Holt, Barumunge.

One dares to speak, the other dares to listen.

These two people are simply Wolong and phoenix chicks, a natural pair.

Holt didn't want to think about it, if he was really so bullish, he could still fall into such a situation of uprooting his homeland now? Don't look at what he is talking about now, but did he really care what would happen to the border at the beginning? Now Holt sincerely believes that he has put too much energy on the border, which has neglected internal control. In order to deceive Barumunge, he even deceived himself, perhaps this is the highest level of deception.

As for Barumunge, he didn't consider at all that if Holt was really so shrewd, how could he be easily snatched from the throne by a princess who had no foundation and few supporters.

All in all, the two had a good conversation.

Barumunger was convinced of Holt.

He thinks he has a perfect grasp of Holt's mentality.

Now Holt's biggest goal must be to restore the country, and the only one who can help Holt complete the great cause of restoration is himself, this old and cunning thing will definitely try his best to assist himself, and now Holt's proposal must be credible.

There is no way, Barumunger knows his own family affairs.

In the Douglas royal family, he is the one with the best cultivation talent, and it can even be said that he has the best talent for three thousand years after Douglas seized the royal status, but he seems to have added all the attribute points to his cultivation, and his level of dealing with people, power manipulation, and cultivation are completely at the other extreme.

In fact, Barumunge's father also hesitated for a long time in the position of king.

Barumunge's talent in cultivation is really good, and it is a pity that such a powerful member of the royal family does not become a king, but on the other hand, he is worried that Barumunge's brain may be fooled by the nobles and the church.

In the end, because of Barumunge's other brothers, for inexplicable reasons, all died overnight, and after there were no competitors, the position of the king had to fall on Barumunge.

This is similar to what Ashiburn did.

But it's still that sentence, some things can be seen through, not broken, since there is only the only heir left, then you can only cultivate as much as possible, it's a pity that Barumunge's IQ in dealing with government affairs is too low, and the mud can't be on the wall, it just so happens that Barumunger also has a cousin in the royal family, born smart, scheming, in line with the principle that fat water does not flow into outsiders' fields, Barumunge's father matched the two together, and this cousin became the princess of Barumunge, plus Barumunger's own strength, The royal family can guarantee prosperity for decades.

It's a pity that Her Royal Highness the princess and Barumunge belong to the completely opposite type, there is no talent in cultivation, and the life expectancy is only at the level of a normal person, even if the royal family has good living conditions, and at the same time has the best healer and the most exquisite medicine, but it is difficult to resist the destiny of heaven.

Just a few years ago, the princess died.

Without the princess to give advice and the princess's suppression, Barumunger is like a magic knife that has lost its scabbard, completely out of control.

If it's just stupid, then it's okay, at least the royal heritage is still there, and it won't be easily shaken.

If you have a stupid brain and strong strength, it doesn't matter, this strength is enough to ensure that the royal family will be rich for decades.

But if you have a stupid brain, strong strength, and a suspicious personality, then it will be a real disaster.

After the death of the princess, Barumunger fell ill with a disease that was called: There are always people who want to harm me!

He has become more and more authoritarian, no matter who he looks at, he always feels that the guy wants to seek his own throne, especially when he looks at the members of the royal family, his eyes seem to be full of greed.

Once, because a nobleman inadvertently mentioned in his ear, saying that his cousins were quite dissatisfied with the throne falling on his head, how could a fool be a good king, so in half a year, his cousins were almost killed and injured.

Someone else told him, "Is there a prince in this world for sixty years?"

So, he killed three of his sons, including the crown prince, in one day.

The throne is his, and no one wants to take it away.

It was under the slaughter of Barumunger's own hands that the influence of the royal family continued to decline, although there were still princes alive, but most of the remaining princes were mediocre and inactive, but those princesses who had no inheritance rights were spared.

But such a fool who is extremely suspicious of his own son believes in Holt almost unconditionally, and the biggest reason is that Barumunger is sure that no matter how things develop, Holt does not pose any threat to his throne.

It's just to help Holt restore the country, Barumunger doesn't mind helping his allies a little, not to mention that even if he helps, he can't help in vain, right?

Granville's territory is so large, it's okay to cede a little, right?

It would be best if this territory could produce black oil.

