Chapter 386 The First Question
Chapter 386 The First Question
After destroying Belgaru's "Seven Days Dynasty", Aix had no time to indulge in the joy of victory. He still had a lot of things to deal with, and many of them were very tricky, which would cause great trouble if not handled properly.
The first problem that urgently needed to be solved was the power vacuum. The false king Belgaru was publicly executed. He took all the blame for the incident on behalf of Aix, but his death did not end it all. At the same time, he also dumped the heavy burden of Vigia on him.
Due to the false king's wanton hunting, the male bloodline of the former king Yarogelk's close relatives has been completely cut off. It is not realistic to look for bloodlines farther away. Otherwise, all the boyars in the entire Kingdom of Vigia will have the right to inherit the throne, which would be a huge joke.
The only solution now is to find a female from the King Yarogerk's family to take over. There are many examples of women in charge in the history of the continent, and there are even more with titles. People do not reject this. However, it is a time of chaos now, and weak women are bound to be questioned for not being strong enough to control the chaos of frequent battles.
"What if the husband of Her Majesty the Queen is a powerful lord?"
In the conference room, Fatis said, this noble lord, who was known for his rigidity, was immediately shocked by his casual words and covered his mouth with his hands. You know, the Kingdom of Virgia is now under the rule of Aix. If the husband of the new queen is a powerful lord, can he tolerate Aix holding power alone? Isn't this cultivating enemies for himself?
But the words fell into ears, and the lords present at the meeting all looked at him, but Fatis did not think too much. He just opened his mouth and said it without thinking about the follow-up questions at all. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he stammered and could not explain clearly, and his face immediately turned red.
But his words also opened a door. Everyone pondered over his words and fell into deep thought. Among them, Sir Resarit seemed to have figured something out. He nodded and said first:
"What Sir Fatis said is not a bad idea."
Before he could continue, Sir Bandark interrupted him and said:
"I don't think this is a good idea. We have the final say in the entire Kingdom of Vijia now. If the queen's husband is a powerful lord, it will definitely be disadvantageous to us."
Sir Bandak's words represented the thoughts of most people present. Atiman, Ran Hu, Fatis, James and others nodded in agreement. After all, the Kingdom of Vijia was like a tempting big cake now. Now that it was on everyone's table, no one was willing to share it with others, not to mention that this person might snatch the cake from them in the future.
However, Resarit seemed very confident, still smiling and nodding to everyone:
"Yes, everyone is right to worry, but what if the queen's husband is our lord? There was such an example in Gronia, which is very similar to our situation today.
At that time, there was a general in Gronia who was extremely capable and rose to prominence step by step through military achievements. This general had a high prestige and was loved by the people. However, after he came to power, many local nobles still questioned his rule. In the end, the general had no choice but to marry the queen of the time, which calmed the domestic doubts.
I think with our current strength, there will be no problem in supporting a new king. However, no matter whether the new king is a man or a woman, if we cannot control her, she will sooner or later become a major concern for us.
It would be different if the new king was your wife, then the king's affairs would be your family affairs, and if the queen gave birth to your child in the future, your child would be the future king, and the whole country would be under the rule of your family. This would be impeccable in terms of legality, and other nobles would have no reason to oppose it.
Besides, this time, your Excellency, ahem, restored order, executed the murderer who murdered the former King Yarogelk, and saved the surviving royal blood from suffering, which can be regarded as saving the entire kingdom. He has done a favor to the country, and even if your Excellency marries the queen, the whole kingdom will be completely accepting of it. "
Sir Resarit's last sentence sounded very hypocritical. After he finished speaking, this honest boy blushed with embarrassment. He lowered his head and looked at the wine glass in his hand, not daring to look at other people.
Everyone felt quite awkward after he finished speaking. Those present were all core members of the territory, and everyone knew what the "Seven Days Dynasty" rebellion was about. No one dared to continue the conversation, but Sir Lesarit's words still made sense, and everyone fell into deep thought.
In fact, it is easy to understand the twists and turns in the middle. The throne of the Kingdom of Vijia is right there. If we don't take it, it will definitely be given to others. No one would be willing to work hard only to let others take it in the end.
However, no one dared to actively agree with this honest boy, Lesarit, because there were two heavyweights attending the meeting. One was Lady Tsandre, who led an army of three thousand. When X was away, she was the one who made the final decision on all matters of the territory. She is now an indispensable member of the territory's management. X has to consult his dear wife on many things, and she must attend the meeting. X does not have any such thing as the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. He is still very confident in each of his wives.
The other is the third wife, Sophia. The leader of the Holy Cave Mercenary Group has another main job, which is to be personally responsible for Aix's personal protection. He serves as both a personal guard and a secretary, and of course, a closer one than a personal secretary.
These two are Aix's closest relatives and they will give everything for Aix. Of course, they understand that Sir Resarit's opinion is good for Aix, and they think this method is feasible from the bottom of their hearts. As long as everyone agrees, they will have no objection.
They know their husbands. Although they are not promiscuous, they don't know why their husbands have a physique that attracts foreign girls. No matter where they go, all kinds of beauties will come to them for all kinds of reasons. Sometimes they really have to do it. It's really helpless, but what can they do? They are almost used to it now, just treat it as an extra set of knives and forks for eating at home?
But having said that, this kind of thing would be hard for any woman to bear. There is no woman in the world who is generous in this regard, unless she doesn't love him anymore, or has other purposes. So at this moment, the two women lowered their heads, their faces so gloomy that water could drip out of them.
Aix had been around women before, so how could he not understand the thoughts of these two wives? Seeing their ugly faces, he immediately had a stress response of self-rescue, slammed the table and shouted at Resarit:
"Sir Lesarit, please be careful! What kind of a jerk suggestion is this? I don't agree with it! I absolutely won't agree to it!"
After saying that, he slammed the door and left angrily without looking back, escaping quickly and in a panic.
