Her Majesty the Empress of the Ministry of Nobility, there is a document about the succession of twenty-six high-ranking nobles to the title.

When the Minister of War heard the news in the Military Department, he couldn't help frowning, and asked a noble count who came to report to him:

"Does Her Majesty have any instructions, and is there any one of the heirs who does not have a good impression in Her Majesty's mind?"

As the ruler of the empire, the succession of titles without the nod of Her Majesty the Empress is illegal, and cannot be recognized by the nobility and the empire.

With this kind of power, Ruiwen Naron also once vetoed the qualification of a noble heir to inherit the title, on the grounds that he was unable to fulfill the corresponding noble responsibilities.

In fact, the aristocratic circles of the imperial capital understand that it is because the noble heir has a romantic reputation in the imperial capital and likes to stay in the halls of the imperial capital, and the reputation has spread to the ears of Her Majesty the Empress, thinking that the female Emperor Majesty will naturally let this heir never have the hope of inheriting the title, and he has cheapened his sister for nothing, and he has long been a female marquis of the empire.

"Her Majesty said that these nobles were executed by His Majesty Platinum by divine decree, and whether or not the original heir inherits the title still needs to be approved by His Majesty Platinum!"

There was a hint of wonder in the words of this earl of the noble ministry, it was the power of the Emperor to supervise, deny, and appoint the heir to a certain title, and no one could have imagined that at this time, Her Majesty would take out this power and share it with Her Majesty Platinum.

The Minister of War took a deep breath, put down the pen that was reviewing the paperwork, and whispered:

"Stop this for now, wait and talk!"

This order embarrassed the Earl, who said:

"My lord, the Ministry of Nobility is nominally supervised by those high-ranking nobles, and this matter involves His Majesty Platinum, and they can't let us delay it. ”

His brows furrowed deeply, the trace of the statue of the god of light had not been found, and he had to move among the fiefs of the twenty-six fiefdom nobles to find things, and this privilege was exchanged for the promise of a stable succession of the twenty-six noble titles.

If the promise of the imperial capital's aristocratic circle is not fulfilled, then the Minister of War can imagine what the twenty-six aristocratic families will do.

Looking up, glancing at the earl, the voice of the Minister of War was slow but firm.

"None of the names on the list can be changed, since Her Majesty the Empress said that she wants to ask Her Majesty Platinum for advice, then you should go and ask for it!"

The earl's body trembled slightly, this order?

"What do you mean, my lord?" The Earl would not dare to do such a big thing, just a hint, he needed the exact order of the Minister of War, otherwise if he misunderstood, no one would take responsibility for him.

"Didn't Her Majesty have no instructions? and didn't say that he had any opinion on the list, so let's go and ask Her Majesty Platinum as it is, I don't think Her Majesty Platinum will have any meaning to the list approved by Her Majesty, after all, this is Her Majesty's power!"

"So, do you understand?" the Minister of War seemed to take it for granted, but in his words that were not unusual, the thoughts revealed were extremely vicious.

The Count understood, he did not misunderstand, that the Minister of War was going to provoke a contradiction between Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum, and to use this contradiction to get this list to pass.

The Count did not speak immediately, but, after careful consideration, said:

"My lord, I understand what you mean, and I am happy to serve you, but I am afraid that my ability is not enough to maneuver between the two Majesties, whether it is the art of speech or the art of performance, I am not confident that I can withstand the scrutiny of the two Majesties!"

The Count knew that if he took over the matter, he would immediately become the confidant of the Minister of War, which his family had always looked forward to.

And if this is done, then he and his family will be favored by the entire upper-class aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, and the sons and daughters of his family will enter the sight of the marriage of nobles above the marquis.

It was a great temptation, but the Count resisted it, for his noble skill was not sufficient for him to accomplish such a task, and if such a task failed, the consequences would be beyond his bearing.

