Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Then, I left with the person who sent the letter. After all, this is the imperial capital, and we were at a disadvantage here, not to mention that the heavy damage we suffered before has not recovered. It is better for me to leave early."

"Aren't you going to stay and wait for the result?"

The man looks at him.

"As I said, if I go to see His Highness Augustus, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the moon tonight." The envoy shook his head. I personally act, and now the matter is over, my staying here will only increase the risk of exposure, and it is better to leave as soon as possible."

"However, please rest assured, Your Excellency, I have already arranged for your return trip, and there will be no possibility of you being exposed."

The envoy walked to the door, pretending to think of something inadvertently, and looked back at the Grand Duke.

"But one thing, I'm still surprised. You are so sure to meet him? Will His Highness Augustus really do what you think? Although I admit that His Royal Highness is not very smart, but you seem The possibility of persuasion failure was never considered.”

The corners of the Grand Duke's mouth curled up slightly. Sure enough, the initiative is still on his side.

"I don't need to bother you, I have my own way."

The messenger shrugged and left the room without further questions.

The Grand Duke of Brittany picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip, as if he had shown a well-thought-out plan. He was indeed sure to convince Augustus-after all, he was just a irritable, stupid, short-sighted and self-righteous man. It's just bears.

He drifted back to decades ago.

That day, my father had an expression of imminent disaster, as if he had already seen the destruction of the world, and at that time he was still young, so he didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

It wasn't until 15 years later that he was forced to serve a boy younger than himself that he understood why his father said that the end of the nobility was coming.

They are offering their loyalty to the children whose mothers they forced to death!

No one wants to do this kind of thing, but they have to do it. It's like putting a glass of poisoned wine in front of them. Even though they know that this is drinking poison to quench their thirst, it is impossible to solve any problems, but the desire of human beings to live is enough to make them Even rational thinking is thrown away.

But he didn't want to accept his fate.

no way!

So the young Grand Duke began to connect in series, and he had to find a way to make the Principality of Brittany continue and continue forever.

Fortunately, my father had done something before, and they reached an agreement with the emperor not to tell Augustus the truth.

But this is just an urgent need. Augustus is not a fool. He is a son of the royal family. He has a natural sense of conspiracy. He will soon investigate his mother's affairs, just after his power is formed—and the emperor will naturally not Stop it, and even he will open the door for it.

So the Grand Duke didn't have much time, but he really figured out a way.

First of all, the nobles are very loyal, very loyal. After all, they are children who lack both motherly love and fatherly love. Although there is a teacher like Leicht, it is still possible to gain favor while the other party is still young.

After that, it was time to guide the direction of Augustus' investigation—the agreement reached between the old emperor and them was the best way to mislead.

During the 15 years when Augustus was growing up, the old emperor didn't see him much because of the pain of losing his wife, which made him naturally unfamiliar with his father.

The old emperor never mentioned his first wife on any occasion, which made Augustus resentful and dissatisfied.

The most important thing is that the bowing of the great nobles at that time gave the civilian woman who committed suicide a title. In the eyes of the emperor, this was just the comfort he tried his best to fight for the dead, but in the eyes of Augustus, could easily be twisted into another fact—

It was a forced marriage.

Learn from Me: Chapter 191 Chapter 170 Chapter [-] The Sadness of Chess Pieces

All along, the royal family naturally wanted to suppress the nobles. This was the inevitable result of the conflict of interests between the two parties, and it was almost an open secret.

So - the first emperor forced the current majesty to marry a commoner woman first, but the emperor didn't like this woman, and finally she died after giving birth to Augustus.Then the emperor immediately married another woman, and then Joachim and Ludwig were born one after another, and the queen was as stable as Mount Tai.

The story is so logical, isn't it?

So Augustus would of course believe in himself [the truth found out].

When the emperor really kept his promise, the young grand duke actually managed to "turn the tide", making Augustus choose to be closer to the great nobles instead of the education he had received in the past That way, to win over those "mud legs" who are completely at odds with them.

The nobles were ecstatic, no, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they wept with joy, they praised the wisdom of the young grand duke, they no longer underestimated the other party because of their age, but vaguely wanted to follow his example.And Morbihan, who had secured the position of Grand Duke of Brittany, would naturally not let go of this opportunity to expand his influence.

