I, Emperor Ursus!

"Your Majesty, please come out quickly, we really have something to report to you! If you don't come out, Ursus will face great disaster!"

It's just that those who dare not rebel, and those who dare not rebel for the rest of their lives, can only howl and hope that Nicholas will come out and maintain his life. When he sees the imperial army holding the guns outside the door, he is instantly scared Just like Sun Tzu, outside the cordon stipulated by the Imperial Army, the ministers stood in place and kept mumbling about the hope that Nicholas would go out.

"Ah, it feels so good to be lazy~"

It's a pity that the ministers didn't know that because of the sound insulation effect of the room, Nicholas in the room couldn't hear any noise. He lay leisurely on the bed with his legs up and read the newspaper. Feeling like an otaku, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and only reads pornographic books, but there are no pornographic books, only newspapers can be companions, and he can't even play in Fiji.

Being an emperor has always been a difficulty. As a monarch under one person and over ten thousand people, how can he read such dross things as little yellow books? If the maid finds out, he must burn it. You can't open 97 and pink software if you keep it secret. If you want to be reckless, it seems impolite for the maid who cleans up the garbage to smell some strange smell. Anyway, the smell is a bit exciting.

From the beginning to the end, the feelings of the ministers outside were not considered at all. On the contrary, the sadder the ministers outside were, the happier Nicholas was. How could he not know what the ministers outside were planning? It makes sense to cry, such people are also worthy of being called parents officials, and some people are even the chief inspector who manages this group of corrupt officials, which really makes him sick.

The reason why they gathered together in an organized way, Nicholas can think of it, is that these people are so scared now. Under the investigation of the KGB, they efficiently captured a group of people who didn't even bother to hide the money early this morning. The most important thing for corrupt officials to get up is to bypass the institution of the Procuratorate, which is enough to cause a sensation in the court of Ursus, and anyone who has a derailed heart is naturally in danger.

Fearing that the Inspectorate, which instinctively protects itself, has lost its practical effect, the establishment of the KGB is the last straw that crushes these ministers in Nicholas' plan. These ministers will undoubtedly block the door of the emperor like crazy, I can't even find a suitable excuse to resign collectively. I can't just make up a reason at will, and if it spreads to the people, I can only insult myself.

Either wait for corruption to be found out by the KGB, go to jail and be ruined.

Either voluntarily confessing the crime, reducing the penalty, or ruining the reputation.

Neither of these items is an unacceptable reality for the ministers.

Nicholas undoubtedly understood this truth.

Immediately, while Nicholas was reading the newspaper, someone 'successfully' entered Nicholas' room.

"Chen Valentin, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The surprise was none other than Valentin, the chairman of the committee who was related to the oligarchs, and bowed towards Nikolai. Valentin quietly glanced at Nikolai who was lying on the bed too lazy to put on an appearance. The gloom that erupted was aggravated a lot, but he didn't dare to express it in words.

He yelled outside the door for two hours, his throat was dry and he kept yelling, he didn’t drink or eat, and he didn’t dare to walk under the hunger and cold, for fear that the KGB people would come to arrest him when he returned to the office. , As a result, the emperor was lying on the bed reading the newspaper for a long time! ?Depend on!Can the emperor show some face, it's tiring to shout like this.

"What's the matter? I saw you spitting outside the door for two hours, so I summoned you to see what you would say. You also have to take care of the maid's mood. You can't just increase the workload on the maid. , The maids mop the floor in the palace every day. If you have bad breath, the maids have to wear masks to mop the floor? This is too wasteful of resources and not thrifty."

Nicholas asked without changing his face while reading the newspaper, his right leg was still idly resting on the knee of his left leg, with no socks on, and he even shook his toes a few times.

"...Your Majesty taught me that."

The corner of Valentin's mouth twitched when he heard it, and he replied with a smile on his face. Valentin tried his best to suppress his rising emotions, fearing that Nicholas would see something, so as not to be caught by Nicholas. What kind of excuse is left behind.

You have bad breath, your whole family has bad breath!If you don't come out, who would want to spit there... Ahh!Advice, some people who can 'cry' almost shed their tears, whose fault do you think this is!Feeling that the status of these officials is not as good as that of some handmaids?Is this what an emperor said! ?The relationship between the monarch and his ministers will be ruined by you, hey!

"Actually, Your Majesty, I have something that I want to discuss with Your Majesty." Then, he said in a low voice, no longer thinking about it, and in his heart, Valentin, who had poured out his grievance, opened his mouth to get to the point.

