Chapter 298: The Council of the Five Parties
readx;
The attendees all acquiesced in the reckless speech of the House Ghost, especially the Third Prince, Walter, who was optimistic and friendly in appearance and welcomed the House Ghost with a smile on his face, as if he had decided that the House Ghost was a supporter on his side.

"Would you like to sit down, then?" Gronos gestured to the seat next to him that belonged to Heck, and the two guards were moving the chair out of the way a little.
"Okay. The Academy Ghost sat in the position of the Minister of Intelligence, Heck, and Avi observed the other party from such a close distance, the other party's figure was no different from that of Silaneus, and the voice was very close. Avi didn't know if the Academy Ghost was friend or foe, he had always believed that the Academy Ghost had its own purpose, that they represented the interests of the common people, and if they were to obey the "God of Justice" as they claimed, then they would support Prince Bradley to become the Prince. ===Douluo Continent 3 Legend of the Dragon King/book/52261/===.
Wen Lisi clasped her hands to her chest, and she said in an impatient tone: "Even if there is one more mysterious person wearing a hood, my attitude and position are still the same! I say as the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Salins that the current Kingdom of Salins must be presided over by the king's eldest son Bradley, and there is no one more suitable than him, even if..." She paused slightly, Wen Lisi has not targeted her royal brother, but at this moment she still pointed out Walter's shortcomings, "Even Walter can't." Walter is still young, and the Duchy of Dramain has just returned home, and he still needs to exercise and study, and the huge kingdom of Sahlins needs to be handed over to Bradley, who has rich military experience, and during the time when King Byron and Queen Rosemund's illness are being treated, what the country needs is stability!
Wen Lisi's words were sonorous and logical, and many of the guards belonging to the queen's faction secretly agreed in their hearts, and even Walter's confidant Feremon was persuaded at a certain moment that Bradley was the most suitable person to stand up and lead everything.
"But—" Fremont, who was a little distraught, wanted to say something to retort, "But Prince Walter's..."
"However, there is an unanimous opinion and misunderstanding between Prince Bradley and the Queen," Guronos finally showed his position, "I don't approve of Prince Bradley becoming the Prince Prince for a very simple reason, first, the position of Prince Bradley should be appointed by King Byron himself, and second, I am afraid that Prince Bradley's prestige is not enough to rule everyone." ”
Wen Lisi snorted loudly, her eyebrows were already wrinkled, "Then ask your father immediately! Let your father decide! There is no need to say too much here! Anyway, no matter how suitable Brother Wang's conditions are, they can't meet the expectations of you guys, and the one who can't rule is you!"
Evan said, "King Byron is so ill that he can't speak, and the current king can't give any orders." ”
"Oh! I see, after giving the order to expel everyone, he left it alone," Marquis Roberto also began to be impatient, "The Kingdom of Salins is a kingdom ten times stronger than our Duchy of Delaman, so even if the dragons are leaderless, they are not afraid, anyway, the nobles and lords everywhere are able to be self-reliant, especially those border nobles who have been coveting our territory, they have no one in their eyes to a certain extent, and they think that the status of Archduke Webster is also lower than them!"
Gronos immediately answered, "Maybe we can consider dividing this responsibility evenly, not necessarily all on one person... Just like the establishment of the 'Capital Oversight Council'. ”
Roberto's complaints actually had little effect on what was to be decided now, but Avi could hear the insidious intentions in Gronos's answer-the power behind the "Capital Overseer" were all the border nobles of the Kingdom of Sarins, and instead of trying to stabilize the situation, those nobles expanded their power now that the capital was out of control. If Roberto's words were true, the border nobles close to the Duchy of Dramain must have been the most ambitious, and instead of stopping Amsol's military campaign, they set their sights on the weakened Duchy of Delamain. Their power will grow in the midst of chaos in the center of the kingdom, and perhaps later the Ancient Ronos will come up with other ways to divide power among the frontier nobles.
Sure enough, in his capacity as the presiding officer of the meeting and the commander-in-chief of the capital's army, Guronos immediately proposed to set up a "five-party parliament", referring to the political system of the Republic of Marvil, and distributing the decision-making power of the kingdom to the hands of the representatives of the five parties, and then making decisions on major matters in the form of voting.
"Although we are a kingdom, we are also well aware of the times when King Byron will be unable to govern this huge country on his own... Perhaps now is the time for change. Avi didn't expect this important minister who controlled the military power of the capital to be so direct, and judging from the expressions of the three princes and princesses, they didn't expect that Ancient Ronos, who had always obeyed King Byron and Queen Rosemund, would do this.
Evan, who represented King Byron, did not speak out against it, as he seemed to have known about the proposal made by Gronos, and it is possible that Evan also agreed with it.
