Looking at Chen Daolin's stunned appearance, Du sighed softly. Chen Daolin's face gradually became stern, he looked directly into Du Weiwei's eyes, frowned, and said, "Why did you suddenly say that?"

"Because...... The emperor is not stable!"

Du Weiwei seemed to hesitate for a moment before he reluctantly said such a sentence.

Imperial capital, unstable?

This answer seemed like nothing, but Chen Daolin still heard a hint of unusual flavor in it.

He shook his head and said: "The imperial capital has indeed been unstable recently, the emperor has been assassinated, the pope has abdicated, and there will be a major earthquake in the sect...... I know all of that. But what does this have to do with you asking me to leave the imperial capital and go to the northwest?"

"......" Du looked at Chen Daolin slightly, took a deep breath, her eyes showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and frowned: "Darling Chen, do you really not understand or are you pretending to be stupid with me? I don't believe that a smart person like you will not be able to smell the recent changes in the wind in the imperial capital!"

Chen Daolin smiled.

He did perceive something.

Since the emperor was assassinated, he saved Lan Lan and was kidnapped by Montoya...... After this series of events, he had already vaguely guessed something: the assassins of the emperor were not only the wave of the church!

The imperial capital is turbulent, and he is very close to the emperor and is appreciated by the emperor, which is not enough. But he destroyed an assassination of the emperor, and then he was prosperous in the imperial capital...... Chen Daolin faintly felt the undercurrent surging in this imperial capital.

And the emperor Jianyì himself "don't go out if you have nothing to do", this is not just because Chen Daolin let Montoya go and ordered him to think about it behind closed doors, but also a layer of warning and protection for him.

Even the emperor told him to stay away, which shows that this situation is by no means as simple as it can be seen now!

But at this moment, even Du Weiwei tried to persuade himself to leave - could it be that the situation in the imperial capital was already so dangerous?

Chen Daolin thought about it and looked at Du Weiwei suspiciously: "What do you mean...... There is a turmoil in the imperial capital?"

"I didn't say anything. Du shook his head slightly. But then she sighed: "Darling, I regard you as a friend, and I will never harm you, if you believe me, listen to my advice and leave the imperial capital for the time being." ”

"Ha! When you say this, it seems that this imperial capital has suddenly become a tiger's den in Longtan. Chen Daolin smiled, he suddenly grimaced, and said with a smile: "Hey." Du Weiwei, you don't want to coax me away because I openly challenged Anthony you picked up, right?"

"Phew, a guy who doesn't know the hearts of good people. Du took a sip and glanced at Chen Daolin: "Anthony's kind of idiot, if I want, I can hold another hundred at any time!" The Tulip Workshop is only a small part of the Tulip Family's business, and the interests of the Tulip Workshop do not represent the family's attitude. That kid, it's your business if you're willing to toss, and I'm not going to interfere with you for this little thing. ”

"Oh, then if I join forces with Angulo and ruin your tulip workshop business in the market, don't you care?"

"Are you underestimating me?" Du Wei glanced at Chen Daolin, and said disdainfully: "My tulip family is not so stingy! If you want to dominate the world, is there still room for the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce of Angulo Fatman? A huge force group, if there is no external threat, will lose its sense of vigilance and urgency. So if you have the ability to make that Angulo guy a formidable opponent of my tulip family, I'll be happy. In recent years, there has been a growing atmosphere of slackness among the family. I'd love to see you turn into a whip and whip these people in the back. Let them sober up, realize that there is still a threat from competitors, and not stop enterprising. ”

Speaking of this, Du Wei smiled proudly: "Ancestor Du Wei once said: The country will perish forever without external troubles! A country is still like this, let alone a family power?"

“......”

Chen Daolin rolled his eyes, and almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on Du Weiwei's face!

What did your ancestor Du Wei say?

I don't want to face it!!

This is clearly what Mencius said!!

Du Wei, Du Wei, if you want a face, you want a face, you want a face!!

The original sentence is clearly "invincible foreign patients will die forever"!

