The Eagle of Eastern Europe

"Quiet! Quiet!"

The leader of the House of Commons, Victor Ponta, stopped the discussion among the members. The next step should be to listen to the emperor's words together with those in the House of Lords in accordance with the order of the Lord Privy Seal. But he still needs to submit these petitions to the emperor, which can be regarded as completing the task assigned by the local people.

"grown ups"

One member stopped Victor. "Stevo, what can you do?"

The man named Stevo took out a document. “When I went to Constantinople, 352 farmers in Skopje jointly submitted a petition, saying that Klaus Johannes had appropriated their land, killed their husbands and fathers, and even occupied their land. His wife and daughter, the local mayor also collaborated with him in oppressing them."

As soon as these words came out, the other members were shocked and speechless. Who doesn't know that the Johannes family has a large area of ​​land in Macedonia. It was Bey who was originally conferred by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. After the Ottomans were defeated, he directly transferred to Wallachia and wiped out all the evidence. Then they easily Escape from Wallachia.

I thought he would be more restrained, but he turned out to be so arrogant. Moreover, he also married some nobles in the House of Lords to form an interest group. An arrogant person like him must pay the price.

"Johannes is by no means a special case. The same is true in Nicaea, Thessaloniki and other places. They rely on their own property and ignore the laws of the empire. You say, can we watch them do whatever they want?"

"cannot"

Stevo's words made the members of the House of Commons angry, and they wanted His Majesty the Emperor to expose the behavior of this shameless person.

The situation shown by the upper and lower chambers made Mircea feel that it was better to let them quarrel. So, the minister of the seal was sent to tell the meeting that the emperor had taken the queen and other members to the monastery in the suburbs.

At the height of the council's quarrels, the emperor went to the monastery, effectively leaving Constantinople in a state of masterlessness. Some of the highest orders could not be implemented without the emperor's approval, and the rest of the meeting was forced to terminate and could only be continued after the emperor's return.

Moreover, a rumor appeared in the streets of King's Castle. It was said that the emperor couldn't stand the Boyar Conference and those people had to leave the castle and even planned to move the capital to Bukur Yesti, which made the people in the capital a little angry.

In their view, the Bartrams were the saviors of the Roman Empire and Constantinople. Now those nobles are disrespecting them. This is a chilling move. These nobles cannot represent the vast majority of people.

I don’t know if those nobles had their brains thickened or something, but they actually acted like this when the triumphal ceremony was approaching. Come here at a time when the people of the empire are most supportive of the royal family, aren't you looking for a beating?

The citizens of Constantinople began to attack the nobles, demanding that they bring back the emperor. The guys in the House of Lords panicked and hurriedly went to the Grand Prime Minister, hoping that he could persuade the emperor to come back.

"Everyone, the prime minister is ill, so he won't see guests. Please come back."

"How can this be done? Now that the emperor is away, the prime minister must take responsibility."

"The prime minister is indeed ill. Please come back another day."

And is our prime minister really sick? No, he is tasting the coffee rewarded by the emperor in his study.

"Father, those people are gone."

"Well, get ready, we have to leave Constantinople too."

Angel also knew about the document in the House of Lords. It was an offense to the emperor, but the emperor could not clean it up the way he dealt with the Wallachian nobles last time. The most useful way now is to use the power of the citizens in the city. Force them. It would be better if they were connected to a few more cases.

----Dividing line----

Peter set out from Zaregeb for Constantinople without knowing what was happening in the capital.

Since the triumphal ceremony required preparations and the time required to transport the treasure, Peter decided to go somewhere else first. The vast land required parades of emperors and Caesars to increase cohesion.

"Meet the Imperial Caesar"

Peter came to a manor in the province of Serbia, owned by a well-known local landowner. I heard that his land output and taxes were the highest in the area, which made Peter want to see if his method could be promoted nationwide.

"I have long heard that your land has good yields, so I came here to take a look today."

"It is an honor for you, Your Highness, to be here."

The manor owner introduced Peter into his manor. The serfs and tenant farmers inside knelt down one after another when they saw him. The master personally explained his governance policy to Peter.

"In the past few years, the place was unstable and there were always some refugees. I asked them to cultivate new land, and they signed a deed of sale with me. Not only did I not let them pay rent in the first year, I also gave them seeds. , farm tools and cattle.”

Peter didn't quite believe what the manor owner said. After all, this was the first time he had seen such a kind landowner.

"Do you grow food here?"

"Most of them grow food, some also grow some cotton and apples, and some are used for beekeeping."

It sounded fine, but as soon as he entered he felt a strange atmosphere. Petkov, the factory owner next to Peter, also felt something was wrong. He asked the guard who was following Peter how he knew about the serfs.

"You only need to look at the management manual of the manor and the serfs to know whether the master treats them well or not, and the life span of the serfs can be seen at a glance."

Although Peter set a very high ransom, many people saved up the amount to redeem themselves. Some would join the army, and the refugees would join Peter's personal army as they settled down. This is the case for this guard. He was born as a serf in the Ukraine. He later escaped with his family and came to Dobroga at that time. Then he participated in the war and was promoted to his current status.

Petkov went to collect information according to his instructions, and the guard heard a voice. When he turned around, it was a serf who kept breaking branches. When he saw the other person turning around, he waved him over.

The guard was curious and followed him, but the serf just waved and said nothing. When I arrived at his residence, I found a person hanging there, who had been dead for a long time.

"This...", the guard was speechless. In his opinion, even the cruelty of the master to the serfs was not that severe. Looking closely at the serf kneeling on the ground, he found that his tongue had been cut, and he kept grabbing the guards, hoping to help them seek justice.

At this time, the guards realized that a riot would soon break out in the manor. He must find Caesar and leave as soon as possible, otherwise he will hurt himself.
