Chapter 228: Lufate and Osborne (Part II)
There is an idiom in China called "smart is mistaken by smart", which means that smart people are delayed or hindered by their own cleverness. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Are Luphas and Osborne smart people?
There is no doubt that yes, looking at the empire, they are definitely two of the smartest and most scheming, and their intelligence value is not 100, but also 95 or higher.
Most of these people have a common problem, they are easy to complicate simple things, and in layman's terms, they just think too much.
Taking this incident as an example, Lane wrote the book obviously only to make start-up capital, but fortunately, he speculated at the beginning of 1204 in the Qiyao calendar, and did not have as much thought as Lufas and Osborne speculated.
The reason for the kind of coincidence that Osborne said is purely because the arrangement of several other princes, the royal family's materials, and the historical materials of the Alsside family are recorded in detail, but the "Puppet Emperor" is unknown. Although Li En knew that the descendants of the puppet emperor were eventually brought back to the Kane family and became the new Duke of Kane, if he dared to write so, the Kane family must have done everything in their power to erase him. Fictional way, but I think it's too awkward, and I can only use "Pseudo-Emperor" to pass it with almost crazy strokes.
However, in the eyes of Lufas and Osborne, this has become a big game of chess, and Lane has become a representative of the new generation because of this series of outstanding performances - if the person concerned knows, he will be dumbfounded, and say: "Damn, I am so awesome?" β
Osborne glanced up at Lufas and continued, "Underestimating Lane is a ten. I've told you more than once, don't underestimate anyone. Even ordinary people can burst out with amazing energy in a critical moment, and if you want to become a good chess player, you must take everything into account. β
"Yes, Your Excellency. But, Your Excellency, that's yourβ" Lufas hesitated for a moment, and finally swallowed back the word "son" that came to his lips, "It's not surprising that I miscalculated. β
Osborne smiled, his son is excellent, and being a father is always pleasant: "Just told you not to underestimate anyone, you exalted him, and belittled yourself by the way." Lane is good, but there is still a certain distance from you. β
"You've won the prize, and I and Lai En have moved together, and I can't turn the situation around as neatly as he did." Lufas laughed.
"In this aspect, Li En is indeed very strong, stronger than you and me, but you can't just look at one aspect when looking at people, internal affairs, the overall situation, and how you behave in the world Li En is far inferior to you." Osborne didn't add points to Lane just because he was his son, "You just said that you and Lane are in a different place, and you can't do what he does, I don't deny it, but he can't do it like you, without a trace, without suspicion, to gradually weaken the "League of Nobles". Moreover, Lane is fundamentally different from you, you are a clever chess player who is good at laying out the inside of the board, and Dawn is a rule-breaker who is very fond of using off-board hands, and even turning the board overβin war, he is understandable, but once peace is restored, he can no longer use such methods. If a country wants to be stable, it must respect a certain order, and breaking the order will lead to turmoil, so I will say that you who are good at using rules are better than Li En, who is good at breaking rules. β
"According to your meaning, he is suitable for the army, and I am suitable for politics?" Lufas asked.
"It's not." Osborne shook his head and said, "You're a better fit for politics than Claire. But Lane is different, his unfettered personality doomed him from pursuing a career in military and political affairs. Have you looked closely into his eyes? β
"Eyes? It feels a little like you, and some don't quite like you, it seems that there is something hidden, but there are some subtle differences, it seems to be something on a deeper level, because there is not much contact, I don't understand it. As one of the few insiders of Lane's identity, Lufas naturally had a good observation of Lane, the real "Son of Iron Blood", and the more he observed, the more contradictory and incomprehensible he felt.
"You've noticed it, but you're not getting to the point." Osborne nodded in satisfaction, "His eyes are more like you than mine." β
"And me?"
"That's right, with you. You have a long-term vision, you have seen the end of the aristocracy and the inevitable civil war, and you have chosen to endure and prepare well. More importantly, you are doing this to protect your loved ones and important things. You are for your brother, for the survival of the Elbare family, for the ...... Shu Huaze's family, for the sake of his friends. Hehe, the relocation of Quan Uumir, and the relocation to a place I don't even know, is a big deal, and I guess most of the money he made from Lane Forte went into his airship and relocation plan. β
"When you say that, it's quite similar." Lufas pondered, "But I still feel a little subtle difference. β
"Of course it's different, you have ambitions in politics and he doesn't have ambitions in that area. He's just an awkward person who is very afraid of trouble and wants to drill into trouble. Osborne sighed with some complexity, "In the end, you may be in trouble, and you can't leave if you want to." β
"Isn't that just like you?" Lufas asked rhetorically, "Everyone thinks that you, the Iron Prime Minister, are in power and incomparably beautiful, but in fact, only a few of us know how difficult it is for you to be a prime minister, aren't you also the one who takes the initiative to get into trouble?" β
"It's different... It's not the same... I left him for the sake of the Empire, and if he were faced with such a choice, maybe it would be the other way around. β
"Your Excellency... Lane will one day understand your hard work. β
"Understand, but don't accept, he has already shown this attitude." Osborne smiled bitterly, "Not to mention that I have to push him to the forefront for the sake of the stability of the empire and attract everyone's attention...... My father is really incompetent. β
"Your Excellency, you... Regret it? Lufas put away the elegant smile that belonged to the noble son and asked solemnly.
"I don't regret it, I have decided since I was named prime minister by His Majesty, no matter what happens in the future, I will not regret it." Osborne, who was sitting on the soft chair, still straight, "It's just, for Lane, for her...... I feel guilty. β
"Shame, no regrets," Lufas chewed on in his heart.
Two words speak to Osborne's heart, and also to Lufas's heart.
One left behind the child and became the "Iron Prime Minister" with mixed reputations.
A betrayal of his father and family, and secretly became the leader of "Iron Blood" "Emerald City General".
Although I feel guilty, I don't regret it!! (To be continued.) )
