Of course the emperor recognized the young man from Muhashebeisi's family. He had seen him several times nearly a month ago. Although the old emperor's memory was not at the level of photographic memory, he had no problem recognizing his face. As long as he had seen him a few times, he could recognize his face.
Can remember the background information that the other party has said or mentioned by close relatives. If you forget, you must be pretending to be stupid.
So the emperor was very sure that Baron Mamud did not bring the magician in. However, he did not speak first, but sat on the throne and watched the show quietly.
The two people who entered the meeting hall stopped at just the right place, bowed, and signed up for their numbers. Only then did everyone realize that the protagonist of this meeting had not appeared.
Crown Prince Nawav Kazalnia has been the leader of political affairs during the period when he took office as the Prime Minister of the Empire. The emperor, like an old man who can only stamp his seal and signature, entrusted all matters to his son
.Only when people ask him, he will answer some questions selectively. But most of the time, the emperor still leaves the decision-making power to the prime minister of his choice.
Seeing that the protagonist of one of the topics did not appear during this meeting, Crown Prince Nawaf asked displeasedly: "Mr. Mamud, where are the distinguished guests invited by His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Your Highness, the great magician Tripwood went back because the guards at the main entrance of the palace blocked him." Baron Mahmoud remained calm and dug holes for others to jump into, passing the blame away.
However, the crown prince did not explode directly, or it was different from his plan. So he said calmly: "I can't just listen to your opinion and decide whether a matter is right or wrong. Father, can you summon the gatekeeper?"
Guards squadron leader, ask him for details."
The only person who can order the Guards is the emperor. If someone gives orders indiscriminately and the Guards obeys, it can be a serious crime up to the level of treason, for both parties. Even the Crown Prince cannot and will not
Dare to cross this boundary, so he asked the old emperor who was sitting next to him without saying a word.
Of course, the emperor had no need to stop this kind of thing and suppress the Crown Prince's prestige. So he nodded and agreed. Soon, the captain of the guard squadron guarding the door, led by the guards guarding the meeting hall, arrived
In front of everyone.
After telling the story about the magician and Baron Mamud's words, the Crown Prince asked: "Soldier, why did you block the guest we invited from entering the palace?"
The captain of the guard squadron lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am just abiding by my duties and not allowing any danger to enter the palace and threaten you nobles. The magician is wearing a very powerful
I asked for the magic equipment to be removed, but he was unwilling to comply. According to the regulations, I can treat such a person as an assassin and take him down.──"
The guard squadron leader paused for a moment while speaking. Although he lowered his head, he still turned his head and looked at the ministers and nobles on both sides.
"─But just before we captured him, he ran away out of fear of crime. Your Highness, I can only say that if that person really didn't have any evil intentions, why was he unwilling to comply with the request to disarm. In this way, it's OK
Let us ensure the safety of your noble lords; and as long as you abide by the rules in the palace, we will ensure his safety. But he chose to escape."
The Crown Prince was obviously very angry. He shouted angrily in a voice like an aria: "Discourteous! What a rude person! Father, for this kind of person who disrespects your name and can even reasonably suspect that he has evil intentions." , there is no need for us to cooperate with him. I suggest that we not only do not allow the bank's affairs to be carried out in the imperial city, but also comprehensively prohibit it. We also need to issue a wanted order for the magician and arrest him. Make amends and hold accountable."
Emperor Armin Kazharnia could only think of one reason for being so excited about his son, and that was related to his fourteenth son.
The mere struggle between two grand dukes, before there is an explicit order prohibiting intervention, is not enough for a crown prince to take the risk of taking action against certain people or things. But if it involves a succession dispute between princes, then it can Nothing is impossible anymore.
And there is a rumor that is well known to everyone, but difficult for everyone to believe, that the magician has a good relationship with the fourteenth son. Even if the relationship between the two is not that good, the magician is a person who is evenly matched with his fourteenth son. This is something certified by the commander of his personal guard.
So here comes the problem. In politics, as long as there are common interests, it is easy to form an implicit common front. There is no need for everyone to loudly clamor for alliances and other matters. Sometimes this tacit understanding reached silently makes it even more difficult. Political enemies are hard to watch out for.
So by choosing the crown prince, he wanted to suppress the magician first, and then cut off the possible help of the fourteenth son in his political career. This was the only possibility that the old emperor could think of.
But this time, Emperor Armin had no intention of following the Crown Prince's train of thought. He opened his mouth and said: "The bank matter belongs to the church of the Goddess of Gold Coins, not to the magician. Let's discuss this matter separately."
