The coup d'état of the eldest prince Fania slowly subsided over time, and most of the officials of the entire court were affected. Dismissals and demotions left many important positions of real power vacant, and Empress Christina had no team of her own, so she promoted the officials of the Angry Waves Department in a big way.

For a time, the motorcade of dismissed officials returning to their hometowns and the motorcade of officials entering the imperial capital to take up new positions became a scenic spot in the city.

The new aristocratic Young Zhuang Reform Society formed a round of attack on the Cross Society, which had been controlling the imperial court, and with the arrival of Viscount Iscoran, Lady Mihir, and Ibur in the imperial capital, the Reform Society formed a trend of rebellion against the Cross Society. And because Meteorite is extremely trusted by the Empress of the Prison Country, it seems that it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the first assistant of the Empire and reorganizes the cabinet in the future.

There was no shortage of new aristocrats who saw the wind and steered the wheel, and there was a mountain of applications to join the Innovation Society.

In contrast to the Renewal Society's entry into the center of the Empire, which erupted in momentum, there was a wail within the Cross Society. They bet heavily on the eldest prince Fania and the second prince Alec, and they invested a lot, thinking that they would make a steady profit and not lose money, but they didn't expect that the second prince Alec was confined to the Crescent Grassland, and there was an army that could not be used.

And the coup d'état of the eldest prince Fania ended in failure.

In the end, it turned out that the empress, who had been in the cold palace for three years, successfully ascended to the throne and was appointed as the empress of the prison country by the recuperating Augustine Great.

Now Empress Christina is in charge of the three pro-armies of the imperial family, and she has the full support of the eldest princess Agatha and the governor of Angry Waves.

Although the Cross Society is not a complete loss, it is still surviving.

So a group of Crucifer bigwigs gathered at the home of Gabril to discuss how to deal with the current situation.

A long table with more than 20 seats.

In the past, it was nicknamed the Imperial Cabinet, and many decisions were made here before they were presented to the Imperial Cabinet.

However, the atmosphere of today's meeting was extremely depressing.

"No more concessions!" An old cabinet minister complained a little angrily: "Today, Millips, the Vice-Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Finance and Taxation, has been demoted and transferred to the Province of Chillenburg, and the new vice-minister is Ibur, the chief of finance and taxation of Fury Waves.

In addition, Viscount Iscoran, who was installed in the Imperial Military Department, Lady Mihir, who was an officer of the Supreme Technology Bureau, and Nishizawa, the deputy chief of the Sheriff's Office of St. Lun.

If we continue to allow Meteorite to install the officials of Angry Waves in the palace, soon the entire Imperial Court will be the government office of Angry Waves, and the cabinet will be replaced by Falling Star and his people.

Gabriel Shousuke, what should we do. ”

Another minister reluctantly said, "What can we do?" Her Royal Highness is the Empress of the Prison Appointed by Her Majesty herself, and she fought a victory in the annals of the Empire in Snowy City, and crushed the rebellion of Fania.

Her prestige and His Majesty's trust are enough for her to do whatever she wants.

Any act we disobey her can be punished by her for participating in the rebellion in Fania. ”

"We're okay right now, because we are still needed to maintain stability in the palace and order in the Empire. Once the incident is over, and the officials of the Angry Waves Department are familiar with their work again, we all have to get out! ”

"We should find a way to meet Your Majesty and let Your Majesty know the current state of the palace. If His Majesty knew that the Empress cultivated cronies in this way, he would definitely come forward to stop it. ”

"But the problem is that only the queen can see His Majesty. You have all seen the fate of Fania's forced entry into His Majesty's bedroom! ”

When the officials couldn't think of a countermeasure and could only complain one by one, Gabril, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Everyone! Do you think that according to Your Majesty's character, after knowing that Her Royal Highness won the Battle of Snow City and put down the rebellion in Fania, she would be appointed as the Empress of the Prison Country? ”

Gabriel's words fell silent in the room.

All of them were ministers who had lived in the court for a long time, and at the slightest suggestion, they immediately thought about what Gabriel was trying to say.

Emperor Augustine had a very tight grip on his power, and he appointed the empress to handle state affairs because the empress had no foundation in the court and could take it back at any time when she wanted to.

And after the Battle of Snow City, especially the Empress put down the rebellion in Fania.

The capital owned by the empress in the court and empire was a subversive change compared to before.

