Chapter 174: My name is Jason Lopez, the second in line to the throne of the kingdom

"You have to think clearly, if you do something beyond the bottom line, how are you going to recover other big cities in the future?"

Zola seriously said that she did not approve of Jason's use of radical means to completely unify the city.

"You know, whether it is my status as a prince of the kingdom or the identity of the marquis of the kingdom, but now my life is threatened one after another in this city, is it appropriate for these nobles not to give me an explanation?"

Jason asked with a smile, sometimes this identity is really useful, at least after revealing his identity, these people have to sleep and eat.

"What am I going to do?"

Zola pondered for a while and then asked softly, her heart was a little soft, if Jason decided to do this, it would not only be those nobles who would suffer, but also those innocent family members, but she still decided to support Jason's decision.

"Those who convene the Council of Nobles, I need them to hand over the jurisdiction in their hands, and from this day forward the court needs our men to be responsible. Jason tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, his tone cold.

"And I need them to hand over the power of their soldiers, from today the number of private soldiers under their command cannot exceed two hundred, and soldiers who currently exceed this number need to be forced to enlist. ”

The private soldiers in the hands of the nobles have always been the biggest threat to the royal power, and a few big nobles can gather tens of thousands of troops, so Jason decided to take this opportunity to weaken the military power in the hands of the nobles.

And from this time as a starting point, this plan will be gradually implemented, and the protection of the noble territory will be responsible for the royal family and special officials, and this official needs to be changed every three years, and the nobles have enough people to protect their own safety.

"No, I object, you have touched their most fundamental interests by doing this, they will definitely rise up and resist, and we will not get the support of a nobleman at that time!"

Zora stood up suddenly, her face flushed and retorted Jason's idea, she could hardly imagine that once this plan was implemented, without Garcia sending someone to deal with Jason, the nobles of the north would definitely attack it in groups.

Jason did this completely to pinch the lifeblood of the nobles in his own hands, and whether they died or lived when the time came would be a matter of Jason's words.

"That's why I said starting with Lucca, we just need to stabilize Lucca at the moment and take our time elsewhere. ”

Jason motioned for Zola to sit down and speak slowly, he hadn't finished his plan yet.

"It's absolutely impossible!"

Zola was determined not to allow Jason to do such a self-destructive thing, although it was very effective in consolidating the royal power, but Jason did not have the strength to do it at the moment.

"You just need to gather these nobles from Lucca City and see what they think of this plan. ”

Jason said with a smile, as if full of confidence.

"Then you must promise me that we must not force them to bow their heads, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

Zola looked at Jason seriously, if Jason insisted on doing so......

There was nothing she could do, because she couldn't afford to put Jason under house arrest, and one Beowulf was enough to make her lose a lot, and it was said that he still had several masters in his domain, and Marquis Asa as his backing.

"No problem. Jason spread his hands.

"By the way, what about April?"

Jason frowned suddenly, as if he hadn't had time to take care of this person since the accident last night, and now he suddenly remembered.

He also wanted to get most of the information about the Hop Kai through this person and Frida, Frida usually ran the overseas shipping of the Hop Shou Kai, so he didn't know some internal problems, so the value of April was much greater.

Jason's current center of gravity is still inland.

"April, who is that?" Zola was a little confused, she had forgotten about this man......

"It's the high-ranking member of the Hands Society!" Jason's eyes widened, he remembered last night that he had asked this man to follow Villerite to find the stone carvings.

"I ...... Forget about him...... "Zola patted his head, last night was so chaotic, who remembers a captive.

Jason was dumbfounded.

"I immediately sent someone to hunt him down. Zora immediately got up and walked out a little anxiously, which was really embarrassing.

..............................

In the palace of the lord of Lucca, in a solemnly decorated hall, more than thirty nobles and nobles, led by ten presidents of the noble council. Sit at a long conference table in the middle, with Zola at the top.

"My lord, do you mean that we should hand over most of the benefits and make up for the damage you have suffered in the past few days?"

Count Brady Gale looked at Zora in a contrived tone, his expression exaggerated, and his eyes were full of mockery.

In fact, because the joint hand would be uprooted in Lucca City because of Zola, resulting in a huge loss of his interests, he did not have a good impression of the legion commander and city lord at all.

And he just learned that this legion commander was actually a woman, and he didn't know Jason's identity yet, and he thought that this meeting was initiated by Zola.

So after listening to Zola's words, he immediately ridiculed him.

"That's right, that's what I meant. Zora crossed her hands and looked at Brady in silence, not showing what she was thinking.

Jason was sitting on his left hand side at this time, and some of the nobles were also watching him, wondering why the Kyle family was here.

"It's a joke, so I'm sorry I won't accompany you to this ridiculous game!"

Hearing this, Count Brady sneered, and as soon as he shook off his robe, he got up and was about to leave.

"Count Brady sit a little longer, and it would be better to eat a little more. Jason watched him speak calmly, causing an immediate uproar.

They could not understand why a man from a merchant family dared to speak on such an occasion, and he was not Villeret.

As Jason's words fell, a black mist rose, and Morando appeared in front of the gate, blocking Count Brady's footsteps.

"Sir Zola Odinson, are you forcing us to accept your terms?" said Earl Brady, with a gloomy face, and with a single sentence he pushed Zola to the opposite side of the nobles.

A group of nobles were immediately indignant and glared angrily at Zola, but none of them took Jason who had just spoken in their eyes, they thought that this was all what Zola meant.

However, when he stirred up the emotions of the nobles, Earl Wheeler Tichy sat by and said nothing, his expression a little lonely.

In the days following the assassination of the manor, he searched for information and sent people to observe Jason, for which he also paid the lives of several spies, and finally he received a piece of information that frightened him.

Frightened, he immediately ended a big plan he had been planning for a long time, and erased all traces, and he thought that Jason had come to his banquet because he was aware of his plan.

Earl Wheeler mistakenly thought that if he found out his crimes and intentions, he would use the Lucca garrison to arrest himself, and then use himself as an example to intimidate the nobles of Lucca, and then meddle in the affairs of Lucca Province.

This was a very coincidental misunderstanding, and in the final analysis, Earl Wheeler did not have any confidence in himself.

"No, of course not, how can you understand that?" said Zola, smiling, "This lord just wants to keep you from eating more good food." ”

Speaking of this, her expression became ill-intentioned: "Otherwise, you may not be able to eat in the future." ”

This murderous sentence immediately calmed the many nobles present, and they were so frightened that they quickly shrank their necks and looked around to see if there were any soldiers in ambush.

"You...... What do you mean?"

Count Brady gradually saw sweat on his forehead, and his heart was a little nervous, the main reason why he dared to be so tough was because he thought that Zola would not dare to kill the nobleman.

After all, whether it is a battlefield battle or a private grudge, it has always been a tradition on the mainland not to kill nobles who have surrendered or lost the ability to resist, which is regarded as an honor by nobles, and generally no one is willing to risk losing their reputation to do such a thing.

"Don't you understand what I mean?"

Jason slowly got up and stared into the eyes of Earl Brady, he had no affection for this guy, and he had heard that he was still favoring his dumb son when he was first assassinated and unconscious.

"Who are you? Is there a place for you to speak?"

Earl Brady turned his head and reprimanded, he had lost face with Zola, and wanted to find a staircase from Jason.

"Me?"

Jason asked, pointing to his nose, and then took out two badges from his bosom, one silver and one gold, both with two wolf heads depicted on them.

"My name is Jason Lopez, the second in line to the throne of the kingdom, the marquis of the kingdom and the lord of the Iron Fang. ”

Thump.
