After a while, Viscount Pacas came to the small conference hall on the side of the palace meeting hall and met with the Prime Minister.
There are four such small conference halls in total, distributed on both sides of the palace conference hall. They are used by the king for small-scale discussions. They are the military conference hall, the internal affairs conference hall, the diplomatic conference hall and the ceremony preparation conference hall.
Due to Cuilisi's laziness, since the death of Malan 22nd, except for the ceremony preparation chamber, the other three chambers have not been used for a long time.
Chen Xing changed the original internal affairs chamber into his prime minister's office. Previously, there was no "Prime Minister" position in Ice Blue City, so there was no office location.
Although it is a small conference hall, this "small" refers to the conference hall outside. There is a large conference table that is more than 30 meters long and 78 meters wide. It is visually estimated that the room area exceeds 500 square meters.
Chen Xing was not polite. After moving the large conference table, he directly moved the large desk of Malan 22nd in. He also selected some pleasing treasures from all over the palace as decorations, including precious calligraphy and paintings, famous swords and guns. , sculptures and armors, cultural relics and antiques, gem vessels, precious instruments, everything is priceless.
Just scan it with a black watch, and the total value exceeds one billion gold coins.
However, these national treasure-level artifacts are all marked with the exclusive runes of the royal family. Before the blood of the Malan royal family is completely extinct, even if they are put up for auction, few people would dare to buy them.
To put it bluntly, even if it were used as collateral by the World Bank, they would not dare to accept it.
Therefore, these things can only be seen as novelties and cannot really be turned into money.
"The commander of the Guards Corps proposed to me to resign. What do you think of this matter?"
Viscount Pacas stood in front of his desk and Chen Xing asked straight to the point.
"This is a good thing!" Viscount Pacas replied without thinking, as if he had expected this situation. "Your Excellency only needs to hand over the position of legion commander to an obedient person, and you will be able to fully control the Guards!"
"But I'm new here, and I don't have many acquaintances in the army." Chen Xing sighed falsely, looking embarrassed.
Upon seeing this, Viscount Pacas immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "I am a lowly official, but I am willing to share the worries of the Prime Minister!"
"What do you mean..." Chen Xing deliberately lengthened his voice.
Viscount Pacas said loudly, "As long as the Prime Minister appoints me as the commander of the army, I will be conscientious and loyal to my duties. I will be loyal to the Prime Minister without any second thoughts." He raised a hand and said with confidence, " As long as the Prime Minister says a word, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"That's it..." Chen Xing looked thoughtful, pondered for a while, and said to the other party, "Ai Qing, please go back first, let me think carefully before making a decision."
Seeing that Chen Xing did not refuse, Viscount Pacas looked happy and said loudly, "I am always waiting for the Prime Minister's orders!"
Viscount Pacas then left. Looking at the figure gradually getting further away, a sharp light flashed in Chen Xing's eyes.
A middle-level officer actually wanted to use him to achieve success. Do you really think that Chen Xing is a fool?
"Call Aqiaomu over!"
"yes!"
Not long after, the chief judge, dressed in military uniform, came to the small council hall, put his boots together, and knelt at Chen Xing's feet.
His eyes dropped to the ground, not daring to show any signs of neglect.
"Get ready to arrest Pacas of the Praetorian Guard tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
The next morning, Chen Xing summoned Pacas again.
As soon as he reached the door of the meeting hall, Pacas was arrested on the spot by the Black Prison Guards who had been ambushing nearby, and was directly escorted to the Black Prison Trial Center. At the same time, his residence on Sapphire Street was seized and all his immediate family members were placed under control.
"I am a soldier of the Imperial Guards, why do you arrest me!"
Even though he was shackled by Gleipnir and escorted to the underground cell, Pacas still did not give up his struggle.
"The one who gave the order is the Prime Minister, please wish yourself well."
Aqiaomu said lightly, pushed Pacas into the cell, and then the inquisitor next to him locked the cell door.
"What, is it the Prime Minister? No, it's impossible. You must have made a mistake! The Prime Minister values me very highly, and there's no way he could order my arrest!" Pacas threw himself on the iron door, desperately holding on to the ventilation window. of iron bars.
Aqiaomu glanced at the man with some sympathy, "I really don't know whether I should admire your courage or marvel at your stupidity."
"The Prime Minister is such a shrewd person, but you dare to deceive him with such extremely low means. Are you mocking his intelligence?"
"Don't forget, Judge..." Pacas lowered his voice and reminded, "I gave you a confession."
"If it hadn't been like this, do I think I would have said so many things to you?" Aqiaomu sneered, and then his face turned cold, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, your home has been ransacked, if no one from above protects you, you It was so cold the next time.”
Pacas turned pale, "No, no..."
He was sweating profusely and shaking his head like a rattle, but Aqiaomu sneered and turned away, leaving him banging the door and banging his head behind him, wailing helplessly.
A few hours later, the news of Pacas' arrest reached Garfield, the commander of the Guards Corps, as Achomu deliberately revealed.
Of course, this was Chen Xing's instruction, not because A Qiaomu received a favor to help others eliminate disasters. Now Aqiaomu is afraid of Chen Xing to the core. Even if there is no physical contact, just being glanced by Chen Xing's eyes will send bursts of dull pain in his body, as if his internal organs are trembling, and his intestines are spasming, like countless It's like muscle memory after a workout.
