Hail the King

Although he already had some initial thoughts in his mind, Fei didn't start immediately to make drastic changes to the current power structure and military system of Xiangbo City. He has only been in this world for three days, and there are too many things that he doesn't understand. , if you blindly seek quickness, if you want to, you will not achieve it.

Fei is going to take a good look at the current situation of the kingdom in the next few days.

The meeting continues.

This scene is not like the majestic and dreary scene of the emperor going to court as in many ancient dynasty TV dramas in the previous life. On the contrary, the atmosphere in the meeting hall is very active. In the narrow small stone ditch of Qingshui, there are even beautiful fish swimming back and forth in the stone ditch. On both sides are neat stone chairs covered with soft animal skins. The people attending the meeting sit comfortably on the stone. Speak freely on the chair, everyone has the opportunity and right to express their views, they can directly stand up and express their views without the consent of the kingdom, and even quarrels may arise at any time because of the opposite views.

A very subtle atmosphere of democracy or freedom in the budding state spread silently throughout the hall.

Since today is the first time that Alexander formally convened a post-war meeting as a king after he regained his normal intelligence, many people with a slight status in Xiangbo City got the opportunity to attend the meeting. Except for Brook, Pierce , Drogba, Ballack and other twenty-two warriors also got official seats. The big and small leaders of Xiangbo City spoke freely, but they really put forward a lot of very pertinent suggestions. Some guys who had been prepared for a long time even made paper-like beasts out of white silk cloth and nitrate. A large piece of text was written on the leather and presented, especially the five or six old white-bearded grandfathers who were recognized as highly respected in Xiangbo City, who took out a large pile of silk cloth full of words from his body like a magic trick. They were all suggestions for Fei, which made Fei feel dizzy.

A lot of suggestions, coupled with the previous herald Bazel Luanzheng and Alexander's mental retardation, Xiangbo City has accumulated countless cumbersome affairs that need to be dealt with by the king. The matters to be dealt with were buried, looking at the small mountain of documents in front of him and the large proposals recorded by the clerk beside him, Fei felt that his head was starting to hurt, he rubbed his temples, and shook his head painfully.

Seeing Fei like this, Pierce, the white hunk, and a few savages immediately grinned gloatingly.

The old handsome Best also showed a meaningful smile on his face.

Fei was annoyed, but suddenly his heart moved, he made up his mind, and said to his future father-in-law confidently: Uncle Best, I am not yet an adult, and I have no experience at all. As an elder, you have to help me! , Hey, how about this, you first help me sort out all these manuscripts and files, and then put forward your opinions on how to deal with them, and I will make a decision later.

Do you like it?

Hearing Fei's words, Best was stunned.

Maybe Fei himself didn't realize that the work he just mentioned was actually handled by the careerist herald Bazel before. This order is tantamount to completely entrusting the administrative power of the kingdom to Bess Special... In other words, from today onwards, Best has become the new herald of Xiangbo City. Such a sudden and important appointment made the old fox Best a little at a loss.

Best didn't react, and neither did the others in the hall.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire conference hall became a little weird.

After three or four seconds of silence—

Your Majesty, I object! Someone finally stood up.

Your Majesty Alexander, I also object... Someone immediately echoed.

That's right... Your Majesty Alexander, Best is a despicable and shameless traitor and villain. Half a month ago, he had a bad record of taking away the royal family's property. Even if it was because of Angela, we will not pursue his punishment this time. It is already a great forgiveness, how can such an evil person with no morals and no honor take up such an important position as the herald of the kingdom?

That's right, young His Majesty Alexander, you can't be crony!

Against, against, against...

