"Do you think it's appropriate to go to a church?"
Before the imperial meeting began, Lin stayed in the emperor's study room and faced the empress' question.
Today, he is different from before. He is deeply involved in national affairs, and Lin has an additional title of consultant. He does not receive any compensation, but only has some conveniences.
One of these conveniences is that you don't have to wait outside the palace to be summoned. You can stay inside the palace and participate in the imperial meeting as an advisor to the empress. Of course, there are no seats.
In fact, before Lin took action, he had explained this issue to the empress, and only after receiving approval did he take any follow-up actions. But this time it caused such a huge reaction among the nobles that even the big nobles who supported the formation of the parliament were quite concerned.
After complaining, he took action to summon a certain magician to the Imperial Council again.
Otherwise, before today, Archduke Frias repeatedly requested to summon the magician Guy Blasch Tripwood. Of course, his intention was to ask this magician who was causing trouble in the empire to get out of the way, so that those who were unruly could be summoned.
The New Deal subsided.
Such requests were rejected time and again by the empress and the other grand dukes. Until this time, the other grand dukes did not help, but looked on coldly. The weak empress could no longer defend someone.
, I had no choice but to let someone come to this place again.
Before the meeting began, Alegria asked again worriedly. Lin Zeng's explanation convinced her, and this was also the reason why she would agree to someone's actions. But when it came to the issue of introducing divine power, this had always been a matter for the nobles.
Taboo. So faced with the voice of doubt, the empress could not help but bring up the worries she had put aside.
Based on my past experience in life, when faced with the same person and the same question being bombarded continuously, you must never reply with the same answer. Because the other person will do this, doesn’t it mean that the original answer cannot completely convince him?
I just want to hear if there are any other answers. And if I keep using the same reply, it will be considered perfunctory and I will be criticized.
If you can't shake your head and walk away at this time, you can only answer in a different way. Lin explained helplessly: "The new situation in the future is to find ways to increase people's participation. As participation increases, support
The number is likely to increase. Therefore, when dealing with people, even if the results are completely incompatible with people's requirements, you must pretend to be open-minded and teachable, and listen to other people's opinions and voices. As long as this feeling of respect is given,
Once it's in place, no one will care even if it goes in through one ear and out through the other. Aren't those people who have faith the people of the empire? They don't live on this land? They don't contribute to the affairs of the empire?
They are certainly a group of people worth fighting for.”
"According to your new statement, what did the magician say?" the empress asked.
"Magicians have a black-and-white agreement with the noble lords. Moreover, they only have another set of methods of rule, rather than enjoying extraterritoriality. In contrast, the people of the church are only unilaterally excluded by the nobles, without any
Legal basis.——"
At this point, Lin couldn't help but repeat the same old tune,
"——And I have also said that from the perspective of the new structure, even if the church people join, they will only be in the lower council. No matter what they do, they will only have a chance to make a voice, and they cannot be above the cabinet. Even if the gods
In person, there is no legal basis for the empire to obey the will of the gods. Not to mention that it is impossible for the gods to lower themselves and join the 'lower' council."
Looking at the empress who still looked worried, Lin could only comfort her: "In short, you just need to treat the people of the church as ordinary citizens of the empire. You don't need to be afraid of them like snakes and scorpions. And from a practical perspective, with religion
Faith serves as a link to find and connect supporters at a very impressive speed, isn't it? I think people who have objections to me are just afraid of the speed of building momentum."
"Afraid of such a speed of connection?" Alegria thought carefully about the recent situation and found that the growth rate of his private supporters was indeed much faster than that of other nobles. They couldn't help but be afraid, so they sighed: "That's true.
ah."
Lin added: "And this is still the beginning, and everyone is still adapting, so I don't dare to introduce too many new things. Otherwise, let alone religious quotas, I still want to introduce guaranteed quotas for women and racial quotas."
That’s what it’s really like to fight for the big with the small.”
】
"Guaranteed quota, what is that?" Alegria asked in confusion about a new term that suddenly appeared.
Lin simply explained: "In fact, it is to ensure that minority groups within the empire, because of the dispersed population, cannot have representatives of their own groups in the parliament, are given a guaranteed number of members. It is still my old idea, which is to give them
A channel for speaking, even if it is of little use in the end. But..."
Facing the magician's sudden display of worry, Alegria asked: "But what?"
After taking a look at the list of people participating in the imperial meeting, Lin looked slightly worried and said, "I don't think the focus this time is on religious issues."
