Chapter 683: There is no faction in O, and there are all kinds of strange things
As the barrage said, the rebellious Galia did not have to compete with Arthas for the crown prince.
She just wanted to prove to Terenus that she was not an incompetent tool that could only be used to marry and win allies, and that she could also contribute to the growth of the kingdom of Lordaeron.
In the eyes of an adult like Sarjan, this kind of gambling on national affairs is somewhat child's play, but in the end, it is Tyrenus himself.
Normally, when the king is busy with government affairs, the responsibility of teaching his children the three views falls on the queen, the head of the harem.
However, the queen of Terenus died of illness not long after giving birth to Arthas, and Terenus, who devoted himself to government affairs, had no intention of continuing the strings, and only wanted to fulfill the long-cherished wish of unification that had been passed down from generation to generation by the Minethil family.
The fall of Alsace in the original history is largely to blame for the failure of Tyrenus's homeschooling.
It stands to reason that Arthas has two upright and kind mentors, Uther and Muradin, and should not be easily seduced and degraded by the premeditated Naozu.
But that's exactly what happened.
Sarjan boldly speculated that most of Terenus's teachings to Arthas were on paper, and he did not actually expose him to the dark side of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and always reported good news but not bad news, resulting in Arthas's mental intolerance when he encountered great changes.
There are loopholes in the cultivation of Crown Prince Arthas, let alone Galia, a marriage tool.
From the standpoint of Sarren, under the condition that Lordaeron will not easily lose the country, the more chaotic the inside, the better.
Under the leadership of Sarean, Baron Rivendell of Stratholme has become alienated from the center of Lordaeron due to political disagreements, and has become a border country of China.
However, with Lordaeron's national power, it was not enough to convince Stratholme to remain neutral in the conflict between the two sides, and Salian intended to add another fire to the center of Lordaeron, so that they would no longer care about external strife.
Regardless of the country, the aristocracy is very good at speculation, and the wind blows on both sides.
Terenus was furious and put the crown prince Arthas under house arrest and promoted Garia, which invisibly made the nobles have superfluous associations.
They began to secretly speculate whether Arthas, who was messing around during the prison period, had lost the trust of Terenus, and that the crown prince might fall to the more mature and stable Princess Garia.
As soon as Terenus woke up, he was confronted by the Alterac Rebellion.
The old king, who was not very energetic, could not operate on multiple fronts as he did when he was in good health, so he could only focus most of his attention on the battlefield ahead, and did not have the extra energy to pay attention to the subtle changes in the attitudes of the nobles.
Some of the nobles, seeing that Terenus did not respond to their temptation, thought that Arthas had really lost his position, and immediately turned their bets on Princess Galia.
Before entering the palace to meet Galia in person, Sareen had been lurking in the royal city of Lordaeron to gather information.
Thanks to Druyin's animal transformation, the members of the Lordaeron intelligence department in the city have never been able to discover that the enemy who has been stirring up trouble in the royal city during the recent period has actually swaggered back and forth under their noses.
According to the information gathered by Sarean during this time, after Terenus recovered from a serious illness and Arthas was placed under house arrest, the nobles of Lordaeron were roughly divided into three factions.
One faction is the princess faction that supports Galia, as mentioned before, hoping to improve the status of their respective families from the dragon's power by sending charcoal in the snow and betting in advance.
The second faction is the princely faction, who firmly believe that Arthas will not be easily deposed, and they are in close proximity with the princess faction, and each wants to completely overwhelm the other.
The third faction was a neutral faction headed by high-ranking aristocratic officials such as Prime Minister Lordaeron.
These powerful officials did not intend to participate in the struggle for the throne of the royal family of Minethir, they were loyal to Lordaeron and their own family, and they had a clear attitude of not helping each other.
Whoever ascends to the throne will not be affected too much, will not be punished, and will not be rewarded.
With their family status, there is really no need to take risks like those petty nobles who are eager to ascend to the throne.
The barrage once said that there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things, and the country is actually the same.
There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people.
There cannot be only one voice within a country, and it is normal for factionalism to exist.
