Succubus' Manor

The Flanders became smarter. Instead of attacking the city, they waged psychological warfare. It may also be because their reinforcements finally arrived, and they had the confidence to fight the Holy City.

The tactic of besieging the city depends on which side has better psychological endurance and stronger endurance.

If Benson's army could have arrived earlier, the queen might not be in a hurry, but the problem is that they cannot leave the city in such weather, and there is no way to know where Benson's army has gone and whether they have encountered any danger. When can I arrive.

If it was only the siege of Ferlando, there is no need to panic too early. There is actually a lot of food in the holy city. Months or even half a year, if the whole people live frugally, a year will not be a problem.

But the biggest problem has erupted——

"Why are they?!" The young man stood on the wooden table and roared, "How can they have enough to eat? Can they live in a safe house?! And we don't even have a warm piece of clothing!"

"Is it because they were born nobles?!"

"Now the Flanders are surrounding the holy city, are they going to starve us to death?! Don't we poor people deserve to live?!"

They cannot find a job, cannot leave the holy city, have no house, no property, and are at the bottom of society.

But when people at the bottom unite, it is also a force not to be underestimated.

Wright stood under the stage and echoed with a loud voice: "Yes! Why! We call them adults and masters, do they treat us as human beings?!"

The man was still yelling: "Think about your parents! Think about your children! Are you going to watch them starve to death and freeze to death?!"

The poor were furious, and with all the weapons they could find in their hands-stones, sticks, they gathered together, and they wanted to fight for their lives.

The few remaining guards in the holy city didn't even dare to stop them. The soldiers and most of the guards went to stop the Flanders, and the holy city couldn't spare any more manpower.

They hid in the corner and watched helplessly as the group of people walked towards the palace.

"...What should we do?" The young guard asked, he swallowed, still feeling terrified when he remembered the scene just now.

The elders said: "Let's pretend we didn't see it, go home, pretend we don't know anything."

Young guard: "We are guards after all..."

The elder sighed: "Then go and stop them. When they step on your body and leave, I will carry your body back and give it to your mother and wife."

The young guard kept his mouth shut.

The poor people were mighty, and the sound of their footsteps was deafening. They didn't encounter any obstacles, and they walked to the gate of the palace so easily.

They shouted outside the door: "We want to work!!"

"We want to eat!!"

"We want clothes!!"

……

"You are the queen!! You are the king! Why do you ignore us!!"

"Aren't we your people?! Aren't we!!"

The Queen sat in her room, and she tried to cover her ears, but even covering her ears did not stop the voices.

They are her people!

She knows this better than anyone else, and she also wants her people to have enough food and clothing, and to live a full life, but she can't do it!

She faced her own incompetence, but she was still powerless.

The ministers came up with ideas, such as calling thousands of soldiers back and asking them to arrest or disperse the rioting civilians.

But the problem is, with so many people, they can't be locked up. Even if they are locked up, what about the food?Do so many people care about them?Or let them starve to death?Things aren't tense enough right now?

disperse?Dispersing in the morning, coming back in the afternoon, back and forth, can't solve any problems at all.

What's more, their soldiers were already fewer than Flando's soldiers, and if thousands of people were called back, who would be responsible if something went wrong?

Even Juster failed to give the queen a good idea this time, so the people in the palace could only listen to the scolding outside the palace every day.

Poor people seem to have endless energy. They come every day, morning, noon and night. At first, they just scold.

Now the conflict between the two sides finally broke out.

"Rush in!"

"There are clothes in the palace! There is food!"

"Why can they!"

"Why!!"

The poor seem to have found a glimmer of light. They rushed in desperately, and it seemed that if they rushed in, they won. In the future, they will never be hungry again, and they will never be homeless again. Palace, their lives will be rewritten.

The servants were beaten to the point of bleeding, and some poor people fell to the ground.

The servants in the palace closed the door in horror, but the young man kicked it open.

—they rushed in.

There were screams, roars, and the sound of fighting in the palace. Although the poor did not have sharp weapons, they were more numerous. Because they had no way out, they were not afraid of death.

