In fact, there are still some issues that Maggs did not explain clearly, which involve conflicts and differences within the royal family at that time.
A series of "failures" were ultimately blamed on the royal family. The royal family encountered an unprecedented crisis of trust. People in some areas expressed their demands through marches and rallies to demand that the emperor step down and that the royal family withdraw from the core of imperial power.
In this social environment that is completely opposed to the royal family, the royal family can be said to be in great crisis.
His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of giving up the power in his hands. He also controls three of the empire's most elite legions and can maintain his power in a short period of time.
However, the eldest prince has discovered that the cost of doing this is that the nobles will divide the place and the heroes will join forces. In the end, the fate of the royal family may be even worse than it is now. Therefore, His Highness the eldest prince directly launched a rebellion limited to the palace, which can also be said to be his own. Not wanting to usurp the throne as the emperor, he strangled the emperor's most loyal guards and then opened the palace gate and welcomed the noble group led by Magus.
Under such circumstances, His Majesty the Emperor held the ceremonial sword he usually used to ennoble nobles around his neck. His face was pale and he reluctantly handed over the power. From then on, he became a mascot that could only give birth to children.
The eldest prince joined the real circle and became a "wise" monarch in the eyes of a few people.
It is a pity that the eldest prince thought that he could become a shadow emperor and continue to control the empire. However, after the royal family withdrew from the core of power, its influence declined sharply. In addition, as a member of the royal family, he could not publicly participate in elections. Even if he participated, Even if you win, you won't get people's votes, and you will eventually have less and less power in your hands. .
He who was still dreaming before was soon slapped a few times by reality. Mags, who holds great power, gradually gained support from more people and became the leader. Although he was a little unhappy, there was nothing he could do.
He may have done a stupid thing, and as a prince he caused the decline of the royal family, but he did a good thing for the empire.
Of course, there are actually many secrets besides this matter that Maggs has not told and will never tell in this life, such as his relationship with the Queen.
When faced with what the old man said, Dulin never thought that this old man would have such a legendary career. At the same time, he also guessed, if this is the real history, then what kind of character did Maggs play? Role
With his ability and intelligence, could he have guessed that his influence and power could surpass the royal family? There is even a possibility that he planned all of this, including the turmoil among the northern nobles.
In this way, using a method recognized by everyone, he peacefully usurped power that did not belong to him and could never belong to him without using force.
This is a real old silver coin - the currency in circulation before the empire was mostly copper coins and silver coins. The silver coins were originally white and shiny, but as they changed hands more times, they would gradually show a hint of black in the white, which is even more wonderful. People turn a blind eye to these black things and are still blinded by the reflection of silver coins in the sun. Therefore, people use old silver coins to describe some people or things that are smooth on the surface but dark on the inside.
The above is all nonsense... It's not true. This is an ancient vocabulary full of wisdom in the Northern Continent. It vividly and vividly summarizes more content in short sentences and is widely circulated.
Du Lin tilted his head and smiled, "What else should I do?"
"First you have to have a child!"
For Magus or Timamont or the entire aristocratic class, although Dulin has become one of their own, his bloodline and origin are still a problem.
However, there is no such problem with his and Ophelia's children. His children have the blood of the Timamont family flowing in them, and they are nobles from birth, and have the power to inherit the Dulin and Timamont families.
As long as the relationship between Dulin and the Timamont family does not break down, this child will eventually become a terrible monster - he or she will have all the power, influence and wealth of the Dulin and Timamont families in their hands at the same time. This is a marriage. the essence of.
Du Lin listened carefully and replied, "I will work hard and try to do it as soon as possible."
Magus just smiled at Dulin's somewhat silly little joke with a serious expression, "Let's talk about other things. Do you have new ideas this time?"
In fact, Magus also guessed Du Lin's sudden visit. If this little bastard had nothing to do, he would definitely not come here to have a meal. He must have something to say to himself.
This is the benefit of communication between smart people. You can understand each other's thoughts without being too confessional.
Du Lin adjusted his sitting position and lit a cigarette. Recently, he had become a bit more addicted to smoking.
Fortunately, cigarettes in this world do not produce any harmful substances, so for a while some people still believed that smoking was good for health.
"After contacting Schnoder, I found him very interesting, cautious, sensitive, careful, full of desire and bold." He raised his hand, "Some seemingly contradictory words are concentrated on him. , but they can exist at the same time, so I had an idea.”
“I wanted him to be the governor of Ambiro State and I jumped into the new party committee and I felt that the role of deputy chairperson would be a good fit for me for the next four years.”
Mags thought for a moment, "What about the method?"
Just as Du Lin had considered before, any high-level position that wants to be vacated means a lot of transactions and compromises. It is impossible for anyone to willingly give up his position to Du Lin. There must be a series of transaction.
Dulin happened to be well prepared, "Mr. Powers's body is not suitable for him to continue to hold this position. He will resign after completing this term, maybe a little earlier."
"I have noticed that the chairman of the New Party Committee has been in that position for more than ten years. His contribution and merits to the New Party do not need to be described one by one. You should have a strong feeling that for such an old man, maybe we should let him be promoted. one liter."
"I'm not very familiar with Ms. Dolly and the other vice-chairman Li Geman, and I have very little contact with them. Maybe one of them is willing to move his buttocks and change positions."
"This will free up a spot for me!"
Maggs had been observing Dulin. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "You plan to run for prime minister!"
This sentence was said with great certainty, as if he could ensure that his guess was completely correct.
Du Lin looked at him, and he looked at Du Lin. After a while, Du Lin nodded, "If possible, I want to get into the role as soon as possible."
There was a smile on Mags's serious face, "You can give it a try, but I guarantee you will not succeed. If you want to run for the next prime minister, I will fully support you, but this time, you can only Fight on your own."
There was a knock on the door, and Ophelia asked them to go to the restaurant. Dulin stood up and glanced at Mags. His condescending eyes were full of teasing, eagerness, and rationality. With a hint of madness, he adjusted his clothes and said, "If you don't give it a try, who will know?"
