The villain queen eavesdropped on my inner thoughts and won't let me lie down?

Roger immediately stood up and replied, "I think the methods of handling this by you esteemed lords are flawless, ingenious to the extreme, far beyond what I am capable of. I have gained immensely from this meeting!"

【The non-stick pan skills of these guys are indeed worth learning. Good oil! With this situation, isn't it just a matter of having hands?】

"Is this what you truly think?" The Night Empress's hand, hidden in her sleeve, faintly glowed with magical light.

A "Truth Suggestion" spell landed on Roger.

The effect was to prevent the target from lying for the next five minutes.

This was a spell she had found in an ancient book and specifically recorded today.

Did you really think that I came to play this second round without preparing anything in these seven days?

Sorry, being strong really allows you to do whatever you want.

I had already anticipated your anticipation, prepared sufficiently, and specialized in treating your insincerity!

Jay, go and initiate the team fight!

Go and crazily criticize the useless strategies devised by the cabinet members, and give them some motivation to work!

Roger didn't know he was under a magical spell.

He just suddenly felt a strong urge to express himself.

So, without hesitation, he stood up, faced the Night Empress, and blurted out his true thoughts:

"Since Your Majesty sincerely asks, then I shall mercifully tell you that my true thought at this moment is just one sentence: Don't be too greedy as an Empress!"

Night Empress: ???

Rebellious, rebellious! You dare to openly criticize me?

Chapter 30: Dio is a Pillar of the Nation!

As soon as Roger said this, the Council Chamber became so silent that a pin could be heard dropping.

Shocking beyond belief, the cabinet ministers were also dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that the Empress's question would not receive an answer, but instead be scolded for being greedy?

Could it be that he couldn't answer and became angry out of embarrassment?

Lord Brando, are you that brave?

Can this kind of team fight be initiated?

Everyone subconsciously moved their chairs away from Roger, to show that they were distancing themselves.

The Night Empress now appears to be open to suggestions and striving for good governance.

But most of those present had experienced the rise of the Green Vine Kingdom and could not forget the scene of her killing people like flies.

So everyone shirked responsibility and blamed each other, without any taboos.

But even someone like Angelina, a close friend, would not dare to easily accuse the Night Empress of being wrong.

Do you really think this Green Vine Empire is like the Great Ming, where the emperor has no authority and is constantly criticized by civil officials?

The Green Vine Empire doesn't have the tradition of officials being immune from punishment for speaking their minds.

The Empress is still the ceiling of the empire's combat power.

You dare to provoke her?

The "true thought" that Roger spoke was too shocking.

So shocking that everyone only dared to look at the Night Empress's unpredictable face, and no one dared to come out to smooth things over.

Even Margaret, a die-hard fan, was angry that Dio dared to criticize her most respected Empress, but didn't dare to stand up and retort.

In case the Empress misunderstood that she was giving Dio a way out and hanged her up to be beaten together, it would be very embarrassing.

Angelina was also very surprised at this moment.

But after thinking carefully, it felt reasonable.

She raised her head, looked at Dio Brando, who stood proudly, and her beautiful eyes shone with different colors.

No wonder Her Majesty's perception of him is so complex.

This Lord Brando is full of courage, full of integrity, surpassing 99% of the men in this empire!

She now truly admires Dio.

According to Angelina's initial guess, the conflict between Dio and the Night Empress was a "lover's quarrel".

So even if he was knocked out of the palace, it was just flirting and wouldn't be life-threatening.

But later, Her Majesty admitted that she didn't have "love" for Dio.

Then Dio's direct words were really putting life and death aside!

Thinking of how he dared to write down the Night Empress's early experiences truthfully, what he did that night that made the Empress knock him out of the palace, and now directly saying that the Empress is greedy...

This person obviously only does what is right, and doesn't kneel!

He wants to stand and be this history minister!

True hero, true hero, true warrior!

Angelina suddenly understood why Her Majesty hesitated that day, saying that Dio had a special use, but refused to tell her clearly.

She just didn't want her to know that she was being scolded, right?

A sly smile of "I see through everything" suddenly appeared in Angelina's eyes.

Indeed, our Majesty is not a masochist, but rather a person with a strong desire for control and loves face extremely.

She needs Dio's talent and his outspokenness.

But if you want to control such a talent, you have to risk being embarrassed.

Your Majesty, it's not easy for her either...

For this country, she has changed a lot and is moving forward on the difficult road to becoming a wise ruler for all ages.

Angelina has always been kind.

She will see the positive side of everything in the world.

