Chapter 331: Good Words (Finale)
"You said that it was the Frey family who invaded the world of the Hammer Lord, and if I'm not mistaken, you were actually the one behind the Freys, right? ”
The king said to Petyr with a somewhat indifferent expression, his tone was flat, but there was an unbearable sense of oppression in it.
Petyr couldn't help but clench his hand that was grasping the cane - he had arranged everything very well this time, but at the last moment, he didn't expect that Grayton and Princess Shi'an would suddenly return to the lord world of Ye Chu, which attracted the attention and anger of His Majesty......
In the high-level game of power in the empire, the most basic point is to pretend to be confused.
Petyr instigated the Frey family to kill Ye Chui, as long as he was not an idiot, he could think of this, but as long as he showed enough evidence to prove his innocence, then His Majesty could not openly punish him.
After all, although Ye Chui is very promising, and Dajinsi and Busdor, who are living in the lord's world, are also important to the future of the country, but the importance of him as the Chancellor of the Exchequer cannot be compared.
So in order to stabilize the economic situation of the empire, even if His Majesty guessed what he had done, he could only turn a blind eye.
Although the king's position is high, he sometimes has to make many compromises.
Petyr counted it all out.
But he didn't calculate that Grayton and Princess Shi'an would suddenly turn back after leaving the lord world, and now the little princess is also trapped in the lord world, which has completely angered His Majesty, if something happens to the little princess, then His Majesty will definitely kill him directly regardless of any possible crisis......
"It wasn't until after Shi'an and her knights left the Lord World of Hammerhead that I informed the Frey family of the action...... But why did Princess Shi'an suddenly turn back again? someone informed her of what was about to happen in Lord Ye's world...... Someone is deliberately targeting me!"
After knowing that Princess Shi'an was also trapped in the lord's world, Petyr immediately made this judgment, and he did not hesitate to come to meet His Majesty the King, and took the initiative to recruit the Frey family to be the mastermind behind it.
Hearing His Majesty's question, Petyr bent down and fell to one knee on the ground. With one hand on his chest, this is a gesture of repentance, he lowered his head and said, "I have always controlled the Frey family in my hands, and I have treated them as one of my pawns. But I just found out that I was actually their pawn, and the old ancestor of the Frey family was still alive, he was a mage in the field of fire specialization, and he knew the gray flame magic that could split souls and control others. He deposited a wisp of his soul in my body a long time ago, my every word and deed was controlled by that old ancestor, and the contradiction between me and the hammer was also caused by the old ancestor, and the back door key of the hammer lord's world was also stolen from the palace by the old ancestor, until the old ancestor brought people into the lord world of the hammer head just now The space was closed, and he himself may have encountered some danger, so his control over me completely disappeared and made me sober up. ”
Hearing Petyr's words, everyone around showed a surprised expression, the Imperial Finance Minister, known as the Three-Eared Fox, had been secretly controlled by an old immortal who had lived for thousands of years?
This time, the Frey family invaded the lord world of Leaf Fall. Was it also caused by Petyr under the control of that old ancestor?
- What the hell is this!
His Majesty's eyes burst with anger, and he suppressed his anger and said, "You think I will believe your words?"
"Your Majesty, I know you won't believe it, but I'm telling the truth. Petyr said in a sincere voice.
"Petyr, I don't think you, the Imperial Chancellor, want to be ......," the king said coldly.
"Your Majesty, I resign from the post of Imperial Chancellor. Petyr interrupted His Majesty with a sudden voice, "I hope that my departure may be used as punishment for my sins." ”
With a movement of his hand, he took out a very quaint-looking key, which could be said to be a token of the Imperial Minister of Finance, and Petyr respectfully placed the key in the hands of His Majesty the King.
His Majesty was stunned at once.
Dorne, who was standing nearby, was also shocked.
More people around were stunned.
Reich Chancellor of the Exchequer, one of the cabinet members. Controlling the economic lifeblood of the empire, I don't know how many people racked their brains to get this position, and Petyr actually took the initiative to resign?
And some smart people soon understood that Petyr was trading his position in exchange for a cabinet member who was appointed after deliberation by the cabinet members. The cabinet is divided into three factions: pro-church, anti-church, and neutral.
Petyr was an important member of the pro-church faction.
His Majesty is inclined to reject ecclesiastical sects.
With Petyr leaving and relinquishing his position, it is highly likely that the distribution of cabinet factions will be changed again, a bargaining chip that His Majesty cannot refuse.
"Petyr......" His Majesty the King bent down slightly, his eyes looked coldly into Petyr's eyes, "You better hope that nothing will happen to Shi'an now." Otherwise, I won't forgive you no matter what kind of chips you come up with. ”
After saying these words, His Majesty straightened up, put the quaint key that represented the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer into the spatial ring, turned to Dorne and said, "Escort Petyr back to his mansion, and stay by his side until this is over!"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Dorne nodded hurriedly and said, understanding that His Majesty the King was trying to put him under house arrest for Petyr.
