At nine o'clock in the morning of September 3, 312 in the imperial calendar, in the council hall of the Grand Duke's Mansion in Luxon City, Avril's throne was empty, and there were more than sixty large and small nobles sitting on both sides below, some of them had natural expressions, some looked nervous, and some of their faces were full of expectation, but all of them turned their eyes to the front, sitting on the body of the middle-aged man who was the first in Avril's left hand, he was the Marquis of Lusen, the leader of the ducal faction.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke has arrived, please stand!"

Hearing the shouts of the internal officials, all the nobles in the council hall stood up, only the old god was at ease with his eyes closed, and the Marquis of Lucerne was still sitting on the chair and did not move, he was Avril's uncle and elder, and he had the privilege of not worshipping Avril when he saw him.

"His Royal Highness the Grand Duke!" ×N.

"Please be seated, everybody. ”

After some fixed procedures, Avril sat down with all the nobles, and as soon as she sat down, Avril opened her mouth and asked, "Is there anything to discuss today?" Avril actually asked knowingly, she already knew about today's topic.

Sure enough, as soon as Avril's words fell, a nobleman stood up, walked to the middle of the council hall and said loudly: "Your Highness, I have something to play!"

"Here's the show. All the people present sighed in their hearts.

"Say it. Avril's expression was calmer, but her voice was a little lower, and it was clear that she didn't want to be so calm in her heart.

The nobleman's name was Angus, the second viscount, and as a pawn he would be the first to stir up the topic, and Viscount Angus looked left and right, and all the people present were focused on him, and he was very satisfied with the feeling of being the center of the crowd.

"Your Highness, His Excellency Count Ouyang has been taken captive by the enemy for more than a month, because there is no substitute for many important things, and the generals of the army also have various reasons to disobey the orders of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, and ask His Highness to take back the vacant position of His Excellency Count Ouyang as soon as possible, and then appoint a person of high moral integrity to exercise power for His Highness, so that the 150,000 army can return to His Highness's control. ”

"What do you think?" said Avril after listening to the usual questions of the current nobles.

"I am in favor of taking it back and assigning it separately. ”

"I'm in favor of it too. ”

"Me too. ”

Most of the nobles present were in favor of recovering Ouyang Yu's rights, and the one-sided situation Avril had already expected, but even many nobles who followed Ouyang Yu closely before, and the nobles of the neutral faction also spoke out in favor, but to her surprise, Avril thought that these nobles would come out to protest against two sentences, because once Ouyang Yu's rights were withdrawn, they could only be unlucky, but things did not go as she imagined.

Avril vaguely felt that things were a little out of her control, and the nobles below were too united, which reminded her of what Ouyang Yu had said to her before, if the ministers were all together, then the monarch would have trouble sleeping, and the best way was to let the ministers be divided into two or several factions to fight with each other, so that the monarch could sit back and relax, the current situation was very much like the situation Ouyang Yu said, Avril looked at the Marquis of Lusen who was sitting on her left hand very covertly, the Marquis of Lusen was still an old god with his eyes closed, and it seemed that he couldn't hear the reaction of the outside world at all。

"I'm against it!"

"I'm against it too!"

The voice of opposition was very harsh in the midst of the voice, and everyone turned their eyes to the person who was loudly opposed, and even the Marquis de Lucerne opened his eyes slightly to look at the person who objected.

The people who shouted against it were Count Trist and Viscount Bryan, after Ouyang Yu came to power, in addition to the Marquis of Luxon, the two of them were the biggest vested interests, and it was also Ouyang Yu who rescued the two families from prison and restored the titles of the two, at the beginning, none of the nobles present who were put in prison by Minister Zuo came forward to intercede, and after being released from prison, Count Trist and Viscount Bryan also had great opinions on the nobles of Luxon, and they have always been at odds with the nobles of the Duchy of Luxon, so if Ouyang Yu falls, the two of them are likely to be put in prison again because of the failure of political morale, so even if it wasn't for Ouyang Yu, for their own sake, they needed to stand up and shout against it.

"His Excellency Count Ouyang, although the empire has captured it, there is no bad news, we can send someone to contact the empire to pay a ransom to save her back, His Excellency Count Ouyang is too important to our Duchy of Lucerne, we can't live without her!"

Count Trist's objection was immediately refuted, and it was Viscount Angus who spoke at the beginning, he stood up again and said loudly: "Your Excellency Count Trist, you just said that our Duchy of Lucerne would not be able to do without His Excellency Count Ouyang, this sentence is too much, I admit that His Excellency Count Ouyang is indeed an outstanding talent in ten thousand, but without her, would our Duchy of Lucerne be destroyed? Without our silent efforts behind the scenes, His Excellency Earl Ouyang alone would not have been able to accomplish anything. ”

Count Trist pointed angrily at Viscount Angus, "You don't mean that, you are secretly changing concepts, no matter how powerful a person is, it is common sense that he can't accomplish everything!"

Viscount Angus spread his hands and smiled: "Then you just admit that without His Excellency Count Ouyang, it will have no impact on our Principality of Lucerne?"

"How could it be that there is no impact?!" Count Trist glanced around and retorted: "If our Duchy of Lucerne wants to fight against the Imperial Army, it all depends on His Excellency Earl Ouyang, if it weren't for her, we would have perished a long time ago, not only are you not grateful, but you fall into the well when she is in trouble, if we lose His Excellency Earl Ouyang, who will stop the Imperial Army, you? or you?"

Everyone who was pointed out by Count Trist lowered their heads, and these nobles were very good at intriguing and tricking, but if they were to go to the battlefield to command the battle, they knew seven and six and didn't know anything.

"The victory in the battle is the result of every soldier fighting desperately on the front line, not the credit of any one person hiding in the safe rear command, as long as we are sincerely united, the imperial army is not so terrible!"

