In everyone's senses, His Majesty the Emperor became more serious, stern and strict. He still has a good habit of accepting dissenting opinions, but is more obsessed with the fact that his orders must be carried out to the letter. There have been many people in the palace who have been punished for not doing their best work. If so, should it be punished? It's just that in the past, His Majesty the Emperor would criticize and encourage a few words, but now he will really be whipped.

It is believed that His Majesty the Emperor is under tremendous pressure, and that the whole Second World Blood Meteor is on his shoulders, and that those who cannot complete their duties are not adding to the chaos? His Majesty the Emperor can do what he says, if he wants to solve Terrasque, if he wants to block the bloody meteor, he will block it, if he wants to distribute the fields and seed farming tools, even if he starts a war and empties the treasury, won't he also distribute it?

Through the troubadour, the image of His Majesty the Emperor as true to his word was gradually established. Because the propaganda was based on facts, and because there was a teleportation array between the working group and the capital to shorten the distance, the spread was very efficient and reached out to the grassroots level, far more than the traveling pastors of the church. However, beyond the facts, there are also fragments of information that are put together for delivery.

"Many nobles are afraid of our Majesty, so they give a lot of money to the church. Do you know why?"

Small talk in a tavern is often the fastest way to exchange information, especially when someone is giving you a drink or someone is cheering you on.

"They were going to send their precious sons to church. Tsk, the stinky boy who hunted and played with women the day before became a probationary paladin and priest the next day...... In the future, I don't want my daughter to go to church, even if it's a good church. ”

"Think about it, this was originally meant to be given to Your Majesty at the time of surrender, so those guys weren't deliberately digging into Your Majesty's corner?" "There are not enough seeds and farm tools to plough cattle, so Your Majesty took out his own money and pasted it to the treasury. Although the country is His Majesty's, but if you take money from outside, don't you feel distressed?"

"If you think about it again, if you give it away, you will receive it, and if you send it, why should the current Holy Three Castle cancel His Majesty's title of saint, do you understand?" the man complained while drinking, although his voice was deliberately low, everyone could still hear: "Now there are many strange things. The saints recruited by the goddess can also be canceled by mortals. If it's an angel, I think it's credible. ”

Such "strange words" immediately caused a backlash, after all, in the habit of many people, questioning the church has never been an option. "Shut up! Are you here to deliberately discredit the church? Have you forgotten who is protecting and protecting the Yongli Continent? Who is bringing kindness and a bright future to everyone?"

"A saint has stopped the terrible Terrasqui Behemoth, and now he is not a saint. Why don't you explain to me what happened?" the drinker raised his glass to his opponent and said, "If you encounter something you can't figure out, ask if this is also the teachings of the goddess?"

Such a thing, as long as you make a start, doubt will do the rest by yourself. Without the convenient teleportation network of the Working Group, the priests and priests at the grassroots level did not know how to answer these questions. When they perceive that suspicion is growing and that the credibility of the church is being undermined, they react and report the information. Then, relying on the method of pulling horses and carrying them, they announced the truth: His Majesty the Emperor's title of saint was his own resignation.

Previously, the church's statement was that "Fitch Hall became emperor and therefore unfit to be a saint" – a statement that preserved the dignity of the nobility of both sides. But decency is warm, and truth is as cold as steel, and when the two conflict, the face is not dry. Feige grabbed the iron and secretly slapped the church's face. When the church reveals the truth, it becomes more and more wrong because it is too late.

"The Church of Truth Thunder is inseparable from Truth and Thunder. The former should tell the truth, and the latter should be fast. Feige called the Minister of Intelligence, Maxers, to his side and spoke to him of this. "I ask you the same, tell the truth, be fast. If you are not sure, just say it, and if you are investigating, you should say it quickly. Your troubadours are doing a good job this time, but they are always a double-edged sword, and you have to keep it in your hands carefully. ”

Overall, it's still the same, and Maxes is already very happy with the result. Recently, His Majesty the Emperor has become more and more like His Majesty the Emperor, and his majesty has slowly caught up with his strength. Many people don't feel very comfortable, like Eddie, Tron. This doesn't include Maxhers, though.

