Chapter 805: Stands
The two barons slept well this night, which could be clearly seen from the dark circles under their eyes, and this was almost the same for the other barons. Except for Baron Moyang, who is still in good spirits, the other barons have not very good expressions, looking like they have been insomnia for many years.
"Lord Baron, the succession ceremony is about to begin, please come with us!" At about ten o'clock in the morning, it was rare for a waiter from Fuzhou to come and say.
"This Mutian is such a big shelf, and you really won't see us until the ceremony!" A baron said in a weird way, this baron is full of resentment in his heart, he was taken aback yesterday and didn't say anything, but he didn't even see Mu Tian's face, which is really infuriating.
Everyone is a baron, it stands to reason that we are here, let alone Mu Tian, even if it is Lin Ankang, then we should come to greet us in person to show respect.
But the result was good, these two men never showed up from beginning to end, and they sent some subordinates to receive them, which made these barons very unhappy. The little people don't care about the face, they only care about the real things. But for these big people who don't have to worry about food and clothing, this is the biggest anger.
But at this time, although these big men had resentment in their hearts, except for the baron with the biggest temper, none of them really showed a bad face, but brought a faint smile.
This is the credit of yesterday's deterrence, after seeing the terrifying city walls and defense system of Pingyang City yesterday, as well as the assassins all over the city, these big men instantly quieted down, where do they still have the idea of going against Mu Tian in their hearts, just thinking about not angering this terrifying guy, so that they don't know how they died.
Led by the attendants, the barons, with false smiles on their faces, walked together towards the predetermined ceremony venue. And what they didn't know was that right above their heads, Mu Tian was quietly observing them.
"Mu Tian, I said that although we want to scare them first, you don't need to treat them like this. This time they are really resentful of us, I am afraid that the future will ......" Standing with Mu Tian was also the ancient queen, looking at these barons, the ancient queen said with some concern.
"Don't worry, there's nothing to think about in the future!" Hearing the words of the ancient queen, a smile appeared on the corner of Mu Tian's mouth, "These guys are all old foxes, and they can endure it the most." Even if they are humiliated today, but with the fear of yesterday, these guys will decide to endure and wait until later to take revenge on us! ”
"Since you know this, you know that they will definitely retaliate against us in the future, and you know that they will definitely forbear, then why do you still humiliate them?" The ancient queen asked puzzled.
"Because I just want them to take revenge on them, otherwise how can I justify destroying them all in the future?" Mu Tian smiled even more happily, looked at the back of these barons' heads and said, "Queen, if we really want to achieve something great in the future, then Yangzhou must be our foundation, and Leiyang County is the foundation of the foundation, our core territory, and we will never allow the slightest problem to occur!" ”
"These nobles have been entrenched in this city for hundreds or thousands of years, and they are deeply rooted, and they will definitely not be able to really have the same heart with us, even if they are happy to serve them today, as long as someone fiddles a little in the future, then they are bound to become a knife in our hearts!"
"So all these people have to die, all these people's families have to be destroyed, and all the nobles of these cities must be replaced by our people, only in this way can we build Leiyang County into an iron bucket, and there will never be any problems!" When Mu Tian said this, a resolute expression appeared on his face.
"Do you really want to do this?" The ancient queen hesitated a little, but finally closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.
"Queen, none of these nobles have a good thing, and I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, I will judge these nobles with fair laws, if their hands are really clean, they have not done anything bad, and they have not been stained with any blood, I will not do anything to them, I will give them a quiet and peaceful life!"
"Also, this is what I said to you, don't let a second person know about it except you!" Mu Tian seemed to feel that the ancient queen was a little unhappy, and held the ancient queen's hand and said.
"I know!" Queen Gu nodded, and the expression on her face looked much better.
————————————————
Lin Ankang's succession ceremony was naturally held in the large garden of the Baron's Palace, which is also the largest building in the Baron's Palace, and the area is two or three times larger than the Baron's Palace itself, and it feels like the Baron's Palace is actually just an embellishment of this garden.
And as the core of the whole garden, it is naturally the tile god wood of Pingyang City, at this time this tile god tree has been lit up, there are countless soldiers guarding, and at the same time, not far from the god tree, thirteen high platforms are placed, which are obviously for the barons of various cities to be seated.
