Why did Colin let Vera go back to the Phoenix Palace first?

Because he is guilty.

The proposal for the reform of the Senate he just put forward will indeed greatly weaken the influence of the consuls.

But at the same time, it will also greatly damage the interests of the five paladin families.

Think about it, how embarrassing it would be if any paladin family elder failed to be elected as the consul after the reform was implemented.

This will cause great damage to the prestige of the Paladin family, and the interests of this family in the Senate will also not be guaranteed.

Therefore, Colin is worried that this proposal will arouse Vera's opposition. After all, Vera is about to become the Duke of the North, and she will inevitably consider the issue from the standpoint of the Saint Hilde family.

Of course, Colin is sure to convince Vera, because in the current situation, Sebas, the consul, is for the Saint Hilde family, or more precisely for Vera and Colin, A hindrance rather than a help.

It's just that more things are worse than less things, and Colin doesn't want to offend the other paladin families because of this.

"Lord Prime Minister, this proposal is a gift from me. The only requirement is that you don't mention my name when you bring it to the Imperial Council."

"Oh? Are you sure?" Baron Heidegger's face became more interesting, "I have 90% confidence that I can push this proposal to pass, this is a perfect opportunity to change the political situation of the empire, and even change history!

Viscount Angele, are you willing to surrender such a famous opportunity to me? "

Ke Lin said indifferently: "It's just a fake name, I don't care. As long as the political situation of the empire can be improved, then I will be satisfied."

Baron Heidegger smiled thoughtfully, and seemed to see through Colin's thoughts, but he didn't care.

For him, this reform proposal was an excellent opportunity to weaken the influence of the Senate.

Even if not to mention his personal grievances with the Senate, from the political standpoint of the Prime Minister of the Empire, Baron Heidegger hopes to be less restrained by the Senate.

As for offending the Paladin family, Baron Heidegger doesn't care even more.

His power and status came from the emperor, and it didn't really matter how the four dukes felt about him.

Moreover, Baron Heidegger is sure that His Majesty the Emperor will support this reform proposal. After all, the Senate was originally established to limit the imperial power, and the Emperor may be eager to abolish it completely.

"Your Majesty, I admire your high-spiritedness!

If that's the case, then I'm welcome. I will send this reform proposal to the Imperial Council for discussion as soon as possible, and I am sure His Majesty the Emperor will be very interested in it.

However, I am also a little uneasy about taking your wisdom as my own. If you have any needs, you can take this opportunity to ask and I will do my best to help. "

Colin's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, you must also know that the northern border has just experienced two turmoils, people's livelihood has been deteriorating, and famine is raging. If the central government of the Empire can support some food, then I will be grateful!"

When Baron Heidegger heard the words, his brows furrowed tightly. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and sighed: "Your Excellency Viscount, this request may be a little difficult to handle.

It's not that I don't want to help you, there is indeed some grain in the imperial treasury, but this batch of grain has already been used by His Majesty, so..."

Ke Lin moved in his heart and asked, "Could it be that you are preparing to give it to the Western Territory?"

"Yes." Baron Heidegger nodded, and when he saw Colin's expression calm, he explained, "Your Excellency Viscount, with all due respect, the Western Region needs this batch of food more. , without this batch of food support, I am afraid there will be a big problem.

Although there is a food crisis in the north, the rebellion has been settled after all, and I also know that you seem to be prepared. Although the food of the half-elf kingdom cannot fully meet the needs of the north, it can temporarily relieve the urgent need. "

Colin was silent.

He knew that the Emperor chose to support the West rather than the North. Perhaps the fact that the West was fighting with the orcs was a factor, but more importantly, it was because of the Paladin Duke of St. Grian.

His existence makes the Western Border more valuable.

Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor, putting Vera on the throne and then sending Prince Harrison to Colin as a student would be the greatest win.

"Okay, I can understand your embarrassment." Colin smiled, "However, you also know that buying food from half-elves requires a lot of money, and the current financial situation of the Saint Hilde family is extremely difficult, so the Empire Can the central government exempt some of the taxes in the north?"

Baron Heidegger hesitated: "I can help you to mention it at the imperial meeting, but whether it can be successful, or how much relief can be obtained, it depends on your majesty's intention."

"Thank you for your trouble!" Colin couldn't force it any more, he could only express his gratitude.

Baron Heidegger thought for a while and suddenly suggested: "Your Excellency Viscount, if you want to get more tax relief, I have a solution."

"Please speak."

Baron Heidegger lowered his voice and said, "You can enter the Eastern Territory."

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately understood what Baron Heidegger meant.

In fact, this was the real reason for the Northern Territory that Emperor Reinhardt had drawn over.

The Eastern Territory has completely fallen to the church, which has already become a thorn in the eye of Reinhard the Great. If Colin can lead his army to cross the Furious River, or even capture Bailu City, the emperor will agree without hesitation how much support the Northern Territory needs. .

But unfortunately, Ke Lin did not want to be the murderer in the hands of the emperor.

What's more, with the current situation in the northern border, it simply cannot stand another war. If we force a war with the eastern border, I am afraid that there will be a human tragedy in the northern border.

"I will consider it." Colin said lightly.

Baron Heidegger seemed to see Colin's perfunctory intentions, and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to really start a war, as long as you make a move to enter the East, then I can help the North at the imperial meeting. speak."

Colin rubbed his chin, and the name of a city suddenly appeared in his mind - Clover City.

Perhaps, without any precautions in the eastern border, troops could suddenly be dispatched to occupy Clover City.

Alfalfa City does not have a city defense army, and by surprise, it can be captured without dispatching a large army, but at the same time, the geographical location of this city is destined to be extremely sensitive, which can easily lead to a confrontation between the two borders.

Colin can also use this to "show loyalty" to the royal family and "pull funding" by the way.

"Okay, I'll consider it." Colin said the same thing, but his expression was much more cautious.

Baron Heidegger also saw that Colin was not perfunctory this time, so he smiled and said no more.

Then the two chatted for a while, and Colin got up and said goodbye.

Baron Heidegger sent Colin to the door, and suddenly said with a smile: "Your Excellency Viscount, you really helped me a lot this time. As a personal thank you, I also want to give you a gift."

Colin's expression changed, and he said with a smile, "I don't know what gift it is?"

Baron Heidegger said mysteriously: "When you return to the North, if you have time, you might as well take a detour and go to Winter Spring Town. You may have unexpected results."

Colin frowned, but seeing that the Prime Minister didn't plan to elaborate, he didn't ask any more questions, and he said goodbye and left.
