Duke Rawls stood up, looked around at the nobles who were looking up at him and said, "Everyone, please think about it carefully, Leo is now the youngest person in the history of the empire to be promoted to a marquis by merit, and His Majesty the Emperor even took out the city of Lien in order to reward him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Leo really wants the best interests of the empire between the kingdom of Lorraine and the Paris empire this time, then what should our esteemed Emperor Majesty reward him?"
Speaking of this, Duke Rawls paused deliberately and looked at the reactions of the nobles, many nobles seemed to have figured out the key to the matter, and their thoughtful expressions made Duke Rawls feel a little better, at least their allies were not all stupid.
Of course, there are still people who don't have a brain, and the Earl of Sweet originally relied on the title inherited by his father's shadow, and he didn't have any political experience, so he didn't understand what Duke Rawls meant, and he didn't even think about it and said directly: "His Majesty the Emperor can continue to crown him as a duke!"
As soon as Count Sweet's words came out, he found that the surrounding nobles were looking at him with a look at him like a fool, and immediately reacted, after ascending to the duke's throne, the fief will also be expanded, and the duke's fief is at least a province, and even like the Grand Duke of Wagner, it is okay to rule three provinces or establish a principality, and where is the surplus province in the Varu Empire to be divided into Leo?
No matter where His Majesty the Emperor divides the feudal title to Leo, it will touch the interests of countless people, and it will cause dissatisfaction among many nobles, and when the time comes, it will directly affect the stability of the imperial power and the empire, so it will be a big trouble.
The Duke of Rawls had already planned in his heart that he would no longer associate with a fool like Count Sweet in the future, and a fool might be involved in all the wise people.
"If Leo really succeeds in completing the plan, then he is not far from death, if he can't complete the plan, then His Majesty the Emperor will not punish him or not, Duke Solo, who came up with this plan, will not let him go, and it is possible that a young talent will fall. Whether he can complete this task or not, it makes no difference to him, what we have to do is to maximize the benefits, although the fief of the Marquis of Leo is located in a remote place in the northern Xinjiang, but Silverstone City is also an important city of the empire after all, and the people have always been brave and elite, everyone wants to take a bite of this piece of fat, and the distribution of benefits at that time is a headache. ”
Listening to Duke Rawls's words, many of the nobles present couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, they didn't expect that Duke Solo's plan would be so vicious, no matter whether Marquis Leo could complete the task or not, the end would be a dead end. The emaciated and stereotypical face of Duke Solo appeared in the minds of many nobles, and was also listed by many as one of the people who should never be provoked.
While Duke Rawls was discussing with his allies how to take Leo's estate, the instigator of the whole thing, Duke Solo, was reprimanded and couldn't hold his head up.
Nathaniel's fat palms slapped on the conference table again and again, and the fat face that had been smiling kindly all day long was full of anger, he slapped the table with one hand, and pointed at Duke Solo with the other and taught him a lesson: "You said you old fellow, I told you everything, Marquis Leo thinks about the empire in everything, and is obviously an outstanding talent loyal to His Majesty and loyal to the empire, why did you come up with such a bad idea to push him out and send him to death?" There's an old saying that the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be blown down, and you obviously want Leo to blow that tree down!"
Duke Solo smiled wryly, and took advantage of the respite of Patriarch Nathaniel to quickly defend: "I really didn't mean that, I didn't think so much about him when I recommended him at that time. ”
"Phew~, do you think I'm a three-year-old child, and this kind of nonsense will believe you? You, an old poisonous snake staring at others all day long, will be so simple? Can come up with such a poisonous plan that is obviously aimed at Leo, and then Leo will have no reward to seal if he succeeds, and the imperial authority will be severe, and if he fails, he will be attacked by those nobles, and he must be swallowed alive. Why did you come up with such a bad idea!" Elder Nathaniel gasped and still pointed at Duke Solo and refused to let go.
"I ...... I...... Alas!" Duke Solo is not easy to say that he really wanted to trap Leo in when he came up with the idea, and if this word reached Leo's ears, he would really have a mortal enemy.
The people sitting in this secret room were all veterans loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, who did not want Leo's failure to cause the empire to miss the opportunity to seek the magical civilization of the Kingdom of Lorraine, nor did they want Leo to put His Majesty the Emperor in an embarrassing situation after his success, so they all looked at Duke Solo with reproachful eyes.
Looking at Duke Solo's aggrieved and depressed appearance, Dean Roman, who had always been calm and composed, coughed lightly and said: "Everyone, I don't think it's useful to be anxious now, besides, I also have confidence in Marquis Leo, since he swore to this task, then he should have his own plan, we don't need to worry too much about him." ”
"Hey~, you said that so many of us old guys don't have any ideas, how can a young man with little experience solve the poisonous plan of Solo's poisonous snake?" "Patriarch Nathaniel now doesn't save any face for Duke Solo, and calls Duke Solo one poisonous snake after another, without giving this old friend any face.
Duke Solo, who was a little unbearable for the old Nasnir senator, simply raised his head and said: "If Leo really completes the task, let's help His Majesty find a way to reward him, if he fails, then don't blame me, if he doesn't have enough ability, no one can help him." ”
"Okay, then I'll see what you old fellow can do to help His Majesty reward him when Leo returns triumphantly from completing this mission, isn't it possible that you want to give him the fief under your name?"
"I ......" Duke Solo almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, where did he give his fiefdom to Leo, so can the elders of his own family drink the northwest wind? Thinking that Leo is the patron of a certain god, Duke Solo can't declare it without real evidence, no matter how much the patriarch Nathaniel runs, Duke Solo can't justify, so he can only bow his head and endure it.
And the Marquis of Leo, who is at the center of the topic of the imperial capital, is now happily holding a few shiny magic crystals in his hands, in front of the goblins' successive sea tactics and the powerful combat power of the holy army, several demonic beasts of different lines have been pushed down one after another, their furs have been stripped off as trophies, and the flesh and blood have entered the goblin's stomach, and the magic crystals have fallen into Leo's hands, which is really not wasted at all.
