【Leian】Prison bird

In the early morning of the next day, Bishop Daniel led the legendary princess to the palace to visit.This Miss Margaret has a close relationship with the deceased eldest prince - her mother and the former king's queen are sisters, and if the queen is still alive, she will call her aunt.

Yorkshire was originally the queen's mother's home. As a grandfather, the Duke of York supported the eldest prince, but now his success has failed. The Duke, who had already retreated behind the scenes, had to come forward to preside over the overall situation again after experiencing the pain of bereavement.Due to his daughter's karma and interests, he has always been at odds with Lei Shi, who was born in Lancaster, and even at this moment, he will show a tough attitude on certain matters.

The old duke has had many years of ups and downs in his official career, and he has done everything without leaking. He has always had reasons for his decisions, which makes it impossible to refute.A war without gunpowder spread silently, and the people sitting around the negotiating table were well-dressed, full of honey, and swords, each with their own plans in their hearts.

"The current situation is turbulent, and thieves and bandits are wandering among the city-states and causing disasters. Your Majesty has not long been crowned. This dispatch of troops will help establish prestige and win the hearts of the people. It should be decided sooner rather than later." The Duke of York said.

Lei Shi, who was sitting at the top, kept his expression on his face, and nothing could be seen on his inscrutable face.The two sides have been fighting so far, and both sides have suffered a lot from each other. Every generation of regime change in the dynasty will have a period of turbulence, and the new ruler needs to be more careful and prudent. This is the case in peaceful times, let alone today.

The Duke of York sent an elite cavalry team to escort them to the royal capital on the grounds that the marriage would go smoothly during the special period.He has a good sense of proportion, not only allowing himself to have a certain counterattack ability so as not to be passive, but also controlling the number of cavalry within a safe threshold, so that no one can comment on his decision-making.

Although the number of the cavalry team is small, it is true that it cannot cause a storm, but if Leishi dispatches troops to suppress the chaos, it will inevitably cause the phenomenon that the king's capital is empty. , Leishi, who once held the initiative, is likely to become a puppet.

Once the marriage was completed and he and the Duchess of York had an heir, his death would follow.And this dynasty will eventually belong to the dynasty of York.

But as a king, if he wants to gain a firm foothold, he must do something, and the other party must take action if he is sure.It can be seen from this that the Duke's methods are not insane.

on the other hand.

When Daniel led Miss Margaret into the palace, the meeting was in a state of stagnation like a quagmire.He introduced him to An Mixiu who was stationed at the door and asked him to take care of him, then he passed him and pushed open the door of the Council Hall.The thick and heavy carved door slowly closed with a "squeak", and the oppressive atmosphere was completely isolated inside.

An Mixiu withdrew his mind, gave a chivalrous salute to the reserved noble lady in front of him, and said with a gentle smile: "Hi, Miss Margaret, I hope to have this honor to lead you to enjoy the scenery of the palace."

The girl closed the folding fan, lifted the skirt and bowed back, her slender white neck was as long and graceful as a swan. "It is also my honor, Your Excellency."

It was early summer, and the garden planted with red roses and gorse was blooming. The white lilies of the valley were hanging down the branches and swaying in the wind. look like.The two walked through the flowers, talking happily all the way.

An Mixiu is a good object of appreciation. He will take care of the feelings of his companions carefully, and actively open up topics to enliven the atmosphere, so that the other party will not feel cramped and bored.At the same time, the etiquette of chivalry and the self-cultivation of a nobleman will keep him at an appropriate distance from the lady, being gentle and careful without appearing too playful.

Miss Margaret, who was sent to complete this marriage mission, has a dignified and beautiful appearance like a white rose. In terms of appearance and demeanor alone, she really matches Leishi.And her personality seems to be quite easy to get along with, An Mixiu thought in his heart when he delivered the rose flower to the other party.

Margaret took it and thanked her, and then suddenly said: "You are very special, different from them. I mean the other knights of your group."

An Mixiu was taken aback: "Have you seen them?"

Margaret smiled and said, "I saw your Knights during the parade yesterday."

An Mixiu was stunned, and just corrected her thinking: "You misunderstood, the Knights of Hundred Flowers is not my personal property, but we all belong to it, and we are proud of it."

"This way—" The girl covered the lower half of her face with a folding fan, revealing only her plump and smooth forehead and a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

An Mixiu faintly sensed the strangeness in her attitude, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.Margaret stopped at the place just now and stopped talking, the young man pretended to smile relaxedly, and changed the subject: "What is the miss talking about?"

