When the first rays of dawn appear, the clouds in the sky turn pale yellow and the sun shows its face. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Sebastian stood on the balcony of the Tower, watching the rising sun, thoughtful. In the week since His Majesty the Emperor's death, it has rained in the imperial capital for a week, and the water of the Suluz Canal has overflowed the cordon. However, the rain was so heavy that the drainage canals at Fort Thunder could not drain the water, and the river backflowed, and the low-lying slums were damaged.

Sebastian ordered an overnight rush, and the master craftsman cursed and complained about the cold and wet. In a fit of rage, he ordered the knights of the Imperial Guard to escort the master craftsman to the slums. Walking on the road, the back-up water floods people's knees, dead mice, dead cats, and garbage float everywhere on the water, and under the water, the feet will sink into the mud and garbage heaps all the time.

When Sebastian pushed open a door, he was surprised to find a mother sitting on a stool on her bed at home, shivering with her baby in her arms, and water had overflowed the edge of the bed. When she saw the knight of the Imperial Guard, her mother wept bitterly. That night, Sebastian never slept as he ordered the master craftsmen to dig new drains, and he ordered the golden robes to follow the paupers to block the sandbags.

"Your Majesty the Regent, the sky is finally clear. "I heard that you didn't sleep the night before, organizing a rescue in the slums. ”

Your ears are sharp. Sebastian pinched his eyebrows: "Yes, the duty lies, Lord Bachelor, even if His Majesty is here, he will do this, it is the Emperor's duty to protect his people." He was not used to being called "His Majesty the Regent".

"No, His Majesty the Emperor will not rush to repair the embankment himself. He would give the master craftsman a whip and then shout at the master craftsman to rescue him overnight, and if the water overflowed the noble district, he would be furious and swear that he would cut off the parts of the water wherever the water overflowed the master craftsman's body. The scholar stroked his beard and stared at Sebastian's face, "Your Majesty, Regent, your face is very bad. I'm not speaking ill of His Majesty the Emperor, I mean, you are different from the past, and your health is a blessing to the Empire. As my admonition: you don't have to do everything. ”

I didn't want to be a regent. Sebastian sighed and fell silent. The bachelor is right, I can't do everything myself.

Bill Newton, the chief of intelligence, arrived late, wearing a wide purple-gold robe, put his hands in his sleeves, and bowed: "Your Majesty the Regent, today's royal meeting is really early. ”

"Disaster waits for no one. Sebastian watched the intelligence chief wear clothes made of high-grade silk fabrics at every turn, and couldn't help but smack his tongue for his family possessions. Maybe I should let Bill Newton be Chancellor of the Exchequer.

After a while, the Minister of Justice, Fred Mann, dressed in a black robe and yawning, walked into the Imperial Conference Room, pulled out his chair, bowed to everyone, and sat down.

Commander Ludwig gasped and complained: "Damn it, Sebastian, you are in such a hurry to have a meeting so early, what is the big deal?"

Sebastian sat at the chair of the table, looked at the attendees, and shouted to the herald, "Go and get down Master Krauser and Master Philip." ”

The herald swallowed his saliva and replied embarrassedly, "Lord Krauser went out with Her Majesty the Queen early in the morning, and Lord Philip said that he was sick and could not come. ”

"Oh, I forgot, His Majesty the Regent doesn't drink when he's on business. Bill Newton smiled and looked at the table, "I thought you knew that Her Majesty the Queen had taken him to comfort the victims early in the morning, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer was probably crying early in the morning." ”

"Her Majesty went to the ghetto?" Sebastian thought of the queen's safety first, "how many guards did she bring?"

"Don't worry, 5 royal guard knights and a team of golden robes followed, not to mention that she was going to deliver money and food. Bill licked his lips, it seemed that he had not changed his habit of drinking with His Majesty the Emperor.

The scholar praised: "Your Majesty the Queen is really beautiful and kind, Her Majesty the Regent rushed to repair the embankment and direct the drainage of the flood overnight, and the next day Her Majesty the Queen sent money and food, your love for the people will definitely be passed down as a good story." ”

Commander Ludwig yawned, turned his head and asked, "Sebastian, oh no, His Majesty the Regent, is anyone absent, are we still in a meeting?"

Sebastian nodded, took out a quill pen, looked at the notepad, and said, "We'll open it now." After the death of His Majesty the Emperor, there are too many things for the empire to deal with. Lord Fred, when will the final accounts audit of the Imperial Celebration come out?"

"My lord, no, Your Majesty, this should be asked to Lord Krauser, he is in charge of the money. Minister of Justice Fred shrunk his neck, "According to the administrative division of labor, I am only in charge of the legal documents of the Empire."

"Shut up! I remember very well, I asked you to intervene in the audit of the final accounts, and you did it for me!" Sebastian's heart was lit with a fire, "I tell you, you have to audit strictly, if I find a problem, I will try to ask you!"

