Chapter 855, Figure Poor Dagger and Cheka

PS: At the end of the month, the 5,500-word chapter is asking for a subscription and a ticket. By the way, I’m also asking for a guaranteed monthly ticket for the next one. The emperor is here to thank everyone!

Imperial calendar 2513, at the end of July, Marienburg parliament building, the upper and lower chambers.

The Knight King of Britannia, Ryan Machado, took his wife Queen Suria's hand, sat behind the VIP seats, and watched the confronting Empire and Marienburg.

The main ones on the imperial side are Emperor Karl Franz himself, Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffon, and Ludwig Schwarzhammer, the Emperor's standard bearer. Around them, Rick Guards and The Griffin Knights stood in a row, watching everyone in Marienburg with very hostile eyes, and many Rick guards put their hands on the hilts of their swords.

On the other side, the Upper and Lower Houses of Marienburg, especially those top-ranked merchants and the Archbishop of Sea God, are sitting at the front. They represent most of the interests and attitudes of Marienburg. The regiment's chief, Blackbeard Edward Teach, was also present, which showed Marienburg's attitude.

The two sides are discussing the dispute about this matter loudly, and both sides have sent representatives to tell the story of this matter. What is not in dispute is that the emperor was attacked by the Judun guards just after entering Marienburg. There was such an inexplicable battle on the street in the city, and it can be confirmed that the Judon Guards fired their weapons first, and then the emperor prepared to fight, and then the musketeers of the Judon Guards opened fire first.

And the most controversial part is: the emperor led people into the city at night, why didn't the city defense army immediately inform the two chambers of Marienburg and send people to receive them?

Marienburg's point of view is that Emperor Karl came without warning, and used the identity of the emperor to directly enter the city without notifying the two houses in advance.

The empire’s point of view is that Marienburg is the territory of the empire. Just enjoying complete autonomy does not mean that it is an independent kingdom. As the emperor, Karl Franz and his entourage do not need to notify anyone when they enter the city. Marienburg Neither side has the right to prevent him from entering the city.

The second most controversial point is, what is the reason for the Judon guards to open fire?

Marienburg believes that this is purely Hugemans's personal action and has nothing to do with Marienburg.

The empire presented Hugmans' confession, and the other party admitted that he was "temporarily obsessed" and chose to attack the emperor temporarily, and the empire also found "evidence" in the Judun Chamber of Commerce, which was the crown that the Judun royal family privately built However, after the emperor only showed the crown and said that he would bring it back to Brunswick, unexpectedly he did not pursue it fiercely, but took it with him.

This situation caught the merchants of Marienburg by surprise. They spent a lot of energy and prepared a lot of materials to show that they really didn't know. Even Archbishop Aldrich was ready to swear to Sea God Mannan. The ceremony turned out to be all in vain.

On the contrary, the emperor's actions made him appear magnanimous and possess the broad mind that an emperor should have, which made Marienburg look like a villain and care about every detail.

In an instant, Marienburg fell into a disadvantage - the emperor doesn't care about you anymore, what are you still worrying about?

Seeing this situation, Ryan frowned all the time, and the King of Knights shook his head helplessly seeing Marienburg's somewhat weak defense.

In fact, Ryan knew what was going on before Archduke Schulz notified him - he had sent the Old Guards to stay at the Dwarf Artisan Association. How could he not know that the Judon Guards were going for the dwarves? Woolen cloth?

But the most embarrassing part is here. Fort Marien may have guessed that the Judon guards are going to the dwarves, but can this thing be said?

Has attacked the emperor,

Are you going to mess with the dwarves again?

Does messing with the dwarves also mess with Britannia and the Legion of Ashes?

It is also because of this that Marienburg has been unable to give a reason for "what did Hugmans and his Judon guards originally plan to do" after the attack on the emperor had already occurred, so when the emperor took a bite After insisting that this was a large-scale fighting that occurred in a misunderstanding, Marienburg could only admit it.

This is the loss of the initiative, but there is nothing to do about it. The expression on Ryan's face remains the same, but he is actually not happy to see this situation, and he even knows in his heart that Karl Franz will never let anyone go. A chance to reclaim Fort Marien.

