In the early stages of the establishment of any country, not only order, but also social forces and aristocratic groups will be re-divided.
The current Merox Empire is at such a stage.
Because of Aslan's connivance, civilian officials also became part of the pie.
As a veteran force in Merlocks Province that supported the rise of the first batch of Aslan, Duke Medea was not satisfied with the arrangement of his disciples.
Almost all the main cities in the entire Merox province are headed by his disciples, which is not enough for Vatini.
Their level is too low. Not to mention the positions of three ministers, they have not even obtained one of the twenty-eight ministers. Now they seem to control most of the province of Merlox. In fact, in name only
The highest position is still the city lord, not even the provincial governor.
When the list of officials was being determined, Vatini was very angry and therefore approached Duke Medea.
But at that time, Duke Medea refused because they wanted to break through the Magister.
This is an imperial rule. Mentor-level experts cannot serve as officials directly under the empire, except for the Minister of Military Affairs.
As a result, Generido, the most useless among them, became the person who benefited the most from their group. In just two years, he served as provincial governor for two terms. Recently, he was transferred to the new city as the city leader, which is considered a demotion.
, Generido did not have any dissatisfaction with this, because it was Duke Medea who personally gave him the order at that time.
The construction and importance of the new city cannot be lost, and apart from Generido, Aslan has no one qualified for this position.
Resources and wealth require strength to protect them. Now that they have a great backer like their teacher and the support of officials who were originally from Merlocks Province, they will naturally take the opportunity to develop their power.
If Duke Medea becomes the empress of the empire, he will legitimately become the third force in the center of the empire's power.
As for Queen Elitelina, because of her status, it is impossible for her to interfere with the top levels of the empire's power in this life.
"Teacher, what are you going to do?" Natal has always been an obedient person. Now that she has decided, she just needs to cooperate with the action.
Masuo also began to think.
All the male disciples continued to be in a messy state in the wind. Listening to the plans of the teacher and senior sisters, their heads dropped to the ground one by one.
When Aslan came back with Duke Medea's things, he clearly felt the difference in the atmosphere, especially the strange looks that other fellow apprentices looked at him.
"Okay, the matter has been explained. This is my gift to you as a breakthrough magister. The rest is up to you." Duke Medea was afraid that the male disciples would reveal their secrets, so he said hello and left.
Aslan was also taken away by Duke Medea.
Looking at Aslan walking away, Generido suddenly spoke.
"When I first met Xiaojiu, I thought he was very powerful."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately rolled their eyes.
The next day a rumor slowly spread in the province of Merox.
"I heard that Duke Medea and His Majesty actually have that kind of relationship..."
"Nonsense, Duke Medea and His Majesty are masters and disciples." Someone said in disbelief.
"It's not that kind of relationship. Duke Medea has so many outstanding disciples. Why does he support His Majesty alone and do his best?"
As soon as these words came out, many people fell into deep thought.
"And think about the behavior of the two of them. Many times they are too close. Have you noticed the most important thing? Duke Medea's current magic tower is within His Majesty's palace..."
One person suddenly clapped his hands.
"So the rumors in the market are all true. His Majesty is a wife maniac."
As soon as these words came out, the person responsible for spreading the message twitched his mouth. He really didn't mean to say this.
As soon as the wife accusation was mentioned, everyone started talking and directly ignored the rumor spreaders.
But the goal has been achieved.
"What, is this true or false?"
"It's absolutely true. This is why His Majesty has not established a queen. He has been waiting for Duke Medea's consent."
Such rumors quickly spread to everyone, and Essien went to find Wilson, hoping that the two would join forces to get the official to clarify and suppress the rumors at the same time.
Wilson finished approving the document in his hand and said solemnly: "What is your Majesty's attitude?"
Essien was slightly startled.
"I heard it's the same as usual!"
"That's right, His Majesty has not spoken about this matter. We cannot interfere. What if the matter is true?" Wilson said with a strange expression.
"What?" Essien couldn't sit still.
"I have checked the information in the past few days. This kind of thing is not uncommon in mainland China. After entering the mentor level, life expectancy and physical fitness are greatly improved, and age is no longer a problem that limits each other." Wilson said.
"As for the relationship, it has nothing to do with us. That is His Majesty the Emperor's private matter, and Duke Medea really stands on the stage. With her identity and the power behind her, she can be used to balance the aristocratic faction and the civilian faction.
"
Wilson's last words silenced Essien.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you will develop this hobby." Essien said with a sigh.
When Wilson heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Except for Princess Artoria, the women around him, including his secret mistress, Mrs. Sharon, were all married women.
"This is His Majesty's private matter. As ministers, we don't need to take care of it. The founding emperor of the Kingdom of Cleveland even dared to promulgate the policy of Chu and Night Power. Your Majesty's hobby is really too serious." Wilson quickly reminded.
Hearing Chu·Yequan, Essien couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. That set of policies was not abolished until more than fifty years ago. People of their age had seen many such things when they were young.
Tragedy.
It is precisely because of this decree that the Kingdom of Cleveland has repeatedly triggered small-scale riots and uprisings.
"Old man, look at it. Since Duke Medea wants to stand on the stage, we might as well help her." Wilson said with a mysterious smile.
"What? You..." Essien was suddenly shocked. He never expected that Wilson had already reached an agreement with Duke Medea.
"Relax, I didn't reach any agreement with Duke Medea, I just considered it from the standpoint of the empire." Wilson has indeed met with Duke Medea, but Duke Medea did not promise anything, he just
After mentioning the powerful relationship the empire had now, Will Xin couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"You should have seen that His Majesty wants to balance the political power through the struggle between the factions in the harem. Now that His Majesty is still alive, everyone will fight in a disciplined manner. No one dares to go beyond the boundaries. But what if His Majesty is gone in a hundred years?
