These big shots are actually me
Chapter 36
The Duke of Windsor nodded again:
"He saved my daughter, and the Rose family will not be stingy with such kindness. It's just that I wasn't sure beforehand whether he would have a 'friend' who would be more willing to take care of him, so I haven't expressed my position, but now, I I think it’s time for me to show up.”
Regarding this sentence, the count asked again:
"That 'friend' you're talking about doesn't know?"
The Duke shook his head regretfully and said:
"I have no idea."
The earl immediately stopped asking. Regardless of whether the Duke of Windsor really didn't know or pretended not to know, after saying this, he shouldn't ask any more.
The count turned to look at the high platform and suddenly said:
"I heard that the three majesties were not feeling well yesterday, so only their majesties appeared during the day. Will all three of them attend the House of Representatives today? This is a bit rare."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding nobles also saw that on the high platform, several palace maids hung iris garlands symbolizing the Queen's rule on the three thrones.
Suddenly, a new round of discussion broke out in the whole place.
The throne on the high platform, with a garland of iris hanging on it, means which His Majesty will be attending today. The situation where all three thrones are hung with garlands has not happened in the House of Representatives for almost a hundred years.
Everyone is keenly aware that today's peerage council will be quite exciting.
The Duke of Windsor also frowned slightly after seeing this scene. The Earl beside him quickly asked:
"Did you know something?"
The Grand Duke shook his head and said:
"Not sure yet. Let's wait and see."
The count nodded and said nothing.
Soon after, the royal knights all raised their horns and blew out the Loland horn.
As the national trumpet sounded, many nobles present stood up and loudly sang a hymn that belongs exclusively to the Queen:
"God bless the Queen, she may always win and be blessed with glory. She will be popular and happy. If she governs the country, her destiny will be long..."
This is a hymn that began to circulate when the Queen really started her reign. It is very appropriate and catchy. The only pity is that no one knows who the author of this hymn is. Perhaps this is better.
Because this can be said to be a gift from the people to the Queen.
Just saying is that really the case?
Then no one knows.
During the hymns, the three queens held scepters and wore crowns, and walked to the three thrones on the high platform one after another under the gaze of countless nobles who stood up and saluted.
After the Queen glanced around in the daytime, she said loudly:
"I declare that the parliament has begun!"
After that, he sat down with Yong Ye and Li Ming. After the three queens sat down, the female official next to Li Ming stood up, took out a scroll, opened it and read aloud:
"The ministers are summoned today to discuss the matter of Mozo Klein's knighthood. The reasons have been sent to the ministers. Please read it and discuss the matter of Mozo Klein's knighthood immediately!"
After finishing reading aloud, the female official gathered up the scroll and returned to her seat.
At this point, the nobles all sat down and took the detailed report on the matter from the attendants behind them and read it carefully.
Of course, there are quite a few people who have no intention of watching it at all. They are all people who have known about this for a long time.
Mo Zuo also got a copy of such a report. Mozo also took a general look. Just as the count said.
Her Majesty the Queen hid her identity as the Immortal Courtyard, and the defeat of the Green Angel also turned into delaying the Green Angel until the Queen of Dawn came to help. As for how Mozo's small Sequence Ten held back the Green Angel, that was explained by the fact that Mozo got the non-existent spare crown from the elf master due to the last unknown attack.
That's why we can use the Golden Army to fight against the powerful Green Angel.
Of course, the report also emphasized that he only activated the Golden Army like the elf master, but he had no way to control it. The other party relied entirely on their own logic to find the most threatening Green Angel.
In this way, Mozo's 'true identity' was concealed and the elves were prevented from overdoing it. At the same time, Mozo’s achievements have not been completely erased.
Although this means that Mo Zuo's superficial achievements are definitely not as good as his actual achievements, there is nothing that can be done about it. You can't put all the truth in front of others.
In this case, what is the position of Wuxiang Courtyard? ! How could Mo Zuo hide with peace of mind? !
After reading it, Mozo closed the report with satisfaction. He himself was very satisfied with this explanation.
This explanation is very consistent with his purpose of low-key development. If he goes further, Mozo still hopes to arrange his fiefdom in the north.
After all, the North is his ‘home’. If it were in the north, Mozo thought it would be relatively easy.
