Chapter 280: Blank Space

"Smack!"

"Smack, smack!"

The sound of the furnishings slamming against the wall became one, and outside the office, a cadre of military officials looked at each other, even cautious about breathing.

"What does he want to do? How dare he do that!"

The anger in the voice of the Minister of War could hardly be suppressed, but he finally remembered that this was the Military Department and not his own home, and his voice was still very low.

But the bruised tendons between his necks and bloodshot eyes told the person in front of him, the leader of the imperial capital nobles, that he was on the verge of getting out of control.

Therefore, no one answered the words of the Minister of War, and no one dared to speak at this time to anger the Minister of War, who was on the verge of an outbreak.

In the end, the Minister of War threw himself on the chair a little dejectedly, and said tiredly and calmly:

"What can we do?"

A person in charge of the aristocratic department said stubbornly:

"My lord, most of the new list is from the bloodline that has directly served Her Majesty, if your lord can make the people in the aristocratic judgment meeting not affected by Her Majesty, then we still have a chance to win!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at this person in charge with idiot eyes, in the Poseidon Empire, to isolate the influence of Her Majesty the Empress? What are you kidding!

The Minister of War raised his eyes sharply and looked at the person in charge:

"Although our strength is strong, and our friends are still loyal, this is not a reason to convince others to confront Her Majesty, who is the bloodline of the Divine Seagod and the undoubted owner of the Seagod Empire!

The person in charge shrank his whole body by the gaze of the Minister of War, but he still stubbornly said:

"Yes, Her Majesty's authority is a fact that everyone knows, but if you share some things, I think the situation will be different, after all, the divine sea god cannot give eternal life to his people!"

The Minister of War's eyes narrowed a slit, he always thought that the person in front of him was his most loyal friend and subordinate, but he didn't expect that at this time, this person represented the interests of another group of people and stood in front of him.

"How many people do you represent?" said the Minister of War's voice, cold without a hint of warmth.

The important person in charge of the aristocratic department swallowed a mouthful of saliva and bowed slightly, indicating that he was not aggressive.

"My lord, I am just representing the poor people in the noble circle of the imperial capital, who have been ignored by you and other adults. ”

After saying this, the person in charge's confidence seemed to harden a lot, and he raised his eyes and said to the Minister of War:

"My lord, we will always safeguard the interests of the nobles of the imperial capital headed by you, but the premise is that when you eat meat, you must always leave some soup and water for us poor people, so that we can wave your flag and shout for you, and even charge into battle!"

The Minister of War understood, and the matter of the Statue of Light leaked out.

This made the Minister of War suppress his anger vividly, and he pulled a smile on his face.

"My dearest friend, please tell our mutual friends that I will always defend the interests of all the nobles of the imperial capital, please rest assured that there will be a grand dinner in my mansion tonight, and I very much welcome all friends who identify with me as a friend to come and attend, in fact, this banquet has been prepared for a long time, I have just been looking for a suitable opportunity, after all, you know, the recent imperial capital is very chaotic!"

The person in charge of the aristocratic department also laughed, bowed deeply and said:

"Thank you, my lord, for your generosity, I think that at the aristocratic ruling meeting, this list will definitely not be passed, even Her Majesty the Empress will not ignore the joint opposition of more than ninety percent of the nobles in the imperial capital, after all, the collateral bloodline inherits the title, this kind of thing is simply too exaggerated, this is not in the interests of everyone!"

The Minister of War also laughed, and raised his eyebrows with laughter, and said with fake concern:

"Are you sure, my friend, that our friends will disobey Her Majesty's will for our benefit?"

When the person in charge heard this, he smiled reluctantly, and then said:

"The Ministry of Nobles is the Ministry of Nobles of the Imperial Capital, and it is the highest authority of the Seagod Empire to adjudicate all aristocratic disputes, we have no intention of confronting Her Majesty the Empress, but this authority should not be shaken by anyone!"

Obviously, the person in charge is also weak in his heart, if it weren't for the Imperial Capital Noble Department, which is the only last position for the small and medium-sized nobles in the Imperial Capital to hold substantive power, they would not have risked doing so.

