Heroes of Silver Moon

Chapter 488: : business

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Milos of our Blue Kingdom admires Princess Irina of your country very much.

Moreover, our Crown Prince is the only heir to the royal family. If Princess Irina can marry into the Blue Kingdom, she must be the queen of the Blue Kingdom in the future.

The Silver Moon Kingdom is a peninsula country, and nearly half of its borders are adjacent to the sea. However, your country's navy is weak and unable to defend against the intrusion of the sea tribe.

As we all know, our Blue Kingdom has always been a powerful country at sea, if Princess Irina becomes our queen, it will definitely help your country solve this problem. "The envoy from the Blue Kingdom persuaded earnestly.

The old king tilted his head slightly, propped his head with his right hand, rubbed his forehead with his index and middle fingers, and rubbed his temple with his thumb, but there was no reaction to this.

This somewhat embarrassed the envoy from the Blue Kingdom. He felt that his analysis was in place. Given the current situation of the Silver Moon Kingdom, the best choice is to marry them. This is beneficial to both parties, but why is this His Majesty indifferent? ?

The envoy from the Principality of Love was relieved to see this. Although there have been marriages for generations, the name of the Blue Kingdom is too deterrent. After all, it has always been the second most powerful country in mankind, and their analysis is also very tempting. force.

Therefore, he originally did not report any hope for this marriage proposal, but now it seems that His Majesty of the Silver Moon Kingdom still has some concerns in his heart.

That is to say, maybe you can still fight for it!

"Your Majesty!" the envoy of the Principality of Love said, "Silver Moon and the Principality of Love have been related by marriage for generations, and the Principality of Love has always been a staunch ally of the Kingdom of Silvermoon. Now our Grand Duchess Isis is your daughter. , the former Silver Moon Princess.

Now, the Grand Duchess is old, and if you say something disrespectful, she may return to heaven one day. We need a stronger bond to maintain the relationship between in-laws! "

The words are not explained, but the meaning is obvious. The influence of the marriage of the previous generation is almost dissipating now. The two parties need a new marriage to continue to maintain the alliance.

The old king was still unresponsive, but he secretly looked at the envoy of the Principality of Love, revealing a trace of disgust.

Seventy years ago, after years of fighting against the Red Scorpion Khanate, the Silver Moon Kingdom was already impoverished and weak, and the people were in dire straits. The country he took over was a complete mess.

Yinyue is the kingdom, and Luofu is the principality. In the matter of marriage, Yinyue, who is stronger in the country, has always taken the initiative.

But for that marriage, the Principality of Love took advantage of the fire and put forward various unreasonable conditions. In order to let Yinyue recover relatively stably, he had no choice but to accept it and married his young daughter Isis.

However, from the letters exchanged between the two parties, the old king learned that his young daughter who married in the past seemed to be living an unsatisfactory life.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and the in-law's family is not strong. Of course, the married princess can only swallow her anger.

but! There was a gleam in the old king's eyes.

After 70 years of peaceful development, the Silver Moon Kingdom has not only regained its vitality, but even improved its strength.

Under such circumstances, the Principality of Love actually dared to have the cheek to propose to Irina, the eldest daughter of the future king of Silver Moon. Is it really easy to bully the Silver Moon Kingdom?

We needed your support back then, that's why we swallowed our anger and sent a pampered princess to suffer.

Now that we are strong, your friendship seems to be nothing!

Seeing that the old king was still uninterested, the two envoys in the study frowned.

Selling a daughter is a business, especially in the nobles, not to mention the royal family, they only think about how to sell the princess for a higher price.

After all, born in the royal family, while enjoying the glory and wealth, he must sacrifice for the interests of the royal family.

To be honest, choosing the Blue Kingdom now can solve the problem of Silver Moon’s lack of strength on the sea. As a peninsula country with a long coastline, once this problem is solved, the Silver Moon Kingdom will definitely usher in a new round of rapid development, and the benefits obtained are quite cost-effective. .

And choosing the Duchy of Love, although the cost performance is slightly lower, but it can stabilize the situation in the interior of the Silver Moon Kingdom, which is not bad.

But now these two choices dissatisfy His Majesty of the Silver Moon Kingdom, who is so old that he is on the verge of corruption.

There are only two possibilities. First, the old king has too much appetite and greed. Second, His Majesty has a better card in his hand!

In the minds of the two envoys, the second item could be directly vetoed, because the Azure Kingdom is the second most powerful human country, and if there is a better choice, it must be the Holy Empire.

Will the Holy Empire, which is the giant of the main continent, take a fancy to this Silver Moon Kingdom, which is only one and a half provinces away?

