Vol 2 Chapter 1165: The Emperor's Royal Front (Part 2)

What the emperor meant to Heliga was nothing more than asking the latter what he wanted as a reward. This is not surprising: what Heliga does, no matter what the deep meaning, calculations and considerations behind it, at least can be regarded as a hero. Had it not been for Oribat's attention, as early as the summer solstice festival in the imperial capital, Heliga's personal privacy would have been dug out and hyped.
However, things have changed now. Heilija and Olibat no longer need to keep a low profile and respond secretly to possible threats-the loss of the nobles means that the reformers headed by the prime minister will be in power. Unlike the nobles, the reformers are in the empire. There is a very high approval rate among the middle and lower classes of people everywhere, and many people who have not stated their positions are in fact potential audiences of the reformists. Although the nature of the reformists merely transferred the power to dominate the country from the hereditary aristocracy to the emerging chaebols, it does not mean that the quality of life of the people can be greatly improved. The bourgeois revolution in the Kalwad Republic has It illustrates this point well. The lives of Calvard civilians who believe in freedom and openness and a market economy are not even as good as the Ereponia Empire, which mainly implements trade protection policies.
However, unlike the traditional aristocrats who deliberately kept a distance from the middle and lower classes, at least on the surface, the backbone of these reformists still maintained a look of closeness to the people. Therefore, the previous method used to fight against the nobles is not very effective-whoever can shout louder on the bright side can attract attention and seize possible opportunities. Therefore, since it is clear that the goal afterwards is to win over the nobles to fight the reformists together, then we can no longer hesitate to use our possible influence.
This is the consensus reached by Heliga and Olibat long ago. Therefore, Heilijia followed the original plan and said in a tactful tone, "It was just in line with the previous attention of His Highness Olibat."
"Hehe...Here, there is no need to hide and tuck." However, the emperor Ukent was only a little stunned, and he understood what Heilijia meant. "You are reserved, how to find public attention and maintain Find a balance between concealment, right?"
"...As expected of your Majesty." Heliga sighed, "Besides, if I take the initiative to ask for something from your Majesty, it seems a bit ignorant to promote... Therefore, your Majesty should make up your mind."
"Haha...this kid is much more polite than Gillies back then." When Ukent heard this, he laughed out loud-and then, the emperor looked at the two marquis and Juss, who were unavoidably curious. He and Olibate said, "Speaking of which, I haven't told you about it either... When I said I would promote Gillies to be the prime minister of the empire, many aristocrats who held public positions in the empire jointly wrote a letter saying, They cannot accept mere civilians to be their immediate superiors."
"Not only that... When arranging some necessary work, they will directly let me, an untitled idiot, go back." Gilas Osborn sighed exaggeratedly. People rarely see the prime minister. There will be such a slightly exaggerated emotional expression, "So at that time, I came to your Majesty to complain in a fit of anger-and then directly asked for the title of an earl from your Majesty."
"Also, it is cooperating with Secretary Regnitz to dismiss those public officials from aristocratic origin who occupy high positions but are incompetent, and replace them with a group of vigorous young talents." The Marquis of Haynes sighed. , While glanced at Regnitz standing alone, "I was still your majesty's Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time... I watched the movements of the Prime Minister and Chief Regnitz, and I just wanted to sigh that the young people under them were really energetic. Prosperity--I didn't expect the Prime Minister to have such a headstrong side?"
"Haha...Yes. However, Qing Haines has been the pillar of the country since then... Although I always criticize the imperial aristocracy that is dragging down this country, I never deny Fernan Haines. The Marquis is one of the best talents in this empire. In addition..." The prime minister paused and looked at Euss aside, "If I remember correctly, the Duke of Euss is acting...your father at the time, Helmu Te Albarea also served as His Majesty's Minister of Finance in the Imperial Capital."
"Really... These things, my father rarely talked to me before." Facing the prime minister's words, Euses obviously didn't think about how to deal with it, so he had to deal with it bluntly.
"I was still serving in the regular army...Every day I mixed up with some veteran oil and ate some army tea and rice. I almost lost my habit, and I didn't know much about these things in the imperial capital..." Marquis Rogner on the side He also said, "Oh... back then, back then... how come it has become like this now."
"When this person is old, he always likes to sigh about things that are non-human." The emperor Ukent seemed to be a little moved-when he recalled this time, he had just taken the throne and had not been in power for long. , Plus these great nobles whom he once trusted and relied on so much. It's just that the times are changing, and people are changing too-these things from the past can only be left in the memory.
"Sorry... interrupted the previous topic. Since Heliga said that I will make the decision... well, so be it." The emperor cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Although you can't see it now, you are in the civil war. How does what you did in the middle compare to what Zai did in the first place... But you win in being young and calm, in your mind, and in irreplaceable-besides, if my son wants to go further in this imperial political situation, also You cannot be without a helper like you. I rewarded the Prime Minister at the beginning, if you don’t dislike it, you can also take it."
"This..." Heilijia was taken aback, and then realized that the emperor was going to promote himself to earl-just like the previous ones, kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, "Thank you for your promotion and cultivation."
"Hehe... and more than that." Yokente continued, "I thought for a moment... Although the civil war is over, after that, the danger that the empire may encounter is even more profound, and the difficulties that may be encountered will also be. It’s more complicated. Considering your relationship with Olibat, and the outstanding talent and loyalty you have shown before... I feel that you can keep the things that I gave you in the Karel Palace."
"...This... Your Majesty?" Heliga was stunned for a second-what does the emperor mean?
"Wartime privilege" is a stopgap measure-it would not be given out lightly in the first place. But the emperor's meaning is clearly...
"I understand your concerns...but this is my judgment after thinking." Ukent said softly, "you will understand...but I still want to tell you that you must use it with caution. Understand?"
"...Yes." Heliga nodded—it was strange. Maybe there is something unspeakable about the emperor? Heliga thought.
Even considering the relationship between himself and Olibate-the emperor's trust in himself seemed a bit too much. Is such an abnormal behavior asking him alone after hinting to me?
"Um... on this premise, I still have a personal request that I want to hand over to you. You can listen to it first, and then decide whether to agree or not. Specifically, I...I want Cedric to temporarily interrupt In the previous studies, you will take him around for training and gain a long experience."
