Public trial?You deserve it too!

This silence lasted for a long time before it was broken by the emperor's voice.

"Mr. Leichter, tell me, does Augustus really know what he did wrong this time, and is he willing to use his final power to make up for this mistake?"

Just as the old man was about to answer subconsciously, Gutenberg's previous hesitation and bitterness suddenly flashed in front of him, making him pause in what he wanted to say.

"...Your Majesty, I will assist you in the whole process this time, and we must ensure the smooth implementation of the plan."

In the end, Leicht said such a sentence.

"Humph."

The emperor chuckled and stopped talking.

It didn't take long for Heinrich to walk in with two people. It was Nicholas, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and the prime minister, Lauenburg.

"See Your Majesty."*2

"Flat body."

The emperor motioned for Heinrich to give the plan to the two of them.

"Secretary Leicht has just submitted a plan, saying that he and Augustus will be responsible for the implementation. The purpose is to wipe out all the great nobles."

The two of them were only slightly surprised, but they didn't react any more to the news. Obviously, they had already been mentally prepared for this matter. They just took over the memorial brought by Heinrich and browsed it carefully.

After both of them finished watching, the emperor spoke again: "How about it, Sir Lauenburg, please tell me your opinion."

"Your Majesty, this plan is feasible."

The prime minister affirmed Leichter's plan as soon as he came up.

"Now, the great nobles are closely surrounding His Highness Augustus. Until last year's annual meeting, the two parties still got along very well. Obviously, they never thought that His Highness would be so abruptly prepared to attack them. That makes it possible to catch them all."

The emperor nodded, and then asked again: "So, do you think it's time for the empire to attack them now?"

Lauenburg didn't answer right away this time, but thought for a while before nodding heavily.

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is no such thing as the most suitable time. Now that the conditions are ripe and all of them can be wiped out at the lowest cost, I think that now is the time to take the final measures against these great nobles." It's time!"

The emperor nodded, obviously agreeing with the other party's statement, and turned his head to look at Nicholas at random.

"The Imperial Intelligence Bureau, is there any problem with cooperating in the imperial capital and various noble territories?"

He didn't mean to ask the other party's attitude, obviously the emperor had already made a decision.

"If according to the time in the plan, the Imperial Intelligence Bureau can completely make all the preparations before the end of this year, whether it is in the imperial capital to cooperate with the plan, or to cooperate with the imperial army's stationing and suppression at the local level, there will be no problem. "

Nicola's answer was also quite straightforward.

"very good."

The old emperor showed a satisfied smile, then nodded to Recht who was beside him and said: "Then let's do this, your plan, I approve it! Augustus will be in charge of the imperial part of the whole plan. At this year's annual meeting, all the great nobles will be wiped out!"

Leicht was overjoyed at first, but immediately realized that it seemed a little weird.

What the emperor said just now was to let His Royal Highness Augustus come down to take charge of the part of the plan in the imperial capital, but he didn't mention his position.

Sure enough, the emperor's words were not finished yet.

"As for Mr. Leicht, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. After all, time is not forgiving. This plan must have cost you a lot of effort, right? Take a good rest at home for a while, if this matter makes you tired Yes, but it’s not worth the loss.”

"His Majesty?"

Leicht was taken aback, and didn't understand why the emperor made such a decree to prevent him, the planner, from participating in the implementation of the plan... What is this for?Moreover, his ambiguous response just now also indicated that he wanted to supervise Augustus and become the leader in the implementation of the plan. It was impossible for the emperor not to hear it.

"Your Majesty... After all, this plan was proposed by the minister. Is it the most appropriate for the minister to be in charge of the affairs of the imperial capital? His Highness Augustus is not as familiar with this plan as the minister himself, so why not..."

"Hey, Augustus is no longer a child. If you need to be supported by your teacher in everything, isn't it true that he hasn't improved in so many years?" The old emperor didn't mean to let go, "Besides, since it is to make up for mistakes , then whoever made the mistake will have to make up for it, I have already allowed him to use your plan, as for other things, don’t help him anymore.”

Obviously the emperor had made up his mind, and he was just asking for trouble if he continued, Leicht could only bow and accept the order.

"...my minister, obey the order."

"Well, from now on, you can just rest at home and I will send someone to notify Augustus."

When the old emperor said this, he seemed to think of something.

"I seem to remember that the abandoned son of the Baer family seems to be living with you during this time?"

