Volume 4 The Civil War Chapter 34 The Outside Must Be Settled First
"If you don't have a stable rear, everything is empty talk. Now the grand dukes on the entire domestic border are lacking in skills, and some of the nobles who chose the wrong path are also waiting for your decision in fear, no matter what, the whole country cannot be chaotic now, once the country is chaotic, then external forces are more likely to take advantage of it. ”
Inside the royal study, Tina was sitting behind her desk, and Luna was standing in front of her, on which was a thick report. It is full of lists of those who have thrown themselves into the second prince during the chaotic period, or who have started a rebellion, or who are secretly transferring their property and preparing to flee.
Tina, who had never been an emperor, ascended the throne in a hurry, and it was not until she sat in this chair that she felt so heavy on her body. Luna, who is also highly skilled in force and intelligence, is arranged by Wang Wei to come here to help the new empress. Tina, who had never thought that she would one day sit in this seat since she was a child, now looked blankly at the reports in front of her, which were all found by Lovier.
After the fall of the Second Prince, Luo Weier took advantage of the relationship he was familiar with with the Second Prince to easily take over the intelligence system of the Second Prince. After executing a group of die-hard loyalists in a very horrific way, and promising a series of benefits to those who wavered, Rovel simply obtained a batch of important information from those timid fellows, including the letters of the second prince who collaborated with the enemy, the letters of some nobles, and the place where he secretly hid treasures.
Among them, the most troublesome are the archives of these nobles.
"These people can't stay. ”
Tina looked at the thick list in front of her, and deeply understood the reason why power makes people crazy, as long as she said a word, these nobles must all fall to the ground, and all their property will be confiscated.
But.
"But you can't do it. ”
Luna sighed and sat down in her chair.
"Yes, those are all lives after all. ”
Tina lowered her head.
"You have a lot of point, and I understand what you're thinking. But even if you can do it, I won't agree with you doing it, because if you do, the country will probably be hit more than that. ”
Luna said.
"The iron-blooded policy of terror will stabilize the country for a while, but it will bring profound consequences to the entire national system, which will not manifest itself for a while, but may suddenly erupt in a dozen or even decades. And, now that we think about it, there are actually many more ways. ”
Luna is a good follower.
Luna is the only girl in the Fernando family, and she is also a soul walker, Grand Duke Fernando has always cultivated Luna as an all-rounder, of course, this also has a lot to do with Luna herself being very good, no matter what, the Grand Duke will always ask some Luna first and listen to her opinion. And as the Grand Duke of the town guard, it is naturally not a trivial matter to be able to make Fernando care about things. So, with more of this kind of exercise, Luna's way of thinking about things naturally becomes political.
Tina, on the other hand, is completely different.
She's a genius, she's an absolute political genius, and she's able to notice a lot of details that no one else can notice, but the problem is that her ability to notice details and her ability to use those details are two different things. Maybe it's really like Leia said, Tina is so inferior that she doesn't dare to make her own judgment casually, especially when she knows that her judgment is likely to involve more human lives, she doesn't dare to decide casually.
She has not yet established the basic qualities of a politician.
All Luna has to do now is help her build that quality.
"What else can be done?"
Tina looked at Luna expectantly.
"The best thing to do is to punish them without causing them to react too much, not too lightly, not too severely, and, moreover, to leave room for the future, think about it, if it were your father, what would he do?"
Luna took the black tea that Leia handed over to her and said to the Empress.
"If it's my father?"
Tina was lost in thought.

In the middle of the night, in the imperial city, which had long been under martial law, a horse-drawn carriage drove smoothly on the street, and some soldiers on patrol immediately let it go in panic after inspecting the carriage. The carriage came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and three cloaked men got out of the carriage and entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the simple reception room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Wells squinted at the few people who came here.
Wang Wei, Luna, Hurley.
