Zongman begins when lies come true

In the imperial capital, in the palace hall, a child with a healthy hairstyle on his head is trying to put on a small face, but he is too young, even if he has a straight face, it is useless, in the eyes of the courtiers below, he is just a mascot.

At this time, the child was sitting on the throne at the top of the hall, holding a golden scepter in his hand, looking at the noisy group of courtiers under him and several generals kneeling down on one knee in military uniforms.

"Several generals have been successful in suppressing the southern barbarians, Ernest, what kind of reward do you think should be given?"

Sitting on the throne was the young emperor of the empire, who had been specially cultivated by Ernest for more than four years, and he had developed the habit of asking Ernest when things happened.

At this time, looking at the several generals of the southern battlefield who knelt down on one knee below and waited for him, with an inquiring face, waiting for Earnest to teach him how to do it.

When Ernest heard the little emperor's inquiry, a smug look flashed in his eyes, and he stood on the side of the little emperor and looked at the several generals below, among whom Esdes was invited by him to join the army, and he must have given her the greatest military merit.

And Najeta, the imperial envoy who was comparable to Esdes in the war report, repeatedly opposed the officials of his faction, and even the head of the military attaché, General Bude, was dissatisfied with her and gave a reward at will.

"Your Majesty, this time to suppress the southern barbarians, General Esders is the first meritorious one, the war report mentions that General Esders not only led the troops to fight heroically, but also directly broke the barbarians' defense line head-on."

"The barbarian invasion force will be defeated in a short time, and General Esders must have made a great contribution, and he is fully qualified to lead an army alone and be made a marquis."

"The merits of General Najeta cannot be ignored, and they can be promoted to rank..." The

Estes and Najeta included below did not care much about Ernest's move to give Estes credit, and Najeta did feel that Estes led the charge with the greatest credit.

The other generals saw that the two did not refute it, and it was difficult to say anything, they still had self-awareness in this battlefield, and being able to sweep the barbarians was completely relying on the strong personal ability of the two women. (Seriously, I think Najeta and Esders, as generals, one thinks of singling out every day, and the other actually brings out an assassination team, I can only say that Xiao Ri people are really a bit of that...)

"Since you said so, I will appoint General Estes as the Great General of the Northern Expedition, and after being named the Count of the Empire, I will be rewarded with 100,000 gold coins, and a mansion in the imperial capital

..." "General Najeta will..." The

little emperor who announced the reward looked at Ernest expectantly, "Ernest Qing, is it okay to confer a reward like this?"

"Done right, done too well, Your Majesty, really wise!"

"In that case, a few generals get up, is there anything else that needs to be reported?" If nothing happens, retreat. The

officials in the group below who were still hopeful about the empire hurriedly stepped forward with evidence of Ernest's evil, these were several gray-haired old men, each of whom was an official of great prestige during the reign of the previous emperor.

Once they were also supporters of various princes, but now that Ernest single-handedly covered the sky, only a few of them still insisted on being in the court, this time they were no longer patient, and they had to prepare all kinds of evidence to make a final effort together, at this time, they were already old and decayed, and they had no energy to continue to spend with Ernest.

"Your Majesty, the old ministers have something to tell Your Majesty!"

"Ernest, as the chief minister of the empire, sold officials and barons, suppressed his colleagues, and now the people of all over the empire are oppressed by local officials under his indulgence."

"Your subordinates and others have already collected evidence, Your Majesty must severely punish Ernest, otherwise the empire will be over."

It's just that the little emperor didn't want to see the evidence they provided at all, but instead looked at Ernest suspiciously, and Ernest reacted violently, and tears were already bursting out of the corners of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely slander! The old ministers worked diligently for His Majesty, and the current empire is also living and working in peace, and they are completely slanderous! "

The old minister is by His Majesty's side every day, doesn't His Majesty still know me?" Their so-called evidence must be forged, just to let the old minister leave His Majesty's side, it is simply ill-intentioned! "

The other civil servants other than the few old ministers below are all Ernest's people, and at this time, they all said good things for Ernest.

