Chapter 21 Raising Thieves(1/2)
Yeomington did not dare to discuss this matter with Luke in detail, but asked: "Master Chief Assistant, what can you get from helping Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Chief Inspector this time?"
Luke said with a smile: "Gabriel's first assistant is versatile and versatile. You should also learn from it. If the turmoil in the palace can calm down, the eldest princess will no longer be the eldest princess before. She doesn't want to fight for the seat above.
To fight.
I have given you such a good position, do you still want to be loyal to the chief minister? Don't put yourself and your family's future in one basket... Her Royal Highness the Princess and I are in great need of talents like you.
To give you a chance to show off, Sandpaper, Kestrel and three sisters are in the hands of the Cross, take them out and give them to me."
Luke's words made Yomington's heart tremble.
He knew that the chief detective made him serve as the commissioner of the Raging Waves City Office in Saint-Lun City just to win over him. But he was personally promoted by Gabriel, the chief assistant, and being able to be appointed as the chief assistant's staff officer was based on trust.
Before taking up the post of commissioner, Chief Assistant Gabriel had a long discussion with him. This position is very important, and he must occupy this hole, but he must not follow the meteor.
However, the fact that the chief minister, who originally seemed to be manipulating everything, showed such inability in this palace struggle, it can be seen that the future is the royal family members who are qualified to compete for the throne.
And how many of the chief ministers of the empire in history were able to start well and end well?
Yomington was a little shaken, but finally said: "Thank you to the Chief Inspector for favoring me, but the Chief Assistant has great trust in me. As a think tank-type staff, I cannot be as tactful as a politician.
I will convey your words to Lord Gabriel, and Lord Chief Assistant will make the decision on everything.
As for those three girls...it is related to the Crusaders Project of the Crusade and the Eternal Life Mystery Project. Even Lord Gabriel cannot make the decision. I will pay more attention to them and try my best to take care of them."
Luke knew that he couldn't be in a hurry when asking Yaomington to surrender to him. Anyway, the person was already in his bowl, so he could slowly eat it slowly.
As for the secret project of eternal life revealed by Yomington.
The restart of this occult research was a bit early. It seems that changing the plot put too much pressure on Emperor Augustine, allowing him to reveal his desire to extend his life in advance.
The emperor of the empire, who had been trying to be strong all his life, still bowed his head...
It also made many people lose their respect for him.
"I'll leave the matter of those girls to you. Now go back to see Chief Assistant Gabriel and tell me his attitude and thoughts as soon as possible.
I can inform Her Royal Highness the Princess to reduce some of the pressure on the cabinet."
Yomington knew the seriousness of the matter. He stood up and said goodbye to Luke, and then left in a hurry.
At the home of the chief minister of the empire, Yaomington, who came to visit, was immediately summoned by Gabriel.
Drive away all bystanders and activate the enchantment in the room.
Chief Assistant Gabriel listened carefully to the news brought by Yomington.
"Meteor's courage is really great!" After hearing this, Gabriel's chief minister exclaimed in a long voice: "Forcing the Celtic Grand Duke to rebel... This is gambling with the national destiny of the empire and pushing Her Royal Highness to do so.
Ascend to the throne of God.”
Yaomington was already soaked to the skin at this time, and his voice was trembling with excitement, nervousness, and fear.
"Master Chief Assistant. From what Yue Xing did in Raging Waves City, it can be seen that in order to push Her Royal Highness to fight for the throne, he must have violated His Highness's original intention of sending him to Raging Waves City.
If the Celtic Grand Duke can be forced to rebel this time, in the counter-rebellion war, with the help of the Secret Service and the money from Raging Waves City, the eldest princess will definitely be able to make outstanding achievements with the aid of the meteorite.
At that time, when Your Majesty is summoned by the gods, even if he does not appoint Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince... who can sit firmly on the throne?"
Gabriel nodded with deep understanding.
"Meteor Star is very loyal to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess! In order to protect Her Highness, he dared to tear the empire apart."
At this time, Yaomington whispered: "Master Chief Assistant... When I was the commissioner of the Raging Waves City Office in St. Lun City, I often went to No. 236 Copper Mulberry Avenue to handle matters. When chatting with those imperial spies, I learned that the Meteor Star
We have a deeper relationship with Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."
"What's the relationship?" Gabriel asked hurriedly.
"Secret Lover!"
Gabriel immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Do you know the consequences?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Chief Assistant. I have never been sure, so I didn't report it to you. The imperial spy who revealed the information to me is called Pisco, and he is not very smart! I hope it did not affect your judgment of the situation in the palace."
Gabriel thought deeply and said: "If it is true, it can explain why Meteor is not so active in His Majesty's marriage proposal. Before Princess Del's disappearance, His Majesty had been waiting for him to swear allegiance."
Yaomington asked: "Does this mean that the attack and disappearance of Princess Dai'er has nothing to do with the eldest princess?"
"We can't draw this conclusion yet, and Princess Dai'er is no longer important. What's important now is how to force the Celtic Grand Duke to rebel and divert all the conflicts in the Imperial Palace."
"You promised the meteor?"
