Magus was not idle when Du Lin and the girl went out for a date in the afternoon. He chatted with some old friends about Du Lin.
"Are you sure you can make him move in the direction you want?" Barr, who was sitting on an art sofa, yawned. The sudden fatigue made him a little sleepy, and then he explained a little and complained about himself. His private time was interrupted, "Usually I should be taking a nap at this time..."
Mags smiled and said nothing. He and Barr have been old friends for many years. They have known each other since they were only more than ten years old. They have maintained a good relationship over the years, which is a very rare thing.
Friendships between nobles never have a shelf life. Two families that have been together for several generations may choose to go to war because of some distribution of interests. It is also possible that two families that have been hostile for a long time become new partners because of some aspects of incompatibility. . There are very few nobles who can maintain their friendship for decades like Mags and Baal.
Interest is the main theme in aristocratic society, friendship is not.
There were two other people in the room, one in his fifties and one in his sixties. They were both Magus's peers and basically nobles born in the same era. They all looked at him at this time. Mags.
Introducing Du Lin into the circle of nobles is something Maggs has been working hard on. Although he is unwilling to admit it, it is undeniable that Du Lin is indeed very outstanding as a young man. The key is that he does not have any resources in the first place. He is a real Starting from scratch. Regardless of whether he used honorable means in this process, at least he is up now. If he had been given more resources at the beginning, would he have done better
This is obvious, Dulin is a young man who is very good at seizing opportunities and taking advantage of them.
On top of these foundations, he also has this huge ambition as the driving force for his progress.
As early as seven or eight months ago, after Dulin rejected Magus's proposal to introduce him to the aristocratic circle, Magus's first thought was to find Dulin's fatal weakness and then hang him on the execution platform. . Once the current group of leaders in the empire who are able to control the situation and the politicians who are truly loyal to the empire grow old and die, not many of the new generation of successors will be able to confront Dulin head-on.
Du Lin's climate has begun to take shape. If he is allowed to continue to develop for twenty or thirty years, when they all die of old age, those people may not be able to suppress Du Lin's ambitions.
The reason why he dare not move now is that he actually knows it very well. He is still too young and weak to face this empire. Showing his ambitions and desires indiscriminately will only make him leave early.
But when he becomes stronger, when he is in his forties or fifties, and has more powerful and unshakable power, he may really be able to do things that shock the world, whether it is silently destroying the empire. It is possible to become a toy in his palm, or to gain power through more crude means.
So Magers made a plan at that time to take down Dulin when the general election began and not give him a chance to stand up. He would not leave a huge hidden danger to the successor of the empire, and then create some stupid plan like leaving the problem to future generations to solve and test their qualifications to test whether the successor is really qualified. This is not a qualified politician. Things that should be done.
Any danger should be nipped in the bud that can be controlled. Leaving trouble to future generations is actually an indescribable behavior. It is like having an enemy, both of whom have knives in their hands, fearing that they will When he was injured, he told his son that I left an old enemy for you.
Magus's evaluation of Dulin is very pertinent. If this bastard is willing to play according to the rules of the game, he will become a leader in the new generation. As long as he is dedicated to the prosperity of the empire, he may not be able to hold the scepter one day in the future. . But if this bastard is doing everything for his own selfish desires, then let him go to hell!
Dulin's timely changes were also unexpected by Maggs. He thought that Dulin would realize the problems only when the general election was approaching. Unexpectedly, he discovered these problems at least a year in advance and then changed position.
This also shows how good Dulin is. He has a very keen sense of danger.
At this time, Magus was discussing with several old friends here about whether to bring Du Lin into the aristocratic circle. If they did not agree, Du Lin's plan would be over. Only if they all agreed, Du Lin could Really cross that threshold.
He thought for a while and then said, "It shouldn't be a problem for me to live for another ten years. As long as Dulin does not do anything harmful to the interests of the empire in these ten years, he will be assimilated by us soon. Of course, in We also need to make some changes in policy to make him recognize us.”
"There are not many young people in this group who can surpass Dulin in political and personal abilities. We also need to consider another situation. Without Dulin's existence, will our successors be able to ensure the empire like us?" To ensure the security of the current system?”
