Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

The largest palace within the Imperial Palace is Gustav's personal residence and office.

Because it was a period of national mourning, all arrangements were simplified.

At this moment, Gustav was dealing with the accumulated government affairs of the past few days.

The Queen entered with several maids, bringing many snacks.

"Your Majesty, official duties are important, but rest is also important!" Elizabeth ladled out a bowl of sweet soup, gently blew on the spoon, and brought it to Gustav's mouth.

"Good, good! This honey-stewed red fruit is becoming more and more flavorful." Gustav opened his mouth, ate it, and praised.

"Your Majesty's mouth is even sweeter." Elizabeth responded with a smile.

"Haha, has anything interesting happened in the Imperial Capital or the palace recently?"

In the Holy Prague Empire, there was no law forbidding the empress from interfering in politics. In fact, every empress held extremely important power.

For example, the current Empress Elizabeth controls the entire Imperial Capital's intelligence system, and no disturbance in the Imperial Capital can escape her eyes.

"The Imperial Capital has been peaceful recently, without any disturbances. However, a rather embarrassing thing has happened in the palace. I am hesitant and don't know whether I should report it to Your Majesty," Elizabeth said softly.

"If there is anything, speak without hesitation." Gustav waved his hand.

"I heard that today, Royal Concubine Maria flew into a rage again, and many objects in the palace were smashed by her anger, and her anger has not subsided even now," Elizabeth narrated with a smile.

"What's wrong with Royal Concubine Maria again?" Gustav's expression darkened when he heard this.

He did have some affection for Royal Concubine Maria in his heart. After all, she was the first woman he met, and she accompanied him before he inherited the throne. However, Royal Concubine Maria's temper became increasingly irritable, causing trouble every two or three days, and sometimes even he, the emperor, had to suffer her displeasure.

"Because of this matter, I also secretly investigated and found that over the years, most of Soren and Yasso's monthly allowances have been forcibly taken away by Nicholas. Recently, Soren seems to be financially strained, and someone has even seen him refining refined salt, which Yasso sells to earn a living," Elizabeth said unhurriedly, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction with Nicholas and sympathy for Soren.

She not only wanted to sow discord between Royal Concubine Maria and Nicholas, but also wanted to make Gustav dissatisfied with this eldest son.

"Nonsense!" Gustav immediately became angry: "How dare Nicholas snatch what I bestowed?"

Especially when he heard that Soren was so poor that he had to refine refined salt to sell, he became even more angry.

A dignified prince had fallen to the point where he had to rely on selling refined salt to make a living.

"This Nicholas is too useless!" Gustav said, holding Neumann's proposal.

The proposal contained a detailed version of the plan proposed by Soren and Corena, with more detailed plans, including the scale of the army and the amount of disaster relief food.

As the saying goes, comparing people is infuriating. Thinking of Soren daring to come forward to visit Royal Concubine Maria, and then helping him solve the northwest locust plague, and looking at Nicholas, Gustav couldn't help but feel disgusted with Nicholas.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." A gleam flashed in Elizabeth's eyes.

"Tell me about it." Gustav knew very well that this empress was more than resourceful.

"Isn't Royal Concubine Maria recently wanting to adopt a prince?" Elizabeth said slowly.

Gustav frowned subconsciously. He knew very well that since Elizabeth said this, she must have considered it comprehensively.

"Tell me what you mean?"

"Now the court mage group is divided into three parts. Aunt Merlin is the strongest, followed by Your Majesty, and Royal Concubine Maria is the weakest. Moreover, because Royal Concubine Maria has no children, the hearts of her faction are already unstable. Once she completely loses power, the court mages on her side will definitely turn to Aunt Merlin's side. With Aunt Merlin's personality, it's hard to guarantee..."

After listening, Gustav's face became solemn.

"If the Empress Dowager loses power too early after her recent death, it will also cause people to gossip, saying that Your Majesty is ungrateful," Elizabeth continued, "I think it is most suitable for Soren to be adopted by Royal Concubine Maria. Soren is stable and decisive in handling affairs. With Soren's help, it will be more than enough to stabilize the decline of the Harron family and preserve the power of the court mage group."

"What the Queen said is right, but we can go with the flow on this matter. Personally intervening may cause dissatisfaction among many people," Gustav nodded.

The current Harron family is a piece of fat in the Imperial Capital, and everyone wants to take a bite. If we help too obviously, it will offend the public.

"I can basically confirm that Soren and Royal Concubine Maria already intend to unite, so we just need to wait and see. If they can't handle the remaining problems, it would be a waste of resources to support them, and it would be better to intervene personally."

Gustav waved his sleeve and swept all the scrolls on the table to the ground, and said, "Go, call them all to me!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The surrounding maids were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

"May I ask who Your Majesty is calling for?" The guard who rushed in asked.

"Everyone!" The originally smiling Gustav turned into an angry look and shouted: "Nicholas, Royal Concubine Maria, Soren, and please also invite Royal Concubine Maria and Empress Dowager Aefina!"

Life is like a play, and the play is like life, all depends on acting skills.

After being an emperor for decades, Gustav's acting skills have already reached the level of a movie emperor.

The news of Gustav's great anger quickly spread throughout the entire palace, causing panic.

Royal Concubine Maria was just counting the wealth in her palace. Since Soren had already put forward the price, Royal Concubine Maria naturally had to prepare for a rainy day.

A guard in silver armor had already walked into the hall and knelt down to report: "Royal Concubine Maria, His Majesty has ordered you to move to the main palace."

Silver-armored guards are the emperor's personal guards, absolutely trusted confidants.

The weakest of them are also sword masters.

Soren, who had just returned to his palace, saw a silver-armored guard standing outside his palace.

The guard knelt on one knee and said indifferently: "Prince Soren, His Majesty invites you to the main palace."