The little emperor did not doubt Ernest's meaning at all, nodded and looked at the few old ministers kneeling below, at this time, these old ministers were already full of despair, they did not expect that this little emperor was so stupid, and he had no judgment at all.

"The ministers also assisted the father during his reign, why is it so unwise to frame Ernest, and the contribution that Ernest Qing has made to the empire is all in the eyes."

"You better take the initiative to resign and retire to the old age, for the sake of the people you once trusted by the Emperor Emperor, I won't punish you more!"

The little emperor felt that he was too wise at this time, and he solved a group of internal traitors who plotted against the empire, and now the court should be all arse ministers, right?

"Is there anything else to report? If not, retreat! Several

old ministers lowered their heads in despair and returned to their original positions, now they were completely disappointed in the little emperor, and they just wanted to find a place to retire and die.

And Ernest suddenly thought of the news from his subordinates a few days ago and reported it to the little emperor.

"Your Majesty, in recent weeks, officials loyal to the empire have died in various towns north of the imperial capital, and now even the murderer is unknown, Your Majesty must find out!"

When the little emperor heard Ernest say this, his face was angry.

"There is such a thing!"

"This kind of thing must catch the murderer, Ernest, who do you think is better to let investigate this matter?"

Although Ernest is already powerful, it is only because he controls the little emperor, and the army of the empire is still in the hands of General Bud, which is why he needs an ally in the army.

He looked at Bude, who was standing at the head of the military attaché, his eyes were full of contempt, this guy was a foolish and loyal person, who had adhered to the concept of military attachés not interfering in politics all his life, and there was no threat at all in his eyes.

"It's better to ask General Bude, this kind of question about rebels, or General Bud, as the strongest general of the empire, has the most say."

Bude, as a reckless man with no political awareness, does not play any language arts with you at all.

"Your Majesty, the minister needs to guard the palace, it is better to let Estes and Najeta be in charge of the investigation of this matter, Estes is comparable to me, and Najeta is also an imperial envoy, as long as the thieves show their horses' feet, they can be easily caught with their strength." (The strongest general of the empire acts as a guard for the emperor, and I want to complain every time I see this.)

"In that case, leave it to the two generals, and you must quickly find out the traces of the thief!"

"So let's retreat!"

Esdes and Najeta did not care about the fact that they had to carry out another mission just after returning to the imperial capital, and after the little emperor announced his retirement, they followed the flow of people and left the hall.

At this time, Najeta looked at the old ministers who were walking at the back to sue Ones, and at this time they left the palace with a haggard and blank look, which made Najeta sigh.

"Esders, don't you feel chilled by such a thing? When we came back, we had all heard about it, and the evidence of those old ministers may be true. At

this time, Estes and Najeta have become a lot closer due to the cooperation of the southern barbarians, and Estes also recognizes Najeta, a powerful imperial envoy, at this time, seeing her ask herself this kind of thing, he looked at her without care.

"Hehe, you as a general only need to fight hard, these problems are what civilian officials should do, be careful that your words are known by General Bude, he hates you very much."

Najeta Estes said this, retorting a little angrily.

"But now it seems that the civil servants are already Ernest's accomplices, and now they still pedantic if they think that military attachés are not allowed to interfere in politics..."

"Najeta, I don't care about these things, I care more about how I can become stronger, as long as I am strong enough, even if the empire is finished, I will not be affected in the slightest."

Najeta listened to Esders's words, her face froze, and then she sighed and skipped the topic, in her opinion, although the empire disappointed her, it was the orthodoxy of the thousand-year inheritance after all.

The little emperor was only temporarily blinded by Ernest, and when he grew up and had his own judgment, he should be able to make the empire change.

Both women stopped talking about the topic and left the palace while discussing how to track down the thief who was killing officials.
