Chapter 65: Crazy Abigail
Against, there is no change to the ending.
Joshua also knew that his influence had long since been greatly reduced, and now the city lords still listened to their opinions, out of respect. And when they find out that their choices will make their lives miserable, he will also consume the last of his prestige.
Now, with Bartlett not present and the angels taking their stand, the Terran ministers were all on Joyce's side. With the Marquis of Stanley's Jiading City, Joyce already has the support of two of the most powerful cities.
Abigail sat down in a huff, she certainly wouldn't approve of Joyce's claim to be king.
All that was left were the five cities, led by Joshua.
Joshua said, "The Count of Daliang has arranged it so well this time that I find that I have no power to oppose it at all. But...... Joyce can be king, within my acceptability. The first king has always cultivated her as a queen, and she has the courage and ability to lead. I believe that Shangjiang, under the leadership of Joyce and the administration of Earl Daliang, has been able to regain our former glory.
I, Joshua, Lord and Duke of Chongming City, support Joyce's claim to be king. ”
Joshua showed his attitude, and the other cities announced their support for Joyce one by one.
Everything fell into place, and in the end, Abigail was left alone.
In fact, when Da Liang announced that he would elect Joyce as king, Abigail knew that she had failed, she knew Da Liang's ability, and when she came to Shangjiang for a meeting, the outcome was already decided.
She was just angry, she trusted Da Liang so much that she even appointed him as the consul of Songjiang City, but he still pushed himself off the throne without hesitation.
All the future has become illusory.
Abigail calmed down and asked Joyce, "If I oppose you as king, will you kill me here?" ”
Joyce replied dryly, "No! And I would like to declare that from now on, as long as the Imperial Council is convened, the royal family will never kill any of the ministers who come to the meeting, and will not endanger the property of the ministers.
Any contradiction can be boldly discussed at the Imperial Council. ”
"Hahaha......" Abigail laughed nervously, and said, "I finally know why Count Daliang chose to support you, you are indeed more like a king than anyone else." Well, Matsue Castle supported Joyce as king, and ......
To give you peace of mind, I will take care of your troubles...... Help you get rid of it. ”
With that, Abigail pulled out a dagger and plunged it into his abdomen before everyone could react.
She killed her own and Howard's children, and the last drop of royal blood was gone.
No one can threaten Joyce's royal power in the name of this child, and Joyce will not secretly cut down Matsue and Abigail because he is afraid of this child's existence.
Of course...... These are all speculations by Abigail, the Black Elf Masters and Mothers are always in a sense of crisis, and they can sacrifice anyone, including their own children, in order to maintain their rights and rule.
Monica was abandoned by Abigail in this way, and now there is another victim.
But is that really how the aftermath is gone?
Da Liang knows Abigail very well. After she occupied Songjiang, she has been trying to integrate into the mainstream society, dividing the nobles and even reusing male black elves, and actively participating in Shangjiang political affairs. Although she didn't do very well, she really changed herself little by little. Including her use of Howard's children to compete for the throne, she is also abiding by the rules of mainstream society.
If Abigail gives birth to the child and uses the child to make small moves, keep his eyes on the throne. Under the rules of mainstream society, she won't achieve much of a climate.
But Abigail, in full view of everyone, kills himself and Howard's children.
This also shows that although Abigail pays lip service to Joyce's claim to be king, in fact she has seen through the essence. Under the rules of mainstream society, she can't play with anyone in this room. Therefore, she revealed the true nature of the main mother, broke with the rules of mainstream society, and returned to the rules of the black elves.
At this time, killing Abigail, and then taking the opportunity to drive the black elves away in Songjiang City is undoubtedly the most correct choice.
But Joyce has promised not to kill anyone at the Imperial Council, this is her new policy to become the new king, not only conducive to stabilizing the hearts of the current city lords, but also to encounter any contradictions in the future, these city lords will also dare to come to Shangjiang City to resolve the contradictions through negotiations.
Therefore Abigail, can not be killed.
If you can let the tiger return to the mountain, there will be trouble.
However, now that supporting Joyce as king is the most important thing, Da Liang no longer thinks about anything else, maybe it's just his own heart.
Now, regardless of how many city lords willingly supported Joyce, Joyce had been approved by the ruling hierarchy to claim that all the conditions for the king had been met, and that it was a peaceful settlement.
The next meeting was to discuss the date of Joyce's official accession to the throne and the arrangement of the ceremony, and to inform all the nobles and commoners in the eight cities to which Uee belonged that "Joyce had been made the crown prince" and to announce it to the world.
Shangjiang is about to usher in a new king of the East China Sea.
One initiative after another was worked out at the meeting. When the meeting ended, Shangjiang City's finance department immediately raised funds for the renovation of roads between the eight cities; The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce also sent personnel to various cities to investigate the scale of production of their goods, and directly paid to pull away all the goods in stock in each city.
Seeing the money in earnest, the city lords were very happy, and the interests gradually tied Shangjiang City and the subordinate deputy cities together.
The only exception is Matsue Castle.
Upon his return to Matsue Castle, Abigail immediately closed most of the underground roads to the surface, cutting off communication with the surface city. Refuse to enter the Shuntong Chamber of Commerce and refuse to build roads.
Matsue Castle was almost completely enclosed underground.
At the same time, Abigail also canceled all of Da Liang's positions and privileges in Songjiang City, and even the city teleportation was closed to him, and Da Liang became the most unwelcome person in Matsue City.
After the closure of Matsue City, Abigail abolished the aristocratic class, and then used the butcher's knife against all the black elf tribes who moved to Matsue City. She killed the hostesses of these Black Elf tribes and incorporated their armies.
She then ordered the army to march deep underground, robbing and enslaving all the creatures they encountered.
Killing and plundering, the black elves, who are full of violence in their bones, enjoy the dividends brought to them by their strength. They break free from the rules of the mainstream world and show their savage nature in their own way.
Constant victories and a growing army have made Abigail's position unshakable.
I should have done this a long time ago!
