What Lorist did not expect was that as the news of his decision to hold a wedding in November this year to marry Princess Celevia came out, in the next half month, he received numerous petition letters from family Chinese officials and family knights in various legions, all of which expressed the same meaning, resolutely opposing Princess Celevia as the matriarch of the Norton family. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Compared with those civil officials who tried to persuade Lorist to change his mind by giving examples of facts and facts in his letters, the letters from the knights of those families were more straightforward, and their reasons were very strong, that is, the Fisabrun family was defeated, and the women of their family were not qualified to be the wife of the Norton family.
Fat Shi guessed this accurately, and the Norton family almost unanimously objected to Lorlist's decision. Among the civilian officials, Hansk, the governor of Hilowas, was the main one, and most of the middle managers echoed his opinion, the Fisabrun family was the enemy of the Norton family, how could Lorist marry the daughter of the enemy family, even if they were still one-sided in favor of the marriage between the Norton family and the Fisabrun family two years ago.
Among them, the most fierce opposition is the family's treasurer, Baron Speer, who opposes it for different reasons than others, he has no problem with Lorlist's marriage to Princess Celevia, he opposes Lorlist's idea of the extravagant operation, the cost of holding a grand wedding, and thinks it is unnecessary and wasteful. In the letter, he said that if Lorist were to marry a princess from another country, a grand and extravagant wedding would be inevitable, because it would increase the prestige and fame of the Norton family, but if you were to marry Princess Celevia, given her status, it would be a small wedding that was quietly unknown, and there would be no need to waste the family's gold coins.
Lorist was amused by the letter from the director of Speer, and then he received a letter from Bodfinger in the form of a letter eagle, which stated that the reasons for the objection were similar to those of Fat Man, one was that he was worried about the instability of the army and the morale of the army, and the other was the same opinion as the knights of the other families, believing that Princess Celevia was a member of the Fisabrun family and was not qualified to be a duchess.
To Lorlist's relief, there were sixteen Golden Knights in the family, and only six of them wrote to openly oppose it, Josk and Yuri of the Huntsers, who were very hostile to the Fisabrun family because of the Hunters' defeat in Makinohara Province, and it was understandable that they opposed Lorlist's marriage. Then there are the two captains of the Flying Tiger Legion, Tiger Ross and Doreus, and Tiger Ross is the representative of the family knights who decided that Princess Celivia was not qualified to marry Lorist due to the defeat of the Fisabrun family.
Dorres was a different story, but given that he and Yuri, the deputy commander of the Chasseurs, had a close relationship, it was not surprising that he would echo Yuri's letter of opposition. In addition, the deputy commander of the Guards Regiment deployed in the province of Demke, Berunek, who was a knight of the family from the Maple Grove Villa, probably wrote this letter because of human feelings. The last one was Bodfinger, who had just sent the letter, for the two reasons written in the letter.
There were also ten Golden Knights who did not express their opinions except Sambarwood, and Fat Shi was too lazy to meddle after persuading Lorist because he knew Lorlist's determination clearly. Telman's attitude is that this is the private matter of the head of the family, and as a knight of the family, he only has the duty to obey orders, and should not go against Lorlist's wishes. Ovicis, who was born as a bandit, is most convinced of Lorlist, so he will not risk angering Lorlist. Farrea and Pachco remained silent, not saying a word to anyone who came to ask them.
The Golden Knight Jades, the commander of the Guards Regiment on the Isle of Hilowas, and Mason, who served in the Rock Legion, excused themselves from serving the Norton family for a short time because they were slave gladiators, and they did not understand the situation and did not express their opinions. Malek, on the other hand, had an argument with Bodfinger, who he thought should not write against Lorlist, but he did not support it. Finally, El, who just smiled when he heard the news, as the commander of the guard battalion, he knew the love affair between Lorist and Princess Celevia best, and also knew Lorlist's character, so he didn't take those opposing opinions as one thing.
Only the commander of the Sea Legion, the Golden Knight Sambawood, wrote a congratulatory letter to Lorlist, expressing his great pleasure that Lorist and Princess Celevia had tied the knot and had a romantic relationship...... This was the first congratulatory letter from the Norton family, and Lorist smiled when he saw it, and said something about this slick guy. Although they belong to the Norton family's armed forces, Sambarwood's Sea Legion is self-contained, so he doesn't need to think about what the knights of the other families will think.
