Chapter Ninety-Five: Verbal Confrontation
Zhu Ping had already guessed that they were going to exert pressure, so he made some preparations in advance to deter them.
Warn these nobles that wizards are no longer invincible!
The Noble Council started the moment Zhu Ping entered the door, and as for his prompt at this time, "Can the Council start?"
In fact, it is equivalent to declaring the victory of the preliminary encounter.
Seeing that no one took the initiative to speak, Zhu Ping continued: "After all, the death of the old king is something that none of us want to see, but sadness is sadness, the rules set by the king before are all the same, and the rules cannot be messed up." ”
When the nobles heard Zhu Ping's words, they couldn't help but have the urge to scold, this is too shameless!
Zhu Ping, completely ignoring the indignant expressions of some nobles, turned his gaze to the people of the king's faction, and said:
"King John Orlanton thinks, like Baron Smith, Baron Laurent...... Toiled.
Recently, it has not been peaceful, and the private defense of your family castle has been in disrepair, so I will give you 500 gold coins to repair the castle's defense. ”
The nobles of the king's faction who were named looked at each other, showed shocked expressions, and nodded in agreement: "Thank you for the reward from His Majesty the King." ”
For them, five hundred gold coins is secondary, and the phrase "repair the castle defense" is the point, and the hidden meaning of the words is that when Zhuping Hall is in power, he is willing to give them the corresponding military power.
Xiao Nong and Lin Zheng wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Zhu Ping with deep eyes, but they couldn't make a sound for a long time, and they didn't know how to respond to this move.
It's like two people playing Go playing chess with each other, and suddenly one of them comes and says that he wants to play backgammon.
They don't understand why Zhu Ping did this now.
It would be enough to put John Orlanton on the throne, after all, it is not uncommon in the history of Orlanton to have such a delay.
Use the heirs of the previous generation of nobles as a shield, temporarily put yourself in the background, and when you accumulate enough strength, you can claim the king.
This act is a covert seizure of power.
However, Zhu Ping delegated power to the nobles of the king's lineage.
What is this operation?
The two big nobles don't understand, isn't Zhu Ping afraid of raising tigers if he does this? Isn't he afraid that after the aristocratic power is too strong, he will rebel against him?
The ass decides the brain, and if they were asked to choose a thousand times, they would not have made such a choice.
Xiao Nong was clear-minded, he sensed that Zhu Ping's choice was a show of weakness, thinking that Zhu Ping thought that he was inferior to him and Lin Zheng, and was making concessions in power.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said with a smile: "Baron Hall, as a baron with a fief, it is not decentful for you to live in the palace for a long time!"
However, Sir Ben is also very sad about the news that the castle of the Hall family has been destroyed, so how about Sir Ben decide to give you some money to help you rent a house? ”
This is the law of the jungle.
The predator will pounce mercilessly at the slightest hint of the opponent's concession, plundering, and they only need to plunder.
Talking to the nobles about peaceful coexistence is like a lamb recommending to a jackal, tiger and leopard how delicious the grass is......
Amusing!
The corners of Zhu Ping's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said with a smile: "Don't bother Viscount Xiao Nong, after Sir Ben checked it yesterday, there is a large amount of gunpowder idle in the palace, I have to help clean it up."
Viscount Smallon, do you think I'm doing the right thing? ”
"You dare!" Xiao Nong was shocked, and the anger on Zhu Ping's face could not be hidden.
They fought for the throne, for the great wealth of being kings, and for the tall palace, which symbolized royal power.
If Zhu Ping blows it up to the sky, they fight back and forth, what else are they fighting about, won't it be a joke?
He was also angry because he knew that Zhu Ping really dared, because Zhu Ping had successfully sent Hall Castle to the sky mercilessly, and what else did he dare not do.
Until now, there are still remnants of sparks there that have not been extinguished.
Hall Castle, which has been passed down for generations, says that it will be blown up, so it is not impossible for him to blow up the royal palace.
