I really can't control myself

If it were just a miscellaneous rebel army created by Thomas Heihe, the empire wouldn't have to worry too much at all. Everyone knew that the fighting power of farmers was not terrible at all. But the problem was that with the participation of nobles, the matter was different. The troops under the nobles are real troops, and they are really capable of fighting. What's more, there are actually quite a few nobles supporting Thomas Heihe this time.

"I have already seen that the nobles who support Thomas Heihe are basically the remnants of the three previous dukes." Princess Yalan also directly explained the situation of these participating nobles.

The three dukes that Arran mentioned were naturally the Duke of Rennes, the Duke of Minotier, and the Duke of Norbury. These three dukes are all dead now, and this matter is more or less related to the Merloway family. The Duke of Norbury and the Duke of Rennes were both killed directly by the Merloway family. Duke Minottier After the rebellion, he also played against Garsain on the battlefield.

Now these three dukes have obviously fallen, but they were the great dukes in the empire before, and their power was so complex that it almost covered the entire country. Many families have connections with them, whether it is marriage, business cooperation, or direct alliance, and their downfall will undoubtedly cause these families to suffer losses.

Because of this, in fact, a large number of families in the empire have conflicts with the Meloway family, but now that the Meloway family has really grown, they have no particularly good methods or opportunities to take action. However, this opportunity appeared now. The appearance of Thomas Heihe, the illegitimate son, gave them hope. Of course, they did not know whether Thomas Heihe was the illegitimate son of Emperor Wigley. Regardless of whether he was, it was better to help him rise to power than to Let's wait until the Melowei family takes control of the entire court.

All in all, the uprising has deteriorated rapidly in the past few days. It can no longer be called an uprising, but a real power struggle. In the past few days, nobles have continuously announced their support for Thomas Heihe, which suddenly caused the entire empire to split.

Yes, of course there are many nobles who support the Meloway family. In fact, the current foundation of the Meloway family is not as shallow as most people think. Garsain has indeed done a lot of things during these times, and some Many nobles have already established quite good relations with the Meloway family. Now some people in the empire support the Meloway family, and some people support Thomas Heihe. The entire country's nobles, large and small, have begun to take sides and have split into two factions. Of course, the situation has turned from chaos to confrontation, and the situation has become special for a while. nervous.

The fight has not started yet, but the current confrontational situation seems to be just the trigger. Of course, the situation of Princess Yalan and Princess Fulla these days is also quite bad, and it can be said that they have become the target of public criticism.

First of all, the strange situation at present is that the two of them have not ascended the throne yet. Yes, Linton was also surprised when he heard this. Emperor Wigley has been dead for about ten days. A country cannot live without a king for a day. So after he dies, should you two quickly find someone to take the throne? As a result, there is still a window of opportunity until now.

Linton asked about it and found that Yalan also had a headache now. Didn't Thomas Heihe say that he murdered Wigley just to become the emperor? Now that Yalan is on the throne, does that mean he has acquiesced in this matter? Do you think you want to be the emperor? Why don't you ascend the throne as soon as Wigley dies? Of course Yalan didn't want to admit this. Of course she was not the one who murdered Wigley. How could this be possible? If she ascended the throne, could she make it clear?

Princess Fulla is actually in a similar situation. Her relationship with the Meloway family is basically obvious now, and everyone knows about it. If she ascends the throne, the other party can change her name and so on, and it can also be pinned to her. Princess Fura herself is not interested in the throne than Yalan, so it is not like ascending the throne at all. The result is what Linton sees now. Thomas Heihe's side is shouting very happily, but here he hasn't even decided who will take the throne.

"What a headache. Can you have some political common sense? The other side claims to be the emperor. If you don't create an emperor to counter the other side, you won't even have the righteousness to attack them." Linton said, holding his forehead.

The normal approach at this time is to quickly ascend the throne, then declare the other party to be a traitor or something, and then send troops to attack him. If you don't ascend the throne now, wouldn't you be acquiescing to the other party's status as emperor? This is not to make the other party more unscrupulous. But it's not like Yalan didn't even think of this, but the problem is... she can't get through the relationship aspect.

