Law of the Devil Chapter 389: [Philippe Delly Snow]
Chapter 389 [Philip Delly Snow]
After returning to the castle of the Ducal Mansion, Philip immediately called a few tailors in the castle, privately told him something, and then sent them to the chamber where Princess Louise was staying.
Afterwards, Alpha also secretly led a group of people to spy around the chamber of commerce. Every other hour, someone would immediately send the news back to the Duke's House.
Reassuring Philip is that nothing seems to have happened in the afternoon.
At this time, what did Princess Louise go to the northwest to do? Although Philip was confused about this issue, in his opinion, it was not a big problem.
The key question is ... Delly! What is this future princess doing?
Philip is not a simple-headed person. Although he has been informed that Miss Delly is a friend of Princess Louise ... But don't forget that Delly is not only the future princess, but she is still the empire It is recognized that the Duke of Tulips's biggest political rival, the sister of General Alpai, leader of the Thor's Whip Legion.
As an outstanding disciple of Mr. Lan Hai, Philip is not only proficient in political strategy, but also researched the art of emperors.
From the time when Alpai rose like a comet, Philip accurately judged the intention of the regent.
Balance, the key to Emperor's Art, is always balance!
At that time, after careful analysis, Philip put forward his own suggestion to Du Wei: Du Wei ’s military newspaper accusing Alpay of grabbing power was written by Philip himself ...
...
That night, Philip, the young aide, spoke to Dewey a visionary.
"Master Duke. From the present point of view, your strength has reached a bottleneck! In the title, you are already the Duke! Under the law that the direct royal family must not be crowned, your title has reached its peak! From the official position, you have the rank of general, as well as the members of the Academy of Magicians, the dean of the Academy of Magic, the head of the Northwest Theater ... This kind of official position. It can also be described as an extreme minister! At the same time within the empire, One hundred thousand soldiers, the important thing is that you also have the advantages of air weapons that can transcend this era! And to the outside world, the Rolling family can help you! Imagine if you were an emperor, you would like to see Does such a 'strong minister' appear under his own? And it is still a stand-alone 'strong minister'! Prince Chen just came to power before and erect your newcomer king. It is to show that he is a new generation of monarch The ambition and pioneering intention are also to suppress those old ministers. However, as his position stabilizes, the empire is in his grasp, so if you are too powerful. It will make the emperor feel unstable. However, in the past two years, we can be seen as sharp in the northwest ... Although I have already suggested that when the Northwest annihilates the Northwest Corps this time. Destroy Guhuadu Luo's military power was given to others ... but it seems that the regent is still not assured. Alpai is that the king made a **** restricted to us. And then, if nothing unexpected happens, here is Ten years will be the most crucial period for the new tulip family to flourish or decline or even collapse! "
When talking about these places, Philip bent down to Du Wei, then the young man suddenly smiled in an unprecedented relaxed tone: "Master. I have been loyal to you, I don't want my boss Downfall so soon. "
Philip then analyzed Du Wei's several dangerous and fatal weaknesses:
"First, it is your status! Your status is too high now! High status, although it is a good thing, is a very dangerous double-edged sword for you! Because of your age! Indeed, now in the empire, purely in terms of status. There is also the old prime minister Robescher who can compete with you on prestige. But don't forget. Lord Robscher, it is already seventy this year. But you ... I'm only 18 years old! From a normal rule, your political career is at least 50 years old. But your status has reached the pinnacle of everything a person can have. I venture to ask you one: Lord Duke, may I ask, if you make any contribution to the empire in the next few decades, what should the Regent do to reward you? Is it really cracking the earth? Or ... give the emperor the place to You? These are absolutely impossible. The Regent may appreciate you now, but he is a king after all, and an aspiring and ambitious king.
The second weakness, your military power! For a noble private army, our Tulip family now has nearly 50,000 troops, which is already the limit that a noble can reach. Although it has not exceeded the number stipulated by the empire's laws, I am afraid that even the blind can see how powerful our army is. I can directly say that if we count those ultra-new weapons and combat units, our 50,000 troops, even if we encounter the most powerful main battle legion of the empire, will have a battle! As for the other local defense forces, there is no need to mention them. I remember you said something that I admire very much, it ’s called ‘Sleeping side, how can you let others sleep? ’If you change to Prince Chen, can you be so relieved that you have such a strong force against a nobleman under your control?
The third weakness, your wealth! Even me, I have to admire you. Lord Duke, I am afraid that you are the person who is most good at collecting money since the founding of the Empire for thousands of years! And the speed at which you make money is almost a miracle! Since you were fourteen years old, and now, in just four years, you have the strongest financial resources on the mainland! No matter how many industries you have created, so many miracles, and even the wealth we have swept from Nanyang, I am afraid that no one has made money faster than you since the millennium of the Empire. But the problem is here ... if you simply have soldiers, then the empire can use financial money and food to restrain you, but you ... but there are soldiers, money, food, and territory ... these three combine together, Which king can rest assured?
