Chapter 456: Tyrant William
Truly Great Joy for All!
At this moment, Li Wei's mood was joyful, laughing heartily. He had almost completely guessed all of that His Majesty the King's intentions.
Speaking of which, His Majesty the King played this hand well! First offering a carrot—what four major provinces, four major Dukes, making people dizzy looking at it—and with a backhand, a big stick plus a Decree of Extending Grace!
Yes, later allowing Freemen to undergo Status Renunciation in the name of the Kingdom, to become Pioneer Mercenary Groups, to return to being Ordinary People—this was the otherworldly version of the Decree of Extending Grace.
Li Wei treated Nelson, Linus, and these families quite well, almost cultivating them as trusted Direct Lineage, yet the result was still that they turned into White-Eyed Wolves. What about the subordinates of other Lords? How many people must have run away?
And this move was also almost equivalent to all Lords breaking ties with the King.
Yes, that was why there was the intervention of the Nine-Star Council. Without the Nine-Star Council, Li Wei felt all the Lords would probably Raise the Banners of Rebellion immediately and revolt against the motherfucker.
But there was no helping it, this was an Open Scheme. Li Wei had said so: the various chaotic phenomena within the Kingdom previously felt like the rhythm of Causing Trouble. As a result, the King himself flipped the Lords' tables!
People like Li Wei who had guessed it in advance were very calm, but there would truly be many people who couldn't stay calm.
