Chapter 393 Two meetings
The coup incident of the eldest prince Fania slowly subsided over time, and most of the officials in the entire palace were affected. The removal and demotion left many important positions of real power vacant. Queen Christina did not have her own team before, so she was promoted in Raging City.
A line of officials.
For a time, the convoys of people returning home after resigning from office and the convoys of officials entering the imperial capital to take up new posts became a part of the city's scenery.
The Young Faction of the New Nobles, the Reform Society, formed a round of impact on the Cross Society, which had been dominating the imperial court. As Viscount Iscolan, Mrs. Michel, and Ibel came to the imperial capital one after another, the Reform Society formed a rivalry against the Cross Society.
Because of the strong trust of the Empress of the prison country, it seems only a matter of time before he is promoted to the chief minister of the empire and reorganizes the cabinet.
There are many new aristocrats who adapt to the changing circumstances, and applications for joining the Reform Society are piling up.
Contrastingly, the Reform Society exploded into great momentum as soon as it entered the center of the empire, and there was a cry within the Cross Society. They bet on the eldest prince Fania and the second prince Alec, and invested heavily. They thought they would make a sure profit, but they didn't.
Thinking of the second prince Alec being confined to the Crescent Grassland, he had an army but couldn't deploy it.
The coup of the eldest prince Fania ended in failure.
In the end, the queen who had been in the cold palace for three years succeeded in taking the throne, and was appointed as the queen of the prison by Emperor Augustine who was recovering from illness.
Now Queen Christina has three personal armies of the imperial royal family, and has the full support of the eldest princess Agatha and the governor of Raging Wave City, Meteor. She needs soldiers and officials.
Although the Cross Society is not completely defeated, it is still hanging on.
So a group of big brothers from the Cross gathered at the home of Gabriel, the chief minister, to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
A long table with more than twenty seats.
In the past, this place was jokingly called the empire's small cabinet. Many decisions were made here before they were submitted to the imperial cabinet meeting.
But the atmosphere of today's meeting was extremely depressing.
"No more concessions!" an old cabinet minister complained angrily: "Today, the undersecretary of the Imperial Ministry of Finance and Taxation, Millips, was demoted and transferred to West Limburg Province. The newly appointed undersecretary is the finance and tax chief of Raging Waves City.
Officer Ibur.
In addition, Viscount Iscolan, who was assigned to the Imperial Military Department, Mrs. Michel, the staff officer of the Supreme Technical Bureau, and Nishizawa, the deputy director of the St. Lun City Public Security Bureau.
If we continue to allow Meteor to install officials from Raging Waves City in the palace, soon the entire imperial palace will become the government affairs office of Raging Waves City, and the cabinet will be replaced by Meteor Star and his people.
Chief Assistant Gabriel, what should we do."
Another minister said helplessly: "What can we do? Her Majesty the Queen is the queen who was personally appointed by His Majesty to supervise the country. She fought a victory in Snow City that was enough to record the history of the empire, and she also crushed Fania's rebellion.
Her reputation and His Majesty's trust are enough for her to do everything she wants to do.
Any action we take against her will be punished by her for participating in Fania's rebellion."
"The reason why we have nothing to do now is because we are still needed to maintain the stability of the palace and the order of the empire. Once the incident is over and the officials of the Raging Wave City are familiar with the work in their hands, we will all get out!"
"We should find a way to meet with His Majesty and let Him know the current situation in the palace. If Your Majesty knows that the Queen is cultivating cronies in this way, he will definitely stop it."
"But the problem is that only the Queen can see His Majesty. You have all seen the consequences of Fania forcing her way into His Majesty's palace!"
When the officials couldn't think of any countermeasures and could only complain, Gabriel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Everyone! Do you think that according to His Majesty's character, after knowing that Her Majesty the Queen won the Battle of Snow City and then pacified it?
After Fania's rebellion, will she be appointed as the queen of the country?"
Gabriel's words immediately plunged the venue into silence.
The people present here are all ministers who have lived in the palace for a long time. When he was mentioned a little bit, they immediately thought clearly about what Gabriel wanted to express.
Emperor Augustine held his power very tightly. He previously appointed the queen to handle state affairs because the queen had no foundation in the court and could take back her power at any time if she wanted to.
After the Battle of Snow City, the Queen especially put down Fania's rebellion.
The capital owned by the queen in the palace and the empire has undergone a subversive change compared to before.
According to the character of Emperor Augustine, how could he still appoint a queen to supervise the country? He must have directly withdrawn all power and let her return to the palace that belongs to her.
Abnormal!
Very abnormal!
unless……
Think of the unspeakable possibility.
An official said cautiously: "Chief Auxiliary Gabriel...but Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Governor of Falling Star, and the Knight Millscomb all confirmed that this order was personally issued by His Majesty."
Gabriel didn't answer.
Another official answered for him very wisely: "In the face of interests, anyone may lie."
