Chapter 432 [Secret!]

Span's feeling was weird.

Maybe it's my own delusion.

When the bad news in the northwest came, his father, the new prime minister, was always there, with a gloomy face.

However, after the canonization of the "Duke of Rhine", my father, who returned to the mansion after attending the ceremony, seemed to have a much better face. It seems that the mood is also a little happier.

Originally, these days, since my father became the prime minister, every night when I returned to the mansion, I would lock myself in the study for a long time, and I would not eat dinner until midnight.

If this goes on for so long, Spann is really worried that the old man's body will not be able to carry it.

But today, after returning from the palace, when my father stepped out of the carriage, there was a hint of relief on his face...... Smile?

As was customary, Spann accompanied his father into the study, and was about to turn to leave, when suddenly his father's voice came from behind him:

"If you're hungry, let the kitchen bring dinner to the study. ”

Spann turned to look at his father in surprise.

Oviedo pursed his lips and smiled, looking at his son, before continuing to smile: "Let them send two portions over, and you can eat with me here." ”

“...... Be. ”

Spann went out and gave orders to his servant, and then went back to his study.

There was originally a small table in the study, which was used for drinking tea during the weekday break.

At this moment, the father and son sat facing each other around the table.

Oviedo looked at his son, who looked a little uncomfortable, and smiled lightly: "Has the military department reported for duty?"

"Hmm. ”

"How does it feel?"

Spann stopped talking, and Oviedo smiled: "Don't worry, our father and son are talking behind closed doors, and there is nothing bad to talk about." ”

Span sighed: "The military department has given me a post, and I will be transferred from a civilian official to a military position, but I am afraid that I will not be given any real position for the time being, and it will be good if I don't make a false title and hang me high as a decoration." ”

Oviedo's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop. Eyes flashed: "What about your own thoughts, where do you want to go?"

Span smiled wryly, "I...... Actually, I don't know. Father, I just want to do something practical. ”

"Facts?"

Oviedo smiled faintly, his tone a little unpredictable: "There is nothing practical to do in the Imperial army now. The northern border is the border, and it seems unlikely that war will break out between us and the orcs at the moment. As for the south side...... I had to run to the southern swamps and wait for the rust to take place. The only thing left is the navy...... The trade of the South Sea Line is still very busy, and the navy has a lot of escort missions, so if you join the navy, you may have something to do. ”

Span sneered: "Driving the Imperial warship and going to the South Seas to show off the power of those indigenous sampans? ”

Oviedo stared silently at his son, after a moment. The old man smiled slightly: "Then what do you want to do?"

Spann thought for a moment and was about to say something, but Oviedo had already waved his hand: "Actually, I understand...... From childhood to adulthood, what you yearn for the most in your heart is the Air Jockey Corps. ”

Span's face flushed.

"It's a pity that you don't have a talent for magic, and you don't even reach the level of a magic apprentice. Oviedo looked at his son with some regret: "I know that you have been fascinated by those combat modes flying in the sky since you were a child. You have been studying the documents of air warfare written by the first Duke Tulip himself, since you were a child, and I asked you to study at the Imperial Military Academy for two years. Everyone knows you're an 'air combat fan'. I remember that the teachers in the military academy commented that if you look purely at strategic theory, you do have some talent. It's a pity ......"

"It's a pity that I can't ride a broomstick to fight on the front line. Span's face was a little gloomy: "I can only hold one civilian position at most." In the rear as an operational staff officer. ”

"Actually, your martial arts skills are good. Orviedo looked at his son: "Why...... Why don't you think differently? maybe...... Cavalry unit ......"

Span took a deep breath, looked at his father sternly, and said in an almost pious tone: "Father! The first Duke Tulip had written a book a hundred years ago and clearly said: The era of cavalry will soon come to an end! In the future, air warfare will become an important factor in determining wars! Future wars will no longer be plane wars. The advantage of cavalry is that it is far superior to the infantry's mobility, and it is good at running, detouring, and other combat modes...... But once the skill level of air combat is broken. The power of air strikes will be far superior to that of cavalry tenfold or even hundredfold! By that time......"

