    "Brother, don't worry!" Luo Lin patted his brother's arm gently: "They just hate Songcan too much." "Songcan?" Luo Qin repeated the familiar name and asked curiously  Said: "What did this Song Shen do? Did he kill their father like Meng Ji?" "No!" Luo Lin shook her head. At this time, her mind suddenly flashed back to what Chen Zaixing said not long ago.  She said a sentence - "Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents!" She was slightly startled, and then whispered: "But that's about it!" "Then this Song Shen is really a Rakshasa. He killed such a person in the Privy Council.  The father of many people!" Luo Qin exclaimed.  Luo Lin smiled slightly and ignored her brother's words. She now began to understand the meaning of what Chen Zaixing had said to her a few days ago.  Indeed, compared to millions of self-sufficient peasants, thousands of arrogant nobles are much more disadvantageous to the king. At this time, a seed called power sprouted in the little girl's heart, although now this  The bud is still very young, but over time, it will eventually grow into a towering tree.  Luo Lin winked at the attendant on the side. The understanding attendant took two steps forward and struck the teak floor twice hard with the end of the scepter in his hand. The loud sound immediately resounded throughout the hall, and the noise of the MPs immediately  He fell silent and looked towards the throne where the king and the eldest princess were.  "My loyal nobles, I cannot agree to your proposal!" Luo Lin's voice paused slightly: "The reason is very simple. Not long ago, I had issued an order to appoint Song Shen as the governor of Central Myanmar.  At the same time, he also pardoned his past crimes. He also repaid my trust with his actions. Without him, the British will not be defeated. If I agree to your request, it will be equivalent to vetoing my own order. This is.  Impossible!" There were expressions of astonishment on the faces of the nobles, but soon anger took control of them again, and the whole hall was immediately filled with rude shouts.  A monk shouted loudly: "Songshen killed Samantabhadra and defiled the sacred temple. This is a blasphemy against Buddhism. Even the king cannot forgive such crimes!" "The king can forgive all crimes!"  Luo Lin retorted loudly. At this time, she seemed to be controlled by an invisible elf. She was not as weak as usual. She looked at the nobles below who were shouting at her, stood up, and grabbed the attendant.  With the golden scepter in his hand, he struck the ground twice with the end of it, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Guards, guards!" Soon, there was a rhythmic and heavy footsteps outside the hall, and the nobles were shocked.  Seeing a group of New Army soldiers wearing military uniforms and holding rifles with sharp bayonets appearing at the door, the fearful cold wind suddenly froze their tongues, and the hall quickly calmed down. Luo Qin looked aside in surprise.  sister, as if recognizing her for the first time.  Luo Lin's soft face now looked heroic and had a masculine beauty.  Luo Lin handed the scepter to the attendants on the side and said loudly: "Nobles, I don't like to remind you of the noble status of our siblings in this way. Please remember that our power comes from our sacred blood. Any  Those who dare to question the king's power will be punished by the law in the world, and they will not find peace in death. I can forgive you this time, but don't think of my tolerance as weakness! " There was a dead silence in the hall, except for the occasional soldiers holding weapons.  With a slight collision, the nobles in the Privy Council felt for the first time that their lives were so fragile, especially since the senior monk who loudly questioned the power of Her Majesty the Princess had been so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled all over.  Luo Lin looked at him coldly and continued: "Nobles, I understand your anger, but we have to face reality. No matter how you punish Song Shen, it is impossible to recover your losses. There are already thousands of  Many farmers have fled the estates, and a considerable number of them have weapons. Apart from violence, it is impossible for them to return to the estates and hand over the land and property they have obtained. The use of violence means a civil war in Myanmar.  It is impossible for the kingdom to have another civil war now!¡± The nobles continued to remain silent, but some of the smarter nobles had begun to consider what Luo Lin had just said. As Luo Lin said, killing Song Shen would not allow the peasants to do so.  He put down his weapons obediently and returned to the noble manor tamely, but could that be the end of it?  Could it be that Her Majesty the Princess did not hesitate to use force in the Privy Council just to announce this fact to the nobles?  "A wise man once said; 'Fools always regret past mistakes, while wise people look for new opportunities!' The king is like a scale, neither leaning to one side nor that side. Although the kingdom cannot  Issue a decree to force the peasants to return to their former manors, but they can find ways to compensate the nobles for their losses." After Luo Lin said this, he paused and continued: "The peasants can get freedom and land.??, but they must pay a monetary price to their masters for the freedom and land they received!  "The Privy Council Hall was boiling again. This time, even the bayonets of the guards outside the door could not suppress the anger of the nobles. For the vast majority of the nobles, this was simply a bolt from the blue. In the history of the Kingdom of Burma  , the nobles and the kings have always maintained such a relationship: the nobles recognize the king¡¯s supreme right to rule, but the king cannot interfere with the nobles¡¯ power over the land and people in their own territories. In other words, the nobles also  A king. Maybe some powerful kings have interfered with the territorial affairs of a certain noble in history, but there has never been such an act of simply uprooting the noble territorial system. ¡°No, absolutely not!  "A noble councilor shouted loudly: "God created the king with his head, the nobles with his chest, the peasants with his knees, and the slaves with his feet.  The knees cannot jump above the chest. Nobles are born to own land and farmers. This is the foundation of the kingdom.  If you admit that peasants can also own land, what is the difference between peasants and nobles?  So why does the king have authority over all things?  " "Yes, we will never agree!  " "I would rather die than agree. The sacred land must not be exchanged for dirty money!  "The nobles shouted angrily, and many people began to crowd towards the king and the eldest princess on the high place. The palace attendants hurriedly lined up in a human wall to block them. The nobles who could not climb to the high platform even picked up whatever they could find at hand.  Throw it at the eldest princess and the king on the high platform. "Sister, I'm scared!"  "Luo Qin cowered up in fear. The roars from the high platform and the ink bottles and wooden blocks that kept falling next to the throne reminded him of that night of gunfire. "Luo Qin, you are the king, you can't back down!  "Luo Lin grabbed his brother's arm tightly to prevent him from escaping, and shouted loudly to the attendants beside him: "Guards, let the guards in!"  "Suddenly, Luo Lin shook and fell to the ground. She covered her face with her hands in pain, and blood flowed from her white fingers. "Your Majesty, you are injured!  " "Doctor, where is the doctor?  " "Sister, sister!  " There was chaos on the high platform. The exclamations of the palace attendants were mixed with the frightened cries of the king. "Shut up!  "Luo Lin gritted her teeth and stood up again. Her right cheek was already covered with blood. She looked very scary. But what was even more shocking was her pair of eyes that were blazing with anger: "It's just an ink bottle, not an ink bottle.  Musketeers, blow the trumpet quickly, let the guards come in, and disperse the nobles!  " "Yes, yes, Your Majesty!  "The attendant stammered and turned to play the trumpet. Luo Lin turned around and walked to Luo Qin, squatted down, stared into the king's eyes, stretched out his blood-stained hand and touched his brother's cheek, and said softly:"  Luo Qin, the king has no right to panic, he must get used to blood and pain!  " Luo Qin didn't speak. With tears in his eyes, he nodded slowly. With the sound of shrill brass horns, the guards rushed into the hall and began to disperse the nobles with gun butts and wooden sticks. The wooden sticks hit people's faces.  The dull sounds and curses from the palace immediately filled the entire Privy Council Hall. The sculptures of the Burmese kings on the walls of this building looked dull, and their empty eyes were cast into the hall, staring at everything they heard.  In the lobby of Xiaowei Mansion, Zao Guoquan and Chen Zaixing were sitting opposite each other. Judging from the expressions on their faces and the constant laughter, the conversation they were having was very relaxed and pleasant. ¡°It¡¯s not good, it¡¯s not good.  !  "A voice came in from outside. Before the voice fell, Liu Zhixing was seen rushing in from outside. "There are all our Dashun elite soldiers outside Mandalay City. Why is Brother Zhixing so panicked?  "Zhao Guoquan smiled. "Master Xiaowei, something big has really happened!  "Liu Zhixing stumbled and said: "The eldest princess and His Majesty the King were besieged by the nobles in the Privy Council, but the guards dispersed the nobles!  "    "What?  "Zhao Guoquan and Chen Zaixing stood up suddenly. Chen Zaixing asked first, "Is there anything wrong with your majesties?  " "His Majesty the King is fine, but His Majesty the Eldest Princess was hit on the head, but after examination by the doctor, he said he was fine, just bleeding a little.  "Speaking of this, Liu Zhixing sighed: "But the eldest princess looks timid, but she is actually a ruthless character. If she hadn't made a prompt decision to let the guards in, I'm afraid things would have been unimaginable.  " Neither Zao Guoquan nor Chen Zaixing spoke. Zao Guoquan's face was livid, but Chen Zaixing's expression was different. After a moment, Zao Guoquan asked in a low voice: "What is going on? Why do those good nobles gather in a crowd?  Besieging the two majesties?  " "Before I came, I asked a few familiar members of the parliament, and it seemed thatHer Majesty the Princess wanted to issue a decree to allow farmers to purchase land and freedom through redemption, but the nobles immediately broke out!  " "So that's the case, no wonder, this is trying to touch the roots of the nobility!  "Zhao Guoquan nodded, sighed and said: "This eldest princess is not simple. She has such knowledge at a young age. This is really the only way to solve the chaos in Myanmar.  It's just that he's still young and behaves prudently.  There are so many people involved in something like this, how can it be accomplished overnight?  As long as we have completed all the hard work of external military preparation, internal affairs and civil affairs, the final success or failure is still between us.  "Liu Zhixing nodded: "Master Xiaowei is indeed a veteran in planning for the country. It must be that the eldest princess has an expert around her to give her advice, but after all, she has recently ascended the throne and there are no trusted veterans around her to plan for her, so she got into trouble like this!  " As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sound, but it was Chen Zaixing who stood up and knocked down the tea cup on the coffee table beside him. Chen Zaixing was seen walking away quickly without even saying goodbye.
