"Anthony's daughter is still planning to marry little Neo, but his daughter has a bad reputation, you know, almost as long as there is a bird in the crotch of her pants, she can get on her. When I say she's a slut, I'm already complimenting her. Find a way to get her some news and make old Neo disagree with the marriage, Anthony will definitely take the initiative to explain in order to ensure his position in the Heinses group, and then it will be an opportunity. Amelia took a sip from his glass, which was white wine, and he liked the mellow and intense taste, which was much purer than rum.

Andil looked at him, "You mean we're looking for a chance to kill him?"

Amelia looked indifferent, as if he was talking about a trivial matter, instead of murdering the nobles of the empire and the defense officer of the imperial capital. He shrugged his shoulders and took a bite from the coffee table next to him, the crumbs fell on his chest, and he patted it, "Or do you think? Invite him to a meal and then he betrays Heinse? That's the funny idea." ”

"It's not hard to kill him, but you have to take into account Heinsse's revenge. He's definitely going to pounce like a mad dog. ”

"First of all, he has to have evidence. "What can he do without proof? Bite my ass? Don't think he's so great, His Majesty will keep an eye on him." ”

Bartlett pouted, "Keeping an eye on us, too." ”

"But he has to be killed, unless he himself is willing to change positions, but it can't be. ”

Francisco made a suggestion, "Let the Imperial Diet remove him from office, or replace him with a better, but more distant, say, regional tax officer?"

"Would you like to be asked to be the District Tax Officer?"

Francisco stopped talking.

The tax revenue of a province is finally handed over by the regional tax collector to the Imperial Tax Authority, and generally speaking, no more than 20% is tolerated by the ruling class. Don't underestimate these two percent of taxes, a province can collect at least close to 10 million gold coins a year, and two achievements are two million gold coins, maybe a little less, but this is still an astronomical amount.

Almost every minor nobleman was willing to become a district tax collector, and as long as he was able to work for two years, he could save the family's expenses for several lifetimes. Many of the nobles present here have held this position, and a quarter of their family's wealth comes from it.

Compared with the city defense officer, it is a position without oil and water, and the greed for some bounties and military salaries has already come to an end, and he can make 100,000 gold coins a year, which is considered a very capable person.

But everything has two sides, both are relative. The regional tax collector is indeed very good at making money, but that position is far from the center of power in the empire, like an old man who can't hold his urine, and he may be excluded from the inner circle at any time. Once they lose the important presence of the aristocratic group they belong to, they are quickly swept into the garbage heap, where they become moldy and rotten somewhere.

The city defense officer has no oil and water, but this position is the top priority of the imperial capital's defense, the inner city of the imperial capital is in charge of the royal guards, and the outer city is the imperial capital city defense officer. If you want to bring in people from outside the imperial capital, then you can't avoid this position.

The emperor has no city walls, but there will be bunkers in some important strategic locations, dozens of bunkers have turned the outer city of the imperial capital into a huge grinding plate, and if you want to break through, you can only fill it with human lives, unless it is slowly consumed by artillery fire.

Usurpation is not something that can last long, and it often takes a very short time to decide the final victory, and no one has a lot of time to settle those troublesome bunkers.

After listening to so many suggestions, Prince Fabio finally spoke, "Then kill him and send him to the god of the underworld, but there must be no evidence left." He looked at Rossi, "Rosie, I need the power of the Templars. ”

"As you wish, I'll do it well. Rossi couldn't refuse, this was a rare opportunity for him, as long as he succeeded, he would inevitably become an existence like those imperial giants in front of him, holding the lifeblood of some aspect of the country.

"Next issue, we need more and more advanced weapons, and we need someone to contact the treacherous vampire traders in the Federation. Francisco stood up, and he beckoned to Rossi, "Rosie, come here." ”

The two walked to a small conference room next to the hall, closed the door, and Francisco sat on the sofa, looking at Rossi, "You're a** annoying." ”

"I'm annoyed by the fact that you look like you're happy. Rossi rolled her eyes, and Francisco laughed heartlessly.

"I mean it, the head of the Privy Council has gotten a piece of information that is not sure to be true for the time being, and there is a second Son in the Church. ”

Rosie fell silent. In fact, he had a hunch that Archbishop Rhodian had not left the church's headquarters in Greenland for more than ten years, and that he had left once when the obscenity case occurred, and then another archbishop who had appeared on the cover of the Federal Storm magazine disappeared. Rodean's importance to the Church is comparable to that of His Holiness the Pope, and if His Majesty dies or has an accident, the next Pope will be Rodean. It can be said that he is the crown prince of the church organization, and the only prince.

Rosie realized that the child was not simple, but he didn't expect it to be the Holy Son.

The importance of the Son to the Church is self-evident, and it can be said that in the previous period when the Church was not in decline, every pope was appointed by the Son. The strength of the Holy Son lies in the fact that he can quickly accumulate holy power, and each divine technique can exert the strongest power, and he is the most special existence among the apostles, and he is a mortal who is loved by the gods. In the Church, the Son is believed to be the doppelganger of the gods walking on the earth, and is the spokesman of the gods.

The reason why Rossi was able to act according to his own ideas recklessly had a lot to do with his identity as a pseudo-saint. Knowing that what he was doing was contrary to the traditions of the Church, the diehards could only talk about him instead of interfering with him, and in addition to the will of the Pope, his identity as a Son also played a decisive role.

But now, the church has another Son.

He suddenly thought of the guy trapped in the black hole in the deepest part of the universe, was it his ghost?

"You look really happy?", Rossi sarcastically said Francisco.

Francisco nodded and admitted, "I'm happy, not only me, everybody's happy." Because only in this way will you stand firmly with us. Rosie, my brother, think about it, and alarm the Son of Rodian and you...... I'm sorry, but I've heard a rumor that the Church doesn't seem to be completely sure of the identity of your Son? You know what? The Pope who has never been present has appeared in the city of Hillland, where the Son is taught. He looked at Rossi, "Have you met the Pope?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Rossi was still stuck in his heart. The Pope is the spiritual leader of the Church, the first person to blame for the Church, and represents the will of the Church as a whole. But he didn't see the Pope, he didn't meet him, he didn't come to see him, and all this was because of the uncertainty of his Son's identity.

But what is it that makes the church so fond of another guy, and how is he different from himself?

Sighing, Rossi said, "I need more power." ”

"That's what I was about to give you, no, the whole noble group decided to give you. Francisco put his arm around Rossi's shoulders and sat down beside him, "There are many prohibitions against the church, one of which is about the restriction of the armed forces of the church, as long as you do these things well, we will agree that your forces can be armed." "It's your armed forces, they can only belong to you, and once they leave your command, the ban will work again." ”

"Which one are you talking about?"

"Equipped with more advanced weapons, including muskets and artillery!"

Dry!

Rosie shook his fist fiercely, believing that the reformers in the church would never refuse this condition. After suffering losses for so many years, they have long understood that the gap in equipment has made the armed forces of the church unable to play their due strength. But they didn't dare to take any chances, because once they started equipping them with hot weapons, they would force the huge machine of the Empire to concentrate its forces against them, even at the cost of losing both.

But now, everything will be different.

No matter how awesome you are? Where are you the Holy Son? The two Holy Son Popes of 300 years ago have become the dust of history?

It's just a holy son, I dare to insult and blaspheme even God, let alone you, a doppelganger of God?

Kainima's joke, I thought I was scared!
