Following.

Meet the Hall.

The rare early dynasty made all the officials in the imperial capital breathe a sigh of relief.

Without him, in the past few days, the atmosphere in the imperial capital has been too solemn, and everything that happened is tantamount to a landslide for everyone, and it is a matter of their own safety.

The palace was assassinated, the beast tide in the north city, the rebels in the west city, and a large number of officials disappeared inexplicably.

And I can't see the emperor all day, and I don't know that I think the end of the world is coming.

One by one, these people had been watching for a long time, and if it weren't for the news that Bud had destroyed all the rebels in one blow, I am afraid that people would be even more panicked.

Heaton was on the throne, his face expressionless.

Gozzy made a rare public appearance, standing not far from the throne.

With the imperial tool [Village Rain] hanging on his waist, he looked at His Royal Highness and the ministers with a serious face.

On the left, the minister sat in the seat of the imperial gift, holding a cane in his hand, and his body trembled twice from time to time, which was to try to hold back the cough as much as possible, so as not to lose his honor in front of the palace.

This is the prudence he has cultivated for many years as an official, and the prudence in the face of the emperor.

As a minister, he actually only needs to share the emperor's worries, not to mention that Heaton allows him to swagger and sit at the front of the meeting hall, so naturally he will not blame him for coughing, which is his consciousness as a minister.

However, Heaton looked at Yuri's face and knew that he had not been comfortable in the past two days, and even his ministership was not comfortable.

Because of his old age, his thinking is not as agile as before, and his physical strength cannot support him to deal with government affairs all day long.

But he really wanted to do things for the empire, for the common people.

Because he is an old minister of the previous dynasty, and now the officials of the imperial capital have experienced the exclusion of dissidents from the ministers, plus the remnants of the purge of ministers after Heaton took the throne, no one will beg this superficial minister who His Majesty has pushed out to support the scene.

Uri didn't have the heart to form a party for personal gain, and although Heaton didn't ask him to deal with any important affairs, he always seemed to find things.

However, recently, because most of the officials of the imperial capital could not see Heaton, they could only take a detour from the side, thinking about visiting Yuli to see if they could find anything, which made him even more mentally exhausted.

Next to Yuri was Lan, who was rarely not wearing his favorite white clothes, but in an internal affairs official uniform, and his young face was not like a high-powered internal affairs official, but more like a little student serving Yuri.

The internal affairs officer who is in the same position as Lan is not as casual as Lan, and it must not be said that he is so close to Yuri like Lan.

Position a little further back and arrange the positions neatly.

The status is from high to low, and the position is from front to back.

On the right is the military attaché, but there is no one at the front of the Bud position, so at the front is Najeta, dressed in an imperial military uniform, wearing a cloak that symbolizes the status of the general, and the rope of the [pumpkin] hangs from her shoulder.

In the entire audience hall, except for the palace guards, only Najeta and Gozzi were armed.

Lanna's hidden imperial equipment doesn't count.

Generals are also hierarchical, and each of the military attaches here can be called a general.

Najeta's mother is unquestionably the highest.

Behind him were the other generals of the Guard, also Najeta's men, and then some honorary generals, and then again.

It can be said that half of the people on the right side of the entire hall are Najeta's faction, and it is not a problem to raise their arms and fight with the Wenchen next to them with an order.

In fact, in general, the official system of the empire is extremely redundant, with overlapping responsibilities, chaotic hierarchies, and factional disputes, which are all common problems.

It is different from the lordship system of the Western medieval period as Heaton knows, and it is also different from the official system of various periods in ancient China.

In this world, there are cities, towns, and villages.

Taking the imperial capital as an example, the emperor is the largest county guard, and officials are appointed by the emperor by various ways of promotion such as selection.

However, the responsibilities are chaotic, and the actual power is not much, mainly relying on the post of minister to govern the national government affairs, and the interior minister is more like the minister's deputy, making suggestions or implementing government affairs.

The status of other officials has become low, but they also have their own functions, such as the mayors of the four urban districts, who are great officials in the eyes of ordinary people, but in fact they are not even qualified to participate in the court meeting, and even the garrison does not belong to them.

It seems that the security of the urban area, the property rights of the urban area, and so on are all responsible, but the security is controlled by the security department and the guard, and the rest is also controlled by the internal affairs officer.

This is the duplication of powers, and there are many such officials, who are called officials, but in fact they are a new generation of petty aristocrats who receive salaries.

