Chapter 482: The Prime Minister's Scheme
When Leo walked out of the gate of the Golden Feather Parrot family, although his weak body was a little dizzy from standing on the high platform for nearly ten minutes, and he even stumbled involuntarily when he boarded the carriage, he was still in a good mood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
From today on, the Golden Feather Parrot family, of which Roger is the head of the family, can actually be seen as "Leo's people".
Although the civil servants of the Golden Feather Parrot family are too weak and spineless in Leo's opinion, such people are easier to control - though more rebellious - than those who are full of blood and don't hit the southern wall and never look back.
In short, there are always good and bad things in the world, and there are losses and gains, and Leo is not stupid enough to think that any good thing will fall into his hands, and for the sake of insurance, he kept Morata, the third adjudicator, and the ten church elites, and these forces are enough to cooperate with Roger to hold the entire family's voice before the election meeting.
But Leo's joy only lasted until the moment he met the eldest princess, because Her Royal Highness brought a very explosive news.
"Julian may never wake up again."
Leo and the Marquis of Habs had a look on their faces that was both surprised and a little taken for granted.
The second prince Julian does not know martial arts, and at the same time drank a whole glass of poisonous wine, although there are masters around him, but there is no soul magician who can use soul power to drive out toxins, so this result is actually expected.
"I was also told that Prime Minister Paul was going to use a stand-in to replace Julian at the election."
"What?" Everyone present exclaimed in unison.
"It can't be!" The first to react was the Marquis Habs, the Minister of Justice, who had been an official in the same dynasty as Paul for decades, and who thought he knew the Prime Minister quite well: "The Prime Minister has always been steady, and it is absolutely impossible for such a risky decision to be carried out from his hands." β
The eldest princess glanced at her future father-in-law meaningfully: "Power will make people fall into madness, Lord Marquis. β
The Marquis of Habs opened his mouth to refute, but found that he could not find a reason to refute.
As a veteran of politics for most of his life, the Marquis Habs knew very well how sweet and delicious power can be, even better than the wonderful taste of ********.
Prime Minister Paul also once held power, but then was taken away by the emperor and Edgar, and now another opportunity to regain power is in front of him, but with the death of the second prince, it will be a flash in the mirror.
No one can remain calm in the face of loss and regain, and now Prime Minister Paul is not just the power of the prime minister, but the superpower that controls the entire Sbanny Empire, the continent's largest power.
In such a situation, it seems understandable that Prime Minister Paul would do anything crazy and ridiculous.
Unlike the Marquis of Habs, Leo's attention was focused on another aspect: "Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, I don't mean to offend, but I still want to ask a question - is the person who leaked the information to you reliable?" β
The eldest princess was slightly stunned, a trace of inexplicable expression flashed on her face, and then she nodded very affirmatively: "Absolutely reliable, please rest assured Your Excellency Leo." β
Leo also froze, because the eldest princess had seen the look on her face that had flashed before.
Whenever the blonde knight Gamelo appeared in front of Bela, Bela's face always flashed with an expression that was instinctive, and even Vera herself was unaware of it.
It was a peculiar expression that women only showed when confronted with a male suitor they did not like, some proud, some self-satisfied, but also wary and resistant.
Leo suddenly understood who had leaked this information to the eldest princess.
Leon.
The identity of the person who provided the information must be important enough to obtain information from Prime Minister Paul, and to be able to approach and fall in love with the eldest princess.
Who better fit the bill than Leon, who is both the son of Prime Minister Paul and the fiancΓ© of the eldest princess, Viscount Juan?
Gamelo did not hesitate to betray his father, Duke Sauron, the current prime minister of the Kingdom of France, for Bella, and accompanied Bella to flee to the Spany Empire without regrets, but was lured into darkness by Cleverley, and was nowhere to be seen after the battle of the Victory Palace, which made Bella extremely worried and blamed herself these days.
Leo's previous laughter was not without a sense of relief for Bela.
Now Leon also betrayed his father for the eldest princess, what will happen to him? If one day he is as unknown as Gamelo, will the eldest princess feel guilty like Bela?
Leo couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, woman, it's really a disaster!
He subconsciously glanced at Bera beside him.
For some reason, Bella smiled lovingly.
Leo was suddenly relieved, maybe Bella owed Gameelo a life-saving grace, but she never took advantage of Gamelo's affection for her, and even directly rejected Gamelo's explicit and secret pursuit several times.
Love can't be forced, so there's nothing wrong with Bela.
Leo was determined that if Gameillo was still alive, he would help Bella repay the favor, and he didn't like his woman to owe anyone anything.
The Marquis of Habs on the other side also seemed to notice something, but although the eldest princess was the daughter-in-law of the Marquis, she was very likely to become the future empress of the empire, so the Marquis of Habs naturally did not seek the root of this kind of thing that should not be asked, but directly shifted or pulled back the topic: "In this case, let's discuss how to expose this trick of the Prime Minister." β
Obviously, now that he knows the plan of Prime Minister Paul's stand-in, it is undoubtedly the best choice to expose it, as long as the Prime Minister's plot is revealed, then the power he has worked so hard to build will disappear in an instant.
For the Spany Empire and even the entire continent, it is permissible to support a mediocre emperor to take charge of the government alone, but it is absolutely impossible to bring out a fake emperor to engage in fake shows, which is a completely disruptive behavior of the game, and will not be accepted by any player who participates in the game.
From this point of view, Prime Minister Paul is not only on his own political life, but on the life and future of the entire Ice Bear family, and the word "crazy" is absolutely well-deserved to sum up this kind of behavior.
Leo thought for a moment and said, "If this plan is true, then His Royal Highness the Second Prince should not appear until the Emperor Election Meeting." β
Everyone agreed with Leo's opinion.
Obviously, a fake second prince must reduce the number of appearances in front of everyone as much as possible, so as to expose as few flaws as possible.
Leo continued: "Maybe we should look for targets from the second prince's cronies, these people usually get along with the second prince day and night, so they can naturally easily tell what is wrong with the fake second prince, and they also have the motive to testify. β
Leo is not wrong, if the second prince really becomes a fake, then Prime Minister Paul will definitely find a way to kill those who can see through the fake second prince.
The Marquis of Habs pondered for a while and expressed his opposition: "This plan is indeed good, but the time is a problem, it is difficult for us to get close to these cronies before the election meeting, and it may be too late after the election meeting. β
Bella, who had been quietly observing, also broke her silence at this time: "Wouldn't it be good to let the person who leaked the information come out to testify?" β
Leo, the Marquis of Habs, and the eldest princess looked at each other and rejected the idea.
Asking Leon to come forward to testify against his biological father is a bit difficult and not enough to insure himself.
Just when everyone is struggling, Daisy brings a surprising news.
"My lord, Duke Li'an has sent an invitation to invite you to meet at his mansion."
This "adult" refers to Leo.
