Doomsday Code

Chapter 185 Cleaning

In the meeting hall of the Executive Council, after a month of haggling between the two sides, a balance point was finally found.

During this month, the entire capital was in turmoil, and what all parties were most concerned about was not how much profit they could make from the disaster relief work after the beast tide.

During this month, ever since the head of the Criminal Division handed in the first list of names of those involved in the trafficking of the elf Miss Emile, a massive purge was launched in the capital.

Baron William, who was imprisoned in the royal prison, would never have thought that because of him, three marquises and several important ministers would be imprisoned in the kingdom within a month.

In this purge, it can be said that all parties suffered heavy losses, especially the interest group headed by the eldest prince Jinmu.

Among the three marquises imprisoned this time, two were his supporters.

After this purge, all parties entered a cooling-off period.

After waiting for all parties to review the situation, he suddenly discovered that among all the princes who could compete for that position, only Huidun had not suffered any losses in the purge.

Of course, this does not mean that Moss XIII favors Huidun, but because Huidun does not have his own power in the upper echelons of the kingdom. Therefore, no matter how much purge there is, as long as Princess Phipsa is not deposed, he will suffer no loss.

It was also after the review of this purge that many people discovered that there seemed to be a prince named Huidun.

"After careful investigations by many parties, the disaster area affected by the beast tide this time is as wide as 500 miles. The worst-hit areas are Huidun Territory and Kailan City. These two cities can be allocated disaster relief funds according to the level of the beast tide disaster. The rest of the places will be allocated financial funds according to the level of level three to level two."

"If there are no objections to the above, let's start the vote by raising hands."

As Holmes finished speaking, representatives from various departments raised their hands to express their approval.

After all, everyone knew within this month that the knife of Moss XIII was still very sharp. Since he had shown them the way, they, as his subjects, had to be ungrateful. After all, Huidun was still his child.

Holmes looked at everyone and announced the decision.

"Very good then, this resolution is passed unanimously."

"Then let's move on to the next topic. The case of the elf Emil's kidnapping and trafficking has now been proven to be irrefutable. The Executive Council will hold the Supreme Court Trial in three days to hear and judge the case."

"Meeting dismissed."

Holmes took off his reading glasses engraved with the Stowe family trademark. He had an extremely painful time during this month.

Moss XIII was about to take action, and those people did not dare to complain to him, but he, the always wavering prime minister, became their target.

During this purge, one of his people was among the important officials who were imprisoned. That person actually had little connection with this case, but he recommended an official many years ago, and that official was on the first list, so he was implicated.

In fact, if it were normal times, Holmes could still get him out, because he was not involved in the case after all.

But now the treasurer and other princes who were unable to extricate themselves from the matter blamed him. They worked together, and no matter how powerful he was as the prime minister, he could not protect this minister.

Of course, it is not the case that the minister would die because of this. At most, he would be dismissed from his post because of his inability to judge people.

Holmes didn't look at these people. Just when they attacked his people, he realized that he, Holmes, had not been the prime minister for decades in vain.

Homeis would not let any of these guys, especially the three marquises, go.

Looking at Holmes's departing back, this time all the people from all parties showed no good face to him. This purge can be said to have cut off their aorta, and now the princes behind them can be said to be almost going crazy.

After so many years of fighting and bribing, all of a sudden, everything went back to the way it was before.

Inside the palace hall, Moss XIII put aside the minutes of the meeting submitted by Holmes. He had been in a very good mood recently, and those sneaky claws had been cut off by him this time.

Of course, all the blame was borne by the old man in front of him.

"Homuyis, you said you have been the prime minister for so many years, but my little bastards are really blind. I heard that they seemed to want to take revenge on you and dragged one of your men into it.

I'm just curious, just curious, how will you, as the prime minister, fight back against them?

Forget it, don't tell me, give me some anticipation. Just do it, as long as it doesn't harm their lives, I won't care."

"I am terrified."

Holmes still crawled on the ground in a panic.

"Oh, this is just a friendly conversation between the emperor and his subjects, don't make a big deal out of it.

And remember, you are the prime minister appointed by the king himself. You are second only to the king in the kingdom, and a prime minister also needs to have his own prestige.

And I'm just saying that as a father, just don't kill them."

"Okay, I don't have anything else to do here, just kneel down and greet me."

Moss XIII stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust on his body and said.

"Yes, I will retire."

Holmes cautiously took a few steps back, then turned around and strode out of the hall.

Looking at Holmes's leaving back, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, what he just said was not a threat or anything. He was just reminding Homeis where the limit of his revenge was.

Because as he said, Homeis was the prime minister, and almost all matters big and small in the entire kingdom were handled by him, but the final decision on major matters required him, the king.

And if a prime minister has no prestige and can be slapped in the face by a few princes who don't even have formal titles, how can he lead the Consulate in the future?

So when Jinmu and his men dealt with Homeis and took their anger out on him, they were actually slapping him in the face as the king in disguise.

If he had not made this reminder today, it would not be long before his desk would appear with reports of certain princes or earls committing certain crimes in their fiefdoms, and in the end there would be conclusive evidence to bring them to justice to set things right.

At that time, he, the king who loved fame the most, would uphold the law, be the upright king, kill his own son, and then bear the reputation of a filicide.

Or it could be that he favors a certain prince and gives him a lenient sentence, and then is branded as a fool.

At that time, it would be difficult for him as the king and Homius as the prime minister to get along.

And he had no intention of replacing Prime Minister Homius for the time being.

After leaving the hall, Holmes looked back and a tear mark appeared on his old face.

He also understood the meaning of Moss XIII's words, which also showed that Moss XIII still wanted to maintain the relationship between the monarch and his subjects and did not do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it had done its work.
