Hearing His Majesty the Emperor say this, the officers were very happy in their hearts, and they all smiled and looked forward to what was going on.

"Our days together have not been short, from the defense battle in the early days of the Dark Province to the recent end of this rebellion war, you have been following me in the north and south, and you have not lived a day of peace. I keep all these things in my heart. Speaking of this, His Majesty Cohen sighed: "I also know that my temper is not good, and no one can control it when I get angry, and I have also suffered a lot of grievances."

"Don't say that! Boss┅┅"

"After entering the Holy Capital, I thought about it a lot, and finally decided to be this emperor. Cohen raised his hand to stop the others from interjecting, "Since I am this emperor, I have to be the best, to be the best. But I can't do this alone, you must know that the name of benevolence and righteousness in the Sibian Empire has spread throughout the continent, and the citizens are already tens of millions of people to manage such a huge country, and it is impossible for me to die of exhaustion alone. 」

"Don't worry, your majesty, and us!" the officers shouted, "As long as Your Majesty says a word, we will fight with our lives!"

"It's not that simple. His Majesty Cohen smiled slightly, shook his head slightly, and said, "Although we have taken back the empire by force, we cannot use force to manage an empire!"

Let's put aside our preconceptions and identity differences. His Majesty Cohen put down his glass and shook his fingers with the officers: "In a country, there are poor people, rich people, merchants, and nobles, no matter how many of them they are, no matter how they have been. They are all my people. They all want to live better. Furthermore. We still have government officials, garrisons, troops, aliens, tribes, and they demand salaries, food, clothing, and so on, and we can't solve them by force alone. 」

"And what are we doing in our army?" asked an officer, "aren't we useless?"

"Who says the army is useless? At all times, the army is the foundation of an empire, the guarantee of stability. Even if the officials in the court quarrel all over the world, as long as the army is stable, then the country will maintain basic stability. His Majesty smiled and said, "So, since you're an officer. Your first priority is to maintain the stability of the army, and you must have a firm will not be affected by other factors. In other words, you must not get involved in political disputes in the imperial court. 」

The officers watched Cohen intently, memorizing every word he said.

"The army is a very special existence for the country, when there is no war, people will think that the huge army is a waste of money, but once we reduce the army, when the war happens, we will swallow the consequences. His Majesty the Emperor was kind and pleasant. Talking about national affairs in a common way: "But the people don't see that far, although they are kind. However, it is limited by capacity. And how are we going to deal with the aristocracy and the common people's various remarks?

It was obvious that His Majesty the Emperor's conversation had reached the point, and the officers sitting around him listened intently, not daring to blink their eyes, even those noble officers.

As a noble officer, he had to receive all aspects of education since he was a child, let alone college education before joining the army. This ascension is also influenced by their own family background. And in Cohen's conversation, it seems to bring them important information┅┅Information that no one has told them before.

They did not have much contact with the emperor, and only a few officers met with the emperor during the war, and they did not know each other well. Most people used to be influenced by rumors that the emperor was just an ordinary martial artist, far inferior to the wisdom of the previous emperor. But today, this emperor, known as a "hooligan", brings them a very different feeling.

Yes, he is not the same as the previous emperor, but his charm is not inferior to that of any emperor, and in the speech and demeanor of His Majesty Cohen, there is another imperial demeanor. What's more, when the aristocratic officers looked at His Majesty Cohen, they were not nervous at all, nor did they feel afraid, and they were even attracted to him, and they couldn't help but feel respect.

Even if they were beaten miserably by the emperor just now, they couldn't raise the slightest hatred in their hearts, and many people recalled the situation at the time, and felt that the emperor's appearance was very handsome┅┅ After all, they have been soldiers for so many years, and aristocratic problems such as small family spirit have been diluted a lot.

"Our empire has just been built, and it's still in a state of exploration, which is a challenge, but it's a great thing. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor was in a very good mood, and broke down the government affairs and told everyone: "Normally, why does an empire that has been passed down for more than ten generations decline? It is because the burden is too heavy, and the setting in all aspects is very old, and it is far from satisfying the needs of the people. You can go to the library and look at the changes in government affairs since the establishment of the new empire over the ages, and there will be a great improvement without exception. 」

This is a new thing, and the rogue emperor has begun to show off his knowledge.

"And in the midst of this change, there is always a part of the people's interests that will be affected, there is no doubt about that. But if we look at it from another angle, after a series of changes in the empire, it is the entire people who benefit in the end, including those who have been shocked before. Cohen got to the point, and this is what the aristocratic officers are most concerned about at the moment: "Just like right now, the nobility in the empire is worried about their own interests being attacked, so all kinds of rhetoric comes out, and you are more or less affected. 」

Because they understood that the emperor was not holding him accountable, nor was he ridiculing, the noble officers accepted His Majesty's words with a calm attitude.