At the same time, deceiving Her Majesty the Empress of the Empire, and Her Majesty the First Noble, and trying to provoke a conflict between them, is enough to make the entire family of the Earl fly away.

The reward of success is as great as the punishment of failure, and the Count cannot touch it when he feels that he is not more than ninety percent sure.

When the Minister of War heard the Earl's words, he glanced at the Earl with some surprise, most people can only see the benefits after success, and only a few wise people can see the dangers on the road to success.

The Minister of War did not expect that this earl, who had always been not very popular, would be so wise.

"In that case, go down!"

The Minister of War's voice cooled down, although he is a talent, but if he is not used by me, then there is no need to care.

The Count looked disappointed, and turned to withdraw.

Early the next morning, a young and confident nobleman came to see Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo put down the information from the Duke of Barot in his hand, laughed, and ordered:

"Go and ask, if it's someone from the Ministry of Nobles, just ask him, if the list for Her Majesty the Empress to see yesterday has been changed, if not, you don't need to show it to me, let them redraw it!"

The young and confident nobleman who was originally waiting outside Zhou Mo's residence with a smile on his face was restored like this, and his confident face was difficult to look at in an instant.

"His Majesty Platinum decrees that the nobles will not revise it as soon as possible. ”

The news reached the ears of the Minister of War, and in front of the young nobleman, the Minister of War slammed the pen in his hand out of his forehead.

"Too much deception!"

His Majesty Platinum did this, which was tantamount to pointing to the face of the Minister of War and saying:

"Don't play tricks with me, this kind of thing is left over from my play, you're still too tender!"

This made the Minister of War a little annoyed and angry.

However, this is not the reason for the military minister's gaffe, what really makes the military minister unable to even maintain his demeanor in front of the next nobles is fear!

Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty the Platinum are united, something that has not been the case in more than a decade since the establishment of the Empire.

Her Majesty the Empress, who sits at the center of the empire, and Her Majesty Platinum, who has established his own kingdom within the empire, have always maintained an ambiguous relationship, supporting each other and faintly hostile to each other, so that within the empire, the royal family with divine power is backstaged, and the nobles with military power as the backstage have reached a delicate balance.

But now, at this time, when the nobles of the imperial capital have united to carry out a certain plan that can be said to betray the divine sea god, Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum have shown a consistent attitude, what does it mean?

The more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and after rejecting the young nobleman, he returned directly to his home, ignoring the unfinished business, and immediately contacted a group of allies.

"Did Her Majesty notice something, and was everyone's movements discovered by the royal family?"

The person has expired, and the Minister of War has raised questions.

The Secretary of State frowned and analyzed:

"No, Her Majesty the Empress has just cleaned up the palace, although everyone's eyes have been removed, but at the same time, the palace's intelligence system has no time to take care of things outside the palace in a short period of time, and the review of the maids and knights of the Praetorian Guard who have newly entered the palace is a complicated job!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer also nodded in agreement:

"Although the expenses of the imperial family are not in my hands, the economic system of the imperial capital is under my control, there is no large amount of money in the imperial court, and there is no sudden wealth in the imperial capital, through which I am sure that Her Majesty has no sign of letting her subordinates act on a large scale. ”

The Minister of War breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"So what does it mean that Her Majesty the Empress and Her Majesty Platinum are united this time?"

"The convergence of the two greatest forces in the empire is not good news for us, it means that as long as the two Majesties are willing, any of us can disappear anytime and anywhere!"

The Minister of War saw sweat on his forehead.

Hearing this, the Secretary of State also said with some concern:

"Indeed, what do the two Majlies want to express? Dissatisfaction with our interference in the inheritance of the twenty-six noble titles? This is indeed a taboo for Her Majesty the Empress, but Her Majesty Platinum should be happy to see it, and what these twenty-six nobles who are distributed on the road from the Principality of Platinum to the Imperial Capital are used for, His Majesty Platinum will not know. ”

"In our plan, we want to safely pass on the twenty-six noble titles according to our will, and the relationship between the empress and the platinum family is delicately balanced, if the two majesties are on the same page, we will have no room for interference except obedience!"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is also aware of the seriousness of the matter.