Seeing that his son was about to continue talking, Oviedo was not angry, and looked at his son with a fatherly gaze - such a scene, such a conversation, father and son do not know how many times over the years, his son's fascination with air warfare, as a father is naturally the most familiar.

"Alright, alright. Seeing that his son was going on to talk at length, Oviedo immediately stopped his son's remarks about the superiority of air warfare in him, and said with a faint smile: "I have an idea. ”

"Huh?"

Oviedo's expression became stern: "You...... Let's go to the northwest!"

“............”

......

As if stunned by his father's words, Span was silent for a long time before exclaiming, "Northwest, father, you mean, I'm going, going...... Thor's Whip?"

"Thor's Whip, of course. Orvieto nodded slowly: "Otherwise, where else could it be?" I can't stuff you into the Tulip family's private army. ”

"Then I don't object to it......" Spann muttered a few words in a low voice, but seeing that his father's expression was stern, he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "You...... Why did you suddenly change your mind? If you go to the northwest at this time, wouldn't it ...... Haven't you always refused to let me out? Now if you go to the northwest, you are not afraid that I will be involved in a civil war?"

Oviedo snorted: "If it is Aker who is sent to the northwest to preside over the overall situation this time, of course I will not let you go! I will also transfer you to another place, the farther away the better! But now...... The situation is different after all. His Majesty has already ordered that it is Paning who will go to the northwest to preside over the overall situation. The new Duke of the Rhine, I don't think he's the same as Aker. If he goes to the northwest, I am much less worried. Perhaps, this civil war will not be fought. ”

"Huh?"

looked at his son's blank eyes. Oviedo sighed - but after thinking about it, after all, he was his own son, and if he didn't train him, who else could he expect to train him?

Thinking of this, Orvieto had to cheer up and look at his son: "Span ...... Speaking of the civil war, who do you think wants to fight the civil war the most now?"

"Who wants to fight a civil war the most?" Spann pursed his lips with some disdain in his tone, "Of course it's the usurper......"

"Shut up!!"

Oviedo is suddenly on fire!

The old man slapped the table hard and glared. He stared at his son angrily and shouted: "If you say such ridiculous things again in the future, then you will resign all your official positions for me as soon as possible, and honestly go home to study behind closed doors! Or go back to your hometown and become a rich man in the countryside with peace of mind! Otherwise, you will kill you sooner or later!"

Looking at his son's puzzled eyes, Orvieto gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "No matter what occasion in the future! Even at home, when you and I are alone...... What kind of 'usurper' such words, never mention half a word again!"

"But...... Shiloh, he was ......"

"Shut up! stupid thing!"

Oviedo suddenly became angry. He looked at his son with some disappointment, and said coldly: "Okay! I'll tell you something about it today! Do you think Shiloh is a usurper, and he is not worthy of being the emperor?"

"......" Span's eyes widened and he glared at his father, though he didn't speak. But the unconvinced expression was obviously a tacit acquiescence to his father's problem.

"But you remember me! Listen carefully! Whether you want it or whether you hate it! The current Emperor is His Majesty Xiluo! He is already the Emperor! He has been crowned for nine months! Whether it is the Temple of Light. The Magic Guild, the Academy of Magic, and even the Tulip Family. They have all recognized his throne! That is to say, it is already a fait accompli! It will not change again!"

Speaking of this, Oviedo pointed to his son: "And you...... What are you?! You're just my son! You're just a petty official! What qualifications do you have to despise or even ignore this fact?! Span! I sue you! No matter what you think! Your majesty is the emperor! If you have the ability...... You can rebel, you can rebel! and overthrow him!

Since you don't have the ability, then you, as a Rolander, have to accept this fact!

Either you will completely give up your career and future and become a hermit at home! If you still want to continue to be an official in this empire, put away your yin and yang weird face for me! See this fact clearly: he is the emperor! He is your emperor!!

If you keep saying that he is some kind of usurper......

With such an attitude, sooner or later you will get into a catastrophe! Sooner or later, it will bring disaster to our entire family!!

You must remember that you are not an ordinary petty official in a remote place! You are a nobleman! You are a nobleman in the imperial capital! You are in the imperial capital! You are my son! As the son of the prime minister, you will be stared at by countless people! Your words and deeds will be watched by people!

