"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Ye Lan smiled slightly.

"You... Can you call me Sophia, Miss Oran is too distant. ”

"Haha, of course you can. Then I'll call you Sophia from now on. ”

Sophia bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes staring at Ye Lan without blinking.

"Sophia, is there anything else you can do?" Ye Lan couldn't help but wonder a little when she saw that she had been staring at herself.

To Ye Lan's surprise, Sophia made a move he didn't expect next.

Sophia approached Ye Lan a few points, suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Lan on the face.

"Sophia, what are you doing here?" Ye Lan was taken aback.

"You... Don't think about it. I thank you for avenging my father's murder. Sophia blushed and stammered.

After speaking, no matter how Ye Lan reacted, he just turned his head and ran.

Sophia's face was hot at this time, and even she felt that she was too bold just now, so she kissed her when she was sent by the gods.

For Ye Lan, she couldn't figure out how she felt. Although she didn't spend much time with Ye Lan, Ye Lan's meticulous care still made her feel good.

But she also understands that Ye Lan takes care of herself so much, which has a lot to do with her appearance like Zhu Zhuqing. Despite this, she just thinks of Ye Lan whenever she is free, this kind of thought can't be stopped, and she doesn't know what's wrong with her, after all, she is a budding newcomer who has never been in love.

Ye Lan touched the position on his face that had just been kissed, and was a little stunned.

Did you get a forced kiss?

。。。。。。

The next day, the weather was hazy and the north wind was broad.

At this time, the entire Duchy of Oran also knew that the Grand Duke's younger brother Wright united with the Cangyue Kingdom to kill the Grand Duke and attempted to usurp the throne, but was discovered by General Reis in time and killed the traitor.

The coffin of the Grand Duke of Oran was set up in the Grand Duke's Mansion, and many princes and ministers and children of nobles came to pay respects, and several ministers who had a good relationship with the Grand Duke were even crying and crying. And on all sides were rows of guards, each with a white cloth tied around his waist. It's not just the guards who wear white cloths, everyone here has to wear white cloths.

When the Grand Duke died, all the people mourned together.

Outside the Grand Duke's Palace, countless nobles and people who came spontaneously knelt and cried loudly, everyone was sad for the death of the Grand Duke of Oran.

As far as the eye can see, the Grand Duke's Mansion is snow-white, like the scenery after a heavy snowfall in winter.

Sophia, on the other hand, knelt beside the coffin of the Grand Duke of Oran, her eyes red and swollen from crying. The pear blossom's rainy face is very pitiful.

The general Reis stood up first, came to the coffin, looked at it twice, and then said to the ministers below: "The Grand Duke died suddenly, and the whole country is mourning, but the country cannot be without a king for a day, and a new Grand Duke must be established today." ”

The ministers and nobles below all secretly said that the highlight of the day was to establish the new Grand Duke. The Grand Duke of Orlan has already hung up, and has little to do with them, but the new Grand Duke has a very great relationship with them, because it has a vital interest in them.

However, they already had a glimmer of thought in their minds about the candidate for the new Grand Duke. Looking at General Reis like this, there is no idea of seizing power. Then the candidate who can inherit the position of the Grand Duke is already coming out.

Except for Sophia, the adopted daughter of the Grand Duke, they could not think of anyone else who could inherit the throne.

Sure enough, Reis immediately took out an edict and read: "My brother rebelled, and I know that I can't escape this catastrophe, and the special legend is located in Sophia." Sophia is smart and kind-hearted, the principality is in her hands, Lone is also relieved, Lone hopes that all the ministers will work together to assist the new Grand Duke, so that the Principality will be peaceful and prosperous. ”

The content of the edict is not long, but the meaning is simple, that is, to name Sophia to inherit the unification.

This edict was naturally false, and Lacey understood it, and the princes and ministers also understood it, but no one objected to it at this time.

Everyone knows that the Grand Duke intends to pass on the throne to his adopted son Rice, but now that the Grand Duke and Rice are dead, only Sophia is qualified to ascend the throne, and this edict just makes Sophia's accession to the throne logical.

If you don't agree, then you want to rebel? Wright the traitor has only been dead for a day, forgot?!

Although the edict is fake, the people present are all high-level officials of the Principality of Oran, as long as they all agree, then this edict will become true, and no one will say anything, neither the surrounding countries nor the suzerain, the Heaven Dou Empire, can interfere in the state affairs of the Principality of Olan because of this.

Reis glanced at the ministers present and was relieved to see that no one had raised objections.

If he is against it, he will definitely kill him, but now this situation does not need to stain the mourning hall of his old friend with blood.

"Since everyone has no objections, then the funeral will be mourned in three days, and the new Grand Duke will ascend the throne in five days!" Lacey said.

"We will obey the orders of the Grand Duke." The ministers below said in unison.

Three days later, the mourning began, and the deceased Duke of Orlan was buried in Zhuling outside the city, where the soil was dry and there were many rocks, which was suitable for burial. Zhuling is also the burial place of the previous Orlan Grand Dukes, who began to recruit a large number of migrant workers to build a mausoleum for themselves at the beginning of his accession to the throne.

