Chapter 446 Only those who can be ruthless to themselves can be ruthless to others
Prejudice, strictly speaking, doesn't exist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
If it weren't for Vito's power and ambition, Wren's father would not have died suddenly, and "Wren" would not have been assassinated and poisoned, and finally died of soul exhaustion, allowing the current Wren to take advantage. Not only did he get a good body, but he also inherited the extremely glorious title and status of the golden noble. Perhaps, in a way, Wren also thanks Vito for his ruthlessness, whether it was an assassin arranged by him or not, the final result helped Wren a lot.
If there was no assassin, if the poison used by that assassin was not acting on the soul level, perhaps Wren would have to be a third party in the body of "Wren", watching this waste spend his life like garbage. The moment when "Wren" went to death was also the day when he Wren fell into a deep sleep forever.
Thanks to Vito, thanks to that assassin, thanks to that unique poison!
The waste "Wren" left, leaving him behind, dominating the body.
So why does Rennes now find ways to drag Vito into the water again and again, and pit him again and again?
There are two reasons for this.
First, the question of universal values. In the Orlando Empire and even in the whole world, the sudden death of Wren's father is indirectly related to Vito, to use the civilian style of brutality and unreasonableness, his father was killed by Vito, so as a son, as the successor of the Alcanian family, he must do something, such as revenge. Universal values are often used by those in power as a means to manipulate foolish people, but sometimes they can also become a noose to hold themselves hostage.
For more long-term purposes, he must not have too many personality flaws, such as the fact that even if Vito kills his father, he can still be friends with Vito. If they did, they probably wouldn't have felt anything, and it wasn't just once or twice that happened. But it is difficult for the common people to accept that the rulers are still built on a kind of cornerstone called "common people", which cannot be recognized by the cornerstone, and high-rise buildings are at risk of collapsing at any time and place.
This is also where the "great righteousness lies", using pathos to add points to one's own political goals.
So, Wren has a reason and must do it.
As for the second point...... , Vito is in Wren's way.
The Golden Aristocracy is a group that has a very special place in Orlando's political system, and the Golden Aristocracy is not only the cornerstone of the empire, but also has a competition with each other that no one is aware of.
The Orlando family, as one of the most powerful golden nobles, became the royal family of the empire, and even the name of the empire was the surname of the Orlando family. People may not have a subjective sense of what power and power bring, but there is a point of view in the values of all people. This view comes from the Holy Covenant and the Charter, which states that when the royal family is weak and threatens the continued existence of the nation, other golden surnames can take their place.
It's like a game of self-denial, a fact that everyone may have overlooked, and even the Empress of Pars didn't realize the meaning of the provisions that were used as a fig leaf to disguise the pale covenant and the shameless division of power. People just subconsciously want to do something, and they may not realize what they are doing until everyone does it.
But if one day, a certain family name is so strong that even the royal family needs to back down, they will suddenly find that the original royal family name, or even the name of the empire, can be changed. This is not a rebellion from below, but a power given to them by the charter and covenant.
There is also an important thing here, and that is the danger of endangering the country. Where did this come from? In Wren's view, it certainly came from within the Empire. A ruling institution that is backward and failing, may seem like a fool's errand, but at least it is not something that can be easily destroyed by external forces. The canonization system, that is, the feudal system of princes in ancient China, does have great potential hidden dangers, but if the central power is extraordinarily strong, the local government does not dare to cause chaos and maintain the unity on the surface, it is difficult for external forces to destroy the country.
In this way, everyone is actually racing, and in the process of running, Antun pushed the Alcania, causing the runner who was okay at this speed to fall. Alcania then switched to another runner and he had to knock all the runners in front of him to the ground in order to become the ultimate champion.
So, Vito got in Wren's way.
The more he showed his ability, the more he recruited Wren's calculations, who made him run so fast?
Vito didn't know any of this, he was just a poor guy who had to bow down to the younger generation in order to secure his current position.
"Make a price, as long as it's not too much, I'll accept it. To this day, Vito also knows very well that there can be no more such a conflict between himself and Rennes, at least not for a short time. Once he's put an end to the aristocrats clamoring for him to get out of the Imperial Supreme Court and relinquish the Chief Justice, he might be able to fight Wren in a good fight. The most important thing now is to sit your ass tight, and that's the most important thing.
Seeing that Wren was silent, Vito gritted his teeth, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, "The fief will be returned to you!"
Fief!
Wren's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Vito for the first time.
This is a ruthless man!
For a nobleman, nothing can be without, but only no fiefdom can be without. The nobility could not extract much wealth from the fiefdom, and it stands to reason that the fief should not be important. But many people ignore that a fief is equivalent to an independent kingdom for the nobility. Yes, the fief has to pay taxes every year, but in addition to this, the fief itself and the people in the fief have nothing to do with the royal family.
Just like when Wren was the lord of the city in Ortlenburg, he called the people of Ortlenburg "my people". And the object of the Altrenburg allegiance is also Wren, not the distant Orlando family. Fiefdom means a steady stream of soldiers, it means great strength. Those nobles who don't have a fief rack their brains and even want to recognize their father everywhere, and they also want to get a fief for their family, and the reason is here.
A fief is the foundation of a family!
The fief of the Alcanian family was "managed" by Vito in the political storm three years ago, and the so-called management on behalf of the Alcanian family is actually a legal plunder, who let the Alcanian family sink into the sand in that turmoil? The meat swallowed by the Ancanian family, Wren did not think about coming back, but at this time, Vito actually did not hesitate to return this fief that the Alcanian family had operated for 370 years to Wren, which shows how anxious Vito has been.
At the same time, you can also see that this person's mentality, wrist and courage are far from being as simple as he shows.
At this moment, Wren was moved, really moved.
He straightened his waist and changed his sitting position, his fists squeezed and squeezed, and the temptation was really not small.
He looked at Vito, and Vito looked at him, one cautious and the other sincere.
Wren shook his head slowly, and Vito frowned, "I will compensate you for five years of fief income!"
If before, Wren thought that he could control the overall situation, then at this moment, he has realized that things are far beyond his calculations.
It's like a person who usually grins at people, suddenly carrying a knife, and still has a smile on his face as always, but this smile and the previous smile must not be compared.
"I don't want a fief, and since I've lost it, I don't want to get it back. Wren said slowly word by word, he needed to think and calculate, "Since you are so sincere, it is not a good thing for you and me to refuse to continue...... In this way, the distribution of Tiberium spars in exchange for our mutual understanding. ”
Vito had already decided to cut off a piece of meat on himself to satisfy Wren, who would never be able to fill his stomach, and even did not hesitate to return the fief to Wren, but Wren actually gave him such an answer, which caught him off guard. The distribution of the Tiberium spar veins was indeed important, but for a family of such status and status as the gold nobles, it was far less important than the fief. This made Vito hesitate a little, but he was a very decisive person, and he immediately made a decision and agreed.
"I don't want any of the mining rights in Bell Province to you, and I will compensate you for the income of the fief for five years, which is my compensation and apology for what I have done in the past!"
