Chapter 11

Three days later, gray finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the nobles driving their carriages or riding out of the king's capital one by one.

It took three days to stabilize the whole situation. Then there were protons in hand, and these nobles didn't dare to move.

These nobles were also relieved. As long as they could go back, the glory of the family could be saved. They were watched by a large number of soldiers every day. They were also afraid that the new king would kill them suddenly.

Many of the aristocratic heirs who were killed by gray agreed to his request and were willing to be demoted to inherit the fief. They did not dare to question the death of their parents.

Of course, some people think that their father will never betray. They think that everything is gray's lie. They brazenly launched a war to enter the king's capital and avenge their dead father.

For these people, gray sent troops to suppress them while sending people to support new heirs and set off internal fighting.

A noble family cannot have only one child, but only one clear heir. Who can say that those who have no inheritance qualification are not greedy for the title after enjoying the noble life?

As long as gray provoked a little and promised titles and territories, some people were willing to stand up and attack their brothers and sisters.

Of course, there are really United families. In the face of such things, they directly elect an heir, inherit the title first, and then send troops to avenge their father.

Gray sent troops to suppress these United.

Although he succeeded to the throne soon, he was endorsed by the old king and famous as a dragon slayer. The soldiers of the old king took refuge in him and were willing to suppress the rebellion.

The greatest of those rebellious nobles is the Marquis with one city. How can they compete with gray with five cities? Even if the remaining two Marquis did not contribute, he also had soldiers in three cities and villages twice as many as the nobles. No matter how tenacious they resisted, the final result was the same.

Especially among the heirs of the Marquis, the internal struggle is the biggest, and it is impossible to elect a powerful leader.

In Gray's view, this is a plate of loose sand, which can be suppressed soon. Even if there is unrest, it is only temporary.

After the overall situation was stable, gray began to arrange his own people, enfeoffing meritorious people to the original rebellious territory, and let them lead troops to recover and build.

For the nobles, the most important thing is the territory, which is the foundation of the family. As long as the king dares to give it, no matter where the territory is, they will try their best to get it.

In particular, the second and third sons of aristocrats who have no inheritance right have an unprecedented desire for titles. Their parents are all right. They can't inherit titles. The only way is to borrow some soldiers from their father and suppress the rebellion to make achievements.

Of course, gray also gave a lot of money and military merit rewards to those soldiers. For this reason, he also paid a large amount of gold coins, which was very painful.

He didn't do anything when he enfeoffed more important territory, but he was reluctant to throw out a lot of gold coins.

But fortunately, he is not a real dragon. He doesn't like treasure that much. Otherwise, he won't be rewarded for his meritorious service, and the country will be in turmoil again.

After the reward, the soldiers were more motivated, and the resistance of the rebels became weaker and weaker.

In just ten days, the Kingdom quickly recovered from the turmoil, and the whole kingdom was thriving. Only a few people were unwilling to fail, gave up their territory and fled to the surrounding mountains and forests, intending to spy in the dark and launch any conspiracy.

However, these people have no threat. If they lose their territory, they will lose their troops. How can they continue to fight against a kingdom?

And there are many Warcraft monsters around. They don't live in human territory. It's one thing whether they can survive or not.

By this time, basically everything has been decided. Many noble people with protons hope that gray can let their heirs go back. After all, they don't pose much threat to gray.

After discussing with his father, gray decided to postpone. Although everything is settled now, he still needs to be careful to prevent them from repeating.

So gray spoke and let them go back after March.

Three months is enough to establish the prestige of the new king in the Kingdom and make many people forget the old king. At that time, even if they repeat, they won't be worried.

Moreover, the old king is still in his hands. The delicious food and drink is to keep him from going out and communicating with others. Even if those nobles want to find a reason for rebellion, they can't find any good excuse, and they won't be as united as they were when they first went back.

Gray was suddenly stunned when he thought of uniting to make a city. "Yes, I can put them back one by one. First put those nobles who have the intention to be close to and support me. The fat man's son is good!"

If they put it back together, they may get together and talk about how to get back face.

But put them back one by one. This one wants to get back face. It's also because he's worried about his son's hands and feet. When the other goes back, those who have already gone back should have no intention of revenge. If their hearts can't be together, everything will be solved naturally.

Well, gray immediately asked someone to let the fat man's son go. The fat man's noble name was Brio. He was an earl and worth courting.

And gray did it secretly.

After putting the man back, gray immediately let the wind out. Brio's son was put back because he secretly took refuge in himself.

Of course, the news was so small that it only reached the ears of the two nobles.

Gray wanted to narrow it down a little if he wasn't afraid of an accident if he passed it on to only one person.

A secret is only known by one person. If more people know it, it will no longer be a secret.

Soon, the nobles knew that Brio's son had been put back. Some people were angry and accused Brio of betraying them, but others nodded thoughtfully.

Two days later, two more carriages quietly left the city and drove to the territory of the two nobles.

However, although their movements were secret, they fell into the eyes of many people.

The next day, as soon as gray got up, someone came and said, "Your Majesty, the perrini family sent you a gift to congratulate you on becoming king."

After all, he is the heir of the family. How can he rest assured that he has been locked up? Of course, he should return to his territory as soon as possible and protect himself.

Gray went to have a look. There were two small boxes of gold coins, 100 in each box, which was a lot. It was probably the income of a relatively rich Viscount territory in a year.

Although he wanted to play with these yellow gadgets, gray restrained himself.

Bring the heirs of the two families and return the box to them. "This is a gift from your family. I hope you can go back early."

"A little gift at home just shows loyalty to his majesty. It doesn't mean anything else!" They hurriedly said in fear.

For these people, gray is not as strict as the king. There is still news that can be passed to them. They also know that some families close to gray have been put back.

"I am not a greedy king. Take these things back and tell your father that loyalty is the greatest reward for me!" Gray said with dignity.

"Your Majesty, we are willing to offer our loyalty to you!" They saluted and said.

After they left and returned to the fief, they told their father what had happened. The dissatisfaction of the two nobles immediately subsided, and there was less resistance to the new king.

Gray's means at that time were so tough that it was impossible for them to have no resistance and dissatisfaction.

However, what the nobles care about most, such as fiefdom, title and interests, can be eliminated as long as they can keep these three things.

Gray did not exploit their interests. In their view, he was a good king. What was the previous small grievance? As for the old king, which nobleman would give up his interests for an impossible hope?

As long as their own interests are not damaged, it makes little difference to them who will be king!
