Chapter 145: Descendants of the Royal Family
The trial on 15 January sentenced more than 3,000 to death, more than 10,000 to life imprisonment, and the remaining 90,000 to 30 years.
After this trial, Ouyang Yu completely won the support of the people of Gaul, and the people's calls for her to ascend the throne became higher and higher, and these calls all reached Ouyang Yu's ears, but Ouyang Yu had his own plan, and it was not yet the time to establish a country and become king.
The arrest on January 14 and the trial on January 15 caught the behind-the-scenes supporters of the mercenary group off guard, and the nobles of Gaul did not expect that Ouyang Yu would change color as soon as he moved, and the nobles' wings were completely reduced.
The nobles were shocked and stepped up at the same time, and the heads of the nobles who had made the most profits during the occupation of the Imperial Army secretly left the city of St. Ives, and took the magic train to Clermont County, more than 400 kilometers away, and entered the home of the largest nobleman in the region, the Count of Ferrand.
"Where is that Highness?"
The Counts of Ferrand came to the house of the Marquis of Alfred, the Counts of Baptiste, the Counts of Bertrand and the Counts of Edmund.
"Your Highness has been waiting for you in the study for a long time. ”
Count Ferrand led the four of them into the study, where a boy of fifteen or sixteen sat behind a large desk.
"Your Highness Dominica, we can be regarded as seeing you!"
As soon as he entered the study, the Marquis of Alfred cried and fell to his knees, and the other three followed.
Dominique Evarister Bourbon, is the great-grandson of Bourbon II, the illegitimate son of the crown prince Justin born at a very early age, Dominic's mother is the daughter of the Count of Ferrand, because Bourbon II does not recognize him as an illegitimate child, all the treatment of the prince of the Gallic Kingdom is not at all, and his existence as a disgraceful illegitimate child is also hidden, only Bourbon II, the crown prince Justine, the Count of Ferrand and a limited number of people know his identity.
Originally, after the destruction of the Gallic Kingdom, the Count of Ferrand once wanted to kill his grandson, so as not to be known by the empire that the only royal heir was hidden in his own home, thus bringing death to himself and his family, but the risk is often accompanied by opportunities, if the country can be restored in the future, Dominica ascends the throne as the king, as a grandfather and the biggest supporter, the benefits are also innumerable, and then the Ferrand family can become the most noble family in Gaul outside the royal family, and he himself can also hold endless power above one person and under ten thousand people, so after repeated consideration, the Count of Ferrand finally did not start, but hid his grandson immediately。
Later, Ouyang Yu quickly occupied Gaul in the south, and the Phoenix Empire was defeated and somehow recognized Ouyang Yu's occupation of Gaul, which made the Count of Ferrand feel that there was no hope of recovering the country, and all the investments he made were wasted, but after Ouyang Yu 14, After the trial of the Gallic traitor on the fifteenth greatly shook the foundation of the nobility, the Count of Ferrand saw a ray of light again, and he quietly revealed the existence of Dominica to the Marquis of Alfred and others.
The four Marquis Alfred praised them quite well, fully showing the excitement and joy of a courtier after meeting the sole heir of the royal family.
"When the old minister and others learned of the existence of His Highness, they sincerely thanked the ancestors for their favor of the kingdom and left the only seed for the kingdom and the late Majesty. The Marquis of Alfred stood up from the ground and wiped his tears and said: " Your Highness, fortunately there is still your existence, otherwise the Gallic Kingdom will be taken away by Ouyang's woman, you may not know, Ouyang's woman is very good at buying people's hearts, giving a little favor Many ignorant untouchables have been trapped, and want her to ascend the throne as king to replace the Bourbon family to rule Gaul, but most of the Gaul people are still loyal to the royal family, loyal to Your Highness, I hope Your Highness can stand up and call on your loyal subjects to fight against that woman, and then we will be able to drive that woman out and build the glory of the Bourbon dynasty again。 ”
Dominic was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he didn't know who he was a prince until his grandfather, the Count of Ferrand, explained everything to him, and it turned out that he also had a father, and his father was still Justin, the crown prince of the Gallic kingdom, who had died.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the age when he likes to dream and fantasize, and the same is true for Dominic, the sudden change of identity, coupled with the loyalty of several big nobles in front of him, makes his heart uncontrollable and swells, and he feels that the whole world revolves around him, and he is the protagonist of the story.
According to his grandfather's instructions beforehand, Dominic pretended to be majestic and said: " This is natural, my Bourbon dynasty has a history of more than 400 years, hard work is deeply loved by the subjects, a handful of people who have been bewitched by Ouyang do not represent the will of all subjects, most of the subjects are still on our side, I believe that we can overcome all difficulties to reshape orthodoxy, and all subjects are a bright future, but I am alone and weak and need to rely on a few more efforts, and when I ascend the throne, I will definitely be rewarded for meritorious deeds and will not be disadvantaged to you. ”
"Thank you, Your Highness, I will swear allegiance to Your Highness!" ×4.
