A short and turbulent night passed, and early the next morning, the regent Obsidian officially summoned his ministers and representatives of the major families to discuss the matter in the main hall.

Except for the regular monthly meeting, it is not often that there are meetings of this size.

At the meeting, many family representatives found a new face, that is, Charles, the senior adviser of the palace who has been in a uproar recently. This Charles is terrible, killing three important members of the senator family and a side royal family, including the Lincoln family heir Lordan, I heard that last night's shock in the imperial capital was caused by Charles breaking out of the thirteenth prison in the secret prison "legend".

Now the man stood intact in front of the people, and he stood below the regent, and above the Minister of War, a position that no one could stand waiting for a half-decision.

Even more unexpectedly, the first thing the regent did was to announce the guilt of the Lincoln family.

Lordan, the heir to the Lincoln family, instigated Pierce of the Dian family, Restin of the Wren family, and Mia, a member of the side royal family, to ambush Charles, a senior advisor to the court, but he was defeated and killed, which was purely self-inflicted. Sartre, the patriarch of the Lincoln family, was eager to take revenge, misheard people's words, framed Charles and falsely passed on the regent's order, let General Doron arrest Charles and enter the secret prison, and even broke into the secret prison without permission, trying to kill Charles, causing chaos in the secret prison and causing many important prisoners to escape.

The senior advisers of the court were the honored guests of the royal family, representing the dignity of the royal family, and the crimes committed by the Lincoln family were very heinous and almost unforgivable, and they had made great contributions to the empire in those years, so they were extrajudicial and punished as follows: confiscated half of the Lincoln family's property, and carved the title of the patriarch's family, executed several elders who "instigated" the patriarch Sartre to make mistakes, and ordered Sartre to think about it at home for a year.

The Wren family and the Dian family were also given warnings and hefty fines as accomplices.

Although the ministers of the patriarchal family's faction expressed their opposition to this, and several representatives of the patriarchal family also lodged strong protests and even left the table angrily, Obsidian uncharacteristically did not appease or compromise, but rather resolutely maintained the "original half." He even vaguely stated that if the three families refused to carry out this punishment, then it would be enforced by force.

Many ministers and family representatives have their eyes on the quiet "Charles" under Obsidian, and they don't know what method he used to let His Royal Highness the regent act so categorically against the patriarchal family. In any case, "Charles" must be an extremely favored celebrity at the moment, and many people have begun to think about how to get closer to this senior consultant.

Isabella stood silently next to Chancellor of the Exchequer Legu, Caron, without looking at Chen Rui, just quietly staring at the ground.

Rommel saw that he could no longer stop Obsidian's decision, his eyes rolled, and he seconded: "The Lincoln family has indeed committed a major deed this time, and I believe that after this incident, Patriarch Sartre will learn a lesson, and if he makes meritorious deeds in the future, he should be able to obtain permission to return to the ranks of the patriarchal family." ”

Rommel was the military minister supported by several elder families, and in a sense, he could represent the majority of the patriarchal families, which was undoubtedly equivalent to abandoning the Lincoln family.

Obsidian nodded with satisfaction, at present, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with the patriarchal family, and when he really mastered the black potion, it would not be too late to suppress it step by step.

"However, there is one thing I want to bring up. Rommel glanced at Isabella, "According to my information, Lord Charles gave a gift to Lady Isabella before being taken away by General Doron, and asked her to pass it on to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent as the basis for explanation, but Lady Isabella hid it privately and did not give it to His Highness, and did not even see His Highness to intercede for Lord Charles. Personally, I am shocked by this incident, and I am even more sorry for Lord Charles. ”

Obsidian had been distressed by the "waste" of the bottle of resurrection potion, but now when he heard the word "gift", his heart moved, and a little chill appeared in his eyes: "Rommel, are you sure there is such a thing?"

"I can vouch for this with my life, and I have another witness, that is, a maid who was present when Lord Charles handed over the gift. ”...,

Rommel looked at Chen Rui and said confidently: "Actually, Lord Charles himself is the most haode proof of this matter. Not only that, but according to the latest information I have received, the reason why Lordan ambushed Lord Charles was because he was provoked by Lady Isabella. The young and vigorous Lordan was carried away by beauty for a while, and under jealousy, he made a big mistake desperately. Speaking of which, the source of all this is this lady of the mandala. Since the Lincoln family's guilt is not forgiven, then Isabella is even more unforgivable! I ask Your Highness to deal with it impartially and behead the real culprit, Isabella, to comfort the souls of the dead. ”

When the ministers heard this, a whisper suddenly sounded, if what Rommel said was true, then today's flower of the imperial capital is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of Xiang Xiaoyu Since there is no room for change in the affairs of the Lincoln family, then Isabella can not be forgiven either, and the regent cannot slap himself in the mouth.

