countless gold coins to subsidize the empire's finances at the beginning, tens of millions of gold coins were spent like running water - and I also helped the empire raise the army for nearly two years... From this point of view, it seems that the royal family has to accept their great favor . But don't forget!Prince Chen has passed to exonerate the Luo Lin family from the crime of treason and restore the Luo Lin family. This matter has already paid off Du Wei!Moreover, in terms of status, Du Wei was also given full respect. In this way, it can be regarded as even with Du Wei! But now, an air force that has passed inspections in the war and proved to be very powerful... such a new type of powerful army, the royal family cannot continue to be placed in Du Wei's own hands, but should be taken back. In the hands of the royal family, this is the truth! This is not crossing the river to demolish bridges, nor is it killing donkeys, but a normal political method! If you take a step back and think about it... There is a big war in the future!And before the war, Prince Chen must elevate the majesty of the imperial power to the highest level!Only in this way can the dominance of the royal family be guaranteed! And now...if there is a big war in the future, the empire will definitely be in turmoil, and in the turmoil, if there is a powerful official like Du Wei below, if there is too much power in his hands, who can guarantee that Du Wei will not be dissatisfied ? In other words, it is indeed necessary to ensure internal unity, but for the royal family, their primary purpose is to ensure the dominance of the royal family!As for the life and death of all human beings, that is the secondary purpose, not the primary one! The royal family will protect this empire with all its strength and prevent human beings from being exterminated by alien races, but the premise is: human beings must be under the rule of the Augustine royal family! Du Wei is very clear that his current situation can be described as a standard "power minister"!And he's a super power minister! As Camisiro said, he wants territory, wealth, wealth, army, and fame (even in some places, his fame has surpassed that of the royal family). But the problem is, such a state seems to have infinite scenery, but it is really "dangerous"! Du Wei, who has been familiar with the general history of the mainland in this world, is very clear, whether it is in this world or in his previous life.In ancient and modern China and abroad, almost all "power ministers", if they refuse to give up the power in their hands in the end, if they insist on clinging to the power in their hands, then 90% out of 10 will end in misery! For example, the ancestor of the Luo Lin family, in the Great Patriotic War more than 200 years ago, made great contributions, had great prestige in the army, was deeply trusted by the royal family, received the entire Luo Lin Plain as a reward, and married the royal family Princess. But after the war ended, the ancestor of the Luo Lin family wisely gave up his military power and gave up his direct command over the army.This ensured that the Luo Lin family was not completely hidden. And Du Wei knew even more that in his previous life, almost all the powerful officials in history either succeeded in rebelling against each other in the end, or... they ended up miserable! Huo Guang of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty... one was flogged to death, and the other was ransacked. Of course, Du Wei himself is not afraid. With his body, if he finally turns against the royal family, the world is so big, where can he not go?But what about his subordinates, those loyal retainers in the family? Longbottom, Gaida, Philip, Dardanelle... Wait, wait, these people are not holy rank powerhouses!They are just ordinary people. Prince Chen is already a very wise monarch, but because he is wise, he knows how to delegate power to his subjects, but before dealing with the crisis, he must take back a lot of power, at least to ensure that the power and strength in the hands of the royal family are the strongest of!Before the future turbulent era comes, he must ensure that he has enough chips in his hand to defend the dominance of the royal family! "I know, Du Wei...you have made a great contribution to the empire." Camisiro sighed: "I understand your feelings, because even if it were me, I would definitely not be reconciled. Calculate carefully Forget it, you can even say that you have supported half of the empire! In the coup d'etat, you made great contributions. After that, you calmed down the situation in the northwest, stopped the prairie wolves in the west, and planned cleverly to eliminate the hidden dangers of the grassland for the empire. You have done so many miraculous things and wiped out the Northwest Legion. When the empire was in financial difficulty, you selflessly supported the empire with your family's financial resources... You can be said to be the number one hero of the empire. Now you want to delegate power, As long as you are an individual, you must have resentment in your heart." Du Wei looked at Camisiro's sincere expression, he suddenly smiled, and winked at Camisiro: "Dear Camisiro...I guess you didn't come up with these words and say them to me. Yes." Camisiro was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed expression on his face, but he quickly smiled, touched his chin, and admitted straightforwardly: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from you... yes, in my