Viscount Angus's dignified words won warm applause, and the Marquis of Lusen, who seemed to be nourishing, also smiled, and Viscount Angus, who was staring at the master's expression, knew that his words were right, and he was very happy in his heart, and planned to stop the argument and decide the bill to reclaim Ouyang Yu's rights, he walked up to Count Trist and said, "Your Excellency, there is one thing I have been unable to figure out and want to ask you for advice. ”

Count Trist didn't know why and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

The corner of Viscount Angus's mouth hung on the corner of the treacherous smile and said: "When I first saw His Excellency Ouyang, I had a question, who is His Excellency Ouyang, where is her birthplace, who are her parents? Therefore, I have been constantly investigating her background, but no matter how I search, I can't find her birthplace and parents, as if she appeared out of thin air, a person can't appear in this world out of thin air, so I have a bold guess, and a month ago someone brought me a shocking news from the former Gallic Kingdom, our captive Lord Ouyang Count actually appeared at the banquet of the Governor of the Gallic occupation area of the empire, and the Governor of Gaul respectfully addressed her as Your Highness, everyone, you heard it right, the person who brought me the news is absolutely reliable, the Governor of Gaul addressed His Excellency Count Ouyang as His Royal Highness!"

There was a commotion in the council room, and the news of Viscount Angus shocked everyone present, especially Avril stood up in surprise, and she said loudly to Viscount Angus: "Tell me what you know in detail!"

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

Viscount Angus told all the things at the banquet that day, and of course there were a lot of his own personal goods.

"The special guards next to the crown prince of the Phoenix Empire will actually protect her?His Royal Highness the future crown princess of the Phoenix Empire?how is this possible?how is this possible!" Avril returned to her chair in despair after hearing this, her face could no longer control her expression full of surprise, disappointment, and ...... Hatred, after all, Avril's father was killed in the battle with the Imperial Army, and the relationship between her and the Phoenix Empire is a national enemy and family hatred, coupled with Viscount Angus's clever tongue, Avril really thought that Ouyang Yu deliberately concealed her identity to deceive her, and wanted to use the Duchy of Lucerne to break into the Eastern Alliance, so she would have hatred.

"Your Highness, I can swear to my ancestors that everything I just said is the truth, and if there is a lie, I will fall into hell after death!"

Swearing to the ancestors in another world is the highest oath, and falling into hell is the most vicious curse, and hearing the oath of Viscount Angus, Avril couldn't help but believe his words even more.

After swearing an oath, Viscount Angus turned to Count Trist and asked, "I just said so much, can Your Excellency explain it to me?"

"This ...... This...... I...... I didn't know ...... such a thing. ”

Before Count Trist could finish his words, he was rudely interrupted by Viscount Angus, "I don't think you don't know, but you already knew, right?"

"You're spewing blood!" Count Trist's eyes widened, glaring at Viscount Angus fiercely.

Viscount Angus didn't care about Count Trist's eyes as if he was about to eat people, and pointed to his nose and said, "I spew blood?" Then please explain why all of us are in favor of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke's revocation of His Excellency Earl Ouyang's rights, and you and Viscount Bryan are strongly opposed?"

"That's because ....... ”

Count Trist's words were interrupted by Viscount Angus again, "Don't say what you just said, this world can do without anyone, and our Duchy of Lucerne can also defeat the Imperial Army without His Excellency Count Ouyang." ”

"I ...... I....... Interrupted twice and his position was revealed, Count Trist fell into a state of speechlessness.

Viscount Angus showed a triumphant smile, turned to Avril and said: "Your Highness, please order the revocation of all the rights of His Excellency Earl Ouyang and appoint another virtuous person, and then please order the arrest and investigation of Count Trist and Viscount Brian, I suspect that they have betrayed our Duchy of Lucerne in a foreign country and are willing to sell the interests of the princess of the enemy country." ”

"Your Highness, please!" ×N.

All the nobles in the council hall echoed loudly, and even the Marquis of Lusen, who had not spoken all this time, opened his eyes and stood up and said, "Avril, I also agree, you can give the order." ”

Soon the order document was drafted and placed in front of Avril, who picked up the ink-stained quill and hesitated a little, but when she thought of her father's tragic death, the last bit of hesitation disappeared in an instant, and she signed her name on the document and then stamped her seal.

"Your Highness is wise!" × N, all the nobles in the council hall complimented together, and their faces were all filled with happy smiles, as if Ouyang Yu's power had fallen into their hands.

"Yike...... Ah......h

A scream sounded outside the council chamber, and the Marquis de Lucson frowned in displeasure, and instructed Viscount Angus: "Go outside and see what is going on? ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Viscount Angus, who had been handpicked by his master, ran out of the council chamber in a hurry, but it didn't take long for him to run back again, and the smile on his face just now was gone, replaced by fear and trepidation.

She ...... She...... She took ...... Army...... Return...... It's back!" Viscount Angus seemed to be so frightened that he could not even speak.

"Who returned with the army...... Not good...... Could it be ......!" Marquis Lusen's face changed suddenly, and he no longer had the leisurely appearance of Zhizhu sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai before, and stood up in a panic and looked towards the door of the council hall.

A large group of heavily armed soldiers rushed into the council chamber, and the soldiers rushed into the council hall and quickly blocked all exits, and then there was a burst of bullets loading, and the guns were pointed at the nobles present.

"Yo, everyone's here, it seems like I've missed a lot of good shows. ”

Ouyang Yu appeared at the gate of the council hall, at this moment the entire Luxon City was already under the control of the 87th Division, the tanks lined up on the streets, all the traffic arteries were also guarded by a large number of soldiers and machine guns, a huge storm that swept through the Principality of Luxon was coming.
