Chapter 1040

Arlinks, Cathedral of light.

"... so you killed Klein?"

Pope jessolini XXIII looked at Donne and didn't know what to say.

Even if you know that with Donne's strength, it will be sooner or later for Ilus to recover solant, but the news is too sudden, isn't it?

Kill the king of solant without saying a word? And intend to recover solant?

"What you think is too simple?"

The Pope couldn't help saying, "even if you kill Klein, solant has other lords and nobles. Their local forces are deeply rooted and intertwined. Just killing Klein can't be a decisive factor and it's impossible to recover solant smoothly."

"Oh, I forgot to say that the three lords of solant West, Huiyao Valley and lightning wilderness forced solant to the palace. As a result, they all died."

Don shrugged and said: "So now there are no people who can win the king of solante. In addition, we have left queen chanelli. Now she is the only legal heir of solante and has the power to say everything. Next, as long as she publicly announces solante's return to the Ilus Empire, we will have a firm foothold in the general righteousness. Next, even if there are rebels To suppress them by virtue of righteousness. "

The Pope was stunned by Donne's drastic plan, which was to stand directly on the commanding height and crush the will of others!

No, I have to say, the Pope likes Donne's crisp approach.

At least, just killing Klein can recover solant and make the Ilus Empire strong again, which will reduce many unnecessary casualties.

After recovering the territory of the kingdom of solant, several principalities sandwiched in the middle can also return with the trend. The Ilus empire will rise again and become the largest power in prandal. Not only the royal family can get great benefits, but also the Holy See of light will get great benefits.

Apart from other things, the average income of the citizens of the kingdom of solant is much higher than that of the previous Ilus Empire (before Donne succeeded to the throne). Solant has returned to the Diocese of the Holy See of light. The funds contributed by those devout believers to the holy see are a lot of income. The hard pressed Holy See of light can also breathe a sigh of relief and live a relatively rich life.

"OK, I'll come with you."

The Pope no longer hesitated and stood up quickly to go with Donne.

"I'll go too."

Saint eluli also stood up: "in this situation of great changes in the pattern, as the saint of the Holy See of light, I should be present, and people will be more calm when they see my figure."

"That's the best."

Donne opened the portal: "please."

After the Pope and illuli entered the portal, Donne followed.

As soon as he walked out of the portal, Donne saw Morrison kneeling on the ground with a desperate face, tears streaming, and muttering "it's over, it's all over" in his mouth.

"Who is this guy?"

Donne glanced at him. "What's the matter with him?"

Aurelia smiled: "he is the Duke of Morrison carton, the father of Queen chanelli and Klein's confidant. The ancestors of the carton family voluntarily gave up the opportunity to become a Lord. Several generations have been serving around the royal family. Therefore, he is very favored by the royal family of solant. He can be on an equal footing with the three lords in solant's power."

"Oh... Then why did he cry so sad?"

Donne was a little surprised. "In silence for Klein?"

Not many people regard him as a loyal minister!

"He's not that loyal."

Topney said with a gloating look on his face, "he is distressing for his wealth."

"What do you say?"

Aurelia smiled and asked as if nothing had happened: "I asked him how much he thought his life was worth."

“……”

Donne looked at Aurelia with a speechless face. The princess learned bad from herself... Ah bah! What do you mean to follow yourself? She was bad.

"Morrison had planned to give half of his property to buy his life and his family's life. As a result, topney was willing to give 10% more to buy his life, so Morrison directly donated all his property to us."

Aurelia smiled very happily. Relying on the tricks learned from Donne, she gently and easily harvested a huge sum of money for the royal family. Can she not be happy?

With the split and rise of solant, the Caton family has accumulated extremely huge and considerable wealth, which may not be as good as the wealth owned by the solant royal family, but it is definitely not much worse. The total assets of land, manors, farms, mines, shops, goods, slaves, servants and miscellaneous servants, etc., may be more than 10 billion gold, which is absolutely eye-catching Wealth.

But now Morrison has to buy all his life - because topney is waiting to bid with him. His price is low, and topney will definitely pay for his life without hesitation.