"Since I became the chairman of the committee, my mother has been living alone in my hometown. Even though I often hire someone to take care of me, I still can't let go of my heart. In addition, I am getting old and have less and less energy to do things. Therefore, I have thought about it for a long time, and I want to resign and return to my hometown to take care of my mother wholeheartedly, and I ask Your Majesty to allow it."

The "official" thing said is resignation. The interesting reason for resignation is "filial piety", which can be described as a very good cover. "Filial piety" is the most important thing for any ruler in Terra One point that is extremely important, if this point is not done properly, it will definitely be criticized by the world, and the emperor's reputation will be greatly reduced.

"As well as the person to take over the position of minister, I have already thought of several good candidates for His Majesty. Everyone is an outstanding person. If Your Majesty is not satisfied, you can choose by yourself. Everything will be decided by His Majesty."

What's even more interesting is that he clearly stated that he doesn't want anything. This is a rare phenomenon among Ursas officials. Most officials usually ask the most trusted person to receive them in order to leave a back door. Position, this is an unwritten rule in the court of Ursus. Valentin's move can be said to be a rare and honest official style, which is equivalent to the meaning of leaving naked.

Of course, Nicholas is also clear that the resignation of Valentin, who is closely related to the oligarchs, cannot be as simple as respecting "filial piety" and "naked officials" on the surface. Will 'naked officials'?This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world, just like a man who promises that he will never watch pornography, never go to the stove, or have sex with women. Only ghosts believe it.

In Nicholas' perception, Valentin meant to compromise with him. If an emperor wants to defeat the capitalists, the support of the court is indispensable, and how to get the support of the court is the easiest way. The ministers who want to stand in the court are all his own people, and the position of the chairman of the committee, which is second only to the speaker, is indeed very important in the court.

Resigning with filial piety is nothing more than to prevent people from being left behind. It is a reason that sounds quite normal. When the naked official leaves, it is nothing more than hoping that he will let him go, and he will give up the position of chairman of the committee. He only asks the KGB not to investigate any more. For such a powerless person who has resigned from office, Nicholas immediately understood Valentin's intentions just by thinking about it, and an inexplicable smile quietly rose from the corner of his mouth.

To be honest, it is a good deal. The KGB has only just been established, and many things need to be honed. Being the chairman of the Ursas court shows that the foundation of the court must have been firmly established. You can't count on the Royal Law Enforcement Force directly under the jurisdiction of the Board of Auditors except for Augusta. It is really difficult for him to rely on the KGB to get rid of Valentin easily.

The most important thing is that a cautious official like Valentin doesn't hide embezzled money at home like an idiot like An Dongxi. To arrest an official of such a high level as the Chairman, you always have to find some evidence, right?This is not a descendant with serious confidence blockage. The KGB's arrest has caused a stir all over the country. If he does not handle it properly, he will easily become the basis for the oligarchs to build momentum in public opinion.

In addition, Valentin only wants to protect himself, so if Valentin should be dismissed naked, it is a good deal for both him and Valentin. will lose money.

"I do not!"

It is a pity that Nicholas, the most wonderful emperor of Ursas today, is not willing.

"I think you are doing a good job. You are hardworking, brave, upright and kind. You are a virtuous person, and you are thrifty to cultivate your virtue. There is an old saying in Ursus: You respect the virtuous and enable you, and you believe in loyalty and advice. Therefore, you are safe. You are a minister recognized by me. How could I let you go? The position of chairman of this committee is none other than yours, and it is useless for Aiqing to say more~"

Putting down the newspaper in front of Valentin, shaking his head and talking generously, anyway, it is the noun Silian and an ancient proverb, which makes Valentin who is listening, what is the matter with you, the emperor, you don’t follow the routine Play the cards!Why don't you want me to dismiss you for the sake of what I said!And who is that ancient man? He is a Chinese scholar who has never heard of this sentence!

"Your Majesty, I really want to meet my mother. Please give me a chance. Your mother is approaching her old age. I have missed her for a long time. Please allow me!"

So, crying with grief on his face, Valentin covered his sleeves and burst into tears on the spot, holding on to 'filial piety', and Lihua burst into tears like a dumped woman, dripping down and staining her face On the sleeves, in the court, crying is the foundation of the foundation. It can not only exaggerate the atmosphere, but also express the sadness.

