Chapter 275 New Minister Meili

The imperial court meetings are not held every day.

And the grand court meetings like the one now, which involve almost all officials above a certain level in the imperial capital, are held only once a month.

This is why Micah chose this day to act.

Looking at Budd who had returned to the ranks of military officers, Micah suddenly chuckled and said, "Since the minister has been arrested, is the position of the minister vacant?"

Hearing Micah's question, the hall, which had already become a little noisy because of the arrest of the minister, immediately became a sensation.

Everyone quickly understood the emperor's idea.

He wanted to appoint a minister.

Thinking of this, the civil servants couldn't help but get excited.

If they were appreciated by the emperor, became ministers and gained the emperor's trust, they might not be able to replicate the deeds of Minister Onesta before.

After all, the reason why Minister Onesta was so powerful was all because of the emperor's trust.

In a sense, the minister who gained all the trust of the emperor exercised the emperor's power.

That's why he was so powerful.

"As your majesty said, the position of the minister, who is the head of the civil service, is now vacant. As the minister's deputy, I dare not overstep my authority at will. Please appoint a new minister."

The first person to come out and set an example was an older man.

Obviously, from his self-introduction, we can know that he is the second-in-command of the civil service and the most qualified person to be a minister.

And he also thinks so.

In his opinion, the emperor, who has never cared about the government, probably doesn't know anyone among the ministers except Minister Ernest and General Bud.

At this time, once he shows his identity and qualifications.

As long as the emperor has no other ideas.

The position of the minister will inevitably fall on him.

After all, the emperor is still a child. Compared with the busy and boring government, he should prefer playing.

Now he wants to appoint a minister, it should be just a playful intention.

Looking at the deputy minister who "recommended himself", Micah immediately understood his idea.

It must be said that if the little emperor was really present, maybe he would really do as he wished!

But unfortunately, it was Micah sitting on the dragon chair at this time.

In his mind, the position of the minister has already been chosen.

"Can you appoint her? That's good!"

Micah said with a smile: "I promised others that I would let her replace the position of Minister Ernest and let her show her talents."

"If it's possible, then I will appoint her as a minister."

Hearing Micah's words, everyone present was stunned.

Obviously, the emperor wanted to appoint someone other than those present.

General Bud thought more, and he immediately thought of the imperial envoy who took the emperor out of the palace.

When he thought of the other party's absurd behavior, General Bud wanted to stop Micah's behavior.

But when he thought of the ancestral precepts of "military generals are not allowed to interfere in politics", he stopped his impulse.

On the other side, Mika looked at the quiet crowd below and said with a chuckle: "Come out, Meili, you will be a minister from now on."

"She is the one who abducted His Majesty out of the palace? Is she an invisible imperial weapon user?"

"But she is really beautiful!"

Looking at Meili, who looked like a fairy, the people in the audience couldn't help but discuss, and various voices echoed in the hall.

"Your Majesty, no! She is a woman!"

The deputy minister who took the lead in expressing his opinion just now shouted loudly.

"But General Esdeath is also a woman! Do you look down on her?"

Mika said innocently.

"Ah?"

Hearing this, the people who originally opposed it couldn't help but be stunned.

For Esdeath, no one dared to look down on her.

Unlike the ministers who were powerful because of the emperor's trust, Esdeath was absolutely powerful.

Although they were both the strongest, everyone knew in their hearts that General Budd, who guarded the palace, was definitely not an opponent of Esdeath in terms of personal strength.

Besides, Esdeath is now leading the empire's army to fight against foreign nations.

Who dares to say bad things about her?

Because Esdeath's hobby is to abuse others, and she doesn't care about rewards such as money.

So she usually gives the rewards given by the emperor to her subordinates.

So in the army, Esdeath's influence is not weaker than that of General Bud, and even slightly surpasses it.

"But General Esdeath became a general by relying on his personal strength, but this woman is not even an official!"

The deputy minister continued.

"Alas, but I have already promised her. I can't be the emperor without these rights!"

"But!"

"Don't say but, it's Meli!"

Micah clapped his hands and said.

Faced with the emperor's tough speech, the deputy minister was stunned and didn't say anything.

After all, the emperor even said something heartbreaking, what else can he do?

Go against the emperor?

As a confidant promoted by the minister, how dare he do this!

At this time, it is still important to save his life.

Seeing this, the deputy minister could only helplessly say: "I obey your order."

Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground, Micah couldn't help but smile.

He had expected such a situation.

It would be impossible to promote a woman who had never been an official to the highest civil servant in the central government in a normal dynasty.

But at this time, it became possible.

First of all, because of the example of Esdeath before, people can't say anything about Meli's identity as a woman.

Secondly, under the leadership of General Bud, the military officers have always been indifferent to politics.

Think about the destruction of the empire by Minister Ernest before.

General Bud didn't care, so how could he care about Meli becoming a minister?

In his opinion, even a pig would be more suitable for the position of minister than Ernest.

And finally, and most importantly, the civil servants at this time are spineless.

Now the civil servants in the hall are either the party members of Minister Ernest or the double-faced people who follow the wind.

The truly backboned civil servants were either driven away by Ernest or killed by him.

Those who stayed were obedient.

And these people, like the party members of Minister Ernest, are now worried about their future and whether they will be implicated by Ernest. How could they go against the little emperor at this time?

Even Ernest, who tried to coax him, was killed by him because of a disagreement.

The little emperor was in great power at this time.

As for the remaining double-faced people, they would not go against the little emperor at this time.

They were waiting for Ernest's followers to step down, so that they could make room for them and then replace them.

And this undoubtedly requires the emperor's approval.

At this time, they did not ask the emperor to pay attention to them, but only asked not to leave a bad impression in the eyes of the emperor.

Then their future would be ruined.

After all, children still hold grudges.
