"Who is going to tell me, this ...... What the hell is going on?"

His Majesty the Emperor Candela's face was calm, and his tone was even more steady, and he didn't seem to be any different from his normal state.

However, it was this kind of normality that plunged the entire hall into a super low atmosphere.

Several loyal ministers of the Candela Empire standing in the main hall often get along with His Majesty the Emperor, and of course they knew that this Venerable Emperor His Majesty behaved so normally at such a time, which proved that he must have been extremely angry in his heart at this time.

The important ministers all lowered their heads, not daring to make any movements, and even the sound of breathing was extremely low, for fear of attracting the attention of His Majesty the Emperor.

However, just because they don't speak doesn't mean they can really escape from the past.

His Majesty the Emperor Candela's gaze swept over the important ministers with their heads bowed, and he snorted coldly and looked at the current prime minister of the Candela Empire, Grand Duke Rostov, who was closest to him.

"Rostov-on-Don, tell me, why do those bastards in the northeastern provinces have the audacity to fire at a mine located in the territory of the empire?

A hint of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the Grand Duke of Rostov.

The point of this incident is that the target of the Northeast Provincial Garrison is not an ordinary mine, but a mine under the name of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Now His Majesty the Emperor has deliberately ignored this point, and even installed a most popular person in the garrison of the Northeast Province with the intention of rebellion, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor also has scruples in his heart.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will never admit it, and it is naturally impossible for him, the prime minister, to find out His Majesty's mind in public.

After thinking about it, the Grand Duke of Rostov responded: "Your Majesty. I don't think Duke Tim has the guts that much. This should be the result of the discretion of the subordinates in the northeastern provinces. ”

"Judge for yourself?" His Majesty the Emperor Candela raised his voice sharply. "Who gave them the right to judge for themselves? This is clearly a rebellion!"

Since His Majesty the Emperor has twice in a row, he has emphasized that the Northeast Province garrison that attacked the magic crystal mine of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce intends to rebel. Then the loyal ministers below still didn't understand the thoughts in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor, and hurriedly responded.

"That's right, Your Majesty, these soldiers must have already planned something wrong by directly attacking the mines in the empire without an order. The good thing is that they are already working with the new ...... They were all killed in the crossfire, but it saved the empire from wasting effort to exterminate them. ”

The Grand Duke of Rostov glanced at the speaker of the Imperial Assembly, Duke Infinard, and sneered in his heart.

Duke Infinard and Duke Tim, the Governor of the Northeast Province, have a close personal relationship, and of course will try his best to help Duke Tim get out of this matter.

However, His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that he did not want to make a big deal about it, and the Grand Duke of Rostov also knew that it was better to make this matter smaller. It's better to settle things as soon as possible.

Although the empire has been in constant conflict with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce during this time, and His Majesty the Emperor has expressed his impatience with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce many times, the empire is far from the time to completely break with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

If the relationship between the two sides is seriously damaged or even broken down because of this incident, the loss of the empire may be unbearable.

His Majesty the Emperor obviously knew this very well in his heart, so he would directly define the group of soldiers who attacked the magic crystal mine of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce as a rebellion.

"Ahem, Speaker Infinard is right. As an Imperial soldier, he dared to launch an attack without an order, regardless of the cause. are already equated with rebellion. I hope that Your Majesty will give an order as soon as possible and order the Northeast Province to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter. An explanation to the people of the Northeast Province. ”

His Majesty the Emperor Candela looked at the Grand Duke of Rostov-on-Don with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

When the Grand Duke of Galbut left office, he recommended the Grand Duke of Rostov to take over the post of prime minister, and in the past few years, he has been very close to his heart, except for his slightly inferior ability, he is a very reassuring candidate for prime minister.

Since His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister, and the Speaker of the Speaker expressed their views at the same time, and none of them disagreed, then this incident has been characterized, and even if others have any thoughts in their hearts, they can only hold it in their hearts.

Just as everyone quickly agreed on the handling of the matter, an attendant hurriedly walked in.

"Your Majesty, Duke Tim has been connected. ”

His Majesty the Emperor Candela and the Grand Duke of Rostov exchanged a glance, then nodded to the chamberlain.

"Got here. ”

The chamberlain hurriedly retreated.

After a while, on the table in front of His Majesty the Emperor, a reddish light representing communication access lit up.

His Majesty the Emperor Candela pressed the communication button, and a light curtain appeared on the right side of the hall, and Duke Tim's magical illusion appeared in the light curtain.

"Your Majesty. Duke Tim, for his part, apparently saw the situation here, and first saluted His Majesty the Emperor Candela, and then nodded to the other loyal ministers.