However, after the barons entered the garden, their eyes instantly widened, not that they found that there was something wrong with the garden itself, but that the 13 high platforms shocked the barons.
There are many places in the Shenmu Continent and the earth that are actually the same, such as the fact that the official university crushes people to death, and that is the same. In front of the marquis, the baron is an absolute subordinate, and all aspects must be fully subordinated to the marquis, and even the slightest place is not allowed to exceed the marquis's standards and prestige.
Take this succession ceremony as an example, even if the owner and protagonist of this time are the barons of Pingyang City, but when arranging the high platform, the high platform must be arranged in a goose shape, and there can only be one high platform with the highest position, the most luxurious decoration, and placed in the most central position facing the sacred tree, this is the position of the marquis.
As for the original master, at most, he could only be placed on the second seat on the right hand side of the marquis, and he would never dare to be even a little higher than the marquis.
But this time it's good, this time all the high platforms are actually lined up in a straight line, not only the height is the same, but even the size and decoration of the high platforms are the same, and the high platforms in all cities are actually the same specification, which shocked the barons, this Lin Ankang actually arranged the dignified Marquis of Leiyang County in a position of the same level as them.
Pingyang City actually put Nanjue and the Marquis in the same position, isn't this completely ignoring the rules and order of the nobility for tens of thousands of years, this is completely a slap in the face of the Marquis!
What shocked the barons even more was that when they got closer and took a closer look, they found that a flag representing the family emblem was hung high behind each high platform, and according to the distance between Pingyang City and the city, these families were assigned to different positions.
This is the practice of the aristocracy, and there is nothing to blame, but the problem is that the high platform in the middle of the 13 high platforms, and the flag hanging high behind it, is actually the family badge of the Lin family in Binh Duong City.
That is to say, the Lin family arranged themselves in the most central position of the 13 high platforms, and as for the family emblem of the Wind and Fire family, it was actually placed in the left-hand position.
Note that this is not yet a right-handed position, but a left-handed position.
Also like the earth, the Shenmu Continent is also accustomed to the world where the right hand is respected, so the first position on the right hand is often one rank higher than the first position on the left hand, of course, the first place on the left hand is higher than the second place on the right hand.
Don't underestimate the meaning of this location distribution, the significance of this is great, which means that in the Lin family...... No, in Mu Tian's eyes, he is not only the Marquis of Leiyang County, but he is not even the first in Leiyang County, and he is not even the third in Leiyang County...... At this moment, the first place on the right hand side of Pingyang City is actually the family badge of the Baron of Moyang City.
This Mu Tian is actually bold to this point, this is no longer a slap in the face of the Marquis, but a butt directly sitting on the face of the Marquis. The Wind and Fire Family must fight back, otherwise the face of the entire Wind and Fire Family will be completely lost.
"This Mu Tian is going to completely break with the Marquis!" Seeing this scene, Baron Mingyang said in horror.
"It's not just a break, I think it's a rebellion, I'm afraid it won't take a month or two for these two families to fight directly, and then our Leiyang County will inevitably fall into a war!" Baron Guiyang sighed and said.
"That brother, once these two families go to war, what will we do!" Baron Mingyang asked with some trepidation.
"Hmph, I can see that Mu Tian has engaged in so many battles and arranged so many war preparations, all of which are aimed at Leiyang County. No wonder he Mu Tian doesn't want the title of the baron of Pingyang City, the daring lover family doesn't fancy this position at all, what people want is the title of the Marquis of Leiyang County, he just wants to rebel! ”
"But it's not surprising, this is the world of great controversy, and today there is the first position on the potential list, and it has become the target of public criticism at this time, and it is impossible to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. It's better to make a complete fanfare, show all the equipment and strength, and completely lay down a piece of territory before the major forces have time to jointly strangle him! Baron Guiyang gasped and said, "This Mu Tian is decisive, it is indeed a masterpiece of a generation, if it were me, even if I could understand this truth, I would not have the courage to provoke the Marquis like this!" ”
"Good brother, these are not the point, the point is what should we do, should we sit on that high platform now, I think this is not a high platform at all, it is clearly an oven, if anyone's ass sits on it, I am afraid that it will be scorched directly!" Baron Mingyang said with a bitter face.