The Minister of War nodded knowingly, and said approvingly:

"My friend, you are right, Her Majesty's authority lies in the fact that she can veto everything, but proposing this kind of power, of course, should be in the hands of the Ministry of Nobles, let it go, I and all my friends are your most loyal dependents!"

In the office of the Minister of War, the rest of the people looked at each other as their boss and the person in charge of the Ministry of Nobles exchanged related interests, and they all silently prayed for the head of the Ministry of Nobles, hoping that His Majesty's sword would not cut off his head.

The Earl of Hughes, after only one day had passed, visited His Majesty Platinum again.

"Your Majesty, the nobles of the imperial capital have united, including my friend in the noble department, although he reported the proposal according to his promise, but then for some reason, he clearly told me that he would not support this proposal at the aristocratic judgment meeting!"

Zhou Mo's expression did not change in the slightest.

"Oh, I heard that the Minister of War held a grand dinner last night, and more than ninety percent of the nobles in the imperial capital attended!"

Without moving, Zhou Mo told Ms. Hughes the reason.

Earl Hughes's face turned pale, and his already white face was bloodless at this time.

"I didn't get an invitation!"

Earl Hughes, who had raised several faces, looked at Zhou Mo pitifully, although I have to say that he was very attractive, but Zhou Mo had no appetite for this kind of strong woman.

"Of course I won't invite you, your friend betrayed you and got the invitation to that dinner!"

Earl Hughes's eyes lit up with anger.

"Your Majesty, I think you will help me to let those who have betrayed their friends know the consequences of doing so!"

Zhou Mo nodded as a matter of course, and beyond Earl Hughes's expectations, he said:

"Of course, neither Her Majesty nor I like betrayal, especially betrayal by our own friends!"

"Then, at the aristocratic adjudication meeting, if the nobles of the imperial capital collectively oppose it, Your Majesty, your friends, I am afraid that you will not get enough support!"

Zhou Mo smiled and said:

"Don't worry about this, after all, as the lord of the Principality of Platinum, the first nobleman in the world, I am also qualified to attend the aristocratic adjudication meeting, and Her Majesty the Empress will ask me to represent her and act as the veto of the Lord of the Empire!"

"This is a war that will not be lost, and it will definitely not be us who will drag it out and compromise!"

"And the aristocratic group, most of them are smart people, when the time comes, they will know how to choose!"

Count Hughes left Zhou Mo's residence satisfied, and then Zhou Mo went to see Ruiwen.

"Your Majesty, your plan has worked!"

"On the one hand, playing tricks on the statue of the god of light aroused the delusions of all the nobles. ”

"On the one hand, he intervened in the aristocratic department, so that those small and medium-sized nobles who were originally out of the way automatically entered the chess game. ”

"In this way, the Statue of Light gave them the courage to fight against the royal family, and the pressure from the Ministry of Nobles prompted all the nobles to frantically want to get the Statue of Light, it is really a watertight plan, two sides are sandwiched, I believe that in the entire imperial capital, there will be no voice against you in the future!"

Zhou Mo's voice was full of admiration, and the beauty of Ruiwen's methods reached the level of art, treating everyone as chess pieces, letting them be controlled without knowing it, and quietly waiting for the dust to settle and harvest all the fruits.

Reven smiled.

"Thank you Sadivan for your help, if it weren't for your intervention, those nobles in the imperial capital might not have had such a big reaction, and without your arrival, the situation in the imperial capital would not have been controlled by me so smoothly!"

Zhou Mo bowed and said:

"I have received such a precious gift from Your Majesty, so naturally I want to serve you wholeheartedly, after this time, the Naron family will once again tie all the nobles behind me, maybe after tens of thousands of years, there will be an eternal Sea King family just to understand the tiger plane!"

This sentence scratched the itch of Ruiwen.

"Sadivan, you know, in the main world, after Zhou Mo rose, he was too strong, so strong that the foundation of the entire aristocratic class was shaken by it, so, in order to be foolproof, we must plan early, you should also manage the Platinum Duchy well, and leave descendants as soon as possible, this is the big rear of all our nobles, a natural retreat!"

Zhou Mo smiled secretly in his heart, Rui Wen seemed to have forgotten something, and wanted to give him a wake-up call.