Chen Daolin forcibly suppressed the urge to complain, and smiled reluctantly: "So, do you mind if I beat your tulip workshop all over the ground to find teeth?"

"If you really have the ability, I have to thank you. Fiona's woman is getting more and more faint now, and it would be nice if someone gave her a slap in the face and made her sober up. ”

"You...... Are you really not afraid that the Tulip Workshop will be beaten by me?"

Du smiled proudly, waved his hand, and wrote lightly: "Don't be afraid, my family has a big business and can afford to lose." ”

“............”

Chen Daolin had nothing to say.

The family is big, and you can afford to lose!

That's how arrogant and cool it is, it's a bunker.

But after thinking about it, people do have the confidence to say this!

Think about it, Du Wei has hidden so much wealth just in the underground secret passage of the study of the Rollin family's castle! Then the Tulip family himself, God knows how much amazing wealth he has amassed!

"Okay, let's stop joking with you. Would you like to go to the northwest with me? Du sighed slightly, frowned, and said: "If you don't want to join the Tulip family, you can just go to the northwest to live for a few days, and your business with Anguluo can wait for the situation to stabilize in the future, and you can go back to the imperial capital to do it again." As for the Sword of the Force you got it, it's okay to get it a year and a half later. ”

Du Weiwei persuaded him three times and twice, and Chen Daolin finally became serious.

He looked at Du Weiwei and said in a low voice: "The situation is ...... It's already so severe?"

"Not necessarily, it's just ...... This time, even I can't see through it. Du shook his head slightly: "I always have some bad premonitions." ”

"But isn't the church already subdued?"

Du glanced at Chen Daolin with a slight dissatisfaction: "Do you always like to pretend to be stupid with me like this? Be careful of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger too much, you really become a pig!"

After a pause, looking at Chen Daolin's sneering expression, Du Weiwei said, "I don't believe you didn't see it." The forces that assassinated His Majesty were not limited to those stupid people. ”

“...... All right. Chen Daolin nodded helplessly, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know where the other people who assassinated the emperor came from?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Daolin regretted it and almost slapped himself in the face!

Curiosity kills people! What are you doing with such a mouth!

This kind of major event, ordinary people are involved in a careless word, and the end of the family is ruined! It's too late to hide by yourself, so what's the point to ask?

Du looked at Chen Daolin with a slight smile: "Oh?

"No, I don't want to know!, don't tell me!" Chen Daolin quickly changed his words.

"It's late! Now I'm holding back so badly, I just want to say, you can't listen to it!" Du raised his eyebrows slightly.

“............ Are you the Duke of Tulip or the Duke of the Pit Man!" Chen Daolin screamed.

Du Wei smiled and looked at Chen Daolin. It seems that the more this guy eats in front of her, the happier she becomes. Although she also knows that this guy is very slippery, this appearance is mostly pretending to coax herself.

"Okay, don't look like you're cowardly and scared of death. I know you're very bold!" Du snorted slightly: "If you were cowardly, you wouldn't dare to openly let go of the Qin prisoner who assassinated His Majesty, Montoya and Lan Lan have been released for you, and you dare to go to the palace afterwards to ask for guilt, just because you expected that the emperor would not kill him, right?"

“...... Of course, I expected that the emperor would not kill me, so I went back! I've already gone away, what are you going to do when you run back?" Chen Daolin shrank his head: "I'm living a good life, and I don't want to die so early." I still have beautiful women who have not married, and I have not lived in a mansion. The high-ranking officials didn't do it, they didn't ask for the monthly pass, and they didn't ......get the manuscript fee." (Huh? Something strange seems to be mixed in?)

Du Wei glared at Chen Daolin helplessly: "That's why I said that you are the most scoundrel in the world, but you are bold but afraid of death." is obviously full of strange skills, but he likes to play the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. It's obscene, people hate to stretch out their feet and kick you, but when you go crazy, you can poke a hole in the sky!"

"Hey, don't talk too much! When did I poke the sky out of the hole?"

"The eldest lady who abducted the Liszt family eloped. Didn't you do it?"

“............”

