Falfan only felt his head go blank. From the moment I entered the council chamber, everything went weird. The successive immortal operations of Mitchlin and Earl Naby have made him never come back to his senses.

"Layton Farfan?"

But Falfan was a man with a big heart after all, and after thinking about his previous experiences in his mind, he found the key point that could tie everything together.

"Count Naby is not my father? What is Leighton Izziel? Am I a prince? ”

Suddenly realizing his identity, Farfan was inexplicably frightened. He couldn't accept his identity so quickly, first from an ordinary commoner to the illegitimate son of an earl, and then to the orphaned prince of the previous monarch.

"If that's true......"

Falfan couldn't help but look at Count Naby, looking at the tarnished eyes and the strange smile on his face. He knew exactly how hard he had used that punch just now, so Count Naby couldn't have died so easily.

"Suicide? Must it look like it's dead at my hands? ”

The more Farfan thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He looked at the ministers who were cheering for the rest of the catastrophe and the miserable body of the king on the wall.

"Is this trying to make me king? Why? For that Layton I've never met? ”

Where had Farfan experienced such a ridiculous thing and was about to be put on the throne without his knowledge? So sure I'm going to be king?

"Layton Farfan?"

Hearing someone call out this unfamiliar and familiar name, Farfan looked at him with a complicated expression. I saw that the ministers who had removed the threat to their lives had all returned to their usual calm demeanor.

"He looks like your father."

The Minister of Ceremonies looked at the young man in front of him, and his face, which was carved out of a mold, made him a little dazed. Twenty years ago, as the last king of the Kingdom of Leiden, Leiden Izzellor was a young and promising monarch.

"It's a pity that I was in a hurry."

At the age of seventy-eight, he is clear about the crooks of kingdom politics. It's just that because of his own personality factors, he won't choose to participate in it.

As for the question of the next king, although it is known that Count Nabi did not directly persecute him before, it was because he was needed as an introduction to allow the minister of the kingdom to smoothly recognize Leiden Falfan's legitimate succession to the throne. But compared to Bai Nuli's unformed descendants, Farfan, who also has the blood of the Leiden family, is obviously more suitable.

"Is this reincarnation?"

The Minister of Ceremonies couldn't help but recall the bloody usurpation of the throne by Bai Noulli back then, which was not much different from today. Just as he was about to deal with Farfan's succession, a loud shout suddenly sounded outside.

"We ask to see the King! Let the king give us a satisfactory explanation! ”

"We must see the King! Taxes must be reduced! ”

"Get the king out!"

"Otherwise, there's no guarantee of what we'll do!"

……

"Osterch was defeated so easily? Even the fortress of Mingus fell into the hands of the rebels? ”

After the ministers got the battle report, they all looked incredulous. They couldn't believe that the strength of the rebel army would be so strong, and the central army of the kingdom plus the three mercenary regiments couldn't defeat it!

"The question is what to do now? The rebels demanded negotiations, and had to meet the king and have him personally recognize the final negotiated terms. ”

"But where did we get the king?"

The king of the kingdom of Leiden had just been torn down from the wall by the gathered soldiers, and was lying peacefully in the side room of the hall.

"Do they have to see the king? Aren't we, the marquises, counts, and viscounts, enough to negotiate with them? ”

"They only recognize the king."

"Where do we go to find a king now?"

"It's not without ......"

Hearing the words of the Minister of Ceremonies, the rest of the courtiers all looked at Farfan thoughtfully. As the saying goes, the hands of people are short, and the mouth of cannibalism is short, and they can be regarded as being saved by Farfan. And is it the son of Layton Izziel? It is also the orthodoxy of the kingdom.

"Leiden Falfan, you also know that the situation in the kingdom is very bad right now, and the rebels have arrived in the royal capital to surround the palace. I ask you, would you like to take the temporary position of king to negotiate with the rebels? ”

Falfan didn't know whether he should go or not, and he wasn't ready to accept this sudden "generous gift".

"As long as their demands are not too excessive, if the rebel army can withdraw from the royal capital and disband and repatriate, you will be considered king even if you have fulfilled your duties as king."

……

"I'm the leader of the Resistance, Krami Bekele."

"King Leiden, Leiden Farfan."

Falfan didn't know what was going on with him, so he was sent by the ghost to answer the task of the temporary king. At this time, he and the rebel leader Bekele briefly exchanged introductions, and then walked into the makeshift negotiation room with his entourage.

"You nobles should be well aware of the current situation. Therefore, you must agree to the following conditions, or you will ......"

Bekele was not at all prepared for normal negotiations, and was ready to complete the plan straight to the point.

"First, the kingdom must abolish unreasonable taxes and promise not to impose them and any other taxes that have been increased without warranty, that is, on this piece of paper."

Bekele handed Farfan a piece of paper.

"Second, the kingdom must compensate the rebels for their losses. These include reparations for lost wars, bereavement reparations for the fallen in battle, and reparations for oppressed and mutilated civilians. Among them, the compensation of the common people can be offset by the reduction of normal taxes and the construction of the kingdom's popular infrastructure. War and bereavement compensation must be in cash Bailey, not jewelry and antiques. ”

Hearing the second request, all the nobles had some opinions, but unfortunately the situation was not as good as the people, so they could only be silent and not refute.

"Third, some of the most heinous officials and nobles must be dealt with openly and given an account to the people. That is, the people who are written on this paper also have the sins they have committed, and they are all real. ”

"What?"

"Are you kidding?"

"You still want to judge the nobles?"

"It's impossible!"

"It's all quiet!"

As the only remaining marquis of the kingdom, the Minister of Ceremonies can basically be regarded as the largest nobleman among all now. (In my setting, there is no duke in addition to a large kingdom.) For example, the country of flowers has it. ）

"Please continue."

Seeing that the Minister of Ceremonies had told all the nobles to obediently shut up, Bekele only smiled slightly, as if the excited rebuttal of these nobles had not happened at all.

"As for the last point, it is the handling of the rebel army, which you are most concerned about. In principle, we agreed to disband the repatriated soldiers, but ......"
