Chapter 26: Why not

The former Wettin family, but the behemoth that can be as famous as the Figuerola family, the lord of the West, is listed among the twelve nobles of Lionheart Castle together with the Figuerola family.

It can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of power, but they are still not satisfied, and they want more, and they actually peek into the beast crown of the Vespaxian family.

The Wettin family spent a long time planning and preparation, secretly gathered a group of dead soldiers, and bribed the people around Edward II, wanting to launch a palace coup, thinking that it was foolproof, but they didn't expect the news to leak the day before the incident.

The people left in the royal capital by the family were wiped out by the Imperial Forest Army.

When the news reached Crab Legs, Hilda, the head of the Wettin family, hastily raised an army of 30,000 men in just ten days.

However, the composition of this army is very complicated, in addition to the Wettin family's own people, there are also some vassals who have been called, dozens of mercenary groups, slave armies, and even pirates to join it.

Even many of the vassals of the Wettin family were not optimistic about this chaotic army, and were unwilling to fight alongside those mercenary pirates.

As a last resort, Hilda had to divide her troops into two routes, handing over the vassals and the family's own troops to her eldest son to go on the road first, while she left behind to continue to rectify the rest.

As a result, Hilda's side has not yet put the team in order, and the news of the eldest son's defeat and capture has already come from the other side.

Only five days had passed, and Hilda knew that the general situation had turned, so she no longer made useless resistance, sent some money to dismiss the rest of the people, and took the initiative to open the city and surrender.

Counting the time Hilda spent pulling people around, this rebellion only lasted for a short fifteen days, which looked more like a farce, but the consequences were serious.

His Majesty the Emperor was furious, except for the women who had married into the royal family and other families, the members of the Wei Ting family were almost wiped out, and even some side branches were not spared.

However, after Edward II cut off the heads of Hilda and more than forty other people involved, his anger probably subsided a lot, and many people came to intercede during this period, and finally calmed down.

He didn't continue to kill, but he didn't say what the rest of the people were going to do, so he was thrown into the dungeon and locked up for five years.

It was only recently that the dungeons were not sufficient, and His Majesty the Emperor remembered these remnants of the Wertin family again, and ordered them to be stripped of all their noble titles and possessions, and exiled to the West to fend for themselves.

It is said that more than 1,000 members of the Wei Ting family were arrested in prison, and they had to be separated and detained, and not only the dungeons of the royal capital were filled, but even the newly captured prisoners in several nearby cities had no place to close, and even had to build new dungeons.

Of these, less than one hundred and twenty survived and made it to the West.

More than 100 people have also become a hot potato.

After all, the Wei Ting family was involved in a rebellion back then, and this kind of thing has always been the most feared by the royal family, even if the mastermind has been ambushed, it is impossible for the rest of the people to get away with it so easily.

Whoever keeps such a group of rebels on his own territory is sure that he will make His Majesty the Emperor unhappy. And the nobles of the Western Realm are not sure what to do with the remnants of the Wettin family.

After all, the other party was once the top wealthy family in the empire, and even now, many nobles, including the royal family, are still related to the Weiting family, which is why Edward II did not kill and cut the grass to the roots.

But if these guys are too good, who knows if the emperor will be unhappy again.

So how to settle these people has become a problem.

Yin Leiya also refused at first, but she couldn't stand the summer crops, and it was time to harvest.

Even if you don't forget it, the lizardmen have killed a lot of people and destroyed a lot of crops, so now there are enough people in the territory to harvest crops. But after a little more than a month, it will be time to start cultivating the winter fields.

If the empty land is not planted with wheat and rye in September, the yield will be reduced again in June, and this is all money.

Since getting the news of the homeless people, Miss Rabbit has been entangled for several days, and has also discussed with Fausto and others many times.

In the end, it was concluded that if we didn't want these people from the Wettin family, then if we wanted to recruit free people by normal means, the most optimistic estimate was that we would be able to recruit dozens of people at most by September, which was far from making up for the previous losses.

So the girl finally made a decision, "Yes, why not?" Since His Majesty the Emperor dares to send people here, what do we dare not accept. ”

"But what these people committed back then was the crime of rebellion, and if they do anything in the future...... "Some people are worried.

Yin Leia said, "We can't beat more than a thousand lizardmen, can't we beat more than a hundred nobles with fine skin and tender meat?!" If someone dares to make trouble, just arrest him. ”

"Speaking of nobility, I do think of another thing," said the new governor Vigo, "do these people of the Wettin family know how to farm?" ”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

But soon it was Miss Rabbit who spoke, and said viciously, "Learn, don't you know how to plant, don't you still learn, Shuangxiu teaches that group of lizardmen can't farm, Merlin specially invited a few old farmers to teach them, these people in the Weiting family can't plant, I can also find someone to teach them, and directly tell them that if you don't plant well, you will be hungry, I don't think anyone can plant well?" ”

When the people of the Arias family heard this, they looked at each other.

That's true, but I always feel unreal when I hear it.

The invincible Wettin family, known as one of the twelve nobles of the empire, has now been reduced to the point of begging for a living in the green fields and farming for the little-known Arias family.

If you don't grow well, you have to go hungry, this is really ...... Five years ago, no one would believe it when it was a joke.

"You're just thinking too much." Yin Leiya added, "As long as you go down to the ground and work for a while, you will be tired to death every day, so naturally you don't have time to think about any messy things."

"As for worrying that Your Majesty's side will have a bad impression of us because of this, it is even more unnecessary, Your Majesty has no impression of our Arias family at all, and if something really happens, Marquis Cullen will take it first."

The girl's last words touched everyone in the room.

Indeed, with the prestige of the Arias family in the empire, on the contrary, there is not much need to worry about political influence.

Why should you scruple about something that doesn't exist at all?

Everyone is thinking about living in Lvye with peace of mind, and they don't think about developing in the royal capital, why should they look ahead and take people over to farm.
