Canglan City.

"Prime Minister, the situation seems to be a little bad!

The crown prince case did not find out anything, but it was a mess of other things, which were lifted up by the investigation team.

Some problems should be solved, but there are many more problems that cannot be solved at all.

It's just a matter of holding the lid on weekdays, but now it's on the bright side, where does this put the government? ”

The Minister of Finance, the Marquis delgado, said with an indignant expression.

Half of the problems that the Alpha Kingdom can't solve are related to money. Because the government has no money in its pocket, many things that can be handled have also been backlogged.

Now that the lid has been lifted, it has undoubtedly pushed the government into a corner. However, if you want to solve the problem, you have to have money!

"What are you afraid of, isn't it just to lose some face? It's not like you haven't done anything like pretending to be deaf and dumb.

The crown prince has unfortunately passed away, and His Majesty is in a very bad mood now, so let's not go up and get in the way. ”

The Archduke of Newfoundland said with a nonchalant expression.

It seems that the actions of the investigation team have unconsciously affected the government, but who can guarantee that it was Caesar IV's beating on them?

A king, a courtier.

Because of their prestige old guys, Caesar IV was unable to promote his cronies for several years after he succeeded to the throne, and his control over the court was very limited.

No monarch can tolerate the court being out of control for a long time, even if they are the pillars of the kingdom and loyal to the kingdom, and they cannot stand in the way of the king's power.

If it weren't for the danger of the Alpha Kingdom, which needed their old ministers to help support the field, Caesar IV would have been replaced by his own people a long time ago.

It is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and prosperity.

The most important characteristic of the monarch is: forgetfulness!

Now that the situation has stabilized, the king's first thought is to consolidate his royal power. On the basis of this core, everything else can give way.

The case of the crown prince was a major blow to Caesar IV personally, but it was an opportunity on the road to power.

With the help of this investigation, the king's power continued to be extended, and the power of the government was greatly squeezed out.

Once or twice, everyone endured it, after all, the king had just died of his son, and it was time to vent his emotions. I'm afraid that this kind of thing will become endless.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid this can't help us. The investigation team recently set its sights on the Development Bank of the Near East, and if it continues, the military will most likely be implicated.

Just yesterday night, two drunks started a fire during a drunken fight, and the fire quickly spread to the Development Bank of the Near East, which happened to burn down a room of accounts.

The investigation team did not send anyone to the scene to investigate, but found the head of the Development Bank of the Near East in Wangdu, and the two sides had a fierce quarrel.

If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the princess passing by and going over in time to persuade her, the people of the investigation team would almost have a fight with the bank guards at the scene! ”

The Grand Duke of Ephiero said angrily.

In fact, the situation was more serious than he had described, and there was no fight on the spot, in large part because the bureaucrats of the investigation team did not direct the soldiers on patrol, except for the princess's persuasion.

In the past, the investigation team was able to be invincible, and that was because of the cooperation of the royal capital garrison. It doesn't matter what kind of force it is, it will be cowardly when it encounters the army.

This time the situation was obviously exceptional, and everyone knew that the Development Bank of the Near East was the property of Marshal Hudson. The orders of the bureaucrats of the investigation team alone were obviously not enough for the royal capital garrison to raid the property of their own marshal.

The mission is a temporary body and does not have the power to mobilize troops. They were willing to accept the command because the king ordered them to cooperate.

I was invincible every time before, but this time I ran into hard stubble, and things suddenly became troublesome.

The most important thing is that this news reaches the ears of Caesar IV, what will he think?

As a member of the royal family, Archduke Ephiero had long realized that Hudson's prestige at home was too high and needed to be suppressed.

But as the military minister of the kingdom, he was against it.

Politically, there is nothing wrong with crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. But the premise is that you have to cross the river and do it, and now you have just started to cross the bridge!

The situation in the northern continent has deteriorated to the point where it has deteriorated. Without Hudson's kind of military strongman to suppress, it is impossible to imagine that the domestic aristocracy will flee.

The current Hudson is not only a marshal who can fight, but also the confidence of the kingdom against foreign races.

It's okay to just take political measures and cut his personal prestige. For such a felony as the murder of the crown prince, you must not put your hat on it, even if it is a suspicion!

Framed and framed, there is no such unstandard. Any big nobleman in the kingdom may have an inside line in the royal family, but the Coslow family cannot.

Before Hudson's rise, the Coslow family, let alone stuffing spies into the royal family, and their core members wanted to defect to the king, which was difficult.

"Don't worry, since Her Royal Highness the Princess was also at the scene at the time, then things won't go out of control.

Although Mitchell is a little impulsive, his brain is not stupid and knows what to do and what not to do.

What's more, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still at the scene, and I think she will truthfully explain the situation to Her Majesty. ”

The Grand Duke of Newfoundland said without changing his face.

This incident will definitely make the king unhappy. Just about to investigate the bank's accounts, a fire broke out unexpectedly, which is too much of a coincidence.

However, the royal family also has a stake in the Development Bank of the Near East, and knows very well that the bank's accounts do not stand up to scrutiny.

