There is a saying that individual interests must be subordinated to collective interests, but this is not absolute. The threat of Minos I has been eliminated, and the Mao Empire has unified the continent. Everyone should be sharing the peaceful time. However, the contradiction between the Holy See of Light and the Goddess of Nature has gradually worsened. They can share adversity but not wealth. Examples abound, one more is not enough, and one less is not enough.
However, those who can become the pinnacle of power will of course be subject to fewer restrictions. No matter what kind of trouble the people below make, the real controllers are deliberately suppressing the radical emotions in the church and do not want these bad things to affect each other's relationship. feelings between. In a generally decorated tavern in the Holy City, Stan, who had become the Archbishop, opened the door of a private room and walked in. Manshu was already waiting inside.
"You are always very punctual, but today you are a little unusual." Mang Shu said with a smile.
"Don't mention it." Stan sat on the chair opposite Mang Shu with a look of helplessness on his face: "His Royal Highness Prince West personally came to my door to deliver wedding stickers to me, so I had to deal with him for a while."
"I received it too." Manshu paused: "Are you going?"
"Will you go?" Stan asked calmly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and a figure appeared in their minds at the same time. After An Fei killed Minos I that day, he left the dust, leaving them and even the whole world a lonely figure. Since then, there has been no news, but disappearance and non-existence are two completely different things, not to mention An Fei must have stepped into After reaching the holy level, who can guarantee that An Fei will not suddenly appear
Therefore, when it comes to the issue of Juland's successor, whether it is the Church of Light, the Goddess of Nature, or the military represented by Beeri and Mioric, they are deliberately keeping a distance. Attitude, even if you don't support Chris Ding, you must not support the other two princes, otherwise big trouble will happen!
And Chris Ding's advantages have become more and more obvious. Alice has become the uncrowned king of the eight provinces of Shansha. Even the decrees from the Holy City must be nodded by Alice before they can be implemented. If Alice doesn't nod, it is just a piece of paper. After several years of management, she has accumulated a lot of money in the eight provinces. Immeasurable reputation. In fact, Alice has a huge advantage, and the eight provinces of Shansha are almost broken and then established. The originally bloated aristocratic official class was destroyed by Alice. The rebuilt management system was not only lean, but also operated cautiously under Alice's supervision. No one dared to do anything wrong. The heavy burdens of the people of Shansha have been completely removed, and the feeling of happiness and relief is indescribable in words. Their thoughts are very simple, whoever can make them live a good life is their benefactor, and whoever wants to harm Alice , who just want to ruin their happy life. They risk their lives to protect Alice, and the people's support can be used. This is by no means empty talk!
Some people believe that Alice's influence on the empire is getting greater and greater, and the potential threat to them is naturally becoming more and more serious, so they come to Yolande and say bad things about Alice. It is a pity that Julande made great efforts to implement restructuring in the early stage. It is to alleviate social conflicts and allow civilians to live a good life. Finally, due to various pressures, he had to stop and do what he did to Alice. In addition to appreciating it, he appreciates it, because what he has done, Alice has already done, and what Alice has done, it will be difficult for him to do it in his life. At least he cannot wipe out all the noble officials in the country. Of course it was much easier to draw on white paper, but in front of him was a piece of papyrus covered with graffiti, and every change required countless efforts. In fact, reform and war are equally dangerous!
Christian has more than just political advantages. Compared with the influence of the second prince Glendon in the Northern Front Army, he has a more trusted army. If Julande and Glendon issued contrary orders, the Northern Front Army would definitely obey the former's orders, but it would be intriguing to know who the Moroccan sand army would obey.
In addition, Anthony and Huiwei became the top and second bosses in the mercenary world. They monopolized the magic crystal trade, making them extremely wealthy in just a few years. Moreover, the major alliance mercenary group was able to survive the storms one after another. It has become an iron plate, and no one can get involved. There are jealous people, and there are people who want to use tricks and tricks, but no one benefits from it. There was even a farce that affected a lot. Businessmen banded together and tried to force Anthony and Huiwei to bow their heads by boycotting the transportation of food and other daily necessities. What is sad is that Alice, who is in charge of the eight provinces of Sabah, With a stroke of a pen, a steady stream of materials flowed from the eight provinces of Shansha into the Free Province at very low prices. The Free Province was the original country of mercenaries. Julande hinted at his commitment in the name of freedom. .