As a young man, he certainly understands what Augustus is like at this time. Compared with Leichter, who is "a teacher sent by his father who hates him to monitor him", he obviously understands how to "educate" the other party .

"Your Highness, of course we understand that without the empire, there would be no us. Therefore, the relationship between the royal family and the great nobles does not need to be strengthened by such superficial things as marriage. After all, it has no substantive meaning, does it? Between us, we are all prosperous, and we are all damaged, so how can this change after you marry a woman?"

Facing Augustus's youthful and clumsy temptation, when he asked whether the nobles would oppose him because he married a commoner woman, Morbihan expressed his attitude with a smile.

"Marriage is used to win over talented civilians. The real exchange of interests between the upper class is a win-win cooperative attitude. Like these icing on the cake, it is better to have it, but if it is not, it will not affect the overall situation. .”

So the young Augustus accepted all the answers, and became more and more hostile to his father, and he couldn't even gain his full trust with Leicht.And Morbihan took advantage of this sense of identity, and was able to live a glorious life under the command of Augustus.

But flowers are not popular for a hundred days, and people are not good for a thousand days. No matter how nice what Morbiang said, the conflict of interests between the nobles and the prince cannot be covered by a good mouth, especially the Austrian. Gustus is such a person.

Soon the opponent began to suppress the big nobles for the development of his own power, and in order to suppress the big nobles who had been faintly united, he once again promoted Leicht as his staff, and used the Barr family's allegiance , took control of business routes and financial power, and no longer fully relied on the political donations of nobles.

This kind of behavior fooled Leichter and the old emperor. They felt that Augustus had really grown up, especially after knowing the "truth". Attitude.

But the Grand Duke of Brittany knew that Augustus was still the same Augustus, he was still the resentful, short-sighted but self-righteous brat, nothing more than learning a little bit of the emperor's mind, coupled with that bit of royal The power struggle talent inherent in the bloodline is just around the corner.

Morbihan is also too lazy to continue the operation like coaxing a child. Since he can no longer use his goodwill to make the other party look at him differently, then just like in the past, everyone should use it together to snatch the benefits on the bright side. .

The rules of the game have always been like this, and the way I played before is rare.

Just like this time, when Augustus and the Merchant Alliance got online, he naturally took the lead, but he and others also made a lot of money, and compared to the previous small fights, it can be regarded as making smuggling bigger and stronger ——

The ambition that was so big that he had disappeared once again beat in his chest.

Why, should I pledge allegiance to such a fool?Just because he has a supremely good father?

The parliamentary system of the Theocracy and the Chamber of Commerce moved him, especially the political situation in the Theocracy. The Pope is supreme, but if the other party can control it, it is just a Vatican. The real power is actually in the hands of the cardinals of each diocese. - This is simply too suitable!

Moreover, what the emissary of the Theocracy said was indeed very reasonable. After all, the Theocracy and the Merchant Alliance forcibly withstood the pressure of the empire with such a method, and the two sides even fought back and forth. Is it the superiority of the political system?

Originally, Morbihan would not be so eager, but what happened before this year's annual meeting is really lingering. Gutenberg's unexpected actions have caused extremely dire consequences-all of them are now in the dark. It was in Leichter's hands, and now Augustus actually chose to let the other party make preparations.

If Leicht prepared an excuse to declare war and put it on the emperor's desk, wouldn't these great nobles all die without a burial?

The already precarious balance between the emperor and them is about to be broken. At this time, instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to throw all the cards in your hand. Anyway, it is already at the bottom of the valley. Up isn't it?

Losing is nothing more than a result of inaction, but if you win, it will be a leap to the dragon's gate, and even change from a principality to a kingdom, and even go up...

So Morbihan has already chosen his heir, and his useless son-in-law who was comparable to Augustus has been abandoned. Since the future is bound to be a world of great controversy, how can a knight genius like Charles still choose his successor? People with new thinking are more suitable to sit in their own seats.

"However, is this the law that everything goes against its limits? I gave birth to a stupid eldest son, and the old emperor's first son was also a stupid son."

