Chapter V: Deliberation

Before the eldest princess Yami could speak, the fourth prince Arthur on the side was the first to exclaim: "No." ”

The old king, MacAssyria, looked at his fourth-ranked son with an unfriendly gaze, and said in a cold tone, "Oh! ”

The fourth prince Arthur saw his father's appearance, and he broke down in a cold sweat on the spot, he just suddenly heard the news, and blurted out in a hurry, and now asked his opinion, and for a while he could find a good excuse to justify, so he had to say intermittently: "I...... I think...... I think ......"

The eldest prince on the side said with a sneer: "I see that the fourth brother jumped out to oppose it, are you afraid that the eldest sister will take over the National Guard, which will cause you some trouble!"

When Arthur, the fourth prince, heard this, he roared angrily: "You are talking nonsense......! I just think...... felt that the eldest sister was not familiar with military affairs, and rashly took over the National Guard, which would make a mess of the affairs of the army, and even the security of the royal capital would be affected. When the fourth prince said this, he praised his wit in his heart.

"The minister also felt that what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said had a reason, and let a person who was not familiar with military affairs hold an important position in the army, for fear of causing some accidents, and asked the king to withdraw his order. A fat, fat, bearded minister stood up and said.

As soon as he stood up against it, a few henchmen who were following him were about to move, and just when they wanted to stand up and oppose the appointment, the old king McAssyria raised his strength and clapped the armrest of the throne and shouted: "Enough! After roaring, he sat back on the throne, leaning against the back of the throne and gasping for air.

A eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked the chest of the old king MacAshuria to help him smooth his breath.

Seeing the appearance of the old king MacAssyri, the few people who wanted to stand up and express their thoughts were dispelled, after all, the old king was angry now, and no one wanted to resist his anger and be a bird.

The eldest princess stood aside and watched this scene with a cold face the whole time, and after no one objected, she saluted the old king MacAsyria and said, "The son of the minister takes the order." ”

"Get up, Yami, do you have any other requests?" asked the old king, MacAshur.

"Father, in this incident of my husband's attack, the National Guard has suffered heavy casualties, and there are many vacancies in the officer position, and I want to arrange the person who saved me to be the deputy commander of the National Guard. ”

The old king MacArshur rolled his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "This person ...... Is it worthy of your trust?"

"Father, it was he who saved our mother and daughter when your daughter and granddaughter were about to be killed, and for that reason she felt that he was more reliable than most people, so that she could trust her. ”

"That'...... Okay, then resign yourself to ......."

"Father!" the fourth prince Arthur shouted again, interrupting the words of the old king MacAssyria: "Father, we don't even know the identity and background of this person, and I am afraid it is inappropriate to arrange such an important position rashly. ”

Although this man saved the eldest princess, he could not guard against him being a spy sent by the enemy country, and the minister thought that he should first find out his details before making arrangements. "Noik is a henchman of the fourth prince, and if the fourth prince opposes it, of course he will oppose it, not to mention that the position of deputy commander of the National Guard has been originally set for his son-in-law Jim, how can he watch it being snatched away now.

The eldest brother who took the lead rushed forward and spoke against it, how could the younger brother who was messing with his ass not be in a hurry to make a statement, so many ministers spoke out one after another.

"Yes, Lord Noyk is talking about seeking the country. ”

"Your Majesty! Master Noik has a point. ”

"Your Majesty, please think twice. ”

“......”

In the midst of the opposition of the courtiers, another important minister stood up and saluted and shouted, "Your Majesty." ”

When the courtiers who spoke out in opposition saw him stand up, they all shut up, and the noisy hall like a vegetable market fell silent at once.

This person is Duke Loui, the minister in charge of the justice department of the kingdom, who is honest and old-fashioned and only loyal to the royal family, and the old king MacArthuria had to correct his attitude when he saw him stand up, and then said: "Duke Loui, do you have anything to say?"

Duke Lu Yi said: "Your Majesty, Lord Noyk is very reasonable, the National Guard is related to the safety of the royal capital, and outsiders who do not know the details cannot be used, and once such a precedent is opened, it will make those unscrupulous people who want to take a shortcut to get promoted and make a fortune find a way to climb quickly, if they all arrange people to perform such a play, it will be a great harm to the royal family and the country, so the minister also asks the king to withdraw the order and arrange a less important position for that person." ”

Other people's words can be regarded as fart, but the words of Duke Loui The old king MacAsyr has to pay attention to it, and what he said is indeed true, the old king MacAsyr is a soft-eared person, and he hesitated for a while: "This ......"

