Proof of the Sun King
Chapter 294: , the big political tide
On February 11th, Hagen, the wife of Kasfann and Duke of Gisolayaux, took the lead in launching the impeachment proceedings against the king. Cha explained the failure.
Just as the electors of the empire had the power to impeach the emperor, so the dukes of Brittany had the power to impeach the king.
The Duchess and the Duke are "enemies", and when the Duke cannot exercise his own power, the Duchess can act on his behalf.
In the face of Mrs. Kasfann's question, Richard had to come out to fight, and the king replied very seriously.
"This is a war between Kasfann and Palaon and the Empire, not Britannia and the Empire. The royal court has never instructed Kasfann to start this war at any time, anywhere, and I also Never expressed support for Cass Vann on any occasion." Richard gave a very serious answer to the question.
However, Kathvann's wife was already prepared.
"His Majesty Denois-Jean-Richard-de-le-Angoulan, as King of Brittany, firstly did not object or exhort His Excellency Cassvin's military actions, and secondly, in the case of those who have waged war, Under the circumstances, the king, as the leader of the country, did not support and support the actions of Kasfann, and finally, in the case of Lord Kasfann's defeat and capture, the king did not carry out any attempt to rescue activities. , or a diplomatic attempt."
"Therefore, based on the above description, we believe that Richard, as the king, bears direct and indirect responsibilities in this war, and the kingdom's finances should negotiate with the empire through a formal diplomatic note to pay the ransom for Kath Vann, and at the same time to Expeditionary forces were not given sufficient resources to explain."
Clearly, the two sides have very different views on this matter.
Richard, as king, his view is that he did not instruct Kasfann to start this war, since Kasfann himself declared war on the Empire in the name of the Duchy of Palaeon and himself, then it was his own The war is not of the kingdom, and he himself must take full responsibility for it.
Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?
And Mrs. Kasfann's point of view is this, yes, this is a war between Kasfann and the Duchy and the Empire of Palaon, but Richard, as a king, has known about it from the beginning. King, as the leader of the kingdom, Richard should support this war and give enough resources and help from knights to give Kathvann a better chance of winning.
Or Richard can also oppose this war. As a king, he should understand the disadvantages of Cass Vann. If he came forward to stop and Cas Vann did not agree to start a war, then Cas Vann should be fully responsible. .
Richard, as king, neither approved nor opposed, neither chose to provide support for Kath Vann, nor did he negotiate the ransom with the Empire through diplomatic channels after Kath Vann was captured.
What kind of king is this?
This lady of Kasfann was of noble birth and was full of relatives among the great nobles of the kingdom, and the contents she put forward were also very reasonable. This was originally Richard's duty, and what was Richard doing? ?
"Quite Richard's way of doing things." Morgiana took Ryan's hand, and the two sat side by side on the chair.
Richard's way of doing things is just like that. In short, Richard didn't want the relationship between Britania and the Empire to break down, but he also didn't want to upset Cassvenne because of it.
So the king's way of dealing with things is that the two ends of snakes and mice, and the mud, explain to the empire that this is Kas Vann's own personal actions, and he has an ambiguous attitude towards Kas Vann, who does not clearly oppose it and tacitly approves. .
This is the way Richard has always acted, and no one wants to offend, so Emperor Karl Franz asserted that Richard would not help Kasfann.
Morgiana was very dissatisfied with this matter. If she were here, she would definitely stop Kath Vann's actions, and this human civil war would definitely not start.
Because of this, Kathvann's wife received an unexpectedly large amount of support from the upper echelons of the kingdom.
On February 13th, thirteen noble nobles including Earl Hendrick, Earl Allen, and Baron Carey voiced their support for Cass Vann's wife and questioned the king.
On February 14th, 31 noble nobles, including the Holy Grail Knight Chibuman, the Prophet of the Lake God, Corey, and the Baron Cornell, announced their support for the impeachment of the King by the Duchess of Palaon.
On February 17, Vercade, dukes of Montfort, and Theodoric, dukes of Beleon, announced their support for the impeachment of the king by the Duchess of Paraon through subpoenas.
Richard was suddenly in a turmoil. The support of so many nobles surprised the king, and he had to announce another court meeting to justify himself.
Otherwise, his throne will not be guaranteed.
