Vol 4 Chapter 14: My Emperor Eckhart (Part 2)

In the lobby of Yuqian Cabinet, the morning meeting in the morning just ended.
Eckhardt II, with his arms up, knocked on the table and stared silently at the empty hall; the silent Secretary of the Seal, Metternich Leopold, sat beside him, holding a roll of parchment Raised his head and looked at His Majesty the Emperor.
"Metternich ... You seem to be not very satisfied with this candidate?"
"No, although it was a little sudden, whether it was His Highness Brandon's wishes, or to reward his merits in the Fortress of the Boundary Mountain, this appointment is very suitable." Minister Zhang Xi replied respectfully, but still sighed :
"But ... it's still too tender."
"Well, that's true." After thinking for a while, Eckhart II nodded.
Minister Palmetto nodded slightly: "Although I saw through His Majesty's plan, the approach was extremely risky ... It seemed that I had won a victory in this vision, and also made the adults aware of the potential threat to him."
"The only benefit of Loren Turin doing this is that the nobles of the imperial capital will not despise him; but as the only close friend next to His Highness Brandon, it is equivalent to exposing himself."
Eckhart slightly smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You mean, since he knows that I will agree anyway ... should be as convergent as possible, right as I pretend to be?"
Metternich Leopold bowed his head in a respectful nod, and his silent expression clearly agreed with the emperor's answer.
"However, it is possible that this was his plan from the beginning." Eckhart II narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a while: "After all, this is Turin, the descendant of the 'Black Duke' ... how could it be shallow Guy? "
"His Majesty……"
"Speaking of appearance ... Lord Chancellor Siscott is unusually quiet today." Eckhart II suddenly turned around and knocked on the table to look at the empty chair:
"This descendant of the Zahn family has not always been responsible for the decrees against me, to fight against Victor in the end? Suddenly there was no silence ... too unusual."
"I can answer this for you." The respected Minister of the Palm Seal nodded slightly: "Although the Zahn family is still trying to cover up the news, when I passed by this morning, I met Master Lusak Kovo Quietly leave the Chaun ’s mansion. "
"he is sick?"
"I'm afraid this is the case." Minister Zhang Xi's head slightly said:
"The direct lineage of the Zahn family has never been more than sixty years old. Lord Siscott is the only exception in a century. It is already seventy-six years old ... Even ordinary people are very poor at this age. normal."
"It's so fast time, Siscott is already seventy-six ..." Eckhardt's voice seemed to be unintentional, and the tone was extremely flat:
"Do you have any opinions about the candidate for the next finance minister?"
"His Majesty?!"
Metternich Leopold suddenly widened his eyes. If he looked closely, he could even find that his body was trembling slightly: "You, you might have been planning ..."
"Just in case, there are no extra ideas." Knocking on the table, Eckhart's tone was still very plain:
"Either the Empire or the Yuqian Cabinet, a competent and qualified Chancellor of the Treasury is necessary ... I just say" in case "he is in a bad situation, we need to prepare in advance."
"Make a backup list first, Metternich, I will only give you this matter; no one will be allowed to know until the time is truly ripe."
The stunned Minister of Palm Seals froze for a moment, but at last he bowed his head without opening.
………………………………………………………………………
Following the footsteps of Albert Tarrow, the dark-haired wizard walked through more than a few palaces and promenades; the kind counselor of the former imperial wizard seemed to have poor legs and feet, and this "walking" lasted for half. Morning.
For this Albert master, Loren ’s understanding was limited to what Brandon told himself; and his performance was almost exactly the same as that mentioned by His Royal Highness: the kindness and temperament, and the slightest interruption by others twice. Without anger, it is a posture that is indisputable.
In addition, he is also the honorary dean of the Royal Wizards College ... According to Gray Saar, they do not have a real dean, but are jointly managed by the mentors of the branches; therefore this former wizard consultant The adult has become the one with the highest academic status.
The reason for thinking of this is that Loren suddenly suspected that His Excellency Grey Thrall would find himself, probably because he had been advised by Albert.
After all ... if you are a member of the Yuqian Cabinet, it will be no surprise that Brandon arrived in the Imperial Capital exactly.
Finally, in a small cloakroom, Albert finally stopped; with a kind face, he took out a pure gold dragon head badge:
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Loren Turin ... Starting today, you are officially a wizard consultant for Brandon de Salion."
The old man's face was full of smiles: "All this, you moved your majesty with your sincerity!"
"You are so ridiculous, Master Albert." With a formal smile, Loren bowed to the other person very "sincerely":
"Thank you for making a few words of justice, and striving for the next ... I will definitely return this relationship."
"It's almost the scene, it's not worth mentioning ..." With a bitter self-deprecating smile, Alber shook his head: "Forget it ... let's say something that pleases you."
"As a wizard advisor to His Royal Highness, you have the privilege of not going to the sky dome for inspection ... Of course, the general procedure still exists, and this privilege belongs to you alone and cannot be transferred;"
"At the same time, you will also get a royal gold ... ordinary royal senior entourage is about a thousand gold coins, but Your Highness Brandon set your bonus gold particularly high, at least twice this number;"
"And as a wizard advisor to the royal family, your identity is equivalent to that of the empire of the empire; this is an honorary title, and even if you are sacked in the future, the title will remain in the coat of arms-of course, it is only a lifetime system and cannot be inherited. . "
Albold smiled, with a bit of appreciation in his expression: "But ... it is already very rare to be able to get to this step as a wizard; see your behavior and think about your nonsense when you were young, What a shame. "
"You really have won the prize." Loren's eyes were scorching, and his expression remained unchanged.
The other party brought him here specifically, certainly not to say that.
"Looking at your expression, it seems to have been understood." Albert's kind face showed a smile and his eyes were burning:
"Your Excellency Loren Turin, your approach today is really abrupt!"
"As the only help next to His Highness Brandon, hiding strength is the most correct way ... Golovin may be the holy place of the Holy Cross, but this place is not friendly to the wizards. Please be careful in the future. Act! "
"Sorry, I'm too anxious." After hearing the other's words, Loren sighed very deliberately: "I just wanted to get the approval of the cabinet ministers, but I didn't expect ..."
"Okay ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It doesn't matter ... after all, you have succeeded." Seeing the black-haired wizard had confessed his mistake, the smiling Alber immediately began to round the field:
"I don't mean to blame you, I just want to remind you that the imperial capital is different from other principalities. Every step here must be cautious, careful, and the difference is a thousand abyss."
"Former friends, tomorrow may not be enemies ..." Albert's eyes were profound, as if to imply something.
Loren was secretly vigilant.
What does the other party say suddenly?
The Yuqian wizard consultant suddenly raised his head, looked around alertly, and then hurried forward to close the door tightly; before turning slowly, he whispered by the opportunity to buckle up the badge for Loren:
"Your Excellency Loren Turin, please do remember-His Highness Connold's letterhead is just a trivial excuse to really return His Highness Brandon de Salion to Golovin ...
It is our supreme emperor, His Majesty Eckhart II! "
