In the largest courtroom of the Supreme Court of the Empire, Claire I sat behind the judge, watching the trial of the three princes and the prime minister by the Supreme Judge of the Federation, the names of the trial reached more than three hundred, but there were only a dozen prisoners standing in the hall, and the rest would be heard and sentenced in prison.

The Supreme Judge, dressed in a glorious judge's robe and wearing a judge's yarmulus, announced: "The three princes and the prime minister instructed their subordinates to assassinate His Royal Highness Claire, the prince, the evidence is conclusive, and the crime is convicted!" The three princes and the prime minister killed His Majesty the former emperor, the evidence was insufficient, and the charges were not established! The three princes and the prime minister's party used their power to conspire to usurp power and the cholera dynasty, the evidence is sufficient, and they are convicted! ”

"Since the three princes themselves are members of the royal family, the Supreme Court will delegate their titles, titles, and all privileges to the Royal Home Office!" The judge said and bowed slightly to Her Majesty the Empress behind him, and then said: "The Prime Minister and his main traitor will be sentenced to death, and they will be executed on the same day!" ”

Many prisoners in the courtroom couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to Her Majesty the Empress: "I beg Her Majesty's forgiveness, please spare Her Majesty's life!" ”

Claire I, with a crown on her head and a silver silk hat inlaid with dazzling gemstones, stood up and said with a stern expression: "You are doing something but you are not seeking to do it, why should you forgive me?" I just want to show the world that my empire governs the country according to the law, and the law is not merciful! If there is such a treason crime in the future, I will kill my Titan Empire! ”

The empress will "kill everything" said sonorously and powerfully, which made everyone fearful. She then looked at the three princes who collapsed on the ground and said: "Although the charge of poisoning the first emperor by the three princes and the queen mother is not established, the crime of assassinating the prince is enough to be condemned to death, I announced the verdict in the name of the royal internal affairs office, in the name of the supreme patriarch of the royal family: the third prince can be exempted from the death penalty, and it is impossible to escape the crime, and he is sentenced to be assigned to a no one star, and he will be left to fend for himself, and all those who go to the rescue will be regarded as the three princes and the rest of the party will not be spared!" ”

The empress looked at the third prince expressionlessly, then stood up and turned to leave. Wearing the uniform of the Commander, Lei Luo immediately followed. After the empress ascended the throne, she had become extremely distrustful of people, neither the chamberlain Ash nor the intelligence chief Heidier could gain her enough trust, but Lei Luo, who lived and died with her several times, became her first close minister.

Even if Lei Luo is now the commander of the guards, he still occupies the quota of close guards, which made some rumors in the court for a while, secretly figuring out the relationship between the two, and defining Lei Luo as the first favorite minister!

None of these rumors could affect Empress Claire's own actions, and last night's guard, Lei Luo, naturally couldn't refute Empress Claire's decision.

Relo followed, and behind him was Sophia, the chief chamberlain. A few people quickly walked out of the Supreme Court, got into the luxury car, and heard Empress Clare ask, "Is the cabinet meeting ready?" ”

Sophia immediately replied: "It's ready, here is the list of people at the venue!" Ash said as he handed over a piece of paper.

The Empress took the list, stretched out her hand and said, "Pen!" ”

Sophia immediately took out the pen and handed it to the empress, only to see that the empress quickly marked three people in the marshal group, and then sketched on the list of some dukes and marquises, and then gave it back to Ash: "These three marshals, especially Huo Hening, are members of the Three Kings Party, you send someone to suggest that he had better resign himself, otherwise he will wait for me to do it myself!" ”

"As soon as Your Majesty comes to power, you will open a knife to the army, will the political situation be unstable, right?" Lei Luo couldn't help it anymore, since Empress Claire returned to the Titan Imperial Capital, she had wiped out all the personnel of the Three Kings Party, and in recent days, the number of people who betrayed the death penalty has reached hundreds, not to mention the officials who are on the wrong side in the vast territory of the entire empire, so the ministers of the empire will definitely fall into a panic!

"I'm a woman, do you think I'm going to do enough if I'm going to do it, and you men will take my words seriously?" Who knew that Lei Luo's words were like thunder, and Empress Claire said: "If an emperor wants to sit firmly in a position and effectively improve his status, he must show her decisiveness!" But don't worry, the first emperor and I have spent more than ten years searching for evidence of the Three Kings Party, and we promise that we will not catch the wrong person, at least the officials and nobles who are the victim of the party should be cleaned up! ”

"Uhh

Empress Claire said, "Now that the one who should be killed has almost been killed, it is time to be rewarded!" She smiled at Lei Luo as she spoke: "Save me from being called mean and unkind!" ”

The crowd soon arrived in the building where the cabinet meeting was held, and when the front guard pushed the door open, the most powerful people in the empire were already sitting inside. The military sat on the left, while the ministers sat on the right, and there were a few seats behind the long round table for the rest of the ministers.

As soon as Empress Claire entered, she heard the ceremonial officer say, "Welcome to the Empress!" Everyone stood up at once, then the military saluted and the minister bowed.

