Chapter 261 Three-pronged

"Gotta get it", the crisp sound of horses' hooves knocked on the neat stone slabs, making the originally sparsely populated palace gate no longer so lonely.

The third prince walked out of the carriage and bowed his hand to the general on duty who came to pay homage, "I'm tired of the general, let me know." ”

After being allowed to enter the palace, the three princes strolled into the palace. "After a month, it was much colder in this palace. ", the third prince thought silently.

Since the outbreak of the rebellion of the eldest prince, the power of the queen and the party in the deep palace have been swept away, and even many palace maids and guards have been swept out, and Emperor Grievous stubbornly refuses to recruit more people, which makes the empty palace more and more quiet, and even empty to make people chill.

At this time, the third prince had this feeling, but at a distance of hundreds of steps, he saw several fallen leaves piled up together, and he had not had time to clean them, which was absolutely unimaginable before, and it can be imagined how short of manpower in this palace was.

Looking at the waxy leaves, the third prince only felt that the entire palace was like this fallen leaves, slowly withering and decaying, and maybe it would collapse when it was blown by the cold wind.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the flower room. An inadvertent sentence interrupted the thoughts of the three princes, and the three princes suddenly came back to their senses, only to find that they had walked in front of the flower house in the south.

"When have you become so sentimental?", he thought to himself, "it seems that the situation has been so tense these days that I have been disturbed." ”

"Win or lose, in one fell swoop. He clenched his fists and cheered himself on.

When I walked into the flower room, I saw that Grievous the Great was like an ordinary old man, sitting in a wheelchair to build flower branches. To the surprise of the third prince, a young man of his age was carefully pushing a wheelchair, looking quite favored and trusted by the emperor.

"Reinhardt!", the third prince immediately recognized who he was, how could he not know this popular man in the social scene back then, the crazy suitor of his sister Sophia, the two had nodded several times at the banquet.

Seeing the three princes enter the flower room, Reinhardt nodded to the three princes, and then bent down and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear. All this fell into the eyes of the third prince, and a kind of anger called jealousy suddenly ignited in his heart, "How many years have we not had such an intimate act between the three brothers and our father, you are an outsider......"

After Reinhardt's reminder, the Emperor found the three princes in the flower room. The old man seemed to be in a pretty good mood, and he greeted with a smile, "The third child is here." ”

"Yes, Father, I've come to see you. The third prince suppressed all the emotions just now in his heart, and said in a respectful and affectionate tone. In order to practice this tone, he had studied with the famous actors in Shenghui City for a while.

"Look at me, hehe, just say anything straight, third child. The Emperor waved his hand and said bluntly.

"Your Majesty, I ......," Reinhardt, who was on the side, hurriedly said.

"Hey...... You're about to marry Sophia, and you're half of my son, so there's nothing wrong with listening to the conversation between our father and son, so there's no need to shy away from it. ", interrupted the Emperor affectionately patted Reinhardt's arm.

The third prince couldn't help but glance at Reinhardt again, "This guy is not known for his rhetoric, he always had a dead face at banquets in the past, and he was the most cold, when did he please his father so much." ”

"Or is it because he is Sophia's husband, and the old man loves the house and Wuxia, and thinks very highly of him?", he interrupted his thoughts at the thought of this, and focused his mind on the conversation that was about to begin.

He had to do his best, and the next conversation was not only about him, but about the fate of many, thousands of people, and the fortunes of the entire kingdom of St. Teresa, and he had to be rigorous.

"Father, you really have to discipline the Holy Church. If this continues, this kingdom of Saint Teresa will have to change its surname!", the third prince was startled as soon as he spoke.

"You mean the conflict between the Holy Sect and those local nobles?", the Emperor asked.

The third prince nodded, and said hatefully: "Last time, you told me not to worry about the mess in Shenghui City. After listening to your words, I turned a blind eye and let the Holy Sect mess around. ”

"But this month they have gone even further, extending their poisonous hand to the little nobles in those places. Of course, they have a reason, what is blasphemy, what is coercing the people, what is poisoning the people, anyway, they are talking about them, whatever they say. ”

"But even the Six Commandments of the Holy Canon only stipulate that they can punish the nobles, how can they confiscate all the assets of the nobles?"

"When they were in Shenghui City, they just plundered the shops, industries, materials, etc. of the nobles, but now they even want to grab the land!"

"You must know that land is the foundation of a country! How can you let them do whatever they want and distribute it at will!"

"Father, if you allow the Holy Sect to expand its power like this, it will definitely be a country, and the world only knows the Holy Sect, but not our Violet Royal Family!"

The words of the three princes were full of emotion, and they all cried at the end, but it was not all acting. He was really a little panicked this time, although the development of the situation was still within his expectations, but the swiftness and decisiveness of the Holy Sect's actions still greatly surprised him.

The three princes are now really afraid of self-defeating and raising tigers. Let the Holy Sect develop, then it will really be difficult to clean up.

The Emperor listened and nodded, "Third brother, what you said also makes sense, the Holy Sect has indeed gone too far this time, what do you say should be done?" , the Emperor asked.

"First of all, you should summon the Patriarch of Lisbon and convey your desire for the Holy Church to release the nobles and return their assets and land. If the Patriarch of Lisbon is not in charge, you may convene a meeting between you and the Pope to discuss the matter. ”

"But we must not put our hopes in the Church itself, we must act on our own. I've heard that the Holy Cult has even sent out the cathars stationed in the Sanctuary for this operation. I suggest you send the city guards out as a deterrent. Now there are no forces in Shenghui City that can threaten the palace, and it is a pity that this city guard is stationed in the city in vain. ”

"Finally, you can summon the noble representatives of the House of Elders to appease the nobles on behalf of the royal family. At this time, these nobles were all frightened by the Holy Sect, and their hearts were panicked, and the six gods had no master, and this was the best time to win them over. ”

"Such a three-pronged approach, both soft and hard, can not only curb the development momentum of the Holy Sect, but also gain the support of the nobles. This is my little opinion, please advise. The third prince elaborated his views in detail.
