"Have you read it?" Yolander threw the official document on the table casually and laughed. It seemed that he was in a very good mood.
"Your Majesty, these things seem... nothing to be happy about, right?" The old man behind Yolande felt puzzled.
"Think about the key points here." Yolande's smile continued: "An Fei proposed to assassinate Se Jialan, and then said that Se Jialan was dead, which ultimately led to Beeri's defeat. , An Fei is most likely a spy of the Shansha Empire! Another thing is that An Fei deliberately concealed the true identity of the princess of the Shansha Empire, and had ulterior motives. They asked me to send someone to escort An Fei back to the Holy City immediately for strict interrogation. "
"An Fei is becoming more and more popular, not to mention he is not good at socializing. When he returned to the Holy City last time to get married, many noble officials wanted to make friends with An Fei, but An Fei didn't see any of them, which ruined their face. It’s normal to feel jealous.”
"Oh? Is there more?"
"An Fei... seems to be full of contempt for the nobles in his heart. He doesn't take the nobles seriously at all and kills them whenever he wants. This makes the nobles very dissatisfied with An Fei and even think that An Fei is a subversive."
"What about Alice? Alice hasn't offended them, has she?" Yolande casually pulled out an official document: "Alice is the biological daughter of Edward VIII and must not be trusted. Not only did they ask me to invite Alice back, , we have to convene a notary meeting, order Alice to give a reasonable explanation at the notarization meeting, and even ask me to place Alice under house arrest, so that Alice cannot leave the Holy City under any circumstances."
"This is a bit unreasonable." The old man said with a bitter smile.
"Unifying the entire continent has been the dream of our Mao Empire for many years, but to them, this is not important." Yolande threw the official documents on the table again: "What is important is what they can gain from it, If they get nothing, they would rather lose this best opportunity."
The old man sighed softly. Didn't answer the call.
"They even want to use me and ask me to create a condition for them, haha... Invite Alice to the Holy City so that they can put pressure on Alice and finally achieve the purpose of controlling Alice. They are simply... treating me as a fool! "
"Maybe. They think Alice is just a girl, and scaring her can make her cry." The old man said with a smile.
"Guess whose handiwork this is?"
"Your Majesty. What did you say?" The old man didn't understand for a moment.
"Alice's identity is very important. In order to maintain the political stability of the Shansha Empire, we must rely on Alice's influence. In other words, Alice will occupy a pivotal position in the future." Yolander said slowly: " If Alice can really be controlled, how much benefit will it bring to them!"
"Your Majesty, this is just their wishful thinking."
"Your view is a bit one-sided." Yolande smiled: "Take a longer view. It is impossible for Alice to become the king. This will make the people of the Sand Sand Empire feel very uncomfortable, but there is a way. Solve these issues so that the two countries can truly be perfectly and harmoniously unified."
"any solution?"
"By marrying Alice, their children will become a natural choice. People in the Shansha Empire will be very happy to see this result, right? From my perspective... I also have to be cautious about the impact of this. Let me give you an example. , for example, Glendon’s ability is stronger than that of West, but West married Alice, for the sake of the stability of the continent and the true reunification of the two countries. I will most likely hand over my position to Victoria. St, rather than the stronger Glendon, understand?" Yolande said lightly: "That's why I ask you, whose handiwork do you think this is?"
"Chris is far away in the mercenary country, either West or Glendon."
"nonsense."
"Your Majesty, this is your family matter after all, I can't talk nonsense." The old man said with a bitter smile.
"What makes me most angry is that the nobles used various reasons to default on their taxes. Someone must be secretly supporting them. Now we are also responsible for transporting luggage to the soldiers of the Shansha Empire, and the pressure has doubled , they are making trouble at this time, they are simply treating national affairs as child's play, or... they are putting themselves above the country." Yolande sighed again: "It's my fault!"
"Your Majesty, how can these things be blamed on you? "It's my fault that I haven't been angry or killed for too long. "Julande smiled and said: "Philip has repeatedly disobeyed my orders. But I never really punished him. Now he is still allowed to get involved with West, in the eyes of those nobles. Maybe I have become a soft-hearted old fool! "
"Your Majesty means..." The old man's expression became solemn.