As for the matter of determining the identity of the magician, the old emperor did not mention it. For any magician, if he committed a crime in the imperial city, he would be caught on the spot. How to deal with it depends entirely on the nobles. A thought.
But if the other party returns to Estari, a city where magicians gather, the nature will be completely different.
Will the magician deal with it impartially and hand over those who have committed crimes against the empire? If the crime is not clearly proven and the crime is extremely heinous, then there is no way to even think about such a thing.
The magicians gathered in that city were all here for the great library protected by the Six Towers. They were just seekers of knowledge, coming from all directions, and not all of them were from the Gwana Empire.
There are many mortal warriors among them who can defeat an army alone, but most of them are ordinary magicians. With their fighting skills, they may be able to fight three against one, but they will definitely not be able to deal with an organized army.
When such a group of people want to resist the unfair treatment of powerful people, they can only stick together. This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for the noble forces to reach into Estali.
The nobles do not all act in accordance with the law; many times they trample on the will of others for the convenience of the nobles. When this happens, the magicians in the holy city of Estali will unite , because no one wants to be abandoned by the group of peers when they become a victim of such evil acts. The best way is to stand up when your peers are in need.
If the criminal is really the one who committed the crime, they will hand over the clear evidence to the Magician Association, and they will naturally hand over the criminal. But if not, they just want to rely on their power to arrest the person, for example, sending the army into Estali to search for the so-called 'criminal' .The magic tower that stands like a forest in the city will become a nightmare for all armies.
Normally, if you attack a magic tower, you will suffer heavy casualties. If you want to attack the holy city of magicians who unite with the outside world, all the generals and military experts in the world will spread their hands. Whoever gives the order will stand on the front line. The person who gives the order
If everyone dies, the surviving ones can go home. Or if everyone dies, the problem of whether or not they can go home is eliminated.
In the eyes of the old emperor, the magician who returned to Estali was just like this. Now that he had gone back, no matter how beautiful the excuses were to touch him, it would be useless. So he did not accept the emperor at all.
The prince's words. It is one thing to support this son, but it is another thing to support this son in committing suicide. It is certainly another thing to commit suicide in order to support this son!
Crown Prince Nawaf wanted to refute his father's opinions, but this father was an emperor. The father had also communicated with him in private. On the stage, the two would never directly reject each other's opinions, or
Express opposition.
If an emperor, an imperial prime minister, and a father and son get into tit-for-tat confrontation, it will only make the ministers laugh. Worse, it will make them have strange thoughts. No matter what it turns out to be, for the royal family, it is
Something that is worth the loss.
So when the old emperor euphemistically expressed that the bank matter was not led by the magician, he knew that the matter was deviating from the direction originally expected. So now should he change the direction and pursue it fiercely, or should he find a way out?
How could the old emperor not guess what his son was thinking about. But he had no intention of letting go of the matter in front of him. After taking a look at the people standing in front of him, Emperor Armin waved and said: "Muha
Thank you young man from the Xi family and come forward."
After hearing this, Efren took a few steps forward and happened to pass by the guard squadron captain who came to report and Baron Mahmoud who was originally leading the way. He bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"What do you mean by your clothes?"
"This is the first bank in Estari. The uniforms worn by the clerks were designed by His Excellency the Great Magician Finny Tikal. In the bank, the elves who serve His Majesty the Goddess of Gold Coins all wore them.
Such clothes. But not only the elves of the bank, Lord Fen, but also the deacons of the Marquess Balan are wearing such clothes." Efron told the truth.
One of the great advantages of suits is that they are easier to put on and take off than the traditional aristocratic costumes of Midland. So while staying at that home, the Marquise's butlers also made themselves or ordered several sets of suits. On the other hand, the narrow skirts of women's suits were popular at events
It's not that convenient, so the waitresses don't change into their daily work clothes.
After the emperor looked at it for a while, he said: "It's a good design. Later, ask your father to bring you and the Savile family over. You can step back now."
Baron Saville's family, the royal tailor. Calling such a person, it seems that the old emperor has some ideas about the fancy clothes of the young people of the Muhashebesi family. After all, this emperor was not a law-abiding person when he was young. But the big man
Most people know that this should be just an excuse.
The crown prince said at this time: "Since my father has given the order, you all should retreat and prepare. There are other important issues that need to be discussed today."
The Crown Prince Nawaf walked down the steps and took the responsibility of holding the guard squadron leader accountable for letting or forcing the magician to run away. If this matter were to be discussed, it would be a big trouble for the Crown Prince.
.
After this was revealed, the father and son took a step back in a tacit understanding. The old emperor nodded, as if he agreed with his son's instructions, and as if he was signaling to other ministers to put forward subsequent proposals.
