The Marquis of Rhine sighed.

As one of Orlando VI's most trusted courtiers, the Marquis of Rhine can be said to cover the sky with one hand in Nawulechen, and take care of the granary of the empire smoothly. Who knew that the old emperor had not died of old age

Orlando VII, that is, Empress Pars, hastily ascended the throne and became the new emperor. Although the new emperor ascended to the throne in a hurry, his power did not decrease in the slightest

, under the influence of the traditional concept of a generation of emperors and ministers, the Marquis of Rhine, who has always done a very good job, was kicked away by Empress Pars.

He was also the governor and ruled the entire province, but his actual status had declined considerably.

This time it was also a good opportunity for him and Wren to complain.

Wren is no longer the young man he was two years ago and still needs the Marquis of Rhine to help him politically, he has dozens of votes in his hands for the resolutions of the Imperial Diet, and he is already faint

A gate valve is formed. Maybe it's not very conspicuous yet, but no proposal can get around this young man. On the political battlefield of the empire, he has loomed, occupied

According to one side of the sky.

"I want to go back to the imperial capital. The Marquis of Rhine has the demeanor and temperament of an old-school aristocracy, polite and elegant, and carries a strong aristocratic atmosphere in every move. Even the up

Black teacup, he also only used two fingers. "I'm not having a good time over there, you know, the lords don't buy it a lot of the time. I'm no longer young, I've lost my youth

I want a stable life more than constant confrontation with each other in the conspiracy all the time. ”

The Marquis of Rhine said these words with the slightest concealment, he was an upright young man when he was appointed by Orlando VI, and he was not afraid of those stubborn local forces

In the war, all opponents were cut off, and a province was firmly controlled. He's old now and has more to think about.

The glory of the family, the honor and disgrace of the individual, and the planning of future generations...... , and many, many things that are enough to make him scruple and tie his hands and feet.

Thirty-one years ago, he had personally led people to attack a lord's fiefdom at night, and he took the lead and personally killed thirteen enemies. Now, he faced those who were weaker than him, but they were in a group

The little lords, however, could only slowly toss them like boiled frogs in warm water.

Politics is the scale, weighing the value of every politician. If you can't reflect your superhuman value, you will naturally lose your value. Empress Pars transferred the Marquis of Rhine

, I also want to let this old guy with deep-rooted power change places and don't hinder her. She also deliberately chose a difficult opening for Count Rheinland, for fear of this old man

Once again, the guys are rising fast.

Wren nodded, "I'll do it at my discretion, but Uncle Rhine, you should know that even if you return to the imperial capital, there won't be too good a place waiting for you." ”

There are so many departments in the empire, one radish and one pit, it has long been filled, and there are still many radishes in line. Even if the Marquis of Rhine returns to the imperial capital, I am afraid that he can only do one

The noble and idle officials retired in a fishpond-like department, spending their remaining years.

The Marquis of Rhine smiled indifferently, he put the teacup back on the coffee table between the two, crossed his legs, and put his hands on the armrests easily, "It doesn't matter, at my age."

I should enjoy my old age in peace, struggle and creation are the business of young people, and that has nothing to do with me. He meant that his responsibilities had been done, and everything that followed

and will give it to his son.

Of course, we will not give up the title at that time, because once he gives up the title, the marquis becomes an earl, and it becomes worthless.

Regarding the mentality of Rhine, Wren also has a little emotion, the work of the Marquis of Rhine has become difficult to do, in fact, it has something to do with him. The establishment of party affiliation has led many people to find the so-called "

Beliefs" and "Ideas". These two things are very simple and easy to say, but before that, many people do not have an accurate concept. A lot of aristocrats are purely for

Fighting for their own interests, they could not find a single unifying factor that allowed the vast majority of nobles to truly unite together.

But now it's different, common interests and common ideals have connected many nobles who were originally a little strange or even unpleasant. Face the lord of the huddle

Everyone, no matter how great Rhine's ability is, he doesn't have the ability to achieve immediate results before he divides these people.

Wren was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned, Ganwen was hiding behind the truth party to make trouble, and he had already vaguely guessed the purpose of Empress Pars. Gan Wen is the prime minister, he is in charge

It was the will of Empress Pars, and now that he was standing in the foreground, there must be the shadow of Empress Pars behind him. Originally, Wren could have left this matter alone, because no matter the Queen of Pars

The purpose is not as he thinks, and in the end there will be no harm to him.

But now there was clearly a golden opportunity, and the Count of Rhine wanted to return to the imperial capital, so he provided Wren with a powerful cannonball. The Count of the Rhine's biggest capital is not

The political resume he is proud of is not his extensive connections, but his title. Marquises, if not hereditary marquises, were influential in the aristocratic class

Status.

A marquis is by no means comparable to a group of counts. Once the Count of Rheinith is used on the blade, the effect it plays is by no means imaginable to ordinary people.

In an instant, Wren had a decision. He told Count Rhein what he thought, and after hearing this, Count Rhein fell into deep thought. Wren's idea made him not

Often surprised, this is clearly related to the question of political line. In Orlando's 373 years of national fortune, there has never been a clear stand on the opposite side of the royal family without being attacked

Shen exists.

Even if he didn't do it obviously, as long as he complied with Wren's request, he would inevitably clash with Empress Pars.

However, the prospect Wren described to him was enough to move his heart, and he hesitated again and again, and did not reply immediately, and needed to be considered again and again before he could reply to Wren. What about Wren, too

There is no rush for a moment, it is just a flash of inspiration. Implement, or not implement. There was nothing to lose for him.

Rhesitant to leave, Wren chose to rest, he had to hold a coming-of-age ceremony in the evening, and now he had to get enough rest.

