Chapter 272: The Dramatic "Queen"


After the coronation, William and his entourage, including Lilisa, arrived on the terrace of Copenhagen City Hall to receive the cheers of the people who had gathered in the square in front of the city hall.

Unexpectedly, when the people in Copenhagen saw William waving, they reacted quite coldly, which made William very embarrassed.

William thought of a solution, and with a wave of his hand, he beckoned Lilisa to his side.

When the weak Lilisa quietly walked up to William, the crowd standing in the square erupted in great cheers "Long live Your Majesty!

Long live Her Royal Highness!

” "Long live the King and Queen!"

.....

Hearing such cheers, Lilisa's cheeks, which had always been shy, became like ripe apples, making people want to take a bite.

And when he saw William and Lilisa standing on the terrace to receive the cheers of the people, especially when the people shouted the queen's slogan, Frederick's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unlike Lilisa, William was shocked when he saw these people cheering, but William did not immediately refute this situation, on the contrary, as if acquiescing, William took Lilisa's hand and raised it high, and as the palms of the two were raised, the cheers of the people in the square became more and more intense.

After receiving the cheers, William led Lilisa down the terrace, and Lilisa, who suddenly encountered such a change, seemed very embarrassed, and she followed behind William, which was really an angry little daughter-in-law.

When William's eyes caught a glimpse of Lilisa, William was helpless for a while, this Lilisa is a little too weak to feel anything, although it is undeniable that William likes this type of girl very much, but William's wife will be the queen of Prussia.

As the queen of Prussia, then she will carry the hopes and dreams of the whole of Prussia, and William must find a girl who is strong enough and wise to be his partner, and Lilisa is not suitable in one sense.

For what happened before, though.

William was not going to pursue it, he was nineteen years old, he was born in the royal palace, and he had seen too much deceit and deceit, if no one had deliberately arranged it.

He won't believe it if he is killed.

And the thoughts of this person hidden behind the scenes are actually very simple.

That is to force William to default that Lilisa will be his queen, but William does not intend to explain this wonderful misunderstanding, William, who is determined to open the harem route, will not care about this trivial matter.

William summoned the nobles of the city's rank and file in the Danish palace once again.

Not only that, but William also gathered together the main officials of the entire Danish province.

At the meeting, Wilhelm confirmed the status of the Copenhagen-Prussian capital, and he was not prepared to completely break with the old Danish aristocracy.

It's just that in order to better rule Denmark, the nobles who were canonized by the Danish royal family before must accept the Prussian canonization again, and the highest title this time is only the marquis, and the number of marquis is also stuck at three.

This also means that more than a dozen princes and dukes in Denmark need to compete for the titles of these three marquises, and the subsequent noble titles will be reduced by one level according to the previous standard, of course, in order to punish their previous mistakes, these nobles' estates will be cut by one-third, which is not only against dozens of nobles in Copenhagen but hundreds of nobles in the entire old land of Denmark.

In this way, William will have seized a very considerable amount of land.

On the one hand, Wilhelm planned to use it as a fiefdom under the Hohenzollern family, and on the other hand, a part of the land would be used to ensure the emancipation of the Danish serfs.

Although the serfs were emancipated in 1786 by Frederick VI, Denmark was not a king because of his regent.

Therefore, a considerable number of nobles in Denmark obeyed Frederick VI's order to emancipate the serfs, resulting in a rather slow process.

William had already known about this situation before, so he came this time precisely so that all the nobles must unconditionally emancipate the serfs.

The reason for this.

It is because although William has inherited the throne of Denmark, because the crown of this king was snatched from the hands of Christian VII by force.

So it was foreseeable that Wilhelm, the Danish king, had no mass base and no market among the Danish people.

In order to be able to stabilize the hearts and minds of the Danish people, Wilhelm had to make the entire Danish people remember his name and even feel himself in the shortest possible time, and emancipating the serfs was undoubtedly the best option.

If the serfs were freed from the hands of the landlords and nobles and given land, then these serfs would definitely regard William who rescued them as a savior, and then William's people in Denmark would not have to worry about having no mass base.

William, who was sitting at the top, looked at the many nobles and officials in the palace and said slowly: "If you have any objections to my proposal, you can put it forward, and we can discuss it!"

But this sentence was trembling in the ears of those people standing in the palace, although William said it very politely and the tone was also very kind, but as long as people with a little bit of brains know that William has just accepted the throne of Denmark, the so-called "three fires for new officials", if anyone dares to extinguish this fire, then it is conceivable that the ending will be extremely tragic.

Seeing that everyone in the hall did not speak, William nodded with satisfaction, since everyone knew the current affairs so well, then William was relieved.

Although he had just said that he could raise objections, as a leader, how could William tolerate the existence of someone who disagreed with his intentions, unless that person could not move himself.

William's proposal was unanimously approved, and then in the palace, a new arrangement was made for the Danish parliament William, and the original members of the parliament and cabinet ministers were replaced by Prussians or Danish nobles close to Prussia, of course, this is actually a formality.

You must know that Denmark has been divided into three provinces by Prussia, and the officials of the three provinces are all Prussians.
