The Bone King of the Beginning of the Comprehensive Manga

Also because of her presence, Sophie and the others talked about unimportant information.

After three days like this, Sophie and the others didn't take the initiative to mention what happened that day for some reason, as if it didn't happen.

Valentina also stayed. In fact, Nangong Long did not restrict her freedom, and she could leave whenever she wanted.

It's just that she stayed to observe someone because she wanted to know more.

study

Nangong Long was reading the intelligence of various countries summarized by the Shadow Demon.

There was a quarrel in Meneji's country because Chihu was captured. Chihu's power is too great. There are many people who want him to die, especially those who have the right to succeed the next king.

But the opinions of these people were all suppressed by the king, that is, Chihu's elder brother must redeem Chihu, and the relationship between the two brothers is still good.

Sachstan was beaten up by Roland, and he has been a lot more honest recently, and he has not made any small moves so far.

Jistat didn't move much. With the character of the old king, it was impossible for him to make a move without really hurting his national interests.

The king of Yaswar originally planned to take advantage of the civil strife in Brunu and intervene in it, but because of his poor health, he could only take a wait-and-see attitude.

The princes are ready to move. Even if the old king does not die of illness, he will be killed by his own son. It is only a matter of time.

Chapter 71 Winner and Loser

Two days later, the group returned to Nice, the capital of the kingdom, and Prime Minister Bodwa was finally relieved.

In the past few days, the nobles from all over the country have come, and if Leiqi is not coming back, Bodwa is almost unable to hold on.

Leiqi met Meneji's envoy in the audience hall, and the attitude of the other party was very low, and the negotiation went smoothly.

After the other party handed over a thousand barrels of gold coins, Leiqi released Chihu as agreed, and Meneji's envoy had no intention of staying, and set foot on the return journey that day.

There is no farewell, who made Chihu the loser.

Nangong Long divided the [-] barrels of Jistad gold coins into quarters and distributed them to Ailian, Mira, and Lisa, and kept the remaining [-] barrels for himself.

The palace, Eileen's room

"Let's go." Ailian tilted her head and looked at Sophie and said.

"Wait a little longer, something big will definitely happen to Bruno these days"

"I think so too. Many nobles are concentrated in the capital," said Valentina who hadn't left yet.

"It's also my task to find out what Bruno will do next," Sophie said after thinking about it.

"Maybe he's going to die," Lisa muttered.

In the morning of the next day, Leiqi summoned all the high-ranking officials of the royal capital and the nobles who came from all over the place to the audience hall.

"Prime Minister, give the order." Reki, who was sitting on the throne, said in an emotionless tone.

"...The original aristocratic system will be abolished from now on..." Bodvar read the new policy with trepidation. A change in this policy will definitely shake the ground.

Once the new policy is implemented, the nobles only have the right to manage, but not the ownership of the land.

Nobles are not allowed to have private soldiers, and they also have no power to temporarily recruit soldiers.

All taxation powers are taken back to the state, and the nobles no longer have the power to formulate part of the taxes.

These are the main things, and the rest are more detailed terms.

In short, nobles only retain titles, and the rest of the treatment is similar to that of magistrates.

By the way, titles are no longer hereditary, so you can go down if you don't have the ability.

"How can it be like this? Change"

"This will never work"

"Brunu's hundreds of years of rules, how can you just change it?"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible."

"Your Majesty, Brunu has just restored peace, and I'm afraid there will be another war if you do this."

There were more than a hundred nobles, big and small, some talking privately, some vocally opposed, a very small number of silent, and some who thought they were stronger and threatened.

"Shut up for me"

Leiqi had expected this kind of situation, they would be obedient and there would be ghosts.

Hearing Leiqi's words, the nobles below stopped talking aloud. Although they said they were dissatisfied with the new king, they would not show it on the surface.

"This king is not asking for your opinions, your duty is to obey orders," Leiqi said coldly.

"If you do this, Bruno may perish the country. Is Your Majesty going to be a tyrant?"

A short-haired man in his 30s walked out of the queue. Although he knelt on one knee to show respect, his words were disrespectful and even threatening.

As soon as he opened his mouth, many nobles immediately echoed him.

His name was Sklar, and he was an aristocrat on Canulon's side before. He was a marquis, but he only provided troops and food, and he did not go to the battlefield himself, so he escaped.

"Anyone else who is dissatisfied can stand up." Lei Qi sneered, and glanced at the nobles who were kneeling on the ground and the people standing in the queue.

Not to mention, there are people who are not afraid of death, and more than a dozen nobles stood up, plus nearly forty nobles led by Sklar just now, kneeling on the red carpet to ask Leiqi to take back the order.

The rest of the nobles were either too timid to stand out, or they sensed something was wrong, so they didn't look at Nangong Long who was standing in front of the queue and didn't say anything.

