Chapter 661: Soaring Forward (3)
In fact, the two grandsons of the old earl came to Luo Ming's command, and he did not deliberately intend to put the younger one on the throne of the earl.
Anyway, the older one was also a mediocre person in Luo Ming's observation, and even the earl had complained in front of him before, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to control it.
But unexpectedly, this brother actually sincerely resigned for a long time, saying that he would not inherit the family business and asked to join the clean church.
His brother immediately promised to divide a whole barony and give it to his brother as a basis for his temple construction and collection of taxes.
There must have been a lot of calculations involved, such as not putting all the eggs in one basket, and having the younger brother as an earl, so that Lockin would not make any further moves if he felt that he could control it in a few years......
This is probably the wisdom of survival, even if it is a "mediocre" brother, he also has the instinct of being a nobleman.
But Luo Ming didn't say anything special about it.
If it was just a means of self-preservation, he didn't care, and he didn't intend to really annex the entire county of Mount Conle.
The two brothers or the guy who gave them ideas behind their backs, if they want to fight with the air, Luo Ming will not stop them.
If there is any conspiracy, he has full confidence to destroy it.
However, this situation really saved him some trouble, if the twenty-one-year-old brother succeeded to the throne, although Luo Ming could also manipulate him, it would take a few more steps.
And the old earl's youngest grandson is not yet fourteen years old, no matter how he counts as a minor, if he succeeds to the throne, Luo Ming will unceremoniously come forward to serve as the regent and guardian of the territory, temporarily helping him take care of some of his official duties.
In this way, Luo Ming could easily use the name of the Earl of Conle, and the county guard.
"On the orders of the Regent of Kangle Mountain, Viscount Meiquan, and the Northwest Guardian General Luo Ming, I hereby convey my will:
The army of Beran has retreated, but the remnants of the war are still there, and there are many matters that need to be dealt with urgently.
His Excellency the General also invited you to attend the celebration banquet scheduled for three days later, so as to take the opportunity to strengthen communication, exchange and unity......"
Listening to the messenger's words, the baron nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, please tell Your Excellency General, I am looking forward to this banquet." If you need anything, I will do my best to help as a host. ”
After sending the messenger away, the baron couldn't help but sigh.
When Luo Ming first emerged, he had already heard of the existence of such a number one person.
Now, three years later, the baron only feels that he is three years older, and his body and spirit have declined somewhat, and Lormin has gone from a "knight who can fight" to the de facto leader of Van Sheishire, which is really amazing.
However, reality did not leave him with time for a long sigh.
How to "cooperate with the work", what are the precautions when attending the celebration banquet, and what kind of gifts Luo Ming likes and what policies are implemented...... There are as many things to do as mountains as mountains.
If he hugged Luo Ming's thigh again at this moment, it would be the icing on the cake at best, and Luo Ming would not be able to give him much war dividends.
But he must first build a good relationship with Luo Ming to ensure that he is at least not the one who is completely slaughtered.
Although he did not directly join Belan's servant army, he was also forced to provide a small amount of food and other materials to the Beran people at the beginning, if Luo Ming put this matter on the line, it would also be completely a blow to him, and then other nobles would probably pounce on him and eat together, instead of hating the enemy for him, an unlucky individual.
