The April winds blow across the Cambuur Plains, bringing a hint of greenery. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe imperial capital of Serwes, the capital consisting of the Emperor's seat of Thundercastle and the domains of other lords, large and small. Walk all the way from King's Landing to Thundercastle. The entire castle is divided into two parts: the outer city and the inner city.

The outer city is composed of city walls, moats, several arrow towers, small fortresses and military headquarters command towers. The inner city was divided into three small districts, with nobles, slums, commercial districts, and cathedrals concentrated in the south of the inner city, and the garrison of the capital was stationed to maintain law and order. These garrisons wore red robes and black chain mail, nicknamed "red robes".

To the west of the inner city is the administrative district, and the Watchtower and the Prime Minister's Tower are like two titan giants, one tall and one short, standing here and very conspicuous. The Prime Minister, Minister of Justice, Minister of Finance, and other dignitaries reside here. There were a number of meeting halls and the Emperor's resting quarters in the Tower, which were mainly used for the Emperor's Imperial Council, and the Prime Minister's Tower was used as a residence for the Prime Minister, who also handled daily administrative matters here.

On the east side of the inner city, facing a cliff, a small castle was built on the hill, called the Castle of the Monarch, which was inhabited by the current emperor Auguste Rudolf and many court officials. The inner city was guarded by the Guards.

Sebastian Heinrich stood in front of the window of the Imperial Conference Room on the 10th floor of the Tower, silently looking out the window. On a sunny day, the view was excellent, and he could see the bustling traffic of the living quarters, the hawkers hawking along the streets, the taverns closed during the day, and the carriages of the nobles passing through the crowds from time to time. The bells of the cathedral rang and some white doves were frightened and fluttered across the city sky.

The drawbridge of the outer gate was lowered at this time, the inner gate was opened, and a horse-drawn carriage rushed across the drawbridge, almost hitting another carriage, and it happened that the convoy carrying stone and wood was also about to enter the city, blocking the traffic for a while.

The construction of the castle needs more improvements, both in terms of traffic and drainage. Seeing the slightly congested roads of the city, Sebastian habitually stroked the unicorn pendant hanging from his chest, and decided to bring it up at the upcoming Imperial Council.

Sebastian Heinrich, 40 years old, from a prominent family in the province of Orlando, is known for his urban planning, Orlando is already rich in gold mines, money and sound planning, making Orlando province's urban planning not only well-organized, but also unique. Therefore, once he arrived in the imperial capital of Selves, he always found fault with the construction of the city out of professional habits. This led to the great craftsman Philip Walzer often blowing his beard and glaring at him, ridiculing him for being a master of the craftsman's job.

Sebastian Heinrich remembered the moment he was summoned by the Emperor.

On that day, Emperor August Rudolph summoned him in the Imperial Garden, and the Emperor dismissed his retinue, leaving the head of the Royal Guard, Andrés, and several of his guards to stand at a distance. The Emperor and Sebastian walked among the tulips, which had only a few buds, and the weather was still a little cold.

"Sebastian, what do you think of those tulips?" the emperor casually pointed to a few flower buds.

Sebastian still had a rigid expression on his face facing the flowers, his gray eyes stared at the flowers, he touched the unicorn pendant, and replied: "Your Majesty, I'm not good at garden design, these flowers are well cared for, but I suggest that you move the position to make it seem that you can ...... sight."

"I'm not interested in your advice! Damn, your advice is for scholars and craftsmen. The Emperor raised his right hand to stop his answer.

Sebastian chose to bow his head and remain silent.

A hint of a playful smile appeared on the emperor's face, and he said, "Don't you notice that those flowers bloom every year? Just like my empire, the Rhodes Empire has endured for a long time." The first emperor Rhodes Rudolph ruled the eastern continent, and my father, the equally great Niklaus Rudolph, ordered the western expedition and established colonies on the western continent, the sun of the empire never sets, and the emperor of the empire is divine and great. ”

"The Empire That Never Falls, the Great Emperor. Sebastian tried to keep his tone as low as he could. His Majesty shunned the tyrant Judit Rudolph, as well as his grandfather, Peter Rudolph, the regocide and relicide.

"Just before that, I ended the year-long war, and the polar people were driven back to the north and to the sea. The Emperor raised his hands and faced the lake in the Imperial Garden, facing the direction of the sun, "ushering in the hundred years of the empire!"

Sebastian chuckled, he guessed a little, but not all. The Emperor turned around, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and said to Sebastian: "I want to hold a celebration!

Sebastian shook his head, frowned, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to expand the capital, I am willing to contribute a little bit, but it is ...... to be the prime minister."

"you Sebastian! Don't be ignorant!" the Emperor laughed and patted Sebastian on the shoulder, "You know what I fancy about you? I believe that you are very accurate in seeing people and things, so it's decided!"

