Warhammer Throne

Chapter 294: , Dazheng Chao

On February 11, the wife of Casvan and Hagen, Duke of Gisoleaux, took the lead in attacking. She officially initiated the impeachment proceedings against the king. Check to explain the failure.

Just as the electors of the empire have the power to impeach the emperor, the dukes of Brittany also have the power to impeach the king.

The duchess and the duke are "enemies." When the duchess cannot exercise their powers, the duchess can exercise his powers on their behalf.

Faced with Mrs. Casvan's question, Richard had to come out to challenge, and the king responded seriously.

"This is the war between Casvann and Pallaon and the empire, not Bretania and the empire. The royal court has never instructed Casvann to start this war at any time and anywhere. I also He has never expressed his support for Casvan on any occasion." Richard answered the question very seriously.

However, Mrs. Casvan had already prepared.

"His Majesty Dinoah Jean-Richard de Le Angouran, as the King of Bretania, firstly did not oppose and admonish the military actions of His Excellency Casvann Under the circumstances, the king, as the leader of the country, did not provide support and support to Casfan’s actions. In the end, when His Excellency Casfan was defeated and captured, the king did not carry out any tentative rescue activities. , Or a diplomatic attempt."

"Therefore, based on the above description, we believe that Richard, as the king, bears direct and indirect responsibilities in this war. The kingdom’s finances should make representations to the empire through an official diplomatic note, pay the ransom for Casvan, and at the same time The expeditionary force was not given sufficient resources to explain."

Obviously, the two sides have different views on this matter.

Richard, as a king, his view is that he did not instruct Casvan to start this war. Since Casvan declared war on the empire in the name of the Duchy of Pallaon and himself, then this is his own. The war is not of the kingdom, and he himself must be fully responsible for it.

Sounds reasonable, doesn't it?

But Mrs. Casvan’s point of view is like this. Yes, it’s a war between Casvan and the Duchy of Pallaon and the Empire, but Richard, as a king, knew about this from the very beginning. The king, as the leader of the kingdom, Richard should support this war and give sufficient resources and the help of the knights so that Casvan has a greater chance of winning.

Or Richard can also oppose this war. As a king, he should understand Casvan’s disadvantages. If he stops and Casvan has not agreed to start a war, then Casvan should be fully responsible. .

As a king, Richard neither agreed nor opposed. He neither chose to provide support to Casvann nor negotiated the ransom with the empire through diplomatic channels after Casvan was captured.

What kind of king is this?

The wife of Casvann was born noble and was full of relatives among the great aristocrats of the kingdom, and the content she put forward is also very reasonable. This is originally Richard's duty, and what is Richard doing? ?

"Quite Richard's way of doing things." Morgiana took Ryan's hand, and the two sat side by side in chairs.

This is how Richard handled things. Simply put, Richard didn't want the relationship between Bretania and the Empire to break, but he didn't want to make Casvan unhappy because of this.

So the king’s way of dealing with things is that the two ends of the snake and the rat, and the mud, explain to the empire that this is Casvann’s own personal actions, and to Casvann’s side is ambiguous, does not explicitly object to it, and gives tacit approval. .

This is the way Richard has always acted, no one wants to offend, so Emperor Karl-Franz asserted that Richard would not help Casvan.

Morjana was very dissatisfied with this matter. If she were there, she would definitely prevent Casvan's actions, and this human civil war would definitely not start.

Because of this, Casvan's wife received an unexpectedly large amount of support from the upper echelons of the kingdom.

On February 13, thirteen nobles, including the Earl of Hendrick, the Earl of Allen, and the Baron of Carey, announced their support for the wife of Casvan and questioned the king.

On February 14th, 31 nobles including the Knight of the Holy Grail Ziebman, the prophet of the lake **** Kori, and the Baron Cornell announced their support for the impeachment of the king by the Duchess of Palaon.

On February 17th, Vulcade, Duke of Montfort, and Theodoric, Duke of Berleon, announced their support for the impeachment of the King by Duchess of Pallaon by subpoena.

Richard was suddenly in a state of desperation. So much support from the nobles made the king unexpected, and he had to announce another court meeting to defend himself.

Otherwise, his throne will not be guaranteed.

One day's quarrel did not yield any results. Both sides had their own supporters. It was obvious that the king could not accept the payment of ransom for Casvan through the kingdom's finances, so the situation fell into a stalemate and quarrel.

