Chapter 522 When you calculate others, others are also calculating you, so don't have any psychological burden
When he returned to his manor, he immediately called Joseph to his study, closed the door, walked over to Joseph, pressed him by the shoulder, and sat him down on the sofa, and then sat down next to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Looking at Prince Kant's contemplative face, Joseph's heart was clear, and he waited in silence for Prince Kant to speak first.
After about three minutes, Prince Kant bowed slightly, and then looked up at Joseph, "Is there any way to free me from the constraints of Pilagos?"
During the time he lived here, Prince Kant felt the most about not being free. Of course, this is not to say that Pilagos restricts his personal freedom and does not allow him to move around or leave the manor at will, but that no matter what he does, there are one or more pairs of eyes watching his every move, even when he hangs out with skilled women at night.
He also knew very well that Pilagos did not seek out him and hold him up for his own good, let alone to be truly loyal to him. Pilagos's real goal was to find a way to put him on the throne, and then to control the entire empire by manipulating him. In Pilagos's eyes, he was a puppet. The puppet's life is not easy, even if he has received the allegiance of many nobles, both openly and covertly.
But as long as he remains in this land and does not get rid of Pilagos's sphere of influence, there can be no freedom, no autonomy.
On the surface, he was already a little tired of Pilagos, tired of his control over him, and at the same time trying to show himself as "naïve" as possible. He didn't know if it would be useful to do so in front of Pilagos, and he didn't know if it would cause Pilagos to be more vigilant.
But today, he decided to find a way to get rid of Pilagos's control, and the reason was a letter from the old emperor Orlando VI to him.
Through this letter, he has learned very clearly that the old emperor is not actually on his side, at least so far, it seems that the old emperor does not support him. But he didn't care, the letter made him make up his mind.
When ambition is not there, it is like a calm grassland, a gust of wind blows, which may blow down the weeds, but it will not let the weeds burn. And ambition is the falling Mars, maybe it's a thunderbolt, maybe it's a meteorite falling from the sky, in short, once ambition is ignited, it will uncontrollably and quickly make the entire grassland burn.
The ignited ambition cannot be extinguished, and if before that, he was still eating and waiting for death in Hagrid's province, thinking about the use of every gold coin, then he might be able to do what he had to do under such a letter, surrender to the arrangement of fate and fate.
But now, he was going to say no, no to fate, no to Orlando VI and to Empress Pars.
He had almost the entire royal family of his generation to support him, and so many nobles sworn allegiance, even if he couldn't return to the imperial capital and kick Empress Pars off the throne of the Orlando Empire, it would be enough to rule with Empress Pars. He didn't ask for much, and from the city of Moria in Hagrid, he was in charge of the western part of the empire, while Empress Pars was in charge of the central and eastern regions.
In his opinion, this is not impossible. He is also a member of the Orlando family, and he also carries the sacred blood of the Orlando family, even if the land is divided, the rulers on both sides are surnamed Orlando, this is not a division or a rebellion, this is just a reasonable demand.
He's going to establish a principality!
Then the most important problem to be solved first is Pilagos.
With Pilagos pinning him, he could not stand up and wave the banner and gather those nobles under his command. Pilagos's power in the land has long been ingrained, from nobles to untouchables, and it is not the Orlando family who is afraid of the imperial family, but Pilagos himself.
Joseph thought about it for a long time, or he thought about it a long time ago.
Wren asked him to come and propose a plan for Pilagos to get Prince Kant out of Hagrid, not to provide Pilagos with a perfect puppet, but to make Prince Kant independent as soon as possible. Only if he becomes independent as soon as possible and forms an east-west political confrontation with Empress Pars in the imperial capital, can he meet Wren's demands.
To overthrow the ruler of an empire is not something that can be done by force alone, but first of all, to make people lose hope in the ruler. How can we make people lose hope in the ruler? It is nothing more than to knock the ruler off the altar of God and let people know that the ruler they want to fear is not a god, but just an ordinary person. Man is a creature that is humbled when faced with creatures that are clearly stronger than himself.
But when they face their own kind, they show brutality engraved in their bones.
The royal family, which has lost all kinds of halos, is equivalent to losing its "value" for the Desi people under the influence of great chauvinism.
Human beings themselves are full of all kinds of bad roots, but at the same time, they also yearn for light and sacredness. Since ancient times, human beings worshiped totems, and in people's daily life, there has been a need, a spiritual sustenance, and something enough to sustenance beliefs.
It can be something as simple as a piece of wood, a stone, a huge tree. It can also be certain creatures, such as a powerful monster, some powerful gods, or even a powerful person.
In the values of the Desi people, the royal family represents the totem pole in their minds. When the totem pole is no longer sacred, they will abandon the waste and find a new harbor and sustenance for their souls.
It is not an easy task to overthrow the Orlando family rule without force, but Wren has done it well enough, and now all Joseph needs to do is add a little more weight to the weighing pan of the scales.
"Perhaps, you can do this!", Joseph showed a look of wisdom beads in his hand, his eyes were lowered, his lips moved slightly, he raised his hand with a smile, and rubbed his thumb on the second joint of his index finger, looking a little like a businessman in a commercial district.
Prince Kant's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "How to do it?"
Joseph smiled indifferently, "Trouble!"
"Trouble?", Prince Kant paused, "Can trouble free me from the grip of Pilagos?"
Joseph nodded seriously, "When you can't afford the trouble, he will take the initiative to give up on you!"
