In order to facilitate the office, the institutions of the empire are clustered on the Imperial Boulevard, and the short two-kilometer Imperial Boulevard is full of imperial government agencies, and the House of Elders ranks third.

The first is the Imperial Council, which is more than ten meters high and even covers the gate of the Imperial Palace's Qinzheng Palace, throwing shadows into the Imperial Palace.

The second is the headquarters of the Imperial Military Department, which is extremely simple in style, but the orders issued here radiate the entire Imperial Army, and it is the most powerful fist of the Empire.

The third is the Presbyterian Church.

The Council of Elders is a bit like the Zongren Mansion of another world, mainly managing the ruling class of the empire, that is, the nobles large and small. From the fight between the nobles to the trivial disputes, as long as they have something to do with the nobles, they can intervene. It is precisely because this is an aristocratic institution that the royal family cannot intervene in many cases, so the royal family later deliberately established a ceremonial officer, a department with highly repetitive functions and powers, but only responsible for the royal family, to contribute to the ruling power of the royal family.

Standing outside the Presbyterian Church, Rossi took a deep breath, as soon as he stepped through the door of this building, it meant that his identity would change drastically. From an orphan struggling to survive on the border line to a viscount of the Tuhrman Empire, the disparity in identity and status in just a dozen years can make many people stare at them. He tugged at his collar and struggled hard, and Hano half knelt on the ground and shrunk his arms, grabbing the sleeve to wipe the dust off Rosie's calfskin boots and neatly tucking his trouser legs neatly.

Rossi's eyes changed slightly, and he stepped on the steps.

The nobles of the empire were lazy, and most of them were pleasure-loving people, and these people did not have the leisure to come here every day.

After entering the gate, the maid standing in the welcome desk on the left side of the gate immediately smiled and looked at the table in front of her, "Hello, welcome to the Imperial Council of Elders, do you have an appointment?"

Rosie was stunned for a moment, "I'm here to report the succession to the title." ”

A girl raised her head in surprise, glanced at Rosie quickly, and marveled at the youth of this person in her heart, she shook her finger, "The first door on the left side of the second floor is to enter." ”

"Thank you!", nodding in acknowledgment, Rossi stepped on her calfskin boots and made a crisp footstep on the marble floor that reflected the figure. The two girls looked at Rosie's back and whispered in a low voice, and they didn't know whose son-in-law this was, he inherited the title at such a young age, and he was really a good marriage partner. The girl's eyebrows swirled with an inexplicable brilliance, staring at Rossi's back until he disappeared behind the door on the second floor.

Rosie knocked on the door and walked in, the room was small, with file compartments on both walls, piled high with files. An old man with gray hair with eyes is reading a book in the sun. He didn't look up, but rolled his eyes and glanced quickly through the gap between his frame and forehead before straightening up. He didn't stand up, he still sat there, "What's the matter?"

Rosie handed over the canonization book in his hand, "I'm here to report the succession." ”

The old man took the canonization book and glanced at it, and glanced at Rosie again without the slightest surprise, "It turns out that you are the son of the church, and it is a pleasure to meet you." Although he said nice things, he didn't seem very happy. Rosie looked at him quietly, but the old man smiled, took out a blank dossier, copied a copy of the canonization book, and threw it back to Rosie, "It's okay, but the fief will only be canonized after the Council of Elders has discussed it, and you need to submit the family badge to me as soon as possible, I remind you that the family badge is generally not allowed to be changed, you must be careful." You're good to go. ”

Just as Rossi was about to leave the room, the old man said again, "For the sake of your youth, I'll say one more word. This world is very fair, there are gains and losses, and you get the will of Prince Fabio, then ....... Do it well and we'll all watch over you. ”

Rossi paused for a moment, then walked out with a firm stride.

Obviously, this old man should not be in the same group as Prince Fabio, and perhaps not with Prince Heinsy, there is such a neutral aristocratic force in the empire that wanders between the three major powers. They prefer the ancient code of nobility, which is very old-fashioned and unpleasant. These people shout all day long about how the aristocracy should be, how it should be, how it shouldn't be, and everyone doesn't like them. But they do exist, and they have a certain right to speak.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the two aristocratic groups are still unwilling to clean them up, and the wall grass may have a good time on weekdays, but once something happens, they are also the first to be unlucky.

The countless historical lessons of the two worlds taught Rossi that the fate of these nobles must be bad, because no one wants to have something out of their control, especially when something big happens.

