What should I do if the boss wants to chase my roommate?

Margaret sternly said: "Emanuel broke out and you are only reporting now!"

Horatio said, shaking himself, "I didn't know that, Your Majesty! Really didn't!"

He looked in a trance: "Usually, the weather is good every year! It is these few years... yes! These few years have been dry and flooded, I thought it was nothing! Because it has been so many years, so many years! Emmanuel Nothing happened!"

Emmanuel is the agricultural center of Olivia. Its annual grain production accounts for 30.00% of the total grain in Olivia. It has the largest plain in the country, the most fertile black land, and Olivia The reputation of the granary is a veritable rich place.

And in this fertile land, a famine broke out for more than three months, countless people died of starvation, and no one cares about it until now.

If it continues like this, Emmanuel will be a dead city!

Today's five Dukes, of which Bartlett and Austin are the most valued by Chrissy. Austin and Mansfield have a long-term marriage relationship, and he is deeply trusted by the royal family because of his inextricable relationship with the royal family. Bartlett Especially with his unique political insights and absolutely clever literati mind, he can get along like a duck in water on political occasions.

The other three, ranked from high to low are Horatio, Zephaniah, and Duke Wilde. Needless to say, Duke Wilde, his family’s title was bought entirely by money, and he was not popular among the old nobles. Zephaniah Similar to Wilde but different.

Zephaniah is also very rich, but most of his money comes from Zephaniah's auction houses all over Olivia, and he has traded treasures with nobles for many years in exchange for political status.

Duke Horatio relies entirely on Emmanuel, the huge granary that is related to the rations of the entire Olivia. His ranking among the five Dukes is not high or low, but no one will deliberately provoke him, unless their family's territory I want to stop eating in the future.

Food is very important to every era and every country. Food is needed for the livelihood of the people, food is needed for soldiers to fight wars, and sometimes food is also needed for diplomacy and trade with other countries.

Now that Emmanuel has an accident and the grain production is reduced, Olivia’s grain production will definitely drop significantly this year. If someone finds out by then, Duke Horatio will lose 100% of his head. Be smart, admit your mistakes before the matter is dead, and then find an opportunity to make up for your mistakes. If you add other nobles to help you, you can indeed get through it safely.

But the premise of all this is that Prince Chrissy Mansfield must be in power.

Not Queen Margaret.

Margaret is not Clichy, as can be seen from Walter Austin, who had her hands cut off and lost her fertility, she has no sympathy for those sinful nobles, so Horatio can only hope for Clichy and the nobles to protect him.

Just as Horatio thought, if Margaret hadn't been limited by people now and the important power was not in her hands, she did have the intention to chop Horatio's head off.

Because if the matter hadn't developed too seriously, he couldn't cover it up. She didn't believe that Horatio would report it so proactively.

The only thing Horatio can be thankful for now is that Margaret does not have the right to execute him.

He tried to argue: "Your Majesty, this must be a disaster from the Deer God! Otherwise, why has Emmanuel not had any problems for decades, but the disasters have occurred frequently in recent years. The only thing that can explain it is that the Deer God sent punishment. Baptize the filthy world!"

Margaret is crazy to believe Horatio's nonsense, he is hopeless now, so she said: "Dick Horatio, Emmanuel is your territory, and now there is such a major disaster You don’t care about it, but if you took some preventive measures in the year when you learned about the disaster, it wouldn’t cause today’s catastrophe!”

"You said it was a punishment from the Deer God, but this is indeed a punishment from the Deer God for your dereliction of duty!"

Horatio originally wanted to throw the pot away, but he didn't expect the pot to turn black instead. He couldn't argue with it: "Your Majesty! I..."

Margaret stopped him from continuing to argue for himself, "So Dick Horatio, I sent you to solve the famine in Emmanuel. If you solve it, you will not redeem yourself, because this is your duty."

"But if it doesn't work out..."

Margaret changed the subject, "You don't have to come back."

As soon as these words came out, not only Horatio collapsed to the ground in fright, but other nobles were all surprised, and even Chrissy, who had been silent all this time, said, "Marguerite, this is too serious."

What happened to the Duke of Austin before only suppressed the arrogance of the Austin family, but it did not completely kick him out of politics. After all, the eldest son is dead. The Duke of Austin and the second son can inherit the title and continue to grow the family power.

But regarding Horatio's matter, the queen is going to take the Horatio family into the pot.

The power center has always maintained a delicate balance headed by the five dukes. If a duke suddenly disappears, the balance will definitely be completely broken, and political turmoil will definitely cause national and social turmoil.

