The Sun King's Evidence

In the past two years, Beria has felt more or less in crisis.

If this gloomy Ugor man divides a time point, then the period from the end of the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition to the death of Kislev was his golden period. During this period, his official position was not high, but He was very trusted and reused by Ryan, who gave him a lot of authority and autonomy, as well as sufficient funding.

Beria is not interested in money, that is true. What he desires is power and status, and maybe a little beauty. His salary and various rewards are enough. He does not accept bribes or bend the law for personal gain. , because Beria knew very well that he was a loner, and Ryan's trust was his only chance to gain a foothold and develop his talents in the Brittanian court.

After the death of Kislev, although Beria's status rose, his power actually weakened. Because there were no more bear corpses to eat, he no longer had the ability to be full-time and authoritative, so he was transferred to the first guard. After becoming the political commissar of the Lancers, Beria immediately found a new job for himself, that is, the director of the Musilon Arms Factory. He had supervisory power but not management power. He was always paying close attention to the capital flow and employment issues of the arms factory.

Under Beria's auspices and the dwarf's suggestion, a ten-hour work system, eight days off and two days off, double overtime pay, a workers' community entertainment room, a food street, small literacy classes, and various regular holidays with rewards A good atmosphere for activities and competitions was established. At the same time, the levels of general workers, second-level technicians, first-level technicians and engineers, and senior engineers, as well as the corresponding salaries and benefits, greatly stimulated the workers' work vitality and enthusiasm.

Because of this, since 2522 in the Imperial Calendar, the Tzeentch sect and other Chaos sects hidden in Mousilon have been constantly trying to incite workers to riot or try to destroy Britannia, the only military industrial center, but fart. It was of no use. These workers couldn't incite them at all. The Tzeentch cultists even talked about it and spent a lot of gold and silver on it. Always keep the factory area well protected.

But problems also arise. Beria soon discovered that he had nothing to do. After the entire rules, regulations, evaluation, and promotion system were established, the Ugor people had fewer things to do, and he seemed less important.

Beria knows very well that as a bureaucrat, the most important things are "three things."

He can avoid things, that is, without Ryan or Lidya Su talking, he will never touch things that have nothing to do with him, he will never take responsibilities that have nothing to do with him, and he will never do anything that is not beneficial.

When something comes up, you must take the initiative to find something for yourself to do, emphasize your own importance, always have a sense of presence and political achievements, and find something to highlight your abilities even if you have nothing to do.

Being able to do things, this is best understood, being able to share the monarch's worries, and being able to handle things assigned to satisfy Ryan or Sulia, this is the most important.

It was precisely because of this that he took some risks and took the initiative to propose and implement the "Kislev Restoration Plan" and the "Tsarina Heir Plan" with Lane.

The thing was done, but Beria didn't get much benefit. Being fined half a year's salary can be understood as "encouragement punishment", but Queen Sulia didn't know where she learned about it. During the period when Ryan was away, Time, she didn't give Beria a good look.

This is very troublesome.

He remembered that he was very serious about keeping it secret!

(Actually, Sulia, who was aware of it, used her superb clichés and language arts to let Theresa, who knew a little bit of the inside story, unconsciously reveal a little bit of it.)

Talleyrand and Beria, now dressed in fine and military uniforms, are walking in the passage of the palace. It can be clearly seen that Talleyrand is calm and relaxed, while Beria is a little uneasy: "My Minister of Foreign Affairs, Your Majesty, today Is it a 'big event' or a 'small event'?"

"It should be a big deal." Talleyrand leaned on crutches, and the high-spirited cripple was guessing what Ryan meant.

"Big deal?" Beria asked.

Talleyrand nodded. He glanced at Beria, who looked a little uneasy and pale. He felt funny in his heart, but he said: "Oh my, I don't know what it is, but I can only say that I am really good." I look forward to being able to taste Her Majesty Morgiana’s cooking skills again. This opportunity is really rare. We all know that Her Majesty the Lake God Witch will only cook for His Majesty.”

"Yes, really..." Beria's mind was not on this aspect.

But as soon as the double doors of the room opened, Beria suddenly became calm.

