Chapter 64: Expected
"I'll leave this matter to you." Pol sat down on the couch and said lightly, "He's just a thug, don't worry." I'm thinking, what are we going to do next? ”
At this time, Pol's chief strategist finally reflected his value, took his hands, and said in high spirits: "As an official, you must think twice, think of danger, think of retreat, and think of change." Now that the Governor has fully understood the danger, and has taken the initiative to retreat from the rapids to avoid the disaster, he has achieved the first two points, which must be described as foresight. Now all we have to do is to think about change, save our strength, hide in the corner and observe, quietly wait for the opponent's flaws, and then win by surprise. ”
"It's not a long-term solution to just wait." Pol was very much in favor of Lincoln's suggestion, but he was not very willing to let him wait like this, he was already fifty years old, and there was not much time left in this life, how could he wait?
Lincoln had followed Bol for a long time, so he naturally knew his thoughts, frowned and thought for a while, and immediately had a clever plan, and said, "Lord Governor, doesn't the king want to develop the three counties in the north now?" Anthony's son Alpha and your old friend Taylor have been appointed governors, and we can make a fuss about the three counties of the North, and replace them all with our men. ”
"Hmm. It's a tough place. Pol nodded heavily, and said very happily: "The three counties in the north are vast, seven or eight times the size of Vienna, if they are all developed and controlled in our hands, it will be of great benefit to our strength." As soon as the transfer of military power is completed, this matter must be handled as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor." Lincoln bowed his head lightly and said with a slight smile, with today's performance, he was afraid that his weight in the heart of the Governor would increase a few points.
Collie is now more popular in the royal capital, and after he was injured, many dignitaries came to visit him, in addition to Angela, as well as his teacher Taylor.
"Clifford, it's so unfortunate that I really didn't expect you to be killed like this." Taylor sat on the chair beside the bed and said with a sad expression.
"Thank you for your concern." After a few days of cultivation, Cleeford has almost recovered, and when he sees his future boss, he must behave a little, he struggled to sit up, squeezed out a smile on his pale face, and said, "Teacher, you are going to the north soon, right?" ”
"yes." Taylor sighed and said faintly, "The king has appointed me as the deputy governor of the northern realm, and I will go to assist Elfa, which can be regarded as a little compensation for Pol and the others. Speaking of this, Taylor not only sighed slightly, who wants to be this deputy governor? It's just that the old king has just weakened the power of the second prince and Pol with the great diversion of the world pointed out by Collieford, and in order to appease them, the appointment of the governor of the north this time must be to release their people.
The favorite thing for mature politicians is stability, and the old king Frederick VII has been king for more than thirty years, and he has long been ripe, and at this time he will definitely not overly stimulate the second prince and Bol and others, so as not to cause any accidents. Although Alpha is a gentleman, it is precisely because he is the uncle of the second prince, the son of Prime Minister Anthony, that he is a hardcore second prince, so only he can appease the forces over there, so as to avoid the Rhine Kingdom from causing a backlash from the other party and causing turmoil because he is the king who is too fierce and ruthless in taking power.
Clifford naturally knows the thoughts of his teacher Taylor, his purpose is to help Taylor become the real governor of the three northern counties, and then he can hug his thighs and develop his own power, how can he let all this work be wasted? Licking his chapped lips, he took a deep breath, lifted his somewhat sluggish spirit, and said, "Teacher, don't worry. Alpha is young and frivolous, prodigal, living in a greenhouse since he was a child, and does not know the sinister nature of the human heart, I heard that he has now begun to openly sell his official beard, he is now proud, how could he never have thought that he could get such a high position at a young age, I don't know how many people will be jealous, I don't think the teacher needs to do it, naturally someone will clean him up. ”
Clifford is very smart, he has made up his mind to follow Taylor in the future, if you want the leader to reuse you, in addition to making him feel that you are very capable, the most important thing is to reassure him, he is so straightforward, just to reassure Taylor and treat him as his own.
Taylor naturally knew this, and patted him on the shoulder, which was a sign of appeasement, but he was a well-known old fox, and he would definitely not say such a thing as picking up Alpha, and said faintly: "Okay, Clifford." Your serious injuries have not healed, so you should hurry up and rest, I should also go. I'll take you with me the day we go to the North. This sentence is an expression of attitude - you are my person.
