House of Parliament.

The solemn atmosphere makes every visitor extremely serious.

The royal descendants of the House of Lords, hereditary nobles, government officials and southern mainland colonial agents have all arrived.

Most of them behave elegantly, wearing noble clothes that only this class can wear, with exquisite embroidery floating on the surface.

Even if those cloaks or long skirts were dragged on the ground, completely enveloping people in thick clothes, and some of them didn't fit so well that people's faces turned red, no one was willing to change their glory.

This is the etiquette that belongs only to the nobles.

Compared with discomfort, decency is more important than anything else.

Compared with the old aristocrats who tend to dress retro, the representatives of the House of Commons are elected by the people of various places. There are representatives of the emerging bourgeoisie who bring huge wealth, and there are local officials who benefit one side.

Most of these people are well-known doers who were trusted by the people and elected to the parliament.

Compared with the House of Lords, most of them wore refined and indirect suits and swallowtails, and uniformly wore a heavy top hat, which made the original solemn atmosphere even more solemn, and they didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

The most front seat in the House of Lords is undoubtedly the Duke of Weimar. He is a figure who can speak in the House of Lords on the side of the aristocratic forces.

The land and wealth of this ancient Baia family is also the reason why the old duke has the confidence to speak.

Sitting opposite him is the leader of the Conservative Party in the cabinet and the current Prime Minister, Thilo Sollens, who is the most spiritual person present.

After the "King's perpetual motion machine" incident, the original rumors of his impeachment have long since disappeared, and he is still firmly seated as the prime minister.

A few days ago, the Lantis border guards were operating on the Baia border, and there was a lot of wind and rain before the war.

But in the few days since the war madman came back, many operations stunned everyone.

As a diplomat, he quickly formed an alliance with the easternmost Sa Loren Empire with the speed of fighting fires, and opened trade stations with several small countries.

Not interfering with Sa Loren's interests in the Far East, he readily exchanged for peace for many years to come, and gained a powerful ally.

The most important thing is that once there is a war with Landis, there is no need to deploy troops to guard the border to the east.

The second thing is to win over the Kingdom of Ryan, which has become a climate in the west.

The incident of William II spread throughout the Northern Continent. Prime Minister Sorens justified his inability to open up colonies in the Southern Continent on the grounds that his national strength was seriously depleted, so as to show his favor to the Ryan royal family.

From then on, the Baia Kingdom voluntarily withdrew from the contention for the remaining colonies, and the remaining land was exchanged to several other big countries.

So far, the strongest allies on the east and west lines have isolated Landis, and in the next few years they will compete for interests in the southern continent, naturally forming a contradiction.

In Thilo's view, political-diplomatic negotiation is the art of compromise,

The purpose of temporary regression is to make better progress.

Although, there are many people who are dissatisfied with this, including His Majesty the King who has ambitions all over the world. In their eyes, the policy of reducing colonial rule is equivalent to self-defeating martial arts, and it is an act of not making progress.

But it was precisely because of Prime Minister Sorens' move that the restless Landis finally withdrew its minions.

Within a day, the border guards were all withdrawn west of the border.

Under the premise that the interests have been divided, the price of another knife is to fight at least three major powers at the same time on both the east and west fronts, which is neither reasonable nor dominant.

"Ahh~"

A heavy sneeze rang out, and sitting in the middle of the council seat was a pale young king in poor condition.

The past few days were really not smooth for William II.

Ever since he was tricked by that bastard, he was so angry that he fell into a coma with a high fever and almost killed him.

This is not the most abominable thing, the thing that makes him the most uncomfortable is the word of mouth of the wise leader Mingjun in the past few years, which collapsed into a mess in an instant.

Not only was it ridiculed by the people, but it became a joke that could be recorded in history among the countries of the Northern Continent.

All the hard work he had put in in the past was gone in an instant because of one mistake.

William II lined his chin with his hand, and asked absently, "What are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, the reform of the new law should now have a result."

Mr. Prime Minister who spoke, once again submitted the new law that he had changed countless times.

"Don't look at it, just do it like this."

This time William II didn't be willful again, and directly agreed.

After this incident, his reputation among the people has fallen to the bottom, and it is a good way to please the people with the welfare bill.

After the bill passed, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing you need to decide."

The speaker was the leader of the Labor Party, and he looked carefully at the color of William II, "Last night, an enemy from abroad invaded the Catalan Prison, and it seemed that they were targeting the prisoner, Tufu.

Unfortunately, a guard team was completely wiped out, and Tu Fu himself was seriously injured. "

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the news, William II's eyes lit up immediately,

The sluggish expression just now became energetic.

If he hadn't been concerned about so many people, he would probably have been so excited to ask how the person was injured and whether he was dead now.

"People are reporting this incident, twelve states have sent delegations to the capital, and the Seven Schools Alliance has also protested against it, and the protest in Göttinghagen is the loudest.

If he is not released again, they will form a protest group of 100,000 people to hold a parade in Göttinghagen... If Tu Fu really dies in prison, Baia will really turn upside down. "

The voices of the Labor leader's words faded in the background.

Because William II's face was so ugly that it was already wrinkled, there was no doubt that he would have the urge to lift the table if he continued.

"Your Majesty, why not start the voting process, and let the two houses decide whether Tu Fu should be released or not."

After watching for a long time, Thilo Thorens spoke slowly, and put forward a reasonable proposal, a method that could save the king's face and reputation.

"it is good."

