Chapter 278: Bistan's Move
Imperial capital of the Coltfi Empire
At this time, the sky of the Coltfi Empire has just revealed a glimmer of light, indicating the arrival of early morning, and people are slowly leaving the warm beds to devote themselves to the busy day of work.
Matthew Ellman, the country's only orthodox emperor, was sitting on the only throne in the palace and watching the Manchu ministers sleepily.
"Who's here today?" the old emperor sat on the throne and looked ahead, because the position of the throne was relatively high, so the position of the other place was not at all, so usually the front could not see the bunch of ministers.
But although everyone thought so in their hearts, no one dared to say so, although this emperor is old, but the residual power is still alive, since the death of Count Kettifen Lawrence, all the military power in the western region has fallen into the hands of Elliot Ehrman, that guy is the eldest son of the old emperor, and falling into his hands is actually equivalent to falling into the hands of the old emperor.
In addition, the military power of the northern region and the imperial city is also all in his hands, and most of the troops are in his hands, and those who have other ideas naturally dare not move.
And the minister on the side, Difoni Rrangel, was also very helpless, anyway, so many people are standing here, how long will it take to read them one by one, don't read it, the emperor has spoken, isn't that his early death?
"Forget it, I can see it myself. Matthew was silent for a while and then spoke, which made Tefoni, who was about to speak, also depressed, but he still bowed out of courtesy.
Matthew didn't look down at the faces of the courtiers, but continued to say to himself: "Why didn't you see Seaburton? What about Seaburon?
Siberton Meda, who was Hilmy's father and the Empire's Chancellor of the Treasury.
"Back to Your Majesty, Duke Maida is still on his way back at the moment, have you forgotten? Duke Maida went to the Biel Empire to talk to Grand Duke Clinton about the wedding of his two daughters and the two sons of Grand Duke Meyda. The regent on the side hurriedly replied.
"Look at my memory. Mathewpi said with a non-smiling smile, and continued to ask, "Which two daughters of Seaburton are here?"
"His Majesty is Joyce Meda, the second daughter of Duke Meda, and the third daughter, Hilmy Meda. ”
"I have an impression of Joyce's girl, but it's Hilmy, I've never seen it before. Matthew Ellman looked puzzled and looked back in thought.
"陛xià. At this time, the clerk on the other side also spoke, "Your Majesty, Miss Hilmy has just come of age, and she will meet her at the spring coming-of-age ceremony next week." ”
"It's a coming-of-age ceremony again. Matthew showed a complaining expression, looking disgusted with such a ceremony, "Four times a year, it's really annoying...... Forget it, let me see how the daughter of the Seaburton family is. ”
"What are the little cubs of the aristocratic family for this year's coming-of-age ceremony?" Matthew glanced at the clerk on the side, also showing a little impatience.
The clerk hurriedly flipped through the paperwork in his hand, and then found the list that had been prepared long ago and read it: "Back to Your Majesty, the second son of Count Kelso, the eldest son of Baron Silia, and the third son of Lord Wrangel. ”
Matthew was stunned when he heard this, then looked at the minister Tivoni Rangel and said, "You guy, you want to take a piece of land from me again." ”
As the heir of a nobleman, he can get a fief when he becomes an adult, and the size of the fief depends on the emperor's preferences.
Generally speaking, the bigger the land, the better, the bigger the land, it naturally reflects the emperor's favor for you, and the benefits are naturally huge, and the emperor loves you, and all the noble ministers will naturally come to you. ”
Matthew gave him a blank look, and Divoni smiled, but Matthew ignored him directly, and continued to ask the clerk: "There are really a lot of them this year, and there are a few more." ”
"Back to His Majesty, there is another person, Lao ...... Son of the Earl of Lawrence. The clerk paused slightly, and then the whole palace fell silent, no one spoke, the silence was terrifying, and even the emperor did not speak, which was naturally because, Count Lawrence, Katephine Lawrence, had died in the war with Biel five years earlier, and his son, Nia Lawrence, was hiding where no one knew at the moment.
And speaking of this Nia Lawrence is a very delicate situation, in fact, everyone in this court knows that the name of the son of this Count Lawrence is Nia Lawrence, including the old emperor, but no one dares to mention it at this time, after all, the superficial work still has to be done.
"Ahem, why don't you speak?" Matthew said with a dry cough and a little dissatisfaction on his face, and everyone was sweating profusely at this time, the clerk on one side was anxiously turning over the notebook in his hand, flipping and flipping, and turning the bottom upside down again, and the regent on the other side, Tefoni, made a slight gesture of covering his stomach, looking as if his stomach hurt but he was holding on, the military minister below looked down at his feet, and the minister of etiquette over there was sorting out his clothes.
Everyone is avoiding the topic.
