Chapter 621 Politics is also a kind of magic, and in the process of performing, no one knows the final effect of magic
"I'm not sick!", Empress Pars sat on a high throne and looked down on her father, the former Emperor. Her face was serious, there was no hint of laughter, and there was a hint of sharpness hidden in her calmness, "I'm sure, I'm not sick." β
Emperor Orlando VI frowned, he was not used to looking up at anyone, but although at this moment he was facing his own daughter, who was also the emperor of this empire. Suppressing the slight unhappiness in his heart, he grimaced at Empress Pars's words, "If you are not sick, you should not do anything to Wren at this time." He couldn't help but get up from his soft seat and take a few steps back and forth before tilting his head to look at the Empress Pars.
"It's obviously a very stupid move to do it at this time, and you will detonate the civil war that has already subsided. Obviously, you can slowly use the general force to oppress Wren to the point that he can't raise his head and has to choose to surrender, but you want to stimulate him in such a radical way, do you want to go to war with him?", Emperor Orlando VI's face was a little abnormally flushed, "Since he can endure and slowly expand his strength, then he should be allowed to continue to endure and endure for a lifetime, isn't it a better choice?"
Empress Pars had a sarcastic smile on her face, even though the man in front of her was her father, the emperor she had wanted to catch up, but at this moment, she completely surpassed her father. Whether it is the ability to rule the empire, or the vision, and the ability to understand politics, she thinks that she has surpassed the Emperor Orlando VI.
The faint sneering smile on her face made the Emperor Orlando VI a little irritated, and he snorted heavily, and sat back down, waiting for the Empress Pars.
Empress Pars chuckled, "Wren won't endure it for a lifetime, he won't even endure it for a few years. If he is allowed to continue to expand his power, it may not be long, three or five years at most, I ...... Or maybe the Orlando family can't suppress him. She took a sip from the glass beside her, moistening her throat, she had been arguing with Emperor Orlando VI for an afternoon, and the reason was the recent flurry of decrees.
Whether it is checking taxes in various places, replacing the guards of the Iron Wall Pass, or someone jumping out to report all kinds of lawlessness in Wren, the ultimate goal is to start a war with Wren.
Empress Pars was a young emperor, and she may have lacked some political understanding and interpretation skills than an old man like Emperor Orlando VI, but she was more radical and bold. Sometimes there are things that don't require too much thought, and the more you think about it, the harder it is to make a decision. When Emperor Orlando I rose up and overthrew the rule of the Holy Empire, he didn't plan for many years, but his brain jumped out of his head.
She knew very well that what Emperor Orlando VI said might not be too much of a problem in his opinion. As the war continued, the power in the hands of the Empress Pars continued to increase, and the dominance gradually expanded, but Wren did not fall at all. He just went around the interior of the Byron Empire and got himself the title of Desi Hero. Countless young people cheered for him, and countless old people celebrated him with crutches.
His prestige, in just over a month, is about to surpass her, the emperor.
This is not a good sign!
In particular, if Empress Pars wants to implement the reform of the political system, she must have the support of more civilians if she wants to successfully change the empire. Wren's appearance ruined her plans.
This is not the first time that Wren has sabotaged her plan, and she doesn't know how many times she has sabotaged Wren's plan, and she also knows very well that once she chooses the countermeasures that her father, Emperor Orlando VI, said to deal with Wren, then the initiative will be transferred from her hands to Wren's hands.
Everyone is in a race, and now she is running first, and this step is not determined by her ability or anything, but because of her identity.
What does Wren do once he realizes something is wrong?
Empress Pars thought about the problem, and it seemed to her that he would immediately carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, taking herself by surprise and with great hopes of pushing the Orlando family off the throne.
This is no joke, but the Imperial Charter makes it clear that when the Orlando family can no longer be affirmed and supported, and people think that the royal family needs to be replaced, the golden nobles can replace the Orlando family and become the new royal family of the empire.
So she won't tolerate Wren passively fighting back when she's getting fuller enough to clash with her head-on.
She wants to take the initiative to attack, that is, before Wren is ready, take advantage of his unpreparedness and hit him with a time difference.