The two fought a few more words, Du Weiwei felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, the mood that had been suppressed since returning to the imperial capital this time was also a lot more relaxed, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't quarrel with you." I only tell you that the church is unlucky this time, who they don't cooperate with well, but they just found a group of guys who eat people and don't spit out bones. ”

"Is there anyone in this world who eats people more than the gods and doesn't spit out bones?" Chen Daolin smiled.

"Anyway, this thing is actually not a secret, and you don't have to worry about being killed if you know it. Du Wei smiled, and then she restrained her smile, lowered her voice, and said slowly: "Do you know the name 'Augustine'?"

Chen Daolin was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Even if I'm not very smart, I'm not deaf yet." ”

What are you kidding, who in the Roland Empire does not know the name "Augustine"?

To be precise, this is not a name, but a surname - the royal family of the Roland Empire!

Just like the Song emperor's surname is Zhao, the Ming emperor's surname is Zhu, and the Manchu Tartar's surname is Aixing Jueluo, uh...... The fat dynasty of the stick is surnamed Jin, Jin Da Fat, Jin 2 Fat, Jin 3 Fat......

The royal family of the Roland Empire is surnamed Augustine.

"What's wrong with this last name?"

Du smiled bitterly, and then sighed: "Speaking of this matter, the root of the bane is still planted from my ancestor Du Wei's generation. ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Chen Daolin: "You should have read the "General History of the Mainland", but do you remember one of the "Biography of the Regents"?"

"Read. Chen Daolin nodded: "It is the one who is not the emperor, who has been in power all his life but has never been crowned as the emperor, but after his death, he is still considered to be the emperor although he has no name as an emperor, so he is still included in the emperor's biography, the only monarch who has not been called an emperor." ”

"Yes. Du nodded slightly: "This regent is an outstanding person of the same era as my ancestor Du Wei. No...... One could even say. Even my ancestor Du Wei once said that this regent is the only amazing and brilliant person I have ever seen in my life, and my ancestor also said that if there is any real rival or friend in his life that he admires or even fears, it is this regent. ”

Chen Daolin thought for a while and didn't speak.

He didn't pay much attention to reading the general history of the mainland, but just read some cursory in order to understand the world.

He vaguely remembered the approximate life of this regent. It seems that he came to power in a coup d'état, and in the process of the coup, he killed his brother by clever means, and then applied his father to the emperor and seized the power of the empire in the name of the regent.

Although the means are somewhat ...... But because it is said that his father was a well-known faint king, and after he ascended the throne, the empire finally appeared under his rule. Therefore, the people's reputation for him is very good.

And most importantly......

The Tulip family, which is now the most famous and powerful family in the empire, was sealed by this regent!

In other words, Comrade Du Wei, who crossed his predecessors, made a fortune under the hands of this regent......

When the regent was on the throne, Du Wei was just a tulip duke, although he was popular, he was still just a "famous minister".

And the two worked intimately. Within a few years, the empire was put under wraps and the country became more and more prosperous, laying a solid foundation for the later wars with foreign races.

Moreover, even the first war with the alien race was fought during the reign of this regent. And victorious.

However, what happened after that......

This generation of heroes was unlucky, and died young. He was never crowned emperor in his life, but ruled as a regent.

Later his son succeeded to the throne. As a result, he was stabbed to death after only three years.

And then, with the full support of Duke Du Wei of Tulip. Crowned Karina, the daughter of the regent, as empress.

Later, Du Wei married the empress as his wife......

......

"Supporting the succession of Empress Karina was a last resort. Du sighed slightly and said in a low voice: "The regent only left a son and a daughter, and his son died after three years on the throne. And when the throne was vacant, the situation was complicated.

Although there were other collateral bloodlines in the royal family, there were people of the right age who were more suitable than Karina, who was not yet ten years old at the time.

However, what you should know is that the regent came to power by a coup d'état! The so-called coup d'état naturally suppressed other bloodline forces of the imperial family. And when it is the important ministers of the empire, it is the faction left by the regent who is in power.

