"Tallulah gets the benefit, while Luo Chen takes the blame. What a brilliant plan."

"Hahaha!!!"

Kosice was laughing wildly when there was a knock on the door.

A snake-scale came in and bowed slightly - "Grand Duke, news from Saint Steed Castle."

"Put it down." Kosice said lightly.

As the Grand Duke of Ursus, Kosice's network of relationships is complex. The news about the Saint Steed Castle was naturally passed on by his own informant.

"The Imperial Parliament is preparing a new agenda? Do you want to severely punish Kamsko?"

Kosice looked at the words above, and a fierce look flashed across his eyes.

"These idiots are really only concerned about their own interests..."

"I won't allow you to ruin Tallulah's plan..."

Chapter 137 The Emperor's Troubles

Fyodor took a deep breath and closed the book in front of him.

He pressed his temple hard and let out a long breath. "Can you repeat it again?"

"Kamsko raided Saratov and executed the mayor of Saratov and all internal officials." Gilberto in front of him said cautiously.

"Kamsky presented a series of evidence - proving that Count Naik was guilty of treason and had conflicts of interest with Casimir..."

"That's not what I want to hear!" Fyodor shook his finger, "It's the latter part!"

"Uh... the investigation team from Saint Steed Castle was also in Saratov when the war broke out. The entire investigation team... has been confirmed to have been slaughtered by Count Lochen and his men."

"Where are my guards?"

"They reported this news to me... They are very sorry for not being able to protect your Majesty. The executor of this mission has been controlled..."

"He's guilty." Fyodor knocked on the table. "Suspend him for a month."

"Ah?" Gilberto was a little at a loss.

Your Majesty's brother-in-law was killed, and the bodyguards didn't even bring back the body. Now this is the punishment?

"You heard me." Fyodor looked up. "Anything else?"

"Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you." Gilberto swallowed and continued.

"Tell her I'm busy."

Gilberto's forehead was covered with sweat, "Your Majesty...if she wants to come in, no one can stop her."

"Haha..." Feodor sneered, "Call the guards here. Anyone who dares to approach here without my permission will be killed!"

"Yes!"

Gilberto took the letter from him and bowed solemnly.

As the Emperor of Ursus, getting married is no longer a simple matter.

It is impossible to get married for love. The marriage of a country's supreme ruler is a cooperation, a transaction, and a game.

Feodor hated his arrogant and unreasonable wife who had all the habits of a spoiled young lady.

The other party is so stupid that he has no brain of his own.

"There are so many points that can be attacked in this matter... If the emperor can't protect his own family, how can he protect others?"

"The spread of such rumors shows that I am incompetent and useless."

Feodor knew very well that the queen was not the key, she was just a gun controlled by someone. The key was who was holding it.

"Damn nobles!" Feodor snorted coldly.

It goes without saying that they are the nobles.

In the previous political turmoil, these nobles almost beat each other's brains out. In the end, all the positions in the Imperial Parliament were finally filled.

Feodor took advantage of this opportunity to manipulate the situation and increase the power of the royalists.

However, this incident also caused him to have considerable grudges with other forces.

They were just worrying about how to attack themselves, but Luo Chen gave them a perfect handle.

In this matter——

The death of Count Naik, the Ursus Civil War, and even the massacre of officials by Luo Chen were all more explosive than the last.

But compared with what happened to the inspection team, it's nothing.

Those nobles will spread the last thing crazily, letting the whole world know that Emperor Ursus is a waste who can't even protect his own brother-in-law.

This is simple political dirty water, but it is very difficult to deal with.

Unless... Emperor Ursus catches the murderer and punishes him severely to maintain his dignity.

But if you think about it carefully, it's impossible. Luo Chen is an "iron-blooded royalist". Isn't Feodor cutting off his own arm by doing this?

And to be honest, Feodor had no feelings for his wife, and had no impression of his brother-in-law.

Sending them to the internal guards was just a simple statement of stance.

If someone else killed his brother-in-law, Feodor would certainly pursue the matter severely. But... this time it was Luo Chen, and Feodor really didn't care.

But what to do with this dirty water?

"Luo Chen...what are you thinking about?" Fyodor felt a headache, "This is not right...Gilberto, what do you think?"

"Well... Count Luochen must have his reasons for doing this." Gilberto didn't want to answer this question at all, but since the emperor asked, he had to say it.

"Yes... he has his reasons..." Feodor nodded slightly.

