Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Then what should we do now? Should we just ignore it and watch the king build a huge fleet to occupy the wealth alone?"

    Crozes¡¯s two thick eyebrows were tightly squeezed together, and he was thinking in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, he was extremely eager for overseas trade and overseas colonization.

    ¡°If he had such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if it was lost like this, he would probably have trouble sleeping at night.  []

    "Compared with overseas trade and overseas colonization, the harvest from our little land is really pitiful. This is an opportunity that we must not miss." Another noble stood up and said bluntly.

    ??In fact, everyone understands this truth, but from the beginning, these people have stood on the opposite side of the king, and even seized the rights that belong to him.

    Thinking about it now, they couldn't help but feel annoyed and regretful, regretting why they didn't keep their eyes open and had to go against the king.

    Some people couldn't help but feel annoyed: "We shouldn't have disobeyed the will of the gods, let alone usurped the rights that belong to the king. Look at the people of Zomokos today. Not only have they become great heroes of the kingdom, but they are also  Because of this war, a lot of wealth and slaves were obtained."

    At that grand ceremony, Achilles rewarded Zomochos and others with the wealth and slaves he brought back in front of all the people of Thessaly, which made many nobles jealous.

    But they had nothing to say. After all, the credit of Zomokos and others was put there. They rushed thousands of miles across the prairie, wiped out the Macedonians, and completely eliminated this century-old enemy for Thessaly. It was natural for them to receive big rewards.  of.

    "Zomokos and others are obviously obedient to the king, and their interests are tied to the king. When the king builds a huge fleet, they will also gain huge benefits from it. When the time comes,  We are even more passive." Among the nobles, there are some who are far-sighted and have considered some things that may happen in the future.

    After the nobleman reminded everyone, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation. Yes, if the people of Zomokos gain great benefits in future overseas trade and overseas colonization, then they will have greater decision-making power in the kingdom.  The level of improvement is increasing, and when the time comes, people like myself will be pinned down by them, and there will be no chance to stand out.

    "We must not let this situation happen. We must take action and try every means to intervene in Haifu's foreign trade and overseas colonization." Everyone clenched their fists and looked determined.

    Although that is said, how can we get involved in future overseas trade and overseas colonization?  This is the biggest problem.

    "Perhaps, we should go and have a talk with that wise king. Maybe he can help us answer the confusion in our hearts." Crozes, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, but there was a little bit of emotion on his old face.  The helplessness.

    Being able to become the largest nobleman in Thessaly, and even control most of the decision-making power of the noble meeting, Crozes naturally has a mind beyond ordinary people.

    After this period of thinking, he already had some ways to deal with it, but he did not say it directly, because that would inevitably cause confusion among these nobles.

    ¡­¡­

    Not long after Achilles returned to his palace, the guard guarding the palace gate informed that Crozes and more than twenty nobles wanted to see him.

    "This Crozes is a smart man. In this short period of time, he was able to think of the key, but I don't know if he will choose to give up the rights in his hands." Sophia looked at him with a smile.  Achilles smiled.

    Achilles also smiled and said with certainty: "Perhaps other nobles will be reluctant to part with the power in their hands, but Crozes will never hesitate, because he is not the kind of short-sighted person who has nothing to do with overseas colonies and overseas trade.  Compared with the wealth he has brought, the shrinking rights no longer have much temptation for him."

    Sophia nodded with deep understanding, and then said: "That's true, now that you have destroyed the Macedonians, the support of the people and soldiers of Thessaly for you has reached its peak, even if they completely control the nobles  Meetings can no longer restrict you. Instead of clinging to rights that are no longer of much use, it is better to simply let go and gain actual benefits."

    "You used this trick very cleverly. It not only united all the Thessalians, but also diverted the attention of these nobles to building warships. But I am worried that there may be some short-sighted nobles.  I will not give up my rights."

    Achilles doesn¡¯t careHe waved his hand and said: "As long as Crozes surrenders his rights, the other nobles will not be able to make trouble."

