63. The Imperial System

Although he already had some preliminary ideas in his heart, Sun Fei did not immediately start to make drastic changes to the current power structure and military structure of Chambord City, he had only been in this world for three days, and there were too many things that he didn't understand.

Sun Fei plans to take a good look at the current situation of the kingdom in the next few days.

The meeting continued.

This scene is not like the majestic and dull scene of the emperor in many ancient dynasty TV dramas in the previous life, on the contrary, the atmosphere in the council hall is very lively, under the high throne, there is a small narrow stone ditch on the ground flowing with artificially drawn water, there are even beautiful fish swimming back and forth in the stone ditch, and on both sides are neat stone chairs, the top of the stone chairs are covered with soft animal skins, and the people who participate in the meeting sit comfortably on the stone chairs and talk freely, everyone has the opportunity and power to express their opinions, and they can stand up and express their opinions without the consent of the kingdom, and even quarrel at any time because of the opposite point of view。

A subtle atmosphere of embryonic democracy or freedom spread silently throughout the basilica.

Since today was the first time that Alexander had officially convened a post-war conference as a king after he had recovered his normal intelligence, many people of a slight position in Chambord City were given the opportunity to attend the meeting, and in addition to Brooke, the twenty-two warriors such as Pierce, Drogba, and Barak were also given official seats. These Chambord City big and small 'leaders' spoke freely, but they really put forward a lot of very pertinent suggestions, some of the guys who had been prepared for a long time had even written a large amount of text on the white silk cloth and the animal skin made of nitrate made of paper, especially the five or six white-bearded old men who were recognized as highly respected in Chambord City, took out a large pile of silk cloth full of words from their bodies like a trick, and all of them were suggestions for Sun Fei, and Sun Fei was big for a while.

A large number of suggestions, coupled with the fact that due to the chaos of the previous herald Bazel and Alexander's own mental retardation, Chambord City at this time had accumulated countless cumbersome affairs that needed to be handled by the king, and for a while Sun Fei was almost buried by all kinds of affairs that needed to be dealt with, looking at the mountain-like documents in front of him and the large proposals recorded by the clerk next to him, Sun Fei felt that his head began to hurt, he rubbed his temples and shook his head painfully.

Seeing Sun Fei's appearance, the white-haired macho Pierce and a few other reckless men directly grinned and gloated.

The handsome old guy Best also had a meaningful smile on his face.

Sun Fei was annoyed, but his heart suddenly moved, and he thought about it, and said confidently to his future father-in-law: "Uncle Best, I am not yet an adult, and I have no experience at all, as an elder, you have to help me, hehe, or else, you will help me sort out and classify all these manuscripts and documents first, and then put forward suggestions for dealing with them separately, and then I will decide, do you think about it?"

Hearing Sun Fei's words, Best was stunned for a moment.

Perhaps Sun Fei himself didn't realize that the work he just mentioned was actually handled by the careerist herald Bazel in the past, and this order was tantamount to completely entrusting the power of the kingdom's administration to Best...... In other words, from today onwards, Best has become the new herald of Chambord City, and such a sudden major appointment has made the old fox Best a little overwhelmed.

Best didn't react, and the rest of the hall didn't expect this to happen.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall became a little weird.

After three or four seconds of silence—

"Your Majesty, I'm against it!" someone finally stepped forward.

"Your Majesty Alexander, I am against ...... too" someone immediately chimed in.

"That's right...... Your Majesty Alexander, Best is a despicable and shameless traitor and villain, and he had a bad record of taking away the royal property half a month ago, even if it is because of Angela, we will not hold him accountable this time, which is already a great forgiveness, how can such an evil person with no virtue and glory be allowed to hold such an important position as the herald of the kingdom?"

"That is, young Your Majesty Alexander, you can't be nepotistic!"

"Against, against ......"

