Throughout my life, I will never ascend the throne, only be the regent!

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

After telling these secrets, Prince Chen seemed a little tired. He looked at the sky and smiled calmly: "Okay, that's the end of today's story. Remember my words, stay in the imperial capital for a longer time. It's the beginning of spring.

At that time, I will leave after attending my baptism ceremony. During this time, after the news is released, I am afraid 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 to have dinner with me, but I'm a little tired today, and I also know that if you eat with me, you won't be happy."

Leah and the others must have been waiting to entertain you for a long time. I won’t keep you here. In the past few days, if you have anything to ask me for, please come to the palace at any time. I told the following that if you, Grand Duke Tulipa, ask to see you, you can come to the palace at any time.

No one is allowed to stop it."

Du Wei hurriedly said goodbye, and then left the palace garden with a feeling of shock.

Today's harvest is really not small. Du Wei also did not expect that this emperor who is now in control of the power, and is completely responsible for the future in terms of actual power and legal status, would take the initiative to give 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 just after walking for a while, a woman wearing a palace dress ran out from a door next to the palace.

The young woman who was serving took two steps forward and whispered: "Grand Duke Tulip, please wait a moment."

Du Wei stopped. He turned around and saw that this girl, dressed as a palace maid, looked to be in her twenties. She was quite delicate and beautiful, and her mannerisms showed that she had been influenced by palace etiquette.

Du Wei had learned some court etiquette. Looking at the service of this maid, he could see that her rank was not low, but she was so young. And she seemed to rarely go out in the palace, so after saying a word to herself, she already lowered her head.

He turned around, as if he was a little shy.

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

The girl's face turned red, her voice was soft, and she said softly: "Grand Duke Tulip, I am the female official responsible for taking care of the daily life of His Royal Highness Charles 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 confused and looked at the female officer: "Two young highnesses?"

"Yes." The female official took a deep breath and finally became less shy: "Your Highnesses said that it is a real honor to meet the world-famous Grand Duke Tulip today. Let me convey my regards to you. Thank you.

Yes... I think you also know what the Regent means, and I will ask you to teach me more in the future. Although I have not yet become a disciple, my two young highnesses are very much looking forward to your teachings. I originally wanted to invite you over, but the weather is dark today

It's getting late, and I don't dare to waste your time. I can only look for opportunities another day. However, in order to express my admiration for the teacher, please... leave some teachings for your two young highnesses.

Enlightenment before formal teaching.”

These words were very appropriate, and Du Weiliang and the two children could not say anything in such a scene. Although the little Prince Charlie looked a bit like an adult, such high-sounding words could not be said by an eight-year-old child.

Still can't think of it.

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, and behaved very elegantly: "Your Majesty, please call me Lanlan. In addition to being responsible for the daily life of the two young highnesses, I am also responsible for teaching the two young highnesses.

The etiquette lady."

Well, it turned out to be a palace etiquette. But such a young girl is rare. This girl named Lanlan is not very beautiful, but her manners are gentle and elegant, which makes people very comfortable.

Du Wei pondered for a while.

Today the regent has taken the initiative to ask himself to teach his children. Moreover, he has told himself so many secret stories, and also revealed that he will never ascend the throne 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 was considered a kind of respect and trust, and it was hard to refuse.

What's more, after all, he still holds the title of palace scholar.

There is such a custom in Roland Continent, especially among the aristocratic circles! Whenever a noble family hires an enlightenment teacher for their children, the teacher will first give the children some enlightenment gifts. If it is casual, such as

The last book is an easy-to-understand book, and the implication is that we hope children will read more.

Or you can give a delicate quill pen, which means to let the children take more notes. Or you can give some teachers’ own experiences to let the children figure it out for themselves. There are even teachers who believe in the temple and will give the children a copy.

Temple and canon.

It can also be regarded as a tradition in the aristocratic circle of Roland Continent to worship the master and respect the Tao.

For example, Du Wei himself, the enlightenment teacher he hired back then, gave Du Wei a copy of the first volume of the General History of the Mainland before teaching. He expected Du Wei to read more history so that he could understand the past and learn from the present.

meaning.

Seeing that this female official named Lanlan came to ask for an initiation gift for becoming a disciple on behalf of the two young highnesses, it was probably what His Highness Chen meant.

Du Wei thought for a moment, felt around in his arms, and found a thick book from his magic storage bag.

This book is the first volume of the "General History of the Continent" given to him by Count Raymond when he was young.

Du Wei handed it over and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Regent just told me about this today, and I was not prepared. However, this book was given to me by my teacher when I was studying. When I read it,

I casually wrote on it some of my own experiences and annotations when I was studying. Some of the views may not be correct, but fortunately they are still novel, and I think they may be of interest to children. Just take it and pass it on to Your Highness for me."

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

Du Wei was thoughtful... The regent really had high expectations for 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 Palace to change clothes, and then went to socialize with the backbone of the regent faction in these powerful circles.

That night, there were two rich men, Count Villa and Delanshan. Naturally, they had to go to the gold-selling cave outside the city. The beautiful winemaker, Hu Tian Hu Di, although Du Wei was not necessarily very enthusiastic about these things.

, but now that I am almost the leader of the regent faction, I always have to give face to my colleagues, and I have to deal with it at least a little bit.

