The Sun King's Evidence

good news? Ryan frowned slightly, thinking about what good news the Lake Fairy could tell him.

Sulia also set her sights on the fairy in the lake. The female knight had been getting along with the goddess for a long time, and she could already feel that the goddess's emotions were a bit complicated, but she was generally happy about it.

"Yes." The happy mood of the Lake Fairy only lasted for a short while. The expression on her face fluctuated slightly, as if she was sighing, as if she was helpless. The goddess flew around the room, removing the iris on her body. After the fragrance of flowers filled the bedroom in the afternoon, he slowly said: "Leonasse has agreed."

"Agreed?" Ryan repeated this sentence. He stretched out his hand and gently pressed Sulia's shoulder, indicating that his wife did not need to get up.

Duke Mousilon thought about it for a moment and immediately understood something.

The air conditioner in the house was on, and Ryan was standing in front of the window. He held his chin: "Whose decision is this? Dalhaide?"

"It's Baron Adehad. He will soon become the Duke of Lyonnais." The fairy in the lake sighed. The goddess spun around in the air and sat next to Sulia instead. The goddess' tone contained With inexplicable emotions: "After many searches, the Duke of Lyonnaise's family decided that they could no longer wait, and they decided to support Dalheid's nephew and Aldreeld's cousin, Baron Adehad. With Richard's permission, Baron Adehad is about to be proclaimed Duke of Lyonnais. This is a knight of the kingdom who is about fifty years old. He recently held a meeting at the Castle of Lyonnais to discuss the matters related to the original Mu Xi. The issue of Long’s old collar.”

Ryan nodded. He stood in front of the window, thinking about a series of things. Duke Mousilon raised his head and suddenly smiled: "Ah, madam, Sulia, you said that once this resolution is passed, the nobles of the kingdom will What do you think of me? A despicable thief who couldn't wait to feast on the corpse of the Duke just after his death?"

"Lian, don't talk about yourself like that. This is a valid reason." Sulia sat on the bedside. Due to her physical condition, the female knight could not get up. She could only comfort Ryan warmly: "At present, what do you think about Mu Xi?" Long’s old territory has legitimate claims, and so does Leonese, so if you follow the rules to get this territory back, then Leonese will also act within the framework, and you don’t have to worry about anyone accusing you.”

"Ha~" Ryan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He shrugged, with a calm expression on his face: "So, my lady, what conditions does Adehad offer?"

"Assist in suppressing the rebellion, enough food for three months to accommodate part of the population, and a sum of money." The fairy in the lake said simply: "A sum of money that is enough, Baron Adehad's expectation for this is, 10,000 Five thousand gold crowns.”

The first two were agreed upon, and Ryan didn't say much. But when he heard that Adehad actually wanted fifteen thousand gold crowns, the Duke's expression changed.

"Fifteen thousand gold crowns? Huh!" Ryan's face was cold, with a strong sense of ridicule in his tone: "If you have the ability, just keep the land. Does Adehad think he is very capable? If so. If I don’t give it, he doesn’t have to cede the old territory of Mousilon? What does he think he can do? Let Lyonnais return to its glory days of nearly 10,000 knights?!”

"Ryan!" Lidya Su wanted to laugh a little after hearing her husband's words. Her tone was a little bit angry: "Don't talk so sinisterly, it will scare the children!"

"I'm sorry, madam!" Ryan hurriedly sat in front of the bed, gently held the female knight's little hand, and expressed his apology. The Duke was gentle and considerate to him, but his graceful wife really had no choice, so he quickly apologized.

The fairy in the lake was sitting on the bed. She was a little happy and a little unhappy when she saw that the relationship between Ryan and his wife was so good. She stretched out her hand and pinched Ryan's face: "Adehad also had no choice but to do this. The choice is not surprising, am I right? My champion?"

"What a helpless fart!" Ryan sneered, and he immediately stood up: "Baron Adehad knows very well that since he can't keep it, he might as well use this as a blackmail to ask for more things and want to take out a piece of it from me. The big sum of money is just to make up for his bottomless financial abyss. I understand that he is eager for money, but fifteen thousand gold crowns?"

"...But that's Sirruf's Leonese, Ryan." The Lake Fairy didn't blame Ryan after hearing this. The goddess was neither happy nor sad. She seemed to be recalling something: "Sirruf and Landu Because, a sad elegy of fate, you are the one who inherited Landuin’s will and last wish, Lion Macado.”

Ryan's eyes condensed, and the Duke's eyes suddenly changed from mocking to sad. He sighed deeply: "Yes, I am the one who inherited Landuin's will. Before Landuin completely disappeared, he always remembered the last thing. It’s the matter between him and Sirruf. From this point alone, I can’t push Leon Nasai too hard.”

