Chapter 75: A Flag

"The territory is also divided into good and bad, rich and barren, and the fief of a dignified hereditary viscount is naturally not too small...... Since His Majesty intends to make him a hero of the empire and an idol of youth, how can he do it with just a gimmick?" the handsome young man smiled wickedly, looked at the blood-like whiskey in the glass, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then drank it.

"Get that pile of rotten meat in order, I don't want to smell the smell in the air when I have breakfast tomorrow!"

"Yes, young master. ”

......

The next day, after Li Jun used a steak and a few pieces of toast, he rinsed his mouth while drinking beef persimmon soup.

The door opened, and a team of etiquette officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were already waiting quietly, huddled around Li Jun, grinding a set of etiquette rules taught to him last night.

A carriage stopped in front of the gate of Li Jun's castle, pulled by three white horses, the carriage was densely covered with inscriptions of the wind and earth, and it was rumored that the market value was as high as 4,000 gold coins, which was a gift from His Majesty.

The carriage walked silently, without a "creak" sound, and a glass of whiskey was placed on the table, without waves, which amazed Li Jun.

The ceremonial ceremony of the Koro Empire was not as cumbersome as Li Jun imagined.

He walked straight through the palace to King Corot XVII, knelt down on one knee, and listened to the king's voice of grace.

"The seventeenth king of the Koro Empire, adhering to the will of the goddess and praising the immortal brilliance of the great gods, specially bestowed the commoner Li Jun with the promotion to nobility, the title of hereditary viscount, and the ...... To be determined, give a castle of 400 acres, thousands of servants and maids, and ten gold coins per month......"

The other benefits are all false in Li Jun's eyes, and only the title of nobility and territory are real benefits.

Ten gold coins, that is, pocket money given by the royal symbol, each nobleman has his own fief, can train a certain size of private army, levy taxes, and divide with the empire according to the ratio of eighty-two kai. It is completely equivalent to the soil emperor, as long as he has made enough treasures to the royal family every year to express his submission and filial piety.

After the ceremony, the cardinal archbishop walked up to Li Jun with a scepter, said a lot of words praising the goddess on the official face, released a "blessing light" that was not painful, and poured rain and dew a few times, and then Li Jun had to thank him and praise the great and holy goddess of light.

"May the glory of the goddess be with me, and fight for the glory of the goddess for the rest of my life!" Li Jun held his delicate sword high, turned around, and shouted in front of the sky, the civil and military ministers, and the noble commoners.

At luncheon, representatives of powerful ministers and nobles from various countries surrounded Li Jun, holding goblets of "goodwill".

"I heard that in the face of dozens of necromantic knights, Li Junzi Jue resolutely chose to stay and cover his companions to leave, after this epic heroic deed spread, not only the Koro Kingdom, but even the young people of the powerful Ebran Empire, after hearing about Li Junzijue's "heroic" deeds, they couldn't help but worship and wanted to see your appearance. A polite foreign official walked over, and the cup in his hand touched Li Jun's goblet.

The name of the Alberon Empire is taken from the famous Alberon Highlands on the mainland.

The Ebrun Heights, high and steep, are surrounded by a vast plain that is home to ogres, dwarves, griffons and other large birds of prey.

Among them is the Ironhorn Rhinoceros Warhorse, which is abundant in the Abbron Plains, and this country is the best knight in the world.

In addition to the Abbyron Empire and the Koro Empire, there is also the Lorance Empire, which is rich in magicians, and the headquarters of the Wizards' Guild is located in the capital of the Lorance Empire.

There are four empires on the mainland, and they are also known as the three empires.

The Venetian Empire, also known as the Venetian Confederation, was the richest state on the continent after the Church, and consisted entirely of many merchant families, with an army and laws. But the power that really protects this empire is only the large mercenary groups hired by those business families who spend a lot of gold coins every year.

Because the Venetian Confederation is far away from the mainland, on an island in the far reaches of the mainland, it is completely a maritime country, and it has always maintained good relations with several pirate groups there, without many resources, purely relying on imports, and its strategic position is minimal.

Everyone knows that this yellow skin is just a bright banner pushed out by the Koro Kingdom, dressed as a gold-molded and jade-inlaid sculpture, and it has nothing to do to pull out to parade the streets and show the public...... It's like a little white face riding on a noble lady......" A yin and yang strange voice came from the side, shaking his head and sneering, causing several people next to him to laugh too.

Li Jun tilted his head, looked at the burly young man, and asked the official of the Alberon Empire very unpleasantly, "Who is this person, he has no aristocratic qualities at all." ”

The official of the Alberon Empire scolded the burly man with a straight face: "Viscount Tatinsi, please pay attention to the etiquette of the nobles!" ”

The strong man named Ta Tingsi sneered disdainfully, and said angrily: "Dear Earl, I have the title of Viscount for life, but I started as a captain, fought for 20 years, and fought bloodily, so I am a little vulgar, so you don't have to worry about me."

