The older a person gets, the stronger his desire becomes.

The same is true of Fei Wenlie XVIII, who still wants to control Yiqiē, but as the situation in the empire continues to change, he also admits that he is a little overwhelmed, so he needs a qiē helper.

In the past, although he favored Leonardo. Beirut, but he always felt that he was not mature enough to stand alone...... This is also the reason given by those who are naysay, and they are always able to find some specious reason to oppose the proposal of his group of nations.

However, this time the investigation report fully reflects Leonardo. Beirut's need as a politician allows him to confidently and boldly entrust him with more responsibility...... At the thought of this, Fivinette XVIII felt extremely relieved and joyful. Beirut is his true favorite.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows that if it weren't for the defeat of the Hulk by the Marquis of Bell led by the Cordillera, once they enter the hinterland of the empire in a big way, I am afraid that the life of me and you will be even more difficult than it is now. Fivinlie XVIII asked, the expression on his face smiling rather than smiling.

"Yes, yes."

"There is no doubt about it."

No one is going to play the role of a bad scenery at this moment, and almost everyone is applauding.

……

Seeing the response from below, Fei Wenlie Eighteen felt a burst of happiness in his heart, the news of the defeat in the war in several major provinces in the southeast had been selectively forgotten by him for the time being.

At this moment, he felt as if he had once again regained the emperor's majesty, and this qiē was brought by the marquis of Cordillera...... Of course, Leonardo. Beirut's uneventful investigation report also contributed to it.

Originally, Fei Wenlie XVIII had already thought about how to reward the relevant personnel, but sitting here today, watching the reactions of the ministers, he calmed down again, and felt that his previous thoughts were a little inappropriate.

All along, he has thought too much about how to reward meritorious deeds, but relying solely on merit to reward them is of little use at all, and on the contrary, it may cause resentment among those who have not been rewarded.

glanced at the ministers below, and saw that their eyes were intertwined, as if they were invisibly weaving into a complex and huge net...... Fivinel XVIII immediately realized what the problem was.

The root of human nature is that it is difficult to be satisfied, and they always exaggerate their own merits, but they do not see the contributions of others. The last time I spread the favor evenly on everyone's heads according to the size of the merit, it made most people feel dissatisfied, and this time I must not repeat the mistakes of the past.

As for the courtesy expressed by these ministers in front of him, on the one hand, it is because the impact of this investigation has not been eliminated, and he is afraid of getting into trouble, and on the other hand, it depends on how he will deal with it this time...... They probably didn't have the intention of watching the excitement.

Thinking of the various reports asking for rewards in the past few days, Fei Wenlie XVIII sneered slightly in his heart. Those people were like sharks, flocking to the news when they heard good news, but none of them seriously considered what responsibility they should bear for the military defeat in the southeastern provinces.

For a long time, these people have formed a community of interests, and they have confronted the imperial power in a different way, manipulating the military, but also the economy, and even thinking about controlling the imperial power.

From the time he ascended the throne, he wanted to confront them, to divide and disintegrate them...... It's so hard!

This is a ...... that has been in business for hundreds of years Even a network of thousands of years or tens of thousands of years has affected the whole body, and the eighteenth Emperor Fei Wenlie has fought with them for decades, but he has not succeeded.

But now, he has a less mature idea...... Instead of rewarding some guys who don't have a sense of belonging to him and the Empire, why not reward those who know how to be grateful?

In fact, he had this idea for a long time.

In terms of her attitude towards Hathaway, Fivinlie XVIII saw that her own father and mother could not be fully relied on, so he increased her promotion efforts...... Of course, this is also up to Hathaway to fight for herself.

Fivinlie XVIII wanted to create an interest group that had little or no intersection with the previous aristocratic families, and the rich rewards would make them the target of envy and resentment of others, and if they did not rely on themselves, they would be swallowed by the old nobles.

Fivinlie XVIII's mind was still thinking about the investigation report just now.

Without a doubt, Hathaway's feats were the most outstanding this time. Fivinlie XVIII had originally intended to give this miracle girl an unprecedented promotion, but now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, mainly because she is too young.

For Hathaway, it doesn't really take much fame, as the 'Marquise de la Cordillera' is already Heidelberg's most striking name.