"Your Majesty, but ......"

"Shut up, lucky, becoming the Prime Minister of the Empire is the dream of many people to break their heads. Damn it, get on your knees and I'm going to empower you!"

Sebastian was forced to shoehorn the Prime Minister's seal and moved into the Prime Minister's Tower. He always wanted to tell the emperor that he was not comfortable with politics, but every time he was prevaricated by the emperor, saying that he would find the next suitable candidate. Out of a sense of responsibility, Sebastian had to start working as prime minister, and this was done for one and a half months.

The old man's cough broke Sebastian's thoughts, and he turned and saluted the old man, "Dear Winston Groom, are you well?"

The scholar tugged at the thick necklaces around his neck, which were made of thick rope threaded with metal sheets, each of which was engraved with a pattern, representing that the bachelor had passed a subject, and there were more than a dozen pieces of metal on the scholar's necklace, which bent his back. The scholar had already bowed his head, and he parted his white beard from the necklace, which often wrapped around the necklace and made his jaw ache. He said: "Thank you Prime Minister for your concern, after all, I am 68 years old, my eyes are spent, and my lungs have not been very comfortable recently, I even thought that I could not survive last winter, but thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, I have seen the sowing of this spring again." ”

The scholar pulled out his chair with a slight tremor and sat down by himself: "I'm sorry, my legs have rheumatism and I can't stand for a long time." When will His Majesty the Emperor and the others arrive?"

"It should be soon. Sebastian looked to the door, "Honorable Lord Wiggins has arrived. ”

Krauser Wiggins, 38, is now Chancellor of the Exchequer, dressed in dark brown linen and wrapped in a light gray woollen cloak, and walks briskly. As soon as he walked in, he said with a sad face: "Your Excellency, is it right that the Imperial Council is going to discuss the celebration? God, the treasury is empty, and it has been less than three years since the end of the one-year war, so where can I get money?" ”

"Isn't it your Chancellor's job to make money?" said briskly, bitterly speaking, Bill Newton, the intelligence chief, a 33-year-old lean, dressed in a silk cloth coat and a wide lace belt, pulling over his chair and sitting down without greeting anyone.

Krause's eyes were fixed on Bill's clothes, and he whispered to Sebastian, ", do you see that silk cloth? The intelligence chief didn't know where to get the money. ”

"I'm not deaf, Krause," Bill tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "you'd better speak quieter, better swallow the words back into your stomach......"

"How about otherwise? I know exactly what you're going to do. "Not to be outdone, the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

"The rightful heir of the great Kingdom of Gusselwice, the immortal Rhodes Empire, the great Emperor August Rudolph has arrived!" the herald tapped his wooden staff and snorted his throat, interrupting the imminent war of words between the two ministers.

Emperor Auguste Rudolph held the crooked crown, which was engraved with a stag, the eyes of the stag were carved with rubies, and the lightning at the feet of the stag was made of silver. He sat down at the conference table with a big grin, resting one foot on the table.

"Hell, the governors of the provinces are rambling for a long time, which nobles I can't remember, and who they are, anyway, they seem to me to be trivial. It took me the whole morning to meet them, and my ass hurt. The Emperor complained loudly, picking up a bottle of red wine from the table.

"Your Majesty, there is an audience in the afternoon, and there will be a pre-imperial meeting soon. Sebastian stared at the red wine bottle, suggesting that the emperor should not drink. The last time the emperor was drunk, he fell asleep listening to the report below, and he was so frightened that the governor of Gascanic, Xiu Torres, could not kneel and did not dare to speak, and when the emperor woke up, Xiu could not even stand up.

The Emperor filled himself with a glass of fine red wine from the free trade city-state of Duoge City, took a sip, and smacked his lips: "Fuck you, I suddenly thought of a way to torture the prisoner, which is to give him a meeting every day, so that his ass will be rotten." Hahahaha. ”

The members of the Imperial Council looked at each other, Sebastian showed a helpless expression, Krauser was still frowning and worried, Bill glanced at the Emperor with an imperceptible smile, and the Minister of Justice, Fred Mann, was accustomed to the Emperor's drunken words, touching the goose feather part of his quill pen and doing nothing. The great craftsman Philippe Walzer was absent this time because he was in a hurry to expand the city. Winston, the university clerk, bowed his head and drooled, and Sebastian suspected that the old man had fallen asleep.

"Meeting, meeting, meeting, wait, I'm not going to see you in the afternoon, Sebastian, you can just show up. The Emperor filled his one-third empty glass, looked at the conference table, and scolded, "Why hasn't the commander of the military department arrived yet?" Damn Sebastian, why are you in a hurry to call a meeting? Bill, accompany me for a drink first, there is more time. ”