"Thank you, teacher, I can't send it to you." Clifford smiled faintly and said, "Liana, send my teacher for me." ”
"Yes, my master." Liana curtsy and respectfully escorted Taylor out the door.
A few days later, in the city of Vienna, the proud Alpha was feasting guests in one of the largest hotels in Vienna, Alpha was the son of Prime Minister Antony, who had been praised since he was a child, and thought that no one would dare to mess with him, and the banquet was very luxurious from the beginning, not only with good wine and food, but also with many beautiful women for them to enjoy.
"Come, come, come. We are toasting and wishing our great Governor of Alpha success and the stability of the three northern counties. A middle-aged man with a round face brought a glass of wine to Alpha and said flatteringly.
"Hahaha." Elfa hugged a dancing girl and laughed loudly, and said, "Thank you, Thomas, don't worry, as soon as I take office, I will appoint you as the county guard of Heihe County." "Heihe County is one of the three counties in the north, and it is also the northernmost county.
"Thank you so much, Lord Alpha, you are my God." The round-faced Thomas was overjoyed when he heard this, what a beautiful thing it is to be a county guard, he can manage hundreds of thousands of people, and then said with a flattering smile: "Your Excellency, my subordinates have a gift for you, please accept it." ”
"Gifts? What gift? Alpha asked with a curious look on his face as he held the dancing girl in one hand and the wine glass in the other.
"Bring it in!" A strange smile appeared on Thomas's face, and he said with a hand back to the one behind him.
After a while, a beautiful dancer came in from outside the door, dancing as she walked, and came to Elfa, Ying Ying knelt down and said: "Meet the Governor, the slave is named Anna, and she is willing to serve the Governor, and I ask the Governor to take her in." ”
Alpha's eyes were straight, although he had played with many women, but he had never seen such a beautiful, so seductive, and his voice was so soft, compared to her, the women around him were simply vulgar fans, pulled her up, and said domineeringly: "You are willing to go to the north with this governor." ”
"Yes." Anna smiled and said in a voice that made people feel crisp to the bones: "Anna will follow the Governor for the rest of her life, as long as the Governor does not dislike it, I will go wherever you go." ”
Just looking at Alpha's expression, Thomas knew that he had made the right bet again, and said with a flattering smile: "My lord, this is a gift from your subordinates, and I hope you like it." ”
"Yes, of course I do." Alpha pushed away the dancing girl he was hugging, pulled Anna into his arms, touched a few handfuls randomly, and said with a smile: "Thomas, you really have a heart, don't worry." You can't run away from the position of Heihe County Guard, with me and my father here, you just wait to take office. ”
"Thank you, Lord Doge. My subordinates will toast you again. Thomas put on a smile on his face and toasted Alpha with a full glass of wine.
Alpha was so happy that he had been promoted and had such a stunner, and God was so good to him that he couldn't help laughing out loud with joy, and drank several glasses of wine. As for the official position of the county guard, it is the state, who is it for it or not, and it is not a bad thing to give it to a dog who listens to himself so much.
He has lived in a large family since he was a child, and the people he met were all respectful to him, and he was arrogant since he was a child, and he didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, so he accepted the gift from Thomas heartlessly, what he didn't know was that among the people who came to the banquet today, there was the eyeliner of the eldest prince, and they had been staring at Alpha's every move, just waiting for him to make a mistake.
Sure enough, a few days later, the eldest prince instigated the impeachment of the officials, saying that he accepted sexual bribes from others, sold his official position, and took the official position of the state inappropriately.
The old king Frederick VII was completely furious, he had long known that Alpha was a gentleman, but he never expected that he would be able to do so much, this is simply a bastard! Immediately called the herald in the palace and shouted: "Go, tell the eldest prince, let him send someone to investigate, and he must find out!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty! Slaves obey! The herald had never seen the old king so angry, and he was so frightened that he immediately ran out and went to inform the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was overjoyed to receive this appointment, although his father had told him to take his time to regain power, and not to provoke his opponent too much, so as not to cause turmoil, but who is willing to watch his political opponent sit on the throne? Besides, this time you brought it on yourself, and you did such a ridiculous thing, and someone grabbed the handle, and none of you could say anything, so you immediately began to investigate.
This matter is not difficult to figure out, after a careful investigation, the matter quickly came to light, the impeachment of the officials is true, the eldest prince looked at the investigation report reported by his subordinates, and smiled coldly: "This is really God help me, I think what they say this time?" Report it to the king at once. ”