From the eyes of Nicholas, it is the same as the island country in his original world. What should I do if I make a mistake as an official?How to deal with the media?Bow, bow, bow!If the waist is broken, he will bow, and then he can do whatever he wants.

There are several uses, and what the common people want is not your apology, but your work!

"It doesn't matter, don't you just want to see your mother? Zhen Yun, you wait, tomorrow I will send your mother a special car from Ursas to Moscow City to enjoy the blessings, to see how uplifting her son is. "

However, Nicholas just refused to agree. Instead, he simply followed Valentin's words and preached with a chuckle. He wanted to bring Valentin's mother to the capital, which was the opposite of what Valentin said.

"Presumably seeing her son work wholeheartedly for the country and the people, she will feel honored to have given birth to this son, right? Don't you think it's better, Valentin?"

Valentin's heart sank when he was listening. He couldn't tell that there was something in Nicholas's words. He was obviously mocking him, mocking him as the chairman of the committee, who wanted to use "filial piety" to resign after bribing a corrupt official. Maybe his mother would have to witness it with his own eyes when he was arrested, so that his mother, a corrupt official, would be ashamed.

Why did he have to resign? Valentin knows that he just wants to withdraw from the struggle between the oligarchs and Nicholas. At present, they are like sheep in a cage. Nicholas is the butcher, and the KGB is the The knife in Nicholas' hand brings out an indefinite number of sheep every day, who knows if he will be the next one, and he will be cut off by Nicholas.

That's why he is afraid now, afraid that Nicholas will not let him go, afraid that Nicholas will insist on chopping him up, and chop him up in front of his mother, trampling everything about him under the law.

At this moment, with dense cold sweat on his forehead, Valentin is already regretting, regretting why he was greedy for money and ruining himself, regretting why he was the first to come out in the court to refute, now that he and Ni Gula became enmity, and the oligarch couldn't keep him, so he had no way out at all.

Only the rebellion can win a chance, but how to rebel, the military power is in the hands of Nicholas, the officer clan has no such leisure at all, and the nobles and oligarchs are enemies who are still watching the outcome of the struggle to get a piece of the pie at any time. It's still a piece of fish in the class, and it's at the mercy of others.

In the end, just like a trash that was disliked by others, his reputation was ruined.

That's it.

"Valentin, are you convicted!?"

Afterwards, Nicholas' solemn and sharp voice resounded in Valentin's ears in an instant, and Valentin, who was in a trance, jumped in fright.

"Do you really think that being an official is so comfortable!? When you are an official, collect money and become an official to get rich. When you lose power, no one will offend you. Life is peaceful. When you are about to die, pack up and leave to stabilize your old age. Your plan is really right. It's better than me!"

And taking a panoramic view of Valentin's flustered posture in an instant, Nicholas walked off the bed and said expressionlessly, and gradually walked to the body of Valentin who was kneeling on one knee, his deep pupils shrunk straight Looking at Valentin's eyes seemed to see through everything he thought, seeping out endless sharpness, and his awe-inspiring body exuded a majestic aura that shrouded the room.

"You think you're only greedy for that money, bullshit! Do you know how much darkness is in that money you're greedy for, nepotism, disrupting the government, turning a blind eye to violations of law and discipline, and you Do you know how many ordinary people have suffered from it? Are you the only one with a mother in this world? Are you the only one who wants to be filial? Can you just live a life with peace of mind!?”

It is the coercion of the emperor, as if carrying the nine states and the whole world, no one can question it. Valentin, who was shivering under the pressure, gradually couldn't breathe. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and unconsciously lowered his head. Even Nicholas They didn't dare to look at each other's eyes.

"Did you go down there and have a look? How many people have lost their future by the connivance of corrupt officials like you! Do you know the underground fighting organization? How many children are born to be trained as thugs and live in dire straits every day Among them? Do you know about the abuse of law enforcement?! So many innocent infected people were killed at will, do you know about this, do you know!?”

Want to say something, but can't say it, want to do something, but don't dare to do anything, all of a sudden, the body and mind are in extreme fear, feeling that it is possible to be decapitated in a second.

"None of them have had a worse life than you, but they should have been like that? This is all the connivance of you bastards! If each of you can perform your duties, how can there be so many ruins in this world?" Things! When you are greedy for money, can you think about their lives? Now that you are about to die, let me cry one by one, where is your human face!"

I was even more ashamed by Nicholas, but it was because of the shame that Valentin could not refute it. I think that when he was an official, he had an ideal of serving the country and the people, but only after one corruption , he never stopped, not to mention the people around him are corrupt, and he can't be a different kind, if he wants to be promoted, he can only give money, and those who don't give money will be excluded.