Although the wealth of the Marquis of topney hogman is not comparable to that of Morrison carton's family, it is easy to buy his life with half. Morrison has no choice in case, at least, to keep his life.

"There's no need to do so. Leave him some share dividend rights and let him continue to manage those industries."

Donne waved his hand and said, "of course, it's time to manage our property for us."

Now neither he nor Aurelia has enough people to take over the assets. They say they have donated them. If no one used to manage them, they are actually idle. Instead, it's better to give Morrison some sweets and hope and let him continue to work for himself.

Morrison carton can sit in the Duke's position and become Klein's confidant. He must have his own ability. He can still use it.

Of course, topney hogman, who endured humiliation for Ilus, also needs a reward.

"Morrison carton, in the name of the Regent of the ilrus Empire, I declare that from now on, I will deprive you of your status as a duke, demote you to count, and punish you to serve me all your life, manage all the assets of the existing carton family, and you can enjoy the right of 50% share dividend. The higher the income you create, the more dividends you can get, and it depends on the funds you hand in every year Will you be willing to punish the carton family? "

"Yes! I do! I'd be very happy to serve you! Your great majesty Donne!"

Morrison carton was overjoyed when he suddenly heard the decision made by Donne. He thought he was dead. Even if he didn't die, he would have to spend the rest of his life in a remote village with his wife and children. He might even have to endure the torture of hunger and cold, but he didn't expect that Donne would make such a decision!

The so-called desperate situation is probably what Morrison feels at the moment.

Of course, topney was a little upset when he saw Morrison's end. After years of hostility, he wanted to kill Morrison now.

Donne looked at him, and topney immediately bowed his head respectfully: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I wouldn't do anything to him without your will."

"You're smart."

Donne nodded and said, "Marquis topney hogman, you and your family have contributed a lot to the Ilus Empire, so I will grant you the title of Duke as the Regent of the Ilus Empire and the title of Lord of hymn city. Would you like to?"

Topney hogman was ecstatic, knelt down on one knee and said solemnly, "minister - willing to give everything for your majesty!"

"Everything doesn't have to be."

Donne waved his hand: "I'm willing to follow me. I won't treat my people badly, but if I eat inside and outside, I'll never spare the traitor."

"In addition, if topney neglects his duty on weekdays, Morrison, you can also report it to me or princess aurelia, you know?"

The ecstatic topney was surprised. He saw that Morrison was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed: "I understand!"

The Pope, Luli and Aurelia burst into laughter. Donne has succeeded to the throne for more than half a year, but there is no shadow of a king. He looks very bandit. It is such a solemn thing. When he speaks, he looks like he is forming a gang

Donne looked at topney and said, "I know you're unhappy. I let Morrison supervise you, but supervision is essential."

Topney quickly bowed his head to show his loyalty: "I dare not, I will try my best to serve your majesty."

Donne said meaningfully: "as for the hatred between you and Morrison, I hope you can put it down. Not only Morrison can supervise you, but the carton family will be supervised by you in the future. Let's see Morrison's performance in the future. If he doesn't work hard, I don't think your chance of revenge will be too far."

Morrison's heart was cold. He knew that Donne was warning him. Suddenly, he felt sad. He just thought he had some power, but he didn't expect that it was just to check and balance each other and supervise each other

"I see."

Donne's words made topney understand his intention. This is to use him as a whip. With him staring at him behind his back, even Donne doesn't care, Morrison doesn't dare to slack off. He can only work hard. He may even have to bear humiliation and run over to please him and ask him to help say good words.

At the thought that the former enemy was going to cry and kneel in front of him for help, topney felt very happy.

He suddenly understood one thing. Sometimes, the best way to deal with the enemy is not to kill him, but to step on him and make him never raise his head in front of himself!

Topney admired Donne's means. Your majesty Donne, this is a really clever means. Just a few words, he not only recovered an available talent, obtained huge asset income for free, but also bought their loyalty and supervised and countered each other.

And what about himself? Pay is just a few words!

Equal interests, checks and balances and mutual supervision are the art of emperors!

The art of kings?

If Donne knows what he is thinking, he must scoff. If this little trick is the art of kings, it is estimated that Chinese emperors of all dynasties will lift up the coffin angrily.