Facts have proved that no matter which plane they are in, collusion between government and business is an invincible and powerful combination. It is almost impossible to defeat Alice and Anthony, unless a rich man colludes with Julande. With Julande's ability Only power can comprehensively suppress Alice. The question is, does it make sense for Yolande to make money
Apart from political, military and economic advantages, Anfei is a sharp blade hanging over the head or an invisible blade to some people. If An Fei lived in the sun, they might be able to live better. At this moment, they don't know when An Fei will appear, and they don't know what An Fei is doing behind the scenes. They can't see or touch it, but they are sure. The real threat makes people sleepless and sleepless. As for An Fei's strength, no one doubts it anymore. The top experts who came to Greenwich Island that day were not people seeking fame and reputation. They did whatever they wanted. They publicly admitted that if An Fei did not show up, the God of War would The Forbidden Demon Realm is enough to plunge the entire world into an abyss. Is it difficult for a saint to kill someone? The answer is clear, it is not difficult at all. Minos can fight against many peak experts on his own, and An Fei, who killed Minos, can naturally do the same.
While Mang Shu and Stan were talking, Yolande sat on the throne and looked at Chris Ding below with kind eyes. Chris Ding's face was full of bitterness and his brows were wrinkled.
"Speak, speak your mind." Yolande said softly.
Chris Ding took a long breath: "Father, it didn't take long to conquer the Shansha Empire and the Alison Empire. What the empire needs now is stability, and it only needs one voice! If...fate really chooses me, I will let the eldest brother and the second brother go to a place to retire."
"Retirement care? You mean house arrest, right?"
"Father, are you very dissatisfied with my answer?" Chris Ding smiled bitterly: "After all, we are brothers. I... They have always wanted to inherit the throne, but I defeated them. They will never be willing to accept it. , Their existence will make the country very unstable, and for the sake of the Mayo Empire, I must control them."
Yolande was silent.
"Father, can I leave?" Chris Ding suddenly showed a relaxed look on his face, regardless of the consequences. He has no guilt in his heart.
Yolande nodded, and then slowly leaned back on the chair. He looked a little tired. When Chris Ding's back disappeared at the door of the palace, the old man who was inseparable from Yolande quietly appeared behind Yolande.
A smile bloomed at the corner of Yolande's mouth, and then he laughed: "Do you still remember how Glendon answered just now?"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince said that he will work hard with His Highness the First and Third Highnesses to govern the Mayo Empire prosperously." In fact, Chris Ding was right, an empire only needs one voice! "
"Your Majesty, I think... His Highness the Second Prince is trying to please you." The old man said with a smile.
"I gave birth to him and raised him. It is also possible for him to become the supreme king! He can also lie in front of me, so who can he remain sincere in front of me?" Yolande said calmly: " If what Glendon said is true, it is not advisable, and if what he is telling lies, it is even more undesirable!"
"Your Majesty, this is just a white lie. Your Highness is also afraid of making you sad."
"Sad..." Yolander shook his head slightly: "How old was Glendon when he first sent flowers to Niya?"
"About fourteen years old, you were still laughing for a long time." The old man said with a smile.
"Do you think a fourteen-year-old knows love?"
"This...you shouldn't understand."
"Is Chris Ding stupid?"
"How could he... be stupid!" The old man didn't understand the hidden meaning of Julande's words. He asked in shock.
"Then tell me, does Chris Ding understand? What benefits will it bring to him if he marries Niya?"
"Of course I understand." The old man whispered.
"But Chris Ding has done nothing, and has never done anything!" Yolande said slowly: "He used to learn magic from Thor and spent time with Niya day and night. His chances are much greater than Glendon. , the reason why he didn’t do anything, and didn’t even deliberately cause trouble for Grandon, was not because he couldn’t see the pros and cons, but because he didn’t want to take advantage of anyone.”
"Also, did you notice Chris Ding's expression when he left? He was very relaxed." Yolander paused. He continued: "He showed his thoughts in front of me without any concealment. It is up to me to decide whether he is qualified to be the successor, instead of using some hypocritical kindness and justice to win my favor. Haha... Hewei Compared with Ste and Glendon, I appreciate Chris Ding’s sincerity more!”
The old man sighed softly. He already understood what Yolander was thinking. In fact, this is the best result. Compared with West and Glendon, Chris Ding's wings are the fullest and he can aspire to the championship. The throne can be divided into one party. If you choose someone else, it is very likely to cause a bloody storm! As for removing obstacles for one's own heir, it is easier said than done. Alice cannot be replaced, otherwise the eight provinces of Shansha will immediately fall into chaos, and the free provinces are firmly controlled by the Grand Alliance mercenary group. The most terrifying thing is that An Fei doesn’t know where to hide. If he really wants to do it, What, the anger of a saint is unimaginable. Even if West or Glendon become kings, then they will live in fear of not knowing when it will come all their lives. Is this good for them or harming them? them