The fourth weakness, your opponent! This is the point that worries me most! It has always been in politics. Don't be afraid that you are strong, you are afraid that you have no opponents! Because once you have no opponent, it will cause the king's scruples. I have carefully studied the coup d'état more than two years ago, and have heard my teacher, Mr. Lan Hai, analyze the royal struggle. The current emperor, His Majesty Augustine VI, once held his eldest son, Prince Avon, unfortunately, the old emperor had grown up before he was old. Fearing that the great prince would grab the class and seize power in advance, the old emperor would pick up his youngest son, prince Chen. In fact, the old emperor may not really like Prince Chen, but just use him to balance the big prince.
Can you see that there are political opponents in your empire that can balance you?
This was originally my biggest concern. I even secretly worried that if there were no more political opponents in the empire that could be your enemy, then I am afraid that within three years, you are powerful. Will cause panic of the regent! It's panic, not just suspicion! Sir, if that time comes, the Regent will not hesitate to suppress you, even. Take some drastic measures!
Fortunately, now the regent does not want to move your mind, but ‘finds’ a political opponent for you. Such a move can be said to be very smart. And it's a safety to you! Because of this move, it has shown that the regent king still wants to continue to reuse you, instead of unloading and killing donkeys in a short time. My advice to you is that no matter how our regent is holding this newcomer, you must ‘cooperate’ well. What the Regent meant was that he wanted us to fight. Then we will show him. However, in the course of this fight, we have to take the initiative and grasp the situation, and then we can rest assured. "
This remark is undoubtedly a very clever political hand. These theoretical things can be said to be the outstanding results of training students in the Blue Ocean University. And at the same time. Young Philip. In three years in the Northwest, he has finally grown into a brilliant real staff.
This strategy for building high-rise buildings. Very appreciated by Dewey. But Philip's talent doesn't stop there!
After setting up this large master plan for Dewey, Philip did not ignore the details.
"The general direction is basically not dangerous. But we must also be extra careful about this 'political enemy'! After all, Lord Duke, I want to remind you that everyone is ambitious! For us to come Say, make a few fake and fake fights with political opponents, so that the regent can rest assured. But for this political opponent ... people may not be willing to give us sparring! Now our fight is not just ordinary fights, it is said Understand something, it can even be said that in the next few decades, the empire will be the battle of the first tyrant family of the entire empire! Now it seems that you have some advantages, but the other party is not without a chance! I just said, people They are all ambitious. It is difficult to guarantee that the other party does not want to take advantage of this opportunity to really fight us down! Therefore, we must be extra careful about the family of this guy, Alpay! "
This dialogue was just after the end of the Northwest War. One night, Philip gave Du Wei his whole thoughts.
Now, the general development of things basically conforms to Philip's vision.
Unfortunately, the only discordant note is from this Miss Delly!
When the regent announced his marriage event in the imperial capital, less than three days later, the news quickly passed to the northwest.
Philip immediately researched the news.
In his opinion, this news is not good news for Dewey.
Alpai's family is destined to become Duvie's old enemy. And in this old enemy's family, there was a princess ... a princess known for her young beauty.
This is a hidden danger for Dewey!
Although the Regent is a very opinionated monarch, and marrying this Miss Delly, it is clearly a feelingless political marriage. But things like feelings are hard to say. Prince Regent Wang Chen is famous for his passionate youth in the capital. And this Miss Delly is also the number one beauty in the southern aristocracy circle, beautiful and versatile. There is no guarantee that the regent will not fall in love with this young wife deeply.
At that time, as long as the pillow blows constantly, then even if a man has an opinion, the potential impact day after day is very dangerous to Dewey.
And ... not only that. Philip looks farther!
As a disciple of the blue ocean, Philip's research on the art of the emperor has won the essence of the blue ocean. He even made a careful analysis of the current royal family long ago.
In his opinion, the most worrying thing is the future crown prince!
The Regent is only in his twenties. Although he has a son, Prince Charles, the regent is still so young. In the next few decades, it will be difficult to guarantee that Princess Xindeli will not give birth to a new prince. What if the new prince is smarter and more loved by the regent?
Also, it is easy to understand that the queen of the regent is not a big family who was born. After all, when Prince Chen married for the first time, he was still very young. At that time, the red man in the battle between the imperial crown princes was the great prince Yawen. At that time, most of the wealthy men stood beside the great prince, and few people would press the treasure on the prince Chen. Emperor Chen's current queen. Just the daughter of a middle noble family.
In the future, if Princess Delly gives birth to a boy, the next generation of Crown Princes will compete for the current Prince Charles. I am afraid there is no support from my mother's family.
And Princess Delly is not afraid. Her family is very powerful in the south, and Alpay is still the leader of the army! Possess great military power in the empire! !!
Okay, even if the Regent wouldn't be easily tempted ... But don't forget the lesson learned! !!
The regent is only in his twenties, and his eldest son, Prince Charles, has heard that he is very smart. But if twenty years later ... when Prince Charles was thirty, it was the age when a man was most eager to build his career! At that time, Prince Regent Wang Chen. I'm under 50! It is the peak age of the most mature and most thoughtful monarch!