A day's quarrel did not yield any results. Both sides had their own supporters. It was obviously impossible for the king to accept paying the ransom for Kasvann through the kingdom's finances, so the situation fell into a stalemate and quarrel.
Usually, at this time, the two sides disagree, and no one can convince the other. At this time, the king should find the witch of the lake **** and let her arbitrate the matter.
However, the problem is that Morgiana was seriously injured, no one of the great nobles of the kingdom knew where to find her, and a few people in the know, such as Francois, kept their mouths shut and said nothing on this matter.
Neither side could find Morgiana, and they tried to find Ryan, the god-chosen champion of the fairies in the lake.
Ryan also stayed behind closed doors, refusing to see guests.
The nobles had no way of knowing what the fairies in the lake had to say on this matter, and it was impossible for both parties to back down.
"I should come forward to arbitrate, Richard and Kath Vann will take responsibility for this matter!" Morgiana's beautiful face was filled with anger: "Who gave Kath Vann the courage to declare war on the Empire alone? But Richard, as a king, did not support it, did not stop it, and did not fulfill the responsibility of the king!"
"You can't go out. Vampires have never given up looking for you. I have eliminated several waves of vampire spies one after another." Ryan shook his head, and he grabbed Morgiana's little hand: "At least not until you recover. "
The expression on Morgiana's face was a little tangled. The answer was not unexpected to her. The Lake God Witch sighed softly: "Okay, just listen to you."
"Morgiana, if you come to arbitrate, how will you decide." Ryan then asked.
"Ten thousand." Morgiana thought for a while, and then said: "Richard found ten thousand, and the rest Kasfann will pay by himself. At the same time, he will send and negotiate with Karl Franz to find a way to further discuss about the ransom. The details... Kath Vann and the two thousand knights have been captured, and they can only find a way to reduce the ransom at the negotiating table."
"Well, that's the only way." Ryan knew that he was not suitable to come forward.
He is a vassal of the king, and there is a basic relationship between the monarch and the minister. Although the investigation has done him inauthentic in many things, for now, Ryan is still not suitable to come forward.
Then Morgiana was trapped in a state of serious injuries and could not come forward.
Where will this political tide go?
…………
On February 18th, the tide intensified in the kingdom's court. Three meetings were held in the court. Richard was neither a Holy Grail Knight, nor his prestige was relatively limited. Facing Madame Casven, who united the kingdom, The joint impeachment of hundreds of nobles and hundreds of knights was in a hurry. Even if the Duke of Leonasse and the Duke of Poldereau came forward to support him, the king was still at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.
On February 20th, the impeachment of Richard reached its peak. Hundreds of knights and the families of thousands of captured knights blocked the gate of Curona’s palace, demanding that the king be responsible for this matter. Many knights’ families brought their families with them. Mouth, women and children kept crying at the gate of the palace, slamming the door with their hands, asking the king to give a solution to the matter and redeem the captured knight.
In order to appease the nobles and the families of the captured knights, Richard had to order the dispatch of envoys to Brunswick, the capital of the empire, to negotiate with the emperor Karl Franz about the ransom. On the other hand, he sent the knights of the royal family. , first to appease the families of the captured knights who were blocked in front of the palace, and then to arrest some family members who took the lead in making trouble.
Richard thought his actions would quell the public anger, but Kasvann's wife ordered more family members of the captured knights to block the door. The Marquis Taubert, who was in charge of guarding the palace, wrote a letter of resignation to Richard and took the initiative. Request to resign from the post of chief guard of Curona Palace.
Richard refused, and he then turned to the head of the Kurona branch of the Holy Grail Knights, the Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules.
After receiving the news, Jules felt that the matter was very important. He led the five Holy Grail Knights to personally dispatch to persuade the families of the captured knights to calm down before coming to the Curona Palace. At the same time, he arrested a few who deliberately caused trouble.
The face of the Holy Grail Knight is obviously useful, and the family members dispersed under the persuasion of Jules, silting in various hotels and taverns in Curona, waiting for the king's explanation.
As a result, three days passed, and no news came out of Curona's palace.
Kasvann's wife and the great nobles were outraged, and they again launched impeachment proceedings against the king, demanding Richard's explanation of the matter.
The Holy Grail Knight Commander Jules was also angry, and he also wrote a letter of resignation, requesting to resign as the head of the Curona branch.
