Chapter 440
"Can you ask Ruben count’s former wizard advisor to tell us about how he set off a noble rebellion in Deep Limburg and took the opportunity to "seize power" ......"
Metene Leopold's voice was low and his bright eyes looked towards black hair wizard; at the same time, the expressions of the remaining five cabinet ministers changed at the same time.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and even the Minister of Military Affairs who had been anxiously beating the handrails had stopped, and his gaze looked towards the black hair wizard a little colder.
Damn...This is not a good sign...
Loren gritted his teeth secretly, clenching his fists with his hands behind his back.
The minister of the seal is trying to set off... if he admits that the entire Deep Limburg is all planned by himself-although in fact it is indeed the case-it is tantamount to putting a label on himself as a "conspirator". It is extremely unfavorable for himself and Brandon;
Why would Brandon want to let a guy who has had a "resume" of helping the lord seize power and has experience as his wizard advisor?
But the reverse is the same. If you force yourself to be washed away, saying that all this is the "wise plan" of Ruben Fried's count... Then not only does it seem very fake, but the cronies of your own count will This kind of plan is ignorant; it also makes oneself look like a villain who likes to shirk responsibility.
Both are the answers Metternich Leopold hopes to get...
The cabinet ministers kept silent and looked directly at their seals. The minister's expression was cold and numb, and his clear eyes seemed to have seen through his essence.
Raising his pupils, Loren spit out two words forcefully:
"Absurd!"
Leopold's eyes lit up, and something emerged A strange look.
"Pa!", the church judge Magistrate who suddenly slapped the table widened his eyes: "Bold, how dare you..."
"Please try Mr. Magistrate to calm down his anger , Let me finish talking." He interrupted in a deep voice, and Loren, who suddenly changed his face, looked towards the frowned judge calmly:
"Also, please, Lord Justice Victor Hughes, for Let me answer a question."
I glanced at the black hair wizard's burning gaze, the slightly startled middle-aged man turned his gaze to the back, and the expressionless Leopold slightly nodded:
"Please speak."
"According to the laws of the empire, are vassals obligated to follow the rule of the prince and defend against foreign enemies when they invade?" Loren calmly opened the mouth and said: "Should it be In the severe winter, relief the poor in the territory?"
Victor Seuss pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "these all are the most basic, and it is also the core requirement of the imperial vassal system."
>
"Thank you for your answer, sir." Bowing to salute the other person, Loren collapsed word by word: "But even these, the nobles of Deep Limburg did not do it!"
"It's even the opposite... As early as when I accompanied Ruben count to Deep Limburg, I was attacked by ogre. In the first month of arrival, not only did the local aristocrats fail to pay attention to count's warnings, but they were still gathering people to fight and fight for land. !"
"Until the arrival of the severe winter, we learned from the elves about the ogre invasion information, it is still the same...and after that, it was Lothar's most severe winter in several years."
"Thousands of poor people were filled with heavy snow, fields were deserted, and corpses everywhere across the field ignored; colluded with castle guards and burned down granaries... until the final plan failed to fly into a rage out of humiliation and gather crowds to rebel !"
Loren relieved, as if I can’t bear to recall these, opened the mouth and said in the calmest tone: "Please forgive me at first for the radical wording, because the information obtained by the Minister of the Seal... Obviously it is It is biased towards'some' people."
tone barely fell, Chancellor of the Exchequer Siscott suddenly coldly snorted, as if dismissing the black hair wizard's answer.
Leopold glanced at him and turned his eyes back to Loren: "So...what did you do in this'rebellion'?"
" The messenger negotiated to verify the land and accounts of Shen Limburg." Loren answered truthfully.
"I don’t think you did this...is this the real reason for the nobles’ rebellion?"
Loren was stunned, staring at the minister of the Seal with wide eyes like incredible , As if completely speechless; the eyes of the five cabinet ministers were different, and they kept going back and forth between the two.
"cough cough cough...that..."
The last imperial wizard advisor, Albert suddenly laughed and coughed twice: "Such a serious question, Loren he It may take some time to think about it. I don’t think there is any need to press it so tightly..."
"In a quarter of an hour, your Majesty’s temporary cabinet meeting will begin; we don’t have time, and he...nor. "
Ruthless interrupted the embarrassed Albert, the clear-eyed Minister of the Seal still stared at the black hair wizard motionless:
"Tell me, Loren · Torino, in When doing what you think is right...Have you considered the consequences of your actions?"
Meternity Leopold’s words echoed in the hall.
Under the gaze of six pairs of eyes with different emotions, the heavy-faced black hair wizard sighed, bent down and bowed to the cabinet ministers in front of him. "
"Because I really didn't expect, you would actually ask this kind of question!"
Six cabinet ministers dumbfounded at the same time.
Deathly silence, Metternich Leopold narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Of the most important qualities of a wizard, the first is rationality...I won't do anything without considering the result."
Get up slowly , Loren, who straightened his back, looked firm, and confronted the six cabinet ministers in front of him: "As a wizard advisor, my first responsibility is to make the most reasonable decision for the people I'm loyal to."
"Ruwen count is like a puppet. All I can do is help him fight for everything that a lord deserves;"
"When the territory is killed, all I can do is help The poor find a way out and collect food from the nobles for relief;"
"The nobles rebelled, what I can do is to unite with the elves and form an alliance on the condition of aid;"
" Although I have a shallow ability, I am still working hard to serve the people I loyal-whether it is Ruben Fried Count or the current Highness Brandon Desalion."
"Why in your mouth I became a shameless who tried to slander the lord, trigger a rebellion to seize power, collude with foreign enemies, and ignore the consequences of my actions?"
"Loren · Torino Your Excellency, this is really a bold approach." The Minister of Seal of the Seal said solemnly: "Are you criticizing me, or the whole Imperial Cabinet's attitude towards you is not fair enough?"
"No, on the contrary, I think you haven’t ordered the guards to drag me away as an arrogant person. It’s fair and tolerant."
The black hair wizard glanced at the cabinet ministers with different expressions around him, and became more convinced. With my own judgment, I also have another level of understanding of what Brandon said before.
"...However, although these aloof and remote, cabinet ministers in power have different attitudes towards you, they are all impossible to make a final decision on you based on their own views..."
"...They will detect you, target you, and even deliberately provoke you... These are their methods; every cabinet minister is a strong Great Sect system that cannot be ignored in the empire and is also qualified The key reason for sitting in that chair..."
"...They have to see your face and the upper limit of your abilities, and carefully distinguish whether they should be enemies or befriend you... Don’t forget, my Excellency the wizard advisor, they don’t care if you can become a wizard advisor; it’s about us, whether the faction named'Second Prince' is qualified to negotiate with them..."
So... from the very beginning, there is no need to please them. This interrogation is only acting, for the person who really has the power to decide everything.
Then you don’t have to continue dealing with them, it’s time to ask for the "protagonist"...
"Please forgive me for the arrogance and rudeness just now; but... Now that you have reached this step, you must have decided on your verdict, right?"
With wide eyes, the black hair wizard looked towards the six people who were stunned:
"I implore you in the imperial cabinet representing the Imperial Supreme, with your power to tell the next..."
"Whether he has become the thirteenth prince of the empire, Brandon Desalion The qualifications of your Royal Highness's wizard advisor?!"
The words fell, and none of the six spoke.
As the black hair wizard expected...no one dares to speak, no one can make this decision.
One minute passed.
"Bang——!"
The door opened and the guards broke into the hall:
"Your Majesty is here——!!!"
Loren lowered his head, finally couldn't help but curled up his mouth.