For a while, the voices of opposition came and went, and the entire council hall became chaotic, Sun Fei did not expect such a situation to happen, he glanced at it quietly, and was surprised to find that Brooke and Pierce and others who were sitting on the stone chairs on the west side of the hall did not say anything when they arrived, but the most ferocious thing was the dozen unfamiliar faces sitting on the east side of the council hall, these dozen people appeared in front of Sun Fei for the first time, most of them were gorgeously dressed, wearing a silver crown inlaid with gems on their heads, full of energy, oily, impassioned when they spoke, patting their chests, and looking like they thought they were noble and righteous。

"Who are they?" Sun Fei turned his head and whispered to Torres, the personal guard officer standing behind him.

When the blond young man heard this, he quickly poked his head out and replied in a low voice, "King, the six men standing at the front wearing silver crowns are all nobles of high status in the city, and the five richly dressed men behind them are the richest merchants in the kingdom. Until then, according to the tradition of the kingdom, these people had always played a very important role in the king's council, and could even influence the king's decisions. ”

I see.

Sun Fei nodded, somewhat understood.

No matter in the previous life or in another world, there are no countries and every place where there will be such high-minded politicians, who occupy a large amount of social wealth, enjoy privileges far higher than ordinary people, unashamedly occupy the merits and glory of the army, play with power, play with conspiracy, castrate public opinion, and advocate justice and glory, in fact, all for the purpose of pursuing their own selfish desires.

And at this moment, the faces of these so-called nobles and big businessmen in the council hall are nothing more than this.

Such a discovery made Sun Fei have to sigh again, it turned out that what he, the king, had done in the past was really aggrieved, and even these stupid profit-seeking businessmen with fat heads and big ears could appear in the king's meeting hall and make a lot of noise in the hall like a vegetable market...... It seems that the so-called king and kingdom of Chambord City are really no different from the king of the mountain in essence, the same as he guessed before, and even inferior to a village chief in a remote mountain village in the northwest in his previous life...... Sun Fei found that if he wanted to create an ideal country in his mind, he had a long way to go.

"Quiet, don't make any noise, you, give your name first, Mr. Noble. Sun Fei waved his hand, interrupted such a swarm of flies in a loud voice, and stretched out his hand to the silver-crowned middle-aged man who was standing at the front and arguing the most fiercely.

"Louis, Your Majesty, I am Viscount Louis. The middle-aged man with the silver crown took a step forward, bowed slightly, performed a standard aristocratic salute, and then replied with pride in his expression.

"Oh, Louis...... Viscount?"

Sun Fei felt a little tongue-twisting, to be honest, he didn't understand this Western-style division of titles at all, but this did not prevent him from asking next: "Mr. Viscount, if Uncle Best is not suitable, who do you think can be more suitable to complete this job?"

"Your Majesty Alexander, first of all, it is not that I am not immodest, but I firmly believe that I am the most suitable person...... "Viscount Louis patted his chest and said proudly, "I am a nobleman of the purest blood in Chambord, my father was even summoned by the Emperor of the Zenit Empire, and my family has a glorious history and glorious glory here, my ...... Therefore, I am definitely the most suitable person to be the new herald. ”

Before he could finish his words, several nobles and big businessmen behind him stood up one after another, echoing loudly and expressing their approval.

It was Brooke and Pierce who had a look of disdain on their faces.

Sun Fei shook his head with a smile, he didn't understand that this was actually a court struggle for power and profit, but because a few unqualified politicians in front of him were too stupid, so this ridiculous scene appeared, looking at Viscount Louis who proudly told about his aristocratic glory, Sun Fei suddenly said: "Okay, Louis...... Well, Your Excellency, I have only one question for you, and if your answer satisfies me, then it will be up to you to be the new herald of the kingdom!"

Louis was overjoyed, and he replied confidently: "Your Majesty, please ask, I bet that there is no one more suitable than me in the conduct of political affairs." ”

"Well, let me ask you, when all the soldiers and civilians were fighting bloodished to defend Chambord City, you—where—were you?" Sun Fei sat high on the throne, sneered, and unabashedly mocked his expression, asking word by word.

