Chapter 243 The scum among men(3/5)
"What kind of emergency law?"
"How to control it?"
Thales closed his eyes and spoke in a low tone:
"As a guarantee, someone suggested that Baron Alaka Mu be recommended to lead a thousand royal standing troops to the Emerald City for temporary garrison to stabilize the overall situation."
The officials became more and more surprised:
"King, the wrath of the kingdom?"
"Why an army? A standing army?"
"Who pays for the garrison expenses?"
"What about the Emerald Legion? Where to put them?"
"when will you arrive?"
"We don't have bandits here, so why do we need stability?"
"It's not just about garrisoning," the young and powerful Judge Ibonin thought of something, with a serious expression, "Just like in the Western Wilderness back then, this is to temporarily replace the rule of local lords with the temporary control power of the central kingdom during an emergency period.
right."
The study instantly became quiet.
Thales also remained silent.
The financial controller, Mr. Melakhovich, opened his eyes in disbelief:
"No, it can't be?"
"How can this be?"
"Let those soldiers rule?"
"It was brought from the central government..."
"The Emerald City will be destroyed!"
Thales sighed softly, and the noise in the study gradually disappeared as he spoke:
"Not long ago, the Blade Tooth Camp learned from the past, and the Imperial Council lost confidence in the local lords, so they made this motion - of course, they also knew that this matter was extremely controversial, so the official would not acknowledge it until it was officially issued and written down.
"
"No!"
Director Melakhovich was startled and said:
"You can't let this happen!"
After the other adults were surprised, they nodded:
"We are fine here, there is no chaos, and there is no need to garrison!"
Captain Seychelles also frowned:
"The Emerald Legion has guarded the Emerald City for generations, and everyone's contract is written in black and white..."
"This is legally untenable," Judge Ibonin gritted his teeth. "Such a big matter requires at least a motion from the National Council, or at least the High Council of Nobles. The Imperial Council cannot..."
Thales nodded:
"Indeed. But no matter what the process is, I believe that as we speak, Baron Mu has received the order to start mobilizing manpower."
There was silence in the study again.
"But, even if he brings people here," a political officer thought of something, with a little hope in his words, "You, Your Highness Thales, you will still be the regent, right? Temporarily photograph Kongming
palace?"
Thales smiled, looking tired after receiving guests all morning:
"I hope it will be."
"You must be," Judge Ibonin affirmed. "Except for His Majesty himself, there is no nobler or more qualified person in the entire kingdom than you. And if you are allowed to step down at this time, it will be equivalent to telling the world that you are the regent."
Emerald City has failed, and Fuxing Palace no longer trusts you..."
When he said this, he remembered something, his words stopped, and he looked at Thales in shock.
The surroundings were silent again.
This topic is too sensitive and dangerous.
No one dared to say anything at this time.
Thales smiled bitterly.
"Alaka Mu saved my life, and he has a stubborn character, special status, and outstanding achievements." He avoided talking about the topic just now. "I may not be able to manipulate him."
The study was still silent.
No one dared to speak.
Thales looked around and had to continue:
"So once he comes..."
"No, the wrath of the kingdom cannot come." Ibonin's face was ashen and he interrupted the prince.
His words quickly gained support.
"right!"
"We are fine, there is no problem at all!"
"No need for regulation!"
"The Imperial Council needs to think twice. The current problems in Emerald City cannot be solved by military control..."
"The Emerald City has prospered due to the trade and travel, but it may not be so when the army comes..."
"Someone needs to remind His Majesty..."
"That's what I said," Thales agreed gently, "that's why I have this letter."
Everyone turned their heads: the letter just happened to be delivered to Captain Seychelles. In front of everyone's eyes, he frowned and handed the letter back to the cold-faced Wyatt.
"I want to write to His Majesty before the Imperial Council puts forward the formal motion and reject it with all my strength," Thales said with a solemn expression. "Of course I can't say it explicitly, as that will only be counterproductive. I can only emphasize it from line to line in addition to caring about His Majesty's health.
"The overall situation of the Emerald City has been decided, and the order is as stable as the Sighing Mountain. There is no need to waste more energy, waste troops and money."
All the gentlemen in the room seemed to be waking up from a dream, and they all spoke out:
"Exactly!"
"Send the message quickly!"
"Don't delay, don't let the princes in the court worry..."
"His Royal Highness Thales has a reputation as a virtuous man and will surely be able to persuade His Majesty..."
"We are in a remote place. We don't want to disturb the Fuxing Palace and worry about the wrath of the famous kingdom..."
"The Kingdom of Stars is undergoing a renaissance and is rising. Wherever there is no need for money and troops, why waste time and energy here?"
"National affairs in the center of the kingdom are more important... It's no big deal if we, the people of Emerald City, suffer a little more..."
"That's right..."
Until Thales sighed heavily, making everyone's hearts hang again.
"It's a pity that everyone has seen my experience and 'political achievements' these days," Thales said with a heavy expression and laughed at himself repeatedly, "Not to mention last night, I couldn't even catch a single criminal, and was killed by Kai
Miss Wendil... her prestige has been ruined, she is a laughingstock, and she has lost the face of the royal family."
The officials could not hold back any words of encouragement:
"But it's not your fault!"
"Your Majesty, that was a last resort..."
"Especially yesterday, it was not Your Highness's fault!"
"Is it because we have...a mole?" an official added cautiously.
"Not only did you not lose face, but you also contributed to the glory of the royal family, showing your tolerance and generosity, and not arguing with villainous women!"
"Oh, Miss Heeley is too willful. She is so eager to save her brother that she appeals and protests. She has to find the right way..."
But Thales ignored these remarks. He just looked defeated and shook his head in thought:
"When the news reaches the royal capital, the Royal Council will know that after Zhan En stepped down, my virtue and talent are not worthy of me, and I will ultimately fail to govern the Emerald City..."
These words made everyone quite intolerable:
"Your Highness..."
"You just took office, so you inevitably made some omissions..."
"Yes, you have been working hard to solve the problem, and we all see it..."
To be continued...
