In the palace of the Holy Empire, the temperature of the fireplace dispelled the cold of the severe winter. Although the news of the Gerben victory inspired the empire for a short period of time, the subsequent events were unexpected by Yale XIII.
Although the Military Affairs Office's notice on this battle was satisfied with him, Yale XIII never expressed his opinion on the rewards they submitted.
Because after looking at the complete reward plan, Yale Thirteenth felt a little blushed. If he had signed such a reward, I would be in an uproar in the whole world!
"This is what you call a good idea! Absurd! Absurd!" As he knocked on the memorial on the log table with one hand, Yale XIII pointed at the six military ministers kneeling on the steps, and there was a kind of explosive power in his voice.
Cold sweat oozed out from the backs of the six people at the same time. The highest cultivation level among them was Montelo, who had the eighth level of gold and the pressure of the nineth level of diamonds was not something they could resist.
Harvey Cole's head was like pounding garlic, and the size of beans left his sweat dripping from his forehead, and he said in fear: "Your Majesty calms down... This idea was proposed by the empress, please punish him!"
The other five people did not expect that Harvey Cole was so straightforward. The five people looked at each other and never worked so together. They kowtowed together and said, "Please calm down your anger. I am incompetent. Please punish me!"
Harvey Cole secretly complained in his heart and scolded them for being shameless. He originally took the initiative to confess his guilt because he was afraid that the other five people would take the blame. Unexpectedly, the five of them were better now, and they were completely wiped out at once.
Yale XIII glanced slightly over the six of them, and he knew clearly about their little thoughts. However, strictly speaking, this was not the fault of Harvey Cole, so he did not want to blame any of them.
However, this compensation plan is obviously insufficient. Each of the dead Royal Imperial Forces only has fifty gold coins. Once this matter is spread, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken!
He frowned slightly and said a little impatiently: "Get up!" Seeing that all six people were rushing up from the ground, he continued to scold: "It's disgusting to pretend to be disgusting. If something happens, it will only ruin the royal face. I never know how to share the worries of the royal family!"
The six people looked at each other, all feeling helpless. This was the result of their discussions for two days. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. The Ministry of Finance allocated only so many gold coins, and it was almost impossible to give a decent reward.
Seeing them lowering their heads without saying a word, Yale XIII patted the table gently, snorted coldly, suddenly stared at Rob Carrey, and said in a deep voice: "Rob Carrey! Tell me!"
Rob Carrey complained secretly, but since he had been clicked, he had to bite the bullet and answer, bowing slightly, and he said carefully: "The Ministry of Finance can only squeeze out two million gold coins. If you want to make this reward not lose your word, you still need to allocate some gold coins..."
Yale XIII had a little displeasure. He felt that Rob Carrey's answer was extremely superficial, so he immediately asked, "If the Ministry of Finance has money, will I still ask you?"
He walked down the steps slowly, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he said coldly: "Okay, since we talked about money, let's sort out this issue today!"
Seeing him walking down, the six people's heads were even lowered. Seeing their appearance, Yale XIII sneered, paused, and then continued: "How is the current situation of the withering of the treasury?! Is there a problem with the central government's control over the localities?! Are the officials' attitude towards [***] too indulging?!"
He asked three questions in a row, each of which pointed to the hearts of the people. Yale XIII almost pointed at the nose and asked them how many of them were, how much gray income they had every year.
"If the financial problem is not solved, the next time the Romans attack again, what can we use to resist! Even the most basic pension for the soldiers can't be done. Who else in the world is willing to die for my Yale family!"
Speaking of this, he had already stood in front of six people and almost roared: "Look at what you look like! You will know the corpse position all day long. If the Romans come in, are you going to surrender collectively! My great mountains and rivers of Yale family will sooner or later become the conferred letters of your waste!"
The six people knelt in a hurry, and everyone's backs were soaked with sweat. The power of the emperor of Yale Thirteenth for more than 50 years has become deep. Now they suddenly explode, and they can only crawl on the ground and dare not look up.
Among them, Rob Carrey not only knelt on the ground, but also said in fear: "Your Majesty is angry, I dare not look up to you! But I dare to tell the world that I have a word, die for the empire, die for Your Majesty, and realize the slightest complaint!"
The other people did not expect that his reaction was so fast, and they hurriedly shouted: "Die for the empire, die for His Majesty!"
The sounds of the entire hall were intertwined and chaotic. The military ministers were like slaves and spoke without choice. If they were seen by the people of the empire, they would be shocked.
Hearing their intermittent oaths, Yale Thirteen waved his hand and said a little angrily: "Shut up! This is the palace, not your vegetable garden, it is so quarrel!"
