In March, it rains a lot.

Imperial capital.

Victory was worth celebrating, and although the treatment of the landless nobles was unpleasant, most of them were happy.

In particular, he was notified by Lanton to go to Greysnake Fort to start trading.

A large number of nobles and merchants benefited from this.

Not to mention the emperor who received a lot of commercial taxes.

So, this jubilant victory deserves a big feast to celebrate!

The grand ceremony was held in the imperial capital.

But as a meritorious hero, entering the palace to participate in the celebration banquet, Langton did not feel any happy atmosphere that a big victory should have, and the nobles and knights who entered the palace together were all silent, and their expressions were slightly solemn.

Although the emperor turned the landless nobles into pioneer knights of the steppe, this matter has nothing to do with them.

But the knighthood and title promotion that should have been there are stuck again!

This is not the first time this has happened......

There may be many more in the future!

In this way, the interests of all the nobles are shaken!

Emperor Adams August is indeed ready to carry out the matter of recovering the fiefs and rights of the nobles to the end!

After a while, Emperor Adams August, who was holding two beautiful women, slowly entered the palace banquet hall, looked around at everyone, and said with a chuckle: "You are all heroes, you can enjoy the wine and food first, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Hearing this, Bruce Medici shook his head: "It is right to wait for Your Majesty. ”

Emperor: "In that case, let's have a feast at once." ”

"Everyone is open to eat and drink!"

Hearing the emperor's words, the heroes sitting in the banquet hall hesitated for a moment, picked up wine glasses and tableware, and began to enjoy wine and food with different thoughts.

Seeing this, the emperor chuckled lightly and asked, "Duke Medici, don't you want to talk about knighthood and promotion of knighthood?"

"Your Majesty, now is the celebration feast, I'm afraid this is not the time to talk about such a serious matter. Bruce frowned.

Emperor: "Then you will have a very tasteless meal, and it will also be a waste of my time." ”

"Actually, it's no problem to be knighted and promoted. ”

"But ......"

With that, the emperor took a sip of wine, and then looked at his war heroes.

Bruce rubbed his temples and asked helplessly, "But what?"

Emperor: "I need a favor." ”

"Help me completely control the Imperial Territory and the central part of the country, so that some people who want to make trouble will leave here forever. ”

As soon as these words came out, some of the nobles in the banquet hall began to talk in low voices.

But most people have their eyes on Bruce Medici.

Bruce sighed and asked, "Your Majesty wants their private soldiers?"

"Of course. The emperor nodded: "They no longer have the rights of the nobility, and they don't have fiefs, so what are they doing with private soldiers?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Bruce: "They've been left on the prairie as pioneer knights. ”

"Grand Duke Medici, you have misunderstood, the pioneer knights who stayed in the steppe are all heroes. Hearing this, the emperor waved his head and pointed his finger and corrected: "What I'm talking about is that Lai in the imperial territory and the middle of the country will not take those wastes." ”

"They contribute nothing to the empire, embezzle taxes, and are lawless......"

"I want the Medici Archduke to be Prime Minister. ”

"Clean them up thoroughly!"

Hearing this, I was relieved to know that the emperor was not targeting the war heroes here, but to deal with the imperial lord and those nobles in the center, most of whom were from the eastern, southern and western realms.

As for the landless nobles who did not want to accept the appointment of pioneer knights and insisted on returning from the grassland, their faces were all pale, and their eyes were full of anger.

As for Yelena and Isabella, the two duchesses, they are watching the excitement.

Wait for the matter to be a foregone conclusion, and then consider accepting the landless nobles who want to cling to.

For the post of Prime Minister of the Empire, Bruce Medici was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, but the emperor stuck the knighthood and the title of knight, and all the heroes in the banquet hall looked at him with blank eyes.

Even if they understand that they will choose to say no.

There must be mustard in my heart!

It doesn't matter to the people in the south, west, north, and snowy regions, but he can't be ashamed of the nobles of the eastern realm who were born and died with soldiers and horses under his command.

But he was cheated once, and he didn't want to be cheated a second time.

There is no benefit to being Prime Minister!

"Your Majesty, I still have to protect the eastern border, and the post of prime minister should be chosen by someone else. ”

Emperor: "Grand Duke Medici, you know I need you, and since you can't be prime minister, let's get married." ”

"You still have a ......"

Bruce stood up with a "Teng": "Your Majesty, don't be joking!"