It would be a pity if such a charming flower of the imperial capital died like this, but it had to die.

Rommel's meaning is very simple, the Senate family broke the arm of the Lincoln family, so it is necessary to let Obsidian remove an arm, and this matter is originally a fact, "Charles" is the most powerful witness, which is equivalent to representing the Senate family to "Charles".

Based on the analysis of the current situation, "Charles" can make the Obsidian regent openly attack the patriarchal family, there must be huge benefits beyond the original expectation, it seems that the other party was indeed underestimated before, no matter what, we must try to win this person, even if it costs a lot of money and patience.

Looking at the smiling Rommel, obsidian's face gradually sank, whether the "gift" thing is true or not, Isabella is a very heavy figure under his command, not only has considerable talent in politics and economics, but also controls the most sophisticated intelligence agencies, if it is lost because of this incident, it is definitely an extremely heavy loss.

The point is that the previous disposition of the Lincoln family had been too full of words, and it would definitely be difficult to convince the public to forgive Isabella now, and the influence of the current patriarchal family is quite large, and it involves "Charles"..."The contact between Hei and Charles, this human being is very vindictive, and the disposition of the Lincoln family is one of the conditions for his cooperation.

Of course, if it were him, it would not be possible to be merciful to the enemy.

Obsidian took a deep breath and said, "Isabella, don't you want to explain?"

Isabella looked at her with a faint silence and shook her head expressionlessly: "There is nothing to explain. ”

The corners of Obsidian's eyes raised, his gaze swept over the gaze of the ministers, and he gritted his teeth and was about to announce the decision to dispose of it, only to hear Chen Rui say: "Your Highness, about this matter, it seems that I, the victim, should come out and say a few words." ”

Obsidian nodded, Chen Rui stood up and shook his head: "The first thing to explain is that the so-called gift is actually ...... There is no such thing at all. ”

Rommel's confident smile suddenly froze on his face, and the most surprised was Isabella, although her complexion remained unchanged, but there were finally waves in her blue eyes.

"Charles" was the first party, and he said that if there was no such thing, there would definitely be no such thing, and even if Rommel found a hundred maids as witnesses, it would be useless. Obsidian's heart is wide and his jaw is slightly bowed.

"There is one more thing that needs to be said, that during the days when I was imprisoned in the secret prison, His Excellency the Minister of War came to visit me, and the coercion and temptation I still remember vividly......

Looking at Rommel, whose face changed suddenly, Chen Rui's tone became even colder, "At that time, I didn't agree to his conditions, and not long after Lord Rommel left behind his cruel words, His Excellency Sartre, who wanted to break my body into pieces, appeared in the secret prison. As far as I know, Lord Rommel, the real reason why Lorden assassinated me was at your instigation, because my proximity to Miss Isabella would be a political stumbling block for you, the Minister of War. Moreover, I also killed the eyeliner you placed next to Sister Xiao, the coachman Jadel..."I need you to give me an explanation in front of His Royal Highness the Regent and all the adults!"

Rommel was shocked, and he didn't expect that "Charles" not only ignored his overtures on behalf of the patriarchal family, but instead took a bite and poured the basin of dirty water on him completely. ...,

These words are true and false, interlocking, reasonable, and although the false part is small, it is enough to make Rommel never recover. The intimacy between Isabella and Chen Rui is well known, and Rommel, as a political enemy, has this motive, coupled with the affairs of Sartre and Jadel, Rommel could not find the words to refute it for a while...

Many ministers who knew a little bit of fur believed it, and there was another whisper, and they didn't expect that the mastermind behind all this turned out to be Rommel, who had been shouting to catch thieves, not only to plot to kill Charles, but also to frame Isabella!

Obsidian snorted coldly, and his tone was stern: "Rommel, how do you explain?"

Rommel's face turned pale: "Your Highness, if this is the case, how could I have taken the initiative to propose Isabella just now..."

