Chapter 755 The Princess' Speech
"My fellow citizens of Lengyan Kingdom, good morning."
Standing on the podium, Ariel, with a fair face full of calmness and gentleness, said loudly to the densely packed crowd: "I am King Ariel, the nineteenth generation king of the Kingdom of Cold Flame, King Bird of Steel Wrist The daughter of the special king is also the fifth princess of the kingdom today."
Ariel had just said this, and the new citizens who were whispering in the audience suddenly fell silent.
I saw a pair of eyes that were originally full of doubt and confusion, but there was a touch of uncontrollable excitement.
Especially the new citizens standing in the front row, looking at Ariel's almost flawless delicate face, couldn't help but gasp in amazement, and even didn't want to blink anymore.
Standing in front of them is the absolute ruler of the Lengyan Kingdom, the fifth princess of the royal family, what a noble and elegant existence that is! What an unreachable existence that is!
But now, such a noble person actually appeared in front of them in person!
But they are just a group of extremely ordinary civilians. How can it be worthwhile for Her Royal Highness to speak to them in person?
However, the excitement didn't last long.
Not long after, the sudden excitement in the crowd was soon replaced by uncertainty and distrust, and even turned into guarded eyes.
You know, in the war that just ended not long ago, many of their relatives and friends took up their weapons and swung them fiercely at this high and mighty princess.
Now that the war has come to an end, will Her Royal Highness, the victor, take her anger out on them?
Furthermore, under the leadership of Her Royal Highness, the shackles on those free farmers have been removed.
Even if Her Highness the Princess doesn't personally act, but with the support of Her Highness the Princess, how can those free farmers who have been oppressed by them for a long time let them go so easily?
The most important thing is, how should the relatives and friends who died in the war be settled? !
Thinking of this in their hearts, the eyes of the new citizens are even more wary, they are all pricking up their ears, wanting to hear what Ariel will say next.
On the podium, Ariel's slender eyelashes flickered, and she immediately noticed the emotional changes of the crowd.
I saw the small crown on Ariel's head shining brightly, she still maintained a gentle expression, and said with a smile: "The reason why I am standing here today is for one thing, and that is to make a request to everyone, please Everyone agrees."
"Your Royal Highness, actually want to make a request to our insignificant new citizens who are even waving knives at each other?"
As soon as Ariel said this, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone began to look at each other in blank dismay, and then listened with even more curiosity.
"In fact, my request is very simple, that is, I hope that everyone will join me in building our own homeland to be more brilliant."
In Ariel's expression, there was a touch of yearning for the future, and the smile on her face was full of anticipation, and she said sincerely: "No matter what happened before, now I just want to be with everyone present. Go on unswervingly."
"So, did Her Royal Highness forgive me for our disrespectful behavior of swinging a knife at each other?!"
Hearing what Ariel said, the tension in the crowd was obviously relieved a little.
But the pair of eyes full of surprise and uncertainty are still full of vigilance.
Even if Her Royal Highness doesn't pursue it, what about those free farmers who have been reborn?
It is conceivable that those free farmers will definitely retaliate and bully them fiercely after they have the support of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Just as some of them did to the free farmers before the war.
"Everyone, I want you to understand one very important thing."
There was an undeniable majesty in Ariel's tone: "That is to say, in my eyes, there is no difference between you and free farmers."
"What I have been doing has not been biased towards any side. I just restored the rights that the free farmers originally had, that's all."
"If you have been treated unfairly, I will still fight **** battles for you until I free you from the shackles."
Although Ariel's crisp voice was gentle, it was powerful: "Because each of you is a citizen of my Lengyan Kingdom and an indispensable part of my Lengyan Kingdom!"
Ariel's words reached this point, and many people in the audience were obviously moved, and some of them even had tears in their eyes.
Before the end of the war, they still regarded Her Royal Highness as an enemy that must be eradicated, and they wished to eradicate them quickly, and then received rewards from the nobles who had previously entrenched here.
After the war ended, instead of blaming them for their rudeness and offense, Her Royal Highness, the victor, regarded them as an indispensable part of the kingdom, and was even willing to fight to protect them... This kind of How can the broad mind like a king not make them feel grateful?
"My fellow citizens of Lengyan, I have formulated relevant fair laws and started to implement them. If anyone among the Free Farmers dares to attack any of you, I will definitely punish them severely."
Ariel's dignified voice continued to echo in the square: "Conversely, if any of you continue to provoke Free Farmers, I will also bring them to justice."
After a pause, Ariel slowly emphasized: "In my eyes, whether it is you or the free farmers, they are my precious people. Anyone who dares to harm my people, no matter who they are, I They will never let him go!"
"I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to really treat us as one of my own. What kind of grace is this?"
Looking at Ariel's unwavering eyes, a considerable part of the crowd no longer had any hostility or confusion, and only gratitude and reverence remained in their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was hiding in the dark, nodded slightly.
"As expected of Ariel, every speech has never disappointed me."
Looking at Ariel's slender figure, which seemed to contain powerful strength, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly: "One of the most important reasons why Ariel is so bold is probably because of her The real ideal, right? The aspiration of the heart can make this princess Leng Yan shine in her eyes."
"However, if the speech is all sincere and has no routine, it cannot be regarded as a qualified leader. I have to teach her more later, otherwise she will not be able to bear the weight of a country even if she is on the throne. .
"Or it would be good to find two lords who are experts in psychology as consultants. Using modern psychology to enhance the power of the emperor may achieve unexpected results."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, but his eyes were still focused on Ariel.