At this point, Ryan laughed again, and he said with a smile: "Actually, Adehad is very smart. At this time, if he was a fool, he must have shouted that this part of Musilon's old leader is Leona I am an inseparable part of Lyonnais and will never cede or accept my demands, but Adehad is a sensible person. He knows too well what he needs most as the new Duke of Lyonnais, and Lyonnais What are the key issues?”

Silence fell in the room.

Ryan was speechless, the fairy in the lake seemed to be remembering something.

After a long time, someone decided to speak.

"Shake the baggage." Sulia finally spoke. The female knight gently signaled that she wanted to get up. The fairy in the lake immediately supported her. The female knight said softly: "This is a baggage, a heavy baggage. In this era , everyone must move forward with a heavy burden, but Lyonnais's burden is too heavy, it is too heavy, Baron Adehad knows that his best way is to refuse to take over the position of Duke. "

"But he accepted it." The expression of the fairy in the lake became more and more sad: "No mortal is a stone without emotion. Personal interests are one thing, and the interests of the principality are another. Adehad stood up. , he knew that he had to be cautious and carefully take over this heavy duke's position. This duke's title is like an extremely fragile piece of glass. If he is not careful at all, Lyonnais will break into pieces before he takes over. "

"Therefore, he must unload as much baggage as possible." Sulia held out her belly. The female knight was wearing a loose white silk dress. She slowly came to Ryan's side, and a warm smile appeared on the female knight's face. , said seriously: "Mu Xilong's old collar is one of the heavy burdens. At this time, if someone wants this burden, just give it to him! By the way, let's see what we can get."

Ryan sighed and nodded. Even though she was pregnant, even if she stayed in the Fairy Tower in the Lake for a long time to raise her fetus, Sulia's political wisdom and political sensitivity were still outstanding. It could even be said that the entire There are few duchess in the kingdom who possess her intelligence.

Why is it said that Musilon's old territory is a heavy burden that Adehad must get rid of?

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly. Ryan looks at it directly from three aspects.

In terms of economy, judging from the current situation of the Principality of Lyonnasay, those places cannot collect even a penny of taxes. Not only will the old territory of Mousilon not bring help to the Principality of Lyonnasay, which is in serious trouble, Instead, a large amount of food relief is needed.

The same applies to the military. How many registered knights are there in Lyonnais? Less than eight hundred! These knights can barely protect the Lyonnais Castle and its surrounding areas, but what is the situation in the principality now? Rebellion is everywhere! The serfs raised a rebellion and took over the mountain as king, and Norscan pirates attacked the coast sporadically, but Lyonnais had no soldiers! No food! If the burden of the south of Lyonnais is thrown away now, the knights of the principality can concentrate all their energy on deploying defenses to the north. In addition, Ryan will send troops, and the military pressure will be conservatively reduced by 60%.

As for the issue of nobles, there is no need to say more. After the battle of Curona, all the former Musilon nobles in the old territory of Musilon in the entire south of Lyonnaise have long been loyal to Ryan. As Landuin's The successors, the claimants of Duke Mousilon's orthodox legal principles and the people who restored Mousilon, if they don't loyal to Ryan, who else can they loyal to?

Now those castles have all erected the Mousilon coat of arms with black fleurs-de-lis on a yellow background.

What else could Adehad do?

"This is people's hearts! This is people's hope!" Sulia said to Ryan with some pride: "Lian, Adehad knows that even if Mu Silon's old leader is left behind, he will not be able to harvest a grain of food. If you can’t get a copper coin and can’t mobilize a knight, then what’s the use of keeping it?”

This is her man. Today, Ryan is proudly standing at the top of the Knight Kingdom!

"So... fifteen thousand gold crowns." Ryan nodded. He thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "This is addition and subtraction. This burden is thrown over and I have to catch it. Then he reduces the burden. This is Doing subtraction. I also have to give him compensation, including sending troops, including supporting food, and a large amount of cash. This is doing addition. Adehad is such a smart man. I also have to agree because I want this piece. Land, the richness of this land has been proven countless times.”

"Before the Great Depression, Mu Xilong was known as the Land of Thousand Lakes." The fairy in the lake smiled and said: "The richest land is that land. As long as you manage it well for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover more profits. of."

"Okay, let Adehad send someone." Ryan finally nodded and said seriously: "Everything must be discussed before we talk about it. Money is not that easy to get!"

After all, he was going to cut off nearly half of the territory from Lyonnais, and there was still a need for due compensation. However, Ryan also knew that agreeing so easily could easily lead to him being taken for granted, and due negotiations were still necessary.

Ryan pulled up a chair and gently picked up Lidya Su and sat down together. He put his arm around his wife's waist and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to think about so many things. Your most important task recently is to take care of yourself." Take good care of yourself.”

