Turin love story

"As a human being, you have to fight for your breath. Prime Minister, sovereignty and the people are always more important than the economy. If the money is gone, you can earn it again, but if your dignity is gone, what face do you have to live in the world?"

There was no sound in the conference room, and He Yuanzheng's words completely entered the hearts of General Lu and the others.

Their duty is to guard the people, but every decision made by the cabinet makes them back down, and Turin's military has been completely reduced to a show, which made the generals of the military council suffocate for several years.

Even if He Yuanzheng didn't get to know them thoroughly before, after listening to his words, they would still tilt their hearts toward him.

He Yuanzheng looked around and saw everyone's expressions, including excitement and joy, as well as guilt and resentment.But no matter which side these people are on, they can't hinder his plan to bring Gavin down today.

Gai Wen, who was severely slapped in the face by the emperor, couldn't swallow his breath, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, I have reservations about what you said. Times are changing, and history is constantly advancing. I don't deny that sovereignty is We won it on our own. But, Your Majesty, have you considered that a hundred years ago, or in the past 50 years, the global economy has never been so highly integrated. Conflict is inevitable. As Prime Minister, I dare not gamble with the future of the country."

"The general trend?" He Yuanzheng was noncommittal, just repeated the word in an unclear manner, and then said, "Let General Lu finish the report, Prime Minister, time is limited. In fact, I didn't want to interrupt, but since you asked, I have to give an answer, don't I?"

Gai Wen was originally in a state of confusion, but He Yuanzheng gave in suddenly, and he couldn't say anything more, so he could only hold back the rest of the words abruptly.

He Yuanzheng nodded to the land general indifferently: "Go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The report is not long, but the amount of information is enormous.Counting the various mistakes and taboos committed by the cabinet in the military committee over the past few years, it is not just Gavin who is targeted, but the power of the entire cabinet.

At this point in the meeting, He Yuanzheng's purpose was clearly revealed. Gai Wen didn't expect that he would be so bold, hibernating for so long, and wanting to take the Constitution as soon as he showed up.

The next words of General Lu also confirmed his thoughts——

"In view of the cabinet's negative response to the issue of Turin's sovereignty for many times, hereby, on behalf of the Turin Air Force, I apply to amend the Constitution and return the supreme command of the Military Council to the royal family."

Capitol, Pantry.

The tense atmosphere in the conference room spread to the surroundings. The male servant in charge of serving tea peeped through the crack of the door. The group of people standing at the pinnacle of imperial power were confronting each other with swords drawn. The room seemed to be filled with invisible gunpowder smoke. , so that he did not dare to vent his anger.

He took a step back, nudged his companion lightly with his elbow, and whispered, "Jerry..."

Jerry, who was checking the temperature of the kettle, gave a soft "huh".

"Can you hear what your majesty is saying?"

Jerry paused, then shook his head.

The attendant sighed and complained: "We are too far away, otherwise we would know what the hell His Majesty and the Prime Minister are arguing about..." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately covered his mouth, looked around in surprise, and found that I was relieved that there was no special patrol.

The attendant said again: "It should be time to add water later, Lord Lynch will come to inform us, right?"

Jerry still simply responded, with a look of cherishing words like gold.

"Actually, this is the first time I've seen His Majesty the Emperor. He looks much better than on TV, but I always feel a little fierce..." He touched his forehead and sighed, "I've seen him too. I'm not a big shot, but today, you see, I'm so nervous, I'm sweating all over my forehead... Huh? Jerry, why are you so calm?"

Compared to him, Jerry seemed abnormally calm, not to mention sweating, and even his breathing rate didn't change.

He reached out to touch Jerry's forehead, but just as he raised his arm, he was stopped by the other party and refused to let him touch it: "Stop making trouble, Mr. Lynch is here." Jerry's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was recovering from a cold.

The attendant immediately stood up and turned to say hello to Lynch.

Lynch nodded, "Is the coffee Your Majesty wants ready?"

Jerry answered, "Yes, Lord Lynch, everything is ready."

"Yeah." Lynch looked at his watch and said to the two, "Go get some tea in five minutes."

Five kilometers away, in a certain basement.

"Did you find anything unusual?"

"No, my lord, the security check shows that everything is normal."

