Chapter 2 Take the first step

Seeing that it was ineffective to bring out Gabriel's first assistant, Jomington could only wait patiently, thinking about the predicament brought by the changes in Angry Waves City.

The loss of Angry Waves is not just a blow to the new aristocratic forces.

The rapid rise of the new nobles of the Golden Shield Empire also means that their foundation is unstable. Unlike the old aristocracy, which only wanted to maintain tradition, the new aristocracy's own interests have no history to learn from, and various ideas are in the stage of a hundred schools of thought.

There are radicals who want to overthrow the monarchy; There are those who want to weaken the imperial power; There are those who strengthen the imperial power and attack the aristocracy; There are those who want to integrate into the circle of the old aristocracy and get a hereditary title and inheritance fief for their family......

Moreover, the circle of each new nobleman can be divided into more detailed divisions according to different ideas. At the same time, the people in these circles will jump left and right at any time according to their own interests.

The times have created this group of people who represent advanced ideas, but they don't know which of the countless paths in front of them is the best choice.

The loss of Raging Waves was an extremely heavy blow to the new nobles led by Gabriel. The struggle in the imperial court is turbulent, and if he can't keep his position as first assistant, the cabinet will be reshuffled.

If they fall, it will be difficult for them to come up again.

Now the city of the Angry Waves is obtained by the eldest princess, and although she is therefore suspicious of Augustine the Great, she also gets the ticket to compete for the throne. At the same time, Augustine has a gesture of wooing the meteor, and he can now be said to be the key figure who can determine the future trend of the empire.

Gablill felt the need to ease the tension with Meteorite. At least establish a channel of contact first, and then decide whether it is friend or foe later, and then decide according to the direction of the situation.

Jomington was relieved of his duties because of the incident in Raging Waves, and this time he became the best person to contact Meteor. He is also secretly determined to do things well, and can be reused by Gabriel's first assistant.

Two hours is not a long time, but for those who wait, it is a long ordeal.

Especially if Jomington wasn't sure if he would be able to see the meteorite detective.

Fortunately, when the time came, Luke was woken up by Karina. He stretched his waist and walked down from the upper floor, sat down to drink a cup of coffee, and then leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs to say to Jomington, who stood up and saluted, "Sit down and talk...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was too strict, and it took me a long time to finish the report...... You've been waiting for a while. ”

Jomington looked at Luke, apparently just woken up. But he didn't dare to complain: "The chief inspector has just arrived in the imperial capital, and there must be a lot of official business to deal with. I'm glad to have your summons. ”

"Listen to my secretary, you're no longer Shousuke's chief of staff. Interested in coming to work with me? I have a lot of people here who can fight, and there is a great lack of people like you who have a bit of brains. ”

Jomington didn't expect Luke to solicit himself so unpretentiously and undisguisedly. An idea arose in his head, but was immediately thrown aside by him.

"Thank you Chief Inspector for your appreciation of me. It's just that although I no longer serve as the chief of staff, I still work for the first assistant. This visit is for ......"

Luke interrupted Jomington and said with a smile, "Don't be so busy refusing. Now the internal situation of the imperial court is unpredictable, and the one above may fall at any time, and the one below may soar into the sky at any time.

Smart people will not narrow the road under their feet, and prepare more backhands for themselves in order to face the chaos with ease. ”

Jomington looked at Luke, and his heart was even more shaken.

"Chief Inspector...... In the face of the chaos in the palace, have you prepared a lot of plans? ”

Luke managed his expression and asked rhetorically with a serious face, "Are you testing me?" ”

Jomington knew that he had said something inconsistent with his identity, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Inspector General...... The situation I am facing now and the changes in the court have left me a little confused. I asked the chief inspector for forgiveness for saying the wrong thing. ”

"You're not like me. You can be fired for doing something wrong, and you can start from scratch with a different company. And I, as well as your Shousuke, have no chance to start over once I make a mistake.

I know what Gabriel has sent you for.

Being caught between His Majesty and the eldest princess has already left me in a dilemma, and the fact that only you are here today is enough to explain the situation I am facing. I don't want to have an unnecessary conflict with Shousuke-sama because of the conflict in Angry Waves City.

It's just that in your capacity, I can only express my attitude here. ”

Jomington knew that Gabriel didn't even send a single official official, and that he could get this sentence was already a credit to the Chief Inspector of Meteorite.