Both of them have their own ghosts, Barumunger was thinking in his heart, and he spoke again: "You are right, now is indeed a good opportunity to get rid of Marcelino, so what do you say we should do?" ”

Holt smiled leisurely, full of confidence, compared to the muscular but brainless king in front of him, he, the former king of Granville, really has the capital of self-confidence: "The current church is divided into two factions, one is Marcelino, and the other is the saint Isabelle......"

"What Isabel did has aroused a lot of sympathy in the church, of course, this sympathy is not easy to transform into real power, in fact, Isabel still does not have much real power in the Heart of Nature Church, and the opposition in the church just pushes out the holy woman Isabel as a façade, at least with this holy woman in front, everything they do has a name."

"And Marcelino, although it looks embarrassing this time, but their family has been deeply involved in the church for so many years, and their power is deep-rooted, it is definitely not so easy to be overturned, although the opposition seems to be huge, but do you think it is useful for them to make trouble for more than half a year?"

"On Marcelino's side, apart from the fact that his reputation has become more dirty, the actual power has not suffered any loss."

"In this case, we have to start from four aspects: on the one hand, to contact the opposition, to secretly provide strength to the opposition, to increase the power of the opposition, it is best to start from the edge, little by little to cut off Marcelino's wings, we must be very careful in this regard, we must not let Marcelino perceive."

"The second aspect, secretly sent people to stir up public opinion, although the reputation of Marcelino and Ahirburn has been stinky, but it is not enough, the royal family and the church have been fighting for so many years, they should have a lot of black material in the church, and all these black materials are detained on the head of the Marcelino family, so that everyone in the Spann Church feels disgusted when they hear the four words Marcelino, and when they see the members of the Marcelino family, or those priests who are attached to Marcelino, they can't help but want to rush up and spew saliva, so that When Marcelino is completely eradicated in the future, a lot of pressure from public opinion can be avoided, and at the same time, the collusion between the aristocracy and Marcelino can be avoided. ”

"After all, although the aristocracy cares about profits, they also care about face."

"After the second plan is implemented, you can carry out the third plan, find a few commoners or nobles who have been bullied by Marcelino's men, report to the royal family, and use the crowd as an excuse to eliminate some of Marcelino's loyal subordinates on the surface, on the one hand, it can continue to weaken Marcelino's power, and on the other hand, it can shape the reputation of the royal family, and Marcelino's side can only endure even if it suffers."

"Fourth, secretly contact Isabel, Isabel is very miserable now, the original fiancé Ashburn because she is no longer chaste, disgusted in every way, sacrificed his body, and in the end he got nothing, Marcelino will never allow his son's wife, the saint of the church is an unchaste person, once Marcelino has a firm foothold, he will definitely find a way to expel Isabel, and although the opposition nominally respects Isabel, but in fact few people take Isabel to heart, it can be said that this cowardly saint, Now there is no one to rely on. ”

"And the royal family, you can secretly stand behind Isabel, and you can even arrange for an heir to contact Isabel, and it is best that the two can enter into a marriage contract."

Barumunger's brows suddenly frowned: "Joke, how can the wife of my Douglas family heir be a broken flower and a willow, this ......"

Holt laughed in his heart.

Still disgusted with the remnants of flowers and willows?

Come on.

The aristocratic royal family really cares about this, are you still alive?

Just the bunch of princesses in your harem, I don't know how many hats I put on you behind my back.

Lao Tzu's princesses are all very flowery, how much better do you think you can get?

Of course, now that the two sides are still in the stage of cooperation, it is still necessary to save some face for Barumunge, Holt coughed vigorously and forcibly changed the topic: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to care about these things. ”

"Think about it, which is more important, the face of the royal family, or the actual power in hand?"

"Although Isabel has no real power, she is a benchmark and a banner in any case, and she has sacrificed so much for the Heart of Nature Church, even if Marcelino can suppress the opposition, it will not be easy to expel Isabel."

"And once Isabel becomes the princess of a certain prince, there will immediately be a substantial energy behind it, with the ability of the royal family, to assist Isabel and the opposition to suppress Marcelino, and then through Isabel, and then eradicate those opposition, at that time, the royal family, the church are all under your control, and it is not easy to go back and suppress the nobles again."

"After the internal stability is completely stable, wouldn't it be easy for you to control the three forces of the royal family, the nobles, and the church at the same time, and then quell the disasters on the frontier?"

