Chapter 1102: The Sudden Outbreak of Aristocrats (I)
The marriage between top nobles is always a matter that deserves everyone's attention.
Because it means a new covenant, it means that the existing balance is broken, and it means a redistribution of interests.
Especially for a monarch as famous as Harrison, who his daughter wants to marry, it is like a twelve-magnitude earthquake, which quickly spreads throughout the surrounding countries.
Although it was only engaged, the marriage was made to the notorious tyrant Kirwyn in recent times.
You must know that more than 90% of the nobles do not like this guy who has risen to prominence by destroying the existing order and launching a rebellion, and they don't want their vassals to have similar thoughts.
Therefore, it is not an accident that Kerwin has become the object of everyone's spurning and cursing, but a kind of suppression of the challenger by the original vested interests.
However, it is a pity that the hard power of this challenger is too strong that they dare not easily use force, and only stop at verbal condemnation, and the more daring ones at most secretly support the resistance group and create a little chaos.
In addition, no one dares to really stimulate the sensitive nerves of the tyrant, otherwise it will be himself who is unlucky.
But the funny thing is that when the news reached the kingdom, instead of panicking like those so-called "important ministers", Vilia couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha! He's scared! He's afraid of me!"
"Afraid?" a court nobleman subconsciously frowned.
He didn't have to ask, he didn't understand why the queen on the throne was laughing, and why he thought that the damned traitor was afraid.
"That's right!" Vilia nodded confidently. "Kirwin is not the kind of guy who would choose to ally himself with another careerist when he has the upper hand. On the contrary, his humble origins have led to a precarious foundation, and no one will be allowed to reach into his territory, let alone marry, unless he has to. The lion of Oros is no ordinary monarch, but anyone who is not an idiot can feel his strong desire to become the overlord of the continent. ”
"Your Majesty, I need to remind you that if these two men marry, then it is possible that our neighbors will all turn their attitudes into hostility, and they will be left alone, both strategically and diplomatically. The nobles of the court said in a solemn tone the outcome they were most worried about.
After all, in his impression, the confrontation between countries before was essentially a combination of military power and diplomacy.
Although the military power of the kingdom is unusually strong, even a little unbelievable, if diplomacy becomes passive, it will inevitably lead to a siege.
But Villea didn't show a worried expression, just replied nonchalantly, "Alone? No, you don't understand at all, it's them who are alone." ”
"I don't understand what you mean......" The eyes of the court nobles were full of doubts and puzzles.
Not only him, but almost everyone in the hall had the same reaction.
"Don't ask if you don't understand! That would make you look stupid! Remember, do what you have to do, make important decisions, or let the queen do it herself." Isolt reprimanded him mercilessly.
"You ......"
The nobles of the court were choked and their faces were flushed, but when they thought of the powerful magical power possessed by the old man in front of them, they finally did not say the insulting words in the second half of the sentence.
But just because he is restrained does not mean that the other side will also be restrained.
Isolt stood up and walked down the steps, a glimmer of imperceptible glint in her eyes.
Next second!
The nobles of the court felt a strong sense of oppression that could not be described in words, as if they were being targeted by a terrifying dragon, and the whole person suddenly fell to his knees with a thud, trembling uncontrollably all over his body, and screaming loudly: "Ahh
"Hmph, what a cowardly idiot! Your Majesty, I think you should have a different advisor. A contemptuous smile appeared on the old man's face.
"Damn, how dare you use magic on a nobleman in this sacred place?!"
Seeing that his colleague was humiliated, another man immediately stepped forward and tried to preserve the dignity and pride of the nobility.
Since the new queen ascended the throne, their status and power have deteriorated day by day, and now only the right to provide advice is left, and the dissatisfaction and resentment in their hearts have long been about to boil.
If it weren't for the loss of the army that relied on the most, I am afraid that a rebellion would have been set off long ago, and the original old king would have been put on the throne and restored to the ideal state of co-governance between the royal family and the great nobles.
Of course, this approach can only stay in the mind at present, and no one dares to actually put it into action.
And even if they had such intentions, the old king would not agree, especially now that the kingdom is thriving, and has begun to reverse its disadvantages and enter the stage of history with a new attitude.
"Magic? Why do you say I used magic? What about the evidence? False accusation is not a small crime, and I even have good reason to invite you to a duel. Isolt said meaningfully and threateningly.
He wasn't joking, but he wanted to really teach these nobles a lesson, so that they could understand that times have changed, that they are no longer swallowed slowly as before, and that it often takes generations to climb to a high position.
On the contrary, in this era of drastic change, as long as there is talent, it will soon be appreciated and promoted.
Take the current kingdom as an example, in the war that broke out not long ago, a large number of civilian officers were promoted from the grassroots level, and those noble children who lacked mixed qualifications and abilities were brutally eliminated, causing many families to lose face.
It won't be long before these officers will squeeze the living space of the aristocracy little by little, so as to achieve the goal of completing the centralization of power and completely controlling the entire country.
Vilia had read the book on how to centralize power and how to transform a country into a military empire, so she did not stop the old man from humiliating the nobles, and he held his chin in one hand and admired the show with great interest.
In contrast, the nobles in the hall all felt a strong chill.
They are not fools and understand how unfavorable their current situation is, and they understand that this loss of power will become more and more serious as the queen reigns longer and longer.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere began to get weird.
Although no second nobleman spoke, they all stood behind the nobles of the court, including the duke.
It is clear that a sudden court conflict broke out at this special moment......