Of course, she didn't completely tear her face as Emperor Orlando VI said, she still retained a shred of decency, and she wouldn't give anything a qualitative possibility to everything until she was sure that she could push Wren all at once. If it fails, it's nothing more than throwing out some dead ghosts to bear the blame for everything. Wren is still the Marquis of the Empire, and she is still the Empress of the Empire.
This involves a question of degree, to bring down Rennes politically, but not to leave too deliberate traces.
She also believes that as long as there is no real sword and gun, there is still room for reversal - because Wren is not completely ready.
The two sides will enter the running race again, but this will be the final leg of the final.
She believes she can beat Rennes, whether it's the upcoming storm or the upcoming final!
She glanced at her father at the bottom of the stairs, and a slight smile appeared on her face, she was really old, this man was once so majestic and majestic in front of her, all this has become a thing of the past. The current Emperor Orlando VI is just an old man, an indecisive old man.
And she is the real hope of this empire, the real future!
Sometimes politics is like that, decided in the hands of a few, deceived by the vast majority, and not revealed even at the last moment.
The full name of the local investigation team is the Imperial Tax Audit Team, and their job is to re-examine the tax problems of the past five years, and the attack is wide-ranging, not just against Wren alone. It can be said that in order to deal with Wren, he will be accompanied by countless nobles.
At the local level, it has always been a common practice to withhold taxes, and how can cities be built and developed without tax revenues? Some people are bold enough to bite down 20 percent in one bite. Someone is timid and steals only five percent. But whether it is 0.1 percent or 20 percent, this kind of behavior is tax evasion, it is a crime, and it can be punished.
In addition to auditing local taxes, the Imperial Tax Inspector also said that the Chamber of Commerce is also within the scope of the audit.
Who knows if so many chambers of commerce in the empire hide goods that need to be taxed?
If you want to ask where there are the most businessmen, it is none other than the business party, and Sarcomo is the most important.
It was just getting dark, and the spring evenings came slower than the winter, earlier than the summer, and it was already dark after six o'clock. Celeste, who hadn't seen his grandfather for a while, dressed in a smart simple suit, was a guest at Sarcomo's estate. Since the old merchant became a nobleman, it was as if he had awakened the second spring, and his gray hair turned back to black in a short time, and his red face did not look like an old man who already had a grandson or was about to have a great-grandson.
"There's been something wrong with the wind outside lately. Celeste put down her knife and fork, today's visit was not for nothing, she wanted to find out what had happened recently. She asked Funkos, but Funkos didn't say anything, and Celeste knew that Funkos must have something to hide from herself, so she came here and asked her grandfather for advice.
Sarcomo looked up at his granddaughter sitting on the other side of the table, then slowly straightened up, put down the knife and fork in his hand, picked up the napkin and wiped his lips. In this short moment, a lot of things flashed through his mind. But in the end, he still believed that such a question itself had no other meaning.
He put down his napkin and sat back, smiling and replied, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Questions from the Auditor's Panel. Celeste's eyes were fixed on Sarcomo, not at all because the other party was her grandfather, she did not dare to offend. Strictly speaking, she has no relationship with Sarcomo, she is Rennes's private property, Rennes's family, and her status and identity are far higher than Sarcomo's. Celeste also has a thorough understanding of his identity, except for the small talk at the beginning, there is also an element of family affection, from now on, everything does not exist.
"Don't think I don't know, there are always some problems on Bell's side, but at this time, His Majesty wants to review local tax issues, and he is obviously aiming at Wren. Celeste is very calm and rational, she knows very well what the problem is, the problem is in the mysterious time that Wren is not in the Empire. Empress Pars, she didn't check sooner or later, but chose to check when Wren left the empire and entered the Byron empire to make trouble, to say that she didn't target anyone, even a little girl like Celeste who didn't know much about politics didn't believe it.
Sarcomo's eyebrows almost clenched together, the question was not easy to answer, he pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Actually, they are not aimed at Wren, but against me." β
"Against you?", Celeste stood up sharply and looked at Sarcomo in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
In Celeste's opinion, all this is a conspiracy of Empress Pars against Wren, but she doesn't understand that if she wants to defeat a giant, the first thing to do is to steal the blade in the giant's hand!