Lin Zheng's habitual waiter-like professional smile on his face also faded a little at this moment, and asked, "Since the king has fallen, what about the other rules he made before?" ”
"It's business as usual." Zhu Pingdi's answer is simple and straightforward, and it is still this sentence.
Lin Zheng's eyes were sharp, and he asked: "As usual, how should the barons who originally had a relationship with the king continue as usual."
After all, John Orlanton is not the original King of Orlanton. ”
After saying that, he looked at John, who was trembling beside him, and showed undisguised disdain for the boy who couldn't hold up the wall in the mud.
Lin Zheng's words are provoking the relationship, not only the relationship between John Orlanton and Zhu Ping, but also the greed in the heart of Sir who originally belonged to the king's lineage.
Since Zhu Ping is playing with fire.
Then he Lin Zheng completely lit the fire in Zhu Ping's hand to see if he could still play well.
Zhu Ping glanced at Lin Zheng, then glanced at the area of the nobles' seat that belonged to the king's faction, and replied without thinking: "Of course it is...... It's business as usual.
After all, King Orlanton is still sitting here! Isn't it? ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire noble council hall began to fall into a swarm of discussions.
The baron of the king's faction suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and this sentence meant that Zhu Ping would not only not purge their group of defenseless nobles, but would also treat them more favorably.
The king fell, and when he fell, he fell!
Even if they are in the king's lineage, these petty nobles may not have any loyalty, and the truly loyal nobles have fallen along with King Orlandon.
And Zhu Ping's last sentence is the most ingenious.
King Orlanton sits here!
That's right!
They are loyal to the King of Orlanton, what does it have to do with Orlandon!
Their allegiance is only to a throne, a symbol, but does it matter who sits in the seat?
The barons of the national vein exchanged in a whispered voice.
However, at this time, the two barons had not noticed that when Zhu Ping finished saying this, it was not only the nobles of the king's faction who were excited, but all the nobles present had very wonderful faces.
Obviously, the three nobles had not heard of the phrase "people do not suffer from widowhood, but suffer from inequality".
What will the nobles of the King's faction think after they gain military power?
What Zhu Ping did seemed to be a concession, and it seemed that he was making concessions everywhere, but in fact, he had already planted a bomb for the two big nobles.
The parliament ended in a hurry.
This time the Council of Nobles was a temptation.
If they test the weakness of Zhu Ping's side, they will ruthlessly launch an attack, even a war, but unfortunately, Zhu Ping prevaricated back in a way that others did not expect, and did not give them any breakthrough.
After the meeting, Lin Zheng walked out with Xiao Nong and Zhu Ping.
Zhu Ping talked and laughed with them, without the slightest contradiction, and the new King of Orlandon, John, left behind the three of them and followed them closely.
Approaching, the nobles of the king's line left the table in a hurry after the big man left, with a joy on his face that could not be hidden.
The remaining two barons of the great noble faction in the room looked at each other.
One of the barons was reluctant to speak, but finally said, "Sir Ben's castle is in disrepair, and needs to hire some men, but the Noble Mutual Aid Society ...... there."
Baron Lippi saw that there was a discussion, so he decisively interjected: "Baron Hall agreed to the agreement so heartily at the beginning, and now such a small request, if you don't give it, it will be too untrustworthy!"
I'm sure Baron Hall is not such a person. ”
When the other nobles heard Lippi's words, they all showed disdain, Lippi was still provoking Hall everywhere a few days ago, and now the Hall family has turned the tables, and he is the first person to go up and hug his thighs.
I really don't want any decency at all!
Of course, they scolded and scolded, hugged their thighs without being ambiguous at all, and discussed with each other in a whisper, preparing to form a celebration banquet to celebrate Zhu Ping...... Oh no, it was King John who ascended the throne.
……
Outside the council hall.
Zhu Ping walked out of the hall and was instantly protected by five hundred soldiers, like iron buckets, and then the group had no intention of staying, and hurried towards the palace.
