Linton's words made the three people in front of him look at him again in bewilderment. Can they still... play like this? The one who reacted particularly strongly was Gasein. At first, he thought Linton meant to attack the eldest princess.
And so on, but it turned out that he was still the target.
"No, can you say something humane?" Gasein couldn't help but said.
"What I said is very human. After all, you are not married to her..."
"Is she married?" Gasan shouted.
"You don't have to marry me..." Linton said, spreading his hands.
"It's not a question of whether it's okay or not, but whether it's okay to be married already?" Gassen said.
"That's what you said, so it's just disgusting." Linton said.
"I didn't!" Garsain said immediately.
"So it's agreed?" Linton asked.
"No..." Garsain was surrounded by Linton.
"Um... you want to be the emperor?" Princess Yalan suddenly intervened and asked. Princess Yalan felt a little strange. Linton didn't seem to want to be the emperor. The Duke of Rennes had a coup d'etat before.
At that time, Linton actually had the opportunity to become the emperor, or to control the emperor, but Linton did not do that. Now it seemed that he suddenly had this intention, which she felt was a bit sudden.
"I don't want to be the emperor, but if the emperor is one of his own, it will be more convenient to do some things." Linton said. Indeed, Linton has changed some of his ideas now, partly for his own considerations. First of all, of course, it is about his own tasks.
, after Gasain became the Duke, Linton tried it and it was indeed much more convenient when doing construction tasks. This is one aspect, and another aspect, such as propaganda and other tasks, he has absolute political power.
It will be a lot more convenient after [finishing the loan].
I will definitely have many tasks in this area in the future. In the best case scenario, if my wife or even Garsain can become the emperor, then the efficiency of doing things will definitely be much higher than if my father-in-law becomes the emperor.
As for why I didn’t do that before, it was a matter of time and again. The main reason is that the Merrowy family did not have the status of duke before. They were awarded the title of duke after resolving the rebellion in Rennes. Then the previous status really controlled the emperor.
There are a lot of people coveting it. If you, a small noble, can control the emperor, then they can do it too. If this is what you do at that time, most of your energy will probably be diverted to countering the rebellion and fighting the rebellion.
Now that the internal control is up, is there still time for any construction?
And now, although only a few months have passed, the Meloway family is completely different. With the status of a duke and a wealthy fiefdom, Gasein has gained a firm foothold in the army, and they have also established relationships with the royal family.
Marriage, so no matter how you look at it, the current Meloway family is qualified to aspire to the throne.
What's more, at that time, Linton didn't know that there was such a task as module promotion. He just thought that if he was engaged in construction, it would be enough to have a few cities under his control. But it is different now. Influence has now become a more important resource.
, Linton can't rely on the Light Church for help every time. Although he has a good relationship with the church now, he is just lying to them after all. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help from others. Of course, the best way is to do it yourself.
What makes Linton dissatisfied with the current emperor Wigley is that he is not so easy to control. Linton is too lazy to spend time fighting for power with his father-in-law. On the other hand, this guy is too cowardly.
Linton's goal is to expand his influence. The influence of the Yilan Holy Empire alone cannot satisfy his appetite. However, the emperor now has such a huge advantage and has to hesitate for a long time to declare war. Want to let him
It would be too difficult to expand the territory and expand the influence of the Holy Empire of Elan.
In short, after careful consideration, Linton thought it would be better to try to replace one of his own, but what he proposed before was just an idea. After all, he didn't really want to be the emperor, and he didn't have time to govern the country. This was not to encourage Gasein.
As for the rebellion, I thought about pushing him up before. But I didn't expect that things have changed a bit now. The sudden accident of the Crown Prince made Linton and the others seem to have a more formal way to get to the top. Now that they have reached this point, there is an opportunity.
Feeling that everything was thrown in front of him, Linton's attitude naturally changed from "try it" to "get it".
"But..." After hearing Linton's words, Princess Yalan here naturally showed an embarrassed expression. It was indeed embarrassing. The current emperor is his father, and she just said that it was her husband who wanted to rebel. Can she not be embarrassed?
?
"The current situation is not a question of whether we want to stop or not." Linton said, "Since I married Yalan, our Meloway family has automatically been labeled as the third princess, which means that we have automatically become the third princess."
Come on, if we don’t consider this, won’t they also consider the forces behind Princess Fulla?”
