Chapter 65: Protecting the Princess in Time of Danger
Zhou Wei and Zhang Luoyi still fight monsters and level up every day, and when they come back from leveling, they will inspect the imperial city. Everyday life is simple and fulfilling. In the blink of an eye, five days passed quickly.
Zhou Wei, Zhang Luoyi, Luoshui Susu, Jianxing Tianxia and others came to the gate of the palace early in the morning, in order to prevent accidents and momentum. The Supreme of the World and the Holy Maidens League each sent a group of 1,000 people to the outside of the palace road, and they set up two teams to stand guard. Suddenly, there were swords and guns outside the imperial city.
The 10 great lords each led a few of their retinues into Muyue City at this time, and they saw that there were soldiers standing along the way of Muyue City. All the way to the entrance of the palace. It's like a great enemy. Some lords were still a little weak in their hearts when they saw this formation, and cold sweat kept breaking out on their faces.
After taking a look, Prime Minister Kax said lightly: "Lords, don't be too nervous, just follow me."
The lords were hoping that someone would come out and take the lead, so they followed the prime minister Kax into the palace, which was full of one step and one post, three steps and one sentry. Patrols also pass by from time to time. It can be described as a deep guard. Most of the lords nervously followed behind the Prime Minister Kax. Their group soon entered the Great Hall of the Imperial City. Princess Padia sits on the throne,
Today's meeting was presided over by Lord Watt, the chief of the guard of Princess Padia, who saw that the 10 lords had arrived. He first stood up and said: "Lords, I summoned you all to Muyue City today, mainly to discuss the issue of Her Royal Highness Princess Padia ascending the throne as the queen of our Kavaniya Kingdom. Since the first king has passed away, the royal orthodoxy is only a princess, and there is no one else. The kingdom cannot be left without a king for a day, so now Princess Padia is the only legitimate heir to the throne. Lords, come and meet our new queen and draw your swords and swear allegiance to our Majesty Queen Padia! ”
Most of the lords standing under the main hall did not move, you look at me, I look at you.
Not right! Do you rebels want to rebel when you stand still and meet our new Majesty the Queen? "Lord West, who has always defended Princess Padia, spoke first.
I object, according to the laws of the kingdom: the new king must be approved and recognized by our 10 lords when he ascends the throne, and at least more than half of the lords can become the new king, but you can all see, even a 15-year-old yellow-haired girl also wants to be the king. Will she be able to run the country well? Obviously, she couldn't do it. I absolutely disagree. ”
Many lords saw that Prime Minister Kax spoke out, and they all sided with Prime Minister Kax. The lords kept talking, and from the voices, most of the lords were for their own future interests, and they did not approve of Princess Padia being king. Of course, there are some lords who are neutral and wait-and-see. There are even fewer lords who support Princess Padia as king. In the end, the final vote had to be held in accordance with the law of the Kingdom of Kahania: the resolution of the princess to be king. The result was 5 votes against, 2 in favour and 3 abstentions. The resolution was not adopted.
So what to do? There must be a king in this country! So some unscrupulous lords suddenly proposed: "Prime Minister Kax, who has contributed the most to this country, has lost the princess at present." There is no longer a qualification to be elected Queen. Then the new king of the Kingdom of Kavaniya should let the prime minister of Kax be the prime minister, so that everyone will be convinced. ”
As soon as this statement came out, it was strongly supported by the lords of Havatin, Portdor, Shatens, and Havidaq.
Zhou Wei, who was escorting Princess Padia, saw that it was not obvious that it had been discussed in advance! Here is the public negative royal family. Damn, the battle of this group of NPCs is really hard! In particular, the NPC Prime Minister Kax was simply bad, and the Prime Minister Kax couldn't help but be proud when he saw that there were several lords who openly supported him.
"Damn, what a traitor." The people around Zhou Wei have long been unaccustomed to it, and some people have already scolded them in a whisper.
Prime Minister Kax not only wanted to be king, but he actually said something even more shocking later. He also wants to marry Princess Padia as his wife, saying that this is still for the purity of the royal blood.
Oh my God! I've seen shameless, I haven't seen even more shameless, an old man, and delusional about both the country and the beauty, it seems that this old thing has been coveting Princess Padia for a long time, this old traitor's wishful thinking is really 6! ”
Prime Minister Kax's proposal was also strongly approved by the lords who supported him just now, and said that if the Prime Minister became the king, Princess Padia would be the queen, and this could be regarded as the Prime Minister's greatest care for the royal family!
