Proof of the Sun King

good news? Ryan frowned slightly, thinking about what good news the fairy in the lake could tell him?

Surya also set her eyes on the fairy in the lake. The female knight and the goddess have been together for a long time, and she can already feel that the goddess's emotions are a little complicated, but she is generally happy about it.

"Well." The happy mood of the fairy in the lake only lasted for a short while. The expression on her face fluctuated a little. She seemed to be sighing and helpless. After the scent of flowers filled the bedroom in the afternoon, he slowly said, "Leonace agrees."

"Agree?" Ryan repeated this sentence. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed Suria's shoulder, signaling his wife not to get up.

Duke Musillon thought for a moment and immediately understood something.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on, and Ryan was standing in front of the window. He pinched his chin: "This is... Whose decision? Dalhead?"

"It's Baron Adaihad, he's about to become the Duke of Leonasay." The fairy in the lake sighed, the goddess circled in the air, but sat beside Surya, the goddess's tone Inexplicable affection: "After many searches, the Duke of Leonassee's family decided that they could not wait any longer, and they decided to support Dalhide's nephew, Alderelde's cousin, Baron Adehad, With Richard's permission, Baron Adaihad is about to be named Duke of Lyonnaise, a kingdom knight in his fifties. He held a meeting at the Castle of Lyonnaise a few days ago to discuss the original Musi Long's old collar problem."

Ryan nodded, he stood in front of the window, thinking about a series of things, Duke Musillon raised his head, he suddenly smiled: "Oh, ma'am, Suria, you said that once this resolution is passed, the nobles of the kingdom will What would you think of me? A despicable thief who couldn't wait to feast on the duke's corpse as soon as he died?"

"Lane, don't talk about yourself like this, you have a legitimate reason." Suria was sitting on the bedside, limited by her physical condition, the female knight couldn't get up, so she could only comfort Ryan gently: "At present, what are you doing to Mu Xi? Long's old territory has a legitimate claim, and Leonasey also has it, so how to get back to this territory, if you follow the rules, then Leonasey will also act within the framework, and you don't have to worry about someone accusing you."

"Ha~" Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He shrugged his shoulders, and his expression remained calm: "So, my lady, what conditions did Adaihad offer?"

"Assist in suppressing the rebellion, enough food for three months, part of the population, and a sum of money." The fairy in the lake simply said: "A sum of money is enough, Baron Adehad's expectation for this is that 10,000 Five thousand gold crowns."

The first two were agreed, and Ryan didn't say much, but when he heard that Adehad actually asked for fifteen thousand gold crowns, the Duke's expression changed.

"15,000 gold crowns? Humph!" Ryan's face was cold, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "If you have the ability, keep the land, does Adaihad think he is very capable? If If I don't give it, he doesn't have to cede Musillon's old collar? What does he think he can do? Let Leonace return to the glorious days when he had nearly 10,000 knights?!"

"Ryan!" Su Liya wanted to laugh after hearing her husband's words, and her tone was a little bit strange: "Don't talk in such a yin and yang way, it will scare the children!"

"I'm sorry, ma'am!" Ryan hurriedly sat in front of the bed and gently held the little hand of the female knight, expressing his apology. The duke was gentle and considerate to him, and the graceful wife really had nothing to do, so he quickly apologized.

The fairy in the lake was sitting on the bed. The goddess saw that the relationship between Ryan and his wife was so good. She was both happy and unhappy. She stretched out her hand and squeezed Ryan's face: "Adaihad is also helpless, he will do this. The choice is not surprising, am I right? My champion?"

"I'm helpless!" Ryan sneered, and he immediately stood up: "Baron Adehad is very clear that since he can't keep it, he might as well use it as a threat, ask for something more, and want to take out one from me. A lot of money is coming to make up for his bottomless financial abyss. I understand that he is eager to ask for money, but fifteen thousand gold crowns?"

"...But that's Leonace of Sirruf, Ryan." The fairy in the lake did not accuse Ryan after hearing this. The goddess was neither happy nor sad, she seemed to recall something: "Silruf and Randu. Because, a sad dirge of fate, you are the one who inherited Randuin's will and wishes, Ryan Malcador."

Ryan's gaze froze, and the duke's eyes suddenly changed from sarcasm to sadness. He sighed: "Yes, I am the one who inherited Randuin's will. Before Randuin completely disappeared, he never forgot the last, It's between him and Sirruf, and I can't push Leonasse too much for that alone."