All of a sudden there were voices of opposition one after another, and the entire conference hall became messy. Fei did not expect such a situation to happen. He glanced around calmly, and was surprised to see the person sitting on the stone chair at the west side of the hall. Brooke, Pierce and the others didn't say anything when they arrived. Instead, the most violent ones were the dozen or so strange faces sitting in the east of the conference hall. These dozen or so people appeared in front of Fei for the first time. Most of them They are all dressed gorgeously, wearing silver crowns inlaid with gemstones on their heads, full of energy, shiny faces, impassioned when speaking, patting their breasts, and seeming to think they are noble and righteous.

Who are they? Fei turned his head and asked in a low voice the guard standing behind him was Torres.

Hearing this, the young man in Jin quickly poked his head over and replied in a low voice: My lord, the six people wearing silver crowns standing at the front are all nobles with status in the city, while the five gorgeously dressed people behind them are all nobles. He is the richest businessman in the kingdom. Prior to this, according to the tradition of the kingdom, these people have always played a very important role in the king's meeting, and can even influence the king's decision.

I see.

Fei nodded, somewhat understanding.

No matter in the previous life or in another world, no country and every place will have such high-spirited politicians. They occupy a large amount of social wealth, enjoy privileges far higher than ordinary people, and take the credit and glory of the army without shame. Playing with power, playing with conspiracy, castrating public opinion, and advocating justice and glory are actually all for the pursuit of one's own desires.

But at this moment, the faces of these so-called nobles and big businessmen in the meeting hall are nothing more than this.

Such a discovery made Fei feel compelled to sigh once again. It turned out that what he, the king, had done in the past was really aggrieved. Even these fat-headed, stupid profit-seeking businessmen could appear in the king's meeting hall. It's as noisy as a vegetable market... It seems that the so-called kings and kingdoms in Xiangbo City are essentially no different from the King of the Mountain. They are the same as I guessed before, and they are not even as good as the ones in the remote mountain village in the northwest of my previous life. A village chief... Fei found out that there is a long way to go to build the ideal country in his mind.

Quiet, stop arguing, you, report your name first, Mr. Noble. Fei waved his hand, loudly interrupted such a swarm of quarrels like bees and flies, and pointed at the person standing at the front who was arguing the most. asked the silver-crowned middle-aged man.

Louis, Your Majesty, I am Viscount Louis. The silver-crowned middle-aged man took a step forward, bowed lightly, performed a standard aristocratic salute, and then replied proudly.

Oh, Louis... Viscount?

Fei felt a little convoluted. To be honest, he was completely confused about the Western-style division of titles, but this did not prevent him from asking: Mr. Viscount, if Uncle Best is not suitable, what do you think? Who do you think would be better suited for the job?

Your Majesty Alexander, let me explain first that it's not that I don't know how to be humble, but I firmly believe that I am the most suitable candidate... Viscount Louis patted his chest and said proudly: I am the purest bloodline in Chambo City. My father was even summoned by the emperor of the Zenit Empire. My family has a glorious history and glorious glory here. My...so, I will be the new herald, absolutely is the most suitable candidate.

Before he finished speaking, several nobles and big businessmen behind him stood up one after another, echoing loudly, expressing their approval.

On the contrary, Brooke, Pierce and the others had expressions of disdain on their faces.

Fei couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't understand that this was actually a court struggle for power and profit, but because the few unqualified politicians in front of him were too stupid, that's why this ridiculous scene appeared, and he watched in disgust Viscount Louis, who was proudly talking about his noble glory, Fei suddenly said: Okay, son Louis... uh, Your Excellency Viscount, I only ask one question, if your answer satisfies me, then I will do it for you. The Kingdom's new herald!

Louis was overjoyed, and he replied confidently: Your Majesty, please feel free to ask. I bet that no one is more suitable than me in handling political affairs.

Well, let me ask you, when all the soldiers and civilians are bleeding and fighting to defend Xiangbo City, where are you? Concealing his sarcasm, he asked word by word.

I... Viscount Louis was stunned.

