Chapter 2302 Regulations
The situation that Ravenson is now facing is really embarrassing. Misad's question now has obviously pushed Ravenson into a corner. The question he has to face is whether he recognizes the new emperor.
Yes, it is obvious that the new emperor Misad is definitely problematic. Anyone can think that this emperor may be the emperor who was supported by the invaders. In theory, everyone should not recognize it. Lavenson has called it so far. Misad still called him "His Royal Highness", which means that he did not recognize the emperor, but the question now is, is it your turn to question it?
Yes, he is sitting on the throne now. He has a crown, a jade seal, and the documents for enthronement have also been sent down. To be honest, although the process is a bit simple, and there is no formal ceremony, but he can still be called the emperor if he insists. of. Then what status does he, the temporary captain of the Royal Guard, have to question his throne? You mean that onion?
Judging from the current situation, Ravinson now suspects that this incident was a coup d'état launched by Prince Misad. As for him, if you recognize the new emperor, of course you must obey the new emperor's order, and you should retreat. You don't recognize the new emperor, why do you question your identity? It seems that it can only be regarded as treason. This made Lavenson really have a headache, because he really didn't know what to do.
Now there are only two choices for Ravenson, one is to admit Misad, then he will retreat first according to Misad's order. The second is to question on the spot, then Misad will definitely declare himself a traitor. Theoretically speaking, Lavenson can't wait to question it directly now, but there is a problem that the people next to him don't agree with him. Yes, these vice-captains and their subordinates are not his own people, but he is the old man. Others were already dissatisfied with the temporary commander appointed by the emperor. Now if I questioned it directly, would someone jump up and join the new emperor, and then cut themselves off?
Lavenson was a little worried, and of course he didn't dare to ask now. After thinking about it, Lavenson decided to use the insurance method, which is to go back first. Yes, after all, it seems that the rescue is too late, so let's go back and make a decision now. Of course, this didn't mean that he recognized Misad. What he thought was that he couldn't question Misad, but someone could question him. For example, their First Prince would have sufficient reasons to question him. Lavenson felt that after he went back, he would inform the eldest prince immediately, and then he would take refuge with the eldest prince and let the eldest prince come back to preside over this matter. At that time, he and the eldest prince would attack the palace together, and then he would be the eldest prince's man Well, it's still from Long Zhigong, so I still can't sit firmly in the captain's position.
"Then since it's all right... the minister will leave first." Thinking of this, Ravinson here doesn't want to say anything more to Misad, he will only go back to contact the eldest prince, and Misad, please don't provoke him. He, he took precautions, if the other party attacked him, he had no choice but to be rude.
Misad didn't say anything, and let Ravenson and the others go. Ravinson was also careful along the way. After all, he now thinks that Misad contacted the invaders to launch a coup. The other party still has troops, and they might ambush them, but they didn't. He pushed all the way back to his station , or nothing happened.
On the other side, Misad was also relieved. I didn't expect that the people of the Royal Guard really retreated. He is really quite the emperor now that he was fooled by Li Huailin, and he also thinks that with the help of Li Huailin, he can succeed. I really believe in Li Huailin.
"But judging from now, it seems that the captain still doesn't recognize me, and he won't obey my orders." Misad is at least from the royal family, which can be seen, "Now that guy Vico (The name of the First Prince) is serving in the First Legion. He is the crown prince recognized by his father. If he receives the news, he will definitely bring back the army of the First Legion. What should I do then? The Royal Guards will fall down when they see this situation. To Vico's..."
"Don't worry." Li Huailin said with a smile,
"It's not a problem. You've joined me now. Of course I'll take care of your affairs, right?"
"Then what should we do? Are we going to deal with the Royal Guard?" Misad asked immediately.
"Don't be so troublesome." Li Huailin waved his hand, "Now you are the emperor, what do you think an emperor needs most if he wants to stabilize his position?"
"Uh... army?" Misad said after thinking for a while, and then added, "A powerful army, Master Huailin, you have to help me, I don't have any soldiers now, I can only rely on yours The army is here."
