Brother Darling's face now is naturally wonderful.
He and the handsome emperor stared at each other for a long time.
Finally, Chen Daolin sighed, his lips moved, and then he raised his eyelids and asked, "Your Majesty, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Ask" Chen Daolin pointed to his nose: "Am I handsome and handsome?"
The Emperor smiled, smiling with great grace and charm, and then he said in a frank tone, "Of course not. ” "No, it's not, why add a course" Chen Daolin was very hurt, and then he asked: "Then it must be that you see that I have a strong personal charm, and I also have the nature of a girl killer who can make countless women fall for it" "I haven't seen this either, although I heard that you have a beautiful elf woman by your side, but it has always made me unbelievable, and if you think about it carefully, it can only be explained that the aesthetics of the elf race are probably different from our humans."
The Emperor sighed.
Chen Daolin nodded, held his breath, and continued: "Then it must be some specific shining point of mine, even if it is an ordinary person, there will always be a highlight moment."
For example, the way I laugh is not bad, it will especially make girls excited."
"Of course not."
The emperor continued to shake his head: "Although many women like men to laugh badly, you are not bad when you laugh, but a little cheap, and there is an urge to kick your feet. ” “” Chen Daolin took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, and finally he pointed to his nose and said with a wry smile: "I'm not handsome, I don't have any personal charm, I'm not a girl killer, and I look like a cheap and unbiased person when I laugh."
Your Majesty, for someone like me, you let me pursue the most noble and difficult to chase in the world, don't you think I'm looking for the wrong person?"
The emperor spread his hands: "How do I know why."
Anyway, for so many years, the only young man with a different surname that she admires in her words is you, don't say that you are the way you are now, even if you look a hundred times ugly and laugh a thousand times cheaper, as long as you are a male, I will let you try. ” Only, as long as it's a male Chen Daolin suddenly felt that he had been insulted He silently clenched his fists, then silently released them.
What else can I do He pulled out his chair and stood up, then turned and left.
"Where are you going?"
"I want to go hopping in the lake."
Chen Daolin pointed to the lake in the garden.
The emperor smiled, and he also stood up, took two steps, and reached out to press Chen Daolin's shoulder.
The handsome emperor smiled a little sneakily: "Little Darling." ” "Hmm" "Don't you think it's a challenge?"
"There are many things that challenge the surname, such as rebelling to become the emperor, and there are also challenging surnames."
Chen Daolin didn't have a good airway.
The emperor snorted: "Don't forget, who are you talking to now, just by your words, I have the right to cut off your head, even if you are a magician, you can't be exempted." ” "But" Chen Daolin looked up to the sky with grief and indignation: "But can the emperor force people to be little white faces?"
Something must be wrong with this world My Darling brother is in the real world, my grandmother doesn't love my uncle or uncle, and women take a detour when they see me, and finally meet two girls, one kicked me and the other used me as a spare tire.
Brother's qualifications, when he came to this world, he suddenly became a sweetheart The richest man in the empire, like the Liszt family, wants to marry his daughter to him, and now even the imperial emperor Yanjing personally came forward to pimp himself and let himself go to the most powerful woman in the empire Is there still a heavenly principle, and is there still a royal law?
"I didn't say you had to do it.
In short, you might as well try, no matter whether you succeed or fail, I will always not lose your benefits.
The Emperor smiled pleasantly.
Chen Daolin took a few deep breaths and looked at the emperor: "Should I kneel down and thank Your Majesty for your trust and generous gifts?"
"It's not too late to wait a little longer and then kneel."
The emperor's words made Chen Daolin almost hurt inside.
The two sat back in their seats, and after the emperor finished his meal quietly, as soon as he put down the dishes, a court attendant led a middle-aged man over slowly.
The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe, brown hair, and his expression was calm and calm.
Although his appearance was not outstanding, Chen Daolin couldn't help but look at him twice.
The person who was able to come to see the emperor directly without reporting was obviously not ordinary "Well, you're coming sooner than I expected."
The emperor picked up a towel handed by an attendant and wiped the corners of his mouth and hands, smiled lightly, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man knelt on one knee on the ground, lowered his head deeply, and his voice and tone were full of self-blame and guilt: "Please Your Majesty cure me for the crime of dereliction of duty" The middle-aged man raised his head, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, his eyes were sincerely frightened, and even the fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were trembling slightly, obviously from the heart of panic and nervousness.
The emperor saw it in his eyes, but his expression was still faint, and he waved his hand: "Okay, there's no need to play it again."
