Power and Empire Chapter 1787: The turning point in the north (8)
At the end of the corridor with the red carpet in the Emperor Gaul’s bedroom, the light of the candlestick was found on a slender figure, and Algernon Julia watched the waiters hurriedly send in the emperor who had passed out. Turning around,' looked like ice cubes at the few Imperial Guard officers shivering behind her, and said coldly, "Are you protecting His Majesty the Emperor like this? You know that the military officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs want to take this opportunity. Persuade Your Majesty to mobilize the Northern Army to go south, and then completely control the empty Kyoto area in the hands of the Military Affairs Department in one fell swoop. Are you just sitting on the sidelines?''
"Miss, the subordinates also have had to suffer! Your Royal Highness is forbidden outside the city.'The Northern Army's reports are frequent. The Undersecretaries of the Military Affairs Department take the opportunity to demand greater power from your Majesty'! A guard guard The army officer was crying, and quickly knelt down on one knee, complaining to Algernon Julia with bitter grievances
"His Majesty has forgotten the emperor’s order a long time ago. The request of the Ministry of Military Affairs is almost responsive to every request’’
"Some time ago, because the deputy commander of the Guards Army Flassis refused the command of the military department’s subordinate Ronda, the Ministry of Military Affairs forcibly took Mr. Flassis from the Office of the Guards. I'm gone, because we have the order printed with your majesty's clear guide in our hands, we can only blame the eyes of Lord Francis being taken away,
The next day, the servant who was in charge of fetching water found the blood-stained body of Lord Francis in the stinking ditch outside the palace. That kind of tragedy is really chilling to think of. We jointly pledged to His Majesty the Emperor. Rasis, the result is that "the emperor has determined that Flassis is a spy in the west" and said, "if you are a spy, you must kill it." For this reason, the emperor rebuked us all, saying that we don’t discern. Right or wrong, even the spies who sneaked into the emperor's side did not notice that'to make the Guards lose their face' all were beaten fifty times by responsibility'
’’ If it weren’t for the Imperial Guard that had always been under the jurisdiction of the young lady, the Emperor might even have handed over the Imperial Guard to the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs! An officer of the Janissary Guard was crying and knelt down on one knee and complained to Algernon Julia with a deep hatred.
’’s Mainly the Battle of Rusty’ is too big for your majesty, plus some rumors that are not conducive to the adults’ under the circumstances that cannot be distinguished, your majesty’s trust in the adults is also shaking! But the subordinates still believe, "
"Forget it before,'From now on', the Guards will take over the city defense of Kyoto!'' Algernon Julia snorted, and waved his hands decisively to several Guards officers. Ten said inwardly. A sound of danger'
"Let’s make arrangements now, control the city gates and towers, close the streets and all external passages. "In the hours from now, the entire Kyoto will enter a combat alert state." It must be guaranteed. During this time, even if it is A mouse can't be released from Kyoto city!'' Algernon Julia said as she walked with a serious face
"It's,'Subordinates understand!,' The guards officers behind him felt the situation was serious and nodded one by one.' Rumeng amnesty turned around and hurriedly turned around in his thorny riding boots, putting the expensive ones in the corridor. The red carpet shows traces of hair loss, but no one pays attention to this. Now it is not the time to pay attention to etiquette.'Tonight's incident will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction with the military. If you are careless, the army will attack the palace!
"Miss, what about the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs? If we are detained for too long,'I am afraid that there will be unpredictable situations!' A Janitor officer who came to report carefully asked, "Unless we have enough Evidence, otherwise,'We will have to release people when the hour is over!"
’’Falling hours is enough’, send Intelligence Minister Harlan to see me immediately! "
Algernon Julia opened the door at the end of the corridor.'There is her office in the palace.'Heavy dust is all over the desk.' The floor, desks and chairs are covered with a layer of dust. Obviously no one has cleaned it for a long time. However, the curtains were so tightly covered that no light could pass through. There were a few messy pages of documents and draft paper scattered on the ground. They were dark and obscure, with an unpleasant smell of staleness and dust. When someone opened the door, The mouse jumped off the table in a panic, then hid under the cabinet "creeping".
Algernon Julia walked to the table with a solemn expression. Blow away the dust of hòuhòu. There is a brown-red frame under the folder of hòuhòu
She picked it up and'wiped it up' This is a family painting' In the frame, a middle-aged couple hugs a cute little girl'The background is the majestic large square of the Imperial Capital Kyoto' If anyone knows You will find that the man in the photo with flax-colored hair is the former emperor who passed away five years ago, silently looking at the happy family in the photo, and Algernon Julia's slender figure is standing there. His pretty eyes are wet. Now, through the withered yellow paintings,
She saw a diligent, rigorous, and hearty figure, and with a bright smile, she kindly called herself "Julia, you must help my brother protect this country!" The whispers that were once seemed to be reverberating, except for the imperial prohibition. Few of the guards’ confidants know that Julia, the eldest daughter of the Algernon family, is actually the illegitimate daughter of the former emperor. She has always been fostered in the Algernon family in the name of the daughter of the Algernon family.'
After a while, the Secretary of Intelligence Harlan was brought to this office by the Janissaries, Algernon Julia opened a dusty document on the table, "His eyes flashed with killing intent." He asked in a cold voice, "Tell me,'Is that information true? Or do you know that I will act tonight and make up false information temporarily!'
"That is definitely a piece of truthful information!" Harlan knelt on the ground with his knees.' His face was pale and sternly said.' As for the plan of the Princess, the subordinates don't know at all!