Everyone in the circle of power will not be happy to see this picture.

Because their interests will be fundamentally affected.

"Your Majesty, Duke Horatio has worked so hard for so many years, and doing so will chill the hearts of everyone who has paid for Olivia!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, the matter of Emmanuel is indeed the Duke's dereliction of duty. It's better to wait for the Duke to settle the matter before making a decision."

"Your Majesty, Duke Horatio's crimes are not so serious."

All the nobles attached to Duke Horatio came out to intercede for Duke Horatio at this time.

Chrissy also said: "Marguerite, you are too impulsive. I understand your anger. I am as angry as your heart, but we cannot let it cloud our reason."

Look at what these people say, and those who don't know think she ordered Horatio to be killed.

But she's really just letting Horatio do what he's supposed to do.

Margaret asked: "Then what do you think the ministers should do?"

In the end, Clichy and Marguerite decided to send Duke Horatio to deal with Emmanuel's famine, and then decide Horatio's punishment after all the dust settled.

Although it was the result of deliberation, everyone could see that the Queen was dissatisfied with the result.

Margaret said: "We still have to choose someone to assist Duke Horatio. I wonder if you have any recommended candidates."

I didn't say before that I would choose someone to go, and the ministers were talking about it for a while.

Everyone looked at Chrissy in unison, but Chrissy did not refuse. After all, Margaret made a concession just now. If she denies it at this time, it will not be conducive to the stability of the imperial power. Besides, it is just adding someone. The young master went out to practice, and when he came back, he could just enjoy something else and it was over.

So he acquiesced to the queen's sudden decision.

The nobles discussed it for a long time, and everyone wanted this job. They said it was for assistance, but people with a discerning eye knew that it was actually a supervisor. But for the nobles, no one except the royal family dared to supervise the duke of a country, so this is the way for the juniors to go out to gild Opportunities, everyone wants to fight for it.

At the end of the fight, no one would give in. Margaret said: "After all, Horatio is Olivia's Duke, and those with low status are not convinced, Mr. Webb Bartlett and Mr. Sheridan Wilde, uncle Which do you think is better?"

One is Bartlett, who is in the limelight, and the other is Wilde, who is unknown.

Chrissy didn't expect Margaret to let him decide, thinking that Margaret was showing weakness to him, and thought for a long time: "I heard that Sheridan performed well when he was in the Knights."

That means picking Sheridan.

Everyone thought that Clichy would choose Weber Bartlett, because they all knew that Weber Bartlett was chosen by His Highness Clichy for His Majesty's husband.

Like everyone else, Margaret showed a slightly surprised look, but what she thought in her heart was:

It became.

She knew from the very beginning that with Chrissy and the nobles around, she couldn't do anything about Horatio at all, but if she made a decision that everyone couldn't accept, and regretted compromising, and put forward a condition that everyone could accept, everyone would In order to appease her anger, he agreed.

Retreat to advance and realize her true purpose.

Austin is not suitable to be reused now, the son of Zephaniah's family is too young, and the choice she gave Chrissy was only Sheridan from the beginning to the end.

She resigned all the people in the palace and asked Sheridan to select someone. In order to install someone beside her, Chrissy would definitely find a way to get rid of them. It is better to take the initiative than to be passive, and this is a good job.

With this, it would be easier for Sheridan to move around the palace and even reach higher places.

Furthermore, Chrissy is also planning to use Wilde to suppress Bartlett, and everything will be reversed. Bartlett already has a candidate for the queen's future husband, and it would be too much to add something else.

He couldn't fully grasp Bartlett, and needed to press it again. After all, a dog would be afraid and more loyal only after being beaten.

As for the Wilde family, he didn't believe that there would be any waves, and he could sell Margaret a favor, so why not do it.

In the Merman Palace, Margaret, who had achieved her goal, was not happy. She sat in the pavilion in the garden and looked at the lonely full moon in the sky.

Nina didn't dare to speak out, she was afraid of saying something wrong again, because she was someone sent by His Highness Chrissy to His Majesty, she couldn't swear her absolute loyalty to Her Majesty, she could only silently accompany her She, accompany her to think.

After a long time, Margaret finally retracted her blue eyes looking at the moon, full of sadness and self-blame, she said:

"Nina, I'm guilty."

She never thought before that she would use human life as a bargaining chip in political struggle. She could not bring justice to the dead of Emmanuel.

She's guilty, she's an incompetent king.
