In everyone's feelings, His Majesty the Emperor became more serious, harsh and strict. He still maintained the good habit of accepting different opinions, but was more obsessed with his orders being executed without fail. Many people in the palace have been punished, but they have not done their best in their work. If it is to be punished or not, they should be punished. It is just that His Majesty the Emperor would criticize and encourage him in the past, but now they will be whipped.
People think that His Majesty the Emperor is under tremendous pressure. The entire Second World Blood Meteor is already very tired on his shoulders. Aren’t those who cannot complete their jobs causing trouble? There are also those speculative nobles who are capricious and want to bet on both sides, and they cannot do what they promised, and they deserve to be thrown into the dungeon. His Majesty the Emperor can do what he says. If he wants to solve the problem, he will solve it. If he wants to block the blood meteor, he will block it. If he wants to distribute fields and seeds and farm tools, even if he starts a war and clears the national treasury, isn’t it allocated?
Through the minstrel, the image of His Majesty's words and faithfulness gradually became established. Because these propaganda are based on facts, and there is a teleportation array between the working group and the capital to shorten the distance, the transmission efficiency is very high, and it goes deep into the grassroots, far exceeding the traveling pastors of the church. However, in addition to the facts, some fragments of information are combined and sent to the public.
"Many nobles were afraid of our Majesty, so they gave a lot of money to the church. Do you know why?"
Tavern chatting is often the fastest way to exchange information, especially when someone gives wine and supports it.
"They want to send their precious son to church. Tsk tsk, the day before, the stinky brat who was hunting and playing with women, became an intern paladin and a pastor the next day... I don't want my daughter to go to church in the future, even in a good church."
"Think about it, this was originally intended to be given to Your Majesty when surrendering, so those guys weren't deliberately digging Your Majesty's corner?" Someone drank a few cups, blushed, and his voice was flushed, but he was not drunk. "The seeds, farm tools, plowing oxen, so His Majesty took it out of his own money and gave it to the national treasury. Although the country belongs to Your Majesty, do you feel sorry if you take out the money?"
"If you think about it again, pick up the people and collect the money. Why does the current Holy Trinity Castle cancel the title of His Majesty the King? Do you understand?" This man was drinking and complaining. Although his voice was deliberately low, everyone could still hear: "There are strange things happening now. The saints who the goddess personally recruited can also be cancelled by mortals. If it is an angel, I think it is credible."
Such "strange words" immediately caused a rebound. After all, in the habits of many people, questioning the church has never been an option. "Shut up! Are you here deliberately smearing the church? Have you forgotten who is blessing and protecting the Yongli continent? Who brings everyone a kind and bright future?"
"A saint blocked the terrible Terrasque beast. Now he is not a saint. Why don't you explain to me what happened?" The drinker raised his cup to his opponent and said, "If you encounter something you can't figure out, you have to ask. Isn't this the goddess' teaching?"
If you have a beginning, you will have doubts to do the rest of the matter by yourself. Since there is no convenient teleportation communication network like the working group, the grassroots pastors and priests do not know how to answer these questions. When they realize that suspicion is growing in large quantities and the reputation of the church is being damaged, they will react and report the information. Then, relying on the method of carrying horses, they will announce the truth: His Majesty the Emperor's title of saint was resigned by himself.
The church's previous statement was that "Feige Hall became the emperor, so it was not suitable to serve as a saint" - this is a statement that retains the dignity of the nobles on both sides. However, the dignity is warm, and the facts are as cold as steel. When the two conflict, the face cannot beat the iron. Feige grabbed the iron and secretly slapped the church's face. When the church announced the truth, it was too late, so it turned into a mistake and added a mistake.
"The church of truth and thunder cannot be separated from truth and thunder. The former must tell the truth, and the latter must be fast." Feiqi called the Minister of Information Mathers to him and said this to him. "I have the same requirements for you. Tell the truth and be fast. If you are not sure, just say it. If you are investigating, tell it quickly. This time your minstrels have done a good job, but they are always a double-edged sword, so be careful to control it in your hands."