Outside the Zhuling Tomb are some villages, the people of these villages are the people who guard the tomb, their task for generations is to guard the tomb, every month someone will come to bring them daily necessities and money, by the way to check again whether the tomb has been entered.

In the past few days, Sophia and Reis have been busy with the funeral and enthronement, and Ye Lan and the three of them have nowhere to help, so they accompany them throughout the process, and they will go wherever Sophia goes.

Two days later, the new Grand Duke of the Principality of Oran was about to ascend the throne, and due to the rush of time and imperfect preparations, the Grand Duke's brocade robe was still made overnight. At the time of the funeral of the Grand Duke of Orland, nobles from all over the country had already arrived in the capital. After that, he did not return to the territory for the time being, and he would not leave until he had participated in the accession of the new Grand Duke.

Due to the urgency of time, the surrounding countries were not invited to come to the enthronement ceremony to watch the ceremony, and even to inform the suzerain, the Heaven Dou Empire, was to quickly pass the news of the new Grand Duke's accession overnight, and this time and again, the Heaven Dou Empire would definitely not have time to send people to attend the enthronement ceremony.

Today the weather is sunny and cloudy, with a slight breeze and very cool.

The principality is not qualified to build a royal palace, but it is not good to discuss the affairs of the court in the grand duke's mansion, so at the beginning of the establishment of Oran City, a large hall was built in the central area, named the Lizheng Palace, and even the Grand Duke's Mansion was not built in the center, but next to the Lizheng Palace.

The appearance of the Lizheng Hall is similar to the main hall of the previous dynasty of those kingdoms, but the palace of the kingdom is not only such a large hall, everyone is a palace group. But the principality can't, at most it can only build such a large hall for the court.

However, there are policies and countermeasures, although it is not allowed to build more palaces, but there are also many buildings around the Lizheng Palace, which are built according to the status of the Grand Duke, and will never be exceeded, saying that it is not a royal palace, but in fact it is not much different from the royal palace. But after all, there is no overstep, and the kingdoms and empires can't say anything.

The enthronement ceremony was held in the Ryō Hall.

Early in the morning, before dawn, one by one the officials entered the main hall through the palace gate, and everyone was closely inspected to try not to let a single person enter with weapons.

After dawn, the palace was busy, and everyone came in and out with smiles on their faces. When the auspicious time comes, he first worships the ancestors and ancestors, then puts on a custom-made maharake's brocade robe, and then picks up the Oran scepter, which symbolizes the power of the grand duke, and then accepts the worship of the officials.

When these procedures are completed, other unrelated personnel are sent back. Sophia and the ministers entered the council. Sophia had just ascended the throne, and she didn't know anything about the Duchy, so it was really difficult for her to deal with things now.

But fortunately, Ye Lan made arrangements in advance to let her know what to say today, so as not to leave a laughing stock.

Although Ye Lan has never been an emperor, he has never seen a pig run, hasn't he eaten pork yet? In the previous life, there were so many things and TV was not for nothing.

"Orphans and primary treasures, happy with the people, national tax exemption for one year, prisoners from all over the country are released, and death row prisoners can be released after ten years."

"The official position of each official remains unchanged, and each performs its own duties, but the amount is doubled, and the specific matters are arranged by the prime minister."

"Strengthen the expenditure of the principality's army property, and the borders should be heavily defended to prevent the entry of enemy countries."

"The Principality will set up an additional department as the Investigation Department, and the officials of the Investigation Department will be specially designed to inspect talents in the Principality, as long as there are talented people, whether they are poor or low, rich or noble, old and young, male or female, they can be officials in the Principality."

。。。。。。

Sophia had just begun to utter a series of policies that many ministers could not believe coming from the mouth of a teenage girl. Now they finally understand why Reis did not seize power, but instead put Sofia on the throne, which is simply too wise!

But there were still some ministers who were not happy, because the common people could be officials, and the advantage of these nobles was much smaller, and the interests of their nobles were touched. It's just that the great general Reis did not stand up against it, and they did not dare to stand up against it.

After all, the strength of this world is respected, and Reis, as the strongest person in the Principality of Oran, is still extremely deterrent.

As the saying goes, no one wants to be the first bird. The three new officials also burned three fires, and the three fires of the Grand Duke could not be burned, otherwise they would raid the family and destroy the clan.

Once everything is arranged, let them step back. The ministers were tired from a hard day's work, their legs were sore, and they were hungry and tired, and they wished to leave early, so when they heard the new Grand Duke let them go, they all shouted "Long live".

In this way, Sophia became the first female archduke in the history of the Duchy of Oran!

Sophia's accession to the throne did not cause the slightest wave in the surrounding countries, at most, the country's high-level discussions to see if they should send someone over to give a gift and congratulate the other party on his accession to the throne.

Although Sophia is a woman, there is no precedent for women to be in power on the mainland, and Sophia can only be regarded as the first female archduke of Oran, but not the first female archduke on the mainland.

After all, it's not their own country, and it doesn't matter who takes the throne to them. Moreover, there is also the suzerainty of the Heaven Dou Empire above, and it is impossible for everyone to start a large-scale battle, so there is no need to offend this new Grand Duke.