Heidelberg definitely has no shortage of titles such as duke, marquis, and even prince, but there is no name that can compare with Hathaway. The name Bell is even louder.

This, even Leonardo. Beirut is hard to reach, after all, he has not yet been fully recognized by high society.

Giving Hathaway too many rewards is obviously an unnecessary move, not to mention, he originally hoped that this miraculous girl could serve as a buffer between the royal family and the lord, sending a signal of goodwill to those wavering lords - the royal family has no intention of infringing on the rights and interests of the lord.

Fivinlie XVIII had a deeper consideration, people like Hathaway who had made meritorious deeds had not been rewarded enough, and those who shy and stretched out their hands to ask for a reward, what qualifications did they have to insist?

But for Hathaway, there is something to say about it anyway. Moreover, some of Hathaway's subordinates are obviously brave men, and if they are given appropriate rewards, they will naturally be grateful for the kindness of his emperor.

In the beginning, Fivinel XVIII was reluctant to give too many titles, fearing that the proliferation of titles of nobility might be detrimental to the future of the empire, and the rebellious lords were a precedent. But at this moment, the biggest crisis is at hand, the invasion of the underground race is difficult to resist, and at this moment, there is still a large group of guys in the rear pulling their hind legs.

If these things are not resolved, perhaps the Otiga Empire will disappear into the history of the same ancient empires that were once equally untouchable and unattainable.

As long as you compare it with this, giving some lower titles and paying some government positions is obviously nothing at all. And at special moments, the title does not have to be connected to the territory, and it is completely possible to use the land of the enemy-occupied territory as a reward...... At first glance, this may seem a bit unkind, but it is an encouragement to the victors.

As soon as he understood this, Fivinlie XVIII immediately knew what he should do, and all he needed at this moment was to make his courtiers seem to do what he wanted...... The reason why he hoped that the ministers would understand or not was because he definitely didn't want anyone to stand up against him.

With a gentle wave of his hand, he interrupted a courtier who was talking impassionedly about the merits he had attained.

"I think all of the suggestions mentioned in the column are very reasonable."

His Majesty the Emperor said indifferently: "The two reports presented by the Marquis of Beirut have given us the most profound and comprehensive understanding of what happened ahead. Once the Hulk breaks through Gettysburg, all of you, including me, are likely to experience that horrific and terrifying catastrophe. And now, thanks to these people, we should be thankful for the deliverance we have received from our terrible nightmare. ”

"As is customary, the Cordillera Plateau will be safe and sound at the moment, and the Marquis of Bell, as the supreme military and administrative officer, will receive the most abundant merits. It's clear to everybody. In the Battle of the Black Forest, Marquis Bell, as the lord, should have resisted on the front line. But in the Battle of Gettysburg, Marquis Bell could have stayed out of it, but not only did she bravely take up the responsibility of relieving the siege, but she also defeated the Hulk and reinforcements in one fell swoop, and I think that the combination of these two feats is enough for Marquis Bell to be eligible for the first merit of this victory. ”

Speaking of this, Fivinlie XVIII glanced to the sides again, and he paid the most attention to two people. One of them was undoubtedly Field Marshal Tucker of the military department...... From the marshal's eyes, Fivinlie XVIII did not notice the slightest look of surprise.

Perhaps this was already expected by those soldiers.

This was a little comforting to Emperor Fivinlie XVIII, who had always been rejected by the courtiers who were quick to oppose him, and since there was no opposition at the moment, no one would have stood up to oppose him after the meeting.

And the other one is Leonardo. Beirut, to his relief, did not get a break from Leonardo. A look of jealousy was seen on Beirut's face.

"Since all the ranks agree to this mention, let's discuss what kind of reward should be given to the Marquis of Bell for his merits."

"Considering that those underground races have not been driven back to the dark region at this moment, the future battle situation is still unpredictable, and the treasury is extremely scarce, so there is no need to take out the economic rewards.

I know very well the character of the Marquis de Bell, a man who values honour rather than money, and is well aware of the abundance of the treasury, and I am sure she will accept any kind of reward we give her. ”

The eighteenth Emperor of Fei Wenlie also took great pains to make the mention of the ministers appear more effective and focused, and even uttered this most obvious hint, and none of the people present were really fools. R1152
