Coming out of the palace in a daze, Hudson's mind was still buzzing.

It is difficult for the new aristocracy to mix, and the boss of the new nobility is even more difficult to mix. Looking at the current situation, you can see that they don't take him to play when they start doing things.

If he had known that this was Crown Prince Caesar's calculation, he would not have bothered to come out and be the first bird to offend people.

Reason told him that if he continued to toss like this, the prestige he had accumulated on the battlefield would be lost sooner or later.

Success is also a battlefield, and defeat is also a battlefield.

Hudson knew very well that the main reason for everyone's rejection of him was not because he was a new nobleman, but because he was too perfect on the battlefield.

If he is a hundred and eighty-year-old man, it is estimated that everyone will recognize it. It's just a few days around that, just supply it high.

It's a pity that Hudson is only in his early twenties, and he can still be active in the kingdom politics for decades, and even for hundreds of years if he is thick-skinned.

Anyone with a little brain knows that this kind of potential minister must be suppressed in advance. Otherwise, let Hudson run smoothly, how will everyone's juniors mix in the future?

The conflict of core interests determines that no matter how hard Hudson tries, he cannot be truly accepted by all parties.

The current situation is: the old nobles are worried that after he becomes bigger, he will seize everyone's interests; The emerging aristocracy lacked confidence, and they had their own agendas, and they had no intention of pushing Hudson, the leading brother, to the throne.

The idea of the royal family is more complicated, on the one hand, it needs his military talent to deter foreign enemies; On the other hand, he was worried that Hudson would threaten the royal power after he became bigger.

With the combined blessing of many factors, Hudson, who is good at pulling allies, fell into an embarrassing situation of isolation and helplessness in the kingdom's political arena.

If it was just a political trouble, the point was that the vigilant stance of all parties greatly limited Hudson's actions.

Looking at the strife in the southeastern provinces, we know that for most of the time, he was forced to take the defensive rather than take the initiative.

It's not that he didn't think about a strong wave, but as soon as he remembered those heroes in history who died young, Hudson dispelled this idea.

Reason told him that as long as he dared to take the lead now, he would either die young, or he would add another general to the cult organization.

Sensei is counting on changing jobs, and he can't get along in the Alpha Kingdom, and he will only die worse if he changes countries.

It's the same everywhere, when your appearance harms the interests of others, you are a cult.

If you can't change the world, then adapt to the world. After referring to the beginnings of countless great nobles, Hudson found their common success experience, that is, "Gou".

Relatively speaking, Hudson now has a better hand. You don't even need to work hard, as long as you stay up slowly, and when you get older, you can enter the core of power.

The name is beautiful: grinding temperament, in fact, is to climb too fast, making everyone uncomfortable and insecure.

Easier said than done.

If it weren't for the fact that he had been beaten by society and was in power, he took the initiative to choose to be silent at a young age, and he really wouldn't have been able to do it.

After a cup of tea, Hudson, who had recovered his composure, began to sort out the contents of the palace meeting.

Crown Prince Caesar risked offending a number of veteran aristocrats in the country to make such a big show, there must be other reasons behind it.

Inviting the Holy See to come and be crowned may seem like a joke, but Hudson knows full well that it may not be impossible to turn it into reality.

With the current international situation, if Crown Prince Caesar dares to send an invitation, Pius VII will most likely come to preside over the ceremony in person.

Perhaps the Holy See is infamous in the eyes of the aristocracy, but its influence among the people is still deep-rooted, and even there are a group of supporters lurking within the aristocracy.

Having the support of these people is also important to securing the throne.

However, these factors alone are not enough for Crown Prince Caesar to do things so desperately. Everyone is a decent person, it's okay to hint at a wave, why say it yourself?

Even if Crown Prince Caesar can't hold his breath, the royal family's politically experienced guys will stop him. The only explanation is: deliberately!

Hudson sighed deeply as he wrote four words on the table with his fingers, "Land Annexation."

Anyone who watched Crown Prince Caesar woo knows. Either it is the Lord who has annexed his neighbors; Either it is the new rising Lord with an unstable foundation.

No wonder they dared to use a group of old aristocrats as rafts, because the two sides were on opposite sides from the beginning, and there was no room for compromise at all.

If you really dig deeper, the initiators are still the five major families in the Northland. Although they have made themselves infamous because of the land annexation, they have benefited!

It is with these benefits that they have risen from frontier lords to the top families in the kingdom.

Ready-made role models are there, and it is impossible for everyone to have no ideas in their hearts. The only problem is that there are no orcs in the south, so they can't play the trick of killing people with a knife.

