Vol 4 Chapter 12: Confrontation Yuqian (Part 2)
"Can you ask the former wizard adviser of Earl Ruben to tell us carefully how he stirred up the noble rebellion in Shenlinbao and took the opportunity to seize power ..."
Metternich Leopold's voice was low, and his bright eyes looked at the dark-haired wizard; just at the same time, the expressions of the remaining five cabinet ministers changed at the same time.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and even the military minister who had been anxiously tapping on the handrails had stopped, and the look of the dark-haired wizard was a bit cold.
Damn ... this is not a good sign ...
Loren gritted his teeth secretly, his hands behind him clenched his fists secretly.
The Minister of the Seal of the Seal is setting ... If you admit that the entire Deep Forest Castle is all planned by yourself-although in fact it is-it is equivalent to putting a "conspirator" label on yourself, both for yourself and Brandon. Extremely unfavorable
I would like to ask, why would Brandon want to make a veteran who has helped the lord to seize power "resumed" and become his wizard advisor?
But the reverse is also true. If you forcibly wash yourself and say that all this is the "wise planning" of Earl Ruben Freed ... not only does it seem very fake, but your own Earl confidant knows nothing about this plan ; It will also make you look like a villain who likes to shirk responsibility.
Both are the answers Metternich Leopold hopes for ...
The cabinet ministers were silent, looking directly at their palms, the minister's expression was cold and numb, and his clear eyes seemed to have seen through his essence.
Raising his pupils, Loren spit out two words:
"absurd!"
Leopold's eyes lit up, and a strange look appeared.
With a snap, the Church Inquisitor clapping the table widened his eyes: "Bold, how dare you ..."
"Invite Lord Terrace Judge to anger and let me finish my speech." Shen Sheng interrupted him, and suddenly Loren changed his face and calmly looked at the frowning judge:
"I also ask Lord Victor Hughes, the former magistrate, to answer a question for me."
A glance at the dark eyes of the dark-haired wizard, the slightly stunned middle-aged man turned his back, and the expressionless Leopold slightly nodded:
"please say."
"According to the laws of the empire, are vassals obliged to follow the monarch's dispatch and defend the enemy when foreign enemies invade?" Loren said indifferently: "Should the poor in the territories be relieved during the severe winter?"
Victor Hughes pondered for a moment, then nodded: "These are the most basic and are the core requirements of the imperial vassal system."
"Thank you for your answer, sir." Bowing to salute each other, Loren collapsed word by word: "But even these, the nobles of Shenlinbao did not do it!"
"Even the exact opposite ... As early as I accompanied Count Ruben to the Deep Forest Castle, I was attacked by ogres. In the first month of arrival, the local nobles not only did not pay attention to the Count ’s warning, but were still gathering in the fighting, Fight for land! "
"Until the arrival of the severe winter, we learned from the mouth of the elves that the ogres invaded the intelligence. It is still the same ... And then, it is the most severe winter in Lotel's years."
"Thousands of poor people were covered in heavy snow, the fields were deserted, and the corpses ran across the fields without being heard; collusion with the castle guards to burn the granaries ... until the final plan failed, they became angry and gathered in rebellion!"
Loren breathed a sigh of relief, as if he couldn't bear to recall these, and said in the calmest tone: "Please forgive me for the excessive language at the beginning, because the information received by the Secretary of the Seal ... is obviously biased towards 'some' people. . "
As soon as the words fell, Chancellor of the Exchequer Siscott sneered suddenly, as if dismissing the answer of the dark-haired wizard.
Leopold glanced at him, his eyes turned back to Loren: "So ... what did you do in this" rebellion "?"
"Negotiate with the elf's messenger and verify the land and accounts of the deep forest." Loren answered truthfully.
"Don't think you did this ... is this the real reason for those noble rebellions?"
Loren was stunned, his eyes widened like an incredible look at the minister of the seal of the palm, as if completely speechless; the five cabinet ministers had different eyes and kept going back and forth between the two.
