Chapter 260: The Prince's Attitude
Prince Rex began to talk with the nobles around him, which was completely different from the happy atmosphere just now. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the rest of the people were no longer interested in talking, and they were all trying to listen to what Prince Rex and the people around him were saying with their own ears. Cecil was also eating absentmindedly, but Prince Rex himself was very natural when talking to the surroundings, and there was no politeness at all.
Prince Rex was the most seated by the master, Duke Fatam and his other confidant, Duke Presler, Prince Rex mainly talked to these two people, these two people also had no intention of eating, and they talked to the prince without a match, and the prince was full of praise for the cook in Duke Fatam's mansion, but the prince had already eaten a pork leg of roast suckling pig before the two of them ate much.
Rex and the two dukes talked about some inconsequential issues, but as they talked, when talking about the policy of the kingdom, Cecil listened carefully to Prince Rex's speech, and every word and deed showed that Prince Rex was a visionary person, and many politicians had to nod their heads again and again, in terms of reputation from the outside world, he was far inferior to his younger brother Prince Lucas, but judging from what Cecil saw and heard tonight, Prince Rex could be called a visionary. Maybe Prince Lucas is even better? Cecil couldn't help but start wondering.
While Cecil was still thinking about things, he suddenly saw Prince Rex walking towards him. Cecil was shocked, and hurriedly picked up his glass, and the Count of Cassikud, who was beside him, obviously did not expect it, and hurriedly got up and flashed to the side, vacating his seat to His Royal Highness the Prince, who was walking over.
"You're the unusually eye-catching Baron Cecil lately, aren't you?" The prince smiled and said to Cecil, although it was a smile, but it gave Cecil immense pressure. It made him feel as if there was a powerful coercion, and it seemed that this Prince Rex was extremely extraordinary in terms of personal strength and ability.
"The prince is false, I am Cecil." Cecil bowed deeply to Prince Rex and replied without humility or arrogance. "I can make some achievements, thanks to your appreciation of the King and the Prince, and you are willing to give me the opportunity, so I have today's small achievements."
"You're wrong" Prince Rex interrupted Cecil without hesitation, "You have nothing to do with me or my father's appreciation today, we appreciate you because you are capable, otherwise we wouldn't give you the opportunity, and you can't grasp it if we give you, there is an old saying that opportunities are always given to those who are prepared, aren't they?" “
After hearing this, Cecil hurriedly humbled a little: "I don't have any ability, the reason why I have some achievements is all because the king canceled the setting of the acting officer, so that the subjective initiative of each of our lords has been greatly exerted, self-improvement, enterprising and self-improvement, so we have such achievements." It's not enough to worry about it. ”
Cecil was very clever, and when he arrived here, he mentioned the matter of the next deputy to win the envy of the nobles. Cecil also kept a cautious eye, using his own example to show that the proxy system is a stumbling block that hinders the development of the territory, and hopes that the majority of nobles can support the abolition of the proxy system, so as to better build their own territory.
When Prince Rex heard this, he smiled and said: "I also know that the system of acting officials has very big drawbacks, and I am also very dissatisfied with this system. I am ready to propose to His Majesty the King the abolition of this system, but it is a pity that I am a man of small words, alas, not much more.
As soon as this sentence came out, it was a time bomb, not only Cecil stood on the spot in shock, but also the various nobles sitting below. Prince Rex's statement is really weird, and the consequences he caused can be said to be completely unpredictable.
This sentence means that the prince affirmed Cecil's achievements because he got rid of the constraints of the surrogate system, although Cecil himself knew that this was not a fact at all, but it was not a fact that it was not important, what mattered was how the prince determined it, which was the most important thing for the surrogate system. That is, Prince Rex has made it clear that Cecil's merits are solely due to the abolition of the system of surrogacy, and he agrees. Not only did he agree, but he also wrote to the king to abolish it. This is truly a shocking event.
So will Prince Rex really think so from the bottom of his heart, Cecil thought to himself that if he really thinks so, it would be a hell of a sight, the agency system harms the interests of the nobles, but it is the king and the royal family who get the benefits. This system was not established by the king patting his head, but when the founding of the country was founded, after a big nobleman's open guns and arrows and even various wars, the founding king's hands were stained with the blood of the founding heroes on the basis of the basis for the implementation of the acting official system. Now because of Cecil's words, Prince Rex thinks it makes sense? Joke.
Even Cecil was sure that Prince Rex had vowed to report to the king about the abolition of the proxy system, but he would certainly not do it, and if he did, the old king Hareton would be able to give him two big mouths directly. Who doesn't know that the old king Hareton has been in power for decades and is the defender of the acting official system, except for this time Cecil and the other ten people are overstretched in the kingdom, and they all adopt the system of acting officials. And even Cecil, since the kingdom and the orc empire reached a peace agreement, they have also been constantly worn by the king in small shoes, and the Cecil family can still support the great business, but the other nine lords can't hold it anymore. Therefore, if Prince Rex was smart, he would not have asked the king this kind of question at all, not to mention that the king himself chose his younger brother, even if the king chose him, he dared to ask this kind of question now, it was enough for the old king to change his choice.
So why exactly did Prince Rex say that? Cecil had the same heart as Spiegel, for the simple reason that Prince Rex was now completely behind his brother Lucas in the race for the throne, and he desperately needed the strength to support him. If he doesn't have enough strength to support her, I'm afraid he won't be able to compete with his younger brother at all, his speech is actually for all the nobles, I'm afraid his speech today will soon get out, he Prince Rex is in favor of abolishing the acting official system!
