The spring sunshine shines warmly on people, and it seems to drive away all the cold air left in the body during the cold winter. It is so comfortable that people just want to lie down and not move at all. Especially in the pleasant-smelling garden, with a book covering your face and your whole body enveloped by the spring sunshine, it is simply a fairy-like day. "You will become a fat man if you continue like this!" Grace slapped away the thick book covering Phillip's face, and the man couldn't help but pull him up from the chair without resistance. "Have you eaten?" "Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat!" Grace poked Phillip on the forehead three times with her hand, with her hands on her hips, looking like she hated iron, "As the speaker of the parliament, Can you show yourself to the parliament to show that you are still alive?" "Ah!" Philip stretched out, took Grace over, and took a bite on her plump lips, "No. Is there Abdon? I have authorized Abdon, the deputy speaker, to take full responsibility for me? I didn¡¯t see it before, but I didn¡¯t expect that this guy is quite talented in politics.¡± Grace went crazy and tried hard on Philip. He pinched his waist and said, "Your Highness the Regent, what I'm saying is, can you please move a little bit now? Don't be like a pig. Eat and sleep every day, and eat when you sleep." Philip's face suddenly darkened, his expression Looking at Grace seriously, the duchess suddenly panicked. After all, Philip was the man of the house in this family, and it seemed that she had gone too far by speaking to him like that. "Actually, I'm doing something." "What?" Grace made up her mind. No matter what Phillip said later, she wanted to express a small apology. "Sitting in the vault counting gold coins, let me tell you, I count money every day until my hands cramp! Hey what are you doing?" "I'm looking for a knife. I can't live this day" After calming down Anthony's anger After the rebellion, Anthony proposed to Philip to marry Miranda in order to retain a share of the Cooper family. After discussing with Caroline and Grace's daughters, Philip had to bite the bullet and agreed to Anthony. At the same time, he was also considering whether to marry Miranda. It¡¯s not something nice and harmonious like putting chastity locks on the women in the family. After all, Miranda is a lesbian, if all her harem is seduced by her. Isn't it very cost-effective? Fortunately, Grace saw Phillip's little thoughts. Tell him that Miranda has long had a tendency to change from curved to straight, and the person who caused Miranda's change seems to be Phillip himself. What Anthony gave was worthy of what he asked for. There were hundreds of private shops spread across more than thirty provinces in Bugas, including grocery stores selling firewood, rice, oil and salt. There are also weapon shops and blacksmith shops that manufacture weapons and armor. In addition, there are dozens of shareholding and holding contracts for small and medium-sized chambers of commerce. Although they are all anonymous. But as long as the contract holder goes there, those chambers of commerce must recognize the contract holder's shareholder status. Of course, the most important thing is the treasury accumulated by the Cooper family for decades. This is also Philip's favorite thing to do every day. He uses a ladder to climb up the pile of gold coins piled as high as a hill, and then rolls and slides down from it. When the sound of gold "ding dong" hits in his ears, Phillip felt very happy. "Cough!" A cough interrupted the play between Philip and Grace. The man grabbed the woman's catkins, put it under his nose and smelled it, and Grace let Philip hug her with a blushing face. "Oh, General Abdon, ah, no, Mr. Deputy Speaker, I wonder why you are here?" Philip said to Abdon with a smile, taking off his military uniform and putting on a crisp suit, the former palace guard chief looked at him. It looks a bit like a successful middle-aged person. "Sir, there is a temporary meeting of the Parliament that requires your attendance." "Abdon, I have given all my rights to you, you can just handle it. It's not that you don't know that I am not interested in these." " But, sir, today's meeting is very important. Her Majesty the Queen, Lord Marshal, Prime Minister Hyde, and Reed are all present. " "Ah? That's it, then, Grace, tell Delia and Miranda that I am. I won¡¯t accompany you today.¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª The military disaster a few months ago can no longer be seen. The Imperial Council is still solemn and solemn as usual, and the blood stains on the walls have long been cleaned up, as if it was just like that day. Just like the innocent ghosts, they disappeared without a trace. There are many new faces in the parliament and many old acquaintances are missing. A large number of Republican congressmen resigned, and the impact of Anthony's rebellion was very large. As a Republican,?The leader of the party, Anthony represented this party, and his rebellion was also considered a Republican rebellion. According to the laws of the empire, members of Congress who participated in Antony¡¯s conspiracy will be removed from the membership immediately and will be tried at the same time. Since a large number of members were either imprisoned for participating in the rebellion or died due to the influence of the rebellion, there was a very large vacancy in the parliament. Caroline subsequently dissolved the parliament and held a new election. The people judged this rebellion with their own hands. Almost none of the Republican congressmen were elected. The remaining few said they