"In short, since her ideal does not conflict with my goal, then as I have always done, what's the point in helping this naive Princess Lengyan realize her ideal?"
"Of course, the premise is that I can successfully defeat her ruthless brothers."
As Lei Xiao thought about it, his dark eyes moved, and then he focused his gaze on the crowd in the audience.
At this moment, it can be clearly seen that although a considerable number of new citizens have been persuaded, there are still quite a few, with resentment in their eyes, staring at Ariel on the stage.
"Presumably this part is the relatives and friends of those soldiers who died in battle?"
Lei Xiao frowned slightly again, and murmured in his heart: "I've explained my train of thought at the meeting before, and it depends on how Ariel melts the ice in the hearts of these people."
"... Everyone must have a question in their minds? Why did this war that just ended?"
I saw Ariel's expression was stern, and she said in a loud voice: "To tell you the truth, I also have this question in my heart. I was just struggling to survive in this corner of Kongqing Town with my guest, but it caused an unexpected death... disaster."
"There are some people who can't tolerate us, even a small Kongqing Town. Although not long ago, we tried our best to help General Bai repel the Holy Night Army, keep the mountain fortress, and avoid a war. Its a senseless killing, but there are still people who want to put me to death.
In Ariel's crisp voice, there was three points of helplessness, but seven points of firmness: "But even if the city is besieged by a large army, I never thought of giving up, because the people in Kongqing Town are just like you, they all have a strong sense of justice." They are my people, whom I have sworn to protect with my life."
"So I took up arms, so I chose to fight because I had no choice."
Ariel's voice gradually became high-pitched: "I think everyone has already understood that it was not me who broke the prelude to this war. I was just forced to get involved in the war and was forced to take up arms because There are people worthy of my protection, just like everyone here."
"And you, as well as those soldiers who waved their sharp knives at me, are equally innocent, and were also forced to be involved in this battle that should not have happened, and the real culprit is already very obvious, that is, entrenched in the The fallen nobles of this land."
On Ariel's fair and translucent face, there was a touch of irrepressible anger, and the small crown on the top of her head reflected a dazzling coldness under the bright sunlight.
"They were supposed to be the guardians of this land, and they were supposed to guard one side instead of the royal family, but now they personally let this land burn with flames of war, and sent their leaders to their graves with their own hands!"
"This kind of behavior is absolutely unforgivable, so I launched a counterattack. My guest minister and I led the soldiers under our command to punish them one by one on the spot, just to let the royal family's glory shine on this land again, and give this land a new lease of life. Bring dawn and hope!"
While Ariel was speaking, Lei Xiao noticed.
Those people who were full of resentment first fell into contemplation by coincidence, and then lowered their heads one after another. It seemed that they had already realized the real culprit.
This undoubtedly meant that Ariel's speech was indeed very successful.
"Even though the bloodthirsty demon is dead, those soldiers who were bewitched by the demon have become victims of the war."
"However, they are still the bravest fighters of my Lengyan, and they are still my subjects of Lengyan. Therefore, as the fifth queen of Lengyan, I will replace those fallen nobles and pay five times the normal pension. Distributed to every family member, it can be regarded as a slight expression of affection."
On the podium, Ariel sighed softly, and shook her head regretfully: "I will personally supervise every aspect of this matter, please rest assured."
Hearing that Her Royal Highness the Princess really intends to issue pensions, everyone couldn't help being stunned.
You know, Her Royal Highness is the target they intend to kill. This act of repaying hatred with kindness is simply embarrassing!
While sighing in their hearts, people all recalled the arrogant and cruel faces of those fallen nobles who used to be aloof.
If Her Royal Highness were replaced by those people, I'm afraid I would have already been decapitated, right? This gap is self-evident!
And just as Her Royal Highness said, the so-called new citizens, the so-called privileges... are nothing but a despicable method to make them swear allegiance to the death.
Thinking of this, the people who were full of resentment just now were already full of belated touch and gratitude, and some even started to sob softly.
"Everyone, I have another important decision to tell everyone."
On Ariel's fair face, there was another hint of excitement: "Fortunately, there are still 30,000 surrendered soldiers and part of the defenders of the mountain fortress, who have not been poisoned by those fallen nobles, and they will soon Returning to their respective hometowns, I meet you all!"
"His Royal Highness, are you saying that you want to release those captured soldiers back?!"
Under the podium, an old man leaning on crutches trembled in disbelief: "But they have all faced you with swords and swords before! How could they not be punished?"
"Yes, I do want to let everyone go."
Ariel nodded with a smile, and responded: "As for the punishment, of course there is, that is, I hope they can join me to make this land a better place together."
"Your Highness Princess~www.mtlnovel.com~ If the Lengyan Kingdom can have a great monarch like you, how can it not be strong and prosperous?"
After being stunned for a long time, the old man was so excited that his nose ran, and he couldn't help but knelt down and said, "Long live Your Royal Highness!"
"Long live Your Highness the Princess!"
Other people in the square also knelt down on the ground one after another, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.
For a moment, the scene of thousands of people kneeling together was quite shocking.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded in satisfaction.
This undoubtedly shows that his coping method is still very effective.
"Eldest Prince, Second Prince, even if you send all the glib guys here, I'm afraid it won't be able to arouse my internal conflicts."
As Lei Xiao thought about it, he raised his eyebrows, and then under the guidance of Ju Bai, he started to walk towards the City Lord's Mansion of Leo's Rest Castle.