"Are you TND stupid?" Li Huailin raised his forehead, "The most important thing is the hearts of the people, okay? What's the use of the army, if the hearts of the people want us, we are invincible, even if there is no soldier, the other party will not dare to move Let's go."
"Huh?" Popularizing the theory of people's opinion for Misad is basically playing the piano against the cow. How could Misad, who was born in the royal family, care about the people's opinion? Invincible, is this a joke? But after all, it was Li Huailin who said it, and of course Misad would not question it, but felt that it was not right.
"Looking at your expression, I know you don't believe me. I have to prove it to you." Li Huailin said.
"Uh... Well, no matter what, even if there is the popular will to be invincible, I don't have the popular support. The elder brother is the prince, and he is still very popular among the people, but I rarely go out, basically Those untouchables... No, the people don't know me very well... What... what should I do?"
"I'm going to help you." Li Huailin smiled, and McCann, who happened to be next to him, walked over from the side, holding a few documents. Of course, Li Huailin asked him to write them, and they have just been written.
"Come on, if you are the emperor now, send out these official documents, and I guarantee that the common people will support you from now on." Li Huailin said with a smile and handed these documents to Misad.
Of course, Misad can also read and write, just take it and read it. At this time, McCann also whispered to Li Huailin: "Your Majesty, is this really all right? What are we here for? The people will definitely rebel on the spot when they see such an order."
"What?" McCann had just finished speaking, and Misad on the opposite side also jumped up. Yes, his first reaction after seeing these documents was stunned. All these documents are simply a treaty that forces people to rebel what.
For example, the first one is the notice of tax increase. Yes, now Misad surrendered to the Continental Alliance on behalf of the empire. Of course, the Continental Alliance is the new suzerain country. So Li Huailin said, you people now have to increase taxes. In addition to the 15% tax rate originally collected by the empire, you have to pay 50% of the tax rate. These taxes are all paid to the Continental Union.
The second order is also similar to this one, that is, the people of the empire must work for the Continental Alliance. Except for your original working hours, each of the remaining people must provide a labor force to work for the Continental Alliance, and it is free of charge.
Article 3 and Article 4 are also similar. Simply put, the empire was exploiting you before, but now that there is one more person above, of course the exploitation of you will be intensified.
Of course, Misad was really stunned when he saw these terms. Although he doesn't care about the lives of the people, but you are really making people unable to live, okay? What is the situation with this 50% tax? The empire only collects 15%, and you collect 50%. If you calculate it like this, the common people will charge 65% tax. Who can live? Then, in this case, you still have to make them perform hard labor and military service... He is a commoner and he is against it.
Misad also heard what McCann next to Li Huailin said in a low voice before, and now he also knows what it means. He just believed that Li Huailin wanted to support him as the emperor. Now he looks at this thing. Is it the rhythm to kill him by the hands of the people?
"Okay, okay, if there is no problem, just send it directly." Li Huailin also waved his hand and said.
"No, Master Huailin, this thing..." Misad was really sweating profusely, but he was interrupted by Li Huailin just as he was about to say something.
"What do you mean, don't you want to post it?" Li Huailin squinted his eyes and said, "I tell you that I'm saving your face by showing you now, you are just the person who is responsible for signing, drawing and depositing, now Do you still want to get off my boat? I don’t have time to argue with you now, so sign it for me immediately.”
"This..." Misad also thought of his current situation when he heard this. Yes, it seemed that he really had no choice. Li Huailin was right, now he is at the mercy of others, and it is not a bargaining negotiation. After thinking about it, it seems that there is no way not to sign.
There is no way for Misad to accept his fate, and sign the things first no matter what. Then it was stamped. It didn't take long for these documents to be sent out. Following the previous batch of documents on the new emperor's appointment, they were immediately spread to various cities in the empire.
Until now, of course the common people don’t know what happened. Of course they don’t know whether these emperors and princes were really killed suddenly. They don’t know if the new emperor came to the throne in the right way. No one questioned, and of course they had no right to question the new emperor. But they understand the treaties after the registration documents, which are closely related to them. And after reading these documents, the entire Xoss Empire suddenly exploded.
