Soon, the carriage drove into the imperial capital.

The wide streets were full of people at this time, but most of them had escaped from the fire a year earlier, and because their houses had burned down, they had to set up makeshift tents under the eaves on both sides of the street to live in, and for so long, the Imperial Court had not properly housed them.

It's not that Emperor Feng Ke doesn't want to, but he can't do anything, the imperial treasury has long been empty, and he can't take out so much money to help the victims, and Prime Minister Rongte and Marshal Ron are ignoring it, and it is even more difficult to get money out of their mouths to relieve the disaster than to ascend to the sky, not to mention that Prime Minister Rongte himself has a headache because of the fifteen million gold coins until now, how can there be air traffic to control the lives and deaths of these civilians?

And because the roads are too congested, the Imperial Guard has been struggling to maintain law and order.

Seeing Hua Long's eyes looking out of the car, Count Auno suddenly said: "These victims don't know how to go out of the city, all because of what they are doing in this imperial capital?"

From his words, it is not difficult to hear that the commoners are just some mustard in his eyes, and whether they are dead or alive has nothing to do with them.

"They deserve it!" Hua Yun on the side suddenly said coldly.

Faced with his younger brother's statement that it was not "sympathy" but "deserved", Hua Long couldn't help but feel disgusted, but he still tried to keep calm.

"Can't we help them?"

"Help?" Although it is incomprehensible to say that the great nobles should help the untouchables, but the kind-hearted Hua Long has had this tendency since he was a child, so saying this kind of thing now did not make Count Aor and Hua Yun feel overly surprised, but just solemnly warned Hua Long, "It is a virtue to help others, but as a great nobleman, it is best not to have anything to do with the untouchables, giving and sympathizing with them will only make them inert." ”

In fact, this remark of the Count of Onno is the main reason for the conflict between the commoners and the nobles, who in the eyes of the nobles are just tools for making wealth.

"I know!" Surprisingly, Hua Long didn't refute, but made a serious appearance, after all, he is still nothing, even if he wants to help them, there is nothing he can do!

Soon, the carriage stopped at the intersection not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, because Hua Yun had been invited by Marshal Ron before, so he got off here and parted ways with Hua Long, but surprisingly, at this intersection, Baron Luce was also waiting here.

And when he saw Hua Long for the first time, Baron Luce's whole person was stunned, as for why he was stunned, he didn't know himself. However, Hua Long has a preliminary evaluation of this lean-looking man: a scheming person!

"This is Young Master Hua Long, it's really rude!" Baron Luce bowed to Hua Long very respectfully, and Hua Long nodded politely in return.

"Is there anything wrong?, in such a hurry?" asked Count Auno as soon as he got out of the carriage.

Baron Luce's face was very ugly, and he whispered softly, "Your Excellency Marshal is ready to attack the position of the Northern Governor!"

"What!?" cried out Count Onno.

You must know that since the Northern Governor Audi was beheaded a year ago, the position of the Northern Governor has been undecided, so the power has always been in the hands of Earl Auno, but at this moment, Marshal Ron actually wants to install someone to sit in the position of Northern Governor, what is he going to do?

But then I thought about it, Count Auno was also relieved, after all, in this imperial capital, in addition to the four heavenly guards, there were only two people left, the southern governor and the northern governor, they not only controlled nearly 10,000 guards, but also 100,000 city defenders were also under his command, and it was precisely because of the particularity of their identities that the prime minister and marshal over the years had only used relatively milder means of wooing.

But a few years ago, the Northern Governor Audi suddenly entered the Prime Minister's court, this change made Marshal Ron full of breath for a long time, and now Audi is finally dead, the position of the Northern Governor is vacant, but it has been held by Count Aono, and now Count Auno is about to marry Prime Minister Rongte, which makes Marshal Ron suddenly feel the pressure, although he also recognized Count Auno's second son Huayun as his righteous son, but the identity of the righteous father seems to be lighter than his in-laws, so Marshal Ron has to make two plans, after all, Count Auno's current power is too big, and he has to guard against it。

"Is the news reliable?" asked Count Onno.

"Yes, absolutely reliable, Marquis Kefer is now in contact with the members of the radical faction, and I estimate that they will be in action by tomorrow morning at the latest!"

Seeing Baron Luce's affirmation, Count Auno suddenly let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, the stable situation of the empire is about to be broken, but who will be the new northern governor of the empire? Marshal Ron will definitely install radical people, but Prime Minister Rongte will not let him succeed easily, what will the young emperor decide?

There was a moment of silence.

"What does the Queen Mother mean?" Count Ionno knew very well that Baron Luce must have told his master about this.

"The Empress Dowager wants you to maneuver through this, and she wants you to keep the power of the Northern Governor, but if it really doesn't work, see if you can arrange a reliable neutral faction to come to power. ”

"Neutral?" As soon as he thought of those neutral nobles who were pretentious and high-minded on weekdays, and fell with the wind at critical moments, Count Auno suddenly had a headache, "I want to find a way!"

Although it was the intention of the Queen Mother, the Earl of Auno still found it difficult, after all, their neutral faction was not as united as the conservative faction of Prime Minister Rongte and the radical faction of Marshal Ron, they were all pedantic old fellows.

Of course, Baron Luce also understood the pressure that Count Onno was facing.

"By the way, what is Marshal Ron's reason for installing someone in the position of Northern Governor?" asked Earl Auno.

"It should be a long-pending suspense, affecting the stability of the imperial capital!" Baron Luce thought for a moment, and then said, after all, this is the most logical reason.

Earl Aono nodded suddenly, and when he heard this, he also roughly understood, that is, Marshal Ron wanted to install someone as the Northern Governor It was obviously premeditated, he was just waiting for an opportunity, after all, those victims in the imperial capital are becoming more and more restless, now that I think about it, the fire came really suddenly, could it be that Marshal Ron let it go!

Standing in front of the carriage, Count Onno felt very helpless, although he was in a high position, but some things were really powerless, if he had a choice, he hoped to get out of the struggle between Prime Minister Rongte and Marshal Ron now, but, after all, this is impossible, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, at this time, Count Onno has a deep understanding!
