Chapter 370 Angry Purficott
"Impeach me? What on earth did they think, and how dare they do it?" Purficott couldn't help but feel dumbfounded when he heard the news.
She is doing her best to save the world, but there are still people who are restricting her at this time. This is so irritating and funny, and makes her want to just give up.
Because it made her feel that these people were not worth saving at all.
Although these people don't actually know that she is saving the world, and their impeachment is just human nature.
There are indeed many people among them who are truly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but Purficott just feels worthless for himself and wants to give up his career.
"In this matter, the noble council does bear an unshirkable responsibility. I only apologize to you on behalf of the noble council." The Duke of Gloucester did not dare to neglect this matter in the slightest. First, Shiji came to see Purficott in person and expressed his apology to her.
After all, he is the Speaker, and he needs to bear a considerable degree of responsibility for the problems of the Noble Council.
In fact, if the Duke of Gloucester could restrain the members of the Noble Parliament well, they would have no chance of proposing this motion, let alone impeaching Purficott.
But whether the Duke of Gloucester was negligent or he did it intentionally, the motion to restrict Perfectcott's power and impeach her was still proposed, and it was openly placed in the hands of the nobles. Discussed at regular meetings of Parliament.
Although the Duke of Gloucester blocked the bill immediately, he only blocked the impeachment of Perfectcott. The bill to limit her power still entered the discussion process, and the noble Parliament also sent Purfict a letter asking her to attend a hearing to be questioned.
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and irritate Purfict, the Duke of Gloucester came in person in the first place to apologize and explain the reasons to Purfict.
"If an apology is useful, what else do you need the police for?" Purficott waved her hands as if she didn't care, but people who are familiar with her will know that she was already very angry at this time. .
The Duke of Gloucester is not a fool, and he can naturally feel the bad and bad mood of Perfectcott.
But he had to endure the anger that Perficott might burst out, and begged her: "Earl Brandlis, before the empire announces the doomsday disaster, please put the overall situation first. !
This time the House of Lords’ inquiry was indeed our fault. On behalf of the entire House of Lords, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you again!
But please be sure to attend this hearing, which will also help stabilize the current situation in the empire. After all, the death of Prince Edward and the legacy he left you have had a great impact on the empire. ”
The Duke of Gloucester has lowered his stance as much as possible, hoping not to offend Perfectcourt in order to avoid intensifying the situation.
Even he can It can be described as groveling, and he has always used honorifics to address Purficott, which was unimaginable before.
"What does this have to do with me?" "But Purficott's attitude became more and more bad, and her current state could even be described as aggressive: "Those damn guys have been against me before, and I haven't settled this account with them yet!
Now they are holding me back again. I really doubt their purpose and motivation, whether they are really for the good of the empire!
If they cannot effectively fulfill their obligations and functions as imperial nobles, I don't mind replacing them all! I think Her Majesty the Queen and the eldest princess will also support my idea. ”
When the Duke of Gloucester heard this, his face was as ugly as a bitter gourd, but even so, he had to continue to comfort Perfectcott’s emotions.
Because he knew clearly , Purficott is not talking about it, but she really has the ability to directly replace all the people in the noble council who are dissatisfied with her.
And at this point, whether it is the queen or the queen. The eldest princess will not oppose her decision.
After all, Purficott is now the most important person to the empire. Without her to preside over a series of plans in the north and continue to develop various technological equipment to deal with the extreme cold apocalypse, the empire's various measures to deal with the apocalypse will be very difficult. Not to mention a shutdown, at least it will seriously delay the construction period, and may even fail to complete the project or fail to achieve the expected results.
In this case, it is no exaggeration to say that the importance of Perficott is much higher than that of a group of aristocratic councilors who are eating nothing.
To put it harshly, the members of the Noble Council are like leeks in the field. They can grow again after being cut.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged nobles are everywhere in Langton.
Even if it is a bit extreme, if Purficott really uses force to solve the problem and kills all the members of the Noble Council, he can still find people who are bold enough not to be afraid of death to fill the Noble Council the next day. All seats.
Under such circumstances, the Duke of Gloucester was really afraid of Purficott's bloodbath in the Parliament of Nobles.
But it is obvious that this provocative behavior of the Noble Council has undoubtedly angered Purficott, and she wants revenge.
The last time she warned the noble council, she was ridiculed, "What do women know?" She was just an ordinary noble girl who had not inherited the family title. There was really nothing she could do against these noble councilors.
But this time, she is already the pioneering earl of the northern border of the empire and the successor of Prince Edward, with powerful power and force in her hands.
If she is still insulted by this group of noble councilors and cannot take revenge, wouldn’t the power and force in her hands become just a decoration?
You ridiculed me before I took power, and you still bully me after I take power? Didn’t I gain power in vain?
Perfect's thoughts at this time were very unreasonable, so she said to the Duke of Gloucester: "Your Majesty, you want me to forgive these members, and you want me to put the overall situation first. I can understand you. Motives and positions.
But why don’t you try to persuade them to put the overall situation first? Do you think I am so easy to bully? What did your noble council do to disrespect me so much? Just because I am a woman and underage? If so, I don't mind using an impressive enough incident to make the noble council remember to provoke me. The price. "
After finishing speaking, Purficott directly served the tea to see off the guests.
