Chapter 283: El's Inference
Soon after the rebellion of the Grand Prince, Grievous the Great sent a message to the entire kingdom announcing the crimes of the Medici family in the south. Later, the Southern Legion of the Kingdom of St. Teresa invaded the southern border, conquered the Medici family, and the Eastern Legion also launched an attack on the southern border soon after. The royal family's series of actions were like a series of ferocious combination punches of a boxer, which not only beat the Medici family to the ground, but also made the "amateur politicians" in Shenghui City dizzy and completely lost their judgment.
However, the nobles in the city did not have the leisure to comment casually, and they were overwhelmed by the great changes that took place one after another, and they were all racking their brains to gather information and calculate the future development of the situation in the country. The weeds floating in the wind can naturally not care, they have no right to control their own destiny, they can only keep swaying with the wind, drifting with the wind, but as the ruling class of this country, the nobles are unable to handle this feeling that their fate is not under their control, just like a tree that is constantly struggling in a strong wind, they are trying to stretch their branches, hoping to capture the bits and pieces of information, so as to grasp the movement of this strong wind.
This naturally includes the people of the Western Frontier Trading Houses, and the royal family's attack on the southern border naturally touched their sensitive nerves, and people from the western realm will unconsciously think: The royal family has already taken action against the southern border, will the next one be the western border?
On the day he learned of the royal family's attack on the South, Governor Sasha rushed to Al's mansion to ask him for advice.
"I didn't expect the royal family's response to be so fierce this time, and two legions were sent to fight together, it seems that this time Grievous the Great is bound to win. It's just that I don't know if the Medici family can hold on, if the royal family wins this time and really pacifies the southern border, I think our situation in the western border will not be good. Elder Sasha said with a long sigh.
"It's not that I'm afraid, but it's certain, this time the royal family has been planning for a long time, and it seems that everyone has underestimated the majesty who has been lying on the bed! Al also said with a rare solemnity on his face.
President Sasha was taken aback by his words, "It's been plotting for a long time, where do you start talking about this, Young Master Al, didn't the rebellion of the Great Prince happen suddenly?"
Al shook his head, "I'm not a party to this incident, and there is a lot of information and details that I don't know, but judging from the information I have now, there are a lot of doubts about this matter from beginning to end, which makes people have to be suspicious." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a biscuit and put it on the coffee table, "First of all, the sound that was announced to the whole city that night, and all the conversations between the prince and the emperor leaked out, which force did it?"
"This ......," President Sasha hesitated a little, "Now there are rumors in the market, it is said that this was done by the Holy Sect, after all, the eldest prince planted it, which is very beneficial to the second prince supported by the Holy Sect." And isn't that the same sound that resounded throughout the city as the sound of the Pope's New Year's sermon?"
Al nodded, "On the surface, this is true, but there is a key question in it: how did the Holy Cult overhear the conversation between the Great Emperor and the Great Prince, and how did the Holy Cult broadcast this conversation live to the whole city, knowing that it was the Imperial Palace, not the Holy Land. ”
"This is indeed a big problem, but the Holy Cult is huge, and maybe they have some kind of agency or secret agent in the palace. Sasha said.
"That possibility is too small, even if the defenses in the palace are a little leaky, but it will not reach this situation of leaking everywhere. In fact, why don't you imagine the other way around: everyone in the whole of Saint Hui City knows about this conversation, which side will hurt the most forces?", Al tapped on the cookie.
"The one who hurts the most is naturally the eldest prince's side, who commits rebellion and rebellion against his father, and there is no possibility of exculpating the crime. Now Prime Minister Cenarius has seized on this point, and in the name of searching for the remnants of the Great Prince, he is stirring up trouble in the city. President Sasha blurted out.
"But the Great Prince is dead, and no matter how much dirty water is poured on him, it is of little use to a dead man, and then think about which side has suffered the most?" Al continued.
"In addition to the eldest prince, the most damaged is naturally the Medici family. First of all, they put on the hat of treason, this crime is known to the whole country, it is not washed, this time the royal family justifiably conquered the southern border, and no other nobles jumped out to directly oppose it, this is the proof. Secondly, the great princes supported by the Medici family are completely out, which means that they have no influence on the next king at all. The second is that the queen was sent to the cold palace, which means that the Medici family's power in the city of Divine Radiance has been devastated, and they no longer have influence in the palace. President Sasha thought for a moment and gave his own answer.
"That's right, the Medici family is undoubtedly the one who suffered the most, so if you think about it the other way, who is the Medici family who has suffered the most damage?" Al further deduced.
"You mean the Imperial Family, this is all arranged by the Emperor in advance?", President Sasha cried out, "But if the Emperor knew in advance, why didn't he kill the Great Prince in advance, but instead sit back and wait for the Great Prince's rebellion to happen?"
"If it weren't known to the whole city, how could the royal family be able to sit on the crimes of the Medici family? There is another point you may have overlooked, it is said that the noble senate was attacked by rebels that night, but many of the famous nobles died, and a few of them were still old people who had been having a headache for the emperor, and this time they finally died. ”
"You mean to kill people with a knife!", President Sasha raised his voice sharply, and then lowered his voice as if he was afraid that others would hear it, "If this is the case, then maybe the rebellion of the Great Prince will also have the Emperor adding fuel to the fire." ”
Al sneered, "That's for sure, otherwise how could the royal family arrange all this." ”
Speaking of this, a look of shock and fear suddenly appeared on President Sasha's face, and he said expectantly: "But, if this is the case, then the eldest prince is really ...... It's really ......", he muttered two sentences, but finally didn't finish the rest of the sentence.
But Al didn't have such awe as him, he said without scruples: "If the emperor cares about family affection, the eldest prince does not have to die, he has the ability to stop the eldest prince in time." It's a pity that a dead prince is more useful than a living one, so our great Emperor Grievous can't care about a little father-son affection for the sake of the great cause of the kingdom. ", he said sarcastically, smiling.
