Although the Gwana Empire allows polygamy and has various restrictions on women, on the other hand, it also gives women considerable compensation, especially in terms of power. For example, the Black Veil Army, and if you want to marry a new wife, you must
All the original wives must agree. As long as one wife doesn't nod, I'm sorry, but the new sister has no legitimate status.
Sometimes men just want to try something new, just for fun, without giving the other person a serious name, and end up accidentally killing someone. Moreover, most of these women who are on the weaker side are civilians or people from outside the empire.
It is extremely difficult for such a person to enter the circle of imperial nobles. Because with the conservative style of the noble women of the Gwana Empire, it is unlikely that such a thing will happen. As for some bad things, dirty things
Not much to mention.
In short, in aristocratic circles, children who are not officially married are classified as illegitimate children.
Even if an illegitimate child is related by blood, he cannot be ranked in the line of succession unless he gets the emperor's permission. And this permission cannot be given randomly.
In reality, all the children with a clear blood relationship are dead, and there is really no one who can come forward to inherit. Only as a last resort will illegitimate children be considered to continue the inheritance of a noble. This also reflects the exclusivity of the imperial nobles.
.
Looking back at the situation of the Rizal family, it was clear that the Grand Duke Rizal was dead. Even if the body was not seen, the same result could be obtained using prophecy magic.
Although it is not ruled out that Mr. Rizal faked his death and hid in the dark. However, from a strategic point of view, doing so will only make the situation in the Rizal family collapse faster and more completely. No rational leader will make such a choice unless there is someone
A strategy that is enough to turn the tables.
And now it seems that the Rizal family has no trick to turn things around, but has really collapsed. If the Kawi family takes the opportunity to send troops, even the gods will be unable to save it.
In this situation, those who have the right to inherit have already jumped out and asked for the emperor's decree to take over the power of the Risa family. If there are more people jumping out, then everyone's ranking will be compared to see who is first and who is next.
back.
However, it has been some time since the big explosion in the Rizal family, and no one has clamored to inherit the title of Grand Duke Rizal. Some time ago, the old emperor even took out the succession list of the Rizal family and named them one by one.
Those with rankings have either been confirmed dead long ago or are missing.
It is certainly possible that these missing people died in the explosion together, but it has not been confirmed. But it is not impossible that they just hid to avoid being targeted by Kawei Gong.
After all, this old man's army is fully prepared and is just waiting for the order to attack. Whoever comes forward to inherit the title of Grand Duke Risa at this time is like a groundhog digging a hole. The old man of the Kawei family has not even given a hammer.
Hammer it down and smash out all the red and white ones.
However, there is still room for maneuver. The one targeted by Duke Kawei is undoubtedly the main branch headed by Angie Rizal. So will the Kawei family definitely wipe out the Rizal family? Or is it the main branch?
Will the matter be over with just one kill?
In the history of the empire, there were many situations where the Blood Flag Revenge was dragged into the quagmire of war, resulting in both sides losing. In the end, the emperor stepped in to clean up the mess, and each side dealt fifty blows, then stopped and everyone went back to their respective homes. In the end, no one
No one could be killed.
Such a situation is what both sides of Blood Flag Revenge want to avoid. It is also the reason why Duke Kawei did not send troops immediately in an attempt to solve the war with a quick attack. Because doing so can easily lose control and let the entire family's strength fall into the abyss of war.
slide.
If Duke Kawei can be relieved by getting rid of the main branch of the Risa family, then for the successors of the Risa family, quitting the army is nothing more than a matter of high or low cost. For the close bloodline with the right to inherit, originally
There is no chance, but if there is a chance to get the title of a great nobleman for nothing, no amount of price is too high to pay.
Even so, no one came forward to speculate, which means something. There is a high possibility that it is really the main branch of the Rizal family, and all the people who are ranked in the nearest branch are dead. The others are not ranked for inheritance.
The descendants and in-laws are watching.
If this is really the case, then whether the Rizal family can continue is a matter between the emperor nodding or shaking his head. That is why Ricardo Carvey would make such a request.
Is the Grand Duke important? The family that guards the borders of the empire is of course very important.
Whenever the territory of the empire expands, the territories of the sixteen great ducal families will be changed, giving up the hinterland of the empire and moving to the newly occupied frontiers. This has happened for hundreds of years. Perhaps this has not been done again in the past two hundred years, allowing them to move to the newly occupied frontiers.
Although their respective territories are well managed, the importance of the Grand Duke's family has not diminished.
However... when the forum and transportation methods such as cars and trucks appeared, the situation seemed to be a little different.
Is it still necessary for the Grand Duke to exist? It seems... it doesn't seem that necessary anymore.
So is this a good time now?