Even if you introduce foreign enemies, it is not possible, in the internal strife of the human race, everyone tacitly agrees not to kill the nobles. As long as you don't die directly on the battlefield, you can basically save your life.

If you can't play with rough methods, then play with technical.

Before the rise of the Northland aristocracy, everyone's discipline was still relatively high, and they were all waiting for the decline of the small nobles before waiting for the opportunity to annex.

It's different now, it's too much time to wait for the little nobles to fall by themselves, and all careerists have learned to play tricks.

Hudson didn't know about other places, anyway, in the southeastern province in recent months, there have been more than a dozen minor nobles who have had accidents.

or a heavy fine for a crime; or the loss of money in the outside business; or the territory has been robbed; Or maybe it was because of a conflict of will, and they got into trouble with their neighbors......

No matter how reasonable the story sounds, in the end, these nobles involved were greatly hurt by the toss.

It's useless for the little nobles to find out that something is wrong, and there is no evidence in their hands, can they still expect others to take the initiative to admit it?

If you don't pierce the window paper, after the family declines, you can still keep an empty title alive; When the window was opened, he was either "killed" violently or "colluded" with the cult.

It is ironic that the biggest black hand that caused the decline of the small nobles was not a few large and medium-sized nobles in the province, but the infighting between the small nobles.

The governors and county guards everywhere only did two things - raising taxes and adding fuel to the fire.

According to this toss-up method, if the kingdom does not take timely action to stop it, it is estimated that before Crown Prince Caesar can establish his prestige, the southeastern provinces will be almost divided.

After rational combing, Hudson was surprised to find that he had underestimated Crown Prince Caesar.

No matter how big the follow-up impact is, he really shocked a group of old nobles.

Before figuring out the quality of his new boss, everyone's next actions will definitely be restrained.

After all, if the boss can't rely on high morality to convince the public, then making his subordinates afraid is also a good management method.

The main thing is to see his next performance, as long as the current strong personality is not broken, no matter how strong the political means are, it may not be possible to become the second Caesar III.

……

Early in the morning, at the funeral of King Caesar III, Hudson couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at the big nobles who attended with red eyes.

A group of old foxes were actually bluffed like this. But it's normal to think about it, people who are old and mature encounter things, and they inevitably have to think about it more.

Facing a mad king who directly flips the table without saying a word, anyone will be worried in their hearts.

With the legacy of Caesar III, the royal family now has the ability to bring down any of the country's great nobles. However, this power is still in the hands of the young and vigorous king.

Everyone is at peace, and Hudson is relieved. There will be no domestic turmoil, and no matter how tense the international situation is, it will not directly affect the kingdom for a while.

Let others go to war! Farming with peace of mind is king, and Lord Hudson is a peace-loving lord.

"Ahh

"Catch the assassin!"

……

A scream came, and the crowd immediately let out a shout of "catch the assassin", and the originally orderly funeral scene was instantly shocked by the order.

The slap in the face came so suddenly, from heaven to hell all at once, Hudson didn't know how to describe his feelings.

Now the question is:

Who was assassinated?

Was the assassination a success?

There are many big people who attend the funeral, and any death can cause a storm.

……

"Who was assassinated?"

Crown Prince Caesar asked angrily.

His father's funeral was disrupted, and his enthronement ceremony was also disrupted.

According to the tradition of the Alpha Kingdom, the old king is usually sent to the earth in the morning, and the prince receives the crown and is crowned in the afternoon.

Now that there is such a disturbance, the ritual will definitely be affected. When this kind of thing happens on the day of succession, it is a proper big "evil".

When this happens, someone has to be held responsible. But the most important thing now is to find out who was assassinated.

If a small and medium-sized nobleman in the country is fine, if a big man in the world is unfortunately killed, then it will be a big trouble.

"Your Highness, it was Prince Claude of the Kingdom of Hesse who was assassinated!"

As soon as the Foreign Minister Count Francis finished speaking, Crown Prince Caesar's face turned to ashes, and he was really afraid of something.

Originally, the Kingdom of Hesse was eager to try and wanted to wait for an opportunity to go north to get a piece of the pie, but now that this kind of thing has happened, it is simply an excuse to send the other party to the other side.

"Pass the order, let the palace guards come over immediately to maintain order and arrest the murderer!

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately sent someone over to see if Prince Claude was safe now. ”

Crown Prince Caesar decisively ordered.

Something has already happened, and the only way to remedy it is to try to do it. Now we can only hope that Prince Claude is okay, then there is still room for maneuver in everything.

What if something happens to Prince Claude......

He didn't dare to continue thinking about the terrible consequences.

The ministers on the side were also stupid. The prince of a neighboring country had an accident at his own house, and this legendary thing actually happened in front of their eyes.
