Chapter 55: Preparation
In the morning, Qiming was eating, and he didn't understand the matter of "God" for two days, so he simply threw it aside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Life was a little stable, and I was very interested in the "noodles" described in the blue eye, so I made it to the chef. After a few experiments, the noodles were still a little slimy, but the soup of the beef stew was excellent, and the spicy garlic sprouts were also good, so I didn't care. Just let the chef keep improving.
He snorted and ate beef noodles and looked at the broken star that came to pay his respects.
"Marquis of Xingyuan?" Qiming was stunned, originally thought that the title would be given by his father who had not yet met, but he didn't expect the king to do it himself.
Early in the morning, some people came to the castle of Helius, who were in charge of etiquette and clothing, shoes and hats. Inform the castle of the preparation for canonization. A decree from heaven is rare, and before someone is canonized, the canonized person receives the message, after which it is prepared for the ceremony.
It's about the face of the royal family and the feuded.
The canonization of nobles is nominally all kings, but in fact some special nobles can be canonized. Such as the two Grand Dukes of Perdition and God Bless. Those with lower titles are fine, but they need to be reported to the kingdom. Anyway, if you cut the cake from your own noble territory, you can generally agree.
But the nobility had no right to give other people's domains to their own people, unless they went to war and won the war. Rhea implemented centralized power, and the counties were all over the world, and the original canonization system was completely chaotic.
"What's the saying about this Star Source Territory?" Qi Ming looked at Shattered Star's constipated expression and felt that there was something in it. He took the towel that Finy had handed him and wiped his hands slowly.
"It's a long story...... "Shatterstar knows it well.
"Don't rush to see them later, you can eat a little, it's good. "Qiming asked Shattered Star to try the beef noodles. Escorted all the way, although separated by many generations, at least they are relatives.
"I just didn't have breakfast. "Shattered Star is not welcome. Took a bite and gave a thumbs up. "It's good, it's just not convenient to use a fork. ”
Qiming secretly thought that he should use chopsticks, which didn't seem to be easy.
After explaining, Qiming learned that this place was actually very magical, and it was the focus of the contention between the two dukes, and evidence in favor of his side could be found from history and various legal theories. Gradually, it became a very sensitive place, which was originally only about profit, but was turned into a symbol of glory by the hot-headed knights.
Slogan: "The Star Source Territory is ours!"
Qiming didn't pay much attention to it, and the territory bordered the suffocating barren forest that made him interested. Isn't that the territory of the steel whip? It's a great place for you. It doesn't seem bad to be able to rule a territory.
"When can we go to the territory?" Qiming stood up and walked back and forth, not even wanting to go to Sinking City.
Shatterstar swallowed and said, "You must be sixteen years old to receive the territory, which was jointly managed by the kingdom and the family before taking over. Even reaching the age of sixteen will not go well, and Bless City becomes another obstacle. ”
Qiming was a little angry and said, "The Firefly family is also interested in this place. The road is narrow, is what they took from me?"
"It should be so, the mosquito fireflies are geniuses, surpassing any other young people, and it is difficult for them to reach that height with their bloodline skills alone. The Grand Duke wakes up to take revenge, and Firefly's death says something. The selection of the horse nail knight is about to be held, and Xiwen of the Firefly family is also coming here. It's going to be lively."
After Shattered Star finished speaking, he thought that three things actually fell on Qiming at the same time, the opponents were all the same family, was it fate?
Qiming said: "I know, Granny Donna's recommendation should have arrived in Sinking City, and people can send it directly here." We're not going to leave for now. ”
He wanted to get his hands on it, as it was adjacent to where Steelwhip lived. The Dragon's Resting Place, where Fan Luntieen is located, is far to the north, separated from Tielan by the Kingdom of Size. Donna lives farther along the coast of Whale Springs, on other continents.
"Can't compromise!"
In the living room, Qiming saw someone coming, and there was an acquaintance among the three officials, the ceremonial officer Nilogu. He was dressed in a solemn red robe, and he looked very festive. But there is something out of place with his handsome appearance and clothes. Qiming felt that if he was a fat man, he would have no sense of disobedience.
Two other officials led the money from the king and the craftsmen who made the gowns.
The two sides sat down, and the attendant served black tea. There will be some discussion on the details of this ceremony. Among them, Qiming behaved very politely, and these people are not surprised. They didn't know that Qiming had returned from exile in the town, but they thought that Duke Helius had been hiding this son before.
The canonization ceremony was not simple, and the ceremonial officer began to teach various etiquette, and firstly, the person who was canonized was required to owe allegiance to the king, and Qiming did not like this procedure very much.
Allegiance?
"Nilogu, is this process of allegiance necessary?" Qiming stretched out his arms, and the tailor took a soft leather ruler to measure his body to make a new dress.
"Yes, Lord Qiming. Nilogu said this, and his heart began to think. He also had the other task of not making the allegiance process work.
The relationship between a vassal and a vassal is very special, and killing each other can be considered a violation of the rules. In the same way, King Rhea wanted to show the arrogance of the Helius family's refusal to pledge allegiance, so as to lay a solid foundation for the conquest.
Originally, people were doubting whether Tsushama was loyal to Rhea, and they were also judging whether he had reached the point of lawlessness.
"There seems to be a rule that the first heir cannot owe allegiance to anyone else when the duke is not dead. In the future, if I do inherit the position of duke, I will have to do it a second time. There seems to be some repetition. "Qiming remembered something, and he could delay it if he could.
"Yes, I will bring your thoughts to His Majesty, and there should be a better way to resolve them. Nilogu was slightly happy in his heart, but he remained silent on the surface.
"Then this procedure can be simplified?" Qiming said according to his own thoughts, not thinking of the deep-rooted layer, even if he had rich experience, he was only an eight-year-old child. I thought to myself, I need to spend some money, otherwise no one will take things seriously.
It was already afternoon when the etiquette study was over, and when Bruce sent Nilogu out of the house, a heavy bag of gold coins fell into the pocket of the ceremonial officer.
Nilogu departed happily, that was his purpose, to kill two birds with one stone.
The fiefdoms nominally did not pay taxes to the king, but only served as a defender, and the money belonged to the lord to build up the army. When outsiders invade, they will raise an army to serve the king. But every year they contribute a lot of items, mostly curiosities. The royal capital will also allocate money to entertain them when they come to the royal capital.
The money that accompanied the ceremonial officer changed hands and was delivered to him.
Watching the sun go west, Qiming called Thomas and Bruce out for a walk, and the day's study was very boring. Just entering the city was led by Nilogu, and there was really nothing to see. Like the guards inspected by the leaders of the other world, that road represents the face of the royal city, which is under martial law at all times.
Thomas put on a knight's outfit and swaggered over with an excited expression on his face. It was made by the craftsmen in the inn, and because it was relatively small, it was kept all the time. He found it and put it on his body.
"You're not called handsome, you're burning buns. Qiming was speechless, which did not match his own temperament.
Thomas Jr. disagreed: "What is a burnt bun?"
Qiming no longer has to deal with this guy who lacks a string in his brain.
"Is there any place to go?" "Should we find someone familiar?" Qiming went out, looking at the empty street, not knowing where to go.
"To the east are mostly castles for officials and nobles, and to the west are towns, and there should be a lot of interesting things," Bruce said. Spend a few dimes over there, and someone will lead us around. The squires in the castle are familiar with the place, but they don't seem to feel comfortable with you. ”
Qiming agreed, and he was a little disgusted with the rules in his heart. Despite their own efforts to maintain a moderate attitude, the attendants trembled.
