Law of the Devil

For the rest of my life, I will never ascend the throne, only for the regent!

In front of Du Wei, Prince Chen expressed the determination he had been hiding in his heart. This of course surprised Du Wei.

After talking about these secrets, Prince Chen seemed a little tired. He looked at the sky and smiled lightly: Okay, that's the end of today's story. Remember my words and stay in the imperial capital for a while. When spring begins, After attending my baptism ceremony, I will leave. During this time, after the news is released, I am afraid that there will be chaos in the imperial capital for a while.

After a pause, he smiled and said: It's getting late, I originally wanted to invite you for dinner, but I'm a little tired today, and I also know that you will definitely not enjoy eating with me. Leah and the others must have been waiting for you for a long time. I will not keep you. These days, if you have something to ask me, you can come to the palace at any time. obstructed.

Du Wei hurriedly left, and left the garden of the palace with a stomach full of shock.

Today's harvest is really not small. Du Wei also did not expect that this emperor who is now in power, whether in terms of actual power or legal status, is completely the future emperor, but he voluntarily gave up the succession to the throne!

When Du Wei walked out of the garden, the inner court guards who were waiting outside came up and took Du Wei out all the way. But after walking for a while, a young woman dressed as a palace maid ran out from a door next to the palace, and walked up two steps. He whispered: Duke Tulip, please wait a moment.

Du Wei stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look. This girl, who was dressed as a court maid, looked to be in her twenties.

Du Wei had learned some court etiquette, and when he saw how this maid was serving, he could also see that her rank was not low, but she was so young. And it seemed that he rarely went out in the palace, so he said a word to himself. He had already lowered his head, as if a little shy.

Excuse me, what's the matter? Does the regent have any orders? Du Wei looked at the maid.

The girl blushed. With a soft voice, he said in a soft voice: Duke Tulip, I am the female officer who is responsible for taking care of the daily life of His Royal Highness Charlie and Princess Karina... Well, it was not the Regent who sent me here, but the two Highnesses...

After hearing this, Du Wei felt a little puzzled, and looked at the female officer: Your Highness?

Yes. The female officer took a deep breath. Finally he was not so shy: The two young highnesses have said it. It is a great honor to meet the world-famous Grand Duke Tulip today. Let me convey my greetings to you. And... the meaning of the regent, I think you also know , I will ask you to teach me more in the future. Although I have not yet been a teacher. But the two young highnesses are looking forward to your teachings. Originally, I wanted to invite you over, but it is getting late today, so I dare not delay your time. I will look for another opportunity in another day. However, in order to express my admiration for the teacher, please... leave a little teaching, so that the two little highnesses can use it as an enlightenment before the formal teaching.

These words were very decent, and Du Weiliang's two children couldn't say such a scene. Although that little Prince Charlie still looks a bit like a grown-up, an eight-year-old child still can't think of such a high-sounding word.

Du Wei thought of this, looked at the waitress with a smile, and said with a smile, Well, what's your name?

The maid blushed, lowered her head, bowed her body, and behaved very elegantly: Master Duke, please call me Lanlan. I am not only responsible for the daily life of the two little highnesses, but also responsible for teaching the two little highnesses. Madam of Ceremonies.

Well, it turned out to be a court etiquette master, but it's rare for such a young person. This girl named Lanlan is not extremely beautiful, but she has a gentle manner, which makes people very comfortable.

Du Wei pondered for a while.

Today the regent has offered to ask himself to teach his children. What's more, he told himself so many secret stories, and revealed his will never to become emperor. Then the throne will definitely be given to his son in the future. He asked himself to teach the future emperor, which can be regarded as a kind of esteem and trust, and it is difficult to refuse.

What's more, I still bear the title of a court scholar after all.

There is such a custom in the Roland Continent, especially in the aristocracy! Whenever a noble family invites an enlightenment teacher for their children, when apprenticeship, the teacher must first give the child some enlightenment gifts. If it is casual, such as sending an easy-to-understand book, the implication is to expect the child to read more. .

Or send a delicate quill pen, the implication is to let the children take more notes. Or give some of the teacher's own experience as a gift, so that the children can figure it out by themselves. There are even teachers who believe in the temple, and they will give their children a copy of the temple's scriptures.

It can also be regarded as a tradition of worshiping teachers and respecting Tao among the aristocratic families in the Roland mainland.

For example, Du Wei himself, the enlightenment teacher he hired back then, gave Du Wei the first volume of the general history of the mainland before teaching the class. He hoped that Du Wei would read more history. the meaning of.

Seeing that this female official named Lan Lan came to ask for the gift of enlightenment from him on behalf of the two young highnesses, it was probably His Highness Chen's intention.

Du Wei thought for a while, touched his arms, and found a thick book from his magic storage bag.

