Chapter 2302 Regulations
The situation Lavenson is facing is really embarrassing. Misard's current question is obviously pushing Lavenson to a dead end. The problem he has to face is whether he recognizes the new emperor.
Yes, it is obvious that the new emperor Misade is definitely a problem. Anyone can think that this emperor may be the emperor supported by the invaders. In theory, no one should recognize it. Lavinson still calls Misade "The Prince" so far, which means that he has not recognized this emperor, but the question now is whether it is your turn to question?
Yes, they are sitting on the throne now. They have a crown and jade seal, and the documents for ascending the throne have been sent. To be honest, although the process is a bit simple and there is no formal ceremony, they can still be called the emperor if they insist on saying it. So what is his identity as the temporary captain of the Royal Guard to question the throne? Are you considered that onion?
Judging from the current situation, Lavinson now suspects that this matter was a coup caused by Prince Misad. As for him, if you recognize this new emperor, of course you have to obey the orders of the new emperor, and you will retreat. If you do not recognize this new emperor, what is your identity questioning? It seems that it can only be considered a treason. This really makes Lavinson very troubled, because he really doesn't know what to do.
Now LaVinson faces only two choices. One is to admit Misade, so he will go back first according to Misade's order. The second is to question the spot, and Misade will definitely declare himself treason. Theoretically, LaVinson wants to question it directly now, but there is a problem that the people next to him are not in the same mind as him. Yes, these deputy captains and their subordinates are not their own people. He is the temporary commander assigned by the old emperor. Others are dissatisfied. If he questions directly now, will anyone jump up and surrender to the new emperor and then cut himself off?
Lavinson was a little worried, and of course he didn't dare to ask now. After thinking about it, Lavinson decided to use insurance method, which was to return first. Yes, after all, it seems that the rescue is too late now, so now go back before making a decision. Of course, this does not mean that he admits Misade. What he thinks is that he cannot question Misade, but someone can question it. For example, their eldest prince has sufficient reasons to question it. Lavinson thinks that after he goes back, he will quickly notify the eldest prince, and then surrender to the eldest prince and ask the eldest prince to come back to preside over the matter. Then he and the eldest prince will attack the palace again. By then, he will be the eldest prince's person, and he will still be in the position of captain as a leader.
"Since it's okay... I'll take my leave first." Thinking of this, Lavinson here didn't want to say anything to Misade, and would only go back to contact the eldest prince before talking. Misade, don't mess with him first, be careful. If the other party does it to him, I have to be polite.
Misade didn't say anything, and let Ravenson and the others go. Ravenson was careful all the way. After all, he now thinks that Misade contacted the coup caused by the invaders. The other party still had troops, and might ambush them, but he didn't. He pushed back to his station all the way, but there was no situation.
On the other hand, Misad also breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the people from the Royal Guards really retreated. He was fooled by Li Huailin now and he felt that Li Huailin could succeed with the help of Li Huailin. He believed in Li Huailin very much.
"But from now on, the captain still seems to have not recognized me and will not obey my orders." Misard was at least from the royal family, so this can be seen. "Now that guy Vico (the name of the eldest prince) is serving in the First Legion. He is the identity of the prince recognized by his father. If he receives the news, he will definitely bring the army of the First Legion back. What should I do then? The Royal Guard will turn to Vico's side according to this situation..."
"Don't worry." Li Huailin said with a smile, "This is not a problem. You have joined me now. Of course I will deal with your affairs, right?"
"What should we do? Are we going to deal with the Royal Guard?" Misard asked immediately.
"No need to be so troublesome." Li Huailin waved his hand, "You are the emperor now. What do you think an emperor needs most if he wants to stabilize his position?"
"Uh... army?" Misad said for a while, and then added, "A powerful army, Lord Huailin, you have to help me. I don't have a single soldier now, I can only rely on your army."
"Are you stupid?" Li Huailin held his forehead, "Is the most important thing the people are the hearts of the people? What's the use of the army? If the people want, we will be invincible. Even if there is no soldier, the other party dares not touch us."