There are also two great swordsmen in the Norton family, one is Injerek who sits in the Rock Castle, although this old man has become a first-class great swordsman, but he is afraid that Lorist will be like a mouse seeing a cat, and he does not dare to accuse Lorist at all. As for the other first-level great swordsman Xiuth who was sitting on the island of Hilowas, he was now living in Wanghai Manor and was preparing to attack the realm of the second-level great swordsman, and he had no leisure or interest in persuading Lorist to change his mind, so that the governor of Hansk came to visit and wanted the great swordsman of Xius to sign the letter with him, but he was closed.
Lorist was very angry and decided to give these bad guys a good look, and he held a meeting in the Rock Castle, and summoned all the civil officials and knights of the family who had expressed their opposition to his marriage to Princess Celivia in the Northlands, and at the meeting Lorist was furious, and rebuked the fellows who had forgotten their duty of superiority and inferiority, and made irresponsible remarks about the affairs of the head of the house, and opened a dye shop for three colors. When the scolding was at its most intense, Lorist grabbed a pottery flower pot beside him and smashed it on the ground hatefully, and then walked away......
All the civil officials and family knights present at the meeting had never imagined that Lorlist's reaction would be so violent, the sound of the flower pot smashing on the ground and the back of Lorlist's angry departure made them feel uneasy, some of them were already scared into a cold sweat, and some began to reflect on whether their reasons for opposing the marriage of Lorist and Princess Celevia were appropriate......
Just when people were panicking, the white-faced Shi Fatzi came to the stage, reassuring these colleagues and reminding everyone that the Norton family had its current glory after His Royal Highness the Grand Duke. Don't look at His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, who usually treats his subordinates kindly, and respects everyone's suggestions, and vigorously promotes talents who can actually solve problems, but those are official affairs. You are the Grand Duke of the Northlands, the most powerful Norton family, if you want to marry a wife, you will be blamed by your subordinates, so no matter who has a temper.
But you can rest assured, His Royal Highness has always been right about things and not people, this time everyone made the Grand Duke angry because he interfered in the family affairs of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and in the future, if you do well in official affairs, the Grand Duke will still praise you without disgust. What needs to be explained is that the marriage between His Royal Highness the Grand Duke and Princess Celivia is a foregone conclusion, and no matter what the factors are, they cannot affect the Grand Duke's determination. Therefore, everyone should not waste their energy on this matter, and strive to do their own work well is the real contribution to the family. Of course, if anyone is unwilling to run away because of the stubbornness of His Royal Highness, the family will let them go.
No one is going to run away, and now the situation of the Norton family is so good, whoever runs is a fool. Whether it is a civilian official or a family knight, today's status is due to the support of Lorist. Many people are writing letters against their colleagues against them if they don't do it, so everyone is following the trend, and Lorist's anger just now has scared them into a cold sweat and regretted it. As soon as Shi Fat handed over the ladder, how could there be a reason not to take the opportunity to step down......
"Think about it, our Grand Duke's highness led us to the Northlands and turned the barren territory into the present paradise on earth, which of his decisions was wrong? The Grand Duke is in a high position and is naturally more far-sighted than us, so his decision is not something we can criticize, only time will prove it......"
After Shi Fatzi finished this testimonial earnestly, he announced the dismissal of the meeting, and then went to report his appeasement results to Lorlist.
In his letter to the Governor of Hansk, Lorist wrote a vague rebuke to the Governor of Hansk, reminding him that he had overstepped his duties as a retainer and should not meddle in his own affairs, and at the same time expressed his appreciation for his loyalty and ability, and that the island of Shirovas had grown rapidly under his administration, and had become an island of thriving commerce and fishing, and had contributed greatly to the family......
The letter to Director Speer was simple, Lorist gave Director Speer two choices, one was to shut up, obey the order, and continue to be the treasurer of the Norton family. The second is to continue to point fingers and be a miser, if you like gold so much, you will be responsible for digging gold in the gold mine on the other side of Jinling......
It is said that Director Speer was so angry that he couldn't eat when he received this letter, and it was finally Master Sid's enlightenment that made him understand. Master Sid made it very clear that Director Speer was the old man of Maple Grove Villa, so when Lorist inherited the family territory and title, how much property was in Maple Grove Villa? How many assets are there in the current Norton family territory?
Director Speer was originally very aggrieved, thinking that he was loyal, as the family's chief financial officer, he had always been honest and honest, and he was dedicated to the sake of the family, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by Lorlist's letter for no reason. It dawned on him when he heard these words from Master Sid, so he closed his mouth.
Lorlist's third letter was addressed to Tiger Ross, which did not explain or reprimand, but only wrote his statement of thanking the soldiers for snatching Princess Celevia from the Fisabrun family as his wife, and also wrote his thoughts on the idea of casting a batch of commemorative badges of his wife snatching in gold and sending them to all the armed soldiers of the various families who participated in the raids of the Iberian Kingdom, and asked Tiger Ross what good suggestions and opinions he had......