Hahaha... When we fought bloody battles with His Majesty Alexander, the viscount must have been trembling and crying in the woman's crotch, haha... Drogba, a black and strong man with a straightforward personality, finally couldn't help standing up, Sarcastically speaking, Brooke and the Hercules who were sitting on the west side of the hall burst into laughter.

You...you dirty soldiers...what qualifications do you have to appear in the king's hall? Viscount Louis blushed suddenly, and argued with a rough and angry voice, Nobles enjoy immunity from combat conscripts. Right... As the purest nobleman in Xiangbo City, I certainly can't do those frivolous things of fighting and killing like you lowly farmers.

Frivolous things like fighting and killing? Fei Fei's face turned cold when he heard that, and he said angrily, Okay, this matter is over, Viscount Louis, I am very, very dissatisfied with your answer, so I'm sorry, You can't get the position of herald... Also, Your Excellency the Viscount, be careful who you humiliate. The soldier you speak of is the hero who defended the entire king. If I hear you insulting Xiangbo City like this next time Heroes, you will be honored to be the first unlucky person to be deprived of the title of nobility by me.

Speaking of this, Fei's eyes were already full of murderous intent that couldn't be concealed.

Louis froze for a moment, and finally dared not say anything more.

Only then did Fei turn to his father-in-law and continued: Uncle Best, I'll trouble you to sort out these documents, hehe, Viscount Louis reminded me just now, I now officially announce that starting today, You are the new herald of the Kingdom of Xiangbo City.

At this time, Best had completely calmed down from the initial shock. Hearing such a formal appointment, the old handsome guy did not refuse at all, and bowed gracefully to express his acceptance.

Hmph, Your Majesty, I object. You can't do this. This is nepotism... Appoint a small man as a herald. If you do this, you will destroy Xiangbo City. Among the few fat-headed businessmen in the east, there was a Seeing Viscount Louis' wink, the guy with long beards and long beards who looked like a pig stood up courageously and retorted loudly with an expression of disbelief.

Fei suddenly became angry.

During the bloody battle, one by one shrank their heads into their crotches, but when they celebrated after the battle, they all couldn't wait to stand up and want to grab the cake. You are a coward, so you just hide your balls and pretend to be dead, but you don't know Life and death, all of them seem plausible. What Fei hates the most is this kind of politician who pretends to be a saint. Some bad memories of his previous life instantly flooded his heart, and his violent temper came up. I couldn't help it ,'Ceng' stood up from the throne all of a sudden, pointed at the nose of 'féi pig' and scolded without a king's demeanor: Fuck you. Damn, I am nepotism. What are you? Can you control it? In the future, I will In the palace, such unsightly and stupid things are not allowed... Where are the guards? Throw out these stupid pigs who are not qualified to stand here!

As soon as Sun Fei finished speaking, more than a dozen soldiers in leather armor rushed in and threw these potbellied businessmen out like wolves. Amidst the gasping and unbelievable gazes, the remaining six nobles looked at each other pale, stood there with embarrassment, and finally returned to their stone chairs quietly and sat down quietly.

Fei Fei sat high on the throne.

His gaze swept across, and no nobleman dared to meet his gaze.

Feeling the fall of royal power and the messy status of the entire kingdom's power system, Fei once again strengthened his determination to rectify the kingdom's administrative system and military system. Now that these people are connected together, Fei will have to work hard to change the status quo and defend and protect everything he cherishes.

Thinking of this, Fei knew that a serious illness still needed serious medicine, and it seemed that he had to take serious medicine as soon as possible.

With a thought, he switched to the [Paladin Mode], and an upright, noble and righteous aura emanated from him. Standing in front of the high throne with a firm expression, he said unquestionably: The King of Xiangbo City In the name of my name, I declare that ten days later, I will carry out a complete change in the rights of the royal family, the administrative system of Xiangbo City, and the establishment of the army. Starting today, all the administrative and military orders and etiquette in the previous kingdom will be abolished. The whole city has entered a ten-day post-war adjustment period. During this period, the new herald Uncle Best is in charge of domestic administrative affairs, and Gordon Brook is in charge of military affairs. If anyone among you has any ideas about change If you have good suggestions or ideas, you can report them to Best and Brook, and they will pass them on to me.

