Chapter 551: From Loyal Ministers to Powerful Ministers
Reedmar City, square outside the south gate of the Red Fort. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the left side of the square are the Red Knights in red armor and their appendages, while on the right side of the square are the Silver Wing Knights in silver helmets and their affiliated infantry regiments.
A total of 50,000 troops were deployed on both sides of the square, and the square, which could have accommodated hundreds of carriages, could not even accommodate so many people, and if you look down from the sky, you will find that the soldiers facing each other in the square are only a small part, and most of the soldiers can only line up on the streets outside the square, nervously waiting for the moment of battle.
"Marshal!" General Brian, who had just returned with his army, came to Duke Lian: "What are we waiting for, hurry up and send troops to defeat the traitors on the opposite side, and then march to the palace!" ”
General Brian had just won a brilliant victory with five hundred Scarlet Knights and at least three hundred heads outside Prime Minister Paul's Ice Bear Mansion.
Therefore, at this moment, the general's heart is full of self-confidence, and he has the sky-high arrogance of "all enemies are paper tigers".
Under such circumstances, General Bryan and his subordinates are desperate to fight, and they wish to fight now.
The eldest prince Cleverley on the side also echoed a few words, and it was obvious that His Royal Highness also wanted to lay the overall situation as soon as possible, so that he could ascend the throne as emperor.
Duke Leanne glanced at General Brian, and a hint of disgust flashed through the duke's eyes.
Forget about Cleverley, after all, it is His Majesty the future Emperor of the Empire. But General Brian, such a mere subordinate, dared to point fingers at an imperial marshal like Duke Leanne, and now the supreme commander of the whole army!
If it weren't for the fact that Duke Lean could only rely on the 25,000 men of the Scarlet Knights at the moment, the following crimes alone would have been enough to make Brian's head fall to the ground.
But Duke Li'an is not only a top military strategist in the mainland, but also a very good politician, for such a person, it is naturally very clear when to tolerate and when not to tolerate, so when the Duke spoke, the tone of his mouth was quite gentle.
"It's not time yet, General Brian. Calm your soldiers and tell them that the time for meritorious service will soon come. ”
General Bryan was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look at Duke Lean in front of him: "Lord Marshal, I hope this time will not come too late." ”
After saying that, General Bryan didn't look at Duke Lean again, and went straight to his horse.
Duke Li'an's face changed slightly, and finally he couldn't hold it back, and let out a cold snort softly.
This Brian left without even giving a military salute!
Even Brian's cronies sensed that something was wrong, and after walking a distance, they whispered to General Brian: "General, you were like that just now, aren't you a little-"
General Brian sneered and said, "Don't respect him, right?" Why should I respect him? His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is not a fool, it was the 25,000 brothers of our Scarlet Knights who helped him ascend the throne, not Marshal Talian! With the credit of this King Qin, what can he do to me? ”
"Yes, yes, your lordship has a point, but that's Marshal Li'an, and it seems that the eldest prince trusts him very much, and if you provoke him—"
"He can't do anything to us if he is in a hurry," General Bryan laughed, "Who doesn't know now that Cleverley, Marshal Thalia's own son, is actually the murderer of the Emperor?" Whether it is the eldest prince or other princes, as long as there is still someone in the Charles family who can ascend to the throne, it is impossible to trust the Golden Lion family as before! ”
"So the decline of the Golden Lion Family has long been doomed, at this time, whoever stands up and takes the lead in hostility with the Golden Lion Family will be able to gain the trust and favor of the future emperor! What is the trust and favor of His Majesty the Emperor, and do you need me to continue to explain? ”
General Bryan really didn't need to continue to explain.
His Majesty's trust and favor are, of course, equal to power, wealth, and title!
The former Golden Lion Family covered the sky in Spinned**, and when the new emperor wanted to suppress the Golden Lion Family, who would be the first replacement he thought of? Of course, it is those who are completely at odds with the Golden Lion Family and have a dead heart on His Majesty the Emperor, such as General Brian!
With the support of the emperor, Duke Thalia is an egg?
The cronies who surrounded General Bryan suddenly realized, and they all slapped loudly and convincingly: "The general is really high-minded, compared to you, we are like fireflies and the moon, the difference is more than thousands of miles!" ”
General Brian laughed, looked around at the cronies who were constantly sycophants, and waved his hand proudly: "Be loyal to General Ben, our good days are coming!" ”
Unlike the smug General Bryan, Duke Lean, who was watching General Brian's figure go away, took a few deep breaths before he managed to calm down the anger in his heart.
The Duke's eyes were extremely cold, full of undisguised killing intent.
"Okay, your Brian, I think that at this time, if you openly confront me and the Golden Lion Family in front of the Great Prince, you will be able to brush up your favor and mix up your future, it's not so easy!"
As a big man who has been involved in politics for so many years, General Brian's careful thinking was instantly seen through by Duke Lean, but after seeing it through, Lord Duke was still very dissatisfied with Brian's approach.
Although I know that you are hostile to me not because you have a grudge against me, but because you want to have a good future. But then you want to use me as a stepping stone for you to climb up? Sorry, then I'm going to have to kill you!
What's more, since the celebration day incident, after thinking for several days, Duke Lean has come to a conclusion - the good days of three hundred years have been completely goodbye because of the sword that Cleverley stabbed Charles XVI, and if you want the Golden Lion Family to continue to maintain its current status and glory, then all the people of the Golden Lion Family, including Duke Lion, must make changes.
And the new path that Duke Li'an has chosen for himself and the Golden Lion Family is the path of the Minister!
From loyal ministers to powerful ministers!
After the eldest prince ascends the throne, Duke Li'an will no longer be loyal to the emperor like the lord of the Golden Lion Family for three hundred years before, but will personally take action and grasp the entire imperial power in his own hands.
In other words, Duke Lian wants to completely elevate the future Emperor His Majesty, make Emmanuel a complete ornament, and let himself be a super powerful minister, an uncrowned emperor!
A military minister may indeed be helpless against a rebel like General Brian, but what about a powerful minister who has overthrown the emperor and wielded all the power?
The moment when Duke Leanne really holds all the power will be the time of General Brian's death!
"Report!" At this moment, an elite spy of the Golden Lion Family came to Lord Duke and whispered a piece of news that surprised him.
"A few minutes ago, a person suspected to be Leo, the god of the Church of Light, entered the Knights of the Silver Wing with a woman, seemingly asking to see Prime Minister Paul!"