And at this point, it is quite promising. Although the empire now has a large area of territory that is 'vacant', except for the northern border, other places have more or less factional problems among the local nobles.
The Northern Territory is different. After the fall of Cromwell, the Northern Territory completely became a territory directly under the royal family. If nothing else, the royal family's control over that place is almost absolute.
Therefore, the territory given to Mozo will most likely also be the northern territory. Thinking of this, Mozo was even happier. He was even thinking about whether he could ask for his territory to be placed on the border between the empire and the elves.
Being poor or almost doesn't matter. Just rely on the elves.
In this case, if there is any irresistible danger, Mozo can lead his few subjects into the elven forest to seek the blessing of the twin sacred trees.
65 Unexpected Scenes
Who would have thought that the nobles of the empire would seek the protection of the Twin Sacred Trees?
The more he thought about it, the more Mo Zuo felt that the future was promising.
At the same time, after a brief discussion among the nobles on the stage, one person spoke first.
"Mozo Klein has made outstanding achievements and deserves to be rewarded, but he is still young. He may not be worthy of the heavy responsibility, but if he is not given a generous reward, it is really difficult to reflect the tolerance and kindness of my Lorraine."
As he said that, the man looked at the nobles beside him and raised his hands and said:
"Why don't we temporarily make him an Imperial Knight, grant him a manor on the border of our valley, and wait for three years of inspection before selecting him for meritorious service? What do you think?"
These words were obviously the result of a consensus among his circle. When he said it, the surrounding nobles all nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the man smiled proudly and bowed to the audience before sitting back.
But these seemingly reasonable words caused a lot of discussion and uproar among the rest of the aristocratic circle.
Many of them wanted to make Mozo a lord and then give them a high-class manor near their home. As a result, these valley nobles actually turned them into knights and border territories.
As for the three-year period, it just sounds good in appearance. Everyone knows that once the reward is determined, the empire will treat the title with the same attitude. Mozo will only be a poor little knight on the border for the rest of his life.
Unless there is a war on the border, he happens to have made a great contribution.
But is this good? In fact, for the other nobles, this is good. They don't like having outsiders join their noble circle. But it is obvious that this cannot be done. First, Mo Zuo’s achievements are indeed not small. After all, leaving aside the ceremony, he saved the people of an urban area.
This is all shabby and not only ugly in terms of face, but also if some of them achieve the same feat in the future, wouldn't it be equally difficult to reward them generously?
Second, Her Majesty the Queen proposed the issue of knighthood. It is a bit too much for us to think of giving someone a knighthood. You also want to make someone a knight.
This, you don't care about Her Majesty the Queen's face at all, right?
These valley nobles are really short-sighted and short-sighted!
Immediately, a new noble stood up and said:
"Inappropriate, this move is absolutely inappropriate! Sir Mozo Klein has made great achievements, how can he only be awarded a small knighthood?"
The person who spoke this time was a representative of the Haitian aristocracy. Haiti is famously wealthy. After all, it is difficult to be poor even if you rely on shipping.
So their plan is this:
"We believe that we should grant the title of Baron! However, Sir Mozo Klein is indeed too young. It must be difficult to properly manage the people of the territory, so it is better to do this. We Haitian nobles are willing to choose a small coastal castle as Sir Mozo Klein's Fief. But the fief corresponding to the title will not be given."
"At the same time, as compensation, we are willing to give 3% of the shares of a medium-sized port as compensation for Mo Zuoqing!"
He was granted a title, but not a land. At the same time, in order to take care of the queen's face, he also gave the other party a considerable amount of shares. This is the perfect answer that the Haitian nobles came up with. Although three percent sounds like a small amount, it is the shares of a medium-sized port!
The annual gross profit is normally equivalent to the total tax revenue of the two baronies.
And the Haitian nobles are even willing to turn this three into five! Anyway, the Haitian aristocrats have a lot of money, and it would be painful to cede territory, so to divide the money is just a waste of water!
But the bottom line must not be taken out first. To hide.
Regarding the speech of the Haitian nobles, many other nobles suddenly felt that it was feasible. But they also know that they can't stop there.
Because today's parliament was convened by Her Majesty the Queen to knight Mozo. In this case, there is a subtext:
I am very optimistic about this child. You should each get a charter. I'd rather pick a good one.
