After many days of impatience, I finally couldn't hold back, and the Prime Minister's tone was also a little tough.
Garcia stood on the steps, looking down at the prime minister in front of him, his eyes were cold.
He had no dissatisfaction with Sarum Bonelli's attitude.
He is not stupid, and he is very clear that in the current situation, the Minas family is his only choice.
However, this choice is the most impossible for him to make!
The reason lies in the queen!
Everyone in the Imperial City knows that they don't like the Queen!
However, even his cronies such as Sarum Bonelli don't know how bad the relationship between him and the queen is!
I once tried to kill Daphne! And Daphne himself seems to have noticed it!
I remember the assassination by the lake on the outskirts of the hunting conference when the father was alive. Daphne had already noticed that incident. But at that time, the father emperor Cantos the Great completely covered up this matter with a more decisive attitude!
At that time, all the maids by the queen's side, whoever knew about it, were all silenced! Even among the Imperial Forest Army, many people were directly washed out because of this incident!
Moreover, he also received a stern warning from his father!
Daphne... She knows it too! She knew she was going to kill her!
The relationship between the two has become an enemy of life and death! Under such circumstances, how could he dare to reuse Daphne's father and brother? !
Although, that woman silently endured the matter, it seems that she did not complain to her father and brother. but…
It's just that that hateful Xiaya actually released the news of Daphne's assassination! Ruined his own affairs!
There is no news of his assassin coming back for a long time, I am afraid that he has already been caught by that Xiaya! When things are revealed, if the hidden danger in Xiaya's heart is also known to this secret, it will be a sharp sword on Garcia's head!
What annoyed him the most was that Charya openly sent someone to escort Daphne back to the imperial capital! !
He tried to kill that woman several times and failed, how could that woman not hate him? If she came back and told her father and brother - then she would break with the Minas family from now on! If you want to use the Minas family to suppress Adric, you don't have to think about it at all!
Therefore, in Garcia's heart, although it is a good move to use the Minas family, this move is absolutely impossible for him to take!
Propping up a family that hates you, what a joke! !
Facing the prime minister who had lost his patience, and facing the prime minister's questioning, Garcia took a deep breath.
The emperor did not answer the Prime Minister's question, but instead threw a cold sentence: "Prime Minister, I just have an idea, and I want to hear what you mean."
"... Your Majesty, please speak." Sarum Bonelli felt the coldness in the emperor's tone, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
"I... want to abolish the queen."
"What?!" The old man suddenly exclaimed, almost staggering to the ground!
※※※
"I said, I want to abolish the queen and establish another..." Garcia looked coldly at the prime minister who was shocked.
"Absolutely not!!" The old prime minister almost shouted in surprise, the old man clenched his hands, and suddenly knelt down, kneeling under the steps, then raised his head high and stared at the emperor: "Your Majesty! !! Never do this!!"
Garcia pursed his lips tightly and looked coldly at the old prime minister kneeling in front of him, with a haze in his eyes.
"The queen is from a famous family, and she is virtuous and virtuous. Why does Your Majesty..." The old prime minister was sweating coldly and was about to tell the difference.
"The queen has no queen. This is the biggest sin." Garcia said coldly: "Marriage for several years, no queen... Just relying on this one, it is also in line to abolish her... "
"No!" The old prime minister interrupted the emperor firmly this time without waiting for the emperor to finish speaking. On his old face, his eyes were surprisingly tough.
No after? !
Salon Bonelli almost vomited blood in his heart! !
Can you blame that woman for the crime of having no queen? All the emperors know the "hobbies" of this emperor's majesty! Married for a few years, he only loves male pets, but not female sex. Under such circumstances, if the queen can give birth to a child, it would be hell! !
All the people in the imperial capital are aware of this matter, and now you are going to abolish the daughter of the Minas family on the charge of "no queen".
King ah king! Do you want to completely anger the Minas family? !
