Chapter 493
Sky Dome Palace, Imperial Front Cabinet.
"About the imperial trial in five days..."
The cold-faced Eckhart II suddenly stopped and glanced at his cabinet ministers: "Why, It seems that you have something to say?"
There was dead silence in the solemn room, except for the emperor's knock on the table, there was no sound.
Several cabinet ministers with a little nervous expression looked at each other in blank dismay, and their eyes all turned involuntarily to the two vacant seats...the original cabinet of the "simplified" cabinet, now It is even smaller and pitiful.
"cough cough cough...it is true, my majesty."
The closest seat to Eckhart II's Seal Minister-Metternich Leopold gently Coughing twice, I glanced around at the few cabinet ministers beside me: "I thought...if it was just to interrogate the death of Lord Siscott Charn...it would be too much to use the imperial trial."
"Meternich, what on earth do you want to do?!"
The church's Magistrate trial Terus Lufu's eyes were cold: "We are discussing, but Siscott Charn , Empire count, former Minister of Finance!"
"That Siscott Charn who was still sitting among us a month ago!"
"You said...too Passed?!"
Faced with the reprimand of Magistrate, the slightly frowning Minister Metternich did not refute anything.
"If it's just an ordinary murder case involving the cabinet minister and the empire count, the imperial trial should be the case." Metternich said softly, and his slightly hoarse voice could not hear the joy, anger, sorrow or sorrow:" But because of some reasons as everyone knows...this case has become the source of the recent imperial capital commotion."
"As your majesty’s ministers, we must handle this matter as carefully as possible and riot The danger of riots and riots are in the bud...As for the imperial trial, this kind of fanfare can only further stimulate the emotions of those people."
"We should use a more rational way, not blindly. To comply with everyone's request."
The church tried Magicate coldly snorted, and his expression was very dismissive.
"Sense?"
"Now the entire Imperial Capital's eyes are fixed on Lussac Covo's verdict! At this time you want us to be rational? Mette Nirvana, do you want to watch people rush into the Vault of Heaven and ask your Majesty to give them an explanation?!"
"And as far as I know, there are a lot of'people' you are referring to now They are all playing the banner of the Holy Cross, and even many priests and priests have got involved?"
Meternich’s voice is very soft, like an old man’s muttering when chatting: "Maybe It is our Lord Terras who yearns for justice and the voice of the people, and thinks that the church can already represent the people of the empire."
"Bang--!"
The church tried Magistrate and clapped both hands. At the table, he got up almost and threw himself in front of Metternich!
"Why, the Secretary of the Seal is going to impeach me?!"
Meternity who face doesn't change is slightly nodded, still can't see the joy, anger, sorrow and joy in his eyes.
After a while.
Eckhardt II tapped the table lightly, scarlet's pupils narrowed into a gap, as if thinking.
“So...the opinion of the Church Trial Magistrate is to hold an imperial trial in response to the voice of the people; the Minister of the Seal believes that this case must be handled with caution and low-key."
His Majesty the Emperor lifts the head, there is a strange luster in the red eyes: "It is better to let us listen to Lord Justice Victor Hughes' thoughts, after all... he is the one who really bears the final responsibility."
At that moment, all eyes were on Victor.
The former royal judge, who has long been emotionally invisible, is slightly nodded, with motionless eyes, clear eyes and stiff faces forming the most vivid inverse contrast:
"I disagree with the church I tried Magistrate's statement, but...I agree with him."
Meternity frowned unconsciously and sighed slightly.
"The significance of the death of Lord Siscott Charn has long surpassed the entire case..." Victor looked solemn and his eyes became more and more serious: "More importantly, Lussac Kovo himself is no longer just a matter of this case."
"If this matter is dealt with in a low-key manner, not to mention whether it will be as exciting as the church trial Magistrate said, More importantly, the opportunity that could have established the prestige of the Sackland Empire’s laws and prestige was turned into a private conspiracy deal."
"I am thinking about how to quell the incident. The pursuit of stability is definitely not What a good suggestion."
Victor silently opened the mouth and said: "But I am not against the Secretary of the Seal... Just as Metternich said, to meet the demands of the people at all costs... Absolutely It’s not the right move."
"Of course, there is the most important point... The imperial trial five days later is no longer a secret within Imperial Capital; if you openly regret it at this time... the result will only be even better. Bad!"
"Your Majesty, I do not agree with or oppose the'voice of the people', but this thing from the very beginning. It should not exist in the laws of the empire... it will be affected by external forces. There is absolutely no justice in the courts on the left and right!"
When the voice fell, Victor glanced at the remaining three people.
The Minister of Seal of the Seal and the Church Trial Magistrate, completely remaining unmoved.
As for the former Secretary of State Severin Dessalion... Victor did not hold out any expectations, and no one expected any support from him.
From beginning to end, he only supported His Majesty Eckhardt II.
"A court that is not moved by external forces... is really interesting."
The church trial Magistrate looked at him coldly, with no sarcasm in his tone: "It seems that'justice' is in In your mouth, it has become a more noble and sacred existence."
"The concepts of the two are inherently different. Sometimes the so-called'justice' is not absolute justice, just the majority It's just profit." Victor interrupted him unceremoniously.
"Didn’t agree! If it is not for justice, faith and the voice of the people, what is the meaning of your so-called justice?!"
"Let the people live in a law Rather than an empire ruled by power, law-abiding people can get the power they deserve, and lawbreakers get the punishment they deserve. This is the meaning of'justice'!"
"If this is the case, why do you allow His Royal Highness Brandon’s wizard adviser was collecting evidence everywhere in an attempt to reverse Lussac Kovo’s case?"
The dismissive church trial Magistrate turned his eyes and his face became even more ugly: "Don’t you know The crimes of this man have reached the point where they are inexhaustible and unforgivable?!"
"No one is guilty until the final judgment is set." Victor's voice is low: "There is no even more how." The law clearly stipulates that the prisoner in custody will not allow others to clean him up!"
"Even the entire Imperial Capital people have found him guilty?!"
" Especially all the people in Imperial Capital found him guilty!"
Victor suddenly raised his head: "A court that will be swayed by outside forces...There is absolutely no justice!"
" And if justice is lost...the law of the empire will also lose all the meaning of its existence!"
The two of
giving tit for tat have cold glow in their eyes!
Under the unrelenting gaze of the royal justice, the church trial Magistrate frowned, as if trying to restrain it.
The Minister of the Seal, Metternich Leopold, who sighed in a low voice, looked dim, and glanced slightly at His Majesty the Supreme Emperor beside him.
Eckhardt II crossed his fingers and leaned against the chair blankly.
Meternich frowned slightly, and the anxiety in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Think of the wizard adviser to His Majesty Brandon and the candidate for Chancellor of the Exchequer appointed by His Majesty early... He always feels that this situation today is what His Majesty would like to see.
But for what?
Having a fanfare imperial trial may temporarily calm the public's restless mood, but it will also make the outcome unpredictable... If a judgment is made, there will be no room for relaxation.
Holy Cross Church, the nobles of the conservative faction...Looking at these people who are trying their best to put Lussac Kovo to death, the Minister of the Seal always has one's hair stand on end. A sense of oppression.
These people...all are the staunchest supporters of Crown Prince Connaught.
Could it be that... Your Majesty’s plan is...
"It seems that my cabinet is in favor of the imperial trial."
"Very well, then we Just use this trial... to prove to the people of Sackland the justice of the Ming Emperor country’s laws."
"Since they want to know the result so much..."
" Give them an explanation!"
