Chapter 665: Sitting in the Imperial Capital (Part 2)

In addition to winning over Su Cheng and Albert, Jacob also actively won over the nobles.

Although the nobles had no real power, they all had extremely high political status. Just based on their political status, it was worth spending a lot of effort to win them over.

Under Jacob's vigorous and resolute actions, the "Queen's Party" grew rapidly.

More and more important officials and nobles turned to the "Queen's Party" and supported the Queen's rule.

Among them, the most intimidating "neutral faction" and "Gael faction" were Su Cheng, Albert, and Bankro, who turned to the "Queen's Party".

As the second and third in command of the empire's military, Albert and Su Cheng, it goes without saying how powerful they are.

In the Britannia Empire, if you want to say who is the highest-ranking civil official in the empire besides Jacob, it must be Bankro.

As the empire's chief diplomat and military adviser, Bankro is also a rare talent.

He is good at diplomacy and military affairs.

In 290, Bankro was the main planner of the "Summer Wind" offensive against the Rollin Empire.

Bankro was a stubborn person. For him, it didn't matter who became the emperor.

Bankro would be loyal to whoever was the legitimate emperor.

Therefore, it was expected by most people that Bankro would turn to the "Queen's Party".

In addition to winning over the important officials of the central government, Jacob was also actively winning over the important officials of the local government, such as Humphrey, the governor of the northern border.

While Jacob was constantly strengthening the "Queen's Party", he did not forget to suppress the "Gaelic Party".

Long before Ilsa ascended the throne, Jacob had already sorted out a list - a list of the names of Gael's followers.

For this group of people who were very likely to disobey Ilsa's rule, Jacob took the measure of "beating and pulling".

Winning over some members of the "Gaelic Party" who were not very determined.

All the "Gaelic" members who were unlikely to be won over were promoted and demoted. It seemed that they were treated well and promoted, but in fact they were all sent to some unimportant positions that would not have much power.

Whether it was to strengthen the "Queen's Party" or to weaken the "Gaelic Party", these tasks were very complicated and difficult, and could not be completed in a day or two.

Take the example of sending those "Gaelic" members who were very determined to those positions that did not hold real power. This work alone might take a long time.

Because it sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to operate.

But as Jacob said to Su Cheng: He would do it no matter how difficult it was!

Knowing that these things were troublesome and tiring to do, and would offend a large number of people,

Jacob still did it without hesitation.

The reason why Jacob wanted to extend Su Cheng's time to return to the North was to let Su Cheng stay in the imperial capital for a while longer.

As long as Su Cheng stayed in the imperial capital and let everyone in the central government know that the leader of the Knights of Michael was now in Pendragon, it would be able to deter the "neutral" and "Gaelic" people in the central government, even if Su Cheng did nothing.

With Su Cheng here, it would be easier for Jacob to win over the ministers and nobles to join the "Queen's Party".

Jacob originally wanted Albert to stay in the imperial capital, but because in the two large-scale offensives in 290, the Britannia Empire annexed a large amount of territory from the Rolin Empire. These newly annexed territories have not been successfully digested until now, so Albert is still needed to stay in the southern front.

Therefore, after the coronation ceremony of Ilsa, among the leaders of the three major knights, only Su Cheng remained in the imperial capital, and Issel and Albert returned to the front lines they were responsible for.

…

…

February 12, 292, the imperial calendar of the Britannia Empire.

Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Su Cheng's home, Kailor's room.

"Hiss... Ha..."

Su Cheng lay on the bed in Kailor's original room, trying to smell Kailor's scent.

"So boring... I want to go back to the North..." Su Cheng lay on Kailor's original bed, moaning, "I miss Kailor, Alyssa and the others..."

It has been more than a month since Ilsa ascended the throne.

After Ilsa's coronation ceremony, Issel returned to the Rhine Front.

The owner was gone, and Su Cheng was embarrassed to stay in Issel's house, so he had to move back to his home in Pendragon and hired a group of people to help clean the dusty mansion.

Because Su Cheng had basically nothing to do in the past month, he could only read books every day.

During this month, perhaps because he was too idle, Su Cheng deeply experienced what "a short separation is better than a new marriage" means.

Su Cheng now misses Kailor and Alyssa very much.

Su Cheng set off to the south to return to the imperial capital in mid-November last year.

So, by this calculation, Su Cheng had not seen Carol and the others for nearly three months.

When he left Avalon Fortress and returned to the imperial capital, Su Cheng was actually a little happy.

Because he felt that he could finally have a good [rest].

Carol and Alyssa, especially Carol, have been particularly interested in that kind of thing since they opened the door to the new world on their wedding night.

They would pester Su Cheng almost every night...

Su Cheng was too embarrassed to reject the enthusiastic Kailor...

So when he left Avalon Fortress and headed back to Pendragon, Su Cheng felt a little happy in his heart, thinking that he could take a long-awaited rest.

But after being separated from Kailor and Alyssa for three months, Su Cheng began to miss them...

Because he missed them so much, Su Cheng even sneaked into Kailor's old room like a pervert, lying on Kailor's bed, trying to smell Kailor's scent.

Since Su Cheng was promoted to the leader of the Knights of Michael and moved to the North, this home has been abandoned for more than a year. Naturally, there will be no trace of Kailor's scent on Kailor's bed.

After trying to smell it for a few times, because he couldn't smell anything, and he also felt that his current behavior was a bit perverted, Su Cheng stood up from the bed, left Kailor's room, and returned to his own room.

For more than a month, because there was nothing to do, Su Cheng had been reading books all the time.

After Jacob summoned him and entered Jacob's room, Su Cheng found that Jacob also had a lot of books, and there were a lot of books in Jacob's room.

Because all his books had been moved to the northern border, he did not bring any books back to the imperial capital this time, so for more than a month, Su Cheng has been borrowing Jacob's books to read.

Just then--

After Su Cheng opened his door, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded from his room:

"Yo~~ Long time no see, Su Cheng."