"Lian~ What are you doing! The lady is still here!" Sulia's face immediately turned red after being held on her knees, and she said angrily: "Don't be like this."

"Sulia is pregnant now, Ryan, you have to be careful!" Sure enough, the fairy in the lake also took the opportunity to attack Ryan. The goddess stretched out her fist and hit Ryan on the shoulder: "Don't do bad things!"

"Hehehe~" Ryan had a wry smile on his face. He gently hugged Sulia and let her lean on his chest, but he was thinking about his power in his heart.

Now, he is the Duke of Mousilon, he controls an entire principality, and in a few years he will become the king.

Being able to achieve this point within ten years is inseparable from his political marriage with Sulia.

Before her marriage, Lane was considered an outsider.

By marrying Sulia, Ryan took advantage of the situation to complete the "localization" of his regime. Now, no Brittanian thinks that he is an outsider.

At this time, an heir is extremely important to his regime, which means that his regime has continuity. Even if Ryan explodes on the spot and spirals into the sky, his regime will not collapse. The knights under his command will not collapse. Will immediately support the child in Sulia's belly as the next leader.

This is called the stability and continuity of political power.

In Ryan's previous life, he had read the story of Yong'an Tuogu, and he was deeply moved at that time.

But now, after truly becoming a duke and establishing his own power, Ryan went back and thought, in that case, on the premise that there is more than one legitimate heir, is it possible to support the country?

The answer is, no! Can! able!

But looking back, Ryan also knows that the internal affairs system he established still has many problems, including inefficient manor management, low cohesion and low mobilization under the feudal system, and the current strong combat effectiveness and extremely high The cohesion is achieved by Ryan's rising personal prestige and his unparalleled personal bravery, as well as his glorious victories one after another.

What would this regime be like if Ryan himself was taken away?

Eastern Han Dynasty model.

What is the Eastern Han Dynasty model?

Relatives are in power.

Therefore, judging from this alone, it is impossible for Ryan to divorce Sulia. If he wants a divorce, the knights under his command will not agree, his subjects will not agree, and the nobles of the Knight Kingdom will not agree. The Fairy in the Lake If he doesn't agree, his brothers won't agree, and even the Emperor himself won't agree!

Judging from this point alone, this is another big game played by his father! The Emperor has seen all this clearly earlier than Ryan. He will personally meet Surya and give her the title of "Imperial Princess". A very important part of it is to tell Ryan that under any circumstances, you cannot consider it. divorce!

"Ryan?"

Fortunately, Sulia is a real good match for Ryan. The female knight and he get along well with each other inside and outside. They have a good relationship and have a child. Ryan has no idea of ​​divorce at all.

But that doesn't mean Lane doesn't need to change.

Holding his pregnant wife in his arms, Ryan thought quietly that he would take advantage of this opportunity, the development of the new land of Musilon and the arrival of a large wave of Musilon nobles, to start his own plan.

"Ryan? Ryan?" Sulia keenly felt the changes in Ryan's mood. The female knight said warmly: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about how to develop and rebuild the land in Mussillon in the future after acquiring it." Ryan came back to his senses. He smiled at the female knight and said, "Sulia, you said I would take over the city of Mussillon." How about transforming it into an urban belt composed of commerce and industry?”

"Of course!" Sulia immediately agreed. The female knight never objected to her husband's major decisions: "It just so happens that there is a white land now. We can do whatever we want. Now build an industrial zone and carry out Innovation is the best time!”

"Hehehe~" Ryan felt warm in his heart, and he hugged Lidya Su tightly: "Thank you, Lidya Su, I feel that I can no longer leave you."

"Lian~" The light of wisdom flashed through Sulia's sea-blue eyes. The female knight leaned on Ryan's shoulder, her face full of happiness: "I don't want to leave you either."

The couple's show of affection finally made the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore. The fairy in the lake stood up angrily: "That's enough for you two! Okay, don't get tired of being together. It's tea time, let's go together Go to the garden to enjoy the shade and enjoy afternoon tea! Lidya Su also needs to exercise appropriately! "

"Um!"

At the same time, the old world, the empire, the Reikland, the imperial capital Brunswick, and the imperial palace.

Imperial Emperor Karl Franz, Marshal Reik Kurt Heilberg, Emperor's Flag Officer Ludwig Schwartzhammer, Archbishop of the Church of Justice Vikmar the Resolute, and Great Alchemist Belsa The most powerful people in the empire, including Ze Geert, Griffin Duke Ivan Ferdinand, and White Wolf Elector Boris Todbringer, were meeting together.

And the protagonist they are talking about is Ryan Malcador, who has completed the mission of recovering Mousilon, became the new Duke of Mousilon, and is about to become the King of Knights!
