Chapter 562

April 28, 291 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

21:25 p.m.

Britannia Empire, pandragon, Baiyang palace, gozeven's study.

"Your Majesty." Jacob rushed to gozewen sitting behind his desk and said, "the fiscal revenue in the past three months has been counted, and the fiscal revenue in the past three months is also very good. Now the fiscal revenue of our British Empire is rising month by month, and the national strength is constantly rising. It's really a good momentum."

"Yes."

After handling state affairs for a day, gozewen, who was a little tired on his face, nodded gently.

"Well, thank you, Jacob. Get back first. "

"Yes."

Jacob answered "yes" and turned away.

However, as soon as Jacob turned around, gozeven suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Jacob."

"Huh? Does your majesty have anything else to say? "

"You don't have to call me your Majesty in private." Ge zewen smiled, "when I was just the crown prince, you were my best friend. We have been friends for decades. In private, you don't have to call me your majesty."

"Oh, gozeven, what else can I do for you? I still have a lot of things to do. If there's anything important, just say it quickly. "

"Although you don't have to speak honorifics to me in private, don't be too casual in your tone and tone of voice!"

"Just a little joke." Jacob's mouth turned up slightly, showing a shallow smile, "well, let's get down to business. Gozevin, suddenly called me, "what's up?"

"... alas."

After being silent for a while, gozewen gave a low sigh.

"Jacob, do you remember what Gail said to him this morning?"

"... of course."

"What do you think of Gail?"

“……”

Jacob was silent.

Gozevin's question was so big that Jacob didn't know how to answer gozevin's question for a moment.

While Jacob was thinking and answering, gozeven asked himself and replied:

"I think - Gail, he doesn't seem suitable to be an emperor..."

"Your Majesty?!" Jacob exclaimed.

He threw a surprised look at GE zewen.

It would be fine if such a remark were made by an idle person, but it was said by gozeven and the current emperor of the britannian Empire, and its meaning is different.

Gozeven ignored Jacob's surprised eyes, but continued to say to himself:

"Gail, although he has good ruling ability and skills, he has a very bad, or fatal weakness."

"That is, his temperament is a little too cruel. He doesn't know what compassion for civilians is."

"Before Gail, when he went to various places for training, I always received various reports of impeachment of Gail..."

"Among so many impeachment reports, what has the deepest impact on me is that there was a small mountain flood in a certain place. When Gail organized people to go to disaster relief, he showed no compassion for the people who went to participate in disaster relief. In order to provide disaster relief quickly, Gail has always asked the disaster relief personnel to work overload and was unwilling to give them even a little rest time, It's like using them as animals... "

"Gail's behavior has blinded several local district magistrates and sheriffs. They jointly wrote a report on impeachment of Gail to me."

"I don't know how many similar impeachments I have received before, but after receiving this impeachment report that is longer than any previous impeachment and has more joint names than any previous impeachment, I realized that I can't ignore Gail's cruel character..."

"However - although I have told him everything, he doesn't seem to listen, or listen, but he doesn't intend to change..."

"After hearing Gail's words this morning, I'm sure that Gail's cruel and thoughtless character has not restrained at all!"

Speaking of this, gozewen slowly clenched his right fist.

"In terms of personal ability, Gail has no problem being an emperor, but to be an emperor and the master of a country, ability alone is not enough. While having ability, he also needs a heart of benevolence and a heart that knows how to sympathize with the hard work of the people..."

"Gail, what he lacks is a kind heart..."

"If Gail is allowed to be emperor after my death, I'm afraid there will be another tyrant in the British Empire..."

"A cruel emperor who has the ability to govern but does not know how to sympathize with the people..."

After listening to gozevin silently, Jacob sighed and then said:

"Ge zewen... It's OK for you and me to talk about this. Don't say it in front of others. The emperor scolded the crown prince and said that the crown prince was not suitable to be an emperor. What would they think if some interested people heard it?"

"... I know that." Gozevin waved his hand. "Jacob, you've always been smarter and sharper than me. You should have noticed Gail's cruel character long ago, right? I noticed how risky it would be to be an emperor if Gail had such a character. "

“……”

Jacob bowed his head and said nothing.

After a long silence, Jacob nodded gently.

At this time, gozewen continued to say in a deep voice:

"Before me, our britannian Empire had several tyrants and tyrants. Thanks to the blessing of these bastard predecessors, our country was riddled with holes."

"The joint efforts of Jacob, you and all good officials and generals for so many years have finally restored the vitality of the britannian empire."

"I must not let the British Empire fall into the hands of another tyrant." Gozewen's expression became more and more serious, "especially in the hands of a tyrant who doesn't know how to sympathize with the people..."

"Alas..." Jacob sighed, "gozeven, what's the use of these words? You have only one son, only one crown prince. Who else can the next emperor of the British Empire be except Gail? Now we can only hope that Gail, after he ascends the throne, his cruel and compassionate character will converge a little. "

"... who said I was the only candidate for the crown prince?"

"Ha?" Jacob put on a joking tone, "gozewen, have you ever left love somewhere and had an illegitimate life..."

Had an illegitimate son? Before Jacob could finish this sentence, he felt as if his throat was choked by something and couldn't say a word again.

Jacob looked at gozeven with unbelievable eyes, and the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly.

"Gozeven, what do you mean?!"

Hoo

A cool, cold night wind blew in from the gap in the window and swept over an oil lamp placed on the desk.

Under the night wind, the flame of the oil lamp swayed and shook.

He blew his expressionless face bright and dark.

The wind suddenly blowing into the study, the lights flickering with the wind, and the face illuminated by the lights all made the atmosphere in the study more treacherous and heavy.

"... don't we still have a crown prince?" Gozewen said in a deep voice, "she just had her eighth birthday yesterday."
