"Because the system of the empire is already wrong, ridiculously wrong, and ridiculous!!"

Mondevia's seemingly casual words made an imperial minister like the Duke of Norman couldn't help but be shocked!

If others had said this, I am afraid that they would have been arrested and held accountable in prison a long time ago. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even a big man like him would not dare to say such things easily, but as soon as the emperor himself said this, the weight in it was not something he would say at will.

Even though he was a close minister of His Majesty the Emperor, when he was still a prince, his family was loyal to him and devoted a lot of financial resources and manpower to his throne.

Since His Majesty the Emperor succeeded to the throne, he has also been quite fond of the Norman family, and even after the death of his father, the last Norman Marquis, he even named himself the honor of duke! Looking at the whole empire, there are non-royal members with the position of duke, I am afraid that they can be counted on one hand!

Even so, when the Norman Duke heard His Majesty the Emperor say this, he still chose to keep his mouth shut.

"The empire has been planted since the founding of the country hundreds of years! This curse is the source of the disputes of the Bright Empire for hundreds of years, Macedonia in the west and Isby in the north, all of which have risen because of the internal instability of the empire!

The biggest mistake of the empire was the military system of the province! The governor of a province held the military, political, and financial powers, and it was almost impossible for the central government to suppress them. The hinterland of the empire and the provinces in the east are not counted, but the border areas of the empire such as Moxi Lingbei almost only know the governor but not the empire! What is the difference between such a governor and an independent small empire?"

Mondvia's face was ugly, and her tone was full of mixed emotions:

"You only see the importance of Moxi, but you don't see the arrogance of the Northwest Army! Take that Heru as an example, he has been in charge of the army in Moxi for more than ten years, and he is almost the emperor of the northwest! The central government of the empire spends one or two million military expenses every year to raise troops, and the allocated grain, grass and materials are even more numerous, but as soon as the war starts, what is the result?

Over the past year, Vail has sent me secret messages every half a month. Since the outbreak of the war, all military orders issued by the central government have been set aside by Heru, and military restraint has been almost the result of his own decision-making!

The Norman Duke looked solemn, and when he heard that Montevia IV was a little angry, he thought for a moment and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, don't be too angry, Moxi's illness has been on the empire for a day or two, Heru has been transferred to the imperial capital, and the war has been eliminated. Even though the power of the Moxi Army is still there, as long as Heru does not die for a day, those guys in the Moxi Army may not dare to rebel.

Now that Lord Sistine has also been appointed as Moxi's special envoy, presumably as long as he is careful about it, Moxi will not be able to mess up. After all, the most tricky thing in Moxi is only those generals of the Northwest Army, as long as they are stabilized, Western Xinjiang can be stabilized. ”

"Military system, military system ......"

Mondevideo IV clenched one hand into a fist, the back of his hand lightly buckled on the table, and muttered for a moment before he said slowly:

"Norman, your family has been loyal to the royal family since the first emperor, and since I succeeded to the throne, I have always regarded you as a confidant. Now that the empire is suffering from internal and external troubles, I look at the entire empire, and the only noble forces I can trust are you.

Although I know that you have something to do with the Ellios family, it has not affected my trust in you in the slightest......!

When Norman heard this, he was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but have already prostrate himself, almost lying on the ground, cold sweat on his face, and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty...... Your favor and trust, my Norman family never dare to forget, I have been by His Majesty's side since I entered the palace at the age of sixteen. For more than 20 years, the family has always been loyal to His Majesty and the Empire, and Norman never dared to forget His Majesty's support and trust in me and the family!"

Mondevia IV squinted, his eyes narrowly swept over the Norman Duke who was kneeling on the ground, and after a long time, the essence in his eyes gradually faded:

"You don't have to be so nervous, I naturally know your loyalty. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have single-handedly lifted you up all these years...... Speaking of which, Perry has been in Moxi for more than a year, right? When Su Ya was recalled this time, I also asked him to come back.

This time, Moxi can be regarded as a victory, defeating Macedonia's Barcelus. I've already thought about it, when Perry returns to the imperial capital, I'll let him join the Imperial Guards and become a battalion officer!

When the Norman Duke heard this, his expression suddenly became more and more respectful, and he said in a low voice:

"I asked Perry to go to Moxi just to hone this kid. Now that His Majesty is willing to give him such an opportunity, I am naturally extremely willing. ”

When Mondevia heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and he couldn't help patting the Norman Duke on the shoulder, helping him up, and then said slowly:

"Norman, you and I have known each other since childhood, and although we are nominally emperors and vassals, I have always regarded you as friends.

Now that the empire is in trouble, I can only trust you. If you listen to today's words, you just let it rot in your stomach except for this door!

Whether it is Moxi or the Ellios family, they are a thorn in the imperial system, you must know that what I want to change is not a family or a province! Those gods in the east are not very honest......

Duke Norman's expression tightened, and his eyes showed a bit of solemnity: "Your Majesty said ...... Over at the temple?"

Mondevideo IV slowly sat down in his chair, his face was also full of mixed emotions, and he said in a rather stiff tone:

"Yes, the Bright Empire has been established for hundreds of years, and I think that whether it is dealing with the imperial military system or taking power from the localities, it is always just to confront these guys!

Hmph, Empire of Light, Empire of Light, in the name of this 'Temple of Light', how many people still remember the empire of my House of Mondevideo...... The divine power and imperial power have been fighting for hundreds of years, and at this time, it is natural to guard against the actions of the temple. I'll leave this matter to you to deal with, over there in the temple, keep an eye on me......"

When Norman heard this, he immediately thought for a moment, bowed his head and agreed.

Seeing this, Mondevideo nodded with satisfaction: "Since this is the case, then you can go down, there will be attendants to take you out of the palace." For other things, I will discuss it with you again after Su Ya returns to the imperial capital. ”

Norman nodded and withdrew from the palace, and the attendant outside the door was still waiting for him, and when he saw him come out, he respectfully led him away.

Sitting alone at the round table, Mondevia watched the fire on the pure gold candlestick on the table, and suddenly said to the air as if talking to herself: "What do you think of this guy?"

There was only his voice in the empty palace, but when he finished saying this, a figure of a person appeared in the shadows on the side of the hall, and then his somewhat hoarse voice came: "Norman, this person is far from being as simple as it seems. ”

The man seemed to be in darkness all over, and he was standing there alone, but it was almost like air, and if he hadn't suddenly spoken, I'm afraid no one would have noticed the existence of this guy!

"Isn't it easy?" said Mondvia as if he had a smile, "I naturally know this." It's just that now, I can only use him, after all, in the entire empire, I am afraid that the only one who can compete with the Ellios family is his Norman family,...... By the way, you also have to pay more attention to the movements of the temple, so as not to let those gods take advantage of the situation to cause any accidents. ”

"As you wish, Your Majesty......" The mysterious man sighed faintly, like a shadow, and then disappeared into the darkness...... (To be continued.) )