If this is really done like this... Not only will it completely anger the Minas family who could have been attracted, I am afraid it will become the laughing stock of the entire imperial capital! !
If the daughter of the Minas family is abolished like this, then it is a great shame for the Minas family! ! The Duke of Minas has spent his entire life in the military, and has countless disciples and subordinates in the army, completely angering such a family...
And it's still at a time when the imperial power is swaying like this.
Emperor, is his brain broken? !
"Why not." The emperor looked at the prime minister coldly: "I am the emperor of the empire, the supreme power of a country! Do I have to look at other people's faces when I abolish a woman?"
"Yes! Your Majesty is now just to see the faces of others!"
The old prime minister was obviously going out of his way today. He raised his head and looked at the emperor without any hesitation, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "If it was placed in the past, the imperial power would be stable, and the emperor would have more than ten corps of the Central Army in order, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers would be there. Hand, you can do whatever you want! But Your Majesty, do you still need the old minister to tell you more about the current situation?!"
"..." Garcia was a little surprised by the old prime minister's toughness today.
"Please forgive the old minister's false words! But today, even if Your Majesty wants to punish the old minister's sin, I still have to say it - Your Majesty! You can't offend the Minas family now! You can't offend the military!!!"
The muscles on Garcia's face were twisted, the corners of his eyes fluttered, and his breathing was short. After a long time, he finally sat down slowly and took a deep breath: "The queen hates me."
"The queen hates you, but the Minas family doesn't hate you." The old prime minister shook his head.
"I wanted to kill the queen several times." Garcia simply sighed and told his secret: "The queen must hold grudges. In such a situation, how can I dare to use her father and brother..."
The old prime minister stayed for a while.
He knew that the relationship between the emperor and his wife was not good, but he did not expect that the emperor once wanted to kill the queen!
The vengeance of life and death is another matter.
The old man's mind quickly turned his thoughts, thought and thought, and said in a low voice: "Duke Minas is magnanimous, his loyalty to the empire is unquestionable, and... the old duke is a person who does great things, and he must not..."
Seeing the emperor's indifference, the old prime minister sighed in his heart - this young emperor may seem shrewd, but after all, the pattern is not enough, and he is narrow-minded and ruthless...
After pondering for a while, the old prime minister said slowly: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of politicians, there is no personal enmity! When a major event is achieved, a lot of small things must be forgotten... Duke Minas Huan Hai has lived his whole life, he understands this truth."
Garcia's eyes were contradictory, and his face was a little blue: "You... let me think about it."
(Think again... )
The old prime minister sighed and stood up.
The thoughts in his mind turned, this matter, I am afraid that I have to find a way by myself, the emperor and the queen actually have such a big hatred, so if you want to resolve, since the emperor's pattern is not enough, then he has to start from the Duke of Minas.
The old duke lived in the sea all his life, what did he not see? do not understand anything? In the eyes of real great politicians, this personal enmity between sons and daughters is not an insurmountable threshold.
Those who achieve great things must know how to sacrifice and tolerate.
This young emperor... Really, it's too bad!
Thinking of this, the prime minister sighed and was about to retire.
The emperor did not speak, just waved his hand.
But when the old prime minister walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around, the old man's face was complete.
"Your Majesty, a few words, even if you blame me today, or kill me, I still have to say it." The old prime minister took a deep breath and said slowly, "Use the Minas family—you have no other choice! The army of the empire cannot be controlled by only one person! In the end, the founding emperor of the empire cannot tolerate the dominance of the Duke Tulip family!! Moreover, Your Majesty, forgive the sin of the old minister-in the opinion of the old minister, Your Majesty, you are not as good as the founding emperor, His Majesty And Adric, I'm afraid it's not the Duke of Tulip! If Your Majesty is willing to be a nodding emperor in the next few decades, then today, you will naturally be an old minister! If Your Majesty has the heart to do something, then Mi The Nas family is the only choice!"
