And every commoner dreams of becoming a noble.
Therefore, the words of these nobles actually won the approval of a small number of common people.
It's just that they agree with each other. These civilians will not openly support the nobles. The Flame Empire gave them ten acres of land and gave them magic beans. They will not go against the Flame Empire. They will not be happy!
See, this is the basis of faith.
The original god of the Zijin Empire has almost no basis of belief among the common people, so he can only rely on the nobles!
"It works well."
In the crowd, a nobleman said to the nobleman in green who came up with this strategy.
The aristocratic man in green nodded.
"I heard that the Queen of the Fire Empire is two women. Can a woman be a good emperor? Let's see how she ends up later."
The nobleman in green said disdainfully.
At this time, strong magic fluctuations came from the sky, and everyone felt great pressure.
"Are you planning to use force to overwhelm others? Interesting, if you dare to do this, you are playing into our hands."
The noble man in green said.
But the fluctuation of magic power disappeared in a flash, and then, a dozen figures appeared on the high platform in the middle of the square.
The one in the middle, with a green veil on her face and a graceful figure, is the girl Mengying.
One of the queens of the Fire Empire!
"Your Majesty, what crime did Archduke Bonin commit, and why was he executed without trial? This is not in line with the law or tradition!"
Immediately after Mengying arrived, a gray-haired old Duke stood up and said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter how serious the crime that Archduke Charles committed, he should be tried in public, and all the marquis and earls will vote to decide whether he should be executed. This is the tradition of all countries. Nobility is the cornerstone of a country. We We have no intention of going against the empire, and we have not participated in the rebellion, but we want an explanation!"
Another old Duke stood up.
After the two Dukes stood up, other nobles also spoke one after another.
"Come one by one."
At this time, a female officer said loudly.
Seeing that Mengying seemed to be ready to listen to them, these nobles all lined up consciously, kept expressing their opinions, and wanted an explanation.
Some nobles even hope that the Flame Empire will legislate to protect the rights of the nobles.
Mengying stood there, listening quietly.
After two full hours, Mengying pressed her hand gently.
Suddenly, all the nobles became quiet.
"The rights of the nobles should indeed be guaranteed."
Mengying spoke.
"Hey, she actually gave in? But this shows that the Fire Empire is afraid. Just wait. Once she gives in, these greedy nobles will soon have even more excessive demands."
Among the nobles, the noble in blue whispered.
All the nobles raised their heads and looked at Mengying.
Mengying finally spoke again: "So, I drafted a bill, herald, and read it to them."
"yes!"
A female officer took a piece of paper from Mengying's hand.
All the nobles looked at her eagerly.
Then, the female officer spoke:
"Nobility is the cornerstone of a country. The more nobles there are, the more prosperous the country is. Therefore, in order to increase the number of nobles, this order is issued: From now on, the titles of the nobles will still be hereditary, but the territories and titles of the nobles should be given to all their heirs. , regardless of whether it is the eldest son, the second son, or the second son, all have the right to obtain the territory... "
The female officer was only halfway through her words when the expressions of all the nobles present changed.
Because what she was reading was none other than Lin Yan's famous grace order before he traveled through time.
Tweeting orders are the nemesis of all princes.
But here, it is the nemesis of all nobles!
The reason why aristocrats can be strong and prosperous from generation to generation is due to the eldest son inheritance system. The wealth and territory are concentrated in the hands of one person for generations without any dispersion.
But the decree of grace directly gave all descendants of a nobleman the right to inherit.
Mengying even went one step further and broke up the title of a nobleman and inherited it.
For example, a duke's title is divided into multiple marquis titles, and a marquis title is divided into multiple earl titles.
Once the wealth and title are separated, and once a big noble dies, his family will be quickly split into several medium nobles, and these medium nobles will be split into a large number of small nobles.
As a result, a noble family will fall apart in a few years.
"Your Majesty, this bill must never be implemented!"
Before the female officer had finished reading, all the nobles below were in panic. They had long forgotten to ask Mengying for an explanation. They all knelt down and begged Mengying to take back the decree.
Mengying remained unmoved and signaled the female officer to continue reading.
It wasn't until all the nobles were sweating profusely that Mengying said calmly:
"It's just a backup bill. If anything evil happens again in the Zijin Empire, this bill will become a reality. Now tell me, who first suggested that you come out to cause trouble?"
All the nobles below heard Mengying's words and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's him."
At this time, a nobleman pointed out the viscount next to the nobleman in green.
The nobleman in green quietly moved aside, far away from the viscount.
"I, I didn't, I just..."
The viscount was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck thickened.
He was only halfway through his words when he realized that he was in mid-air, and then... a ball of flame surrounded him.
The viscount didn't even let out a scream before he turned into ashes and fell from the sky.
"Probably didn't notice me."
The nobleman in green hid behind a nobleman.
At this time, he suddenly felt an invisible force coming, and the next moment, he and more than twenty people floated into the sky at the same time.
The Tsing Yi noble was horrified.
He subconsciously looked at Mengying and saw Mengying glance at him with a faint gaze, and then he saw Mengying wave her hand.
Like shooing away a few flies.
Fire burst out of his body.
In less than a second, the noble in blue and the other twenty or so nobles who had not been caught were completely reduced to ashes.
At the last moment of his life, the Tsing Yi noble realized what kind of terrifying existence he was going to fight against.
If he was given another chance, he would definitely not be bewitched by the original god of the Zijin Empire.
Unfortunately, nothing happens if it happens.
Although they hid well, if they whispered in a sacred area, no matter how low their voice was, they couldn't hide it from Meng Ying at all.
"That's it. From today on, there will be another evil incident in the Zijin Empire. On the second day of the evil incident, this bill will be implemented. It's up to you."
After Mengying finished speaking, she flew away from the square.
After Mengying left, thousands of nobles in the square looked at each other.
They still have lingering fears.
It was the contents of the grace order that frightened them so much.
And if the Flame Empire insists on implementing the order of grace, they have no good solution.
In fact, in their family, except for the eldest son, they would welcome the grace order with both hands.
In the land of gods, there is a saying: the eldest son of a noble is the son.
The second son, the second son, the daughter...not to mention the title, they won't get any property.
But the order of grace will make the second son, second son, daughter... all become loyal supporters of the Fire Empire.
"I suggest that we patrol with armed soldiers. If anyone is still bewitched by the old gods, don't blame me for being rude."
A Duke said coldly.
"Yes, I arm a thousand soldiers and are responsible for the security of the cities around my territory."
Another noble said.
"I am also armed with a thousand..."
Under the threat of the order of grace, these nobles voluntarily organized armed warriors to maintain law and order for the Flame Empire, and also reported some nobles who might have been bewitched by the original gods of the Zijin Empire.
