I am Honkai!

"If you tell you to say it, just say it! Why are you dawdling?!"

Lying on the bed, the Emperor of the Empire was a little displeased at Ernest's evasion.

Ornest didn't know why the emperor of the empire is so powerful today, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: "Yes! The achievement of destroying the alien race in the Southwest is enough to be named an earl and a general."

The emperor was silent, and just stared at Ernest. Whether it was earl or general, it should have been intended, but it was all imaginary. There was no specific official position. Ernest was still very tactful. Didn't say the same.

Ornest knew that this should be the last test of the emperor of the empire. However, it would be the ministers of the empire who are under one person and over tens of thousands of people. However, it is very likely that the family will die.

Immediately, Ernest considered it very carefully, and then said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is still necessary, and then grant General Selene the position of commander of the Imperial Guard..."

"Ahem..." Lying on the bed, perhaps because of too much thinking, the Emperor of the Empire looked a little tired, coughing and asked again: "Then which legion do you think is suitable? Or let him form a new legion ?”

"Your Majesty decides, how dare the old minister speak nonsense." After finishing speaking, Ernest knelt down directly on the ground, with his forehead deeply pressed against the ground, without saying a word.

But this time, the emperor didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded, expressing his agreement with Ernest.

It is actually normal to confer the position of commander of one of the Twelfth Legion of the Praetorian Guards again. Selene already has two major legions. The position of general.

The position of the above-mentioned general commanded the third of the Twelfth Legion of the Imperial Guards, and ranked second among the military officers of the empire, which is considered more appropriate.

"Understood...Come here, draw up the decree! Selene von Habsburg, the Earl of Habsburg, is the governor of the Far North Province of the Empire. From now on, the Far North Province will be renamed Habsburg Fort province...cough cough..."

"Gift: 500 million yuan in money, a thousand taels of gold...cough cough cough cough...ten royal chefs, one option for the Teigu Treasure House, one Shangcheng manor...and the expansion of his mansion."

"Advance to the rank of general, and concurrently serve as the commander of the Fourth Legion of the Imperial Guard Army, commanding the fourth, eighth, and ninth regiments of the Imperial Guard Army, and responsible for maintaining public security in the upper city of the Imperial Capital and the southern lake area."

After speaking in one breath, the Emperor of the Empire suddenly felt a little numb, and then began to cough violently, "...cough cough cough..."

"His Majesty!"

Whether Ornest is really concerned about the emperor's condition is hard to say, it is likely to be acted, but Bude is genuinely worried about his emperor's condition, and immediately shouted eagerly: "Quickly send the imperial doctor!"

"Ahem...no need, I know my body...cough..." With difficulty, the emperor straightened his body upright with the support of the attendant, "...what are you waiting for! Eight Hurry up! Send the order to General Selene!"

"Yes... yes, yes!" The waiter at the side ran out immediately upon hearing this.

Bude asked with some hesitation: "Then the court is over there, do you want to inform the ministers?"

As if he didn't hear Bude's words, the Emperor of the Empire sighed and said, "It's a pity... I can't see the prisoner offering ceremony of Qing Selene, she is not yet 20 years old. People with such strength...are rare."

"It's a pity...cough cough cough, I am old and I will never see you again."

Ernest hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is blessed, such a minor illness..."

Before Ornest finished speaking, the emperor snorted coldly, noncommittal, and said, "Slander, don't lie to me anymore, I know my body..."

Ernest lowered his head, not daring to speak.

Seeing Ernest kneeling respectfully under the steps, the emperor of the empire sighed. The short man was the tallest. In recent generations of civil servants, only Ernest still has some ability... the whole group left by Jolly The pedantic people who talk about the truth and only talk about it!

Alas... This damn body, if you give me some time... If Ernest can't do it, I also have time to observe and replace...

Now I have no ability to change...and it is impossible to change...Uh...uh...Suddenly, the Emperor of the Empire clutched his chest, a sharp pain in his heart, he stopped breathing, his face turned red, With a painful grunt, "..."

The Emperor of the Empire fell on the bed in pain, his whole body twitching.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!" the waiting waiter roared in horror.

"Doctor!!!"

Paralyzed on the bed, the emperor trembled all over, wanting to speak loudly, but he couldn't do it at all.

"Send...the decree...go...go out." Exhausting all his strength, he spoke the final will, and the emperor passed out immediately. This time, his breath of life seemed to be extinguished as fragile.

"His Majesty!"

......

On the other hand, without knowing all the things that happened in the imperial capital, Selene walked leisurely along the official roads of the empire.

That's right, Selene delayed on purpose. Do you think she is willing to perform some "loyal minister and good general" in the court?

