Chapter 250 [Prince of Foodie] (Two in One)!

(Two in one, seven thousand words chapters!)

After hearing this, Chen Daolin was a little puzzled: What's wrong with women? Anyway, women also have inheritance rights in the Roland Empire. If the empire can have a queen, can't the Tulip family have a duke?

But then he thought for a while and finally understood.

For top empires like the Tulip Family, in order to maintain a strong position in the empire, in addition to relying on the reputation of their ancestors, they must also have some traditional powers of their own family.

The traditional inheritance method of the Tulip family is that every duke, after inheriting the title, will serve in the empire, and will go through it all from internal affairs to military affairs.

For example, Du Weiwei's father basically grew up to join the army first, and was promoted to the level of general in the army, and then slowly faded out of the front-line combat army, entered the Imperial Army, became the previous military minister, and then transferred to the internal affairs, or the Ministry of Government, or the Ministry of Finance. In short, the army was to transform into people's livelihood, and finally became the previous prime minister, even if he had achieved success.

In this process, on the one hand, we have developed the ability to govern, both the military and civil affairs, and have sufficient experience. More importantly, we can cultivate a team of our own confidants to be united in the political arena, and have a towering tree.

But in Du Weiwei's generation, even as a woman, she could inherit the throne of duke according to imperial laws, but she had a weakness that she could not jump out of nowhere!

Military power!

In the real world, great men such as Mao Taizu once said: Power comes from the barrel of a gun!

For top wealthy families in the empire like the Tulip Family, if there is no military power in the family's strength structure, it will not be stable at all.

If a man is a man, he can naturally join the army and enter the army. Then he will slowly be promoted to the top level according to the steps of family training, and finally directly take charge of an imperial front-line army. Even if he enters the top level in the future, he will become a military minister or even be a civil servant, but because of his experience of commanding the front-line army, he can ensure that he has influence and prestige in the army. At least he will retain a group of backbone generals in the army.

In fact, the previous generations of Tulip Dukes did this.

Although the Tulip family also has its own private army, and it is recognized that the private army of the Tulip family is very elite. However, as early as after the Duwei era, the Tulip family took the initiative to reduce the scale of its own private army in order to maintain the long-term wealth of the family. After all, as a minister, if you don’t want to covet the throne, don’t keep such a powerful army, so as not to sleep at night.

Therefore, after a hundred years, although the Tulips' private army is still known for its elite and well-equipped, its scale has been much smaller than that of the Duwei era, and only more than 10,000 private army has been retained.

Compared with the Du Wei era, a family of Tulips can bring out a legion to the front line to fight the orcs to the scale of a decisive battle. Today's Tulip Furniture Army can only defend the northwestern border of the empire, guard the border for the empire, and monitor the alien races on the grassland.

In order to ensure the family's "muscle strength", generations of dukes have had experience in ranks.

Du Weiwei's father was the head of the Storm Legion on the Kaspersky Defense Line. Now, Luo Xiaogou and Fatty Kaman and others' fathers were all under Du Weiwei's father. They have always served in the army and maintained the influence and prestige of the Tulip family in the army.

But by Du Weiwei's generation, this will become a fatal flaw for her.

As a woman, she can be a queen or a duke, but... it is difficult to join the army!

Looking at the history of the empire, it is not without female generals. It is just the only exception. In the founding era of the Roland Empire, there was a female knight under the command of the founding emperor who fought on the battlefield, but he did not have a resume leading the war of the large corps. He was just the leader of His Majesty's personal guard Knights, which was very small in scale. (It was just equivalent to a captain of a special war brigade)

For a duchess like Du Weiwei, it is the fate of a family. If she is asked to be the captain of a special brigade, she will not be able to maintain the family's wide influence in the army.

The army, especially the front-line combat army, has never had a tradition of women. This is true whether in the Roland world or in the real world where Chen Daolin is.

As a woman, Du Weiwei faces a problem in her generation, and her resume will inevitably have a vacant military career.

This may not be seen at the beginning. After all, the old subordinates and direct descendants left by his father's generation are still in power, but later on, this problem will become more and more prominent.

