Chapter 211: The New Levender (33)

Early morning.

Levender Platinum Palace.

The golden sunlight shines into the classically decorated parliament hall.

An old man with silver hair and a vigorous spirit in a silver robe stands on the podium in the center.

He said loudly: "The evil that happened in the Platinum Palace tells us that no one, including the king, should have too much power!"

"In a kingdom, the king has the most noble status, and this is reasonable!"

"But as nobles who assist the king in governing the kingdom, they should never be driven by the king like cattle and horses."

"If the power of the kingdom can be dispersed into multiple centers, then even if one person makes a mistake or even degenerates, others can easily correct his mistakes, just like we did in this exorcism!"

"Therefore, I suggest that only the king's supreme veto power be retained, but the specific execution power should be divided one by one and handed over to the nobles present for safekeeping."

"Any major event that the king wants to launch regarding the fate of the kingdom should be fully discussed by the noble parliament."

"If the parliament does not pass, then no one, including the king, can implement this matter!"

On the high platform, the old man was passionate.

He clenched his fists and kept waving them in front of him, as if he had mastered the truth of the world.

His words were unanimously agreed by the 168 noble councillors in the hall, and from time to time, the younger generation of assistant councillors cheered loudly for him.

At the top of the noble council, on the platinum throne belonging to the king, the platinum queen Molly. Sheila, dressed in a gorgeous dress, wearing a platinum crown and holding a platinum scepter, sat upright.

She listened to the silver-robed councillor on the podium expressionlessly, with neither anger nor fear on her beautiful white face, as if everything happening in front of her had nothing to do with her.

In the eyes of others, she seemed to be frightened by the nobles.

But no one comforted her, and no one was even willing to take a second look at her, as if she was just a beautiful doll placed on the throne for decoration.

As a master of magic, no, it should be said that Molly, who is already a five-ring sage, does not need comfort.

She watched the nobles' triumphant and reserved performances, and her empty left hand gently rested on her lower abdomen, carefully sensing the slight rhythm in her abdomen.

A life has begun to grow, and this life belongs to God!

Perhaps some people have given this God many nicknames, such as the legendary wizard, the eleventh-ring strongman, and so on, but in her eyes, her husband is God!

Now, she has become one of God's wives, so in her eyes, the nobles jumping around like grasshoppers are just a passing cloud.

Soon, these people will follow the path of the nobles of Weilan and Aaron.

I don't know how long it took, when Molly felt that her back was a little sore, the five marquises of the kingdom came to her together and bowed to her.

The posture is very standard, the expression is very respectful, and there is no fault in etiquette.

It's just that the eyes are a little unscrupulous.

After the ceremony, Marquis Nobundo, whose reputation among the nobles is as dazzling as the sun at noon, walked forward a few steps and held up a beautifully bound contract.

"Your Majesty, this is our newly agreed kingdom charter, please take a look."

The attendant stepped forward and held the charter in front of Molly.

Molly glanced at it casually and nodded, "No big problem."

She raised the king's platinum scepter, and the top of the scepter showed the condensed five-ring magic power, but she did not stamp it for a long time.

When the condensed five-ring magic power appeared, the marquises were slightly surprised and looked at each other.

In today's world, four-ring mages are already everywhere, which is not rare. In the past, four-ring mages were often given the title of master, but gradually no one mentioned it.

A kingdom has tens of thousands of four-ring mages. If they are still masters, then the master is too worthless.

But five-ring mages are still very valuable.

Although a few more emerged after Duke Weilan announced the latest practice skills, the total number has not exceeded 50.

The entire Natural Alliance has nearly 600 million people, and the number of five-ring mages who do not exceed 50 is naturally still a respected magic sage.

Therefore, when they felt that the queen had five-ring magic power, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the marquises.

Of course, it was only a trace.

Even a five-ring sage could not stop the fire gun.

All I can say is that I must be more respectful and patient with the queen in the future. After all, she is a genuine descendant of the natural god. If she has outstanding magic talent, she will be more valued by the mother of nature.

At this time, Queen Molly spoke up: "I can stamp this charter, but I want to add one more clause."

Marquis Nobundo immediately said: "Your Majesty, please speak."

"Compared to the heavy government affairs, I prefer to pursue the mysteries of magic, so I need a regent."

"But the nobles are already in charge of enough things, and the common people should be given some positions, so this regent must be a commoner."

"Or to put it another way, my cabinet must have a chief minister, whom I call the prime minister of the kingdom."

"You can disagree, but if you disagree, then this charter will never be stamped with the platinum contract of the Sheela family!"

After saying that, Molly put away the scepter and leaned towards the throne, with an attitude of never compromising.

There was no way, the charter could only return to Marquis Nobundo again.

Marquis Nobundo saluted again: "Your Majesty, we have to discuss it."

"Please do it, I have plenty of patience, but I heard that Duke Weilan has cooperated with the royal family of Kaa to build a large flour mill, and the daily output is expected to reach 5,000 tons!"

"This is a big deal, and Duke Weilan only recognizes my authority. If I don't nod, none of you will want to cooperate with him!"

No one doubts the words of the Fifth Ring Mage. Since she said so, she will definitely do it.

And her words did greatly affect the interests of various nobles.

New flour mills must be introduced, and the latest conversion arrays and flour conversion technologies must be introduced, otherwise they will fall behind other kingdoms, especially Kaa.

Levind usually looked down on Kaol and felt that Kaal people were too dissolute, so when the Queen Mother became a dissolute person, her reputation among the people was very bad.

Now it would be very hard to accept that the dissolute Kaos should surpass their own country.