Anyway, leaving is death, why not fight?Were they born to die?

Under the cover of her cronies, the Queen is going to escape through the small gate, and as soon as she gets out safely, she will call the soldiers, and she will kill them!

She wanted to kill all of these mobs who dared to break into the palace!

"Your Majesty! Get out!" The maid opened the door. She knelt on the ground and looked at the queen anxiously.

The queen gritted her teeth, and when she was about to leave, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the person behind her.

She turned her head and saw a face that surprised her, but not so much.

Just stood behind her, smiled and said to her, "Where does Your Majesty want to go? The people who come to you are all the people, don't you want to have a few words with them?"

The queen's hair was disheveled and her clothes were disheveled. She stared, but quickly regained her composure, because there were more than a dozen extremely ugly people standing behind Juster.

She knew these people, these ugly people were brought by Chi Yan, she had seen them before, and heard people say it, but she didn't take these people seriously at the time, she only thought that Chi Yan had some special hobbies.

But now, these people, who were hard to hide in the first place, appeared in the castle so quietly.

She even saw blood on some people's hands and mouths.

The queen straightened her collar, and she still maintained her aristocratic demeanor, and asked Juster calmly, "Is Chi Yan here?"

Just shook his head: "Your Excellency will not come today, but if Her Majesty knows how to judge the situation, you may be able to see Your Excellency tonight."

The Queen sneered, "Okay."

The queen suddenly asked: "Just, am I not good enough for you? You are just a maid's pet. I bring you by my side and give you power and status. Even if I were Chi Yan, he would not be able to give you more. "

Just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, my lord can indeed give me more. You have never been to Stettin, so you don't know what Stettin was like and what it is like now. You only have St. city, but what adults are looking at is not a holy city."

The Queen smiled angrily: "Do you think he can do better than me? Has he ever managed a country? Does he know how difficult it is to manage a country?"

She has never had a channel to complain, and this time she finally spoke out in one breath without recognizing it.

"Those nobles, their ancestors have meritorious service, so they think they don't have to listen to the royal family. The royal family? The king? How powerful is it? The only thing they can manage is the holy city."

Just: "So, the royal family doesn't have to exist anymore."

The queen was taken aback.

Just didn't give her time to react, but turned and left with the demons.

As soon as he left, Wright came with the poor.

The poor surrounded the queen, they accused the queen of "crimes" and told their misery.

"Only Master Chi Yan will take care of us!"

"Let Lord Chi Yan be the king! If you don't care about us, you are not worthy to be the king!"

"Aren't these children, these old people, your people?!"

"Why are you king? Why?!"

"abdicate!"

"The queen abdicates!!"

The queen stood blankly in the crowd. She didn't know anyone here. They didn't know her before they broke in. They had never met, but their relationship was so inseparable. She was their king. They are her people, the queen is both angry and sad, the ministers are running away, hiding, the servants are overwhelmed, she is the queen of this country, but she is surrounded by a group of poor people who should never meet and speak in her life middle finger.

The more embarrassed she was, the more she forced herself to look up.

She is the king, she will not bow to anyone.

No one can.

"Your Majesty, abdicate." Juster reappeared in front of the Queen, and behind him were all the Queen's most favored ministers in the past.

These ministers have long been defeated by Chi Yan's sugar-coated bullets - they follow the queen, at most they have a place in the palace, but Chi Yan not only gave them a lot of wealth, but also made a promise that once he came to power, he would give The title of minister, give them a rich territory, and their descendants do not have to pay taxes to the holy city, they can dominate their territory.

What Chi Yan can give them is much more than what the queen can give.

What's more, they are "forcing the palace" peacefully, not fighting. If Chi Yan's side fails to develop smoothly, they can pretend that there is no such thing.

The risk is small, the reward is big, and it can be done.

The queen's throat was choked, and she looked at the group of people she lifted up with one hand, but couldn't even say a word.

The queen was taken away and locked up in her own room.

During this period, no one was able to report to the soldiers stationed on the city wall.

