After the spring hunt of the New Year's celebrations, a number of important things happened within the empire.

First of all, the Duke of Casa, who had fought in the Northwest War the previous year, was officially canonized as Duke of Ellios, but the young duchess took the initiative to resign from all positions in the affairs of the empire at this time, and applied to His Majesty the Emperor to return to the fiefdom of the southern provinces.

Although this decision came as a surprise, Mondevideo IV quickly agreed to the duchess's request and rewarded the Ellios family with a wealthy county in the province of the East China Sea to join her fiefdom.

This is also the appointment and dismissal of important ministers of the military department in the empire for more than ten years, and the position of the number one leader of the military department has once again been confirmed, and this Norman duke, who is in his forties, has shown a positive attitude after taking office, and shortly after the New Year's celebration, he also openly went to the central fortress to convey the condolences of Montevia IV to several permanent legions in the central region.

However, in the eyes of many people, this move is more like the military boss's arrangement for the dispatch of troops near the imperial capital. At this time, the three-year round of army transfer is about to take place in the autumn of this year, according to the tradition of previous years, the standing corps of the two provinces in the north of Moxi Lingbei need to change the defense with the central fortress, but it is said that after the Sistine Marquis acted as the governor of Moxi, the Northwest Army seems to have shown a negative attitude. At this moment, Norman, as the military minister of the empire, inspected the preparation corps of the central fortress, but it seemed that there was a bit of a sense of deterrence of the Northwest Army.

However, it seems that there is more to this than just the pressure from the west, and it is said that last year, in several wealthy provinces in the south, the royal family ordered a reduction in religious taxes, which caused some dissatisfaction on the part of the temple. Even on such an important occasion as this year's New Year's celebrations, the young Archbishop of the Central Provinces, Leo, did not appear, which some see as an indirect indication from His Majesty the Pope today.

There are also rumors that this year, due to the construction of the war in the northwest and the attrition of the Lingbei army, His Majesty the Emperor intends to continue to reduce the religious taxes of some provinces. Naturally, it was the new War Minister Norman who handled these matters for Montevideo IV, and the Templars did not react, but remained silent.

After all, the Empire of Light has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the people firmly believe in the Temple of Light, and many great nobles and people are loyal believers in the Temple of Light. At least look at the religious offices in the provinces of the Empire, where the citizens and villagers praying are bustling every day at noon and evening, and in many places, the power of the temples is far greater than that of the official Empire.

Therefore, although the nobles in the imperial capital did not have much reaction to the reduction of religious taxes in the southern provinces, there were some complaints about the reduction of religious taxes in the southern provinces, such as the East China Sea Province and several southern provinces, including the central provinces. To those who are devout believers, such an act by the royal family is clearly disrespectful to theocracy. In fact, with the exception of some imperial frontiers in the northwest and Lingbei, there are religious forces in most of the provinces within the Bright Empire.

Therefore, for the change of defense of the legion in the Central Fortress, some nimble guys have considered it, is this matter more or less shocking to the temple? However, such a sensitive topic, even the most daring guys dare not openly mention it, but many high-ranking and nobles of the empire have their own opinions on these matters.

As for the last thing, it is about the latest new Viscount of Sadland in the imperial capital, and it is said that this viscount was in the northwest war and killed a noble prince of the enemy country of Macedonia! It is said that on the spring hunt of this year's New Year's celebration, His Majesty Montevideo IV personally rewarded this young new nobleman, and even overshadowed the commander of this northwestern war, the Duchess of Ellios!

This also made this viscount a famous figure in the imperial capital in recent times. And there is even news that this Viscount, who was promoted by His Majesty the Emperor to the rank of Sadland County Guard and held a military position in the military department, is still an extremely powerful magician!

This made the origin of this Viscount of Sadland a little more mysterious, and many well-informed big families naturally quickly noticed this rising upstart. However, no one could find out the origin of this guy, and even the spies of Montevideo IV only found out that this guy first appeared in people's eyes a year ago. However, considering the identity of this Viscount Sadland's magician, even if he can't find out his origin, I'm afraid it's normal, and Jose's claim to the outside world is that he is a disciple of a traveling magician, so the origin is clean.

In just a few days, there were many people from aristocratic families in the imperial capital who came to visit the inn where Jose was, and many people knew that Jose still lived in Kedian, and even said that his family had a lot of property in the imperial capital, so he could let Jose live in his house temporarily. However, Jose accepted the kindness of these guys one by one, but still kept a certain distance. However, most of these families are small and medium-sized nobles, after all, for a really big family like the Norman family, they will not always maintain their own reserve like these small and medium-sized nobles.

However, Qiao Se has his own thoughts, he is now about to go to the northwest, and the affairs of the imperial capital are almost arranged, and it seems that Su Ya will also leave the imperial capital and return to the southern fiefdom in the near future. Presumably, Mondevia IV will not do anything else with the Ellos family, and so far everything has gone well.

According to the letter of appointment issued by the military department after the spring hunt, Joseph did not plan to stay in the imperial capital for long. Because after getting the mandate, he needs to deal with his affairs in the imperial capital within a month, and then arrive in Valen City in Moxi, complete the handover with the sissy acting governor Sistine, and finally arrive in his fiefdom of Sadrand County.

But fortunately, not long after the end of Qiao Se's spring hunt, a few days after the letter of appointment from the military department arrived, news came one after another about several things that he had not completed in the emperor.
