Chapter 311

When James opened the door, Fang Tianxing finally understood that there was a pungent and strange smell inside. James told Fang Tianxing, "just yesterday, my father Baron Tony died here and was killed. I hope you can help me find out who killed my father."

It was originally planned that a month later, his father would pass the throne to James, who was supposed to be the successor, but his father died too early, which made his heart float. There are people below who refuse to accept James and want to rebel, overthrow James and take his place.

In order to hold down these people and successfully stabilize his position, James invited Fang Tianxing to help solve the case. For him, everything was just a disaster and an obstacle to his succession to the title.

Once an important person gets a title, it is not fixed. If you are newly awarded outstanding military service, outstanding achievements, or especially favored by the king, you can be promoted to a higher rank or take a new title at the same time. In addition, aristocratic marriage is also a good opportunity and way to obtain, add or improve titles. Because the title of feudal land is dazzling and admirable to many people in the society, those who have noble status and family property and their long line heirs can always easily get admirers and suitors.

For a long time, the title of nobility and the corresponding property rights and political privileges are only owned by the title holder himself. Although his family members are members of the nobility family, their political status is close, and the general liberal people are not allowed to attend the upper house.

Nobility titles and fiefdoms were passed on according to the rather strict system of eldest son inheritance; If the eldest son dies, the eldest grandson, the second son, the youngest son or other family members will make up for it in order. If a nobleman has no heirs, he can inherit his title and fiefdom by his close relatives according to his will or living arrangements and with the approval of the king and the high court. But in most cases it was the king who took back the title. Usually, nobility titles and titles can not be transferred or sold at will. In order to maintain the size of the aristocratic group and for other reasons, most of the kings in the past dynasties supplemented the aristocrats appropriately.

The government has established 12 ranks of officials, from civilians to Knights, barons, viscount, earls, Marquises, dukes, generals, governors, princes, lords, and supreme marshals. The warriors can actively establish meritorious deeds, obtain corresponding titles, and win various titles through meritorious deeds.

There are many ways to obtain meritorious service. Knights can obtain meritorious service through their contributions to the country and battles. They can obtain certain meritorious service no matter they win, lose, attack or defend successfully. When they accumulate enough meritorious service, they can be promoted or even get knighthood.

At the moment, two of James' father's knights have already accumulated enough merit. Once James can't sit in this position, they will definitely get the title first.

Once the title is won by others, it will be very difficult for James to get it back. Fang Tianxing realized that James was not sad about his father's death, but worried about his title.

Fang Tianxing did not speak, but carefully investigated the situation of the scene, and found that the traces of the scene were very rare, there were no signs of fighting, there was no special place, only the traces of his father's daily life.

Beside the bed were books that the nobles of the middle ages often read, and some daily necessities. Everything looked so normal, as if nothing had happened.

As the eldest son, fighting and being an official are the only way out. Therefore, if you are the eldest son, you need to cultivate all kinds of combat skills, such as shooting, driving, parachuting, etc. Therefore, it is the primary task to practice all kinds of military skills every day, just to be able to read.

As the future chief military officer, your duty is to make up your mind and make rewards and punishments. Whether the specific campaign organization has the right to inherit the little nobles and the staff of the common people's children are worried, and the management of the army is done by the sergeants.

Therefore, you don't have to be too attentive to military tactics, let alone think about military philosophy. But it's a compulsory course for you to be familiar with military history and war cases, especially when your superiors need some allusions. If you take out your mobile phone to search at this time, your superiors will greatly reduce their trust in you.

As an aristocrat, a tall and big body is more useful than a brain full of knowledge, so physical education accounts for a large proportion of your education. In addition to learning war and exercising, language is also an important skill you need to learn.

Now English is popular in the world, and the working language of the United Nations is generally French. Considering that diplomatic envoys are also the work of noble children, it is necessary to master these two languages at least.

Nobility can only live on real estate, can not engage in business, and can not have skills, so in addition to polishing your combat skills and leadership, don't learn anything else. Music art, to understand a little can boast, is to study deeply is to play with things and lose heart.

Travel is an important way for aristocratic children to learn. Travel allows you to expand your knowledge, understand the military geography of other countries, and prepare for invading these countries in the future. More importantly, you can make friends with the aristocrats of these countries, so that you can have a relationship when you have the opportunity to act as diplomatic envoys in the future, or you can be treated more properly when you are a prisoner. Of course, with luck, there are also some love affairs. For example, when you visit the American court, you may become the lover of the eldest princess Ivanka.

In addition, your study will be extremely hard. In order to polish your combat skills and adapt to the hard military life, it is common for you to be beaten, scolded and starved in the process of education.

Your eldest daughter is growing up. You are very satisfied that your wife has trained her to be a little lady. Finding a good mother-in-law for her is a major event that the family needs to plan at present. Your tendency is to associate with the local lords in Maoxian or near Chengdu. The former is conducive to expanding your local power, and the latter is conducive to strengthening your economic interests. But your wife would like her to get married to Beihai and establish closer ties with her relatives. The count of Danba has tentatively proposed the intention of marriage for his second son, but you are not willing to marry your daughter to a guy who has no inheritance right, even if he is the count's son.

James told Fang Tianxing about the situation a few days before the accident. In those days, his father always felt very tired and dizzy. He always said that he seemed to be suddenly old.

At that time, I didn't take it seriously. I went to the hospital for an examination and found no problem. So I decided to have a rest for a few days. But I didn't expect that my body suddenly deteriorated, and then I died very quickly. I always thought there was something strange in it, but I couldn't find out the cause of my father's death. I hope you can help me, and your benefits will be indispensable after the success.

James a pair of arrogant tone, Fang Tianxing did not argue with him, just asked: "let me see your father's body."

"That's what I mean," James said

Soon James took Fang Tianxing to see his father's corpse in the cold storage of the castle. His corpse would not decay here, but also to find out the cause of death.
