MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 696 :I control my own life......
Consciousness returned to the body, Simon opened his eyes, and the Pope Moonlight hurried over: "How is it, have you got what you want?"
Simon shook his head: "It's not a success, but at least there is a chance to try."
Before that, he knew that this request would probably not be granted, because as a god, the Moonlight Goddess actually had a way out, and at worst she would lose face and return to the elf **** system again.
But they are different from mortals. The Silver Moon Kingdom has been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and they either choose to fight hard, or become a vassal of the empire, and act according to the faces of others.
So he was already very satisfied to get a chance to try it out.
Pope Moonlight breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, gods only have interests in their eyes. He was very afraid that Goddess Moonlight would give them up without even giving them a chance.
Looking at Simon who was slowly getting up from the cross-legged position, Pope Moonlight showed relief in his eyes, and stepped forward to put his hands on his shoulders: "Good boy, do what you should do!"
Simon's eyes were a little sour, and the emotion, sadness, and helplessness emerged all over his head, which almost made him cry.
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Simon adjusted his state, nodded to the Moonlight Pope, then walked out of the cathedral, took the king's exclusive carriage, and returned to the palace.
Entering the king's study, Simon ordered with a blank expression: "Ask the clerk and the prime minister to come and see me!"
"Yes!" The guard immediately went to summon him, and the two came to Simon in a short while.
Prime Minister Medel asked, "Your Majesty summoned us, what is your order?"
Simon sat behind the desk, crossed his fingers, and looked at the two with a blank expression: "The railway project, the southern border that Deborah is in charge of has been completed, and I hope the northern border will also be completed before the end of the year."
To fight against the empire, the Silvermoon Kingdom must be highly united, and a railway that runs through the kingdom's north and south is the next thing that must be had.
Mike scratched his hair in embarrassment: "The northern border is different from the southern border. It has a large population. It will not be possible to move people from the planned railway line in a short time."
Simon looked at the two in a flat tone: "If you can't do it, resign and leave!"
He knew very well that in this world, nobles could even kill people recklessly, let alone relocate them with compensation.
The reason why the railway project is difficult to start in the north has nothing to do with the people on the railway line, it is entirely because of the obstruction of the nobles, especially those lords with fiefdoms.
After all, the lords are not stupid. Once the Silver Moon Kingdom establishes a fast transportation system, the role of the lords will be infinitely reduced, and they may be liquidated by the king at any time.
Mike's heart skipped a beat, and he and Medel looked at each other in blank dismay. As veteran nobles in the capital, they had high political literacy, so they naturally understood what Simon meant.
The resignation and resignation that the king said was not a simple resignation and resignation. It is very likely that the entire family will be squeezed out of the kingdom's power hierarchy, and the painstaking efforts of more than a dozen generations will be burned.
Medel was silent for a long time: "Understood, we will urge the completion of the railway project as soon as possible!"
A dead fellow is not a poor fellow, and now that both of them can't protect themselves, what's the pressure and courtship from the lord?
"Very good, I'll go back to Xinfaling. I hope you can come up with a specific plan before I come back." Simon slowly got up, turned around and disappeared into the void.
In the empty king's study, Mike and Medel fell silent.
After coming here for a while, Medel finally regained his composure, frowned and asked, "Do you feel that Your Majesty has become a little different?"
Mike nodded solemnly: "It's really different!"
He and Simon are also old friends. In the past contacts, Simon's temperament has always been reserved and introverted, and his external behavior is also gentle and lazy.
But in today's conversation, the former Simon has completely disappeared, and only the Silver Moon King is in front of them!
At this moment, Irina hurriedly pushed the door open: "I heard that Simon is back, where is he?"
"His Royal Highness!"
Mike and Medel immediately greeted each other respectfully, and replied: "Your Majesty has something to do, I'm back in Xinfa."
Irina frowned in dissatisfaction. She had just returned from the empire and was so busy that no one was there. She and the child also needed someone to accompany them.
…
Christine is working in the lord's mansion. Since Deborah became the chief executive of the southern border, the government affairs of the Alpine Territory and the New French Territory have been handed over to him.
Ripples appeared in the void beside him, and Simon walked out of it, startling Christine, and hurriedly got up to say hello: "Brother, no,...Your Majesty the King!"
Simon glanced at his younger brother indifferently: "Yes, he has matured."