"The dream I've had for many years is about to come true. Whoever messes with me at this time is my enemy, no matter what his reasons are!" Yolande said softly: "Didn't you mention the tax arrears last time? Is the Right Prime Minister involved?”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Is the evidence sufficient?"
"I can always make the evidence stronger."
"Then do it."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
"Wait a minute." Yolande suddenly thought of something again: "How do you understand Alice's matter?"
"Alice is a very talented person. Your Majesty, you can ask Bailey and Sol. I believe their evaluation is the same as mine." The old man replied in a low voice: "An Fei's When the Grand Alliance was founded, it had only 2,000 mercenaries. In half a year, its strength expanded tenfold. According to common sense, An Feidi's power expanded too fast, and various mercenary forces were mixed together. It will definitely be a mess, but Alice manages the Grand Alliance in an orderly manner. Even An Fei often says that without Alice, there would be no Grand Alliance today."
"What about her flaws?"
"She is a bit naive and lacks decisiveness in doing things. This should be related to her age." The old man smiled: "But when she and An Fei are together, she becomes the best collaborator. She can make up for An Fei's shortcomings. An Fei can also make up for her shortcomings. Many times I wonder whether An Fei is... a young man. His scheming is too deep. "
"Do you think...if I gave Alice a chance, she wouldn't have other ideas?"
"I understand what your Majesty means." The old man thought for a moment: "Alice is not willing to stand up and has deep resistance. An Fei once clearly told Bailey that Alice does not trust us."
"I understand." Yolande smiled: "If Alice really has other intentions, no matter whether she trusts us or not, she will bravely take up the burden. She will not cooperate because she does not trust us, which proves that she wants to What she wants is very limited, and she can get it without us."
"Your Majesty, Alice worked very hard when managing the Grand Alliance, especially when An Fei continued to merge large numbers of mercenaries. The situation was too chaotic and complicated. Alice only went to bed late at night every day and got up before dawn. , worked from morning to night, and put the order of the Grand Alliance in order in a short period of time. I think...she regarded the Grand Alliance as her new home, because she had already despaired of Edward VIII." The old man slowly said Said: "The most valuable thing is that Alice is about the same as ordinary people. All she can fight for is her meager physical strength. If it were replaced by Bailey, it is estimated that there would be no problem without sleeping for a few days. Of course, if it were replaced by Bailey If it’s inside, it won’t move people too much.”
"It's indeed not easy." Yolande nodded slowly: "How do Alice and An Fei get along?"
"Your Highness and An Fei both respect Alice. Your Majesty, you also know what kind of person An Fei is. Although he is always respectful in front of you and Saul, he is a very aloof young man. , there are not many people on this continent who can win his respect, and of course, His Majesty must be one of them." The old man flattered him by the way, and continued: "And these days, I have been letting secret spies During the folk activities in the Shansha Empire, I found that the civilians in the Shansha Empire have a good impression of Alice. Alice once did something that the civilians still remember."
"What's up?"
"Once a plague broke out in three provinces of the Shansha Empire. What those nobles and officials did was to take their families and all their gold and silver treasures and escape as quickly as possible; what Edward VIII did , is to draw out the border guards, seal the borders of the province, prohibit civilians from entering and leaving, and strictly prevent the spread of the plague." The old man paused: "Alice ignored her own safety and entered the province where the plague broke out. The officials in charge of the place at the time Almost all the nobles and nobles fled, leaving only the victims everywhere, and the situation was extremely chaotic. Alice was running around organizing the victims, perhaps because she was too young and her status was too noble. Such a girl was willing to fight with the victims. The victims were deeply moved by living and dying together, and their emotions that were about to intensify were effectively controlled, and to this day, they are still praising Alice's purity and nobility."
"Okay! Well done!" Yolande showed an expression of appreciation: "So... even if I give her some heavy burdens, she can still carry them?"
"She can't... There are An Fei and Thor, they will naturally help Alice." The old man smiled bitterly: "But... Your Majesty, this victory has made many people more and more uneasy, and Alice After all, Si is now An Fei's side. If you continue to push An Fei, you may force some people to make a life-or-death decision."
"I am still alive, Sol, Beeri, Mioric, and you, we are all alive, haha... So, the net will not be broken, but some fish must die!"