were quitting the Republican Party and would switch to the Royalist Party. In the current parliament, the Royalist Party almost occupies All seats. The new government that emerged after the re-election of the parliament was greatly changed by Caroline. The prime minister's powers were split into three parts. The three core powers of diplomacy, intelligence, and internal security were taken back by Caroline, and the remaining The powers of the government were divided into two new official positions, the left prime minister and the right prime minister. The prime minister's position, which was originally one person above ten thousand people and below one person, was abolished. The military power was explicitly transferred to the military department, and the Government Affairs Council was independent and managed by the marshal, who reported to the emperor. The military chiefs in various places were no longer allowed to be appointed by the governor alone. They had to be appointed by military officers, and the emperor's signature was required for approval. . At the same time, the Phantom Man organization was separated and responsible for monitoring domestic and foreign intelligence and monitoring the conduct of officials, reporting only to Caroline. Of course, Colleen, the leader of the Illusive Man, would occasionally report to Philip in bed "Are you here?" Caroline stood at the door of the parliament hall and smiled sweetly at Philip. The sapphire blue palace dress matched her dazzling look. Blonde hair, noble yet beautiful, with the gentleness of a woman and the nobility of an emperor. "I'm here." He gently combed the hair around the Queen's ears. Although it was not messy, Phillip's tenderness and consideration made Caroline feel warm in her heart. "Let's go in." The queen held her fianc¨¦'s arm, and the two walked into the crowded hall together. "Ladies! Gentlemen! Please welcome our Queen and Prince Regent!" In the rich and resonant voice of the master of ceremonies, the parliamentarians stood and applauded to pay tribute to the most powerful unmarried couple in Bugas. While walking slowly and waving, Philip and Caroline walked to the podium and sat down according to the sign with their names on it. "Is there anything special today?" Philip asked Caroline. Seeing the Queen's expression of "I don't know either", Philip turned to ask his father sitting next to him, but the Marshal closed his eyes as if it was nothing to do with him. Philip and Caroline looked at each other. It seemed like their father knew about it. How dare these people hide the truth from the two most powerful people in the empire? Philip now single-handedly controls Wellington's military power. The two armies of the Guards have been restored to their original form. The original expeditionary army has been reorganized into the Third Army of the Guards. The insufficient numbers have been drawn from the Gallian garrison and veterans from various places. Selection. Now, Philip has one hundred thousand elite soldiers at his disposal. It can be said that the life of the entire Wellington people is now in his hands. However, since my father didn¡¯t remind me, it¡¯s definitely not a bad thing. ? Phillip simply sat calmly, waiting for what might happen next. In front of a group of big shots, Abton stood in the position of spokesperson and first gave a routine welcome speech, praising our party and our army for successfully surviving several difficult months under the glorious leadership of Her Majesty Caroline. During this period, under the collective leadership with Her Majesty the Queen as the core, the empire has made great achievements in all aspects "Today, the empire has stabilized. On the border, the Republic of Mandal has automatically retreated a hundred kilometers. At home, the remnants of Anthony It has been wiped out, and the empire has returned to its former peace" Having said this, Abton suddenly turned around and faced Philip and Caroline, "Today, I represent more than 300 members of the empire and thousands of people in the empire. Thousands of people proposed to His Majesty and His Highness, asking them to get married as soon as possible, so as to give birth to a new heir for our Bugas Empire as soon as possible and ensure the long-term prosperity and stability of the empire. " Caroline's face suddenly turned red, and it completely disappeared. The majestic and aloof person in the past was just like an ordinary girl, lowering her head in shame. Phillip was anxious. Abdon was usually very reliable. Why did he give me such a big problem today? You are asking me to propose marriage! But you need a ring to propose! Where can I find a ring for you now? Philip felt that he had never been so nervous when he was surrounded by Anthony.??Wandered. Someone calmly handed a small square box to me under the table, and I accepted it calmly. It was such a big pigeon egg! Phillip was overjoyed, and his father was still reliable at the critical moment. etc? A diamond ring? Phillip glanced at his father and said, "You guys have already colluded!" ?? Phillip feels like he is a typical person who helped count the money after being sold, and praised his father for being cheated by him. Philip couldn¡¯t help but think about the reality. He took out the pigeon eggs from the box, pulled out his chair, and knelt down on one knee. "Dear Caroline, what they say is what I think, Caroline Hodel, the pearl of the Bugas Empire, will you marry me and become my wife?" At this moment, the noble The Queen's eyes filled with tears, she covered her mouth with her hands and nodded desperately. The audience burst into thunderous applause, which shook the roof!
