"The old emperor found me. ”

The Marquis of Rhine drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and a breath of wine flowed up, and his face immediately turned red. He hiccuped, and let out a bad breath a little undignified, and shook his head with a little confusion in his eyes, "He gave me some very generous conditions to choose to be a bystander." He actually laughed as he spoke, "To be honest, the conditions he offered are really exciting, the position of prime minister, the title of duke, and also include a fief ten times larger than the area of my current fief. ”

Wren sat calmly on the sofa, crossed his legs, his arms pressed against the armrests, his body slightly sideways, he looked at Rhine, "And then?"

Marquis Rhein shrugged his shoulders, "And then, he played the emotional card with me, you know, he took very good care of me in the early years, and trusted me very much. If it weren't for him, maybe I'd be just a viscount or an earl now. He gave me a stage to show my talent and gave me a lot of trust, and I am very grateful to him. ”

"And...... , he also said one more thing. The Marquis of Rhein looked at Wren with some hesitation, he didn't know what to say, and it took a while before he told the truth: "He said that if the Orlando family can resist this onslaught as before, he will regain the throne, and he will imprison Pars until the next heir appears." ”

The old emperor really made a gesture this time, whether it was the conflict between Empress Pars and the aristocratic group, or Wren standing up and wanting to challenge the Orlando family, the original cause of everything was still Empress Pars. She was a woman, and there were three women who were emperors during the Holy Empire, but this was the Orlando Empire. The strife within the empire has never been broken, whether it is between nobles and nobles, or between forces and forces, everyone is constantly fighting.

In such an empire, the supreme ruler must have enough prestige and dominance to keep the entire empire relatively calm. But it was obvious that a female emperor could not do this. In this society where men dominate the world, women have a lower status than men, and even if those nobles pinch their noses and admit that there is a woman on their heads, they will not care too much about this woman.

Yes, the first few conflicts and the civil war were well resolved by Empress Pars, but these were not solved by her own hands, but by the hands of others. For example, Wren, whether it is containing Pilagos or suppressing several rebellions and riots, has nothing to do with Empress Pars in essence. She just issued an order, and then Wren or the others did it, and no one saw her true ability, or ability.

Almost all of the Orlando emperors have been heroes, from Emperor Orlando I to Emperor Orlando VI, each emperor has been a close relative. They told all the nobles, all the forces, that the emperor is not the kind of soft egg who will only hide in the inner court of the palace, they can not only govern the country, but also crusade against the uncourtiers.

Let's put it this way, the previous emperors used to beat whoever disobeyed, and the current Empress Pars was disobedient to whom I asked people to beat.

Although the results are the same, the nature has changed dramatically. The former holds the initiative themselves, while the latter has the initiative in the hands of others.

In addition, Empress Pars herself is a woman, so everyone may not really obey her in their hearts, which is why the aristocratic group dares to start a civil war, and Wren dares to challenge the Orlando family.

The old emperor's re-enthronement gave a lot of wavering little nobles a lot of confidence, and this is why no one has come here to tell him Wren that the old emperor has made a move, except for the Marquis of Rhine. No matter what they thought about it, they were afraid that speaking out would make Wren misunderstand, or they were really persuaded by the old emperor, in short, they had become less reliable in Wren's eyes.

It's right to think about it, rebellion is not an easy thing, no one knows how many things the Orlando family has hidden in the palace and how many backhands have been set up in the palace for three hundred and seventy-six years of ruling this empire, and a rash attack is definitely not the most correct choice. While they agreed with Rennes' approach, they prepared for another hand and bet on both sides.

This can't be blamed on them, after all, this is the rule of survival of the aristocracy, and they will always only be loyal to the strongest one, and if there is no strongest, they will wait until the strongest one is contested before deciding who to be loyal to.

The visit of the Marquis of Rhine gave Wren a wake-up call, and he realized that he was still one step away from the throne, so he decided to complete this step as soon as possible.

The last Imperial Diet in July was convened as scheduled, and all the members of the parliament came, except for those from the northern aristocracy.