"But since we are soldiers, we must have a detached attitude towards political disputes, and the stability and neutrality of the army cannot make things better, but they can ensure that things will not go bad. His Majesty Cohen smiled, "To put it simply, put things on everyone┅┅For example, your family has been removed from office because of a political dispute, but your family still has an officer like you! 」

Because the emperor's words are very clear. The officers were laughing.

"Looks like you've all understood. So let's talk about this promotion. I know you're all in a hurry. Cohen took a sip from his glass, "At present, there are a lot of vacancies in the various systems of the Empire! The students at the Royal Academy are not qualified, so I can only choose some civilian officials among you. No matter what your background is, no matter your family background, I still hope that you can face your new duties with a military mentality┅┅To put it bluntly, don't listen to anyone except my orders!"

Hearing the emperor say this, the officers burst out laughing.

"Yes. You have feelings for the army, and some of you may be reluctant to leave the army, but this is the need of the Empire. We put a lot of thought into the selection of candidates, but it is not a mess. His Majesty the Emperor did not stop the officers from laughing: "And in the days to come, you may work with nobles, or you may be led by officials of commoner origin, how can you adjust your mentality? 」

Speaking of the causes of today's fight, the officers gradually quieted down.

"I myself came from a noble family, because I am a nobleman. So I received a certain education┅┅Of course, an unsuccessful study does not count. Surprisingly. On this question, His Majesty the Emperor said: "The fact that I can lead everyone to recover the empire has a lot to do with my aristocratic status, so I have no prejudices against the aristocratic class. 」

This is very pertinent, and it also speaks to the hearts of noble officers.

"Looking at the commoners, as you know, I am an idle person, and I often run from place to place, and I have seen many things that nobles have never had the opportunity to see in their lives. Cohen was silent for a moment, and then said, "The commoners are miserable, and the nobles may not know that everything you use is stained with the blood and tears of the commoners. I once saw a wine cup made of human bones, and a moment ago it was a living girl┅┅Of course, I don't mean to blame the nobles for this, I just want you to understand that what you have heard, seen, and thought before is not necessarily true. 」

The officers had already listened to it, and even the love was swayed by the emperor's words.

"There is no doubt that the aristocracy has the virtues of the nobility and the commoners have the merits of the plebeians, and there are a great number of good people in both classes. And at the moment, I am surrounded by these wonderful people. After a burst of laughter, His Majesty the Emperor said lightly: "The empire is everyone's empire, I hope that every outstanding talent will be used by me, and I will provide you with a stage to let you shine the brightest┅┅In my eyes, in the eyes of the Ministry of the Interior, whether or not you are a nobleman is not a criterion for judging an official. 」

At this point, Cohen called on a familiar officer: "What do you think?"

"That majesty, I've figured it out, I'll try to get along with the other officials. The honest officer replied, "But the others may not think so." 」

"yes! That's what gives me a headache. Cohen nodded, and continued with the officer's words, "The conflict between nobles and commoners has been around for a long time, and it cannot be resolved overnight. But you will be important officials in the future, and you already have the power to change the situation. A little bit of change, the situation will be eased, and your efforts will give hope to the nobles and commoners, and this is what I want you to do - do you have faith!?"

"Confidence!" replied in unison from the officers around the Emperor.

"But my hope is not only that, that if you do this with an obedient mindset, it will not work very well in the end. His Majesty the Emperor chuckled softly, "There are no perfect people in this world, including me. What I hope most is that you can have more contact with each other, understand each other's strengths, and tolerate each other's shortcomings, only with this mentality, you can do your best. I want you to be united with each other, I want you to trust each other, just as the relationship between me and you is as strong as the relationship between me and you, do you understand, can you do it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the officers shouted in unison, "We can do it!"

"Okay, I'm satisfied, then I won't let you pay for what you just damaged. Wait a minute, you go get new uniforms, and don't put those strange things in your uniforms. His Majesty stood up and raised the glass in his hand: "Cheers!"

"Cheers!" the officers raised their glasses and drank together, their emotions soaring.

The lively atmosphere here obviously affected another group of people. Senior generals of the army. Including the Chancellor. They all discussed military affairs not far from each other. Vitamins. Prince Al Qaida presided over the event, mainly to finalize the promotion of military personnel.

"Looks like Cohen got the matter out. Wei Su smiled slightly: "This kind of thing, whoever appears will have a headache, but the emperor is very handy when he does it. 」

"Uncle Weisu, I want to go too!" Helter grimaced, "They are eating and drinking next to us, but we are going to sit here┅┅"

"Don't let any of you try to slip away, you have to finalize this list of promotions today. The prince walked up. knocked Helt on the head like a son: "You are already a dignified major general, why are you still so playful?"