Obviously impossible!

Even the Blue Kingdom, which is the second most powerful country but whose actual national strength is far lower than that of the Holy Empire, has only a few princesses who have married the royal family in thousands of years, and they are not even the heirs of the royal family, just ordinary princes.

There is only one possibility, the two messengers secretly exchanged a look.

This His Majesty's appetite is too great, and he is a little confused about his position.

That's right, the Silver Moon Kingdom has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, and its national strength has also increased day by day, but this does not mean that they have the ability to go to the next level.

There is only one and a half provinces, and the current situation is almost the limit of the Silver Moon Kingdom, and the national power cannot grow without limit.

Under such circumstances, as long as the king has a slight view of the overall situation, he can see that only by marrying with other countries, or simply launching a war, can the country be further transformed.

The risk of war is very high. Back then, the Silver Moon Kingdom was dragged into a protracted war by the Red Scorpion Khanate. The families of both sides were almost wiped out. For decades, they have been silently licking their wounds.

This also created a spectacle. Although it is a human and orc country bordering on the border, the two countries have a blood feud, but they are peaceful and peaceful, maintaining peace for more than 70 years.

This is a miracle created by pain. When both sides have licked their wounds, the war will come again!

Having been in power for more than 70 years, even when the national power has fully recovered, there has been no war again. It is obvious that His Majesty's ruling philosophy has never been his first choice to use war to solve problems.

The rest seems to be only marriage.

But the problem is that His Majesty's appetite is too great, and they can't satisfy it at all.

"Da da da!" There was a knock on the door, disturbing the thoughts of the three people in the study. After getting permission, Crown Prince Yona opened the door and came in. He first glanced at the two envoys with a strange expression, then walked to the old king and whispered A few words.

"Really!" The old king, who had always been prudent, had his eyes wide open at this moment, and his calm face finally smiled for the first time.

"It's really early, it's not as good as a coincidence!" Glancing at the two envoys, the old king looked a little strange, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "You two, don't mind if I deal with a government matter first! "

Anger ignited in their hearts, and the two envoys felt that they had been insulted. How could they handle government affairs by themselves when receiving envoys from other countries!

Considering the national strength of the Silver Moon Kingdom and the marriage that might not have failed, the two of them didn't explode on the spot, but said with a cold face: "Hmph, since His Majesty is busy with government affairs, we'd better go back and wait, and meet again in a few days Your Majesty!"

After speaking, the two turned around and left.

The old king smiled, stopped the two of them, and said, "Let's just listen aside! The government affairs I want to deal with are directly related to Irina's marriage."

The two envoys froze, retracted their petty temper, and silently returned to their previous positions.

After getting permission, Deborah opened the door and came in. The scene in the study was swept away. Although he was a little curious about the two strangers, he tactfully did not ask. He knelt down in front of the old king and kissed the old king gently. outstretched right hand.

"Your Majesty, I am here to report the territory to you under the order of my lord, Simon Pioneer," Deborah said respectfully.

"Well, good boy, get up." For this young collateral member of the royal family, the old king also expressed his kindness as much as possible.

Because Deborah is not only the great-grandson of Grand Duke Gaseppe, but also the only bachelor around Simon. According to this kid's ability to be a monster, Deborah's future is definitely not bad.

Deborah stood up calmly, put the documents that had been prepared before the old king respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the map of the new French territory. The scope of the territory, military facilities, and distribution of troops have all been marked on it."

Picking up the map casually, the old king savored it carefully first, and then asked, "New law? Does this new law have any special meaning?"

Deborah nodded and said, "Master Simon will implement a new law and system in the territory, so it is called the new law."

"New law? New system? What's the content?" The old king frowned and asked, this kid always does things like this.

As a king, he knows very well what the new law and the new system mean. If the new legal territory is not a newly opened territory and has no conservative forces, he will definitely persuade this kid to give up this idiotic idea.

The risk of change is very high. Bloodshed and death are trivial matters. The most feared thing is a rebellion launched by conservative forces.

Didn't the original Blue Kingdom be attacked by domestic lords because the king wanted to reform the law, abolish the enfeoffment system, and establish a centralized state?

Until now, the Bilan royal family, as losers, is still in a state of failure.

People always say that the strength of the Blue Kingdom has been declining in recent years, but in fact, it is not the strength of the Blue Kingdom that is declining, but that the Blue Royal Family is constantly weakening.

One ebbs and another, if the lords of the Blue Kingdom unite, then the Blue Kingdom will still be the second most powerful human country.