Because in addition to Knight King Ryan and Knight Queen Surya, Ryan's chief female courtier Veronica was also present. Today, the female speaker wearing a wedding dress was particularly elegant, and her graceful body was only wearing a red tights. The flower wedding dress has an S-shaped graceful curve that makes all women envious. The part from the chest to the neckline is designed with sheer gauze. The snow-white and delicate skin is like a mountain of clouds, looming, sexy yet charming, and a head of dark brown hair is draped on the trunk. On the back, the pretty face has exquisite makeup, and the swan-like slender snow neck is wearing artifact jewelry that shines with powerful light.

Under the desk, two slender legs wrapped in ultra-thin black silk Lycra pantyhose stood side by side in a dignified manner. The skirt covering the buttocks seemed to have a kind of magic, making people want to explore the deep black in the gap in the middle. The delicate jade feet wearing ten-centimeter silver diamond high heels are definitely someone's favorite.

Beria knew about Veronica. Veronica, who had just received the wedding dress from the Lake Fairy Lilith some time ago, was so excited that she wore the dress and showed off everywhere, "This was given to me by Ryan!" "Why? Like, most people don’t have it, right?”

As a result, Ryan was unhappy. You should know that Veronica's wedding dress was a typical semi-circle, ultra-low-cut and miniskirt. She was showing off outside, and Ryan was naturally jealous and unhappy, but he couldn't punish her, so he forced her to let her go. She added a layer of fabric on top of the tube top, and then it was approved.

So what does this mean?

Veronica's appearance here means that Ryan and Sulia will not have to fight against each other.

Sure enough, after everyone sat down one after another, Ryan signaled Beria to mix a drink. Today's drink was Snow Goose Vodka mixed with Baileys.

As if she had received an amnesty, Beria immediately made drinks for Ryan and Sulia. The Queen of Knights wanted to say something, but she could only give up when she saw that Ryan had already spoken. She secretly stretched out her hand to pick and choose between Ryan's waist and found a suitable one. Position, the wrist instantly twisted 360°.

Ryan's facial muscles twitched and he smiled bitterly, not daring to resist.

Taking the seat, the only ones present were Ryan, Sulia, Veronica, Talleyrand, Beria and the head maid Sylvia.

Without too much nonsense, Ryan quickly got to the point: "Talleyrand, you answered and handled the matter for me very well last time, so I came to see you today."

"I dare to exert all my strength and loyalty to chastity, and then die!" Talleyrand saw that Ryan's face was serious and did not look like a joke, so he straightened his figure and spoke loudly.

Seeing Talleyrand's "I am the most loyal" expression on his face, Ryan and Sulia both slapped their faces a few times.

How can a person be so shameless?

Ryan had just returned from the subspace and was busy with everything. He didn't have much time to think. He asked Talleyrand straight to the point about the empire.

The core of this is that if Emperor Karl-Franz really dies and the Nuer army enters the imperial capital, then what is the possibility of the eldest son Frederick ascending the throne and becoming emperor?

"Your Majesty, let me tell you, I'm not sure." Talleyrand thought for a long time, and the cripple's answer was: "This is just like the King Selection in Ulthuan. Whether the empire appoints a new emperor depends on Depending on whether the Imperial Parliament can be held as scheduled, reasonably and legally, Frederick must register immediately. Three major conditions are indispensable."

"Three major conditions?" Ryan motioned for Talleyrand to continue.

“First, confirm the death of Emperor Karl-Franz, second, single-person election, that is, Frederick has no competitors, and third, all existing electors must side with Frederick, At least two-thirds of the votes are needed to directly crown the emperor in a temporary emergency." Talleyrand nodded, he elegantly arranged his middle-parted curly hair, and the Brittanian Foreign Minister seriously Said: "You must have considered the first and third items. I won't say more. Even the second item... Your Majesty, don't forget that Emperor Karl-Franz may have encountered misfortune, but his mission The titles of the Grand Duke of Renswick and the Grand Prince of Reikland are not without heirs! And the Queen of the Empire..."

"Empress Helena, Carl's son Luitpold II?" Ryan understood immediately.

yes! Karl-Franz had a queen and a son! Lidya Su sitting next to her couldn't help but nod.

The presence of the emperor's wife and son is really low. Unlike Sulia, the "executive deputy king", Karl-Franz's queen Helena basically did not participate in any government affairs, and even attended various events together. not much.

