Doctor Amnesiac, but not completely amnesiac

The title alone made the three of them stare in amazement.

"We may not be able to make those people give up their plan for the time being, but I can find a way to divert their attention to other areas - such as directly poking at the lungs of the nobles and the military."

The three of them looked through the draft and roughly understood the plan.

——In order to save the imperial finances that were on the verge of bankruptcy, Grand Duke Koschei decided to step forward and become the leader.

Ahem, no, it was to stand up and become the military's target, and advise His Majesty the Emperor to cut a lot of the empire's current largest financial expenditure.

"This plan suppresses both the nobility and the military. The only ones who are not affected are His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Civil Service led by Witte. Therefore, they will definitely devote all their energy to this matter instead of an opposition plan that needs to wait for the right time."

Qiao Yelan pointed out the most clear purpose of this plan.

And once the nobles and the military discovered that the emperor had put a gun to their heads, how would they have the time to care about the infected?

By the time public opinion has formed, the court will probably still be arguing about the matter, and by that time, no matter which force it is, no one will continue to force the implementation of the plan under the pressure of public opinion - then the problem will naturally be solved perfectly.

"this......"

Oleg could not hide his shock at all.

"Your Highness is truly a role model of nobility."

Yegor exclaimed.

Only Yevgeny looked at Qiao Yelan with an increasingly strange gaze.

You may not believe it, but he seemed to have seen similar methods before.

When His Majesty Vladimir was still the Crown Prince.

At that time, His Majesty the Emperor did not intend to make Vladimir the crown prince, and had even begun to build momentum for a new crown prince. At this time, Gaul sent envoys to humiliate the Lethanian Emperor Herkunzollon, and the Lethanian-Gallic War broke out.

At that time, Gaul was entering its heyday under the rule of Corsica I, and there was no country around it that could fight against it independently. Leitania tried to establish a new anti-Gallic alliance, but their traditional ally Casimir rejected the proposal.

Although Victoria joined the alliance out of her anti-Gaulish habit, it was plagued by internal problems, and the emperor and the nobles continued to fight for power.

The Emperor of Ursus actually did not want to join the war at this time, but he was very clear that Gaul and Casimir were already flirting with each other. If Lethania was defeated, then Casimir would most likely form an alliance with Gaul and launch an attack on Ursus.

So Ursus had no choice but to announce its joining the alliance - the purpose was to help Leitania so that Leitania would not lose so much that it even lost its pants.

A war that cannot be won naturally cannot be used to gild the crown prince. However, if the crown prince loses a war just after ascending the throne, it will undoubtedly shake his position.

Therefore, the emperor temporarily gave up the idea of ​​appointing a crown prince and sent the unpopular Vladimir to join the anti-Gallic coalition as a nominal commander.

This war also evolved from a local war between Leithania and Gaul into a world war that determined the fate of the West.

Historical books call it the Battle of the Four Emperors.

Then, something happened that no one could believe.

Gaul was destroyed.

The capital, Lingone, fell, King Corsica I disappeared, and every mobile city in the country was destroyed or occupied by the allied forces.

This battle established the reputation of the three men.

Victoria [Iron Duke] Grand Duke Wellington, who defeated the Gallic fleet with his unique battleship tactics.

Emperor Herhunzolun, the Witch King of Lethania, destroyed the entire Gallic vanguard army alone with Originium magic.

And Prince Vladimir of Ursus [God of War], who used extraordinary strategic command to annihilate the main Gaul army in one battle.

And when Vladimir returned to the Castle of the Holy Eagle with boundless glory and spoils, no one would think that the position of crown prince might fall into the hands of other princes.

Even the emperor did not propose any other candidates.

Because the Ursus people only believe in victory.

Yevgeny stared at Qiao Yelan who was still explaining the plan.

When Vladimir went on the expedition, he was not alone. He had an extremely mysterious aide who never showed his face in public.

Although there are many rumors and unofficial history in the outside world, ranging from Vladimir's illegitimate child to Vladimir's true love, the only point that has been proven is that this person is a Great Yan person.