"Father, my daughter has something to say. The eldest princess Yami saw that the old king MacAsyria began to hesitate, and a sneer flashed in her heart, in fact, she also knew that the request she put forward was impossible to achieve, and the reason why she still put it forward was to make a foreshadowing for what she was going to say next, so as to increase the chance of success.

The old king MacAssyri's gaze withdrew from Duke Loui and looked at the eldest princess Yami: "Yami! ”

Yami said: "Everyone is against it, and the daughter no longer insists, but he saved his daughter's life, if it is not rewarded, some people will say that our Mack royal family is unkind, and the princess will not get a decent reward if she is saved, so the daughter proposes to give him a knighthood, and then give him a rich land as his fief, hoping that the father will agree to this request." ”

The old king, MacArsyria, nodded, looked at Duke Loui with a slightly inquiring gaze, and after seeing him nodding his head and agreeing with this view, he said, "This is also a feasible way. After speaking, the Marquis of Mulleso, who looked at the Minister of Civil Affairs, opened his mouth and asked, "Mulleso, look at the rich land...... Is there anything left to reward you?"

The Marquis of Mulleso, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, all the rich lands have been given away, and the rest are some barren and remote lands. ”

"This ......" the old king MacAshuria was a little embarrassed, then looked at the ministers below and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Ministers, look at me, and I see that you have not spoken for a while.

"Father!" said the eldest princess, "Baron Nord has no children to inherit his title, and he is terminally ill and will not live long, so the daughter wants to ask her father for the title of baron, and when Baron Nord dies, let the man take over the fief." ”

When the ministers heard this, the discerning people finally understood the purpose of the eldest princess, don't look at this is just a little baron's fief, the people in the fief are not more than 10,000, the knights are only ten, and the army is only three hundred, but its geographical location is very important, it is only a hundred kilometers away from the royal capital 'Giant Stone City', and there is a place in the fief called ' Qiaotou Pass's pass, this pass is dangerous, as long as a company of hundreds of people is stationed, if the army of tens of thousands of people is not in the help of magicians, it is difficult to attack down, and there is one of the most important factors, if there is an accident in the royal capital, the army of the eldest princess Rand family wants to enter the royal capital, this is called' The pass of Qiaotou Pass is the way they must pass, and the people who want to understand the tone of this can't help but give a thumbs up to the eldest princess Mia in their hearts, first abandon a request that everyone opposes, so that the old king can't help her achieve it, and feel guilty in her heart, and then say a request that is easy and few people oppose, so that the old king will be able to agree to her under the guilt.

Sure enough, the old king MacAssyrian looked guilty, nodded his head and said, "Well, this proposal is also feasible, then ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the eldest prince Yada stand up and interrupt: "Father, I have something to say." ”

The old king MacAshur swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and looked at the eldest prince A. with an inquiring gaze: "Oh! A. ”

"Father, Baron Nord, before he died, we thought that dividing his fief to others would chill the hearts of the people, which would not only say that we were unkind, but also that we were unrighteous, which would make the people deviate from morality, and ask Father to think twice. ”

Erchen also agreed with the eldest brother's opinion. The fourth prince Arthur was reminded by the people around him, and it was rare for him to stand on the same line as the eldest prince Arthur.

For a time, the ministers who were attached to the two princes also spoke out against it.

"This ......" Seeing that so many courtiers were opposed, the soft-eared old king MacAsyr began to hesitate again.

"Your Majesty!" said the Marquis of Mulleso, the Minister of Civil Affairs, "the minister thought of a place, which was not only large enough, but also rich in materials, but only ...... Just ......"

The old king MacAsyr frowned and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Just what, swallow and spit out, if you have something to say, hurry up." ”

The Minister of Civil Affairs, the Marquis of Mulleso, paused, swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty, it's just that this place is more dangerous, after the last consul, Baron Wood, was killed by the gangsters, no one has dared to go anywhere to take over, and the person who can repel the gangsters who attacked the eldest princess, I think he must be a powerful person, so I think it should be very appropriate to send him to manage the place." ”

As soon as the courtiers heard the words of the Marquis of Mulleso, the Minister of Civil Affairs, they all understood where he was talking about.

I saw a minister with a look of horror on his face and asked: "Lord Marquis Mulleso, are you talking about the terrifying town that sits on the Red Forest Plain, full of thieves, murderers, horse thieves, slave hunters, adventurers, orcs, barbarians, mountain people, goblins, and has five consecutive consuls who have died in office?" ”

The Marquis of Mulleso nodded and said, "Yes, there it is." ”

The old king MacAsyr frowned again, thought for a moment, and then looked at the eldest princess Yami and asked, "Yami, what do you think?" ”

The eldest princess Yami still had a cold face, so that people couldn't see her inner thoughts at this time, but said in a cold voice: "It's all up to my father." ”
