Of course, in fact, the most debated is not these, but the question of how to address each other when writing the text.

The Eastern Roman Empire insisted that the Normans should present themselves as vassals, while the Normans insisted that the two sides should be called equals.

In the end, Foster was surprised to find that Randy's statement that the Romans valued face the most was actually true.

Roman! Whether it was the military or the Senate, the Constantinoples, the Emperor, the locals, or the aristocracy, without exception, adhered to this principle, and were even willing to make more concessions in other areas, and were not willing to abandon this clause.

"What a strange bunch of fellows, and if they keep going like this, maybe these people will wake up one day and find that they have nothing but their pride." Foster couldn't help but think so, and asked Randy at the same time.

Randy replied: "Let's just say that the other emperor's old age can call him uncle." ”

The Eastern Roman Empire eventually reluctantly accepted this, and I don't know if it was an honorific title.

Coupled with the two previous treaties on accepting Randy's proclamation as Tsar and opening the Dardanelles, the latest ten-year covenant between the Norman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire has been released.

"This marks the beginning of a new era, in which the Normans and the Romans will become a nation of brothers, working together to maintain peace in this world and share the right to rule it."

The Roman historians, who were bought by the Normans, were very excited to record this.

In fact, the vast majority of Romans did not think so, attributing this alliance to the centripetal force of their own empire and the proper policy of pacifying the barbarians, and regarded the alliance between the Normans and Rome as an active surrender, and regarded the Norman Empire, a huge country whose actual territory had surpassed the Eastern Roman Empire, as a vassal state of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The Eastern Roman Empire reaped face......

The Norman Empire reaped the benefits......

Both sides are happy!

——————————

On November 15, 1104, the city of Kievan Rus' was lit up and the Norman Emperor was about to be crowned Tsar of Rus' under the auspices of Archbishop Peter in a sprawling palace known as the Summer Palace.

Hundreds of Rus' aristocrats from all over Eastern Europe, quietly dressed in luxurious robes given by the Norman Emperor, sat at round tables that could accommodate nearly 20 people, watching the ever-increasing delicacies on the table, but they could not eat due to etiquette.

Unlike these native buns and Rus' nobles, the Norman nobles from the original Norman territory, and even the representatives of the British nobility, the French nobility, and the German aristocracy from further afield, these people who had already enjoyed the welfare of the Norman Empire, ignored their previous shameful virtues, and unanimously looked at this group of Rus turtles with contempt and superiority.

In the state banquet hall of the entire summer palace, nearly a thousand nobles from all over the Norman Empire, like stars and moons, surrounded a temporary high platform covered with Persian carpet in the middle, while constantly looking at a small door next to it, looking forward to the protagonist's appearance.

"Isn't it good?" In the preparation room, Artoria didn't know how many times she had asked Artoria.

"Beautiful! My queen looks good in anything. Randy didn't know how many times he had answered Artoria.

"I think it's better to change it again!" Artoria looked left and right in the mirror, but in the end she was still not satisfied, and ran to the hanger next to her and picked one after another.

"It's really energetic......"

Archbishop Peter next to him was wiping his sweat as he said this, but when he saw Randy's eyes suddenly glare, he hurriedly swallowed the second half of his sentence.

"Your Majesty, you should urge the queen! It's been more than two hours since this happens, and if it goes on like this, it's going to be dawn. ”

Randy smiled bitterly: "Usually the queen is very cheerful, but I didn't expect this to be no different from other women, but then again, I'm afraid this kind of thing is only this once in my life, and it's nothing to pay attention to at all." ”

Listening to the monarch's doting tone, Peter was a little speechless, and secretly sighed and turned away, out of sight and out of mind.

Although the archbishop couldn't say much because of his identity, Aurora, who was sitting next to him, snorted softly: "You just spoil her!" ”

Randy rolls his eyes, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, seemingly ignoring Aurora's words.

Aurora came over three days before the enthronement ceremony, and it was still a big pomp than Randy, and it was still a retinue of countless maids, flowers paved with water, and the streets were swept with clean water, and she was dressed in a white low-cut dress, which made the eyes of all the Rusts look straight.

"Why are you here?"

Some keen-eyed nobles also noticed that their monarch, Randy, didn't seem to be very happy that their royal sister, the eldest princess, was here.

"Why can't Hongu come?" Aurora rolled her eyes, and for a while, the two little young Rus nobles next to her were instantly cerebral congestion, and they wanted to pounce and kneel down to propose, but they were dragged to the corner by a group of Norman spies and beaten violently.

