"It was His Majesty Egir who had plotted against Sir Alder, on the grounds that Sir Alder had secretly conspired against the Emperor's decree. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Such a rumor - no, it cannot be said to be a rumor, after all, its real surname is very high - and under the deliberate indulgence of the emperor, it soon spread throughout the upper echelons of Krakow. Officials and aristocrats were silent. I really can't imagine that this emperor is so vicious. The murder was not enough, but he took the head and reputation of the other man - Sir Alder committed suicide in prison on the second day of his imprisonment, after learning the whole story.

Of course, there are also rumors that he did not commit suicide, but "was killed". None of that matters, though. The important thing is that he came to a miserable end, ruined his reputation and family - his granddaughter, who was originally dependent on him for his life, also committed suicide after the accident. Of course, it is also very likely that this noble lady was "committed suicide".

Well, it's also a trivial thing. The imperial system of selecting officials was similar to the imperial examination system in ancient China. But there is one biggest difference - the emperor does not specifically select important ministers as invigilators, nor does he select important ministers for review. Because the empire does not choose talents based on whether the rhetoric of the article is beautiful or not. Or whether the philosophical theory is brilliant. The Empire would never have chosen Aristotle or Shakespeare as an Imperial official.

At the same time, such behavior also puts an end to nepotism due to the official selection system. In the same year, the teacher, the disciple or something...... Well, sometimes Egil felt that there would be no other country in the world than that strange country in the East with a precocious surname, that would be so good at networking.

Therefore, the emperor took a step back slightly, and did not directly forcibly arrest the other party for no reason. Instead, he used such a vicious conspiracy to make the other party ruined. There will be no such thing as his so-called disciples, students, the same year, the township party, and the like to complain about him. The whole empire, except for those officials from Flanders and North Saxony who had previously resisted the emperor's policies, the others only secretly reminded themselves not to act against the emperor in the future.

And those officials from Flanders and North Saxony felt a little panicked. After the empire completely decided to abandon these two regions. They became rootless duckweed. Speech has no weight at all. Now that they think about it, the vast majority of them felt that it was a bad idea to disobey the will of the emperor before. Egil wanted to slaughter them, no more than killing a chicken.

It was in this environment that Egil took advantage of the situation and once again strengthened his intelligence department. Or rather, the secret service. The intelligence section of the Royal Consultation Bureau, which is completely out of line, has finally been completely read out. And hung a more conspicuous and more beautiful signboard: the National Security Agency.

After much thought, Egil decided that the name was the most appropriate. The National Security Agency, as the name suggests, is the department that guards national security. The scope of this "security" is quite broad. From the million-strong army of a country hostile to the Normans in the immediate sense of the word, to the bear children who defecate in the open on the streets of Krakow. It can be said that it hinders national security. Of course, in reality, this department is neither a regular army, nor is it the boss of the neighborhood committee. Rather, it is a thorough secret service.

The personnel structure of this new secret service agency is still the same as the original one. But in terms of function, it has been greatly improved. The Emperor stipulated that they had more law enforcement authority than the Imperial Garrison. They could arrest anyone, at any time and in any place, without any restraint, who they suspected of endangering the security of the state - or, in other words, endangering the safety of the Norman Emperor.

But in a sense, the emperor is the empire itself. I am the country. So there's nothing wrong with the NSA's actual mission. Of course, it may just be that the emperor himself thinks so.

So, just like that, the number one spy organization under the emperor's command was newly baked. In introducing the decree of this department, the emperor seemed to be afraid that others would not know what they did. There are many allusions, puns, and metaphors. I almost said it directly: "In the future, everyone [***] should be careful when they speak, otherwise they may lose their heads!!"

Of course, this department is much better than some organizations that start with the letter k, or the letter g. Because, it is specifically aimed at aristocrats, officials, wealthy merchants, landlords, gang bosses and even other intelligence services. And not against civilians. After all, in this era, the concept of the state and the nation, the idea of enlightenment, the idea of boiling civil rights, and other theories have not been introduced. As long as the emperor can ensure that the civilians under his rule will not starve to death, then the civilians will be very honest and honest.

