"Your Majesty the Grand Duke Regent! Isn't this inappropriate?" As soon as Muria finished speaking, some nobles jumped out to object.
"What's wrong?" Muria sat high on the throne with a calm expression. It was normal for someone to object, and this was what he expected.
"The legislative power of the nobility was established by the founding king, and it has never been changed since the founding of the country..." This middle-aged nobleman, who looked a bit older and had gray hair, began to tell where these rights of the nobility originally came from, and he started to talk.
heap.
"Do any of you have any opinions?" Muria patiently listened to the nobleman's statement without making any angry or impatient expression, and then asked calmly, "Stand up and let me see."
It is a biological instinct to protect one's own interests from infringement. Although Muria is cutting the interests of the real nobles, the relationship between the nobles is intricate. Many of these nominal nobles standing in the council hall have relationships with the real nobles, and their interests are involved.
Below, many people spoke one after another.
"Every civilian under the lord's rule is able to farm in the city safely and safely without being disturbed by monsters because of the existence of those noble lords, so the lord has the right to pay taxes..."
"Grand Duke, you can't cut it. Once your order is issued, those powerful nobles will definitely be dissatisfied and resentful towards you, which will be detrimental to your governance..."
Muria just listened quietly to the speeches of this group of human dignitaries. They basically found various reasons to oppose his orders. None of them supported his orders, which was normal.
After the bustling quarrel between these powerful people was over, Muria said with an incomprehensible expression:
"Why are you telling me this? Do you think I am discussing with you? I called you here to discuss how to better implement these decrees. Don't let you oppose me."
As soon as Muria finished speaking, there was silence in the council hall, and all the human dignitaries looked at the young archduke sitting on the throne in astonishment, a little confused.
The newly appointed Grand Duke was too overbearing. He didn't even think about communicating with them. He called them over and only came to carry out orders.
So the efforts they had just racked their brains to find reasons to persuade him to rescind the order were all in vain. The Golden Dragon Grand Duke did not listen to a word.
"I feel that not only the laws and exorbitant taxes established privately by the nobles need to be abolished, but also some laws set by the kings of the past need to be revised. Times are progressing, and some things are no longer appropriate."
Muria said even more shocking words. He planned to carry out drastic reforms in the Lockman Kingdom. Such a backward rights system was really intolerable to Muria.
Just like Bella Dean said, with ten ancient dragons supporting him, he has nothing to worry about. With enough power, he can make everything go according to his ideas.
Muriyadu's words made the human dignitaries in the council hall dumbfounded. They had never thought that the ruling Grand Council would make such a decision.
"Jinlong, His Majesty Bella Dean has just abdicated the throne and asked you to take charge of the country's affairs on his behalf. You are acting so recklessly, intending to abolish the previous king's laws, weaken the rights of many nobles, and make them resentful of the kingdom..."
Immediately, a nobleman with an upright face stood up and scolded Muria, reprimanding him sternly, as if Muria had made some unforgivable mistake.
"Grand Duke of Muria, His Majesty Belladine trusts you so much, but you want to weaken the divided kingdom. It is really shameful for you to do this..."
"Ha!" Seeing that one after another people jumped out to oppose him, and some even pointed at him and scolded him, Muria showed a sarcastic smile on his face: "The reputation of the golden dragon is so good that even a human dares to point at it.
I spoke."
When Muria spoke up, the council hall fell silent again. After feeling Muria's anger, the cloud giant commanders on both sides turned around and looked at these nobles who had no idea what they were called.
"You think I won't kill you casually? That's why you dare to be so arrogant?" Muria sneered: "When I summoned those legendary Dukes, they faced me with the same respect. What confidence do you have to be so arrogant in front of me?"
The expressions of the nobles who had just accused Muria of making mistakes suddenly changed. This golden dragon seemed to be different from what they had heard, but now that the words had been spoken, there was no way to take them back.
"Bella Dean appointed me as the ruling prince, do you have any objections?" Muria put her right elbow on the armrest of the throne, tilted her body slightly, and lightly supported the side of her face with her right hand, "If you have any objections, it's simple, you can do it now
Resign from me and quit directly, so you don't have to see me and you won't have any objections."
"..." There was a moment of silence, and even the nobles who had just shouted obediently shut up. At first, Muria let them speak freely, but some people were distracted. Now, when Muria showed a hint of anger, they all became intimidated.
.
"Those who reprimanded me just now are very brave." Muria stood up with an indifferent expression on her face, "None of my parents or elders have reprimanded me, but you are the first to do so."
"But don't worry, I won't kill you because of this." Muria stretched out her mental power and gently touched the ring on her finger. Then a figure wearing black slim-fitting light armor, whose face could not be seen clearly, slowly
Slowly appeared, and then knelt down at Muria's feet.
"Shadow Guard!" When this figure appeared, the already ugly faces of many dignitaries in the council hall became even worse.
From their position, it is difficult to have a favorable impression of this kind of agency that is dedicated to being loyal to the royal family, exploring their intelligence and secrets, and occasionally doing assassinations on the side.
Of course, as long as the nobles with a little knowledge know about the existence of the Shadow Guard, it is an open secret. But you know, no one wants to see this kind of organization hidden in the dark with their own eyes. Really come into contact with the Shadow Guard
If you pass, it means you won’t have a good life for a long time.
"Grand Duke, what are your orders?"
"Let me briefly introduce the biographical information of these people." Muria reached out and pointed at the nobles who just scolded him below, "and focus on the things they have violated the laws of the kingdom."
After hearing Muria's order, the Shadow Guard, who had written down the information of countless noble officials in his mind, without looking back, directly recounted all the dark history that Muria just pointed out.
come out.
Then it was very simple. Muria dragged these nobles out and beheaded them in accordance with the laws of the Lockman Kingdom. When a ruler wants to find problems with his human subjects, it is not easy. Humans are creatures of desire, too