Luitpold II is also very strange as the emperor's eldest son. He is less than thirty this year, which is simply the golden age for the prince and the age when he should deal with things. However, since Karl Franz came to the throne, Judging from the series of military operations, Luitpold II not only did not accompany the army in any of them, he even rarely appeared in a series of internal affairs and sacrificial activities.

But there is no doubt that if Luitpold II comes out to fight, Frederick cannot stop it. Then according to the imperial system, an emperor election ceremony must be held at this time, not only three rounds of elections, but also three rounds of elections. Theoretically, the emperors and nobles will arrive, and it will take several months.

What about using force?

No, Ryan quickly shook his head in denial. Using force at this time? Regardless of the huge issues of legitimacy and legality of using force to forcibly elect the throne, using force at this time means a civil war, and in the future, anyone can use this as an excuse to rebel against the imperial court, and the empire will immediately reappear the era of the Three Emperors and The Great Interregnum.

Is there a civil war now? ? ?

"The empire's elector system can ensure that things will not get out of hand at any time, but it is too embarrassing at such a critical moment!" Veronica had already finished a few glasses of vodka and was already lying on Ryan's body coquettishly. : "It's not good~ Ryan~ You are the best, the best, the goddess of revenge, commanding the whole country, my lord is here, who can compete with me?"

"Okay, I understand this question, then the second question." Ryan patted Veronica's buttocks, and then asked: "Even if Frey can't choose the emperor, according to time calculation, Noor No matter how full the army is, it must have arrived in Braunschweig by now, and the Imperial Parliament must have opened. So why doesn’t the Empire send us a request for help? It’s already here, there’s no reason, just blow the Ubersery At the sound of Gram's horn, Bogenhafen will light a beacon to call for our help."

"Harm, Your Majesty, that's what you think." Talleyrand drank a glass of vodka, and the cripple thought for a long time: "Your Majesty, you are thinking about the survival of the old world and Frey's father. Have you ever thought about an empire? Think about the problem from the perspective of an ordinary elector?"

"Ordinary elector?" Ryan thought thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, you have to consider an issue. Whether it is the Imperial Baroness Emmanuel or your son the Baron, they all have one characteristic, that is, lack of ability, lack of prestige, and lack of influence. Even if they can They have the upper hand in the Imperial Parliament, and that is because you are behind them." Talleyrand stopped his knife and fork, and the lame man rarely showed a very serious expression: "With your support, they can defeat the rest of the Empire in all aspects. Elector, but without your influence, they may be excellent and may have a certain degree of prestige, but they will never be as popular as they are and they cannot control the Imperial Parliament. Do you understand what I mean?"

The corners of Sulia's mouth curled up slightly. She liked what Talleyrand said. It can be said that if it weren't for Ryan's support behind her, Emilia would not have been able to show off in front of her Elector Grand Duchess so easily, and it would have been even less possible for Frey. At only twenty years old, he basically unified the Nuer military. That was Ryan, his husband!

Veronica is a little upset, little maid? I was the one who bought her back in the first place!

Beria said nothing and concentrated on mixing drinks.

"I understand, Nur has an army, but no one will be convinced if we rely solely on the army. This is the behavior of warlords, and the country will only collapse in an instant. In terms of the imperial system." Ryan understood immediately: "At this time You must never play the 'Lean card' against the Imperial Parliament, because this is an absolute political mistake, right?"

"Exactly!" Talleyrand really enjoyed talking to Lane, everything was just a matter of clicks.

"The military achievements are obviously insufficient, and the prestige is barely qualified, but it is far from your Majesty. At this time, whether it is forcing the palace or a coup, it is morally unworthy." Talleyrand was really serious at this time: "So as long as the Baroness and the The baron is not stupid, the most they can do is rely on the elite Nuer army to use force to intimidate them. They will never dare to force the palace or carry out a coup. In this case, controlling the Imperial Parliament is empty talk."

