Marshal's House.

"Hudson, if we announce the result of the marriage like this, will it be too hasty, and the royal family will not look good?"

Melissa asked with concern.

This marriage was completely different from what they had discussed before, and it was purely improvised.

While the happiness of the son is important, as the heir to the family, he must shoulder his own responsibilities. In the face of family interests, marriage is also a bargaining chip.

"It's meant to make them look bad!

It took too long to assist Caesar V in coming to power. The investment and the benefit are completely disproportionate, and there will be endless suspicion in the future.

What's more, the growth of the new monarch is full of unknowns, in case he grows into a waste, or accidentally cultivates a tyrant, there is a high probability that I will have to carry this black cauldron.

Not to mention the infamy, there is a high probability that the aftermath work will also smash my hands. Pure voluntary labor, it is necessary to do it well, and it is my responsibility if something goes wrong.

The imperial city, where politics is everywhere, I don't want to stay for a long time.

Franz's marriage is indeed full of calculations in the conservative camp, but this is also what I want, and now it is just a smooth sailing. ”

Hudson said without reservation.

It's all a real thing, and there are three assistant ministers, but Hudson is the only one who can take responsibility.

The prime minister is very old, there are more than 100 people, and it is unknown whether he can live until Caesar V is in power.

Dead people don't need to be responsible for the growth of the new king.

The reputation of the Grand Duke of Madeleine was too low, and the outside world had no expectations of her at all. As long as Hudson is in the court, she can't develop.

The auxiliary minister, who has a lack of presence, may be able to ignore her by the outside world, and naturally does not need to be responsible for the growth of the new monarch.

The Queen Mother is responsible for the upbringing of the new monarch, but she is the mother of Caesar V. If it is really wasted, the outside world is also sympathetic.

The most important thing is: if Xinjun is really raised and messed around, among these people, there is enough prestige and ability to clean up the mess, and only Hudson is the only seedling.

The political struggle is brutal!

Hudson was sure that as long as he stayed in the court for a long time, Caesar V would most likely be deposed.

For the sake of their own interests, the conservative camp needs to use this matter to undermine Hudson's prestige in order to continue their faction's voice in the court.

Even within the royal family, there will be people who deliberately take Caesar V into the ditch for the sake of profit.

If you want to become a monarch, it is difficult to achieve it in ten years; But to destroy a monarch, a year is enough.

As long as these teachers talk more about the great achievements of their parents in their daily classes and daily life. Let Caesar V compare more than the fourth and third generations, and psychological pressure can ruin a person.

What's worse is that this destructive mode can't find fault with it on the surface, and even the cultivated Caesar V's personal ability is still very good.

It's just that I'm a little impatient when I do things, and I want to surpass my parents in merit. And then the more you do, the more you get wrong.

The young Julian Caesar IV had this problem. It's just that he was lucky enough to catch up with the country's rapid rise.

Even the failure of the reforms initiated was overshadowed by victories in foreign wars.

The continuous expansion of the territory has brought him a lot of achievements, and in the later period of his reign, his political achievements directly surpassed that of his father, and his mentality gradually returned to calm.

Just because Caesar IV was able to come out does not mean that Caesar V can also come out. With the current size of the Alpha Empire, any progress is a remarkable achievement.

To surpass the achievements of Caesar IV is pure fantasy. At least in terms of "martial arts", there is no possibility of transcendence.

"Bunji", just think about it.

If you want to carry out deep domestic reform in a joint-stock country, you must bear the risk of civil war.

Since ancient times, there has been no bloodless reform in the history of the human race. For a new system to be established, it must be watered with blood.

Reforms, full of compromises, were doomed to fail from the start.

Knowing that there were potholes in the road ahead, Hudson naturally did not jump into it. Only when you get out of the fire pit and are outside the chess game can you better see the situation.

As for Caesar IV's trust, as a principled "loyal servant", Hudson would certainly do his best to accomplish it.

After there is no entanglement of interests, it is more deterrent to continue to insist on royalism.

"Hudson, you mean there's a possibility that the royal family will kick you out?

Probably not!

With your influence in the Empire, who would dare to make such a hasty decision, wouldn't they be worried about the excitement below......"

Before Melissa could finish speaking, Hudson immediately interrupted: "A marriage alone is definitely not enough to make the royal family make up their minds, but someone will help me push it!"

Let's wait and see, in the next period of time, the conservative gang will create a pattern of honoring me in the court.

While trumpeting my achievements, I also released to the outside world the news that the two factions were merging and that I was going to be the co-leader of the two factions.

There are many people who say it, and it is not what everyone expects but also what everyone expects. If I had pushed for a few more small reforms, the stimulus to the royal family would have been even greater.

Maybe these tricks can't hide from those old foxes in the royal family. But fooling the Queen Mother is still not a big problem.

The Grand Duke of Madeleine should be able to help me in this regard.

The conservative camp wants me to retire, and there are people in the royal family who want me to leave, and I don't want to do it myself, can't I go? ”

The reason was so good that Melissa had nothing to say.

