"I said at the beginning that it is not appropriate for a ten-year-old child to inherit the throne. He will definitely do whatever he wants after he takes the throne. Now what I said has come true. Look, what is this child doing?"
In a luxurious courtyard, a white-haired, majestic old man sat on the main seat and spoke angrily.
“Isn’t it nonsense to allow civilians to privately own land, reward high-yield farmers, encourage farming, establish a complete military merit system, and award knighthoods to soldiers who excel in battle?”
When the old man started, a fat middle-aged man also sighed,
"Those untouchables who are as weak as ants, as long as they fill their stomachs, they are actually allowed to own land and rewarded. If the king wants to increase food production, he can just whip them.
There is no need to give these rewards."
"The same goes for those soldiers. They actually plan to confer knighthoods and land for their military merits. What a kid. If they really do this, wouldn't there be nobles all over the country?"
Opposite the fat minister was a general wearing armor, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. According to the cases of various countries, even if the soldiers fought bravely, they would just give some bounties and that would be it. This has never been the case.
Some have been awarded knighthoods.
"That's right, and if we use land as a reward, how can we get so much land in our country? The land controlled by us nobles is not enough." After hearing the general's words, the fat minister quickly nodded in agreement.
"These decrees must be rejected, and this child must not be allowed to be implemented smoothly, otherwise, our country will definitely be turned into a mess by him."
"Yes, we can unite with other ministers to submit a letter. With so many people opposing it, even if he is the king, he must consider our opinions."
"Let's contact some people first. I'm afraid that too many people will scare this little guy." The old man sitting in the main seat stroked his beard, and then said with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about this. Even if you get everyone involved, you probably won't be able to scare him. Of course, you don't have this chance!"
A voice suddenly came from outside the house, and when the voice sounded, a cold and deadly atmosphere enveloped the room, and spread quickly. A layer of frost condensed on the floor and doors and windows of the room at a speed visible to the naked eye.
.
"What is it? You dare to act wild in front of me!" When the room was enveloped in this breath of deathly silence, the general in armor immediately slapped the case and stood up, without any fear on his face.
"What the hell! Oh, it's so rare. I didn't expect you, Saxon, to have such a wild side. I always thought you were so submissive!"
At the moment when the cold atmosphere in the room reached its peak, the roof of the room was lifted open by a huge force, and then a monster with a forehead and two horns and a black face poked its head over, and its red eyes looked at the people in the room.
Everything was reflected in a scarlet color, as if stained with blood.
Next to this huge monster, there are many monsters with similar auras. Their bodies are as short as more than ten meters. These huge monsters surrounded the entire house and looked at the people in the room with greedy eyes.
Living things.
Outside the room, the black mist symbolizing death floated, covering the entire building complex, making it silent and intimidating.
"You are..." Although the power form and even the voice of speaking have completely changed, the general still recognized Fernand in the form of a corpse, because the two horns on his forehead, even if he was turning into a corpse,
After the ghost, not much changed.
"It turns out that you can recognize me like this. It seems that you have good eyesight." After finding out that he recognized him, Fernand expressed his appreciation, but he was not too surprised because he was not the first to recognize him.
, and it will never be the last one.
"Your Majesty, haven't you already..." When Fernand was in power, he worked hard to govern and accumulated great prestige. When he saw him at this time, even though his appearance changed drastically, the general couldn't help but change the tone of his words.
This is a habit that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and is difficult to change.
"I am indeed dead, but I continue to exist in this state. I am really not willing to die like this. I want to see my son lead the rise of Guy Country with my own eyes."
Fernand looked at the three courtiers below who were extremely shocked because he admitted his identity, "You should be able to guess the purpose of my appearance here now!"
"That boy, no, he is the current king. The reform he wants to carry out is actually your idea, but you are too embarrassed to do it, so you push this little son to the stage and let him attract our attention and lower us.
vigilance, and you escaped by feigning death and controlled everything behind the scenes."