Shelley was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "Impossible, He Yuanzheng has waited for so long just for today...the current calm is not his style. How long have they been meeting?"

"It's been an hour."

Shelley thought for a while and said, "Give me the list of attendants on duty today."

After 10 minutes, Shelley got the list and checked them one by one.

She glanced at the monitoring screen again, and there were dozens of small pictures cut in squares, aiming at the gates of ordinary houses, as well as pedestrians coming and going.

Suddenly, a door on a small screen opened, and a black-haired man with messy hair walked out, carrying a bag of garbage and putting it at the door.

Shelley held her breath, pressed the pause button abruptly to zoom in, then opened the list brought by her subordinates, her eyes fixed on a photo.

She compared the surveillance images with the photos back and forth in amazement, and suddenly stood up and shouted: "Lookman, hurry up, inform Gavin! Tell him not to hold any more meetings. This attendant named Jerry didn't leave the house at all. He is going to Congress today." He is not the one who works in the building!"

House of Parliament.

5 minutes passed quickly.

Jerry looked at his nervous companion, and took the initiative to pick up the cup of coffee and put it on the cart. The metal spoon made a crisp and pleasant sound when it touched the porcelain.

"I'll give the coffee to His Majesty later, and you go to the Prime Minister."

"You really saved me, brother, thank you..." The attendant sweated, he didn't know why he was so nervous today, and his heart rate was much faster than before.

Jerry straightened his tie, coughed lightly, and signaled his companions to follow.

In the meeting room, Gavin looked furious, and said righteously with his face flushed: "This is clearly a retrogression of the times! Turin is by no means a country ruled by dictatorship, and the people never need a dictatorship. monarch!"

They didn't hear clearly in the tea room, and when they approached, the attendants were frightened by this sentence, and even paused for a moment, before they pretended not to hear anything and refilled the tea for the generals.

Jerry put the coffee cup in front of the emperor without squinting. He Yuanzheng didn't see the slightest sign of being targeted. He calmly picked up the spoon and stirred it in the coffee cup. spoon.

He touched the handle of the spoon and turned it around a few times before putting it back, and then slowly said to Gavin: "Be calm, Prime Minister, sit down and talk slowly. Before you accuse me, you should reflect on yourself, why did you talk to foreigners? Does the consortium have very close connections?"

He reached out and pressed Gavin's shoulder again, and forced him to sit down.

The word "consortium" made Gai Wen's eyes widen. His expression was unbelievable for a moment. He pointed at He Yuanzheng and said, "You..."

However, as soon as he uttered a word, he foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground convulsively, as if he had an epileptic seizure.

He Yuanzheng retreated a few steps like hiding from the plague, and calmly pinned the metal needle tube in his hand into his sleeve, wondering, "What's wrong?"

Gavin was so suppressed that his whole body turned purple, he rolled his eyes and couldn't say a word, Lynch had already gone out to inform the doctor, Gavin's secretary Burns' face changed, he rushed forward and pinched his jaw again, The entire meeting room suddenly exploded into chaos.

He Yuanzheng has returned to normal, and scolded Burns: "I'm asking you, what's wrong with the Prime Minister? How long has he been like this, and he can still lead the cabinet when he is so ill?!"

"I don't know, Your Majesty, I don't know..." Burns was completely out of the situation. Although Gavin was indeed ill recently, he had never had such a terrible illness.

He Yuanzheng asked back, "You don't know?"

"No, no, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" Although Burns had never worked under the emperor, he knew his temper very well, and immediately remedied him, "I mean, the Prime Minister has never been like this, and I have never done anything like this before. I don't know what's going on!"

Fortunately, the doctors and nurses had already trotted into the meeting room, and the generals' discussions were a little quieter. After working for a while, the doctors whispered to each other and carried the unconscious prime minister out.

He Yuanzheng watched them leave, sat down again, and shook his head in disbelief, as if expressing emotion.

The generals looked at each other, not knowing whether to sit or stand.

But after a while, He Yuanzheng said: "Although the Prime Minister is not here, the meeting must continue."

He directly picked up the storage device Lynch gave him and placed it on the conference table, only to see that the mid-air projection turned into an encrypted file with Gavin's name written on it.

"Vote slowly," He Yuanzheng said, "Now, let's talk about the prime minister's treason."
