Chapter 261: Cecil's Thoughts

Cecil couldn't help but laugh a little when he looked at Prince Rex's sincere attitude, and now he realized that this prince was definitely not simple. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In fact, from the standpoint of the royal family, no member of the royal family would consider the system of acting officials to be a bad system, because the system itself is designed to maintain the strength of the royal power and allow the king to mobilize all the resources of the kingdom in the most efficient way. It seems that the situation of this eldest prince is indeed not very good, and his decision actually represents a break with the royal family.

However, there is nothing strange about breaking with the royal family, because the eldest prince now has no supporters in the royal family, since the king and his sister do not support him, then it is not a big deal to break with the royal family, although now supporting the abolition of the acting official system may limit his rights even if he becomes the king, but the problem is that if he does not do this, even if the royal power is strong, he is just marrying his younger brother, and who are he working for and who is busy for whom? In addition, who said that the promise cannot be reversed, once he becomes a king, he does not have the final say on what kind of policy he is implementing? Therefore, Prince Rex should have taken these into account and resolutely decided to support the abolition of the proxy system.

After thinking about this, Cecil replied: "The foresight of the eldest prince is really far above that of ordinary royal figures, and it is often difficult for ordinary royal figures to see the flaws of the acting official system out of their own narrow interests, but Your Royal Highness the Prince, you can jump out of this limitation. Seeing this, I think that all the people of insight in the kingdom of Sololan will sincerely think that your god is heroic, Your Royal Highness. ”

The so-called "smart people can understand it at a glance", the "people of insight" in Cecil's mouth are naturally all the wealthy families of the Soroland Empire, and even now including those nobles standing next to the second prince, seeing that the eldest prince has offered such generous conditions, their tendencies will naturally change, although the king will hate Prince Rex even more, but the king himself is no longer the figure that Prince Rex is fighting for, so what he can't get in the first place, it doesn't matter if he loses it, Rex didn't care about what his father thought.

"It is very gratifying that our kingdom has such a man of insight as Baron Xiang Augustine, and if you have time, you can come to my villa outside the city for a light meal, and I have many things to discuss with the baron." Prince Rex glanced at Cecil and said happily.

Seeing Cecil so appreciated by the prince, many people at the scene showed envious eyes. Of course, this envy may not be too much, because the situation in the kingdom is now turbulent, and it is difficult to say what will happen to Prince Rex in the end, so whether his appreciation will be a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

Hearing such an obvious overture of favor from the eldest prince, Cecil gave a deep salute: "The eldest prince's appreciation really makes Zai Cheng fearful, if the eldest prince does not dislike it, he will only say it in the future, and he will definitely be crushed in the next place, and he will not give up." Like the Grand Prince, Cecil has a standardized process for expressing loyalty. Of course, both sides know that this is only a preliminary contact, and the loyalty and appreciation expressed are only lip service, but it is better to have it than not to have it. After all, it means that the two sides already have some kind of tacit understanding that they can cooperate, and in the eyes of the prince, the current Cecil also represents the resources of the Temple of Dawn, and he is also a very valuable figure.

Rex nodded at Cecil in satisfaction, clearly using his answer. After all, this is a banquet, and you can't waste all your time on Cecil, a baron with the lowest title, so Prince Rex nodded to him and thought about the nobles behind Cecil to toast and say hello.

Cecil looked at Prince Rex's back a little playfully, it seems that the recent evolution of the situation has made this prince very troubled, and this time he came to this banquet to announce that he supports the abolition of the acting official system must be carefully designed. The risky element of this is not small, and it is tantamount to a blatant break with the king. Cecil reckoned that the prince would still enter the palace and submit a petition to the king to abolish the system of surrogate, but the king would probably still reject it. And I am afraid that he will reprimand the prince, and the prince obviously thinks of this, and this is just for those nobles.

Cecil didn't pay much attention to these power struggles in the upper echelons of the kingdom, because he was too far away from him, and it was impossible for these extremely high-level figures to get involved, but now Cecil doesn't see it that way. Changes in the upper echelons of the kingdom are also very important for their own territory, and since Prince Rex has made such a suggestion, no matter how reluctant he is, how much he has to do it, and how insincere he is. If he can get the throne, the shaking of the proxy system is irreversible. At this moment, Cecil made up his mind to side with Prince Rex.

The banquet went very well, but the prince did not stay long at the Duke of Fatam's mansion after the toast, and he soon said goodbye. He had already accomplished the purpose of his trip, so there was no need to stay long after he was done. The prince was also a man of great efficiency.

After the prince left, everyone's banquet continued, but because of the prince's words just now, everyone felt a little excited. Everyone immediately drank heartily, but Cecil didn't have much to eat, and after people had their hearts, they didn't pay much attention to things like eating, drinking, and entertainment. Cecil was still thinking about what the eldest prince had just said. It seems that the succession of the eldest prince is self-evident in its benefits to himself and these nobles.

In addition, how to help the eldest prince succeed to the throne is also a problem, the reason why the eldest prince broke the kettle is nothing more than to hope that he can get higher bargaining chips in the succession to the throne, from the excitement of these nobles present, the eldest prince's strategy is likely to have a certain effect, but the old king has been a king for decades, his political status is deep-rooted, his influence is incomparable, whether he can win the old king just with the support of the nobles, is also a question worth thinking about, what is the next step for the eldest prince? Could it be..........

Cecil suddenly thought of a possibility, he suddenly shivered, if the eldest prince really thought so, then maybe a bloody storm was inevitable, and the entire royal family was likely to have a big upheaval, did the eldest prince really plan to do this? From today's point of view, it is possible to win over these nobles only to allow the eldest prince to have a stable basic plate, but if you want to really turn the tables, you still need to start from within the royal family, and if the eldest prince's plan to turn the tables is really as Cecil thinks, it will be a big deal.........