"Ha?" It is basically considered to be a guitar to play the bull. How could Misade, a royal family, care about the people's hearts and so on? The people are just the target of exploitation, and they are useless consumables. You say that the people's hearts are invincible. Is this a joke? But after all, it was Li Huailin who said it, and Misade would certainly not question it, but it just felt that it was not right.
"Looking at your expression, I know you don't believe it anymore. You must confirm it and show it to you." Li Huailin said.
"Uh... Then no matter what, even if the people are determined and invincible, I don't have the hearts of the people. The eldest brother is the prince, and he still has a high voice among the people. I rarely go out. Basically, those untouchables... are not right, but the people don't know me very much... What should I do?"
"I'll help you." Li Huailin smiled, and McCann, who was next to him, walked over from the side and took a few documents. Of course, Li Huailin asked him to write them. Now he has just finished writing them.
"Come on, if you are the emperor now, just leave these documents out. I promise that the civilians will support you from now on." Li Huailin smiled and handed the documents to Misade and said.
Of course, Misad was also literate, so he took it directly and saw it. At this time, McCann also whispered to Li Huailin: "Your Majesty, is this really okay? What are we here for? The people will definitely rebel on the spot when they see such an order."
"What?" McCann just finished speaking, and Misard on the other side also jumped up. Yes, his first reaction after seeing these documents was that he was shocked. All of these documents were simply a treaty that forced people to rebel.
For example, the first one is a notice of tax increase. Yes, Misad now surrendered to the Great Sixth League on behalf of the Empire. Of course, the Great Sixth League is the new suzerain state. So Li Huailin said that you people now have to increase taxes. In addition to the tax rate of 15 that the Empire originally collected, they also have to pay 50 taxes, and all these taxes are paid to the Great Sixth League.
The second order is similar to this, that is, the people of the empire will work for the Great Sixth League. Except for you and the original working hours, each of the remaining people will have to work for the Great Sixth League, and it will be free to work.
Article 3 and Article 4 are similar. Simply put, the empire was exploiting you before, but now there is another person on it. Of course, we will exploit you more and more severely.
Of course, Misad was really stunned when he saw these terms. Although he didn't care about the lives of the people, is it really something that makes people unable to survive? What is the situation of the tax of 5o? The empire only collects 15, and you collect 5o. If you calculate this, the people will be charged 65 tax. Who can survive? Then in this case, you have to let them serve labor and military service... He is the people and he will be against him.
Misad had also heard what McCann said next to Li Huailin in a low voice. Now he knew what it meant. He just believed that Li Huailin wanted to support him as the emperor. Now when he saw this thing, is this the rhythm of using the hands of the people to kill him?
"Okay, okay, just be straightforward if there is no problem." Li Huailin also waved his hand and said.
"No, Lord Huailin, this thing..." Misad was really anxious and sweating profusely, but just as he was about to say something, he was immediately interrupted by Li Huailin.
"What do you mean, don't you want to?" Li Huailin narrowed his eyes and said, "I tell you that I'll show you now, I'm already giving you some face. You're just a person who is responsible for signing and writing a note. Now that I'm on my boat, do you still want to get off? I don't have time to argue with you now, so I'll sign it for me right away."
"This..." Misad also thought of his current situation when he heard this. It seemed that he really had no choice. Li Huailin was right. Now he was at slaughtering, and it was not a bargaining negotiation. After thinking about it, there seemed to be no way to sign it.
There was no way Misad had to accept his fate. No matter what, he signed the things first and stamped them. Not long after, all the documents were left out, and followed the previous batch of documents from the new emperor's appointment, they were immediately passed to various cities of the empire.
Until now, of course, the people don’t know what happened. Of course they don’t know whether these emperors and princes really died suddenly. They don’t know whether the new emperor’s throne came from or not. Now no one questioned them, and of course they have no identity to question the new emperor. However, they have understood the treaties after the registration of the documents, which is closely related to them. After reading these documents, the entire Ksuss Empire suddenly exploded.