So the marquises returned to the parliamentary round table holding the charter and started discussing in low voices.

"Isn't it disgusting to have a prime minister with muddy legs in the cabinet?"

"Obviously, His Majesty is very angry with us, and she is trying different ways to disgust us."

"What should we do?"

"What can I do? I can only agree."

The speaker was Marquis Nobundo.

He looked around at everyone and spread his hands helplessly.

"The thing is very clear. The Queen's backer is Duke Willan. I bet she must have sharpened his gun for the Duke."

The other marquis grinned disdainfully: "I can't help but think that I might have to give birth to children for the duke."

Marquis Nobundo said: "So, she is the Duke's mistress."

"The Duke is bound to use her to influence the political situation of our Levind. The idea of ​​​​this civilian prime minister must have been thought up by Duke Weiland."

The frustrated Marquis Larmo looked at his old rival who had been stepped on by him, and said calmly:

"If you agree, then the Duke will have one of his hands inserted into our Levind cabinet. How will everyone do anything in the future?"

Nobundo immediately said: "Weilan is so far away from me, and he is just a prime minister with no background. What kind of trouble can he make in the cabinet?"

Marquis Larmo sneered: "No background? Isn't the Duke his background?"

This is true, and the remaining three marquis also felt very headaches.

Someone said: "I say, just ignore His Majesty."

Someone immediately objected: "This is not acceptable. After all, His Majesty is a legitimately crowned descendant of God, and the emotions of the common people also need to be taken care of."

"Personally, I even think that establishing a civilian prime minister will help appease the increasingly restless people in the country."

This makes sense.

Although the Levander nobles still control the kingdom's huge resources, the power of the common people is undeniably growing and has reached a point that cannot be ignored.

Another person said: "We also need to rely on the power of Duke Weilan. It is impossible to truly get rid of the Duke's influence."

"Even if he rejects His Majesty this time, Duke Willan will definitely think of stretching out his hand in other directions. Since we always have to stretch out our hands, it is better to let this hand stretch out in the open."

This is also true.

Marquis Nobundo was very smart, and he came up with an idea: "We can agree to this, but the civilian must be a Levander who grew up in Levend."

"This civilian has family and friends in the country, and it is best to have his own industry. When he becomes prime minister, we will provide him with some benefits and develop him into one of our own."

"In this case, it will be useless no matter how long the Duke's hands are."

In his heart, Marquis Nobden actually favors Duke Welland, because his family has a lot of cooperation with Duke Welland. His family cannot reach this point without the support of Duke Welland.

His idea was indeed a good one. The marquises looked at me and I looked at you, and finally nodded in agreement.

After adding this article to the charter, it was once again in the hands of the Queen.

The queen looked at it and nodded with satisfaction: "That's it."

But then he added: "The prime minister is elected for a term of five years, with a maximum of three consecutive terms. Each term must be appointed by me personally. You can nominate him, but the final decision rests with me."

"Do you agree?"

This is a small matter, but it is also the power that a king should have, at least in form.

Marquises, you looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn’t want to bother you anymore, so they nodded and passed.

"I already have a candidate for the first prime minister."

After saying that, Queen Molly clapped her hands: "Come out, my prime minister."

The back door of the parliament opened, and a middle-aged man in dark red attire strode in. He knelt in front of the platinum throne and called himself 'the sacred and noble platinum queen'.

It was none other than Muladi, the Levand businessman who once focused on opening a brothel and invested heavily in Duke Willan, who was still a baron.

Queen Molly looked at the marquises who looked like they had eaten shit, and said: "My candidate fully meets your requirements, and I insist on using him, otherwise I will not sign the Kingdom Charter."

What can be done?

I can only hold my nose and admit it. After all, this is a small matter.

This Muladi may have some abilities, but after all he is just a civilian businessman, and his influence among the people is very limited.

He joined the cabinet as prime minister and could not cause any big trouble.

So, after a lot of back and forth, the kingdom's charter was finally stamped with a platinum seal representing the royal family's sacred power.

When the matter was confirmed, Mulady felt like he was in a dream.

No, I should say that even in my craziest dreams, I never imagined that I could sit in such a position.

But he is a very sober and rational person.

Although he was trembling, he still did not lose his composure.

‘I have to hold on to Duke Weilan’s legs, otherwise I will definitely be killed by these ruthless nobles. ’

‘Not only will they kill me~~ but they will also kill all my family members. ’

Thinking about it, I felt that it was not enough to just hold on to the Duke’s thighs, and I had to unite the power of the civilians in the country to find a way to get rid of these nobles.

Not to mention killing all these nobles, at least they should not interfere in the country’s political situation like the northern nobles of Weilan.

Only in this way can he, the prime minister of the kingdom, be completely stable. Even if he resigns, he will not be liquidated by the nobles and can still maintain great dignity.

Therefore, defeating the nobles is not only the expectation of Duke Weilan, but also completely in line with his own interests.

Muradi also has many feelings in his heart.

There is a giant who did not appear in the parliament, but the shadow he cast has already had a huge influence on the parliament.

The young man he invested in has grown into a towering tree.

Now the shadow of this tree not only covers Weilan, but also gradually extends to Levender.

He secretly thought: "I wonder how high this tree can grow, and how wide the territory can be covered by the tree crown?"

Of course, this is all in the future.

Today, a brothel owner became the first regent of Levender, representing the interests of the common people of Levender, and entered the cabinet with the kingdom's top nobles to jointly manage the huge Platinum Kingdom.

The Kingdom of Levender has also turned a new page.
