The Sun King's Evidence

"Are you planning to visit Ulthuan again?" Sulia immediately realized something. The queen said with some resentment, "You want to leave your home to me again? You are very happy."

"It's not an expedition this time. It's just a trip at most. It's not that troublesome." Ryan knew that Sulia was very dissatisfied with him fighting outside all day long. He said warmly: "It's very fast to take the clipper back and forth. And this matter is still being planned, it won’t happen so soon.”

"...Anyway, remember to tell me when the time comes." Sulia pursed her lips somewhat unhappily and nodded reluctantly. No matter how strong and smart the queen was, she was still willing to spend more time with her husband.

"Ryan, who are you going to take?" Morgiana also asked casually. The Lake God Witch actually wanted to sit next to Ryan.

"Let's talk about it then." Ryan did not reveal any more information: "I don't know what the situation is now. We will discuss what to do after Brother Fulgen comes back."

"Yeah." This topic was over, and Lidya Su and Morgiana didn't pursue the question any further. Everything was just an intention for the time being.

"Also, regarding matters in Marienburg, His Majesty High King Thorgrin said that he will send a formal letter of credence to the empire to put pressure on the empire." Ryan then talked about the second thing: "We It is not good to directly bring trouble to Marienburg. In any case, Marienburg is a free city of the empire, and its territorial sovereignty is owned by the empire. If we rashly deploy troops on the border, on the one hand, we will tear up the alliance and create tension, and secondly, it will also cause domestic problems. A major blow to trade."

Sulia and Morgiana both nodded at this point. Although Marienburg is controlled by business princes, it is precisely because of this that the empire and Britannia, including the southern countries and even Kislev, regard it as freedom. As a trade zone, Marienburg enjoys freedom of trade due to its unique neutrality, which is particularly important for trade in the old world.

After all, whether it is the empire or Britannia, soldiers are essentially in control of the country. Of course there is no problem for soldiers to fight, but when it comes to doing business, the original intention is good, but business is not the strong point of military aristocrats, and it is easy to form Privileges, distracting the military, weakening combat effectiveness, disrupting social order and breeding corruption. The empire, especially Emperor Karl-Franz, has a large financial income every year from Marienburg's trade tariffs and "protection fees". This is also one of the important reasons why the emperor was able to maintain a large and elite army.

Furthermore, Ryan also feels that one thing is right. It is not unreasonable that the military is not allowed to engage in business. As for what it will look like in the long run, everyone knows it, so I won’t say more here.

As for Belia, it was a special situation. This guy technically put himself in the position of a bureaucrat. However, Kislev's situation was special. The tsarina had her own national conditions, so Ryan gave him the exclusive right to sell goods.

It was unclear when Belega would be able to send a mustache to help trouble Marienburg, so this matter had to be suppressed for the time being.

The three people chatted in the car for a while, and the carriage gradually approached the Chalon Forest. Unlike before, there were already many sentries, forest farms, and lumber mills built in the forest. Now there are many in the outer area of ​​the Chalon Forest. The village was within the actual control of the lord. The unicorn Sylphan obviously preferred the forest. Even Morgiana looked much happier when she smelled the breeze blowing through the window.

"Small backpack~swaying~my mother pushed me down the stilt building while laughing~" There was faint singing from outside. It was the singing of the immigrants from Musilon. The recovery of Musilon made many locals, especially the free People went to Mousilon in search of opportunities, but there were also many locals in Mousillon who chose to leave the land that once caused them so much pain and came to the Earl of Glamorgan to look for opportunities, especially swampmen and baby wives. After the swampiness of Mousilon has faded, they must change their way of survival.

"Lian, why did you go to see Teresa and Ms. Aurora this time? Why didn't you tell her directly at that time?" Sulia leaned into Ryan's arms and let Ryan's big hands touch her beautiful black stockings and beautiful legs. Wiping his feet: "You want to make a special trip?"

"Yes." Morgiana also nodded: "Ryan, you have so many things to do, why do you spend a whole day going to the Ice Wizard Tower?"

"It's mainly two things." Ryan nodded, and he said softly: "The first thing is to see how Teresa's Ice Wizard Tower is operating now. Some things are always better to confirm in person, and the same goes for the number of people. So does scale.”

"Yes, we must check carefully to see if these witches are doing anything strange inside! Conducting impermissible research!" As soon as she mentioned this, Morgiana became excited, and she said dissatisfiedly: "I I once asked to go in for inspection, but the person in charge of your MI7 made it clear that this was the power you gave her to refuse my entry. Ryan, how could you give her so much power casually?"

"I did the same to Veronica." Ryan hugged Sulia and complained: "What wizards need most in practice is concentration and a quiet environment. Morgiana, if anyone dares to disturb you while you are meditating, what would you do?"

"That's different." Morgiana was slightly weaker after what Ryan said, but she still insisted: "Lian, Ms. Aurora is still the female elder of the Gloria Council, not like Veronica. Basically independent from the parliament, we have reason to doubt her loyalty, she is not worthy of our trust at the moment, and like I said, you should not entrust her with such an important matter of intelligence."

"Morgiana..." Ryan thought to himself, I can't leave everything to you two. No matter what, you are both from the Lilith faction, but the king certainly couldn't say that. He shook his head. : "Aurora has no other shortcomings except that she likes ostentation, luxurious life enjoyment, and some vanity. Her magic power is powerful and special. It does not belong to the Eight Winds system, so it has a surprising effect. Furthermore, she His intelligence capabilities are excellent.”

