My name is Ren

Chapter 559 No ruler can restrain the thoughts of any ordinary person in any way
Empress Pars is not an ordinary fan. From the day she was born, she began to receive education from Emperor Orlando VI, teaching her how to become a successful emperor.All kinds of power tactics, as well as the methods of dealing with various problems, are included in this kind of education.

For example, in the current situation, she knew that Ren would not speak first and thus lose the initiative, so why would she speak first and give the initiative to Ren?As an emperor who can't even take the initiative in getting along with his courtiers and nobles, then this emperor is a failed emperor.In this case, Vito's role came to the fore, which was one of the reasons why Queen Pars kept him.

There must be a third party between two powerful people, so that the relationship between the two parties can be well balanced, so that the two parties will not give up an inch and break up unhappy.

Vito also understood his mission. He sat opposite Ren with a wry smile, glanced at Queen Pars calmly, and said: "The general trend of the Northern Expedition cannot be shaken, but the issue of Grand Duke Joan must also be resolved as soon as possible." Solve it, otherwise it will be hard to say whether it will affect the result of the Northern Expedition." People's hearts do exist in this empire. "People's hearts" are too far away.

Even in ancient times in another world, there was a saying that the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and it was even more obvious in this feudal society with the canonization system.Commoners in noble territories recognize the existence of the royal family, but the target of their allegiance is often the real ruler of the territory, that is, their lord.They do respect the royal family, but it is obviously impossible to sacrifice their own interests for the royal family.

Since Treite promoted the liberation of civil rights and the outbreak of new ideas, the people's will gradually began to show its power, and the supreme rulers began to pay attention to it.

Grand Duke Joan of Arc massacred the city in anger over the loss of her son, and the impact is rapidly affecting the entire empire, especially the northern land.In the struggle between the nobles of the north and the imperial power in the mainland, most of the commoners chose to watch.Originally, the Northern Expedition had little to do with them. Driven by the general trend of the entire empire, it was the best result for these people not to stand on the side of the nobles.

However, after the massacre, an inexplicable sense of panic is spreading rapidly in the Northland. Coupled with the propaganda of people with good intentions, many civilians in the Northland are bewitched by the nobles to think that the empire does not pay much attention to their survival.People are social animals, and there is also a kind of "group thinking". When they have no ideas and firm positions, group thinking will dominate the thinking of most people.

The civilians began to fear the Northern Expedition. Fear would bring weakness, but it would also bring courage to resist.There is a mainstream thought that is spreading among the civilians, that is, the empire doesn't care about them at all, and some people even shouted that once the Northern Expedition succeeds, the empire may liquidate them.So far, this kind of statement has begun to have a market. Some northern civilians who had been watching the Northern Expedition from a neutral stand began to actively join the camp against the Imperial Northern Expedition.

Although they are just ordinary civilians, a family of ten or so people, with only a meager income and no special skills, they can make the entire northern resistance system more closely united.They can put more enthusiasm in production, help the nobles strengthen the city walls and defensive facilities, and actively respond to the call of the nobles and join the rebel army.

Once the entire Northland is closely united, the loose northern aristocratic group will become a rock that is difficult to chew. Even the Northern Expeditionary Army, which is clearly in the upper hand, may lose a few teeth.

Therefore, Grand Duke Joan of Arc must be dealt with seriously, so that the civilians in the North will know that the empire has not abandoned them, treats them equally, without the slightest prejudice, and there will be no liquidation after the war.

But the premise is that Grand Duke Joan must bow his head and plead guilty, and accept the trial of the empire.

This involves a problem, who will solve this matter?

Grand Duke Joan of Arc, as a nobleman who protected Emperor Orlando V and made amazing contributions in the civil war that year, her prestige among the noble class is amazing, and at the same time, she has strong strength-she is the queen in the feudal country. Without violating the Imperial Charter, she can create various laws according to her own preferences.This kind of power, which is almost infinitely close to dictatorship, brings enormous strength.

It is not an easy task to bring Grand Duke Joan back to the imperial capital for trial.

Especially now that she is crazy, it is even more difficult, because crazy people often have the urge to self-destruct, and no one knows what she will do.

Ren thought about it, and this matter can be said to be easy to solve, or it can be said to be difficult to solve.