The coming-of-age ceremony was originally a ritual activity that survived from the time of the ancient gods, and people who lived in the barbarian era have become responsible in order to prove that their children have become responsible

People, mature people, they gave birth to a tradition that on the day of their children's coming of age, they need to go hunting a wild beast alone to prove their growth. This custom has always been

It has been handed down to this day, but of course the specific content has also changed.

The rite of passage became an exclusive ritual for the nobles, who would kill a powerful beast to prove their bravery and maturity. In fact, this giant beast has already passed

Treatment, not to mention paralysis, the muscles and ligaments of the limbs were also severed. Dying, it became a fatal knife made up by the nobles. The next step is to sacrifice to the gods of the four directions, as well as to the ancestors.

In the Desi conception, ancestors are more sacred than gods.

Because there are no gods, people can still live.

But without ancestors, there is no current self, which is why ancestor worship will be put last.

A complete set of rituals doesn't take long, and after all of this last night, it basically means the perfect end of the rite of passage. But as an aristocrat, a politician, obviously simple

The coming-of-age ceremony was definitely not enough, so there was a dinner party for the participants to connect with each other.

In short, the coming-of-age ceremony is fundamentally a political event with a coming-of-age ceremony as the starting point.

Wren had rested for less than an hour and a half before Funkos had to wake him up, and it was too late to go back to sleep. After changing into formal clothes, sit on the frame and rush to Rennes

The gate of the palace is less than 300 meters away.

The watery carriage on the road moved as far as possible for Wren to get out of the way, until the gate of the palace, where Wren was getting out of the carriage. His appearance attracted almost everyone

Gaze. As the well-deserved protagonist of this evening, Wren was very reserved. He kept nodding his head and greeting the people around him who called his name, without showing strangeness or disdain

After looking at it, he showed an appropriate sense of frontal distance.

After entering the gates of the palace, Wren breathed a sigh of relief. In his original intention, he didn't want such a grand ceremony, he was not a person who liked to be lively. But

Whether this ceremony was held successfully or not represented him and the face of the Alcanian family, he had to hold this ceremony well, and it must be brilliant enough.

Empress Pars, who had been waiting within the walls of the palace, immediately greeted her, and naturally took Wren's arm, and some of the nobles showed shocked expressions on their faces, which also made many people

There was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

As the most prominent political figure in the Empire, Empress Pars's every move often has a special meaning in politics. She was so naturally holding Wren's arm today

Does that mean she's reached some sort of agreement with Wren?

Amendment proposals.

"You've got to make it up to me. Wren tilted his head slightly and whispered. Of course he knew what Empress Pars was doing, she was just creating an illusion that she wanted to do to all

The message was expressed that Wren was in favor of the Pravis proposal.

Empress Pars behaved like the other half of today's protagonist, smiling and constantly signaling to the people who came to attend Wren's coming-of-age ceremony, and whispered quietly, "What do you want to do?"

Do you still want to ** me?", she suddenly turned her head to look at Wren, and there was a faint provocation on the corner of her mouth, "There is a kind of you coming in front of so many people, be careful that I shout."

Come. ”

Wren pouted his teeth and showed a helpless expression, as if Empress Pars was playing a role-playing game and hid at night, "I've heard about those proposals put forward by Prime Minister Gamwin and the Truth Party, Hara."

Then I support it. ”

In fact, there is a second half of this sentence, which is what do you want to convince me.

Why do politicians like to say half a sentence and let others guess what they say? On the one hand, it is to express its will without leaving a handle, and on the other hand, it is to test the right

The bottom line of the party.

"What do you want?", in the face of cheers and exclamations from time to time, the Empress Pars waved frequently.

"What do I want?", Wren asked rhetorically in the words of Empress Pars, "of course you want." ”

You want my support, no problem, then I want your support too. In less than two seconds, Empress Pars made a decision, "As long as it's good for the Empire."

”

In just a few words, a political deal has been struck. In the eyes of others, in full view of everyone, except for the two parties involved, no one found out about this transaction

Easy to exist!

This is politics, sophistry, and changeable.

Walking down the red carpet into the main hall of the palace, in front of the steps, Empress Pars took the initiative to let go of the arm holding Wren and stood aside. Wren climbed the steps alone

, Standing on the top floor, looking at the dense crowd of people with human heads, after a little contemplation, he said: "The coming-of-age ceremony is sacred!"

"I stand here today, in the name of the patriarch of my Alcanian family, in the name of the divine blood that I bear, and in the name of the great heroic spirits of my ancestors

All the guests, declare that I, the last bloodline of the Alcanian family, will complete my rite of passage!"

"The Alcanian family is a family with a very long history......

It was the most attended and widest coming-of-age ceremony in the Empire's history, and Wren had to maintain his demeanor while also advertising his family.

If it weren't for the time, he would have been eager to start with the Alcanian family during the Holy Empire, one patriarch after another, all the way to his father. Good for him

Remember the time, the short opening line is not boring and not long.

"Next, I will complete my rite of passage!", as soon as Wren finished speaking, all the gates of the palace opened from behind him, as well as the sixth-level strategic magic pedestal "Mage's Eye".

Full force to show the situation in the palace in front of everyone.

Inside the palace lay a beast curled up together, its fur stray and weak. It was a Durga cheetah from the southwestern region of the empire, a food

In the mountains and forests of the southwest, the Duarga cheetah has almost no natural predators, and this cheetah can reach six meters in length and shoulder height when it reaches adulthood

1.5 meters, 6 meters, and a maximum speed of more than 110 kilometers per hour when running.

In the food chain, it is the top being!