"Yes, I miss you such a idiot! How can I see the abnormality of tonight!" Ah Ergenon Julia's murderous intent on her pretty face dissipated a bit.'When I received that information,' she was almost She stopped tonight’s action in fright. She didn’t know if the intelligence sent was a bait or a god-given opportunity. In the end, she finally considered the importance of the imperial meeting tonight. The ‘temporary adjustment plan 丨’ will be imprisoned in Figueros in the secret prison found it out'
Things went smoothly than she had expected. "There is a summary of the experience of the Southwest Incident." Algernon Julia’s arrangement this time is even more leak-proof"
She knows that the young emperor has been suppressed for too long.'You can't see the undercurrent surging under military action. Now Gaul Kyoto is the weakest time in hundreds of years.' The main force of the Guards was split into The New Northern Army and the New Western Army. The number of imperial guards staying in Kyoto is less than 1,000, but the Ministry of Military Affairs has just given the emperor’s secret to the establishment of the new army, Tie Lan, in the name of arresting Northwest spies in Kyoto. , The Wanxin Army of the Tielan Army was transferred to Kyoto. This is a dangerous signal.
Several consecutive years of national policy mistakes, the emperor’s prestige has fallen to a cruel freezing point, and the continuous loss of the city’s dissatisfaction with the emperor is about to explode. The local princes are facing the central area. Looking at him, the emperor only saw the superficial cheers, "seeing the financial gains", but did not think about "because of the thorough investigation of the incident." The military has made a real determination, and Algernon Julia has a full understanding of Tielan. '
This is a guy full of ambitions, and he can do nothing to achieve his goals’
Rasti was captured by the Falcons in the first battle, but I don’t know how to escape again. "The greatest possibility." This guy is a chess piece deliberately put back by the Vicia Falcon. "What capture spy? This The guy is the biggest spy,
The arrival of Tielan Legion made the desire of the military finally start to move around." The emperor Sijing was concealed by the continual victory of the Battle of the North, enough to see the situation clearly, plus some eagerness to grasp The military minister of power encourages,'If it weren’t for a sudden trouble tonight, maybe tomorrow’s waiting for one’s destiny would be very bad,
It’s good to be imprisoned or exiled. The possibility of secret execution is the greatest. In the contest of power in the empire, there are only two results: life and death. Whether it is for the empire or for yourself, tonight is the last Opportunity' Although she was in the manor outside the city, Algernon Julia had secretly weakened the defense force of the Guards in the palace to the lowest level in the previous month, and many guards were sent to the city. The patrol went, and what remained was'Algernon Julia's diehards,
The military is waiting for an opportunity. The emperor is waiting for the outcome of the Northern War. The military is also waiting. No matter what kind of report is sent to Kyoto, the military will take this opportunity to launch a coup. The plan is going well. Several important officials of the military have all been wiped out. What we have to do now is to put enough charges on these guys to make these very obtrusive guys disappear.'This kind of thing, of course, requires an expert.
"Tell me, "If you want someone like Ronda to die," what is the fastest way?’’
Algernon Julia put down the papers in her hand, and a cloud of dust rose on the table, looking at the Secretary of Intelligence Harlan, "this dull-looking guy" is the source of the empire’s sluggish foreign intelligence and stupidity, but on the basis of collecting charges, this The guy is definitely a real expert
"Miss Algernon, I don’t understand what you mean?,'Harlan raised his head' eyes were filled with confusion, but her heart trembled to death. I didn’t expect Algernon Zhu Yali to be so cruel. To get rid of an important minister of the military department!
"Don’t play me dumb! I know you understand!’’
Algernon Julia snorted very dissatisfied, "To tell you the truth,'Tomorrow I will behead Ronda and several military undersecretaries all beheaded.' If you can't find a way before dawn,'I'll behead you first.' Beheading them! Anyway, they are all dead. There is an empire’s intelligence minister as a foreshadowing, and they are considered dead!''
"If you don't want to die, tell me the way." Algernon Julia interrupted the whole poor beast's wailing very dissatisfied.' She looked at Harlan and said coldly, "You are not investigating the Northwest agent thoroughly. ? That's not easy? Add their names in ~ IndoMTL.com~ I have some reports on ministers' corruption of Mexican military resources, but "just like this, accusing them of being spies in the Northwest, I'm afraid it's not enough. . . .
. . "'Harlan's face turned pale in fright." He shrank his head and said hesitatingly
"Corruption of Mexican military resources? Do you really think that a crime like that can kill the undersecretary of the military department?" Algernon Julia said with cold eyes, killing intently, "From now until dawn, you still have hours 'I will give you five hundred guards and the power to dispose of them all. I don’t care what method you use, whether you ransack your home or dig the ground three feet. Before dawn, I want to see enough evidence to make their heads fall. I believe you can Didn’t the Intelligence Department do this? When the owner needs it, bring out something satisfying! Otherwise’ you stupid fellow, go and bury them with them! ’’
"It's'I understand' that I will definitely give the adults a satisfactory confession!,' Harlan heard this condition,'secretly relieved,' pale and nodded' and said with a trembling, "Since the adults gave it this way In addition to the natural existence, there is another kind of evidence called forgery. There are many experts in the Ministry of Intelligence in this regard. The other party is a spy in the Northwest, and there must be a lot of correspondence between them. There is also a lot of correspondence. The large number of accounts for the sale of military assets for'three hours' is enough! ’’
"Then hurry up’ I don’t have time to delay with you!’’
Algernon Julia waved to him impatiently." (To be continued) [] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