The best solution lies with Grand Duke Joan of Arc, no, it should be said that the highly unified opinion of the entire empire is that Grand Duke Joan of Arc must pay the price for her tragic massacre of the city—if nothing else happens, it will probably be the death penalty.Then ignore the process in the middle, as long as Grand Duke Joan of Arc dies, then this matter will be over.

It is difficult to say that it is difficult to solve, because the result that the entire empire needs is also a certain process, which is very embarrassing.To capture Grand Duke Joan of Arc from her fiefdom and return to the imperial capital, unless she is facing all the troops that just defeated her, at least three cities must be conquered before she can be captured from her throne and brought back to the imperial capital.

So is it impossible to do this?
The answer is no, if it is really handed over to Rennes, he is confident that he can definitely do it, but what are the benefits after it is done?
"It's hard to do." Ren moved his butt, pressed the elbow of his left hand on the armrest, and sat slightly sideways.

Empress Pars and Vito's eyes lit up at the same time, it was difficult to do, and it was impossible to do it without a single bite, which meant that Rennes could do it, and since it could be done, it seemed that this matter really had to be handed over Leave it to Ryan to finish.And now Rennes hasn't made a statement yet, he is asking for benefits.

Queen Pars is very clear about this, and Vito is also very clear. If he really doesn't want to do this, he can say that he can't do it.It's not a shameful thing if you can't do it. After all, you are facing a top aristocrat like Grand Duke Joan who ruled the three emperors, and you can't do it without shame.

He said that it is difficult to do, so how can we make it difficult to do it?

Then it depends on what price Queen Pars wants to offer.

By this time, Vito was useless. Empress Pars looked at Vito, and Vito stood up unwillingly, and bowed slightly, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with, so leave A while." As he spoke, he nodded to Ren, then turned around and bowed to Queen Pars, and left quickly.

When there were only Ren and Empress Pars in the entire hall, the atmosphere eased a lot. Of course, the most credit here is that it was basically agreed that Ren would be responsible for solving this difficult problem, which made Empress Pars look angry. It looks a lot better.

Queen Pars stepped down from the throne, a long black and gold floral dress showing her dignity and temperament, she walked and swayed to the sofa beside Ren and sat down, the two were very far away close.Queen Pars looked at Ren with complicated eyes, with some hatred and pity.It's really a pity and hateful that such a capable person can't contribute his strength to himself willingly.

"Make an offer." Queen Pars's plump lips parted slightly, exhaling a faint fragrance, but what she said was really straightforward.

Ren asked back: "I helped you solve such a big trouble, so what are you going to give me?"

Both of them were reluctant to reveal their own prices. On the one hand, they were afraid that the asking price would be lower than the other party's psychological price, and at the same time, they did not want the other party to test their low prices.The two of them are not like the great nobles who ruled the empire at all, but like businessmen negotiating for even a tiny bit of benefit.

Sometimes the line between merchants and nobles is not so clear.

Queen Pars won't be fooled, she said with a smile, "I'm not sure if you are satisfied with what I gave you, why don't you say it first, and I'll refer to it."

Someone has to start first. Ren thought for a while and said, "What you promised me last time has not been fulfilled until now."

In the previous two times, Queen Pars had intentionally or unintentionally stated that she would raise Rennes' title, and then give some privileges, as well as more shares of the Tiberium crystal veins that Rennes requested.However, Queen Pars did not fulfill these promises in the end, and the reason is very simple. Although Renn completed the task she gave her well, it also caused her a lot of trouble, so the merits and demerits were balanced, and Mao did not have a single root.

This sentence was just a preliminary test, and Queen Pars nodded knowingly, "As long as you promise that you will be able to solve this matter successfully, then I can issue a canonization order now, Marquis .As for the share of the Tiberium crystal vein you want, I can squeeze out another [-]% of the share."

Ren shook his head decisively, "Not enough, at least 5.00%!"

Queen Pars's eyes widened all of a sudden, "What are you kidding? 5.00%? How much do I have?"

Ren laughed and looked at Queen Pars with a smile. In fact, Queen Pars was playing tricks.It is true that each beneficiary has not much share in the share of mine veins in Bell Province, after all, there are too many people who enjoy these shares.However, one fact cannot be ignored. With the betrayal of Isaac and Pelagos, the share held by the De Kochman Chamber of Commerce has been nationalized.

What Ryan wants is this part of the share.