Outside the imperial capital, an entire area has a county guard set up by the empire, which governs one or several cities and its subordinate towns and villages, and there are also expatriate officials set up by the empire, and the county guard also has the right to set up its own officials, one is a Beijing official, and the other is a retainer with little future.

And there are many cities that are not within the jurisdiction, there will be a separate mayor management, and there is no hierarchy with the so-called county guard, Lan is relying on a female mayor, relying on connections to enter the imperial capital as an official.

It can be said that except for the emperor, ministers, and interior officials, the relationship between the upper echelons is clear and clear, and the other imperial systems are expressed in chaos.

As time passed, Heaton looked at his ministers, his gaze swept over each of them, and he didn't say a word.

Because of the disappearance of colleagues in the past, everyone who was already suspicious, coupled with a weak heart, lowered their heads one by one, sweating coldly, and did not dare to make a sound at all.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more anxious, and some people could even feel their legs go limp.

I didn't dare to quiet the tense atmosphere, but it seemed that the muffled cough was clearer, and every now and then a muffled cough would make everyone's hearts tense, as if they were waiting for the trial.

It is judgment.

The emperor doesn't like to hold court meetings, and every court meeting is a hasty matter and a formality.

This is a well-known thing.

But there are always exceptions.

Every time the emperor doesn't speak and just looks at His Highness's ministers, someone must be unlucky.

This has been happening all the time in the past three years, but this time is different.

In the past, before the so-called judgment came, there were no fewer people in this vast hall, and the court meetings of the past were held as scheduled.

At that time, the hearts of the ministers were more like the teachers on the podium suddenly calling names, and they were talking in their hearts not to call their students.

But this time, the court meeting has not been held for several days, so many things have happened in the imperial capital, and everyone is not blind, colleagues have disappeared inexplicably, and they know with their butts that they were caught by the evil star next to the emperor.

Event!

Even bigger than the death of the minister!

Heaton finally spoke, as if he was afraid that Uri would hold him back, so that before the court meeting began, the important minister would die first.

Unlucky.

It will be unlucky to kill people in the future.

Heaton was respectful of the minister he had chosen to put on the table.

It's not easy for the old man to tremble.

"I must have heard about the military movement of the empire with your news, do you have any suggestions about the rebels?"

As soon as Heaton spoke, the ministers did not wait for the imaginary trial to kill the head, but instead asked about the rebels.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Army is dispatched on the third line, and it really looks down on the rebels, and it will definitely succeed and win!"

Interior Minister Yin Neiz came out and said.

"That's good!"

Heaton nodded with satisfaction, as if he was satisfied with Yinnetz's words, this guy didn't find out anything bad, no wonder he dared to be the first to stand up and reply.

"Go on!"

Heaton leaned slightly to the right, rested his arm on the armrest of the throne, propped his temples with his thumb and forefinger, and tilted his head to wait for the next step.

Yin Neiz was stunned for a second, a trace of cold sweat crossed his back, and he couldn't help but regret in his heart, he shouldn't have stood up first!

"Well... It's all up to Your Majesty, your Holy Wisdom..."

"Go back!"

Heaton's voice instantly became cold, and Yin Neiz couldn't withstand the pressure, and immediately knelt down and crawled back to his position.

Survived!

Yin Neiz forcibly calmed himself, he clearly felt that his heart was beating wildly, and at the same time, he was a little happy and afraid, he judged the situation wrongly, and he had the courage to pat himself at this time!

"Go on!"

Heaton's icy voice once again reached every corner of the Audience Hall.

Yin Neiz is very good except for being useless, he is petty but not as greedy as Yumaz, and he can't bribe, he is mediocre in handling government affairs, but he is not a waste, he likes to pat himself on the back, but not for the sake of being in the position, because he also knows that he will definitely not be able to get the position of minister.

The matter of Yinez Gozqi is very clear, even Yumaz's bite, there is no such person, and Heaton will not kill because of such a petty greed.

Even Heaton suspected that this little greed was made by him to show himself, this is a person similar to Cai Jiu, but slightly less meaningful.

However, after Cai Jiu returned to the imperial capital, as soon as the two compared, it could be seen that the fool must be better mixed.

Heaton was already thinking about whether to kill Cai Jiu.

If he can't do anything to offset Putola's mistakes in this southern counterinsurgency.

The emperor is certainly right!

"Your Majesty, the matter of the rebels, the imperial capital only needs to wait for good news, right now, the most important thing is the turmoil in the hearts of the residents of the imperial capital!"

Yin Da, the internal affairs officer, boldly stepped forward and said tentatively.

The emperor asked the south to suppress the rebellion, but the main purpose was to rebel.