Petyr, who had changed from the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer to an ordinary nobleman, stood up from the ground and bowed to His Majesty the King again, and turned to leave, only to leave when he glanced at the large signboard of Anthony's magic shop with glittering effects, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His original plan was to control the Frey family's people to enter the lord world of Ye Trai and kill Ye Trai, and afterwards he would blame all this on the Frey family, and the old ancestor would cooperate with his plan to marry - the old ancestor had no feelings for the Frey family for a long time, and was even full of disappointment!
Before the Frey family attacked the world of the Lord of Leaf Chui, Petyr had a secret conversation with the Ancestor, during which Petyr promised the Ancestor a bargaining chip that he could not refuse, and the Ancestor would completely betray his family and fully cooperate with Petyr's plan.
The plan was supposed to be perfect.
The Frey family will disappear from the world, and of course, the new royal family that makes Petyr dream in the middle of the night and gnash his teeth to wake up.
But...... Princess Shi'an, however, disrupted the original perfect plan.
Princess Thi'an is the person His Majesty cares about the most, if there are no accidents. She will also become the future queen of the Matan Empire!
Framing Princess Shi'an?I'm afraid that even fellow scholars and imperial affairs officers, who are also pro-church factions in the cabinet council, will not help him in the slightest.
As a last resort, Petyr had no choice but to decisively make the best choice: to trade his post as Chancellor of the Exchequer for his own security, albeit temporarily, but to give him enough time to make other deployments.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer position is a very powerful tool in his view. It's just that at the moment he had to put down this tool.
Dorne's follower led Petyr off Queen's Street.
And at this time, in the Y shadow in the corner next to him, Varys, who was wearing a gorgeous robe and painted with delicate and heavy makeup, had a smile on the corner of his mouth.
It was he who informed Princess Shi'an to go back to the Lord of Ye Chui's world.
He figured everything out there from the start. And his ploy succeeded in what he wanted: to make Petyr lose his position as Chancellor of the Exchequer!
Varys is a neutral faction in the Imperial Cabinet, and he is the only one in this faction, and his position in the parliament seems to be the last, but if anyone dares to provoke him, it will definitely outweigh the losses - Petyr seems to think that he is a eunuch and has no manly temperament at all, so he will often behave rudely towards him, which has always made Varys very unhappy, of course, Varys will target Petyr for a more important reason......
His Majesty, who was walking back and forth in front of Anthony's magic shop, suddenly calmed down with anger on his face.
He was clearly not as anxious as he appeared on the outside.
There is no doubt that his daughter is in danger now, but ...... He wasn't worried.
He was full of confidence in Ye Zhuo. How could a man who dared and could steal even the power of God be slaughtered so easily?
The Freys invade his lord's world, and they will only suffer themselves.
Ye Chui and his daughter will not have an accident!
Earlier, he showed that he was so angry that he seemed to have lost his mind, but in fact, it was all acting.
Petyr has gone too far this time, and he has to pay some price.
The price is the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
And His Majesty got what he wanted.
- In short, the top echelons of the empire's power are all a group of acting schools, proper actors......
"Hammerhead...... Don't let me down......"
His Majesty suddenly stopped, looked at the door of Anthony's magic shop, and said secretly in his heart.
……
In the world of lords at this moment.
"Bang-"
A fast-moving god of war golem falls in response to a magic sniper.
More than 1,000 meters in the air. Ye Chui was holding Liel into invisibility.
After finding out that she had hit her prey again, Lil immediately waved her hands happily: "Sugar Candy, Sugar Candy ......"
"I've made a note of it, and you've got fifty-six lollipops by now. Ye Chui put away the magic sniper while rubbing Lil's little head as a snack snacker. Then he contacted Freya, "How many enemies are there in the forest right now?"
"There are only nine God of War puppets left, and there are still three members of the Frey family, but a few of the monsters on our side have been seriously injured, and two dwarves have also been accidentally injured just now. Freya replied.
"What about Debbie and them?" Ye Chui hurriedly asked with concern.
"They're all right. ”
"Oh, that's good. You tell them to retreat to the castle, and the rest of the God of War puppets and the Frey family will be left to me to deal with. Ye Chui continued, he looked up at the sky, and before he knew it, the night had passed, such as today, the curtain had gradually brightened, and after a night of forest guerrillas, the results were very remarkable.
"Okay, but you should be careful...... Freya hurriedly said, "The little gray flame snake that the old ancestor turned into is swimming around, and two of them have been fused together, it seems that the old ancestor is collecting his own clones and wants to re-fuse with this venerable!"
"Just waiting for him to show up. Ye Trai sneered, after playing hide and seek all night, it should be over.
That's all for these two updates today.,It was originally the most difficult to write the network bridge.,But I got a cold...... I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
