Lord of Lowland

Chapter 239 Cecil's Thoughts
Seeing Prince Rex's sincere attitude, Cecil couldn't help but want to laugh. Now he found that this prince is definitely not simple.In fact, from the standpoint of the royal family, any member of the royal family will never think that the system of acting officials is a bad system, because this system itself is to maintain the strength of the royal power and enable the king to mobilize the most efficient people in the kingdom. all resources.It seems that the eldest prince's situation is indeed not very good, and his decision actually represents a break with the royal family.

However, it is not surprising to break with the royal family, because the eldest prince now has no supporters in the royal family. Since neither the king nor his sister supports him, it is not surprising to break with the royal family. Although he now supports the abolition of the acting official system, he may even become the official The king will also limit his rights, but the problem is that if he doesn't do this, no matter how powerful the king's power is, he will only be marrying his younger brother. Who will he be working hard and busy for?Who said you can't go back on your promises? Once you become king, you won't have the final say on what policies you will pursue?Therefore, Prince Rex should have taken these into consideration and decided to support the abolition of the agency system.

After thinking about it, Cecil replied: "The eldest prince is far more visionary than ordinary royal figures. It is often difficult for ordinary royal figures to see the flaws of the acting official system due to their own narrow interests, but your highness, But you can jump out of this limitation. Seeing this, I think all the people of insight in the Kingdom of Sololand will sincerely think that your highness, Your Highness, is a hero."

The so-called "smart people can understand at a glance", the "sighted people" in Cecil's mouth are naturally all the rich and famous families of the Soloran Empire, even now including those nobles standing next to the second prince. With favorable conditions, their inclinations will naturally change. Although the king will hate Prince Rex even more, the king himself is no longer the character Prince Rex is fighting for, so it is something that he could not get. It doesn't matter what he loses, Rex no longer cares about what his father thinks.

"It's really gratifying that our kingdom has a man of insight like Baron Augustine. If you have time, you can come to my villa outside the city for a quick meal. I still have a lot of things to discuss with the baron." Prince Rex glanced at Cecil and said happily.

Seeing that Cecil was so appreciated by the prince, many people at the scene showed envious eyes.Of course, this kind of envy may not be too much, because the situation in the kingdom is now turbulent, and it is hard to say what will happen to Prince Rex in the end, so whether his appreciation is a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

Hearing such an obvious gesture of favor from the eldest prince, Cecil gave a deep salute: "The appreciation of the eldest prince really makes this servant fearful. If the eldest prince doesn't dislike it, then just say it if you need it in the future, and I will definitely be smashed to pieces. .” Like the eldest prince, Cecil also made a standardized process for expressing loyalty.Of course, both parties know that this is only a preliminary contact, and the expressions of loyalty and appreciation are just lip service, but something is better than nothing.After all, it means that the two sides already have some kind of tacit understanding that can cooperate. In the eyes of the prince, the current Cecil also represents the resources of the Temple of Dawn, and is also a very valuable figure.

Rex nodded towards Cecil in satisfaction, obviously enjoying his answer very much.After all, this was a banquet, and we couldn't waste all our time on Cecil, a baron with the lowest title. So Prince Rex nodded to him and thought about toasting the nobles behind Cecil.

Cecil looked at the back of Prince Rex with some amusement. It seems that the recent evolution of the situation has made the prince very upset. It must be a careful design to come to this banquet to announce that he supports the abolition of the proxy system.The risky element of doing so is not small, and it is tantamount to a blatant break with the king.Cecil estimated that the prince would still enter the palace to petition the king for the abolition of the proxy system, and the king might still reject it.And I am afraid that the prince will be reprimanded. The prince obviously thought of this too. This is just for the nobles to see.

Cecil didn't pay much attention to the struggle for power and profit at the top of the kingdom, because he was too far away from him, and it was impossible for these extremely top figures to get involved, but now Cecil doesn't see it that way.Changes in the upper echelons of the kingdom are also very important to one's own territory. Since Prince Rex made such a suggestion, no matter how reluctant he is, how much he has to do it, and how insincere he is.If he can get the throne, the shaking of the acting official system will be irreversible.At this moment, Cecil made up his mind to side with Prince Rex.

The banquet went very smoothly, but after the toast, the prince did not stay in the mansion of the Duke of Fatham, and soon he said goodbye.He has already accomplished the purpose of his trip, so there is no need to stay longer after that.The prince is also a person who pays great attention to efficiency.

After the prince left, everyone's banquet continued, but because of what the prince just said, everyone felt a little excited.Everyone immediately drank to their heart's content, but Cecil didn't have much thought about eating. After people have something on their minds, they don't pay much attention to such things as eating, drinking and entertainment.Cecil was still thinking about what the eldest prince had just said.It seems that the succession of the eldest prince will be beneficial to himself and these nobles.

In addition, how to help the eldest prince succeed to the throne is also a problem. The reason why the eldest prince went to all the troubles is simply to get a higher bargaining chip in the succession of the throne. Judging from the excitement of the nobles present, the eldest prince's strategy may also have played a role. It has a certain effect, but the old king has been king for decades and his political status is deeply rooted. His influence is unparalleled. Whether he can win over the old king just with the support of the nobles is also a question worth thinking about. What is the next step for the eldest prince? What is it?Could it be.
Cecil suddenly thought of a possibility, and he shivered suddenly. If the eldest prince really thought so, then maybe a bloody event would be inevitable, and the whole royal family would probably have a big catastrophe. Turmoil, is the eldest prince really planning to do this?Judging from today's point of view, it is possible. Winning over these nobles can only allow the eldest prince to have a stable foundation, but if he really wants to make a comeback, he needs to start from within the royal family. If the eldest prince's comeback plan is as Cecil thinks If so, that's a big deal.