If there is anything to discuss about a matter that will be victorious, the emperor must have meant something, or wanted to elicit something.

Yin Da didn't dare to say it clearly, he turned a small corner, and he vaguely felt that his Emperor Majesty seemed to be a little different.

"Huh?" Heaton raised his eyebrows, what is the situation with this Yin Da?

"The hearts of the people are in turmoil?"

"Where did the hearts of the people come from!"

Heaton retracted his arms and sat up straight, his eyes fixed on Yin Da.

"Yes..."

Before Yin Da could speak, he was interrupted by Heaton.

"Do you know where the Interior Minister of Yumaz is?"

Know!

But it can't be said.

"Gozzi, come on!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Gozqi stood up on the side, his voice loud, in stark contrast to the trembling crowd.

"Yumaz has been arrested and imprisoned for embezzlement and bribery, collusion with rebels!"

"Collusion with the rebels! The Interior Officers of the Reich colluded with the rebels! Here's why! ”

Heaton stood up, his expression resentful, and walked off the stage.

"What about you? There are a lot of people available for the internal affairs officer of Yumaz, is there anyone who can give me an explanation! ”

"Poof!"

Yin Netz in the front row knelt down again, and then everyone behind him also fell down when they saw the situation.

"Larsen!"

Heaton suddenly called out the name of a man, and one of the kneeling House officials in front of him shook.

There were six Imperial Interior Officials.

They are Lan, Yinnetz, Yinda, Yumaz, Larsen, and Bullock.

"Your Majesty!"

Larsen crawled out of the crowd, his tone tinged with a little crying.

"I didn't say it was you, I asked you to assist Gozqi to investigate the rebel spies in the imperial capital, how about it?"

"I want to set up a department to supervise hundreds of officials, what do you think?"

Heaton called out Larsen's name just to knock him out.

In the last few days, he has not been honest, but after all, he has only visited Yuri and has not done anything too out of the ordinary.

In the final analysis, among these six internal affairs officials, except for Lan Du, who is the tallest among the short, the five of them do not have any great merits, and their handling of government affairs is quite orderly.

Eumaz aside, the other four are not too stupid, after all, to be able to do the position of internal affairs officer, what is needed is not only ability, at least in the past three years, they have not done anything that Heaton resents.

And now that he can appear in the audience hall to participate in the court meeting, under the first round of Gozqi's investigation, there must be no major problems.

"Your Majesty..."

"Don't kneel, stand up and say!"

Yin Dagang wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Heaton, and wanted to fight against him.

The kneeling crowd did not move.

"What? Do you want me to beg you? Heaton's voice raised two points.

"Bang la la"

The crowd stood up again.

The military attache camp on the side has been watching the show, and the political system of the empire is more interesting for this point, that is, the court meeting, saying that all the staff are together, but the military attaché cannot speak, unless discussing the affairs of the army.

No, Najeta hugged her arms and watched Heaton's performance with relish.

This is the difference between intimacy and intimacy, and everyone who has been with Heaton for a long time knows what kind of character Heaton is, but Najeta is still more satisfied with Heaton with the face in front of her.

Because Heaton really doesn't look like an emperor in normal times.

However, if Lan knew what Najeta was thinking, he would have to disagree.

The emperor and you must both have good things to say, but it's different from me...

"Governor Lan, you can give a charter tomorrow for this matter, so let's do it first."

Heaton didn't wait for everyone's reply and suggestion, and gave orders directly to Lan.

What, you wouldn't really want to make a suggestion, would you?

As for Lan's charter, that's what I Heaton meant, and I can't let everyone think that I'm Heaton.

"These two things will be handed over to the Interior Officer of Larsen and the Interior Officer of Lan respectively, and the next thing is the aftermath of the war, Yin Da!"

"Wechen is here!"

Yin Da can be regarded as speaking, how does he feel that he is a little targeted.

"The outer city is due to the invasion of the rebels, especially the southern city, because the rebel imperial envoys have caused huge casualties, and you are responsible for the pacification and relief of the civilians!"

"Yes!"

"General Najeta's guards will assist you!"

The current rescue work is done by the Guards, and after Yin Da takes over, the Guards can't just leave and throw half of the mess down.

"Your Majesty!"

"If there is anything going on with the Minister of Uri, just speak up!"

Heaton had returned to his throne, just because he had been sitting for too long, getting up and moving.

"Wechen... Ahem... The minister wants to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown! ”

"Yes, the position of minister is temporarily vacant, and the candidate will be discussed later!"