The poor were also taken away after the trouble was over—Wright was the absolute leader among the poor, and the poor listened to him very much.

Before leaving, Wright and Just looked at each other.

The two smiled together.

But when he turned his back, that smile disappeared without a trace.

Just clenched his fists.

One day, he will prove himself stronger than Wright.

----

Chi Yanzai also came to the queen's room that night. The queen changed into a solemn and complicated dress and combed her hair. She sat by the bed and stared intently at Chi Yan who walked into the room.

She never thought that she would come to this point.

"Did I do something wrong?" the Queen asked Chi Yan.

Chi Yan shook his head: "You did nothing wrong."

Queen: "Then why is my stupid brother allowed to sit on the throne until he dies?"

Chi Yan: "Because I didn't show up at that time."

The queen smiled: "Do you want to be a king? By the way, everyone wants to be a king and have supreme power, but only when you become a king will you know that there are shackles everywhere."

Chi Yan walked to the table and sat on the chair.

The two chatted like familiar friends.

"What do you want to do when you become king?" the queen asked him.

Chi Yan: "Take back the city, I don't need nobles."

The queen laughed at his naivety: "Without nobles, who will manage it for you?"

Chi Yan asked back: "There are nobles now, but are they managing your country?"

Queen: "Without the owner of the territory, the country will be in chaos and people will be displaced. That is the most terrible time."

Chi Yan: "I will select officials and replace the nobles. As for the original city stewards, I will continue to let them govern. After all, the common people are more familiar with them, but they will limit their power. The common people are not in charge of the nobles. Yes. For the common people, what is really related to their lives is the bottom management."

"It doesn't matter whether there are nobles or not, as long as the bottom-level stewards are still there, there will be no chaos."

The queen pursed her lips, and she asked again: "And then? What do you want to do?"

Chi Yan: "Open up wasteland and build roads, so that the poor have work and food to eat."

The queen grinned: "Nobles won't hand over power honestly."

Chi Yan: "I have an army. If I recruit again, I can have more than 20 soldiers. If they are obedient, I can leave them a house and a little property. If they are disobedient, I can just flatten them."

The queen was stunned - for her, nobles were her cornerstone, and they were also the object of her fear and reliance, and she never thought that she could treat them like this.

Queen: "What do you... want to make this country?"

Chi Yan thought for a while, and said seriously without adulteration: "I don't know where I will go, but I hope that all people who work hard to live can get what they deserve, and the poor don't have to sell their daughters. The rich cannot execute other people’s lives at will, officials must put the local people’s livelihood first, and they must take the well-being of the common people as their goal.”

The queen looked at Chi Yan, her voice trembling: "Then what are you going to do to me?"

"You have so many soldiers, why don't you just attack the holy city and let me make way?"

Chi Yan looked at her. She was neither stupid nor stupid. She was one of the few smart people in this era, but the era limited her vision, and her thinking was fixed.

That kind of great man whose thinking is beyond the times has not yet appeared, and even if he did, he would probably be regarded as a lunatic.

"Queen, I can promise that you will be the last duke. You will not be able to leave the holy city again in this life, nor will you have such a big castle and so many servants, but you will have no worries about food and clothing, as long as you don't kill people and set fires , Do things that violate the law, you can enjoy it for a lifetime." Chi Yan looked into her eyes seriously, "This is the promise I can make to you."

"But it also comes at a price."

"I need you to crown me." Chi Yan said.

Queen: "Why?"

Chi Yan sighed: "When two armies fight, people will always die, and your soldiers will only be mine in the end. I don't want to see my people die."

The Queen sneered: "Aren't they fighting the Flanders on the edge of the city now? Why don't you let your men help them?"

Chi Yan: "Your Majesty, I'm not a saint. I just don't want me to kill them. What's more, if you are crowned, I can hold the banner of justice."

Chi Yan smiled and said to her: "This is a deal. Since you have no chance of winning, I suggest you agree to this deal."

The Queen looked up at him: "Otherwise?"

Chi Yan: "I don't mind forging your suicide note."