Lorist knows Tiger Ross very well, this guy is a war maniac, just fight a war, so it doesn't matter if you are robbing your wife or fighting for hegemony, you write a letter against it because he looks down on the defeated subordinates of the Fisabrun family, and it is not that he has any bad opinion about the marriage of Lorist and Princess Celevia. Sure enough, Tiger Ross was very happy when he received the letter, and in his opinion, the statement of snatching his wife for Lorist was the most attractive, and he quickly replied that the soldiers of the entire Flying Tiger Legion were looking forward to the commemorative badge of the success of snatching his wife, and automatically forgot to write a letter against the marriage......
The last letter was addressed to Bodfinger, in which Lorist scolded Bodefinger for being dizzy or in the water, scolded for two pages, and then ordered to be passed by the eagle.
Shi Fatzi watched Lorist write this letter of reprimand and laughed, knowing in his heart that Lorlist's letter to the Governor of Hansk was polite and distant, and he did not trust the Governor of Hansk very much in his heart. A letter to Director Speer shows that although Lorist trusted him, he was already impatient with the family's treasurer. The letter to Tiger Ross shows that Lorist not only admires the fierce general of the family, but also knows Tiger Ross very well about his personality and character, and this letter is the right medicine. As for Bodefinger, needless to say, Lorist in the family trusts this Golden Knight the most, otherwise he wouldn't have scolded him without seeing anything.
"Your Highness, don't forget Josk and Yuri. Shi Fatzi reminded.
Lorist was no longer ready to write any more, and nodded: "I understand, but I am going to personally go to the residence of the Huntsman Legion to explain to them that they have suffered a great loss at the hands of the Fisabrun family's armed forces, which is why there is such great hostility." I will tell them that even if I marry Celevia, the Fisabrun will still be our enemies and will not change because of this. I'm sure they'll understand. As for Dores and Bérunek, they are helpless, so I don't need to write to them, so as to save them embarrassment. ”
Having put aside these objections in the family, Lorist finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before they could continue to spend a few days of good time with Princess Celivia, Farea, and Belunik rushed to the Rock Castle to report to Lorist. The two barons were recruited to let them be in charge of the reorganization and expansion of the Guards Legion, and after handing over to Shi Fatzi, the two former Guards Legion captains and deputy captains were recruited by Lorist for talks.
"This time the Guards Regiment has been changed to four, and I intend to put the 1st and 3rd Guards Regiments in charge of the defense of the entire Northlands, and the 2nd and 4th Guards Regiments in the provinces of Dramke and Winston respectively. Both of you are to be the commander of a Guards Legion, and you would like to serve in that legion?" asked Lorlist.
"Your Highness, I'm going to the Fourth Guards Legion, the Fourth Guards Regiment is stationed in Winston Province, and in the next few days, Pietro City and the Southern Province are very likely to be attacked, I am already familiar with the situation in Winston Province, so let me take charge. Farea was the first to speak.
Beručk spread his hands and complained: "Fareia, this is not fair, you have taken away the territory where there will be war." Your Highness, which Guards Regiment is stationed at this Jinling Fortress?"
"The 1st Guards Legion," Lorist replied, "the 1st Guards Regiment is responsible for the garrison of the original family territory in the north, including the Rock Castle, and the 1st Guards Regiment is responsible for the completion of the construction of the Golden Ridge Fortress. ”
"Okay, then I'll go to the First Guards Legion, if the mountain barbarians come to attack, I'll have a good time. Belunik said.
"And the commanders of the 2nd and 3rd Guards Regiments, do you have any good candidates to recommend?" asked Lorlist.
"Your Highness, the Knight of Jeders of the Isle of Hilovas is a good candidate for Legion Commander. Fareia said.
"Your Highness, Ovicis has been with you for so long, and now he is still the commander of a battalion, you should give him a promotion. Béruñek also recommended his favourite candidates.
"So, what about the island of Hilovas, there needs a family of golden knights in charge. Lorist asked again.
Farrea thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, let Pachko go to Hiroas Island for a few years, he once said that his family and children love the scenery there. And he said that his qualifications are limited, and it is difficult for him to be promoted to the second gold star, which makes it a little dangerous for him to charge into the Flying Tiger Legion......"
Well, that's right, Lorist remembered the two charges of the Flying Tigers, Tiger Ross was unscathed, and Pachko, who also led the charge, was slightly injured. Compared to Ross, Pachko's skills are much worse.
"Alright, let Pachko sit on the island of Hilovas. Lorist was the final word.