As the head of a country, what the king needs to do is to balance the conflicting interests of many parties, keep the competition of various interest groups as healthy as possible, and restrain those who cross the line of competition with strict laws.
Healthy competition is not only harmless to the country, but will effectively form an involution trend and stimulate the enthusiasm of the domestic people.
Of course, it is not easy to control this degree, and Kael'thas is still walking on thin ice after a short time on the throne.
Terenus was able to grasp this balance in the early years, but as he grew older, the once virtuous King Lordaeron became more and more stubborn and unruly, and his physical condition deteriorated, and his control over the major factions in the country plummeted.
Princess Garia's foundation is too thin, and without the help of external forces, once Terenus comes to her senses and realizes that something is wrong, she can easily suppress her rebellion.
The end of the Battle of Alterac was an opportunity for Salain to accumulate his political achievements.
As long as the two sides can be brought about peace talks, the credit will really go to the head of the family, winning the admiration of a large number of nobles and ministers in the country, in stark contrast to the unconventional nonsense of Alsace.
At that point, it won't be so easy for Tyrenus to get hold of Garia.
Even if Jialia's original intention was not to snatch her brother's crown princeship, but just to prove her ability, the nobles below with their own intentions would push her all the way forward, until finally the yellow robe was added, and the battle for Lordaeron's throne would enter a white-hot stage.
As the barrage half-jokingly accused, Saljan also felt that he was using the girl's rebellious heart to make a big fuss.
However, there is no room for soft-heartedness in national affairs, and Sarean is a native of Quel'Salas, so he should stand in Quel'Salas's position and make suggestions for the benefit of his country.
As for other countries, especially hostile countries like Lordaeron...... Sareen was not so loving, and he was not destined to be a saint to the detriment of himself.
Moreover, Salian had carefully considered the possibility of the subsequent development of the battle for the Lordaeron throne.
With the covert support of Quel'Thalas, there is a good chance that Galia will be able to squeeze out the far immature Arthas to the throne.
Once Galia ascends the throne and becomes the first queen in the history of the kingdom of Lordaeron, there is a good chance that she will be able to ease the tension with Quel'Salas with this early investment.
This is a good thing for both countries, which can put aside external contradictions and concentrate on dealing with internal problems.
From this point of view, it is not entirely out of the intention of taking advantage of the importance of raising Jialia, but it can also be regarded as a win-win future investment.
Thinking about it like this, Sarean's heart was much better.
【…… You're really talented, can that be justified? 】
……
Ever since Saljan took up residence in Garia's palace in the form of a little white cat, he would find time to tell Galea about the situation in the world outside of the kingdom of Lordaeron.
Sarren has traveled all over Azeroth in the past few years, and his knowledge of the various places in Azeroth is his forte.
In the past, Jialia's understanding of the outside world was very weak, and with the intelligence resources in her hands, she could only obtain information related to Lordaeron at best, and there were many gaps.
Sarjan first explained to her the beginning and end of the Battle of Alterac in simple terms, as well as the forces and interests involved behind this war.
Knowing that the fuse of the war had been planted six years ago, and that it was the battle for the succession of Alterac, which she was also familiar with, she could only shake her head and smile bitterly.
She thought of the Lord Davar Presto, whom Terenus had belonged.
Just a little bit, she'll marry the Alterac nobleman who came out of nowhere.
"Davar Presto? Ha! ”
Sarren's cat had a sarcastic look on his face, "Lordaeron hasn't received any information from the Stormwind Kingdom yet?" Or maybe you just don't know about it? ”
"The so-called Presto family is nothing more than a fictitious identity created by the traitor Black Dragon, led by Deathwing."
"Not long ago, I talked to King Silverton in the Alterac Snow Mountain, and the kingdom of Alterac has never had a nobleman with the surname Presto since ancient times."
"What?!"
Galia's eyes widened, and she asked Sarren a little dazedly, "Is this true?" Black Dragon? My father and I have never heard of this. ”
"Not long ago, he was bemoaning Lord Presto for leaving the Stormwind Kingdom, otherwise the Alterac Turmoil might not have happened at all."