The awe-inspiring majesty of the king and the noble demeanor of the paladin, the two high-ranking temperaments merged into one at this moment, Fei's voice echoed throughout the hall, no one dared to refute, everyone bowed down, the unwilling nobleman They were drenched in cold sweat and did not dare to make a sound. In such an atmosphere, they even had an illusion—a vague feeling that everything was as it should be.

This is the benefit of [Paladin Mode], it can unknowingly enhance your persuasiveness, appeal and majesty, and make your opponent surrender to you unknowingly—this is also the new cheating method that Fei recently figured out .

After passing this resolution, the rest of the meeting went smoothly.

At the end of the day, Brooke, who had been promoted to one of the 'two giants' in the military and political affairs, suddenly stood up and mentioned another matter: My king, there is one very important thing that I must remind you. There is still half a year left. The three-yearly martial arts battle between the various vassal states under the Zenit Empire is about to begin, and if we want to achieve good results in the competition, we must start preparing now.

As soon as Brook said this, everyone in the hall claimed yes one by one, and the atmosphere became heated again. Drogba stood up and beat his chest and shouted loudly: This time, we must challenge our old opponent Black Rock City and advance to the next stage. Fifth-class dependent country.

Fei was amazed, and asked: The subordinate country performs martial arts? Uh, what is that for?

Everyone is no longer surprised by the fact that His Majesty Alexander always forgets a lot of common sense things in the past after he returned to normal. Brooke patiently explained: Your Majesty, the martial arts battle is a national power measurement competition held by the Zenit Empire of the Monarchy. All vassal states under the Zenit Empire must participate, and if they perform well in combat, they will have the opportunity to improve the status of Xiangbo City and advance to the fifth-class vassal state, which is a very good opportunity for us.

Promoting to the fifth-class dependent country? Is there any benefit?

Of course, Your Majesty, Xiangbo City is now a sixth-class vassal state of the Zenit Empire. It ranks at the bottom of all vassal states in strength, and the support from the Zenit Empire is very limited. If we seize this opportunity to advance to the fifth-class The vassal state can not only get material and financial support from the empire with better conditions, but also be allowed to expand the number of residents and troops in the city, get more land, and even get rewards from the cheats of star battle qi. With these, Xiang The strength of Bo City can be greatly enhanced!

It was the first time Fei heard about such a thing, and he couldn't help asking: Is there a limit to Xiangbo Chen's population and the number of troops? Also, you just mentioned land and battle qi cheats, what's going on? .”

Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Zenit Empire, a sixth-class dependent country can only have a maximum of 1000 residents, the number of troops cannot exceed 500, the king cannot own a castle, and the land cannot exceed 500 hectares. Forcibly deprived by the empire, it will violate the laws of the empire and be severely sanctioned by the monarchy. Moreover, the sixth-class dependent countries can only have two-star fighting qi cheats and fighting qi skills cheats, and the circulation of cheats above two stars is strictly prohibited. The consequences of violating this article will be severe. It's even more serious. Brooke patiently explained: Once you are promoted to the fifth-class dependent country, the conditions will be doubled, and the strength of Xiangbo City will increase by leaps and bounds... Correspondingly, if you can advance to the fourth-class and third-class countries in the future , second-class and first-class dependent countries, the conditions will be further relaxed.”

What kind of bullshit rule is this? Doesn't the Zenit Empire want its vassal state to be strong? Fei couldn't understand for a while.

There is an old proverb circulating in the continent of Azeroth - a hound that is too vicious may bite off the owner's throat. For monarchies, they must ensure that their dominance will not be threatened by their own people, so On the basis of not weakening the overall strength, the strength of each dependent country must be strictly limited.
