“Is there no one left?”
Seeing that no one continued to stand up, Ren looked down again and asked in a deep voice.
The officials below who supported the revision of the title succession law buried their heads low. Only they knew the pressure of being stared at by Renn like this.
A noble 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 Palace?”
Ren suddenly shouted loudly, which sounded like thunder 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 Golden Palace knights were not many in number, but they all had the strength of knights. The captain who leads them 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 captain 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 went to Longjiaomen to behead them in public. The families they belonged to revoked their titles and confiscated their property. 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 are mobilized to assist in the execution. If anyone dares to resist, they can be killed on the spot. ”
Listening to 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 Ren would have such a violent reaction.
The knights of the Golden Palace did not care so much. They were only responsible for the king. After listening to Ren’s order, they stepped forward and dragged the person outside the palace. Ren’s order was to drag the dragon away immediately. If Jiaomen beheads the public, they won’t waste a minute.
“Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Zuo, save me.”
Finally, someone 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 servants represented by the Right Prime Minister are 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. , that is, there is only an official position but no title.
There is also an army faction represented by several senior officers.
In addition, there are the transcendent Dragon Knights of the Kingdom. They cannot be counted as any faction and are only responsible to the king. No one from any faction will easily provoke the Dragon Knights of the Kingdom.
The two factions that want to push for changes to the inheritance law this time should be the House of Nobles and the Civil Service. Although the two factions usually do not deal with each other, it will be beneficial to both parties to cancel the law that the title must be inherited by those with knighthood or above.
The House of Lords faction is mostly composed of nobles with titles, and the title succession law 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 cancellation 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 cancelled, they will also have the opportunity to obtain a title and improve their status. Therefore, when the House of Lords tried to push for changes to the title inheritance law, they rarely opposed it and cooperated with it.
The Prime Minister Zuo was in a dilemma when he heard the shouts of his subordinates. The new king has always been gentle since he took the throne. 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 His weakness can be bullied.
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 be killed. Pay it in.
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 the five people will be guilty of the same crime as the five people.”
The Prime Minister Zuo 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.
Looking at his old enemy, the Right Prime Minister, he buried his head as deep as an ostrich, obviously unwilling to bring trouble to the king again.
And several military generals all looked gloating,
Sighing, he still buried his head calmly, pretending that he heard nothing.
“Bang”
“Ah!”
A shrill cry sounded at the door of the palace. A member of the Noble House faction was so anxious that he ignited his own fighting spirit and wanted to resist. These courtiers of the Noble House faction basically had the cultivation of knights.
But as soon as he ignited his fighting spirit, the commander 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.
No matter whether he is lucky or not to get the throne, as long as he sits in that position, the royal family will be unconditionally loyal to him, and he will be the master of this country.
“If nothing happens, please step aside.”
Ren seemed a little angry and impatient when he spoke, but the people below did not dare to be dissatisfied at all. They all bowed and left the palace, feeling relieved.
Some people even had their backs completely wet with cold sweat.
……
Rene, who returned to the inner hall, was still a little angry.
“These **** 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 frightened them for the first time.
“Your Majesty, urgent report about the Golden Dragon Clan.”
Rene suppressed his anger, took out the wax-sealed letter, and looked at it carefully.
For a moment, Ren frowned deeper and deeper, and he squeezed the note tightly into a ball.
