If it were just a miscellaneous rebel army created by Thomas Heihe, the empire wouldn't have to worry too much at all. Everyone knew that the fighting power of farmers was not terrible at all. But the problem was that with the participation of nobles, the matter was different. Nobles
The troops under his command are real troops, and they are really capable of fighting. What's more, there are actually quite a few nobles supporting Thomas Heihe this time.
"I have already seen that the nobles who support Thomas Heihe are basically the remnants of the three previous dukes." Princess Yalan also directly explained the situation of these participating nobles.
The three dukes that Yalan was talking about were naturally the Duke of Rennes, the Duke of Minotier, and the Duke of Norbury. These three dukes have now died, and this matter is more or less related to the Merloway family.
It has something to do with it. The Duke of Noble and the Duke of Rennes were directly killed by the Meloway family, and Duke Minotier also played against Garsain on the battlefield after the rebellion.
Now these three dukes have obviously fallen, but they were the great dukes in the empire before, and their influence is so complex that it almost covers the entire country. Many families have connections with them, whether it is marriage or business.
Cooperation, or direct alliance, etc., and their downfall will undoubtedly cause these families to suffer losses.
Because of this, in fact, a large number of families in the empire have conflicts with the Meloway family, but now that the Meloway family has really grown, there is no particularly good way or opportunity for them to take action. However, now this opportunity is
Appeared. The appearance of the illegitimate son Thomas Heihe gave them hope. Of course, they didn't know whether this Thomas Heihe was the illegitimate son of Emperor Wigley. Regardless of whether he was, it was better to help him rise to power than to wait for Mero Wei.
It would be better if the family members control the entire court.
All in all, the uprising has deteriorated rapidly in the past few days. It can no longer be called an uprising, but a real power struggle. In the past few days, nobles have continuously announced their support for Thomas Heihe.
, this suddenly caused the entire empire to split.
Yes, of course there are many nobles who support the Meloway family. In fact, the current foundation of the Meloway family is not as shallow as most people think. Garsain has indeed done a lot of things during these times, and some
Many nobles have established quite good relations with the Merloway family. Now some people in the empire support the Merloway family, and some people support Thomas Heihe. The entire country's nobles, large and small, have begun to take sides and have split into two.
Of course, the situation turned from chaos to confrontation, and the situation became particularly tense for a while.
The fight has not started yet, but the current confrontation seems to be just the trigger. Of course, the situation of Princess Yalan and Princess Fulla these days is also quite bad, and it can be said that they have become the target of public criticism.
First of all, the strange situation at present is that the two of them have not yet ascended the throne. Yes, Linton was also surprised when he heard this. Emperor Wigley has been dead for more than ten days. A country cannot live without a king for a day. Then
After he dies, why don't you two quickly find someone to take the throne? As a result, there is still a window of opportunity until now.
Linton asked about it and found that Yalan also had a headache now. Didn't Thomas Heihe just say that he murdered Wigley in order to become the emperor? Now that Yalan is on the throne, does that mean he has acquiesced in this matter?
Do you think you want to be the emperor? Doesn’t it mean that you ascended the throne as soon as Wigley died? Of course Yalan doesn’t want to admit this, and of course she was not the one who murdered Wigley. How is this possible? If she ascends the throne, how can she say that?
is that clear?
Princess Fulla is actually in a similar situation. Her relationship with the Meloway family is basically obvious now, and everyone knows it. Then if she ascends the throne, the other party can change their name, etc., and it will be the same.
But Princess Fula herself is not interested in the throne anymore than Yalan, so it is not like ascending the throne at all. The result is what Linton sees now, Thomas Heihe is shouting very happily, but here
It hasn't even been decided who will take the throne.
"What a headache. Can you have some political common sense? The other side claims to be the emperor. If you don't create an emperor to counter the other side, you won't even have the righteousness to attack them." Linton said, holding his forehead.
The normal approach at this time is to quickly ascend the throne, then declare the other party to be a traitor or something, and then send troops to attack him. If you don't ascend the throne now, wouldn't you be acquiescing to the other party's emperor status? Doesn't this make the other party more unscrupulous. But Yalan
It's not that she didn't even think of this, but the problem is...she can't get over it emotionally.