At this point, Ryan laughed again, he said with a smile: "Actually, Adaihad is very smart, at this time, if he is an idiot, he must be shouting that this part of Musillon's old collar is Leona Said is an inseparable part of the Holy Spirit, and will never cede and accept my demands, but Adaihad is a sensible man, he knows too well what he needs most as the new Duke of Leonathay, and Leonathay What is the key question."

The room fell silent.

Ryan was speechless, and the fairy in the lake seemed to be recalling something.

After a long time, someone decided to speak.

"Shake the burden." Suria finally spoke, the female knight gently signaled herself to get up, the fairy in the lake immediately supported her, and the female knight said softly: "This is a burden, a heavy burden, in this era , everyone has to carry their weight, but Leonace's burden is too heavy, it is too heavy, and Baron Adehad knows that the best way for him is to refuse to take over the throne."

"But he accepted." The expression of the fairy in the lake became more and more sad: "Any mortal is not a stone without feelings, personal interests are one thing, the interests of the principality are another, Adaihad stood up , he knew that he had to be careful and careful to take over this heavy dukeship. This dukeship was like a piece of extremely fragile glass. As long as there was a little bit of carelessness, Leonace would be shattered into pieces before he took over. "

"Therefore, he has to take off as much baggage as possible." Surya stretched her stomach, and the female knight was wearing a loose white silk dress. She slowly came to Ryan's side, and a warm smile appeared on the face of the female knight. , said sternly: "Mu Xilong's old collar is one of the heavy burdens, and at this time, someone wants this burden, so just give it to him! By the way, let's see what we can get."

Ryan sighed and nodded. Even in the middle of pregnancy, even if he stayed in the fairy tower in the lake for a long time to raise a baby, Sulia's political wisdom and political sensitivity were still outstanding. It could even be said that the whole There are few duchesses in the kingdom who possess her wisdom.

Why is Mousillon's old collar a heavy burden that Adaihad must get rid of?

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. Ryan directly looks at it from three aspects.

In terms of economy, judging from the current situation of the Principality of Lyonnaise, those places are now unable to collect a penny of taxes. Not only will Mousillon's old collar not bring help to the Principality of Lyonnaise, which is in serious trouble, Instead, a lot of food relief is needed.

The same is true for the military. How many registered knights does Leonasay have now? Less than eight hundred! It is very difficult for these knights to be able to protect the castle of Leonasse and its surrounding area, but what is the situation in that principality now? There are rebellions everywhere! The serfs raised the rebel flag and became the king of the mountains, and the Norsca pirates attacked the coast sporadically, but Leonasser had no soldiers! No food! If the burden in the south of Leonathi is now thrown away, the knights of the duchy can instead concentrate all their energy on defending northwards. In addition, Leon will send troops, and the military pressure will be reduced by 60% conservatively.

As for the issue of nobility, let alone the issue of nobility, after the battle of Chrona, the former Musillon nobles in Musilon's old leadership in the entire south of Lyonnax have long been loyal to Ryan, as Landuin's The heirs, the orthodox declarants of Duke Musillon and those who restore Musillon, who do not pledge allegiance to Ryan, who else can they pledge allegiance to?

Now those castles have all erected the Mousillon coat of arms with black irises on a yellow background.

What else can Adehad do?

"This is people's hearts! This is what people want!" Surya said to Ryan with some pride: "Lane, Adaihad knows that even if he leaves Musillon's old collar, he will not be able to receive a grain of food. If you can't get a copper coin, and you can't transfer a knight, what's the use of keeping it?"

This is her man. Today, Ryan has stood proudly on the top of the knight kingdom!

"So... 15,000 gold crowns." Ryan nodded, he thought about it, and smiled bitterly: "This is doing addition, doing subtraction, this burden is thrown, I have to catch it, he will reduce the burden, this is Do subtraction. I also have to pay him compensation, including sending troops, including supporting food, and a large amount of cash, this is doing addition, Adeihad, what a smart man, I also have to promise, because I want this piece The land, the richness of this land has been proven countless times."

"Before the Great Depression, Mu Xilong was called the country of a thousand lakes." The fairy in the lake smiled and said, "The most fertile land is that land. As long as you manage it well for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover more benefits. of."

"Okay, let Adaihad send someone." Ryan finally nodded, and he said seriously: "Everything has to be discussed before, money is not so easy to get!"

After all, it is necessary to take away nearly half of the land from Leonasse, and there must be some compensation, but Ryan also knows that it is easy to agree so easily that he will easily be taken advantage of, and the necessary negotiation is still necessary.

Ryan pulled up a chair, gently picked up Suria and sat down together, he put his arms around his wife's waist, and said with a smile, "Madam, you don't have to think about so many things, your most important task recently is to take care of yourself. Take care of yourself."