Maybe, I'm afraid I will repeat the story of the old emperor Augustine VI: In order to avoid the adult eldest son wanting to grab the class and seize power, he deliberately held out his young son ...
Although everyone says that the current regent is much smarter than the old emperor Augustine VI.
What can happen to the throne? What is impossible?
So, in the future, General Alpay's family has become Dewey's biggest illusion enemy!
And Philip did a thorough study of the family.
Especially this future princess, Miss Delly.
Although the superficial intelligence obtained, it just shows how young and beautiful this Miss Delly is. He also has artistic talent and talent ... but Philip. But from the vast amount of information collected, I saw a very unusual clue!
Gathering local intelligence. I put a whole drawer in Philip's room. The information tells a few subtle things about Miss Delly's previous years, which made Philip very concerned!
The first thing was that during the snowstorm in the south last year, there were riots in many areas. Although the empire also took some relief measures, the roads were destroyed and money and food could not be carried smoothly. There was some unrest in the hungry victims. Even in some places, the victims besieged the local aristocracy and robbed of food and money.
At this time, the Miss Delly donated all her jewellery. As a result, the local people were very moved by the kindness of the Miss. Even those victims, like her as the goddess incarnation, praised Miss Delly for her kindness.
But Philip sneered!
Donated jewelry? What a joke! How much is the jewelry of a noble lady? What's more, this Miss Delly is usually known for her virtue of "simple life"! How much can a jewel girl from her "simple" aristocracy be worth?
10,000 gold coins? 20,000 gold coins?
Such money can only be regarded as an inconspicuous number for donations. What makes people think deeply ... This time the snow disaster in the south, many aristocrats in the empire also donated in response to the call of the church, and many people who donated 100,000 to hundreds of thousands were present!
But who remembers the names of those people?
But it is such a girl who has donated only a few pieces of jewelry, but her name has spread throughout the north and south of the mainland! For a while, there was no prestige!
A noble girl donated several pieces of jewelry. It wasn't a big deal, but why did the news spread so widely?
If no one is secretive and intentionally spreads secretly, Philip will not be killed!
It's clear. Just four words:
Buy people! !!
The second thing is recorded in the data file, which happened a few years ago. At that time, the patriarch was preparing to determine the future patriarch's heir to the patriarch. At that time, the young people in this family who were very loud were not General Alpay! At that time, Al Pai was just a deputy commander in a local defense force.
But, at this time. However, Miss Delly stood up and supported her brother Al Pai. With the support of her goddess of admiration in the hearts of many aristocratic youths, Al Pai immediately received the support of many aristocrats and had extensive contacts!
Although this means, to Philip, it is slightly naive. However, for a girl who is only fifteen years old. Being able to do this is already amazing.
What do these things mean?
Delly is definitely not a simple and kind girl in the legend who has artistic talent!
In Philip's mind, this Miss Delly is young and beautiful. At the same time, a woman who knows how to buy people's hearts and knows how to use it!
And now, such a girl. Who is about to become a princess and can influence the regents up close.
This girl suddenly came to the northwest now!
What is she doing here?
Simply accompany the princess?
Philip didn't believe it!
Frowning, Philip was lost in thought, and he looked over and over at the report sent by the man below.
Even Mr. Alpha, who is guarding the Chamber of Commerce, sent several reports. On the surface, there seems to be nothing special. It is nothing more than someone who came out of the Chamber of Commerce and where to buy things. What people I met ... are everyday things.
One of the messages caught Philip's attention.
A lady of Miss Delly was discovered by Philip's men and went to the residence of the Liszt Family Chamber of Commerce in the city. This is not surprising. Philip knew that Princess Louise had a relationship with Mrs. Liszt and came to the northwest. It is also normal.
It is worth noting that this sent-in maid went to another place of the Liszt family, but went to another place!
Religious place of bright church in the city.
Also. Just after the maid left the place of worship. Her Royal Highness, who had been living in the place of worship, went out immediately. Go to the Chamber of Commerce to be a guest! !!
That is to say, Her Royal Highness didn't go to see Princess Louise until the maid sent the news!
Princess Louise will never send someone to invite the maiden, after all, Princess Louise and Prince Chen were born to a mother, and the prince's father, Yawen, died in the hands of Prince Chen! The relationship between the two is absolutely not in harmony.
So, is that Miss Delly quietly sending someone to invite the maiden?
What is she trying to do, Delly? !!
Philip's handsome face suddenly flashed a haze. This young man has built up his full self-confidence. He believes in his own wisdom and thinks hard about this issue. Trying to connect several people to think ...
And at this time, inadvertently, his mind suddenly gave birth to the shadow of the guy named Xuexuedi. That person who looks almost perfect!
"Why do I suddenly think of that guy ... although his origins are a bit suspicious, but ... why, I always have a feeling in my heart that this person is dangerous."
Suddenly, Philip jumped up!
In an instant, he thought of a terrible possibility!
