After the enthronement ceremony was kept simple, it was actually held very quickly. He went to the church and was put on the crown by Isabel under the watchful eyes of people.
After that, he became the ruler of this huge empire with a vast territory and a population of tens of millions.
However, after her coronation, Isabel remained at the palace.
Although Arthur learned a lot of knowledge from Char, the knowledge on paper is still different from practice.
Moreover, Arthur needs to lead troops to fight, and he cannot take care of the huge amount of internal government affairs, so Isabel is also needed to supervise the country.
While Arthur's attention is on the Western French Empire, what is happening in the south cannot be ignored.
Although she cannot directly affect the south, Isabel can exert pressure in various ways and warn that group of people not to act too unscrupulously.
In the legend of King Arthur, when King Arthur governs the country, Merlin is responsible for becoming an advisor and assisting Arthur in governing the country.
So in a sense, Char did this job.
This actually made Xia Ya a lot more relaxed, allowing him to spend more time enjoying life with Alicia.
In a sense, except for Eugenia, all of Arthur's sisters are very capable.
But within a few days, Isabel's troops transferred from the east arrived at the town of Romil for correction.
On this day, Arthur also formally met with the generals of this army in the town of Romir.
Since it was occupied once by the Western French Empire, their troops burned, killed and looted here. Many houses were burned and many people became homeless, so many tents can be seen here.
The empire simply took over the place, replaced farmland for the people of Romil Town near the imperial capital, and resettled them in the countryside around the imperial capital.
All the farmland and houses here were taken over by the army.
In the army garrison in the town of Romil.
Arthur opened the curtain of the tent and walked in. He was still wearing the military uniform he wore when he ascended the throne.
That is the military uniform that represents the commander-in-chief of the entire army. From the day the emperor of Britannia ascended the throne, he also succeeded to the position of commander-in-chief of the entire army.
Seeing Arthur's military uniform, several old generals sitting here obviously understood Arthur's identity.
They all stood up and performed a basic etiquette towards Arthur.
"His Majesty."
This army is stationed in Beizhou, so there are more people of Asian ancestry, and some are mixed-race, about thirty to fifty years old, and there are also a few old men with half-white hair.
"Since I'm wearing this dress, just call me Commander-in-Chief." Arthur smiled.
He walked forward slowly and sat on a chair placed in the middle of the tent.
"Presumably, you all should already know the purpose of my coming here."
Several old men and the other generals looked at each other, and one of them spoke.
"Don't worry, we all know.
Just leave all the fighting to us.
You don’t need to think too much, all the achievements are yours. "
This was said very euphemistically, but the meaning was clearly revealed.
If I were to put it more bluntly, it would be: "I know you are here for gold plating, but we don't believe in your ability, so we will give you what you want, and you don't want to give me blind guidance."
It's normal to think this way, since Arthur is just a teenager.
In this world, Huo Qubing is still in the minority, and the Mingbao Sect is more numerous.
No one would feel comfortable leaving the fate of hundreds of thousands of people in the hands of such a person, even if it was destiny.
Arthur smiled and didn't care.
Instead, he looked at the old man who spoke.
"I remember your name should be Murphy Deng, right?"
Murphy raised his eyebrows and nodded.
"I've heard about you a long time ago." Arthur smiled. "During the Cartaya rebellion thirty years ago, you led troops to attack for hundreds of miles day and night. You caught the rebels by surprise and put down the rebellion in one fell swoop. Listen, My blood is boiling."
Murphy's brows relaxed a little. The Battle of Cartaya was the highlight of his life.
"That was before, and I don't have that physical strength now."
"But you definitely have experience." Arthur said.
Then, he looked at another half-century-old man, "And your name is Hod, right?
Sixteen years ago, you were a general in the south and repulsed sixteen invasions of the Spanish Empire.
It was once called the Wall of Melia. "
Howard smiled, "No one has called me that in years."
Then, Arthur called out the names of the other generals, talked about their respective achievements, and made some comments.
Although several generals are not the kind of people who get flattered after being flattered a few times.
But they could tell that Arthur's compliments were sincere and all he said were true, and there was no deliberate compliment.
They are all veterans, and most of their past achievements have been sealed in the long river of history.
