All Things Wrong

At night, the palace of God's Blessed City, the main city of mankind. Anthony, the new king, looked at the report he had just sent. To be honest, Anthony had a real headache. Though he knew his brotherhood would cause trouble, he didn't expect it to cause such trouble. Just on the first day of his tenure, Anthony here received a report from his own intelligence, and his brother Wylin, because he was unused, dragged a whole bunch of people from the Second Corps directly to work for him.

The first time Anthony saw this side of the report, he didn't think about how irregular it was, but how to mix it up. If the following ministers knew about this report, they would definitely shell Li Wylin, maybe even say how to rebel or something. Anthony knows how much these ministers can pull, and in order to fight political enemies, anything small can be said.

Think about your side of the responsibility, Li Wylin took over the area of Filmt, all his men were cut off, and he didn't think of sending him some civilian personnel problems, but Li Wylin is really doing this, no one knows and wants a little...

But now that it has happened, Antony on this side waved to keep this information hidden. Anyway, it has already happened. Let the second legion do it first. Anyway, the second legion belongs to Li Huilin.

Thought there should be nothing wrong after handling the matter, but less than a few days later, something happened over there in Lancaster, and this time it was even more exaggerated, even Anthony's side saw a surprise.

“70%?” When Anthony got the report, it was almost the end of taxes. When he saw the 70% tax rate, Anthony took a sip of cool air. How dare you collect 70% of taxes? Are you really afraid of the civilian rebellion down there?

“What now...” Anthony, sitting in his office, squeezed his nose, could not really hide it this time, because according to intelligence, many ministers are already aware of the situation and are ready to shell Li Huilin tomorrow at the morning meeting. As to why the Minister would know, it was mainly some of the little lords of Lancaster who reported Lee Wylin. They didn't expect to really collect the tax, but it turned out to be more than they imagined. Almost all the villagers paid the tax with joy. As a result, the food was piled up in warehouses and the gold coins were collected in boxes. But this had nothing to do with them. All of this stuff had to be handed over. Seeing this situation, many people were blind, so they stabbed the minister they knew in the City of Divine Blessing.

“Your Highness, it's late. Aren't you resting?” Troubled, the door opened and Queen Marina slowly walked in.

Seeing Marina's appearance, Anthony's eyes lit up on this side. The more recently she got along, the more she felt that Marina was indeed a natural queen, and that she was very good with herself, and very capable. No matter what questions she asked, she was able to talk to her. Now she was having a headache, so she was just talking to Marina.

“70% tax rate? Are you kidding me?" I heard Anthony say that Marina over here was also shocked, and 70 percent of the tax rate was no joke.

“My brother is no joke.” Anthony grinned, “What now? ”

“If it's not handled well, the North will be in turmoil.” Marina over here said immediately.

“Don't worry about that, I don't know why, according to the information coming back, all the local residents paid taxes…" said Anthony on this side.

“Huh? How did this happen?” Marina looked amazed, and the new Duke died flying, and nothing happened?

“I don't know, anyway, Wylin always has his way, and he hasn't made a mistake so far. I'm sure he always has his thoughts, but the question is, now the ministers will definitely wreak havoc on him in the morning... what should we do?” Anthony said.

“Your Highness means to protect the Duke of Aquitan this time, too?” Marina asked.

“Of course, I'm just one brother.” Anthony said immediately.

“Theoretically, since the Lancaster region has been sealed to the Duke of Aquitan, it doesn't matter how much tax the other side collects in their own territory. Since all residents have paid their taxes, as long as there is no civil unrest, the Empire cannot find a direct reason to sanction him, so long as His Highness grabs this, it should be fine.” Marina thought about it.

“What if there's a civil commotion?” Anthony asked.

“Trouble is, if the lord fails to govern the land allocated to him, then the king has the power to retrieve the map, and if there is genuine civil strife, the ministers will surely have His Majesty the King retrieve Lancaster.” Marina said.

“Looks like it's still on Wylin's side.” In that case, "Anthony said," we'll drag it down tomorrow for that reason, and we'll figure it out when there's a real civil commotion. ”

“The Duke of Aquitan is really... 70% of the tax, what does he suddenly ask for so much money for...” Marina on this side complained suddenly.

