After the silent compromise of several great nobles in the country, Constantine immediately issued an edict, and the content of the edict was also announced in public at the imperial council.

"In order to rebuild the civil service of the empire, we must act, and the turmoil of the past proves the necessity of a strong central government, whether citizens, nobles, clergy, senators, merchants, artisans, peasants and even slaves, they are dissatisfied and angry at the state of affairs of the past, where merchants have been looted, peasants have been forcibly requisitioned, monasteries have been destroyed, and nobles have been ruined."

In Augustus' Square in Constantinople, Constantine XI was giving a speech,

"The long upheavals have amply proved the importance of the power of a national government, that a good government should mobilize all its forces to shelter his subjects, so that his subjects may enjoy not only at home, but also abroad, with our countrymen and pagans, the treatment that a citizen of the Roman Empire should enjoy, and this is what I, Constantine XI and my cabinet of government, strive for, and here I make a promise to the Senate and to the people of Rome, My cabinet government will allow anyone who is talented and willing to fight for the Roman Empire to join,

At the same time, I ask all Roman citizens to participate in the construction of the Roman Empire, especially the aristocracy as an effective force in the region, hereby I declare that the nobles above the marquis can choose to come to Constantinople or move to Anatolia, and the marquis below will come to Constantinople to report on their work, and the empire will arrange positions according to the actual situation, and we will restore the organizational strength of the empire as soon as possible, the peasant must take care of his crops with all his might, and the craftsmen should treat his works as if they were relatives, Merchants have to work hard to transport the output of the first two, and if anyone or anything prevents us from becoming rich and prosperous, we will completely destroy it.

I call on you, citizens of the Roman Empire, to fight for yourselves! The fruits of your struggle will not be swallowed up by others, and what you produce will belong to the country, to God, and the rest will be your own. ”

After a long speech, Constantine paused, and then said,

"All the nobles who come to Constantinople will be properly arranged, all those who work hard will be rewarded, all slaves who have distinguished themselves will be freed, the Senate, as the symbol of the Roman Empire, will no longer be neglected, a part of the unqualified senators will be eliminated, but more excellent people will join us, now, let us put into production!"

After saying that, Constantine took a few steps forward and put his hands on his chest,

"What we say today will soon be forgotten, but what we do will always be remembered! Long live the free senate and the people of Rome!! ”

To tell the truth, Constantine's operation is actually because there is no way, there are tens of thousands of nobles in the entire empire, such a large number, you really can't find a place to go, you have to deprive people of their fiefdoms, you have to find someone to live, at least it is reasonable.

In the enthusiastic cheers, Constantine slowly left the public's sight, and Cito also came to Constantine in front of him in time,

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness John IV, the Absolutist Monarch of Trebizond, wishes to be received by you."

"Hmm... Where is he? ”

Constantine smoothed his cuffs and neckline, and slowly tidied up his appearance.

"If Your Majesty wants to see him, I'll let him in."

Cito responded respectfully, and Constantine only waved his hand,

"No need, after all, they are still the monarchs of a country, and we are all descendants of the Romans, and we have come to Constantinople from all over the world, and I should go to meet them."

Striding outside, John IV had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Sito standing respectfully behind a person, he quickly reacted and quickly stood up,

"Your humble subject, John of Trebizond, has seen the great Roman Emperors, Augustus, Basilius, triumphant generals, first citizens..."

After a lengthy period of singing, John paused to wait for Constantine to speak, and most of the titles of European monarchs were like this, just as the Emperor of the HRE was also the king of Germany, and there was often more than one title for a high nobleman.

"John, would you like to relocate to Constantinople? Or do you want to stay in Trabzon? ”

Constantine simply exchanged a few pleasantries, and then directly raised the question of John's survival.

"I am willing to obey all the commands of His Majesty, and the same is true in this matter."

John IV was very respectful, he had realized that it was impossible to confront Constantine in Anatolia, it was better to be honest, whatever Constantine said, he would do well, even if the degree of freedom was lower, so as to save his life.