Forcibly checking the accounts and putting all the unspoken rules hidden in the dark on the bright side will cause big problems.

Essentially, these problems have been around for a long time, and they are not caused by the Development Bank of the Near East. It's just that because of the convenience brought by the bank, the problem has been concentrated in the past.

Lifting the lid on everyone's joint efforts doesn't mean anything other than bringing down the Development Bank of the Near East.

As Prime Minister of the Kingdom, the Grand Duke of Newfoundland did not see the Development Bank of the Near East as a mere money-making business.

The mere provision of financing to the nobility of the Near East determined that the royal government could not let them fall.

Whether it was a deliberate burning of the accounts or a real accidental fire, Hudson gave an explanation. At this point, it's time to put an end to it.

The Grand Duke of Newfoundland still knew his own king very well, and Caesar IV seemed to have a good temper, but in fact he was a monarch who was good at forbearance.

To be able to keep them for so long is the best proof of that. Under normal circumstances, what king does not add a new face to the court after several years on the throne?

Even if everyone often vetoed his plans because of political discord, for the sake of the overall situation, Caesar IV still endured it and did not have a seizure.

The important ministers of the court who are dangling in front of them every day can tolerate it, let alone the marshal of the kingdom who is thousands of miles away.

……

In the Emerald Palace, as the investigation deepened, Caesar IV gradually felt the pressure. In particular, the indulgence of the major factions in the court to the investigation team made him even more worried.

A lot of times no action is the biggest action.

On the surface, it is to give him the face of the king, but there is a limit to everything, and once the line is crossed, the situation is very different.

It would have been a simple investigation into the crown prince's case, but as the number of people involved has expanded, there is a clear trend of expansion.

These people are all mixed with the crown prince case?

Anyway, Caesar IV didn't believe it, if so many people were involved, let alone kill a lactating crown prince, even if he was a king, it wouldn't take much effort.

"Mitchell, stop these irrelevant cases for now! Next, just focus on the crown prince's case, and transfer the other cases to the government. ”

Caesar IV said with a sigh.

originally wanted to take advantage of the topic to play and take the opportunity to expand his influence in the court, but the old foxes in the court should not fight at all.

Tossing and turning, tossing and turning is all he singing a one-man show. When there is no one to cheer on, no matter how much you perform, it is useless.

Even if the black history of many people is revealed, it is all in the past, and it is not a mistake of principle, it can only implicate a group of small characters.

If he forcibly associated, the removal of the court minister on this ground would deal a major blow to his monarchial prestige.

Now these old ministers in the court are not only the important ministers left by Caesar III, but also have made outstanding contributions in the development of the kingdom, and their prestige is higher than the other.

In the process of the collision of the monarchy's power, now he is still faintly at a disadvantage, and if he really makes trouble, he will only lose both.

It is important to install your own cronies, but only if they do not affect the development of the kingdom.

What's more, retaining the old minister is not exclusive to him alone, and the situation of the brother-in-law next door is similar. In order to maintain the balance and stability of the court, the brothers were very cautious on the issue of substitution.

"Your Majesty, this is the best opportunity for us to intervene in the court, and the evidence in the hands of the investigation team alone can pull many people down.

If we get the accounts in the hands of the Development Bank of the Near East, we will have the control of the bureaucrats in the royal capital, and we will ...... when the time comes."

Before Mitchell could finish speaking, Caesar IV interrupted impatiently waving his hand: "Since the Development Bank of the Near East has announced that the ledger has been burned, then it has been burned.

Even if they could find the ledger they transferred, what would they do?

People insist that it is fake, and if you are framed, it will not end well.

The king can't be against everyone! ”

The hint of gloom between the eyebrows still exposed the unwillingness of Caesar IV. It's just that there is no way, the government has signs of merging with the military, and there are even giants in the royal family who are involved.

There are no eternal friends or foes in politics, and there is a bottom line for all parties to retreat. The burning of the Bank's books is both an explanation and an invisible warning.

Originally, Caesar IV thought that the first person who could not bear it would be the court officials, but he never expected that the investigation team would target the Near East Development Bank and involve Hudson at once.

If other ministers dare to take the lead, he can take advantage of the topic to play and take advantage of the situation to drive people out of the court and replace them with his own.

But the first to come out was the commander of the army on the front line, which made him have to stop early. Otherwise, if Hudson is really pulled down, who will implement the Near East strategy?

In case of loss in the near east, there is a high probability that northern Xinjiang will not escape. At that time, the three provinces of the royal family in the northern Xinjiang, as well as the dowry of the queen's six provinces, will all be exposed to the orcs.

The power struggle is very important, but you can't be a loser! These are all the achievements of his ascension to power, and if he loses it all at once, the political consequences are simply unimaginable.

In addition to his inner reluctance, Caesar IV also doubted the ability of his subordinates.

The loyalty of these teams is indeed high, and the execution ability is not bad, but the biggest problem is that they are too young and have not yet cultivated their political vision.

