"But Mother, you can't let Gnord go just because he is related to us, you should understand how many nobles can be related to the royal family in the whole of Prussia, and if this is the case, then Prussia will not be corrupted by these moths?"
"No, William, Gnord is my only relative in Prussia, and I can't let you convict him like that" "Mother, what do you want me to say so you can understand" "William, I'll calm down first, you tell me, how are you going to punish Gnord" "This, I am going to deprive Gnord of his knighthood, and then expel him from the country, and not allow him to enter Prussia for life" Facing Louise, William spoke out about the punishment he had for Gnod in his heart "William, you're crazy, he's your uncle!"
William's punishment was obviously a little difficult for Louise to accept, and Louise would have been even more insane if she knew about William's other thoughts, William had planned to charge Gnod with treason and then be imprisoned for life.
Well, in the face of Louise, who looked like a cannibal, William had no choice but to persuade: "Mother, now that Prussia is in a stage of prosperity, if I punish Gnord lightly, how can I convince the Prussian nobles, and will Prussia, which has just been pacified and stabilized, make waves again?"
"I don't listen, you let me out!"
Hearing Louise's words, William had no choice but to salute and then turn around and walk out slowly "You wait a minute, William, I'll tell you.
If you leave Gnord without my permission, I will never forgive you in this life!
” "This, as you wish" In order not to provoke Louise again, William hastened his pace and left Louise's bedchamber.
After returning to his room, William kept scratching his head, he didn't understand why Louise, who had always been reasonable, would be so insistent on the issue of Gnord, to know that his family was completely worthy of Gnord, William didn't know how Gnord was a person, but William still knew about his ability to do things, if it weren't for Louise's relationship.
How could Wilhelm put the post of civil magistrate of Brandenburg in the hands of Gnord.
Fortunately, now the discontented Gnord actually colluded with some scum of the military to come up with the idea of embezzling state assets, and if the number is small, William can turn a blind eye.
But now that the issue of more than a thousand war horses is involved, if you don't handle it yourself, how will those nobles think of themselves.
There are no impermeable walls in the world, and some well-informed nobles have been updated on the situation of Sanssouci Palace, and some nobles have already known about it as early as when Ferdinand arranged for people to investigate the Tenth Division.
Although it is not known why.
But then those nobles also quietly began to investigate, and the situation of the tenth division could not be concealed from those who had a heart.
So.
So many unqualified war horses are naturally seen, where do these war horses come from?
The answer is Brandenburg.
As the civil official of Brandenburg, the war horses purchased by the army naturally had to be approved by the civil affairs officer, so Gnod would definitely not be able to escape the involvement.
The whole of Potsdam, or the whole of Prussia, was watching how Wilhelm dealt with it, and Gnord's background was well known, thanks to the fact that Gnord often showed off his Queen Mother's cousin.
William thought about it all night, but still couldn't think of a good solution, even though Louise looked weak.
But William knew that Louise would not give in to himself in the matter of Gnord, and after all, William was too busy on weekdays, and William felt very indebted to not being able to accept his knees.
At this time, Buel walked up to William's side "Your Majesty, Prince Ferdinand has come to ask for a meeting" "Well, let him wait for me in the study" As he spoke, William picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped his hands, and the breakfast on the table that had eaten a small half was naturally abandoned.
"Your Majesty.
My people have found out something new."
Ferdinand saluted William, and Ferdinand's words brought William's heart together again "Tell me, what's the situation" "Through our covert visits, not only the newly equipped 10th Division.
Including two cavalry regiments deployed in Brandenburg and two cavalry regiments on the Bohemian front, these armies were equipped with great problems with war horses.
The Hanover Bloodbred and Holstein horses, which were supposed to be equipped, were now replaced by domestic horses, which came from the same place as the 10th Division, and also from Brandenburg.
And those war horses that have been replaced are basically not at the age of retirement, and after these war horses are replaced, their whereabouts have become a mystery."
Ferdinand's words made William unable to compose any longer "Are you saying that not only the two regiments of the 10th Division, but now there are four regiments that have problems with their horses, and these horses are also from Brandenburg?"