The empress also looked at the compiled list. There were a bunch of names highlighted with red pen. Many of these people were members of the royal family who were not qualified to participate in politics. Whether they had the right to inherit the throne or they still have the right to inherit the throne.
Everyone who was sorted appeared.
"A few things are causing trouble at the same time." The empress curled her lips and complained: "The other old guys are not afraid of letting the water go out of control this time, and just let old man Frias mess up the matter. Everyone is busy in vain. You are sure
Can you get through this?"
The last question was, of course, asked by the empress to a certain magician.
Lin helplessly spread his hands and said: "When I was in the Holy City, although I had dealt with big figures in the Gwana Empire, I really didn't have this kind of experience of being targeted. So I don't know what moves the other party will make.
, let alone precautions. It can be said that there is absolutely no guarantee of successfully getting through this level. We can only do our best and listen to fate."
Hearing such a show of weakness, Alegria showed hesitation and said: "I almost risked everything for this matter. But now you have such a nonchalant attitude, have you ever considered me?"
.”
...Is this a sign of an explosion?
Lin quickly realized his mistake. Perhaps he, and those who had been around him for a long time, had become accustomed to someone's safe style of calculating defeat before calculating victory, and always followed the spirit of letting him take one step at a time. But
For a person who is ambitious and strongly wants to accomplish something, it is not too much to say that he does not want to make progress.
Just imagine, you are trying to fight a comeback, but the counselor next to you pours a bucket of cold water on you first, and instead of chopping off the dog's head and going out to sacrifice the flag, it can be considered a sentimental thing.
This person is not a novice who doesn’t understand the world, or he becomes stupid when encountering such problems. So what else can I do? Try to coax him. Lin tried to pretend to be serious and said:
"Your Majesty, if you think about it on the bright side, even if we are forced to have no choice today, it will only be temporary. As long as people still covet power, what we do today will become seeds and be buried in everyone's hearts.
And it has become an undercurrent, brewing in unknown places. One day in the future, it will sweep in with a more ferocious force. Everything we do is meaningful and will definitely work.
"
It's just that someone's attempt to remedy the situation did not have the desired effect. Alegria leaned on the comfortable couch, waved his hands half-heartedly, and said: "Forget it, don't worry about me.
Just think about how to deal with the next thing."
After finishing speaking, the empress just played with the green fingers of the calamus beside her. For a moment, the study room was silent.
The physical injuries of the mixed-race Sea Clan woman have been healed by divine grace, but the psychological wounds are not so easy to heal. Not only does she act startled from time to time, but she also becomes more silent than before.
It means that the pistachio among them was the little round-faced one who could not be saved. Without such a person, the laughter around the empress seemed to have disappeared and would never be seen again.
In such a situation, a certain transmigration person is helpless. If he had been a nerd in the past, it would be easy to make people laugh and liven up the atmosphere; but would being a nerd be confused with a fat nerd? Not to mention having sex with a woman who is said to be a different kind of creature.
Dealing with each other. This was something that was simply unimaginable before time travel.
Therefore, even if someone has the intention, he is actually powerless. He can only stay quiet and not break the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of this moment.
After that incident, Alegria would take Acorus with him wherever he went. Even in formal occasions, he would keep her within his sight.
Such an action was quite helpful to the Sea Clan woman who had not yet healed from her trauma. Of course, Lin could not hold his neck and argue forcefully at this time. This would only irritate people and make Calamus panic.
Thinking of the night a few days ago, at the empress's signal, even though she had just stretched out her hand toward Calamus and not touched anyone, she was still so frightened that her whole body shrank up.
Although the mixed-race beauty still suppressed her emotions and forced herself to accept the man in front of her, Lin was not the kind of person who only focused on solving her own needs. After a little comfort, she ended the night.
So looking at the tranquility in front of him, Lin didn't want to break it, nor did he dare to break it.
It means that the necromancer who did the corpse explosion has not been found yet. Although Lin can use the flash technique to make any confidential location uninhabited, but when he wants to find a specific target, he still needs to know who the other party is.
.
It is true that you can scare those nobles who think they are in a safe situation if you are calculating mentally and not intentionally. But if the other party deliberately hides it, and someone has no clue who to look for, without alerting the snake,
, it is quite difficult to find this undead mage who has not shown up. It is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, Lin has recently devoted all his energy to managing the affairs of parliamentarians for the Empress, and has not been able to concentrate on digging out the rats still hiding in the dark. Therefore, this thorn in the heart has not been removed yet, which is why everyone is in a good mood.
One of the reasons for getting up.
In this tranquility with different thoughts, it was time for the imperial meeting to begin.
