Chapter 1,141 The Difference Between the Emperor and His Subjects
The Imperial Prime Minister, Grand Duke Angie Rizal, who was temporarily summoned to the palace, had a bad premonition.
After being slapped in the face by that man with a bloody flag, he could only think of one reason. But not only did he handle the whole matter perfectly, but he also hadn't been discovered for so many years. Why is it happening today?
What worried him even more was the emperor's attitude. For the old emperor and himself of similar age, government affairs would basically be handled in the morning, and they would only control the general direction. Naturally, young officials will complete the details, and their own task is just to review and check. In other words, this kind of summons near evening is very abnormal.
If it is an important military and national event, there is nothing wrong with a temporary summons. But which country around here dares to challenge the empire? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a blind person. If a king-level monster suddenly appears somewhere, this may be a disaster of the level of annihilation in the eyes of other small countries, but the empire also has standard procedures for handling related matters. Things of this level are simply not qualified to be placed on the emperor's agenda. case.
So...what could it be for?
Thinking of the consequences of that incident being discovered, even this old fox, who has been immersed in politics for a long time and has a face as thick as a city wall, can't help but feel a splitting headache. In my heart, I hoped that the man would raise the blood flag for other reasons. The problem is that other things should not constitute a reason for him to do this.
The automobile industry seems to be a huge profit, but for a grand duke's net worth, it is just the icing on the cake. Even if it's gone, it won't hurt your muscles and bones. He had taken quite a lot of things from him, and I didn't see him clinging to anything more valuable than the automobile industry. So this shouldn't be a reason for blood flags. So...are you trying to settle some old scores?
The old man who is lucky is unwilling to think about things in the worst direction. Instead, he kept making excuses for this old opponent he knew very well, but he denied them one by one.
Before finding the final answer, Angie Risa had already arrived at the emperor's study room under the leadership of the palace attendants. The soft sound of communication brought his attention back to reality.
When he stepped through the door, he seemed to have entered a different world. In the study at dusk, the servants were lighting the lights everywhere. However, the emperor sitting behind the imperial court seemed to be shrouded in gloom, with only a pair of eyes that did not look like an old man, staring at the person who entered the door.
The bad premonition in my heart tilted a little towards the worse side. The Grand Duke of Rizal still saluted with flawless court etiquette and said: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the important thing is for the summoner to come here?"
One of the reasons why the old emperor would appreciate him is that he doesn't talk much nonsense. So after a brief greeting, Angie Risa went straight to the topic and tried to dominate the topic. But many times, a little cleverness can't affect anything. Even though the magic light in the study could illuminate the room as brightly as daytime, the shadow that shrouded the emperor's face did not dissipate.
"What have you done?" Emperor Armin Kazharnia said in a cold voice. The words sounded like a question, but there was no intention of getting an answer. But this level is enough to make people realize that everything has been exposed.
Even though he belongs to the peak of power in all the countries in the land, the old Duke still looks solemn and speechless. Cold sweat broke out on my head and back. I was thinking of ways to deal with it in my mind, but none of them were sure.
The old emperor didn't seem to have thought about it, waiting for the person in front of him to respond. He continued to say coldly: "Speaking of which, I am really old, and my judgment on many things is not as good as before. You should be lucky, I just smashed everything on the table. Looking back, I should have left a few things. Now I can hit you on the head."
"Your Majesty..." Duke Rizal said dryly.
"I just don't understand, is a woman worth doing this?"
Like breaking a jar, the old Duke shouted out the dissatisfaction he had accumulated over a long period of time: "How come he can get everyone's favor and admiration! And I tried my best to support him, but I was still criticized for holding back and holding back." The despicable villain with legs? Including Elena, and the woman who looked like Elena, they were all taken in by their father and son. She was the one I fell in love with first! Why should I be the one who lost everything? "
"Oh, it's over. Are you happy?" the old emperor said coldly: "He is just a sword, and you are a person qualified to play chess, and you are actually jealous of the sword in your hand? The stupidity you showed makes me feel I used to look up to you."
The cold words made people understand that in the eyes of the old emperor, there was nothing but power. This is the mentality of a person who is truly at the top of his game. However, the old Duke still has human jealousy, which is undoubtedly second-rate.
Realizing the weakness of the person in front of him, Emperor Armin said in a calm voice: "Mr. Rizal, I think the affairs in your territory will be very busy next, so please take off the brooch from your chest. The important task of the empire, I'll delegate it to someone else. Just concentrate on your own troubles."
When the old Duke heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to give up on me and choose that person?"
"No, my choice has always been correct, because I always choose the winning side. After all, only those who survive can continue to help me, right. So before you leave, remember to leave the brooch." The old emperor He tapped the imperial case lightly with his finger, and then waved his hand, making his intention to leave quite clear. At the same time, he waved to the attendants who had fetched the paperwork to come forward and rearrange the table.
"The pursuit of power is just to satisfy your own desires. But your desire is power itself. Compared with me, how noble is it!" the old Duke said sternly.
"Oh." The old emperor changed his humble attitude towards the person in front of him, and looked at him interestingly, as if he had discovered something new. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved in a sneer.
The old Duke, who said what was in his heart, continued to criticize without any scruples: "You said you didn't choose anyone, but if you don't help me, doesn't it mean you made a choice between me and that person. One side is an invincible commander, and the other side is a conspirator who only knows how to play tricks."
"Do you think so? So before today, you suppressed that old guy Ricardo and even kicked him out of the palace. Did I ever stop you?"
"Don't think about how clever you are in your power play. There is no limit. Even a demon dares to enter the harem and give birth to that big trouble. Is this better?"
"First of all, I want to make it clear that the imperial concubine you are talking about is a succubus, not a devil. In addition, that son is my most proud masterpiece. See how none of you can do anything to him, can you say that I Isn't this son an excellent son? If you can only play the chess pieces you hold in your hands, then I can only say that it is a joke to regard you as my mentor and helpful friend in this life. Leave, my old friend. You have to yourself You have to find a way to get through the next level before you are qualified to continue standing here and talking to me. Before that, it is all redundant."