After speaking, the old man strode out without any hesitation!
※※※
Walking out of the hall, a gust of wind blew, and the old man suddenly felt the cold on his body, and he couldn't help shivering a few times.
It was obviously noon, the sun was shining overhead and the wind was warm, but the old man seemed to be in an ice cellar.
"It's full of holes, it's full of holes..."
The old prime minister's mouth was bitter.
Even though he has the intention to be a famous celebrity, this little emperor is not an easy emperor to serve!
Because of the personal grievances with the queen, he actually committed to assassinate his wife, not to mention that there is a powerful wife standing behind the queen... The dignified imperial supreme, actually did such a mindless act.
Incomplete thing! !
He hurried out of the palace. Outside the palace, his own carriage and guards were waiting. The old prime minister was worried. When he got into the carriage, he stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, the guards were agile and supported the old man.
"Go... Go directly to the Minas Duke's Mansion! Quick!"
The old man just said such a sentence, and suddenly his heart changed, and he changed his words: "No! Go back to the house! Send someone to the palace of the Duke of Minas and send me an invitation, saying that it is my birthday tonight, and the Duke will be invited to the banquet. ."
The steward following the carriage was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "Master, your birthday is next month..."
"Shut up!" The old man suddenly became furious and scolded the old butler who had been with him for many years: "If you want to go, go! What more talk!"
The carriage Xu Xu started, and the old prime minister sat in the carriage, exhausted physically and mentally, and rubbed his forehead vigorously.
(The old fox naturally knew that my birthday was not tonight. I sent the invitation, and he naturally understood my hint! This old man deliberately pretended to keep a low profile. In fact, he was very eager in his heart! Hmph, he already has The heart of recovery, I invite him, he naturally understands my suggestion, he must come to the banquet, and he has to showdown with him tonight... However, if the Minas family is really distracted because of the Queen's affairs, then, also We have to prepare... Alas, the emperor is young, and he is indecisive in doing things. Don't you know that when you do big things, you must be decisive, and you must not hesitate to kill. Political matters, swords and swords, are more dangerous than those on the battlefield... If it is true If you offend the Minas family to death, you have to make a decision, you can't tolerate any kindness!)
Thinking of this, the old prime minister's squinted eyes flashed a gleam of light, he gently opened the car window, and summoned his chief bodyguard.
"Choose a group of people who have the best skills in the mansion and are outside the backyard tonight..."
After giving the light instructions, Lao Zai closed the car window with a stern expression.
That old guy from Minas... If he's a big man, then I'll give my life to let the emperor use him again! But if he shows any resentment tonight... then, he can't be kept!
The little emperor is very aggressive in small things, but he is indecisive in big things, not a big deal! Since you have offended a person to death, then you can either try to solve the hatred, or simply use a ruthless hand to eliminate the trouble! There is no room for such hesitation in political matters! madness!
※※※
Sarum Bonelli's thoughts have never been so complicated as they are today.
If it was according to his original intention, he naturally hoped that the emperor could reactivate the Minas family, divide the forces of the military, stabilize the situation with a balanced approach, and strive for more space for the imperial power.
The state of the empire has become so decadent. He, the prime minister, was chosen by the emperor to be a caregiver, and he was entrusted with important tasks by Garcia. Naturally, he was walking on thin ice and cautiously. Since he officially took power, which day has he not worked hard to plan for this empire? In every matter, as the Prime Minister of the Empire, almost all the burdens, both inside and outside, are all placed on the shoulders of this old man.
Sarumbonelli has always believed that if he wants to restore the former glory of the empire, there must be a strong centralized power to consolidate the imperial power, which is the most important thing he must plan for the little emperor. Only when there is a strong and wise emperor, who has the power in his hand, sweeps away all the thorns, and firmly holds the lifeline of the empire in his hands, can he radically carry out the various improvements to the empire's state in his heart. Only when the power is in hand will it not be restrained or opposed by others.