Overall, Mathers is very satisfied with this result. In recent times, His Majesty the Emperor has become more and more like His Majesty, and his majesty has slowly caught up with his strength. Many people feel uncomfortable, such as Eddie and Tron. However, this does not include Mathers.
In the mind of the intelligence leader, His Majesty the Emperor is more pure and easier to understand, especially compared with the past. Think about it, a strong guy who can face Terrasque alone and win the battle, smiling all day long and relaxed, looks frightened. The superiors must have the corresponding appearance. The emperor is definitely not a priest who sends people sadness.
To consolidate the emperor's power, we must constantly compress the space for other powers. Mathers is very clear about how the noble coalition hindered the previous king, and also understands that Andrew was unknowingly bound by the church because of the paladin's habits. Now, His Majesty the Emperor can get rid of the false reputation of the saints, let go of his hands and feet, first clear away the remaining nobles in the country, hold the power in his hands, and then constantly exclude the influence of the church.
Finally, I could see a different era than before. When Mathers thought of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Feiqi noticed this keenly and asked, "What did you think of to make you so happy?"
Since this conversation took place in Feich's study rather than in the Iron Throne, there was no third person besides them, Mathers could take the opportunity to express his feelings. He spoke of his thoughts on the elimination of the nobles and the restriction of the ancestral power, and expressed his firm standing beside His Majesty and being a loyal hawk...
"Just do what I have told you. I don't want to be a god, so I don't need loyalty."
Mathers was stunned. He never expected Feiqi to answer like this. He first felt that His Majesty the Emperor was tempting, but he also felt that this temptation was too simple and even a little naive, and it was not in line with His Majesty the Emperor's abilities at all. Is this the truth? A ruler who does not need a loyal one is such a ruler. Are you waiting to be overthrown?
"Now it seems that your wisdom is limited." Feige waved his hand and said, "The action to shake the image of the church is done well, so that your minstrel can push it, don't backfire. You have to start the next more important thing: to cooperate with the publicity of the winter offensive. From this winter, I will fight out the scope of the original United Kingdom of the Hoya. Eddie will make the residents who have moved here live well, but how to move here with peace of mind is what you have to worry about."
In history, wars between nobles often took place, and both sides often under the banner of justice. Feiqi did set out the original border this time, and such an action would never be only once. Mathers was excited about being able to serve a powerful empire, but at the same time he was also troubled by the work to be carried out in the process. Any excuse, as long as it is an excuse, cannot be reused again and again.
"Your Majesty, I can't come up with a good plan for the moment. Do you have any ideas about taking shape?"
"You must have your own ideas in the future." Feich's advice made Mathers more confused than before, and scared him to lower his head quickly. Feich seemed to have not noticed something strange, and his tone remained stable, without any emotion, and continued: "Just say I want to build a magic tower to eliminate blood-colored meteors. My magic tower can only protect a certain range and cost a lot, so wherever my territory goes, the magic tower will go."
"Your Majesty, is this what the ten magic towers in the first phase of the project used?"
Feiqi shook his head: "The earliest ten magic towers were arranged along the Sunset Mountains. They are the foundation, the foundation and energy source of the defense towers afterwards. Well... If you are not a magician, I won't tell you more specific things. Remember, your minstrels should cooperate with the working group, control your mouth, talk nonsense, and cause trouble by themselves, and be punished for treason."
"Yes! Treason and murder are death row crimes." Mathers answered reflexively, and he also thought of the recently promulgated "The Emperor Code". It is a set of masterpieces composed of thirty-six laws in different aspects. From basic principles, specific regulations, legal case notes to execution methods, the scale of over one million words makes people feel tingling. Of course, what is even more shocking is that the "The Code" was taken out, which was exactly the same, and filled a whole room. No one knows when they were written and when they were printed.
"Remember, the cases in this code can be turned into stories to find some jobs for your minstrels." Feige waved his hand and asked Mathers to leave - because he knew that Thunder White was approaching through the Eye of Corktal.