Mags’s words are indeed very meaningful. The Yaoxing Empire has too many outstanding representative figures of their generation. It is precisely because of their existence that the Yaoxing Empire’s national power continues to increase and its international status continues to grow. raise. Once this group of rulers, who can be said to be the most elite in one or two hundred years, die and their successors are not good enough and cannot even defend the city, what will happen to the empire
We cannot remain optimistic about the future just because of the current situation. The international situation is constantly changing. Today, everyone must maintain a respectful attitude toward the empire. Tomorrow, someone may stand up and want to challenge the empire's authority.
In addition, there is a federation around them. These small and stubborn businessmen are determined to destroy our empire. Once they find an opportunity, there is absolutely no chance that they will show mercy. At that time, the empire will not have three or five people who are powerful enough to suppress the situation, and the situation will become very dangerous.
They have been famous all their lives, and they must leave a guarantee for future generations and the future.
Of course, this does not mean that it would be impossible without Du Lin. In the past so many years, wouldn’t every period have been the same without Du Lin? But people always want to pursue the best, and Du Lin is a person with great potential. . No one can ignore his development process from scratch to something in just ten years. When he came to the city from the countryside, he was only a half-year-old boy. Now he has developed to the pinnacle of personal power. If such a person gives him a greater On the stage, he will definitely be able to achieve greater achievements.
Barr said something very disappointing at this time, "What if you die?"
Magus burst into laughter, "No one can take care of this country and those young successors forever. Even God will die, let alone us. As for what the world will look like after we die, in fact, it has nothing to do with us. It’s too big. We gave them the best foundation, but they can’t grasp it. Even if the country is destroyed one day, they deserve it.”
What about the Guart dynasty, which was so powerful that the whole world trembled? The former king led the ten heroes to sweep across the entire northern continent under the brilliance of the gods. No one can withstand the edge of the Guart people. Countless temples will be burned down, and countless aliens will be enslaved. The former king and the ten heroes will fight for the Guart people. The dynasty has made the best start. They have tried their best, but what can their successors do if they don't work hard
Just like the Ogdin people, they had a nightmare start, but they won, they gained freedom from the Guarts, and then almost unified the entire continent step by step, of course the Ogdin people are in the history books It unified the entire continent. All the effects, including the alliance at that time, expressed their surrender, and some small countries even accepted the canonization of the royal family.
But now, so what
"Times will always move forward and there will be no turning back. We can only do our best now. As for the future, that is their business!"
After the other three thought for a long time, they gave an agreed answer. Dulin was indeed the most potential but also the most dangerous young man. Mags was confident that he could turn him around and turn him from a dangerous person to the empire. If they become the ones who risk protecting the empire in the future, then they don't need to dwell on this issue.
Whether Maggs can do it or not, whether Dulin is suitable and how to test the final results is a matter for those in the future. They left behind the strongest shields, but if these people turned the shields into the sharpest spears to kill themselves, it would not be their fault.
There is nothing in this world that does not involve risks and at the same time has huge benefits. It has never been done before.
With this foundation, Dulin passed an invisible "examination". Perhaps he had some guesses and chose Mags as a breakthrough point.
In fact, it sounds like a farce. The official propaganda of the empire is that the fate of the country is in the hands of every citizen, but sometimes the truth is always so unexpected. The fate of the empire is always in the hands of a very small number of people. , how can something like power be grasped by ignorant civilians
When Mags returned home in the evening, Du Lin had been waiting for him for a while. Du Lin was chatting with Mags' wife about cooking experiences. It was obvious that Mags' wife was very attentive and even held a A small notebook records some top-secret formulas that Dulin mentioned, and it seems that he plans to use these things in practice.
He glanced at Du Lin with a headache. Who knows if his wife would use those unreliable things to make some terrible food for him to eat. He loved his wife very much, so it was almost impossible to refuse to taste the carefully prepared food. The little snacks were an absolute disaster!
He coughed lightly, "Follow me, let's chat for a while.", and then quickly walked to the study.
Did the little monk look back