"Your Majesty Nalong, although it is not good to say these things at this time, as your retainer and friend, I think I have the obligation to remind you that Zhou Mo is also here, and he is also in the light of the tiger plane, and his colleagues are also your enemies!"

Rui Wen frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then shook his head and said:

"Because of your appearance, he has lost the war between nobles and commoners, the former Holy Light Knights have been completely wiped out by your Platinum Knights, Zhou Mo has no capital to turn the tables, at most, he will come out at a critical moment and want to do something bad, so as long as we are always vigilant against him, he will never have a chance!"

Zhou Mo made a sudden realization.

"In this way, Sadjvan is relieved!"

Rui Min's blue eyes looked at Sadivan, and suddenly said:

"Sadivon, you'll be attending the aristocratic adjudication meeting, I'm not mistaken!"

Zhou Mo nodded to live up to Ruiwen's expectations and said:

"Of course I will attend the aristocratic adjudication meeting, otherwise those nobles of the imperial capital will unite, and my old subordinates will really not be able to suppress it, even I, in the face of the nobles of the imperial capital who have been touched by the fundamental interests, without the support of Her Majesty the Empress, if you want to force the matter over, you can only use the sword to open the way!"

The corners of his mouth hooked up with an unexpected smile, and Ruiwen said:

"I will give you the power to exercise the veto on behalf of the royal family, and if you can, drag things on, the longer it drags on, the more nobles will be involved!"

Zhou Puppet saluted respectfully.

"Everything is as you wish, Your Majesty Nalon!"

The changes in the imperial capital did not affect the distant Dukedom of Balot.

But although the Dukedom of Barot is calm, the storm that is brewing in the shadows has already taken shape.

A large number of mineral resources, out of nowhere, began to be dumped at a low price in the Dukedom of Barot, and the low price made the eldest prince of Barot, who was a landlord, stunned.

"This is impossible, this kind of price, even if we mine directly from the mine, sell it directly, and keep the cost to a minimum, we can't make a profit, these people are crazy?"

The Grand Duke of Barot growls at the head of the Barot family's firm.

The director said helplessly:

"Eldest Prince, although it is a little incredible, but this kind of thing really happened!"

Then after hesitating for a moment, the director gritted his teeth and said to Grand Duke Barot:

"Eldest Prince, since most of the liquidity of the trading bank has been taken out by you, and now our goods are not sold as planned, so that our liquidity is exhausted, if there are not enough gold coins to operate, the situation of the trading bank is afraid to collapse!"

Grand Duke Barot slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, which made the old butler who had just entered the living room frown.

"The eldest prince, the procurement of various materials in the manor has begun, but for some reason, in the past, our procurement objects have invariably increased the price, this is the price list, please call the shots!"

Grand Duke Barot took the list from the old butler's hand, and after just a glance, he felt a mouthful of blood almost spilling from his chest.

"Tripled? Are these merchants crazy and joking with the Duke of Balot's palace?"

At this time, the director of the comptoir had to explain:

"The eldest prince, this is not a joke, some luxury goods and aristocratic daily necessities in Barot's territory have been purchased in large quantities, and now they are in short supply, and the triple price is already a matter of old concern, some rare and necessary things have been fried to ten times the original price, even so, there are still people who buy them in unlimited quantities!"

Grand Duke Barot took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked the old butler:

"How much gold do we have at our disposal?"

The old butler bowed his head slightly and said:

"With less than 50,000 Seagod Gold Coins, the wealth you sent to the imperial capital has almost emptied the family's treasury!"

Grand Prince Barot looked at the director of the comptoir again and asked:

"Is this money enough for the comptoir to survive this crisis? The operation of the comptoir must not be stopped, that is the source of most of the Barot family's income!"

The director also looked down for a moment, and then said:

"If the situation doesn't improve, 50,000 Seagod Gold Coins will be able to support it for five months at most!"

"After all, purifying ore, refining resources, and the daily consumption of chamber mates and mines are extremely costly. ”

"Butler, take the supervisor to withdraw the gold coins!"

The eldest prince of Barot said something haggardly, and then found that the butler had not moved.