Usually at this time, the two sides hold different opinions, and no one can convince anyone. At this time, the king should look for the Lake God Witch and let her arbitrate the matter.

The problem, however, was that Mogiana was seriously injured, no one of the nobles of the kingdom knew where to find her, and a few people in the know, such as François, kept their mouths shut and said nothing on this matter.

Both sides couldn't find Mogiana, and they tried to find Ryan, the champion of the lake fairy.

Ryan also stayed behind closed doors and refused to see guests.

The nobles have no way of knowing what the Lake Fairy's opinion is on this matter, and now it is impossible for both parties to retreat.

"I should come forward for arbitration. Richard and Cassfan will take responsibility for this matter!" Morgiana's beautiful face was full of anger: "Who gave Cassfan the courage to let him declare war on the empire alone? But As a king, Richard neither supported nor prevented him, nor did he fulfill his responsibilities as a king!"

"You can't go out, the vampire has never given up looking for you. I have eliminated several waves of vampire spies on my side." Ryan shook his head, and he grabbed Maugiana's little hand tightly: "At least until you recover, no. "

The expression on Maugiana's face was a bit tangled, and this answer was not beyond her expectation. The Lake God Witch sighed softly, "Well, just listen to you."

"Morgiana, if you come to arbitration, how will you decide?" Ryan then asked.

"Ten thousand." Morgiana thought for a while, and then said: "It is reasonable to find out ten thousand, and the remaining Kasfann will come out by himself. At the same time, he will send someone to negotiate with Karl-Franz to find a way to further discuss the ransom. The details of... Casvan and the Two Thousand Knights have already been captured, and they can only find a way to reduce or exempt some of the ransom at the negotiating table."

"Well, that can only be done." Ryan knew that he was not suitable to come forward.

He is a vassal of the king, and there is a basic relationship between the monarch and his vassal, and due diligence has not done much to him in many things, but for the moment, Ryan is still not suitable to come forward.

Then Mogiana was trapped in a severely wounded state and couldn't come forward.

Where will this great political tide go?

…………

On February 18, the tide intensified within the court of the kingdom. Three meetings were held in the court. Richard was neither a knight of the Holy Grail, but with relatively limited prestige. Facing Mrs. Casvan, he united the kingdom. The joint impeachment of hundreds of great nobles and hundreds of knights was in a hurry. Even if the Duke of Lyonace and the Duke of Polderro appeared in support, the king was still at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

On February 20th, the impeachment of Richard reached the limit. Hundreds of knights and thousands of family members of captured knights blocked the gate of the palace in Curona, demanding that the king be responsible for this matter. Many knight’s family members took their families with them At the mouth, women and children kept crying at the gate of the palace, slapped the door with their hands, and demanded that the king give a solution to this matter and redeem the captured knight.

In order to appease the nobles and the families of the captured knights, Richard had to send an envoy to the imperial capital of Braunschweig to negotiate with the imperial emperor Karl-Franz about the ransom. On the other hand, he sent the royal knights. , First pacified the family members of the captured knights who were stuck in front of the palace, and then arrested some family members who took the lead in the trouble.

Richard thought that his actions would calm the anger, but the wife of Casvan enlisted more family members of the captive knights to come to block the door. The Marquis of Taubot, who was in charge of guarding the palace, wrote a letter of resignation to Richard and took the initiative. Asked to resign from the post of Chief Guard of the Palace of Curona.

Richard refused, and he then turned to the head of the Kurona branch of the Knights of the Holy Grail, the Knight Commander of the Holy Grail, Ulles.

After Ulles got the news, he felt that the matter was serious. He led the five Holy Grail knights to go out personally to persuade the families of the captured knights to calm down before coming to the Royal Palace of Kurona, and at the same time arrested several deliberate disturbances.

The face of the holy grail knight is obviously useful, and the family members dispersed under the persuasion of Ulles, silting up in various hotels and taverns in Kurona, waiting for the king's explanation.

As a result, three days passed, and no news came out of Kurona's palace.

Casvan's wife and the nobles were angry, and they once again initiated the impeachment proceedings against the king, asking Richard to explain the matter.

The Knight Commander of the Holy Grail, Ulles, was also angry. He also wrote a letter of resignation requesting his resignation as the head of the Kurona branch.

