Public trial?You deserve it too!

The man sincerely admired it.

"Me, Jung, and the Prime Minister of Lauenburg, this is the pie we drew on paper for His Majesty." There was a trace of memory in Leicht's eyes. "This is also the reason why the three of us old men are constantly honored and favored - none of us were born in great nobles, and we all hate these guys from the bottom of our hearts."

"Are you and Your Excellency Jung... and Your Excellency the Prime Minister are good friends?"

Gutenberg was taken aback.

"Yeah, can't you think of it?"

The old man chuckled.

"Among the three of us, Jung is the most radical, and I am the most compromised, while Lauenburg recognizes both Jung's attitude and my methods, and he can always reconcile the contradictions between us-this is why he is the prime minister. The reason why he is still standing in his seat is that he is always very good at 'making peace with each other', but he is very clear about right and wrong."

The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious like a tea party for the old people in the Les Invalides. The young people listened to the old guys talking about the stories of berating Fang Qiu when they were young-but Gutenberg only felt that the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.

Your Excellency Leichter...why do you want to talk to him about this?

"And then, that happened."

Leicht picked up the teacup, the original smile disappeared, replaced by a lingering shadow, mixed with a lot of... anger.

"His Royal Highness Augustus' biological mother committed suicide."

Gutenberg was caught off guard when he heard these words, and was stunned.

"Your Majesty, who has not yet committed suicide, is mad. He was originally inclined to me and Lauenburg, but as soon as this incident happened, he immediately hit it off with Jung. I knew the timing was wrong, but there was no reason to persuade me. I could only Together with Lauenburg, I watched His Majesty's furious entrance into the palace."

Leicht sighed.

"But to everyone's surprise, under the words of the late emperor, His Majesty compromised, which made Lauenburg and I breathe a sigh of relief, but Jung couldn't accept this situation, and protested by resigning, which was accepted by His Majesty , Since then, the three of us haven’t worked together again—I didn’t see him again until Jung agreed to be the teacher of the third prince Ludwig.”

The old man's words seemed a little long, but Gutenberg didn't pay much attention to the following things at all, and all he was thinking was one thought over and over again.

Leicht said that His Majesty Augustus' biological mother committed suicide, and then His Majesty and Jung hit it off, so why would His Majesty choose a radical because of his lover's suicide when Jung is known to be an anti-aristocratic radical? What about pie?

There is only one possibility...

That is, the great nobleman had an "indelible" contribution to that person's death!

He looked at Leicht in a daze, and the old man also looked at him.

"It seems that I understand."

The old man laughed.

"……is this real?"

Gutenberg ignored his own doubts, he subconsciously chose to ask the authenticity of this matter first.

"real."

Lechter nodded.

The man took a deep breath, and he finally understood why, Leicht was not worried about whether the emperor would agree to the other party's plan from the beginning to the end - because those guys were already dead in the eyes of the emperor!It's just that it's still walking outside the grave.

"why……"

Gutenberg stared closely at the old man.

He didn't understand why the other party would do this, telling him such almost top-secret news, and more importantly, why the other party would rather tell him than tell Augustus?

If Augustus knew the truth, then things would never have come to this point!

"Your Majesty's order, I cannot take the initiative to tell His Highness the truth."

Recht said lightly.

"Then Your Majesty...have you prohibited His Royal Highness Augustus from going to investigate?"

The old man didn't answer, just closed his eyes.

Slowly but firmly shaking his head.

Gutenberg seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and he sat down on the chair with a terrifying expression on his face, but he couldn't move.

"Is His Highness...preparing for a blow from the bottom of the pot, or does he...don't care at all..."

The man asked intermittently, he was just trying to make excuses, because he didn't need Leicht to answer at all, the answer to this question was already in Gutenberg's hands——

If there is really a plan to "drain the fire from the bottom of the pot", why is Leichter's plan being brought out now?

"His Highness should have verified it, but before and after the verification, he did not show any difference. I don't know whether he found out the truth or just made a gesture."

Leicht said softly.

"The longer the time drags on, the colder my heart becomes. Sometimes I think, maybe this is my punishment—a compromised strategist meets a more compromised lord. I can only watch helplessly." As His Majesty becomes more and more alienated from His Highness Augustus, I seem helpless."

"So that's why your first thought when you found out about this was that a strong man cut off his wrist?"

Gutenberg murmured.

"No, it's not that the strong man cut off his wrist, he just wanted to give His Highness a step down."

Licht said calmly.

"Whether it is my political career or your Highness's future promotion path, it has been completely cut off from now on—maybe many people think it's okay, after all, His Highness is so favored and is also the crown prince, but I can tell you for sure It is already impossible for His Highness Augustus to get anything from His Majesty the Emperor, and demotion is the only end."

