There was not a hint of wind, and the leaves movedww.la A few unknown birds stood on the branches, their mouths wide open, staring at Isaac. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, come here, little bird. Isaac put his hand out the window, holding an apple in his hand.

"The Chancellor of the Exchequer is very childlike. Bill poured himself a glass of juice and laughed.

The intelligence chief finally had a meeting and stopped drinking. Sebastian's eyes swept over the glass of juice and then at Isaac.

At first, Sebastian felt that Isaac had become Chancellor of the Exchequer through nepotism, and had a preconceived notion that the boy was of bad character. But through this period of contact, he found that Isaac has an optimistic personality and even a bit of innocence.

Isaac shrugged, tossed the apple into the sky, caught it, took a bite, and said, "The Imperial Council? How did you endure all these years?"

"Meetings are part of the life of important officials in the court, just like people need air, which is indispensable. Bill Newton quipped, "You don't know how many chairs we've broken down over the years." ”

At this time, the Minister of Justice was late with the book, and Sebastian ordered the meeting to begin.

"Your Majesty the Regent, there is another letter from the school, and the scholars agree that this summer will not only be hot, but will be long. Winston Groom, a college officer, had changed into a shirt and wrinkled skin on his dry arms, making him look older than he really was.

"The last time you told me, maybe it would be December, unbelievable. Sebastian nodded, he didn't want to waste time on repetitive topics.

"Oh my god, that's to say, five full months. Isaac looked at Bill, "The girls are in their shirts and curvy, and we've had plenty of time to feast our eyes on." It's a lot of fun to play in the water with the girls, isn't it?

"Isaac, don't learn from Olaf Kruger, let alone from him. Sebastian stopped, "You should have a shape." ”

"Oh my God, Your Majesty the Regent, don't be so serious. It's a hot summer, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is young and vigorous, and it's normal to care about the girls. Bill smiled, "After all, young people have more important things to do than work." ”

I have nothing but work. Sebastian felt thirsty in his throat, poured himself a glass of juice, moistened his throat, and said, "But Isaac reminded me that if it is so hot for a long time, we should think about the drought and the autumn harvest." ”

"Your Majesty the Regent, in the vicinity of Thundercastle, I have ordered the digging of a new cistern as soon as possible. "I also have a suggestion to encourage farmers in the provinces to improve their irrigation systems through tax cuts or subsidies. ”

"Very good advice!Bell, you are very attentive!If necessary, the Empire's artisan affairs department will send someone to guide you. "Sebastian is very pleased with the new master craftsman, and Bell is often able to think of Sebastian together, even more long-term and thoughtful.

Isaac was dumbfounded, he looked at the master craftsman, then at Bill, and asked, "Am I right? Tax cuts, subsidies? It's all money! The treasury is very empty, and he owes a lot of debt, where is he going to get the money?" At this time, Isaac looked like the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, Krauter Wiggins.

"It's your problem. Sebastian said calmly.

Isaac waved his hand helplessly and said, "Oh my God, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer borrowed a lot of debt, and there are a lot of bad debts, and besides, someone from the Ministry of Finance has recently quit. ”

Everyone looked at Sebastian. They all understand.

Sebastian gripped the armrest of his chair and kept his tone steady: "Isaac, before you ran for office, you should have known that you would have to solve these problems. If someone in the Ministry of Finance doesn't do it, then find someone else to do it. But until then, Fredman, take the Treasury Department under control and check if there is a problem. ”

"Exit audits. New tricks, Your Majesty the Regent, you always look at things with the way you manage projects. The Minister of Justice complained on the spot, "After the matter is completed, it must be audited, and important posts must also be audited when the incumbent leaves his post." The legal department has limited energy, and these new gadgets have no basis in law. ”

"Then write it into the Imperial Code!" Sebastian said in an accentuated tone, "If you feel that your energy is limited, then divide a group of people and set up a separate department, and add another seat to the Imperial Council." Yes, that's it!"

The scholar squirmed, looked at Fredman, and said, "I would venture to ask, what does His Majesty the Regent plan to do with the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and the former Great Craftsman?"

Bill frowned and looked at Sebastian.

"How's the investigation going, Fredeman?" Sebastian held out a finger, "There's still a week, and there's only one week left for me to limit you." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of Justice gave the scholar a blank look. He cleared his throat and said, "It depends on what His Majesty the Regent wants? Do you want to confiscate their fiefs and cancel their titles? Do you want to put them in Devil May Cry Mountain Prison until they die? Or do you want to behead them?"