Nearly one-third of the 500 seats were empty, and the Queen of Pars tried to fill them several times, but the parliamentary vote never passed. Everyone knew very well that she would try her best to install her own people into the council, and then the balance of the imperial parliament would be upset and become her toy, so everyone kept rejecting this proposal.

After the convening of the Imperial Diet this time, the atmosphere became very depressing, and everyone, including Vito, who was sitting in the position of speaker, remained silent. Everyone was voting silently, and there was hardly a murmur to be heard in the entire Imperial Diet hall except for the sound of the votes.

When all the errands were taken care of, Vito asked several times, no one handed over a new proposal or called a vote, and just as he was about to end the council, Wren stood up.

He wears a very traditional aristocratic costume today, despite the heat outside. Slim-fitting long dark gowns with beige floral collars, meticulous hair reflecting the sheen of the dome's cured illumination. He rolled up his sleeves, walked directly out of the first row, strode up to the rostrum, looked at the round venue like a gladiatorial arena, picked up the gavel and knocked on the table.

Vito frowned and looked at Wren beside him, he actually wanted Wren to go down, but he also knew very well how serious the current situation was, maybe just a little spark would detonate the entire imperial capital, so he chose to be silent.

He wanted to see what the hell Wren was going to play, but soon Wren began to regret it.

"Today, in front of all the members of the Reich, I will stand here ......", the corners of Wren's mouth rose slightly, and he said his purpose loudly, "I will launch a vote to impeach Her Majesty Queen Pars!"

With a bang, the Imperial Diet, which had been suppressed all the time, instantly became agitated like a volcanic eruption, and everyone looked at Wren on the rostrum in disbelief, and even thought that he was hallucinating? Wren actually wanted to impeach Empress Pars? Was he drinking too much, or was he crazy? No one had ever heard that the emperor could be impeached. But when they calmed down a little, except for the royalist parliamentarians who were even more angry, the faces of the parliamentarians of the other forces showed a look of excitement!

Yes, excited!

Since the members of the two northern aristocratic groups were imprisoned or purged, the entire imperial parliament was left with the members of the southern aristocratic group, the royalist nobles, the members of the major parties, and the governors or governors' representatives of each province, as well as the representatives of the lords and lords of the capital.

It can be said that in this impeachment, Empress Pars's power is not superior at all!

Wren rang the gavel again, "Now start voting by secret ballot, not voting within ten minutes is considered a abstention, now ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Vito came to his senses at this time, and he pounced on Wren, trying to snatch the gavel from his hand, and at the same time trying to subdue him. Wren is really too messy, and he actually wants to impeach Queen Pars in public on such an occasion, has he really made up his mind to go all the way to the dark?

Wren's reaction was also extremely fast, and he picked up the gavel in his hand and hammered it into Vito's head. Although Vito had cultivated Battle Qi when he was young, after all, he hadn't touched it again for so many years, and he didn't have any extraordinary strength except for his better physical fitness. The mallet buzzed into his forehead, and he fell to the ground clutching his head in a scream. Wren lifted his leg and there was a fierce kick, and Vito screamed as he kicked it.

After a while, he shook his shoulders, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at the silent council scene, and shook the blood on the gavel, "Start voting now!", the fierce Wren made many councillors who were still a little gloating and swaying frightened, and at this time, Wren suddenly added, "No need to collect, vote on the spot." ”

Under the normal process, the results of the vote will not be counted and counted until everyone's voting cards have been collected. This is to protect the position of the vast majority of parliamentarians and prevent certain people from finding opportunities to manipulate them. But Wren's request not to collect means that staff members will sing the results while picking up the voting cards next to the councillors.

What's the difference between this and a secret ballot?

It doesn't make a difference at all.

Wren is going to use this method to make everyone have to stand in line, not to give those wall grasses any chance, and to minimize the occurrence of accidents as much as possible.

At this moment, the door to the council hall was suddenly pushed open, and a group of greyhounds ran in and blocked the door.

Except for a few who were very indifferent, the other councillors became panicked, what was Wren going to do?

It's just that the situation is forcing now, even if some people are unwilling, they have to bite the bullet, choose the approved option on the voting card, and then hand over the result to the goddess of fate to decide!