"And the position of Prime Minister?" the Emperor smiled.

Bruce sighed in deep gratitude, then nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I can hold the post for a month at most." ”

"Too little. The emperor shook his head: "Ten years." ”

Bruce: "Your Majesty, I can't leave the East behind. ”

"That's three years. The Emperor said again.

Bruce: "Three months at most. ”

The emperor thought for a moment, and then said without refusing: "One year." ”

Bruce, who looked gloomy, nodded helplessly when he heard this, so as not to bargain again and let this bastard emperor talk about his daughter.

And with these persecutions, becoming prime minister can also do some things by the way......

"Which one is Gabriel Langton?"

Seeing that Bruce Medici had agreed to be prime minister, the emperor looked around at the crowd and asked, "Stand up and let me see." ”

Suddenly named, Langton felt that something was wrong.

This emperor was completely faint in the eyes of everyone, and Chris's face was suddenly full of worry when he heard this.

Tywin didn't understand the Emperor's actions either.

"I'm Gabriel Langton from Northland. Regardless, Lanton stubbornly stood up.

After all, it's just a clone, and even if something goes wrong, you can't die.

Most......

Change the plan again......

"Very well, Gabriel Langton, would you like to be called the Minister of Commerce of the Empire?" the Emperor smiled and said, "This is a position I have set up for you. ”

"I appreciate your ability to make money. ”

The first time he saw the emperor, most of the nobles and knights were particularly surprised by him.

It's completely different from the emperor they imagined!

Bruce frowned: "Your Majesty, which department does the empire have a finance department, a tax department, and a commerce minister?"

"It doesn't seem to be in order. ”

Emperor: "Well, it's really not in accordance with the rules, so the Minister of Commerce is only a position that is accountable to me, and it has no governing power, and it does not belong to the Finance Secretary and the Tax Department. ”

"It's for me to run the Royal Chamber of Commerce. ”

"The Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, the Royal Chamber of Commerce is the private property of the royal family, and the manager is logically not qualified to be a minister, Langton, as a hero of the two wars, not to mention the fact that he pioneered the knights, and his military exploits are enough to promote the earl and obtain a relative fief.

Bruce frowned: "Your Majesty, Gabriel is a meritorious soldier of war. ”

"Let's not talk about His Majesty's new position as Minister of Commerce. ”

"Is it reasonable for him to run the Royal Chamber of Commerce?"

"I am the Emperor. Adams August chuckled, "I have the final say in everything in this empire." ”

"What do I want......"

"You're going to get it, aren't you?"

Hearing the emperor's reckless words, everyone could be sure that he was the faint king.

Langton thought for a moment and said boldly: "Your Majesty, I can help manage the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and the position of Minister of Commerce will not be needed." ”

"But in business, business......"

"Am I going to get some benefit from that?"

"Are you talking about business?" the emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You are really a shrewd businessman, and you are talking about it at a high level." ”

"As for the benefits, what do you want?"

The exchange of interests has always been reciprocal, and strength and status are also the two most important of them, hearing what Langton said, Bruce Medici, who cherished his talents, couldn't help but cast him a vague look at Brother Ji.

Tywin also hurriedly reminded Langton not to make a fuss.

Langton didn't care: "Your Majesty, I want the Lanton Chamber of Commerce to take a stake in the Royal Chamber of Commerce." ”

"Shares?" the emperor pondered for a moment, "I know this is the word you proposed, and I also know what it means......

"But the Royal Chamber of Commerce belongs to me and belongs to the royal family, why do you want to take a stake?"

Langton chuckled: "Help Your Majesty make money." ”

"I love to hear that. Hearing this, the emperor smiled and pointed at Langton: "Then how much money can you help me make?"

Lan Dun thought for a moment and asked rhetorically, "Then I don't know Your Majesty, how much is the tax this year?"

"I don't remember much, about three million gold coins. The Emperor said.

Langton: "If I take the helm of the Royal Chamber of Commerce completely...... You can make three million in three months, but not one million a month. ”

"Three million in three months? You're still the first pioneer knight to dare to bargain with me like this, and if it was before, I would definitely punish you for a crime of disrespect. The emperor looked playful: "But I like people who have the ability." ”

"You can make three million in three months, so how much money can you make in a year?"

