Chapter 352: Prologue (6) The Theory of Fighting for Water

At the castle's recent entrance to the "Inner Audience Hall", the Empress of the Empire, Shirley V. Ayavinia, appears accompanied by maids and guards. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, she had already taken off the maid costume used to experience the "folk suffering" activities, and changed into the emperor's formal suit, which was still heavy for her petite body, even if it was specially made, and the same special small crown was also on her head.

However, no matter how grand she dresses, such a stinky little girl can't bring the emperor's unique coercion. The gesture of the small body trying to support a large frame can only be described as "funny".

The middle-aged man who made such an evaluation in his heart was none other than the long-awaited Prime Minister of the Empire, Rossbier von Klesim. Although he disdains the little queen in his heart, he still puts on an amiable smile on the surface, pretending to be a good uncle.

And Empress Shirley, who didn't know the prime minister's true thoughts, couldn't help but show a guilty expression when she came to this man.

"I'm sorry, Rossbill, I've kept you waiting. ”

"Honestly, I am afraid, it is a matter of course for your subordinates to wait for Your Majesty. It is for this reason that Your Majesty is deeply pleased with your remarks. Being able to understand the sufferings of your courtiers will surely make your Majesty grow into a true emperor of the empire in the future. Just like His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"Yes. I can become a great emperor like my father!" Shirley, who was praised, couldn't help but laugh happily, "Rossbill, Qing said it very well!"

"Don't dare to be, your subordinates are just heartfelt words. Then, Your Majesty, let's go. ”

"Hmm!" Shirley nodded, "I can't let the marshal wait any longer!

Speaking imposingly, Empress Shirley stepped out of the castle, followed by Rossbill, followed by a procession of maids and guards.

"That's right, Rossbill. As she walked, Empress Shirley showed a confused expression and called out to the Prime Minister who was walking beside her.

"The minister is here. ”

"I also thought of it today. Why do you have to meet your subjects in the 'inner hearing hall' every time you meet your subjects?

"Back to Your Majesty, this is to maintain the emperor's majesty to his subordinates. ”

"Majestic, however, my father has said to me before, 'Treat your courtiers as if they were friends, and never think that you are nobler than the other party, but be approachable.'" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor actually said such a thing, it's really admirable. However, forgive the minister's gaffe, although this is a correct theory, it is also the fundamental reason why the former emperor became the first emperor. ”

"The reason why the first emperor became the first emperor" is that "the first emperor", the death of Shirley's father. Therefore, Shirley couldn't help but show a sad expression.

"Father, did you die because of not enough majesty?"

"Exactly. Rosebill shook his head with a look of pity and sighed, "If the emperor had exerted enough majesty on his courtiers, his foolish brother would not have had any thoughts of committing crimes in the first place, and he would not have committed such a rebellious act." In this way, the former emperor must not have to die. ”

Hearing this, Empress Shirley's body couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes. It seems that my father is wrong. ”

"Nope. The Emperor was not wrong at all. "It's just that it needs to be done in moderation." That's why His Majesty chose the 'Inner Interview Hall' as the place of reception. If the study is too 'close', His Majesty's majesty will be lost. The 'Audience Hall' is too estranged and will cause distrust between His Majesty and his courtiers. In contrast, the 'Inner Counseling Hall' is just right. ”

"I see. Rossbill, Qing is really a wise man, I really can't compare. ”

His Majesty laughed. Now, it may indeed be that His Majesty is wiser than His Majesty. But this is also because His Majesty is much older than His Majesty. It's not just a matter of time, it's a matter of maturity and immaturity. His Majesty has not yet matured, and therefore cannot solve all kinds of problems properly. However, when His Majesty matures in time, it will be beyond the reach of His Majesty's shallow wisdom. Until then, His Majesty's shortcomings will be made up for with all his might. ”

"But, in this case, wouldn't it be too hard for Qing?"

"It's a bit of hard work. However, even so, I ask Your Majesty to allow your subordinates to bow down and die as hard as they can. This is the atonement of his brother for his brother. It is also because His Majesty has the same ideals as His Majesty the Emperor, that is, to make the empire more prosperous and the people richer. ”

"Is this what I announced today?"

"Yes. ”

"But is this really good? I don't understand this very well, but whether I read a book or listen to the attendants talk about it, I only feel that it is an extremely sad and painful thing. ”

"Exactly. However, there is nothing to be done. ”

"What do you mean by this?"

"Your Majesty, let me assume that a man needs to drink a glass of water to live, and it must be a whole cup, and even one drop less will die if he does not drink it. So, how many glasses of water do you need for twenty?"

"Twenty, of course. ”

"What if there was only one glass of water?"

"Hmm......" Empress Shirley couldn't help but show a look of loss, "only one person will survive." Or, everyone dies together. ”

"It seems that His Majesty is inclined to let everyone live. ”

"Of course. Rossbill, death is the most terrible and tragic thing in the world. ”

This sentence is the most sincere sentence that Queen Shirley has said so far.

"In that case, Your Majesty, what are we going to do to keep these twenty alive? ”

"Hmm. That's all there is to it. ”

"This is exactly what Your Majesty is proposing. ”

Empress Shirley, though naïve, is by no means a fool, and after a little thought, she understands.

"But, if we rob the water over there, won't the people over there die?"

"Absolutely. It's just that there's a difference. That is, it's not an empire over there. Moreover, the need to grab water is the same for everyone. You're dead or alive, that's the way it is now. ”

"Yes. I understand!" said Empress Shirley's gaze, which hardened.

Although she is very sorry for the person who was robbed of the nineteen glasses of water, she has already sworn to protect the country and the people that her father cherished!
