Chapter 167: Princess Hilarily!
The voting went very smoothly and quickly, and the results were soon in.
"The vote was unanimously 111, with 96 in favor, 12 abstentions and 3 against. More than half agreed. The proposal passed!" declared the Duke of Miles.
As the third deputy speaker, the Marquis of Lença still has a lower status than the Duke of Myers.
"The bill has passed, and now the candidate is proposed!" said Duke Myers slowly.
"I propose the Marquis of Rensa!"
"I propose the Duke of Miles!"
"I propose Duke Mitchell!"
These three deputy speakers all have their own henchmen in this deliberation group, and their henchmen immediately stood up and proposed. As for the eight executive directors, no one paid attention to them.
"According to the proposal, the candidates for Speaker are the Marquis of Renza, the Duke of Miles, and the Duke of Mitchell. The vote will now be taken. Ladies and gentlemen, please cast your sacred vote for the person you want. Duke Miles said slowly.
"The Duke of Miles is old. There was no one in this hall who did not despise this fat pig who could only flatter horses. If I were to use the two of them as opponents, this time, I should have the hope of becoming the speaker of the parliament. Duke Mitchell also looked at the nobles below a little nervously, the position of the chairman of the council is very important, even if he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, he can't help but suffer from gains and losses.
The vote of the nobles below went very smoothly, and the Duke of Miles took the statistical list, and the old man's hand could not help but tremble, and then announced, "98 votes for the Marquis of Lensa, 10 votes for the Duke of Miles, and 3 votes for the Duke of Mitchell! I now declare that the Marquis de Rença has become the sixty-seventh President of the Joint Council of the Nobles of this Kingdom. ”
"How is it possible? How can Lensana be elected Speaker with a high vote of 98 votes?Is the world crazy?" said Duke Mitchell's heart was shocked, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe this fact.
Duke Mitchell had always looked down on the Marquis de Rensa, believing him to be just a thorn in Toveen. That's what most people think, too. They never imagined that this seemingly hopeless waste would become the speaker of the joint deliberation group of the nobles of the kingdom.
Duke Mitchell was almost impulsive enough to rant at the outcome, but reason suppressed his madness. If he goes wild in this court, there will be absolutely no good end. He was not Zhao Feng's super powerhouse who had several Sacred Domain powerhouses.
"Why, why, why is this happening?" said Duke Mitchell, looking at the Marquis of Renza, who had triumphantly sat on the throne of the Speaker, and his heart was full of jealousy.
"Why did he come? I see, I see, Lensa, this waste, his hands and feet are so fast, he actually took refuge in him so quickly! No wonder!" Duke Mitchell inadvertently saw Zhao Feng sitting in a dark corner that was almost unnoticed, and finally suddenly realized, and his heart was full of depression.
Duke Mitchell also had the intention of moving closer to Zhao Feng, but he couldn't pull this cheek, and took the initiative to bow his head to a young man who was younger than him and had a family history far shorter than him. The noble bloodline and family history still filled him with a sense of superiority. He was looking forward to Zhao Feng's visit, let him take a hand, and then cooperate with Zhao Feng as an ally. He never expected that Zhao Feng would directly choose the Marquis of Renza, who was inferior to him in any aspect, as his spokesperson.
"Thank you very much for voting for me and casting me as Speaker of the Council. I will definitely work hard. Let us consider the symbol of justice and law. Now I declare the trial of the case of the Earl of Bourne for slandering the Earl of Zhao Feng! "The Marquis of Renza sat on the throne of the Speaker, looking down, and a sense of superiority arose. At the beginning, he was under the command of Tovien, and he had been suppressing his **, honestly in front of the sycophants, and he couldn't hide his envy when he watched this Tovien judge the life and death of the five nobles below. Now, it's finally up to him to judge others.
Escorted by two Flame Knights warriors, Count Bourne walked to the judgment seat with a calm face.
"The man on the judgment seat, but the Earl of Bourne?" said the Marquis of Lunza with a straight face.
"I am!" said the Earl of Bourne.
"Count Byrne, I beg you to swear in the name of the gods that everything you say before this council is true!" said the Marquis of Rensa.
"Gods above, I Bourne swear that everything I say is true in this council!" said the Earl of Bourne.
"Count Byrne, you once falsely accused the heretic Torvien of Count Zhao Feng for killing your son for no reason, is this true?" said the Marquis of Rensa.
"No, I once told the heretic Tovien that Count Zhao Feng sent his men to kill my son, and told him in detail what had happened. I didn't frame Count Zhao Feng for killing my son for no reason. The Earl of Byrne said. He wasn't lying, he was just hiding part of the truth.