At the same time, he was in charge of the aristocracy, the church, and the royal family...... Completely taking the Spong Sect under his control, Holt's blunt words Barumonge's blood boiled, his breathing became extremely heavy, and his eyes were even more scarlet light.

Greedy, excited, he seems to have seen the day when he becomes the true master.

"That's it."

……

The other side.

Spell Sect Nation.

Heart of Nature Church Headquarters.

Papal Palace.

Marcelino. Pope Brandt's face was gloomy, what happened recently made him a pope, this is the biggest challenge he has encountered since he became a pope, his eyes swept over Ashburn, who was sitting in the lower position, and a burst of anger and even murderous intent surged in his heart.

In this life, he was fierce and cruel, suppressed the opposition within the church, and his hands were covered with blood, but he didn't expect to fall on his own son's side.

He originally wanted to transfer the Holy Son from the head of Ahibon to the eldest son, but he didn't expect that the second son of Ahibon would be so fierce that he would kill all four of his own brothers.

Especially the fifth child, he is not yet ten years old.

The most important thing is that Lao Wu has always had a good relationship with Ahiborne, and this cruel bastard like a demon can really do it.

God knows, after knowing the news, what kind of mood Marcelino felt, at that moment, he only felt that the world was spinning, and he almost fainted directly, and he wanted to crush Ashborne's head with his own hands.

But in the end, Marcelino could only suppress all the killing intent, there was no way, just this one son......

It's not impossible to practice the trumpet again, but it takes too long, and besides, who can guarantee that the trumpet will become a big one?

With the viciousness of Ahbourne, eighty percent of this trumpet may die violently due to an accident.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy he was in his heart, now Marcelino could only protect Ahiborne, with his power in the church, it was not difficult to keep Ahiborne, but this also caused the family's reputation to be seriously damaged, and his authority as the pope began to be questioned.

Compared with Marcelino's anger, the great saint Mireya next to her was quite calm, and she didn't have much anger because of the death of her sons, after all...... Those were Marcelino's sons, not her sons.

The mothers of those sons were nuns who had been plagued by Marcelino in the Church.

It's best to get killed, she doesn't feel distressed.

Ahiborne's face was even more leisurely, but unfortunately, a face full of scars and potholes, even if it was a leisurely appearance, it looked particularly hideous.

"Don't be idle, let's talk, what are we going to do now?" After a long time, Marcelino finally suppressed the killing intent and anger in his heart, and spoke in a gloomy voice. "Recently, the voices in the church against our family have been getting louder and louder, and now I can still calm down, but if things continue to develop like this, maybe some concessions will have to be made."

You can't kill them all directly, and if you do that, you're bound to deviate from morality.

Ahbourne, who had been drinking tea gracefully, finally put down his teacup and grinned his uneven lips: "Actually, the solution is very simple. ’

"Misfortune leads to ......"

Marcelino's eyes narrowed as well.

Seriously, if it weren't for this incident, Ashiburn really would be the best family heir.

Compared to strength, his flexible brain is also very suitable for being a helmsman.

"How?" Marcelino asked.

"This is not simple, the church headquarters, after many years of operation of our family, although there are anti-bones, but after all, it is not a climate, and those who dare to shout for my father's abdication are basically the disciples of the branch."

"And now, Barumunge is not having a good time."

"You must know that over the years, the life of the common people of the Sibang Sect has become more and more difficult, and the civilians of the royal city can barely survive on the cold and cold of the scraps, but outside the royal city, especially near the border, the days are getting harder and harder day by day, not to mention anything else, last winter alone, the entire kingdom starved to death, and millions of civilians froze to death."

"Some small nobles, life is also bitter, they are quite dissatisfied with the royal family, if we provoke a little at this time, do you think there will be a rebellion among the people?"

"The people rebelled? This...... How can it be? Barumunger's brow furrowed.

He felt incredible.

All along, the struggle for power and profit has happened in the upper world.

As for the civilians at the bottom, to put it bluntly, struggle for power and profit, rebellion? Do you have what it takes?

"What's impossible...... Father, don't you see the current situation clearly? ”

"Without the dragons, the shackles that suppressed us are gone, but in the same way, the chains around the necks of the common people are gone, and those soldiers in Granville can follow Delores to oust Holt from the throne, and the commoners of Delores can eat the nobles alive on the streets......"

"Civilians who are not suppressed and are forced to a dead end, what can't they do?"

