In the early morning, when he got up from the bed, Rhodes felt exhausted. He couldn't sleep well during the past few nights in Kislev City. The messy things in the capital made him upset. Damn it! He was not as bothered as a war...
…Rhode complained.
After the servants changed his clothes and put on his formal clothes, Rhodes slowly walked into the Kislev City Council Hall.
The display in the conference hall is still gorgeous. The floor is covered with fine rugs from the distant Arabi region. A huge map of Kislev hangs on the wall in the center of the hall. The walls on both sides are covered with paintings from more recent times.
A tapestry painting of distant Cathay. On both sides of the gate are a pair of white bear statues, symbolizing the long-term stability of Kislev.
The atmosphere here was much better than three days ago. When Rhodes walked in, everyone nodded friendly to him. Servants came and went, busy serving wine, wiping tables, chairs and the floor. Thinking back to three days ago, one day
The atmosphere was so serious when the Kislev nobles were discussing matters here. At that time, the Treaty had just been drafted and the king had not yet signed it, so everyone was unsure.
And now, they seem to be the victors. Tsar Pavel signed his name yesterday, indicating that the treaty came into effect. In the history of Kislev, it should be said that the first democratic legislative treaty in the entire history of the Old Continent appeared.
, which limited the power of the king and ensured the interests of the nobles. Rhodes specifically named it "Magna Carta".
Not to mention the means, this efficiency is enough to impress the entire Kislev nobles. It can be seen that the nobles who were still looking gloomy a few days ago are now filled with warm and joyful smiles. Luo
Deda strode in, like a general returning from victory, receiving bursts of applause and blessings. Some wars are not won with swords...
However, Rhodes clearly knew that this war was far from over. The Magna Carta had been signed, but Pavel would definitely be dissatisfied. As soon as his troops withdrew, the Tsar might one day regret it and tear it up.
A treaty is also very possible. By then, there will be another bloody storm in Kislev.
Before the Chaos Storm arrived, there was chaos within the kingdom and they were fighting each other. This was something Rhodes would never allow. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of this situation, Rhodes formulated a follow-up plan, which was to set up a supervision group to be responsible for supervision.
The Tsar enforces the Magna Carta.
"Everyone, let's get started."
Rhodes walked over and sat down on the main chair with a deep and powerful voice. Everyone immediately took their seats. They had never led nobles before, but now, the nobles were surprisingly uniform and obeyed the words of this northern lord.
If you want to lead the nobles, you have to think about how to give them benefits; if you want to lead the common people, you have to think about how to give them a good meal. Rhode thought this sentence is really true...
"Lord Rhodes, please arrange the selection."
The great nobleman Yevnigen said seriously. No one said a word at the scene... The inspection team is actually a real public service department. It cannot get any substantial benefits from it, and it has to deal with the tsar every day. So, this is not something
A good position, on the contrary, joining the inspection team means having an additional responsibility and obligation, responsible for ensuring that the interests of the nobles are not infringed. It is a position where there is little to gain from doing too much. But there must always be someone to take it.
"Wait, before we discuss the candidates, I have something else to say."
Rhodes said seriously.
"You say."
Everyone turned their heads with respect.
"This is a department that confronts the Tsar. It is tentatively composed of twelve people. It has great power and is responsible for supervising the implementation of the Magna Carta. But at the same time, because of its great power, it is also susceptible to corruption. Let me put it bluntly,
You are a group of people, and the Tsar is one person. As long as he wants, he can deal with you one by one in the future. Transferring interests and exchanging interests are common tricks and means. Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, I must immediately
Put down the iron rule."
Rhodes took a sip of water and continued -
"That is, the members of the inspection team must implement a rotation system and replace the members of the organization every two years, so as to avoid power corruption. If the tsar intends to win over, it will not help."
"a wise decision!"
All the nobles agreed. Although Rhodes didn't know how much flattery there was in this, but in short, it is up to him to decide now. The system is the foundation, and all orders are established under the conditions of the system and the law. Therefore, in order to ensure
For the department to operate in the longer term, Rhodes must try to improve it as much as possible from the beginning.
"Potter, write it down."
Rhodes said.
The clerk took notes carefully.
"Okay, now let's make the personnel decisions."
Simple and direct, this has always been Rhodes' style of doing things.
"Yevnigen, you have made great achievements in the legal field and are very talented. I suggest that you serve as a member of the supervision team."
Rhodes turned to look at the Kislev nobleman who had supported him throughout the whole process. Yevnigen nodded and said nothing.
"Alexa, you are an expert in public health management. You should also be a member of the organization."
"Vladimir, we are old friends. This time the Northern Army was able to enter the city smoothly, all because of your credit. You should also take up this position. Supervise our Tsar and implement the Magna Carta.
"
After listening, Vladimir nodded seriously.
"Duke Samuel."
Rhodes continued to shout.
"Grand Duke Samuel."
Samuel didn't say a word, but Rhodes deliberately repeated the call. In this way, he had to show up with a fake smile on his face. It can be said that he was the most unhappy after this incident. Samuel thought, originally
He should be the one sitting on the throne and leading the nobles, not this Yankee who came out halfway...
"I'm here, Lord."
Samuel responded with a smile.
"You have made great achievements in the construction of public order, and Tsar Pavel is your nephew. Having you on the inspection team must be the best choice."
Rhodes smiled and then said——
"Supervising him is actually for his own good. We all know that Kislev needs a qualified monarch. In order to prevent Pavel from going astray again, we must supervise him well and ensure the legal effect of the Magna Carta. You
I have been silently tutoring Pavel all this time, I think, this time, I just need to change my approach and continue to help him, right?"
Rhodes' words left Samuel speechless and he could only nod in approval.
Not long after, the twelve members of the inspection team were confirmed. Rhodes then leaned on the back cushion of the chair and observed the nobles present. Some of them were happy and some were sad. After all, no one wants to be in a position that only pays for nothing. Everyone
They all hope that someone will help them carry it in front, and they can just enjoy the benefits. The establishment of the inspection team will undoubtedly face the moody Tsar in the future, and it will be common for Pavel to constantly target him in the future.
"Okay, let's finally implement our due powers."
Rhodes said——
"It is his right to bring the exiled nobleman Leonid back to Kislev. We must get the lost rights back. Starting from Leonid, there is also his son."
After Rhodes finished speaking, the audience applauded in approval. But Samuel was in the corner, his face ashen. There is no doubt that Rhodes' move not only regained the rights for the nobles, but also won Leoni over by the way.
The De family is one of the most prestigious lords in the south...