Langton thought for a moment: "I can't be sure, but it will definitely exceed five million." ”

"And it can stabilize at about five million gold coins a year. ”

At the end, he added: "After paying taxes." ”

"Hahaha~" Hearing this, the emperor laughed happily, money is the foundation of the operation of the country.

If, in addition to taxes, the income is increased by five million gold coins per year.

Whatever he wants to do, he will do more with less.

"As long as you can increase your income by five million gold coins per year, I will allow you to take a stake in the Royal Chamber of Commerce. ”

Langton added: "Your Majesty, it's not like you're going to make five million right away. ”

"These things... ...... to talk about in detail"

Emperor: "You can talk about it in more detail sometime." ”

"And..."Landon: "I know how to doppelgänger, after all, I am a mage, and my body will go to the Alien Plane to learn magic......"

"You don't have to tell me these things. The emperor waved his hand magnificently: "As long as the money is in place!"

Bruce: "Then Your Majesty, is it time to announce the title?"

The emperor smiled and nodded: "I have approved the knighthood and the promotion!"

"Everyone, enjoy the feast!"

"Have fun!"

......

......

After the interlude of the banquet, the heroes of the war finally regained a little joy.

Of course, just a little.

After the celebration banquet in the imperial palace, everyone left in twos and threes, and then reunited in various entertainment venues in the imperial capital.

Return to the exclusive Northland Stuart family's mansion.

Yelena, who followed her cousin, unleashed her extraordinary power, sensed that there were no outsiders in the mansion, and used the scroll to create a soundproof barrier in the study, so she asked in a deep voice, "Lord Tywin, you are Isabella's most trusted and wise advisor. ”

"What do you think about what happened in the palace today?"

"About His Majesty the Emperor?" Tywin said with a complicated expression, "It's not easy. ”

"One thing is certain, though......"

"Your Majesty really wants to take back all the rights and fiefs of the nobles. ”

"Let the marshal... When Grand Duke Bruce Medici entered the dynasty as prime minister, he probably intended to cause chaos in the east, south, and west, as well as in the snowy and northern regions. ”

"It even leads us to hate and fight against each other. ”

Yelena nodded: "I may have thought of these too, but everything in the empire is up to His Majesty the Emperor." ”

"We were passive. ”

"So, is there a way for the advisor to break the game and teach us?"

Tywin: "Yes, but we can't. ”

"We don't have to do it. ”

......

......

Spring nights drizzle.

Deep in the woods on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Loki sat under a large umbrella, and finally waited for Ares and the yellow-robed Langton.

"You're too late, you've wasted half an hour on me!"

Ares: "After all, I have shown the strength of the master rank, and although I have made meritorious contributions in these two wars, the empire and the royal family are still full of wariness of people of unknown origin like me, so I took a little detour. ”

Loki: "Well, you really should be careful. ”

"Now there's something to say. ”

"And... Gabry, what's the matter with your robes?"

Putting on the yellow robe and reining in the weird and terrifying influence, Langton also began to control all his strength: "Don't care about this robe, I asked you to meet today to talk about political affairs, the alien plane and the situation......"

"Wow~" Loki made a funny look of surprise on his face: "You actually want to talk to me about political affairs?"

"Even if you become the Minister of Commerce, does the affairs of the court have anything to do with you?"

Langton: "Bruce Medici is about to become Prime Minister, even if I have only one name, and I can't meddle in the business of the Secretary. ”

"But do you really think that some people will not find me?"

"Tell me something important. ”

"Okay. With that said, Loki couldn't continue to hide anything, and said, "The two sons of Emperor Adams August, Pete Augustus and Nick August, have returned from the Otherworld. ”

"The old Duke Gendry Bourbon has been secretly staying in the imperial capital after the counterinsurgency. ”

"The landless nobles who remained in the imperial capital were constantly in contact with the royals. ”

"Although no one dared to touch them, some people couldn't help but be ready to move. ”

"The Grand Duke of the Western Frontier has been confirmed dead, no one knows how he died, and the entire clan has been wiped out, the Emperor opposes the re-election of the Guardian of the Western Frontier proposed by the ministers, and also removes the post of Guardian of the Western Frontier. ”

I don't know what Bruce Medici thinks, but he's ready to help the emperor deal with the landless nobles. ”

"The landless nobles who were cornered......"

"Will walk into the trap prepared by the emperor. ”。

"As for the heteroplane... I don't know as much as you do. ”

...... To be continued......
