Chapter 481: Hand over Ice City
When Mei Yi walked into the palace hall, the eyes of the nobles on both sides of the hall fell on him, and in addition to all the surprise, anger, jealousy, and contempt in the past, there was also a deep fear.
Zezong, Liuxi, and Pei Yi have been staring at Mei Yi closely, not knowing how this human being was born and stirred up the national political situation.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the king and queen walked out, with their faces blue on their faces. After sitting down, King Ai Qi said coldly, "Lord Marquis, you are here!" ”
Mei Yi saluted respectfully, and without waiting for King Ai Qi to speak, she hurriedly said, "Rong Yu, hurry up and bring me the gift list I prepared for His Majesty, the Queen and the Princess." ”
Everyone in the hall saw the nearly half-meter-thick gift list that Rong Yu was holding, and their eyes were straight.
The royal family of the Elven Kingdom was originally very rich, but it couldn't withstand years of wars against Warcraft and civil strife, coupled with the great success of Aize's reign, the family was slowly emptied, and the wealth was transferred to the nobles below. In the hands of Azer, the kingdom was riddled with holes and holes.
If it weren't for Rong Yu's forcible blood transfusion to the Elven Kingdom, the royal family would definitely sue for peace with the opposition nobles, and Esther would have suffered.
King Ai Qi frowned and looked at the thick gift list, and his heart was shocked: This kid is really rich! If he has the heart to subvert the royal family, I am afraid that it will be a more terrifying force than the opposition aristocracy!
He said coldly: "Marquis Meiyi, your hands are so long, they have actually reached the Southern Fairy Forest!" What caused you to get so angry, and actually destroyed the warship of the Southern Fairy Forest and blew up the castle! ”
The king has already stood up.
Mei Yi said: "The Southern Fairy Forest robbed my Ice and Snow City merchant ship, and according to the laws of the kingdom, I have the right to retaliate." The people in that castle actually attacked the warship of my Ice and Snow City, which is tantamount to openly declaring war on the Ice and Snow City. Your Majesty, I have not done anything beyond the laws of the Kingdom. ”
The king was choked at once, and said stiffly, "What about the people you took from the castle of Ice City?" ”
Mei Yi said: "Do you mean that kid Fengyu?" The pervert imprisoned nearly a hundred women from good families in the castle for play, and also secretly hid a large number of over-the-top artifacts, including jade seals, thrones, royal robes, and a large number of armor, bows and arrows, and spirits that the kingdom explicitly forbade non-lords to hide. I felt that he was suspected of rebellion, so I brought him together and didn't dare to deal with it privately. ”
When King Ai Qi heard this, his already blue face became even more ugly. He roared, "Do you know who that is? That's the Duke of the Kingdom, and you have so openly humiliated him! You are simply so bold that you don't know whether to live or die! Do you really think you can change the world on your own? ”
Queen Elsa, who was sitting on the side, sat there casually and said to herself: "My dear, he really can."
The ministers were simply stupefied.
Ai Ze's son is Ai Ze's heart and soul baby, he is also bad to the bone, he has been walking sideways in the south, bullying men and women, bullying the market, doing all kinds of evil, and openly believes that he is the heir to the throne, and wants to divide the north and south with King Ai Qi, and take the opportunity to go north.
King Ai Qi knew that his current strength was not good, and many ministers in the court had colluded with Ai Ze and Feng Yu, so he endured this breath and turned a blind eye to him.
Zezong stepped forward and said in disbelief: "I heard that you defeated Fengyu's castle in just one morning?" Is this true? Can you tell us what happened? ”
Ai Qi waved her hand impatiently and asked Mei Yi to speak.
Mei Yi said: "As I just said, the army of the lord of the Southern Fairy Forest openly provoked and robbed the merchant ships of Ice and Snow City, and our soldiers of Ice and Snow City relied on the steam ironclad battleships developed by those civilian engineers to crash and destroy all the warships of the Southern Fairy Forest. We have not committed any offences against civilian vessels. ”
"The matter of Ice City and the Southern Fairy Forest, this Feng Yu wanted to intervene, and his soldiers attacked our warship with stones, rolling logs, and spiritual magic, causing more than a hundred casualties and intensifying the conflict. My Minister of War happened to be a brainless elven reckless man who took the liberty of giving the order to open fire, destroying Fengyu's castle, freeing the imprisoned girl and those who had criticized him, and capturing Fengyu. ”
Ai Qi twitched his face.
More than 100 casualties? How dare you say it! The spies planted in the palace of Fengyu said that you have no casualties at all! You'd better shirk your responsibilities completely!
Mei Yi suddenly laughed and said, "I remembered a funny thing, when Fengyu was arrested, he cried with tears and snot on his face, saying that he wanted to find his father to kill us." People in their forties are still crying for their father, what a shame for the aristocracy! ”
Before Ai Qi had time to get angry, Mei Yi said: "Your Majesty, his surname is Feng, and he is not in the traditional list of old clans such as the Qi Clan, the Fairy Forest Liu Clan, and the True Spirit City Ze Clan, how can he be named a duke?" ”
His Majesty was speechless for a moment, and said, "There are some reasons for this. ”
As soon as the king's momentum weakened, Mei Yi's momentum came up, and he said impassionedly: "His Majesty the King gave me the title and let me feudal the Ice and Snow City, just to let us preach the teachings of the goddess, be diligent in government and love the people, and benefit one party." In the first battle of the Southern Fairy Forest, countless local goblin residents begged to take our warship to the Ice and Snow City to survive, our warships and merchant ships had limited capacity, and could only take more than 900 people, and some people who did not board the ship even threw themselves into the river and wanted to swim with us to the Ice and Snow City thousands of miles away. I will not comment on all this, and I ask His Majesty the King to make a judgment. ”
Ai Qi said in his heart: It's not good, this kid has roasted me on the fire again. I've got to get the ball back.
