Realm of Power

“I really missed the mark. I didn’t expect that the Lisbon government would be so strong.”

"It's no wonder. With the support of the First Princess, even important military ministers like Bertrand Bonnie were thrown into the dust and were transferred back to the Imperial Military Affairs Ministry for reflection!" In the streets and alleys of Lisbonto, all kinds of things were going on. There was a lot of discussion. Just one day ago, the First Princess of the Empire visited Lisbon Toto and personally affirmed the achievements of the Lisbon Toto Government in the past few days, rating it as "remarkable achievements".

This is definitely the first outstanding achievement of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs in the past two years. It seems that this outstanding achievement is not as satisfying as excellence, but the word "excellent" represents the recovery and prosperity of all things, and is the scene after the rain on the earth. Zhenghui represents a political officer’s highest recognition of the consular district’s development achievements.

If you look at the last person who received this evaluation, you will know how extraordinary this comment is. The last person who was evaluated as having outstanding achievements by the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs was the former imperial minister Doze who was assassinated by the Feishan people.

Because of Doze's moderate policies in central Gaul, Central Gaul quickly recovered from the war, which became a miracle in the governance of the entire empire's conquered areas at that time. It was in this way that Doze received an outstanding rating from the Ministry of the Interior, and Doze Ze was attacked and killed by Feishan people, which became the trigger for the empire to go to war against Feishan. Three hundred thousand Feishan elite were wiped out by the furious emperor in a battle in the year-round cold mountains of Bavaria. Feishan, which was once considered one of the powerful countries, fell into despair. Not only was it annexed by the empire, but it also It has been neglected for two years, the economy has almost collapsed, and people have been displaced. It is simply miserable.

This shows how much the empire values ​​Doze! And now, there is another "remarkable achievement" for the businessmen in Lisbon. With such comments, the hearts of the businessmen in the Empire tightened. The first thing that flashed in their heads was the tower of more than 20 meters high in the cold wind of Bavaria. The heads were piled up, and the body was trembling. Fortunately, Lord Tiernarant was lucky. Otherwise, if he was assassinated last time because of this, only God knows whether Lisbonto would become the second Bavalid!

The first princess of the empire, Mao Monaqing, left Lisbonto early the next morning and boarded a ship from the port to go north. However, the shock left behind was enough to make the businessmen of Lisbonto start to look at the business that they had not taken seriously before with fearful eyes. Lisbon asked the government, I didn’t expect that Lord Tiernarant had such a big background.

In the front is the emperor's first appointment after the annual meeting, which shocked the imperial capital and supported the imperial military. Behind is the first princess of the empire, completely ignoring the strong protests from the military and coming to praise her in person to support her, even though the previous ones have been criticized time and time again. I was shocked, but this time I was so shocked by the backstage of the Lisbon Government that I could no longer find the north and south! In the minds of Lisbon businessmen, the name Tiernalante has an infinitely higher status. A political officer who can shoulder the military duties, a political officer who can have the first princess as a background officer, and maybe His Majesty the Emperor behind him, I God! This is no longer a big one, but a behemoth!

However, as the party concerned, Tiernarant also found the Emperor who was taking a break at Sunrise Castle at this moment, and placed the assessment document signed by Mao Monaqing, the head of the Empire's Ministry of Internal Affairs, on the Emperor's desk. , said in a solemn voice, "Although this subordinate is quite happy with such a comment, I don't think I can reach the same level as Mr. Dozawa. What's more, I have not been in Lisbon for more than half a year. Such a comment is really unacceptable." I can’t bear it!”

"Since it is given to you, it means that you have such achievements. Although you have only been in Lisbon for half a year, Lisbon's taxes have increased by one-third in one year. Moreover, the last financial fluctuations not only did not let Lisbon The blow actually made Lisbonto's trade volume rise to a higher level. To be honest, I didn't expect Mao Monaqing to give you such a high evaluation!"