Morbihan laughed dumbly, he wasn't worried that Augustus would be able to suppress him after the event was over - decades ago, he was able to play with the opponent in his hands, and now, even Leicht has already If you are separated from him, what else is there to be afraid of?

Now as long as you persuade the other party to waver, the facts will soon force the other party to make a choice

"Your Highness Augustus, you don't want to lose the possibility of inheriting that seat just like that, do you?"

At the corner of the old fox's mouth, there was a ferocious smile of choosing someone to eat.

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

"I'm about to leave the imperial capital, there shouldn't be anything else I need to do, right?"

The Emissary of Theocracy yawned, as if speaking into the air.

"No, let's leave early. In the matter of Augustus, we should not show ourselves too deliberately. We must have that faint feeling, so that the old emperor will hate us even more."

The voice of the robed man sounded.

"I see - I also asked the question you asked me to ask, and he seemed to relax a lot all of a sudden, and put on airs in front of me. I really don't understand, a lie Why is he eager to confess the false appearances he has piled up like a treasure?"

The envoy of Theocracy looked like he sneered at the Grand Duke of Brittany.

"Don't be too harsh on the other party, at least the other party knows that Augustus cannot be deceived by lies, but by facts - but unfortunately, he has forgotten that a lie is a lie after all. The most important point of deception is that, A liar cannot believe the lie himself."

The voice of the man in the robe was somewhat playful.

"He felt that Augustus found out that the emperor was just like a normal person after the woman's death, so he became suspicious of his father, and then used words and covert methods to lead the other party to hate the new queen. These actions are all worthy of praise , but after enjoying the fruit of this lie for so long, he actually began to believe in this lie."

The voice of the robed man was a bit lazy, obviously he was not interested in calculating these completely unworthy guys.

"However, I still find it strange that the other party can really persuade Augustus? That is to encourage the other party to kill the king and father. Augustus is even if the object of hatred has been deliberately distorted. He can really have such courage. ?”

The envoy of the Theocracy was very skeptical. Anyway, the Augustus he saw from the information had a stick of mud that couldn't support the wall.

"Scholar rebellion, three years failed, not to mention that this guy is still an idiot who can be attracted by petty profits, does he really dare? That guy from Brittany wants to instill that set of ideas in him, I'm afraid he won't It's that easy, right?"

"Then we need a little catalyst—the most critical point of Qiangbao's opponent's logic is not to leave time for the opponent to think." The man in the robe has obviously been prepared for a long time, "I know why I asked you to find a way to go outside the city first." Hold that guy for two days?"

"Are you preparing means in advance?"

"It's not a means of preparation, it's just waiting for a result - I just got the news today, Leicht and Gutenberg were talking in the study again, and the old guy who walked out of the study first, Gutenberg has been It took a long time to come out."

The envoy narrowed his eyes slightly: "So, Leicht should have prepared a full set of plans, and it is estimated that he will be preparing for a showdown with Augustus tomorrow?"

"Do you think that if Leichter chooses a showdown, he will deceive Augustus and say that this is a chance to turn the tables, as long as this is done, the previous collusion with the business alliance will be wiped out-or will he be truthful? tell each other?"

There was no doubt in the robe man's tone.

"To tell you the truth, after all, no matter how useless Augustus is, he knows how to behave in front of whom. This is probably his ability to be praised." The envoy nodded, "Lecht He doesn't know what kind of person his student is, let alone how dark the other party's heart is, he thought that Augustus was just confused for a while, or that 'righteous boy'—that's how it is."

The messenger dusted off his robe a little bored.

"So Leicht will unintentionally become the last piece of the puzzle for you to complete this matter? He will completely smash the last bit of luck in Augustus, and tell the great prince, don't have any more illusions, you There is no longer any possibility of inheriting the throne—so if you want to change this situation, go and rebel with the Grand Duke of Brittany."

"Of course Leicht will not talk like you, and he will not allow Augustus to be rebellious. He probably hopes that Augustus can do this without any burden? After all, the other party has been doing this before. Procrastinating because of the need for the assistance of the great nobles."

The man in the robe was joking slowly.

"However, it fell into the ears of Augustus, and what I heard was just like what you said just now. Leicht brought the [Judgment Book], and besides setting off a gorgeous betrayal against his father, he had already done it again. There is no other way."

