With the permission of His Majesty the King, Du Aikri took the lead, and the wind of the entire court began to change, and the shrewd Kyoto nobles did not know how the always arrogant Du Aikri family could target a small southern lord, and it was also the kind of Cheng Dù who wanted to put his death to death.

Now in this situation of the weakening of the royal family, he still wants to levy food from the foreign lords for free, unless, obviously, Duakri's trick of "throwing stones to ask for directions" is only the first step in a big plan, and everyone in King Guitar III, including the first supporting role, is curious

"Could it be that the private nobles have finally begun to reach out to the foreign lords?"

The upstarts of the court council smelled a trace of unusual revenge from it, and everyone secretly guessed in their hearts that the court hall that was still chaotic just now had a rare calm, like the dullness before the storm

Du Ikeri's Jian yì spoke to the hearts of the private nobles, although recently the private nobles had secretly contacted each other, preparing to use their power to force His Majesty the King to let go of the restrictions on the outside territories. But I didn't expect the Dueric family to put forward it so directly, it seems reasonable, but it is actually a sword that seals the throat without even room for relaxation

"If you don't have enough food to eat, you either agree to ask the outer lord for food, or everyone will finish it together!" This is like a one-hit punch to the soft underbelly of the royal family, although it hurts, I am embarrassed to attack

Forcibly mentioning yì to levy the grain of the outer feudal lord, this is obviously taking advantage of the noble reputation of the royal family to do something that violates the law, because this time the mention of yì was proposed by the Marquis of Duerric, and the inevitable love is spreading among the private army nobles, this is the first time that the private army nobles have stretched their hands out of the scope of the kingdom of Kyoto, and they cannot fail and are not allowed to fail, so once the once-in-a-century opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to make a move

All the nobles looked at the Marquis Duerik with envy, this was a big gamble with the fate of the family, whether they won or lost, the Duerik family was destined to prosper even more, and the crown of the leader of the private army was almost already on the head of the Duerik family

At this time, the new Undersecretary for Finance, Hail Taku, who was very close to the Marquis du Ikery, also stood up, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, he bowed respectfully and played his role according to the original plan

"Your Majesty, I heard that merchants from all over the country have rumored that the richest area now is the Samore region in the south, in the southern city of Zhivading, the transaction tax paid by merchants every day reaches tens of thousands of gold coins, and now the kingdom is short of financial resources, and the tax cards in various places have yet to be restored, we urgently need to develop new sources of wealth, it is better for His Majesty the King to directly take the city of Zhivading under the direct jurisdiction of the kingdom, I believe that this will greatly ease the finances of the kingdom, and I believe that the lords of the Samore region will also be honored for relieving the pressure on the kingdom!"

The words of the Under-Finance Minister, Hail Taku, caused a stir among the nobles, which was different from the construction of the grain that Duaikri had just requested, this was a bare land demand, and it was the most direct test of the bottom line of the royal family, which had crossed the bottom line that the king could not take back the lord's land.

But the conservative forces and the nouveau riche who participated in the court were silent about this, and everyone kept their heads down, avoiding the king's plea on the throne

The inflated military power and the collision of forces have made both forces not satisfied with the current situation, Kyoto is so big, the conservative nobles want more and larger spheres of influence, the private army upstarts are eager to get a hereditary territory, the Kugit army pressed the city in the past, and everyone can restrain it in order to protect themselves,

But now that most of the Kugit people have evacuated, especially the most ferocious and fierce Left Guard Wang Army, which was originally entrenched in the middle of the kingdom, has recently withdrawn from a large area, leaving behind a piece of ownerless land, and the nobles of Kyoto who watched it were itching.

"Now someone finally can't bear to take the lead" Everyone turned a blind eye to Duerric's defiant attitude of ignoring the royal family

"Anyway, in the end, it's not yourself who is unlucky to bear the black pot, you just need to keep silent to get benefits, why should you talk too much!"

"Well, these greedy moths! You can't do anything but lie on the royal family's body and suck blood! Now you're ready to seal the territory again."

Guitar III glared in disgust at the Undersecretary of Finance, Hail Taku, the new nobleman who was about to take over as Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was clearly a representative of the private army,

The seasoned Guitar III had already reacted that the last time the Chancellor of the Exchequer was broken in the ribs was not an accident, but the beginning of a deliberate plan, and mastering the finances was equivalent to mastering all the loopholes in the kingdom system, and it was not a matter of a few minutes to find an excuse for the soldiers

Now that this plan has finally reached the point of being exposed, King Guitar III looked at the indifferent ministers below and felt a sense of powerlessness,

"Damn privates, damn ministers!

Guitar III secretly scolded himself, once this huge conspiracy is started, it will be the time for a showdown, if he continues to suppress it like this, there must be endless troubles, rather than waiting for them to completely trample the dazzling halo of the royal family under their feet, and make the whole Kyoto into a miasma, and make a mutiny and other uncontrollable consequences,

It's better to let out all these scourges, let them fight to the death with the lord army outside, and fight with the Kujits, if they lose, it is one less scourge, and if they win, it is a big deal to throw the letter of the chief of the leader, if they can really put the rich and oily city of Zhivading City into the name of the royal family from the Samors, they will not suffer any loss

His Majesty's long silence made the entire court depressed terrible, the private army nobles clenched their fists nervously, sweat on the top of their heads, and the conservatives looked down one by one, as if at this moment the entire court was left with Guitar III alone to face the aggressive pressing of the private army nobles

"In that case, send someone to take back Zhivading City!"

After being silent for more than ten minutes, Guitar III finally spoke, since it can't be stopped, let these scourges exile themselves, at least they want to be clean,

In the end, this court discussion related to the entire kingdom pattern ended with the joint victory of the two forces in Kyoto, and the fat man who stayed in Samore to direct the grain harvest did not know that in Kyoto, which was not far away, the rich Samore had already become a big cake cut at will in the minds of the Kyoto nobles
