Chapter 787 Pave the way in advance
On the morning of the second day after Bolton was ordered to return to the royal city, the generals of the Guards Corps were still having breakfast when a thunderbolt-like news came from the blue sky——His Royal Highness Bolton, the second prince of the Guards Corps, was sick and asked to be relieved of his illness. Legion duty, go home to recuperate.

The request was approved by Perseus on the same day, and a special person was sent to inform the entire army, which meant that Bolton officially withdrew from the front line, and it was not a transfer to the second or third line, but he directly resigned from all positions and went home sick. The soldiers were caught off guard.

As for Bolton's position as chief general after resigning, according to the transfer order, the military command of the Guards Corps will be taken over by Perseus himself. Legion, the vacant position will be filled by the person appointed by Perseus.

Such a transfer meant that the nature of the personal guards had changed, from the elite army led by Prince Bolton to the king's personal soldiers of Perseus.

This is not over yet. After the command of the Guard Corps changed hands, Perseus' second order came down.

In the Wang Decree, Perseus transferred the "Cardinal Garrison Legion" that was originally stationed in the royal city to the northern province of Tayu, and cooperated with the capital of Lenglie Valley to guard the frontier on the grounds that "the country must not be without border defense, and the border defense must not be without elites."

As for the garrison of the royal city, the personal guards who had just changed their blood were responsible for the garrison.

This transfer seems reasonable on the surface. After all, the northern border suffered a large-scale invasion by the remnants of the Six Kings last year. The replacement of the border guards from the personal guards to the more elite cardinal guards was a move to further consolidate the border defense.

However, in the eyes of discerning people, this transfer is extremely abnormal, because for so many years, the Cardinal Garrison Corps has been stationed in the Royal City, and has the closest relationship with the royal family, which is why every soldier in the Kingdom wants to get in here service.

Well now, the Cardinal Garrison Corps has been dispatched to the northern border, completely away from the power center, and it should be noted that their duty is to "cooperate with the capital of Cold Valley to guard the frontier", which means that the "governor" Sting of the province has Temperance over the Cardinal Garrison!
This is not an ordinary change of defense. It is impressive to transfer the Cardinal Guard Legion away and throw it to the north to be monitored by Lenglie Valley. In the name of Bolton's illness, let the Guard Legion accept the king's command and enter the Royal City. It is completed. A big shake-up of the forbidden army.

Just when the ministers were still trying to understand the political signal contained in it, another royal order came like thunder.

Shortly after Perseus took full control of the Forbidden Army of the Royal City through deployment, he held a formal meeting in the palace hall, requesting to restart the investigation of the major ink corruption case in Danyu City.

When the case of Danyu City was first exposed last year, it was a shock to the whole world. Everyone from the royal family to the common people knew that there would definitely be corruption in a rich place like Danyu City, but no one thought that those officials would do anything. The matter of burning granaries and reselling strategic grain reserves.

However, this case turned out to be a lot of noise and little rain in the end, and the royal family only hastily cleaned up the Danyu City governor Ge Mai, the inspector Lin Gengsen, and some local officials.

None of the ministers involved in the matter in the royal palace dealt with it. Solandelle was slapped by Perseus until she vomited blood because she impeached the eight princes at the imperial meeting.

Many people thought that this matter was over like this, but they didn't expect that after dealing with the two major foreign troubles of the Far Eastern Dynasty and the survivors of the Six Kings, Perseus would directly uncover the old case.

At the imperial meeting last year, Perseus burned all the relevant account books in front of the princes, giving them a reassurance.

The princes thought they could sit back and relax without evidence, but in fact, the contents of those account books had long been recorded in Solandelle's mind, and she silently wrote them out completely.

Although from a legal point of view, the ledger written by Solandelmer does not have any legal effect, after all, no one knows whether what she wrote is true or false.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether it’s true or false. Under the Dogorand political system, the king holds great power, and the king’s power is greater than legal principles. As long as he has an excuse to explain to the outside world, he can do it.

On the day when the investigation of the old case was resumed, the Guard Corps seized the suspects in the palace with thunderous force, and the follow-up investigation lasted less than half a month. , some were demoted to commoners, and some were exiled as slaves.

The "Chancellor of the Exchequer" Baldwin van Dogoland, who was the principal culprit in the case, was even sentenced to death directly. This is also the highest-level official that Perseus has dealt with since he took office.

In addition to the eight princes, many royal ministers were implicated. After these people fell, some of their powers were taken by Perseus himself, and some of them were taken by newly promoted officials.

It is very subtle that through the personnel transfer list, everyone found some common ground.

Among the personal guards, those newly promoted middle and high-level generals are basically soldiers who returned from the frozen fortress last year.

The ministers who filled the vacancies in the palace were either related to the soldiers of the Frozen Fortress, or they were confidantes trained by Perseus.

People with a keen sense of politics finally realized that Perseus had begun to cleanse the complicated factions inside the palace, and began to rebuild a new leadership team.

Those who were purged were basically people from the factions of Bolton and Andre, and it was not difficult to see from the experience of the personnel transferred later that the people used were all people who had close ties with Solandelle.

Last year, Solandelle risked her life to bring the soldiers of the Frozen Fortress back to the inland. These people and their relatives must be very grateful to her regardless of their political orientation. They were promoted to important positions. For Randall, it is undoubtedly an extremely powerful boost.

The seeds buried in the ice and snow finally bloomed proudly this spring.

Everyone finally understood that Perseus was paving the way for Solandelle ahead of time.

Solandelle is too young, only 15 years old this year, and has never cultivated her own power. In terms of influence, she cannot be compared with her two elder brothers. No matter how smart she is, she is doomed to be unstable if she has no foundation of.

In order to make up for this fatal weakness for Solandelle, Perseus had to take the initiative to use the royal power in his hands to weaken the strength of the two princes, and tailored a group of capable ministers and warriors for her to control in the future.

Regardless of whether Perseus's move is to reconstruct the power among the three candidates and form a balanced competition, or he has already determined that Solandelle is the crown prince in his mind and wants to push a queen with all his strength, this kind of The transfer is undoubtedly exciting news for Solandelle and her supporters.

However, for those who are frustrated and lost. Will they really do nothing and just sit and wait?
