Yukent III stood, and Lane knelt.
The atmosphere grew more and more solemn and oppressive in the silent silence, and the pressure on Li En was even greater than when he was facing an enemy of a transcendent master.
I don't know how long it took, but Yukent III sighed deeply: "Dawn, you get upβjust to say that you are old, so impulsive." β
"Your Majesty... Thatβ" Lane looked hesitant.
"Silly boy, don't you understand Your Majesty's attitude?" The head of the Fandel family scolded with a smile.
"Prince Liebat, thank you on behalf of your two sisters!" Lai Enxi was overjoyed.
"Xie doesn't have to, as long as he doesn't regret it in the future." Yukent III remembered the woman with the surname "Langheim", and looked sad, "He has not only paid for saving the country in the civil war, but also completely cut off the possibility of inheriting the throne, he could have taken this opportunity to fight - Riehn, do you think it is worth it?" β
"Ask me, the answer must be worth it, I choose the latter between Jiangshan and beauty." Lane got up slowly, "It's probably worth asking Olibat, it's probably worth it." In the past, he might have had some thoughts of competing for the throne. After all, His Royal Highness Cedric has a weak personality, and he is not even as good as his sister Elfin. However, after this war, His Royal Highness Cedric, who has really seen blood, has shown the bearing of the lord of a country, so there is nothing to worry about. β
"yes... When I'm dead, I'll ask you to help Cedric. "Yukent III seems to have let go of a concern.
"Uh..."
"Why, you don't want to?"
"Not really, I just feel inexplicably disobedient." Li En scratched his head and said, "There are many examples of brothers killing each other for the throne in the history books, but what I encountered was so harmonious and friendly, I didn't know what to say for a while." β
"Hehe, this is probably the proudest thing in my life as a mediocre emperor."
"Your Majesty, you are humble again."
"This is not too modest, it is too famous. The emperor will not be able to stabilize the country during his tenure, causing the country to fall into civil war, and I am still the first in the history of the empire, and I am considered to be very good to use 'mediocrity' to evaluate me. β
"You are taking the historians of later generations for fools." "The era of the nobility will eventually pass, and the examples of Calvard and Liber are a good proof of this, and only the rotten people of the League of Nobles, immersed in privilege, will fail to recognize the reality... No, it's just that some people can't recognize the reality, and the other part is that they are unwilling to give up their vested interests, so they want to make a last stand. β
"The alternation of the old and the new era and the system will inevitably usher in turmoil, and the difference is only in the scale of the turmoil. Calvard was the first country to make a change, and the situation was even more chaotic than in the Lion War because of its lack of experience, the whole country was in shambles, careerists were rampant, and the situation was even more chaotic than in the Lion War. β
"It was Liber who changed a little later than the Republic, and with the experience of the Republic, Liber's situation was much better, and although there was turmoil in the country, it did not affect the army, and it was a peaceful evolution. However, given the size of Liber's country and the absolute dominance and power of the royal family, this peaceful evolution is almost impossible to replicate. β
"Since then, Remifilia and Northumbria, both have sought change, and both have caused great or small turmoil or strife, the only common denominator is that these upheavals and strife have lasted for years or even decades."
"And our country, with a land even more vast than Calvard, and the most entrenched aristocracy in the whole continent, the whole continent is looking forward to our turmoil, so that it can take advantage of the fire. His Majesty intensified and detonated the contradictions, and although they turned into a civil war, they quickly subsided within two months, giving no opportunity for external forces to take advantage of, and successfully knocked out the soul of the "League of Nobles". After the end of the civil war, His Majesty could slowly weaken the remnants of the nobility and use time to complete the evolution of the system. Your merits seem to me to be as good as Draquels the Great, who laid the foundation for 200 years of empire strength, and you laid the most solid foundation for the next 200 years. β
"You have such a mouth, you can really speak." Yukent III still looked like a good old man with no temper, "Maybe everything you said is right, but that's Osborne's credit." Ending the civil war in two months, leaving no outside forces to take advantage of it, thanks to your and Olivebat's efforts, I am just a bystander. β
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister was promoted by you, and it was an exceptional promotion, "Red Wings" Ye was personally approved by you to build and handed over to His Highness Oliebat, without your support, His Excellency the Prime Minister and His Royal Highness Olibat have no ambitions, no matter how many means they have, they will not be able to exert them."
"Hahahaha." The head of the Fandel family suddenly burst out laughing, "How about it, Your Majesty, classmate Li En is right, don't underestimate future generations, your merits will never be forgotten." β
Yukent III looked at the head of the Van Del family, who was older than himself, and looked at his nephew Lane, who finally stopped hiding his clumsiness, and the imperial power that had been suppressed for nearly ten years was fully released, and his compelling spirit was no less than that of Gillias Osborne, the "Iron Prime Minister".
"Meritorious deeds and demerits, after my death, let future generations comment, I only want to be worthy of the empire! Rhine Schwarzer, you and Olibat were the greatest contributors to the Civil War, and his request has been made, and I want to hear your request. β
"Before making a request, can you ask Your Majesty to answer one of my doubts?"
"Say."
"How does Your Majesty plan to weaken the power of the nobility?"
"As you say, take your time. Deal with the nobles of the Kane family and the state of Ramar first, then move on to other states, and when the power of the nobles is almost weakened, the constitution is revised. If I don't see that day, let Cedric continue. Why, does this have to do with your requirements? β
"It's not a direct relationship, but it's indirect."
"You want a title and a fief?" Yukent III is worthy of being the hero who dares to promote Osborne, and instantly grasped Dawn's mind.
"As Your Majesty expected." Lane bowed.
"Yes, you can choose the title of earl and below, how about the territory near Yumir?"
"......" Lane was silent and fell to one knee again.
Yukent III frowned slightly: "Still not satisfied? Could it be that you want to make up for Kane's lack and become another "Four Famous Families"? You don't look like such a greedy person. β
"Your Majesty, I do want a marquis, but not in the traditional sense, but for life." Rien finally said what he was going to do.
"Tenure? What do you mean? Tell me more about it. β
"Tenure, that is, the title is not hereditary, and it will end in one generation, and I will take back the title and territory after a hundred years."
Yukent III's pupils contracted suddenly. (To be continued.) )