"Morgiana is right, Ryan. She is still unwilling to integrate into our system. I can hardly order her." Sulia's heart moved, and she followed Ryan's words and said: "Occasionally I want her to Help, she always carries you out and says this is what you want. Teresa is easier to talk to, but since Ms. Aurora came, she has obviously become the person in charge of the Ice Wizard Tower."

"Yes, that's right, this is the second question today." Ryan said with a wry smile: "I will come to Ms. Aurora today specifically to ask her to express her position."

"State your stance?" Morgiana said angrily, with displeasure on her beautiful, shining oval face: "It's best to arrest her and put her in jail. I think she will be willing to express her stance."

"Ryan, what attitude do you want her to express?" Lidya Su asked.

"I want to know if she has thought about it?" Ryan did not answer Morgiana's words. He nodded towards Sulia: "Whether she plans to officially join my command and work for me, I have mentioned it twice before. This time, she has been procrastinating, and she has been procrastinating since the year before last. I think it is best to ask clearly this time. If she is not willing, then let Teresa take charge. She cannot take up a lot of resources and gain a lot of my finances. While appropriating funds, it must also be an important function of the Gloria Council."

"Well, this is the right thing to do, Ryan, I support you." Sulia nodded. The queen was so happy that she couldn't help but have a passionate kiss with Ryan in the carriage. Of course, Ryan accepted the order.

After chatting for a while, Sulia talked about another thing. Lane's queen complained about her husband's recent decision: "Ryan, although the decision you proposed to cancel the privileges of knights and nobles is very good, you should have talked to me before. Let me tell you, there are many former aristocratic ladies and former aristocratic ladies in my territory who have come to plead for mercy, and I am not the same even if I see them, and I am not the same if I don’t see them. This is very difficult to handle."

Ryan chuckled after hearing this.

He had previously stipulated the abolition of the privileges of knights and nobles, that is, if a knights and nobles family failed to provide knights for the kingdom or provide enough knights to serve for four generations, they would be deprived of their noble titles and confiscated their fiefs, and they would be reduced to freemen. There is a generation to save ourselves.

Since this regulation was passed, more than 500 knight families in the Kingdom of Knights have had their titles revoked and their fiefs confiscated. About a hundred of them have quickly sent their children to serve or sent their children away to avoid becoming civilians. Become a knight's apprentice, knight's retinue or wandering knight here to ensure that you can continue to be a noble.

But there are still about 400 knight families who cannot provide a qualified knight or enough knight followers. They have had their titles and fiefs confiscated and become free citizens. Most of them are women and children. After thinking for a long time, they decided to petition collectively. Begging the king to give them a way out.

Ryan did not see these people, and Morgiana said that it was not her business. As a result, Sulia had to step forward. Faced with tears and constant low-pitched begging, many former nobles who were orphans and widowed, Sulia was also very conflicted. There is no doubt that her husband's decision is to eliminate the bad and retain the good. The nobles who are incompetent and unable to contribute and strength to the kingdom are indeed unworthy of continuing to occupy a large amount of social resources. As a queen, she certainly supports her husband.

However, the complicated network of continuous marriages between nobles, coupled with the sense of moral guilt, including many distant relatives of the Sulia family, made the female knight feel very anxious about this.

After listening to Sulia's complaints, Ryan also had a headache. His decree undoubtedly touched the core interests of the knights and nobles. However, the king's lofty prestige beyond imagination and the power of the victory in the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition made the nobles unwilling to It's easy to object, and more importantly, as the initiator of the decree, Ryan personally led the army and fought on the front line in person, with countless military exploits. The nobles could not say anything like "you go ahead, go ahead", so this The decree was passed.

If Ryan had not won a series of military victories, killed Egil, eliminated the great wizard Heinrich Kemmler of the Sanctuary of the Dead, killed the "Venomous Serpent Mathhubard" and recovered Mousilon, which had been lost for hundreds of years. , won the Eight Peaks Mountain Expedition, reformed the kingdom's system, and enjoyed great contributions to the kingdom. The king's great deeds left all the nobles in the kingdom speechless. It is hard to say whether this decree can be implemented and how long it can last.

It is very difficult to take the cake out of the mouths of the vested interests, let alone those who rule the kingdom. Although Ryan has completed the suppression of the knights and nobles, he also has to protect their interests.

Do you really think that once you become the king, you can come and go as you please?

The timeless classic quote is back again.

Your Majesty, do you want to rebel?

Ryan knew that this was also a problem that had to be solved. He thought about what to do. Sulia saw this and said nothing more. She and Morgiana chatted about topics between women, including various fashion trends, outfits and clothes. Jewelry, as well as a lot of palace secrets and some interesting gossip.

With Sulia's encouragement and active invitation, the Lake God Witch secretly sat next to Ryan and shrank into Ryan's arms. Ryan simply held her in his lap and chatted together. Morgiana leaned against Ryan a little shyly. , feel the very comfortable soft touch and cool feeling of Wolford pantyhose.

She secretly regretted that she actually believed Veronica's lies. The Witch of Gloria said that Ryan would definitely like you like this. Now Morgiana is particularly afraid of being known by Sulia. She suspects that if she does this, she will immediately lose the courage to live. , she will never be able to raise her head in front of Lidya Su.

Accompanied by two beauties, the three-hour journey passed quickly.

As the road extended, the Ice Wizard Tower appeared in front of the carriage.

What surprised Ryan and others was that Teresa, who usually lived in seclusion all day long and was locked up in the wizard tower to do research, was actually standing at the door, directing the witch apprentices to move things.

"What are you doing?"
