Chapter 200 Half a year of endless debate
As Charlemagne said, the history of Quel'Thalas turned a new page with Dar'Khan's death.
In the early morning of that day, when Anasterian announced Dar'Khan's crimes in front of the upper and lower chambers of the Silver Moon Council, it immediately caused a major earthquake.
Some officials didn't believe the Sun King's words, thinking that he was just excluding dissidents. After all, this kind of behavior of colluding with trolls to poison their own king was too unbelievable.
But in the face of conclusive evidence, all members of the council were silent. The numerous dark historical materials found in Darkan's underground secret room clearly recorded the crimes he had committed all along.
The truth about the disastrous defeat more than ten years ago was also revealed under Li Reza's statement and many evidences.
In addition, Dar'Khan has also done many things prohibited by Quel'Thalas' orders, including research on the void, bypassing the Sun King to directly contact the members of the Tirisfal Council, smuggling a large number of enchanted goods to the human kingdom for huge profits, secretly Do everything possible to exclude dissidents and so on.
The most serious thing is his coveting of the Sunwell. This guy with supernatural powers has gradually infiltrated into the well guards on Quel'Danas Island. Although he has not obtained any core information, it is enough to cause the Sun King and the Council to was furious.
The Dar'Khan incident finally caused a huge shock in the entire Quel'Dorei society. The people condemned the inaction of the Silvermoon Council in recent years, and some of Dar'Khan's hard-core allies also began to secretly stir up trouble.
When the political situation was in chaos, the old king used a strong attitude to liquidate Darkan's original party members for the first time. Many officials at all levels were pulled down and quickly convicted or even executed.
Firemark and Corona, who were originally radicals with Darkan, were also frightened by Darkan's revelations and the Sun King's ruthless methods. They were afraid of being liquidated by Anasterian. He immediately decided to resign from his old age and return to his hometown, completely withdrawing from the upper house of the Silver Moon Council, the highest decision-making level.
Although Anasterian originally only wanted to beat the two of them up, since the other party was so knowledgeable, he agreed to their resignation without hesitation, and repeatedly assured them that they would not pursue their faults again.
The three vacated seats in the House of Lords naturally caused a lot of people to fight for it, but this temporarily drew the attention of officials at all levels on the aftermath of the Darkan incident. Prince Kael'thas, who was determined to reform, At the suggestion of Charlemagne, he quietly passed an idea to his father.
Then the Sun King manipulated the populism, and specially asked the Sun Shadow Squad of Welles to quietly spread some news among the people, and gradually extended this Darkan gaffe to the corruption of the entire mage group and the upper nobles.
Under the boiling public grievances, no matter how arrogant the nobles are, they can only live with their tails tucked temporarily. Anasterian, who has gradually begun to retire due to physical reasons, took the opportunity to announce the last reform draft during his reign.
In order to avoid such gaffes in the upper house of the Silvermoon Parliament, the mages can no longer continue to hold the seats. In the future, 6 seats will be opened to all other professions like the lower house, and members will be selected from the lower house first.
As soon as this draft came out, it immediately caused a huge turmoil in the entire Quel'Thalas high-level. After all, it was Dath'Remar who made the decision when the upper-level nobles joined the Silvermoon Council to take power. Will not let it go.
In order to vote on this draft, the entire Quel'Thalas officialdom had quarreled for several months, and no result was discussed until the eve of the high-level meeting with the night elves.
The non-mage professions in the House of Commons support this reform with both hands and feet, but the habit of Quel'Thalas, who is respected by the Arcanist for many years, is not so easy to change. Every time the House of Commons votes... basically They punched each other.
This speed of title promotion has made many hereditary nobles envious, but who made the other Earl Theron make great achievements one after another?
Of course, the rise of the upstarts has also attracted many nobles who want to marry. Charlemagne himself has been stared at by the two sisters of the Duke of the Windrunner, but his younger brother is obviously single at this time, so many people pass I found Lor'themar through various channels...
However, with the promotion of Charlemagne's title, Ah Qiang finally raised his head in front of Liadrin, and the two who had flirted with each other for a long time finally started a formal relationship. Liadrin's earl's father responded Also open one eye and close one eye.
Knowing that his girlfriend had made a breakthrough before him, Ah Qiang started the retreat without saying a word, and finally entered the hero level smoothly not long before the high-level meeting started.
Amidst the turmoil in Silvermoon City and the tranquility of the southern forest as usual, the time quietly arrived on the day of the agreed high-level meeting.
Because the Fire Emblem member who was originally scheduled to attend the meeting has returned to his hometown, and now because of the high-level debates, the three seats in the House of Lords are still vacant.
As for Muric and Likert, a thin, sick ghost and a big fat man, their image is really not very good. Anasterian can't afford to lose this person in front of the night elves, so it turned out that the position of the fire pattern councilor was replaced by the high-ranking member. Reverend von der Lohe took his place.
The nominal archbishop looked indifferent after hearing the appointment, but his magister girlfriend, Bi Luohua, dressed up this old bastard, at least he looked... well, more and more like a magic stick .
Prince Kael'thas has become more proficient in state affairs under the guidance of his father in the past few months. This diplomatic contact with the night elves can be regarded as a summary test of his learning achievements during this period.
With the help of the old fox Osis by his side, Anasterian was quite at ease about his son's mission. As for Von der Lore, this guy is basically a civil representative, as long as he is responsible for shining in the meeting, most of the time Don't involve him in the discussion.
Charlemagne brought more people in private. Apart from Aurelia who was going with him of course, the two girls Valeira and Vereesa agreed last time. Li Reza wanted to train the second daughter Because of her knowledge, Charlemagne specially asked Charlemagne to take her with her.
Sylvanas just completed the investigation of Zul'Aman some time ago and returned to Taquilin. Due to a layer of magical enchantment that suddenly rose around Zul'Aman, the rangers were unable to further investigate further, but they can basically confirm that Zul'Aman Jin was really planning something, which made Li Reza immediately alert.
With the addition of the second lady, the whole team became even more lively. The three Windrunner sisters, a chattering little thief, and Immorel who had agreed to go together, this large group of people appeared in front of the Sunstrider king's court together and took Kyle Prince Sass was taken aback.
The corner of Charlemagne's mouth twitched and he explained, "Uh...Your Highness, don't worry about it. Except for Ms. Immoreel, the others want to follow in private. I have other things to do in Kalimdor after attending the meeting." manage."
Kael'thas was a little dazed, but he nodded instinctively, "Oh... well, let's set off now, we can't let those night elf cousins think we are not punctual."
As Prince Kael'thas said, he turned and looked at Anastrian who was seeing off with the support of his mother, "Father, please take care of yourself, I will be back soon."
"Well, go, I believe you will become the pride of the Sunstrider family."
Looking at Kael'thas who stepped into the portal with everyone, Anastrian's skinny face flashed a flash of determination.
'It's almost time...'