Putting down the civil strife, repelling the invaders, and helping Leiqi ascend the throne, only promoted the title, but did not reward the duke with the territory he deserved, which is very strange in itself.

If today's situation is added, everything becomes obvious. This is something that the new king and Duke Nangong discussed early in the morning.

"If you agree to the new policy, this king will also plan to expose the fact that you stood in line before. Since you are looking for death, don't blame this king for liquidating with you."

The nobles below the throne were startled, especially those kneeling on the red carpet, but after thinking about it, most of the nobles of Bruno were involved in the struggle between Canulon and Tainati.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, so many of them will not kill them.

"Duke Nangong, I'll leave the rest to you." Leiqi's tone changed, not to mention gentle, but obviously no longer cold.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Nangong Long smiled and looked at Lei Qi who was sitting on the throne. If there weren't too many people here, Lei Qi really wanted to give him a supercilious look.

".'Your Majesty, Duke Nangong and others have committed crimes, and they have no respect for His Majesty."

Skolar's words made Reki's expression change, and she said in a warning tone:

"This king allows him not to bow down, do you have any objections?"

"...Don't dare" After thinking about it, Sklar gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hold onto it.

Nangong Long walked to the front of the queue, stood in the middle and faced all the officials and nobles, and looked at Skolar with a half-smile.

"The Marquis of Scolare, in order to please the Duke of Canulon, increased the taxation of the territory, regardless of whether the people lived or died. He even captured young girls in the territory and gave them to Canulon. Happened. Indulging one's sons, daughters and relatives to act recklessly in the territory. Accepting bribes is commonplace."

Every time Nangong Long recited a crime, the cold sweat on Sklar's forehead grew more and more.

"I'm wronged, I support that bastard Canulon, but I'm absolutely right about the other things (Nuo Li's)..." Scollar hurriedly opened his mouth to defend.

The so-called cold tea, not to mention that Jianulong is dead, as long as he can get away with it, he can say no matter how ugly it is.

"Whether it's true or not, you know for yourself, now shut up and listen to me"

Nangong Long's murderous pressure turned to Sklar, telling him to calm down, and then continued to read the crimes of other nobles.

The aristocrats who committed the crime became more and more frightened as they heard about it, and every single crime they committed was pointed out.

On the other hand, those nobles who governed their territories carefully and did not oppress the common people breathed a sigh of relief. At least they obeyed orders, and their lives should not be in danger.

By the time Nangong Long finished reading, more than 70 nobles, big and small, had kneeled in the hall.

Of course, not all the people here are the heinous people, some people just stood on the wrong team at the beginning.

No matter what kind of person you are, winners and losers, this is the reality.

Chapter 72 Time to Farm

Nangong Long divided the 70 people into three categories according to their crimes.

37 people who committed serious crimes were sentenced to death and ransacked their homes; 16 people who committed minor crimes had their titles stripped off and their homes were confiscated;

No way, most of the educated people in this era are nobles.

As for the knights of Bruno, they can read and write, but that's all. Whether they have the ability to manage is another matter.

"You can't do that"

"If we can't return safely, Bruno will definitely fall apart and fall into war again"

Knowing their fate, the nobles who knelt on one knee stood up one after another, saying anything, begging for mercy, threatening loudly, and cursing Bruno's subjugation...

Normally speaking, Bruno would indeed fall into turmoil, but Lei Qi dared to implement the New Deal in a drastic way, so she naturally had her reasons.

At the same time as the conviction here, the Archmage of the Undead on the other side has already taken the death knight to ransack the house, how could it be possible to give them time to react.

"come"

Leiqi yelled, and a team of death knights in armor rushed into the audience hall and pushed the rioting nobles back to the ground.

"What will happen to my king's Bruno in the future? You have no chance to see 953. Detain them all and execute them at noon tomorrow."

The number of people in the audience hall suddenly decreased by more than half, and it became empty.

"Is there anyone else who wants to object to my king's decision?"

Seeing that the people underground were silent, Reki showed a satisfied smile.

"Prime Minister, read out the next policy"

besides! ?The nobles who survived were really frightened to death. Is it their turn to be unlucky this time?

As a result, Bodvar just read out the new official system and town management plan.

This is not a policy that can be implemented in one step. It is just to let the people below have a concept first, and the actual implementation has to be carried out step by step.

In this way, the Kingdom Council ended with the iron blood of Reiqi and the timidity of the nobles.

"It was unexpectedly decisive." Sophie's voice was as pleasant as ever, but her words were not as relaxed as before.

Knowing what happened in the audience hall, Jistat's warrior girls gathered in Ellen's room again.

"Indeed, even with his support, Princess Leiqi is becoming more and more like a queen." Ailian nodded and said.