That's it, the Inspectorate, the nobles, the wealthy merchants and other powerful people, approach them and control them. When they were unfavorable to the emperor, they decisively arrested them. Or grab them. Forcing them to do something they are unwilling to do in order to achieve what the emperor wants.

National Security Agency. And so it was founded. With such a disgusting and speechless organization, the return of Egil, the Norman Emperor, was announced. With the gradual growth of this organization. The Norman Emperor hatched several more conspiracies against people he did not like. And with the successive deaths of these people. Gradually, the Norman Empire transitioned from a relatively relaxed political atmosphere to an era when tyrants played with the White Terror.

This result pleased the emperor - although some of the Eastern European nobility were dissatisfied and expressed their rebellion. But the absolute power of the Emperor, coupled with the accurate information provided by the Norman intelligence system. As soon as these rebellions took place, they were quickly suppressed by the emperor.

There were also those who were ready to attack the emperor himself. Poisoning, assassination, all sorts of tricks - but these were too pediatric for Egil. Such radical activities only hastened the demise of those people.

And so, on the day of Christmas, this very beautiful traditional festival. Egir uttered these presumptuous words at the Christmas party: "All Normans, if any of you feel that you are capable, you will be able to rebel against me. And if you don't dare, then give me obedient obedience!

At that time, looking at the nobles who participated in the banquet, they forced a smile to please themselves. Egil was satisfied. Of course, beside him, the dissatisfaction of his sister Aurora, the eldest princess of the Norman Empire, also reached its peak.

"What exactly do you want to do?!" on the day after Christmas, December 26th. The empire has a three-day holiday on Christmas. So you don't have to deal with official business. Egil had originally made an appointment with Printhia to go to the suburbs to enjoy the snow and run the horses. Unexpectedly, he was blocked in the palace by Aurora.

After driving away the maids, leaving only the two of them, Aurora asked in a loud voice: "Do you think it is easy to handle state affairs in this palace for so many years?

Egil shrugged his shoulders and replied very easily, "Because there is no war to be fought now." That's why I have to find something to do. You can't just pop all day long...... That's pretty good, though. ”

"Do you really think that?!" Aurora breathed hard at Egir's outrageous remarks, and his chest rose and fell slightly. Today's eldest princess wore a low, excessively low-cut dress. Looking at the pair of beautiful indescribable boobs jumping and jumping, Egil was a little worried, what would happen if Aurora moved too much and her clothes fell off.

That's pretty good, though.

"Okay. Egil shrugged again. Then he stretched out his hand and put it on Aurora's shoulder, approached her with a sense of oppression, and then said in a deep voice: "The real reason is that the empire is mine, and it can only be mine." Everything in the empire should revolve around my will. Anyone who disobeys me will disappear. I want to control everything in the Empire!all people, all resources, everything!!"

In the end, Egil moved forward, forcing Aurora to stick to the wall. Egil, on the other hand, propped his hands on the wall, bowed his head, looked at Aurora condescendingly, and said, "Including you." ”

Hearing such aggressive words, Aurora's heart throbbed for a moment, and then she let out an exaggerated "ha?!". Facing Egil's eyes. In protest: "Are you crazy?"

"Well, it's crazy. The corners of Egil's mouth turned up, revealing a slightly exaggerated smile: "Do you know what it feels like to have something pressed on you for ten years and then move away all at once?!"

After hearing what Egil said, Aurora's face became a little strange. And after hearing what Egil said next, the odd ingredient doubled.

"Did you know...... Egil stretched out his left hand, gently sliced it down Aurora's cheek, and then lifted Aurora's jaw, "I liked you the first time I saw you. ”

"Is that so?" Aurora looked at Egil with a little weirdness, and at the same time looked at Egil expectantly, wondering what he could say.

"Such a perfect body, full breasts, slender limbs, soft skin and a beautiful face...... I almost wanted to put you down, tear your clothes, and pierce your hymen!" Aurora, on the other hand, was a little dazed. This one seems to be a bit different from the "like" she imagined......