The failure of the reforms in the Blue Kingdom shocked all human countries, and they all feared the reforms. Countries that had such thoughts before also threw them into the stinking ditch.

Under such circumstances, Simon actually wanted to do the opposite and create a new law with great fanfare. The old king really didn't understand what this kid was thinking.

Hearing the new law and the new system, the envoy from the Blue Kingdom trembled, lowered his head and remained silent, but quietly pricked up his ears.

The rebellion that spread to the whole country made Belan people feel fearful when they heard the words of reform and new law, especially since he was still representing the royal family who was a loser, and he was even more secretive about this aspect.

But as a failure of the reform, he also wanted to hear what the other people's new law looked like.

Deborah didn't give him this opportunity, shook his head and smiled wryly: "He didn't say anything specifically, he is probably still thinking about it!"

The old king nodded knowingly, unfolded the map to observe, and the envoy from the Blue Kingdom also put down his pricked ears.

It is still being conceived, which means that the new law may not come out!

Looking at the map, the old king's face gradually turned livid. This **** is so brave, he has encircled such a large territory in one go. I really think he is a fool. He would recognize such a giant who may change the situation of the entire kingdom. Overlord private collar?

Suppressing his anger, the old king rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked as calmly as possible: "How big is this territory estimated?"

Although there is a map, the scale is still too rough. Apart from being able to see that the area is really large, he really can't calculate the specific area.

Deborah rubbed her hands nervously, and replied with some lack of confidence and anxiety: "There are about twenty-five towns that are suitable for people's lives, and most of them are plains and hills; there are about fifteen cities that are not suitable for people's lives. The size of the town is basically full of continuous mountains.”

Forty towns! On the side, the envoy of the Principality of Love felt that his breathing was almost stagnant. He knew very well what this meant. The Principality of Love was only about a hundred or so towns in size, which was half the size of the Principality.

And the most important thing is, this is still a private territory developed by the pioneering lord, coupled with the new laws and new systems mentioned above, is this to establish a country within a country?

What's the difference between directly provoking the royal family? That's not how you do it!

The old king was almost laughed at. Where did this kid have the confidence to think that the royal family would pass this territory report based on his relationship with a royal princess?

This is obviously not enough!

Tapping the desk with his fingers, the old king's eyes revealed a cold light, which made the hearts of the three people including the crown prince tense, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became chilly.

This is a king, a king who has suppressed all the forces in the country for three generations, and for three generations, no family can please him.

The king will naturally let him get what he deserves, and even if he has already got what he shouldn't have, this man-eating tiger can make you spit it out!

"Tell me! What kind of plan does that kid have?" The old king asked with a normal expression.

Deborah showed embarrassment, and replied bravely: "He only said that after the royal family inspects the territory, they will naturally approve the report."

Opening up a territory is not something that can be recognized by the royal family by just showing a map to the royal family. It must be ensured that the territory is indeed under the control of the pioneering lord.

All kinds of information must be reported first, and the royal family will send people to check to see if the actual situation is consistent with the reported information. In the end, there will be a three-year assessment period~www.readwn.com~ After the assessment period, the territory still exists, and then it will be Really canonized by the royal family.

It is so complicated, the main thing is to prevent these pioneering lords from enclosing land in name, and to see if this lord has the determination and strength to guard this land.

It can't be just after the canonization is completed, the territory will be destroyed by the enemy in the next second! If this happens, how embarrassing the royal family will be!

"Check the territory..." The old king supported the desk with his hands, lost in thought and consideration.

Although Simon is young, he is the most vigilant player in the game. Those idiot lords in the kingdom are not at the same level as this kid. To play against this kid, he has to score 12 points Come on spirit.

"Grandfather, let me go!" Just as the old king was hesitating, Crown Prince Yona stood up.

The old king narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at his heir, sighed in his heart, and finally nodded helplessly.

As the king, he didn't want Simon to get this territory, but what, the father-in-law wanted to make his daughter happy. What can he do for a bad old man who has not lived for a few years?

"Don't let me down, Jona, you are the next king of Silvermoon Kingdom." The old king said meaningfully.

Crown Prince Yona nodded with a serious face, and left the study with Deborah, who had a sore face. The old king and the two envoys were left in the room again.

The old king spread his hands helplessly, and said: "The people's calculations are powerful, you have no chance, choose another marriage partner! There are a few girls in the royal family who are not bad, I can adopt them under the name, and give them the status of princess and corresponding marriage. Treatment, do you want to think about it?"

The two envoys were stunned at first, and then looked at each other, not understanding what happened.
