Black Iron Crown

"Why! Why are you doing this!"

In the deliberation hall of Tesca Palace, Earl Redmara and other upstarts yelled angrily at the lords of the Bukden Kingdom.

"Oh my god, that is a group of mobs threatening the safety of the imperial capital, who can tell me why you treat us like this after we helped you deal with the gang of rebels!"

The lords of the Bukden Kingdom said exaggeratedly.

King Satri sat on the emperor's throne without saying a word as usual, watching the people below making noise.

The queen's face was also very ugly. Although she did not speak, Earl Redmara represented her attitude.

"Those are not rebels at all! They are the cornerstone of our empire! They are loyal supporters of the empire! You are too much!"

The upstarts and the vassals of the Kingdom of Bookern quarreled again.

"enough!"

At this moment, King Satri stood up from his throne and said: "Lords of the Ridkar Empire, I am very sorry for this matter, but in the end it was just a misunderstanding, and in the end we just did it with good intentions." Bad thing, I don't think you should criticize my vassals so harshly!"

"What's more, my vassals also paid losses in the previous actions. Since both sides have suffered losses, I think it's better to just let it go!"

King Satley's peace made the upstarts very angry, but they also knew that it was not a big deal to have a conflict with the lord of the Bukeden Kingdom, but if King Satley was insulted, it might affect both sides. Inter-state relations, and even the outbreak of war.

So, under the coercion of King Satri, the matter was left alone.

After the vassals of the Bukden Kingdom left the conference hall proudly, the upstarts couldn't help being furious, cursing each other's shamelessness and rudeness.

But then, they started a new round of wrangling, very real, about the property left by hundreds of dead squires.

"Enough! Do you still have any sense of shame?"

The old earl, who had always been outspoken, finally couldn't bear it anymore after listening to some of the upstarts' shameless remarks, and stood up from his chair, pointing at them and yelling at them.

"They are the cornerstone of the empire! They died to maintain the dignity of the empire! And now you are trying to seize their inheritance! Where is your shame? Where is your honor?"

The old count was furious,

His face was flushed red with anger.

Apart from him, there were also a few people who glared at the other upstarts.

"Count Pedas, we have suffered too many losses this year, and it is very difficult for us to maintain our current life. We can't even get a single gold coin out!"

"Count Pedas, I have nothing to say, but I have not reached your level! The soldiers under my command need military pay! The tailors, cooks, servants, and grooms in my castle need wages! I need to make my wife and children live well. Days, I have to eat myself, we have to be more realistic!"

An upstart stood up and said directly to Earl Pedas.

"Shut up! Do you think everyone is a fool?"

Earl Pedas became even more furious after hearing these shameless words,

"Your territories and caravans are constantly providing you with wealth! What you spend is nothing more than your past savings. You can regain these wealth in less than a year. The few fortunes of those who died in the country!"

"Okay Earl Pedas, if you don't want to, you don't have to participate. Please don't let your decision affect us!"

All the upstarts spoke out to mock Count Pedas.

Earl Redmara frowned and looked at the group of upstarts. As long as one-third of the upstarts opposed the appropriation of the property of the dead gentry, he was willing to help Earl Pedas to speak out.

He is very clear about the consequences of embezzling the squire's land, but now, the empire is in crisis, and if he offends the new nobles, then his status includes the throne of his "son" They will also be shaky.

He has already regretted a bit, regretting that he suppressed the royal lords too much, which caused them to be separated from the imperial capital.

But there is no way, the original royal lords were almost crushingly powerful, if not for the rebellion in the south that almost wiped out the royal lords near the south, and Grand Duke Mabula also buried many royal lords, I am afraid that the gang now The upstart and he are still struggling to survive under the pressure of the royal lord.

Earl Redmara looked at the enthusiastic upstarts. Although he knew that this was drinking poison to quench thirst, he still said: "In this case, then you can go ahead and do it. I won't come forward, it's all up to you!"

Hearing the words of Earl Redmara, the upstarts all beamed with joy.

Although the four or five hundred squires who died were not of high status, they were military officers who had followed the old emperor after all. Not only did they own land at home, they also took advantage of the environment of the imperial capital to do business.

Not to mention that everyone has a lot of money, but each family can still get seventy to eighty or even hundreds of gold coins.

Even if only one-tenth of the four or five hundred people have such financial resources, it is still a good income, which is enough to make up for their previous losses.

The upstarts sent their soldiers to the homes of the squires who had died, and plundered all their wealth.

"Stop! Stop! Damn, you can't do this!"

The children and wives or parents of the dead squire tried their best to stop the behavior of this group of people, but they were beaten severely and then thrown out of the house.

The properties of hundreds of squires and yeoman farmers were confiscated, making up for the losses of the upstarts.

The family members of squires and yeoman who lost their property could only temporarily lodge in the homes of other squires.

"They went too far! They killed my father, and now they want to take away our property! They will definitely pay the price!"

Many people who had their properties taken away hated the upstarts, and the squires and self-cultivated farmers who survived without losing their properties also had sympathies, and at the same time, they became more and more dissatisfied with the imperial capital.

The news then spread to the north, causing an uproar among the royal lords.

"The son of a bitch! The son of a bitch, Earl Redmara!" Earl Jolar angrily overturned the table in front of him, roaring loudly.

"A bunch of trash! The emperor's throne was actually taken by someone else! This is a shame! A shame! Let's go to war! I want to go to war!"

For the news that King Satri was sitting on the throne of the emperor, mortgaged customs duties, and caused the death of more than 500 old squires, Earl Choral was filled with righteous indignation, and the anger in his heart could hardly be suppressed.

At the same time, Reiner also got news from the imperial capital.

Listening to Logan's report to himself, Reiner was elated, although as a royal he was not comfortable with such a thing happening, but this is an opportunity!