The old man in the room had a look of sudden realization on his face, and he felt that he understood everything.
"You are wrong. It was my heir who proposed the reform. I was not as bold as him. I also raised objections at the time.
Then I realized that my opposition was useless, so I agreed, and now I am ready to help him complete the reform and remove all obstacles that dare to hinder the reform."
As Fernand spoke, he stretched out his huge palm toward the three "obstacles" below. At the same time, the corpse servants assigned to him by Muria also launched attacks on these people.
attack.
"Your Majesty, I have been fighting for you for many years. Just because I blocked your son's reform, are you going to eradicate me?" Seeing Fernand taking action against him, the general roared with grief and anger.
, his body began to expand rapidly, and scales appeared on his body.
"Haha, you did pay for me and this country before, but now you have become an obstacle that prevents Guy's country from continuing to grow stronger. Once the reform is successful, don't you guys really know what will happen?
"
Fernand grabbed the general who had turned into a white-scaled humanoid monster, and threw him directly, hitting the ground. The buildings collapsed and smoke billowed.
"You know very well what the National Assembly will look like after the reform is successful, but you guys are desperately trying to block the reform for your own interests."
"One is a son who wants to strengthen the country, and the other is a general who obstructs reforms for his own selfish desires. Is it difficult to choose?"
Looking at the white-scaled monster crawling out of the ruins of the building, Fernand waved his hand, and then more than ten corpse servants pounced on him and fought with him.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" When Fernand cast his eyes down on him, the fat and thin minister fell to his knees on the ground with tears streaming down his face. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy. In just a few strokes, he was killed.
There were bloody marks on his head.
"Why don't you kneel down?" Fernand didn't pay attention to the fat minister who behaved extremely badly when death came. Fernand turned his eyes to the gray-haired old minister who was raising his head and looking at him stubbornly.
"Because I don't think I did anything wrong. Your Majesty, you just said that after the reform is successful, do you think the reform can really be successful?
The success of His Highness Arnold's reform can make our country of Gay stronger, but this requires the cooperation of all ministers and nobles. This reform has touched their interests. Without the cooperation of noble officials, large and small, how can the reform be successful?
"
The gray-haired old man stated his reasons. This was the root of his opposition. He had already seen that this reform had touched the interests of too many people, and the resistance to its successful implementation would be too great.
Imagine.
"So am I not cleaning out those of you who are uncooperative?"
"What's the use of this method? All the ministers and nobles are opposing it. Does the king want to kill all these people?"
"Why not? None of you is irreplaceable. If you all oppose it, then replace all of you and let those who support the reform come forward."
As he spoke, a contemptuous smile appeared on Fernand's face, "And don't think too highly of the backbone of you people. When I wielded the butcher knife, most of the ministers and nobles were
React like the pig lying next to you, not like you."
"Relying on force to force reforms. Your Majesty, this is not your style. Is this also the idea of the new king?"
"Yes, he told me that if most people are opposed to something, then kill most of them, and then all the rest will be those who support him. The same is true for this reform.
.”
"Whoever opposes will die? The new king is really cruel, but maybe this will succeed."
"Repented?" Looking at the old minister mumbling to himself, Fernand asked with a smile.
"At this point, what's the use of regretting it? Are you going to let me go, Your Majesty?"
"Of course not, but you don't need to worry. You will continue to exist. You just need to be like me and become this immortal state."
The black mist swept towards the white-haired veteran. Without much resistance, the veteran was wiped out of all life in his body, and his eyes gradually turned red.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that although Fernand did not let the old minister go, he did not kill him either. The fat minister on the side was overjoyed. He raised his head and looked at Fernand eagerly, hoping to get the same reward.
treatment,
"There's no need to waste your strength on a waste like you."
Fat Minister: "??"
Fernand waved his hand, and the black mist swept down, directly draining the life out of his fat body. However, after he fell, he turned into a mummy and did not stand up again...