Although... the old prime minister has seen it clearly, Emperor Garcia is not a suitable material for a wise and powerful emperor.
Relying on the Minas family to divide Adric's forces in the army, so that one family in the army becomes the two competing for the hegemony, and then the emperor has room to exercise balance, or mediate the contradiction between the two, or Provoking two families to fight against each other - this is the way of the emperor. Control the movement of the military in your hands, and then you can prepare the military and wipe out the Quartet.
The Minas family is an important piece of political ideals in Salon Bonelli's mind!
If the Minas family can't be used, then the military will really form a situation of dominance... Although Sarum Bonelli is also sure, General Adric is loyal and upright, and will not give birth to the heart of rebellion against the emperor. But... the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart!
Adrick is loyal now, but that doesn't mean he will always be so loyal! People, if they sit in a high position for a long time, they will inevitably change!
Moreover, even if Adric himself remains unchanged, he naturally has a subordinate of the arrogant soldiers in the army, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have any other thoughts - the authority of the royal family is so depressed, it often leads to some ambitions Coveted home.
If some general in the military has "From the Heart of the Dragon", he will push Adric to rebel...
Even if Adric is really loyal, his temperament will inevitably lead to conflicts with the emperor. At that time, once there is an irreconcilable contradiction, with Adric's power and prestige in the army, if the emperor wants to attack him...
At that time, it was a disaster!
A single family is the only way to get rid of misfortune!
Minas... Minas... I hope the old duke is a real statesman who knows current affairs!
In his heart, the old prime minister really didn't want to do anything cruel to the Minas family.
That's the last step I take when I'm desperate!
You must know that the centipede of the Minas family is dead but not stiff. If you start to eradicate the Minas family, it will inevitably attract the anger and hatred of the old duke's old disciples and disciples in the army.
However, if things really come to the step that I don't want to see... I have to choose to start!
The danger of a Minas family that hates the royal family is too dangerous!
※※※
After waiting in the mansion for a long time, someone in charge of the family finally came back to report: The invitation from the Prime Minister has been delivered, and the Duke of Minas has accepted the invitation. .
Salem Bonelli was slightly certain.
Well, this old man really has a heart for recovery! Don't look at how light he is now, in fact, this old guy is very eager in his heart.
Hmph, I'm not afraid that you have ambitions, but I'm afraid that your heart is still like water!
Since the old duke still has an eager heart, he will have a little more leeway tonight.
The old prime minister made all preparations at home, and even prepared a team of elite warriors from the private army raised in his family. The elite warriors raised in such noble families are only loyal to the family and are the most reliable to use.
By the evening, he had already sent someone to wait at the intersection outside the mansion gate, but after waiting and waiting, the convoy of the old duke was not seen.
After all, Sarumbonelli was a little guilty - he prepared such a murderous meeting tonight, after all, he was guilty, and he was a little suspicious: Could it be that the old duke noticed that he...
Impossible, I prepared all the elite dead men of my own family. The news will never leak out.
The old prime minister finally couldn't hold his breath, and sent two capable confidants to go out to the Duke's Mansion to inquire about news. When the sun gradually went down, the men ran back to report the news.
"Master, we only found out when we arrived at the duke's mansion. Originally, the old duke was about to go out, but just before he went out, he suddenly seemed to be in a hurry and returned to the mansion. Then, the little lord Roddy, suddenly Rush out of the house, and with a hundred and ten elite guard knights, they headed towards the Arc de Triomphe with a gust of wind. We inquired and heard that little Sir Rodi had already taken someone out of the city gate... The entire duke's mansion looks like it's facing a great enemy, and it looks like it's waiting in battle, and even the old duke gave an order to send someone to disperse the chariots and horses of the guests outside the duke's mansion."
When the old prime minister heard this, he wondered - what's going on
What big thing happened in the palace of the Duke of Minas
