After walking some distance, as more and more people began to look at the most honorable couple in all of Europe, Artoria barely smiled and held Egil's arm less hard.

Egil breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was not so angry at Aurora's prank...... "At least she managed to get Haney out." Otherwise, I don't know how much time it will take......" Egil reassured himself. After that, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a half-true smile, and Xin slowly raised his left hand (his right hand was pulled by Artoria) and beckoned to the nobles.

Immediately afterwards, the entire state banquet hall was full of jubilation, and the nobles seemed to see it. The sages stood up in unison, cheering loudly along with the maids and attendants, and the Norman guards, clapping desperately in the hall with a very good sound, and the effect was magnified several times, and it sounded like tens of thousands of people were doing it.

Seeing this large ticket of aristocrats flattering and flattering smiles. Egil's vanity was greatly satisfied for a while, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became powerful for a while, three points true and seven points false, and the reason why one by one was less sincere was because Egil had to add two points of strength and not let the smile on the corner of his mouth expand with a happy mood, after all, he was an emperor, not a comedian.

The smile must be subtle and mysterious, and the dagger must not be too open...... That's it. Although there was no spotlight at this moment, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the body of this couple, wearing a dark purple dress and light blue gemstone jewelry, and His Majesty Emperor Egil, who was wearing a black dress and a dark blue cape, and a saber from the scabbard of a large number of precious stones, hanging from his waist. It wasn't until they slowly walked down the red carpet to the high platform in the middle of the state banquet hall that Egil pressed his hand down several times in succession to signal that everyone could stop, and the applause rang out for a few minutes

Immediately after, he had been following Egil, but compared to the very popular emperor, Jian Yi was the non-existent archbishop Peter immediately stepped forward and began to preside over Egil's coronation. At the same time, the nobility, especially the Rus' nobles of Eastern Europe, was assured that their life would be better and better.

In fact, the aristocracy still had some disagreement on the so-called "life is getting better". It is true that because of the effect of the Norman Empire's all-out efforts to climb the technology tree, their living standards and quality of life have improved, but that is only reflected in food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment. But in terms of politics and economy, they have fewer and fewer privileges.

There are even rumors now that His Majesty the Emperor is going to introduce a new law that will pardon all serfs in the empire and become free men.

When the time comes, these eight generations of their ancestors will be slaves, and they will be able to choose their jobs at will, leave their territories, and even achieve an equal status with them in the legal sense, and even climb to the position of the aristocratic class after several generations, and even climb to the heads of their former masters

How is this powerful? This is not a scrape?! Is His Majesty the Emperor's head caught in the door panel?!

In short, for such a policy, both the so-called "good" aristocracy and the "bad" aristocracy. Wise nobles, fool nobles, nobles with big power, nobles with little power...... As long as it is a creature belonging to the aristocratic class, the ministry will never like such a policy, and this character has nothing to do with it, it is purely a matter of class attributes.

However, Ejel did not want to be wiped out. After five years in this world, the twenty-one-year-old Egil, who is now in his youth, has long passed the age of "cutting it if it doesn't like it". It's not a good thing to know that it's not a good thing to be left or right. Maintaining a more powerful aristocracy at this stage is in fact equally beneficial to the stability of the country—after all, he is the emperor of the feudal empire, not the mob leader of the revolutionary republic. For the sake of the empire's prosperity, he could indeed ask the nobles to sacrifice a little profit. ...,

In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just a different way of recruiting, and the serfs who wanted to become freemen did not have any means of production at all, and could only work in the territory of the nobility? As for the privileges, there were no television, newspapers, and no Internet these days. If you have clean hands and feet, who will find out?! Even if you find out, no one will expose it. A group of Esby nobles who don't know how to study in the summer are really incorrigible idiots.

Of course, this kind of thing is not suitable for talking about in such a festive time, but such a large gathering of nobles also gives them a very good opportunity, one by one, if one or two nobles meet alone, and dissuade this decree, most of them will be cut off by His Majesty the Emperor, but now the nobles gathered in Kiev have nearly a dozen names combined, and those nobles from further afield, Germany, France, and Britain, also represent the same interests, more nobles, and in this way, if one by one, a third of the nobles will unite and write collectively, I believe that even His Majesty the Emperor will seriously consider it.

Therefore, in recent times, the nobles have been in contact with each other privately, and they don't understand the horror of the Norman spy network, and even sometimes, they directly told these things completely to the Norman spy who is a Norman nobleman, so soon, Egil got such news.

"So I say, these guys are really just a bunch of idiots and shit. Egir lamented as he cursed, and decided to postpone the emancipation of the serfs a little...... "His Majesty the Emperor is so great, like the eternal sun, radiating an incomparable light, shining on all things in the world...... ，”

At this moment, perhaps because the archbishop's speech was too good, the audience erupted in cheers that interrupted the slightly distracted Egil and brought his attention back to the real world.

"What are you thinking? It's a critical time, stop making jokes. Egil's mind came to the voice of his cheap sister Aurora, and his heart made the guy completely sober.

"Why. Egir agreed, and then asked for a year of age, and whispered to Archbishop Peter: "All right, Archbishop, now is the time." ”

Archbishop Peter looked down at nearly half of the speech, and couldn't help but feel sorry, after all, it is also a rare honor to preside over a coronation ceremony such as an emperor or a tsar, or a triumph, and the archbishop is also prepared for a long time before he played, but because Her Royal Highness the queen wasted too much unnecessary time before, the time originally left for him had to be cut a lot.

As a last resort, Peter stopped speaking. He handed the speech to a field order priest next to him, and then opened it again, and the mahogany box on the tray held by another priest took out a large number of diamonds, gems, pearls, and a dazzling crown made of pure gold—one by one, one of the reasons why Egil did not use steel to cast the crown mouth again, one of the reasons was that the Rus' people in Eastern Europe did not know the goods and did not understand the meaning of his steel crown The other one, it is also this increasingly depraved guy who wants to show his heart

"An emperor, even a king, even an archduke, has a crown made of gold, but a great emperor like me only has a crown of steel...... That's a bit embarrassing to say. ”

With such a pretext, at the cost of ~10,000 gold coins, Egil obtained such a priceless crown from the royal jeweler, as for the gems and something, they were all exchanged cheaply from the system, perhaps because there was a problem with the values of the system, and these "stones that look good, but have very limited practical use" are sold for cabbage prices, if it is not for Egil's values, there is a problem, think point. Coupons are closely related to your lifespan, so if you don't want to exchange them for bonds, and then resell them in large quantities, then you can't talk about the Norman Empire's military reform funds, so it's solved. ...,

Of course, then again, these extraordinarily exquisite, extremely delicate and very large jewels of the heart, even a rich man like the Pope's Holy See, I am afraid that he will not be able to consume much...... As soon as such a priceless crown appeared, the surrounding nobles couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's incredible, such a beautiful crown of heart...... Blindness is a work of art!"

"It's so beautiful, such a gem!"

"Oh my God!"

The nobles exclaimed, the men were better, but the women were a little unbearable, looking directly at the huge sapphire on the crown, which weighed more than thirty carats, and only wanted to snatch these things in their hearts...... "This is the authority that God has given you, my Tsar." Archbishop Peter ignored the exclamations around him and said to Egil.

"That's what I'm looking forward to. Unlike the last time he was in Rome, when he answered Pope Innocent III's question, this time Egil did not say anything sincere, honored, or anything like that, but said it in humble terms.

"This thing is for me, and only I deserve such authority!" said Egil, and then whispered to the exclamations of the nobles, "I'm sorry. Then he snatched the emperor from the hands of Archbishop Peter. (To be continued)
