Xu leaned out to take the water bottle from the bedside cabinet and drink some water, but before he could reach for it, Rudolph quickly handed the water bottle over. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info permission took the water bottle and swallowed it in a big gulp, it's good, it's cold boiled water, don't worry about parasites. Permission quenched his thirst, and then began to explain to Rudolph.

"Rudolph, it's not as simple as you think. You know, since His Majesty Henry took the throne, he has devoted all his energy to strengthening the royal power. In recent years, His Majesty Henry has been stationed in Memleben for many years, so as to take various measures to weaken the power of the local nobility, especially the tribal dukes. In particular, the previous Bavarian was forced to hand over the right to appoint and dismiss the bishop in his domain, and now it seems that the tribal dukes have lost their ability to parry in front of His Majesty Henry. But His Majesty's actions also caused a deep estrangement between the tribal dukes and the royal family, so much so that His Majesty Henry had to reuse the bishops to fight the tribal dukes who were deeply entrenched in the country. On the one hand, the nobles loyal to His Majesty Henry responded to His Majesty's call and moved their families to Memleben to show their loyalty; On the one hand, the nobles who remained in their territory were inclined to the tribal dukes in order to protect themselves, hoping to use the strength of the tribal dukes to contain the increasingly powerful royal family. You should know about the situation in China. ”

"You know, our family is one of the nobles who have left the territory, my father told me, but what does it have to do with my father's announcement of the Klose family to implement the primogeniture." Rudolph touched his head and looked at Carolan in confusion, who was about to make a tirade.

"Hey." Xu Xu looked at Rudolph with a confused look and sighed helplessly, simply ignoring Rudolph's doubts and continued according to his own logic, "You must know that our East Frankish Kingdom has been elected by the noble council for two consecutive kings since the Carolingian royal family became extinct, and the first king Conrad I was the first to be elected as the Duke of Franconia after the Carolingian royal family became the heir, but the Duchy of Franconia, the basis of his rule, was weakened due to heavy losses due to many wars. Therefore, during the reign of the first king, he was controlled by others at every turn, and finally died in depression, giving up the throne to His Majesty Henry, and even the current Duke of Franconia, His Excellency Eberhard, failed to recover. His Majesty Henry was also one of the tribal dukes before he ascended the throne, but since his accession to the throne, His Majesty Henry has learned the lessons of the previous King Conrad I, on the one hand, the strength of our Saxon nobles who were originally loyal to him has increased rapidly, and on the other hand, through various means, the territory directly under the royal family has been expanded, so that the strength of the Duchy of Saxony is far stronger than that of other dukes. And the princes of the other tribes, after finding that they could no longer fight against us, all hit His Royal Highness Prince Otto with their ideas; You know, His Majesty Henry is very old. According to our Germanic tradition, after the death of His Majesty Henry, the throne should have been inherited by His Royal Highness Prince Otto, but the vast royal territory in the Dukedom of Saxony should be divided equally among the princes. In this case, the power of the royal family will be greatly weakened, and in that case, the royal family will inevitably devote most of its energy to the internal integration of the Saxon aristocracy, so that many tribal dukes will have a chance to breathe. And the royal family, which has lost the support of our Saxon nobles and has lost its own strength, is bound to not be able to continue to maintain its current strong posture, you must know that the authority of His Majesty to rule this kingdom now comes from the huge direct territory of the royal family, as well as us Saxon nobles. ”

After saying such a long paragraph, he was also a little tired, after all, his body was still very weak; But looking at Rudolph's half-understood appearance, he felt that he had to make this matter clearer, after all, as the eldest son of the family, Rudolph would not be a good thing for the Klose family if his political sense of smell was too dull, and now he still had to lean on the big tree of the Klose family to enjoy the shade. Xu Xu adjusted his sitting posture to make himself more comfortable, the bed in the Middle Ages was not so soft, and he would still feel a little awkward after sitting for a long time, and then Xu Xu continued: "So in order to pave the way for Prince Otto, His Majesty, who is very old, first announced that the royal family would implement the primogeniture system, and now he intends to send Prince Bruno to the convent; These actions are to ensure that the strength of the royal family will not be weakened in any way after Prince Otto succeeds to the throne, and at the same time imply that we, the nobles, must continue to be loyal to His Royal Highness Prince Otto, so that the royal family can continue to maintain a deterrent effect on the tribal dukes in the future. ”

"Oh! I see. I thought it was Prince Bruno, Prince Hedwisy and Prince Henry who had fallen out of favor! Rudolph listened to these analyses and suddenly understood.

"I guess you're the only one who thinks so." Looking at Rudolph's backward appearance, he complained weakly; Then he continued to analyze.