It can be delayed as long as it can, based on the estimation of the emperor's condition before the expedition, the time of death should be in the near future.

After the death of the old emperor, Ornest will completely take power, and there will be no so many restrictions!

It's better to wait for a few more days, and it's better to wait for the old emperor to be completely buried before I return to the imperial capital. In this way, all etiquette can be avoided.

Well, let’s do it like this, let’s treat it as a trip to the mountains and rivers, Selene thought of it, and her expression became more and more relaxed.

Chapter 140 The Gourmet Selene

Since we want to enjoy, how can there be no entertainment.

In the luxury carriage, eating hot pot and singing songs, along the way, Selene's mood became more and more cheerful. This is life.

As for whether there will be gangsters coming to rob people, Selene is not worried at all, hum, tens of thousands of troops are crowding around the carriage!

"Uh huh huh...uh huh..."

Although it is nonsense, and there is no desire in this regard, isn't it a beautiful thing to pursue strength, pursue power, and realize things that I dare not even imagine before?

If it was before the war, facing Selene's leisurely and slow march, some people might have made suggestions, but because of Selene's great victory in the southwest, any move of Selene is correct in their eyes!

Look, the general can obviously go back to the imperial capital to accept the reward, but because he was worried that we would be attacked by the rebel army when we escorted so many prisoners, he stayed with us to "share weal and woe" and live such a life of "eating and sleeping in the open".

So, Selene was also a little puzzled, why did these people patrol so hard one by one?

Of course, Estes is clearly not included.

Looking at Selene who was leisurely cooking hot pot, Esdeth, who was sitting next to Selene, was obviously a little uncomfortable.

Although 100% complies with Selene's will, Esdeth can't help but ask when she has objections. At this moment, there are a lot of questions in her little head.

"General, why are we walking so slowly? Is it to prevent the rebels from sabotaging? Or... oh, thank you General."

Soon, the mandarin duck pot in front of me was filled with steam, bubbling and bubbling, and the flavors of various spices mixed together, making people want to whet their appetites.

High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods!

I don't know how the taste of the dangerous meat mixed with these hot pot dipping sauces is, "Eat it while it's hot... If you want to eat anything, cook it yourself." Selene seemed to have not heard, focusing on her big business of shabu-shabu .

At present, there is no time to talk about unnecessary nonsense, the most important thing is to have a good meal first.

Esther took the dangerous meat slices that Selene had picked up with a cute face. Looking at the meat slices wrapped in various spices in the bowl, Estes became more sure of his guess.

Esdes is a family that specializes in hunting dangerous species. The daughter of the patriarch of the Baluts clan naturally has no shortage of dangerous species of meat to eat, but isn't the method for dangerous species of meat roasted, boiled, and sprinkled with salt?

As for other kinds of spices, they are sold more expensive than the higher-level dangerous meat in the northern border of the empire, and Esthers can't eat them a few times throughout the year.

But... Since following Selene, all kinds of unheard-of luxurious eating methods have deeply shocked her, a "bumpkin" who came from the bitter cold place on the northern border of the empire.

Such a small piece of meat uses more than ten kinds of spices?

Sure enough, before Lord Selene was a strong man, she was still a great nobleman. This life is really too "luxury".

"Huh?" Selene was happily rinsing the thin slices of dangerous meat, and suddenly noticed that Esdes was staring blankly at the slices of meat in the bowl?

What's going on here?Could it be that the hot pot sauce I bought from Academy City is not tasty?Still not to her taste?

Selene immediately asked with some doubts: "...Why, is it not to your taste?"

"No...just you, General..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Selene: "Why do you think so much, let's talk about it after eating."

Looking at Selene who was already eating a big piece, Esdeth said half a sentence, "Actually, you general... don't worry about the captives, I will take care of it. You can go back to the imperial capital first." Swallowed back into the stomach.

The strong dominate the weak, you are stronger than me, even if there are many doubts, she will follow.

Estes sighed helplessly, stood at attention and saluted: "Understood!"

Sitting down again, looking at Selene with a satisfied smile on her face, Esdeth secretly said, "The fragrance is so strong, I don't know how it tastes in my mouth, um... let's eat first!"

"Zizi...hiss...wuwuwu..." After taking a sip, Esdeth's big eyes instantly widened, and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

Whether it's dangerous meat or ordinary vegetables, after being boiled with this magical...well, the hot pot base that General Selene said, it has a brand new taste, which makes people full of praise.

Although she doesn't care much about her appetite, this rich taste and distinct chewing feeling really make her, a northerner who is used to single-salt roast food, have endless aftertaste.

The ultimate refreshing feeling blooms on the tip of the tongue and taste buds, crazily stimulating the nerve center of Estes, as if entering a new food world.

"Good... good time (to eat)!"