Gutenberg opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say—he did the whole thing, from trading, to deliberately leaking information, and then to find Leicht, all by himself behavior, but did not expect to lead to such a result.

"I just don't want my political ambitions to become a complete joke—similarly, I don't want my Highness, who has been assisting me for so many years, to end up with a crime."

The old man pointed to the plan.

"That's good. The great nobles get what they deserve, and His Royal Highness Augustus can at least retain the last decency. It's much better to resign under the excuse of not knowing people than 'colluding with a business alliance'."

"But...you..."

"I've also figured out where to go for you—I'll write a letter of recommendation, and you go to the Chancellor of Lauenburg and ask him to arrange a seat for you. But you probably won't be able to make any more contributions, so you can only continue in secret Use your talent."

Leicht interrupted Gutenberg, took out a letter and put it on the table, and continued talking on his own.

"Your Excellency... I... this matter is obviously my fault... it's all..."

Gutenberg covered his face in shame, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it doesn't even count as a borrowed knife to kill people, you just happened at the right time." Leicht shook his head, "On the contrary, you have the courage to lift the lid to me, which shows that you still have a heart. Blood, still love this country, so I am willing to give you this letter, my future is over, but at least your talents can continue to contribute to the empire."

The man just shook his head and sat there, weeping.

What is he crying for?

Leichter's helping hand?Guilt for causing this situation?Confused about your future?

——Or is it the extreme disappointment with the person he is loyal to?

Leicht stood up, picked up his plan, turned and left here, leaving a little private space for the other party. "

After leaving the study, the old man's body trembled slightly, but soon he stood up straight again.

"It's almost over..."

He muttered to himself.

"Hold on a little longer, at least you can't fall down before those bastards die—otherwise, you will really be stabbed in the back by Jung and Lauenburg."

----------------------------------------------

"The palace is here, Your Highness."

Claude got out of the carriage first, and then helped the two highnesses, one big and one young, to get out of the carriage one after another. Christina led Letitia, and Claude followed, and walked into the palace together.

The scene was very harmonious at one time, as harmonious as Christina and her husband and daughter meeting her grandfather together...

But this time he came to the palace for a serious business. Claude has officially graduated, and the old emperor will naturally not allow young people to use their good years to fall in love—so he was called into the palace to prepare to formally send the group of people from the Imperial Guard to the palace. Give it to Claude, let him use these people to weave a new knight order.

However, these people are still Letitia's guards in name, so today's scene still requires the little princess to appear. It is logical that Christina set off in a carriage together on the excuse that her sister is still young.

Claude can only pray that the eldest princess will not use this excuse to him in the future.

【I have a question. 】

"Just ask."

The boy looked at the two princesses in front of him worriedly, and replied absently.

【Didn't you say before that you are not going to be the military chief of a knight order in this situation?It is said that it takes too long to establish prestige, training, and cultivating confidantes, and then you have to grind to form combat power, which will hold you back for a long time, so you refused to graduate early during the previous experience. 】

"One moment and another. At that time, I was just Jane in the heart of the emperor, a naive knight with some personal strength, and the situation was still unclear—but now it's different, the situation is already clear, and I just need to wait for a result. There just happened to be a window period, and it was perfect to use it to expand my personal strength."

Claude's tone was very casual, and he didn't seem to be bragging about himself at all.

"What is my status now? A relative of the emperor, the number one genius in the empire, he has won many battles, and everyone from his comrades to his subordinates are full of praise for the absolute perfect knight. No one dares to write such an outrageous protagonist like me in the novel, because it is too cool. ——I am the ultimate dream of all knights who join the army, and using this posture to train troops will not be an ordinary bonus.”

[This is true...but even if those knights and cavalry are convinced by you, then you still have to train your own lieutenants and grassroots commanders. These are very long things, right?Not to mention the need to run in on the battlefield, the time may not be shortened very short, right? 】

"That's why the emperor handed over Leticia's bodyguard to me so readily." The young man's voice was still lacking in ups and downs, "He is taking the initiative to help me speed up this process, so that I can grow up as soon as possible. stand up."

【The old emperor's support for you is indeed very strong, so the status of Wang Fu is indeed very useful...】

"Don't be so simple, there is a price for this."

Claude said without any gratitude at all.

Learn from Me: Chapter 189 Chapter 170 Chapter [-] Fatal Deviation

[So, what is the price? 】

"Become as handsome as I am."

【? 】

"Cough, just kidding."

Claude enliven the atmosphere.