It may be a good thing for the empire to take back Marienburg, but for Ryan, this is not in the national interest of Brittania. The King of Knights will never be happy to see the emperor take back Marienburg. Since he is the king of knights, he must seek for the kingdom of Brittania. This is a qualified king.

But he is now passive and lacks an excuse to intervene in this matter. The King of Knights can only watch the scene quietly.

"It's such a coincidence that it's so illogical, my dear." Surya took her husband's hand, and the female knight said softly, "It's unbelievable that things will turn out like this. Now Karl Your Majesty, he has found an opportunity, but we still don't understand what is hidden behind him."

"There are so many illogical things in this world. Comedies need logic, but tragedies don't." Ryan held Suria's little hand and whispered: "We lack an excuse to intervene, ma'am, what we have to do now It’s to see how Carl can achieve his goal.”

"Well, Ryan, I don't think Brittania can lose this free port and buffer zone." Suria said in Ryan's ear: "Although this is sorry for the emperor, we can't stand on his side this time."

"The high elves are here too." Ryan cast his gaze not far away, sitting on the VIP seat, holding wood elf fruit wine in his hand, and the high elves' ambassador to the old world, Temag-don-Carben, who looked unlucky. Standing behind the ambassador were two fully armed Lothern Sea Guards with shields. He looked at the scene of the parliament with a sullen expression on his face. His Excellency Teclis is about to arrive. If this happened at this time, wouldn't it be for his ambassador? One more blemish in your life?

Why are these monkeys so stupid? Why didn't you all die together? When will these monkeys be extinct?

Veins popped out of Temag's head. He didn't want to participate in this kind of boring thing at all, but he knew that he had to participate, because it was likely to involve Iftao—the last time of Gao Jing in the old world. An enclave!

Forgan tasted the wine and tuna sashimi very elegantly, and he just listened quietly.

In Parliament, the debate continues.

Emperor Karl Franz was wearing the emperor's armor. He said calmly: "According to the peaceful unification agreement signed by Sigismund II and the Kingdom of Judun, Marienburg is undoubtedly a part of the empire. According to the founding ceremony of His Majesty Ludwig, the savior of the world, although Marienburg enjoys complete autonomy, the empire handed over Marienburg to you, and you must also take responsibility for managing Marienburg well, am I right? "

"Since Marienburg has been handed over to the two houses by His Majesty the Savior, we will naturally work hard to govern the city. Hundreds of members of our upper and lower houses are working hard for the prosperity and stability of Marienburg all the time. According to the founding ceremony, Only when Fort Marien encounters an 'unsolvable' problem, you can apply to the Empire for help, instead of the Empire taking the initiative to help us." Schultz said slowly: "This happened, we all in Marienburg Both Houses have responsibilities, and we will never evade this point. From now on, we will reorganize the House of Lords. As for the business of the Judun Chamber of Commerce, we can divest it and hand it over to the Empire for inventory."

"Reorganize the parliament?" Karl Franz shook his head: "Your Excellency Schulz, I don't think that the reorganization of the parliament can solve the current problem. For your mistakes this time, I can let the past go, but His Majesty the Savior handed over Marienburg In your hands, it is not for you to cultivate a member of parliament who dares to attack the emperor in the street!"

Before Marienburg could speak in the future, Karl Franz immediately said: "Of course, I believe that all of you here, those who are willing to come to the scene, and all the congressmen who are willing to come forward after the matter is over, are all Okay, but who can guarantee that everyone will have no problems? Actually, on the street, I, as the emperor of the empire, can encounter this kind of attack on the scale of hundreds of people. Members, masters of Marienburg, You are really incompetent!"

"All of this is at the discretion of the Judon Chamber of Commerce. Your Majesty Carl, you know the identity of Hugmans. He is a descendant of the Judon royal family. He has the right to command his own private army." Grey, member of the Marienburg House of Lords Meier said: "We have no control over how he will be transferred."

"You can't control it? Then, if there is an assassination case on the streets of Marienburg, you can tell everyone in a grand manner that you can't control it?" The emperor's words were extremely sharp: "The savior generously gave complete autonomy Entrusted to you, this is how you govern Marienburg?"