"Well, then you can come to Constantinople! I have other arrangements in Trabzon, and it just so happens that Uzun Hassan and Katona have sent people to ask for the demarcation of the border between the three countries, and in addition, I also need someone to monitor the escaped Ottoman nobles and not let them stay on the border to make trouble. Are you interested in doing it? ”

"Follow your orders, Your Majesty."

John nodded repeatedly, it didn't matter to him anyway.

"Okay, that's all, if there's nothing else, that's it for today!"

Constantine stood up and wanted to end the topic, and John IV hurriedly followed suit,

"One more thing, Your Majesty, Anna's question..."

John held out a hand and stopped Constantine from leaving.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's time for you to have future generations, if you don't have a prince, in the future... What to do? ”

Sito, who had been silent, also persuaded them that there was nothing more worrying to them than this, especially when the empire was not easy to improve a little, and if the empire fell apart because of the heir problem, it would really make people angry to death.

"It's my own business, Sito, I'll arrange it myself."

Constantine instinctively wanted to avoid this question, not that he looked down on Anna, but it would make Constantine feel a little embarrassed to talk about it in front of his father.

"The emperor has nothing to do with himself, Your Majesty, your every move is related to the empire, not to mention, this is what your subjects want to see, even if you are the first citizen, you can't ignore the opinions of the people, this is what you often say."

Constantine couldn't cry or laugh, this Sito also used what he said to refute him, but Sito's words were actually not unreasonable, and he muttered for a while,

"That's... All right! It stands to reason that I would be frivolous to do so, but if it is the people's demand, I think I still need to do it, and you are right, Sito. ”

Constantine marrying Anna had several advantages, first, as Sito said, it was very important to have an heir as soon as possible, and second, the marriage with John IV could stabilize the situation in the country and ease the resistance of those displaced nobles, after all, who would not know what the meaning of the marriage between the emperor and the local nobles represented?

"Then ask the Ecumenical Patriarch to arrange an invitation to the whole Christian world, not only to marry but to herald the revival of a powerful nation, well! Good! Good! Just do it! ”

Cito said that he was still excited, and his right hand hammered his left hand, leaving Constantine with black lines.

Just when Constantinople was preparing for the wedding, a news came that directly alarmed the Eastern European world, the Hungarian regent, the white knight Janos Hunyadi, died on July 14, 1458, while patrolling the place, at the age of seventy-one, which can be said to be a long life in this era.

Historically, Janos died of plague in the battle with the Ottomans, and now the task of resisting the Ottomans was handed over to Constantine, and Janos also lived a few more years as he wished, but unfortunately, time finally took away this great figure in Hungarian history, leaving a regret in vain,

However, it is too late to pay attention to the death of Janos, because after the death of the regent, the Hungarian throne seems to have no suspense to welcome his king, Laszló V, His Royal Highness Caesar of the Roman Empire.

In the city of Pest, at an emergency meeting of the nobles, several groups of people quarreled,

"His Majesty László is the orthodox king of Hungary, and now he is in the position of Caesar of the Roman Empire, His Majesty Constantine everyone knows something, His Majesty Laszló has the favor of His Majesty Constantine, if we refuse His Majesty Laszlo to return to Pest City, His Majesty Constantine will not sit idly by."

This is what some nobles who agree with Laszlo's rule are speaking,

"Laszlo is favored by Constantine again, he is only from the Habsburgs, not from the Palaiologos, even if Constantine will help him, it is very limited, the Roman Empire has just wiped out the Turks, and wants to mobilize resources to attack us, I'm afraid he Constantine does not have this ability."

"Then you say, who do you think is the right king? Who is eligible to hold the St. Stephen's Crown? ”

Hearing the opposition rebuttal, these supporters of Laszlo were not convinced.

"The son of the White Knight, Margash, is also a great nobleman in the country, why can't we find one of our own people to be king, instead of letting foreigners control our people?"

In the hands of Janos, the Hunyadi family is already the most powerful family in Hungary, with 23,000 hectares of land, 28 castles, 57 towns and nearly a thousand villages, such a rich family, which is destined to Margas has a great advantage in nature, even if he is not very old, he is only fifteen years old, but for other nobles, young means easy to control, which is what they want to see.
