Chapter 683
"... To His Majesty Eckhardt II, the Supreme Emperor of the Empire, and all the adults in the Sky Palace; Byrne has made her choice. From today, Byrne Ten The three generals reunited under the banner of the Golden Lion on the black background of the Torino family;
Loren ·Torino is a round table council, accepting all Knight’s allegiance, and drank the blessings The golden cup;
Byrne’s church witnessed his coronation, and the sacred oath has been made. Please do not question the authority of the Holy Cross in the world, or deny all Byrne Knight attaches great importance to the oath-until the end of his life, Byrne will only offer all his loyalty to him alone;
If the Sky Palace still has a trace of respect and understanding for Byrne, please Byrne’s affairs are handed over to the Byrne people; in this way, Byrne will continue to use iron and blood to prove her loyalty to the empire..."
The Minister of the Seal of the Seal who read here finally couldn’t bear it. He shook his head and placed the letter paper in his hand on the table in front of him, and looked towards the other members of the Imperial Cabinet with the most helpless expression:
"The content below is basically the same as these, as well as about before and after the incident. A summary of the reason... My colleagues, does anyone want to say anything?"
As Metternich's voice fell, the imperial cabinet quickly fell into a dead silence, and the needle fell.
The cabinet ministers on both sides of the long table looked at each other in blank dismay, silent as if there was no wave of stagnant water;
With a sigh, the minister of seal turned his eyes slightly At the end of the long table, Eckhardt II, who was here, was sitting in his seat.
The majestic and looked thoughtful expression makes people wonder what he is thinking.
If His Majesty the Emperor makes a decision, he will definitely not change it. Because of this, he will never speak easily and remain absolutely neutral until a minister or congressman speaks the idea that best suits his mind.
With many years of experience, Metternich is already very familiar with the style of Eckhardt II; the expression of his majesty shows that he has made a decision in his heart.
"They said that Byrne's church had witnessed the coronation of Loren Torino, but Lord Byrne bishop had already been summoned by the Lord during that turmoil!"
The new church The trial Magistrate suddenly opened the mouth and said: "This will be a breakthrough point. We can use this to deny the legitimacy of Loren Torino, let Byrne make more concessions for this, or... force them to choose a new duke. !"
"I don’t want to interrupt you, sir, but you obviously don’t know much about the laws of the empire." Justice Victor Seuss spoke coldly, his sharp eyes made the other person unable to bear to look straight. :
"The Code only stipulates that His Majesty the Supreme Emperor must be crowned by the bishop or Archbishop of the church, but the dukes are not mentioned. It is just a convention."
"If According to your standards, the current Archduke of Arles and the Archon of Eboden also have no bishop-level church members as witnesses, which is equivalent to depriving the three duchy of the legitimacy at the same time!"
"Although I His Excellency has always disliked our Lord Justice, but this time he was right..."
The Minister of Military Affairs Severin Desalion, who has always kept silent in the Imperial Cabinet, suddenly spoke, and hehe sneered. Looked towards the representative of the Holy Cross Church:
"even more how, the Empire is now counting on Byrne to send troops as soon as possible to go to Poy Duchy to fight the fire; at this time, we will add obstacles to them, you guys. How much do people want to see the civil war in the empire?"
"Or the great Holy Cross can bring down the Gospel and Divine Vestige, and kill the centaur thoroughly; or..."
" Lord Severin Dessalion, speak carefully!"
Seeing the Minister of Military Affairs who was still overbearing, Metternich hurriedly scolded: "This is the Imperial Cabinet, and you are also a member of the Imperial Family. Don’t be disrespectful to the church!"
Severin coldly snorted, who was stared at by the Minister of the Seal, sat back on his seat with disdain; his eyes swept across the face of Magistrate from time to time. , Let this cold sweaty church representative trembling with fear, dare not look up.
"Since it is not legally feasible, can we use other means to control the reunified Byrne Duchy?"
