Chapter 132 Three Orders
Today is a rare warm winter day, but Lampari XIII did not choose to enjoy the sunshine in the back garden of the kingdom as usual, but embraced a thick goose down quilt, half lying down and padded three layers On the futon bed, he slowly flipped through the documents in his hand.
Dema, the personal guard at the side, looked at Rampari XIII's pale cheeks that could barely see any blood color, his eyes flashed with deep worry, and he wanted to persuade Rampari XIII to take a break, but he opened his mouth and said nothing. He said it, but turned the magic lamp in the room brighter so that Lampari XIII could see it more clearly.
"Hey, Eric, you really have a group of pig teammates." Lampari XIII flipped through the documents in his hand, sneered, and turned to look at Dema. "Dema, has Seweini made any progress these days?"
Dema was slightly taken aback, thought for a while and quickly replied: "His Royal Highness has been in Bangta City for a while, busy with the overall renovation project of Bangta City. Some time ago, Bangta City was connected to Sandy River and The canal of the Rum River was officially opened, and she went to preside over the ceremony herself."
Lampari XIII nodded slightly: "Banta City is developing very well. If every city in the kingdom can be as worry-free as Bangta City, then I don't need to worry about the threat of the Sark Kingdom."
Dema hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, to be honest, although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has contributed the most to the development of Bangta City, if it weren't for the strong support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce from Her Royal Highness, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to develop. It went so well."
"What? Are you trying to remind me of Sevini's excellent vision?" Lampari XIII chuckled lightly.
"Your Majesty is wise, you must be able to see it." Dema quickly lowered her head.
Lampari XIII said hey: "I know what you want to say. But Dema, you should also be very clear. Even if I want to formally establish Seweni as the heir to the throne, I will face a lot of opposition. And you also Should be clear. Why would those guys object."
Dema smiled bitterly: "Because His Royal Highness can guarantee their interests, but Her Royal Highness cares more about the interests of the entire kingdom and the improvement of the lives of the common people."
"So... I have to give Seweney enough time to protect her and become stronger. Only her..."
Lampari XIII suddenly coughed violently.
Dema quickly picked up a cup of warm water and handed it over.
After taking two sips of water, Lampari XIII frowned and pointed to a cabinet opposite the bed.
"Go get that."
Dema was surprised: "Your Majesty, you should eat less of that thing, your body..."
Lampari XIII stared, and Dema immediately came to the cabinet obediently. Take a small jar out of it and pick up a small red pill from it.
Taking the pill from Dema's hand, Lampari XIII showed a self-deprecating smile, coughed violently for a while, frowned, and swallowed the pill in one gulp with the water in his hand.
A moment later, a blush appeared on Lampari XIII's face, which made him feel refreshed for a moment, and he even stopped coughing.
Dema looked at the revived Lampari XIII. The worry in his eyes intensified a bit.
Lampari XIII closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After opening his eyes again, his eyes shot a few gleams, as if he had returned to the time when he was in the prime of life a few years ago, and he had become the King that everyone in the kingdom feared from the bottom of their hearts.
"Dema, bring a pen and paper, and issue three royal decrees."
"First, order the Third Army of the Kingdom's Defense Legion to go to Sewell City to closely guard the northern border and prevent the Kingdom of Sark from invading from the south. After the Third Army enters Sewell City, it is subject to the local restraint of Sewell City, and all armaments are the same. It will be borne by Sewell City."
Hearing the first order, Dema's eyelids twitched.
As soon as this order was issued, it simply meant that the third army of the garrison became the exclusive city guard of Sewell City.
Not only will the Third Army be subject to local control in Sewell City in name, but the armaments will also be borne by Sewell City.
How could Earl Summer, a city lord known for his shrewdness, fail to understand His Majesty's intentions and hold the Third Army firmly in his hands.
"Secondly, order the kingdom's aristocratic council to audit Eric, Sevigny, and Durant's aristocratic status. As the king of the Lampari Kingdom, I propose to formally appoint the three as crown princes, who have all the rights of the crown prince."
Hearing the second order, Dema frowned deeply.
Although the three princes and princesses have been crown princes since they were born, this is only in name. Before they have been formally audited by the noble council, they only have this name, but do not have the relevant rights.
For example, as the crown prince, he will have the right to participate in the Kingdom Council. Before they have passed the audit of their noble status, they cannot formally participate in the Kingdom Council.
