Chapter 1084
No one likes the imperial council, but there are many ways to hate it—the one who can’t get in is full of resentment, and they repeatedly question why they want to get in.
This aristocratic assembly that was once set up to collect taxes and enlist the army has gradually become the highest power unit in the empire after 300 years of evolution, integrating administration, law enforcement, legislation, decision-making, etc. A series of power and interest competitions;
Hundreds of aristocrats with "political privileges" gathered together, biting each other for every piece of fat flesh or bone.
Her strengths are known to everyone ——the up-to-go, clear-cut codes, teamwork, methodical...In a sense, the reason why the empire is an empire depends on the imperial parliament’s ability to issue every command of the emperor , And continue to be executed accurately.
Her disadvantages are well known-corruption, indecency, rigidity, and inefficiency... This organ of power that condenses all the real power of the empire except the emperor himself, rejects all changes and seizes every one. Location;
So that every member of the council can find out which chair belongs to his family in the parliament by following the genealogy.
For this power monster, let alone pass a controversial law, that is, a slight change in the position of a certain chair, or a new chair may cause huge waves, several even Dozens of Ancient Family’s open strife and veiled struggle.
Wisdom as Brandon I, heroic as the "Queen of the Dragon", shrewd as Eckhart II... They all have no choice but to make a fuss about this power monster.
This is true for the emperor, and even more so for Metternich Leopold, Minister of the Seal.
Every time he walked into this "sacred hall", he felt as if he had squeezed into his pigpen in his hometown in the East Sackland countryside, and countless Piggy screamed, He yelled, then planted his head into the trough, swallowing pig food mixed with bean dregs and various unnamed coarse grains.
Every time I talk to them, Metternich feels that he is talking to a group of stupid Piggy; and as the minister of the seal, he must talk to them often, and it seems that he is getting stupid every day. .
From the beginning of the entire "Imperial Capital offensive and defensive war" to the present, these imperial capital nobles have almost exposed their timidity, wordlessness, cold blooded and emotionlessness.
When interceding, I can’t wait to kneel down, and if I don’t need help, I try my best to drive them away. When the situation is tense, I hurriedly order them to "fulfil their obligations", turning their faces is faster than turning a book.
The emperor is not there, they seem to really regard themselves as the ruler of the empire; they really think that without the authority of the emperor, they can also order these uncles with military power to bow their heads to themselves, From.
Take a look at the two copies at hand "corresponding to the prohibition of the Duke of Elman, and his army from controlling the important urban defense facilities of Imperial Capital", and "rejecting Byrne Legion's authority to use important military supplies and Imperial Capital's granary" Motion, Metternich felt speechless for a while.
If you don't hand over those city defense facilities to Grand Duke Yuli Wiertz, who is loyal to the empire, wouldn't it be possible to entrust these nobles with their own private soldiers?
Or they thought they could control Byrne's Legion by controlling the logistics. Really, these Knights from the south were so hungry that they didn't dare to condone the soldiers looting in the street and even captured the granary?
Shaking his head, the tired Minister of Seal of the Seal was awakened by the humming noise in his ears, dragging him back from contemplation to reality.
Familiar quarrels and loud yelling make him extremely bored-that is the noise that has been around his ears since he started in politics in his youth, and has never stopped.
"We must order them, control them! Limit them!"
Amidst the humming noise of the great hall of the Sky Dome, an old voice suddenly came to the fore. , The loud voice is comparable to that of the youngster:
"Dear lords and humble servants of the Holy Cross, I don’t need the guards outside to tell me that a group of robbers and villains have appeared in our great capital. , Because I saw the Byrnes and Elmans are coming!"
"These Southern Sirs, and their mountain people and serfs will bring our great Golovin to civilization and nobility. The incarnations of them are used as their stone fortresses and earth-wood shack, showing their rudeness and brutality!"
"Yes. I know someone must be anxious to quibble for them now! Okay, Come on! Let us discuss all day and night what kind of barbarity they have committed!"
The old nobleman with his hair fell out, his eyebrows were gray and his face was full of creases. His back and withered arms swayed up and down with his excited words:
"But before that, we must first order them and make their soldiers obey their innate mission ;"
"We must control them so that these savage and rough people understand that the acknowledge allegiance is in civilization;"
"We must limit their actions to avoid the great Golovin Destroyed by barbarism!"
As his strong words blurted out, one after another burst of cheers broke out in the great hall; shouts and applause, opposition and applause, were endless.
Until a new voice is added.
"This is a crime!"
A young nobleman suddenly interrupted the cheering, standing up against a pair of bloodshot dark circles and a faint face:" Dear adults, we cannot ignore an important fact, that is, these brave warriors from Elman and Byrne defended our Imperial Capital Golovin!"
"Think about it Well, if they didn't exist, could we still sit here so safely, discussing the future of the empire; without their bravery, wouldn't the Azores rush into our city, burn, kill, and plunder? !"
"They protect us, we need them, not turn it over!"
"And what the respected adult was doing just now, he doesn't trust them! No! Trust the brave Byrne Knight and the brave Alemans warriors who have protected us!"
"So I want to give you a suggestion. Look at the top of your head and see the celestial palace where we are. ——She does not belong to Sackland, she belongs to the great Sackland Empire!"
"It is Sackland, Lotaire, Byrne, Alemans, Arles, Boi and Egypt A great country made up of Borden; I suspect that your prejudiced and narrow head can't even hold so many names!"
Listening to the excited cheers behind him and the boos of the same assaults the senses, The face pale young noble clenched his fists in excitement, so that there was a hint of madness in his expression:
"The great country that made up the empire is not only Sackland, our emperor is not only Sack The emperor of the Lan people, our great and civilized imperial council, is naturally also the council of the entire empire, not just Sackland!"