Her fear of Chen Xing has penetrated deeply into her bones and is engraved in her soul, and she dare not overstep it in the slightest.
This fear has even surpassed Triris's. The result of offending Cuilisi is a tragic death, but the result of offending Chen Xing is worse than death. She has experienced it personally and will not make the same mistake again.
Previously, the reason why she wanted to kill Chen Xing was because Chen Xing had many similarities with the regiment leader who tortured and modified her body. In order to overcome her psychological fear, she wanted to kill him.
After gaining strength from Cuilis, the first thing she did was secretly return to Dafangzhou, chop the captain into minced meat and feed it to the dogs, and then take her family to Ice Blue City.
She thought the nightmare was over, but she gradually discovered that instead of disappearing, her fear was growing day by day.
This fear comes from Chen Xing.
Especially when I see on the news that the other party is constantly getting stronger and surpassing themselves. It was an indescribable feeling. Even though the other person was completely different from her and had no contact with her at all, she felt inexplicably scared.
She knew that Chen Xing had become her new nightmare. If the other party did not die, she would never have peace.
But the chance of killing the other party seemed very slim, so slim that she even thought it was impossible.
Chen Xing is cautious and alert. He seems to have eyes on the back of his head. He is in a high position and has strong opponents around him. These two points alone are already difficult to deal with. What's more terrible is that the opponent can also move instantly. Think about it. Catching him is even harder than climbing to the sky, and it is not comparable to that of the group leader.
Fortunately, the opportunity came quickly. Perhaps Chen Xing's only shortcoming is that he has too many enemies. Princess Red Dragon contacted her and wanted to cooperate with her inside and outside to kill Chen Xing.
She naturally agreed, but she didn't expect that she would eventually fall into the abyss.
Now, she didn't even dare to think about directly killing the other party on the ship. Maybe when she does this, something unexpected will happen and the situation of the other party will be reversed instantly.
The only thing she regrets now is that she shouldn't have provoked Chen Xing in the first place.
In this way, she might still have a few good years to live until she finally has no way out.
She knew that this was her fate, and Chen Xing was her nemesis. No matter how she resisted, she would eventually fall into his clutches and be tortured.
The only thing she can do now is to please and satisfy the other person as much as possible in order to alleviate the pain she suffers.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the Commander of the Imperial Guards, Lord Garfield, the Marquis of Glory, would like to see you."
The title of nobility is prefixed with the prefix "Glory", which represents a noble who does not have a territory matching his status.
Marquises are generally the lords of principalities or city-states. Marquises of Glory are extremely rare and are usually awarded to legendary powerful men without territories, or to important ministers of the kingdom with great power.
The commander of the Guards Corps can indeed bear the title of Marquis of Glory. There is a real person who can trigger an earthquake with just a step of his feet with a heavy army in his hand.
However, Garfield is quite self-denying, very different from the power in his hands. He acts low-key, is humble, and never disputes with others.
Chen Xing learned this from many ministers with different positions. If everyone, regardless of faction or position, has almost the same evaluation of a person, then it is probably true.
However, in front of Chen Xing, this Garfield showed his sharp edge, like an unsheathed sword, shining with cold light, as if he was about to kill someone at any time.
But Chen Xing knew that the real murderous sword was still in the scabbard, but it was full of murderous intent.
At this moment, Garfield only had an edge and no killing intent. In other words, it's bluff and purely scary.
Chen Xing III was a man who could see through Garfield's intentions at a glance.
There was silence in the office, except for the rustle of reports being turned.
Garfield, who walked in with a fierce aura and murderous intent, was left hanging for three minutes.
At this time, no matter how slow he was and how ignorant he was of officialdom, he still knew that his intentions were seen through by the other party, so he opened his mouth and shouted, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
"Didn't you resign?" Chen Xing raised his head and interrupted him, with a strange expression on his face, as if he was looking at a mentally retarded mental patient.
A moment of embarrassment flashed in Garfield's eyes.
If he doesn't speak, the other person won't speak, but as soon as he does, the other person will choke his next words first. This feeling is really depressing.
He has been in the military all his life, from the lowest soldier to the commander of the Imperial Guard. He has experienced hundreds of battles. He is a true portrayal of an iron-blooded soldier. At the same time, he holds a high position of power. He has never encountered such a scene.
He subconsciously opened his mouth and said again, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister..."
"Didn't you resign?"
The same thing was repeated again, and Garfield was a little confused.
He has never encountered such a boss before. The old king in the past and Cuilis now are both kind and powerful, and they always stick to their word.
But the Prime Minister in front of me looks like...
A low-ranking soldier.
Garfield had never seen such a person before. Even when he was a soldier, his colleagues around him were all textbook excellent soldiers.
The Imperial Guard selects elite soldiers with outstanding talents, clean backgrounds and serious personalities. Not to mention one in a thousand, at least one in a hundred, a benchmark among ordinary soldiers.
To him, this kind of soldier seemed to only appear in prison. Not to mention the Imperial Guard, even the regular army at the next level does not have such people. Perhaps only the local garrison or mercenaries can produce such inferior soldiers.
Garfield never dreamed that one day he would become the subordinate of a certain soldier, which simply refreshed his understanding of the world.