Sebastian heard the Minister of Justice's words. Recently, he has also heard some rumors that he has arrested a group of people on charges under the pretext of investigating corruption, and installed his own people in the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Craftsmen Affairs.

"What do you mean by what effect do I want?" exclaimed Sebastian, "I never thought of taking this opportunity to exclude dissidents!"

Commander Ludwig blushed and remained silent, while Isaac drank his juice while his eyes scanned the others.

"I didn't say that. Fredman's face turned red and white, "I don't know which damn one, it's spreading these words: the Ministry of Law is now the sword of the regent, and whoever doesn't like it will be cut down." Seven gods, I'm risking my life to help you. ”

"Not for me. You should be loyal to the Empire. Sebastian corrected, "Listen to all of you: if the important ministers of our Imperial Council can be honest and honest, those officials will naturally be able to work for the Empire and devote themselves to the Empire." ”

"Tsk. It's really a big talker. Commander Ludwig finally spoke, "Those non-commissioned officers and soldiers of mine, if they don't give some extra benefits, who will work for the empire?"

That means that you don't recruit yourself, and the military department has also degenerated. Sebastian looked coldly at Commander Ludwig and said, "By the thirst for honor, by loyalty to the Empire, by the reverence of military duty." Commander, I shouldn't teach you this. ”

"you Sebastian!" Ludwig slammed the table and yelled, "I've been leading my troops to war for so many years, and you don't know where to draw your crappy drawings during the war!"

Sebastian was furious, he had tolerated Ludwig for a long time. He also slapped the table, and his voice was louder than Ludwig's: "The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, this principle is the same everywhere! Ludwig, if you think that those soldiers under me are difficult to manage, then I will find someone else to be the commander." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was dumbfounded.

"O Seven Gods, Your Majesty the Regent, Commander Ludwig was the hero of the year-long war. Bill took a sip of fruit wine and said, "It's hot, do you want some juice?"

Isaac's face turned white with fright, and he took another glass of juice and drank it in one gulp. His hand holding the cup was shaking.

The scholar tugged at the necklace on his chest and said slowly, "Your Majesty the Regent, no one is perfect, just as you can never be sure that there are no errors in the building. How many years of ups and downs have we, the important ministers, and His Majesty the Emperor? You are loyal to the empire, but you are too strict with people, and you are angry. ”

Ivana is right, you important ministers have been working for more than ten years, and none of them are as good as me in four months.

Sebastian shook his head slowly, and said, "How many years have you been through all the ups and downs? You have indulged Emperor Auguste's drunkenness, conceit, and irritability, and you don't know how to persuade him to indulge in hunting. "A few of you have manipulated state affairs, and when you meet me, you can't sleep and eat, and you sit like pins and needles.

"Seven gods, pity me, I'm only 33 years old, because I drank with His Majesty the Emperor, and my belly is as big as his. Bill frowned, sighed, and patted his beer belly, "You also know the temper of His Majesty the Emperor, who dares to say a word." ”

"Your Majesty the Regent, you are going too far to say that. Fredman frowned, the quill in his hand spun in circles, "Lord Bill is right, no one dares to say a word to His Majesty. At the banquet of the Imperial Celebration, he wanted to kill Governor Kajielun Yang, did you persuade him? He wanted to participate in the knightly group competition, did you persuade him?"

Sebastian was speechless for a moment. The words of the Minister of Justice made his stomach tumble and remorse hit him again. In the whole celebration, the only one who dared to say no and dare to admonish each other with death was Kajielun. I should have stepped up.

"That's right, don't stand and talk without backache. Commander Ludwig waved his hands, and when he saw that everyone else was on his side, his voice became louder and louder, "Sebastian, you have only been in Thundercastle for half a year, what do you know? Maintaining the empire depends on wisdom, and you, dumbfounded, only have a tattered clothes of honor and a suicide note left by His Majesty the Emperor." ”

Sebastian licked the juice that remained in the corner of his mouth, and he tasted bitterness, and at this moment, most of the members of the Imperial Council were against him, except for Isaac, who was speechless with fright, and the new master craftsman.

"Forget it, everyone is for the empire. Bill shook the empty bottle, "I'll just say that juice doesn't relieve the heat." Would you like a glass of wine?

The scholar stood up with a slight tremble, he stared at Sebastian, and said word by word: "Do you think I'm useless? ”

Early in the morning I took Count Arryn to see the corpse. Sebastian remembered that earlier, he had told the scholar to save the Grand Prince at all costs.

"The Great Prince is awake?!" Bill repeated with a scream, as if everyone was deaf, "Seven gods bless!" (To be continued...) ）
