After the court meeting, Situ Jin immediately came to Ferdinand's palace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ferdinand seemed to have expected him to follow, and was already sitting in the hall of the palace waiting for him.

"Your Majesty!" Situ Jin opened his mouth and said, "I am willing to accept you to give me a title and reward me with money, but you let me take charge of the military and political power of the empire, which is really beyond my ability!"

Ferdinand had his usual smile on his face: "Situ, what do you think of my treatment of you?"

didn't expect Ferdinand to suddenly ask such a question, Situ Jin was slightly stunned, and then said: "Your Majesty treats me very well!"

Ferdinand asked again, "Is this what you mean?"

Situ Jin looked at Ferdinand: "Of course." ”

In fact, Situ Jin knew in his heart that Ferdinand was not so good to him! Although he never spoke to Ferdinand, the first political matter that Ferdinand arranged on the first day of his ascension to the throne was his father's case.

On the surface, Ferdinand asked people to try this case, but in fact, the ministers, including Situ Jin, knew very well that Ferdinand was only doing this to symbolically go through the legal process, and when the legal process was completed, he would definitely release all the people of the Situ family.

Not to mention the things that Ferdinand gave to Situ Jin, this incident alone has already made Situ Jin very grateful to Ferdinand! Although Situ Jin's original intention of helping Ferdinand seize the throne was to save his family, the meaning of this matter being mentioned by himself and having Ferdinand take the initiative to speak is completely different.

Situ Jin originally thought that Ferdinand had just sat on the throne now, and he had not yet fully controlled the situation of the entire empire, so he would mention this matter after a while, but he didn't expect that Ferdinand had already thought of it for him in advance, which made Situ Jin unable but to be moved.

Hearing Situ Jin's words, Ferdinand nodded and said, "Okay, Situ, if you think that I have always been sincere to you, then you must help me now!"

Situ Jin looked at Ferdinand.

The smile on Ferdinand's face gradually faded, and it was replaced by a solemn expression: "Situ, I don't treat you as an outsider, I'll tell you directly." Although I am now on the throne, you should also know what the situation of the empire is now, to put it mildly, what I am taking over now is a mess! Now the political, military, economic and other aspects of the empire are in chaos, to be honest, I am under a lot of pressure right now!"

Speaking of this, Ferdinand looked at Situ Jin with a serious face: "Situ, in our entire empire, you are my most trusted person! At this time, if you don't help me, then even if I sit on the throne, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit for long!"

Situ Jin was silent, he knew that what Ferdinand said was the truth, but let him take over the military and political power of the empire, he was really not sure that he could do it well!

Seeing that Situ Jin was silent, Ferdinand sighed: "Situ, are you really unwilling to help me?"

After thinking about it, Situ Jin said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to help you, I'm really worried that I won't be able to do well! In this way, I accept the official position you have granted me, but you must appoint another chief political officer with the same official position as me, and we can also discuss and deal with anything!"

Ferdinand looked at Situ Jin, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You! others are afraid that someone will share power with you, why do you still take the initiative to find someone to share power with you?"

Situ Jin said truthfully: "Your Majesty, I know you trust me, but now that you have given me so much power, what do the other ministers of the empire think?"

Ferdinand smiled: "What do they think is their business, do I have to ask them for advice?"

Situ Jin looked at Ferdinand, and finally said what he wanted to say: "Your Majesty, if you want to be a good emperor, you can't help but consider the thoughts of the people below! Now the situation in the empire is not very good, it is no problem for me to stay here for the time being, but when everything in the empire is on the right track, I hope you can allow me to return to my territory, and let me come to the imperial capital when there is something!"

After Situ Jin finished speaking, he thought that Ferdinand would immediately open his mouth to refute his words, but to his surprise, after listening to his words, Ferdinand just looked at him with a pensive look.

After a while, Ferdinand said: "Okay, I won't force you if you don't want to be too tired, and when the domestic situation stabilizes, you can return to your territory, but there are two points: one is that I will not take off the official position on your head, and the other is that even if you return to the territory, you must come to the imperial capital every quarter to stay for me for at least half a month!"

Without giving Situ Jin a chance to speak, Ferdinand said, "As for the appointment of a general political officer of the same level as you just said, I have agreed to this, but now I don't have a good candidate here." ”

Knowing that this was Ferdinand's bottom line, Situ Jin didn't fight for anything more, and said directly: "Your Majesty, Osini!"

"He?" Ferdinand was slightly stunned, and a sneer immediately appeared on his face: "Do you still count on him? Yesterday you told me that he might come to the court meeting today, but what happened? I think this old guy is toasting and not eating and drinking, and he doesn't take me seriously, and I still want to give him an official?"

"Your Majesty!" Situ said cautiously: "I heard that Ossini was dissatisfied with Robert's insistence on fighting the war, so he was sick at home! In my opinion, the reason why he did not come to see you must be worried that you would continue to fight the war like Robert! As an old minister of the empire, he could not bear to see the empire decline day by day because of the war, so he chose to stay at home behind closed doors, doesn't this show his loyalty to the empire?"

Ferdinand's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "No matter what, evasion is not the fundamental way to solve the problem, if he is really loyal to the Empire, he should not hide at home at this time!"

After speaking, Ferdinand said to Situ Jin: "Since you speak for him like this, then I will give him another chance, and later you will come forward to go to his house on my behalf to comfort him, if he still doesn't know what to do, then don't blame me for not reciting his merits as an old minister of the two dynasties!"

Situ Jin nodded: "Okay! I'll go to him when I leave the palace!"

At this time, Ferdinand said again: "By the way, Situ, you are now in the imperial capital, and you can't live without a place! The previous mansion of your family will be returned to you, you can go back and find someone to clean it up yourself!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Situ Jin bowed slightly.

Ferdinand immediately pretended to be displeased: "When you say that there are only the two of us, you don't need to pay attention to these vulgar etiquette!"

Although Ferdinand emphasized it many times, Situ Jin still paid attention to the balance between the monarch and the minister! Since Ferdinand was already the emperor, it was impossible for the two of them to get along as casually as before, after all, there was a difference between the monarch and the minister! What Ferdinand said was one thing, and what he did was another, and Situ Jin didn't want to be confused about this kind of thing.