With this thought, the beating sound of the old emperor's heart echoed in his eardrums. Armin was moved by the suggestion made by this old man who had followed him all his life.
I have spent my whole life improving the majesty of the royal family and winning the hearts of the nobles, just to gain power in their hands. The original idea was to slowly weaken the nobles, but as I am getting older, will my successors understand my painstaking efforts?
, Emperor Armin was not sure at all about continuing this route.
But the battle between the two great dukes undoubtedly put an excellent opportunity in front of him, which allowed the emperor to take a big step forward in his ambition. However, the outcome of the war was beyond everyone's expectations, but... the opportunity seemed better.
!
While he was thinking eagerly about how this matter should work, the old emperor saw at a glance the insignificant young man standing three steps behind his father.
In fact, Marquis Farshid is not considered young. But after all, the children Emperor Armin has seen since childhood, whether they have beards or not, whether their hair is white or not, are still young people in the eyes of their generation.
And this young man represents another generation. Emperor Armin didn't know if his old man had discussed these requests and suggestions with his children.
Although the two of them appeared together, Ricardo Carvey was famous for being arbitrary. He would ask for advice on everything, but it was because he didn't care about those things. And what he really wanted to do was usually
It’s all done before others know about it. I don’t know how many times I’ve met the old emperor in my life.
So Emperor Armin couldn't help but wonder what this young man with no sense of existence was thinking. So he joked: "Son, your father has ruined the inheritance left by his ancestors, so you have nothing to say to him."
?”
It is a good thing for Marquis Farshid to attack the prince early. Giving away or selling the cars and trucks allocated by the two legions is a small matter, but ten manors are a big deal that shakes the foundation. The old man is willing to sacrifice his family's
Profit and loyalty to oneself are the old man's own business. But does his family also think the same way?
To be fair, Noonan Farshed has no ideas. This does not mean that he is a follower of the crowd, but that he also agrees with what his father said.
Under the premise of forums and cars, it is a trend for power to be greatly concentrated in the center. Because local areas do not need too much power, the empire can still manage local areas well. And doing so is good for the Gwana Empire.
But local power is now in the hands of local lords. In other words, this trend will bring about two developments: first, peaceful transition, where the power of the nobles is weakened and the power of the emperor is strengthened; second, civil war. Even if it is not here
If there is a war during the reign of an emperor, there is a high probability that this conflict will break out at any time.
From the family's standpoint, it seems that he should oppose his father's conspiracy with the emperor and maintain the interests of the family. But in the long run, showing loyalty and tightly binding his family to the royal family may not necessarily bring him the benefits he wants.
It is inferior to what you get from occupying one-third of an acre of land on the border.
However, the interests of the latter depend on whether the subsequent emperor can continue his investment, which is invisible and unpredictable. Choose land and manor, because it is something that can be seen, and as long as it is occupied, it can continue to produce
Benefits are easier to understand.
But between difficulty and simplicity, Noonan Falcid was confident in coping with any situation. So he really had no idea how to choose between the two.
However, the emperor's question still had to be answered, so Marquis Farshid bowed his head respectfully and said something beautiful: "It is my lifelong ambition to serve your majesty. Life can be lost, but mere possessions outside of me are nothing."
"Okay! Okay, okay." Emperor Armin stepped forward with satisfaction and patted this young man's nephew heavily on the shoulder. With the strong support of the father and son, even at his age, some of the taboos in the past were gone.
It's not that you can't touch it. So the emperor was even more proud.
In the end, this bloody battle of revenge did not really start, and the emperor's decision shocked countless people.
The first thing to mention is that these dispositions were made directly by the emperor himself without the consent of the imperial prime minister, the crown prince. This means that the parties involved are all outstanding figures of the old emperor's generation, and even if the crown prince wants to intervene,
, even if you move out of your own identity, it will not help. So the old emperor can handle it by himself, there is nothing wrong with it.
First of all, the old emperor clearly ordered the war to end, and ordered all the legions under Rizal to be disbanded on the spot. The remaining weapons and supplies were built by local lords to build warehouses for safekeeping.
As there was no heir to the Rizal family's territory, the old emperor directly sent an administrator to take "temporary management". This was also the standard way to deal with those families that had no heirs. As for the management of the territory, taxation and military service, of course, it was directly to the emperor.
Responsible. Originally, the affairs management of the vassals of the Risa family were also handed over to this administrator.
Such behavior is very unusual in the eyes of other nobles.
Only great nobles can have their own hereditary vassals. However, although there are precedents for using the administrator's model to manage the territories of extinct nobles, it was only targeted at small nobles in the past.
The so-called "big" among the big nobles refers not only to status, but also to the size of the family. Even if the main branch dies, is it really impossible to find a suitable heir from nearby branches, side branches, in-laws, etc.?