"The first witness was summoned to court. The Marquis of Lunza did not chase after him, but summoned him.
One after another of the arranged witnesses stepped up to the witness stand and, guided by the Marquis de Rensa, testified in favor of the Count of Bourne.
Of course, if it weren't for the decisiveness of the Earl of Bourne, the witnesses who appeared in court today would have been the testimony against him.
The outcome of this judgment was predestined before the judgment. After going through them one by one in accordance with the legal procedure, the Marquis de Rença declared, "The vote was unanimously 111 votes, 105 in favor and 6 abstentions. More than half agreed. The verdict passed, and the Earl of Byrne was not guilty!"
When the trial was over, one after another of the great nobles came to the judgment seat and congratulated the Earl of Bourne. Count Bourne also smiled at those nobles, and he couldn't see at all that he had suffered a big loss not long ago, and most of his family's territories had become Zhao Feng's fiefdoms.
Duke Mitchell left the place as soon as he left the court, and glanced at Zhao Feng hatefully before leaving. He blamed all the dissatisfaction of not being able to become the chairman of the review group on Zhao Feng's head, but he was not stupid enough to provoke Zhao Feng on the spot, but buried his resentment in his heart.
The Marquis of Lunza became the chairman of the joint review group of the nobles, which meant that Zhao Feng really had complete control of the joint review group of the nobles of that kingdom.
In the next few days, countless invitations were sent to Zhao Feng's mansion, hoping that he would be able to attend the banquet held by those nobles. Zhao Feng turned down a lot of banquets, and also participated in the banquets held by some nobles with great influence.
Even though Zhao Feng already has Alice, his wife, there are still many nobles who introduce their daughters to Zhao Feng in an attempt to marry into Zhao Feng's family.
In the eyes of some big nobles with a long history and great power, Zhao Feng is still just a nouveau riche. This part of the great nobles did not invite Zhao Feng to join their circle.
However, in the eyes of some small nobles and dilapidated nobles with a long history and prominent titles, but no fiefdom and little power, Zhao Feng is a rare son-in-law and a potential stock with an unlimited future.
A few days later, Zhao Feng was finally summoned by the king and entered the palace to meet the king.
The royal palace of the Panturo Kingdom was built very luxuriously, and under the leadership of a guard, through the corridors and many exquisite buildings, Zhao Feng met the nominal ruler of the Panturo Kingdom of 12 million people, Panturo XI, on the top of a large hall.
"Is this old man the ruler of the kingdom of Panturo? To have such a ruler is really a misfortune for the kingdom of Panturo. Zhao Feng looked at Panturo XI, who was obsessed with male style and caused the border fortress of Dauphin Blue City to fall to the city, but he bent down slightly, and said lightly, "Miracle leader Zhao Feng has seen Your Majesty!"
"Zhao Feng, you have made great achievements by killing millions of insect swarms, destroying dimensional passages, and killing the son of God. Only then was he promoted to the rank of earl. I hope that you will continue to make contributions to the king and country in the future. Panturo King Panturo XI looked at Zhao Feng below and said with majesty. This was the first time he saw Zhao Feng, who stirred up the storm and was an uneasy factor in his eyes, which disgusted him so much.
"Yes! I will still wield the sword in my hand under God's guidance and perform meritorious deeds for the king's country. Zhao Feng said calmly.
"Stand down. Panturo XI said lightly.
The so-called audience was nothing more than a ceremony that indicated that Zhao Feng remained loyal to the Panturo Kingdom and the king. And let the king know the new five nobles. At the same time, it gave the king the opportunity to recruit this nobleman with five titles.
In this world, the king also has great power to declare war against other nations, to appoint chancellors of the exchequer to manage the country's revenues, to appoint ministers of war, to command the country's army, and to appoint and dismiss officials at all levels in the country's fiefdoms. The power is staggering.
Zhao Feng saluted, and then retreated out of the palace.
The guard who led Zhao Feng led Zhao Feng to the outside.
After passing through a corridor, a girl's coquettish laughter came from the front. A beautiful girl wearing a blue dress, with long blue hair with slightly wavy blue hair, tall and noble, with a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as sapphires, and a face and temperament that was better than that of the two sisters, Lila and Lena, walked over surrounded by several maids.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Hilarily!" The guard who led Zhao Feng to come suddenly stopped and saluted the girl in front of him.
"Carl, I heard that my father is going to summon Count Zhao Feng today, is this the legendary hero, Count Zhao Feng?" asked Hilarili, whose beautiful sapphire eyes turned.