Wang Wei was launching a fierce attack on the pastries in front of him, and the expensive and superb black tea was like well water in his mouth, which he drank and used to moisten his throat, and then all kinds of fancy pastries were stuffed into his mouth one by one. On his side, Hurley, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to grab it, stuffed all the desserts that were originally just used to decorate the main meal into her mouth at a speed that was almost not below Wang Wei.
Al and Ada watched in amazement as the two ungentlemanly and ladylike creatures took out everything on the table that could fit into their mouths as quickly as a typhoon passed.
'Well, hillbilly. ’
Al and Ada thought so in their minds at the same time.
However, Wang Wei didn't care about those opinions, and after he finished eating, he stretched out his big face to Luna, and Luna immediately took out a handkerchief full of faint floral fragrance and wiped off all the residues of his most stained things.
And when Hurley was about to put her mouth out, she ended up with only a roll of the eye.
"Stingy. ”
Hurley muttered a disgruntled laugh, then carefully took her handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her mouth in a very ladylike manner.
"Well, Lord Kane, these little snacks don't taste good. ”
Wells said to Wang Wei kindly like a harmless old grandfather.
"Of course, Prime Minister, I don't think this thing can be eaten anywhere else, and I think it tastes really good. ”
Wang Wei said unfinished, he directly ignored the sharp eyes that Wisel looked at his two grandsons just now, and said to this hidden old man like a good child.
"So, I'm telling the cook to make some, and I'll take it with you later?"
Wells then said with a smile
"Great! Gotta do more!"
Before Wang Wei could speak, Hurley first shouted happily.
"Don't worry, there's still a lot of flour in the Prime Minister's Mansion, little miss. ”
Wells said to Hurley with a smile.
"I'm sorry to trouble you. ”
Wang Wei said to Wells with an embarrassed face.
"It's okay, I can still do these little things with relative ease. ”
Wells said with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you so much for giving you trouble at such a late hour, but let's talk about a small matter. ”
Wang Wei's face turned pale, and he suddenly looked directly into Wells' eyes and said.
"I have one more small thing here that I need your help with. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Wells replied casually.
"I have been entrusted by Her Majesty the Empress to come here to ask for the help of Her Excellency Wisel, the Prime Minister of the Empire, in the hope that Her Excellency Wells will help Her Majesty the Empress to stabilize the country, eliminate the influence as soon as possible, resolve internal differences, and repel foreign enemies. ”
Wang Wei said.
"There is no need for Her Majesty the Empress to tell me this, although I am now an old bone, but as long as it is for the country, even if I try my life, I will not hesitate, so I also ask Her Excellency Wang Wei to return to Her Majesty the Empress, and say that I should do my best. ”
Wells replied very quickly.
"No, I don't think Your Excellency the Prime Minister understood what I meant. ”
Wang Wei said with a smile.
"Well, I didn't do this kind of thing, but the palace was in chaos, so I just made a cameo when I came. Now I repeat it in my words. ”
"The second prince rebelled, you know, I know, most of the people know, but why the second prince rebelled, you know, I know, but the people don't know. At the beginning, the second prince was able to ascend the throne so smoothly, and there were so many idiot nobles to support him, and your old man contributed a lot to the back, although you did not show up in public, but if you didn't have you behind your back, it is estimated that those guys who looked at you and walked would not dare to run over so happily to support a guy with no background at all to take the throne, after all, if in terms of strength, the eldest prince is the most suitable candidate. ”
"But now that guy was killed by me, and your old man took a back seat, and those idiots who followed you to support the second prince at that time had no backbone, and they didn't dare to run if they wanted to. According to my idea, I will kill them all together and nationalize all the valuable ones, but according to my smart wife, this will not work, so Her Majesty, who is also smart and icy, hopes that you can make some statement casually to stabilize the mood of the guys. I believe that you have been working hard in this circle for so many years, and you will definitely respond to it in terms of appeal. The matter was easily resolved, and I had better hurry up and help my father-in-law. ”
Wang Wei finished all the words in one go, and then looked at the prime minister in front of him, whose eyes were narrowed into a slit.