In fact, Hudson was lucky.

is different from the generals who have achieved great achievements in history, in addition to his merits, his personal strength is also the ceiling of the mainland, and he also has the title of the first magic pharmacist in the mainland.

After the superposition of multiple factors, when all parties treat him, they only dare to plan within the rules.

If he didn't have these abilities, it was estimated that the war had just ended, and it would be his turn to have an accident.

Either assassinated, cursed by a mysterious, or battered by a powerful enemy.

The Terran heroes in history did not end well. Only a very small number of people can enjoy their old age in peace.

Hudson didn't think what happened to these people was an accident.

There must be an untold story behind it, but the truth is hidden in the long river of history.

The master of high merit will not necessarily be unlucky, but if he gets in the way of the interest group, an accident will definitely occur.

……

The banquet was held as scheduled, and the news of the marriage of the two families pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a climax.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone sent their most sincere blessings on their faces.

Even the royals who attended the banquet wore smiling faces throughout the whole process, as if they were happy to see the marriage come to fruition.

Hudson was already surprised by the aristocratic hypocrisy on the field.

Everyone gives face like this, it is nothing more than that the two major families who married are strong enough to be provoked at all.

On this occasion, smashing the two yards is smashed, and it is easy to bump into the evil god when walking at night.

"Marshal Hudson, congratulations!"

Receiving the blessing of the Grand Duke of Madeleine, the smile on Hudson's face widened.

Obviously, this wave of backstabbing marriages has choked the royal family, and they have used the weapon of cause and effect.

As far as Hudson knew, Madeleine had not attended such a banquet since the name of the Lady of Doom spread throughout the imperial capital.

Whether it is a marriage or a big wedding, the royal family will not let her participate.

The main thing is to avoid suspicion, in case there is an accident in the middle, and things will not be clear.

Now the royal family is hopeful, and this marriage has an accident in it.

However, it is destined to be an extravagant hope, and Madeleine is not omnipotent.

Back then, she was able to break into a great name, mainly because of the free play of the law of origin, and now she has self-control, and once she makes a move, she will inevitably leave traces.

If she could be hacked in front of Hudson and not be discovered, she would not need to covet worldly power.

"Thank you, Your Highness!

By the way, how are the Queen Mother and Her Majesty lately, I haven't seen them for a while? ”

Hudson asked with concern.

Among the three major auxiliary ministers, he is the most incompetent.

If the palace is not invited, Hudson will never take the initiative to come to the door.

On the one hand, it is to avoid suspicion, and on the other hand, it is simply not wanting to go.

When Caesar IV was alive, he could not follow the rules of etiquette in the palace, but now that the emperor is dead, he has to act according to the rules of etiquette instead.

"People are terrible", Hudson is nothing more than vulgar.

It doesn't matter if it's rumored that he is domineering, if it's rumored that he bullies the orphans and widows of the royal family, it will have a big impact.

The names of powerful ministers and tyrannical and domineering are almost bundled, and the outside world has long been accustomed to it, and bullying the young master is a sign of disloyalty.

This kind of notoriety must not be touched.

He is also a person under a big gang, and when the boss can't maintain loyalty to the feudal monarch, how can he expect the people below to be loyal to him.

As a member of the system of rules, Hudson must also stick to the bottom line for his own interests, which is the legal basis for ruling the territory.

"It's all good, it's just that little Caesar often talks about you, hoping that the marshal can teach him the art of war.

There is also a little complaint that the Queen Mother complained that there were so many noble girls in the royal family, and she married Franz before she saw you.

Your sons are among the best in the empire, and there are so many people out there who are worried about it, so you have to give the noble lady of the clan a chance! ”

It's called a complaint, but it's actually touting, and by the way, it also reveals the intention of the royal family to marry.

Feeling it, Archduke Madeleine's emotional intelligence improved.

Compared with the previous goddess Gao Leng, now there is more of a human side. It should be that after digesting the memory, I gradually adapted to the current life.

Living in a complex place like the royal palace and learning language arts is a natural thing.

Hudson's decision was not surprising to the royal family.

Politics has never been a place where emotions can be used.

No matter how dissatisfied they are with the marriage between the two families, the royal family cannot push the two families to the opposite side because of anger.

Essentially, in this joint-stock country, everyone is both a partner and a competitor.

The following two powerful shareholders have joined forces, and their voice has increased, threatening the position of the majority shareholder.

What the major shareholders need to do is to divide and dismantle the alliance and co-opt more shareholders to their own chariots, rather than simply overturning the table.

"Haha......

Thanks to the Queen Mother's preference, there are many young talents in the empire, and a few of them are not worth mentioning.

Compared with the bustling imperial capital, they are actually more suitable for the prairie, and it is the most suitable place for them to grow up. ”

There was no promise to the marriage, nor did he explicitly refuse.

Instead, he vaguely hinted that he wanted to leave the imperial capital.

"Marshal, isn't the emperor good?"

Archduke Madeleine asked in surprise.