"Judun Chamber of Commerce and Hugmans have been responsible for this matter..." Viscount Casanova, the second largest merchant in Marienburg, said: "Your Majesty is frightened. This is the responsibility of all of us. Regarding compensation, Your Majesty can go directly from the vault of the Judun Chamber of Commerce..."

"I didn't make anyone responsible, and what I'm talking about is not about compensation!" The emperor continued to press forward: "I'm talking about the autonomy of Marienburg! Let me ask you, the complete autonomy of Marienburg is to let you control the law and order. What happened? Charlemagne, an emperor of the empire was attacked by the army of the empire while walking on the territory of the empire? You don’t think there is a problem? What are you trying to do?”

"My lord, what do you mean?" Archbishop Aldrich of the Sea God Church in Marienburg was displeased, and he came out and said to the emperor: "Mainnan, I can swear that the Sea God Church and I agree I don’t know everything, if His Majesty is dissatisfied with the law and order in Marienburg, we can restore law and order, or you can ask me to resign as Archbishop!"

"That's enough, Lord Aldrich, this is a public discussion in our parliament. No one is forcing you to take responsibility, nor is anyone forcing you to resign as Archbishop of Sea God. This is something that only Mannan can decide." Grand Duke Schulz said slowly He said: "Your Majesty was assassinated in our Marienburg. He naturally has to ask questions. We only need to be responsible for answering, and resign if there is no need to come up. On this issue, I, as the Grand Duke of Marienburg elected by the parliament, The first person to be responsible is me, if I want to resign, I will resign!"

"Your Majesty, what do you think? If you allow me, I can resign now, and the upper and lower houses of Marienburg can re-elect the Grand Duke." Schultz turned to the emperor and said, "Of course, I will continue to run for election. "

Emperor Karl Franz's face changed slightly.

If Schultz resigns, then Marienburg will immediately face a huge bloodbath. In the past 30 years, only the Grand Duke can subdue the princes of the business world, countless mercenary regiments and major churches, the human kingdoms of the Old World and even It is the diplomacy of the high spirits and dwarves (the embassy districts of all countries in the old world are established here), and Marienburg will be a big mess by then. This is not what the emperor wants to see. Schulz can drive it away, but now No, not until the Emperor takes control of Marienburg, no.

Furthermore, with Schultz's means and abilities, he was the one who was eventually selected. The emperor gave him a chance to rectify the interior of Marienburg in turn, and the Marienburg council would become more monolithic.

"I didn't say who should bear this problem." The emperor said immediately, and Karl took two steps and put down the long roll of parchment in his hand: "I said that this is the end of the Judun Chamber of Commerce. Hugemans was not clear at the time, and he was very nervous when he saw someone appearing in the dark, so he ordered to open fire. I did not intend to throw the problem on everyone present. What I want to emphasize is that this incident is not enough to explain the problem ? Such a bad law and order should not appear on the territory of the empire!"

"We will rectify the law and order to ensure that similar things will not happen again!" Schultz said immediately.

"Very good, how can you guarantee it?" The emperor finally seized the opportunity, and Karl Franz walked up to everyone, facing the distinguished guests and members of the parliament, and said loudly: "How can you guarantee that there will be no such thing in the future?" This kind of thing happened? The assassination of the emperor on the territory of the empire, what are you going to do if it happens a second time? Such a person can still sit in the fourth seat of the House of Lords in Marienburg. I am deeply worried about your safety, if the Emperor of the Empire cannot be protected within the territory of the Empire, how will you be responsible?"

"That's what I said, I don't need you to be responsible for this! Because you are not worthy now!" The emperor finally roared, and he threw Van Hoogemans' confession scroll on the ground: "Still, you Is it an organized and premeditated treason?! The imperial people conspired to assassinate the emperor on the territory of the empire?!"

Su Liya's eyes lit up in the VIP seat. The female knight realized that the emperor had completely controlled the topic. Ryan also nodded slightly, and the couple looked at each other and smiled.

Worthy of Emperor Karl Franz!

Now, Marienburg has been forced into a dilemma.

Serious security problems and the intention to assassinate the emperor, Marienburg must choose one, right?