So she believes that the Empress is using Dio as a test and will never kill him for a few rude rebukes, nor is she in a hurry to stand up and smooth things over.

Don't worry, let Her Majesty's anger fly for a while.

The Night Empress was indeed angry, angry to the point of questioning her life.

She used the "Truth Suggestion" spell, wanting to use Roger to achieve the catfish effect:

To broadcast Roger's unbridled stand-up comedy, complaining about the useless strategies that these wastes came up with.

Even if Roger can't give better strategies, it can stimulate her cabinet ministers.

Anyway, he is very bold, dares to think about anything, and dares to complain about anything.

Offending a few cabinet ministers is not a big deal, right?

However, the actual result is that Roger is bolder than the Night Empress thought!

He skipped complaining about the cabinet.

Directly attacked the Empress!

This wave of no-positioning is better than god-level positioning, anticipating that the Empress would anticipate his anticipation, going through thousands of layers of games, directly turning the Night Empress's seven days of preparation...

Into a joke.

At this moment, the Empress feels wronged, both like "Why did you provoke him?" and like "The clown is actually myself".

And very inexplicable.

I am for the country and the people, where am I greedy?

The Night Empress asked in a cold voice:

"Minister Dio, explain what you mean by this greed."

Roger responded:

"Your Majesty is truly a master of pretending to be confused. May I ask, if there were no Restoration Army actions this time, how many people would the empire have to kill to quell the rebellion? How many people would have to die in the seventeen countries of the old territory?"

"Now there are some problems in the final stage, but compared to the initial tone, it is already a hundred times the benefit, and the cabinet's strategy can also smoothly end this matter."

"But you are still forcing everyone to come up with a method that doesn't kill people, a method that doesn't require mobilizing the magic corps, and a method that doesn't require the empire's main force to drive out all the Seven Gods Church spies..."

"I would like to ask, meteorites will fall from the sky, but will a Star Throne fall down for you to sit on?"

Roger's impassioned speech made the ministers slowly nod. Indeed, they have already earned a lot...

If they forcibly quell the rebellion and suppress it by force, not only will many people die in the empire, but the hatred with the seventeen countries will also deepen.

But now, after pretending to be the Restoration Army, the remnants of the seventeen countries can no longer jump up, and now the people of the seventeen countries also have their hearts toward the empire.

Compared to the beginning, they have already made a lot of money. They should quickly settle the accounts and use the income in other aspects!

However, in the last sentence, Lord Dio once again criticized the Empress, and everyone dared not nod, and quickly put on a straight face.

In case they laugh.

Good boy, you are really brave.

Isn't this just saying that the Empress is waiting for pie to fall from the sky?

But everyone's reaction has been seen by the Night Empress. She snorted and asked:

"Sophistry! Dio, as your subject, you receive the salary issued by Us, but you don't solve Our worries, and you don't do things to the best of your ability, but you are here making excuses and shirking responsibility. Your heart is punishable!"

Roger chuckled: "The best? Governing a country involves countless threads, with endless troubles. This is a game, a reasonable allocation of resources and time, a card-drawing gamble on talents, and it is inevitable that it can only achieve a balance within a certain range. How can that beautiful country have the time to do everything to the best of its ability? Your Majesty, this time... you are naive and cute again!"

Pfft!

Angelina couldn't help but laugh.

Your Majesty... cute?

I thought that after she turned sixteen, she would be forever insulated from this word!

Her laughter was terrible.

The other cabinet ministers couldn't hold back either.

The number of intelligent races directly or indirectly killed by the Blood Mother definitely exceeds one million.

Such a woman, cute?

Too outrageous!

Who would have thought that in the always solemn cabinet meeting, someone would be so unscrupulous and madly attacking the Night Empress!

Roger didn't waste his time as an up主, and controlled the rhythm of his speech very well.

This kind of joking and scolding, pointing out the country, as if complaining that the game's lines were designed too badly, the program effect was directly full.

Have these medieval people ever seen this?

In this tense state, someone is so fully fired, even if they have received professional training, they can't help it.

However, although Dio's tone is a bit frivolous, what he said is really very reasonable after careful consideration.

Using "game" to describe national governance, the more you think about it, the more mysterious it is...

This is really a very novel and very sharp understanding!

National governance never has a perfect answer. It is always in constant compromise and trial and error that we find a way to make the country peaceful and stable for a long time...

Dio is able to summarize such a truth at a young age, and at the same time, he is extremely courageous and dares to speak out despite his own safety.

This talent and mind are both first-class!

Given time, this child will surely be a pillar of the country!

Such a talent, although a bit frivolous, should also be given a chance!

Young people!
