The weapon of the country

The Duke of Lennox smiled briefly, stared at a sealed letter on the table with deep eyes, and beckoned Langley to come forward.

The background pattern of the letter turned out to be the pattern of the royal family. Langley was astonished, "This is...that...His Highness?"

"This is a letter from the Crown Prince." The Duke of Lennox calmly unfolded the letter, "or to be precise, a love letter."

Langley cast a glance uncontrollably. The beautiful and slender cursive script wrote the title "Written on the occasion of parting from you". and tears to write sad and moving poems.

This young girl is only 14 years old, and her fiancé is nearly forty years old.The huge age difference makes this love letter creepy to read.Langley said with difficulty, "Do you think His Highness really has a crush on you, or..."

"I know too much about his mother, and I know too little about him. Whether it's true or false, being able to write a love poem to a bad old man is not something that can be underestimated."

Of course "he" not "she", the 14-year-old princess is a boy.His mother, Lady Megan, was a court lady and the governess of Edwin II's sister, Princess Margaret, who became the emperor's mistress by teaching the princess to approach Edwin II.

According to the regulations of the imperial family, only the queen can give birth in the Zigong, so only the children born in the Zigong are eligible to inherit the throne, and the children of other mistresses are illegitimate children without inheritance rights.Mrs. Megney was pregnant but concealed her pregnancy. She quietly gave birth to the emperor's heir in a remote part of the Purple Palace. She lied about her sex and claimed it was a baby girl. " performance, took the baby girl to the monastery.

She is obviously an ambitious woman who is good at calculating. The noble monastery is a safe place that assassins cannot set foot in. When Edwin II became a short-lived ghost at the age of 32, and all legitimate children died without knowing why, the purple palace was born. The little princess hidden in the monastery became the first heir to the throne. The seriously ill Mrs. Megan made a marriage contract for her "daughter" with a powerful protector—the Duke of Lennox. The Empress Dowager died of illness on the carriage from the monastery to the Palace of Bailey.

It is worth mentioning that many people are speculating that the "death of illness" was the work of the Duke of Lennox.

Is the crown prince who lost his mother a helpless and innocent "daughter", or another ambitious man who wants to use the Palace of Baileys as a stage?As the husband and mentor of the future queen, the Duke of Lennox picked up the quill and continued to write the textbook.

On the thick paper, a line of text is written smoothly with the nib dipped in ink, and the words and sentences are simple enough for young children to read.

"On Rule Tenth": Rulers don't need to care about the living conditions of their subjects, but only need to consider how to rule for a long time. Just imagine, if you step too lightly on the back of a kneeling person, they will want to stand up because of the ease ;If you step too hard on the kneeling people's back, they will also want to stand up because of the pain. Only by controlling the strength can they kneel down for a long time..."

At [-] o'clock in the morning on April [-], the imperial mission headed by the Duke of Lennox boarded the "Amethyst" and returned to the imperial capital of Watton from Xindu International Airport.

The passers-by and others kept smiling, and watched the nobles walk up the "Amethyst" floating ladder with their hems lifted. They were all relieved and let out a long breath.

Zhuang Ye only felt the boulder pressing on his chest loose, and he smiled unconsciously. He subconsciously sought to meet Shen Han's gaze, but he saw Shen Han looking at the back of the Duke of Lennox. .

"What are you worried about?" he asked softly in a low voice.

"I always feel that the Duke left too easily." Shen Han smiled, "But what is 'difficult to leave'? Probably my illusion."

In Zhuang Ye's heart, it was as if a glass bottle filled with water was placed at an angle, and an uneasy feeling flowed away.He followed Shen Han's gaze to the "Amethyst", and the magnificent flagship took off, leaving a huge shadow on the tiny crowd on the ground.

Twelve hours later, ten o'clock in the evening.

The whole city was illuminated by strong lights, the roar shook the city awake, and the collapse of large-scale circuits plunged Xindu into chaos and panic that was darker than darkness.

"What happened?" "Is the end of the world!" People rushed to the street and screamed, and the falling objects smashed through the tall buildings like meteorites with the high temperature of air friction.

Major Mo ran from the medical corridor, the oxygen in his lungs was burning, he was still breathing, the elevator door had already opened, he couldn't stop his feet slipping and rushed into the base meeting room.The first time I saw Shen Han, I opened my mouth to ask, but I couldn't speak. After breathing heavily, I realized that the place was brightly lit and everyone was present.

"What news did you get?" Shen Han held him up, motioned him not to speak, and asked the nominal supreme officer for instructions.

The light shone on Major General Wu's sweaty head, his face was pale, "There is nothing, there is no news, the military department wants us to stand by..."

"Haven't you entered military control yet?" Shen Han asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

After it is judged that a federal city has been attacked by a military force, the city will be taken over by the garrison of the military department, which is called "martial control".The relationship between the government and the military is delicate. As the capital, Xindu is of great significance. The government certainly does not want the military to take over the overall situation.

At this time, the military department and the presidential palace were still arguing about whether to enter military control. Everyone in the conference room knew it well and fell into a brief silence.

President Yang, the founding father of the Federation, was called a "military president" or, worse, a "warmonger". At the end of his administration, anti-war thinking became more and more intense. President Yang himself was assassinated to death by anti-war elements.

After his death, the anti-war faction reorganized the government. For a century, the president has always been a politician of the anti-war faction. The military department was strangled by them and turned into a beast in a cage.Later, when the empire went to war, the federation had to go through a war with the empire, and the military power gradually rose in the war. The current president could not prevent the military from taking control of power again, and he was even more cautious and guarded against the military.

"It's ridiculous!" Major Mo murmured, "We are the guardians of the people, and the citizens of Xindu are panicking, yet we have to sit here because of those damn 'political issues' and 'political influence', we can't do anything !"