In the minds of the intelligence chiefs, His Majesty the Emperor is purer and easier to understand, especially compared to the past. Think about it, a powerful guy who can face Terrasquier alone and fight against him, smiling and very relaxed all day, looks terrifying. Those who are in power must have a corresponding appearance, and the emperor is by no means a priest who sends people with sorrow in their hearts.

To consolidate the power of the emperor, it is necessary to constantly compress the space for other powers. Mercers knew very well how the Noble Federation had hindered the previous king, and he also understood that Andrew was unwittingly tied by the church because of the habits of the paladins. Now, His Majesty the Emperor is able to shake off the false name of the saints, free his hands and feet, first clean up the remnants of the nobility in the country, hold the power in his hands, and then continue to crowd out the influence of the Church.

Finally, I can see a different era than before. A smile curled up at the corners of Maxhers' lips at the thought of this. Fitch noticed this keenly and asked, "What do you think of that would make you so happy?"

Since the conversation took place in Feige's study and not in the Iron Throne, there was no third person here besides them, so Maxhers could take the opportunity to show his heart. He spoke of his thoughts on the purge of the nobility and the restriction of ecclesiastical authority, and expressed his determination to stand firmly by His Majesty's side as a faithful eagle dog......

"Just do what I tell you to do. I don't want to be a god, so I don't need to be faithful. ”

Messers froze, he didn't expect Feige to answer like that. At first, he felt that His Majesty the Emperor was tempting, but then he felt that this kind of temptation was too superficial, and even a little naïve, and it was not at all in line with His Majesty the Emperor's intelligence. Is this true? There is no need for a faithful ruler to be such a ruler, waiting to be overthrown?

"Now it seems that your wisdom is also limited. Feige waved his hand and said, "Well done to shake the image of the church, let your troubadour give it a push, don't be self-defeating." You're going to start the next more important thing: to match the propaganda of the Winter Offensive. From this winter onwards, I'm going to hit the original Hoya nobility United Kingdom. Eddie's side will let the residents who move over live well, but how to make them move in with peace of mind is something you have to worry about. ”

Historically, wars between nobles have often been fought, often in the name of justice. Feige is really going to fight the original border this time, and there will never be only one such operation. While Maxes was excited to serve a powerful empire, he was also troubled by the work that would go into the process. What kind of excuse, as long as it is an excuse, it is impossible to repeat it again and again.

"Your Majesty, I can't think of a good plan for a while. Do you have any ideas for shape there?"

"You have to have your own ideas in the future. Feige's admonition made Maxes more puzzled than the previous "no need to be faithful", and he was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head. Feiqi didn't seem to notice anything unusual, his tone remained steady, and he continued without any emotion: "Let's just say that I want to build a magic tower and put an end to the blood-colored meteor." My Magic Tower can only defend a certain range and it costs a lot, so wherever my territory goes, the Magic Tower will go. ”

"Your Majesty, are the ten magic towers of the first phase of the project used for this?"

Feige shook his head: "The first ten magic towers were arranged along the Sunset Mountains, they were the foundation, the foundation and energy source of the defense towers later. Well...... You're not a magician, so I'm not going to tell you anything more specific. Remember, your troubadours have to cooperate with the working group, and they have to keep their mouths shut, and those who talk nonsense and add fuel to their own fire to cause trouble will be punished as treason. ”

Treason and murder are capital crimes. Maithers replied reflexively, thinking of the recently promulgated Imperial Code. It is a huge set of 36 laws in different aspects, from basic principles, specific provisions, annotations of legal cases to implementation methods, and the scale of more than one million words is numbing. Of course, what is even more shocking is that as soon as this "Code" is taken out, there are 300 sets, exactly the same, piled up in an entire room. No one knows when they were written or when they were printed.

"Yes, the cases in this code can be turned into stories, and your troubadours will find some work. Feige waved his hand and told Maxers to leave—as he knew through the Eye of Coktar that Thunder White was approaching.

Under Thunder White's arm was a copy of the Code, which was the part of the Criminal Code, and the most important and heaviest of all punitive laws. This code was drafted by Feige's contract demons under Feiqi's orders, and then asked the little devils to simplify and revise it. Contract Demon is good at nesting, colluding and locking legal text forms, and it is too difficult to find loopholes or deficiencies in them. But their style is too obscure and difficult to understand, and it needs to be simplified in entry-level language, such as the little devil, who is proficient in petty deception.