Ai Qi said: "Enough! You're a good person! ”
Mei Yi said: "Ice and Snow City is a poor mountain and bad water that no one wants, and the Southern Fairy Forest is a rich southern land, if it were me, I would never put the people in such a desperate situation." ”
Ai Qi said, "What do you want?" Feudal Southern Fairy Forest? ”
Mei Yixi said: "Is it okay?" Great, I've wanted to go south for a long time. ”
The king said with a tiger face: "If you go to the Southern Fairy Forest, what will Ice City do?" That place is so rich now, are you willing to give it up? ”
Mei Yi was surprised: "What's so reluctant about this? You can open the gift list and take a look. ”
The king was puzzled, and opened the gift list, which read:
His Majesty the King is hereby presented to the students of the Ice and Snow City Ice and Snow City with a total of 10 sacks of essays in the "I Love the Motherland Mother" theme essay contest.
The queen is presented with 100 sets of fashions, 100 sets of jewelry, and 100 sets of cosmetics.
Ice City is presented to Princess Agiro as a gift for her eighth birthday.
Below......
Not down there?!
While Ai Qi was shocked, he was surprised: "Why do you use such a long paper for a gift list of three or four lines?" ”
Mei Yi said honestly: "Anyone who sees such a thick gift list will lose three points of anger in his heart." ”
When Ai Qi heard this, he said angrily: "Cecilia, get out!" Get him out of here! ”
In the past hour or so, Cecilia was almost frightened several times, and she immediately went up and took Meiyi out.
At this moment, she also gave up.
This kind of man is really not something I can control.
* * *
After the court meeting, Zezong, Liuxi, Pei Yi and the queen stayed behind to discuss how to deal with the bad things in Meiyi and the three places in the south.
Zezong, Liuxi, and Pei Yi suddenly felt a pain in their heads.
Zezong, Liuxi, and Pei Yi also felt the same way as the king, feeling that this Great Lord Meiyi was too rich and powerful, and if he intended to start a rebellion, he might be even more difficult than Christine and the others.
After they voiced their concerns, the king picked up the cover of the gift slip on the table and threw it directly at Zezong.
The gift list is like a long white practice, flying out more than ten meters.
Zezong grabbed it and found that he had written two or three lines on the first page.
Zezong said angrily: "This is teasing the king!" There can be no forgiveness! ”
Ai Qi said expressionlessly: "Let's see before we convict." ”
Zezong's eyes widened as an egg, and he said loudly, "What does he want to do?" I just don't get it! ”
Liu Xin took the gift sheet and looked at it, shouting that he couldn't understand it.
Pei Yi took the gift list again and said, "How can there be such a person in this world?" I don't understand what he's trying to do! ”
The queen walked down, took the gift sheet, and said with a smile: "At least, we don't have to worry about him starting a rebellion." ”
"Queen, you don't seem to be surprised at all. ”
The queen said, "I'm astonished at the ten sacks of essays. Your Majesty, you have seen it this year. ”
Ai Qi finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed, "This bastard, I feel like I'm here to entertain me." I gave the princess and queen a heavy gift, but I was given ten sacks of essays. It's really a panic to burn money, how much does it cost to spend so much paper? ”
Ze Zong said: "I once estimated that the wealth of Ice and Snow City is about three times that of Hua Ling. He actually said that if he didn't want it, he wouldn't want it, and he would give it to the princess. Loyalty and patriotism are commendable, but they don't feel normal. ”
The queen said: "You miscalculated, when Rong Yu came to the palace as a guest, he told me that the wealth of Ice and Snow City is about ten times that of the true spirit plus the flower spirit, and it is still growing wildly. It was not those numbers on the books that preceded it, but strong industrial capacity, a friendly business system, a fair legal system, and a strong educational capacity. ”
Zezong's eyes were about to come out: "Ten times? What exactly does he want from the Kingdom? What more can we give him? ”
The queen said, "I'll ask him about this when I get back." What do you think about the matter of Ice City, and how do we receive it? ”
"Your Majesty, Queen, my granddaughter Liumei told me that Ice City is now a freak in the kingdom, incompatible with us, just like Meiyi. IMHO, I'm afraid none of us will be able to govern this place at the moment. It's best to use it as a princess's style and continue to hand it over to the Meiyi governance team to take care of. ”
Ai Qi was greatly satisfied and said, "Liuxi, you have spoken to my heart. What should I do with this kid? ”
"The conservative aristocracy is staring at us, and the power of innovation is also staring at us, and if His Majesty the King personally breaks this balance, he will always offend the other faction. I think it's better to call the three of them over and hold a closed-door meeting with Meiyi, and let them talk about it by themselves! ”
Ai Qi slapped the table and roared, "Okay! He is one of the best talents in the kingdom! Summons Fengqi, Prince, and Christine to hold a meeting at the main temple of Emilia! Tell Meiyi, that bastard boy, give me peace of mind to stay in True Spirit City first! ”