Christine seemed a little cautious, not knowing what gesture to use to communicate with this old king, so he could only touch his hair and smile bitterly in embarrassment.
Simon also noticed this, so he said, "Keep working on your business, I just came here to get something, and I'll leave after I'm done."
After finishing speaking, he peeled away the portraits on the wall and took out three books from the safe embedded in the wall.
The Civil Code, the Criminal Code, and the Basic Law, these three books of his painstaking efforts during the new legal period, have been left for too long, and a layer of dust has accumulated on the surface.
"Old man, long time no see!" Gently wiping off the dust on the surface of the three codes with a paper towel, a smile appeared on the corner of Simon's mouth, but it disappeared soon.
Reform requires bloodshed and sacrifices. The reason why the new law was able to implement the new law was because this territory had just been opened up, there were no conservative forces, and he was able to say the same thing in the territory.
However, if the new law is to be implemented in the entire Silver Moon Kingdom, it will inevitably encounter countless difficulties, which is why he did not implement the new law before.
He is afraid of trouble, and he doesn't have so many ambitions. Since the people's life can still go by, then he, the king, doesn't want to ask for trouble, just make do with it.
But now, in order to fight against the oppression of the empire, the Silvermoon Kingdom must release more potential!
The reform is imminent, and only the reform can pull the Silver Moon Kingdom out of the quagmire...
Seeing that Simon was about to leave after picking up the three codes, Christine quickly stopped him, grabbed his hair and said, "Well, brother, oh no, Your Majesty, don't you go back to Alpine Castle? Father and Mother, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Simon stopped in his tracks and fell silent. He really hadn't seen his parents for a long time.
"I'll go back to Alpine Fort." Before he finished speaking, Simon disappeared in front of Christine.
Looking at the empty study room again, Christine frowned. How could he feel that this old man had become a little different.
However, as a king, it seems that there should be some changes...
…
The alpine castle at dusk is like an old man. Although Simon has built a more comfortable mansion, the Valery couple still like to live here.
After all, the older people are, the more they like nostalgia...
Simon walked out of the void and landed on the highest point of the Alpine Fort.
In the Alpine Castle below, the five big and three rough maids are sweeping the floor and cooking, and the guards are guarding all over the castle diligently, just like he was when he was a child, and like the ancestors of the Hawke family, they have never changed.
The light of dusk shone on Simon, recalling all the things he had when he was a child, a smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and on a whim, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Swallow a golden pill into my stomach, and my fate is up to me!"
The howling sound startled everyone in the castle, and the guards began to search for the intruder in a panic.
Standing at the top of the castle, Simon laughed unscrupulously like a child who had succeeded in a prank, but after a few laughs, it turned into a wry smile again: "This should be the last time I will be willful."
He doesn't want to grow up, but the coldness of reality urges him to grow up all the time.
Valery dispersed the guards who were gathering for vigilance, jumped to his side, and said with a dark face, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Simon was a little dazed, he seemed to have seen this scene there, next, should the old knight who cared about him come out~www.novelbuddy.com~ No, the knight of Silver...has been in Ye Lin Died in the Battle of the River.
A great sadness hit him, almost made him cry. Although he didn't feel anything at the time, but thinking about it now, why did he want to cry so much?
Seeing that Simon's condition was not right, Valery asked concerned: "Are you alright?"
Burying the sadness deep in his heart again, Simon shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just go back to Xinfa to get some things, and I will see you and mother by the way."
Valery shrugged: "Your mother and I are fine."
Simon's mental power swept across the entire Alpine Fort, and found that his mother, Hina, was making clothes in the room and did not come out to see him.
But he could see the white hair on his mother Sheena's head, and the same on his father Valery.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Simon's mouth again. He is already twenty-seven this year. His mother should be in his fifties this year, and his father should be in his sixties. It should be so old.
Time is really ruthless...
When he came back to his senses, Simon smiled and looked at Valery: "Then I'm relieved, by the way, father, the king's meeting early next year... remember to attend."
Valéry was a little confused. The roads in the southern region were inconvenient. Unless it was a special case, the lords of the southern region would basically not attend the king's meeting.
Could it be that something happened?
He wanted to ask clearly, but Simon didn't want to stay in this place full of memories, so he turned around and disappeared into the void.
Valery shook his head helplessly, this brat, no matter what, he should go and see the king's meeting at the beginning of next year, after all Simon is his son.
When my son is in trouble, of course I have to support him!