Using unexpected events to stop something that could not be stopped, and then relying on reality and public opinion to pressure the emperor to make a choice, even though the things planned and thrown out were not the same as the Four Emperors' Battle and the Crown Prince's Choice -

But at least, its core idea is still clearly visible.

Back then, a mysterious Great Yan man appeared at the center of the empire's political vortex. Vladimir the Great rose out of nowhere and led the declining Ursus back to the top of the world's national power.

Now, a mysterious Great Yan man has once again appeared at the center of the empire's political vortex, and his methods are exactly the same.

So, does Ursus have hope of rising again?

"Just do it."

Yevgeny suddenly spoke up.

"We will complete our respective tasks according to your plan."

Qiao Yelan looked at Yevgeny with a little surprise. He was not sure whether the other party recognized him or really believed in his plan - after all, to be honest, his plans seemed to be some kind of political conspiracy.

Oleg may not see clearly, and Yegor is willing to pretend to be confused even though he knows the truth. Yevgeny is the only person he is worried about raising objections.

"I'll be in charge of the university. Oleg will mobilize the Ministry of Justice and work with Yegor. As for the political side, I'll have to trouble Mr. Qiao Yelan."

The old man's trust cleared the last obstacle for Qiao Yelan, so Qiao Yelan didn't need to waste any more words.

"give it to me."

------------------------------------------------

"Disarmament is not an option at all! His Majesty Vladimir decided on the organization of the Imperial Army Group, which means this is the best solution for the Imperial Army! The laws of our ancestors cannot be changed!"

"Isn't what His Majesty Vladimir is changing the laws of our ancestors? Every era has its own things that are adapted to that era. When it comes time to make changes, any opposition is poisoning the country!"

"You civilian officials only know how to cut the military budget! But once the military is disarmed, the loss of combat power is real. It is indeed easy to weaken it, but it is extremely difficult to restore it!"

"If we don't disarm now, we will be weakening the empire! The era of relying on swords and guns to expand the empire's territory is over! Now is the time to turn swords into plowshares and let the empire rest and recuperate!"

"The empire is surrounded by wolves, yet you are talking about turning swords into plowshares. I wonder if you have accepted bribes from Casimir's gang of merchants!"

Qiao Yelan was sitting in a wheelchair, and the wheelchair was at the center of the verbal fight.

Half a day had passed since he submitted this proposal. During this half day, except for Emperor Feodor and him, both of whom sat steadily in their respective "wheelchairs", everyone else joined the storm of power struggle.

Of course, on the scene, the civil servants who supported the proposal were clearly at a disadvantage. After all, this time the spearhead was directed at both the nobles and the military, and it was obvious that one could not win the argument with the other.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was taking sides, so Witt's side could still be maintained.

"Okay, there's no point in continuing to argue. Let's go back and calm down. We can continue this topic tomorrow."

Just when the civil servants were a little exhausted, the emperor spoke majestically.

However, Qiao Yelan thought that Fyodor might have drunk too much water and was a little restless.

After all, other people were wasting their saliva while drinking water, but Fyodor and Qiao Yelan were just drinking tea and watching the show.

During the meeting, the nobles showed their rejection of Qiao Yelan without mercy - however, this kind of open rejection was actually the safest, because it meant that assassinating Qiao Yelan was a thankless option.

There was still no change in the meeting the next day. When Fyodor had almost finished his tea, it ended.

On the third day, I watched people quarreling.

On the fourth day, I watched people quarreling.

Day 5, Qiao Yelan, oh Qiao Yelan, how can you be so addicted to watching others quarrel?

On the sixth day, I watched people quarreling.

Seventh day.

Before the quarrel began, Nicholas stood up first.

The nobles' eyes lit up, while the civil servants' hearts sank.

"Your Majesty, I am old and have been feeling weak these days. May I ask for your grace?"

Those who were not in the know thought that Nicholas was using his age to force the emperor to abdicate, but those who were in the know realized that the real deal had begun.

"Uncle, you are too kind. If you have anything to say, please feel free to speak up."

"I beg your Majesty to take over the command of the First Army."

The whole place fell silent.

Except for Witt, the Emperor and Qiao Yelan, no one else understood what was going on.