"Thanks, Chief Inspector. Gabriel asked me to convey his welcome to you on my behalf, and I hope that the incident in Angry Waves can be properly resolved to the satisfaction of both parties.

At the same time, I wish you a smooth marriage to Princess Dale. ”

Luke smiled and said, "Shousuke speaks so nicely, I'll take him as a sincere blessing."

Now that we're done, let's move on to the topic we just had.

A major reorganization has been carried out up and down the city of Angry Waves, and the office set up in the imperial capital of Angry Waves City must also be adjusted. Although the official position of the commissioner of the city of Angry Waves in the city of Shenglun is not high, it is very important.

I hope that this position will be filled by someone who is familiar with all aspects of the situation in the imperial capital. Does Mr. Jomington have any intention of taking up this position? ”

Jomington didn't expect that Meteor recruited himself not casually, but took out such an important position as soon as he came up.

The commissioner of the city of Angry Waves in the city of Shenglun is the head of all trivial affairs of the general affairs of the city of Angry Waves in the imperial capital. In addition to solving the troubles encountered in business and official affairs for the personnel who came to the imperial capital in Nutao City, they also had the responsibility of repairing the relations between all parties.

According to the economic strength of Angry Waves City, the commissioner in Shenglun City is definitely a fat man who wants money, money, power, and power, and cannot be appointed by an untrustworthy person.

Now that there is a big change in the political arena of Angry Waves City, the original administrative staff in the office of Shenglun City cannot be completely replaced, but the commissioner must be replaced.

It's just that......

Jomington couldn't understand why Chief Inspector Meteor gave him such an important position?

You must know that although you used to be the first assistant staff officer, you are a little out of the scenery of Shenglun City, and in the imperial capital, you have a slightly higher official rank and no real power, and you have to often take the blame. But if he is the commissioner of Angry Waves City in Shenglun City, no matter where he is, he is the god of wealth that others want to tie up.

"Chief Inspector, I don't understand...... How could you entrust me with such an important position. ”

Luke asked Karina to put the letter of appointment on the coffee table in front of Jomington.

"I just said that. I was born in the Imperial Secret Intelligence Bureau, and my subordinates are all intelligence and thugs, and there is no one who is familiar with government affairs and the handling of relations between all parties. You used to be the first assistant staff officer, so you are the perfect candidate. ”

Jomington looked at the appointment letter in front of him and always felt that it was a trap, and his experience in Angry Waves City made him very jealous of the falling star, for fear of accidentally being trapped.

But this position is so tempting!

"Chief Inspector, you, you know that I am Gablell's first man. This position should be related to your core interests. ”

"Do you know what my core interests are?" Luke sneered: "Don't take yourself too seriously, there are too many people like you with Gabriel." Even if you are reactivated by him, the most you can do is return to the position of staff officer.

I use you not expecting you to be faithful to me, or to tell me Shousuke's secrets. It is simply to want the office of Nutao City in the imperial capital to play a better role as a bridge, rather than simply sending money out. ”

The miserable Jomington still couldn't believe that such a good thing could find him.

"I think there should be a lot of people in Angry Waves who can do the job. Just ask Viscount Iscoran and Lady Mihir and they will be sure to recommend the right person for you. ”

"They have referrals and I'm thinking about screening. But when I saw you, I had the idea of letting you do it.

Don't be in such a hurry to refuse, the name is not written on this appointment letter yet. You can take it to Gabriel Shousuke first, listen to his advice, and then figure it out for yourself.

If you want to be this commissioner, just write your name and take office; If you don't want to do it, you can tear it up and throw it in the trash.

All right...... That's all for today's meeting, and the report to the eldest princess has not yet been written.

Shelley, send Jomington out. ”

Shelley stood up: "Please, Mr. Jomington." Put away the appointment letter from the chief inspector of my family, and it is best not to be ignorant. ”

Jomington put the letter of appointment away, stood up and saluted Luke, and was led out by Shelley in a trance.

Getting into the carriage outside, Jomington looked at the big house in the middle that was protected by the Imperial secret agents, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh self-deprecatingly: "You can also deal with it calmly in the face of Shousuke, but you are like a ...... in front of the meteorite A woman who is toyed with in general.

This big whirlpool in the imperial capital court was churned by him, and he didn't know what kind of storm it would set off.

Gabler Shousuke, are you an opponent? ”

……

After Jomington left, 236 Copper Mulberry Avenue didn't welcome a second visitor.

The next day, again, no one visited.

The same was true on the third day.

