At this moment, the palace was plunged into serious chaos. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Sochar, who announced the opening of the Crown Prince's Palace, appointed to himself the posts of ministers of the interior, finance, agriculture, foreign affairs, and the imperial ministries, as well as the prime minister, and the next ministers appointed by Xuanbu had the same powers as the current ministers.

Indeed, the opening of the Crown Prince's Palace allows the Crown Prince to wield power related to state affairs. But this is only normal when the current emperor gives clear instructions on the intention and period of abdication. The purpose was also to maintain policy continuity when the crown prince ascended the throne. However, such a sudden put himself in the same position as the current one and forcibly seized government affairs, causing the scene to fall into chaos.

Of course, there were no legal restrictions on the appointment of ministers to the Crown Prince's Palace. But in reality, for people who work on the front line, this is unacceptable in any way. It is not surprising when the emperor fell ill and died, and in the near future, the next minister appointed by the crown prince will become his superiors. If you resist these guys, you'll be targeted and put yourself in a dangerous position. That is, in the face of the uncertainty of the future, he began to work for the preservation of Mingzhe. As a result, a dual power situation has been created in which the current minister and the next minister have the same treatment.

Of course, opposition to Sochar's actions is also pouring in from everywhere.

"Why is it that the crown prince is allowed to hold the power of the state?" and so on. However, with the tough actions of Sochar, who was identified as the next emperor, this argument also lost its strength. The so-called orthodoxy can only stand up if the opponent respects it from the beginning. It's of no use to someone who was going to cheat from the start.

The authority and authority of the current minister comes from the emperor. However, the emperor was in a state where he could not clearly communicate his will. As a result, they are like candles in the wind, and they can no longer handle government affairs on their behalf. And this kind of thing is suppressed by the rising sun of Sochar, in principle, and in fact it is no longer allowed to be like this.

Moreover, on the side of the Senate, since almost all of the main peace faction was under house arrest in their own homes, only the main war faction supporting Sochar was left to preside over the proceedings.

Resolutions in favor of the main camp and bills in favor of Sochal were passed one by one, and no one could slow down this trend. Because of this, most of the ministers were helpless in the face of this chaos, and could only blindly hope that the emperor would recover.

After announcing the imminent arrival of Crown Prince Sochar, the door to the hall of the Crown Prince's Palace was opened.

Under the watchful eyes of the next ministers, civil officials, and military officers who had been summoned, Sochal walked in majestically through the open passageway.

The splendid exterior of the Crown Prince's Palace, which contrasts with the splendid costumes woven with gold and silver thread by ambitious young civil servants and military officers, makes it look like in a painting that puts the current emperor's ministers above it in terms of luxury.

A little later after the crown prince was Tiuret.

She is still the Crown Prince's [possession] after all. However, from this moment on, everyone saw the figure of the crown prince behind her. Located closest to the crown prince's light source, she seemed to be shining with the light herself, and even though she was a slave, she received the courtesy of a prince from her surroundings.

Thorchar slugged off his cloak and pressed it against Tiuret, who was waiting. Then he sat down on the seat equivalent to the main seat of the Crown Prince's Palace.

Tiuret took the cloak with a blank face, serving like a dutiful servant.

On the other hand, Pinna, who had been waiting for a long time, impatiently walked to Sochar's seat and asked in a questioning tone.

"Brother, why do you want to remove the representatives of the Lord's and Legislature, such as Count Cajel and Lord Cicero, and put them under house arrest?"

Sochar frowned in confusion and explained, with an inexplicable expression on his face.

"House arrest or something doesn't sound good. These people are suspected of being bribed by the other party. Therefore, they had to be confined in their own homes until the investigation was completed. ”

"Buying, just buying?"

"Yes. Even within the scope of the information that is currently known, the suspicion is very high. According to the results of the investigation, it is natural that they must be punished. ”

"This punishment has not been officially decided by trial, has it?"

"It's a time of war. Those who are active in the army because of the enemy's tactics and engage in acts that benefit the enemy are to be executed, so is there room for trial one by one? ”

After hearing these words, Pinna's vision instantly went dark.

Indeed, there is a precedent for the punishment of soldiers and accountants who spread gossip in the army and for officers and accountants who have been bribed by the enemy. But this is an expedient disposition when the battle is imminent, and the battle is imminent. Punishment without trial should not have been. For example, even if it is a commander, it is not allowed to convict and execute his subordinates indiscriminately. In most cases where miscalculations occur, the matter of "Subordinates Punished" cannot be investigated, and "Why Subordinates Are Punished" will be investigated to the end. And if the reason is not recognized by others, this time you will have to be punished yourself.

Pinna looked at her brother, who did not understand this basic principle and used the sophistry of [there is a precedent in the army] to punish others at will and make big mistakes, and suddenly became powerless.

"Alas, brother. How far do you have to go......"

"What a wordy one! Now that my father is ill, I, as the crown prince, will take over the government affairs on my behalf. In that case, everybody has to accept what I'm doing. ”

"Brother, is there something wrong with your understanding of the change of power? The change is accompanied by the inheritance of responsibility, so it doesn't mean to do whatever you want!"

"I'm annoyed! Don't you scold me one by one with a preachy appearance! Is this the attitude I should have?"

"This is how I have always had my attitude towards the Emperor. ”

In front of Pinna, who resolutely spoke, Sochar was caught off guard, and his eyes flashed for a while.

"Cut. Indeed, as you say, I admit it. However, as an emperor, I cannot tolerate all of them. ”

"So, are you going to cut off my head?"

"Not like that. You have not been bribed in mediation with enemy nations. It's good that you can concentrate on this. ”

"However, the newly appointed representatives, Earl Woody and Baron Clayton, etc., do not even have the slightest intention of concluding a contract!"

"There's no such thing. These people are also looking forward to the eventual conclusion of the peace talks. However, the status quo cannot be maintained for peace talks. That's just how I thought about it. ”

"It looks like it's a winning game. ”

Pinna sarcastically said, but Sosal never lost.

"The losers, swayed by pessimistic views of things, can't understand the need to find a way to win?

Sochar shouted the names of the three men to the lined army.

Standing at the forefront of the officers, they walked up to Sochar and got down on one knee.

In the middle is the Viscount of Helm, on the right is Lord Mitola, and on the left is the Marquis of Carrasta.

Each was one of those appointed to the rank of general in the Crown Prince's palace in Sochar