"It's reassuring not to let any one person take power," Walter agreed first, "and if the President proposes a five-party parliament, what are these five parties?"
"Evan and I are the ministers of King Byron, the guardians of the capital, Prince Bradley, Princess Winlith and the nobles of the west of the kingdom, Prince Walter and the nobles of the south-east of the kingdom, the nobles who guard the borders, and the nobles of the north. And..."Guronos glanced back at Jieko and "Sunflower", "as the mouthpiece of the commoners, the cadet of the Kestrel Academy, the 'hope' of the future of the kingdom, the representative of the 'Capital Overseer'. ”
"I don't agree!" Wen Lisi objected as soon as she heard Gu Luonos's speech, "Why can the princess and prince of the kingdom only be allocated one seat?
"But Prince Walter, who has a different position from Princess Winlith, has only one vote," Gu Luos looked relaxed, perhaps because only Princess Winlith showed a look of displeasure, "I think this distribution is very fair, especially for those border nobles who guard the borders of the kingdom and provide us with a peaceful and stable basis for 'discussing things', this distribution is understandable." ”
At the Kestrel Academy, Avi, who is very serious about politics, has already smelled the smell of reforms and coups. He didn't expect that Gu Luos and Evan and others, who seemed to be caught in the middle at first, would suddenly stretch out their hands, put on the clothes of representing the king and queen, and propose a plan to redivide power. Originally, it was only Prince Bradley and Prince Walter who were fighting each other that the situation became confusing, especially when the "Frontier Aristocratic Forces" discovered by Avi before, and when the "Capital Overseer" was listed as one of the seats in the "Five-Party Council" by Guronos, the true position of Groonos appeared clearly in front of Avi.
"If the implementation goes well, this may be a good plan for the progress of the Kingdom of Salins," Felistie couldn't help but whisper her opinion to Avi, "but no matter how you look at it, this seems to be a peaceful means of power transfer, and if King Byron is on the scene, he may be so angry that he will fall ill again." ”
Even though all the participants were aware of some of Gronos's intentions, none of the Marquis Roberto, Walter's faction, Lieutenant Evan, or Bradley, who had been silent, objected.
"But would King Byron agree in that case?" asked the Academy Ghost suddenly.
Gronos narrowed his eyes and stared at the ghost of the academy sitting beside him, "This 'five-party meeting' is obviously able to win the support of the vast majority of the people, no one wants to see injustice and dictatorship, and dividing what everyone wants is the best option." On the side of King Byron, I will personally ask for advice. ”
"Is it really what you say it is?" the Academy Ghost asked rhetorically, "Vice-Commander Evan said before that King Byron is now so sick that he can't speak. ”
"King Byron will nod his head in agreement after listening to the plan we have decided together!"
"Since this can be done, then why don't you ask the king directly about the candidate for the prince? As far as I know, the king himself issued their own tests to the three princes before he fell ill, and the only person who completed the test perfectly was the eldest prince, and it was only natural for the eldest prince to become the prince, right?"
Roberto touched his chin and agreed, "That seems to be the right thing to say." ”
Winlith and Avi were overjoyed by the words of the Academy Ghost, and Gronos's "fair" plan had already been irrefutable to all the attendees, but now it had taken a turn!
"Personally, I think the plan proposed by the President is very good, and if I were to be in charge of all the decision-making power in the kingdom alone, I would also think that this person is not up to the task. Walter's modesty was recognized by the other officials and nobles who stood not far away, and there was an allusion to Bradley in saying so.
Wen Lisi shook her head and said, "How can the power that originally belonged to the king be divided into the hands of the 'Capital Supervision Council' and the border nobles?
Of course, the Jacques who were in charge of taking notes had no say, but Evan said: "The 'Capital Overseer' has made a lot of contributions during this time, and they deserve the title of 'Pillars of the Future of the Kingdom' and 'Hope of the Kingdom'... So, I agree with the proposal put forward by Gronos, and I am sure that King Byron and Queen Rosemand will agree as well. ”
Winlith couldn't refute everyone's opinions, she bit her lip unconsciously, and Bradley finally spoke up under the gaze of everyone.
"We do need to listen to the people, and I understand my father's decision not to allow us to enter the palace, but now the kingdom needs to face..."
The Academy Ghost suddenly interjected: "The kingdom has to face many things, but people must first face their own hearts, and they need to be honest. As far as I know, Demps, the head of the Snake Lance Knights, wasn't 'caught', and none of his men were executed, and they're still alive and well. ”
Avi thought that the ghost of the academy was on the side of the eldest prince, but he didn't expect the other party to suddenly fight back!
"Is the man who lied to King Byron and the people of the whole country really fit to be the prince?, I think it is debatable to give him a seat in the 'Council of the Five Parties'..."Avi rushed over to cover the mouth of the Academy ghost, but the other man's words were clear.