Richard hurriedly ordered to keep Eulers, and at the same time prepared to deal with the impeachment proceedings against the king again. Richard, who was overwhelmed by the enormous pressure, realized that this matter had changed.
Without Morgiana's arbitration, the King himself could not command the Knights of the Holy Grail, and Kasvann's wife had already pointed the finger at Richard herself.
If it goes on like this, the dukes may come to Curona's palace to hold the election meeting!
Richard is naturally not someone to be slaughtered by others. The king sent out in the subsequent meeting and said, since you are not satisfied with my handling, then I can convene a kingdom knights meeting. I will do as you say what is decided at the knights meeting. ,how?
This move is really powerful, Richard's high profile immediately attracted the sympathy of a large number of neutral nobles, because the king really did not have too obvious fault in this matter, at most he can only give "oversight" or "dereliction of duty" ” evaluation, that is still far from the serious consequences of being forced to abdicate. For this matter, Richard’s handling is quite satisfactory, not brilliant, and there are not too many mistakes.
Furthermore, even if Richard was to be forced to abdicate and the impeachment was established, who would pull the king down from the throne?
In the past, the current Lake God witch led the Holy Grail Knight to do this, but the key is that Morgiana was seriously injured and disappeared.
Richard's statement finally forced Lawn Leo Cornwall, Duke of Connecticut, to come forward. The Holy Grail Knight stood up and asked both sides to calm down and return to the negotiating table.
Kasvann's wife also realized that she would not have a good result if she continued to make trouble like this, and the two sides finally returned to the negotiating table in the palace.
Protracted negotiations remain inconclusive.
South of Brittany, the Duchy of Winford, the capital of Helenhilde.
François was sitting in his study, and the duke himself took the wine leisurely and said to the person sitting opposite him: "Percy, you have come over after all."
Sitting opposite François, the Duke of Bastogne took out a letter and handed it to François: "Richard is so overwhelmed with the present situation that he begs me to intercede to arbitrate this matter. thing."
Francois nodded silently.
The Duke also felt that things were getting out of control. Originally, when the two sides could not agree, the witch of the lake **** should come forward to arbitrate, and she would give a compromise solution. Because she symbolized the will of the fairies in the lake, the nobles There will be no more objections.
The core of the problem is precisely here. Morgiana is seriously injured and is now hiding in Ryan's territory to recuperate.
Morgiana couldn't come forward, so it was Ryan's turn. The witch of the lake **** once made it clear to the great nobles of the kingdom that Ryan would perform her duties when she was away.
However, Francois thought that Ryan should not show his face in this matter. The core is that, first of all, Ryan is a vassal of the king. If he is inclined to the king, he will be considered to be in collusion with the king~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If so Ryan leaning towards Madame Casven's faction would be considered to have failed to fulfill his obligations as a vassal.
Secondly, although Ryan is in the limelight in the kingdom, he is still inferior to the lofty prestige possessed by the witch of the lake god. The solution he gave is bound to not satisfy everyone, and he cannot use prestige to shut everyone up.
Therefore, it is best for Ryan to stay behind closed doors, refuse to see guests, and not intervene in this matter. The excuse he gave is also perfect, that is, Ryan has connections with many electors and nobles of the empire. Avoid suspicion in the matter.
Morgiana didn't appear, Ryan refused to express his opinion, and no one in the court could convince anyone, which caused things to get out of control completely.
Now, the only person who has the ability to arbitrate is the Grand Commander of the Holy Grail Knights, the legendary Green Knight, and the Red Dragon Duke Berhemond, who is a direct descendant of the first knight king Arthur. He is also a strong man in the sanctuary and enjoys a huge reputation in the kingdom. It is helpless for Richard to ask him to come forward to arbitrate.
However, Bethmonde was not very interested in internal affairs, so he came to ask Francois how to deal with it.
"You should probably ask Ryan for his opinion on this matter," Francois said in a low voice.
"Ryan? Didn't he refuse to see the guests? Richard sent several waves of envoys, but he didn't see anyone." Bethmond frowned: "I might not see him either."
"I'll ask Suria to accompany you." Francois whispered: "Suria is his fiancee, and he will definitely meet him. Trust me, Percy, Ryan will give you a satisfactory answer."
Bethmond breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's do it like this." I want to chat with more like-minded people about "", WeChat pays attention to "Youdu Literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
