Lant Galloping Horse's current official title is still Court Earl, and the levels recognized by the empire are still Silver Knight and Junior Magister. However, such a nobleman actually cursed in the Imperial Finance Department in front of the chief secretary of the Finance Department. A high-ranking civil servant.
What happened to Jacob Shubin had spread throughout the Treasury building before Rand left the Treasury's door, and was even known to the entire top bureaucracy.
Less than 10 minutes after he left, Imperial Civil Service Chief Han Fei Appleby found Frank Douglas, Chief Secretary of the Department of Finance, and asked for details.
The two legends tried to persuade Lant to change his mind before the incident was further developed, that is, before the emperor himself or the God-Emperor learned about it. Unexpectedly, Lant went directly to the palace without saying anything and met the emperor himself before they found him. .
"How did that kid get past all the layers of declarations and directly enter the palace?"
Mr. Han Fei is in a very bad mood now. In his opinion, the entire bureaucracy should not be interfered by anyone. However, a border noble not only challenged the authority of the bureaucracy in public, but also found an angle that was almost impossible to counterattack: blasphemy. god.
"I heard them say that he entered the magic furnace control room in the palace for the reason of maintaining the magic furnace, and His Majesty heard about it and summoned him directly." Frank, the chief secretary of the Department of Finance, muttered.
Frank's face was equally ugly. After all, Lant cursed his subordinates in front of him. What's even more troublesome is that Lant has shown an extraordinary relationship with the goddess of wealth and the goddess of magic network. The Finance Department really doesn't dare to take it easy in the future. provoke.
"First he cursed the imperial officials, and then met the emperor directly. In the future, will he be able to easily meet every majesty through that magic furnace and talk to any legend anytime, anywhere?" After saying these angry words, he He was also startled.
"Oh, damn, he can really do that."
The two legends suddenly stopped in the palace. Han Fei's eyes flashed with golden light, and countless legal provisions flashed past in the golden light.
"That guy named Jacob..." After thinking for a long time, Han Fei suddenly said, "There must be something wrong."
"No need to ask. He has gone to poke the hornet's nest in Ye Qicheng several times. How can he be ok in his mind?" Frank didn't understand what Han Fei meant and was just complaining.
"No! What I mean is that he must have done some very problematic things, such as colluding with orcs, sea monsters or fallen demons during the war." Han Fei looked at Frank, "hurry up and think of something."
"That's the orc. He has a fixed communication channel with the orc royal court."
Han Fei nodded: "That's him. Arrest him immediately for this reason. Find people from the Imperial Knights to arrest him secretly."
"Han Fei! Are you crazy? This is worse than the magic network curse..." Frank yelled in a low voice.
"Only in this way can this influence be controlled within an acceptable range!" Han Fei whispered, "Lant Galloping Horse's priesthood was granted by the Magic Network, and the bureaucracy cannot compromise with the Magic Network just because of a traitor who colluded with the orcs. If a conflict occurs, the impact of this matter cannot be allowed to expand indefinitely.”
"Ah, I understand." Frank nodded. "I let it out to the outside world. This man colluded with the orcs during the war and made a fortune from the war. He was discovered by Rant during the internal investigation."
"Yes, by the way, those bills..." the civil servant whispered in the magic net.
"Of course!" The financial secretary nodded. Since he was giving up a subordinate, he had to take this opportunity to write off more accounts. "He participated in the expenditure of at least more than 15 million gold coins during the war."
"Two Excellencies!" A chamberlain suddenly stopped the two of them, "Your Majesty Han Fei Appleby, His Excellency Frank Douglas, His Majesty the Emperor is communicating with Marquis Lant Galloping Horse, Your Majesty invites you to see them."
"Yes!" The two old bureaucrats confirmed their eyes and followed the chamberlain into the palace.
…
The Imperial Palace is a large complex of palace buildings located in the center of the imperial capital. It has been the core of human civilization since before the ancient human empire.
After the God-Emperor ascended to the throne of the Demigods, a new palace was opened in the northwest area of the original palace. The 500-meter-high main building stands out among the old buildings and is also called the Cloud Palace.
However, not long after this palace was put into use, the God-Emperor built the Tower of Purity and moved away. It was not until 725 that the God-Emperor passed the throne to his great-great-grandson Zhang Chen, making Yun Palace the center of the empire again.
Under normal circumstances, if a nobleman below the duke wants to meet the emperor himself, he needs to apply at least one month in advance and undergo special etiquette training by the Chamber of Commerce before he can enter the timetable for the emperor's interview.
However, the palace was among the first areas to install magic furnaces. In the magic furnace room underground in Yun Palace, from the moment Lant installed the magic furnace, special maintenance notification procedures were formulated for him. He only needed to report to the magic furnace in advance. If you apply for the control room of the furnace, you can enter the magic furnace room in the center of the palace.
In the afternoon, Lant almost stepped into the magic furnace room and was asked to leave by the secretary of the Chamber of Commerce who was waiting aside. The emperor was very interested in what just happened. He wanted to know what kind of mentality Lant Galloping Horse had. , placing themselves in opposition to the entire bureaucracy.
The highest floor of Yun Palace is a one-story high-ceiling garden. Under the 30-meter-high roof, it seems to be a paradise, with green pines and cypresses, small bridges and flowing water, and even a courtyard that looks familiar to Lant.
"I'm afraid this is the work of my fellow countryman, right?" Lant thought to himself.
"Sir Lant, His Majesty is already waiting for you!" The secretary of the chamberlain led Lant into the courtyard. He saw a middle-aged man who looked about 50 years old, wearing pure white with dark patterns of magic spider silk. He was wearing a long robe and was sitting on a stone bench, stroking a deer.
As soon as Lant approached, the deer opened his mouth and said, "Are you Lant Galloping Horse?"
The deer broke away from the emperor's hands, walked up to Lant, rubbed his head on his thigh, and the four glands on his head and in front of his nose were constantly opening and closing.
"What...what do you call me?" Lant knew that the monsters that could talk were probably high-level monsters, but the ones that could always accompany the legendary mage emperor must be legendary after all.
"Just call me Meng Qiya. I'm not a deer, I'm a muntjac!" Meng Qiya heard Lant and laughed: "Does your high-end black scale horse care about you very much?"
"How did you know?"
"She left a scent on your body, but maybe she will be jealous after you go back..."
"Ah, this..." Lant touched the muntjac's head and felt that his head was a little big.
"Mengqiya, Marquis Lant came to see me because of something important." The emperor waved, summoned Mengqiya to his side again, and said to Lant, "Lant Galloping Horse, you stabbed me today. It’s a big mistake. Do you know that in the past thousands of years, not to mention a high-ranking lord like you, but also those demigods and legendary lords, how many people dared to challenge the entire bureaucracy?”