"Saratov is an important economic and industrial city in the western part of our empire. During the time of the previous emperor, it was one of the first cities to be thoroughly industrialized."

"Capturing this place means occupying the economic hub of western Ursus. Taking this key city back from the nobles, we will return it to Ursus."

"Luo Chen will pay taxes. This is good for me and Ursus!"

"I know his patriotism and his loyalty to the emperor!"

"If he had only occupied Saratov, I would have done everything I could to suppress it. No matter what outrageous things he did in the city."

"but--"

"Why did he go to the trouble of slaughtering the inspection team?"

"According to what I saw of Count Rochen," Gilberto looked up and said, "he is very methodical and everything he does has a deep meaning."

"His thinking was so unconventional that even his subordinates didn't know why he did it. But the results proved him right time and time again."

"I think no matter what....Count Luo Chen must have believed that what he did was right, so he chose to kill all the members of the investigation team."

"In short, this matter is not that simple!"

"You mean, no one knows why he did this except Count Lochen himself?" asked Feodor.

"Your Majesty may understand this. But I believe that as time goes by, the right result will emerge..."

"Perhaps... this is the only acceptable explanation." Fyodor sighed. "I really wanted to have a long talk with this 'wise minister'... What a pity..."

"Never mind. I'll write a letter and send it to him later. Let's see if he's willing to talk about it."

"Oh, Your Majesty." Gilberto seemed to have thought of something, "The Imperial Parliament will be meeting in a few days..."

"I know." Feodor nodded slightly. "Forget it. While there is still time, we should do our best to collect evidence that is favorable to us. I don't want Luo Chen to be overthrown in the parliament."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

..........

A few days later, the Imperial Parliament convened as scheduled.

The main topic this time is still closely related to Luo Chen.

The nobles' main attack point was to start a civil war in Luochen, massacre officials, execute Count Naik, and harm innocent inspection teams.

Count Naick was a new noble, and his death had a huge impact on the parliament.

Many new nobles suddenly changed from their original neutrality to staunch opponents of Luo Chen.

Each side presented evidence - the royalists said that Lochen occupied Saratov and massacred officials. Everything was reasonable under the laws of the special jurisdiction. Moreover, Count Naik had committed treason.

Opponents believe that the evidence is fabricated. Even if it is treason, it is impossible to carry out such a horrific massacre. Are all the officials in a city traitors?

The two sides engaged in a war of words for a long time, and finally it was time for the MPs to vote.

Fyodor was a little nervous, even though the evidence seemed very real. But this so-called vote was not about correctness.

If he fails, Luo Chen will be labeled a "traitor".

......

Unexpectedly.

The result of the Imperial Parliament's vote turned out to be...

"This issue is not passed!" the presiding judge shouted, and then banged the gavel.

The congressmen present looked around in disbelief.

It should have been a sure win, so why did we fail this time?

"Grand Duke Koschei? This..." Fyodor, who was watching from the dark, widened his eyes. He saw it clearly. When the vote was raised, many of the old nobles who were originally firmly opposed to Luo Chen chose to abstain.

And they...are all related to Grand Duke Kosice.

Grand Duke Kosche is one of the most senior nobles in the Ursus Empire!

Why would this group of people help me?

Could it be....this was also planned by Luo Chen? !

Chapter 138: A hundred disadvantages and no advantages?

A factory in Saratov.

Luo Chen kicked the man in front of him to the ground, and then shouted -

“Is he a bad guy?”

"Yes!"

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the supervisor who was kneeling on the ground was shot in the head by Luo Chen.

"Good kill!"

"Wow, wow, wow.....He's finally dead!"

The workers in the audience cheered.

"I have cleared out all the bad guys in this factory." Luo Chen said loudly, "There will be someone in charge of the next production activities..."

"Uh..." Luo Chen saw a purple figure, and after a closer look, it was someone he knew.

"Minister Lin? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Chen jumped down from the stage and asked.

"......" Lin Yuxia looked at the corpses on the stage, her eyebrows moved, and finally she didn't mention it. She waved her hand, and the officials behind her immediately came out and began to promote Kamsko's factory regulations.

She turned to look at Luo Chen and asked -

"I heard you were injured during the battle? Are you still having problems now?"

"It's okay." Luo Chen shook his head. "Do you have any small groups? You found out about this so quickly? Let me tell you, it's normal for an organization to have factions, but if a mountain is established..."