"Ryan~ What are you doing! The lady is still there!" Su Liya blushed immediately when she was hugged on her knees, and she said angrily, "Don't do this."

"Suria is pregnant now, Ryan, you have to pay attention!" Sure enough, the fairy in the lake also took the opportunity to attack Ryan, and the goddess stretched out her fist and hit Ryan on the shoulder: "Don't do bad things!"

"Hehe~" Ryan had a wry smile on his face. He gently hugged Sulia and let her lean on his chest, but he was thinking about his own power.

Now, he is the Duke of Mousillon, he controls an entire duchy, and in a few years he will become king.

Being able to do this in ten years is inseparable from his political marriage with Surya.

Before getting married, Lane was always considered an outsider.

And by marrying Surya, Ryan took advantage of the situation to "localize" his regime. Now, no Brittanian thinks that he is an outsider.

At this time, an heir is even more important to his regime, which means that his regime has continuity. Even if Ryan explodes in place and spirals into the sky, his regime will not collapse because of this. The knights under his command will not collapse. Will immediately support the child in Surya's womb as the next leader.

This is called the stability and continuity of the regime.

In Lane's previous life, he had also read the story of Yongan Tuogu, and he was so moved at that time.

But now, after he has really become a duke and established his own power, Ryan will go back and think, in that case, on the premise of having an orthodox heir, is it possible to entrust the country?

The answer is, no! Can! can!

But looking back, Ryan also knows that there are still many problems with the set of internal affairs system he established, including inefficient manor management, including low cohesion and low mobilization under the enfeoffment system, and the current combat effectiveness is strong and extremely high. The cohesion is achieved by Ryan's personal prestige and his unparalleled personal bravery, one after another brilliant victory.

What would the regime be like if Ryan himself was left behind?

Eastern Han model.

What is the Eastern Han model?

relatives in power.

Therefore, from this point of view alone, it is impossible for Ryan to divorce Suria. If he wants to divorce, the knights under his command will not agree, his subjects will not agree, the nobles of the knight kingdom will not agree, the fairy in the lake will not agree No, not his brothers, not even the Emperor himself!

From this point of view alone, this is another big game from his father! The Emperor had seen all of this earlier than Ryan. He would meet Surya in person and give her the title of "Empire Princess". A very important part of this was to tell Ryan that under any circumstances, you should not consider it. divorce!

"Lane?"

Fortunately, Surya is a real good match for Ryan. The female knight and him get along well, and they have a good relationship. With a child, Ryan has no idea of ​​divorce at all.

But that doesn't mean Ryan doesn't need to change.

Holding his pregnant wife in his arms, Ryan thought quietly that he would take this opportunity to start his own plan, taking advantage of the development of the new Musilon land and the arrival of a large wave of Musilon nobles.

"Ryan? Ryan?" Surya keenly felt Ryan's emotional changes, and the female knight said warmly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about the ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Musilon land, how to develop and rebuild it in the future." Ryan came back to his senses, he smiled at the female knight: "Suria, you said How about I transform the outer city of Mousillon into an urban belt of commerce and industry?"

"Of course!" Surya agreed immediately, and the female knight never objected to her husband's major decision: "It's just right, there is a white land now, we can do whatever we want, and now build an industrial zone and carry out Innovation is the best time!"

"Hehe~" Ryan's heart warmed, and he hugged Suria: "Thank you, Suria, I don't think I can leave you anymore."

"Ryan~" In Surya's sea-blue eyes, the light of wisdom flashed past, and the female knight leaned on Ryan's shoulder, her face full of happiness: "I don't want to leave you either."

The couple's show of affection finally made the onlookers stop watching, and the fairy in the lake stood up angrily: "Enough for the two of you! Okay, don't get tired of being together, afternoon tea time is here, let's go together Go to the garden to cool off and enjoy afternoon tea! Suria needs to exercise properly too!”

"Um!"

At the same time, the old world, the empire, the Rikland, the imperial capital Brunswick, the imperial palace.

Emperor Karl Franz, Field Marshal Rick Kurt Heilberg, Emperor's Bannerman Ludwig Schwarzhammer, Archbishop of the Church of Justice Vikma Fortitude, Great Alchemist Bertha Ze Geert, Ivan Ferdinand, Duke of Griffin, and Boris Todbringer, Elector of the White Wolf, and other most powerful men in the empire were meeting together.

And the protagonist they were talking about was Ryan Malcador, who had completed the mission of recovering Musillon, became the new Duke of Musillon, and was about to become the King of Knights!
