Heaton is just a formality, the most important thing is Nadjeta's arrangement.
It's more like Heaton announcing it to everyone.
The minister has been killed~
From now on, I, Heaton, will be the head of this empire~
What is really important, matters related to one's wealth, must be discussed privately among one's own people.
By the way, there is also Ernest’s arrangement, he is not dead yet!
"Cook Ernest!"
Heaton waved his hand and spoke in an emotionless tone.
"Oh, by the way, don't cook it to death, give it a breath, throw it to the West Street, and let the civilians of the Imperial City handle it on their own!"
Heaton suddenly remembered the ending of the minister in the comics, and suddenly felt that he should respect the original work. Since he ended up being torn apart by the people, he should follow this ending.
From the moment Ernest fails, there will be no chance for a comeback.
Even the execution was just for the public to see, and it was considered the final value of his more than two hundred kilograms of meat.
Heaton sounded like he was cooking dinner, which made everyone in the hall feel frightened.
Why can an eight-year-old child say such cruel words?
oh!
He is the founder of the Bloody Arena, so that's okay.
"Let's adjourn the meeting!"
Heaton waved his hand and asked Nadjeta and Esdeath to stay.
Nadjeta has a residence in the inner city, and she will definitely go back if nothing happens. Esdeath will naturally live in the palace.
Gozic did not have the proper identity to participate in a meeting like this. The assassination force was a secret force after all.
Even if the entire imperial capital knew that His Majesty the Emperor had an assassination force, it still couldn't be made public.
Together with Bude, the three followed Heaton to a smaller conference room.
The palace where the court meeting is held has a formal name, called the audience hall.
Heaton is not so particular. Even if a few tables and chairs are placed, it can be regarded as a conference room.
Heaton sat in the main seat and said to Nadjeta who was doing the work beside her.
"General Nadjeta, it's not that I don't care about the threats from foreign nations in the West. It's actually that the hidden dangers in the imperial capital are far more serious than imagined!
In the past few years when the ministers have been in power, the trend of taking bribes and enjoying themselves has been serious, which has led to not only many traitors in the court, but also rebels, profiteers, and people with evil intentions.
If the rebels pay, they can place spies in the court, the army, or even the palace.
Smugglers of human organs and addictive drugs can prosper by giving money to the Imperial Capital's security department.
The officials in the court even sent private soldiers to the slums to capture people as slaves or toys for their pleasure.
Dozens or even hundreds of examples of this happen every day.
These are far more serious threats than the threats from foreign nations."
Nadjeta's face became increasingly ugly as she listened to Heaton's dictation one by one.
"I want to save this empire! General Nadjeta!"
Heaton sounded excited and clapped his hand on the conference table, causing the coffee cup in front of him to rattle.
"His Majesty..."
"General Nadjeta, the people standing above the court today are all the worms of the empire. They are one of them. It's not that I don't want to punish them, but the minister will eradicate all the talented people and those who oppose him.
If I get rid of these moths again, there will be no one left in the court!
General Nadjeta, I asked you to stay in the imperial capital not just to train the Guards, but I also hope that you can help me.
General Esdeath loves war and is not suitable for such things, and the only one who can help me now is you, General Nadjeta."
Heaton explained the reasons with great emotion.
"General Esdeath, what do you think of the foreign nations in the north?" The topic changed, and Heaton asked Esdeath next to him.
"There is nothing to fear from the foreign peoples in the north!"
Esdeath crossed her legs and was holding coffee, tasting it carefully.
Seeing Heaton suddenly ask him, he put down the coffee slowly and responded domineeringly.
There must be nothing to fear about Esdeath. Different ethnic groups are scattered and not one tribe.
For Nadjeta, the foreign ethnic group of the West, Doma bandits, lives in a desert full of yellow sand. Only within the empire can the crops be prosperous and commerce prosperous.
Most of these foreign ethnic groups gathered together in a few hundred places. Occasionally they would unite and bring together tens of thousands of people to rob and kill in border cities.
Nadjeta and other Western troops would run away as soon as these foreign peoples grabbed them, and would not spend a lot of troops to pursue them. They would only rely on defense to resist their invasion.
Esdeath is different.
The north is covered in ice and snow and is extremely dry.
The tribes of foreign nations are much larger than the Western bandits and horse bandits.
Because food is scarce, dangerous species are harder to catch.
Their gathering places are larger and their folk customs are more vigorous.
Suppose the foreign nations in the West are a group of greedy and lustful people who behave like thieves, while the North is more like an organized and large-scale "country".
Every invasion is planned and organized.
However, since Esdeath joined the army, life has not been easy for the foreign peoples in the north.
In the past, the northern border defense army also defended the city, but Esdeath's style of leading the troops was too tough.
On weekdays, he either goes out hunting dangerous species or pursues foreign races.
Every time, there were great gains. Esdeath distributed all the military exploits of foreign races and the flesh and blood of dangerous species to his subordinates.
This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of the soldiers below to fight.
To Esdeath, the northern aliens are more like dangerous species in captivity. Esdeath occasionally goes out to relax, hunts, and then hands them over to the empire in exchange for military merit. It is easier to capture than dangerous species.
It's not something to be afraid of.
"In this case, General Esdeath, I hope you can eradicate all the foreign nations in the north within two years!"
"What!"
Nadjeta stood up immediately.
"What do you think, General Nadjeta!"
Heaton looked at Nadjeta who was standing up.
"Your Majesty, is this...?"
"Is it hurting Tianhe?"
Heaton understood what Nadjeta was thinking. The genocide plan was not to kill thousands or hundreds of people, but to spare even the old, weak, women and Confucians!
"General Nadjeta, the situation in the empire is becoming more and more urgent now. I believe everyone here is aware of the rebellions in various places, but are these rebellions really just caused by the high taxes in the past few years when the minister has been in office?
No, it's not! The corruption of the empire has been going on for hundreds of years, and everything the minister did was just a trigger. The empire for thousands of years has given all the people of the empire a strong sense of belonging, but the minister's high-pressure policy and the rebellion
Jun's deceptive words broke all this."
Everything Heaton said is based on the inference of the original work. The empire that lasted for thousands of years did not collapse in one day!