Seeing him getting angry, several people quickly stopped shouting, crawling on the ground one by one, they did not dare to move, and quietly waited for his next sentence.
Footsteps echoed in the hall, Yale XIII was walking back and forth. In an extremely depressing atmosphere, he finally spoke again: "The pension must be increased to at least 500 gold coins per soldier, and all the royal imperial guards participating in the war will be 200 gold coins per person! The rewards of other officers at all levels need to be discussed again, and those who deserve the title must be rewarded. In short, we must show our courage for victory!"
He said in one breath that the total reward specifications were all. The six people kneeling on the ground were slightly moved, but his outburst just now made people afraid to say anything more, and every word of heart-wrenching words made people dare not say anything for a while.
In the silent hall, Tuscon was the first to break the silence. His face was almost pressed against the floor, and his tone was a little panicked: "Your Majesty... If you don't have ten million gold coins, it will be difficult to achieve..."
Yale Thirteenth glanced at Tuscan, who spoke, did not criticize the old minister, but said lightly: "The Ministry of Finance has no money, but there are always people in Yanjing who can take out money..."
Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly remember something, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and hesitated: "Some time ago, someone mentioned something to me. The empire needs a baptism, and we need a strong department to supervise all officials..."
"The burden on your Military Affairs Office is too heavy, and the strength of the Supervision Department has been slightly weaker. I think it would be better to help you reduce the burden. In the future, the tasks of supervision by officials will be transferred to other departments."
The last sentence of Yale XIII finally expressed his purpose. The six people kneeling on the ground were in a daze. They felt something was wrong from the emperor's memorial for the reward, but they did not expect the highlight to be here!
Without any silence, Gragia took the lead and said, "I don't know which department the other department you mentioned in Your Majesty is. The important task of supervision of all officials should not be taken lightly. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
The other five people didn't care about continuing to be afraid. The emperor had already said this. If he continued to remain silent, he would be able to find out immediately. And they, who had extremely sensitive political sense, immediately thought of the previous few days of the Zijing Guard incident!
"The Supervision Department is not a big mistake. Now that they have suddenly separated their power, I'm afraid there is something wrong with it! Please think twice before you act!" Havikol kowtowed again, hoping to reverse the emperor's wishes.
Montero, Budilson, and Montero then kowtowed and asked for their orders. Yale Thirteen's eyes flashed slightly. The struggle for power was a game where there was no smoke of gunpowder. These old foxes were indeed ungrateful wolves who could not be fed.
He stood with his hands behind his back and forth, until the six people gradually found that the atmosphere was wrong and raised their heads, he smiled and said, "Since you strongly oppose my proposal, then you can take me out 10 million gold coins so as not to lose my royal face!"
The truth between him and the truth made the six people slightly unable to guess, and they could not guess what the emperor meant: whether the emperor wanted to establish the Zijing Guard or wanted to hit them with this matter.
In fact, Yale XIII was also helpless. Of course, he hoped that this could be a real duel, so that he could easily break the current political landscape.
Unfortunately, the court is not a duel, and the entanglements inside it are extremely complicated. If a slash is a drastic and killing a few officials is a trivial matter. If the political system collapses, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the country.
Faced with this difficult choice, Montelo once again showed his determination to be superman. He took a step forward and gritted his teeth and said, "Please rest assured that even if I sell the goods, I will also send 10 million gold coins to the Ministry of Finance!"
Hearing his words, Yale XIII's smile became stronger and stronger. She glanced at the other five people and said lightly: "This ten million gold coins cannot be waited. If it cannot be made within ten days, I am afraid it will not be able to explain to the soldiers on the front line."
The other five people looked extremely ugly, but when they faced the establishment of the Bauhinia Guard and the 10 million gold coins, they finally chose to take out 10 million gold coins. It was really that the past of the Bauhinia Guard was too terrifying, and no official was willing to face its existence!
The five people knelt on the ground, straightened their backs together, and said with a blue face: "Weichen and others are willing to promise! In ten days, the Ministry of Finance will definitely add 10 million gold coins!"
Yale XIII finally looked good, and he personally helped them up one by one, and smiled faintly: "The wind is strong and the grass is strong, and the four words "The pillars of the country are well deserved!"
The six people quickly stroked their right hand again and said respectfully: "I wish to die for the empire! I wish to share your worries for Your Majesty!"
Yale Thirteen nodded with satisfaction, as if he suddenly remembered something, and pondered: "I think the reward for David Mo is still to be discussed... The first-class Count is a bit low, so it is better to be a third-class marquis!"