If I want to cure your sins, you won't see me at all, and you'll be thrown into prison and crying against the wall.
You and I have been a monarch for so many years, how come you have gradually learned to do this kind of hypocrisy recently.
Get up and tell me what you've found. ” "Obedience" The middle-aged man hurriedly got up, but before he spoke, he glanced at Chen Daolin hesitantly.
Chen Daolin immediately understood, and was about to get up to say goodbye, but the emperor waved his hand: "Don't shy away from it, Xiao Darling is someone I can trust, if it weren't for him, I would have been injured by the assassin."
If you have anything to say, say it, Pete. ” After a pause, the emperor casually pointed at the middle-aged man and said to Chen Daolin: "This is my palace Minister of the Interior, Your Excellency Pete Statham.
Little Darling, you know, I think you will have to deal with more in the future. ” Chen Daolin hurriedly stood up and nodded to the palace minister of internal affairs.
Pete didn't dare to slack off, and seriously saluted Chen Daolin, and said a few polite words.
With the emperor's orders, Pete did not dare to hesitate, and immediately began to report.

"Your Majesty, immediately after the incident, I sent someone to take control of the palace.
First of all, all the attendants who followed you today were temporarily controlled, as well as the stewards and chefs and servants in the kitchen, and the guards and attendants who were on duty around here today, a total of one hundred and thirty-six people, all of whom were included in the list of suspects and were temporarily controlled. ” "Well, then," the Emperor asked lightly.
Chen Daolin was secretly surprised when he heard this It turned out that he had always been curious in his heart, it stands to reason that after the assassination, the emperor should be furious and immediately send someone to conduct a thorough investigation, right, how could he still have the leisure to talk to himself here about some boring things, as if he didn't care about the assassination at all.
Now Chen Daolin understands that because the other party is the emperor, he doesn't need to order them one by one, and the Minister of the Interior named Pete Statham has already done it all for him One hundred and thirty-six attendants, guards, cooks, and servants around the emperor, all of whom had been arrested and interrogated Chen Daolin clearly heard a vigorous and murderous aura from the words of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the palace "Of these 136 people, I have already started to investigate all of them.
Among them, there were seventy-one guards of the Imperial Guards, and there were no problems with their resumes, and there was no suspicion at the time of the accident, but the assassins were guilty of dereliction of duty when they entered the garden under their investigation.
Six cooks and thirty-one kitchen servants are not suspicious, we have examined your food, nothing poisoned or unusual, and they have been temporarily released, but they are still being watched.
The rest is your majesty's servants.
Pete's voice was methodical: "Because the assassin is one of your servants, so these people have been strictly checked.
I have personally reviewed the biographies and information of all of them and confirmed that there are no traces of forgery or tampering.
There is nothing suspicious about the fact that the longest of them had been in the palace for twenty-one years, and the least had been in the palace for nine years.
From the preliminary examination, there is no doubt about the outcome of the interrogation.
I have sent an inventory of their dwellings, and have found nothing suspicious or of unknown origin. ” "What about the dead assassin," the Emperor raised an eyebrow.
"The dead Assassin, named Carlos, has been in the palace for fourteen years, after eight years as a handyman in the kitchen, and then transferred to the head of ceremonies as a servant for four years, and two years ago he was transferred to your side to serve you.
I have seen his resume, he is innocent, there is nothing suspicious, there are parents and a younger brother and two sisters at home, there is a small farm, all of which have been saved by his salary in the court for many years, and there is no financial hardship in the near future.
In addition, I have checked Carlos's documents in the court and the evaluation of his chief officer every year, this person is usually cautious and low-key, but he is very smart, he has always done things very safely, and he has never had a bad record, so it can be said that he rarely has such an innocent and clean resume.
I checked the documents and found out that if it hadn't happened today, with this Carlos's excellent performance, he would have been promoted at the end of the year and promoted to be a member of your personal attendant team. ” "You mean, he's clean," the Emperor glanced at Pete.
Pete hesitated for a moment, he said slowly: "For the time being, it seems from the information in my hand that he has been in the palace for fourteen years, if he is an assassin, I don't think there is any organization that can allow an assassin to lurk in the palace for fourteen years without being discovered, not to mention that he still has a family and relatives, and there is no trace of forgery in his resume."
So what I can't understand now is why such a guy would suddenly become a thief assassin.