"Therefore, after His Majesty Henry announced the primogeniture, he was strongly opposed by the tribal dukes, and even our Saxon nobles themselves were not small, after all, it shook the foundation of many nobles who relied on the traditional law of equal inheritance; Therefore, the primogeniture system has not been promoted for a long time, and even a few nobles have threatened to take the most extreme measures to stop His Majesty's 'wrong' move. And my father took the lead in announcing at this time that our Klose family also implemented the primogeniture inheritance law, which actually helped Your Majesty a lot, as long as we made a start for Your Majesty, then Your Majesty's means will naturally slowly let the primogeniture inheritance system be promoted, and our family is just a pioneer for Your Majesty. ”

After learning about this matter, Xu Xu was not worried about the infringement of his own interests at all, because the person in charge of this family was still Carolan's father Herman, and Xu Xu himself actually had no right to speak; Second, this matter did not end so easily, and the tribal dukes did not give up their independent status so easily. His Majesty Henry and the tribal dukes still have to compete with each other. Of course, as a traverser, he knows that the final big winner of this game is the big boss of the Klose family, Henry the Bird Catcher, so as the final winner of this confrontation, there is no reason why Henry the Bird Catcher will not compensate his most loyal little brother the Klose family.

"But now a lot of people are talking about our family, saying that you want to kill me because of this." Rudolph finally told the reason for his apprehension.

"Poof..." Xu Xu couldn't hold back a laugh. "Hahahahaha, Rudolph! Do you think I'm going to kill you now, I'm afraid I'm going to kill myself! Hahaha, Rudolph, don't you believe these pigs! ”

"Okay, okay." Hearing this, even Rudolph knew how much he was thinking, even if he was sluggish. Soon the honest Rudolph turned red and blushed at the fact that he had believed those words.

"But it's normal, they come to you to say that they want to provoke us and make our family mess up; If I hadn't been injured, I guess someone would have come to me and say something; But they also want to fight with His Majesty Henry, who is already thinking about diverting the focus of the country through war. When the time comes, my father, as one of His Majesty's most important generals, will make a little merit, and His Majesty will be able to compensate for the loss of our family. While thinking about the prowess of Henry, the birdcatcher in history, he despised the villains who secretly stirred up trouble. didn't care about revealing sensitive information to Rudolph, after all, as a traverser, as long as he combined the events in history and the current situation, it was easy to guess the birdcatcher Henry's intentions.

"Huh? You say Your Majesty is ready to start a war! Where! Are they those damn Magyar thieves? I've wanted to hack those filthy locusts to death for a long time. Hearing Carolan say this, Rudolph seemed to completely ignore Carolan's analysis of the matter, and only noticed the only word in this line that attracted him: war! As soon as he heard that war was about to break out, Rudolph immediately became excited; But it's no wonder, after all, the Klose family is a military aristocracy, and only in war can the family earn greater honor, of course, this is also Rudolph's responsibility as the eldest son of the family.

Hearing Rudolph's words, he immediately rolled his eyes, feeling that the point of his words Rudolph didn't notice it all; Permission slapped his forehead weakly and fell headlong on the bed; "Alright! Rudolph I have such a headache, I want to rest! Then he grabbed the quilt from the bed and covered his face, and made up his mind not to pay attention to this simple-minded brother anymore.

Rudolph, who got the answer he wanted, was no longer entangled in the matter of inheritance, he paced back and forth in the room by himself, muttered to himself for a while, and then left the room happily, and before leaving, he did not forget to threaten Lisa at the door to take good care of Caroline, so frightened that poor little Lisa shivered like a frozen quail, and it seemed that Lisa's psychology for a long time was going to leave the terrifying shadow of Rudolph's Great Demon King.

Hearing Rudolph's footsteps fading away, Xu Xu tore off the quilt on his face and gasped for breath. "This quilt, I'll take it, it's really hard to hold my breath... Of course, the handicraft technology of the Middle Ages is not as good as that of modern civilization, not to mention that this is Europe, but there is no silk quilt to cover yourself; Even if there were, only the great nobles should be entitled to enjoy the luxurious silk fabrics that came all the way from the East. Although the Klose family is also considered strong, its current position is almost always maintained by Herman's personal ability; Without Herman's presence, the Klose family would have been a small and medium-sized aristocracy; Even now, the Klose family is completely incomparable to the dukes of East Francia; Therefore, the Klose family's background is the worst among the nobles of the same level. However, it was the birdcatcher Henry and Prince Otto who trusted Herman so much that they even made Herman the leader of the royal cavalry regiment, which made the Klose family enter the ranks at the top of the pyramid of power in the kingdom.

