Chapter 203: Sincerity
Lin Ling didn't mind giving Caiyue Pleiades a chance, after all, if you really have to think about it, Caiyue Pleiades does have the value of cultivating.
This can be seen from the original book.,Although I didn't understand anything at first.,Although I don't know how many times I stumbled and stumbled.,But you really have to care about the growth speed.,Caiyue Pleiades is already the kind of person who grows up quickly.。 And what Lin Ling values the most is the resilience of Caiyue Pleiades - not everyone can face the future with a smile after dying so many times, just because Caiyue Pleiades has surpassed many people.
So after Caiyue made his choice, Lin Ling arranged for him: the cultural class was taken with Firut - these two children are currently illiterate and urgently need to make up for the class, and Lin Ling asked him to study with the sword ghost with him in the initial training of combat. It can be said that in terms of teaching quality, Lin Ling is not ambiguous at all.
Naturally, Cai Yue Pleiades himself had no opinion on this arrangement, and Ku Lu Xiu once again reminded Lin Ling to pay attention to whether there was a problem with Cai Yue Pleiades, but Lin Ling prevaricated with a sentence of "I am measured".
Subsequently, at the request of the Sage Society, Lin Ling and Filut also conducted an appraisal of their blood relationship, and the result of the appraisal was not unexpected - Filut was indeed a royal bloodline.
However, in view of the special form now, Firut's abduction fourteen years ago was also disgraceful, so at the request of the Sages' Association, Filut's princess identity was not announced to the world, but only made public in the aristocratic circle, so that all the nobles knew that Lugonica had such a princess and dragon witch. [Although Firut is not the child of the first king, but the child of the first king's younger brother, she is still called a princess in Lugnica]
As for the fact that Firut, the recovered princess, did not live in the royal city but lived in the Kalustan mansion, and was taught by Kuruxiu, who was also a dragon witch, some people naturally jumped out to raise objections, questioning whether this was unfair, and even questioned whether Kuruxiu was using the teaching to eliminate the opponent.
Naturally, nothing changed in the end of these people's doubts, after all, Kuluxiu himself had many supporters, as well as Lin Ling's support in secret, and Firut's recognition on the surface. However, their information arrived in Lin Ling's hands that night, and he sorted out the connections between them one by one and deduced the people behind them.
The relationship between Luganica's rulers is complex, with the Magi as the largest ruling group, the Dukes such as Kurucius as the second-class ruling group, and the small groups attached to the major rulers, forming a complete upper society.
However, the relationship between these people in power is very delicate, for example, although the Wise Men Association competes with the major dukes for interests all the year round, but most of the big bosses in the Wise Men Association have dukes who support or are optimistic, and when they are a whole, they are opposed to each other, but when they are individuals, they are connected to each other, thus forming an intricate web.
And as qualified officials [Harmony] bureaucrats, these people in power basically have their own skills of turning their faces and denying people—don't look at the many people who support Kuruxiu in Lugnica now, that's because these people think that Kuluxiu is trying to elevate Lin Ling. If in the future, if they knew that Kuruxiu really wanted to help Lin Ling take back the royal power, and even assisted Lin Ling to reform Lugnica, promote the commoners, and move their cakes, these people would immediately perform what it means to turn their faces faster than turning books.
Of course, when they realized the benefits that Lin Ling's reform [Harmony] Revolution could bring to them within a certain period of time, as a profiteer, even someone who had wanted to assassinate Lin Ling, he would probably raise his face with a smile and pat his chest and say that he had been their supporter from beginning to end.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Lin Ling never overestimated the discipline of these nobles, and at the same time, he also knew that if he really wanted to turn things around to the next step, he first had to hold most of Lugnica's power in his hands to ensure that he had the ability to carry out the previous reforms - after all, there were too few people with a long-term vision and a keen sense like Kuluxiu, and if he wanted most nobles to take the initiative to promote the revolution [harmony], he still had to let them see the tangible benefits first.
So now finding out those nobles who don't support him, knocking them down one by one, and taking back the power that belongs to the royal family is the most important thing for Lin Ling.
And the days have returned to "calm" again under such circumstances, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. In the past half a month, nothing major has happened to Wang Du, but some officials in positions have quietly changed.
The royal capital, the residence of Carustan -
"I didn't expect you to be Count Claudia's man......"
In the study, Kuluxiu sat on the main seat with an extremely complicated expression, and said this with an indescribable disappointment in his tone, and next to her was Lin Ling, who was half a party.
And the person who was kneeling was named Giovanni, who was originally Kuluxiu's subordinate, and had followed the Carustan family for more than ten years, and there was no problem with his resume at all, and he even blocked the knife for the previous head of the Carustan family, so he was listed as a trusted henchman by Kuluxiu, and because of the "lack of people" under Lin Ling, he was temporarily loaned to Lin Ling by Kurushei.
However, who would have thought that such a person who was fine in all respects would be someone else's secret son planted in the Carustan family.
Even if it wasn't for the other party's initiative to expose, even Lin Ling didn't notice the fact that the other party was undercover.
Faced with Curousiu's disappointed words, Giovanni didn't speak, and heard the young crown prince next to him ask, "When did you do things for Count Claudia?" ”
"I have been a man of Count Claudia from the beginning." Giovanni did not refuse to answer this question, after all, he was not now arrested as a traitor, but actively exposed himself as a pawn who was activated, "before serving the Carustan family." ”
"So......" Lin Ling took a sip from the teacup on the table and said, "You sealed your memories of this period when you joined the Carustan family, right?" ”
An excellent undercover agent may be able to go undercover for more than ten years without revealing flaws, but as a person who works under the nose of Kuruxiu, it is not just a matter of excellence that Giovanni has to hide for so many years - Kuruxiu has too many opportunities to find him out, and even only needs to ask a simple "Are you loyal to me". And since it is necessary to insert an undercover agent into the Carustan family, it is impossible for the other party not to take this into account.
"Yes." Giovanni still had no intention of concealing it, and simply chose to admit it.
"Then why are you exposing yourself now?" Kurusheu's tone wasn't good when he asked this.
"Because I represent the sincerity of my Lord......" Giovanni said as he took an envelope from his bosom.
"Sincerity ...... cooperation"
