Lord of Lowland

Chapter 365 Abolishing the Acting Official
As soon as the two mentioned the prince, there was a moment of silence. Although they had only met this prince a few times, he played a very important role in their lives. Especially for Collins, some of them were undoubtedly Deep hatred and resentment.The prince was directly and inseparably responsible for the massacre of his family by the High Priest Clifford.Although Collins knew that he might never have a chance of revenge in his life, he still looked resentful when he thought of this matter.

At this moment, the guard told Cecil that Prince Rex had something to do with him, and Collins hurriedly ended the conversation with Cecil and told his disciple to go quickly.Cecil immediately came to the place where Prince Rex lived under the leadership of the guards. Now the eldest prince has officially entered the palace, but he did not enter the original palace of the king. After all, the death of the king is a blow to him. It's not small either, although Prince Rex has won, the kingdom is already riddled with holes.

Cecil quickly led the guards to the place where Prince Rex lived. Duke Fatam, Grand Knight Osmond and others had already gathered in the prince's dormitory. The ten people in this small circle They are all high-ranking and powerful people. In comparison, Cecil's fiefdom and title are simply not worth looking at.It was only because of his special status as a destiny knight that he was allowed to join this circle.Of course, one of the important reasons was that he broke the deadlock in the battle just now and allowed the eldest prince to win.

Prince Rex didn't say anything when he saw Cecil coming here, but just nodded his head, and Cecil consciously stood at the last place.The discussion at this meeting was very simple, that is how to stabilize the regime just obtained. Prince Rex obtained the regime by means of a coup and rebellion. In front of Prince X is a mess full of holes.

The first thing that Prince Rex needs to solve is the problem of acting officials in various places. The acting officials in various places benefit from the king's direct system and have always been directly managed by King Hareton. King Hareton almost controlled most of the taxation and money in the kingdom. If he didn't control this piece of money in his own hands and let the system go against him, then Rex, the so-called successful man, would be unable to move a single step.

Duke Fatam lost no time in putting forward his opinion, that is, let Prince Rex fulfill his promise immediately.Cancel the agency system, let all powerful nobles return to their own fiefdoms, and let the nobles directly manage their own territories. This is also the promise that Prince Rex made to everyone when he was not in power, and it is also what most nobles can do. reasons to support him.

Although the proxy system created by the king is very powerful politically, its force is very weak. Only when they are combined with the power of the king directly under the central government can they have the power to fight against the nobles. In fact, the proxy system in various places does not have strong force. Civilian, once Prince Rex releases these wolf-like nobles, the deputy officials who have lost the support of the king's system can only face the fate of being replaced by these nobles who have hated them deeply, not to mention Not all acting officials will resist nobles, after all, acting officials are recommended by the nobles themselves.

But Prince Rex was hesitant. In fact, he really didn't want to take this step.As a prince, he can naturally write any checks and make any promises. In order to seize power at all costs, it is the easiest thing to betroth something you don't have to others. But now Prince Rex's identity is different. He has already taken the throne. In the position of one's own father, once a person changes his position, his mentality will naturally be different.He also knows that the Daiguan system is of great benefit to him in controlling the resources and money of the entire kingdom. If the land is really handed over to those nobles, then he will lose the right to control and claim the land across the country. , his authority will be greatly reduced, so Prince Rex is not willing to take this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

The Duke of Fatham saw the reluctance in Prince Rex's heart, and he said to the prince: "The generation system is already a cancer in front of you, prince, and your relationship with King Hareton has prevented you from being like the kings of the past. You have successfully put the acting officials in various places in your own hands, and the entire system has stood against you. Now you have to use the power you rely on to attack the power that opposes you, so as to consolidate and stabilize your rights.

Although the words of Duke Fatam were very respectful, even Cecil could understand the meaning of them. That is to say, although the system of acting officials is a power controlled by the king, but for you, the king, because of your relationship with the old king, So you are standing on the opposite side of the old king, and you are relying on our nobles, which is the most important reason why you were able to win the coup. Even the defection of the three knight orders is because the officers in their army are nobles The reason for the children.Now that you are successful, everyone is expecting you to deliver on your promises.If you don't keep your promise, then many nobles will turn against you, and you will easily collapse if your foundation is unstable.

Even a rookie like Cecil can hear this kind of implicit threat. How can Prince Rex not know that the Duke of Fatam is the confidant of Rex's confidant, if even he has this attitude, Once he fails to fulfill his promise, how many people will be left in his camp to support him?I'm afraid that I will really become a loner by then. Can I bear the consequences?Prince Rex became more and more frightened as he thought about it.Finally a difficult decision had to be made.

"I announce the abolition of all the proxy system in the kingdom. All the land owned by the nobles will be handled by the lord himself. From today on, the lord can freely leave the king's capital to go to his own fief, and fully manage his own land and vegetable farms!" Once the decision was made, Prince Rex was also very happy, and he spoke firmly.

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of the dozen or so people below were all overjoyed. These people were all great nobles, and each of them owned a territory that even exceeded a province, especially the Duke of Fatam, whose territory spanned three rows. Province, absolutely beat the lord, if this order cannot be issued, it is great news for all the nobles of the Soloran Kingdom, and even changed the governance structure of the entire kingdom.