Leicht was a little dazed. Of course he knew that Gutenberg could not hide from the emperor that he lived in his house, but why did he mention Gutenberg at this time?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Gutenberg is quite talented in business and economics. I feel that he is a man to be made."

"That's very good. Isn't he in charge of business under Augustus? I think he has dealt with those big nobles a lot, and when the liquidation is later, he is just needed to check the accounts and testify."

The old emperor nodded.

"Since it's a talent to make, then you should mention it to the other party. While you have time, it's not bad to recruit an extra student, at least so that I can use him when I want to use him. "

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

Leicht was a little surprised. The emperor's words really opened up an operable opening for Gutenberg's future, at least there is a possibility of survival.

The emperor nodded, indicating that the other party could back down.

Leicht bowed to leave, nodded with Lauenburg and Nicholas, and left the Roman Palace.

When Leicht left, an unpredictable gloomy look appeared on the emperor's face, but it disappeared quickly. He looked at his prime minister and said, "Mr. Lauenburg."

"The minister is here."

The prime minister immediately raised his attention.

"Purge the nobles, don't make any moves on your side."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean... let the minister stand by?"

Lauenburg was a little confused by this order. If Leicht was not allowed to make a move, he wanted to pick him out for later use, so why did he not even allow him to intervene?

"It's not completely on the sidelines. You have to prepare in advance the reserve of officials who will go to the various noble fiefdoms to govern." The old emperor shook his head lightly, "At that time, the military control must be the first, but it won't last long after all, you still need to do it in advance Get ready, lest there will be holes in the back, and there will be holes everywhere."

"Yes... the minister obeys the order."

Fort Lauen was still a little puzzled. Could it be that His Majesty trusted His Highness Augustus so much?Let the other party take over the matter with full authority, so it is true that no one else is sent at all, and only one person is responsible for the most important part of the entire plan?

"You can go too, but you must be strict with other people, especially Leichter, and you can't leak a little bit of information."

"Yes."

The prime minister of the empire left the Roman palace with question marks in his stomach, and now only Nicholas, the director of the imperial intelligence bureau, is left here.

"What about your news?"

The old emperor asked lightly.

"After the annual meeting of the nobles, the visits among these great nobles suddenly became more frequent, but the correspondence between them was the same as before. It is obvious that they are connecting with each other, but the Imperial Intelligence Bureau is still not aware of what it is."

Nikolai's voice was calm and clear.

"In addition, the spies of the Principality of Brittany sent news that the Grand Duke claimed to have a cold and hadn't shown up for many days. But according to the actual news, the Grand Duke of Brittany has left his manor, and the specific whereabouts It has not been verified yet."

"Sure enough, I can't help it... this old fox!"

The emperor snorted coldly, and then asked Nicholas, "Where do you think he will go on this secret trip?"

"The greatest possibility is that the Grand Duke of Brittany came to the imperial capital and secretly met His Highness Augustus."

The director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau didn't hesitate at all, as if he was just talking about the actions of two insignificant little people.

"After Gutenberg suddenly reported the continuous smuggling incident to Leicht, the nobles who should have reacted fiercely were all suppressed by the Grand Duke Morbihan alone. He even helped His Royal Highness Augustus Stabilize the situation."

"This is not in line with the other party's usual character, because he is almost the second largest customer of smuggling to the business alliance. Such a greedy person will not allow his road to wealth to be cut off. So the other party will choose to do this, which means he There must be something to ask for, since His Highness Augustus has given enough face, then he must get more substantial benefits from His Highness."

The emperor nodded slightly, approving Nicholas' judgment.

"Since this is the case, then I will allow you to use all means to get real information—don't show me flashy things."

"Yes!"

Nicholas took the order, but he only paused for a moment before expressing his thoughts: "Your Majesty, if you want to know the real situation, I think... can we start with His Highness Augustus?"

The emperor glanced at him.

"As I said, I allow you to use all means. I want you to report the truth, not an account of the past."

"The minister obeys the order."

Nicholas bowed.

"Also, Gutenberg's reaction this time is so intense, and Leichter's behavior, has the intelligence agency's investigation results come out?"

"It has already come out. These two people have not found any personal relationship or interest connection with other forces."

Reported by Nikolai.

"Your Excellency Leicht should simply want to get His Highness Augustus out of this matter. He is probably going to describe smuggling as a means of paralyzing the vigilance of the nobles, and pin it on himself , and at the same time counting the credit for purging the great nobles, His Highness Augustus can at least keep his fief."

