Good-looking, not allowed to farm

Full of patriotism and serving the country, the three good friends called on like-minded friends around them to sign the petition together.

Among them, the bearded playwright looks vicious, but he has a very good personality. Therefore, when calling, he will seriously and patiently explain the purpose of doing so to everyone: "There is nothing wrong with the review system itself. But blind banning is not advisable. Some articles that try to make this country better should not be banned casually."

"It's like "The Life of a Commoner" written by Mr. Mad Hatter. At first glance, it seems a bit cruel and tragic, and it also makes people aware of the bad side of society. But only by being aware of the darkness can we change the darkness. Isn't this calling on everyone Rise up and work hard to improve all this?"

In comparison, the young aristocrat with curly hair is more straightforward.

He is innocent, enthusiastic, and has the courage of young people who are not afraid of all difficulties and dangers. Therefore, when he called, he shouted extremely provocatively: "We must be free! Thoughts should not be imprisoned, but should be liberated! The king If he doesn't know the truth, he was concealed and deceived by those nobles, as citizens, we have the obligation to expose all this and tell His Majesty the truth and truth!"

Compared with these two, the cold-faced man from a noble family is probably the only reliable one.

He has been very low-key from beginning to end, and when giving advice, his tone is flat: "Most of this petition will return without success, but as my friend said, some things have to be started. So , No matter whether it is useful or not, let’s try it first, if you hold the same point of view as us, then, why not come and sign your name.”

In the end, a total of 230 five people's names appeared on the petition.

Some of them, like these three friends, believe that the review system should be appropriately relaxed;

The other part is the relatives and friends of these three friends, who signed their names out of the simple idea of ​​doing relatives and friends a favor;

There are also a small number of people who are purely herd mentality. When they see that people around them have signed, they will follow suit.This behavior is like participating in group activities and not wanting to be alone.

So about two weeks later.

The petition was sent to the court of King Richard.

At that time, Lord Dressel was reporting to King Richard on some problems in this year's financial revenue and expenditure.

Although he is a little old-fashioned, but he is really loyal and loyal to the finance minister, he is very worried about the current economic situation of the country.

Just because the government is in debt.

The country's finances have reached an extremely dire state.

In contrast, the amount of wealth privately held by a small number of nobles has reached an unheard of level.

Moreover, these people continue to make money by squeezing and exploiting...

In this way, the resources and wealth of an entire country are concentrated in the hands of a few.

However, these few people don't care about the country. They only know how to squander money and enjoy themselves, but they never think about making even a little contribution to the country and the people.

The rest still care about this country...

Courtiers like Lord Dressel, because of their rigid thinking, can't see the root of the problem at all, and can't think of any good solutions.

Therefore, the old man over half a century old could only dismiss King Richard's idea of ​​"building a racecourse, going out hunting, decorating a palace, building a big park" and other ideas that cost money one by one, trying to rely on frugality. , so that the negative number on the account will not be too large to be terrible.

He is kind.

But in King Richard's opinion, this bad old man who always stops him from spending money is really annoying.

The government is in debt, he knows it.

But that's the extent of knowing.

Besides...

He wasn't the only one responsible for this debt.

Counting up three generations, did the kings of that generation have any debts?

But at the end of their tossing, isn't the country still in good shape?

Therefore, King Richard did not think there was any problem with this.

I just feel that some courtiers have been alarmist to the extreme all day long, and the country can't bear it at every turn, and the society is unstable at every turn...

Who is this threatening?

Maybe!

Maybe something will go wrong one day in the future.

But after I die, who cares about the flood?

A happy day is a day.

It can't be so unlucky...

Just when he was king, something happened to the country, right?

For this reason.

His Majesty the King is only looking for pleasure and does not want to discuss political affairs.

But on this day, because Master Dressel repeatedly refuted his ideas, his inner emotions were extremely unhappy!

But King Richard is not a simple type who is happy and angry, thinking that he still needs this old man, and wants him to help him balance the court from time to time, so even if he is unhappy, he doesn't directly express anything on his face .

It's just that, in order to divert some boring topics about finances; and to cover up that he is the majestic lord of a country, his request for spending money was not met!

