Chapter 69: Empress Freya
After Lin Xue sent Liu Ying to kill the Duke of Milton, he quickly began to spread the word in the city that Milton was executed by the royal family for a series of acts such as corruption and bribery.
As soon as this news was released, many people were skeptical.
After all, the Milton family has been passed down from generation to generation and has served the Horsman Empire for more than three generations, how can they be easily executed by the royal family?
However, the day after the news spread, Lin Xue took the royal order and a thousand private soldiers of Rena's grandfather to raid the Duke of Milton's mansion.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The dignified Duke of the Empire, the royal family actually said that it would be abolished, and it would be killed when it was said to be killed, which made many noble ministers feel chills down their spines.
In addition to many people lamenting the ruthlessness of the royal family, there are also many people who are secretly worried.
But more of it is on the sidelines.
After all, the duke was deposed, and the other two imperial dukes would not sit idly by, and would definitely go to the royal family to ask for an explanation, but what they didn't expect was that.
At this time, the two dukes were silent at the same time and did not make any moves, which could not help but be puzzling to many people.
Lin Xue was raiding the Milton Mansion and encountered some resistance from the other party.
The two sons of the Duke of Milton led troops to surround the mansion impenetrable.
and threatened that if Lin Xue dared to step into the mansion, she would resist.
Lin Xue was immediately happy.
Yoh? Feelings which are threatening me?
This is really a heifer who can fly, and it is awesome!
Immediately, Lin Xue stepped directly into the mansion, and when the other party saw this, he took out his weapons and attacked Lin Xue one after another, but Lin Xue directly pinched out a flame and slapped it at the nearest soldier.
Suddenly, a huge wave of fire exploded, and the soldiers were burned crying father and mother.
This is still Lin Xue's "humane considerations" to reduce the power of the spell to half, otherwise these people would have a chance to scream there.
In the end, Lin Xue successfully entered the mansion.
In line with the principle of not leaving a single piece, Lin Xue scraped quite carefully.
After the house was searched, Lin Xue also used earth magic to lift up the land of the entire mansion, and really did what it means to turn the bottom upside down.
Even during the raid, the other party's servant accidentally dropped a copper coin from his body, which was directly confiscated by Lin Xue as Milton's family property.
Milton was the minister in charge of the empire's wealth.
The amount of his family property made Lin Xue smack.
Lin Xue searched the Duke of Milton's mansion and secretly filled his ring with gold coins, busy and happy.
In the end, the gold coins that Lin Xue secretly took away alone reached hundreds of thousands.
It really shocked Lin Xue.
Soon after Freya returned to control of the Imperial finances, many ministers and nobles jointly signed a letter accusing the Imperial Family of murdering the Imperial Chancellor for no reason.
said that the evidence of the Duke of Milton's corruption brought out by the royal family was simply nothing.
And the most interesting thing is that among the ministers who complained about the actions of the royal family, there were no other two dukes.
"It's obvious that those two dukes are behind this, otherwise these guys wouldn't have the guts to do this."
Lin Xue saw at a glance the trick used by the other party.
"But the question is, what now?"
"The other party is obviously using other ministers to put pressure on the royal family, and at the same time, they are also creating public opinion, accusing the royal family of using violence and abusing royal power at will, which will have a great impact on Freya's succession to the throne."
President Rena worried.
However, Lin Xue didn't care, obviously Milton's death caused some shadows in the hearts of the other two dukes, so she didn't dare to show up, and only tricked others into complaining about the royal family, while she hid aside to watch the royal family's reaction.
Now Freya only needs to show the other party her tough side.
"It's very simple, whoever jumps the happiest will just slaughter him, anyway, it's some inconsequential ministers, and now Freya, what she needs is to be strong."
Lin Xue was right.
And now, if you want to shut everyone's mouth, you can only use force to deter.
So in the next few days, the figure of Liuying frequently appeared in the royal capital.
From barons to marquises, ministers were constantly killed.
Every time a minister dies, the palace will list a series of crimes, and on the same day, Lin Xue will bring someone to visit the house directly.
For a while, all the ministers and nobles were silent.
The accusation against the royal family was also directly suppressed.
At this time, Freya also issued the first order, summoning all the ministers in the royal capital to the palace to discuss the heir to the throne.
The outcome of the discussion speaks for itself.
Almost none of the frightened ministers jumped out to oppose Freya's becoming empress.
Even the two dukes remained silent.
Eventually, after the chief knight Pedro rushed back to the royal capital, Freya announced her accession to the throne on her third day.
She became the empress of the Hossman Empire and the first empress of the Orn Continent for countless years.
As soon as Freya ascended the throne, she ordered the integration of the royal capital.
Due to the drastic reduction in the population of the royal capital, he ordered a large number of people to be relocated from nearby villages.
At the same time, Lin Xue also took out the red potion she made and sold it to Freya, and Freya sent someone to dilute the potion to a normal ratio and sell it to the surrounding neighboring countries.
This also allowed Lin Xue and Freya to gain a lot of wealth accumulation.
An ordinary pharmacist, one medicinal herb can only refine three potions, and the medicinal effect is not comparable to that made by Lin Xue at all.
And the same medicinal herbs, if Lin Xue came to refine them, he could get three potions and three pills.
Moreover, the potion has extremely high medicinal ingredients, and after dilution, it can be adjusted into the normal proportion of potions in the Orn Continent, which can become as much as nine parts, which is directly tripled.
It can be seen that it is profitable.
Stripped of her financial problems, Freya set out to develop her henchmen.
Originally, Freya left Lin Xue a duke position, but Lin Xue directly refused.
The reason is naturally that Lin Xue has little interest in politics.
And recently, Lin Xue found a new job.
Because Lin Xue destroyed Navarro's conspiracy in the first battle of the royal capital, and Lin Xue won the championship of the academy competition before, her strength is already obvious to all.
The academy directly made an exception to issue Lin Xue a fifth-level magician badge, and hired Lin Xue to become a part-time teacher of the Academy of Magic.
Lin Xue is still a little interested in being a teacher.
Mainly, I just felt new and wanted to try what it was like to be a teacher.
However, just when Lin Xue was thriving in the academy, Freya summoned Lin Xue again.
Due to the greed of many countries due to the sale of a large number of potions to neighboring countries, and there are rumors that the Horsman Empire has just suffered a heavy blow, and at this time the national strength is the most empty, many countries have started the idea of the Horsman Empire.
Among them, the August Empire, which was closest to the Hossman Empire, directly raised more than 200,000 troops and drove to the front line.
The two countries confronted each other, and a major war was about to break out.
