Chapter 174: A Good Entry Point

But no matter what, the fall of the nobles is definitely inevitable, and even these traditional nobles have to face the emergence of more new nobles.

What's the meaning?

Soldiers who have made meritorious deeds definitely need to be well rewarded.

Zelen couldn't be stingy about noble titles or anything like that.

In this way, the traditional aristocratic forces represented by Qin must have great opinions.

But they can't express it openly, otherwise they will seriously offend the meritorious soldiers. If they don't do it well, the meritorious soldiers will burn down the house in a minute.

Therefore, Zelen thought about it. If he wanted to prevent his harem from catching fire, he needed to have a good talk with Dayang.

So, before nightfall, Qin's father Dayang naturally received the notice and came to the palace.

Dayang: "Indeed, I was the one behind the scenes."

Zelen: "You...Paula's matter is related to the taboos of the royal family. I believe you must know this. Even if I don't tell you, you are still capable of investigating."

Dayang: "Your Majesty, I am! I know, but I still object as I said."

Zelen: "You are going against the prime minister and the others. And don't you want to sit in the prime minister's position? If you go against the prime minister now, you are destroying your future. When the prime minister hears, he will definitely stop you."

Dayang: "Hmm!"

Zelen: "What's more, you have not yet entered the Congress, and you have not even sat in other positions in the Congress. Just the other ministers, are you sure you can defeat them?"

Dayang: "There is also Senagu among them, right? That guy is not easy to deal with..."

Zelen: "So, just stop. And compared to me, don't you have things to do with the Takagi Kingdom? How about that?"

Dayang: "I chose another suitable target. The guy before was too stupid and couldn't control his men."

Zelen: "You didn't control your men? What do you mean?"

Dayang: "This black-haired kobold named Jian didn't send anyone to keep an eye on the person in charge of the arsenal. As a result, the person in charge fled to other resistance forces with all kinds of information and objects."

Zelen: "Hey, this is a promising case. You should support more talents like this."

Dayang: "No. He is too promising and has already noticed my existence."

Zelen: "Well, if you can let the black-haired kobolds in the Eastern Province leave and go back to their hometown to fight, Earl."

Dayang: "Ah."

Zelen: "Instead of baron or viscount, I will directly make you a count."

Dayang: "I..."

Zelen: "This is your personal title, a noble title that you can pass on to the next generation."

Dayang: "Well... I obey."

For capable people like Dayang who are ambitious in their hearts, Zelen does not try every means to suppress him like his grandfather.

Doing so will only spawn a second Jugent.

What's more, the Krolod Empire is currently in the process of employing people, and there is a shortage of people everywhere for work or fighting. Therefore, Zelen is not worried about Dayang. On the contrary, he will support Dayang to a certain extent.

After all, he didn't want to get into too much trouble with the nobles. In today's era, the nobles had not yet entered the stage where they needed to be swept into the trash can called history.

He needs the nobles to be role models for everyone in the Krorod Empire and to be a good role model for the Krorod Empire.

Even he knew that with the war and the republican trend from across the ocean, there were obvious signs of the decline of the nobility.

but……

The nobles also know this, right?

They will definitely do something to be recognized by the public, lest they really be sent to the dustbin of history.

Miao Jie: "Actually, this is normal. If it were me... Well, indeed, in terms of tradition, Paula's origin is destined to not be a queen, but the empire is now in a difficult period, and many things cannot be carried out completely according to tradition. What's more, Paula has considerable financial and personal resources behind her, and even the palace guards support her. Therefore, the nobles outside will only waste their time if they think too much. "

Zelen: "You don't object?"

Miao Jie: "What's the point of my objection? What's more, even if I don't become a queen, the salary I earn from cultivating shaman talents in the academy will be enough for the rest of my life."

At night, Zelen took advantage of Paula's bathing time to privately consult Miao Jie and Felicity for their opinions.

Felicity: "Actually, in my opinion, it's the same whether you're a queen or not... No, being a queen is even worse."

Zelen: "Why?"

Felicity: "The queen has to go out frequently to engage in activities close to the people and maintain a certain aloof attitude. At least for me, this is just like being shackled and asking for trouble. Instead of doing this, I might as well learn from Miao Jie and wait. From now on, I will sleep with you exclusively Child. Minimize contact with the outside world as much as possible to prevent too much gossip. Moreover, my task is to be your personal guard. If possible, I don’t want to be too defensive. Many goals.”

Zelen: "Including Paula?"

Felicity: "Everyone does."

Everyone is.

With this answer, Zelen himself shook his head repeatedly.

No wonder everyone didn't like the fact that he left the palace and went outside to carry out various tasks.

But he thought about it. As an emperor, if he didn't know more about the sufferings of the people, how could he sit on this throne?

What’s more, the empire is now at war, and he needs to set a good example.

Zelun: “Thank you for your hard work.”

Miao Jie: “Aren’t you understating it a bit…”

Zelun: “What do you want? What do you want me to say? Felicity is a bodyguard sent by the military to protect me. She is very right to doubt everyone and guard against everyone. At least it proves that she is very dedicated and very suitable for such a job.”

Miao Jie: “Ha…”

Zelun: “But Qin and the traditional aristocratic forces behind her are still quite stubborn.”

Miao Jie: “Anyway, after the war, they will definitely not bother you.”

Zelun: “Why?”

Felicity: “Because the nobles are not a monolithic entity, the contradictions between the nobles are The shield is very big. Especially because marriage is full of various interests exchange behaviors, couples who originally have no feelings will have more and more conflicts. Then the infidelity between father and wife will lead to a more serious consequence. "

Zelen: "Vendetta."

Felicity: "So this is why our law has a provision that the children of concubines can only follow the mother's surname."

Zelen: "Then are you two willing?"

Felicity: "I have nothing to do with it. Anyway, I am a member of the army, and the army is responsible for me from birth to death. And my descendants are the same, the army will be responsible for me to the end."

Zelen: "What do you really think of the army..."

Miao Jie: " I'm simpler. I came here to get fresh seeds. The more you do it with me, the sooner I can have children, and the more children I have, the happier I will be. Otherwise, tonight, I will open my legs and make you happy. "

Zelen: "Don't. I promised the soldiers outside, and I also made promises to the officials. You know how frugal I am, and during the war... No, even after the war, there will be no time for ten or even fifteen years before everyone can relax their vigilance. "

Miao Jie: "In order to store enough supplies to ensure economic development? But by then, the Qiujin Empire will definitely pay a large sum of war reparations, right?"

Zelen: "Qiujin Empire Like our country, the Akitsu Empire is an island country. However, the Akitsu Empire has only four islands, while the Crurod Empire has thousands of islands. The geographical environment is very different in terms of material abundance. Even if they pay us compensation, they will not easily give up their ambitions of foreign aggression. I, at least I don’t want the Crurod Empire to continue to be invaded by the Akitsu Empire dozens or even two hundred years after my death. "

Miao Jie: "You mean..."

Zelen: "I want the Akitsu Empire to be destroyed. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it must become a country that has been trapped in endless civil wars for many years. In particular, they have something, they like to eat refined rice, which is a good entry point. "
