Lawrence took the magic flying, opened it, his eyes suddenly widened, and his hands trembled with anger.

"Bastards! Nicholas, look at it. With that, Lawrence asked the waiter to hand over the letter to Nicholas.

After reading it, the marshal's face also became very ugly, and his brows were furrowed, as if he had thought of something very unpleasant.

Anthony's face flashed with an unknown hint of gloom, "Oh, Your Majesty, I don't know what happened?"

There seemed to be some schadenfreude in Anthony's voice, and the Royalists and Republicans had always been at odds, and no one else thought it strange.

Nicholas looked at Lawrence with inquiring eyes, and the Emperor, who was seated above His Majesty, nodded, spoke, and said in as flat a tone as possible: "The miners of Bithynia have launched a large-scale strike because of the unsatisfactory salary negotiations, and now the workers in the major mines are facing off against the private armies of the local mine owners. ”

"Damn! shameless!" Anthony roared angrily, "The nobles of Bithynia have known that they exploit the poor miners, and the miners have risked their lives to go down to the mines to earn them gold coins, and they are not willing to give even a little pitiful copper plate to the workers, how shameless!

Anthony seemed to be the fair judge in the courtroom, and every word he said was loud, and as soon as his voice came out, it immediately aroused the approval of Republican officials.

"Yes, arrest them all. ”

"Dissect their hearts. See if it's dark!"

"These dog nobles know that they make money by themselves, and they don't care if others live or die. ”

......

These voices fell on the ears of the military generals who were mostly nobles, making their faces very ugly, but they couldn't refute it.

The nobles of Bithynia are simply a disgrace to the nobility, and a grain of rat droppings spoiling a pot of soup is the best description of them.

"Damn! These rich nouveau riche are causing us trouble again!"

Philip could clearly hear complaints that the nobles of Bithynia were rich but of bad character. If it weren't for the fact that they would be able to provide a large sum of money every year for the party. Not a single one in the royalist party liked them.

Lawrence winked at Nicholas, who, although he was a royalist co-leader, had to remain neutral as emperor. Some words are more appropriate for Nicholas.

The Imperial Marshal coughed lightly: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister." The origin of the matter is not clear. It's so easy to draw conclusions. ”

"It's early?" Anthony snorted, "I think it's too late! every minute we delay here is one more point in danger of war than Tinia. Your Majesty, please give an order immediately, and control those nobles first. ”

The reason is that the people are naturally sympathetic to the weak, and compared with the miners and the nobles who own the mines, the miners are obviously the weak, and it is the right thing to do to strike at the strong and ease the contradictions.

But the problem is that this cannot be said by Anthony, and this cannot be done by the Republicans.

No matter how unbearable the nobles of Bithynia are, they are also royalists, and if they want to beat or scold, they have to do it with the royalists, and if they let the Republicans do it, they will definitely make a fuss about this matter and hit the reputation that the royalists have rebuilt with great difficulty.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that a competent official be appointed to investigate the incident. Nicholas said, turning his gaze to Anthony again, "Prime Minister, this seems to be the standard procedure, we are only receiving information now, and we don't know what is behind it, and it is against fairness and justice to arrest people directly." ”

Anthony looked at Nicholas and said with a smile: "As the marshal said, it is indeed against fairness and justice to arrest people directly, who does the marshal think is better to send?"

"Councillor, the Marquis of Hyde, is old and experienced, and has been a former magistrate, and I think he can be sent to Bithynia to investigate the incident, and to mediate between the nobles and the miners. ”

"Hyde, that old fellow with half of his body in the ground?" said Anthony disdainfully, "He was in charge of the place thirty or forty years ago, it is said that Councillor Hyde is now more interested in women than in parliamentary affairs, and several times when the parliament meets in plenary sessions, someone has found out that he has come out of Jasmine, and I wonder if he will go to Bithynia in the bed of the local woman, and never come back." ”

Nicholas's cheek twitched, what Anthony said was the truth, Hyde, this old fellow was indeed not virtuous, if he went to Bithynia to look for women everywhere, plus this guy was old, and he had a good wind or something, the face of the royalists would be disgraced.

"Councillor Charles, young and young, less than thirty years old, full of energy, I think he is a good candidate. ”

"It's very young, but it seems to be a little too young, right? What kind of title is he? By the way, without a title, can you expect him to subdue the aristocratic families in Bithynia that have been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years?"

"Officer ......"

"No experience in local affairs......"

......

Nicholas listed several names, but Anthony vetoed them all, the young ones said that they were not qualified enough, the older ones said that they were old and frail, the military ones said that they had no administrative experience, and those with local experience, and Anthony picked on the bad deeds of the other party's character, saying that it would affect the miners' fairness to the central government.

In short, Anthony refuted Nicholas's candidates one by one, and no matter who the Imperial Marshal proposed, he just wouldn't agree.

"Okay, then you can talk about it, who is suitable!" Nicholas is also on fire, in the past, when investigators were sent to the locality, either the royalists were positive, and then the Republicans sent a deputy investigator, or the Republicans were positive, and the royalists were deputies, and Anthony would say even if he rejected Nicholas's suggestion: "The person that the marshal said is still a little worse, and I propose to serve as a deputy." ”

The focus of contention between the two sides will only be on the positive or negative of the investigators, rather than blindly vetoing.

Of course, the Galia riots don't count, Anthony didn't want to send Republican deputies at that time, and he didn't want his own people to jump into that mud pit at all, but it turned out afterwards that whether Anthony wanted it or not, the Galia riots caused the Republican Party to suffer heavy losses.

"I think this incident should be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise, it is easy to cause a local rebellion, I suggest that an investigator can be appointed, and I think the speaker of the parliament is more suitable, the right age, and proficient in all kinds of political affairs. ”

"No, the Speaker is in a high position and cannot easily leave Wellington, without him, who will preside over the Parliament? There are so many bills this year, he needs to preside over the debate and vote. ”

"Finance Minister Khairy is also a good candidate, with rich local experience, and others dare not disagree with the official title of Minister of Finance, as long as those nobles and bureaucrats still expect the Ministry of Finance to allocate various support funds to them every year. ”

"No, the Chancellor of the Exchequer is a very important central minister, and he can't leave easily, if those miners go crazy and detain Kerry directly, will the face of the empire be wanted, and if any more conspirators force me to ask me about the economic information of Bugas, it will be a disaster. ”

"Minister so-and-so......"

"No, the seniority is not enough, those nobles will not buy it. ”