Yes, Mozo thought that the title of knighthood was to cede land from the ownerless royal territory, but in fact, after the fall of 'him', the title of knighthood was to cede land from the nobles.
And everyone thinks this is normal. Because of Mozo's blessing, the Queen's voice in Lorraine is astonishingly high.
It was also because of this that the count and others were so melancholy that there was going to be a problem with Mozzo's title. After all, this is cutting the nobles' own flesh.
After the Haitian nobles spoke, the mountain nobles stood up again:
"It's still inappropriate. How can a title be granted without actual territory? Doesn't doing this make our Luolan Empire look poor and stingy?! But we also deeply believe that Mo Zuoqing is too young. So be it."
"We propose to make Mo Zuoqing a lord! At the same time, let Mo Zuoqing come to our mountainous area, and we will select a piece of land equivalent to the barony and give it to Mo Zuoqing as a territory! Of course, if Mo Zuoqing has an idea, we can also Properly seal the territory!”
There is no shortage of land in the mountains, but there is a shortage of money. You can do whatever you want with the territory, just don't go too far.
Regarding the speeches of these aristocratic circles, the Earl recognized the proposals of the Haitian aristocrats. No land, but money. And is it really necessary to have a small castle as a fiefdom?
But for Mozo, he was a little surprised.
Damn it, why did you all take me to your own territory? ! Don’t you know that you are cutting your own flesh? ? ?
Shouldn't this situation involve ceding the territory directly under the royal family? Send me to the north! Don't you want to see Cromwell's territory taken over by someone new? !
Because of the 'time difference' problem that should not exist, Mozo didn't know that under normal circumstances in the empire, nobility was a matter of several noble circles negotiating among themselves to carve out the nobles' own lands.
Ceding the royal family's direct territory? Aha? Do you want to rebel? !
There must be something wrong with their brains! The rest of the nobles will definitely not be like this!
After thinking this way, Mozo looked at the remaining noble circles with confidence.
Under Mozo's expectant gaze, the representatives of the woodland nobles stood up:
"The inequality between titles and territories is really against the laws of the country! And the so-called conferment of knights is even more ridiculous. This act is completely contrary to our country's desire to treat its heroes preferentially!"
"We believe that Mozo Klein should be granted the status of Lord, and we will also select a good manor in the forest as Mozo's fiefdom. Of course. This does not reflect our preferential treatment of Mozo. .”
"So our forest land side is willing to give Mo Zuoqing an additional 800 acres of economic forest as additional compensation!"
After saying that, the representative of the woodland nobles sat down with satisfaction. They were not willing to cede the land, but Her Majesty the Queen could not violate her wishes, so this was the best solution they came up with.
Give a manor as a territory and a large economic forest as financial compensation.
The territory was given, and the money was also given. Interesting enough!
Mo Zuo, on the other hand, looked at the circle of nobles with increasing confusion.
Didn’t the count say that you hate outsiders joining in? Then why are you still trying to take me to your place?
66 The awakened Mozo and the dissatisfied queen
Suddenly, Mo Zuo reacted with a flash of inspiration.
'Wait a minute, is it possible that the current title of nobility is not the land of the royal family, but the land of the nobles? ! ’
As soon as this idea appeared, Mozo understood everything instantly.
This will make it clear. The reason why they keep bringing me into their circle is because they have cut their land!
Nowadays, the title of nobility is directly inserted into a noble circle!
I used to wonder why the earl said that these nobles would try to lower my reward because of the special zone. It stands to reason that ceding royal territory should not be something that the nobles would like to see?
Are they all loyal ministers who are so loyal to the royal family that they cannot bear to see the royal family's interests harmed at all?
I get it now. Emotional knighthood does not cede royal land! No wonder they boycotted me.
After all, the damaged interests are your own.
Wait, if that's the case, no matter where I go in the future, wouldn't I naturally make the local nobles unhappy? !
Mozzo was stunned by what he found.
On the other side, the highland nobles also began to speak:
"We also believe that Lord Mozo Klein should be given a reward. At the same time, we are also willing to give Mozo an additional small horse farm as compensation like our previous colleagues."
It can be seen that the nobles are basically unwilling to cede land. Most of them hope to use local specialties to offset the territory and even the title that should be given to Mozo.