And Lady Canossa's surname is Salian, and she was born into a local aristocratic family far from the royal nucleus; Although the territory of the Sallian family is not small, even the Sallian family itself is considered one of the most powerful nobles in the Lorraine region; However, due to the civil strife of the Carolingian orthodox royal family in the past few decades, the entire Lotternia region was swept through the West Frankish kingdom, and as one of the legacies of Charlemagne's empire, which was closest to the center of the chaotic maelstrom, the Lorraine region was implicated and wars continued; Finally, a few years ago, the most powerful nobleman in Lorraine, Giselbert, decided to be loyal to Henry the Birdcatcher, and with the help of the power of the East Frankish Kingdom, the war in Lorraine was temporarily calmed, but years of war have deeply hurt the strength of many nobles in Lorraine. In addition, it has a deep relationship with the West Frankish Kingdom, and many of the native nobles of Lorraine are inextricably linked with the great nobles of the West Frankish Kingdom who are plotting to rebel against the Carolingian royal family, as well as the rivalry between His Majesty Henry, the birdcatcher and many clan dukes within East Francia; Although the Lorraine region has calmed down on the surface, it is indeed in danger secretly. In particular, two years ago, Henry's new Duke of Lorraine, Giselbert, had been vacillating between West Francia and East Francia, which led directly to the second time that His Majesty Henry led his army into Lorraine. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, Giselbert saw Henry's murderous appearance, and immediately severed his ties with West Francia on the surface, and then politically leaned over to the side of the tribal duke to retain his title; In an environment like Lorraine, as a noble representative of the royal family who is very close to the royal family, the life of the Salian family is even more difficult, and even last year, the Salian family directly sent their only eldest son Werner to Memleben through the call of the bird catcher Henry, it is estimated that on the one hand, he expressed his loyalty to the bird catcher Henry, and on the other hand, there was no meaning of the cunning rabbit. Of course, this was only a conclusive summary of the Salian family based on Caroline's memories, and he, as a time-traveler, was stunned when he remembered his mother's surname Salian; You know, according to normal historical development, in just a few decades, the Salian family will become the biggest golden thigh in the country; Even in the time and space where the permission did not appear, more than ten years later, the bear child in Caroline's memory who was alive and calling himself an uncle, Conrad, the child of Werner, the only heir to the Salian family, would succeed Giselebert, Duke of Lorraine, who had lost his title due to his death, as the new ruler of Lorraine. Conrad's descendants would occupy what is now the Duchy of Franconia, and would establish one of the most powerful dynasties in the history of the Holy Roman Empire: the Franconian dynasty.

Of course, that's all decades away, and it's unclear whether this will happen with the advent of licensing. According to the current information, the permit should have traveled to around 927 AD; However, in the memory of permission, there is no nobleman named Klose in history, which is normal, too many things in this era can cut off a person's life, or even the life of a family, like the Klose family can now have an adult eldest son and an almost adult second son at the same time, and Mrs. Canossa can already be regarded as a heroic mother in a sense.

Today, the entire Klose family is in Memleben, and Hermann has no other brothers, except for a sister who is married to a nobleman from Upper Burgundy; However, compared to the prestige of the Klose family in the kingdom, the territory of the Klose family is a bit pitiful, Herman only has two unconnected territories of Quetta Fort and Lingelheim, although these two territories are quite large, but they are almost uninhabited areas outside of the two castles and several settlements; Therefore, the Klose family did not send a family directly to their territory to consolidate their family's authority and ruling power according to the traditional aristocracy, but directly arranged their eldest son Rudolph into the Kingdom Praetorian Guard as an officer; As a newly raised nobleman, the Klose family did not have many vassals, and the few vassals who were all around Herman held important duties, so there was no problem of birds occupying the dove's nest.

It took a lot of effort to sort out his memory, and he was relieved that he didn't have any too difficult Hell difficulty starts; Maybe I can try to fulfill the wish of my previous life, be a happy rich second generation, and live a corrupt life of sleeping until I wake up naturally, counting money, counting money, and cramping in my hands? Sighing, he slowly fell asleep as he recalled his relatives who he would never see again after a thousand years. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he burst into tears.

At the end of a thrilling day, in a dark corner of the city of Memleben, not far from the Klose manor, a group of shadows quietly gathered. These people hiding in the dark seemed to be exchanging something with each other quickly, although it was not clear what they were exactly, but the viciousness and gloom that came out sporadically when the words "Caroland", "Klose" and "Hermann" were mentioned sporadically during the exchange. As the secret rats finished communicating, a large web of malice and conspiracy was formed, and then it shrouded Caroline, who was unaware of it.