"Therefore, whether to ask for help from Britannia will be put on the agenda for everyone to discuss." Talleyrand continued, seeing everyone in the banquet hall, including Morgiana who was serving the dishes, looking seriously. After listening to what he said, the high-spirited cripple continued: "Then at this time, for the imperial electors and the holders of electorate rights, whether to request foreign troops to enter the capital is a very complicated issue. If the imperial electors If you don’t want foreign support, you must be lying, but if it really comes, it will definitely not be a good thing for the other electors and the imperial cabinet. Your Majesty, you will know if you think about it for a moment, then no matter how it develops, it will be a female The countess and her son benefited, so they turned to the countess and her son for help."

"So everyone is in a hurry, but everyone is waiting and will not be the first to speak. From the perspective of the electors, the best and best outcome is for Baroness Emmanuel and Baron to take the initiative to propose peace. Promote the plan to borrow foreign troops." Talleyrand dipped his hand in a little vodka and drew on the tablecloth: "They reluctantly agreed and even acquiesced without speaking and abstained."

"You called the Brittanians in, what does it have to do with us? The empire can obviously persist. Losing proves that calling for foreign soldiers is useless. If we win, it is also our persistence. What does it mean to call you daddy? Relationship? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, okay?” Talleyrand analyzed the thinking of the imperial electors: “Isn’t it natural for a son to seek help from his father?”

"Furthermore, who knows what will happen if foreign soldiers are invited into the capital of the empire? Huh? Everyone knows that the Baron is your son and the Baroness is your lover and has a son and three daughters. What if Britannia comes from the west? The cavalry entered the capital and forcibly deposed the emperor and installed the baron on the throne. The electors at least had reason to say that they were forced to agree or were coerced. When Chaos was repelled, the electors could even form an 'Anti-Lane Alliance' 'The Thirteen Electors Ask for Cloth', when the time comes, Your Majesty..."

Talleyrand said no more.

Ryan listened more and more strangely, and he thought to himself that this story seems familiar to me!

The whole country is on fire, with internal and external troubles, but at this time the emperor passes away, and the central government of the empire is unable to control the chaotic situation. A certain noble son of a noble family proposes to send foreign troops to Beijing to quell the rebellion?

The Empire's Zhongliang Laixiansen, who came from the west of the West Mark (before the establishment of Britannia, the empire briefly established a province, but was later unable to control the cancellation), led the Britannian cavalry to Beijing to control the situation?

After Lei Xiansen entered the capital, he deposed Luitpold II, the orthodox heir of the Kaiser, and forcibly replaced the emperor's godson, his biological son Frederick, as the emperor?

As the Queen Mother's little maid, having an affair with Master Lai?

Does Lai Xiansen nourish porcelain or not?

Fast forward to the time when the name is not justified and the Thirteenth Route Elector is asking for help?

The empire is in chaos and the heroes are divided? Electors rise together?

The Grand Master is actually me? ? ?

Ryan completely understood. He not only sighed: Talleyrand understood the empire's electoral system and political operation logic.

This system allows the empire to correct mistakes and avoid interference from external forces to the greatest extent, but at critical moments it really stretches the center of the earth.

Is it so difficult to do something?

Ryan understood again.

"It is extremely difficult for a system of electors like the Empire to accomplish anything, Your Majesty. But if a system like the Empire cannot accomplish one thing, there are probably ten thousand ways." Talleyrand said with a smile: "So the Council of Ulthuan is like this, and so is the Imperial Council. There must be a monarch to constantly supervise and promote implementation. The former High Lord Tyrion and Emperor Karl-Franz played this role, and so do you, Your Majesty. The current The Kingdom of Knights must never lose you, never.”

"Do you think the empire can pass a resolution asking for help from us?" Ryan then asked.

"It's hard to say, my Majesty, if Her Majesty the Baroness and Her Majesty the Baroness cannot control the Imperial Parliament, then we can only count on one of the dignitaries in the Imperial Parliament to take the initiative and propose a plan with fearless dedication and true sacrifice for the sake of the Empire. He must be determined to bear all the consequences and bear all the sins, and he cannot expect to gain anything."

"Then we must be prepared for both." Ryan stood up: "If the empire finally decides to ask us for help, that is naturally the best. If the empire does not ask us for help, then we must also be prepared to support the empire, but we will Not going to Braunschweig.”

"Then where do you plan to support?" Sulia asked.

"White Wolf City, Middenheim!"