“Yeah...” said Anthony on this side. "Anyway, 70% is a little too much. Wylin really, always does things that no one understands. ”

“I always thought the Duke of Aquitan was too good to do anything. Even if this thing went through, I wondered if something else would happen later.” Marina over here was worried, "she said.

“I can't help it, he's not Wylin without...” Anthony here smiled bitterly, "Forget it, Marina, let's go rest. ”

“Mm-hmm." Marina nodded.

Pretty soon it was the early morning hours of the next day, and now it's the founding stage, so there's so much going on, so it's basically one morning, less than 8: 00 in the morning, and Anthony here is ready to start working on his business, and I heard that today's ministers came very early, and I knew what it was for.

“Is there something wrong, gentlemen?” Anthony looked at the ministers below and said.

“Your Highness! Yesterday we received a report that, in the Lancaster region, the new Lord Duke of Aquitan had imposed a 70 per cent tax rate on his territory, which was terrible.” A minister came out immediately and said.

“This is the case.” Anthony nodded and said, "Oh, I heard about that, too, but it seems the local residents didn't object either. ”

“Your Highness!” Prime Minister Mach suddenly took a step forward, "this matter is a very serious act, but it may have to shake the national capital, our new empire was just founded, it was the time to clean up the people's hearts, but the Duke of Aquitan's actions put us in the opposite direction of the people all of a sudden. ”

“Yes, Your Highness, this is no joke.” Another minister said.

Indeed, as I had expected, I saw Prime Minister Mach come out, and the ministers on this side stood up and said to Anthony.

“What do you say we do?” Anthony sighed and asked.

“What else can I do? The Duke of Aquitan has to give you a reward for doing this!” This one's thinking about Mach right away.

“I think Wylin did a little bit this time too... wait... what are you talking about?” Anthony is still following Mach's words, and suddenly something doesn't feel right about the award.

“I said I had to reward him.” Mach over here said.

“Award? Are you kidding me?” Anthony asked strangely.

“Your Royal Highness, the Duke of Aquitan is charging a 70% tax rate. Do this kind of blame on the Jews. This is a big impression of the development of the Empire. If the lords everywhere imitate the Duke of Aquitan, then the newly established Empire is not in big trouble. Should you not be rewarded for this behavior?” Mach on this side takes a step forward and says forcefully.

“Cough... are you sure?” Anthony was choked by Mach.

“Your Highness, there is nothing to hesitate about. Lord Aquitan's actions do not reward him properly once. Although I know that he and His Majesty are very close to each other, I hope that His Majesty will not be benevolent and give him harshly.” Mach raised his hand for a week after he finished.

“Subject reconsideration!” The next minister also said immediately.

“And you agreed to give him?” Anthony said in surprise.

“Your Majesty, that is necessary. A minister next to Mach said," Lord Aquitan's actions have hindered the development of the new empire and given him the necessity. ”

“Hoo-hoo...” Anthony sighed heavily, then lifted his forehead, "What the fuck is going on...”

“Your Highness, don't hesitate.” Mach on this side saw Anthony's delay and ordered him to step forward immediately, "If the Duke of Aquitan is not to be rewarded, where are the hearts and minds of the people and the majesty of the Empire! ”

“Wait... let me think about this first, okay? I don't know yet...” Anthony said.

“Please, Your Highness, make your decision quickly!” Mach over here said directly on his knees.

“Please, Your Highness, make your decision quickly!” The ministers next to them also immediately knelt down and shouted.

“What's this all about? Why?” To be honest, Anthony was supposed to bail out Li Wylin. In fact, Anthony had already made plans. Even if all the ministers blamed Li Wylin, he had to bail him out himself, but the situation was too strange. Why are all the ministers on Li Wylin's side? It felt like he was the only one who wanted to get into trouble with Li Wylin.

“Wylin... what have you done...” Anthony laughed bitterly, otherwise he would have saved a lot of money.

“In that case, I will listen to your opinions and give...”

Anthony here was just about to give the decree, and the leader of the First Legion at the door, Wilham, who had just been promoted to the rank of Marshal, suddenly rushed in.

“Your Highness, something terrible is wrong.” Wilham said hastily.

“What?” When Wilham came in, Anthony was heartbeat, and Wilham came looking for himself, which was definitely an army thing, and that must be a big deal.

“The Duke of Aquitan declares war between the Duke of Lancaster and our allied kingdom of the Elves.” Wilham said immediately.

“Huh?” Anthony looked stunned.