She really couldn't understand Hudson's thoughts.

No one else can touch the power of the event even if they are fighting for their lives, and Hudson is disdainful of it.

It is true that the powerhouse of the Holy Domain cultivates a lot, and that is because when he broke through the realm, he was already a handful of years.

After experiencing birth, old age, sickness and death, and watching the acquaintances around him continue to fall, he has no nostalgia for the world.

If you break through the Sanctuary at a young age, you will stay in the world for decades, taste the ups and downs of the world, and sharpen your mind.

These are all indispensable links on the road to the strong.

If you want to enter the third order of the Sacred Domain from the second order of the Holy Domain, in addition to the comprehension of the law, you also need a strong heart.

"The imperial city is very prosperous, and it can be called famous in the whole continent, but there are too many hidden things in it, too miscellaneous, and too chaotic.

Your Highness, although the empire is powerful, it is far from being as prosperous as you think.

If you want to solve the hidden problems, then the daily workload will become very large, but I am also a person who is afraid of trouble! ”

Hudson's hint made the silent heart of the Grand Duke of Madeleine suddenly become hot.

As the leader of the faction, Hudson was immediately leaderless as soon as he chose to retire.

If she could seize the opportunity to fill the position and become the new faction leader, the situation would be completely different.

With the support of the royal family, it may be able to divide the world with the conservative camp in the court.

The most unfortunate can also have their own voice in the court, so as not to become an empty minister.

"The mentality of the marshal is truly admirable.

It seems that in less than thirty years, you will be able to cross the third order of the Sacred Realm and have a thousand years of life.

Perhaps you will be the first myth of the Terrans to break boundaries and step into the realm of legends.

Whatever you want, I'll do it with you! ”

Grand Duke Madeleine said with envy.

Deep down, she had long been jealous.

It is also the reincarnation of the gods, and everyone is still struggling, and someone has already gone ashore.

Looking at the Archduke of Madeleine, who was full of anticipation, Hudson just smiled and said nothing.

If you want to get out of the quagmire, you do need the cooperation of the royal family, but the current Grand Duke of Madeleine is not qualified to negotiate a deal with him.

The chips in the hands of both sides are not equal.

Although the political factions he pulled up were mixed, many of them were planted by the conservative camp.

But on the outside, it still looks like a force that can confront the conservative camp head-on.

In the previous political game, Hudson deliberately arranged conservative spies against conservatives, and once took a big advantage.

In the eyes of the outside world, this is a symbol of combat effectiveness.

Mo said that he was the Grand Duke of Madeleine, and even within the conservative camp, he was very jealous of this new faction.

This is the stereotype, the cognitive bias that brings.

Hudson's upbringing began with leading a rabble.

The growth process in the early stage was completely to bring a rabble, and then to bring more rabble.

also commanded the rabble, but he was able to win battles all the time.

In the eyes of many, Hudson is extremely good at internal integration and can unite the team's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

The bureaucrats of the Alpha Empire basically came out of the army.

In particular, many of the middle and lower bureaucrats served under Hudson.

Even if you are out of the army, subconscious obedience still exists.

Hudson's decrees were swiftly executed.

It looked as if Hudson had completed the integration of factional forces, condensing the bureaucracy up and down into a single strand.

The truth is: without involving their own interests, everyone can complete the task efficiently.

When vital interests were involved, Hudson's orders were not so useful.

After all, officialdom is not the army, and the bureaucrats have a perfunctory approach.

However, at present, it is all routine work, and the interests of the bureaucracy are not touched, and this efficiency gives the outside world an illusion.

Paper tigers can also be scary, no one pierces the tiger's skin, and Hudson is naturally happy to pretend.

The more powerful a political faction seems, the higher it can sell for a price.

In the future, it will be helped, which is also caused by the inability of the receiver to convince the public.

Judging from the data on paper alone, the officials of the Kazakh department are all over the court, and there are more than 20 local governors waving flags and shouting.

Such a powerful political force is too valuable to the royal family.

Archduke Madeleine has limited chips in his hands, and he certainly can't afford to match it, and he lacks the prestige to integrate this force.

If you want to make a deal with Hudson, you must pull in the real power of the royal family to partner.

"The marshal has taken the liberty of giving you a satisfactory answer later!"

Archduke Madeleine said decisively.

There is no hope of monopolizing this political force, and that cannot allow this political force to fall into the conservative camp.

Otherwise, the court officials and local governors colluded, and the royal family would be a complete tragedy.

Although there is a conflict of interest between the old and new aristocrats, it is mainly a struggle for the right to speak in the court, and the conflict of interests in the local area is not strong.

After all, there was a clear territorial divide between the old and new nobles, and most of the nobles' territories did not border.

The main reason for the trouble is Caesar IV.

In order to promote domestic reform, he supported the emerging aristocracy to form a reformist.

The painstakingly planned reforms ended in failure, but they also succeeded in igniting the contradictions between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy.

Once the two factions were brought together, then Caesar IV's efforts were all in vain.