The four Marquis Alfred, together with the Count of Ferrand, half-knelt in front of Dominic again, and at this moment Dominic felt very good, he seemed to have seen the moment when all the people surrendered after he ascended the throne, and the desire for power in his heart began to swell unlimitedly.
After a few days of deliberation, the six of them tentatively decided on the rules of the uprising, the Count of Ferrand and the Marquis of Alfred were responsible for liaising with other nobles in the country and secretly recruiting troops, while the Count of Baptiste, the Count of Bertrand and the Count of Edmund, one went to seek the intervention of the Council of Eastern Nations, one went to the Federation to seek support, and the other went to seek the support of the National Defense Council, anyway, as long as they thought they could help, they would go to find it.
On February 1st, 313 years ago, thirteen days before the New Year in another world, Dominic, who was in Clermont County, publicly appeared and issued a proclamation of "Letter to All Subjects", in which Dominic first expressed his unnutritious thanks to Ouyang Yu in a high-sounding manner, and then changed his mind to ask Ouyang Yu and her army to leave Gaul within a time limit, and also showed the resolution of the Council of Eastern Nations asking Ouyang Yu to return the territory of the Gallic Kingdom.
Dominica himself, the "Letter to All Subjects" and the resolution of the Council made Gaul a mess like a few bombshells, and the nobles everywhere immediately stood up to recognize Dominica's identity and demanded that Ouyang Yu abide by the resolution of the Council and leave Gaul with the army within the time limit.
Unlike the one-sided nobles, the Gallic people are divided into two factions, one supports Dominica to inherit the throne but is not like Ouyang Yu leaving, because their food, clothing, and housing are provided by Ouyang Yu, if Ouyang Yu leaves, who will give them food, drink and protection, while the other part of the Gallic people still support Ouyang Yu with disdain, and question the authenticity of Dominica's identity.
On the day that Ouyang Yu learned of Dominic's existence and heard the "Letter to All Subjects", several special guests came to the door.
"Welcome, everyone, we're old friends. ”
Ouyang Yu invited a few special guests into the reception room, and there were three people Ouyang Yu had seen all of them before, and they were three of the seven people who had been recommended by Duke Charles to become a member of the federation more than a year ago.
The leader is the big businessman Lawrence, and the other two are also influential businessmen, Ouyang Yu estimates that they must have come to the door today for Dominic and his "Letter to All Subjects".
After some unnutritious greetings, Lawrence smiled and took out a document from his arms and handed it to Ouyang Yu, Ouyang Yu took it curiously and smiled, the document was the conditions offered by the Marquis of Alfred and the Count of Ferrand and others in order for the Federation to support them, and now these conditions have been placed in front of Ouyang Yu, which shows that the Federation is not optimistic about them, and at the same time is saying to Ouyang Yu that your conditions must be better than theirs, otherwise the Federation will really support Count Ferrand and them.
Ouyang Yu hastily looked at it and put down the file, put his hands on his lower abdomen, and the two thumbs kept rotating, representing that the owner of the fingers was thinking, Lawrence and they didn't bother, they drank tea leisurely, and waited quietly for Ouyang Yu to say his conditions.
"Ladies and gentlemen. After more than ten minutes, Ouyang Yu spoke, "We don't say secret words, you know better than me whether that Dominic is real or false, but I want to tell you that dead people will not fulfill their promises." ”
Lawrence and the three of them glanced at each other, thinking that this was indeed the case, but they still did not speak and continued to listen to Ouyang Yu.
"I plan to implement the policy of land nationalization in the near future to recover all the fiefs of the nobles, after the nationalization of the land, the existing mineral resources will be sorted out, rectified and integrated, and then external bidding to seek cooperation with developers, and a number of confiscated assets will also be sold, in addition, I heard that women from the nobility have always been priceless in the slave market, and the higher the title, the more expensive the price, I don't know if that's the case?"
After Ouyang Yu finished speaking, Lawrence smiled, and the other two also laughed, they were very satisfied with Ouyang Yu's price adjustment, according to the laws of the other world, all the resources on the fiefdom, including the underground, belonged to the nobles, so the mineral resources were forbidden areas that merchants could not touch, and now Ouyang Yu planned to sell the mineral resources on the confiscated fief to them, just this Lawrence They would instantly fall to Ouyang Yu, as for the latter two conditions, they could only be regarded as icing on the cake.
Lawrence happily stood up and stretched out his right hand, "Your Majesty Ouyang, I wish us a happy cooperation in the days to come." ”
"Thank you and have a great time working together. ”