Obsidian interrupted his unconvincing explanation and asked sharply, "Have you ever been to the Vault?"

This matter can be easily found out, and Rommel can only grit his teeth and admit: "Yes, but ......"

"Jadel is your man?"

"Yes...... But I was wronged!"

Obsidian shook his head: "This matter is already clear, and I am quite disappointed in you, Rommel. ”

"I remember Mistress Rommel...... I just said that you can guarantee with your life?" Chen Rui added quietly, which was equivalent to putting a knife on the other party's neck when Rommel fell.

The Lincoln family's affairs have successfully provoked the conflict between the patriarchal family and obsidian, but it is not enough, Chen Rui needs to add another fire, besides, Isabella is Lomon's aunt, and more importantly, she has the whereabouts of the Baryl royal family's artifact Wind Shadow Boots, so she can't die yet.

Since Isabella's "sin" just now is unforgivable, then the same applies to Rommel.

However, Obsidian is still hesitating, no matter what the truth of the matter is, Rommel is always the spokesperson of the senator family, which is very different from Sartre, if Rommel is really disposed of or executed according to the current scale, then the contradiction with the senator family will be produced in a chain of ji, although this will definitely be the case in the future, but for now, it is indeed too hasty.

However, Charles is the most important collaborator, and there is no one, and this matter is difficult to decide.

"I can give you back that sentence, Lord Rommel, coming to the Secret Prison that day was the worst decision of your life. Chen Rui looked like he was going to repay it, and said another sentence on fire.

Rommel was speechless at this time, and an unprecedented sense of frustration surged in his heart, and for a while, all eyes fell on Obsidian, seeing what he did with Rommel, and the representative of the patriarchal family simply stopped speaking, as if some kind of invisible liliang was brewing in a strange atmosphere.

If last night's shaking was thunder, today is a real storm, and if this is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a terrible flood.

At the critical moment, Isabella, who had always been silent, finally took the initiative to speak: "This matter should be that Lord Rommel was confused for a while, and asked His Royal Highness the Regent to take it lightly." ”

Everyone was surprised, including Chen Rui, but they didn't expect that the first person to speak for Rommel turned out to be Isabella, who has always been a mortal enemy.

When did the mandala flower become non-toxic?

Obsidian praised Isabella for taking care of the big picture, which was one of the main reasons why he admired this subordinate the most. With this step, Obsidian took advantage of the situation to announce that Rommel would be dismissed from his post as Minister of War and all his duties, and that the Minister of War would be temporarily replaced by the second general, Doren, and that Rommel would be severely punished personally and would never be appointed. As for the candidate for the new Minister of War, the senatorial family will re-nominate the candidate at the next regular meeting.

The dismissal and heavy punishment can give Charles, Isabella and the ministers an explanation, and the temporary replacement of Duolun in the middle is a buffer period, and as for the position of the new military minister, it is still handed over to the people of the old family, which can also be regarded as an explanation. As long as you wait until you successfully cooperate with Charles and obtain the only "endorsement" of the black potion, then it is not too late to gradually withdraw the power and replace your own person.

Sure enough, this ending was accepted by the patriarchal family, and no further objections were raised. ...,

The storm finally subsided, and the dust finally settled.

At this meeting, the name of "Charles" resounded throughout the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and all parties were reconsidering and calculating this upstart who could affect the pattern of the imperial capital.

Although "Charles" caused some trouble to Rommel's attack, in general it satisfied Obsidian, and before the new military minister was elected, he was the temporary replacement of Duolun and could do a lot of "articles" in his favor.

And when "Charles" announced the decision, he also gave enough face and did not relent.

In fact, Chen Rui's Jihua, who provoked the conflict between the obsidian and the patriarchal family, has basically succeeded, and the reason why he didn't do too much was because he didn't want to affect the next most important "cooperation plan".

The court was dissolved, and a few cronies such as Duolun and Isabella were left behind to arrange some affairs during the handover.

As Isabella walked out of the palace, she saw a figure waiting for her.

It's him.

The beautiful blue eyes watched the man from far and near, and an indescribable feeling welled up in his heart, and the coldness of ignorance in his eyes was even worse.

"Imato ......"

"You should call me, Lady Idobela. ”

replied lightly, with a cold distancing, like a passerby, passing by.

Looking up slightly, she saw the dim and sparse dark clouds of the sky, as if they were, ashes.