If you continue to dare to hold this kind of yin and yang attitude...... That's self-defeating!

Fool, do you understand!"

Span's body was shocked, his face turned pale, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, took two deep breaths, and then whispered, "I...... Understood, Father!"

He solemnly swore to his father: "I will definitely remember your words and never make such a mistake again!"

“...... I hope you keep that in mind. Orviedo looked at his son.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the old servant of the house, and the servant brought in the dinner and placed it on the table.

Father and son had dinner face to face, and during the meal, Orviedo seemed to lose interest in talking to his son, and he ate his own dinner without saying a word.

Span's heart couldn't be calm after all.

Seeing his father finish eating and wiping his mouth, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and said in a low voice: "Father, what you just said before ......"

Orviedo looked up at his son, "Huh?"

"You asked me before, who is the one who wants to fight the civil war......"

"You think it's His Majesty the Emperor?" Orvieto sneered.

"Isn't he who he is?" Spann sighed: "He made the means to actively weaken the Tulip family, and colluded with the Northwest Independent Division to embezzle the Tulip family's private army, which he also did." He has been taking the initiative to provoke the Tulip family, so ......"

"Provocation...... It doesn't mean that you want to fight a civil war. ”

Orviedo shook his head slowly. Looking at his son, he sighed: "Remember, son! In your long career in the future, you must keep in mind what I said today: Sometimes, some seemingly drastic means may not necessarily be intended to provoke war, or may just be bluffing...... I am afraid that it will take more than ten years to see through the truth and fiction. ”

"Bluff?" Span smacked his lips.

"Heloh is a madman, but he's not a fool! He's not an idiot! used a lot of back-up hands to force the former emperor to death step by step, and the person who successfully ascended the throne was ...... Even if you look down on him, even if you don't like him, you have to admit it. ”

Spann nodded, he still understood that.

"The series of actions before Xiluo Xià seemed to be intense, and it seemed that the tulip family had raised a knife, and it seemed to be provocative everywhere. Threatening the tulip family at every turn...... But in fact, judging from his real purpose, he doesn't want to really fight a civil war with the Tulip family at all!"

Oviedo patiently told his son about his understanding:

"He's not an idiot! Although the Tulip family is too powerful, it hinders the authority of the imperial power. But at the same time, the tulip family also has popularity, prestige, and popular support...... It even has a lot of strength.

From beginning to end, even such a drastic move as collusion with the Northwest Independent Division. Shilo didn't plan to really start a war mode with the Tulip family.

What he did was to deliberately wield a butcher's knife and then take advantage of the conditions he could use. Threaten the Tulip Family! Force the Tulip Family! Suppress people with power and force the Tulip Family to back down!

I'm not hiding it from you...... On the steppe, the White King is plotting a conspiracy, and the Northwest Independent Division has also rebelled...... Plus Shiloh's Thor's Whip...... The tulip family can be said to be attacked on three sides!

But even in this case, Shiloh did not go to war directly.

His ultimate goal is to force the Tulip family to choose to retreat and make concessions in such an embarrassing environment.

You remember! Hiloh's goal is to weaken the Tulip Family! But not to eliminate the Tulip Family!

His only mistake was that he didn't expect the duchess to play her cards according to common sense!

Because...... Even if I were the leader of the Tulip Family, I would choose to compromise and endure for the time being when I was attacked on three sides—I would choose to cut my flesh temporarily.

But the duchess was so bold, she seemed to have seen through Shiloh's heart, and saw through Shiloh's bluff, which seemed to be drastic, but in fact she was just forcing herself to give in.

So the duchess countered Shiloh with more drastic means.

You may understand when I say this: Shiloh originally calculated that the Tulip family would not dare to go to war, so he went to the drastic means. The Tulip family saw through Shiloh and didn't dare to go to war, so they chose a more intense reaction method.

Outcome...... You see it!

When the duchess led the cavalry across the border of Nulin Province, she didn't engage the Thor's Whip! Of course, there was an element of Thor's Whip commander being too cowardly.

But there are also reasons why the duchess deliberately used clever methods to scare people with momentum!