William II gritted his teeth and agreed, "But the voting process must be open. Voters raise their hands. Only when the voting rate exceeds 80% can people be released."

The purpose of this rather harsh condition is very simple, it is to let the supporters reveal their identities in front of him, and he will now write down the names of those who dare to sing the naysayer.

But after the words fell, someone in the House of Lords had reached out and completely despised his authority.

It was the Duke of Weimar. The middle-aged man raised his hand without any hesitation.

He didn't care about William II's revenge. He was well-informed about the matter of Tu Fu saving his precious daughter. He had already received the news, and made a decision without hesitation after the voting session started.

"Sir." William II stared at him with a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, the Weimar family always repays favors."

The Duke of Weimar has no expression on his face, he is not afraid of the so-called revenge.

After he voted, the House of Lords raised their hands one after another. The upper-level families were originally a one-line interest group. After the head of the group made a decision, the entire Baier noble group had an answer.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

In an instant, more than half of the votes in the House of Lords alone were on the resolution to release Tu Fu.

As for the House of Commons, needless to say, people raised their hands one after another. They are representatives elected by the people. The purpose of coming here is to explain the voice of the bottom like the above.

And there was only one voice at the bottom, Tu Fu was acquitted.

The forces behind the House of Commons are different. It is unusual to be able to unify the right to speak at this moment. This made William II see some clues.

There are not many people who can integrate the power of the House of Commons. After he saw the clue, he squinted and stared at Thilo Thorens,

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, Tu Fu is just an ignorant child. As a child, he will make mistakes. As long as he is willing to correct, there is nothing that cannot be forgiven."

After Prime Minister Sorens finished speaking, he raised his hand in agreement with a smile, "So, I am willing to vote for him."

His team also immediately unified the three major parties in the cabinet. Counting the number of people in the two houses of parliament who supported the release of Tu Fu, the total number probably exceeded 80%.

Such proportions are unprecedented.

This is public opinion. When all voices converge, even the king has to consider the consequences of nonsense.

"The duke, the prime minister, members of the three parties, who else, why not stand up together." William II's face was stern, and he had no intention of fulfilling his promise at all.

"Your Majesty, I also agree."

At this time, a discordant voice among the members of the royal family broke the deadlock.

It was Friedrich William. After hesitating again and again, he sighed softly, and his raised palm was very conspicuous on the side of the royal court.

His Royal Highness, who was almost deposed, would use his last bit of strength to help the person who saved his life, even at the risk of danger.

Finally, the last solid force on the royal side was completely disintegrated, because Friedrich stepped forward, and members of the royal family raised one hand, two hands, and more and more hands... The last party in the field also showed that attitude.

The battle for the throne is not just the appointment and removal of the previous king, but also the inspection of the cabinet.

Now that all the members have expressed their views, it is not worth the loss to stand against the public at this time.

The third prince's rebellion became the last straw that overwhelmed William II. Even his own son stood on the opposite side of him at this moment.

"Traitors, all are rebels!"

In the huge Capitol, only the angry roar of William II echoed on the roof.

...

Tu Fu, who was still lying in the Catalan prison, was like a salted fish without dreams, lying on the bed doing nothing, and the wounds on his body were scabbed with blood.

"Mr. Capet, please."

"Eat something even if you don't heal."

"Drink some water."

Tu Fu's aggressive behavior made all the jailers panic.

If this man really dies in Catalan Hell, not only will they be stabbed in the back by neighbors when they return home, even the officials of the judicial system will not let them go.

But the attitude of this life-and-death disobedience made this group of jailers even more humble than criminals.

I beg my grandpa to tell my grandma to tell him that no matter what happens, please be strong and live on.

He remained silent on all this.

What really changed Tu Fu's attitude was the afternoon of the second day after he was assassinated. The news of the arrival of a big man gave his decadent thoughts a shot in the arm.

"After eating something to heal your wounds, change into a set of clean clothes. After all, you have to look decent when you go out."

A man with a thick voice came from outside the prison, and the obvious scar on his face was very recognizable.

Previously, Tu Fu would never have thought that Prime Minister Sollens would come here to meet him in person.

After hearing these words, Tu Fu immediately understood that there was a turning point in the matter, and got up and widened his eyes: "Sir, they decided to let me go, right?"

"Yes, you can go." The latter nodded and said "but" before Tu Fu cheered clearly.

"But His Majesty promised to let you out, and there is one condition, which is the basic requirement for your survival."

"I think I'm ready."

"His reputation took a huge hit after this incident, it was inevitable.

His Majesty declared in the parliament that he could let you go, but he didn't want to see you in Göttinghagen, or even in the Kingdom of Baia. Thilo Sollens added:

"For at least two years, you can't go back to Baia."

Hearing this harsh additional condition, Tu Fu's eyes changed from longing to doubt. After a brief struggle, he finally accepted that this was already the best ending.

"it is good."

Tu Fu nodded invisibly, which meant that he agreed with this decision.

A child who has made a mistake always has to apologize unabashedly for himself.

perhaps.

This is the price of freedom.

While going through the procedures for release from prison, the prison doctor also treated the shocking injuries on his body, and the guards carefully put on a new set of clothes for him.

From the moment I stepped out of the foot prison, the sun was rarely seen on this cold winter day,

The light was perfect, and Tu Fu was forced to stretch out his hand to block the sunlight in front of him, but he couldn't help but glance at it a few times.

that light,

It's so dazzling!
