I Will Be The Crowned King

In the luxuriously decorated living room of the Imperial Embassy, ​​Bradley paced back and forth in front of the fireplace with his hands behind his back, asking the servants what was going on outside the door, and every time he got exactly the same result: "Whitehall Street police still The vigilance is being maintained, and people in the embassy cannot enter and exit normally at all."

This news, neither good nor bad, made the Imperial Ambassador even more anxious. A few minutes ago, he had just bribed a high-ranking police officer with a lot of money, and dug out a very important piece of information from the other party: The Storm Legion had entered City, and blocked the Osteria Palace!

As soon as he was assassinated, he immediately mobilized the army into the city, and even arrogantly surrounded the palace and the Privy Council... Ansen Bach's decisiveness and arrogance made Bradley gasp, and at the same time, he finally believed a certain gossip: the so-called army The alliance between the minister and the commander-in-chief of the colony is actually dominated by the lieutenant general.

In other words, Luther Franz actually supported his heir and... son-in-law at the same time? Let them compete with each other and win over the different forces of Clovis, so that no matter which side wins, the Franz family will be in power in the end?

But it doesn't make sense. Ludwig's idea is still understandable. He intends to use the name of the king to unite the upstarts and become a veritable dictator; Weicheng, wouldn't this weaken the kingship, what can he get?

Once the Lao Shizi National Assembly really succeeds, what is the use of Nicholas I, whom they worked so hard to support?

Or maybe the Franz family really intends... no, no way, this is already the 103rd year of the saint calendar, who would dare to usurp the country at this time...

etc! If it was Ansen Bach...if it was Ansen Bach who contributed to the unification of Han and Land, the collapse of the Kingdom of Iser, and the independence of the colonies... 亠

He, he might really be able to do it!

The more Bradley thought about it, the more he panicked. He even regretted why he agreed to the Holy See in the first place, why he coveted the position of ambassador, and didn't leave Clovis, a place of right and wrong as soon as possible? !

"You look nervous, Bradley?" A childish, slow and slightly teasing voice walked into the hall: "Why, I just left for a few minutes, and you miss me so much?"

This kind of untimely joke, even if it was His Majesty the Emperor himself, Bradley would have to reply and complain a few words based on his royal status, but at this time he was as if he had been pardoned, and he was so excited that he took three steps and made two steps , Kneeling directly in front of the other party:

"Makiya... No, respected Machiya, you are finally back!"

Rao was already emotionally overwhelmed, but he still remembered the "ancient tradition" that the other party specifically mentioned: for a truly noble person, the name itself is the title of the highest person, and adding a suffix would degrade it.

As one of the oldest families in the world of order, and a descendant of the bloodline of the dragon knight Herrid, Bradley has heard of this to some extent—just like the seven knights, descendants directly use their names as surnames, and even many scholars It is also believed that the surname itself originated from the concept of "descendant of the noble". the

"The Storm Legion has sealed off the Osteria Palace, and I heard that the Privy Council has seriously discussed the matter of the Citizens' Council... Most importantly, Anson Bach, he, he is likely..."

"Alive." Machiya took the words unhurriedly, with a faint smile on his face: "Yes, I know, in fact, I just chatted with him a few minutes ago, and he is more interesting than I imagined." people."

"Horse, Machia..."

"What's the matter, Bradley, why do you have this expression?"

Machiya walked past the kneeling imperial ambassador, gently patted his shoulder, and smiled into the frozen pupils that stopped abruptly because of shock: "You don't think that I will completely Obey the orders of the Holy See?"

"Or, do you think I'm...yours?"

"Must... work for you?"

This... Bradley opened his mouth, wanting to say something but dared not say it.

After witnessing with his own eyes, or experiencing the unfathomable and arbitrary power of the other party, he has completely surrendered to the other party, not daring to show any disrespect.

"...Machia, you are our protector, the lamp, the torch in the dark, you let us get what we want, you...of course you can do whatever you want."

"No matter what you do, you must love us."

His expression was extremely pious, and his slightly trembling words were accompanied by cold sweat on the back of his neck and temples, as if he was in awe, as if he was meeting a god.

Machia's eyes were kind, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly.

"Don't be so nervous, of course I'm on your side... Keeping promises is the most basic virtue." Machiya said softly: "But Bradley, you should also understand that just because I have to keep promises, I can't hurt you." Anyone including your enemy Ansen Bach."

"Yes, yes, we... We don't dare to bother you to do it yourself!" Bradley said hastily, with an expression of awe and a flattering smile, and his face became very distorted due to the entanglement:

"It's just that the first phase of the plan failed, and the Holy See refused to contact us. Many people were scattered in the city, and the Clovis people blocked the embassy and didn't allow us to go out at will. That's why I..."

"Of course! This is definitely not your fault. Rather, it is because of your help that the plan can go so smoothly, but our current situation is really dangerous. Ansen Bach is still alive! Once he is completely controlled The King and the Kingdom of Clovis, we are in danger!"

"Makiya! I...humble us, we really need your help right now!"

Not only verbally, but Bradley's expression became more and more humble, as humble as a believer praying to God.

"Bradley, my poor Bradley..."

Machia still smiled, gently raised the hand on the opponent's shoulder, and pressed the imperial ambassador's head; Bradley just hesitated, and quickly lowered his head in cooperation. the

"Human beings... are very weak and powerless creatures, but they have an extremely crazy and unimaginable heart; in their tiny bodies, there are huge wishes." Machia said softly: "Since it can't bear it, then I will appeal to my wishes. It is a matter of course for a truly powerful existence to realize it, and there is no need to have any worries."

"Unfortunately, this time I can't fulfill your wish...Because I keep my promise, I can't hurt any human beings, unless..."