It turns out that he hates corrupt officials and bribes.

But after experiencing it once, he became the kind of person he hated before, constantly lowering his bottom line for power and money, until he became the dog of the current capitalist.

It's just that Valentin understands that he can't turn back, and it's too late to wake up now.

Under the sun, there is no medicine for regret.

He is not qualified to take this regret medicine.

"...Mr., plead guilty."

After thinking about something further, Valentin kowtowed to his head and said in a deep voice.

"I am corrupt and break the law, accept bribes and offer bribes, and should be executed. I only hope that your majesty will be kind to the guilty minister. Don't let the mother of the minister see the scene of the minister's beheading. The minister is willing to confess all his crimes. I just beg Your Majesty to let the minister's mother go, the minister's mother doesn't know anything, she is just an innocent person, without any criminal record."

He realized that he could not survive, but he still wanted to find a way out for his mother before he died, and he had no other wishes.

To Nicholas, it was ridiculous, really ridiculous.

It's ridiculous to be human in this world.

Human nature is unpredictable to anyone in this world.

Including him too.

"I want to kill you."

Then, looking coldly at Valentin who kowtowed, Nicholas gave a sermon indifferently.

"But the situation prevents me from killing you, get up."

He had figured out Valentin's ending a long time ago, but this ending was not Valentin's death.

As the saying goes, a rabbit will jump over the wall if it is anxious, and it will bite people if it is anxious. If the officials in the court think that they are doomed to die, Nicholas knows that there will inevitably be chaos in the court, and the current Ursus cannot allow it. If this happens, otherwise Tallulah and Victoria Regent will definitely take advantage of it, the revolution of the integration movement will break out early, and the cause of reform will collapse.

He must give Valentin that Valentin and other big bureaucrats can preserve his post-European land. The purpose is nothing more than the real tyrants in history. In the end, the court is in chaos, villains and careerists take advantage of the opportunity, and a country still cannot change the fate of decline.

He needs peace, a peace that can keep the court from being turbulent. The court of Ursas needs a major blood change, but it cannot be replaced with blood, and foreign forces and nobles cannot be given the opportunity to infiltrate. From the beginning to the end, Niguo Ladu knew that his reforms were for the sake of Ursas, and if Valentin and other ministers were killed, only one head would be obtained, which would have no effect at all.

Corrupt officials can never be killed.

What he really needs to do is to ensure how to keep the court of Ursas in a truly efficient operation in the future, and to serve the country, the people and the king wholeheartedly, instead of being corrupt like it is today.

This is what an emperor should do.

A monarch who manages the world must do things.

"I can save your life, and you can return to your hometown to spend your old age in peace."

Then, staring at Valentin who looked up in astonishment with an ice-cold face, Nicholas said.

"But you must complete what I will tell you next."

At the end, he opened his lips and said something, sounding like Vince.

"If you really want to live..."

Upon hearing this, Valentin's pupils immediately widened in disbelief.

...

"Valentin, how is it? Did you tell His Majesty the KGB? You must ask His Majesty to abolish this institution quickly, and enforce the law alongside the power of the Inspectorate. What is it like? If this continues, our Ursas will It's a mess!"

Not long after Valentin left Nicholas' room, as if a scattered individual finally found a backbone, all the ministers surrounded Valentin outside the Ekaterina Palace and asked anxiously , I have already planned to spend time with Nicholas, and I just want to get more information from Valentin.

"Yes, Chairman Valentin, don't hide anything. Tell us everything. After that, we can look after each other and find a way. His Majesty the Emperor is going his own way now. If you don't stop him, something big will happen in the future."

It is precisely because they know that everyone has connections with the oligarchs, so the ministers did not hide it from Valentin and confessed that in today's situation, the ministers are still panicked. Everyone in the KGB is on tenterhooks.

"Don't call me chairman anymore. Now I'm just an ordinary citizen, an ordinary person."

But what greeted was Valentin's indifferent words like lightly waving his hands, which made the ministers who were expecting to hear what Valentin had to say slightly stunned.

"Just now, I asked His Majesty the Emperor to resign, and His Majesty let me go, and did not send me to prison."

That's why all the ministers didn't expect Valentin to speak like this. What the hell is he not an official?The most important thing is that Nikolai didn't cut off Valentin's head. This is because the sun came out from the west, how could it be possible.

"This…"
