Chapter 425 In the process of-for-tat, you don't have to follow the rules, and breaking the situation is also a way
Vito didn't think about it for long, and ordered, "Let Agro come over." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Agro is Vito's eldest son, and if it weren't for the sudden loss of power by Sebis, it would not have been his turn to inherit Vito's title in the future. But fortunately, although Agro is not welcomed, he has received all the education he deserves, and at the same time, his former identity and status allow him to maintain a humble and humble attitude, which makes Vito a little more pleasing to the eye.
The word Agro means sharp thorn in Desi, and Vito must have pinned a lot of hopes on him when he was born, but each different family has a unique opinion on the way to choose an heir.
The young eldest son soon appeared outside Vito's study, and instead of smuggling in without being called, as Sebis did, he stood at the door and knocked on the door, his head lowered, his hands naturally hanging at his sides, and he called "Father" with low eyebrows.
Vito came back to his senses, glanced up at him, beckoned, pointed to the letter on the table, and closed his eyes.
Agro then stepped into the study, carefully approached the table, and without sitting down, he stood there looking at the letters on the table. His face was calm, without sorrow or joy, and there was hardly any fluctuation. He pursed his lips and put the letter together and placed it neatly in the corner of his desk, and it was then that Vito opened his eyes and looked straight at him.
"What do you think?", this is also a question for the son of the school examination, in fact, he is also very conflicted. He was eager to hear his eldest son magnanimously show his brotherly affection and affection, and he wanted him to show decisive determination. The former is about family affection, while the latter will be related to the attitude and style of Agro after he one day inherits the patriarch and title.
It is absolutely impossible for a sheep to survive long in a pack of wolves, only a hungry tiger can stand firm.
"Brother is so unreasonable......", Agro glanced at Vito and said in a cautious tone, "My idea is to be grounded and imprisoned, so that he will not have a chance to mess around." β
Vito sighed and shook his head slightly, not knowing whether he thought Agro's method was too gentle, or blamed him for being a little unkind, after all, he was a brother, and he actually wanted to trap his younger brother.
The word captivity is definitely more terrifying to the nobles than the word death.
Death is nothing but a moment of fear and pain, while confinement means a long period of mental torture. It's like tethering a prodigal who sings every night in some enclosed space. Before he realized his mistake, maybe he had gone mad or committed suicide.
Man can keep animals in cages because animals have not yet evolved such a magnificent life and great wisdom as humans, as well as the desire and pursuit of unlimited freedom. But people can't, so what every nobleman fears most is not offensive punishment, such as whipping and the like, but captivity.
Vito suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion, and who knew the bitterness in his heart? The huge battleship of the Golden Nobles was already slowly sinking, and in order to keep the family from falling to the point of becoming the dust of history, he had tried everything to revive the family. A lot of people say he's shameless, that he has a dog face, that he's a jerk. In order to gain higher status and power, there is nothing he cannot sell.
But who knows, who can understand, what is the reason for him to do this?
Not for the sake of the family, for the sake of glory?
At this critical time, Sebis has done so many things, which is obviously beyond Vito's tolerance. He had to tell Agro to tell the bastard that there were some things he couldn't do. Even in the deepest part of Vito's heart, there was a flash of killing intent.
He thought for a moment, waved his hand, lowered his head and continued to look at the documents on the table, "Go ahead now, but no matter what, he's your brother." Don't let him be a burden to us, but don't go too far. β
Agro's heart moved, and he bowed and withdrew.
Just as Vito feared, at this particular time, any truth that could be used as a weapon to attack him must be erased as soon as possible, so that there will be no accidents!
Of course, he must not have known that Wren was ready to deal with him, otherwise it would not be Agro who would have returned, but himself.
Beneath this seemingly calm lake, there is already an undercurrent surging.
After the recent combination of the Empress Pals, some of the clever aristocrats have noticed that something seems to be not quite right in the political atmosphere of the Empire. Especially the leaders of the aristocratic group in the past, such as Isaac and Pilagos, they found a trace of abnormality, first of all, those nobles, it seems that some of them are no longer so obedient. These people have unwittingly fallen to the royal family, to Pars.