William's words were mixed with excitement and anger, in fact, there was no need to ask, William already had the answer in his heart "Your Majesty, I think so" Ferdinand responded to William stiffly, to be honest, Ferdinand was also a little confused by his own investigation results, of course, he was not afraid of Gnord, Gnod is something, in the eyes of old nobles such as Ferdinand, it is simply a dog-like thing, if it were not for the relationship with the Queen Mother Louise, maybe Ferdinand didn't have to wait for William's decision, and directly arrested Gnod first.
The reason for Ferdinand's enlightenment was that he did not expect that things would develop to such a serious point, the whole four cavalry regiments had tens of thousands of war horses, and nearly half of them had problems, if it were not for Ferdinand's inadvertent discovery that something was wrong with the 10th Division, maybe it would not be long before the horses of the entire Prussian army would have problems, and the impact on the army at that time can be imagined.
Moreover, Ferdinand was the chief officer of the Military Bureau under the Military Department before, and it stands to reason that these things should be under Ferdinand's control, but now that such a major event has occurred, how can you make Ferdinand embarrassed.
Seeing the cold sweat on Ferdinand's head, William's heart also slid downward, he didn't expect that Gnord's gang was so bold, he thought who he was, who gave him such courage!
"You immediately send someone to control Gnod, and immediately inform the whole army of this extremely bad case, and at the same time give me all those responsible for it, I think some people will die this time!"
Hearing William's order, Ferdinand was a little shocked, it seems that William is ready to handle this matter strictly and seriously, otherwise William would not have been able to give an order to inform the whole army.
"Your Majesty, Gnord is a relative of His Royal Highness Louise after all, do you think you want to ask Her Highness Louise's opinion?"
Ferdinand cautiously tested "What to ask, no need to ask, Ferdinand, don't forget, I am the king of Prussia, my orders are supreme, and there is no one above me in the whole of Prussia!"
Ferdinand's temptation, how could William not understand, but obviously the seriousness of this case has exceeded William's imagination, if it can't be dealt with seriously, how can William convince the public!
Looking at William, whose expression did not match his age, Ferdinand had to resist and persuade again, he understood that since the little king had made up his mind, he could not change it.
Thinking of Ferdinand, he took his farewell to William and left, and he had to carry out William's orders.
After Ferdinand left, William slumped in his chair, although what he said just now, William said a righteous awe-inspiring one, but he also knew that his order had gone against Louise's will, and Gnord would become the biggest crack between mother and son, thinking of this, William's resentment towards that Gnod increased a little.
Gnord and his family rushed back to Brandenburg after leaving Sanssouci Palace, and he walked a little lightly along the way, although he often went to Sanssouci Palace, but often Wilhelm saw that he was only concerned about Louise's face and nodded his head.
Fortunately now, when Gnord heard the word uncle in William's mouth, his whole body felt floating, and although he pretended to be calm along the way, the trembling corners of his mouth from time to time had already revealed the excitement in his heart.
Jenny on the side looked at her husband's unbearable appearance with contempt, but obviously Jenny also understood the gold content of the word uncle spit out from William's mouth, which made Jenny even more obedient to her husband.

"Gnord, the Bohemian gang is here again, and they seem to be going to ask for some more horses this time" "Huh?
Didn't we already arrange more than 2,000 war horses for them, why do we want it again this time?
” Gnord asked his wife suspiciously "I don't know why, but this time they paid a higher price than last time, two hundred silver coins per horse, you see....."
"Pick it up, immediately contact the bohemians and tell them that we have taken the order, and by the way, you should contact Ruger again right away and tell him that we still have a batch of horses, so that he can get ready as soon as possible.
By the way, since we often take care of his business, tell him that if the price of each horse does not lower for me by two hundred ducats, don't expect me to take care of his business in the future."
"Gnord, I'm always a little uneasy in my heart, you said that we have sold so many horses, if we are found out in the future, it will not be a dead end" Jenny suddenly felt a little apprehensive, apparently she didn't think this kind of business was safe "What are you afraid of, haven't you heard His Majesty call me uncle?
I'd like to see who else in Prussia dares to check us, you just do business, don't worry about anything else!
” Gnord's categorical words reassured Jenny, and then the two talked about trivial matters.
Obviously, this is not the first time that either of them has done this kind of thing.
