Chapter 560： Advice

Emperor Reinhardt fixed his icy eyes on Cardinal Knopton.

Unfortunately, Knopton ignored it at all.

When Emperor Reinhardt heard the news about the Northern Territory recently, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. Perhaps in his subconscious, the jealousy of the Northern Territory was even greater than the jealousy of the church.

At this time, Knopton threatened to cooperate with the St. Hild family, which immediately touched the most sensitive nerve of Emperor Reinhardt.

If Knopton and the Northern Territory join forces, once they succeed, wouldn't the royal family be marginalized?

The current North Territory has already made Emperor Reinhardt feel threatened. If he hooks up with the new pope, who is the empire?

The substantive coercion gradually diffused, making the air in the hall seem to become stagnant.

Knopton could clearly feel the undisguised killing intent of the imperial emperor beside him, but he still tasted the champagne in the glass with a calm expression.

The old cardinal cardinal had already seen through the emperor's lustful nature, knowing that he was just bluffing.

Sure enough, there was a stalemate for a long time. Seeing that Knopton showed no signs of softening, Emperor Reinhardt grunted and said coldly:

"Cardinal Knopton, I think twice, but still feel that as the emperor, we should not tolerate blasphemers like Gregorian to continue sitting on the top of the holy mountain."

Knopton showed a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you have made a wise decision!"

Emperor Reinhardt forced a smile and asked, "So, what is your plan?"

Knopton immediately said: "Your Majesty, there will be a regular meeting of the Cardinal Regiment at 9 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow. I will attend and pass the impeachment of Pope Gregorian.

I hope you can mobilize a team of elite knights to prepare, and immediately rush to the holy mountain after I give out the signal. Before the Knights Templar can react, you can control Gregorian first and don’t let him do anything irrational. behavior. "

Emperor Reinhardt thought for a while and said, "Okay."

At this time, Baron Heidegger, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Cardinal Nopton, the royal family's assistance this time is also conditional."

Knopton froze for a moment, but still asked: "What conditions?"

Emperor Reinhardt was also stunned, and looked at Baron Heidegger suspiciously.

Baron Heidegger winked at Emperor Reinhardt, and then said:

"Isn't the post of Archbishop of the East in a vacant state now? We hope that the new candidate for the Archbishop of the East can be approved by His Majesty."

Knopton frowned and turned to look at Emperor Reinhardt.

Emperor Reinhardt immediately woke up and nodded again and again: "Yes, this is my condition!"

Knopton was obviously hesitant: "Your Majesty, you are interfering in the personnel changes of the church, this is not in compliance with the rules..."

Baron Heidegger immediately said tit-for-tat: "The impeachment of the Pope by your Majesty's involvement in the impeachment seems to be equally unruly."

Knopton sighed, and had to say: "Well, the choice of the Archbishop of the East will be decided by you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Reinhardt laughed, raised his glass and said:

"Come on, I wish our cooperation smoothly!"

"Smooth cooperation!"

boom!

The three wine glasses collided together, and then there was a scene of the guests and the host having fun.

…

The night is getting darker.

The small-scale banquet at the Prime Minister’s Manor also came to an end.

Cardinal Knopton said goodbye first and left quietly under the cover of night.

Emperor Reinhardt did not rush to leave, but walked around the manor, followed by Baron Heidegger.

Under the bright moonlight, Emperor Reinhardt's face flickered, as if thinking about something.

"Heidegger, you have to tell me in advance next time about this kind of thing."

"Yes, Your Majesty! This time, it was mainly because of the sudden arrival of Knopton, and he is now out of sight, so that's causing you trouble."

Emperor Reinhardt nodded, and did not criticize Heidegger too much, but asked:

"When you promised Knopton to arrange this secret meeting, did you worry that he would fall to the north?"

"Yes." Baron Heidegger looked at the emperor's face and asked, "Your Majesty, do you not want to replace Gregorian?"

Emperor Reinhardt nodded and said, "Yes. I don't like this Knopton. If he had not been approved by the Cardinals, huh, I wouldn't bother to talk to him!"

Baron Heidegger sighed inwardly, and had to explain patiently:

"Your Majesty, the upper position of Knopton is actually the most beneficial to us."

"Oh why?"

"First of all, this person has an antagonism with the Saint Grian family in the West.

Secondly, he will not get close to the North. Don't look at him saying that if you don't help him this time, he will go to contact with the north, but this is actually just an excuse to deliberately provoke you. This time the behavior of the Northern Territory has completely offended the church. If Knopton does not want to lose his heart, he must be tough on the Northern Territory, and even retaliate.

In addition, we took this opportunity to have the right to appoint the Archbishop of the East. If you carefully consider the selection of the Duke of the East, the East will naturally return to the control of the royal family.

Therefore, if you want to suppress the church after this battle, the three realms of the west, north, and east will stand firmly behind you! "

After listening to Baron Heidegger's words, Emperor Reinhardt's expression finally eased a lot, and he nodded in praise:

"Well, it's great! Just remember to report to me next time, don't make your own way."

Seeing that Emperor Reinhardt was still struggling with this, Baron Heidegger nodded helplessly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The two walked for a while, and the Great Reinhardt suddenly spoke again:

"Heidegger, in fact, besides the church, I am also worried about the other forces."

Baron Heidegger naturally understood what Reinhardt the Great was referring to, and said, "You mean the northern border?"

"Yes." Emperor Reinhardt squinted his eyes, his eyes gleaming dangerously, "What they did this time is too extraordinary! Especially when the orc empire is about to invade, this is fundamental It's playing around with the national fortune of the Glorious Empire!"

Baron Heidegger thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to weaken the power of the North, it's actually not difficult."

"Oh?" Emperor Reinhardt immediately came to his mind, and asked eagerly, "Do you have any good ideas?"

"Your Majesty, the Northern Territory now seems to be arrogant, but in fact the core lies in one person."

"Who?"

"Guardian of the North, Earl Anglia!"

Emperor Reinhardt nodded in approval, and said, "That kid does have some abilities. How can you deal with him?"

Baron Heidegger shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, Earl Anglia is a kind of genius that has been difficult to see in a century, both politically and militarily. This is a gift from the Supreme Lord to the empire. The waste, it is better to win over and let him work for you!"

"Draw it up? How do you draw it?" Reinhardt the Great frowned. "He is the husband of the Duke of St. Hild."

"The Duke of St. Hild knows if he can wake up..." Baron Heidegger whispered, "And, your Majesty, what you can give him is far from comparable to the North."

"Oh? What else can I give him? He is not from the Paladin family and cannot be granted the title of duke, and the Marquis, the Saint Hild family can also give him."

Baron Heidegger said solemnly: "Your Majesty, UU Reading , have you forgotten the guardian of the empire?"

"The guardian of the empire?" Emperor Reinhardt suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Baron Heidegger said solemnly, "This position does not need to be a member of the Paladin family to hold it, I believe Earl Anglia will never refuse.

As long as Earl Anglia leaves the northern border, there is naturally nothing to worry about in the northern border.

What storm can a duke of the north, a Marquis of Garcia without ambition, be asleep? "

Emperor Reinhardt fell into silence, and said after a long while:

"I'll think it over."