This book was the first volume of General History of the Mainland given to Du Wei by the first teacher invited by Earl Raymond when he was young (the complete set of general history of the mainland is naturally more than just this one book).

Du Wei handed it over and said with a smile: His Royal Highness just told me about this today, and I have no preparations. However, this book was given to me by my teacher when I was studying. When I read it, I casually wrote some of my thoughts and notes on it when I was studying. Some of my views may not be correct, but fortunately, they are still novel, and I think they should be of interest to the children. You just take them and pass them on to Your Highness for me.

Lanlan took it solemnly, and then saluted Du Wei before turning around and leaving.

Du Wei was thoughtful... The regent really expected a lot from his child. Then he shook his head and left the palace.

He had an appointment with Villa and the others today, so he naturally went back to the duke's mansion to change his clothes, and then went to socialize with the hardcore figures of the regent's faction in these dignitaries.

That night, the Earl of Villa and the two rich men of Delanshan were there, so naturally they had to go to the gold selling cave outside the city again, the wine and the beauty. Hu Tian Hu Di. Although Du Wei may not be very enthusiastic about these things, but now he is almost the leader of the regent faction. Always give your colleagues face, and you have to play around.

Lord Tulip Duke Du Wei went to drink the welcome wine set by his colleagues.

The female officer named Lanlan carefully took the General History of the Mainland presented by Du Wei and returned to a hall in the palace. As soon as they walked in, another pair of boys and girls ran up to them. It was the eight-year-old Prince Charlie and the six-year-old Karina.

Charlie looked at Lanlan eagerly. Seeing Lanlan come back, he immediately went up and hugged her hand, and said loudly, Lanlan, let me see. What good things did Duke Tulip give us?

After finishing speaking, she took the General History of the Mainland from Lan Lan's hand. He held it in his hand and glanced at it, but couldn't help but look disappointed, and threw it back to Lan Lan angrily. Frowning, he said: This Duke Tulip is really stingy! The first volume of the general rule of the mainland is still an old book! Hmph, don't I even have a book like General History of the Mainland in my study? Do you want him to give it? I hear You said that Duke Tulip is a famous great magician in the mainland, and you thought he could give me a magic book... Oh, what a disappointment!

With a disappointed look on his face, Charlie turned around and left. Lanlan yelled twice, but he ignored them angrily and walked away into the hall.

Lanlan looked helpless, but she couldn't say anything, she just said softly to Princess Karina in front of her: My dear highness, alas, this book is the enlightenment gift that the regent ordered me to come back. Take it for me How about for His Majesty Charles?

This Lanlan has taken care of the princess since she was a child. She has a gentle and delicate temperament. The princess is very close to her. She hugged Lanlan and said softly: Good Lanlan, is this book a gift from the Tulip Duke? Why? Brother doesn’t like it? He doesn’t like it, just give it to me. Is this book about Duke Tulip building a castle in the northwest and fighting the prairie people?”

Lanlan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing the princess reached out and took the book away from her hand, she didn't dare to snatch it back. She just hurriedly said, Your Highness, this... this is an enlightenment gift for His Highness Charlie...

It's for me too. On the innocent face of the little princess Karina, there was a hint of mischievousness unique to children: My brother's teacher also wants to teach me, and it's the same for me.

After finishing speaking, he jumped up and down, took the book and left.

After the little princess took Du Wei's General History of the Mainland, she returned to her room and flipped through it. She is a princess, and she has been extremely smart since she was a child. She has inherited Prince Chen's talent and learned to read and read very early. .

She had heard the legend of Duke Tulip on weekdays, and she had long been curious about it. I got this book today and brought it back with joy, hoping to read the story of Duke Tulip from it. It's a pity that the little girl flipped through it for a while, but found that it was not what she thought, and she couldn't help feeling a little discouraged and disappointed.

This General History of the Continent is the official historical material released on the Roland Continent. Although the official history is somewhat whitewashed, it is generally objective. Many people know the so-called truth of knowing the past and understanding the present, using history as a mirror.

How could the nearly thousand-year history of the Roland Empire be recorded in one book? Therefore, there are more than a dozen books in the complete set of general history of the mainland. The first book given by Du Wei is the first volume, which is the prologue. It does not really tell about the history of the dynasty. The status quo, made a rough overview. For example, the human geography, customs and habits of the mainland, especially the imperial system and religious power, etc., made a general description.

Originally, these things were a bit esoteric for a six-year-old girl. If I read them for a while, I would feel bored and throw them away. It's just that Princess Karina is really an anomaly. She has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she is really more talented than her father, Prince Chen. This is the prologue of the first volume. Although I seem to understand it, but I can only understand 20-30% of it, and most of them don't know what it means at all.