Therefore, if someone from other imperial bloodlines was appointed as emperor, firstly, he was worried that the important ministers of the empire at that time would be uneasy, and secondly, he was also worried that the emperor would settle the old accounts of the coup d'état when he became an adult.

Therefore, in order to appease the people's hearts and stabilize the empire, it is only most suitable for the descendants of the regent to inherit the throne.

Therefore, the patriarch Du Wei strongly advocated that the ten-year-old Princess Karina succeed to the throne as empress, and this decision was unanimously agreed by most of the important ministers of the empire at that time - all those who opposed it were purged.

Later, when Empress Karina came of age, my ancestor Du Wei took the Empress as his wife after all considerations. ”

"Hey! This is too shameless to say!" Chen Daolin couldn't help but complain: "Marrying an empress, and it is raised from a young girl! This kind of thing is so long ago that others will be so snickering that they can't even sleep! You still say that it seems that the ancestor of your family is very disadvantaged and reluctant! and 'consider all aspects'......"

Du blushed slightly and said with a wry smile: "Actually...... First, because Empress Karina was originally a princess, she studied under my ancestors, and she has long been deeply in love with her ancestors, and she refuses to marry someone else. Second, in the years before the empress came of age, my ancestors held the power of the empire, and their power was almost above that of the emperor. And many nobles and important ministers of the empire were very worried that my grandfather would further usurp the throne and establish himself as emperor and change the dynasty. Therefore, in order to take care of all aspects of love, my ancestor married the empress, which is the best situation. ”

"And then, your ancestor and the empress gave birth to offspring, and they ascended to the throne on behalf of the common interests of both families. It is also equivalent to ...... The Tulip family and the royal family are inextricably linked, right?" said Chen Daolin.

"Yes. Du nodded slightly: "But ...... This seems to be a happy situation, but there are always people who are dissatisfied!"

Chen Daolin's eyes moved: "You mean...... Other side lines of the royal family?"

"Yes. Du Weiwei nodded again: "Those ...... The guy who is known as the 'real Augustine'. ”

......

The real Augustine.

This is a very strange statement.

But the first to appear this kind of statement was actually in the field of historiography.

Because Karina was a female emperor. So she married Du Wei, had a child, and became the crown prince.

And although in order to inherit the throne, the son born to the empress cannot follow the surname Du Wei, nor can he enter the family tree of the Tulip family. Only with the empress surname "Augustine"!

However, after all, such a thing as taking the mother's surname is legal in legal theory. But in terms of inheritance priority, it is less convincing.

For many true descendants of the Augustinian family, they will think: The Augustinian family still has a male Ding Zài! Why pass the throne to a foreign surname?!

Yes!

Since the day the empress and Du Wei's son were made crown prince. On the side of the Augustine lineage of the royal family, some people began to call the crown prince behind his back.

In the eyes of these people, the descendants of Du Wei and Empress Karina cannot be regarded as real "Augustine" at all! It should be counted as a descendant of the Tulip family.

Some of these radical and radical elements even privately claim that this is the Tulip family's use of this tactic. Stealing the throne that belonged to the House of Augustine!

This kind of statement is quite marketable even in the field of historiography.

Judging from the pure bloodline ethics, there is indeed some truth to this statement.

In the case of the Augustinian family and the descendants of the orthodox males, it is indeed a kind of transgression to inherit the throne with a descendant who has changed his surname.

However, considering the military and political situation of the empire at that time, there was no choice for this kind of thing. Only a descendant of both the Tulip family and the royal family can inherit the throne in order to be recognized by the military and political dignitaries of the empire at that time.

As for the old school of the royal family, no one cares about it.

But for these true descendants of the Augustinians. But they have a grudge against them ever since.

Because they believe that Du Wei and the empress's descendants have taken away the throne that should have belonged to them.

They believe that the "Augustinian dynasty" of the Roland Empire. In fact, it has existed in name only!

Because the successive generations of emperors who succeeded to the throne were all foreign surnames from the bloodline of the Tulip family!

There are even some radicals who claim that the emperor on stage is a "usurper" behind their backs.

There are not a few such people.

......

