Seeing that no one came forward anymore, Ren looked down again and asked in a deep voice.
The officials below who supported the revision of the title succession law lowered their heads. Only they knew the pressure of being stared at by Renn like this.
A nobleman standing in the front row had his hands and feet trembling slightly. For the first time, this usually easy-going and even weak king made him feel tremendous pressure.
"Where are the Knights of the Golden Temple?"
Renn suddenly shouted loudly, which was like a thunderous explosion in the originally silent court. Some people were even frightened by the sudden shout.
"Tap tap tap..."
As Ren's words fell, a burst of heavy footsteps sounded from outside the hall, and more than a dozen fully armed guards filed in from outside the hall. These knights of the Golden Palace were not many in number, but they all had the strength of the knight level. They led them
The captain is a strong man at the peak of the Great Knight.
"The Knights of the Golden Palace swear to serve His Majesty to the death."
The leader of the team stood at attention after entering the hall, hammered the armor on his chest with his hand, and spoke loudly to Ren.
"Dave Kumar, Jacques Zuma, Eddie Fallin... and other five people tried to tamper with the ancestral system and destroy the foundation of the kingdom. Their intentions are abominable and their crimes cannot be forgiven...
The knights of the Golden Palace were ordered to take the five people into custody, and immediately marched them to Longjiaomen to behead them in public. The families they belonged to had their titles revoked and their property confiscated. The men of the three families were sent to Longxiguan as hard labor, and the women were sold by the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, the dragon knights of the town will be mobilized to assist in the execution. If anyone dares to resist, they can be killed on the spot."
Hearing Ren's harsh words, the five people outside the queue were shocked. They couldn't believe that just proposing to amend the title succession law would lead to such a severe punishment.
They were actually just pebbles thrown out to explore the path, but maybe even the person who threw the pebbles didn't expect that Renn would have such a violent reaction.
The knights of the Golden Palace didn't care so much. They were only responsible to the king. After listening to Ren's order, they stepped forward and dragged the person outside the palace. Ren's order was to immediately drag the person to Longjiao Gate and behead him in public.
, then they won't delay for a minute.
"Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Zuo, save me."
Finally, one person struggled fiercely while being dragged by the Knights of the Golden Palace, and instantly betrayed the person behind him.
The court of the Golden Dragon Kingdom can be roughly divided into three factions. The faction of the House of Nobles represented by the Left Prime Minister is basically composed of meritorious nobles with titles.
The civil servant faction represented by the Right Prime Minister is mainly administrative officials. After all, although the kingdom values knights, it still needs to handle government affairs, so there are also some management-type officials who have gradually risen to high positions, but most of them do not have knight-level cultivation, so
There is only an official position but no title.
There are also several military factions represented by senior officers.
In addition, there are the Dragon Knights of the Kingdom who have a transcendent status. They cannot be counted as any faction and are only responsible to the king. No matter which faction, people will not easily provoke the Dragon Knights of the Kingdom.
The two factions that want to push for the revision of the inheritance law this time should be the House of Nobles and the Civil Service. Although the two factions have usually not dealt with each other, it would be beneficial to both parties to abolish the law that the title must be inherited by those with knighthood or above.
The House of Nobles faction is mostly composed of nobles who hold titles. The law of title succession has always been criticized by this group of people.
Whenever a noble has his family title revoked because there are no knights in his descendants, it will cause a burst of grief.
Even though their generation is full of talents and there is no shortage of knights, people are far-sighted and they are always worried that a certain generation will lose their family territory and title due to their downfall, so they want to try to push for the abolition of this law.
The civil servants also have their own interests in joining forces with them. Although most of them do not have the strength of knights, they have outstanding abilities and can occupy high positions. However, they cannot obtain titles because of the law that non-knights cannot be nobles.
As long as this law is abolished, they will also have the opportunity to obtain a title and improve their status. Therefore, when the House of Peers tried to push for changes to the title inheritance law, they rarely came out to oppose it and cooperated with it.
The left minister was in a dilemma when he heard his subordinates shouting. Since the new king took the throne, he has always shown gentleness to others. In addition, he was lucky enough to get the throne. He didn't even manage his own power before taking the throne, which led many people to think that he was weak and vulnerable.
bully.
The Left Chancellor did not have such naive ideas, but he did not expect that Renne would suddenly become so angry. He thought that the worst result would be to fail to achieve his goal, but he did not want to directly anger Renn and all his men would have to pay for it.
After thinking about it, Prime Minister Zuo was about to stand up and say a few words of pleading, but was stopped in place by Ren's words.
"Anyone who dares to intercede for five people will be guilty of the same crime as the five people."
The left prime minister had a strong premonition that as long as he dared to stand up and plead for mercy, the Zhenguo Dragon Knight would land on his mansion.
He glanced at his old enemy, the Right Chancellor, who buried his head as deep as an ostrich, obviously unwilling to bring trouble to the king again.
And several military generals all looked gloating,
He sighed and buried his head calmly, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
"boom"
"ah!"
A shrill cry sounded at the door of the palace. A member of the House of Nobles was so anxious that he ignited his own fighting spirit and wanted to resist. These courtiers of the House of Nobles basically had the training of knights.
But as soon as he ignited his fighting spirit, the leader of the Golden Palace Knights violently removed his arms. A knight seemed particularly powerless when facing the great knight.
The screams became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared.
But no one in the entire hall dared to make a sound. Maybe most of the officials really got to know His Majesty Ren today and understood what it means to be angry.
Regardless of whether he was lucky enough to get the throne, as long as he sat in that position, the royal family would be unconditionally loyal to him, and he would be the master of this country.
"If nothing happens, please step aside."
Renn seemed to be a little angry and impatient when he spoke, but the people below did not dare to be dissatisfied at all, and they all bowed and left the palace, feeling relieved.
Some people even had their backs completely wet with cold sweat.
…
Renn returned to the inner hall with some lingering energy.
"These bastards just want to destroy my country!"
The internal officials serving on the side were a little frightened when they saw Ren so angry. They also heard what happened in the court today. This gentle and easy-to-serve king made them feel frightened for the first time.
"Your Majesty, urgent report about the Golden Dragon Clan."
Ren suppressed his anger a little, took out the wax-sealed letter, and looked at it carefully.
For a moment, Ren's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he squeezed the note tightly into a ball.