The fat man held a cup of black tea in his hand and glanced at the evaluation documents on the table. "When you were transferred back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because of me, Mao Monaqing did not dare to ask too much about you, which caused you to suffer a lot in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Bullying, this time we are inspecting and assessing along the way, and we are doing a favor by the way. Don’t take it too seriously.” “But the financial fluctuation last time was actually caused by His Majesty...” Tirnarant also wanted to say. "You are the administrative officer of Lisbon. Since it is during your term, it belongs to you, and this matter ends here, do you understand?" The fat man suddenly waved his hand coldly and interrupted. Tirnalant's words "Yes, I obey my orders." Tiernarant's face was stunned. The fat man used to have a playful smile on his face, and rarely had any serious moments. After all, they were once the lords of the Kingdom of Vikia, and they were still life-and-death opponents at the time. same He was a member of his generation, so there were fewer barriers. Fatty rarely acted like an emperor in front of him, but this time, Tillnarant felt the pressure coming towards him, which proved that the emperor had a flash in his eyes. The chill is not a decoration "There are some things that it would be better if you didn't know. You just need to know that Lisbon's financial fluctuations were handled by you personally in the Imperial Capital. Don't talk about anything else." The fat man's face returned to calmness, he took a deep breath, and his eyes Looking deeply out the window, the scorching sunshine at the end of April shone in through the clean glass windows. The golden sunshine gave people a sense of peace and tranquility. But with the fat man's words, the temperature in the room seemed to drop a few degrees.

Lisbon's financial turbulence and the assassination of Tiernarant could have been nothing more than the work of a few wealthy businessmen. However, few people at the top of the empire knew the truth about that turbulence, let alone the actual events involved. It was a bloody battle of strength between the Empire and Nanou Barrow.

The real battlefield is actually the vast northern part of Eero, the snow-capped plains of the Holy Capital of the Order thousands of miles away, the piles of corpses falling from the winter snow, the tragic song of the kingdom’s death and destruction, and the march of soldiers under strange and cunning circumstances. In danger, in order to compete with the empire for the Order State, the armies of the three southern countries even sneaked into the Holy Capital of the Order State and ambushed Potamia who was heading north in the Holy City. The battle between the old and new popes left Putamia bloody. If If Fatty hadn't noticed, Putamia almost lost her life on the outskirts of the Holy Capital. The 200,000 troops from both sides fought in a brutal fight that could be called a miraculous turn of events. If the outside world knew that the emperor was behind that incident, even if No matter how stupid the southern countries are, they will still think of the Eero Empire, the decisive battle in which the Emperor Eero, who was going from prosperity to decline, died in the battle, and nearly 300,000 Eero Kingdom troops were wiped out.

How can you say these things!

This is a top secret of the empire that must not be known to the outside world!

Even if there is just a hint of news, it will make the entire South European Barrow explode.

Those southern countries that are still neutral and adopt a wait-and-see attitude towards the confrontational war between the Empire and the four southern countries will inevitably join the Southern Alliance in spite of their bitterness. This will end the monolithic situation in the South that the Empire finally broke. Liu Shui, even Crown Prince Martin Liga, who had just reached a secret agreement with the empire, would immediately turn his back, because this is really terrible. Emperor Farouk I of Erro, who is known as the top three among the kings of Errol They have all been played to death, what does he mean as a crown prince!

Putting down the black tea in his hand, the fat man calmly took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Tiernarant, "You will send someone to the Business Alliance to handle this in the afternoon." "This is it?"

