Chapter 106: The First Pilgrimage Meeting in My Life
The next morning, around five o'clock, Luo Lin was called up by the maids, freshened up, dressed up, and had a simple but delicious breakfast, and was surrounded by a group of emperor's honor guards to the council hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, Luo Lin was a little uncomfortable at the beginning, but when he thought that he was also an emperor now, he couldn't lose his style, so he let those people swing himself. Not to mention, after being happy, Luo Lin still enjoyed the feeling of being served, and sure enough, he responded to the old saying of his ancestors, from thrift to luxury.
In the council hall, all the officials have arrived, and the civil officials are standing on the left, and the military attaches are standing on the right.
At the front of the military attache team, there is a strong man in armor, he is the great general of the empire, Bude, and the armor on his body is his imperial tool [Thor Fury], the ability is to control thunder and lightning, among all the imperial tools, it can be regarded as a very powerful one.
And the front of the civil service line was empty, because the person who was supposed to be standing there was standing on the edge of the throne at the moment, and this position alone was enough to show that this person had a special status. Yes, he is the Imperial Chancellor Earnest, the de facto ruler of the Empire.
A few minutes later, Rollin appeared, surrounded by the emperor's honor guard and walked to the throne, after Rollin took his seat, all the officials saluted, and after Rollin received the salute, let the officials be flattened. In this way, the routine etiquette process of the court meeting has come to an end.
Although Luo Lin has not learned the emperor's etiquette very systematically, imitating the performance of the emperor in the court drama, Luo Lin also looks presentable. What's more, Luo Lin's predecessor is not a person who pays much attention to etiquette, so even if he finds a little bit, no official will point it out, after all, everyone is used to it.
There was only one person who noticed the difference in Rollin, and that was Ornest, who was always watching the Emperor, and he knew exactly how many pieces of meat the Emperor had eaten last night. However, he would never have imagined that the emperor at this moment had been replaced by Luo Lin, after all, this was a world consciousness shot, unless it was a strong person whose strength had surpassed this world, he would never see any flaws.
"Okay, what's the matter, hurry up, I'm very sleepy, and I want to finish early and go back to sleep."
Luo Lin deliberately sat lazily on the throne, saying irresponsible words, which really did not have the majesty of the emperor at all.
If Luo Lin is now in the ancient period of China, even if he is the emperor, he will definitely be involved in a few books by those officials. But in the eyes of the minister Ornest, such an emperor is what he wants, because it shows that the emperor is not a threat to him, and he even wishes that the emperor will continue like this.
"It seems that I was too worried before, and I was shocked by eating a piece of meat."
"Hmph, dead fat man, you will suffer in the future."
Since Luo Lin has long regarded the minister as his big bottom, as soon as he entered the council hall, he turned on the [telepathy] ability, and the voices of everyone present could not hide from him, not to mention the minister who was taken care of by Luo Lin from the beginning.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to tell you."
A civil servant walked out of the crowd and knelt in front of Rollin.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly."
Luo Lin said a little impatiently, and at the same time glanced at the minister next to him covertly, even if he didn't use [telepathy] Luo Lin knew that this civil official was the minister's person.
"Your Majesty, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has failed in his duties, resulting in a shortage of national finances, and even the military salaries of General Estes, who are fighting against the alien nations in the north, cannot be paid."
"Your Majesty, please don't listen to the villain's slander, the salary of General Estes's troops was paid in full three days ago. Yesterday, however, the minister doubled his salary without authorization, and it is difficult for the treasury to make up so much money in a short period of time. ”
A gray-haired official hurriedly stood up and explained that he was the finance minister of the empire, and he was also an old man who had followed the previous emperor, and he was one of the few main figures of the conscience faction in the court.
Although he didn't understand the whole thing as a whole, Luo Lin also guessed what was going on, and this was a play directed by the minister in order to eliminate dissidents.
However, now the minister's strength is much higher than his own, so even if Luo Lin guesses the truth, he must follow the minister's wishes and accompany him to act.
"Hmph, our empire is vast and rich, how can we not even pay a little military salary! You must have embezzled money from the treasury and put it in your own pocket. ”
The minister said in a weird manner, and the oily mouth opened and closed, exuding a strange smell of meat, which made Luo Lin frown. However, in the end, it was an old fritter who was in the officialdom, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave the Minister of Finance a big crime that was enough to quarrel and exterminate the clan.
"You don't want to spew blood, where the money in the treasury goes, others don't know, don't you know?"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked at Earnest viciously, on weekdays, this guy used various reasons to transfer the property in the treasury, and he was able to keep the property of the army salary of more than 100,000 troops at a time. It's good now, the thief shouts to catch the thief, and hits a rake, where is the truth?