......

About half a month later, as Selene's army gradually approached the imperial capital, the old emperor of the empire could not survive the end of the year after all.

At the end of 1014 in the Imperial Calendar, on a sunny day, under the watchful eyes of a group of civil and military ministers with evil intentions, the emperor closed his eyes forever and ended the exercise of the supreme power of the empire.

The last real emperor of the empire died of illness.

The servant who was serving suddenly burst into tears, and there was a burst of crying in the whole hall.

Although many young princes who knelt before the sick bed of the old emperor didn't know what happened, they were all scared to cry by them. The crying quickly spread throughout the entire palace, and then appeared in the entire palace city.

Not long after, the entire imperial capital was immersed in the pain and sorrow of losing the supreme ruler. Today, the empire lost its emperor.

In the palace hall, except for Minister Hornest and General Bude, no one knew whether His Majesty had left any will, nor did they know what agreement the two Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs had reached.

That night, when the bones of the old emperor were still cold, an "accidental" chaos quietly broke out in the palace.

With screams, begging for mercy, shouts, and slashing, princes and princesses fell in a pool of blood one after another, and even concubines and a large number of attendants were not spared.

The whole palace was filled with the smell of blood, and the most strange thing was that General Budde, the highest military officer in the imperial capital, seemed to have not seen it, ignoring the death of all the emperor's heirs except the little prince. .

As the moonlight faded and the sun gradually rose, all the smoke and blood had disappeared, and the imperial palace of the empire was still so resplendent, as if the massacre last night had never happened.

It's just that many palaces in the palace city have become empty, countless waiters and maids have become new faces, and many old faces have never appeared again.

Chapter 140 Three Young Emperors

Time flies by, the year 1014 in the imperial calendar has gone, and the time has come to the year 1015 in the imperial calendar, January.

With the old emperor's funeral and burial at the end of 1014, the relevant mourning matters ended, and the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the empire was approaching, and the imperial capital became lively again.

The grand ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne dilutes the shadow of the old emperor's death.

Thanks to Selene's great victory in the foreign war, the empire's prestige among the people is still very good, and the foreign races in all directions are also frightened by the terrifying war potential shown by the empire not long ago, and they did not jump out to find trouble.

1015 in the Imperial Calendar, January, this commemorative day, God is very generous, it seems to be favoring the empire.

Today, there is no bitter cold wind, nor heavy snow in winter. Although the earth is still covered in white snow, it looks extraordinarily sacred.

The sky of the imperial capital is extraordinarily high, the sun hangs high, the sun shines everywhere, the air is extraordinarily refreshing, and the wind is no longer so cold and biting.

On this sunny day, the Imperial City, the Imperial Central Hall.

The only surviving bloodline of the old emperor is also his youngest heir. In this tall and majestic palace hall, he is like a puppet on a string, numbly going through the complicated process of enthroning.

Finally, accompanied by Ernest and Bude, he slowly walked towards the throne of the highest power center of the empire.

With the little prince officially sitting on the throne of the emperor, the ceremony and music ended in due course, and the Central Empire, which existed for thousands of years, ushered in its youngest ruler.

"Congratulate, kneel before him, swear to him! Beyond generations, with a thousand years of glory in one body, ruler of the world, shepherd of the world, darkness crawls at his feet, light will protect him forever, until the end of time ...The king is in the world! Rule the people!! Now is the time for the new emperor to be crowned!!!"

Illuminated by the golden chandelier, the whole palace looks even more resplendent.

Sitting on the throne on the highest step of the hall, the young emperor was wearing a coronation costume made by the best craftsmen in the country with the cloth specially provided by the royal family.

Wearing a crown, dark green short shoulder-length hair neatly combed behind his head, fair skin, and small immature palms with difficulty holding the scepter that symbolizes the emperor's power.

Although his young face had been as serious and solemn as possible, the panic in his light green eyes revealed that he was not at peace at this moment.

At the moment when Ernest and Bude, the heads of civil and military ministers, took the lead to kneel down, the whole hall was immediately covered by the shouts of long live from the ministers.

"Long live Your Majesty, long live the Empire!"

......

Time passed, and the new emperor of the empire had been enthroned for more than a month, and Selene's army finally marched to the Gyeonggi area.

Returning to the imperial capital, Selene's mood was unusually stable and comfortable.

Leaving aside the turmoil in the future imperial capital, the current imperial capital, at least the country and the people, is thriving. In the eyes of countless people, it has an "infinite" future.

And for Selene at this time, there is no need to pay too much attention to the upcoming things, it has nothing to do with her, let Ernest make trouble.

The imperial city was still bustling and bustling, and the news of the return of Selene's army did not disturb the hustle and bustle here.