The officials realized that they had found the key to overthrowing the Queen and a group of officials from Nutau City.
But what should be done?
Everyone looked at Gabriel together, their eyes full of eagerness and hope.
Gabriel said calmly: "At this time, it is best for us not to do anything. The Queen is in the limelight, and we have no chance of winning no matter what we do.
The best thing to do is to wait.”
"However, Meteor is pressing hard. If we don't do anything, we will soon be ignored by him and his people."
"If you want to isolate us, you can't do it in a short time, but he has to face a short-term crisis.
What is the current situation in the north? What is the response of the northern army to the order to transfer to the south?"
An official who knew the details immediately responded: "The Northern Army has no resistance to the transfer order and is actively handing over defense with the newly established Snow Army. His Royal Highness Sinclair and General Joel are also afraid that the Northern Army will stay in the north.
The part of the company has been eroded, so it is very cooperative with this transfer.
It is expected that 36% of the military strength in the north will move to the Tedega Hills during this mobilization, and the empire's mobilization troops will gradually replenish the Snow Legion before the end of winter."
Gabriel smiled: "The main force of the Northern Army has all gone to the Tedga Hills. Although the Snow Army has some of the foundation of the Northern Army, there are too many new recruits. The number of people is empty, but the combat effectiveness is definitely far behind.
Far weaker than the Northern Army in the Winter War.
Do you think that when the spring war begins, the Snow Legion can stop the attack of Yate County United?"
The official in charge of the military just replied: "There are many factors that affect war, and the quality of soldiers is a very important one. Especially in today's war, it is not just a knife that is given to farmers, but a qualified soldier. Soldiers need to be trained for a long time.
Especially the professional technical arms.
The Snow Legion was established too short and expanded too quickly, and they cannot stop the Yate County Alliance's attack."
Gabriel asked: "What will happen if the Snow Legion cannot stop Yate County United?"
"This is the situation faced by the Winter Empire. The troops of the Art County Alliance broke through the northern defense line, then quickly passed through the undefeable plain area, and marched directly to the imperial capital."
Gabriel asked again: "Did Meteor's city garrison have the ability to defend the imperial capital at that time?"
"No!" the official said categorically: "The City Guard Corps participated in the Fania Rebellion, and almost all the officers were implicated. Now the entire City Guard Corps is restricted to their respective military camps. If you want to restore mobility,
It would be impossible without half a year of officers' replenishment and adaptation.
If the Yate County Alliance comes to the imperial capital in the spring war, the city garrison will not have the ability to defend the imperial capital."
Gabriel asked again: "Who can guard the imperial capital at that time?"
The official immediately said excitedly: "Only the second prince Alec's Western Legion is undergoing reorganization at Crescent Oasis."
Gabriel said: "His Royal Highness Sinclair's Northern Army... also has a chance."
The hearts of all the officials immediately became hot again.
Whoever can lead his troops to defend the Imperial Capital when the Art Army arrives at its gates will be able to control the city by force.
At that time, you can expose the lies of the Queen, Agatha, and Meteor and become the new emperor of the empire.
And they, the imperial ministers who still hold real power, can negotiate with Prince Alec and Prince Sinclair at this time. Whoever gives more will help him enter the city first.
The atmosphere of the meeting greatly improved. One official flattered him and said: "Although Yue Xing is a capable young man, he is still a little immature compared to the chief minister.
In fact, according to the trend, when the chief minister retires, he still has a great chance to form a cabinet. But he is too impatient..."
"Young people tend to be impetuous when things go smoothly, but they don't know that once they reach this position, they will be doomed if they make one mistake. It's a pity..."
"There are also those who quit the Cross Society and ran to join the Reform Society, but they didn't know that they were on a sinking ship..."
While the big bosses of the Cross Society were in taunting mode, the Innovation Society was also holding a meeting with important members.
The meeting took place in the villa Luke acquired from Agatha.
In the conference room, Luke looked at the subordinates sitting on both sides, feeling as if he was having a meeting in the Government Affairs Hall of Raging Waves City.
At this time, Luke had been promoted from viscount to marquis, with the title "Marquis of Raging Waves", and his fiefdom was the Cape District of Raging Waves City. The Cape District became Luke's private property, and Queen Christina's gift this time was not unreasonable.
In addition, Luke served as the commander of the Saint-Lun City Guards Corps.
Imperial Cabinet Minister.
He also serves as the governor of Raging Waves City.
At the same time, Luke resigned from the position of director of the Secret Service's Secret Service Six. At his suggestion, he was succeeded by Thomas, the detective of the Cape District Secret Service in Raging Waves City.
The Queen did not have her own team, so she relied heavily on Luke and the official system of Nu Tiao City behind him. Luke did not ask for many positions, but the Queen directly asked him: Which official from the Nu Tiao City Government Affairs Department is the most suitable for this position?
.
So there is the current scene, where Luke's team in Raging Waves City has almost moved to Saint-Lun City.
To be continued...
