When the Shun Army defeated the British invasion in Bagan and peace seemed to be coming, the nobles of the Privy Council were waiting day and night for His Majesty the Regent Princess to issue a decree, announcing that Song Chan and his men were rebels, restoring their land and property, and returning to the good days of the past.

So it is not difficult to imagine how ecstatic they would be when the nobles of the Privy Council were notified that the Regent Princess and His Majesty the King would come to the Privy Council at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to announce the new decree! Many members of the Congress did not sleep all night and were preparing to express their feelings to His Majesty the Regent Princess the next day.

At nine o'clock the next day, the Privy Council was silent. All the nobles stood up from their seats, bowed their upper bodies slightly, waiting for the sedan chairs that the Regent Princess Luolin and King Luo Qin were riding into entering from the main entrance of the Privy Council and climbing to two side-by-side thrones on the high ground.

"Dear nobles, respected teachers! The Buddha once said: 'Wisdom is more precious than gems and gold!' Today, my brother and I, the noble king, came here with a difficult question, wanting to seek the help of your wisdom, and hope you will show wisdom that is worthy of your reputation." When Rollin said this, he sat back on his throne, and a follower standing behind her stepped forward, took out a scroll, and read aloud.

A slight commotion occurred among the nobles, but it soon returned to peace and began to listen to the contents in the scroll intently. In fact, the contents in it were very simple. The original Burmese royal army had ceased to exist in the previous civil war, and many soldiers in the new army that had to be rebuilt were farmers who escaped from the noble manors. According to the old Burmese laws, these farmers were actually the wealth of those nobles. His master was the leader of these teams. After retirement, he had to return to the Lord.

The manor continued to farm. However, the officers of the newly established army were either the backbone sent by the Shun Army or the confidant of His Majesty the Regent Princess, and the huge number of soldiers were unwilling to return to the manor to continue to be serfs after they had escaped from the old shackles. In this case, if the old system was restored, it would be equivalent to the disintegration of the new army. Soon the followers read the contents of the scroll aloud, and the nobles all lowered their heads and thought about the real purpose of His Majesty the Princess raised this question.

A member of the parliament stood up, bowed to the king and the eldest princess, and shouted: "Master Princess, I think the best way to solve this problem is to give the soldiers freedom and land as quickly as possible!"

There was a commotion among the MPs. The MPs in front said the thoughts of a considerable number of nobles, but at the same time his words also touched the most secret string in the nobles' hearts - that is, the property and rights of the nobles must not be violated.

"I cannot agree with you, because it violates the rights of the nobles and shakes the foundation of the kingdom. These fled peasants are the wealth of a certain noble. If they are given land and freedom, then our manor will soon be empty. Who will plant rice and who will pay taxes at that time?"