But no matter what Auroraan's heart is, her apparent identity is the eldest princess of the Norman Empire, and it seems, probably, maybe, maybe, she is the first heir to the Norman Empire, and it is absolutely no problem for her to attend such a ceremony, and because Aurora's appearances have always been relatively high-profile, the news that the eldest princess of the Norman Empire, a super beauty, has come to Kiev like this, and it is not good for Randy to want to drive her away.

"You're gone, what about domestic politics? What about the Royal Consulate? ”

"Oh? Now think of my benefits? ”

"Nope! I'm just sorry for the 25% bonus on the national commercial tax and the 50% bonus on the commercial trade volume! ”

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, a few months of going back and forth, it will lose more than 200,000 gold coins."

"Two hundred thousand? Are you kidding me? ”

"Humph! Hongu has been working for you for free for several years, so what's wrong with spending a little money on publicly-funded travel? ”

"You are my sister, you should work for me for free, don't talk about your poor brainpower, your whole person is mine."

"What? You ...... thing."

Aurora's face instantly turned red and hot, but she couldn't say a word, and her heart was in a mess.

But then Randy thought about it, anyway, in the future, the capital will be moved from Gothenburg to Krakow, which means that the Royal Consulate will also be moved, so Aurora doesn't have to go back to Gothenburg, so just let her live.

At this moment, the eldest princess of the royal family was also a little impatient, and snorted lightly: "Forget it, when that woman comes out after changing her clothes, I will persuade her." ”

"You're not ......"

Randy opened his mouth and just wanted to say this, but he thought that there would be a lot of people in the preparation room, and it would not be good for others to hear the internal strife in the royal family, so he swallowed the second half of the sentence, which was not very good with her.

"Humph! Look at it! ”

Aurora naturally understood what Randy was trying to say, so she rolled her eyes, and she was full of amorous feelings, even if most of the people around her were maids, she looked intoxicated.

"It's worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's sister, both brother and sister are beauties!"

Voices like this immediately rang out, and after a while, he changed into a dark purple gown, and wore a full set of jewelry cut from the same sapphire, including necklaces, earrings, and rings, and the whole person looked brilliant.

"It's just that Her Royal Highness the Empress is much worse, I don't know why the emperor likes her so much."

But such words would never be spoken, but the maids looked at each other, and they could see similar meanings in each other's eyes.

Artoria is really unlucky, born in this world that does not conform to the mainstream aesthetics, but it is also a great luck in misfortune to meet someone like Randy who will appreciate her beauty.

It's just that just as Randy was about to compliment Artoria as usual, Aurora, the cheap sister next to him, spoke first.

"It's ugly! It's like a stupid woman from the countryside, completely inconsistent with the status of a Norman queen. ”

"What did you say?" Artoria was naturally angry, if this sword of victory and oath hung on her waist, she would have already unsheathed and cut Aurora.

"Humph! That's what Hongu said! ”

Aurora pulled out the small fan on her waist, opened it with a shake of her hand, covered her lips, turned to Randy and said, "Brother, the emperor's coronation, it doesn't matter if the queen doesn't appear, let's just leave this unfeminine guy here." ”

"Huh! Of course not, the queen ......"

"Oh! By the way, speaking of which, the queen is indeed a very important embellishment, like a person like my brother, how can there be no female companion around, if it really doesn't work, the palace will reluctantly make do with it. ”

"Shut up!"

Watching Aurora pull Randy's arm and rub her sinful chest around, Artoria yells and forcibly separates the two of them.

"Let's go!" He took Randy's hand and walked outside.

"Honey, you tap ......"

"Shut up!"

The Norman emperor and empress walked farther and farther away, opened the door and walked out.

"That's it!"

Aurora chuckled and turned around, looked at the stunned Archbishop Peter and said, "Why don't you hurry up and keep up?" Presiding over the coronation is urgent! ”

"Oh! Oh! Peter came to his senses, nodded and walked out.

After walking some distance, as more and more people began to look at the most honorable couple in all of Europe, Artoria barely put on a smile and held Randy's hand less hard, which made Randy breathe a sigh of relief, and she was no longer so angry at Aurora's prank, at least she managed to get Artoria out, otherwise I don't know how much time it would take.

Randy comforted himself with this, a half-true smile on his lips turned up, and he raised his left hand to wave to the nobles.