In the end, it was Matthew Ellman who snorted coldly, and then took out a letter from his sleeve.
"This is what I received before I summoned all of you to the Imperial Capital, and it was sent by that stinky fat man from the Biel Empire. Matthew said that it was a burst of smacking tongue, and what made Matthew call him in this tone was naturally the same emperor guy as him, Marshall Chen, the emperor of Biel, although that guy was fat, but it was a bit unseemly to be directly called a stinky fat man by Matthew Elman.
However, no matter how undignified it is, no one dares to question Matthew, although he is the emperor.
"Marshall, that fat man, said that last month a nobleman killed their empire, Alvin Charles, and ......" Matthew said and looked down, everyone's faces changed with a brush, and this was not over, Matthew paused deliberately before continuing to say the next words, "And the Guardian of the Empire - Carlyle Egbert." ”
"Wow!" At this moment, the whole audience boiled, if it was surprise just now, and at this moment everyone's faces changed dramatically! The imperial generals are certainly worthy of surprise, but the imperial guardians are different! The imperial guardians are the strongest combat power in every empire! To measure the strength and fall of a country is to see whether it can have imperial guardians! Those who can be called imperial guardians are all strong people at the holy level! That is the holy level! This amount is different!
There are only so many people on the entire continent! Carlyle Egbert is one of the top ten paladins! And now he will be directly removed! That is to say, there is one less paladin on the continent from now on!
The impact of this is very huge, and without a paladin in charge, the national power of the Biel Empire will be enough to drop a lot, that is, if you want to annex Biel......
In addition, the fat man also said that the cub of the Lawrence family was only at the seventh level when he killed Carlisle, and Arnokith Riddle and Maren Valodin of the Knight Guild were also present at the time, but Arnokis was defeated and Maren Valodin was captured. ”
Seventh-Order ...... Everyone's faces turned to one side again, the amount of information in the middle is too much, one person here will definitely not be stupid enough to think that Nia Lawrence did it alone, the seventh order against the three holy orders, one was beaten away, one was killed, and the other was captured! He must have other helpers in his hands! And there must be a holy order......
And how many people are there...... This is also a very strict message, if there are too many people, it is absolutely not allowed to be evil, but not many of them think that this Nia Lawrence can be friends with him, the reason is his father, what did he do to kill Alvin Charles?
Everyone had already eaten the information thoroughly, and now all the ministers in the court knew that Kaidiphon Lawrence had been killed by Alvin, and Carlyle was the enemy who had killed his mother! And when it came to the killing of Kaidiphon and Eluo, why did Caidifen not even know about Alvin's appearance, and even the enemy's armament situation was not clear enough, and why did the Dama Province wait for the rescue of the imperial capital......
Everyone here knows and is deeply involved in it, and the Lawrence family was squeezed out of this political circle by their joint efforts!
And now that kid who was just 16 years old didn't know where to bring back a group of unknown helpers, could it be the Knight Association? The 16-year-old Seventh Order is worth the Knight Association...... But he also arrested Maren Valodin, which is unreasonable! Where did this group of strong men come from? It made everyone feel a great headache.
"Now ......" Tefoni on the side looked at the old emperor and asked awkwardly, "Where is that Nia Lawrence?"
"On the way back. Matthew closed his eyes and leaned back slightly, saying, "Someone is dealing with him, but I think you know what to do, how many more people can kill Carlisle Egbert, one Alvin Charles, and how many others can stop him? ”
A minister whispered, "Why don't we send someone to guard the border?"
"What are you doing there?"
"Look for opportunities...... Kill?" the minister said cautiously, he didn't quite know what the emperor's attitude was, this emperor was famously moody, but if he could do it to solve the emperor's heart disease, it would naturally be beneficial, but his temptation was coldly looked at and ridiculed by all the ministers, and a guardian of the empire couldn't help him.
And he is very sensitive to the matter of Kaidifen, as an upright person, Kaidifen's moral reputation is not low, and many people are still very friendly with him, otherwise do you need to be so careful to get rid of him? If the empire's murder of Kaidifen is exposed, it is very likely that a bunch of nobles and the empire will break up, after all, you can kill a Caidifen in a few years, won't it be my turn tomorrow?
"Ah...... Looking at my memory, the question we're discussing today is a coming-of-age ceremony, right? Suddenly, at this time, Matthew Arman's words changed and for some reason it was a coming-of-age ceremony, but the next words made everyone understand, "Trouble is dead, those little guys have to make some trouble every year, and the guards will be a little heavier this year...... Forget it, transfer the entire Imperial City Guard to the Palace Square, the next generation of the Empire, you have to take a good look at our army, right? ”
Everyone was shocked again, and the guards of the entire imperial city fell over...... This is to ......
