Chapter 270: Puppet Emperor?
The Imperial Capital City is in ruins, but the nobles of the Imperial Court and the Imperial Capital City still have a lot of wealth, because they still have many mineral veins.
It's just that the imperial capital was destroyed, and they still felt very heartbroken, after all, many of their industries were originally in the City of Holy Light.
If you want to talk about the entire Garneman Empire, who scolds Dylan and his son the most fiercely, it is naturally the nobles of these imperial capitals.
The imperial capital was completely destroyed, and the royal palace was not spared. Now, on a fairly flat clearing outside the imperial capital, a huge king's tent stands on it.
At this time, in the royal tent, Klatt sat on the throne in the center, and a large pile of papers was piled in front of him.
Now that the imperial capital has been destroyed and the archbishop has died, there is no real person in charge of many political affairs. The new king is finally going to take matters into his own hands.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Jobrie, stood respectfully aside, bowing his head, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Klatt looked at the paperwork for a while, then yawned and said to Jobry on the side, "I'm tired, why don't you read it for me for a while?"
Jobly immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy again and again, saying: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to make my own decisions about such a major matter of state!
Klatt sneered: "Cowardly? Why didn't I see it? Over the years, have you made your own decisions less?
At this time, Jobley's face was as dead as ashes, and he said with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, you can't wronged me! Many things are not decided by me at all, and they are all secretly instructed by the Brandt family, so I dare to carry out the order!"
"Oh, it's the Brant family, tell me how much the Brant family has made you do over the years!" said Clatt with a calm face.
Jobly hurriedly said: "Over the years, many officials have been appointed and promoted, and that is what the Brant family meant. ”
"There is also the construction of the Church of the Holy Light in the Imperial Capital, and the placement of officers of the Brant family in the Legion. ”
"The construction of the airship lift platform in the Imperial Capital City, even including the location selection in the early stage, is all the instruction of the Brant family!"
The fat man was excited, where could he take care of anything else, and immediately began to narrate.
After listening for a long time, seeing that Jobry still hadn't finished speaking, Klatt interrupted him impatiently.
"According to you, the Brant family has controlled almost all the decision-making power of the empire over the years, right?" Klatt asked in a cold voice.
Jobley trembled and said, "So to speak. After all, behind the Brant family, that's the archbishop!"
Klat's face turned cold: "Archbishop, that's all in the past, who is in power now, I think you should understand, right?"
Job Brie nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the archbishop is dead, and the Brant family should be punished accordingly." In the future, our Ganeman Empire will definitely move towards a more brilliant future under the leadership of His Majesty the King!"
Klatt frowned, raised his hand and motioned to Jobley to stop talking: "Don't say these flattering words of yours in front of me in the future, then Robert may like it, but I don't eat it." ”
Job quickly smiled bitterly awkwardly, and then knelt respectfully to the side.
Now that the archbishop is dead, the Brant family has been dealt a fatal blow. And the Chancellor of the Exchequer Jobry himself is the Brant family, and seeing that the dependence has fallen, this cunning fat man naturally has to weigh it again and choose a backer again.
Klatt said to the palace guards not far ahead, "Go, bring Robert up!"
Soon, a middle-aged man, dressed in rags and with his hands and feet tightly chained, entered the king's tent barefoot.
Under the carpet at the entrance of the king's tent was a sharp gravel, on which Robert stepped on it, and felt only a heart-piercing pain.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't make a sound. He looked forward through his stray hair, only to see that Klatt was leaning on the throne, looking at him with a smirk.
When Robert reached the throne, Jobly saw the opportunity and kicked Robert on the ankle, causing the former to fall to his knees in front of Klat.
"Bold sinner, when you come to the presence of His Majesty the King, don't you know how to kneel on your own initiative?" Chobrie rebuked loudly.
Klatt pretended to say: "Chancellor of the Exchequer, how can you kick him, he is a great hero of the empire, and the military power of the empire is in his hands!"
Jobrie hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can such a person control the imperial military power? He is a sinner who vainly tries to usurp the power of the king!"
This time, Klatt did not refute, but looked coldly at Robert in front of him, and sighed a few times: "What a pitiful, the former Great Magus, who controlled the military power of the Empire, has now fallen to such a state? I don't think even you expected it, right?"
"Hey, all of his magic was destroyed by Dylan, and now he's a wasted person, it's really sad!"
When Robert heard these words, he couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes were full of murderous energy, and he wanted to stand up, but found that his feet were trampled by Jobley, and there was no way to get up.
Klatt smiled coldly and said:
"I didn't expect it? My father, as a god of law, died at the hands of a Holy Spirit guard! Do you think you can control me by using that stupid woman of Suona? Then you underestimate me too much. ”
"Yes, you guessed it right, I have indeed been pretending all these years, I have always been addicted to wine, and in your eyes I am a foolish prince who is good for nothing. But if I don't, how can I escape your assassination?"
When Chobrie on the side heard this, his forehead was already covered with sweat, and he never expected that His Majesty, the newly ascended king, had been hiding all along. And hearing the word "assassination", Jobrie was even more shocked. It's just that he tried to be as calm as possible, and secretly swallowed his spit.
Klatt stared at Robert kneeling in front of him, and continued: "Don't think I don't know, my second brother and third brother should have died at the hands of your Brant family, right?"
"More than ten years ago, in the battle to destroy the dragon, my two brothers went out together, and you secretly assassinated the two of them, but said that they died at the hands of the dragon, which is really ridiculous, others may believe it, but I and my dead old king brother do not believe it. It's just that your Brant family has built up huge feats back then, and we can only endure it!"
Jobley was already soaking wet, he wished he wasn't there now, he knew in his heart that the more he knew, the more dangerous he became!