"Cough cough ... that ..."
At the end, the former former wizard advisor, Al Bird suddenly laughed and coughed twice: "For such a serious question, Loren may need a little time to think about it. I don't think it's necessary to be so tight ..."
"There is still a quarter of an hour, and His Majesty's temporary cabinet meeting is about to start; we don't have time, he ... neither."
The awkward Albert was interrupted mercilessly, and the clear-minded Minister of the Palm Seal still stared at the black-haired wizard motionlessly:
"Tell me, Loren Turin, when doing what you think is right ... have you considered the consequences of your actions?"
Metternich Leopold's words echoed in the hall.
Under the gaze of six pairs of emotions, the dark-haired wizard with a heavy face sighed and bowed down to bow to the cabinet ministers in front of him: "It is ... I'm so sorry, Lord Chancellor."
"Because I really did not expect that you would actually ask this kind of question!"
The six cabinet ministers froze at the same time.
Deathly silent, Metternich Leopold narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Among the most important qualities of being a wizard, the first thing to do is rationality ... I will not do anything without considering the result."
Slowly standing up, straightening the waist, Loren looked firm, and confronted the six cabinet ministers in front of him: "As a wizard advisor, my first duty is to make what I think is the most reasonable for the people I serve. Decide. "
"The Earl of Luvin is a puppet in the sky, all I can do is help him fight for everything a lord should have;"
"If the territory is killed, all I can do is find a way out for the poor, and collect food from the nobles as a relief;"
"Noble rebellion, all I can do is to unite the elves and reach an alliance on the condition of aid;"
"Although I am shallow in power, I am dedicated to serving the people I loyal to--whether it is Earl Ruben Frid, or His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion."
"I ask why in your mouth, I have become a shameless person who tries to whisper the lord, trigger a rebellion and seize power, collude with foreign enemies and ignore the consequences of my actions ..."
"Sir Loren Turin, you are really a bold approach." Minister Zhang Xi said in a deep voice: "Are you criticizing me, or is the entire Yuqian cabinet not fair to you?"
"No, on the contrary, I don't think you have ordered the guards to drag me, an arrogant, right now. It's just enough to be tolerant."
The dark-haired wizard glanced at the cabinet ministers with different expressions around him, more convinced of his judgment, and also had another understanding of what Brandon said before.
"... However, although these high-ranking and powerful cabinet ministers have different attitudes toward you, they cannot make a final decision on you based on their opinions ..."
"... They will detect you, target you, and even deliberately irritate you ... These are their means; every cabinet minister is a powerful faction in the Empire that cannot be ignored, and is qualified to sit in that chair. The key reason for this ... "
"... They have to see your face and the upper limit of your ability, and carefully distinguish whether it should be an enemy or a good relationship with you ... remember, my wizard advisor, they don't care if you can be Wizard Advisor; but to us, is this faction named 'Second Prince' qualified to negotiate with them ... "
So ... from the beginning, there was no need to please them, and this interrogation was just acting, showing to the person who really had the power to decide everything.
Then you don't need to continue to work with them, it's time to invite the "protagonist" ...
"Please also forgive the arrogance and rudeness just now; but ... since you have reached this step ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ presumably you have decided on the next sentence?"
With wide eyes, the dark-haired wizard looked at the stunned six people with a deadly expression:
"I implore all the members of the imperial cabinet representing the supremacy of the empire to tell the next under your power ..."
"Are you qualified to become a wizard advisor to His Royal Highness Brandon de Salion, the thirteenth prince of the Empire ?!"
The words fell and none of the six spoke.
As expected by the black-haired wizard ... No one dared to speak, no one could make this decision.
One minute passed.
"boom--!"
The door opened, and the bodyguard broke into the hall:
"Your Majesty is here-!!!!!!"
Lowen, who lowered his head, couldn't help but raise his mouth.