She really doesn't want people to think that she is a parricide beast, even if it is framed, but to be honest, once she really takes the throne, it is really not easy to make this matter clear. With the current public opinion situation, everyone thinks She was the one who did it now, and now that she is on the throne, it is simply adding fuel to the fire. Yalan said that if she was really involved in this matter, she would not know how to behave in the future.

"I'm a little strange, why doesn't anyone think that Thomas Heihe killed Wigley?" Linton asked, "There is a possibility that he might have done it. The most suspicious thing is that Wigley wanted to recruit him before. When Gong confronted him about this matter, the other party did not come, so his identity was very doubtful, and Wigley was assassinated on the way to see him, so that did not prove that the other party was Wigley's child. Isn’t it possible that the other party was not Wigley’s child, and he wanted to hide the matter, so he killed Wigley before he arrived? Why doesn’t anyone doubt this?”

"Of course there are, but they are all from our side." Princess Yalan said.

Linton also understood that the current public opinion is mainly suspicious of Princess Yalan. It's not that there is no possibility of what he said, but not many people think about it. The nobles who support Thomas Heihe don't care at all whether the other party is really an illegitimate child. They just want to take advantage of the situation, so of course they will not clarify these things. In terms of public opinion, the other party obviously has much higher control than they do.

Yes, from the beginning of this matter, the other party has controlled the direction of public opinion. Linton even saw some of the modern methods of operating public opinion. Thomas Heihe was completely fired up. Linton did not think that the other party had this ability. , there may be forces that helped him carry out this series of plans from the beginning.

We pretty much understand the matter now, now it’s a matter of how to deal with it. This matter is quite serious. Once Thomas Heihe really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the Melowei family will definitely kill the whole family. Princess Yalan and the others will probably be convicted of parricide soon. How can Linton do it? Let this happen.

The more troublesome part of this matter is public opinion. Yes, it would be too easy for Linton to rush over and kill Thomas Heihe with a knife. Linton doesn’t know how many troops the opponent has, but it doesn’t matter at all. Linton I feel like if I want to kill him, no matter how many people there are, they can't stop me.

If Linton himself became the emperor, Linton said that he would definitely do that, and I would proclaim him the emperor immediately. Then he said that the other party was fake and that the people who supported him were all traitors, and then he flew over and hacked them to death. Others can do whatever they like and think whatever they like, but Linton doesn't want to be the emperor. This will cause trouble for himself. How can he have time to do this?

Originally, it would be best for Yalan to take the throne, as it would be more convenient to do things. Although Princess Fula is not their most personal person yet, Linton felt that it didn't matter, so he asked her and Yalan to discuss and find someone. Forget it. But now, Linton rushed over and killed the person. It will be really difficult for Yalan to be a human being after that. Linton also didn't believe that if he killed Thomas Heihe, the agent, the forces behind him would be dispersed. There would definitely be a lot of follow-up, which would probably drive Yalan, the "good boy", crazy.

Yalan is his own woman, and Linton must let her live happily, so Linton will definitely not do this in this matter. Since the other party wants to engage in a public opinion war, Linton said that he would just play with you. He is a person in the information age. He has never seen such a stormy operation, but he can still let you play?

Since you want to play with public opinion, the first thing to control is naturally the platform that dominates public opinion. In the information age, what dominates this is the Internet. Everyone obtains information from the Internet. Of course, the Internet certainly does not exist in this world. So what is the public opinion platform in this world? The answer is people. Yes, the information in this world is transmitted from mouth to mouth, so if you need to control public opinion, you need an organization.

If you can control a huge organization spread across the entire continent, you can control public opinion. This is much more troublesome than in the information age. There are no such things as convenient forums and bars for publishing information, so it is difficult to implement this. Easy, it is impossible for Linton to create such an organization now.

Of course, it is even more nonsense to start a newspaper and engage in media now, because there is no time to do this. Of course, you can try it later. After Yalan ascends the throne, you can do something in this area to control domestic public opinion, and save it later. If something like this happens, it's definitely not possible now.

So what to do now? Of course there is still a way, so Linton thought of an organization that could help immediately. The name of this organization was called the Church of Light. Yes, the Almighty Church of Light was once again targeted by Linton. How should I put it, these guys are really useful. After a little calculation, Linton started his plan.