Although the Duke of Gloucester wanted to say something more, Befa, a puppet maid next to Purfict, obviously would not listen to his explanation, and directly "invited" the Duke of Gloucester out of Purfict. The manor where you stayed.
This manor is also one of the legacies left to Perfectcott by Prince Edward. It is the manor where she and Prince Edward met before.
Now, this manor is her property.
Although in one or two years, all of this will be buried by ice and snow, but for Purficott, she doesn’t mind continuing to enjoy these futures before the end of ice and snow comes. A luxury that can no longer be enjoyed.
This manor is where Prince Edward has spent his retirement for the past ten years. In addition to the exterior space of the entire manor being quite carefully designed and arranged, the interior of the manor is also as realistic as possible. Luxury meets comfort. From this point of view, Purficott's Lord's Mansion has a bit of the temperament of the nouveau riche.
Although the Lord's Mansion is also well built, many of the decorations are superficial, or there is not enough precipitation and accumulation.
This is not to say that the Brandless family does not have enough accumulation, but there must be a huge gap between a prince and a baron in terms of enjoyment.
Even if Purficott becomes an earl and a lord of the north, limited by the economic level of the north, it will be difficult for her to compare with the luxury of the empire.
So this also brought about the gap in luxury and enjoyment between her lord's mansion and the manor left by the old prince.
Purficott herself didn't particularly care about these gaps, but when she lived in a manor that a prince used for retirement and carefully decorated it, the contrast brought about by this huge gap still made Purficott I feel that I am far behind others in terms of enjoyment.
The luxury enjoyment brought by this status, power and wealth is actually very attractive to Purficott.
She is not a person who pursues luxury and enjoyment, but as a time traveler, Purficott is actually not very adaptable to the life of this era.
This is mainly due to the huge difference in living standards and the technological gap caused by the gap between the times.
After all, you can’t make a person in the 18th century understand what the information age is, let alone teach him how modern people live and entertain.
Let alone the eighteenth century, there is a huge gap that can be called a generational gap between the 20th century and the 21st century.
So for Purficott, she is really not adapted to the life of this era.
Fortunately, she is still a noble. Although she is not used to her life, at least she has enough food and clothing and does not have to work hard for her daily livelihood.
If he had traveled through time and become an ordinary civilian of this era, I am afraid that Purficott would still be worried about how to fill his stomach at this moment.
This kind of discomfort is the same even after she becomes the Northern Lord. Although the luxurious life has made up for the huge gap between her current life and the life in the original world to a certain extent, this gap remains the same. It exists.
It's just that after so many years of adapting, Purficott has gradually gotten used to some problems and no longer feels so awkward.
However, during the time she lived in the old prince's manor, she found that the living conveniences she could obtain in many aspects were actually comparable to those in the original world. This made her feel surprised and thought. To feel more.
After all, it had been a long time since she had experienced the convenience of modern life brought by the high technologies in the original world.
In fact, she can also achieve these conveniences in the north, but it will cost a relatively huge price.
No matter in any era, as long as you have money, you can always solve many problems.
Especially for those skilled craftsmen, as long as they can afford the wages, they can always use all kinds of whimsical ideas to realize those incredible-sounding functions under limited conditions.
For example, there is a watchmaker who uses precise gears to realize the function of using a puppet to draw pictures. Even Purficott has to admit that this talent and sophisticated design are amazing.
When she first saw this in the old prince's manor, she was surprised.
Because even she would have a hard time making a robot with a complicated structure paint with both hands just like a human being by simply using gears.
The mechanical design and parts processing precision involved in this process have completely surpassed this era in a sense.
So as long as Purficott is willing, she can experience a convenient life that is almost the same as in the original world in this era.
Of course, the premise is that she is willing.
In fact, Purficott was not willing to give up.
Although she makes money, most of it was spent on research and experiments before. She actually has no savings.
After arriving in the North, although she had a huge amount of wealth in her hands, Purficott did not use the money to improve her living conditions.
She invested more of the money in plans for the North, hoping to achieve better results.
As for when she became the Lord of the North and built the Lord's Mansion in Chernobog, she did not deliberately pursue enjoyment, but just left everything to professionals.
So although the Northern Lord's Mansion we finally got was luxurious and comfortable, after all, the convenience of life was only the general standard of this era.
There is indeed a huge gap between the old prince's manor, which took decades to carefully polish and design, and finally achieved comfortable living.
Naturally, Purficott hopes that he can enjoy two more days and enjoy the modern and convenient life that he has not seen for a long time.
Of course, even the conveniences that the old prince's manor can bring are only part of it, and it cannot completely allow Perficott to experience a living standard that is almost the same as the convenient life in the original world.
But even so, this was enough to comfort Purficott.
However, this is actually one of the main reasons for Purficott's anger this time. After all, no one wants to be suddenly told to work overtime when they are busy and want to take a break, and it's because of a group of people who Just offend your co-workers and cause you trouble again.
With this understanding, Purficott naturally wanted to teach the noble council an impressive lesson.
At this point, Purficott has enough experience and means to allow the corpses of the Noble Council to experience what it would be like to anger a top alchemist and a great noble of the empire. Such consequences.
