Chapter 644 (1/2)

”Brandon de sallion absolutely can't. your highness is not an envoy who can go to Byrne to mediate on behalf of the Empire, which is indisputable!”

Before Severin de sallion had finished speaking, metterne Leopold immediately interrupted him without giving the military minister any face.

Seville Linton, whose words were blocked in his mouth, was angry. He looked back fiercely, but saw the seal minister with gray hair facing his four eyes without weakness; After hesitating for a moment, he had to sit back on his seat with a cold hum.

After all, as the seal minister, mettner is the real leader of the former cabinet and the highest official rank. All other ministers are second to him, even the Royal relatives and hereditary nobles.

In the non spacious cabinet room, the armchairs at the end of the long table paved with black silk and satin were empty. The former Ministers sitting on both sides were full of eyebrows, and the repressed atmosphere was like essence.

In particular, the speech of the Minister of military affairs was interrupted by the Minister of seal, which made the depression of the atmosphere reach its peak; One is the chief of the cabinet, and the other is the commander of the three armed services and the head of the Guard Corps. No one dares to show up at this time.

Of course, the former cabinet under the control of akhat II has always been a contradictory whole. The power of all parties is basically balanced. There is no saying who is pressing who... But that was before the seram kovo incident.

Because the former chancellor of the exchequer passed away, the new minister promoted could not even suppress the old-fashioned aristocrats; In the ”trial before the emperor”, the church judge has just been removed. The person in charge of a monastery replaces him, and he dare not talk much, so as to avoid the ”warning” of the previous term.

As for the remaining justice Victor Seuss, he himself was a newcomer with little background; Elbert, the former wizard consultant of the imperial court, is a gentle grandfather all the year round. He is willing to sit at the end of the table with him. Unless it touches on the interests of wizards, he will never say a word more.

In this way, the whole Royal Council is a stagnant water without waves. It can only carry out the instructions of the emperor's majesty and has no subjective initiative; This makes mettner miss the cabinet full of quarrels and fierce collisions. Although it is full of disputes, it is also efficient!

Especially in this sudden trouble... The old man with his hands on the handrail sighed in a low voice, and his eyes dropped slightly, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

Normally speaking, the ”heresy incident” in red blood castle was a month ago. No matter how much wrangling and procrastination, it should have come up with a plan to solve it.

Even the stupidest nobles in the imperial capital can see that the ”principality governor system” tried out by the Empire in Bain has been completely bankrupt. Bain's nobles have sufficient reasons to refuse any governor sent by the Empire. It is urgent to restore the principality system and appoint a new Duke.

After all, even if the governor system is over, Byrne's nobles still agree with the imperial jurisprudence; As long as it is handled properly and a sufficiently loyal and prestigious Duke is appointed, all problems can be hidden in the invisible... On the contrary, the longer it is delayed, the more the nobles of the principalities will be disappointed and skeptical about the Empire.

So the question is, who should deal with this matter and who is qualified?

Naturally, the identity of this person cannot be too low; Otherwise, no problem can be solved. If you don't say it, it will make Byrne's nobles feel despised, and can't deter Byrne duchy and make them willingly obey the mediation of the Empire.

If you send an imperial aristocrat or cabinet minister at random, I'm afraid the result is not to mediate, but to be ready to accept Quan Bain's declaration of war.

”Please, excuse me...”

The young new Chancellor of the exchequer couldn't help but ask, ”why can't your majesty go and crown Bain with a new Duke... If your majesty came in person, the whole Bain would be ecstatic and proud?”

”Because the governor of the principality is a new system adhered to by the three supreme emperors from the tenth generation, the eleventh and the twelfth generation!”

Mettner snapped, ”if your majesty comes forward for this matter, it means that your majesty needs to be responsible for it. It means that all three supreme emperors have made mistakes since the beginning of her majesty Charlotte I, the Dragon Queen, and now her majesty Eckhart II!”

”If that's true, where is the majesty of the Empire and the royal family?! is it because a governor who betrayed the Holy Cross and the Empire, the de sallion royal family will abandon their face?!”

Mettner really didn't want to continue discussing this boring problem. He waved and interrupted the young Chancellor of the exchequer, who looked embarrassed. He didn't know what to do and asked him to shut up.
