Winter in the West was far more brutal than anyone expected.

Erdos, the pearl of the west, is like a purgatory on earth in such a cold winter, people eat people, nobles lose their proper dignity, commoners turn into thugs, and everything goes to extinction in restlessness.

Blizzards under natural disasters are far less devastationive than the evil in people's hearts.

Just as Wang Xiaotian has seen a lot of doomsday themes, without a powerful system ruler like the earl, without the hope of food, everyone seems to be experiencing an apocalypse.

Morality is trampled on, order is destroyed.

However, the blizzard in the West swept through not only the West like a plague, but Magnolia was also enveloped in a terrible storm.

More than thirty lords sent armed men into Magnoria.

The "Congressional Bill" proposed by the Royal Council led by the six wealthy families became more and more fierce, and the royal faction led by the Pars family resolutely resisted the implementation of the bill, and the two factions even staged a full-scale military march in front of Wes's Grand Duke's Palace, among which a high-ranking member of the Valen family was even swollen in the face.

However, Frances Valen had a strong attitude, and he sat in the position of prime minister, surrounded by the other five families, like a god on the top, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, and coldly suppressed any refutation from the Pars faction.

Soon.

The storm that started from the Imperial Council is getting bigger and bigger.

In just a few days, more than a dozen nobles were assassinated, and these nobles were all the most cheerful people who jumped in the parliament, and then, several other wealthy families in Magnolia were dragged into the water, some of them raised their banners to support the royal faction, and some of them resolutely joined the six major wealthy factions led by the Imperial Council.

The most sacred front hall of the entire Violet.

More than thirty nobles gathered every day, all vowing to stop each other, and every day there were those eloquents spitting and debating, and the public relations team of the Pars family was frantically wooing, bargaining, and compromising in an attempt to save the council.

"What does our new Grand Duke say?" said Frances Valen, calmly sitting in a dark red chair, in front of him were representatives of the other five great families.

"Hmph, what else, our new Grand Duke has been silent. ”

The patriarch of the Kalefu family on the left, the Chancellor of the Exchequer Riley Kalefo, said with a sneer, Riley Kalefu is a thin old man, his shriveled face is full of wrinkles, and he looks very old, in fact, he is already in his sixties, but as the patriarch of the Callefu family, his appearance is very abnormal.

The Callefour family is one of the stronger old families in Magnoria, their family controls more than 30% of the commercial trade in the central part of the country, and there are countless industries under their umbrella, and even the famous city that never sleeps in Magnolia is run by their family behind it.

They are the God of Wealth of Violet.

Such a wealthy family, each patriarch is almost the most wealthy person in Violet, in people's imagination, this kind of aristocracy is generally a pot-bellied, and then use a bunch of precious magic materials to prolong life, but in fact, if no one breaks it, Riley Callefour is like an old farmer in the countryside.

"Our Grand Duke doesn't seem to be able to recognize the reality yet!"

Another patriarch of the wealthy clan spoke, his words did not cause any waves, who could sit here, which one was not an old fox, just like Riley Callef, he seemed to be an old farmer, but Callef's income continued to rise every year, and his shrewdness surprised everyone.

Just when the Imperial Council was cold.

Frances sighed and said, "Since the Grand Duke is so hesitant, then we will come up with enough chips to make up his mind." ”

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

Despite Magnolia's fuss, many people know that this is nothing more than a futile farce.

Diana was such a person.

As the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke, she knows her younger brother's character too well, her heart is higher than the sky, but her ability is really flattering. It's like he occupies the position of righteousness, and he was beaten by Boer City.

Wess was silent, he just had illusions in his heart. ”

Diana knew very well that the bill of Congress would pass, and it was announced by Wes himself.

Her younger brother sat on the throne of the Grand Duke with the support of the six wealthy families, and he still had a great desire for power, but how could such a power control pass this bill that weakened his rights.

The reality is more brutal than the ideal.

The six wealthy families are not good, they supported Wes, Wes is just a puppet, not to mention that the position of the Grand Duke is not very glorious, and there is even a Diana coveted by the side, which many local nobles do not recognize.

Once the six wealthy families and local nobles are willing to use the recognition of Weiss's status as a bargaining chip, this new grand duke with a heart higher than the sky will have to admit it even if he doesn't want to.

Congress will be established.

This was the appeal of the entire violet aristocracy, and it in a sense changed the highest echelons of power in the country.

After experiencing the brutal political suppression of the eldest duke, whether it is the local aristocracy or the central aristocracy, they are eager to usher in a more relaxed political spring, but obviously, judging from her performance, Diana will be another iron-blooded duke.

Weiss, a weak and incompetent Grand Duke, was clearly in line with the interests of the aristocracy.

Diana was now more concerned about the immediate O'Neill problem than about what was going to happen.

Since the beginning of this year, the rebellion in the city of O'Neill has intensified, and there is no trace of extinguishing it.

Killing nobles and gathering people to rebel is a rare drama in Violet history, but under the suppression of the powerful aristocratic group of the entire Violet, any rebellion will come and go quickly.

Like a flower that has lost its soil, O'Neill, as an independent city, once it breaks away from Violet, they lose their normal ruling class and normal economic trade, and soon they will wither like flowers.

This is the pattern that the aristocracy summed up in the countless suppression of rebellions.

In the face of the rebellion, as long as they dry for a few days, they will find that they have lost supplies and all kinds of trade exchanges, and there is only a dead end in front of them.

"There must be other forces behind this O'Neill!"

Diana said in an affirmative tone, it seems that there are some unknown forces behind O'Neill's rebellion, and if this is the case, then everything will be in trouble.

O'Neill has a population of more than 100,000, and after the Northland was devastated by war, there were many displaced people.

Once O'Neill's men gain a firm foothold, and then gather the displaced people and form an army, a violent army of tens of thousands of people, they are full of internal contradictions, and the best way to solve them is foreign war.

War can digest all contradictions.

With such an army, they will cause great trouble to Diana.
