Why did Colin let Vera go back to the Phoenix Palace first?

Because he has a guilty conscience.

The reform proposal he put forward just now for the Senate will indeed greatly weaken the influence of the consul.

But at the same time, it will also greatly damage the interests of the five paladin families.

Think about it, if any elder of the Paladin family fails to be elected as the Archon after the reforms are implemented, it will be an embarrassing thing.

This will cause great damage to the prestige of the Paladin family, and the family's interests in the Senate cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, Colin worried that this proposal would arouse Vera's opposition. After all, Vera was about to become the Duke of the North, and it was inevitable that she would consider the issue from the standpoint of the St. Hild family.

Of course, Colin is sure to convince Vera, because as far as the current situation is concerned, the Archon Sebas is for the St. Hild family, or more accurately Vera and Colin, It is a hindrance rather than a boost.

It's just that more is worse than less, and Colin doesn't want to offend other paladin families because of this.

"Prime Minister, this proposal is a gift from me. The only requirement is that you don't mention my name when you bring it to the Imperial Conference."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Baron Heidegger's expression became more interesting. "I'm already 90% sure that this proposal will be passed. This is an excellent opportunity to change the political situation of the empire and even change history!

Viscount Angele, are you willing to give me such a famous opportunity? "

Colin said indifferently: "It's just a fame, I don't care. As long as the political situation of the empire can be improved as a result, then I will be satisfied."

Baron Heidegger smiled thoughtfully, seeming to see through Colin's careful thoughts, but he didn't care.

For him, this reform proposal is an excellent opportunity to weaken the influence of the Senate.

Even without mentioning the personal grievances between him and the Senate, from the political standpoint of the imperial prime minister, Baron Heidegger hopes to be less constrained by the Senate.

As for offending the Paladin family, Baron Heidegger didn't care much. His power and status all came from the emperor. It didn't really matter what the four dukes thought of him.

Moreover, Baron Heidegger was convinced that His Majesty the Emperor would definitely support this reform proposal. After all, the Senate was originally established to restrict the imperial power, and the emperor might be eager to abolish it completely.

"Your Excellency, I admire you for your outstanding character!

If that's the case, then I'm not welcome. I will send this reform proposal to the Imperial Conference as soon as possible for discussion. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor will be very interested in it.

However, just taking your wisdom as my own, I am also a little uneasy. If you have any needs, you can take this opportunity to raise them, and I will try my best to help. "

Colin's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you must also know that the Northern Territory has just experienced two turmoil, people's livelihood is withered, and famine is raging. If the central government of the empire can support some food, then I will be grateful!"

Baron Heidegger frowned when he heard this. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Excellency, this request, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to handle.

It's not that I don't want to help you. There is indeed some grain in the imperial treasury, but this grain is already useful, so..."

Ke Lin moved in his heart and asked, "Is it going to be to the West?"

"Yes." Baron Heidegger nodded, and when he saw that Colin looked calm, he explained again, "Your Excellency, with all due respect, the West Territory needs this batch of food even more. The expeditionary army that has crossed the Tianduan Mountains is still fighting the orcs. If there is no such food support, I am afraid that there will be a big problem.

Although there is also a food crisis in the North, after all, the rebellion has been calmed down, and I also know that you seem to be prepared. Although the food in the half-elf kingdom cannot fully meet the needs of the North, it can temporarily alleviate the urgent need. "

Colin was silent.

He knew that the emperor chose to support the West instead of the North. Perhaps the West was fighting the orcs as a factor, but more importantly, it was due to the Paladin, Duke of St. Gerlian.

His existence makes the West Territory more valuable.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, supporting Vera to the position of duke and then sending Prince Harrison to Colin as a student was the greatest win.

"Well, I can understand your embarrassment." Colin smiled. "However, you also know that buying food with half-elves requires a lot of money. The current financial situation of the St. Hild family is extremely difficult, so the Empire Can the central government exempt part of the northern border from taxes?"

Baron Heidegger hesitated: "I can help you mention it at the Imperial Conference, but it depends on your Majesty's meaning if you can succeed or how much you can get."

"Excuse me!" Colin couldn't force it any more, so he could only express his gratitude.

Baron Heidegger thought for a while, and suddenly suggested: "Your Excellency, if you want more tax relief, I have a way."

"Please speak."

Baron Heidegger lowered his voice and said, "You can march into the East."

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately understood what Baron Heidegger meant.

In fact, this is the real reason why Reinhardt the Great wooed the North.

The Eastern Realm fell completely to the church, and it has long been a thorn in the eyes of Emperor Reinhardt. If Colin can lead his army across the Rage River and even capture Bailu City, the emperor will not hesitate to agree to how much support is needed from the Northern Realm. .

But unfortunately, Colin did not want to be a murderous knife in the hands of the emperor.

What's more, the current situation in the north can't stand another big battle. If you force a war with the east, I am afraid that there will be a human tragedy in the north.

"I will consider it." Colin said lightly.

Baron Heidegger seemed to see Colin's perfunctory meaning, and he smiled: "Actually, you don't really have to start a big battle. As long as you make a move towards the East, then I can help the North at the Imperial Conference. speak."

Colin rubbed his chin, and suddenly the name of a city-Clover City appeared in his mind.

Perhaps it was possible to suddenly send troops to occupy Clover City without precautions in the east.

There is no city defense army in Clover City, and unexpectedly, it can be captured without sending out a large army. At the same time, the geographical location of this city is destined to be extremely sensitive, and it is easy to cause a confrontation between the two borders.

Colin can also use this to "show loyalty" to the royal family and "pull support" by the way.

"Okay, UU reading I will consider it." Colin said the same, but his expression was already a lot more cautious.

Baron Heidegger also saw that Colin was not perfunctory this time, so he smiled and said nothing more.

Then the two chatted for a while, and Colin got up and said goodbye.

Baron Heidegger sent Colin to the door, and suddenly said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you did help me a lot this time. As a personal thank you, I also want to give you a gift."

Colin's expression moved, and he smiled and said, "I don't know what the gift is?"

Baron Heidegger said mysteriously: "When you return to the North, if you have time, you might as well take a short detour and take a walk to Winter Spring. You may have unexpected gains."

Colin frowned, but seeing that the Prime Minister didn't intend to elaborate, he didn't ask much, and after casually replied, he left.
