Chapter 47: Your Way

"Fourth, it is the core of this power struggle - the issue of military power, the central army of my Rhine Kingdom is also the most elite unit is the 100,000 new army trained by Pol. However, under the control of Gates, Bol is unable to form absolute control over the army, and with the support of the king, who do you think will win in this battle for military power? The officers of those armies are not fools either, on one side is the Governor of Vienna, on the other side is the King plus the Minister of War, the Minister of Finance, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Forces Nouvelles, Gates, if the two sides are at loggerheads, do you think those cunning officers will be on that side? Will you help Pol just because of his feelings for him? ”

"In the end, the New Deal can make the country strong, and the reason is that it can increase the country's tax revenue and military resources, which I have already said, and now the people of the whole country have recognized it - because this is what the foreign powers do. The implementation of the new policy to save the country has become the wish of the people of the whole country and the trend of history. ”

"To sum up, supporting the New Deal can be both famous and profitable, do you still think it can't be implemented? Once enforced, the power of the local governors will be weakened and power will return to the center. Those former emperors of the soil will definitely not dare to make trouble, but will try to fight for seats in the cabinet. Bol would also be stripped of his military power and fall into the hands of Gates. And Gates is a close confidant of the eldest prince, coupled with the power of the king, so that only the eldest prince can sit on the throne in the future. And you have been against him for so long, will you still be alive when he succeeds to the throne? ”

"Of course, there are still two ways for you to rebel now, the first is to take advantage of the old king's coup d'Γ©tat, kill the eldest prince, imprison the king, and become king yourself. The second is to wait for the eldest prince to succeed to the throne before rebelling. But ask yourself, what are the chances of your success in doing so, and will your henchmen, including Pol, take such a big risk for you? ”

The people who said a seat were speechless, after such an analysis by Clifford, the situation became clear in an instant, if the second prince still wanted to compete for the throne, the result would be a dead end, first of all, the normal succession situation no longer exists. Secondly, it was also impossible to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, the eldest prince and the king were well guarded, and he did not have a chance to strike. In the end, it is even more nonsense to wait until the eldest prince succeeds to the throne and then rebel, when the time comes, the name will be certain, who will follow him to fool around? Which kang is hot, which kang is cold, those ministers under him know very well in their hearts, it would be good if they didn't sell him when the time came, who would follow him to jump into the fire pit? Those who know the times are handsome.

The second prince was silent after hearing this, sat on the chair, frowned, pondered for a long time, his heart was very unwilling, for so many years, the old king's love for him was incomparable, and his power was also rising, so that he mistakenly thought that he was the only one who would inherit the throne in the future, and now it seems that all this is just a joke.

The second prince is not stupid, and at this point today, he can be regarded as understanding that the old king Frederick VII's favor for him is fake, and what he really loves in his heart is the eldest prince. And he, His Royal Highness the Second Prince, is just a tool in the hands of the old king, a tool used to contain the power of the eldest prince, and now that he is useless, or it has played the opposite role, the king began to deal with him, slowly withdrew the power given to him before, and finally handed it over to the eldest prince.

He was unwilling, he was even more angry in his heart, he had been used for so many years, and in the end, not only was the bamboo basket empty, but even his life may not be saved, all of which made him have a strong hatred for the old king and the country, but his mind was still clear, and he had to admit that what Clifford said was right, so far, he has no chance of winning.

According to the current situation, the old king Frederick VII will definitely slowly take back the financial and military power, and then transfer it to the hands of the eldest prince, and the throne can only be a distant dream for him.

He also thought about taking extraordinary measures to obtain the throne, but after Clifford's analysis, he also knew that it was impossible to succeed, and those ministers who had always declared their allegiance to him on weekdays would definitely be grass on the wall at that time, and whoever they followed would do it, and there was no need to put their lives on the line for this matter.

"Hey." The second prince finally sighed heavily, sat on the chair, and said speechlessly: "Coolford, then what do you say I should do?" If I die, my family will definitely not have a good time. ”

Hearing this, Arya breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she knew that Coolford had passed the test this time, the almost frozen atmosphere in the air just now really frightened her, and her back was sweaty, no matter what the reason, she was really worried about Clifford now, because she knew that her fate had been tied to this master, if something happened to the master, she would definitely have to live a dark and bullying life.

The second prince, Concubine Eva, also looked at Clifford with a hint of surprise and appreciation, she was born in high society and married a prince, and there were no rare literati and celebrities in her life, but a person like Clifford, who could not only write good poems, but also had such insight into the situation, she had never seen it in her life. What's more, what Clifford did before she had also heard of, it was completely a cowardly and incompetent earl's son, why did he suddenly become full of tricks and famous all over the world during this time? Could it be that he had been deliberately hiding himself before? This is truly an enigmatic figure.

The second prince, Eva, was a little out of shape, she began to stop sitting upright as she had been trained since childhood, and slowly leaned back in her chair, clasped her hands on her chest, and stared at Colford with curious and expectant eyes, wanting to see what he had to do.

Collie Fu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that he had made the right bet this time, to be honest, although he was seventy or eighty percent sure of his own set of rhetoric, but he was still afraid that the second prince would solve him on the spot on impulse, and now seeing that the second prince was bluffed, he was quite proud in his heart, and his waist was stiff, and he pointed at the second prince in a tone of a worldly master, and said: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, haven't you understood yet?" Your way, the old King Frederick VII has shown you. Can he not be clear about your situation? Anyway, you are also his biological son, and your mother is also his beloved woman, can he let you go five ways? ”