"Hmph, the facts are in front of you, how can you speak. Whoever comes, take down the minister of wealth, and immediately behead him, and all his family property will be confiscated, and all the people in the family, all the men, will be killed, and the women will be reduced to slaves. ”
Ernest directly crossed over the emperor Rollin and convicted him directly, but he really didn't take the emperor in his eyes at all.
This situation has also been frequent in the past few years, so those guards subconsciously obeyed Ornest's orders, and planned to push out and behead the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
If it was still the previous emperor, it might have been allowed to do this, but who called the current emperor Rollin, how could he let Ornest further encroach on the talents that he could use.
"Wait a minute."
Rollin stood up, looked directly at Earnest and said, "Please also tell me the minister here, whether you are the emperor or I am the emperor." ”
"Why did Your Majesty say this, of course you are the emperor."
Earnest was furious, after all, this was the first time the emperor had rebelled against him, which made him feel like he was out of control, and this feeling made him dislike it. It's just that in front of everyone's eyes, he can't do anything, so he has to pretend to be respectful.
"Since I am the emperor, I have not convicted the Minister of Finance, so what right do you have to arrest people?"
Luo Lin glanced at Earnest coldly, turned to release his momentum, and shouted angrily at the two guards: "Don't let me go yet!" ”
Intimidated by Rollin's momentum, the two guards couldn't help but let go, and subconsciously looked at Earnest, after receiving instructions not to let go, the two guards were relieved, and continued to hold the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the rest was up to Earnest to help them.
Suddenly, Luo Lin felt very sad that he was an emperor and could not even command two guards. Looking at Earnest's smug expression, the anger in Rollin's heart finally couldn't be suppressed, what was false as a snake, what was low-key development, he couldn't care about it now.
"General Bud, what should we do with those who disobey my orders?"
Luo Lin was gloomy, he figured it out now, he didn't need to be so afraid of Earnest at all, now the momentum of the revolutionary army is getting bigger and bigger, as long as Earnest also uses the Supreme Emperor as his hole card, then he will definitely not really treat himself. In that case, why not just make a big fuss.
Moreover, Rollin is also a temptation for Ornest, if he can't bear it and does something that violates his identity, then Rollin can kill him justifiably, so that even if Earnest's men want to make trouble, they don't dare to come openly, after all, they can't stand.
"Back to Your Majesty, kill!"
Hearing Rollin's inquiry, General Bude had a glint in his eyes and said without hesitation. And when the word "kill" came out, he had already set off and killed the two guards on the spot with lightning speed.
"Good, but I don't want another one."
"It's Your Majesty, when I go back, I will definitely strengthen the management of the palace guards and ensure that there will be no next time."
A flash of sharpness flashed in General Bude's eyes, now that the guards in charge of guarding the palace are mixed, it is time to put things in order.
There was silence in the council hall, and in the eyes of all the officials, this was the first time that the emperor had brazenly rebelled against a minister. A small number of conscientious officials couldn't help but light up, and even a few who couldn't control their emotions had already begun to shed tears of excitement, because they finally waited for the day when the emperor grew up, and they were no longer willing to be controlled by Ornest.
The officials who belonged to Onest's side were a little apprehensive and turned their attention to Onest, hoping that he would make a position clear, whether to compromise or resist.
At this time, Onecit was not in the mood to eat meat, and he suddenly realized that the chicks, who had been held in the palm of his hand before, finally had hardened wings and wanted to fly by himself. Although Earnest didn't expect such a day, he definitely didn't expect it to come so soon.
Earnest wanted to go crazy in his heart, and let this emperor who dared to resist him know that the power he held in his hands was not something that a puppet emperor could fight. It's just that Earnest finally held back, because he found that General Bud was already paying attention to himself, as long as he made any changes, the only two powerhouses of the empire who were loyal to the emperor would definitely kill him instantly.
Thinking of this, Earnest hurriedly pretended to be frightened, knelt down in front of Luo Lin and said, "What Your Majesty said is that it was the ministers who trespassed. Please also ask Your Majesty to spare the minister this time for the sake of the minister's daily contributions. ”
"Please be gracious to Your Majesty."
As soon as Earnest finished speaking, eighty percent of the officials in the council hall stood up to clarify it for him, which shows that his power in the court is really strong and terrifying.
"The minister has worked hard, so forget it this time."
Luo Linan endured the anger in his heart, and pretended to be bland and said: "But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped." Now that the treasury is scarce, let's take eighty percent of your wealth from the minister to replenish the treasury. And ladies and gentlemen, if you are willing to give generously, I am also grateful. You are responsible for this fundraising, the Minister of Finance, and it can be regarded as a meritorious service. General Budd, you can help. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The Chancellor of the Exchequer and General Bud glanced at each other, and at the same time listened, they could see that the Emperor had really made up his mind to attack Earnest and his family this time.