Looking at the vivid image of Duke Tim, and seeing the background of a mine behind him, His Majesty the Emperor Candela sighed in his heart.

Being able to allow him to have a direct conversation with Duke Tim, who is more than 2,000 kilometers away from here at the moment, and even see Duke Tim's real image, is a convenience brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Before, he just wanted to get a report from Duke Tim, and it would be a week at the earliest.

Now that he has enjoyed the convenience created by the new magic technology brought by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, even His Majesty the Emperor Candela is reluctant to return to the backward life of the past, let alone the other people in the empire.

Thinking that there were several newspapers in the empire that were actually shouting to expel the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce some time ago, His Majesty Emperor Candela couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

If only it were that simple.

Completely expelling the New Flying Chamber of Commerce from the Candela Empire is easy to say, but it is almost impossible to actually do it.

The various industries of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have long been deeply rooted in the lives of all the people of the empire, from all walks of life in the entire empire to the daily lives of ordinary civilians, all of which have varying degrees of connection with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Even if he, His Majesty the Emperor, is dissatisfied because he has to take into account the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in almost everything he does, and if he wants to target the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, he needs to be cautious and cautious, how can he casually shout to expel the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?

Thinking of this, His Majesty the Emperor Candela looked at Duke Tim with more helplessness, and only a small part of it was deliberately revealing anger.

"Tim, is there a result?"

As soon as this incident in the Northeast Province occurred, the Northeast Province reported it layer by layer, and finally let the top level of the empire know about it in just two days.

On the day of the incident, Duke Tim, who was the governor of the Northeast Province, set out for the site of the incident, the Baimeng Mine in the northwest corner of the Northeast Province.

It was now the second day of the incident, and the mine that Duke Tim was revealing behind him was obviously the Baimeng Mine.

"Your Majesty, according to my preliminary understanding, the cause of this incident should be a new ......"

"Duke Tim, isn't it true that the soldiers are intent on rebellion and maliciously attacking the Baimeng Mine?" Duke Infinard quickly interrupted Duke Tim.

Duke Tim was slightly stunned, then reacted quickly, his eyes turned, he was silent for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Indeed, as the speaker said, according to the situation reported below, it was some soldiers who gathered to make trouble because they were dissatisfied with the treatment in the army. I also heard that the Baimeng Mine was owned by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and I thought that there must be a lot of goods hidden here, so I decided to come here to rob it. As for whether there is a will to rebel...... I don't dare to confirm. ”

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor and these important ministers of the empire can define that group of soldiers as a rebellion at will, but as the governor of the Northeast Province, if the soldiers below have the intention of rebellion, he will not be able to escape from it anyway, so Duke Tim must first make a prevarication for himself.

His Majesty the Emperor Candela frowned and glanced at Duke Infinard, a little dissatisfied with the fact that the Speaker of the Imperial Council had such a close relationship with the governors of the provinces below.

But now was not the time to think about it, and he thought for a moment, and asked Duke Tim, "What about the loss of the White Mine, and how did they react to it?"

"What about the damage in the mines...... At present, 16 workers have been killed, 37 workers have been seriously injured, and the remaining 100 workers have been slightly injured. The loss of goods is ......"

"What about the loss of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's convoy?" His Majesty the Emperor Candela had prepared Duke Tim's words.

Hearing this question, the other important ministers of the Candela Empire in the hall were all shocked, and their attention became more concentrated, staring at Duke Tim in the magical illusion.

"The New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort is ......" Duke Tim paused, a look of weirdness and bitterness on his face. "Only two of the guards were slightly wounded, nothing else was lost. ”

"Oh......"

Hearing this answer, everyone in the hall exhaled in unison, and the expressions on their faces became much more relaxed.

No matter how many of the workers in the mine die, it is not a problem in the eyes of these big people, they should be just ordinary civilians, and they can't make any trouble.

But the New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort stationed in the mine, that's a different story entirely.

First, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce escort team is a regular employee of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and unlike ordinary workers who are only temporarily hired to work in the mines, they do not have a strict subordinate relationship with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

So even if the workers suffered heavy losses, they didn't have much to do with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

However, if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's escort team loses too much, or even has guards killed, then the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will never give up.

Second, the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce represents the armed forces of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which is different from the ordinary employees of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

Fighting with the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and even killing the escort of the escort team of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it can be equated with a formal declaration of war on the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and the meaning is completely different.

You must know that the objects of the war with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before have all paid a painful price without exception.

Among them, the most wounded was the Candela Empire twelve years ago.

However, after the relaxation, His Majesty the Emperor Candela and the important ministers all felt a sense of humiliation in their hearts.

Since when did the great Candela Empire become so worried about the loss of a chamber of commerce? )