Listening to Nicholas' words, the old emperor had neither sadness nor joy on his face.

"...At least it means that my eyes are not blind yet."

The director didn't dare to answer the words, but just pretended not to hear, and continued talking.

"According to the previous intelligence analysis and the other party's series of behaviors in recent years, we judge that Mr. Gutenberg Barr was unable to bear the psychological pressure, and driven by his loyalty to the empire, he made such a behavior—from His previous behavior clearly attracted the attention of the Intelligence Bureau from the very beginning, indicating that the other party wanted to use the Intelligence Bureau to interrupt this matter, but because His Majesty ordered to wait and see what happened, his plan fell through. .”

"From Gutenberg's performance, it can be seen that the other party really doesn't know anything. He doesn't know the relationship between General Heinz, His Majesty and the Imperial Intelligence Agency, otherwise, he just needs to tell him about it. Your father will not fall into the current situation. The other party only lifted the cover in such a decisive way out of inner torture and at the same time not wanting to involve this matter in the family."

The old emperor nodded slightly.

"The Barr family are all loyal ministers and good generals... Heinz did a good job and even deceived his own son. Sir Nicholas, since there is no problem with Gutenberg, then you have to find a way to deal with it." Start at the end of the hand and try to pick him out - I won't let my own people sweat and cry."

"The minister obeys the order."

Then there was no sound, but it was clear that the cloud over the old emperor had not dissipated, and the silent anger was gathering.

"They are all loyal ministers and good generals... But why can't my son be supported by so many talents?"

Nicholas immediately looked at his nose, nose and heart, and started the self-cultivation of the emperor's eagle dog. At this time, making any sound is courting death.

"Look! Rechter, a somewhat compromised and pedantic upright teacher, in his eyes is nothing more than a good old man who is easy to deceive! Gutenberg, a financial officer whose talents even Albert recognized, in his eyes is just a A smuggler who engages in smuggling!"

If Augustus were now in the Roman palace, the emperor's wrath could almost burn him out.

"I can't even find out how my mother died! I can't even figure out who I should trust, win over, and balance! I don't even understand that I should personally apologize and make up for what I did wrong!"

"—This kind of trash!"

The emperor slammed his fist on the table in front of him.Then he slowly loosened his clenched fingers, and leaned back gently on the throne.

"Tell me, what exactly is this piece of mud that can't support the wall going to do? To what extent will it be used by that fellow Morbihan?"

Nicholas didn't dare to answer this question. It wasn't that he was the same as Gutenberg because he couldn't guess it because of the problem of vision, but he guessed it right away...but it was precisely because he guessed that Augustus and Gutenberg What exactly Morbihan wanted to do made him dare not say a word.

"I know... I know what the outcome will be..."

The old emperor closed his eyes tiredly.

"Just like his mother, in the face of this kind of pressure, she always sticks to her absurd ideas irrationally. No matter how others persuade her or tell her that there is a way to deal with it, she remains indifferent and recognizes her The way I thought of, rushed over with one tendon..."

"It's...so stupid..."

long silence.

"Mr. Nicholas, your youngest son, I heard that his grades in the Imperial Military University are very good?"

The director had already decided to pretend to be dead until the end of time, but when he suddenly heard that the emperor was concerned about his family affairs, he immediately trembled in his heart.

"Yes, yes, his luck is not bad. He got very good grades in last year's school year experience, and he is not neglected this year. It is estimated that he will be able to get the title of [Twelve Knights] when he graduates."

Nicholas hastened to speak out.

"Yes, it is also a material that can be made."

The emperor nodded, and then seemed to remember something.

"I remember, he seems to be in the same team as my grandson-in-law?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right, Randolph came back and told me that he plans to join Claude's Knights after graduation, and now he is also working hard to graduate early."

The director of the intelligence bureau said this, but he was thinking in his heart, what did the emperor mean when he suddenly mentioned this aspect at this time.

"Well, it's a good thing that outstanding young people like to gather together." The old emperor nodded, "However, I remember that Randolph seems to have a bit of talent in intelligence, which seems to be more outstanding than his knight talent—— In this case, wouldn't it be a bit wasteful for him to become a small officer in the Knights Order?"

Nicholas was taken aback, a little uncertain about the emperor's mind.