In particular, when dealing with problems, the line between friend and foe is too clear, ignoring the essence of politics and compromise.

If you go back up, the ancestors of these teams were also important ministers of the kingdom, but they slowly faded out of the court in the change of power.

Now these ministers of the DPRK and China are similar, and after they retreat, they will also need to be silent for decades before the younger generations have the opportunity to return to the center of power again.

Knowing that the king wants to take power, the ministers still dominate the position and do not let go, in addition to the temptation of power, everyone is also forced to do so.

Climbing into the kingdom's decision-making level, they represent not only themselves, but also the families and political allies behind them, who are not allowed to retreat.

Because this step means that in the era of Caesar IV, there is nothing left for these political forces, and they can only wait for the next monarch.

There is no doubt that this will not be tolerated. For their own sake, for the sake of their families and political allies, they must persevere.

Stick to your position for one more day, and the group behind you will be able to share in the political dividends for one more day. As a last resort, everyone will not let go easily.

……

Snow Moon Collar.

The power struggle in the royal capital was thousands of miles away, and Hudson could smell the smoke of gunpowder.

Caesar IV's abrupt withdrawal made him both happy and involuntarily sad.

The king's growth rate is so fast that compared to Caesar IV's performance before he succeeded to the throne, it is simply reborn.

A powerful boss is not a good thing for local powerhouses.

If the king is a little more honest, he can also play in the air. But once the king learns to be patient, many things will not be easy.

Having learned the lesson of this failure, maybe the next time you make a move, it will be the time for the court to change the sky.

The relatively conservative old guys went down and replaced them with a group of newcomers with more radical political positions, and Hudson couldn't predict what would happen next.

"Marshal, I just received news from the prairie that the two camps of the Orc Empire signed an armistice treaty five days ago!

The enemy has a very tight blockade of information, and only a few high-level people know about it. I can't find out the specific content, but I only know that the political system of the Orc Empire has changed greatly.

In addition to the original four royal families, seven new royal families have been added to jointly control the power of the empire.

If nothing else, the position of these seven royal families is prepared for the alliance of the seven clans.

It's just that you were fighting to the death just now, and now you suddenly get together to take over the power of the empire, no matter how you look at it, it feels unreal! ”

Jose said with a slightly excited expression.

In politics, I don't feel important at all, the key is to look at interests.

After the fight, sitting together to discuss national affairs is also a major feature of the Orc Empire.

If a multi-racial country is not strong enough in its heart and clings to hatred, there is only one way to split.

"How to split the subject of the orc empire", Hudson has been studying for several years, and has made more than a dozen plans.

"Got it!

The order was passed down and the troops on the front line were put on higher alert. In the future, there will be more and more border friction between us and the orcs.

Draft an official document for me, detailing the changes in the orc empire, and by the way, make up a theory of the orc threat, and send someone to the royal capital. ”

Hudson ordered without changing his face.

The changes in the Orc Empire are completely expected by everyone. Regardless of whether it is the co-governance of the ten royal families as rumored before, or the current "Four Imperial Families and Seven Royal Family System", it is essentially the same.

At this moment, the orc threat theory is thrown out to divert the attention of all parties, mainly to give everyone a step down to ease the power dispute in the royal capital.

Deep down, Hudson still hates playing politics, and soldiers should not be involved in politics.

It's a pity that there is no way, and when it comes to this position, it will inevitably involve politics. Either actively participate in it, or passively get involved.

But if the performance is slightly poor, all kinds of messy and bad things will come to the door in endlessly.

……

On the prairie, the four royal families and the seven royal families of the Orc Empire gathered in the same tent for the first time for a meeting.

After all, the civil war has just ended, and the atmosphere at the scene is still a little embarrassing. Even if they sit together, the identity of the seven royal families is still slightly lower.

Butzweig's expression was the most complicated, he was originally a member of their royal family, but after a series of battles, he successfully mixed up with the royal throne.

The rest of the royal family were celebrating great political victories, but he couldn't laugh.

The circle of the royal family does not play with the Beamon family, and the circle of the royal family feels that they have surrendered their identity and look out of place in the tent.

"It's rare for everyone to get together, and we won't mention the unpleasantness of the past. In the future, I will work together to develop and grow the great orc empire. ”

The Bear Emperor said with a smile.

If you don't know each other, maybe you will really be deceived by this honest expression, and I really think this thing is an honest person.

"Your Majesty the Bear Emperor, you invited us over today, shouldn't it be just to catch up with the past?"

The Leopard King asked suspiciously.

The civil war has just ended, and it needs a period of détente. Meeting in such a hurry, even if it can be controlled on the face, it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassment in the depths of the heart.

His Royal Highness Leopard laughed, it was just a reminiscence, but I didn't invite you.

I invite everyone to come over today, mainly because the inheritance hall is about to open. This time, the location of the appearance happened to be in my control zone.

After discovering it, I didn't dare to enjoy this benefit, so I simply took advantage of this rare opportunity to invite everyone to come and share the inheritance......"