head, I want to It doesn’t make so much sense. Let’s be clear, there are a lot of these words, the old prime minister said to me, please let me convey it to you in private, let me persuade you well.” Du Wei laughed twice: "Lord Robeschell? Hehe, it seems that the Prime Minister really values ​​me." "Of course." Camisiro looked serious: "Du Wei, tell me clearly. Mr. Robeschell even told me very clearly many times that in the future...his position must be yours. He is right You have high expectations. He thinks that you will become the pillar of the empire. So...he doesn't want to see you take the road of power minister. That will not have any good results. As long as you control the power in your hands well, don't be too little , less will not reflect your value. Don’t want too much, too much will make the king suspicious. Keep a delicate balance, then you will become the most dazzling star in this generation of the empire in this life!” "Thank you." Du Wei said these two words very seriously: "Thank you, and thank the old prime minister on my behalf. Thank you for his respect for me. Well... I must visit his old man's house some other day and express it in person. My thanks." "So...you were convinced by me?" Camisiro blinked and smiled at Du Wei. Du Wei laughed and stood up: "Of course! I'm convinced by you! Camisiro, you are such a powerful lobbyist." Only then did Camisiro heaved a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Actually, you are very smart, Du Wei, you don't need me to tell you these truths, you can think of what I said... but, You need to hear this from others to give yourself an excuse to let go. Besides... To be honest, I think what the regent has done is very wise. At least, the position of the head of the military academy is actually I gave you the Tulip family an eternal death-free card!" "Oh? How to say?" Du Wei's heart moved. "Think about it...you hand over some of the power in your hands now, and let the regent completely trust you and trust you...you take up the position of dean, think about it, after many years in the future, the Empire will In your army, there will be a group of new generals, all of whom are your disciples. Although you may not have actual military power in the army, your prestige among these generals will definitely reach a level that is difficult to level! At that time...to say something ugly, even if you have committed any crime, as long as you are not rebellious, the monarch will look at the face of a large number of generals in the military, and will be extra merciful to you!" Du Wei nodded. Thinking about it carefully, the position of dean is a gold medal for avoiding death given to him by the regent!In fact, he told Du Wei implicitly: Give up your power, as long as you have the status of the dean, as long as the empire does not perish, your honor for the rest of your life will be guaranteed! Furthermore, it also dispelled Du Wei's worries about "the bird is dead and the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked"! As the dean, as long as Du Wei does not rebel, the monarch will respect and value him throughout his life. Du Wei laughed, and the laughter was full of joy and ease: "Camisiro, now I am completely convinced by you! There is no hesitation at all, well, I will accept your suggestion. There will be some action...well, yes, I suddenly came up with a new idea..." "New idea?" Camisiro was taken aback for a moment. "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the regent has made arrangements for me, you, and General Alpay. He has promoted the three of us to a high position. Given the age of the three of us, it can be said that the next few decades During the year, as long as we don't go the wrong way, the three of us will climb to a very high position. But... if we are smart, we should not get too close. After all, you are the Minister of Military Affairs and the commander in chief of the Imperial Army And I, if I serve as the dean of the military academy, then I will have supreme prestige. The relationship between me and Alpay is already very tense-this makes the regent very relieved. But you and My relationship...is a bit too harmonious." "It's so harmonious...you mean." "In order to reassure our regent, it's better to have a 'stiff' relationship with you. Hehe, of course, don't hate me. Can we still regard each other as friends in our hearts, but, On the surface, it’s better to have some disputes.” With that said, Du Wei stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and walked in front of Camisiro. Camisiro immediately stood up nervously, and looked at Du Wei with a wry smile: "Hey, what do you want to do? God...you don't want to...I said, it's not necessary? You..." boom! After a muffled sound, Camisiro's cry of pain came. A moment later, our Imperial Vice Minister of Military Affairs, clutching his bleeding nose, came out of Duke Tulip's study, with blood still dripping from his fingers. Camisiro had a weird expression on his face, and the guards waiting outside stared even more. "Go back." Camisiro smiled wryly, and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe away the bleeding nose. After a while, he yelled angrily, "Du Wei, you broke the bridge of my nose!" ... On this day, Mr. Camisiro walked out of the Tulip Duke's mansion angrily, clutching his bleeding nose, and was seen by many people. Soon after, the news spread throughout the imperial capital. In less than a day, most people in the aristocratic circle knew about this new thing: Duke Tulip and