The historical prototype of the public grace decree mentioned by Lin Fan comes from the Tui En Decree issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and it is by virtue of this Tui En Decree that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismantled the privileges in the hands of the major nobles, so as to achieve true centralization of power and achieve the prosperity of the Han Empire.

It's just that even with the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the Tui'en Decree was implemented, it encountered great resistance, and even the rebellion of the vassal king alone occurred many times because of this, and in the end, it was reluctantly implemented after several suppressions.

The Tui En Order is indeed a weapon to strengthen the power in the hands of the emperor, but it depends on the person who uses it, and the emperor with strength can naturally use it to gain greater power, but if the strength is insufficient, then it can only become a joke in the end.

In the face of Lin Fan's edicts, of course, King Haraus could not be moved, but judging from the situation of the major nobles, they would definitely resist to the death, and if the king chose to force it, his strength would not be able to suppress the other nobles, and then he would really have fun.

Of course, Lin Fan can't guarantee that everything will unfold according to his expectations, but no matter how it will change in the end, in short, if you bury a nail first, there will always be a harvest in the end.

………………………………

The farce ended, after listening to Lin Fan's words, the nobles present were complicated in their hearts, but the banquet continued, after all, although the Shenlong Empire described by Lin Fan was magnificent, it was too far away from them, and people paid more attention to what they could see in front of them.

Seeing that Lin Fan happened to be free, Dale William took the opportunity to step forward: "Hey, Sir Lin Fan, what a beautiful description, I didn't expect that there was such a powerful empire in the world, it's unheard of!" ”

Lin Fan smiled and nodded: "Well, yes, we always like to sit in the well and watch the sky, I don't know if you are ......"

"Oh, my name is Dale William, I'm a lord, a nobody, you haven't heard of it!"

While introducing himself, Dale William stared at Lin Fan's expression tightly, only to see that Lin Fan didn't look different, just thought for a moment, and then showed a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, it's Lord Dale William, don't think of me as too lonely, you're the son of Count Claes, the heir of the future family, how could I not have heard of it!"

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Dale William's face was slightly unswerving, after all, for many people, they would prefer others to remember him himself, rather than the son of so-and-so, so wouldn't it seem that they themselves were very incompetent.

However, seeing Lin Fan's natural appearance, Dale William couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that what he had done was not exposed.

Lin Fan smiled slightly on the surface, but secretly sneered in his heart, for the guy Dale William, although this was the first official meeting, Lin Fan had already heard of him, the guy who betrayed the Fox caravan and killed Freya's father, isn't it the person in front of him!

However, this person's identity is very important, as Lin Fan said before, his father is Earl Claes, as the heir of a top aristocratic family, Dale William's influence should not be underestimated, otherwise Fawkes would not have chosen to bribe him to obtain a share of the auxiliary secret medicine.

It's just a pity that Fawkes still hasn't figured out the true face of the aristocracy, Dale William has long coveted Freya, and the final tragedy is inevitable.

Since Lin Fan chose to accept Freya and Old John, then Lin Fan is already on the opposite side of Dale William. Of course, now Lin Fan is the standard king's party, and the two sides are originally hostile to each other, and now they are just too much debt.

It's just that there is still a difference between personal feud and factional disputes, factional disputes are both antagonistic and cooperative, and personal enmity is only life and death.

However, Lin Fan is now the time to develop as low-key as possible, and there is no benefit in tearing his face with Dale William, so Lin Fan did not move to hide his inner emotions, pretending to be completely unaware of what Dale William had done, and chatting with him very happily, so that he could be completely reassured.

During the chat, Dale William asked curiously, "Oh, I heard that Lin Fan has a new mistress, a little girl named Freya, is this true?" ”

Hey, hey, hey, I'm not at ease with myself, and I'm still testing myself! Lin Fan couldn't help sneering twice in his heart, but the surface was still like a spring breeze.

"Oh, no, no, no! Freya is not my lover, she is my new concubine, and in our place, the concubine has an official title, and her status is equal to that of Madame, so she is also called Madame Ru, so you can't belittle my darling, you should call her Madame Freya. ”

Dale William said in amazement, "Oh, is it? Your customs are really peculiar, we can only marry a legal wife here, of course, there is nothing for a lover, you can have as many as you want, but illegitimate children have no inheritance, and at the same time, they are not recognized and accepted by other nobles. ”

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Ou Dou, that can't be helped, I think it may be due to our marriage tradition there." After all, the Shenlong Empire is so large, and the rudimentary regulations are already difficult to meet the needs of the rule, so the more powerful the nobles, the more they need to unite more forces, and marriage is the best way to solve this problem. ”

Lin Fan had always been the focus of the banquet, and many people had focused their attention here, but when they heard Lin Fan making an astonishing remark again, the nobles couldn't help but show a look of interest, and some people even quietly approached him.

"Marriage?" Dale William was curious for a moment, and couldn't help but ask directly.

Lin Fan nodded and said: "Yes, it is a marriage, in order to be able to unite with each other, the nobles can marry several wives, and there are also concubines with the same status as their wives as a supplement, which is used to appease and accommodate the small and medium-sized nobles under their command." ”

"The more powerful the nobles, the more wives they marry, especially His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, who has to collect thousands of concubines in total, and almost all major families will send their family bloodlines into the palace, so that everyone competes fairly, and whoever has the bloodline may become the next heir to the empire."

After listening to Lin Fan's narration, all the nobles couldn't help but be amazed, there was such an operation, the male nobles of the Shenlong Empire were so happy!

"Oh, is it? That's pretty good! But I've heard that this ...... of yours Oh, it's Madame, it seems that the family is in a big disaster, and it is said that you rescued her? ”

Dale William was obviously suspicious, so in the end, he couldn't help but continue to probe, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why do you say this person is so annoying!

However, Lin Fan still had to fight his spirit, and continued to say to Dale William: "Oh, yes, that hateful Black Wind Thief, what a gang of vicious robbers, they actually robbed Freya and their caravan, fortunately I arrived in time, this can save my little baby, otherwise I will lose her forever." ”

"Black Wind Thief! That's a really lawless bunch, and it's said to be pretty good. ”

"That's it, the guy in the lead is still a knight-level powerhouse! However, in front of my 'Steel-Armored Behemoth', the fragile was like a child, and it was directly crushed by me, leaving no corpse behind. That's fine, I'll avenge Freya and them. ”