The Empress walked over to her seat and sat down, and said, "Sit down, everybody!" ”

The crowd sat down together, and the empress turned on the microphone and began to speak: "The empire has been mired in a variety of unstable factors after the rebellion of the Three Kings, and here I apologize to everyone!" The Empress stood up and bowed to the crowd.

"Your Majesty, how dare you, there are also ministers here, please Your Majesty Haihan!" Someone immediately said.

The Empress nodded and said, "Now that the Three Kings Party has basically been cleaned up, I know that many ministers are panicked and think that I am using the name of the military to purge all forces, but in fact, I will definitely thank the ministers who helped me when I was in danger!" ”

The empress added: "I can't ask too much about political matters and it's not easy to interfere, so I also announce the list of honors in the noble circle here!" "In the constitutional monarchy of the Titans, the emperor did not have much power to intervene in the political arena, but now the usurpation of power is the exception, and after the coup d'état, the parliament and ministers still have to continue to perform their respective duties. But the emperor had absolute nobility honors.

That is, I can't interfere more with who you let be promoted, but I can't interfere with whoever I am a nobleman and a nobleman who is promoted. It's like in high society, where the emperor is the supreme being; In the political arena, the emperor's privileges are no longer unique, and the subordinate political and military circles are equal to the emperor.

Therefore, when the new emperor ascends the throne, it is normal for the soldiers, ministers and nobles who assist him to ascend the throne to give lavish rewards. However, after obtaining the title of nobility, the nobles need to pay a certain amount of taxes to the royal family and parliament every year, the amount of which is calculated as a percentage of the income of the year. The inability of nobles to be exempt from tax is a major feature of the Titans, because nobles already enjoy many privileges in terms of social status, and it is normal to pay tribute every year according to the proportion of income, otherwise it will not be long before you eat and vomit the empire will raise a bunch of moths.

However, the royal family is also very stingy with the reward of the nobles, the last emperor reigned for two hundred years, and there was only one grand duke who was titled, that is, Lei Luo's grandfather Lei Zhan, there were more than a dozen marquises, and a number of small nobles did not care, most of them were meritorious titles, and they were not passed down from generation to generation.

It is also the practice of the empire for Empress Claire to do this, coupled with the fall of the Three Kings Party, the empress's courage and ruthlessness have made many ministers fearful, and everyone has no objections at the moment.

Empress Claire immediately asked her new chief chamberlain, Sophia, to take out a bunch of documents and distribute them to the ministers: "The nobles who helped me eliminate the rebels this time will all be promoted to a noble level, followed by a list of newly promoted nobles!" ”

The so-called aristocratic rank is because the Titan's title system is five levels: "duke, marquis, earl, son, and male", and also contains a lord title. The lord is a nominal nobleman, that is, he has absolute merit, but he does not give real power, but the status of the lord is extremely high, and most of them are obtained by the retired senators of the empire. The previous five levels were divided into three levels, namely first-class, second-class, and third-class titles.

For example, barons can be divided into first-class barons, second-class barons, and third-class barons, of which the first-class baron has the highest rank, and then one level is promoted to become a third-class viscount, and so on. The highest is the first rank of the Grand Duke, and most of them are obtained by the heirs of the direct royal family, such as Princess Claire is the first heir in line, and after becoming the emperor, the three princes and the former crown prince will be crowned dukes. It is likely that the third prince will become a first-class grand duke, also called a prince!

The status of the first rank grand duke is second only to the emperor in the aristocratic circle, just like the king of the kingdom, but in the era of constitutional monarchy, the power of the prince is greatly limited, and the emperor usually seals you after your death!

Lei Luo's grandfather Lei Zhan was posthumously awarded the title of first-class grand duke by the emperor after his death, and Lei Ting became a third-class marquis, plus his step-by-step rise, now the title is already a first-class marquis, and he has become a third-class grand duke when he is promoted to a level, and his status is outstanding!

"Your Majesty, it doesn't hurt to upgrade the title to one level, but in this case, three marshals will all become dukes!" The minister said: "The Titans have not been knighted in large numbers for nearly a thousand years!" ”

Empress Claire looked at him, her eyes blinking, and said, "I know that you are dissatisfied with the military representatives' lavish rewards this time, but I didn't expand their power, I just gave them some honorary titles, isn't that okay?" ”

"The Ministers of State looked at each other, and they all knew what the Empress meant: I don't extend the power of the military, but you have to let me give them something else, right?"

"In this case, we have no doubt about His Majesty's decision, but there are already noble children among these newly promoted nobles, which is not good!" The ministers deliberated and said.

"Who are you talking about?" The empress looked at everyone: "Are you talking about Lei Luo, the son of Marshal Thunder?" I can tell you that I'm low enough to be crowned a third-class baron of Leiluo! ”

"When I was hunted down by the Three Kings Party, everyone died, and only Lei Luo fought to the death in the face of a master stronger than himself to save my life, is my life not enough to make him a baron?"

Lei Luo's heart was instantly shocked, Mommy, why did you pull it on yourself?