Immediately after that, the whole state banquet hall was full of jubilation, and the nobles stood up as if they saw the sages, and cheered loudly together with the maids and attendants, as well as the Norman guards, and applauded desperately.

Looking at the flattering smile of this large aristocracy, Randy's vanity was greatly satisfied, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became three points true and seven points false for a while, and the reason why there were two less sincerity in turn was because Randy had to add two points of strength and not let the smile at the corner of his mouth expand with his happy mood, after all, he was an emperor, not a comedian, and his smile must be subtle and mysterious.

Although the spotlight was not invented now, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the couple.

The Norman Empress, who was wearing a dark purple dress and light blue gemstone jewelry, and Emperor Randy, who was wearing a black dress, a dark blue cape, and a large number of gem-encrusted sabers hung from his waist, until they slowly walked down the red carpet and walked up to the high platform in the middle of the state banquet hall, Randy pressed his hand down several times in a row, signaling everyone to stop, and the applause rang out for a few minutes, and then it was over.

Immediately after that, Archbishop Peter, who had been following Randy all along, immediately stepped forward and began to preside over Randy's coronation, which began with a series of fat-sounding sycophants, while assuring the nobles, especially the Rus' nobles in Eastern Europe, that their lives would get better and better.

In fact, the nobles still have different opinions on the so-called better and better life, indeed, because the Norman Empire has made every effort to improve the effect of the technology tree, their living standards and quality of life have indeed improved, but that is only reflected in food, clothing, housing, transportation, these life entertainment, but in terms of political economy, their privileges are becoming less and less, and there are even rumors that His Majesty the Emperor will implement a new law to pardon all serfs in the empire and become free men.

At that time, these people, whose ancestors had been slaves for eight generations, would be free to choose their jobs, leave their domains, and even obtain a legal equivalent to them, and even climb to the position of the aristocracy after a few generations, and even more so might climb to the heads of their former masters.

How can this work? Isn't this a mess? Is His Majesty the Emperor's head caught in the door?

In short, for such a policy, whether it is the so-called good aristocracy, bad aristocracy, smart aristocracy, fool aristocracy, aristocracy with great power, or aristocracy with little power, as long as they belong to the class of nobles, they will never like such a policy, this is nothing more than character, it is purely a matter of class attributes.

But Randy didn't want to kill them all, and spent five years in this world after being resurrected, and Randy, who is now twenty-five years old, has already passed the stage of cutting if he doesn't like it, knowing that it is not a good thing to lean left or right, maintaining a relatively powerful aristocratic class at this stage is also beneficial to the stability of the country, after all, he is the emperor of the feudal empire, not the mob leader of the *** republic, for the prosperity and prosperity of the empire, he can indeed ask the nobles to sacrifice some interests.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it's just a different way of exploitation, the serfs who have become free people don't have any production resources, they can only work in the territory of the nobility, just play tricks like this, so that their production enthusiasm can be improved, and then create greater value, better exploitation, as for privileges, there are neither TV and newspapers, nor the Internet, who can find out if their hands and feet are clean? Even if it is found out, no one has exposed it, and this group of stupid aristocrats who don't understand anything actually block this kind of good thing, which is really incorrigible stupid.

Of course, this kind of thing is not suitable for such a festive time, but now this kind of aristocratic gathering also gives them a very good opportunity, if one or two nobles meet alone and block this decree, most of them will be beheaded by the irascible emperor, but now the nobles gathered in Kiev add up to nearly a thousand people, and those nobles from Germany, France, and Britain farther away also represent more nobles with the same interests as them, so as long as there is 1/ 3 of the nobles united to write en masse, and even His Majesty the Emperor needed to think about it seriously.

Therefore, in recent times, the nobles have been in contact more and more privately, and some people do not understand the horror of the Norman spy network, and sometimes even directly tell these things to the Norman spy who is ostensibly a Norman nobleman, and soon Randy learned such news.

"So I say these guys are a bunch of idiots."

Randy scolds and laments, and decides to postpone the emancipation bill.

"His Majesty the Emperor is so great, like the eternal sun, radiating an incomparable light, shining on all things in the world......"

At this moment, perhaps the archbishop's speech was too exciting, and the audience erupted in cheers, interrupting a slightly distracted Randy and returning his attention to the real world.

"What are you thinking? It's a critical time, so don't make jokes! Aurora's voice came from behind.