I have to say that at this time, Ashburn was more wise than Barumunge.

Of course, this was actually what Simmons told him.

Before, he listened to Simmons's advice, killed all his brothers, and really stabilized the position of the Holy Son, and now Ashbourne regards Simmons as a hardcore confidant and trusts him very much.

Moreover, I have to say that this Simmons is really talented.

For Ahbone, who has lost his original support at this stage, Simmons' appearance is simply a gift from heaven to his treasure.

"Now, as long as someone can take the lead a little, I can guarantee that the spark of rebellion will sweep through the entire kingdom in a very short time."

"Since they have all rebelled, it's normal for the church to be accidentally impacted, right?"

"It's normal for those who oppose our clergy to be killed by carelessness, right?"

Because he had a draft in his heart, Ashburn spoke eloquently and confidently.

As soon as these words came out, Marcelino's eyes brightened.

So much better.

I said before that I couldn't kill all the opponents, mainly because I was worried that killing these people would affect my reputation and cause more people to oppose them, but if these people were killed by the rebellious mob, it had nothing to do with me.

"Moreover, the border rebellion, the old thing of Barumunge will definitely be anxious, and it will inevitably mobilize forces to suppress it, and now in the north and south, a large number of soldiers have been arranged to guard against the orcs and the Granville Kingdom, and if you continue to transfer troops, there will definitely be less power that Barumunger can use in the royal city."

"In this way, it is not impossible to see the opportunity to oust Barumunger from the king's throne."

"At that time, the royal power, the divine power, will be in our hands, and as for the mere nobles, they will not have the strength to resist us at all."

It has to be said that careerists all have very similar ways of thinking.

Ashiburn's plan and Holt's arrangement for Barumunger are nothing short of similar.

Marcelino became more and more excited, and looked at Ahiburn more and more satisfied, this son is indeed quite good, if it were not so ruthless, it would be better to kill all four brothers at once.

He reviewed Ashborne's plan again in his heart, and nodded again: "This plan is indeed feasible, but how to do it exactly?" ”

"I don't think that ordinary petty nobles, or petty commoners, have the ability and courage to rebel."

"Moreover, once the commoners rebel, it will definitely not only be the royal family that wants to overthrow, but also the nobles, maybe there will be no need for Barumunger to make a move at all, and those nobles will be able to suppress the rebellion."

"That's true." Ahbone nodded and said, "So, we need to provide a banner for this kind of rebellion, and it is best to cooperate with the royal family and let a member of the royal family rebel." ”

Marcelino frowned: "The royal family rebelled against themselves? Are you sure you're not kidding? ”

Ahbourne smiled, "My father, you have to believe that anything is possible. ”

"What about the members of the royal family? Not every member of the royal family is eligible to inherit the throne, and don't forget, there is only one throne. ”

"And, even within the royal family, there must be people who have grievances against Barumunge, such as ...... The third princess, Lydia. ”

"If there can be a queen in Granville, why can't the Spann Sect?"

"Don't forget, Lydia and the third prince are twin brothers and sisters, and the relationship is very good, a few years ago, the third prince and the eldest prince and the second prince were killed together, which made Lydia very dissatisfied, and the relationship between the father of Barumonge has also become very estranged, and recently I heard that Balimanger is preparing to marry Lydia to a son-in-law of the Copperfield family in order to win over the Grand Duke of Copperfield."

"And Lydia is also very dissatisfied with this marriage, and Barumonge has quarreled many times over this matter, and the relationship is getting worse and worse, it is not an exaggeration to say that water and fire are incompatible, and there are even rumors that Lydia is ready to break away from the royal family and dissolve the father-daughter relationship with Barumonge......"

"Both sides even took action......"

"You say, if we sow discord and provide support behind our backs, will Lydia rebel in order not to marry into the Copperfield family?"

"Right now, Lydia is alone, and this is the most vulnerable time, and if we help now, Lydia will fall completely to our side."

"That's just a woman, how many scheming can you have, it will inevitably be controlled by us, and at that time, we can become the master of this country by manipulating Lydia."

"Even if you let Lydia marry the male of the family, from now on, there will be half of our family in the royal bloodline."

And now, all the members of the family have been killed by Ashiborne, and he is the only man who can become the husband of the future queen.

Six thousand will be sent, and there will be a chapter later

(End of chapter)
