Reich House of Representatives.

Last night's heavy rain washed away the magnificent building, and the façade was even whiter in the rising sun.

Today is the day when the House of Representatives meets once a month, and although the democratic practice of voting has been implemented, many nobles know very well in their hearts that the so-called voting is nothing more than a show between factions.

At this time, although it was not yet time for the meeting to begin, the hall outside the conference room was already full of people, and of course, there were always whispers and uneasy rumors where people were present, and this place where the powerful gathered was no exception.

"Did you hear that the prime minister sold his estate. ”

"Is he crazy? Or is there something wrong with his brain?"

"Who knows, it's none of our business anyway. ”

At this moment, a commander walked over and joined the group of nobles in the conversation.

"It's okay, why doesn't it matter!" the commander looked around, his demeanor cautious, "He's doing this to make us donate money to the empire like him, maybe ruining the family." ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to donate money, the nerves of the nobles suddenly tensed.

In fact, it is true that in that era, the nobles who had enjoyed peace for more than ten years had long forgotten the taste of war, and they only knew how to accumulate money and squander their lives, and they did not care at all about the so-called gratuitous donations.

"Is it necessary to buy those armaments?" a nobleman suddenly questioned himself.

"That is, we signed a fifty-year peace agreement with the Agni Empire, and we don't fight anyway, what are we going to do with those armaments?"

"I don't want to donate!"

"Me too!"

“......”

Someone took the lead, and the voices of doubt and opposition immediately stirred up like boiling water.

A corner of the hall.

The commander just now walked past Marshal Ron casually, but there was a smile on Ron's face, it seemed that his incitement tactics had begun to bear fruit, and the nobles' strong opposition to the donation had emerged.

"This is probably the last time this old man will attend a House meeting. With his hands behind his back, Ron turned and walked towards the chamber, "I'm looking forward to it, Nicholas Junt......!

......

About a stick of incense later.

Hua Long and his staff Tarex appeared at the entrance of the hall, and some conservative nobles immediately surrounded them, among them stammering and patting horses, and this chaotic scene lasted until Hua Long's father, Count Auno, came over.

"Father. Hua Long immediately saluted.

For Hua Long's humility, Count Ao Nuo nodded his satisfaction, although it is father and son, but etiquette is still very important.

"Take it. Ao Nuo took out a stack of bills from his pocket and put it in his son's hand, "This is the pocket money that your mother asked me to give to your daughter-in-law, by the way, today is ......"

Although it was very rude, Hua Long still interrupted him, "Mother's birthday, I remember." Hua Long reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "I've prepared a gift." ”

For the birthday of this stepmother, who has never been "friendly" to him, to be honest, Hua Long doesn't want to go at all, but in order to maintain the apparent harmony, he still has to go hard, after all, she is a little relaxed about her vigilance during this time, and she is still good to Xueya, and she will stuff her with some pocket money from time to time.

And Hua Long's words made Count Aonno also very pleased, "You and Xueya came early for the family banquet in the evening, by the way......" He seemed to remember something, so he said: "Your brother's fiancée, that is, the daughter of Duke Wenke, Bezina, is also coming, hehe......"

At the mention of Bezina, the father seemed excited, and it is no wonder that she is already recognized as the number one beauty of the empire.

Is it snowing? Hua Long's mind immediately appeared with her graceful figure, but a faint loneliness and sadness came like a shadow.

"I see. ”

"Dragon. Count Ionno's expression suddenly became serious, "You take this and give it to Prime Minister Rongte in a moment." He was very careful and fast, and when others were not looking, he had already put a small package in Hua Long's pocket.

"Father, this ......"

"Inside is the Imperial Bank promissory note of 10 million, you tell the prime minister, I donated the money, and the voting will be ...... in a while"

The father looked embarrassed.

Hua Long suddenly realized that his father seemed to have been coerced, or that something had touched his nerves and prevented him from voting and donating to the empire openly, but what could make his father so afraid?

At this time, the prime minister and his nephew Kefer walked into the hall, and the Earl of Auno, who was standing beside Hua Long, hurriedly turned and left, and this move was not only him, but many conservative nobles also retreated to the side as if hiding from the plague god.

Prime Minister Ronte immediately realized that something was wrong.

How's that? Did something happen? He looked around the hall on crutches, and he noticed that the people who were anxious to think about it in the evening were now standing far away, and even their eyes looked very obscene.

"Uncle ......"

"Don't panic, let's see what's going on first. ”

Prime Minister Rongte suddenly coughed softly, as if signaling his existence to everyone, and soon, the backbone nobles of the conservative faction immediately gathered around him.

