The expedition church ended and the crowned crown returned. In the remaining more than ten years, apart from stabilizing the empire's political system and situation, most of Zhou Ming's energy was placed on the arrangement of his fifteen sons.

Of these fifteen sons, Zhou Ming is not quite sure how many women gave him, seven or eight? It ’s not clear, but the son depends on the mother. Among the fifteen sons, except for the lower-rank concubine, servant, and illegitimate children, there are eight sons who need to be properly arranged, otherwise, if it is not properly arranged, Triggered a civil war similar to the battle for the throne, his decades of hard work, but all in vain.

Even, the game score will be reduced a lot.

Open [World Map], Zhou Ming looked at the assets he owned.

In order to make a distinction, he took the Ural Snow Mountain as the boundary, and called the western continent the "old continent" and the eastern continent the new continent.

On the old continent, his steel duo empire now controls the area of ​​the territory, about 10 million square kilometers (it is not impossible to continue to expand, before the invention of radio telegraphy, this is almost the limit of the management of an ancient empire), after he became emperor Nearly a hundred kingdoms attached to the surrounding surrenders (will be beaten without surrendering), the total area is also tens of millions of square kilometers, these nearly a hundred kingdoms, casually dumped a few kings, sent tens of thousands of troops to **** It shouldn't be too problematic for several sons with lower status to become kings.

In the New World, after more than 30 years of development, Zhou Ming has built more than ten cities and immigrated millions, and promulgated the "Homestead Law" to allow immigrants to encircle freely. On this new continent with an area of ​​nearly 200 million square kilometers, he The new steel duo empire that was established only occupies a very small corner, not to mention how much land is occupied, that is, the space where millions of immigrants often move, and it does not exceed 5 million square kilometers.

Two continents, one new and one old, two empires, and among eight sons, how to choose the two best heirs and inherit these two empires has become the most difficult problem for the old Zhou Ming.

So, following the principle of "easy first, then hard", Zhou Ming made the following arrangements:

First of all, the seven concubine, servant, and illegitimate children, Zhou Ming selected a few kings who had no heirs from the nearly 100 vassal kingdoms around the Steel Duo Empire, and placed these seven sons in the name of royal marriage. Each kingdom comes with 1 million gold coins of development funds and 5,000 elite firearms guards. When the king of these seven kingdoms dies, his seven sons will be able to come to power (ca n’t wait to think of it, or let these kings Zen Bit, or take away a glass of poisonous wine ... The exact operation depends on the seven sons, how much they can learn from him over the years).

There is also an episode here. Zhou Ming and the snake girl ’s daughter are born with a temperament of “who says women are inferior to men”. They do n’t like red clothes and armed. They fought with Zhou Ming for more than ten years and led her The legion of the army made great achievements and gained a reputation. For this reason, after this daughter laid down a kingdom, Zhou Ming set a precedent in history and sealed her as the queen of that kingdom.

Then, one of Fanny ’s sons, Alice ’s three sons, Elena ’s two sons, and Eugenie ’s two sons (similar to the situation in the previous life, seeing Zhou Ming ’s development momentum getting stronger and stronger, Reluctant to be a Herian who only has three kings in a small country, and through some special channels, on a mahjong field, this peculiar stunner was sent to Zhou Ming, and then naturally it came to the middle. Zhou Ming selected five. A son with general qualifications or a large personality defect, also found five kingdoms with strong national strength and large land area from nearly a hundred small countries around the empire, let them choose, and give each person 5 million gold coins for development Funds and 50,000 elite firearms, if this can't win the kingdom and lay a foundation, it can only be said that the wood is difficult to carve, it is better to return to the country to be a rich man.

Then, except that ...

There are only three sons left to arrange.

I had a plan in my heart. A few days later, Zhou Ming called his three sons together and said to them in front of a huge sand table: "Allen, George (son of Eugenie), you two can be in the old continent. Choose a vassal kingdom with strong national strength, and you can also go to a large piece of land in the New World Circle. Alexander, you can choose between the two Steel Duo Empires, and I will do it according to the choices you make. Reasonable arrangements. "

"His Majesty, please give me a larger subsidiary kingdom." Alan's words did not come to Zhou Ming's expectations, because Alice had mentioned it to him recently, saying that her son Alan was weak and compared with a small kingdom king. Suitable.

"His Majesty, I want to have a plot in the New World Circle." George's answer surprised Zhou Ming. He glanced at the son and found that he was not kidding, and George was the only one among all his sons. Said to go to the New World for development.

"Are you crazy, George? The New World is so dangerous. That devil's land is not suitable for human habitation. Any plague can kill you." Alexander looked at this young brother in surprise, feeling that his head was abnormal, and then To Zhou Ming said: "His Majesty, I want to inherit your legacy and carry forward the Burns family!"

It really is this choice ...

Zhou Ming had some regrets. He should have given this son a low-key name, and he should n’t tell her wife Fanny to tell her the stories of the great emperors. Now she looks at the proud, confident, As if he were born into a noble son, he was a little uncertain in his heart.