The business princes in Marienburg suddenly turned pale. Grand Duke Schulz was in a dilemma. The emperor's words were words of hatred. Marienburg was also the territory of the empire no matter what. It was impossible to say that he was treason and intended to assassinate the emperor anyway.

Then we can only admit that it is a security issue: "Your Majesty, the security issue is indeed due to the poor management of our two houses."

"The nature is bad, the management is poor, the law and order are chaotic, and it has also caused diplomatic disputes. Now Knight King Ryan and Queen Suria, Lord Fulgan, the head of the Ash Legion, and the dwarf special envoy, Thorgreen, and the high-spirited ambassador, Taimag. They all stay in Fort Marien, and the law and order is so bad, which means that there is a problem with the management of Fort Marien by your upper and lower houses." Karl Franz finally tried to see him: "Of course, I understand you, Marienburg is in charge of businessmen, and businessmen are good at dealing with businessmen, but they are not good at dealing with saboteurs, nor are they good at sniffing out and finding people with ulterior motives like Hugmans."

"But it doesn't matter, you are the citizens of the empire after all. The empire will never forget Marienburg. My court has many experts who are responsible for assisting Marienburg and helping you maintain social order." The emperor nodded, his face showing He smiled heartily: "I've already thought of the name, it's called the Marienburg Cheka Committee, and I will send people to assist you to ensure security."

"Your Majesty, we don't need assistance, we can take care of ourselves." Schultz had already realized what the emperor wanted to do at this time.

"Can something like this happen because you can manage yourself?" Karl Franz interrupted Schultz with a standard smile: "This kind of thing will only have zero sums, countless times! Countless times this happened Fights and attacks of this scale! I mean, it happens every year, every month, every day! You really don’t need my help?”

"As your protector, I will give you an undeniable condition." The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up, but he did not show his teeth. Behind him, the sunlight from the glazed windows shone into the parliament building Inside, it shines on the emperor's back.

The emperor's body turned his back to the sun, drawing out a shadow that reached the Marienburg seat, his face was covered by the sun and was blurred.

Inside the parliament, there was complete silence, and none of the members of Marienburg dared to come out to answer. They looked at the emperor with eyes that dared not speak out. The emperor was a naked threat! Threatening Marienburg, even if Marienburg itself has no problems, Karl Franz can create problems!

At that time, the law and order will collapse, and the value of Fort Marien will be greatly reduced.

"Very well, since no one can object, then I declare that the Marienburg Anti-Correction Committee matter has been passed." The emperor finally showed a satisfied smile: "I will appoint experts, especially demon hunters. I came here to work with the security consultant, when the time comes, please cooperate to solve the security problem!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor turned around and left the council hall without looking back: "Go, go to the Judun Chamber of Commerce! I want to see if there are any prohibited items that have not been found!"

There are still members of Marienburg who want to prevent the emperor from leaving, but someone pulls him away immediately. Karl Franz is the emperor of the empire, and this is the territory of the empire. Who dares to prevent the emperor from moving freely?

Then the issue of law and order has risen again, and the emperor should send troops!

"A crushing defeat." The King of Knights looked at the frustrated and angry expressions of everyone in the upper and lower courts of Marienburg, and said with a wry smile: "As expected of Karl Franz, he played beautifully, Marienburg Completely lost the ability to resist."

"Ryan, what should we do now? The emperor obviously intends to gradually control Marienburg through this anti-counterfeiting committee." Suria whispered in her husband's ear: "This is not in line with our interests, Ryan, if the emperor If you do."

"Marienburg has no way to refute the emperor, just like what he guided. It is purely a matter of law and order and an attempt to assassinate the emperor. Marienburg can only admit that it is a matter of law and order." Ryan nodded slightly, and the King of Knights felt that things became interesting Leo: "Since it's an issue of public security and I can't manage it well, it's only natural for the emperor to send someone to 'assist' in management."

Ryan touched his bare chin, and the Knight King's face was full of admiration and vigilance.

Well, Carl, you are very good. Just one thing, you can make unlimited use of the problem to make the upper line go online to such an extent that Marienburg has suffered a crushing defeat.

It's a pity, for the national interests of the Knight Kingdom, I can't let you set up this anti-counterfeiting committee.

This time, I'm going to stand on Marienburg's side.
