Chapter 1141 The difference between ruler and minister
The Imperial Prime Minister, Grand Duke Angie Rizal, who was temporarily summoned to the palace, had a bad premonition.
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 details of that matter perfectly, but he also hadn't been discovered for so many years. Why did it happen today?
What worries him even more is the attitude of the emperor. For the old emperor and himself, who is of similar age, basically all government affairs will be handled in the morning, and they will only control the general direction. Of course, the younger ones will also take care of the details. The official went to complete it, and his task was just to review and check. In other words, this kind of summons near the evening was very abnormal.
If it is an important military and national event, there is nothing wrong with a temporary summons. But is there any country around that dares to provoke the empire? It has been a long time since there has been such a short-sighted person. If a king-level monster suddenly appears somewhere, this kind of thing will not happen in other small countries. In the eyes of the emperor, it may be a disaster of the level of annihilation, but the empire also has standard procedures for handling related matters, and matters of this level are simply not qualified to be put on the emperor's court.
So...what could it be for?
Thinking of the consequences of the 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 hope that man will raise his blood for other reasons. Qi. The problem is other things and 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 is gone, it will not be broken. I have taken away a lot of things from him, more than the automobile industry. I didn't see him clinging to the more valuable ones. So this shouldn't be the reason for the blood flag. So... is it to settle some old scores?
The old man who was lucky was unwilling to think about things in the worst direction. Instead, he kept finding excuses for his old opponent, whom he knew very well, but was denied by himself 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 gentle 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 up the lights everywhere. However, the emperor sitting behind the imperial desk seemed to be shrouded in gloom, except for a pair of different eyes. The old man's eyes were fixed on the person who entered the door.
The bad premonition in his heart was leaning towards the worse side. Grand Duke 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 admired him was that he didn'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, cleverness can't affect anything. Even in the study room The magic light could illuminate the room as brightly as daytime, but 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 seemed to be questioning, but there was no intention of getting an answer. But this level was enough to make people jealous? Rizal understood that everything had been exposed.
Even though he belongs to the peak of power in all the kingdoms of Lost Land, the old Duke still looks solemn and speechless. Cold sweat is pouring out from his head and back. He is thinking of ways to deal with it in his mind, but none of them are sure. .
The old emperor didn't seem to think about it and waited for the person in front of him to respond. He continued to say coldly: "Speaking of it, I am really old, and my judgment on many things is not as good as before. You should be lucky that I just put the things on the table by myself. They were all smashed. In retrospect, I should have saved a few things before they hit you on the head now."
"Your Majesty..." Duke Rizal said dryly.
"I just don't understand, is a woman worth doing this?"
Like breaking a jar, the old Duke roared out the dissatisfaction he had accumulated for a long time: "Why can he get everyone's favor and admiration! And I tried my best to support him, but I was still criticized as a hindrance and a drag on me." 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 have always looked up to you."
The cold words made people understand that in the eyes of the old emperor, there was nothing but power. This was the mentality of a man who was truly at his peak. However, the old duke still had the jealousy of a human being, which was 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." Old Emperor He tapped the imperial desk lightly with his finger, and then waved his hand, clearly indicating that he was leaving. At the same time, he waved to the attendants who had brought 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." As the person in front of him changed his humble attitude in the past, the old emperor seemed to have discovered something new, and showed an interesting look. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he sneered.
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 the devil dares to enter the harem and give birth to that big trouble. Is this stronger?"
"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, none of you can do anything to him, can you say that I
Isn’t this son an outstanding 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 do it yourself
You have to find a way to get through the next hurdle before you are qualified to continue standing here and talking to me. Before that, it's all redundant."