"If our promise can't be fulfilled, the twenty-six aristocratic families are not easy to fool, although the head of the family is dead, but the intricate network of relationships is still there, if we really want to make trouble, it is impossible for our affairs not to be exposed. ”

"And if our affairs are exposed, those twenty-six nobles whose heads are tied to His Majesty's carriage will be our fate!"

Everyone in the study fell silent, and the atmosphere was cold and desperate.

Although these nobles of the imperial capital are in the center of power in the empire, they have no direct influence on the army and the Holy See, and the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, which has always played the role of maintaining the operation of the empire and reconciling the relationship between the upper and lower levels, all understand that they are important, extremely important, and not important, whether it is His Majesty Platinum or Her Majesty the Empress, it is just a period of turmoil in the empire to kill them and replace them with a group of people.

"All operations have been temporarily stopped, and the people outside the imperial capital are ordered to search on their own, do not contact the imperial capital, we must find out Her Majesty's intentions, otherwise it will be too dangerous!"

The Minister of War spoke first.

Then the Secretary of State added:

"It is better to erase all contact with us from the outside people, and to clean all the people and records that can prove their relationship with us, so that it is safe. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"The current situation is unknown, and this is the only way, but the most important thing is that the inheritance list, or let this list pass, or we are prepared for the list that cannot be passed, how to appease the twenty-six nobles!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the palace, Ruiwen and Zhou Mo were also talking about this matter.

"Your Majesty, are you too merciful to these people, with the true God above, it doesn't take much effort to cleanse them. ”

Ruiwen shook her head and said:

"They are all talents, it is normal to be selfish, and it is normal to be unable to control themselves in the face of the temptation of eternal life, these do not mean anything, what I want is to make them realize that they need to respect the people and who the gods they need to believe in, not the noble corpses of the imperial capital. ”

Sadivan, played by Zhou Mo, shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, but in this case, they are estimated to be honest for a while, why not add fuel to the fire, let them find the idols, and then simply control them from the source, isn't it more in line with Your Majesty's wishes?"

Reven shook his head again and said:

"Although I can tolerate their petty actions, I must also discern which of these nobles are incorrigible, which are salvageable, and which are always loyal to me, so that I can determine how to use them in the future!"

Ruiwen-Nalong's meaning Zhou Mo understands that it is nothing more than to break up the originally monolithic circle of nobles in the imperial capital, divide and win over, that is, kill a group, fight a group, and pull a group, this kind of political method is not clever.

But it is the most mature and stable political method, and the one that does the least damage to the empire.

"Your Majesty, everything has a case, there is no problem if you want to deal with it like this, but if these nobles are frightened by you and don't do anything, then the twenty-six nobles will make a fuss all at once, and everyone will not look good!"

Zhou Mo reminded.

This made Ruiwen frown slightly, the twenty-six nobles had never been in Ruiwen's eyes, in her eyes, these nobles who no longer had the first generation of family heads were not a climate, but why did Sadjvan mention it?

What can they do, even if they make trouble, it will be a catastrophe for the nobles of the imperial capital, but for her, it is just a small turmoil.

"It's been ten years, and the true gods haven't made any progress at all, and there will always be people who are in a hurry first!"

Sadivan said this, causing Reco's brow to stretch, and at the same time smiled:

"So you are worried about this, don't worry, there has been an agreement between the sages not to interfere with each other!"

Zhou Mo's eyes lit up, what he wanted was qualified information.

When there is no benefit, the power is equal, of course, it is possible not to interfere with each other, but what if there is a benefit?

What if there was an irreconcilable relationship of interests between the seven empires in one dynasty?

Zhou Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth, then the Poseidon Empire, with Ruiwen Naron and Sadivan Platinum, will immediately become the target of everyone, and it will be an enemy on all sides!