"I ...... Your Majesty, you shouldn't be like this. Fred protested on the spot, "You should not make a presumption of guilt, you are assuming that I do not act according to the laws of the Empire, after all, interlacing is like a mountain, and mistakes are inevitable." ”

"You!" Sebastian seemed to be slapped in the face by a nerd, and even the most honest-looking nerd dared to contradict him on the spot.

"Watch your tone, you're talking to His Majesty the Regent. The scholar turned his head and coughed, "The Minister of Justice should know the rules. ”

Fred cried: "Lord Bachelor, I don't mean to offend, I'm just afraid that I won't do well and disappoint Your Majesty." ”

Soft with hard. Sebastian clenched the quill and looked at Bill.

Bill touched his nose and said, "Lord Fred, I think Your Majesty's request for you to intervene in the audit is a sign of trust in the Ministry of Justice, the empire is full of talents, and you will find the right person to do it." He accentuated the word "please," and the nerd heard the overtones and shut up.

"Commander, you still have something to do, the murderer of the magician, please continue to do it. Sebastian asked for the next topic.

Commander Ludwig gasped and snorted, "That's a joke. I remember a royal meeting before the celebration, and everyone agreed to find a few death row prisoners and kill them. Everyone agreed to do so, and His Majesty the Emperor was very pleased. Cassius was also sent to the Great Wall, and more than a month has passed, and I haven't heard any news of the magician being killed, so I thought it was all over. ”

"Those are two different things...... Sebastian heard the thorn in the commander's words, and the implication was that everyone was bullying the king, "for the safety of the magician, for the stability of the empire, continue to look for the murderer." But I hope next time it's the real murderer. ”

Bill interjected, "Speaking of which, I heard that something big happened at Devil May Cry Mountain Prison?"

Fred Mann's face immediately turned pale and he shrunk his neck: "How do you know?"

Sebastian slapped the table and asked sharply, "Lord Fred, what are you hiding?!"

The nerd was so frightened that the book in his hand fell to the ground: "Wronged, there was a fire in Devil May Cry Mountain Prison, and many people died, it seems that the kitchen fire was improper." When the news came, it was the time of the celebration, and the Governor of Caselon said that the celebration was unlucky to kill people, and at the ceremony, he told His Majesty the Emperor that many people had died, and I was not looking for death myself? ”

Sebastian frowned: "How many people died?" Damn, scholar, write it down, and let the master craftsman send people to repair the Devil May Cry Mountain Prison, and the legal department is responsible for the investigation and the subsequent prison personnel work." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The scholar rubbed his eyes, and the quill made a rustling sound on the paper.

He swallowed his saliva and struggled to speak the third topic: "The Governor of Kajielun is dead, and the Empire needs to find a new Governor." What do you recommend?"

The Minister of Justice glanced at Bill and said, "The Governor is well-informed and well-connected, so I believe there must be a suitable candidate." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bill put down the lemonade in his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and pouted: "Don't look at me like that, I'm just doing a rat-like job, how can I know someone who can be a governor?"

Well said, even if you recommend it, I won't adopt it. Sebastian looked at the scholar and asked, "There are many talents in the city, can you recommend some candidates?"

The scholar thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the scholar can only serve the lord, and I am afraid that the governor does not have this ability." ”

Commander Ludwig exclaimed, "I have a candidate, Count Becker Weber, who is of noble birth and has great prestige in the province of Menot, and if he were to be governor, no one would dare to speak up. ”

"What is he like?" asked Sebastian.

Bill shook his head slightly.

"Rest assured, he enforces the law impartially and is strict with himself. Commander Ludwig looked at Sebastian, "Just like you." ”

"Are there any other candidates?" Sebastian didn't nod.

"The Richter family in the Ha An region, they occupy the Ha An area, they have a fortress that occupies the three river valleys, and their power is huge. "We need someone to fill the vacancy of Governor Young as soon as possible, and the Governor's Mansion of Orlando is so close to his hometown that he can take office soon." ”

Bill coughed lightly and looked up, "Sorry to scare you, I choked on lemonade." It's not as good as red wine. ”

The scholar straightened up and suggested, "Your Majesty, I suggest finding someone who is familiar with the province, such as a local." ”

Sebastian shook his head resolutely: "No, the locals will be partial to the locals when they are governors, and I need people who are loyal and fair to the Empire." ”

"......Count Weber," said Commander Ludwig hurriedly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Earl Weber is very old. Sebastian shuddered when he remembered the family coat of arms recorded in the Imperial Heraldry, the Webb family's coat of arms as the Hanging Ghost Tree, "Say it again." The matter is still inconclusive today. ”

"Sebastian, fuck you, come here early in the morning, and if the discussion is inconclusive, I will listen to your scolding. Commander Ludwig scolded, "I'm busy with military affairs, so I won't accompany you." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The Minister of Justice, dressed in black, with a gloomy face and a pale face that made him look like a living dead, glanced at Sebastian and walked out of the conference room with his head down.

The scholar sighed and knelt down to Sebastian.

Sebastian watched him slowly walk out of the conference room, looked back and saw Bill taking out a bottle of red wine, and smiled: "Your Majesty, can I have a drink now?