"I ......" Viscount Louis was stunned.

"Hahaha...... When we fought bloodied with His Majesty Alexander, Lord Viscount must have hid in the crotch of the woman's pants and trembled and wailed, haha......" The straight-hearted black-haired man Drogba finally couldn't help but stand up and speak sarcastically, and suddenly Brooke and Hercules, who were sitting on the west side of the main hall, burst into laughter.

"You ...... You filthy soldiers...... What qualifications do you have to appear in the King's Hall?" Viscount Louis's face suddenly turned red, and he blushed and defended angrily, "The nobles have the right to be exempt from combat call-ups...... As the purest aristocrat of Chambord, I certainly can't do all the boring things like you lowly farmers. ”

"What a boring thing to fight and kill?" Sun Fei's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Okay, this matter is over, Viscount Louis, your answer makes me very, very dissatisfied, so I'm sorry, you can't get the position of herald...... And, Lord Viscount, be careful of whom you humiliate, the ruffians you speak of are heroes who have defended the entire king, and if the next time I hear you insult the heroes of Chambord like this, you will be honored to be the first unlucky person to be stripped of your title of nobility. ”

Speaking of this, Sun Fei's eyes were already murderous that was difficult to hide.

Louis was stunned, and finally didn't dare to say anything more.

Only then did Sun Fei turn his head to his father-in-law and continued: "Uncle Best, I'm sorry for you to sort out these documents, hehe, just now this Viscount Louis reminded me, and I now officially announce that from today onwards, you will be the new herald of the Chambord City Kingdom." ”

At this time, Best had completely calmed down from the initial shock, and when he heard such a formal appointment, the handsome old man did not shirk at all, and bowed gracefully to accept it.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, I object, you can't do this, it's nepotism...... Appoint a villain as a herald, and you'll ruin Chambord. Among the fat-headed and big-eared merchants to the east, a man with a beard and a fat pig saw Viscount Louis's eyes, mustered up the courage to stand up, and retorted loudly with an unconvinced face.

Sun Fei was suddenly furious.

When the bloody battle was bleeding, he shrank his head into the crotch of his pants one by one, but when he celebrated after the war, he couldn't wait to stand up and want to grab the cake, if he was a coward, he just shrunk your eggs and pretended to be dead, but he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he looked like he was full of words, Sun Fei hated this kind of politician who pretended to be a saint, and some unpleasant memories of his previous life instantly came to his heart, his violent temper came up, and he couldn't help it, and he suddenly stood up from the throne and pointed ' The fat pig's nose scolded without the demeanor of a king: "Fuck you, Lao Tzu is nepotism, what are you? Can you manage it? In the future, there will be no such unsightly stupid thing in my palace...... Where are the guards, throw me these stupid pigs who don't deserve to stand here!"

As soon as Sun Fei's voice fell, more than a dozen soldiers in leather armor rushed in and threw these pot-bellied businessmen out like wolves. In the midst of gasps and incredulous gazes, the remaining six nobles looked at each other one by one, stood there with embarrassed expressions, and finally quietly returned to their stone chairs and sat down quietly.

Sun Fei sat high on the throne.

His gaze swept over, and no nobleman dared to make eye contact with him.

Feeling the current situation of the fall of royal power and the mess of the entire kingdom power system, Sun Fei once again strengthened his determination to rectify the kingdom's administrative system and army structure, since he is already the king of this royal family, since his fate has been tightly linked to the people in front of him, Sun Fei has to work hard to change the status quo, and protect and protect everything he cherishes.

Thinking of this, Sun Fei knew that a fierce illness still needed a fierce medicine doctor, and it seemed that he had to take heavy medicine as soon as possible.

