Chapter Seventy-Four: Preparing for War

The bureaucratic system of the Yurasno Empire was constructed from four parties, namely the four ministers, the central government office, the foreign affairs council, and the parliamentary cabinet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The four ministers in charge were the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Finance in charge of tax expenditures, the Minister of Inspectorate in charge of picketing and monitoring the work style of officials, and the Minister of the Treasury, who was in charge of the people's livelihood and agriculture of the Empire.

The Central Government Office is an organization that receives information from various places, submits it to the Cabinet, and waits for the emperor's decision before sending it to each region.

As the name suggests, the Foreign Affairs Yuan was mainly responsible for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Yurasno and served as a messenger for the truce during the war. If there is a foreign envoy in the country, it will also have the full responsibility and operation of this court.

The Cabinet has no real power in Yurasno's political arena, but ironically, their political status is no lower than that of either side. On the contrary, when the Central Government Agency receives any report, it must submit it to the Cabinet as soon as possible. Then, the plan is discussed within the cabinet and then presented to the emperor for selection decision.

――――

The war of words between Encore and Gordo did not make much of a bargain. Seeing this, Melwitz immediately made a round and gave the cousin, who was the Minister of Military Affairs, a step.

"Your Majesty, take the order!" Ang Kefei stepped aside angrily, although he didn't care about it, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Old thing! I have been through the three emperors, and I don't know any etiquette, I really think that I am very capable, right?

"Does the patriarch have a good plan?" Melwiitz didn't bother at all, he just threw the question to the questioner again.

"The old man thinks that there is no one in the northwest except the king of the town who can deter the northwest!" Gordo's words shocked the audience, and everyone present made waves in their hearts because of this sentence.

......

Gordo's age is already eighty-five years old, and although this old man has silver hair, he is the patriarch of the political center of the imperial capital, and he is the head of the cabinet.

This old man is not a shriveled old man. His complexion is full and ruddy, his body is strong and tough, and he looks like a middle-aged man in his fifties. If it weren't for the silver thread on his head, it would be hard to think that he was an eighty-five-year-old man.

Gordo rarely appears in the National Assembly Hall, but his sudden appearance today is already shocking. They all thought that this patriarch was just coming to see, but who knew that his words were like stirring up a thousand waves.

Arinor, who was standing beside the throne, gently swept the tip of his nose with his slender fingers, and looked at Melwitz with a calm expression.

Melwiitz's gaze met that of Arianor, but for a split second, he didn't see the answer he wanted to know.

Gordo smacked the floor with his cane a few times, his expression visibly unhappy with Melwiez's hesitation.

"What's wrong, what the old man said, the king of the town is the number one warrior of my empire, isn't it enough to shock those northwest lords?"

Melwitz really couldn't figure out what Gordo was trying to do, he looked thoughtfully at Arena who didn't spit a word, and then looked back at Gordo.

"The patriarch loves him, just as the patriarch said, this king should sit in the imperial capital so that the country can be peaceful. Melwiitz didn't want to make a stalemate with Gordo, after all, there was a huge political power behind the old man, and it was not something that could be easily suppressed if he wanted to.

"It's better to send the generals under the command of this king, and it will not be difficult to control those northwest lords. ”

The old man admitted that the town king's command was all brave warriors, but in the old man's eyes, they were all martial artists who were not handsome, and letting them go would only be bad. ”

Ang Kefei didn't wait for someone to speak, his rough voice instantly sounded: "The affairs in the army are not familiar with the civil functions of the patriarch, the king of the town will have his own arrangements, and he dare not bother the patriarch here!"

"Minister of Military Affairs, you should pay attention to your speech. The old man has served three generations of emperors, and I am afraid that he knows better than you when marching and fighting. ”

"Not necessarily! Even a three-year-old doll can do it. Encore didn't want to be suppressed by this "old man".

Gordu stared at Ang Kefi, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a clear smirk: "Hehe, the empire has been at war all year round, and there are already only a handful of people who can be handsome. The king of Yaoxiang Town led his army to the northwest to fight against the alien Puluo, and attacked everywhere he went. Looking at the present, the old man can only say that the experience of the new generals is still shallow, and if it is not handled properly, wouldn't it be a misrepresentation of the country and the people?"

Encore was stunned, "This old thing, it seems to be complimenting my brother, but why does it make me sound so weird.....

"Besides, who can minimize the consumption except for the town king? Moreover, if those northwest lords turn into beasts, the town king can also use this to deprive them of their political rights, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Melwiitz's heart trembled involuntarily because of Gordo's last words. Gordo's words hit the heart of Melwiec, he had long had the intention of rectifying the scattered lords, but he never had a chance to let him perfect the matter.

Now, the plan to reduce the lords has made Gordo, a veteran of the three dynasties, propose to export, which means that Gordo has made it clear that he supports the reduction of the lords of Merliwitz.

Melwiitz was somewhat moved, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. The Ramga rebellion has not been pacified for too long, and if it is proposed to reduce the lords at this moment, it may cause chaos again. Furthermore, Melwiec thought that if he really led the army out of the imperial capital again, he was afraid that he would still be in trouble. However, if he did not send troops to resist the attacks of foreign tribes, it would be detrimental to the country, and Meliwitz could not bear the foreign attacks on the border people and chose to sit idly by.

His thoughts were like a flat saloon, a whirlpool of angry seas. Swirling, converging, colliding.

"What the patriarch said is reasonable, this king will not see foreign races attacking the borders of our country. ”

When Gordo heard Melwicz's words, his disgruntled face softened slightly.

"Then, does the old man know when the king of the town plans to send troops to the northwest?"

Melwitz didn't seem to think much about it, and replied directly: "In three days, this king will definitely send troops to the northwest." ”

"The old man will personally go to see off the king of the town when he arrives. Gordo bowed slightly to Meliwitz and prepared to leave the chamber.

Seeing that Gordo was about to leave, Meliwitz stood up and said, "The patriarch is probably misunderstood, and this king does not intend to personally lead the army to defend against the enemy. ”

"You, the king of town, are you playing tricks on the old man!" Gordo clenched his staff, his tone sharp and accompanied by a deep question.

Melwiitz said expressionlessly: "It's just a nomadic tribe, why should this prince himself?"

"Does the King of the Town know what the Imperial Council does!" Gordo pointed with his staff to Melwiz on the throne.

Melwitz snorted coldly, looked at Gordo with his hands behind his back, and replied, "Of course I do. ”

As if he knew that his reaction was a little inappropriate, Gordo put down his cane pointing at Melwiitz and breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you understand, why do you go back on your word?"

"The Council is responsible for the proposal, which is then selected by His Majesty. Now the situation of the empire is also understood in the Yuanlai, and this king is temporarily in charge of military affairs on behalf of His Majesty. This selection naturally fell on the shoulders of this king. ”

Melwiitz paced back and forth on the throne with his hands behind his back, and from time to time a pair of tiger eyes looked at Gordo, who was already flushed.