According to the character of Augustine the Great, how could he still appoint the empress to oversee the country, it must be to directly take back all the power and let her return to the palace that belongs to her.

Perverse!

Very abnormal!

Unless......

I thought of the unspeakable possibility.

One official cautiously said, "Gabril is the first assistant...... However, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, the Governor of Meteor, and the Knight of Millscom all confirmed that this order was given by His Majesty personally. ”

Gabriel did not answer.

Another official replied on his behalf: "In the face of interests, anyone can lie." ”

The officials realized that the key to the removal of the queen and the officials of the Angry Waves City had been found.

But what should be done?

Everyone looked at Gabriel together, their eyes full of eagerness and hope.

Gabler was able to calm down and said, "At this time, we had better not do anything. The queen is in the limelight, and we have no chance of winning anything.

The best thing to do is to wait. ”

"However, the meteor is pressing, and if we don't do anything, we will soon be overshadowed by him and his people."

"If you want to empty us, you can't do it in a short time, and he has to face a short-term crisis.

What's going on in the North now? What is the response of the Northern Frontier Corps to the order to move south. ”

An official with the details immediately replied: "The Northern Legion has no objection to the transfer order, and is actively handing over defense with the newly formed Snow Legion." His Highness Sinclair and General Joshur were also afraid that the part of the Northern Legion left in the North would be encroached upon, so they were very cooperative with this transfer.

Thirty-six percent of the north's forces are expected to move to the Tedgar Hills during this move, and the Empire's conscripts will be replenished with the Snow Legions before the end of winter. ”

Gabriel smiled: "The main force of the Northern Legion has all gone to the Tedgar Hills, although the Snow Legion has a part of the foundation of the Northern Legion, but there are too many new recruits. There are empty numbers, and the combat effectiveness is definitely far weaker than the northern legions in the Winter War.

Do you think the Spring War has begun, and the Snow Legion will be able to hold off the attack of the Atlantic Union? ”

The official in charge of military affairs just now replied: "There are many factors that affect the war, and the quality of the troops is a very important one. Especially in the current war, either a peasant is issued a knife or a qualified soldier, and the soldier needs to train for a long time, especially the professional and technical arms.

The Snow Legion was too short to be established and expanded too quickly, and they couldn't stop the attack of the Atlantshire United. ”

Gabryl asked, "What happens if the Snow Legion can't stop the Atshire United?" ”

"It's the situation that the Winter Empire is facing. The army of the Artshire Union broke through the northern defense line, and then quickly passed through the plain area where there was no danger to defend, and directly attacked the imperial capital. ”

Gabler asked again, "Did the Meteorite City Garrison have the ability to defend the imperial capital at that time?" ”

"Nope!" The officer said categorically: "The City Garrison Regiment participated in the Fania Rebellion, and almost all the officers were implicated. Now that the entire city garrison regiment is confined to its own barracks, it is impossible to restore its operational strength without half a year's replenishment and adaptation of officers.

If the Artshire Union is under the Imperial Capital in the Spring War, the City Garrison Legion will not have the ability to defend the Imperial Capital at all. ”

Gabriel asked again, "Who can guard the imperial capital at that time?" ”

The official immediately said excitedly, "Only the Second Prince Alec's Western Legion is undergoing reorganization in the Crescent Oasis. ”

Gablel said, "His Highness Sinclair's Legion of the North...... There are also opportunities. ”

Immediately, the hearts of all the officials became hot again.

Whoever can lead the troops to defend the imperial capital when the Yate legion is under the imperial capital will be able to control the city by force.

When the time comes, you can expose the lies of the Empress, Agatha, and the Falling Star, and become the new emperor of the empire.

And they, the Imperial Ministers who still hold real power, can negotiate with Prince Alec and Emperor Sinclair at this time. Whoever gives the most will assist him to enter the city.

The atmosphere of the meeting improved greatly, and an official patted his ass and said, "Although Meteorite is a capable young man, he is still a little immature compared to Lord Shousuke.

In fact, according to the trend, when Lord Shousuke retires, he still has a great chance to form a cabinet. But he was too anxious......"

"Young people are easy to be impetuous once they are in this position, but they don't know that if they get to this position, one wrong step will be doomed. It's a pity ......."

"And those who quit the Cross and ran to join the Renewal Society, but they didn't know that they were on a sinking ship......

When the bosses of the Cross Society turned on the taunting mode, the Innovation Club was also holding a meeting of important members.

The meeting place is in the villa that Luke has acquired from Agatha.