"If our honorable lord doesn’t think so, then Just ask him to lead his family and servants to the front to fight the Azores! If you can’t, please shut up, stand aside, and give this honor to those who belong to it!"
As the youngster's "decisive" words fell, the frothed old nobleman stood up trembling again: "So in the eyes of this young gentleman, these barbaric soldiers should be indulged. Looting and destroying our cities?"
"On the contrary, we should reflect on what caused these brave people to use this dishonest way to obtain what should belong to them!"
"Then we should give them the city defense, give them all our belongings, take the last copper plate of the poor, and hand it over to them begging them to protect our city?"
p>"Wrong! Our rigid and narrow-minded Lord does not seem to realize that protecting the great Imperial Capital from harm is not just our job Responsibility is also their obligation! "
"Obligations due?" I don’t know how the young gentleman is going to persuade these barbaric and rude soldiers and uncles to fulfill their obligations? "
"Although the answer is obvious, I know that your narrow mind can never take this into account-that is, we should accept them and let them become us! "
"Accept them? "
"That's right! Acceptance-set up a few temporary special seats in the imperial parliament, let the honorable Grand Duke Elman and the commander of Byrne Legion, Shanyanbao count participate in the discussion of the parliament! "The young nobles are very excited:
"This way we can bring their army under our control, let the council control their army, manage their logistics and every soldier, and let them truly be loyal to empire! "
"Yes, this is the focus of today! "The young nobles trembled slightly: "We can no longer look at them with stale eyes. On the contrary, we should use more appropriate countermeasures to let them actively join us!" "
"You actually want a group of Gentiles to participate in the council?" ! "
"They are not foreigners, they are members of the Great Empire! "
"They are Barbarian, they are barbarian! "
"And sir, you and your family are being guarded by these Barbarians! "
"How can you expect them to obey the orders of the council?" ! "
"How dare you question the loyalty of these warriors to the empire?" ! "
"You are destroying the tradition of the empire! "
"You are splitting the empire! "
"You......"
"You......"
.................. The quarrels, cheers, roars that shook the entire great hall, Sighing, refuting...noisy noises one after another; no matter how hoarse the court judge in charge of parliamentary order is to maintain order, there is no change.
Everyone is arguing for their own purposes.
Everyone is expressing their own ideas, and everyone is refuting proposals that are different from what they think, or that are not in their own interests...
In the end, what is at first discussing? It doesn’t matter what it is, because everyone is already not in. What everyone cares about is whether their own interests can be extended, protected, or at least not lost in today’s quarrel.
Sit The Minister of the Seal Metternich on the seat just watched with cold eyes, and even has several points of "taking pleasure in other people's misfortune". He has flushed and his throat is hoarse, and he is still doing such useless work as "maintaining order". Justice.
When His Majesty Connold returns, he should almost step down and resign. When the time comes, the task of managing this terrifying pigsty falls on the youngster’s shoulders.
>
Well, let him experience more experience first, just as a warm-up before taking office.
Meternich thought "full of malice".
"Dong! 咚——! Boom——! "
At this moment, a sudden slamming of the door interrupted Metternich’s contemplation and the quarrel in the great hall.
"Boom——! Boom——! Boom——! "
There was another continuous slamming of the door, and the great hall that was silent for a while broke out again like howling wind and torrential rain.
"What's the matter? ! "
"Who has the courage to interrupt us during the meeting?" ! "
"Where are the guards, the guards outside the door, pull them apart and explain the problem, otherwise they will be deprived of their military status and titles! "
"Hurry up and find the Imperial Family guards, and arrest this brave fanatic!" "
"Severe punishment, this kind of behavior must be severely punished, otherwise, where is the imperial majesty?" ! "
"Boom——! Boom——! Boom——! "
In the noisy noise, the looked thoughtful Minister of Seal of the Seal slowly got up, left his seat, and walked towards the door.
"Boom——— ———! ! ! ! "
With a loud noise, the main entrance of the Great Hall of the Sky Palace was forcibly knocked open.
Two figures, one tall and one short, knocked down the Imperial Family guards who wanted to come forward and stop them.地;
And on the steps behind them, there are no less than a dozen fully armed Legion soldiers lying in all directions.
Grand Duke of Allerman Yuli Wirtz, Rocky Mountain Fort count Guy Angelt.
The Duke of Elmand in the black cloak is striding vigorously, his extremely proud and solemn expression gleaming in the silver-gray pupils.
Standing next to the burly rock fort count, is like his guard, following closely from behind, following closely from behind.
The moment two figures appeared, the quarrel in the great hall suddenly abruptly again. Stopped; with a trace of fear and anxiety, dissatisfied but dare not express gaze, the seniors separated like waves in their steps, no one dared to stop their steps.
Until that one has walked They, and the elders who stopped.
"This is the imperial parliament, and we are discussing a series of important issues. "The Secretary of the Seal Metternich smiled and looked at the two fully armed Legion commanders in front of him without fear:
"The two of you here, are there any requests and suggestions to appeal to the Parliament?" "
"There is no request, only a very important piece of information. "Ulrich Wertzleng coldly said:
"We have received a message that the Battle of the Northern Broken Boundary Mountain has ended, and Loren Torino, Duke of Bayern, is leading an elite Knight army southward and arriving In the hinterland of Western Sacrament. "
"The Duke has few troops, but he still cannot easily pass the blockade of the Azores. "Mountain Castle Count smiled unabashedly: "Yes, it's those lands that the Lord Rabbit easily occupy and control because of the inaction of the adults." "
"So I ask you all to approve the opening of the Imperial Capital city gate and prepare to accept the Duke of Byrne into the city! "