"I'm a major general! This is already a lieutenant general!" Hailt held his head exaggeratedly and pointed to the general staff officer beside him: "This should be left to him┅┅ He has been talking all day long┅┅"

"Then how much do you think I, the general, should do?" The general staff officer looked at the text in his hand, and he didn't pay attention to Helt, but Martin on the side stood up, and Heert took another slap on the head: "Do I do everything alone?"

"Hehe, don't dare to trouble Grandpa Martin. Helt put on a smiling face and conceded defeat, and he didn't dare to offend any of the elders here: "I do it, can't I do it?"

"You have to work hard, these people will be the most important team of Cohen in the future. The prince sat down. "It took a lot of time for the interior overseers to vacate these positions in the interior system. We must select the right people to enter. Only in this way will Cohen be able to achieve a balance of power with the aristocratic senators, and our decrees will be less resistant. 」

"Uncle, I have a question I want to ask. Helt looked up and said, "Why do you want to maintain the power of the noble senators' faction? they don't have much to do, we can get rid of them!"

"There has to be an order in everything, if we get rid of these people now, there will be a big chaos in the aristocratic class, which will directly affect the people's livelihood in the empire, the empire has just been restored, and the most important thing at the moment is to stabilize it. The prince explained, "Whatever we want and what we want to do, we have to do it step by step, without affecting the stability of the empire."

Helt was not a fool, and of course he knew what the prince meant, so he smiled and nodded.

"Then let's get started!" said the Chief of Staff, "Now that we are discussing the choice of the governor of the province, we need a few steady men, and the merits must be large enough."

Just as the first military discipline supervisor said, within three days, all levels of the Holy Capital were circulating the gossip that His Majesty the Emperor had beaten people, and the more it spread, the more it spread, and finally dozens of causes and consequences were derived. But in any case, the beating of the senior officers is an ironclad fact.

The nobles were a little uneasy, and they learned the truth of the incident through various channels, but the noble officers who returned from the palace were silent about the matter, and most of the officers were forced to rush to the barracks and hide from each other. There were so many officers who served in the military headquarters who could not hide, but as soon as anyone asked them about it, they raised their eyebrows and wanted to draw their swords and duel.

The nobles referred to here are not all the nobles in the Spya Empire, but the nobles who did not contribute much in the war of rebellion, and they accounted for more than half of the total number of nobles. The other nobles, some of whom defected to the Kaida family before the war began, and some who were co-opted by the rebels and then surrendered to the Kaida family, knew that their treatment was not very fluctuating, and there was nothing to fight for. Those who had done their best in the war against the three princes were naturally at peace.

Therefore, these nobles could only bite the bullet and nominate representatives to go to a few princes to find out the situation. What they are most worried about is the current attitude of the emperor, and if His Majesty Cohen is dissatisfied with this part of the nobles this time, then the problem will be big.

"What's so strange about the emperor beating his subordinates? They are military officers, not weak civil officials. The three princes all spoke in unison, and the father and son all replied the same: "Rest assured, all the officers have been beaten, not just the noble ones. Haven't you heard, after being beaten, I still had dinner with the emperor┅┅"

"Yes, Your Highness. The nobleman who inquired about the news smiled and asked cautiously, "But why did the emperor beat someone?"

"Do you really want to know?" Prince Siftah's answer was the simplest: "Why don't you ask the Emperor this? 」

"Why does the Emperor want to beat people?" Prince Rick replied like this: "You should know that it is one of the basic rights of the Emperor to dispose of his subordinates at will, just as nobles can dispose of their servants at will┅┅Of course, we can't expect an explanation for every act of Emperor Luo U V┅┅Can you imagine your cook coming to you and asking you why you want to eat?"

The nobles did not get a clear answer and had to go home in disgrace, but they still had gains, at least knowing that the emperor had beaten all the officers. At the private gatherings that followed, the nobles decided to change their original methods, and decided to adopt a more moderate attitude towards the promotion of their positions before the emperor ascended the throne, and tried to make a good impression in the mind of the emperor.

But this is a problem, because the moderate attitude and the tough attitude are both relative, and even if there is a moderate attitude in the general sense, if there is someone with a milder attitude than them, then the aristocracy is still a hardline┅┅, so the nobles who decide to dress up as moderate are in crisis.

What can be done to make His Majesty the Emperor understand that he is a moderate? The quickest and most convenient way is to find a force with a tougher attitude than his own, and although it is difficult to find, he must also find it! Otherwise, his own interests will not be guaranteed.

The nobles quickly agreed on their opinions, and many ill-intentioned eyes gradually converged on the other group of nobles, those who had surrendered at the final stage of the rebellion. Although they are both nobles, they can't care so much for their own happiness, in a word, they try their best to make these people tough.

If there is a difficulty, there is no difficulty, and if there is no difficulty, there is a difficulty, and it is not true?

The Imperial Interior Overseer and several princes were well aware of the changes in this type of aristocracy, and on the day their "tough plan" was formulated, they held a meeting with His Majesty the Emperor. (To be continued......)
