Because, he does stand on the side of truth, but he will mix some personal things into the "reason" when others are not prepared.
Aigron has always been a calm and pragmatic realist, so even though he was furious just now, after careful consideration, he had to nod slightly.
"That's true. I will consider how to win people's hearts. However, there are enough troubles surrounding us now. It is not too late to talk about this in the future."
Seeing Aigron nodding, Edgar suddenly felt elated.
In his opinion, this young man's ability to never act impulsively is truly admirable. If he were a mediocre person, nothing he could say would be of any use.
Now that a breakthrough has been opened, the next step will be easier. He said leisurely, "We can talk about everything else later, but this matter is actually your top priority. You are now leading a group of French, Greek, and Austrian people.
To complete a great cause is of course very good and glorious. The French people will definitely be excited about it, but accordingly you have to let them see something beyond the glory and see that you are more like a mortal.
Although it is contradictory to say so, the French do admire glory and like to dust off glory. In order to belittle the great figures among their own people, they even go so far as to spread rumors and slander, as if they can share a bit of nobility and life by seeing great figures disgraced.
It’s like it can add a bit of brilliance…”
Having said this, he looked at Aigron again, "In this case, instead of waiting for them to make up nonsense, you should depreciate yourself so that you can get closer to their pitiful intelligence and let them know that you are indeed one of them.
You can never be, and you can make them feel like you are.”
Edgar's sarcastic tirade sounded inexplicably reasonable, so much so that Egron was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect such insightful words to come from the mouth of a playboy like Edgar.
.
It seems that, after all, he was born in the Treville family, and no matter how frivolous and dissolute he is, he still has some vision and eloquence.
"I didn't expect that in addition to painting, you also have the talent of an orator." He couldn't help but praise Edgar, "Edgar, if one day we also have our Brumaire Coup, maybe you will consider going to the parliament for me in the future.
The podium is like that of Prince Lucien back then?"
"You are joking, Your Majesty... In your eyes, I am probably just a swinger who indulges in eating, drinking and having fun. And I admit that you are right. I am indeed such an insignificant person, and I never dream that I can
Become a great big shot..."
Edgar laughed self-deprecatingly as he spoke. "But even so, I am my father's only son after all, and I have the obligation to serve my father and our family. My father will never want to see our family in trouble."
He will be in decline after this generation. He will risk his life to keep his family afloat. In this case, as a son, I must help him. Even if my ability is limited, I must do my best now.
It is very obvious that the life and death of our family depends on you alone. Your success is our success, so I will do my best to add glory to you and advise you. Your Majesty, you can doubt my ability.
, but please never doubt my heart! Because every word I say is based on your interests!"
Edgar said these words loudly and forcefully, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm. The reason why his performance reached this level is mainly because most of them are indeed true.
He feared and respected his father, and his father was the only person he would truly consider in the world. He did not even have a place in his heart for his wife and children; and at present, the hope for the revival of the Treville family indeed lies in this young man.
Otherwise, why would he try so hard to please this young man?
Because of his true feelings, Aigron could not help but be infected by him.
He nodded movedly, "I will always keep your loyalty in mind."
"So Your Majesty, please think carefully. You need to get closer to the French people and let them know that you are not an Austrian prince far away, but a real Frenchman, a gorgeous and magnificent French king.
, you will, like the kings before you, let people talk about every anecdote about you..."
"How to do it?" Aigron asked subconsciously.
Hehe... It seems that this young His Majesty is not so unshakable...
Edgar smiled to himself, knowing that now was the time to show off.
"It's very appropriate for you to look at Agnes. She is the pride of our country, a being who is loved and respected by everyone... If you can have any anecdotes with her, I think the people will be envious and appreciate it, right?"
"A slight smile finally appeared on his serious face, "Similarly, if you win her heart, you can also win the recognition of a large group of people in an instant. After all, you have proven with your actual actions that you will never
Being an enemy of the French aristocracy..."