Vice Minister of Military Affairs Camisiro, the two had a big fight because of disagreements over military affairs, and Tulip The Duke personally broke the nose of Lord Camisiro... Now it seems that among the three new kings of the empire, the last pair of friends also broke up.From then on, the three new kings will probably form their own factions. Two things that are not known to the public, the first one happened in the palace: after Prince Chen heard the news, he smiled slightly for a while, and even drank two glasses of wine more than usual during dinner. The second incident also happened at night, but it happened in the mansion of the old Prime Minister Robeschell. This old fox, who has been in the officialdom all his life, looked at his nephew and son-in-law, at Camisiro's swollen nose bridge, and the cotton stuffed in his nostrils, but the old guy had a kind smile on his face. When Camisiro used a voice with a strong nasal voice, he told all the conversations between the two at Du Wei's mansion today, including Du Wei's last punch. When he heard that Du Wei punched Camisiro's nose, the old prime minister suddenly laughed very happily. This old guy who has been unpredictable all the year round smiled extremely happily, just like a child. Seeing the old prime minister smiling so happily, Camisiro held his nose and smiled wryly, "I said, are you so happy to see me being beaten?" "Yes, my boy, I am glad." Camisiro sighed: "Okay, I know the meaning of this matter, and I also understand Du Wei's intentions, so, what should I do in the future? Do you want me to play a show of attacking each other with him?" "No, no, no." Lao Zai shook his head repeatedly: "If you deliberately attack each other, the scene will be over, it's too fake. Don't deliberately conflict with Du Wei on military affairs, otherwise it will arouse people's suspicion. You... ...In the future, for all official affairs related to Du Wei, just keep it official and impartial! Remember, to be impartial, that is, don't deliberately embarrass him, and don't help him like before! Just do what you want to do, and do everything according to the rules and regulations of the empire, that's enough!" Camisiro nodded, then stood up and left, muttering in his mouth: "Damn, I'm going to change my medicine, this nose hurts, I can't even drink wine." Seeing the agent of the family he had chosen go out, Rob Schell's eyes gradually drifted away... "He actually punched him... What a clever and funny kid!" The old prime minister smiled and made an evaluation. ... Just after Du Wei took the position of the dean of the "Imperial Military Academy" with a high profile-of course, this military academy does not exist yet, but it will build the framework as soon as possible in the short term, and the local army from all over the country The young military officers drawn here will also report to the imperial capital in the next month. Also, one more thing is... Just at a regular meeting in the palace, the Duke of Tulip took the initiative to ask the empire to take back the military power over the "Northwest Independent Division" on the grounds that he was "financially tight".From then on, all the military supplies of this army were borne by the imperial finances, and the Tulip family no longer provided any sponsorship to this army. Moreover, Du Wei said that it is meaningless for this army to continue to stay in the north of its own territory, and it will also consume food in Desa Province, which has low food production. The regent readily agreed to this request. The Northwest Independent Division will move out as soon as possible and transfer to a newly built military fortress of the empire in the south of the Kaspersky line of defense.The military order was issued from the Imperial High Command on the same day. Plus, there's one more thing... the largest official hot air balloon production facility in that empire. Du Wei said that because his family's "financial resources are tight" and other industrial businesses under his name require a large amount of working capital, he requested to sell his share in this hot air balloon production factory! Regarding this matter, the regent agreed after thinking about it for a day. Soon, Du Wei, Count Villa, and Delan Mountain Warcraft, the two families reached an agreement.Count Villa and Delan Mountain Warcraft jointly paid 11 million gold coins to buy Du Wei's share.Since then, the Tulip family has no control over the hot air balloon production base. Of course... Because Du Wei's territory is closest to the grassland, the cattle and sheep fur needed for the hot air balloon production base still have to go to the grassland to buy through Du Wei's channel, and the price is based on the official price of the empire. With the two orders, Du Wei easily handed over the two great authorities he was holding. Although there is still some faint reconciliation in his heart, Du Wei is very clear: this is politics.As Prince Chen, it was right for him to do so, and he also gave Du Wei some benefits. At least the position of the dean of the military academy has given Du Wei a great honor and a great insurance. After dealing with these two matters, Prince Chen was in a good mood in the palace. In the next few days, the guards and servants around him could feel his good mood from the smile on the king's face. As for Du Wei, he can transfer his energy to the finals of this tournament! The final of the martial arts tournament is about to begin... The two sides of the duel are... Elle, and...
