Chapter 269: The Second Cabinet (Part II)

It is not known whether the missionaries did not conduct a complete investigation before coming to Epirus, or whether it is unknown why the village of Biyes is so prosperous. When they began to use religion as a shield to denigrate the Palaiologos' former rule, the attitude of the villagers in the colonnaded square towards them suddenly changed dramatically.

Although they enumerate and add to the list of the mediocre emperors of the empire, and by the way there are clever ways to link their rule with the Palaiologos, I am afraid that the old priest would not have imagined that John, the prince of the empire, had defeated the rule of the old warlords in this land in front of the oppressed villagers here, and gave the common people land, food and clothing almost gratuitously, to those who had left their homeland and come to Epirus, The policy of the Empire was also maximized, and it was endeavoured to facilitate their integration into the daily life of the pan-cultural concept of Rome.

For the villagers of Bijes, it is no exaggeration that John is their reborn parents, and Constantine XI, as the current supreme ruler of the empire and the master of the great Rome, the father of John Palaiologo, naturally became the object of their worship. Denigration of the supreme ruler from among the lower masses may be applicable to any large country of a certain size, but at least in Epirus in Rome, where John personally carried out the "second liberation", the people's confidence in the empire is unparalleled.

So before the secular knights who were already eager to try it out among the people, the clergy who had traveled all the way were quickly questioned from all directions. The priest, who was still standing on the stage holding the holy water in his hand, looked at Carue's innocent eyes, and for a moment could not understand the reasons for their righteous indignation.

"Is it strange, my dear priest?"

The old priest turned his head and looked at the somewhat familiar young man in front of him. But soon, he could no longer look John in the eye. The secular knights poured out of the crowd at a faster pace, and then pushed the pretended clergy to the ground one by one.

Secular knights like Morey had no psychological burden on the clergy, and they were directly appointed by the Ecumenical Patriarch as "knights of God to enforce authority in the world", and there was no need to be accountable to anyone but their patrons, including Constantine XI and Evie Skanderbeg in theory.

"Muhammad invited such a half-witted man to preach in the empire? Oh...... Well, I allow you to look directly at my boots as you kneel before the co-emperor of the empire. John grabbed the old priest's already rather thin hair, "What's the matter?" Does Muhammad still have any illusions about his empire, which has become a shadow of it? ”

Some people were of course extremely shocked to see John in the village of Biyes for the second time, while many more homeless people saw His Majesty the Co-Emperor for the first time. For these people who usually see an earl...... Even a catcher, captain, or tax collector who had to bow down and bow down to John Valleorough was a little overwhelmed by the confronting of John Valleo.

……

John wouldn't have taken a prisoner's cart with him on this trip, so the priests had to wait for Gombryne to send a special escort to take them to the castle dungeon. This pile of prisoners has a special meaning, and it is probably not as simple as pulling it up and showing it to the public. Muhammad did fifteen in the first year of junior high school, and similar gangs may appear in the empire in the future, and this time the movement will be a little bigger, and it can also increase the awareness of the common people.

Upon his return to Gombrigne, John soon set about setting up what he had been working on for a long time—a second cabinet.

If the Imperial Council of Constantine XI was the exclusive deliberative body of His Majesty the Emperor. John's idea, then, was to formalize the Council and refine its functions, and form a second cabinet. The original team of the second cabinet of Combrigne will also be the prototype of the improved Imperial Council when he ascends the throne in the future.

"Your Majesty, have you thought it through?" Gingerie took the manuscript from John's hand with suspicion. It is true that Constantine XI gave John carte blanche to govern a large amount of land, but the establishment of a parliamentary cabinet seems to have a bit of a fuss.

"You think I've been lying in Constantinople for a year, just painting there?" John will be on Jeffrey's shoulder, "Now, I have the honor to introduce you to your future first colleague in the Second Cabinet. ”

"Giovanni? Didn't he just go to the outskirts of the Phoenix Legion? After the Arsenal moved to Thessaloniki, Urban, who did not have much money to develop artillery, seemed to have made something new out of Her Royal Highness's manuscripts. Lycaon had just returned from Thessaloniki with a sample. He also copied a copy of the design drawings and kept it with me. Jeffrey handed John a piece of parchment that seemed to have been crumpled countless times.

"Oh, we'll talk about that later. The man I'm talking about is not Giovanni. ”

When Kalujie pushed the door open, Jeffrey's curious expression froze on his face. He could never have imagined that one day, there would be a second woman in the official political scene of the empire besides the maverick Sophia...... Especially such a ...... Raunchy woman.

Kalujie is dressed today, and Jeffrey dares to conclude at a glance that she is not from an aristocratic background. Even the ordinary maids in Fort Gombrigne were dressed up more appropriately than Carujie. This is not yet spring, and Kalujie's dress makes people's hairs stand on end.

"Your Majesty...... Which Grand Duke is this...... Or is it the Governor's daughter? Jeffrey made a final guess about Calujie's ravine. He rather hoped that this woman was John's youthful and vigorous and took an interest in her looks......

"If you have to say it...... That's true. John readily agreed, "Albrecht II, the daughter of the German King of Habsburg and the Archduke of Austria—and László V are half-brothers. ”

"Albrecht has a daughter?" Jeffrey was surprised.

"Of course, she was born out of wedlock and was not recognized by the family. As for the authenticity of this question...... Now that the Empire has decided to help Laszló V regain the throne in Bohemia, we will always have to meet Elizabeth in the future, or we can solve it with a letter. John smiled, "Besides, Carlujie's pedigree isn't my concern. ”