With a thought in his mind, he switched to the [Paladin Mode], and an aura of uprightness, nobility and justice emanated from his body, standing in front of the high throne, his expression was firm, and he said undoubtedly: "In the name of the King of Chambord City, I declare that in ten days, I will have the right to the royal family, Chambord has undergone a radical overhaul of the administrative system and the formation of the army, and from this day onwards, all the previous administrative and military order and etiquette in the kingdom will be abolished, and the whole city will enter a ten-day post-war adjustment period, during which the new herald Uncle Best will be in charge of the internal administrative affairs, and the military affairs will be in full charge of Gordon Brooke. ”

The awe-inspiring majesty of the king and the magnificence of the paladin, the two lofty temperaments merged into one at this moment, Sun Fei's voice echoed in the entire hall, no one dared to refute, everyone bowed their heads and surrendered, and the unwilling nobles did not dare to speak out in a cold sweat, in such an atmosphere, they even had an illusion - in a vague feeling, everything should be so.

This is the benefit of [Paladin Mode], which can unconsciously enhance your persuasiveness, appeal and majesty, and make your opponent unconsciously surrender to you - this is also the new cheating method that Sun Fei has recently figured out.

With the adoption of this resolution, the rest of the meeting proceeded relatively smoothly.

Towards the end, Brooke, who had been promoted to one of the 'two giants' of military and political affairs, suddenly stood up and mentioned another matter: "My king, there is a very important thing I must remind you of, there is still half a year to go, and the triennial military exercise between the various vassal countries under the jurisdiction of the Zenit Empire is about to begin, and if we want to achieve good results in the competition, we must start preparing now." ”

As soon as Brooke's words came out, everyone in the hall claimed yes one by one, and the atmosphere became warm again, Drogba stood up and beat his chest and shouted: "This time, we must provoke the old rival Black Rock City and advance to the fifth rank of the vassal country." ”

Sun Fei was surprised and asked, "The vassal state exercises martial arts?" uh, what is that for?"

For His Majesty Alexander, who always forgot a lot of common sense after returning to normal, everyone was already surprised, and Brooke patiently explained: "Your Majesty, the military exercise is a national strength measurement competition organized by the monarchy Zenit Empire, and all the vassal states under the Zenit Empire must participate, if you perform well in the battle, you will have the opportunity to improve the status of Chambord City and be promoted to the fifth rank of the vassal country, which is a very good opportunity for us." ”

"Is there any benefit to being promoted to a fifth-class subject?"

"Of course, Your Majesty, Chambord City is now a sixth-rank vassal of the Zenit Empire, ranking at the bottom of all the vassal countries, and the support of the Zenit Empire is also very limited, if we seize this opportunity to be promoted to a fifth-class vassal country, we can not only get the material and financial support of the empire with better conditions, but also be allowed to expand the number of residents and troops in the city, get more land, and even get the reward of the Star Fighting Qi Cheats, with these, Chambord City's strength can be greatly enhanced!"

It was the first time Sun Fei heard of such a thing, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a limit to the population and the number of troops in Chambord Chen now?" Also, what is going on with the land and fighting spirit cheats you just said. ”

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Zenit Empire, a sixth-class vassal can only have a maximum of 10,000 inhabitants, the number of troops cannot exceed 500, the king cannot own more than one castle, and the land cannot exceed 500 hectares. Moreover, the sixth-rank subject countries can only have two-star Dou Qi cheats and Dou Qi skill cheats, and it is strictly forbidden to circulate cheats above two stars, and the consequences of violating this article will be even more serious. Brooke patiently explained: "And once promoted to the fifth rank of the subject country, the conditions will be doubled, and the strength of Chambord City will increase by leaps and bounds...... Correspondingly, if they can be promoted to the fourth, third, second and first class subjects in the future, the conditions will be further relaxed. ”

"What kind of bullshit rule is this, doesn't the Zenit Empire want its vassal country to be strong?" Sun Fei couldn't understand for a while.

"There's an old proverb in Azeroth that a hound, too vicious, can bite off its owner's throat. For the monarchy, they must ensure that their dominance is not threatened by their own people, so the power of the individual subjects is strictly limited without weakening the overall strength. ”