"In fact, it's easy to understand if you think about it from another angle. No matter how I pave the way, age is always a double-edged sword. Being young is a good thing, but it also lacks a lot of necessary time-the lack of cultivating trust is just a Castles in the air, especially as an emperor, it is not a good behavior to pin your hopes on illusory people."

"That's why this incident happened. Maybe it seems that others have so much trust and value in me that they let me lead this group of people, but in fact, the emperor still has doubts about my loyalty, so he did this." Do."

【...Are you going to use these people to spy on you? 】

"That's too cheap, and it doesn't conform to the usual rules of the game-these people will execute my orders perfectly, but there is a premise that my orders will not pose any threat to the emperor."

Claude pointed.

"The so-called 'pull the top of the mountain' in the army is sometimes unacceptable. After all, the following time is different. If a general wants to master a completely unfamiliar army in the fastest time, he has to send his cronies The Ministry will be placed in various key positions. Not to mention giving orders, at least in a short period of time, one’s orders can be effectively executed, which is the prerequisite for being able to go to the battlefield.”

"So for a commander, the most important thing is his own pro-army, which is composed of a private soldier and some generals who have been fighting under his command for a long time. The private soldier guarantees his life safety, and the general guarantees his control over the army. Everything else is removable and replaceable—this is why I said it took a long time, because there is no shortcut for the most important part, and I can only do it bit by bit.”

[So you were not in a hurry to graduate. After all, if you are looking for a general school, there is no better place than the Imperial Military University. 】

"Private soldiers or something, there are some ways to make a quick success, but qualified generals who are willing to follow are very rare. Randolph, Georgie, Gustav, these people are the top choices, As long as they graduate, they are qualified generals. So I need time to convince them that they have all fought under my command, and obviously respect me, and if they join the army in the future, they will obviously not refuse my offer."

the boy explained.

"However, in the current situation, it is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor is going to let me take a shortcut—none of the officers of the Imperial Guard is free. If there are still some gold-plated elements in the Emperor's Guards, these people are real. Killing the embryos on the battlefield and drawing them out as the backbone of the new army is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

[But they are all loyal to the emperor. Rather than saying that they are your pro-army, it is better to say that you are commanding the emperor's pro-army...]

"Exactly. The normal command is that the order is issued from me, to the generals at all levels, and then passed on to the soldiers." Claude raised his mouth slightly, "but the current situation is equivalent to saying that there will be a meeting between me and the general There will be a lack of a link, and the usual combat command will obviously not have any impact, but once it comes to issues related to the royal family, my people will obviously obey the emperor instead of me."

[So it is equivalent to that you have been completely crucified on the side of the royal family, even if you want to do something - if you have any second thoughts, you will be emptied in a blink of an eye, because your orders are not Can't convey it. 】

"That's right, and the more interesting point is that after this framework is set up, even if I suddenly die suddenly, any member of the royal family with a high degree of legitimacy will take over my position, there will be no problem, not even a riot. Yes, the troops under my command can immediately become sharp knives in his hands."

[Unload the mill and kill the donkey? 】

"No, it's just a backup, otherwise he wouldn't need to marry his granddaughter to me. After all, the character I'm showing now belongs to the kind of person who is easy to fall under the cold arrow. The emperor never puts All the treasures are placed on anyone, this behavior is very reasonable and very hidden, at least [truly loyal knights] can't see it."

Claude denied, but his tone was neither angry nor sneering, but rather affirmative and...

Glad?

"This is really great. Every step of the old emperor shows that the other party is a veritable emperor. Every step can be clearly arranged. With such a big guy pulling the line in front, the probability of my being exposed is just pulling it away." Bottom line."

The boy nodded very satisfied.

【Uh...you don't care if the other party takes advantage of you? 】

"Are you kidding me? The [Claude Knight] character set that I worked so hard to put together is, to put it bluntly, 'This guy is stupid and kind, but he is also capable. He is a perfect little chess piece. Come and use him. Ah', set up a fishing law enforcement, and prepare to get the first pot of gold by pretending to be confused by taking advantage of it-who would have thought that it would be the current situation"

Claude's voice was a little cursing.

"Damn it, no one really knows what kind of person they will meet in the future. The lord I turn to is actually a more silly and sweet guy than I have shown - the royal family can raise such a thing! It's outrageous to fucking open the door for outrageous!"

"As a result, those who want to use me dare not use it, and those who can use me never think of using it, and I have to jump in front of the emperor to show off-it's been more than two years! It's been two fucking years and three months It's been another five days! I just got the admission ticket to the political circle of the imperial capital. It's so fucking difficult... I managed to capture the daughter of a grand duke at the beginning, and saved a prince who was caught in a chaotic battle for succession , relying on clues to gain the trust of a dead princess!"