The battle report I saw, when the duchess led the troops to rush to the Thunder God's Whip, she did not directly take the means of charging, but ran in, and suppressed the commander of the Thunder God's Whip with words, speeches, might, and so on, which was simply a model of a heart-to-heart battle!

Or let me make an analogy: Shiloh threatens the Tulip family, 'If you don't let me, if you don't let you, everyone will die together!", he thinks that the Tulip family will not dare to die. And the tulip family said in turn, "I'm not afraid of death!" I want you to let you! If you don't let you, everyone will die together!'...... You see the results.

In fact, neither side wants to die. ”

Spann was silent for a moment, his eyes widening, "So...... Shiloh didn't want to fight a civil war, and neither did the duchess of the Tulip family...... So who wants to fight a civil war?"

"Aker!"

......

............

"You have to understand that the purpose of His Majesty Xiluo is to be the emperor...... Now he does. And after becoming an emperor, as an emperor, it is natural to reclaim the authority of the side, so weakening the Tulip family has become another goal for him. But you have to understand. Although weakening the Tulip family is the goal of His Majesty Shiloh, this purpose must have a premise, that is, it must not threaten his own emperor's reign!

And if there is a civil war...... Then it would be a great threat to his throne.

So...... Shiloh is determined to weaken the Tulip family, but he is not determined to fight a civil war for the time being. ”

Panin calmly told Rose these things in an almost indifferent tone:

"But Aker is different. When he helped Shiloh usurp the throne, his biggest purpose was to overpower the Tulip family!

With the strength of the Luo Lin family, it is almost impossible to overpower the Tulip family by ordinary means...... There is little hope in sight, at least for decades.

Aker, of course, does not expect his descendants. The reason why he is willing to take a huge risk to participate in the usurpation of the throne is that he hopes that the great cause of the Rollin family will overpower the Tulip family, or even replace the Tulip family, and be completed in his hands!

And to achieve this, it is necessary to resort to unconventional extreme measures!

That's ...... War!"

A gleam appeared in Rose's eyes when he listened: "That is to say...... Prior to the usurpation, the interests of Shiloh and Aker were aligned. Shiloh wants to be emperor, and Aker needs an emperor to support him against the Tulip family...... So the two joined forces to complete the usurpation. ”

After a pause, Rose continued, "And when Shiloh really becomes emperor...... Actually, between him and Aker. The common good is already shrinking...... Although there are still common goals, there will gradually be some differences?"

"That's right. ”

Panin replied sternly: "Aker must start a civil war! Only through the guò war! must pass the guò war! it is possible to accomplish the great cause in his heart! And for His Majesty Shilo, he only wants to weaken the tulip family, but the means to weaken." It's best if you don't have to fight. If this trend continues, there will definitely be some differences between the two. ”

"So...... Aker must not go to the northwest! once he goes to the northwest...... Even if the situation is something that everyone can compromise...... He's going to find a way to start a war?"

"It's almost a certainty. Panin smiled: "Actually, I'm not the only one who has seen this clearly. At least I knew. The Prime Minister had the same idea as me. ”

"Huh?"

Panin looked at his good friend: "Do you think I really want to be in power so much......? Just as soon as the news came from the northwest...... The prime minister quietly came to see me! I went into the palace and took the initiative to meet His Majesty Xiluo, and took the initiative to recommend myself to go to the northwest...... Actually, it was the Prime Minister's advice to me. ”

“............”

This time. Ross couldn't say a word!

......

............

"Father...... According to what you say...... Panin is the best person to go to the Northwest?"

"Of course. The Prime Minister bowed slightly: "Panin has enough ability...... Although he was younger, he played a decisive role in the process of the coup, and his position in the heart of His Majesty Xio was not necessarily lighter than that of Aker. The most important thing is that Shiloh trusts him, and he has enough ability. And...... Panin, who is also a person who understands, at least thinks about the interests of the country in his heart, unlike Aker, who only thinks about the status of his family. ”

Spann was silent for a moment, trying to digest his father's words.

But in the end, Spann suddenly had a doubt:

"Father...... What kind of person is this guy Panin? You don't hesitate to take such a big risk to do these things? And ...... Since he is a person who has the interests of the country in mind, why did he help Shiloh usurp the throne in the first place?!"
