The next morning, the sun was warm, the palace door of the palace had been opened, and one after another Roman civil officials entered the great building of Rome, the Great Palace of Constantinople, what would happen to the emperor's summons this time, these officials were secretive, the first great court meeting had half of the nobles of the imperial capital were beaten as rebels and sent to prison and did not come out, and now no one dares to underestimate this little emperor.

Alexios sat on the throne, when all the Roman officials, large and small, were in place, and the palace gate was closed, there was silence at the court, not that the officials did not want to speak, but they really couldn't figure out the temper of this lord, in case he liked to kill someone like nothing like Conrad or set fire to the palace like Nero, whoever came out would die first.

Alexios has another face in his heart, and he is also a little scratching his head in the face of these people, if he kills someone clean like cleaning up the big nobles to govern the people's livelihood, if he stays and waits until the new election system is implemented, these people are silent on the surface, and making small moves in the dark will undoubtedly drag him back, and the emperor is also quite entangled in his heart now.

"Read it out." The emperor directly issued an order, deciding to implement it first, and at the same time test the reaction of the officials below.

"The Emperor of the Roman People, the great Augustus, the supreme commander of the Empire, Caesar hereby issued a new decree to implement a new system of official selection from this day, and all officials of the Roman Empire, regardless of whether they are high or low, must pass the three-level examination, consisting of six subjects, including Greek, mathematics, science, law, geography, and history, and those who pass the annual examination will be granted the status of official of the Roman Empire. At the same time, the original departments at all levels were changed to six departments: the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Education, the Organization Department, and the Supreme Court, and the six departments of the Consuls and the Tribune were re-established, and the local courts set up juries, which were randomly selected from each place to serve by 30 Roman citizens. ”

When Licinius read out the edict of the New Deal and State Affairs, the officials of the Roman Empire in the audience were already stupid, and they did not expect that the emperor would dig up the roots of the aristocratic family, and the future Roman Empire would be decided by the emperor's imperial council?

Originally, the first to jump out should be the big nobles headed by the four major families, and this edict hit them the hardest, but now the big nobles in the entire Roman imperial capital are basically in prison and staying in the bureau, and the officials in the audience are all from small and medium-sized nobles.

Alexios breathed a sigh of relief and sighed deeply, even if the corrupt bureaucratic class of the Roman Empire was still a little saved, he would not be so drastic and slash to kill the existing aristocratic system of recommending and electing officials, but now is also the best time, and as the years go by, a new big aristocratic class is born, and then legislation will undoubtedly attract huge resistance.

Now it seems that these little bureaucrats don't even have the last bit of blood, but since they don't stand up and pull their own hind legs, it's also a good thing, the suffering of the lord of the revival is now deeply understood by Alexios, unlike the master of entrepreneurship, he can start from scratch with a blank sheet of paper, he faces internal challenges from the royal family and local warlords, as well as these useless corrupt bureaucrats.

Alexios stood up and waited around the ministers to speak slowly: "Rome has been silent for too long, the first priority now is to organize production, in the future, local food production will be linked to the promotion of officials, in the coming days Rome will experience a long war, I will not have too many days in the country, and the regency cabinet will be formed by the consuls and tribunes and my mother to manage the empire." ”

Alexios was not afraid of opposition from the aristocracy, but feared that these bureaucrats would do something behind their backs, and that the people's livelihood would be ruined by the time, so he decided to issue a new decree.

"From now on, the eunuch Licinius will lead the organization of a new spy department, which will be responsible for detecting hostile forces at home and abroad, and supervising the actions of all officials of the Roman Empire, which will be named the Sword of Damocles."

"His Majesty the Emperor has decided to select people from the private sector to be officials by national examination, regardless of whether they are high or low, have you heard?" This matter has been kept secret in the capital, and it has only been spread throughout the entire imperial capital in just half a day.

"I feel like I can go to the exam! It is not my ambition to be a pastor and serve God all my life! Betharch in the church said to his father, with a burning ambition in his chest, how he was willing to be a priest all his life, and what a sweet term for the revival of Rome, and he could not wait to set foot in the great palace of Constantinople.

"Are you going to be vulgar, the emperor's new policy has just been implemented, and it has violated the interests of I don't know how many people, and you don't want to see how many people plan to overthrow his rule!" The old father painstakingly persuaded the young son, he was not optimistic about the emperor's situation, and the struggle in Rome was by no means so simple.

"Then let's wait and see if the emperor can survive it!" Betak lit the candles in the church, and watched as a moth burst out of the flames, burned in an instant.

Was the emperor overthrown by the rampaging nobles and had no place to be buried, or was this emperor with a bit of Basil'an temperament forcefully suppressed the rebellion of the nobles, and Rome ushered in a boom! Let me see, Your Majesty the Emperor.

In the dark forests of Bulgaria, a team of masked horsemen walked in the woods, and a fresh breeze was heard in the distance, but even the birds could not be heard in the silence.

"Come out! No one else came along! The Masked Rider spoke, looking at the surrounding greenery, but there was an awkward silence in the forest, as if he had just spoken to the air.

The masked knights did not leave but waited quietly, when suddenly there was a commotion in the forest in the distance, and several equally masked samurai came out.

"It's good that you came as promised, but the great nobles of the imperial capital can't hold it now? Actually want us Bulgarians to come out and fight the emperor in the ring? The masked warrior was none other than Theodor Arsen, one of the Bulgarian nobles, who provoked the Greek nobles with a slight mockery.

"No, the emperor didn't go on a killing spree, although we don't understand the emperor's intentions, but this kid made a big mistake and didn't kill us, what about you Bulgarians, don't you want to be independent?"

The words of the Greeks are more interesting, Bulgaria has been struggling for more than a hundred years after being defeated by Emperor Basil, and the rivers are declining, that is, they, as soon as there is a war in the empire, they will send the Bulgarians to the front line to consume their strength, which can be described as a secret thing of the emperors of the past but everyone knows it.

"Hahaha, don't laugh with our distinguished guests, please don't be angry, let's talk about the next thing together!" Ivan Asen came out to play the round.

The Black Forest is intertwined with a conspiracy of blood and fire, and a large web of spider silk slowly opens, and I don't know who will fall into it and become food......