The entire Tuhrmann ruling class seemed to be in harmony, the aristocratic group was full of contradictions but could restrain each other, and the struggle for power between the nobility and the royal family was also within a controllable range. But Rossi had a feeling that one day, it would all be overturned, and the flames would burn everything, and that day might be in the near future.

In addition to the inheritance of the noble title to be entered by the Council of Elders, in fact, the ceremonial officer must also be reported, and His Majesty the Emperor must have all the information of the nobles. But it is clear that the two major aristocratic groups did not take this matter to heart. Prince Heinsis once said in private that the royal family is just an alternative to the aristocracy, and in essence, the royal family is also one of the nobles. Aristocrats do not distinguish between large and small, only power and power.

Prince Heinsis never admitted to saying this sentence, because the opposite side of this sentence means that the aristocratic class has lost their reverence for the royal family.

They even thought that the royal family was no longer as powerful as Heinsis and Prince Fabio.

This is a usurpation!

That night, the ceremonial officer came to the door. In addition to the information entered into Rossi, there were also arrangements to teach the etiquette and norms that the nobles of the Rossi Empire should follow. However, the man was cast out by Rossi on the pretext that there was a conflict between the rules and regulations of the Church and the aristocratic rites of the Empire, with Rossi being an apostle first and then a nobleman.

The next day, this matter spread in the imperial capital, and both the Heinsys group and the Fabio group were very appreciative of Rossi's approach.

As far as the matter of slapping the royal family in the face is concerned, everyone likes to hear about it.

Although it is evil to the royal family, it doesn't matter. The promotion of the title and the promotion of the position can be decided by the heads of the two aristocratic groups themselves. According to the grapevine, Prince Fabio even has a canonization book of hereditary marquis in his hands!!

In the next few days, an unexpected person came to visit Rossi.

He is Ricky, a merchant in Lyme City, and after Rossi was promoted to the Viscount of the Empire, he immediately set off for the imperial capital, on the one hand, to congratulate Rossi on his promotion, and on the other hand, to take the initiative to show goodwill and hand over next year's authorization money.

Rossi was no longer the lord who was flooded, he represented the face of the ruling class at this time, and if the small merchants dared to make a voice of resistance to the ruling class of the Empire, the nobles would not mind holding out a finger to crush them.

To Rosie's surprise, Ricky made the business of the fast food franchise very prosperous, and more than 120 businessmen across the country have invested in this unprecedented business, in other words, this represents a gold coin income of more than 300,000 yuan, which is very timely for Rosie, who is extremely short of money at this time.

Ricky was accompanied by two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, one was icy and jade, pure and lovely, with a hint of wit in her coquettishness. The other is charming and charming, and every place exudes seductive charm. These two girls with different temperaments but are all chosen by thousands of people, this is the gift of the Chamber of Commerce to Rosie.

Rosie is a normal man, no, a boy. But after experiencing life and death, he has been able to restrain his desires, especially physical desires. The church forbade marriage, but it was clear that he was not fit to do something inconvenient at this time, and although he was a little moved, he refused Ricky's offer.

"Don't refuse, I heard that you don't have any servants other than Lord Hano, so why don't you let them be your servants? Ricky repeatedly advised, "This is everyone's heart, and you should accept it." ”

Hano's eyes glared at Ricky unkindly, Nima meant to rob Lao Tzu of his job? Ricky directly ignored him and sat aside with a smile.

Rosie thought about it again and again, and finally agreed.

Sometimes gift-giving is not just as simple as giving a gift itself, but represents something very complex.

"Well, I'm reluctant to keep them, but I need to make it clear that I didn't keep them for the same purpose as you and those who come after you. Rosie warned him, "Don't do anything in the future, I don't have that much spare time to play this game with you." ”

"Okay, okay, everything is as you wish. Ricky smiled and bowed, not at all ashamed or angry that he was a man who was dozens of years old and had to salute a teenager, the difference in status and status was a very decent thing for him, at least his words were still of some use in front of Rosie.

"It's a new menu for next year, so I'll find time to find a couple of smart chefs to come to me and I'll teach them. ”

"Yes, Lord Viscount!"

The cash income of 300,000 gold coins accelerated the repair work of the church again, and a large number of materials and workers began to work overtime, and the famous painting masters of the imperial capital were busy.

Everything is moving in a good direction.
