Chapter 571 The Prince Has Reached Adulthood? Who Can Tell?
Chapter 571 The prince comes of age? Who can say for sure...
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has given in. The repair and reconstruction of the north of the city must be put on the agenda. If we go against the plan, it will give Lan Youshan an excuse to launch an attack. Her Royal Highness the Princess can also legitimately reduce the power in our hands. Everyone, you should also shed some blood. ”
In the manor of the new Speaker Von Braun, several people who had previously opposed Bai Ye's ascension to the throne gathered together.
After Von Braun finished speaking, Jude, the governor of the Ilia Administrative Region, pondered for a moment: "The north of the city was the first battlefield after the tree people broke through. Now it is full of ruins, with almost no repair value... If you ask me, do it. That’s enough, why waste time on people and money?”
The other Marquis of Garcia shook his head: "Her Royal Highness is young. We can use various excuses to delay her accession to the throne, but what needs to be done should be done well. Otherwise, we will send the handle ourselves? Jude Governor, you have not been in the imperial capital in the past, so you may not know enough about it, but this matter cannot be delayed. "
Von Braun also nodded and said: "The Marquis is right, the repair and reconstruction of the imperial capital is imperative. If we grasp Her Royal Highness's concern for the overall situation, then we must give this overall situation enough leverage. The princess takes a step back, We must not push for an inch, on the contrary, we must give the princess enough respect and face.”
He leaned back in his chair and showed a bit of the cunning look of an old fox: "The best option is to drag. As long as we do well enough, the princess will have no chance to attack - besides..."
The Marquis of Garcia took over and said with a smile: "Besides, everyone knows that reconstruction in the north of the city is difficult, and no one can escape the problem even if the time is extended. We each contribute our own money and efforts to repair it normally. We just need to delay the time. Let the twelfth prince meet the age requirements for inheriting the throne, and then he will have the most things to fight for. "
Seeing that Governor Jude was still hesitant, Garcia exchanged a look with von Braun, and the latter smiled and said: "The Governor came from the Ilia Administrative Region, so we naturally have an idea. Don't worry, most of the resources needed for the reconstruction work are due." The Marquis and I will go out, and the Governor will send your soldiers to recruit migrant workers. How about that?"
Jude, who had the lowest net worth, was not willing to pay too much. For him, Bai Ye's rise to power was not much different from that of the twelfth prince. No one would remove him from his position as governor. However, after entering the imperial capital, these two old foxes came to the door and promised many benefits, and then they chose to side with each other.
Rebuilding the city in the north of the city would have to pay a lot of money. He felt sorry for the financial resources. Now that the two of them promised that he only needed to send people, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Jude immediately smiled and said: "In that case, then I will listen to you two adults."
Garcia and Von Braun exchanged a look, and the disdain in their eyes flashed.
If you can't let go of the child, you can't trap the wolf. After all, Governor Jude is acting as his local emperor in a place outside the center of power, and he has no vision.
If the twelfth prince takes over, the reward they can get will be far greater than what they paid today - but it is a good thing that Jude has no vision. Anyway, the two of them only came to see each other because of the strength of the other party.
Now that the imperial capital is in catastrophe, the remaining military headquarters are basically in Bai Ye's hands. They need forces that can compete with them. The Ilia Administrative Region military headquarters in Jude's hands, plus the military headquarters secretly controlled by Garcia Another army in the administrative area of Yuhu City has the capital to compete with Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Of course, just to compete, on the surface, they still need to maintain awe of Her Highness the Princess.
Everything has to wait until the twelfth prince reaches adulthood - originally, even if the twelfth prince reaches adulthood, he has nothing to do with the throne, but the heroic spirit of the second emperor of the empire gave him the qualification to inherit the throne. .
This matter is not justified, but Bai Ye cannot legitimately inherit the throne, so there are many places to make a fuss about it.
What's more, Bai Ye is a woman after all, and all the previous emperors of the empire are men. This is also one of the excuses that can be used.
There is only one most important thing now, which is to use various methods to delay Bai Ye's ascension to the throne until the twelfth prince reaches adulthood.
In the manor, three old foxes with their own thoughts raised their teacups and drank them like celebratory wine.
…
"Hmph, those three guys still have to hold a ceremony on the opening day. They are procrastinating and procrastinating on everything!"
The palace collapsed, and today's government affairs are basically discussed in Baiye's manor, while the guest rooms have transformed into the side halls of the palace in the past, often where officials gathered in private situations.
At this moment, Speaker Lan Youshan was throwing a pile of information on the table with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's wrong, Mr. Speaker, you're so angry?" The door was pushed open, and Bai Ye, who was becoming more and more elegant, walked in.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess." A group of officials saluted quickly.
Screening away the others, Bai Ye sat down and poured a cup of tea for Lan Youshan, and said with a smile: "Mr. Speaker, what trouble have you encountered?"
Lan Youshan took it respectfully, but now that he was completely on Bai Ye's side, he naturally had something to say, and immediately said displeased: "The reconstruction work in the north of the city has begun, and Von Braun also held a groundbreaking ceremony. From early morning to sunset, only a shovel was moved there!”
Bai Ye's face remained as usual: "The anger in the city is low now, so it would be good to have some sense of ceremony. At least the workers can have a good meal."
Lan Youshan took a sip of tea, but his face was still full of anger: "Your Highness, there is nothing I can't say. Those people are just delaying the construction period and hindering your ascension to the throne! In my opinion, they have eaten the heart of a leopard." Courage!”
The protagonist who ascended the throne was not impatient at this moment. Instead, he advised: "It's okay to mop it up for a day. Besides, isn't work starting now? I think it's a normal progress."
Please...you...collect_6_9_书_Bar (Six//Nine//Books//Bar)
Lan Youshan frowned and said: "It was normal in the past, but it is different now. The city is full of ruins and there are many unemployed people. Your Highness, I say it more recklessly... Alas, the people have no jobs. As long as you give them money, If you can work, you can hire one person based on the previous salary, but now you can hire five!”
"But Von Braun and the others are still working according to the past progress, which is obviously delaying the reconstruction time! So many positions that were supposed to be there were suddenly reduced by four-fifths! Damn it!"
Damn it, these words were already very serious. However, Bai Ye was neither angry nor trying to persuade him any more. He just smiled and said: "At least the work is going on, which is better than nothing."
Lan Youshan glanced at Bai Ye and saw that her expression remained unchanged. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Highness, this is not a matter of construction period... I am not afraid of offending anyone. Those few of them are just dragging the twelfth prince to adulthood, and then Use the incident of the heroic spirit to gain his qualifications to inherit the throne!"
Bai Ye rolled up the hair on his forehead and said softly: "The possession of heroic spirits is real. I have to consider the overall situation. If I take the throne forcibly, the hearts of the people in this empire will be scattered."
Lan Youshan frowned: "Then if we wait until the twelfth prince reaches adulthood, what if... what if this heroic spirit possesses him and does something else?"
Bai Ye raised his head, with a calm and gentle look in his eyes.
However, what she said made Lan Youshan's heart beat slightly faster.
"It will take some time for the twelfth brother to reach adulthood. Besides...who can say for sure what will happen during this period?"