After all, his father's subordinates are his father's old subordinates, not his own. Although these old ministers respect Du Weiwei's father very much, they may not be convinced by such a young girl. Moreover, as they grow older, after this generation gradually fades out of the army, Du Weiwei will face a problem: it is unlikely that she will have any direct influence in the army.

The lack of military merits and military power will become a flaw in this generation of tulip families.

And there is another big background here: by Du Weiwei's generation, the status of the Tulip family has actually been somewhat shaken.

The Dukes in succession finally retreated and disappeared inexplicably. Several generations of times did this, and the allies and subordinates who had already united around the Tulip Family began to have strange intentions. Du Weiwei's generation is facing a large-scale decline of military power. By that time... the Tulip Family, which seems to be a giant, will probably really face a huge crisis!

How many years can the status of the empire's number one wealthy family be maintained?! The Luo family has always been a die-hard ally of the Tulips family.!

But the so-called "blood-related brothers" are not real brothers after all. Even real brothers will inevitably part ways before facing the reality of huge interests, especially the fate of the family.

The Tulips family has already highlighted a huge crisis, so the Luolin family will naturally not hang themselves on a tree. It is natural to seek other ways out.

Even think about it further... With the blood relationship between the Luolin family and the Tulip family, once the Tulip family weakens, the Luolin family is almost the best candidate to replace the Tulip family's first wealthy family in the Tulip family empire!

"Now the empire is extremely optimistic about Aker. He is currently recognized as the most promising leader in the Mesozoic era. He is only in his forties. With the physical fitness of a martial arts master like him, he still has at least twenty years of career in his official career. Now he has become the backbone of the empire's number one ace army like Thunder Whip. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be the commander of the legion next year. At that time, he will become the commander of the legion and the rank of the above general will be the Minister of Military Affairs. In ten years, it is very likely to become the prime minister!

Speaking of which, the Luolin family must have a foundation, a family background, a foundation, and a military background. Once the Luolin family members become prime ministers and have the highest status, the rise of the Luolin family will no longer be stopped.

Compared with the Tulips, the Rollin family actually does not have many disadvantages.

Speaking of Du Wei's reputation, Du Wei himself was born into the Luolin family, and the Luolin family could completely rely on Du Wei's reputation. With blood closeness, many pro-tulip forces and groups would not oppose the Luolin family.

The Luolin family has an advantage that is incomparable to the Tulip family...

"What?"

Ross smiled slightly and slowly gave the answer:

“The population is prosperous!”

Perhaps the legendary hero Du Wei's life was too brilliant in his life, so he was punished by God and overdrawn the luck of his descendants. Therefore, the Tulip family after Du Wei's generations were all small.

According to records, Du Wei himself had two sons and two daughters. One of the sons was born with the queen, inherited the throne, and joined the royal family.

The remaining son inherited the title and was considered the second generation Duke of Tulip, and the other two daughters married out of the country, which was considered a side branch.

And the second, third and fourth generations of Tulip Dukes, and three consecutive generations, were actually single-handed!

Such a large family, but with a small population, makes people sigh.

According to some speculations, Du Wei once suffered a serious illness when he was young and almost died. It was probably because he lost his health in that serious illness. Later, Du Wei's two wives were both magicians.

Are people who are magicians? They deal with various magic potions all day long, and it is said that they are inevitably weak in their bodies. As a result, the offspring born are afraid that their ability in breeding is weaker than that of ordinary people.

Of course, these statements are naturally just folk gossip and may not be taken seriously.

"His Majesty the Emperor also seems to be happy to see the rise of the Luolin family. Because from the perspective of blood, the Luolin family and the royal family are also relatives." Ross smiled: "So, when he transferred Aker to the recognized 'royal army of Thunder Whip, everyone saw the emperor's intentions, but everyone didn't say it."

As he said that, Ross pointed to the guests around him in the distance and laughed in a low voice: "The top priority of the empire is to establish a crown prince! For this matter, the royal family, the important officials of all parties of the empire, and those

‘The real Augustine, and the church, are staring at it! The attitude of the Luolin family is crucial. Look at the people who have been trying to curry favor with General Aker tonight, just to find out some news from him. The Tulips have already put on an out-of-fact attitude, and the Luolin family's position may have affected the emperor's decision."

