Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Majesty of the Demon King
The political system of the Dark Devil Kingdom is very simple, the lords of the feudal regions have the autonomy of the territory, and as the black blood city of the central government, they will not interfere with it under normal circumstances.
As long as the taxes are paid on time, there are no riots/riots in the territory, there is no rebellion against the country, and support the country when it is needed, then the lord can sit for a long time with peace of mind.
Therefore, under the Demon King, the most powerful are the major lords who own fiefdoms, and the best of these lords are undoubtedly the twelve nobles.
As for these nobles and ministers in front of Li Yu, to be honest, they are basically not much different from decorations, the internal affairs of Black Blood City are basically handled by Nasha, what else can they do except act as heralds and executors?
The main reason why they dare to question it now is that in the Black Blood City without a demon king, the power is being eroded little by little.
Although Nasha is acting as an internal minister, her authority is not high enough, and her orders can be completely disobeyed, which gives some careerists an opportunity.
For example, the guy who is questioning Li Yu at the moment, he is the kind of typical person who doesn't know the height of the sky when he is a little powerful.
"There are suddenly so many more soldiers in the Black Blood City, what should I do with the military salary? Where did the cost of those military uniforms and weapons come from? We have the right to know the truth! Also, was this force really created to protect the Black Blood City? ”
This is a middle-aged uncle who is about forty years old, wearing a gorgeous coat, and his appearance is very ordinary, belonging to the kind of public face that is a little fat, and he is also a little bald.
I don't know if this guy is wearing a coat full of feathers because he has no hair on his head, all in all, this guy is like a color-feathered bald chicken in Li Yu's opinion, which makes people feel full of joy.
"Who are you? What right do you have to challenge my decision? ”
In the face of this color-haired bald chicken, Li Yu didn't give him face at all, anyway, the other side didn't ask angrily, so why should he have so many scruples?
"I ......"
Facing Li Yu's counter-questioning, the color-haired bald chicken was stunned for a moment, his power was ...... He really didn't have the right to question His Majesty the Demon King who was about to be crowned.
"Earl Wells, the Chancellor of Finance of the Black Blood City, is in charge of the finances of the Black Blood City."
Just when the color-haired bald chicken was stunned, Nasha on the side opened his mouth to reveal his identity, I really didn't expect that such a color-haired bald chicken could become the post of finance minister.
"You're Chancellor of the Exchequer?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows, and looked at the other party with a hint of doubt.
"That's right! I'm the Chancellor of the Exchequer! I'm responsible for all the financial problems of Black Blood City! "Maybe it's this identity that gives the color-haired bald chicken...... Oh no, it made the Earl of Wells more emboldened, and this thing became arrogant for a while.
"As the Minister of Finance, you are still wearing such a showy dress, this is not clear to tell me that you are corrupting, it seems that I am going to let the Demon King's personal guards go to your house to search and see, the treasury has been in deficit recently, and I don't know how much you have embezzled."
"What?"
Just when the Earl of Wales was proud, Li Yu's words made him stupid in an instant.
Embezzlement? And to search my home?
"Menier! Immediately send an army to his house, like this is rare in the Black Blood City.
After all, as aristocrats, they have different privileges than commoners, and it is very common for them to question policies like this.
Especially during Nasha's reign, once her policy was not approved, she would be forced to revoke it under pressure, but who would have thought that His Majesty, the demon king who was about to succeed to the throne, would act so decisively and impulsively.
Doesn't he know that the nobles in the Black Blood City are more or less related, and if the Earl of Wells is moved alone, it will simply affect the whole body.
Without the support of the nobles in the city, would he still want to be this demon king?
"I really don't know, when will the Demon King's finances be handed over to someone else? Since I'm about to be crowned, then the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer won't be used, just revoke it! ”
Just when everyone was talking, Li Yu once again said amazingly, and he directly revoked the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was directly pushing the Earl of Wales to the end, making him fall directly from the top to the clouds.
But I have to say that Li Yu's resolute behavior really shocked a group of noble ministers, and for a while, no one even dared to come forward to talk to Li Yu.
There's no way, who knows if he collided with His Majesty the Demon King, he would also be removed from his official position like the Earl of Wells, if that was the case, it would be too miserable.
In the Dark Magic Kingdom, the power of the Demon King is very large, except for the lord, the Demon King has the right to remove the title and official position of any nobleman, even if it is a lord, if there is a good reason, the Demon King can also remove him.
This is the kingship, the kingship that no one can touch and resist!
After the previous demon king was sealed, the Dark Devil Kingdom has been in a state of no royal power, and these noble ministers have gradually forgotten the majesty of the demon king.
But this time, Li Yu completely sounded the alarm for them.
"Nope! You don't have that power! You can't revoke my official position! I'm the Count of the Dark Devils! I'm Chancellor of the Exchequer! I'm ......."
"Someone! Pull the Earl of Wales down! He's sick and it's time to go home and rest! ”
This time, Li Yu was playing a game of knocking on the mountain and killing the tiger to make an example of the monkey, and the Earl of Wales was also unlucky enough to hit his gun, after all, the gun hit the first bird.
However, after recovering from the shock, the Earl of Wales shouted loudly, and almost jumped up and down to express his dissatisfaction.
It's just that Li Yu didn't want to pay attention to this kind of jumping clown, so he directly called the guards and dragged this color-haired bald chicken down.
"So what questions do you have next? If you have any questions, you can ask them together now, and I will answer them for you. ”
After the Earl of Wales was dragged down, Li Yu turned his head to the noble ministers with a smile, although his face was smiling, but it made everyone shudder.
With this demon king, I'm afraid the future will be difficult!
In this case, who dared to question Li Yu, he shook his head like a rattle again and again, and soon someone took the lead in retiring on the grounds that there was something at home.
With the first one to run, there was naturally a second and third, and even a few minutes later, there were only two people left in the whole room, Li Yu and Nasha.
"You're too impulsive."
It wasn't until everyone left in a hurry that Nasha finally spoke, but her words didn't seem like she was blaming Li Yu, she was just simply stating the facts.
"I know, but I can't help it, I can only do this against those guys."
Li Yu shrugged his shoulders, he naturally knew that he was doing it impulsively, but he had to send it when the arrow was ready.
On the way here, Li Yu had already learned about the situation from Mei Nier's mouth, and he was completely aware of the current situation of the noble ministers in the Black Blood City at this stage.
To put it bluntly, these guys are just a bunch of useless moths, except for some who are really capable, and the vast majority of the rest are just relying on an ancestral noble title.
If they really had the ability, they would have become lords who could rule their fiefdoms, and they would still need to live here?
It is precisely because of this that Li Yu finally made up his mind to ruthlessly rectify the tumor in the Black Blood City, although it may not be cured, but at least the carrion on the surface must be cleaned up!