Aigron's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Edgar Yunshanwu had talked a lot and finally turned the topic back to this.
"Edgar, why do you want me to get close to Agnes so persistently? Don't forget that she is your sister-in-law. Don't you feel guilty inside?"
"Of course I feel bad about treating Agnes like this, but for the sake of the nation, for the empire...it is my duty to sacrifice my personal conscience." Edgar was already prepared for this question, so he immediately answered without any shame.
, "Your Majesty, I am thinking about you. Regardless of practical considerations or personal considerations, Agnes is worthy of being your best candidate. With her family background, her beauty, and her prestige,
None of it can provide you with real benefits, and wouldn't it be very pleasant to get along with her? I think if it can be realized, everyone will talk about the insignificant things between you and her. Hi, how do the French people understand?
What kind of moral preaching is there? A hundred sermons in the church are not as good as this. Their superficial eyes can only see the rags under the bed curtains!"
This statement made Aigron's expression become extremely strange, he was both angry and a little bit amused.
Whether it makes sense or not, Edgar's words all sound reasonable, but whether to follow them is another matter.
He is definitely not an idealist or a moral paranoid. No matter how unreasonable it is, he will do it if necessary.
It's just... Teresa is still worrying about herself at the rear, and the reinforcements she invited are also by her side. Is it really okay for her to do this?
His doubts were quickly observed by the keen Edgar.
"Your Majesty, these are just suggestions. I don't mean that you should do it immediately... To be honest, with Agnes's temper, if you act rashly before her heart is moved, then she will not care about your identity, and I am afraid she will directly attack you.
Take action... it would be too ugly to spread the word."
Seeing that he had coaxed the young man onto the road, Edgar continued to push diligently behind him, "I'm afraid I can't be your advisor on other matters, but on this matter, I'm more than enough to be your teacher.
With me by your side, you don't have to do anything, I will naturally help you. Besides, even if everything fails, it will be of great help to you just to be a good friend with her. Silly children like Agnes are stubborn.
, if she decides to work for you, she will stay with you until the end..."
Aigron actually believed this.
He lowered his head slightly and considered for a moment, and then finally made a decision.
"As I said before, I have more important things to do now, so let's not mention any nonsense. However, I also admit that your words are partially reasonable. Edgar, I will make those comments.
The most beneficial decision for us, I don’t need you to worry about me..."
Although his words sounded ambiguous, they were meaningful enough to Edgar's ears.
"Then I wish your Majesty all the best." He replied with a smile. "I want to stay by your side and witness your heroic actions. Even someone like Agnes will probably admire you."
"Edgar, you are really a smart man, but it's a pity... you are really not enterprising." As soon as Aigron said this, he couldn't help but shook his head, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and I don't want to force you.
Whatever you like to have fun is your freedom...but if you want, you can leave a clearer name in the history books."
"My ancestors have left clear enough names, so this hard work should not fall on my generation anymore... I am not that material, Your Majesty. If my children and grandchildren are willing to bear it, then I
I feel even more relieved." Edgar shrugged freely, "Fame and wealth can't bring me any happiness, but I would rather indulge in sex and use a paintbrush to record those thrilling beauties."
After a pause, he added, "Of course, I owe my father a lot in this life, so within the scope of my ability, I want to add glory to my father, and for this I am willing to do anything, no matter what."
I'm also very happy with things that are inhumane."
When he said these words, his attitude was extremely serious. Perhaps this was also the truest confession in his life.
The pressure his father brought to him didn't make him distressed...
Now that he has talked about this, Edgar feels that his goal today has been achieved.
Of course he knows how to do things step by step. For him, today's progress is enough to satisfy him.
He learned how to grasp the subtle realm of people's hearts in the Paris social scene, and now he seems to be able to apply it to foreign countries with ease.
However, after completing the task assigned by his father, he didn't want to do anything more for it.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty."
He saluted Aigron respectfully, then quietly turned around and left.