Gasain became serious when he said this. Yes, since he became a duke, his political quality has become better and better, so he immediately understood what Linton meant. After all, Princess Fulla is also
If you are married to someone, and that person is very likely to become the next queen, then her husband's family will naturally think the same way as they do. Once she really ascends the throne, her husband's family will become a foreign relative.
The political struggle is very cruel. As another candidate for the throne, if the third princess Yalan fails in the struggle, then the Melowei family who is on the side of the third princess will be in danger. Even if the eldest princess does not want to take action, she
What about the husband's family? Even if the other party really doesn't take action, the Meloway family will have to keep their tail between their legs from now on.
Of course, Garsain cannot accept this result. His loyalty to the family is much higher than that of Linton. For the development of the family, he did not easily agree to marry a Narcisse family member whom he had never met before.
A woman? So after Linton's prompting, he finally understood that Linton and Yalan's marriage had automatically brought them into the game, and now it was not a question of whether to care or not.
"But..." Yalan wanted to say something else, but before she could speak, Princess Fula next to her interrupted her directly.
"Don't say anything." Princess Fulla said seriously, "This matter really needs to be considered in advance."
"Oh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, seeing that Princess Fulla was supporting him?
"The eldest sister's husband's family is the Noble family. As far as I know, the Duke of Noble has always had this ambition." Princess Furla said, "Linton is right. Even if the eldest sister doesn't think so, but Noble
The Noble family must be making preparations now, and they will not give up such an opportunity. I even suspect that... the Noble family is responsible for the big brother's matter."
Jorah's suspicion is of course normal. In the current situation, if something happens to the crown prince, the two princesses who benefit the most are naturally Fula and Yalan. Originally, they had nothing to do with the throne, but now they suddenly become the heirs. Can they not
Does it make people suspicious? And Furla also knew that her eldest brother Damian was a good horseman. Suddenly he fell off his horse, which sounded strange. Now she really suspected that it was Duke Norbury who did it.
"Huh?" Princess Yalan here was stunned.
Now that Princess Fulla's husband's family has been talked about, Linton also asked about the situation of the Noble family. The Noble family is a big family in the Holy Empire of Yilan, and it can also be said to be the leader in politics.
In addition to the royal family, it is the second largest family.
Duke Nobley was one of the four dukes in the empire before, and he was also a duke married to the royal family. Duke Nobley's eldest son is the husband of the eldest princess Furla. Even among the dukes, Duke Nobley's status is
They are all different from the other three dukes.
"You may not know that when the eldest sister married into the Noble family, it was actually a way of compromise." Princess Jorah said.
"Compromise?" Princess Ya'an really didn't know about this and asked strangely.
Princess Jorah immediately continued to explain. The time was about thirteen years ago, when Princess Jorah was six years old. At that time, Princess Jorah and the eldest princess Fulla were very good sisters. Princess Arran stuck to Jorah all day long.
Jorah, on the other hand, clung to Princess Fulla all day long. However, one day, Princess Fulla suddenly cried and said goodbye to Jorah, saying that she was getting married. At that time, Princess Jorah did not know what had happened, but she just remembered crying.
She was just very sad, but as she grew a little older, she inquired about what happened at that time and learned about the situation.
It turned out that Emperor Wigley had not been on the throne for long, and although he was the emperor of the empire, his position was not stable. Several dukes in the empire at that time jointly put pressure on the new emperor, probably because they wanted the new emperor to guarantee their status.
Emperor Wigley had to appease several dukes, so he entered into a marriage alliance with Duke Norbury and married off Princess Fulla, who was only 10 years old at the time.
The emperor's choice to marry the princess was actually very obvious, which was to keep Duke Norbury's eldest son in the imperial capital legally. Because the princess was not allowed to marry far away, after the two got married, Duke Norbury's son could only live with the duke in the imperial capital.
In the palace, this is equivalent to detaining the duke's legitimate son in the imperial capital, which is a good thing for both parties. It can also be seen from this that Duke Norbury is indeed a threat, otherwise the emperor would not choose
This is a way to stabilize the opponent.
And the reason why Princess Jorah now suspects that Duke Nobre is responsible for Damian's matter is because she analyzed it after hearing about the current situation in the empire from Garsain last night. In Princess Jorah's opinion, the current situation in the empire
The situation has changed a lot, and Duke Norbury probably started to take risks because he felt threatened.