Seeing that the church is suppressed, the young minister of finance Suddenly "has confidence," he coughed and said, "As far as I know, although he was crowned as Duke of Byrne, the Scarlet Blood Castle is still in the hands of Charlotte Torino."
"In other words, he does not have his own territory, and he has to rely on the taxes of his vassals to keep everything running; we can set up some special payments and regulations to increase Byrne's tax rate, so that the duke cannot make ends meet. "
"At the same time, Byrne’s most important trading commodities are wine, war horses, armor, and minerals. Increase taxes on these commodities and set up some exclusive purchase shares to increase the number of tributes."
"In this way, it won’t be long before the vassals of Byrne will complain about the new duke; then we will have the means to negotiate with him, and then..."
"Then your whimsical cabinet minister will be torn to pieces by the Imperial Capital's Chamber of Commerce, their behind-the-scenes forces and Byrne's manor owners, and the bankruptcy will be slaughtered by the assassin who visits in the middle of the night. whole family!"
While the chancellor was still talking, a very discordant voice suddenly intervened and interrupted him, and said with an extremely joking tone.
The imperial cabinet ministers present here looked at each other in blank dismay, turning their heads unanimously, looking towards the direction where the sound came from.
Brandon Desalion, who has become the focus of everyone’s attention, is unaware, still tilting his head, and the corners of his mouth are curved like a half-moon:
"For this reason …For the personal safety of you and your family, I sincerely suggest that you don’t go on."
The young chancellor’s face was ugly to the extreme: "Brandon Desalion Your Highness, may I ask...what you just said, is it threatening me?"
"Threat? no no no...how could I threaten you, you are an important cabinet member of my Imperial Father, I will never threaten you."
Brandon stared at him with a smile, his eyes narrowed into two crescents under fiery-red hair: "I'm just reminding you A thing that is likely to happen is purely out of good intentions."
"It is very likely...will happen?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer swallowed saliva and said, his expression even more ugly.
"Oh, by the way...You don’t seem to be very familiar with Loren Torino, are you?" Brandon suddenly showed a face of enlightenment, scratching his head in distress, "Sorry, it’s my fault." , You just forgot about those just now."
"Loren Torino...or my'ex-wizard consultant' is not such a person, I mean he is not so magnanimous-you If you really dare to do this, the chances are basically...um...100%."
"His Royal Highness Brandon Dessalion--!"
Finally scared to death The minister was already slumped in his seat, and the unbearable minister of the seal sternly said: "Please don't let me reiterate the second time, this is the Imperial Cabinet!"
"According to the regulations of the Imperial Cabinet, you There is only the right to be on the sidelines, but no right to speak! Not to mention indulging yourself in such a solemn and solemn occasion!"
"Indulgence?"
Brandon smiled more happily Then, he stood up directly from his seat, propped his hands on the table, and the chancellor on the side shuddered with fright.
Facing the entire imperial cabinet, Brandon’s bright, bloody eyes looked around for a week, revealing white molars:
“There’s better than a group of people discussing what they absolutely do What can't be done, is it a more indulgent scene?"
"Don't be funny, my sires; the Legion of the empire is all gathering on Duanjieshan at the moment, and simply can't do anything about the Boi war;
In addition to trying our best to curry favor with the Byers, where can we go to fool tens of thousands of people willingly to the Great Green Sea to die?"
"As for sanctions and restraints...you obviously I have forgotten what happened in the imperial trial, right? When he was a nobody, he had no fear of you. Now he is the Lord of Gratitude, do you really count on this guy..."
"Quiet——!"
The emperor suddenly said solemnly: "Everyone, go out!"
The cabinet ministers on both sides of the long table looked at each other in Blank dismay, they all bowed to salute and walked away.
Brandon, with a somewhat lost expression, shrugged and walked towards the gate with a nonchalant appearance.
"Except you."
There was a voice behind him, and the smile on the corner of the "shameful prince"'s mouth gradually disappeared and froze in place.