"The First Army was originally commanded by the late emperor himself. When the late emperor passed away, I was entrusted with the management. Now that I have returned it to Your Majesty, it can be regarded as returning it to its original owner."

Nicholas continued the performance.

"As for the issue of disarmament, I think it is beneficial to the country and the people and should be supported, but it should be treated equally and all army groups should be disbanded to the new organization."

The nobles were suddenly enlightened. It turned out that this was the way to play it. They had not been able to suppress the other party in the past few days. Wasn't it because the emperor had always been biased? Now that the emperor also had an army, he should stand on our side, right?

"Uncle Huang is right. We must treat everyone equally when implementing policies."

The emperor nodded and said something that confused the nobles.

"In that case, let's set an example starting with my First Army and directly disband them to the new organization."

what?

The nobles were all dumbfounded.

Nicholas was obviously stunned for a moment.

"By the way, didn't the Emperor's uncle say he wanted to ask me for a favor? Just go ahead!"

"This... my son Anatoly hopes to gain more experience, but it is not appropriate to start a war lightly now, so I beg Your Majesty to give him a new army group number. I wonder if Your Majesty will agree?"

The petrified nobles' eyes lit up again.

Yes! Disarmament is fine, we can open a new number! When the time comes, it will be like putting old wine in new bottles, right?

"Since it is a disarmament, then of course they cannot be given new numbers. Otherwise, wouldn't that be like trying to steal a bell while covering your ears?"

The emperor rejected the proposal with a smile.

"However, my uncle has made great contributions, and I still remember the affection between us as a family. In this case, I will hand over the number of the Sixth Army, which has not yet been rebuilt, to Anatoly. I hope to see a brand new Sixth Army that is completely loyal to the Empire appear again."

The nobles were petrified again.

"This...but your majesty, I was the one who wiped out the Sixth Army Group. Doesn't this mean that—"

"Isn't this just right? The army that fell at the hands of the Emperor's uncle will be rebuilt under Anatoly. This will allow the stain on the Sixth Army's flag to be cleansed."

Nicholas, who was already laughing in his heart, forced himself to sit down with a straight face.

The poor nobles were played around by the emperor and Nicholas.

Witt had closed his eyes in pain. When he thought of this, he remembered the money that was blackmailed from him.

But fortunately, not everything was lost.

His eyes fell on Qiao Yelan. The other party seemed to be just a person pursuing profit, so he could be used well.

After Nicholas took office, the military began to turn a deaf ear to the issue of disarmament, and the nobles gradually found it difficult to cope with the civil service group favored by the emperor.

It was only then that anyone with a discerning eye could see that Nicholas had thrown away the First Army number, which he had no chance of mastering, and in return had received a usable Sixth Army number - the price being to keep his mouth shut about the matter.

The nobles realized that Nicholas' words were not meant to "seek justice" for them, but to make a deal with the emperor!

It’s broken, I’m a substitute!

Chapter 61 Tried, but it didn't work

Just as the military began to turn a deaf ear and the nobles began to curse Grand Duke Nicholas while dealing with the attack of the civil service group, the public opinion explosion carefully planned by Yegor, Oleg and others also began.

When the news of the large-scale demonstration by the people and students in the Holy Eagle Castle reached the parliament hall, everyone was a little overwhelmed.

Fyodor's gaze shifted from the confused Qiao Yelan to the shocked Nikolai, then to the thoughtful Witt and the bewildered nobles.

The lobbyist Qiao Yelan knew nothing about this, Nicholas was probably worried that his son might be involved, Witt seemed to know something about the inside story, and the nobles were probably wondering why their thoughts were exposed.

Interesting…if these people were unaware, then that means the people who instigated this were not motivated by political bargaining, but simply by a sense of justice and were unwilling to carry out the plan?

Qiao Yelan saw Fyodor's gaze sweeping over and was satisfied with the reaction.

Sure enough, it was the right decision not to tell Nicholas about the plan - otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to act as naturally shocked as he did now.

As long as he is shocked, and only if he is shocked, can he truly get the military out of this mess.

The deal with the emperor was taken out of the political level, the public opinion plan he implemented was taken out of the grassroots reality, and only this shock could completely remove Nicholas from the emperor's heart.