Tillnarant took the document curiously and glanced at the content above. He was slightly surprised to see that it turned out to be an application report for the registration of a chamber of commerce. The name of the chamber of commerce was "Sunrise Chamber of Commerce"... Such a tacky name for a chamber of commerce. It really deserves it. Your Majesty, Tillnarant looked at the ugly chicken claw-like font on the application report and couldn't help but underestimated, "Do you think there is something wrong with the name of the Chamber of Commerce?" The emperor's voice was full of dissatisfaction. "No, I feel that just by seeing this name, I have already felt the extraordinary and greatness of this chamber of commerce. The name of the rising sun really belongs only to His Majesty's domineering and kingly demeanor!" Tiernarant's thin face looked solemn. I was shocked. I had touched something I shouldn't have touched just now, and now I was so casual. I quickly closed the document. I couldn't help but flash in my mind that I saw a familiar family name on the document, the Crimson Family, the famous former Nord warriors. ? "Although I know you don't mean what you said, I won't pursue it!" The fat man was unusually thick-skinned and narrowed his eyes slightly. "There is one more thing, that is, Lisbonto's ban on military entry will be lifted after today. I hope you will do it." So ready" "Your Majesty, if you do this, Lisbonto's just good situation will probably fluctuate!" Tirnalant glanced at the emperor with a strange expression and said eagerly, Lisbonto can have a huge increase in trade this year. , to a certain extent, it is precisely because of the emperor’s ban on the military that the military cannot interfere with the Lisbon Trust, so the investment amount of businessmen in the Lisbon Trust can develop rapidly. "What goes up must come down, you should know this truth. You just made the military lose face, and then you were praised by the first princess of the empire. If you continue to maintain this ban, I can cover you, but what can you say about other military forces?" Fang Chongchen will not give you any trouble in secret! "The fat man smiled coldly. "And now that the Southern War is imminent, the entire southern Congo will serve as the base camp of the army. Material transportation and troop mobilization will all pass through here. It is no longer possible to continue to maintain this ban, but you don't have to worry too much. Those few in the military Old fritters, everyone knows you are mine. As long as you don’t deliberately provoke them, he We will not make things difficult for you. I have issued an order to the entire southern Congolese garrison. From today on, all regional garrison units will belong to the southern Congolese garrison establishment established by the Lisbon Government. The candidate for the commander has been decided, and he should arrive at the Lisbon Government Office to report for duty in the next few days." "Gonfei Southern Guards? Can I ask, who is this person?"

Tiernalante's face relaxed a little, and he understood the emperor's intention. Lisbonto's ban on military personnel from entering was inherently problematic. Although it was conducive to Lisbonto's business environment, over time, the military would inevitably rebound. , instead of doing this, it is better to take the initiative to let go, which can be regarded as giving the military face.

However, despite the lifting of the ban, judging from the establishment of the Southern Congo Garrison by the Lisbon Government, it should be that the jurisdiction of the garrison was assigned to the Lisbon Government. This is the core point.

In other words, the garrison is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but is under the jurisdiction of the Lisbon Government. In this case, it is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the military bosses interfering too much in southern Congo! "It doesn't matter if I tell you, because you will be his direct superior. He is the former commander of the 11th Imperial Guards Flag Regiment, Crimson Erdo!" The fat man took out another appointment document from the drawer. "Is he the one from the Crimson Family?" Tiernarant took the appointment document, his eyes a little dull. Although he was holding a transfer order stamped with the seal of the Imperial Military Affairs Department, what he just saw in his mind was completely That document, the brothers and sisters of the Crimson family gathered together to find out what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in this gourd. Although it was just the tip of the iceberg, Tiernarant was very sure that the emperor must be digging a hole for someone! And this hole! I'm afraid it's not as simple as just killing a few people.

The daughter of the Crimson Family, Crimson Red Rui, had an affair with the Imperial Emperor during the Continental Unification War. After the demise of the Kingdom of Nord, the Crimson Family was not only not affected, but was also appointed by the Emperor as the administrator of Southern Nord. He is an outlier among the few remaining Nord martial sects in the Kingdom of Nord who have risen instead of falling.

Later, the eldest son of Crimson, Crimson Erdo, who was known as the super die-hard Nord element, suddenly changed his attitude and became an officer of the Imperial Guard. Last year, he was even promoted to the commander of the flag regiment. The second daughter, Crimson Rui, was even more incredible. Became the first princess of the empire, Mao Monaqing Although the two brothers and sisters are not well-known to the Oubaluo continent, one is the princess's confidant and the other is the emperor's confidant. For the senior officials of the empire who are familiar with the situation at that time, the evaluation of the Crimson family is not easy. A powerful family to be provoked

And now, these two hot potatoes have all airborne to their Lisbon destination!

Thinking of the first princess of the empire who had just left, Tiernarant couldn't help but feel his heart tighten. The first princess's personal evaluation of her outstanding performance was indeed problematic. This clearly meant that she wanted to take care of Scarlet herself. Rui!

She is worthy of being the first princess of the empire who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is known as the Buddha of all families.

This almost invisible move was many times more clever than the others. The Ruidian faction was killed, the military retreated, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was expelled in despair, and all forces regarded Lisbonto as a high-ranking official in the empire. In the Forbidden Land of Thunder Pond, the chess piece Crimson Rui was finally placed in Lisbonto without any hesitation, and it seemed that the emperor was helpless!