"Except, unless?"

"Unless...he appears in front of me."

The fluffy words seemed to have a unique magical power, echoing in Bradley's mind and lingering for a long time.

…………

With the permission of the king himself, the imposing Ludwig returned to the Privy Council hall to announce the result in public, and asked the members to start discussions immediately and give a result as soon as possible. the

Not surprisingly, this immediately aroused the anger of the entire Privy Council: Even if you, Ludwig, are in power, your responsibility should be to submit the bills discussed by the Privy Council to His Majesty for review, and then take it back to the Privy Council for finalization. How can you Just discuss with His Majesty in private and directly order the Privy Council to do things?

Even if it’s the next best thing, now there is no sign of the bill at all, and you ask us to produce a result, without even giving us room for negotiation. Doesn’t it mean that we have to pass whatever you say—Private Council of 500 people , become the seal of your prime minister's administration? !

"Why, can you make a seal once, do you still feel wronged?" Ludwig was not polite at all, and replied sarcastically on the spot:

"Don't forget, it's not just the hundreds of thousands of Clovis city citizens who are full of anger now, but half of Clovis doesn't recognize the current Majesty, which means that the Privy Council, which is the executor of His Majesty's will, is also Not recognized by them!"

"At this critical moment, to put it bluntly, the legitimacy of the 500-member Privy Council has become suspicious. In the face of angry citizens, our authority may not be as good as that of Ansen Bach, whose whereabouts are unknown! They don't trust us, let alone that we will really keep our promises, they only trust His Majesty!"

"Let me make it clearer, in fact, it doesn't matter whether you pass this bill or not, because His Majesty has already decided to do so; what you have to sign and seal is the speech that His Majesty will read publicly in a few hours— If you don’t sign it, it’s nothing more than His Majesty’s speech without your names!”

"When His Majesty Nicholas I announces to the citizens of Clovis City at the gate of the Osteria Palace that they allow the formation of a Citizens Assembly, he will immediately gain the support of the entire city and sit in Clovis... No, it should be Follow from the greatest city in the world! Those local factions like chickens and tile dogs are not to be feared at all, and they will definitely rush to show their loyalty and share His Majesty's mercy."

"By that time...we who have not passed this bill, and even tried our best to oppose it...what will happen to us?!"

After roaring in one breath, Ludwig slammed down the table with his sword hilt, and looked around coldly.

The audience... deathly silence.

And after the silence, followed by extremely efficient exchanges and discussions: Regarding the parliamentary system, Clovis has not made many achievements in this area, and many of them are things left by convention over a long period of time, and now In order to establish a system from scratch, it is naturally necessary to carefully clarify the distribution of rights and specific functions.

Numerous conservative MPs from rich and powerful families read historical materials and provided reference suggestions from the "Knights' Conference" and the older "Citizens' Assembly" in the Dark Ages, while the upstarts more agree with the "superiority" of the committee and shareholding system, and believe that occupying wealth The amount of talent can be used as a criterion for establishing representative identity.

How to select representatives, the number of representatives for each community, the time and frequency of the assembly, and most importantly, the functions and scope of authority of the citizen assembly... Accompanied by endless discussions, the members of the Privy Council completed an unprecedented initiative: The mouse chooses the cat he likes for himself.

Undoubtedly, all members of the Privy Council do not want the town council to have too much power, so it must be that the functions of the other party are set as detailed as possible, and the more restrictions the better. the

However, with more and more restrictions on the citizen council, the Privy Council's own functions and scope of power have become more and more clear, and they are no longer as vague as in the past, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.

So the more they discuss, the more they can feel how much influence this citizen council will have on them, and then they will have a clearer understanding of "how many rights do they have" and "what is a king?" know.

When the sacred and noble status becomes a pure "position" and "title", is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Ludwig didn't understand, but he knew that this result must be in someone's plan.

…………

Outside the gate of the Osteria Palace, tens of thousands of people were surrounded by representatives from various communities and streets in the city. They held high the Clovis King's flag and came to the square outside the palace gate, looking up at the incomparable building nervously. The gorgeous palace is quietly waiting for the final moment.

The Storm Legion, which had already assembled and was on standby, assumed the responsibility of maintaining law and order and discipline. The five infantry regiments were divided into ten parts, and the people were separated by a human wall, holding a loaded rifle with a bayonet tightly in their hands. Never dare to relax. the

Soon, a small figure appeared on the city wall, surrounded by several well-equipped guards behind him, even though the opponent's appearance could not be seen clearly from a distance, cheers erupted from the crowd~www.readwn .com~ Amidst the scolding and warnings from the soldiers, the people and representatives became quieter, and finally there was no stepping on or hitting the cordon.

Looking at the crowd below, as many as the sea, Nicholas Osteria, who was standing on the gate of the city, was already pale at this time, his stiff hands trembling opened the scroll that had been prepared, and began to say every word read the above content aloud.

He read very slowly, stuttered and even made many mistakes. The queen mother who had to hide behind kept reminding him, and the royal guards on both sides had to support his shoulders to prevent the little king from sitting slumped on the ground. .

But it doesn't matter, because the people under the city wall don't know what he said at all, they can only see the movement of the noble figure reading aloud, holding his breath pretending to hear clearly, and looking up without blinking.

"...At this point, with the authority bestowed on me by the Ring of Order, I officially announce as King Clovis that the establishment of the Citizens' Council is allowed..."

The little king who finally finished reading the last content was relieved, and tremblingly lifted the scroll above his head as Ludwig had ordered in advance. the

In an instant, fierce cheers broke out in the entire Osteria Square.

Applause, shouting, dancing... It was as if thousands of artillery roared, and the little king's mind went blank for a moment.