He casually picked up the petition on the table, opened it casually, and read it.

After turning over two or three pages, a gloomy look appeared on his face.

Because, for those three friends...

This letter of invitation is euphemistic, sincere, and full of ambition to serve the country.

However, as far as King Richard is concerned, this petition has only one meaning from beginning to end

That is—Your Majesty, you should follow our advice.

Even if he knew, there was no malice in this petition.

It's nothing more than young people's passion for a while...

On weekdays, he doesn't like it.

But most of them don't pay attention to anything.

But it was refuted by Master Dressel just now...

His Majesty the King, who was not in a good mood, was determined not to choose to forgive so easily.

So, he interrupted Mr. Dressel's narration about finances, threw the petition to him, and asked him to take someone to arrest all those who had signed the petition.

Lord Dressel was stunned for a long time before replying: "If Your Majesty gives the order, I will naturally obey it. However, this is a bit exaggerated and hasty, should all the more than 200 people be arrested? Do you want to send someone to investigate first? The culprit..."

King Richard looked him straight in the eye and said coldly, "Who's going to ask your opinion? I mean, arrest them all."

He knew Lord Dressel didn't want to do it.

For one thing, this lord doesn't usually work as a part-time arrester, and his major is wrong;

Secondly, after reading the petition, Master Dressel felt that these young people were too frivolous, dared to openly and recklessly talk about the policies promulgated by the court, and were suspected of directing the king to do things, but generally speaking, the crime is not enough to go to prison, just Just ignore it, there is no need to arrest them seriously.

But only because Lord Dressel made His Majesty the King very unhappy...

The king just pretended not to see his reluctance.

In other words, the more reluctant he is, the more His Majesty wants him to take on this job as revenge!

Things have come to this, there is no other way.

Lord Dressel had no choice but to agree.

Supporting his old and frail body, with a gloomy face, he led a team of policemen, facing the fearful eyes of others, and diligently arrested people all over the street.

By the time the sun went down, those 230 five people who signed the petition were effectively arrested 210 seven people.

The remaining eighteen people...

Some are not in the royal city by chance;

Some were well-informed and hid in advance.

It is worth mentioning that not all three main sponsors of the petition were arrested.

Both the curly-haired young man from a minor nobleman and the cold-faced man from a great nobleman escaped unharmed luckily.

That cold-faced man has a good family background, so he is well-informed.

Moreover, he had predicted that the petition would fail before, but he did not expect such serious consequences.But after all, he knew it well, and with a clear head, after getting the news, he ran away without hesitation.

As for the former, it's all about luck!

He was not there when the police came to arrest him.

This curly-haired youth is a character who loves to make friends very much.

When he was free on weekdays, he would often go out to visit relatives and friends, so before the police came to arrest him, he was visiting a new friend outside and escaped by accident.

Only the bearded playwright was unlucky.

He usually works in the theater, so he can't go anywhere during working hours. When the police arrived, he was taken away by the police.

These are not mentioned for now.

Just talk about the 210 seven people who were arrested.

King Richard's stubborn temper broke out, and he took advantage of the problem and gave instructions to deal with it strictly.

Therefore, these people were not even interrogated, and were directly thrown into the prison.

Jamie only found out about it after it happened.

Moreover, because King Richard threw the petition to Lord Dressel, he was able to see the contents of the petition from his cheap father.

As said before.

There is nothing wrong with this petition, which is actually written with the utmost sincerity.

The only fault is naivety.

The people who wrote the petition not only directly pointed out the king's mistakes, but also published a series of suggestions for the king to change.

Is King Richard a humble monarch?

Today, there is no longer any doubt.

The 210 seven people in the prison presumably are the best answer to this question!

More than 200 people were all imprisoned

Jamie could hardly believe the result.

This made him couldn't help but recall George back then, who had been released after serving his sentence, but was thrown back into prison for an extremely absurd charge.

"Damn! When will the law be fair and authoritative enough?"

Jamie resented this in the depths of his heart: "Depending on one's own preferences, one can arbitrarily convict and imprison people. When will such a day be a boss?"

Being stimulated by this...

He wrote vigorously, scribbling passionately for two hours.