Subsequently, Feige combined his own ideas to revise the entire code, removing the obvious hellish and removing from it a very important law, the law on the management of non-governmental organizations. This created a loophole in his entire code system, but neither the Hell Devil who was responsible for drafting it nor the people from the Yongli Continent who saw this code would know this.

Feige gave the code to the members of the Inner Court for them to study, and then it was distributed directly to each working group as the basis for their work. The laws left over from the old kingdom were still made according to the rules of the king above the law, the nobles above the punishment, the knights above the commoners, and the priests to the gods, which is no longer suitable for the current empire.

Everyone knew that a new law would come into being, but they really didn't expect it to be so detailed and so fast. The members of the inner court thought that Fei Qi also had a staff group and was very powerful, but no one thought in the direction of the devil. Rumors that His Majesty the Emperor was the devil had appeared, but there was no market at all, and they quickly disappeared.

Thunder White hurriedly came for this law, she was the fastest reader, and she had the memory of the goddess of truth and wisdom, so she was particularly sensitive to some of the provisions in the code. Fitch had already guessed that she would come, and raised his hand and began to draw magical runes in the air.

After the transmission, Thunder White entered the study, and she was immediately attracted by the magic runes in the air. Since he figured out that Bright Light's prophecy was actually a deception of the creator, and that Thunder White was not the destined savior, Feige was much more relaxed and in the mood to play tricks on this clever student.

"Can you understand this rune circle?" Fei Qi showed her the core of the circle that was going to be used on the magic tower, which was actually a bit risky. He had been observing Thunder Bai, paying attention to her every subtle movement. It can be seen that Thunder White is indeed thinking hard, but it is still far from coming up with an answer. A little annoyed, a little unconfident, and then, as Feige had expected, she pulled her eyes away from the circle and pressed the code under her arm against the Emperor's desk.

"You're trying to distract me again......" Thunder White pouted. She looked like a child at this time, and every time Feige saw it, he couldn't help but associate her with the image of the goddess, so he thought it was very interesting. "I think Your Majesty is a very good person, and every time I come, I can't accomplish the goals I expected, and I will have a lot of work. Not this time!

Feige smiled and removed the circle. Thunder White stretched out his hand to the circle, "Eh, eh!@-@!" Her mouth curled even more, but Fei Qi retracted his smile. Very good, Thunder White can't understand this magic circle, so after encrypting the core, she can't understand it even more, so everything can start to be arranged.

"Let's get down to business. Fei Qi immediately occupied Thunder White's train of thought, pointed to the Codex and said, "It seems that you are dissatisfied with some of the regulations in it?"

"It's a very detailed code, it takes care of all aspects, it's a great book. Thunder Bai praised twice, and then said, "But I think it's too harsh." There are many death sentences, and some cut out ears, noses, and tongues, which are too cruel. ”

"It's cruel, I think so, but it's necessary, and it's sure to have a good effect. Feige said: "In fact, within the nobility, each lord manages his own territory, and the punishment is much more severe than this. Have you ever seen or heard of tying people to a waterwheel and drowning slowly? No one can repeat the interval of holding their breath and breathing day and night, not wanting to die, but also knowing that they can't last three days. Compared to those, I'll give it a knife, which is a big improvement. ”

"Uh......" Lei Tingbai's body trembled, barely lifted his spirits, and said, "If you say that, I'm going to have nightmares at night." I mean, can we join the mechanic of atonement so that they can change their ways? You're also a confession pastor, aren't you?"

"Of course, I support rehabilitation, but the punishment is for what happened before, and the correction is for the after, and the future should not reflect the past, which is the basic principle. "As for the confession, that's the work of the church, not the emperor's," said Feiqi. ”

"Can the church save the hearts of these people?"

"Let these people go to the church on their own, the Holy Trinity Castle is not far away. My empire does not need a second atonement confession priest. Feiqi said: "Xiaobai, you'd better not associate with the people of the church in the future, I don't want them to appear in my territory more and more." ”