The destined emperor could remember their names and even their past events, which made them feel respected.
The atmosphere in the tent also gradually relaxed.
"It seems that His Majesty knows us very well." Murphy said.
"Of course." Arthur said matter-of-factly, "Since I want to work with you in the future, I must know something about you."
He glanced at everyone present.
"I know your concerns. You think that I am too young and have insufficient experience, so you don't think that I can become a qualified commander, right?"
"this"
Murphy looked at each other with the others.
Arthur smiled, "No need to be shy, I'm not that kind of narrow-minded person."
Murphy nodded, "Yes, there are some."
"Actually, I think so too," Arthur said.
"But I think you and I have the same purpose. We are all for Britannia, to expel these damn invaders from our land, right?"
"Yes." The others nodded.
Although Arthur only stayed with Hart for a few months, Hart taught Arthur his wisdom as quickly as possible.
And Arthur is also very smart. He quickly applied the knowledge he learned here.
For example, what I just learned from Hart is "remembering other people's names" to satisfy their desire to "become an important person".
Another example is what he is doing now: when talking to others, don't discuss things on which each other has different opinions from the beginning. First talk about things that the two of you can basically talk about.
That is, to prevent the other person from saying "no" during the conversation.
When people say "no", he has to persist in order to maintain his dignity. He may realize after the argument that it was wrong, but he must maintain his dignity in that situation.
Then conflicts naturally arise. From a psychological point of view, when a person says "no", there is a sense of rejection and resistance hidden in his heart.
At this time, no matter how hard you rack your brains, it will be difficult to change their resistance and resistance.
So, learn to make people say “yes”.
While getting as many positive reactions as possible, learning to listen and guiding them will guide the listener's psychology in the right direction...
Arthur's words continued, "I am not here for gilding as you think. If it is for gilding, I have many ways.
I am the emperor, and all the achievements during my reign can actually be related to me, right? "
Murphy fell silent.
"I came here for the people behind us and the land beneath our feet, and for the beliefs in my heart." Arthur said sincerely.
"I think it should be the same for all of you here who still led your troops to come here even though you knew that the enemy was strong and we were weak."
People do everything for two reasons, one is to look good and the other is to be real.
People will often consider the real reason, and we are all idealists when facing our hearts, and we will prefer the reason that sounds good.
Therefore, if you want to change a person's will, you need to inspire his noble motives.
Even for some embarrassing people, if he can feel how honest and upright he is in your eyes, most of the time, he will treat you with the same reaction.
As long as the relationship is eased, Arthur will have the confidence to conquer them with his own abilities.
"You are all heroes of the empire. When the empire was in crisis, you stood in front of the people without hesitation. I admire you very much for this."
Arthur said seriously.
"I don't want to stand behind you and become the one being protected.
I am the Emperor of Britannia and it is my duty to protect my people.
Of course, I also understand that my abilities are still too immature.
So, I'm not here to teach you how to fight.
I have always firmly believed that it is absolutely impossible to win a large war with one person's wisdom.
What we need to rely on is the group and the wisdom of everyone present.
And I'm just here to join in this wisdom, that's all. "
The brows of several generals gradually relaxed. As Arthur told the story, their wariness towards the young new emperor gradually disappeared.
He even developed a slight fondness for this sincere and humble child.
To become the master of an empire at such a young age, and even have the endorsement of the gods, would make any young man feel elated, but he was different.
Still so humble, noble and sincere.
Or……
Because of this, he is destiny.
These generals said with emotion.
Castle interior.
Char was holding Alicia's hand and sharing the perspective he saw with Alicia.
Looking at Arthur, who had established a good relationship with this group of generals who even looked down upon the emperor in just a few words.
Alicia fell into silence slightly, "He is indeed different from before, and his behavior seems to be much smoother.
If it had happened, he would have fought against these generals one after another to establish his power. "
Xia Ya was very happy, "It seems that this child is smarter than we thought. At least he learns things quickly and is spiritual."
Alicia nodded in disbelief.
"But this is just the beginning..." she whispered softly.
"Yeah..." Xia Ya also answered.
His gaze overlooked every corner of the empire, and his eyes shone with a magical brilliance.
"The people he will come into contact with in the future will be much more complicated than these mere soldiers..."