    While talking, there was already a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the hall. The two looked at each other without saying anything, and then saw Crozes and others walking into the hall.

    "Your Highness the King, Queen" Crozes and others bowed and greeted Achilles and Sophia.

    Achilles stretched out his hand to signal them to get up, and then asked: "Crozes, I just returned to the palace, and you came in a hurry, but what's important?"

    On the way here, Crozes had already discussed his words. Now when Achilles asked, he didn't hide it and said directly: "His Royal Highness led the troops to the expedition to Macedonia this time and achieved unparalleled achievements.  , now that the barbaric Macedonians have been exterminated, there has been no more external strife in Thessaly since then.¡±

    "Your Highness wants to build a huge fleet and strengthen Thessaly. Although I am old, I still have some energy and am willing to share the burden for Your Highness."

    Achilles sat quietly on the throne, supporting his chin with his right hand, looking down at the wise old man with a half-smile on his face.

    "Your Highness is extremely wise and far surpasses all previous kings. I believe that the Council of Nobles will definitely transfer the power of the kingdom to His Highness, who will take charge of the entire kingdom's affairs."

    When he said these words, it was like a stone falling into the water, instantly causing thousands of waves in the hall.  The nobles who came with him looked at him in disbelief.

    "Crozes, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?" Someone among the nobles immediately jumped out, pointed at Crozes and shouted angrily.

    "The Council of Nobles represents the rights of all nobles and people in the kingdom. Although His Highness is wise, how can he alone represent the Council of Nobles and control the kingdom?"

    Looking at these angry nobles, Crozes looked calm and said calmly: "This is my personal opinion. Of course, if you don't agree, then please feel free to do it."

    "I, Crozes, show my all, follow His Highness the King, support you unconditionally, and contribute to the prosperity of Thessaly." As he spoke, he half-knelt on the ground, facing Achilles  Pledge to follow.

    Among these nobles, Crozes was not the only one who could see clearly and far away. Then eight more nobles stood up and expressed their willingness to give up their rights and follow Achilles.

    As for the other dozen nobles, they are all the kind of people who only know the immediate interests. They cannot see the long-term interests at a glance like Crozes and others, so they are naturally unwilling to give up the rights in their hands.

    For this situation, Achilles had already expected it, but what surprised him was that among this group of nobles, there were more far-sighted people than he expected.

    Achilles stood up, walked slowly off the throne, helped Crozes and the other nine nobles up one by one, and said meaningfully: "I believe time will prove how wise your choice today is.  "

    After Crozes figured out the key, he had already stopped paying attention to the power in his hands. After getting Achilles's reply, his half-suspended heart was finally settled.  With his stomach full, he left the palace satisfied.

    Those nobles who were reluctant to part with the power in their hands had gloomy expressions on their faces. When they left the palace, they looked at Crozes with mocking eyes, but mostly with confusion.

    They really couldn¡¯t understand why Crozes, as the largest nobleman in Thessaly, was willing to give up his rights and choose to follow the young king because of his illusory wealth.

    "Right is touching. These great nobles of Thessaly have been prosperous for so many years precisely because they have the decision-making power of the noble meeting to benefit themselves.

    ¡°If they give up these rights in their hands, then they are actually not much different from ordinary people. They just have much more wealth in their hands than ordinary people.

    The meeting of nobles transfers all rights to the king. Then the king who controls all the rights of the kingdom will be the master of the entire kingdom. At that time, the life and death of these people will also fall into the hands of the king.

    Regarding this terrible situation, these nobles naturally do not want to see it. They are used to freedom. How can they put their fate in the hands of others, not even the king.

    After Crozes and other nobles had left the palace, Achilles finally showed a bright smile. He looked at Sophia and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, among these nobles, there are those who have far-sighted eyes."  , there are so many."Sophia also smiled and nodded and said: "It seems that we still underestimated these nobles. Now Crozes and other nine great nobles have given up their rights, coupled with the support of Zomokos and others,  Now Thessaly is actually in your hands, and the resistance to the next innovation will be infinitely weakened."
