Wander!blue star

As soon as these words came out, before Horus could say anything, Malcador's eyes suddenly lit up next to him.

Take my place?Is it true?

He opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the emperor, thinking that there was such a good thing. Did Neos still have his conscience?
If Horus had the idea of ​​replacing him as the regent of the empire, his old horse would definitely help him, and he would be the first to stand up and support him, and he would not put any obstacles in Horus' way.

Malcador stared directly at Horus's back.

He prayed to Horus for help.

Being an imperial regent sounds like one person is superior to others, but it is actually not a good job.

Although the position is revered, there is an emperor above him.

Macado has been the regent of the empire for so many years, and he has never been arrogant or licentious for a day, because he must first satisfy the emperor, and secondly, he can consider his own affairs.

How to satisfy the emperor?
If he is not expected to keep the empire in good health, he must at least handle all the government affairs documents of the empire.

This one thing alone consumed all his time. He has not finished it yet.

The territory of the empire is so large that Terra, the capital, receives countless documents from various planets every day.

The documents that need to be handled by the Imperial Regent have all been screened by the middle and lower-level government affairs departments. Every important document needs to be reviewed by the Imperial Regent in person.

Malcador was extremely talented in psychic abilities and used many methods that were close to cheating to process these files.

In the end, he was just barely able to read these documents and was unable to approve them one by one. As a result, many planetary governors felt like they were lost in the ocean after sending the documents to Terra.

In the position of imperial regent, Malcador has long been exhausted.

With an emperor on top of his head, he could not be a traditional corrupt official. He could only work hard day and night for the empire. If he had not been in good health, he would have died long ago!

Malcador kept looking at Horus's back and sensing Horus's emotional fluctuations from the subspace.

When the Emperor first made the suggestion, Horus was greatly shocked, and Malcador could feel that Horus was very shaken in his heart.

But as time passed, Horus's mood became more and more stable, accompanied by a strong sense of disappointment. It seemed that he was moved by the emperor's words and no longer intended to take over as regent of the empire.

do not!

"My political ability is far inferior to that of Horus, and I am willing to abdicate in favor of others!"

Malcador thought that if he didn't push him, Horus would most likely not be the regent of the empire, so he said loudly, "I feel that I have not made any contribution to the empire since I became the regent of the empire, unlike Horus. That will open up territory for the empire, so I ask you to appoint Horus as the new regent of the empire!"

Horus was stunned. He turned to look at Malcador, and met Malcador's fiery eyes.

He froze for a moment.

The imperial regent is such a noble position, yet Malcador actually offered to give it to him. Could it be that he had misunderstood Malcador all along?

Is Malcador actually a good person?
"Your Majesty!" Malcador looked up at the Emperor, "I would like to resign as the Imperial Regent, and at the same time recommend Horus, who is superior to me in loyalty, image, and strength, to replace me!"

The eyes of Malcador and the Emperor met in mid-air, almost causing sparks to appear.

Emperor: Why are you joining in the fun?
Macado: I quit!

Emperor: Go ahead and play, don't make any trouble for me.

Feeling Malcador's blazing gaze, the Emperor felt a little helpless in his heart, but he remained calm and even used Malcador's words to ask Horus: "Horus, are you willing?" He paused. After a moment, he continued: "Makado recommended you to be the regent of the empire. Are you willing to stay in Terra with your Shadow Moon Wolf and become the center of the empire's government affairs?"

As far as he was concerned, it didn't matter if Horus really agreed.

He only needed to prevent Horus from betraying him. As for what Horus was doing in the empire, it was an irrelevant matter.

The Great Crusade was almost over, and there weren't many battles to fight.

Even if he suddenly encountered some tough problem, he needed Horus to leave Terra and lead the troops to fight. If he issued an order, would Horus refuse him?
It just so happened that he was leaving the empire temporarily, and Malcador didn't want to do it anymore.

If Horus is willing to be the regent of the empire, fine, he can let Horus be the regent of the empire, and then assign the Wolves of the Moon under Horus to various important government positions.

If Horus can really do a good job, this time it can be regarded as finding a political genius for the empire who can replace Malcador.

Although he hasn't seen this trait in Horus yet.

If Horus didn't do well, after this setback, Horus should realize the importance of those mortal bureaucrats.

While mortals are fond of corruption, the empire is truly built on their hard work.

In addition, in the past, corruption was rampant within the empire because transportation was inconvenient and the empire's supervision could not reach various planets in real time.

For some planets so far away from Terra, the Inquisitors may not even visit for hundreds of years.

But when the stargate system is completed, the empire's prosecutors can travel to several planets in one day. Mortals will have to be careful if they want to commit corruption.

"I" Horus was moved.

Horus had already heard the Emperor's warning and gave up the idea of ​​meddling in mortal government affairs, but Malcador's words aroused his imagination again.

Imperial Regent, a better position than Warmaster.

The Imperial Regent manages the recruitment and delivery of supplies to the army, and even the Warmaster is subject to the Imperial Regent.

"I do." Horus made up his mind and said with a serious face, "Father, the Great Crusade is coming to an end. Whether I serve as war commander or not will have little impact on the empire. I want to take charge of the empire's government affairs and serve you better. Share the worries!"

Malcador, standing behind Horus, looked ecstatic. At this moment, his expression management was completely offline, and his unrestrained smile distorted his entire old face.

Hahaha!
Hahahahaha!
Malcador was laughing wildly in his heart. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have stepped forward and given Horus a hug.

He gave a thumbs up to Horus' back.

OK!Well done!

"Are you sure?" the emperor asked expressionlessly, "The empire's political issues are very complicated and Malcador has not been able to handle them well after so many years in office. Do you swear that you will take charge of them for me?"

"Yes, I swear!" Horus gritted his teeth and said, "I will solve all the problems I see and present you with a better empire!"

The Emperor looked beyond Horus to Malcador.

Lao Ma smiled like he was performing facial arts.

The emperor took a deep breath: "In that case, fine."

"Horus, from now on, you are the new regent of the empire. Notices of canonization will be sent to all parts of the empire today, and the official canonization ceremony will be held on the first of next month." (End of this chapter)