"What's going on?" asked Prime Minister Ronte.

"Prime Minister, the nobles don't want to donate, so ......"

"Donate?" Prime Minister Rond's expression changed suddenly, and he had not yet announced the matter of asking the nobles to donate, because he had prepared an impassioned speech, and planned to announce it at the meeting of the House of Representatives, but now, ......

Someone is sabotaging their plans!

Prime Minister Ronte didn't even have to think about it to know who it was, because there was only one person who had the ability to ruin his plans, and that was Ron!

"Damn old thing!" Prime Minister Rong Te suddenly cursed in his heart, but he still had a calm face: "I have already contacted the three major consortiums of the empire, as long as they stand up, other nobles will also fall with the wind, it doesn't matter!"

Just, does it really matter?

At this moment, Prime Minister Rongte exerted his amazing ability to reconcile, he briefly said a few words to the surrounding nobles, and soon, they all nodded with satisfaction and expressed their willingness to donate.

"Kefer, you go and contact Duke Vink and Duke Otto, and I want to finalize it. ”

"Knowing my uncle, I'll go. ”

Looking at the back of his nephew leaving in a hurry, Prime Minister Rong Te frowned, "I hope there won't be any big changes." ”

At this moment, in the hall, the two attendants slowly pushed open the white cedar door inlaid with gold and precious stones, and a man in a red master of ceremonies immediately walked out and shouted: "Enter!!"

......

Half an hour later......

Nearly a thousand seats were filled in the circular conference hall, and the nobles did not chatter as usual, and today, they seemed quiet.

The confrontation began with the confrontation between the eyes of the prime minister and the marshal, and the silent warning gradually heated up with the exchange of sight.

"Doesn't seem like a good place for you? Ron......

"Oh, is that so?" Ron raised his eyebrows, "but I don't think you're the one who shouldn't be here!"

"Humph!"

"I heard that you sold your estate?" Ron sat there quietly, clasping his hands and smiling confidently, "Quite determined!" He was thinking more deeply than Prime Minister Rongte at the moment, not only because of the last incident, but more importantly, he was completely in control of the Prime Minister's intentions and movements.

Don't you want to use the donations of the nobles to complete the accumulation of capital? I won't let you succeed! Thinking of this, Ron felt more confident in his heart.

"What do I sell to you?"

Damn old viper!Chancellor Ront was a little weak-hearted, one of the few times he and Ron had fought for half a century. He must calm down, if his momentum falls, then he will lose everything today! The foundation of the Nicholas family will also be destroyed in his hands!

The prime minister and the marshal were fighting, and the Northern Governor Hualong, who was sitting next to him, also felt the provocative gaze from the new Southern Governor Krazer beside the marshal.

In fact, it is no wonder that Kratzer will do this, since he took over the authority of the Southern Governor, because of Hualong's proper management and good policies, the people's livelihood in the area under his jurisdiction has prospered, but in this way, the people and businessmen with some backgrounds in his Southern Governor's jurisdiction have run to Hualong's side, and for a time the outer city is prosperous and ruined, and all the alleys are empty, so that the Southern Governor's tax deficit is so that His Majesty criticized him by name during the morning meeting a few days ago, which made Kratzer hate Hualong to the core.

He was really a boring guy, Hua Long didn't pay attention to him, but quickly looked around the entire conference hall with his eyes, although the nobles didn't speak, but judging from the atmosphere, today's battle was definitely no less than the previous morning meeting.

It's hard to say right now, but Ron should have the upper hand a bit.

While Hua Long was considering the issue, the speaker of today's House of Representatives stepped onto the podium.

His name is Kent Edward, he is a retired marshal of the empire who is nearly ninety years old, he has a face that is older than the prime minister, but he also has a more imposing general style than Ron, and his legend will not be introduced here, the only thing worth mentioning is his two grandsons: the two presidents of the Cold Moon Empire - the Commander of the Stars and the Commander of the Moon.

Coughing lightly, Kent put on reading glasses, and the long opening speech of "...... Today" was particularly powerful in the mouths of the soldiers, and the sense of speed and charisma were first-class, which made Hua Long, who was tired of clichés, feel comfortable.

Soldiers are just different!

"Next...... Kent opened today's topic, and said after scanning the document: "The agenda will not be announced for the time being, and the Prime Minister of the Cold Moon Empire will be invited to come to power first." ”

Taking a deep breath, Prime Minister Rongte calmed down the uneasiness in his heart, and then stood up, but at this moment......

"Wait a minute!"

......