She really doesn't want people to think that she is a parricide beast, even if it is framed, but to be honest, once she really takes the throne, it is really not easy to make this matter clear. With the current public opinion situation, everyone thinks
She was the one who did it now, and now that she has ascended the throne, it is simply adding fuel to the fire. Yalan said that if she was really involved in this matter, she would not know how to behave in the future.
"I'm a little surprised, why doesn't anyone think that Thomas Heihe killed Wigley?" Linton asked, "There is also the possibility that he could have done it. The most suspicious thing is that Wigley wanted to recruit him before.
When the palace confronted him about this matter, the other party did not come, so his identity was very doubtful, and Wigley was assassinated on the way to see him, so that did not prove that the other party was Wigley's child.
Isn't it possible that the other party was not Wigley's child, and he wanted to hide the matter, so he killed Wigley before he arrived? Why doesn't anyone doubt this?"
"Of course there are, but they are all from our side." Princess Yalan said.
Linton also understood that the current public opinion is mainly suspicious of Princess Yalan. It's not that there is no possibility of what he said, it's just that not many people think about it. And the nobles who support Thomas Heihe don't care about each other at all.
Whether they are really illegitimate or not, they just want to take advantage of the situation, so of course they will not clarify these matters. And in terms of public opinion, the other party obviously controls much more than they do.
Yes, from the beginning of this matter, the other party has controlled the direction of public opinion. Linton even saw some modern ways of operating public opinion. Thomas Heihe was completely fired up by himself. Linton did not think that the other party had this ability.
, there may be powerful people who helped him carry out this series of plans from the beginning.
The matter is almost understood. Now it’s a question of how to deal with it. This matter is still quite serious. Once Thomas Heihe really ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the Merloway family will definitely kill the whole family, Princess Yalan and the others.
It is estimated that parricide will be charged soon, so Linton can make this happen.
The more troublesome part of this matter is in terms of public opinion. Yes, now Linton rushes over and kills Thomas. Heihe is too easy. Linton doesn’t know how many troops the opponent has, but it doesn’t matter at all. Linton
I feel that if I want to kill him, no matter how many people there are, they can't stop me.
If Linton himself became the emperor, Linton said that he would definitely do that, and I would proclaim him the emperor immediately. Then he said that the other party was fake and that the people who supported him were all traitors, and then he flew over and hacked them to death.
Others can do whatever they like and think whatever they like, but Linton doesn't want to be the emperor. This will cause trouble for himself. How can he have time to do this?
Originally, it would be best if Yalan ascended the throne, as it would be more convenient to do things. Although Princess Fula was not their most personal person yet, Linton felt that it didn't matter, so he asked her and Yalan to discuss and find someone.
Forget about ascending the throne. But now, Linton rushed over and beheaded the person. It was really difficult to be a human being after Yalan. Linton didn't believe that he had beheaded Thomas. Heihe, the agent, and the forces behind him were
After the meeting is over, there will definitely be a lot of follow-up, which will probably drive this "good boy" Yalan crazy.
Yalan is his own woman, and Linton must let her live happily, so Linton will definitely not do this in this matter. Since the other party wants to engage in a public opinion war, Linton said that he would just play with you,
I am a person in the information age. What kind of powerful operation has I never seen before? Is it still possible for you to play it?
Since you want to play with public opinion, the first thing to control is naturally the platform that dominates public opinion. In the information age, what dominates this is the Internet. Everyone gets information from the Internet. Of course, there is definitely no such thing as the Internet in this world. Then this
What is the world's public opinion platform? The answer is people. Yes, the information in this world is transmitted from mouth to mouth, so if you need to control public opinion, you need an organization.
If you can control a huge organization spread across the entire continent, you can control public opinion. This is much more troublesome than in the information age. There are no such things as convenient forums and bars for publishing information, so it is difficult to implement this.
It's easy. It's impossible for Linton to create such an organization now.
Of course, it is even more nonsense to start a newspaper and engage in media now, because there is no time to do this. Of course, you can try it later. After Yalan ascends the throne, you can do some things in this area to control domestic public opinion, and save it later.
If something like this happens, it is definitely not possible now.
So what should we do now? Of course, there is still a way. Linton thought of an organization that could help immediately. The name of this organization is called the Church of Light. Yes, the omnipotent Church of Light is once again targeted by Linton.
Now, how should I put it, these guys are really useful. After a little calculation, Linton started his plan.