By the time Isaac and the others reacted, it was too late. With a small trick, Empress Pars broke through the shackles of the Imperial Diet and got the political results she wanted in one go.
And the clever staff finally understood the good intentions of the Empress Pars - she wanted to use the law as a cage to put the privileges of the nobility in it!
Is immunity good?
It's really good for the lower nobles, but it's definitely a disaster for the big nobles, especially those like Isaac.
The worst thing a pest can do is to bite through and eat a few leaves. If you want a pest to destroy your home and country, it's too difficult. So what's the biggest bad thing a dragon can do? It's really enough to destroy a family and a country, and there will be no one for thousands of miles.
They all do their best to do bad things, and why are the results so different? The reason is that in size, the pests are small and the dragons are big.
This is just like the relationship between the empire and the nobles now, the little nobles are pests, they do bad things desperately, nothing more than tossing some troubles that don't hurt or itch. But once those big nobles want to move, it may be earth-shattering!
Immunity is a cage, and the first step is to restrain the big nobles and let go of a larger number of ordinary nobles, so as to alleviate the possible contradictions and conflicts of the aristocratic class itself. Human nature itself is evil, and even the elite-educated aristocracy is equally keen to expect bad luck from those who are higher in status and power than themselves, which is perhaps the characteristic of every intelligent being.
After solving these most troublesome big nobles, Empress Pars will start to take action against the minor nobles, completely clean up the damage of the aristocratic class to the royal family, and concentrate all power in her own hands.
Parliament?
At that point, is there a council, and is it not something that can be decided by Empress Pars with a word?
Many people may not be able to see things that far away, but they can already vaguely feel that inexplicable danger is approaching.
"I always felt that something was wrong. Isaac sat on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, as if talking to himself, as if asking someone else, "Our Emperor His Majesty could not be so kind, my father once told me that when someone puts money in your pocket, either you have what he needs, or he wants to take more money from your pocket." β
"Definitely, there must be something wrong with us that we haven't found out yet. β
The room was smoky and smoky, Pilagos frowned and sent a small nobleman next to him to open the window to breathe, he glanced at Isaac, who was suffering from gains and losses, and put down the pipe in his hand, "I think that guy from Nengalel must know something, otherwise why didn't he come this time?"
Isaac, Pilagos, and Nengalel used to meet together to discuss things about the Imperial nobility and politics, and secretly tried to stumble on Empress Pars. But this time, when Pilagos invited Nengalael, the latter actually refused! This made the two nobles, who were already a little suspicious, even more suspicious of the reason why Nengalel could not come.
Is this guy already involved with the royal family?
With the gradual frequency of shipping and the continuous improvement of ship technology, the emerging aristocratic group in the south has transformed from a poor ghost in the countryside who everyone despises into a big local tyrant, and has completed the initial and most difficult primitive accumulation in a very short time. It is precisely because of this that there is not so much dirt between the emerging southern aristocracy and the royal family, on the contrary, there is some friction and conflict between the old northern aristocracy and the southern aristocracy.
If Nengarele had defected, Isaac and Pilagos would never have taken it as a joke, but rather as if it had actually happened.
"Forget it, leave him alone, we need to come up with a countermeasure now. IfγIn the unlikely event that Empress Pars's new policy affects me, at least we are prepared and will not sit idly by. β
Pilagos nodded in agreement, the Lemon in his eyes flashing away, and he looked around. The people gathered here today are basically the core members of the two gangs, and those who are not core members cannot integrate into this circle. The good thing about the small group culture is that it is a narrow self-interested social culture, where most of the people here ultimately pursue the same interests.
Peragos's ten fingers pressed against each other, resting on the armrests of the sofa, his face was serious, and he spat out a sentence, "If one day Pars has cornered us, then why should we let her continue to be our emperor?"
The nobles in the room looked at Pilagos in disbelief!