However, in this volume of books, between the lines, there are many experiences and notes written by Du Wei in his own handwriting, and some of them are more messy. Arrived. Just leave some emotions and thoughts at will.

Little Karina was just curious about Du Wei, even though the book turned a few pages. Most of the content is not very clear, but Du Wei's notes are very interesting. Little Karina gradually became interested.

The original text in the book tells about the separation of government affairs and religion in the Roland Empire. The juxtaposition of monarchy and theocracy also introduces some introductions about the belief in the Temple of Light and the Goddess of Light.

Next, Du Wei left a line of crooked words:

What did gods give to humans? Why do humans worship gods? Ordinary people contribute their hard work to the gods. When they are hungry and thirsty, what can the gods do? Do you say two words of Goddess Blessing in your mouth to fill your stomach? ?

Other books introduced the Temple of Light, the number one religious organization on the mainland. Tells about some of the clergy.

Du Wei wrote below: The so-called clergy are god sticks! They don't do production. They sit and enjoy what they get! Shameless! They are clearly social moths! If everyone in mainland China becomes a god stick, they will all sit in the temple and read a few words Long live the Goddess. Just wait for others to bring food and drink—if everyone does this, the world will starve to death!

It is written in the book that priests are not allowed to marry and have children. Du Wei wrote below: Big shit! If everyone is like this, human beings will be extinct! Humans will be gone. The temple is still thriving!

Originally in these words. There are some vulgar words that the honorable Princess Karina cannot understand. It's just that she has never seen such remarks. I feel more and more interesting about Duke Tulip's point of view. I couldn't help but just flipped through page after page...

In fact, Du Wei wrote a lot of anti-religious remarks in this book. From the outside it looks. It's also rebellious. only. These words were written by him many years ago, many things. That's when the interest came. After writing it down, I also forgot it later. So many years. Where did he remember what he had written on it? Today he rashly took it out and gave it to His Royal Highness, it was not because he was reckless. Firstly, he himself can’t remember what he wrote, and secondly. Anyway, the royal family is also unhappy to see the temple. It's nothing for the royal family to see these things.

It's this little Princess Karina. A pure heart. When you are a blank sheet of paper in your official life, but you read Du Wei's views, you will inevitably be greatly affected!

Little Karina was fascinated. I couldn't help but watched the night all the time, and even had dinner in a hurry. In fact, she might not understand it. I just feel Du Wei's point of view. In fact, no one has ever spoken to her.

Finally turned to the back to a page. I saw Du Wei's blank space in the book. I wrote these few sentences: But any religion in the world is nothing more than using the name of God to fool the world. God is there or not. That is the matter of the gods. But these religions. Once a human being puts on the priestly robe, he can oppress other human beings! Obviously the essence is humans oppressing human beings, what does it have to do with gods? .

A robber took a knife to rob people of money. That's the criminal. But if the robber replaces the knife with a god's robe, and then says in the name of the god to the robbed person, then he is no longer a robber, but becomes noble!

The next few sentences are not original by Du Wei, but famous lines from a novel that Du Wei saw on the Internet in his previous life:

I want this day, I can't cover my eyes anymore!

I want this place, I can't bury my heart anymore!

I want all sentient beings to understand what I mean!

Let all the gods and demons disappear in smoke!

These few famous sentences from Du Wei's previous life on the Internet that shocked countless people were written out, and little Karina was stunned immediately! Although limited to a young age, it is still impossible to comprehend everything, but the boldness and absoluteness in the words and sentences make people feel excited every time they recall it.

The more she looked at it, the more agitated her heart became, and she couldn't help thinking up a lot of random thoughts in her pure mind. Looking at these shocking viewpoints written by Du Wei, watching and thinking, I couldn't help being fascinated...

Du Wei would never have imagined that the notebook he sent out unintentionally would become an episode that changed the history of the entire Roland Continent, a turning point in the long river of history!

In a very smart little princess, at the most blank time in her life, her thinking and viewpoints, and even her personality were affected!

Although Karina is still young, she may not be able to understand it, but she has always kept this book by her side. During the process of growing up, she took it out and read it from time to time. As she gets older, she understands more , the more deeply influenced by Du Weidi's views!

What Du Wei never imagined was that the little princess influenced by this enlightenment notebook would create an important figure of epoch-making significance to the entire Roland Continent in the future! ! !

I don't have any belief in gods in my life. If I really want to believe in something, then belief is in everyone's heart! We can believe in spirits, but we don't have to believe in gods!

For me, anyone can be suspicious, but he is the only exception. Because he made me and taught me everything I need to know!

——A few years later, the Augustinian Dynasty of the Roland Empire was dubbed the Bloody Thorn Flower by later generations, the quotations of Her Majesty Queen Karina.
