0556: Promoted To Second Duke.
The autumn wind is blowing, in the courtyard of Xili District.
Qiao Ji sat in front of the main seat in the study, holding a cup of steaming tea and holding a document in the other hand.
It has been three days since Duke Pember's rebellion. This morning, Yurafi held a public trial against the rebellious nobles in Triumph Square.
Qiao Ji, Duke Yuwu and others also participated, and the public trial lasted until noon.
During the public trial.
The civilians and businessmen surrounding the Triumph Square were very excited, and they hated the person who provoked the war again.
Naturally, they hated the Duke of Pember who wanted to start another war, and they brought a lot of rotten eggs and mud to smash the nobles who were tied to the gallows.
With the previous experience of shouting, Yurafi is no longer cowardly when facing the civilians in the morning, but instead gives an impassioned speech.
Her impassioned speech made the civilians fall again, thinking that the new empress of the Golden Eagle Empire was thinking of them.
"My lord, since Duke Pan Bo was arrested, some nobles have settled down." Lian Xin made a wish with a cup of tea crystal.
Three days ago, Duke Pan Bo and the others were completely powerless against Qiao Ji's explosive crossbow spear.
The leather armor bodyguard formed by Qiao Ji in Beigang was not afraid of Duke Pan Bo's treasure at all, and captured all the nobles who were about to escape.
The people sent out by the Misty Court have been watching the nobles. From the moment Duke Pan Bo was arrested, many nobles chose to leave the imperial capital.
They were afraid of being affected, or afraid of being liquidated by the empress afterwards, so they decided to temporarily hide in the territory.
"Keep an eye on those nobles who are trying to leave, and liquidate them when they find an opportunity." Qiao Ji ordered after taking a sip of tea.
He didn't want to let go of those nobles who had different intentions, otherwise, when he became the emperor in the future, these nobles would also act as demons.
Instead of waiting for them to develop slowly, it is better to clean them up when they have no strength. As long as they commit crimes, they will be liquidated.
"Yes`". Lian Xin nodded while holding the teacup in both hands.
Lei Nai looked at the treasures placed on the desk, and said crisply, "My lord, the empress actually gave us so many treasures.
The black cat girl is still holding a ring in her hand, which is the treasure of Tyon's ghost face—the shuttle ring.
Since Tyon's death, all his treasures have been confiscated and stored in the palace, and this time Duke Pamper is no exception.
The reason why Yurafi distributed some treasures to Qiao Ji was equivalent to a reward. After all, it was the boy's explosive crossbow that was able to successfully take down Duke Pember this time.
Duke Yuwu also received two treasures, one for healing and one for attacking.
"Now that the lord is a duke, the rewards will naturally be more." Lian Xin said immediately.
That's right, during the public trial of Duke Pamper this morning, Inlafi rewarded Buji on the spot.
Award Qiao Ji as a second-class duke, and at the same time award 30 cities and a quota of 8,000 knights.
"I thought it would be a first-class duke." Lei Nai put down the treasure and said softly.
The black cat girl felt that the lord had paid so much and helped the princess become an empress. It was a bit too low to award only a second-class duke.
"The empress did this because she didn't want the lord to be criticized all at once. Many people don't know what the lord has paid for the empire, especially some nobles."
Lian Xin couldn't help rolling her eyes when she thought of those nobles, and said coldly, "But being an empress is not free at all, there are so many things to consider."
"The second-class duke is fine, and it won't be long before Yin is promoted to the tenth-class duke." Qi Ji waved his hand calmly.
But because of this incident, he planned to wait until he came to the throne, and then slowly abolish the nobility and slavery.
Qiao Ji was promoted to the second-class duke this time because of his great service, and those nobles couldn't say anything.
Moreover, this time the award is the same as last time. When the princess became the empress, she was awarded the title of third-class duke. Now that the rebellion of the duke of Fanyou has been suppressed, she will be promoted to a higher class.
"It's so troublesome, if the lord becomes the emperor in the future, do you have to think so much?" Lei Nai asked, blinking Black's eyes slowly.
"Yeah, things won't necessarily decrease after becoming emperor, but more." Qiao Ji reached out and scratched the black cat girl's nose.
Lei Nai narrowed Black's eyes, and said thoughtfully, "It seems to be true, the Lord has been so busy before becoming the Great Emperor, and will definitely be even busier after becoming the Great Emperor.
Qiao Ji just smiled lightly, glanced at the treasures and said, "Put away these treasures, and reward them to your subordinates later."
"""Yes." Rei Nai nodded.
"By the way, Lei Nai, by the way, give this document to Agnelli so that he can start selecting knights." Yang Ji picked up a document from the left side of the desktop and handed it over.
Lei Nai took a look at the document and said softly, "That's right, the lord has become a second-class duke, and the number of knights he can have will be even greater."
But even if Qiao Ji hadn't become a duke, he still had quite a few knights. Of course, he wasn't referring to formal knights on the surface.
The number of official knights on the surface of Qiao Ji is 1,500, but now the number of knights on the surface can be expanded to 8,000.
The number of knights behind him is more than 20,000, which is stronger than some grand dukes.
Coupled with the weapons that Qiao Ji possesses, even if he ascends the throne to manage the Golden Eagle Empire now, he won't have to struggle.
"In this way, the candidate knights who were not selected before will have another chance. They should have been waiting for the lord Jin Meng." Lian Xin covered her mouth and smiled.
Those who have not become Qiao Ji's official knights, their treatment will not be bad, but they are not official knights after all.
Some people are particularly obsessed with the word "official knight", otherwise they would not want to become knights in various ways.
"After the selection of 8,000 knights, Agnelli will have to recruit new talents." Huan Ji said, taking a sip of his tea.
Before ascending to the throne of the great emperor, he must accumulate as much strength as possible, even if there is no major threat at present, he cannot be careless.
It is always more at ease to have sufficient combat power, and you will not be in a hurry in the face of emergencies in the future.
Yurafi, who is of royal blood, has attracted dissatisfaction from so many nobles after he ascended the throne, let alone this outsider fortunately.
"I'll hand it over to Agnelli right away." After finishing speaking, Lei Nai turned and left the study.
