Chapter 589 Albert

"Your uncle Simon is also for his son, and we old brothers can't see each other once a year. I welcome you back anytime."

Derrick was a little sentimental. When he reached middle age, he was soft-hearted when he recalled the past.

To make an inappropriate analogy, if Simon rebelled ten years ago, he would definitely kill him with one knife.

But if he rebels now, he might kill him openly and secretly, take back the fiefdom, and then pass the title on to his descendants.

Qin heard his father's sigh, and an idea came to his mind. He suggested: "I heard that the transport aircraft on the Air Force side has been studied almost. Can we modify one to carry people?

It will be convenient to travel to Griffin Peninsula at that time."

Derrick didn't expect this. He has been in this world for too long, so long that his thinking has adapted to this era.

"That makes sense. I will ask someone to study how to modify it."

The large-scale production of passenger aircraft must require special research and finalization.

But regardless of the cost of modification and maintenance, sometimes you can enjoy the future technology beyond the version.

It was just a plane. It was an unimaginable treatment for ordinary people, but it was a drizzle for the royal family.

The father and son were chatting when the eunuch suddenly reported: "Earl Simon is almost here."

After a while, there was news that Earl Simon formally requested an audience.

Derek laughed: "Look, the only one who came to see me overnight after getting off the train was your uncle Simon."

Qin deeply agreed. The higher the position, the more lonely he was.

He felt it deeply. There were only a few friends who went around, and the others were very uncomfortable.

Derek took Qin to the door to greet him. From a distance, he saw Simon disarmed and walked over with big strides.

He was still so strong, with a firm face, and every step seemed to have been measured to the same standard.

He walked a few steps to Derek and saluted first: "Your Majesty... Simon greets His Majesty and the Earl."

Derek looked left and right, his face slightly condensed: "Just now I said you were not shy, why did you come alone?"

The two had communicated in advance, Simon wanted to send his eldest son to the crown prince to guard and build a good personal relationship with the next generation of emperors.

He, the earl, is different from others. He has the responsibility to guard the royal family.

The cruel means he usually uses must have the support of the emperor, otherwise he may be in trouble at any time.

This was also Derek's original intention. Simon waited until his eldest son grew up and sent him here immediately.

Although he is straightforward, he is not stupid at all and will not miss such a good opportunity.

Derek was a little angry because the other party did not bring his son directly.

Simon replied directly: "Albert is used to being wild and has not seen His Majesty a few times. I am afraid that he will make mistakes, so I will just throw him outside and wait for the palace eunuchs to train him for a few days before coming to see His Majesty."

This move is a safe behavior. After all, no one knows whether this little guy will do anything radical.

But Derek didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "How can an elder blame his nephew for offending? It's too late today, so forget it. Bring him here tomorrow and find me if there is any problem."

Simon agreed with a smile. He would not argue with Derek on such matters.

And this attitude is what he wants.

Simon rushed to the palace to meet him overnight, firstly because he missed his master, and secondly to show his attitude.

When the two talked about the past, they talked a lot.

Qin listened with relish on the side, this is first-hand information.

I don't know how many people are curious about the history of the Great Xia Emperor's rise to power.

Even Count Simon himself is a legend.

Thousands of years later, history books can't help but introduce it in detail.

After all, from a farmer's son holding a dung fork, he fought back all the way, followed the emperor to fight his way out of a bloody road, and killed the family's wealth, which is not an ordinary legend.

The two chatted until midnight, and Simon said goodbye and left.

The next day, it was the grand court meeting. Simon and his son stood at the palace gate waiting for the door to open. Many officials who arrived early felt unfamiliar.

He was away from home all year round, and the officials who were promoted in recent years had never seen what he looked like.

Simon did not change his expression and looked straight ahead. His status was special. Except for the emperor, he could ignore anyone in Daxia.

His eldest son Albert stood behind Simon, looking around curiously.

Albert stayed in the imperial capital for a few years when he was a child, and then went to the Griffin Peninsula and never came back many times.

He had adapted to the environment of the Griffin Peninsula and was a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the imperial capital.

Minister Smith walked slowly. He was considered to be an early arrival. Seeing Simon and his son standing in the front, he felt a little strange.

Looking around, it seemed that no one knew him, and some guys hid behind for some reason.

Smith was not afraid either. He stood behind Simon. Albert saw him approaching and smiled at him.

After a while, the Minister of Justice, Earl Jeffreys, also came in leisurely.

He saw Smith first and went up to greet him. He just felt familiar with Simon's background and couldn't remember it for a while.

Although the last thing didn't work out, the two of them now have a tacit understanding and have a good relationship.

Smith asked him: "The man in front looks strange, do you know him?"

"The back looks familiar," Earl Jeffreys took two steps forward and saw Simon's profile, and asked in surprise: "Simon, why are you back?"

He was not afraid of Simon's reputation, and went up to greet him: "When did you come back?"

Simon turned sideways and saw that it was the familiar young Jeffreys, and replied: "I just came back last night."

Earl Jeffreys looked at him and then at Albert, and felt a hint of abnormality.

It was normal for Simon to come back, but it seemed to be some kind of signal that he brought his son to attend the grand court meeting.

How sensitive is this old fox?

Just smelling the smell, he immediately associated a lot.

"Congratulations, this is your eldest son Albert, right? I saw him when I was a child." Earl Jeffreys touched his body, and finally took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to Albert: "I am also an elder of the grandfather generation. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'll give you a little gift."

Albert glanced at Simon, and the latter looked deeply at Earl Jeffreys. This guy is indeed an old fox.

However, there is no conflict between the two sides, but there is a basis for communication, so Simon thought about it and nodded: "Take it, Earl Jeffreys is indeed an old predecessor of our Northland."

In the officialdom, the Northland system seems to be scattered, but the connection in secret is the closest.

Even if there is no close relationship, the favor is there.

Albert took it, looked through it curiously several times, then put it in his arms and thanked him.