Tulip Duke Duwei went to drink the welcome wine arranged by his colleagues.

The female officer named Lanlan carefully took the "General History of the Continent" presented by Du Wei and returned to the palace hall. As soon as she walked in, another boy and girl ran towards her. It was eight years ago.

Prince Charles, who is 6 years old, and Karina, who is 6 years old.

Charlie looked at Lanlan eagerly. When Lanlan came back, he immediately went up to hold her hand and said loudly: "Lanlan. Let me see, what good things did Duke Tulip give us?"

After saying that, he took the "General History of the Continent" from Lan Lan's hand and took a look at it. However, he couldn't help but have a disappointed expression on his face. He threw it back to Lan Lan angrily and frowned: "

This Tulip Duke is really stingy! The first volume of "General History of the Continent" is still an old book! Humph, don't I even have a book like "General History of the Continent" in my study? Do you want him to deliver it? I heard that the Tulip Duke is

The famous great magician in mainland China thought he could give me a magic book... Oh, what a disappointment!"

Charlie looked disappointed and turned around to leave. Lan Lan called out twice, but he ignored them in anger and walked away into the hall.

Lanlan looked helpless, but couldn't say anything. She just said softly to Princess Karina in front of her: "Dear little Highness, alas, this book is an enlightenment gift that the regent ordered me to come back. You can help me get it.

Can you give it to His Highness Charlie?"

This Lanlan has taken care of the princess since she was a child. She has a gentle and delicate temperament. The princess is very affectionate to her. She hugged Lanlan and said softly: "Good Lanlan. Was this book given by the Tulip Duke? Why?

My brother doesn’t like it? He doesn’t like it, so give it to me. Does this book tell the story of the Tulip Duke building a castle in the northwest and the people hunting down the grassland?”

Lan Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Seeing the princess reaching out and taking away the book in her hand, she didn't dare to go back and snatch it away. She just said quickly: "Your Highness, this... this is an enlightenment gift for Your Highness Charlie..."

"It was also given to me." The innocent face of the little princess Karina showed a trace of the unique naughtiness of a child: "My brother's teacher also wanted to teach me, so it is the same if he gave it to me."

After saying that, he jumped up and down, took the book and left.

After the little princess took Du Wei's "General History of the Continent", she returned to the room and started flipping through it. She was a princess, and she had been extremely smart since she was a child. She had inherited Prince Chen's talent and recognized it very early.

The words are read.

She had heard about the legendary story of the Tulip Duke, and she had long been very curious about it. She got this book today and brought it back with joy, hoping to read the story of the Tulip Duke in it. Unfortunately, the little girl couldn't read it.

After a while, I found that it was not what I thought, and I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged and disappointed.

This "General History of the Continent" is the official historical material issued by Roland Continent. Although the official history is somewhat whitewashed, it is still objective in general. The so-called principle of knowing the past and understanding the present and using history as a mirror is also true.

Many people know it.

How can the history of the Roland Empire for nearly a thousand years be recorded in one book? Therefore, there are more than a dozen volumes of the complete general history of the mainland. The first volume given by Du Wei is the first volume, which is the prologue, and

It does not really tell the experience of any historical dynasty, but gives a general overview of the origin and current situation of the Roland Empire. For example, it gives a general overview of the human geography, customs and habits of the mainland, especially the imperial system and religious power, etc.

narration.

Originally, these things were a bit profound for a six-year-old girl. I was afraid that after reading them for a short while, she would feel bored and throw them away. But this Princess Karina is really a

Oddly enough, she has been extremely smart since she was a child, and is actually as talented as her father, Prince Chen. Although I can understand the prologue of the first volume, I can only understand 20 to 30% of it, and most of them are completely unknown.

What does it mean?

However, in this volume, there are a lot of experiences and notes written by Du Wei himself in densely packed lines. Some of them are more messy. There is no experience to speak of, but they are Du Wei's enthusiasm when he was reading.

When I arrived, I left some emotions and my own thoughts at will.

It was when little Karina was curious about Du Wei. Although the book turned a few pages and most of the content was not understandable, Du Wei's notes were very interesting and made the little girl understand.

Karina gradually became interested.

The original text of the book describes the separation of government affairs and religion in the Roland Empire and the juxtaposition of monarchy and divine power. It also provides some introduction to the belief in the Temple of Light and the Goddess of Light.

Du Wei left a crooked line below:

"What did God give to human beings? Why do humans worship God? Ordinary people contribute their hard work income to the gods. When they are hungry and thirsty, what can the gods care about? Is it possible that just saying a few words of Goddess' blessing can fill the stomach?

?”

The book introduces the Temple of Light, the continent's first religious organization, and tells about some of the clergy.

Du Wei wrote below: "The so-called clergy are magicians! They do nothing to produce and just enjoy the benefits! Extremely shameless! They are clearly social worms! If everyone in the mainland became a magician, they would sit in the temple and recite a few sentences

Long live the goddess, if everyone does this and waits for others to bring food and drink, everyone in the world will starve to death!"

The book states that clergy are not allowed to get married and have children. Du Wei wrote below: "That's bullshit! If everyone behaves like this, humankind will become extinct! If all the people are gone, the temple will still be prosperous!"