Margaret did not answer his doubts for the first time, but said: "As you can see, I am a woman. We cannot ride horses and gallop on the battlefield like you, but similarly, you will also have things that you are not good at. .”

She brushed her hair around her ears, and her golden hair became more and more radiant under the sunshine. "Men always say that we are delicate and sensitive. Indeed, we women are born with abundant emotions. It will bother us and bring us convenience in some aspects, such as intuition."

An Mixiu suddenly discovered that they had already reached the depths of the rare flowers without knowing it.

"Unlike others," Margaret stared at him intently, "Your body exudes the smell of ripe fruit."

For a moment, An Mixiu couldn't even understand the meaning of her words.In the sunny afternoon, a coolness slowly submerged his body.The girl in front of her was still dignified and decent, but the words she confided seemed to be mixed with poison: "It seems that the pure Knight of Flowers is not as rumored by the world..."

What she said was meaningful, and the unfinished meaning between the words was beyond words.An Mixiu fell into an abyss.

Breaking the precepts is a felony, but in the Knight Order's pure rules and regulations, it is equivalent to a crime of betrayal. Once discovered, it will be dealt with severely.All offenders will be dismissed from their posts, and those who have bad influence will even be hunted down and purged by members of the Knights of Hundred Flowers.The matter between him and Lei Shi is also a scandal for the royal family. Although it is private, it is not afraid of [-] or just in case. Once it is exposed at this juncture, it will only be infinitely magnified.

At that time, he will become the first person to shame the Knights of Hundred Flowers since its establishment.

Margaret said: "I have heard that His Majesty originally did not agree to this marriage. What made him change his intention midway? Although I agreed to the marriage, I also need to make sure that I will not be implicated by accidents."

An Mixiu tried his best to remain calm, and asked tentatively, "Then Miss Margaret, what are your worries and what do you want from me?"

The girl held the red rose in the palm of her hand, and her eyes gently brushed over each petal.The flower An Mixiu chose was perfect, delicate and plump, full of vitality, and it was at its most beautiful. "Compared to lily, I think you are more suitable for it." She raised her hand and passed the flower to An Mixiu's face: "It's also unconscious, exuding a fragrance that attracts people to pick it."

When he took a step back subconsciously, Margaret said, "Your Excellency, let's make a deal."

Inside the council hall.

Lei Shi smiled inexplicably, and when the Duke of York put pressure on him again, he suddenly asked: "The Duke just said that the dynasty is the king's wealth, and I should protect it well?"

Duke of York: "Yes."

Lei Shi: "Then in the king's land, everything is my wealth?"

The Duke of York frowned slightly, but did not speak.

Lei Shi raised his eyebrows: "Why, doesn't the Duke think so?"

Duke of York: "...No, you are correct, Your Majesty."

Lei Shi changed his posture, put his arm on the armrest of the throne, and supported his cheek with one hand and said: "In this case, let the private soldiers raised by the counties and cities to solve the affairs in the territory. Everyone is dead."

The whole group from Yorkshire were taken aback, opened their mouths in vain, but failed to make a sound.

Lei Shi was confident and plausible: "Since they are all mine, it doesn't matter who sends troops? I command my own army to fight nearby and help the people get out of trouble as soon as possible. Isn't it right?"

He became famous at a young age, and he was able to stand against the eldest prince who was a few years older than him for so long, there were reasons for it.Even the old duke didn't expect that he would be sternly placed in such an inconspicuous place.

Once Leishi's decree is promulgated, the plan to divide the force will basically be declared aborted, and the way of sharing the responsibility will temporarily restrain the nobles everywhere-the king will no longer send troops to reinforce, and the high moral hat has been buckled. To collect taxes sustainably, they had no choice but to send private soldiers to exterminate the rogues, driven by their own interests.

In the process of entanglement with these desperadoes, the aristocratic class is bound to be unable to spare their hands and form an alliance with Yorkshire.It not only eliminates worries about the future, but also perfectly solves the problem of bandits and chaos. Behind the casual expression of the new king is a plan to kill two birds with one stone, step by step.

The current situation is only caused by the loopholes in the discourse.

Lei Shi's eyes wandered around, staying on Daniel who was sitting quietly at the side for a moment, and finally fell back on the Duke of York.He tilted his head, with a half-smile: "Or——you are just talking, but you don't really think of me in your heart?"

His eyes were cold.