Chen Daolin looked at the guests around him, then looked at Aker who was standing with Carmen in the distance, and couldn't help but feel moved: "Then... this banquet was specially held to welcome General Aker?"

Ross was stunned, looked at Chen Daolin, and laughed and said, "You have come here, but you don't even know why this banquet was held tonight?"

Chen Daolin smiled bitterly, and he naturally didn't know. He was dragged out by Carmen in the afternoon. The cold woman didn't mention it at all, and he didn't have the chance to ask.

"Hahahaha!" Ross laughed happily: "You don't know! This is interesting! Let's wait and see, there will be a good show tonight!"

"Good show?" Chen Daolin looked at Rose curiously.

Rose's eyebrows were a little weird and he was about to speak...

Suddenly, I heard the sound of rituals and music outside the door of the banquet hall. Then the huge banquet hall door was slowly opened, and the neatly dressed waiters unfolded and bowed.

I heard the Sili Officer yell at the door:

"His Royal Highness, Hilo, the noble prince of the Empire, is here!"

boom!

The whole audience was noisy, and then it soon became quiet. Almost everyone stopped talking at the same time, put down the wine glass or food in their hands, and looked at the door.

And under the towering gate, a slender figure slowly walked into the sky.

This guy is about in his twenties and has a very handsome face. His skin is the pale white that the nobles yearn for the most. He looks slender and elegant, with long golden hair, a high nose bridge, and a pair of sapphire-like eyes, with clear eyes. He is really a rare beauty. He walks without being fast or slow, and has a faint aura. He looks like he has received extremely strict etiquette training since he was a child!!

Prince Hilo walked in slowly, with a smile on his face, and his smile looked very charming, his lips curled up slightly, and he smiled like a little lazy and leisurely, just like spring warms the earth, and he can't help but feel a bit warm.

He just walked into the hall slowly, and at this moment, he gave people an illusion, as if the light of the audience was concentrated on him alone! His body seemed to have a halo of attention!

Such a person with such outstanding appearance and temperament, after Chen Daolin came to Roland's world, he only saw one person tonight, the mysterious elf falling snow on the banks of Dayuan Lake.

Now, with the appearance of Prince Hilo, he is the top choice from his appearance to temperament, especially his heart-wrenching temperament, which makes Chen Daolin immediately think of the mysterious elf named Luo Xue!

It seems that such characters are born with a charm that is indescribable in words.

Chen Daolin was stunned for a few seconds, then whispered: "Who is this prince?"

Ross was stunned. He opened his mouth wide and glared at Chen Daolin: "He is Prince Hilo! How many princes do you think there are in the empire? His Majesty's younger brother today!"

His Majesty’s elder brother?

That...that...

That legendary...Foodie Prince?!!

Prince Hilo slowly walked into the banquet, and the audience became lively again after being silent. Many people with great identities took the initiative to come forward to greet the prince.

Chen Daolin and Ross stood at the dining table, looking at the prince surrounded by the crowd, and then he finally understood what Ross meant just now, "a good show"!

General Aker, who can influence the emperor's decision to become the crown prince, met Prince Hilo, the most popular heir to the throne... What attitude will Aker use?

Does his attitude also mean that it implies the emperor's own wishes?

I think it's not only Chen Daolin himself who speculated about this problem, but many people present would have such speculations.

Prince Hilo immediately became the biggest focus and most eye-catching star in the audience.

Earl Orgrimmar and other empires came forward to meet him, and some of the slightly inferior identities were also wandering around, trying to find an opportunity to come forward and talk to the prince.

Chen Daolin noticed from afar that Prince Hilo's words and deeds were very appropriate. He smiled calmly and treated every guest very well, without the power of a popular crown prince at all.

Even those who had a slightly lower status came forward to talk to him, and he looked unhappy at all.

Moreover, it must be said that his modesty does not seem to be the kind of pretending to behave, nor does it seem to be the kind of superficial politeness that a leader makes when inspecting the place.

You should know that many times, the superiors will deliberately act kindly, but this kind of "politeness" still exudes the kind of "politeness" that the generous master treats the slave, which makes people uncomfortable.

However, the affinity shown by this person seems to be an innate charm, and every word and action seems to make people unable to help but convince him.