Zhou Wei looked at some lords under the hall who were constantly kneeling and licking and currying favor with the Prime Minister, that is, a slave look, and then looked at Prime Minister Kax looking at the princess's confused gaze. Then I looked back and saw the princess's confused eyes now. The lords are all against the princess and do not support the princess, and she is also helpless.
Now the cries of Prime Minister Kax for the title of king overshadowed the princess. Now even Lord Watt, who is usually witty, has no choice but to stare dryly at the princess's side, and the royal family is weakened to the point where people are at the mercy of will. It is really sad and lamentable.
Zhou Wei thought to himself: Prime Minister Kax's treacherous plan must not be allowed to succeed. If Kax is really made king, will the princess and herself still have a way to survive in the future? Can he and the group of brothers who follow him still be able to gain a foothold in Muyue City? Don't forget that you had a serious conflict with Prime Minister Karks the other day! With that old thing's character, he will definitely not let himself go when the time comes. Now is the time when the princess is in danger, and it is time for someone to stand up and protect her.
"I am against Prime Minister Kax being king." With this sudden shout. Zhou Wei stepped forward.
Including Prime Minister Kax, the lords present were all stunned. Actually, they were also surprised, waiting for them to react.
Prime Minister Kax's eyes widened: "What are you, do you have a part in your speech here?" Don't give me back yet. ”
Hearing Prime Minister Kax say this, Zhou Wei could only hehehe.
Zhou Wei took a step forward and said: "I am the commander of the Imperial City Guards personally appointed by Her Royal Highness the Princess, this is the Imperial City originally under my control, and you actually told me that I am not qualified to speak here, isn't this nonsense?" ”
And you traitors and thieves, not long after the death of the first king, you did not want to support the princess here, but wanted to depose the princess, set yourself up as king, and expected to lose the royal family, and openly rebelled. Aren't you afraid that I will make this scandal of yours today known to the world? I've got you on video of that ugly face. If you still insist on going your own way. I'll immediately send people to tour the cities and towns to expose your plot. You know the consequences. ”
So what do you want?" Prime Minister Kax asked viciously.
"I don't want to do anything, and I don't want to use that video to threaten you, as the commander of the Imperial City Guard, I just want you lords to give the princess a fair chance again."
"What an opportunity, you can tell me."
I think the princess and the prime minister of Karks With the current situation, whoever becomes the king will cause the lords to be dissatisfied. In my opinion, the princess and the prime minister of Karks each took a step back and gave the princess a year to test, in which year, to see if she knew how to run the country. Isn't it a master? In addition, during this year, in order to avoid a civil war in the Kingdom of Kahavania, the princess, the lord and the lord cannot use the kingdom's army, and if necessary, they can only send knights to challenge the duel alone. Next year, we are still here, and we will have another king election. If our princess still can't do it, if she still can't get the support of your lords, you don't need to say it, the princess herself will take the initiative to abdicate and give way, I have nothing to say. What do you think! ”
I think it works."
It's only a year anyway! The time will soon be up, I'll see if it's okay. ”
Prime Minister Kax saw that most of the lords agreed with Zhou Wei's proposal, so he had to reluctantly agree. After the meeting was dismissed, the lords went back to their respective territories. Only Princess Padia, Watt, Zhou Wei, Zhang Luoyi, Luoshui Susu and others remained in the main hall.
Master Watt walked up to Zhou Wei and patted him on the shoulder: "Haha, it was really thanks to you just now, brother, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”
It was also out of helplessness that I came up with this delaying plan, I helped the princess this time, it is impossible to help her for a lifetime! The road ahead still depends on Her Royal Highness the princess herself. ”
"Nobody, your kindness to the royal family today, I will never forget it, and when I become the queen, I will not forget you."
"Princess, don't say that, I am your courtier, Her Royal Highness the princess had the grace of knowing the minister, the minister often felt in his heart, and he couldn't repay it, today for His Royal Highness the princess to solve the difficulty, it is the duty of the courtier, you must not take it too seriously."
Zhou Wei's noble qualities of modesty and loyalty have won Princess Padia's greater trust and favor. Zhou Wei and Princess Padia's friendship has risen again. When Zhou Wei saw it, he was naturally overjoyed.
