Remember [Biquge Chinese Network] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
Gletchev was right, while the Grand Prince was plotting, the other contenders for the throne were not idle, and they tried to add another chip to their scales as much as possible.
For example, at this time, the third prince, His Royal Highness Loris Grievous, at this time he was in the splendid Royal Theater of Shenghui City, and the stage was performing the enduring famous opera "Thirteen Days of Hell", and the wonderful performances of the singers caused thunderous applause and tsunami cheers from time to time, but His Royal Highness did not even listen to any music.
At this time, his mind was full of noise, and there was no room for any music or art. At this time, I am afraid that only his dear brother, Prince Moses Grievous, should now be called a "saint", and only the obituary of this saint's death can make him cheer loudly.
While he was waiting impatiently, he heard a knock at the door, "Which little nobleman who doesn't open his eyes?" ", he thought boredly. But he still shouted, "Please come in." At the same time, already on the face with an amiable mask.
For the third prince, who has always been known for being a corporal and approachable, the request of the enthusiastic nobles must not be rudely refused, otherwise after the tongue chewing of the long-tongued women at those balls, his good image that he has worked hard for many years will be ruined.
The embankment of thousands of miles, collapsed in the anthill, and the hugging wood was born at the end of the millennium. His Royal Highness has always paid attention to such details.
As the door of the box opened, a voice came, "May I ask Your Highness, what do you want to drink?"
It turned out to be a waiter at the Grand Theater, and while the third prince breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, thinking about how this waiter was so reckless and rude, and just wanted to reprimand, but after seeing the person who came, he swallowed all the follow-up reprimands.
"You're here at last, dear Lord Duke. As if his face had changed, a warm smile immediately appeared on the third prince's face, "When you agreed on the location at the Grand Theater, I was a little puzzled, how could you choose such a large place, I didn't expect you to dress up like this." The third prince looked at the Duke of Mortier, who was dressed as a waiter, and sighed.
"How dare I not come when you are so called. It's not easy to find a private place to meet, so I thought about it, is there a more private place than the box of the Grand Theatre?", laughed the Duke of Mortier.
"You're as cunning as ever. ”
So, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, the two hugged warmly, which really didn't look like a prince and a big nobleman should be like when they met.
After hugging, the two sat down, and the Duke of Mortier said with some regret: "It's a pity that I came in disguised as a waiter, and I don't have any chance to call a good bottle of wine. ”
Listening to the words of this great nobleman, the Duke of Mortier turned out to be friends with the third prince, a middle-aged nobleman, and a very young prince turned out to be friends, I don't know what kind of strange fate there is.
"As long as the big thing is done, not to mention the ordinary goods in this big theater, it is the wine cellar in the palace, and you can taste it. ", the third prince promised with a smile.
"You, you always promise such seemingly tempting benefits, how easy it is to refuse. "But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time, and the answer from the House of Elders is no." ”
The smile faded from the face of the third prince, as if it had suddenly faded on a bright canvas, revealing a miserable whiteness, "May I ask my dear Duke Mortier, has he really conveyed my wishes well? ”
Mortier shook his head, "You are not unaware of the situation in the House of Elders, it is complicated, it is divided into several factions, and they are attacking each other, and it is not easy to get them to agree. ”
"I don't think it's a difficult thing, now that the ambitions of the Holy Sect are exhausted, I don't think those nobles will fail to see it. Now, even with the royal family on the side, the Holy Church can still use the name of the Holy Scriptures to arrest nobles for introspection and teaching. If the Holy Sect had overwhelmed the royal family and taken control of the country, would the nobles still have a good life? Do these fellows want to live in fear all day long, just like those mages, and at some point they will be imprisoned in the black prison of the Inquisition and never see the light of day?", the third prince retorted.
"The current aristocracy and the violet royal family are cold lips and teeth, and the interdependent relationship is like a grasshopper on a line, if the royal family really falls, the aristocratic system will collapse, and in the future St. Teresa will become the world of the clergy, I think these nobles should be able to understand. ”
"None of you are fools, of course you can see clearly, in fact, it only took thirty minutes for the House of Elders to vote in favor of the decision to counter the Holy Religion. Mortier gestured with his right hand to a three.
"Then why did you refuse me?", the third prince said coldly.
"If you are the only prince other than Prince Moses, then there is no doubt that everyone will support you. But the problem is, in addition to you, there are also the eldest prince and Princess Sophia, compared to the discussion of who to support compared to the counter-attack of the Holy Sect, the Elders' House has been arguing for three whole days, and in the end, the quarrel is almost out of the brain, and several old gentlemen almost had a heart attack and ascended to the Holy Shrine, but there is still no unified result. Mortier shook his right hand.
The third prince looked at Mortier's three fingers and felt extremely glaring, "Whether it is Lance or Sophia, they can't offer more generous terms than me." Besides, I know what you're capable of, dear Duke Mortier, and if you try your best to convince those old fellows, can you?"
The third prince knows too well the ability of the man in front of him, he can become the external spokesperson of the House of Elders, not by virtue of his name of the Mortier family, in fact, in the House of Elders, although there are not many more powerful families than the Mortier family, but there are also ten fingers, Mortier can stand out from it and become the person who stands on the bright side, because he is the only one among the various factions of the House of Elders who can be accepted by every faction.
The world says that His Royal Highness Loris Grievous, the third prince, treats people like a spring breeze, but the third prince himself knows that when it comes to interacting with people, this Joseph Mortier can be called a long-sleeved dancer.