Because of that, he made the same choice by hitting and hitting beside him.

Who is more suitable?

The different experiences of the two during their growth are played in their heads, comparing the two's way of life and inner character, and then comparing their respective achievements during the establishment of the empire ...

But for the long-term stability and prosperity and stability of the empire, between simplicity and nobility, maturity and frivolousness, between virtue and mediocrity, between down-to-earth and one step to the sky ... a choice must be made.

After three days.

A news that shocked the imperial capital, shocked the empire, and shocked all the people came from the palace.

His Majesty Edward announced the establishment of the eldest son Otto as the crown prince, and the establishment of the fourth prince Alexander as the emperor of the new steel duo, and asked him to go to the new empire as soon as possible to take over the throne.

Soon, Queen Fanny brought the four prince Alexander to the emperor and asked sharply: "Why do you make such a ridiculous decision? Alexander is your eldest son! How can you put that top Noble crown, worn on the head of a humble illegitimate child? "

And the eyes of the four prince Alexander, who had red eyes, his chest was violently undulating, and he gritted his teeth and pointed at the emperor, saying: "Your Majesty, you pass the position of the prince to the illegitimate illegitimate child, I don't accept it!"

Zhou Ming had no choice but to persuade: "Alexander, the development degree of the new continent is not enough, but that land has a wider land than the old continent, richer resources, easier to conquer the indigenous kingdom, as long as the plague and Illness, sooner or later, the new continent will become a far more valuable land of gold than the old continent. It is a land full of hope! "Zhou Ming, the discourse describing the new continent, did not know how many times it was said, but all wives and concubines Only Eugenie, who was good at competing and listening, listened.

"I don't want that ghost place! Your Majesty the Father, please take back your life immediately and pass the crown prince to those who should pass it on!" People are more devoted to enjoyment and struggle, compared to the prosperity of the old continent The strong empire, the sparsely populated area on the east of the New World, and a plague that can take away half of the wild land of the population, it really has no appeal.

So, after putting down such a cruel sentence, within two days, Zhou Ming received the minister ’s report that the fourth prince Alexander took a dozen martial arts assassins, and assassinated the prince Otto who was returning to the uterus on the street, if not the city defense team in time Arrived, the prince Otto was chased all the way, I am afraid that he will be hacked to death.

"Fuck things! I abolish you!"

Suddenly furious, Zhou Ming immediately asked the guards to grab Alexander, and after being reprimanded, he was demoted from the imperial capital the next day and exiled to an occlusion place in the south, causing him to suffer a bit, two years later It was only after he was sealed to a small remote country that neither the initial development funds nor the **** firearms team was given, and he left it to himself.

At this time, the vacant position of the Emperor of the New Steel Duo Empire could only be passed on to the son George who had the idea of ​​exploring the New World.

After the eldest son Otto officially became the crown prince, in the next few years, with the resolute style of work, superb political skills, and the ability to strike against the ruthlessness of political enemies, with the support of Zhou Ming, he quickly embarked on No one can question the empire's front office and control most of its rights.

Look at Otto's better and better empire governance, continue to implement the reforms he initiated, step up training the army, prepare to launch foreign wars, and consolidate his power ... Every step, like a qualified king, take the rest of the week Ming, also laid down all his powers, and after giving the throne to him, he spent the rest of his life quietly in a beautiful manor near the Great Lakes.

On this day, watching the busy government affairs, he still took some time to visit himself. Zhou Ming, who was in a wheelchair and was in a good mood, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and rarely faced the powerful emperor beside him:

"You must hate me very much? Why do you hate me differently from other sons? UU reading www.uukanshu.com hates me for caring for other sons, but does not fake your face, and hates me for giving other sons. The best training environment, from the age of ten, take them away from their mothers, teach them by their side, and leave you alone ... Sometimes you will also wonder if you are my son ... "

"How could you not be my son?"

Zhou Ming sighed and said: "From seeing you at first glance, I know that you are different, unlike all children, so I will not give you any preferential treatment, nor will I teach you anything because you Without me teaching, your growth experiences have taught you long ago, how should you treat this world, how should you treat the people around you? So I also gave you three opportunities, these opportunities were all caught in your hands, but When you were the most proud, you were beaten to the bottom three times, and now, it seems that you have a little ... "

The voice came down faintly: "Child, please be optimistic about this empire, don't step on the ground, inherit my legacy, open up territory, and become a greater emperor than me ..."

Listening to these words, Otto Emperor, who always had a majestic look and could not be offended, his eyes were trembling, and his body was trembling violently, and many pictures suddenly appeared in his memory. The man secretly covered him with a blanket; when he was seriously ill, the man hid in the door and accidentally exposed his boots; after he had children, the man was holding his grandchildren very happy ...

When there was no more sound, he turned and looked to see that he was lying on the wheelchair in peace and there was no more breath.

"Daddy!"

Shouted, tears, from the eyes of the emperor who had not shed tears for almost a lifetime ...