"Li Junzijue, don't worry about this vulgar person, Tatinsi joined the army at the age of eight, killed more than 50 enemies in two years, was promoted to captain exceptionally, and then followed His Majesty to fight against the Alberon Heights, and was ordered in a rebellion of the Grand Duke, conquered the castle of the Grand Duchy, killed all his three clans, and then was ordered to be a lifelong viscount, this title is real, in exchange for life. Said an official at the Imperial Palace of Abelon.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little good and admiration for this Ta Tingsi, and even a few aristocratic girls came over with a smile and a wine glass, wanting something beautiful to happen tonight.

Li Jun glanced at the expressions of the aristocratic officials around him, and found that although everyone praised and encouraged him on the surface, they didn't think so in their hearts, but paid a lot of attention to Ta Tingsi.

"The little white face riding on the noble lady?" Li Jun muttered to himself, looking at the angular muscles of Ta Tingsi's body, attracting a group of noble women who were like wolves and tigers, taking advantage of her husband's absence, to hook up and tease.

"Phew, I think you're the little white face!" Li Jun said indignantly.

Li Jun was bored with a fruit bowl, squatting in a corner and nibbling on watermelon.

Perhaps, everyone really sees themselves as a flag, a bright and bright, paintable flag.

......

Somewhere in the palace, Corot XVII gathered a group of bigwigs and magnates, as if they were discussing something fiercely.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of granting Li Junzijue a fief can be delayed for a period of time, and it has been publicized in the early stage, and Li Junzijue has been set up as an example for the young people of the empire, like a star of tomorrow, brilliantly brilliant, which must be what anyone is looking forward to. A minister said.

"Your Majesty, the minister also agrees, after all, Li Junzijue is only in the misty forest, heroically fighting against dozens of necromantic knights, covering the retreat of his companions, to put it mildly, its credit is only for those civilians, and there is no great contribution to the empire, although this move has the function of a textbook, which can be publicized in the textbook, but except for this matter...... The knighthood should already be the greatest reward. A Ministry of Education official said.

"But for any nobleman, the necessary standard is a title and a fief, once this move is opened...... Your Majesty, I fear that the other magnates will be dissatisfied. A nobleman bowed his head slightly and said softly.

Corot XVII sat on the throne and remained silent and silent.

Everyone knows that since his accession to the throne, Coro XVII has been focusing on a policy of reducing the lord.

A few years ago, a grand duke of the Alberon Empire rebelled, united more than ten magnates, led 130,000 knights, and captured seven cities and twenty-four counties in half a month, and the army and horses approached the imperial capital.

Fortunately, the magnate who promised the Grand Duke to open the gate of the imperial capital and welcome him in suddenly turned against the water and reported all the plans to the king of the Alberon Empire, and set up an ambush around the city gate, surrounded and killed on all sides, annihilated most of the Grand Duke's military horses, and spent half a long time to quell the rebellion, the Grand Duke drew his sword and killed himself, and fell into the river.

The powerful families of the great empires are deeply entrenched and have a long history of interconnection, accompanied by marriages.

Although the royal family has been suppressing, uniting with the minor nobles to weaken the power of the powerful nobles, transferring their student clansmen from the center and exiled them to a small county as magistrates, there is still no way to solve this hidden scourge.

Once a precedent was set in Li Jun, if only the title was granted and the territory was not granted, it was undoubtedly a major victory for the royal family in the undercurrent struggle with the nobles.

The aristocracy of the tenure system was in favor, while the great nobles of the hereditary system began to panic.

The nobles who are in charge of the ruling power of the empire are basically lifelong nobles, easy to control, very obedient, and the title is not brought to life or death, if you serve the royal family well and loyally, after you die, you will keep your children and women without worry.

But Ferson Jowell is an outlier, one of the few people who has a hereditary aristocracy and sits in the position of minister.

It is rumored that the Jowell family is inextricably linked with the royal family, and a certain merry king in the former Corot Empire seems to have had a wonderful affair with the eldest lady of the Jowell family, and half a year later, she had a child out of wedlock, and two years later, she was selected by the king at that time as the next successor of the Jowell family......

But on the subject of the cut, Minister Ferson has not expressed any opinion.

After more than two hours of arguing, no substantial progress was made.

Tentatively!

......

The grand banquet, without the participation of foreign representatives and clergy of the Church, was a feast for the powerful and powerful ministers of Koro.

Everyone relaxed a lot, raised their glasses, and got together with old friends in the political arena, talking about the wine field in their hometown.

There was a handsome man dressed luxuriously, and when the banquet was held, he was always surrounded by aristocratic ladies. Even ladies in their thirties and forties often looked at him charmingly.

The man kissed lightly, and the soft lips of a beautiful female companion beside him caused the other noble ladies to whisper with envy and jealousy.

He held a wine glass and a wine bottle, and walked over to Li Jun elegantly.

"Mr. Lee, would you like to try this bottle of whiskey that has been stored for 70 years?"

Li Jun spit out the core of the fruit in his mouth and looked him up and down.

The appearance is very handsome, a typical little white face, a moderate figure, a little evil when smiling, sunshine, charm, seducing a lady or something, it is the best face standard.

Li Junzai tilted his body, raised his eyebrows, took a bite of the red watermelon, and asked, "Are you?"

"Under the name Nilo, the surname is Dimeronke...... Nilo Dumeronke, the sole heir of the Dumeronc family. ”