Among these various rights, the most important one is that before officially becoming the crown prince, although the three princes and princesses had personal guards, these guards belonged to His Majesty the King in name, and were assigned by His Majesty to protect the safety of their children. Their.
After officially becoming the crown prince, the three of them have the right to have their own private guards.
Unlike ordinary nobles, princes and daughters who have the status of crown prince can have a private guard of up to 5,000 people and enjoy the right to open recruitment.
In other words, as long as he officially became the crown prince, and the prince and princess were rich and powerful enough, he would be able to organize his own elite private guard.
This private guard can be said to be the core force of the three princes and crown princes, and it has extremely important significance.
Although it is the tradition of the Lampari Kingdom to allow the prince and princess who have the right to inherit the status of crown prince and organize a private guard before deciding on the heir to the throne, in the history of the Lampari Kingdom, it is generally the incumbent king who first determines the throne and adulthood. After that, in order to cultivate the heir to the throne, the heir to the throne will be given the status of crown prince.
But now Lampari XIII did not establish an heir to the throne at all, but chose to let the three princes and princesses all have the status of crown prince, which only appeared three times in the history of the Lampari Kingdom.
And in these three times. Each time with very bad consequences. The most serious one even caused civil strife throughout the kingdom.
after that. No other king would choose to do so.
Dema hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't bear the strong doubts in his heart, and said to Rampari XIII: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's not appropriate? Are you not worried about trouble?"
Lampari XIII glanced at Dema, and responded lightly: "Who do you think this order has the greatest impact on?"
Dema was startled, thought for a while, and suddenly realized.
Judging from the current situation of the Lampari Kingdom, although Prince Durant also has the right to inherit the throne. But no one thinks that he has the qualifications to compete with Prince Eric and Princess Seweney for the throne.
And because Prince Eric has won the support of many veteran nobles in the kingdom, although he does not have a private guard on the surface, he can actually influence the command of quite a few troops.
In addition, this time he was transferred to Luolun City as the city lord, and gained part of the power to deploy the northern army, which made the military power in his hands skyrocket.
On the contrary, Princess Seweni is rarely involved in military power, and what she can use at present is probably only a part of the guards sent to her by His Majesty the King.
Even if other nobles who support Princess Seweney can provide private troops, they are undoubtedly far behind Prince Eric.
So this order, in the final analysis, has the greatest impact on Princess Seweni.
If Princess Seweni can recruit five thousand private guards. Then her power will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
More importantly, Sevini has the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. As a result, her private guards will surely surpass other armies in other kingdoms in terms of armament.
However, the worry in Dema's heart has not diminished in the slightest.
Although His Majesty's order indirectly strengthened Princess Seweigny's power, wouldn't that mean officially pushing Prince Eric and Princess Seweney to the opposite side?
As if... for fear that they would not be able to fight each other...
Dema looked at Lampari XIII with a calm face and bright eyes, and couldn't believe that such a stupid order in his opinion came from Lampari XIII.
However, the habit of accompanying Lampari XIII for many years still made him write down this order honestly, and did not dare to refute it.
Seeing the unconcealable doubts on Dema's face, Lampari XIII smiled slightly and did not intend to explain. After Dema recorded the second order, he paused and continued: "Third, Order the Kingdom Commercial Administration to re-examine and review the neighboring countries of the Kingdom, and make a report on the feasibility and safety of trading with neighboring countries."
Dema was startled again, but he didn't expect the third order to suddenly shift to business.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to fully open the kingdom to foreign trade?" Dema asked.
When discussing this kind of issue, Dema's tone is much lighter.
"That's right." Lampari XIII nodded. "The reason why we didn't let it go before was because our kingdom was backward compared to other surrounding countries. If we let it go, it would only allow merchants from other countries to squeeze out the money of the people of our kingdom. But now... ...it's our turn to take their money."
Dema's expression was a little strange: "Your Majesty, you have too much confidence in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? They are the only chamber of commerce in our kingdom that really has an absolute advantage over other countries, but they alone may not be able to take on this important task?"
Lampari XIII snorted softly: "This guy Xu Yi is much more courageous than you imagined. Even without the support of the kingdom, he has already extended his hand to many surrounding countries. Now I help What he did was to make him develop faster, lest he stay in the kingdom and might be swallowed up by those guys one day."
Dema frowned and looked at Lampari XIII, thinking, Your Majesty, you are worried that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will be swallowed by others if it stays in Wang Guobei, so don't worry that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will go outside the kingdom and be caught by those who are more serious in other countries Will the greedy and ruthless guy swallow it?