Chief Inspector Meteorite, who stirred up turmoil in the city of angry waves, and even the whole world, felt as if he had been forgotten when he arrived in the city of St. Lun.

The news that Emperor Augustine the Great wanted to marry Princess Dale to Meteorite dropped rapidly as Meteorite was snubbed. After all, the grace of God is unpredictable, and a word that has not been recorded in any official document cannot represent the true thoughts of the emperor.

Luke is also extremely low-key, not going to see anyone without leaving the door of his home. In addition to dealing with the official documents sent by Angry Waves City, it is to practice combat skills in the backyard.

It's just that although Luke didn't go out, an unexpected incident still caused a lot of shock in the imperial capital.

Vogt Jomington, the former chief of staff of the Imperial Minister, accepted the appointment of the Council of the Angry Waves as the commissioner of the Angry Waves Office in the Holy Lun City.

The appointment and dismissal of a commissioner in the imperial capital was not a big deal, but the meaning behind this appointment and appointment could not help but arouse speculation from all sides of the imperial court.

Everyone believed that the events of Raging Waves had made Meteorite a thorn in the side of the new noble group led by Gabriel Shousuke. But none of them expected that the two sides would reach an understanding so quickly, and the importance of the commissioner of Angry Waves City in Shenglun City showed that this understanding was not an understanding of an ordinary nature.

Sure enough, there was no grudge at all in front of interests, and before Grover's bones were cold, Gabriel Shousuke and Chief Inspector Meteor were there.

Jomington's arrival immediately cemented Gabriel's position as first assistant.

Meteorite is the person of the eldest princess. The eldest princess does not summon the meteorite after it arrives in the imperial capital, and the reverse also represents the eldest princess's trust in the meteorite. Jomington's appointment as commissioner of the city of Angry Waves in the city of St. Lun must have been tacitly approved by the eldest princess.

Gabriel can step on the three boats of the eldest prince, the second prince and the eldest princess, and this balancing technique is not something that ordinary people can play.

Those who were worried about the post of chief assistant to the cabinet had to rest their arms and continue to wait and see how the situation in the palace changed.

Gabler's side was much more relaxed, and the pressure on the eldest princess Agatha was also somewhat relieved after Jomington took office. After all, the wealth that Angry Waves City can bring is there, and even if the empire wants to support another city to replace Angry Waves City, it is not said that it can succeed, but it can succeed...... His Majesty probably can't see it either.

Shousuke has bowed to wealth, and we don't hurry up to drink soup.

So, when Luke's side was deserted, the tulip manor where the eldest princess lived was full of visitors.

At the same time, all parties also appreciated the abilities of this meteorite chief detective.

It is worthy of being the person who can dedicate the entire city of Angry Waves to the eldest princess.

Even if no one greeted him when he arrived in the imperial capital, even if he was snubbed by all parties after arriving in the imperial capital...... The Chief Inspector of Meteorite is still able to take advantage of the small opportunity to make accurate shots from the chaotic situation and turn the passive situation around.

It's just that Augustine the Great seems to be able to calm down, and he still hasn't issued an order to summon the meteorite, thinking about continuing to deal with it coldly. But from the palace, there were rumors that the emperor was going to marry Princess Dai'er to the meteor star, and the emperor frequently summoned Princess Dai'er to dine with him.

He also asked where Princess Dale wanted to live after leaving the palace.

And talked a lot about meteorites.

According to the tradition of the Golden Shield royal family, the prince and princess had to move out of the palace when they reached adulthood. Princess Daile still lives in the palace because she has not yet held a coming-of-age ceremony.

It's just that the royal princess will generally marry outside the city when she becomes an adult, and will not deliberately settle a residence in Shenglun City.

Agatha is one of the few exceptions.

Emperor Augustine asked Princess Dale about this, indicating that he was ready to leave this daughter in the imperial capital.

If the princess does not marry, she is naturally a son-in-law.

This is a great luck for the magnates of the imperial capital. As long as you can marry Princess Dai'er, the whole family can follow suit. As for the news that the Emperor keeps revealing that he wants to marry Princess Daile to the Falling Star......

What the emperor says if he doesn't say it at the court can't be taken seriously, as long as Princess Daile doesn't get married, everyone has a chance.

And this was Augustine the Great's conspiracy, which made the meteorite feel the pressure.

Let others see hope.

"The opportunity to marry Princess Dale is in front of you. If you don't act immediately, Princess Dale may be someone else's. ”