"If the relationship between Yue Xing and the eldest princess is really as you said, even if His Majesty gave him my position as chief minister, I'm afraid he wouldn't be interested. He wants to play a big game with the national destiny of the empire, so we will play with him.
It’s not yet certain who is the biggest winner.”
Yaomington understood what Gabriel meant.
The Celtic Grand Duke represents the old aristocratic forces of the empire. Once the civil war starts, the new aristocrats will definitely gather around them like sharks smelling blood. And if they want to occupy a good position at this feast, they must serve as the head of the imperial cabinet.
Auxiliary Gabriel.
The power of the royal family and the old nobility were consumed, and the new nobility could take the opportunity to enter various areas of the empire, including the army that had been held in the hands of Augustine the Great.
If the power of the eldest princess grows, the emperor will only rely more on the new nobles if he wants to consolidate his imperial power.
"Raise a thief to respect himself" is also used in the palace.
But can Gabriel achieve his goal?
Yaomington couldn't help but raise questions in his mind, but this was not what he should say.
Gabriel agreed to Luke's plan to resolve the palace struggle, and the details were gradually improved as Yomington passed them on.
At a palace cabinet meeting, several cabinet ministers once again jointly proposed the impeachment of the eldest princess, and presented a large number of facts to prove the indulgence of the Imperial Secret Service.
"Your Majesty!" a minister shouted regardless of his manners: "The Imperial Secret Intelligence Service used the excuse of investigating the assassination of Princess Dai'er to arrest innocent officials in the imperial capital, which has made it difficult for many departments to operate.
But Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did not find Princess Dai'er. I think it was a lie that she was looking for Princess Dai'er, and it was true that she took the opportunity to exclude dissidents. I request that Your Majesty treat your subjects fairly, revoke all the Princess's positions, and transfer her to the Imperial Court for trial!
"
A letter of impeachment against the eldest princess was collected by the internal officials and placed in front of Emperor Augustine.
Augustine didn't look.
These days, at every imperial cabinet meeting, someone would submit something like this, and he had already memorized the contents.
But can Agatha be investigated?
East: The Watchers have launched a war of restoration within the Republic of Leo. The Imperial Navy has ordered a batch of "Unit-0" class all-metal battleships in Raging Waves City, and will use this opportunity to gain maritime superiority for another few decades.
North: The empire's border has always been uneven, and the fortified border has always been a gold-eating beast.
South: The Celtic Duke's resentment towards the empire is growing. As the most accomplished emperor of the empire, he can only be worthy of his current title by destroying these states within states.
The west: There are hereditary nobles and non-human tribes everywhere. The endless gangs have always been a headache for the empire.
Before this, Emperor Augustine was very ambitious.
After kicking Leo, the hereditary leader of Nanping solves the problems left over from the empire's history. Once the banditry in the west is quelled, the entire empire can be concentrated on teaching a lesson to the centuries-old enemy in the north.
The Empire is now stronger than ever.
But Raging Wave City must not be in chaos. If the empire's economic chain is disrupted, problems will arise and it will be difficult to maintain a huge army.
Emperor Augustine looked at Agatha sitting on his right, and thought to himself: Why did you choose to take the city of Raging Waves at this time!
"Agatha!" Augustine finally responded to these impeachments: "I have always defended you because you are my daughter. I hope you can realize your mistakes yourself and don't make it difficult for me to face the ministers of the empire.
I don’t want to send you to the Imperial Court, you can explain these things here yourself.”
Emperor Augustine tapped the pile of impeachment papers with his fingers and stared at Agatha. He had already sent someone to hint that his daughter could retain the title of eldest princess by voluntarily resigning.
Without Agatha's power, Raging Waves City would have no support from the palace, and those who served the eldest princess would naturally fall apart.
Agatha looked back at Augustine, without a trace of concession in her eyes. If she retreats today, all her efforts will soon be dissipated. No one understands the current situation of the empire better than her, and no one understands what Raging Waves City is better than her.
Condition.
No one can control the meteor. He will really smash the city of Raging Waves. He also has this ability.
At that time, the empire will be finished.
"Your Majesty...the duty of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service is to protect the security of the Empire. Everyone I arrested deserves their punishment. They may have nothing to do with the attack on Dai'er, but they were just found by the Imperial Secret Intelligence Service when they were investigating.
.
If someone thinks I'm guilty, come up with evidence. If you don't have evidence, don't waste time in the Imperial Cabinet meeting.
Shouldn't we care about Princess Del?
All members of the Secret Intelligence Service are looking for her day and night, while some people are busy impeaching me. What are their intentions? What are their intentions!"
Agatha's response sparked Augustine's anger.
He slammed the table: "Agatha!"
At this time, Gabriel, who was sitting on the left side, said quickly: "Your Majesty, please calm down... The relationship between the eldest princess and Princess Dai'er is very good. She also did some extraordinary things in order to find Princess Dai'er as soon as possible... …”
Emperor Augustine turned to look at Gabriel, as if to identify whether he was fake.
Everyone else also looked at Gabriel, wondering if Mr. Chief Assistant took the wrong medicine when he went out today.
To be continued...