"Actually, the ancestors of the past. He doesn't covet the throne at all! If he could, he didn't even intend to let himself and the empress's descendants inherit the throne! The ancestor had every chance to set himself up as emperor by himself! With the prestige of the ancestor in the empire at that time, the army and the people all admired him to the extreme! As long as he was willing to be the emperor, as long as he stretched out his fingers, he could do it. Du sneered slightly: "But the ancestor has no intention of the throne, he even said that being an emperor is the hardest, most dangerous and most boring profession in the world." Think about it, even he himself didn't want to be the emperor, how could he want his son to be? It's just that he was forced to have no choice at that time. If someone from the side blood is chosen to come to power, it will cause instability within the empire. ”

"I understand that. Chen Daolin nodded.

"And once the descendants of the ancestors and empresses are made emperors, this step will never be recovered. The position of the emperor, after ascending to the throne, can no longer come down. Even if you are willing to abdicate to another family, and if another emperor takes the throne, the first thing you will do is to purge the old emperor's forces! And Du Wei's descendants have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been sitting on the throne to this day. ”

Speaking of this, Du Wei smiled bitterly: "And just a hundred years ago, the war with the orcs and the alien race won a decisive victory, and the situation of the empire returned from war to the era of peaceful construction. The entire empire is thriving, and the national policy of the empire has also transitioned from war to a long-term confrontation with foreign races. In the following generations, peaceful development was the primary national policy of the empire. At this time, as the heroes of the previous era gradually passed away, the later royal family, in order to buy people's hearts, but also to calm the dissatisfaction within the royal family. What's more, the emperor has secured the throne, and the situation has changed. The royal family cannot rely on only one family to maintain its rule forever, and the royal family must unite all the royal families. At this time, the collateral of Augustine's line was also within the emperor's goal of winning over unity.

In order to show the emperor's royal bearing, but also to show that the royal family is not mean and unkind, and in order to calm down some bad folk rumors, the later emperors treated these Augustinian lineages very favorably.

Originally, I was expecting to resolve the dissatisfaction and resentment in the hearts of these people with all kinds of honors, and gradually bring them back together and unite them, stand closely by the side of the royal family, and merge into a united royal family.

So, in several generations of emperors, they were committed to this strategy.

As a result, many of the Augustinian side families that had retired in the Dewey era re-emerged from the stage, and under a series of preferential policies, some were promoted to knighthoods, and some were given official positions and authority.

In general, the empire gave them as many benefits as possible within certain limits.

This strategy cannot be said to be a complete failure. Because some people have indeed been divided and drawn to the side of the royal family.

But there is still a group of people, who now seem to be yang and yin, taking advantage of this opportunity to vigorously expand their strength, in fact, their secret dissatisfaction with the royal family and their coveting of the throne have not disappeared.

It's just that they have been forbearance and acting.

I have to say that in many cases, they performed quite well and endured very successfully.

As these Augustinian lineages became more and more submissive, generations of emperors became less wary of them.

And most importantly...... At this time, there was also a conflict between the royal family and our tulip family.

You should understand that although they share a common bloodline, no emperor can tolerate the existence of a behemoth like the Tulip family in his empire, and divide the authority that belongs to the emperor.

Therefore, even in order to consolidate the imperial power, the emperor will unconsciously gradually suppress the Tulip family, and then strengthen the power of his own imperial family.

At this time, many of Augustine's side guys were sufficiently developed in this era, so that some climates gradually formed.

They have been waiting, they have been patient, they have been waiting for their opportunity.

Perhaps, if there is no good opportunity, maybe in a few decades, another generation or two, then these so-called "real Augustine" side royal families will really be completely assimilated and disappear, and the long river of time will slowly wear out their ambitions, dissatisfactions and resentments.

But just in this generation, something went wrong!

A huge opportunity was in front of them!

This opportunity made them see hope and opportunity again! They suddenly found that the distance between them and the Ninety-Five Supreme Throne was not as far as they imagined!"

Du Weiwei said this and glanced at Chen Daolin.

Chen Daolin sighed and nodded: "What you are talking about is that the current emperor is His Majesty...... No After?" (To be continued)