Under Thunder White's arm is a "Code", which is the most important and heaviest of all punitive laws. This set of codes was drafted by Feiqi's contract demons, and then the little devils were simplified and modified. The contract demons are good at nesting layers, connecting front and back, and sealing the legal text forms. It is too difficult to find loopholes or shortcomings from it. However, their writing style is too obscure and difficult to understand. It requires the little devil, who is proficient in small frauds, to simplify it in an entry-level language.
Then, Feiqi combined his ideas to revise the entire code, eliminated the obvious hell style, and removed a very important law from it, about the management law of non-governmental organizations. This caused loopholes in his entire code system, but neither the hell devils in charge of drafting or the Yongli mainlanders who saw this code, they would not know this.
Feiqi handed this code to the members of the inner court for them to study, and then it would be directly issued to each working group as their basis for their work. The laws left behind in the old kingdom were still formulated according to the rules that kings were above the law, nobles were above the punishment, knights were above the civilians, and priests were no longer suitable for the current empire.
Everyone knows that the new law will definitely come into being, but they really didn't expect it to be so detailed and so quickly. The inner court members thought that Feiqi also had a team of staff with very powerful abilities, but no one thought about the devil's direction. Rumors about His Majesty the Emperor being a devil once appeared, but there was no market at all, and it soon disappeared.
Thunder Bai hurriedly came to him for this law. She was the fastest and had the memory of the goddess of truth and wisdom, so she was particularly sensitive to some provisions in the code. Feiqi had guessed that she would come, so he raised his hand and began to draw magic runes in the air.
After the news, Lei Tingbai entered the study and was immediately attracted by the magic runes in the air. Since she figured out that Yaoguang's prophecy was actually the deception of the Creator, Lei Tingbai was not the destined savior, Feiqi has been much more relaxed and is in the mood to play with this smart student.
"Can you understand this rune magic array?" Feiqi drew the core part of the magic array to be used on the magic tower to show her. This action was actually a bit risky. He kept observing Lei Tingbai, paying attention to every subtle movement of her. It could be seen that Lei Tingbai was indeed thinking hard, but it was still far from coming up with the answer. She was a little angry and unconfident, and then she pulled her eyes away from the magic array as Feiqi expected, and then pressed the code under her arm on the emperor's desk.
"You want to distract me again..." Lei Ting pouted. She looked like a child at this time. Every time Feiqi saw her, she would involuntarily connect her image with the goddess, so she felt very interesting. "I think Your Majesty is a very interrupted person. I can't accomplish my expected goal every time I come, and there will be more work. I won't know this time! I won't know!"
Fei Qi smiled slightly and removed the magic circle. Lei Tingbai stretched out his hand to the magic circle, "Hey hey! @[email protected],!" Her mouth was even more raised, but Fei Qi closed her smile. Very well, Lei Tingbai couldn't understand this magic circle, so after encapsulating the core, she couldn't understand it, and then all the work could be arranged.
"Let's talk about the serious matter." Feiqi immediately occupied Thunder Bai's thoughts and pointed to the code and said, "It seems that you are not satisfied with some of the provisions inside?"
"This is a very detailed code, which can take care of all aspects. It is a very powerful work." Lei Tingbai first praised a few words, and then said: "But I think it is too severe. There are many death penalty, and some are cut into ears, noses, and tongues, which are too cruel."
"It's cruel. I think so, but it's very necessary and will definitely produce good results." Feiqi said: "In fact, within the nobles, each lord manages his own territory, and the punishment is much more serious than this. Have you ever seen or heard of people slowly drowning on a waterwheel? No one can hold his breath day and night and breathe the interval, and he doesn't want to die, but he knows that he can't last for three days. Compared to those, I'll give a knife, which is a great improvement."
"Uh..." Lei Tingbai shook his body for a moment, and then he barely raised his spirits and said, "After you say that, I'll have nightmares tonight. I mean, can I add the mechanism of atonement so that they can change their mistakes? You are also a pastor of atonement confession, right?"
"Of course I support reforming, but the punishment is for what happened before, and reforming is for what happened later. The future should not be reflected in the past. This is the basic principle." Feiqi said: "As for confession of atonement, it is the work of the church, not the emperor."
"Can the church be allowed to save the hearts of these people?"
