Chapter 1157 Sending the Phoenix King Away
"I don't care, you have to solve this matter for me."
Imrik, who shook his head speechlessly, motioned for the herald North to enter.
The herald holding a pen and paper meticulously recorded the Phoenix King's remarks. After being properly polished, he would send them to the outside world through his hands.
The Phoenix King pondered for a while, "The first letter is sent to the Van der Cooper family of Marienburg. As the ruler of the Elf Empire, I will not easily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. The agreement between the royal court and the empire is limited to A defensive alliance against Chaos and Greenskins.
The Marienburg Council is safeguarding its legitimate interests in its own way. The Phoenix King's Court expresses its understanding and respect for this matter, but it also hopes that the Council can safeguard the legitimate interests of the elves in Marienburg. "
"The second letter is sent to William of the Von Holsweig Schlisteryn family in Reikland. I know very well the importance of maintaining the unity of the empire. As the most important barrier against chaos in the old world, the empire is A country that requires the joint efforts of many forces can become strong.
Marienburg, as the empire's cash cow, attempts to put its own interests above those of the empire. This is a blasphemy against Sigmar, Ulric, and Tal. The Phoenix Court respects the Empire and hopes to achieve a deeper cooperative relationship.
The Reikland and I reached a friendly consensus many years ago. We believe that the empire needs a wise and benevolent, brave and honorable emperor to lead it in order to regain the glory of the era of Sigmar and Magnus.
Today Dieter IV is fatuous and incompetent, which is really a disgrace to the empire. I regard him as a reliable ally, but he regards the Phoenix King as a tool to make money. This is a stain on the relationship between the two countries.
I hope that von Holsweig Schlisteyin can carry the banner of reviving the empire, so that the Phoenix Court’s evaluation of the empire will be improved..."
"The third letter was sent to Thorgren, telling him that as High King, he would put pressure on the Electoral Council to impeach Dieter IV and step down."
"Fourth letter, sent to Roskov of the Patriot Army..."
After completing a series of operations, Imrik took a sip of black tea and quietly thought about what else he was not prepared for.
Marienburg's separation from the Empire is actually a good thing for the elves, as it can support the Council against the Elector Council.
But to the world at large, this is stupid.
The von Holsweig Schlistein family...that is, the family of Kadhammer. If Dieter IV is forced to step down this time, then the next emperor should be Kadhammer's grandfather, William.
Once Marienburg left the empire, it meant that the emperor would lose a cash cow.
I sighed in my heart, there are still a hundred years, Ka Dahami, I, the Phoenix King, will prepare things for you before your coronation. How should you thank me then.
Maybe... he'll give me a smack in the head with Gael Maraz?
After chuckling for a moment, Imric saw the herald's serious look and couldn't help but ask.
"What's up."
"Ulthuan has sent a message, hoping that you will return to the royal court as soon as possible to preside over the selection of officials.
Her Highness Alisala has selected one hundred and thirty-eight suitable candidates from various countries, but your personal signature and seal are required. "
"Troublesome." Imrik couldn't help complaining. According to the process, in order to maintain centralization of power under the newly established law, officials affiliated with the Royal Court must be personally appointed by the Phoenix King, and must be recognized by the gods and royal power to ensure the fulfillment of obligations and the exercise of power. Be impartial in power.
But the trouble is not just that. After appointing officials, if the position is to connect with the courts of various countries, they must also be recognized by the other parties. Otherwise, it will be empty talk if the local government does not recognize it.
To put it simply, it is the contradiction between the central and local governments.
Relying on his status as the most prestigious Phoenix King in history, Imrik can force various countries to accept officials, but if he appoints another agent, it will take a lot of effort.
“To repay Alisala, I will go back after I finish dealing with the matters in the old world… Also, if she really can’t stay idle, find another group of officials.
The Royal Court has no upper limit on personnel, the more the better. "
Alisara seemed to have expected such a response from her father, so the herald looked a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, the young queen hopes that you can agree to select some young nobles from Caledor as royal court officials... She believes that the previous standards are too strange. They require both ability and loyalty, and they must also have certain abilities in the face of the influence of chaos. Resistance."
"Recruiting noble young people as royal court officials..." Imrik thought about it for a while. Well... we can't start with this. Caledor established a country by force. If young people go to become civil servants, who will be with them in the future? Dragons fight side by side.
Moreover, the nobility itself is in conflict with the bureaucracy, and excessive nepotism will seriously affect the efficiency of law enforcement.
"No, what I want is for her to solve the problem instead of always trying to change it.
Continuing the previous standard, the more people, the better, but that doesn't mean just finding people to fill the number. The officials of the royal court must have the ability on the basis of ensuring loyalty and purity. "
"Yes, I will repay Her Majesty Alisala truthfully."
"Go ahead."
After the herald left, there were only two emperors left in the cabin.
Imric looked at Magnus's still gloomy old face and couldn't help but feel a little strange: "How many stupid things have you done during your time in power? The Marienburg Council just uses your letter of appointment as a source of jurisprudence... But Why can a fool like Dieter IV come to power?”
"Sigmar, he was not like this before..." Magnus sighed. After becoming an emperor, especially an elector from the most remote and poor area, he would soon be influenced by endless power and forget his original intention.
"Tell me his story. I am very interested in it."
…………
In the Golden Castle of Marienburg, Twen, the leader of the Van der Cooper family, had just received a reply from the Phoenix King.
He attached great importance to the letter decorated with gold foil phoenix on the surface. After carefully tearing off the printing lacquer with a paper cutter, he asked the translator who knew Elvish to finish it word by word.
Although the Phoenix King knew the Imperial language, it did not mean that the letters would be sent in the Imperial language. Some electors who occasionally had letters circulated had to hire Elvish translators at a high price. While ensuring that there was no omission in the translation, they also had to ensure that the content of the letter would not be leaked.
This kind of trouble would not appear in Marienburg. Merchants who had long been in contact with Ulthuan had trained a group of loyal and dedicated translators who circulated throughout the empire and sent useful information back to the Council.
The translator accurately said what the Phoenix King said, and Ben said he didn't want to get involved, which was lucky for Marienburg, but Tewin frowned, thinking that this matter was definitely not as simple as he imagined.
"Where is the Phoenix King now?"
The confidant who was always paying attention to the Northern Territory immediately replied: "The Claw Sea is about to arrive at Marienburg."
Twin's pupils shrank, "Convene a council meeting, we have to find a way to send the Phoenix King away." (End of this chapter)