He could have had a bright future, and he hasn't encountered anything special recently, so there should be no possibility of being bought. ” Speaking of this, Pete added: "Of course, Your Majesty, this is only the result of the analysis of the data I have in my hands now.
I'll continue to investigate and see if I can find more valuable leads.
So" "And what about your proposal now," the Emperor looked at Pete.
"My suggestion is that, for your safety, all of your current attendants should be replaced, and these people are better left to me, Your Majesty.
Today, all the attendants who followed you to serve, all the attendants who followed you to serve in the garden, are suspicious, and must be controlled for the time being, let me slowly examine my opinion, such a premeditated assassination, the other party should not have only such a chess piece, I am afraid that if there are other assassins hiding among the attendants around you, I am afraid it will be a problem."
"Okay" Before Pete could finish speaking, the Emperor interrupted him.
The Emperor sat up straight, looked at Pete several times, and then his face softened slightly.
"Thank you, Pete."
The emperor whispered in a gentle tone, "It happened suddenly.
In such a short period of time, you have already done these investigations, which is enough to show that you put your heart into it. ” Pete hurriedly paused.
"I know that there is always a special reason for this sudden thing, and I can't blame you."
The emperor's tone then changed and he said slowly: "But after all, you are the Minister of the Interior appointed by me personally, and such an assassination occurred in the palace, no matter what, you will not escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty."
So, even though I don't want to punish you, I have to do it as a sign of power."
"I understand, Your Majesty.
Please punish me, I'm convinced.
Pete sighed.
"If only you understood."
The emperor nodded, looked at Pete kneeling in front of him, his face was calm, and a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he said slowly: "Pass my order, Minister of the Interior Pete Statham, who is responsible for negligence, and will be fined one year's salary."
And the title of court count on your body, let's temporarily demote it to a viscount. ” When Pete heard this, he seemed to let out a long breath, and quickly lowered his head, and his tone was very sincere: "Your Majesty is so merciful, it really makes me" "Alright."
The emperor shook his head: "What I don't like the most is these styles, if you work hard and do a few things for me, your court title will naturally rise back." ” After a pause, he said again: "Celtic, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, is responsible for negligence, well, it is also a one-year fine, transfer from the Royal Forest Army, let him go to the Royal City Guards to train for a few years, as for the position of the commander, I will think about it again, you go and call that guy from Panin tomorrow, I want to talk to him." ” "Yes" Pete quickly bowed his head and wrote down the emperor's words one by one.
"As for the attendants around me, after your inquiry is over today, you can put them all back if there is no doubt, and the people around me don't need to be replaced.
This matter should have nothing to do with them, they are all innocent people who have faithfully done things for me.
This assassination, the freedom of other claims in my heart, does not have to implicate these poor innocent people.
Enough has happened lately, if even all the attendants around me were replaced and arrested for interrogation, wouldn't it make people panic and make those thieves hiding in the shadows laugh out of their stomachs."
"Your Majesty," Pete couldn't help but distinguish, "But these close servants of yours" "Well, this has nothing to do with them, I know it."
The emperor didn't wait for Pete to say more, and made a decision directly.
Since the emperor had made the final decision, Pete didn't dare to say anything more, and was about to bow down and leave.

"Wait" The emperor suddenly seemed to remember something, and reached out and knocked on his forehead: "I almost forgot something important, if I really forgot this thing, I'm afraid that someone will slander me for being unfair behind my back, and the rewards and punishments are unknown." ” As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Chen Daolin, and then coughed: "The assassination on the street before, and the assassination in the garden today, two things and one thing, both have the loyal escort of the magician Darling Mr.
Chen."
Such merit should not be rewarded.
Well, Pete, remember to draft a bounty order.
Grant Mr.
Darling Chen the title of court magician, and the privilege of entering and leaving the palace forbidden" Speaking of this, the emperor suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Daolin and said with a smile: "Little Darling, do you prefer to be a magician or do you prefer to be a nobleman?"
"This" Chen Daolin blushed and said in a low voice: "I don't refuse either." ” "Haha is young, but he's quite greedy."
The emperor thought for a while, and glanced at Chen Daolin strangely: "The title of nobleman, there is no real merit that cannot be lightly sealed, besides, what I told you today, if you do it, are you still afraid that you will not have a title Well, I will give you a court title first, Pete, write it down, give Darling the title of knight of the court." ” When Chen Daolin heard this, he raised his head and looked at the emperor, with a question in his eyes: "Your Majesty, how big is the title of knight, how big can I be a fief, how much fief can I build, how much tax can I collect?"