In the conference room, Luke looked at the subordinates sitting on the left and right, and felt like he was having a meeting in the government hall of Angry Waves.

At this time, Luke had been promoted from viscount to marquis, with the title of "Marquis of Angry Waves", and his fief was the Cape District of Angry Waves City. The Cape District became Luke's private property, and Queen Christina gave it a lot this time.

In addition, Luke was appointed as the commander of the Garrison Corps of the City of St. Lun.

Minister of the Imperial Cabinet.

He is also the Governor of Angry Waves.

At the same time, Luke stepped down from his position as director of the Sixth Secret Service Division of the Secret Service, and at his suggestion, he was succeeded by Thomas, the inspector of the secret intelligence bureau in the Haijiao District of Angry Waves.

The queen does not have her own team, so she relies heavily on Luke and the official system of Angry Waves City behind him, and many positions are not for Luke, but the queen directly asks him: Which official of the Angry Waves City Government Department is the most suitable for this position.

So there is the current scene, Luke's team in the City of Angry Waves has almost moved to the City of Saint-Lun.

Viscount Iscoran, Lady Mihir, Ebur, Cizer, Thomas, Shelley, Pisco, Karina, Jomington, ......

And clear skies.

In the past, Clear Sky did not participate in such meetings, because her opinion was absolutely consistent with that of the meteorite.

But the current clear sky is the clear sky in the awakening, and she is very curious about such a meeting and insists on attending.

And said that he would not talk nonsense in meetings.

"I know I don't want to be found out about your and my little secrets, I just want to see how serious you look at the venue."

Luke promised clear skies, and non-special circumstances, what to do during the awakening was at her disposal.

When you say it, you have to do it.

Luke could only promise Clear Sky to let her come to the meeting.

Clear Sky also promised: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I like to be alone to appreciate your embarrassment." ”

Therefore, the clear sky of the venue is still the same as before, cold and unsmiling, revealing the innocence of scholars.

Everyone in the room looked over, and the secretary, Karina, took notes, and Luke turned his attention away from the sky and focused on the meeting.

"Since something bad happened in the imperial capital in the previous stage, you have the opportunity to come to the palace to serve. I hope that you will continue to uphold the pragmatic attitude of the Government Affairs Department of Angry Waves and complete your work with due diligence.

The empire is now facing many difficulties, Her Royal Highness's authority is not stable, and some of our opponents are in the light, and more in the shadows. Many people were looking at us and coming to the imperial capital in a beautiful way, thinking about how we were kicked out.

If you don't want this to happen, don't get dizzy and do stupid things. ”

The sudden rise of a series of officials in the Angry Waves City in the palace did make many people a little fluttery. Not only did Luke receive a lot of requests for official positions, but he believed that his core subordinates received even more.

The arrogant army will be defeated!

The situation in the imperial court was far from being reaped.

The old bureaucracy will not willingly cede power and interests in its hands, and it will inevitably collude with foreign aid to accumulate strength for a counterattack.

The more they are able to endure now, the greater the power of the counterattack.

That's why Luke seriously beat his capable subordinates at the beginning of the meeting, don't be carried away by the momentary victory.

Viscount Iscollan said: "The Marquis reminded very timely, the destruction of many things begins with the uncontrolled expansion of the self. I propose the establishment of an inspection committee within the Innovation Society to supervise its members and prevent acts that harm the collective interest. ”

Viscount Iscoran was inherently limited by his perception, and his proposals had certain limitations, but it was better to have internal oversight than none at all.

Luke did not add to the proposal that was beyond this time, and agreed: "You are responsible for the establishment of the Internal Inspection Committee...... Next, I have an important matter to discuss with you. ”

What's important?

Officials at the venue speculated on their own.

Is it the war of the North against the Atlantic Union?

Is it a naval battle between the Mighty Waves fleet and the Atlantic Navy?

Is it the production of war materials?

Is it the development of new weapons?

Is it the Rio Civil War?

Is Sinclair? Alec? Duke of Celtic?

The relevant officials gathered their thoughts and the materials they brought to prepare for answering the questions of the Marquis of Meteorite.

However, Luke said, "Her Royal Highness has received a letter from Sky City, and a team of angel visits will arrive in St. Lun City in the near future. ”

At this time, Clear Sky said, "I have also received a letter that the Shining Gold will also send a visiting team to the Holy Lun City. ”

The officials were collectively stunned.

They were unprepared.
