Outcome

Prior

Maintaining the stability is the first priority of this country
You decided to reduce taxes first, appeasing the public... It brings you much acclaim, but you know it was because the Sultan had demanded too much.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

Those mobs need to pay for that
You hint in the document that the nobles responsible for tax collection are free to use force to protect themselves... or directly kill those who rebel.

Conditions:

Action:

Regular

You and the Vizier both disdain the mobs
Both of you hint in the document that the nobles responsible for tax collection are free to use force to protect themselves... or directly kill those who rebel.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You remind the Vizier
This might be an excuse for local nobles to strengthen their private armies; rather use a mild strategy to resolve conflicts.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

The Vizier is stubborn.
You speak for a long time, but eventually, the Vizier just sips his tea lightly and make arrangements according to his own wishes. It’s truly incomprehensible why this old crone invites you to help with paperwork, as you two hardly reach any agreements, he seems entirely to enjoy these disputes – and the mastery within the disputes.

Action:

Extra

Die! You mangy old dog!
In the astonished gaze of the Vizier, you see relief, is this the truth behind inviting you to work together? He knows that one day, you will draw a golden Bloodshed Card, and you will use it on the most detestable elder...

Now, he lies peacefully in a pool of blood, leaving all the remnants of this empire, mainly pressure and excrement, to you.

The Sultan, upon hearing the news, chucks lightly – not with carnality's abandon, but with a rare surprise of being freed from trouble.

After this, all governmental documents are handed over to you for review, with no one left to oppose you... he arranges it meaningfully.
