"Dangdang Dang ......!" a low bell sounded in the Cathedral of the Ancestral Temple of the King Capital of the Kadesh Kingdom, and hundreds of people in the prayer hall of the cathedral dressed in various black clothes looked solemn, and cries rang out from time to time, and a lot of people gathered outside the church.

"Thank you to the ancestors for giving him life, thank the ancestors for letting him grow up, thank the ancestors for sending down the honor to let him be known to the world and leave his name in history, now he has ended his journey in the world and is about to return to the arms of the ancestors, please forgive the ancestors for the sins he once committed and enter heaven to accompany you, eh, no way. ”

"Oh no. ”×N。

The priest finished praying to the patriarchs, and the children in the choir sang a requiem for this world in their young voices.

Today is the day of the funeral for Duke Simon, because the way of death is too unpleasant, so it is claimed that it is a sudden death from a heart attack, and in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked, all the insiders have been quietly silenced.

The entire nobles in the royal capital and near the royal capital came, and thousands of people came together to send Duke Simon the last ride, one of Duke Simon's wives, seven side rooms, two sons and three daughters were receiving condolences from various nobles next to his coffin, the female family members were all wiping their tears, and Duke Simon's two sons also had a sad expression, but if you look closely, there are different meanings in the eyes of these two people.

Although the eldest son Anders has a sad face but his eyes are full of smiles, because from now on he will inherit everything from his father, and the second son André is disappointed and depressed in his eyes, according to the rules of the mainland, he has no right to inherit, and will live under his brother's snort in the future, Duke Simon's two brothers have made a fuss for the inheritance to the point that either you die or I die, and now Duke Simon dies suddenly, the eldest son Anders will inherit everything, if he is lucky, Anders will give him a manor to die in it, if he is unlucky, he will be in danger of death at any time。

Ouyang Yu also attended the funeral in a black dress as a representative of the queen, but the priests, priests, priests and priests of the Temple of the Ancestors actually turned a blind eye to her, and let her enter the church with a very strange attitude.

Ouyang Yu didn't have anything to worry about a dead person, so he asked Duke Simon's family to hold a funeral with the rank of a grand duke.

After the requiem was sung, Ouyang Yu came to the bulletin platform and politely asked the priest to go down, because she had something to say, and the priest who presided over the funeral smiled at her and bowed very obediently.

"Everyone!" Ouyang Yu's voice reached everyone's ears with the blessing of magic power, or the nobles who were talking to each other or consoling Duke Simon's family, as well as Duke Simon's widow and others, all looked at her.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the sudden death of Duke Simon has made the Queen and I feel very heartbroken, Her Majesty has lost a warrior who rose up for justice, his wife has lost her beloved husband, my children have lost their dignified father, and I have lost the light that can show me the way forward. ”

Everyone stood upright and looked at Ouyang Yu, waiting for her to read out the new decree.

Ouyang Yu took out a piece of parchment and read: "Anders and Andre were both born to the same father, brothers love each other, the elder brother is modest and the younger brother is respectful, but the younger brother is also the flesh and blood of the Duke of Simon but does not have an inch of land inheritance, which is really unfair, and it is an insult to the benevolence and righteousness of the nobles.

The successor to the title is the most noble, must be the most, and the rest of the children divide the remaining land equally, but the title should be lowered by one level, for example: after the death of a certain marquis, the remaining direct and collateral children are seven, and the fief is ten, the eldest son inherits the title of marquis, the land inherits two, and the remaining seven sons are earls, and the land inheritance is one, and the land inherited by them after their death is divided among their respective children and grandchildren, and so on.

The fief of Duke Simon is in accordance with the decree of the elder brother Duke Anders, inheriting about six layers of land north of the Somme River in Kazan County, and the younger brother Marquis Andrei, inheriting about forty percent of the land south of the Somme, if there is any disagreement between the brothers, they can settle it themselves, and all the nobles in the future will be subject to this, but the royal family is not among them, and this decree will take effect from now on. ”

"Whoa......!" As soon as Ouyang Yu's words fell, the nobles immediately stirred up an uproar, if they were to do it according to the decree, no matter how huge the aristocratic family was, it would be broken down into small groups, the heads of the family and the heirs who had determined the inheritance wanted to oppose it immediately, but they all felt the cold gaze of the direct brothers who were side and without inheritance behind them, this otherworldly version of the Tui En Order can be said to have pierced the hearts of these people, and also made all the people without inheritance all stand on Ouyang Yu's side, if the head of the family and the heirs dare to object, the direct descendants of the side and no inheritance will definitely fall out with themThe head of the family and the heir have limited energy, and it is impossible to catch all the family affairs, and those direct descendants who have no inheritance rights share a considerable part of the affairs, and once they fall out, many things in the family will no longer be controlled, and the position of the head of the family or the heir may be overthrown.

Ouyang Yu's strategy has been prepared for a long time, but she can't find a good opportunity, and now that Duke Simon's death is just promulgated, she believes that this kind of upright plan will definitely be implemented smoothly, and those children who have no inheritance rights are her best helpers.

After the decree was issued, the expressions of everyone below were seen by Ouyang Yu, worried, angry, surprised, greedy, everything, the most obvious of which was Andre.

Don't look at the fief of his brother Anders, who is bigger than him, but the most elite places in Duke Simon's fief have been distributed to him, and the seven layers of population and wealth have fallen into his pocket, on the contrary, Anders has a large territory but asks for money, no money, no people, and his strength is much worse than that of his younger brother Andre, Ouyang Yu let their brothers have opinions to solve it on their own means to encourage them to start a war with each other.

As time passed, the fluctuations stirred up by the Tui En Order became bigger and bigger, except for a small number of nobles who had taken refuge in Ouyang Yu in advance, the heads and heirs of the other nobles tried their best to speak or persuade, or threatened, hoping that the members of the family would support them against the Tui En Order, but people are selfish, and the side and direct descendants who originally had no inheritance rights have been relying on their snort to live, and now they have been given the opportunity to turn over and be the masters, where are they willing to let go, they made a lot of noise at the family meeting, and they have expressed their support for this decree issued by Her Majesty the Queen, and only a few members of the noble family agreed to the request of the head of the family and the heir.

But the opposition of this very small number of aristocratic families was drowned in a round of applause, and it sank into the sea without any waves, and Ouyang Yu's edict was completely implemented.