"Lechter is really unlucky. His whole life feels like a tragedy. He obviously has good abilities, a good personality, ambitions, and ideals. But when he finally became a pawn, he didn't even know who he was. I know, it was used in a daze."

The messenger was a little bit emotional.

"Is it possible that I use someone, and I have to tell him that you are my pawn? I don't have such good intentions. After all, there are too many people who have been used. Really, Morbihan, Augustus, That isn’t my chess piece? Do they know it’s my chess piece? No, it’s just a stupid smart person, this kind of person is much easier to use than the intuitionistic Lengtouqing.”

"The Grand Duke of Brittany thinks he has a plan, and thinks that after he succeeds, there will be a new world, and an infinitely better future is waiting for him-but he doesn't think about it, if Augustus finds his mother after he ascends the throne The truth of death, what will be the result?"

The Theocracy's envoy shrugged: "Should they fight regardless of everything? So that's why you mocked him for believing the lies you told?"

"Exactly. With Augustus' temperament, it's impossible to expect him to endure it and play a long-term plan, especially when this brat has just ascended to the throne - that's his most inflated and most arrogant How could you allow the revenge of killing your mother overnight?"

"It sounds like you have prepared the pawns to reveal the truth?"

"Of course, have you forgotten that I'm in the second office of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, but I still have a ghost card that can be activated at any time—even if little Favna is exposed because of doing this kind of thing, what can I do? The gains far outweigh the losses.”

"Speaking of which, aren't these guys destined to be defeated? Why have you prepared countermeasures after their victory?"

Messenger found a blind spot.

"I learned from the teacher. Didn't the teacher say that no matter how small the possibility is, as long as it is not zero, you must prepare a backup plan in advance. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, and you will prepare the way to deal with them after they win. gone."

"Well...you are so free, why do you want me to be in charge of the empire?"

"It's not idle, the main thing is that the objects I'm monitoring haven't moved recently, so I don't know for a while whether I made a mistake in my calculations, or I was discovered with some clues, so I can only stop and wait."

The man in the robe explained the recent situation.

"Who are you monitoring? How can you be so cautious? The old emperor doesn't have the qualifications, right?" The envoy became interested, "Didn't you say that the old emperor had a granddaughter, that is the princess named Christina, Is the method weird? Is it her?"

"No... In short, the situation is quite complicated now. Before I get any new evidence, I can't give any positive judgment."

The robed man sighed.

"It's really complicated, no wonder you have to stay in the imperial capital all the time - then I won't bother you to continue to toss." The emissary of the Holy Kingdom shrugged, "I will go back to the Principality of Brittany to assist you and Xiao Hei, or go straight to Islam country?"

"Stay in the empire and continue to help me, but you don't need to go to the Brittany Peninsula. The nobles are no longer the focus of our attention. It's just a bunch of dead bones in the tomb. The time they can live has entered the countdown. "

The messenger nodded: "What do I need to do?"

"Go help me review the pawns buried in the first phase of [Shadow Project]—I used the one closest to the imperial capital to assist Joachim before, but it has been wiped out now. I hope you can go to other Take a look around the place, all the things that can be enabled are recorded, and you can deal with the rest.”

"Phase [-] of [Shadow Project]? That plan where you got a lot of priests to go to the empire and establish all kinds of messy cults there? I remember you asked the court to make a list of heretics and announce it to the mainland coming."

The emissary of Theocracy scratched his head.

"Should I just follow what's listed on that list?"

"Yes, that list is full of cults I created myself, but some have changed their names, but you know, in order not to let people see the flaws, the list on that list is basically only added, and some It was wiped out by the empire ahead of time—in short, it’s rather chaotic, so you can adjust accordingly.”

"it is good."

The envoy didn't mean that his blood pressure would explode just because he met such a casual party A, and he worked hard to a weird degree.

"You still want to stay in the imperial capital?"

"Because I have to watch this drama collectively performed by Augustus and the great nobles. On the one hand, I want to see the emperor's methods, and on the other hand, I want to find out the power hidden in the imperial capital. I think There is no one else capable of this task except me."

The robed man said lightly.