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and even that Pete couldn't help but laugh.
This time, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Pete took the initiative to explain on his behalf.
"Ugh, Master Darling."
Pete touched his chin and said slowly while laughing, "You probably don't know much about the system of these nobles.
Your Majesty's title is a court title, and this kind of title is still a little different from a nobleman in the ordinary sense.
It is a title for life, not hereditary, cannot be passed on to children, and there is no designated fief unless there is a special reward.
However, with these court titles, you can also receive an additional allowance from the court every year.
This title also symbolizes royal glory and the trust and favor that Your Majesty has placed in you. ” Chen Daolin opened his mouth, and when he heard "no fiefdom", the enthusiasm on his face faded mostly, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the emperor.
That's too stingy, isn't it?
What kind of court title, to put it bluntly, isn't it just an "honorary title"?
It's like an honorary mayor and honorary chairman, that is, a good name Throwing out this kind of reward that doesn't cost money, His Majesty the Emperor is really too stingy It's ridiculous that I once imagined that I could get a real nobleman to be in charge, get a piece of territory, have my own people, and build a team of my own, so wouldn't I be able to start playing farming hum After talking for a long time, he was a court magician and a court knight, and the title was given a bunch, and there was not a single gold coin in real benefits How smart the emperor is, as soon as he saw the change in Chen Daolin's face, he knew the mind of this little guy.
He wasn't angry, he just thought it was funny.
If someone else gets this kind of royal court title, it will naturally be extremely honorable.
But this little guy is so philistine, does he only like that kind of tangible benefits?
"Little Darling."
The emperor suddenly said, "Do you think I'm stingy?"
"Of course not" Chen Daolin was distracted for a while, and almost slipped his mouth, but fortunately reacted in time and saluted with a straight face: "Thank you for Your Majesty's reward." ” "I can't say it."
The emperor shook his head: "The court titles I gave you can't be turned into fiefs and gold and silver, but in many cases, these titles are more valuable than gold, silver and land. ” "Ahh The emperor smiled and pointed at Pete: "After you go down in a while, teach this ignorant little idiot, lest he still treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." ” "Yes" Pete nodded hurriedly.
With his city, he can naturally understand the emperor's intentions, and of course Pete knows very well that the emperor is not just letting himself teach this Darling mage the benefits of some court titles, but really making himself close to this Darling mage.
It seems that His Majesty's intention is to reuse this young Darling mage, and judging from His Majesty's performance and attitude today, he seems to appreciate this young mage very much In any case, as the Minister of Internal Affairs of the palace and a close confidant of His Majesty, if he wants to maintain the immortality of the Holy Family, he naturally has to have a good relationship with the celebrities around His Majesty.
Pete thought this section in his heart, and made up his mind that after a while, he must be close to the young magician.
Thinking of this, Pete cast a kind look and a kind smile at Chen Daolin.
"Little Darling, what I told you, you should prepare yourself."
The emperor coughed and said vaguely: "This matter is not trivial, it is a great achievement to do it, even if it can't be done, I won't blame you."
You go back and think about it yourself, it's better to figure it out and think it through" Chen Daolin sighed and nodded helplessly: "Yes" "Okay, I'm tired today, Pete, you take Darling out of the palace, remember to deliver the paperwork and token badge of the palace title to him tomorrow."
The Emperor stood up.
The two hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.
The Emperor then left the garden, surrounded by a group of guards.
When the emperor left, Chen Daolin and Pete raised their heads and stood up straight.
The two looked at each other as if they had a heart, and at the same time cast a good-natured smile.
Pete immediately smiled and said, "Master Darling, since you have been named a court mage and I am the Minister of the Interior, we must be more close in the future." ” "Lord Statham is polite," Chen Daolin smiled happily.
"Master Darling is so young, and His Majesty is so saintly, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Pete actually took the initiative to pat Chen Daolin's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's an old guy like me who is hot-eyed, if you don't have anything else to do today, I want to invite Mr.
Darling to dine together in the evening and conspire to get drunk, how about it?"
Chen Daolin also understood in his heart that the other party's Minister of Internal Affairs was the descendant of the emperor's lineage and the henchman of the emperor's side, and it would be of great benefit for him to gain a foothold in Yanjing and deal well with the emperor's close ministers in front of him.
The two of them were affectionate and intentional, so they naturally hit it off, and after a few words of greeting, they immediately became affectionate like old friends for many years, and walked out of the garden side by side