Richard quickly decreed to retain Ulles, and at the same time, once again prepared to deal with the impeachment proceedings against the king. Richard, who was overwhelmed by the tremendous pressure, realized that this matter had changed.

Without Morjana's arbitration, the king himself could not command the holy grail knights, and the wife of Casvan had already faintly pointed the finger at Richard himself.

If this continues, the dukes may come to the palace of Curona to hold the election meeting!

Naturally, Richard was not a person to be slaughtered. The king sent out in the following meeting to say that since you are not satisfied with my handling, then I can convene the Kingdom Knight Conference. What decision is made in the Knight Conference, I will do as you said. ,how?

This strategy of retreat to advance is indeed powerful. Richard's high profile immediately attracted the sympathy of a large number of neutral nobles, because the king did not have any obvious fault in this matter, at most he could only give an "oversight" or "dereliction of duty". "The evaluation, that is far from the serious consequences of being forced to abdicate. Regarding this matter, Richard's handling is quite satisfactory, he won't be brilliant, and he didn't make too many mistakes.

Furthermore, even if Richard is to be forced to abdicate and the impeachment is established, who will pull the king from the throne?

In the past, the contemporary lake **** witch led the Holy Grail knight to do this, but the key was that Mojana was seriously injured and missing.

Richard's statement finally forced the Duke of Connet, Ron Leo Cornwall, to come forward. The Holy Grail knight stood up and asked both sides to calm down and return to the negotiating table.

Casvan's wife also realized that she would not have a good result if this trouble went on, and the two sides finally returned to the negotiating table in the palace.

Protracted negotiations are still unable to come to a conclusion.

South of Brittany, the Principality of Winford, the capital of Helenhild.

François was sitting in his study, and the Duke himself took the wine leisurely and said to the person sitting opposite him: "Percy, you are here after all."

The Duke of Bastogne, Bochmond, sat opposite François. He took out a letter and handed it to François: "Richard has been exhausted in the face of the current situation. He begs me to come forward and arbitrate this case. thing."

Francois nodded silently.

The Duke also felt that things were a little out of control. Originally, when the opinions of the two parties could not be unified, the Lake God Witch should come forward to arbitrate. She would give a compromise solution. Because she symbolized the will of the fairy in the lake, the nobles Then there will be no more objections.

The core of the problem happened to be here. Mojana was seriously injured and is now hiding in Ryan's territory to recuperate.

If Morjana was unable to come forward, it was Ryan's turn. The Lake God Witch had made it clear to the great nobles of the kingdom that Ryan would take care of her duties when she was away.

François believed that Ryan could not show his face in this matter. The core is that, first of all, Ryan is a vassal of the king. If he is inclined to the king, he will be regarded as colluding with the king. If Ryan is inclined to Casfan Mrs. En's faction will be considered that he has not fulfilled his obligations as a vassal.

Secondly, even though Ryan is flourishing in the kingdom, he is still inferior to the lofty prestige possessed by the Lake God Witch. The solution he gives is bound to not satisfy everyone, nor can he shut everyone up with prestige.

Therefore, it is best for Ryan to stay behind closed doors, refuse to see guests, and not to intervene in this matter. The excuse he gave is also perfect, that is, Ryan is connected with many electors and nobles of the empire. Avoid suspicion in the matter.

Morgiana did not appear, Ryan refused to express his opinion, and no one in the court could convince anyone, which caused the matter to completely lose control.

Now, the only one capable of arbitration is the Grand Commander of the Holy Grail Knights, the legendary Green Knight, and the Red Dragon Duke Bohemond, who is a direct descendant of the original Knight King Arthur. He is also a strong man in the sanctuary and enjoys a huge reputation in the kingdom. It is helpless for Richard to ask him to come forward for arbitration.

However, Berhemond was not very interested in internal affairs, so he came to ask Ji Yu François and asked him how to deal with this matter.

"You should probably ask Ryan about this matter." Francois whispered.

"Ryan? Didn't he refuse to see guests? Richard has sent several waves of envoys, but none of them have been seen." Berhemond frowned, "I might not see them either."

"I'll let Sulia accompany you." Francois whispered: "Suria is his fiancée. He must meet. Believe me, Percy, Ryan will give you a satisfactory answer."

Berhemond breathed a sigh of relief.
