Duke Leanne was finally silent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, what Leo said, the Duke did not think about it. It is because Duke Lean has thought about it and realized it that this is why what happened tonight is what happened!

In Duke Lean's opinion, things are actually not too complicated.

Now, for him and the Golden Lion Family, no matter which new emperor ascends the throne, many political enemies of the Golden Lion Family will definitely attack Duke Lion and the Golden Lion Family with the matter of Cleverley's murder of the king, and it is impossible for the new emperor to ignore this matter.

At that time, there will be a scene of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it, and the Golden Lion Family and the Duke of Tharian himself are the wall that is about to be torn down!

Even if they can successfully survive this catastrophe, Duke Li'an and the Golden Lion Family will definitely be greatly damaged, and even in the worst-case scenario, the Golden Lion Family may usher in the fate of being wiped out by the new emperor!

Of course, this is intolerable to Duke Lean, for a man who has been taught since he was a child that the glory of the family is above all else, he will never allow the countless glory and glorious history of the Golden Lion Family for three hundred years to be interrupted in his own hands!

Just as no emperor wants to be the king of a fallen country, Duke Lean definitely doesn't want to be the last duke of the Golden Lion family.

Of course, it may not be so bad. Maybe the future emperor will see the loyalty of the Golden Lion Family for three hundred years and the countless contributions he has made to the empire, and let Duke Lian and the Golden Lion Family go after just imposing a punishment, which is also possible, even very likely.

But even so, the power held by the Golden Lion Family and the Duke of Li'an will be greatly reduced, and the loss of most of the military power is a foreseeable thing, and maybe they will be deprived of the hereditary military minister's qualifications!

If this is the case, then the future Golden Lion Family may still be able to rank among the top families of the Spany Empire, but it will no longer be able to dominate and treat the entire Imperial Family as if it were now!

In other words, this is likely to be a turning point for the Golden Lion Family from prosperity to decline!

For either the Duke of Leanne or the Golden Lion Family, this is undoubtedly a failure, a complete failure!

Can Duke Leanne endure such a failure, can he bear to become the head of the sinner family that has turned the Golden Lion Family from prosperity to decline?

Again, no!

No one would want to hand over the power in their hands out of thin air, let alone the super power in their hands that has been passed down from their ancestors to the present for a total of 300 years!

After several days and nights of contemplation, Duke Leanne sat in his study, and finally made up his mind.

This power was originally given to the Golden Lion Family by Charles the Great, the founding emperor of the Spany Empire, and successive emperors have been very generous to let the Golden Lion Family keep him, but now because of Cleverley's affairs, the next emperor will definitely take back this power from the Golden Lion Family.

So what about Duke Lean and the Golden Lion Family? Just bow down and let the emperor take power away, and then ignore everyone?

No!

Since you don't give it, then I'll take it back myself! And this time, I'm going to have more!

The Duke of Leanne was determined to defend it all with iron and blood.

Since the Election of the Emperor was about to take place, Duke Lean did not have much time to prepare a careful plan, let alone mobilize the elite troops who were absolutely loyal to the Golden Lion Family to come to Ridmar City to help.

He could only rely on his incorruptible tongue to move the Grand Prince Emmanuel and General Brian, and rely on these loyal factions who had always looked at each other at odds with him to carry out such a risky plan.

It turned out that the plan of relying on the loyal monarch faction was really quite unreliable, and General Brian's pride and complacency made the contradiction between him and Duke Lean quickly made public, so that the Duke fell to the bottom of both his prestige and the effectiveness of his orders among the 25,000 Scarlet Knights, making the situation that he originally had an eighty percent chance of winning turned into a five-five open, and also put the Duke in such a dilemma.

But it was at this time that Leo appeared and made a proposal that made the Duke very excited.

It is not difficult to hear from Leo's words that as long as Duke Lean leads the army to annex, then the eldest princess will not only no longer hold the Golden Lion Family responsible for the death of Charles XVI, but also will not reduce any power that Duke Lean and the Golden Lion Family hold in their hands now!

Isn't this the reason why Duke Lean raised his army?

In other words, now Leo and the eldest princess have given Duke Lean a path that does not need to kill people at all, and can achieve his goal as long as he does not need to fight blood!

Of course, this is actually a little different from Duke Leigh's original idea.

The difference is that according to Duke Lean's plan, he will completely overthrow His Majesty the Emperor after supporting Emmanuel to ascend the throne, let himself be in charge of all imperial power, and become the de facto uncrowned emperor!

This plan is almost exactly the same as that of Prime Minister Paul, and it is also a plan of a powerful minister.

Prime Minister Paul was successfully persuaded by Leo after a conversation with Leo to abandon the plan of the powerful minister and go to the side of the eldest princess, so what about Duke Lean? Will this Duke also give up this powerful plan that belongs to the Duke himself, and be loyal to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess like Prime Minister Paul?

Duke Lean, who has always been known for his determination to kill, fell into indecision for the second time this evening.

If you don't agree, the result is of course only to fight, if you win, then Duke Li'an will become a powerful minister, whether it is the duke himself or the Golden Lion family, you can get more power and glory, but if you lose, then both the Duke of Li'an and the Golden Lion family will only have a dead end.

If they agreed, then both the Golden Lion Family and the Duke of Li'an would be able to secure the power in their hands, which seemed to be a more secure way.

But the Duke also knows very well in his heart, not to mention that this is just a promise of the eldest princess, even if the eldest princess really keeps this promise, but after all, Charles XVI died in the hands of Cleverley anyway, and this rift between the Golden Lion family and the royal family has arisen, and there will never be a day of reconciliation.

Under such circumstances, who can guarantee that the future emperor will not continue to act against the Golden Lion Family?

To make a score, the Duke of Leanne at this moment seemed to be standing on an isolated island in the middle of the river, with two bridges leading to the east and west banks respectively.

The bridge leading to the east bank is a slippery bridge that can only accommodate one person to walk, and if you don't say it well, you will fall into the river and drown, but after crossing this bridge, you will be able to obtain a mountain of gold that will make everyone blush.

The bridge to the west bank was a wide enough bridge to accommodate several carriages running side by side, and it was a safe and risky bridge, but at the other end of the bridge there was only a mountain of silver, which was much inferior to the gold mountain.

The two choices clashed fiercely in Duke Li'an's heart, should he choose the original plan that could better reflect the five words "wealth and danger", or accept the more secure and safe compromise proposed by Leo on behalf of the eldest princess?
