Chapter 452 The possibility of becoming the King of Loen
After obtaining evidence from Auston that the second prince Charles was suspected of treason, Rawls has been considering how to use this evidence, but has never found a good method or opportunity.
Because although this evidence is true and valid, it involves the Levitt family and Prince Charlie. Not many people can make this evidence truly useful, and most of them will choose to use this evidence in exchange for benefits.
For Rawls, the suitable candidate he could find was Philip Negan, but he could not explain the source of this evidence. If it was released anonymously, the subsequent development would not be controllable. Although Philip has temporarily given up on Austrian
Due to the hatred of Stan, the relationship with the Leavitt family began to cooperate, but this cooperation was phased and could not last for long. If another piece of evidence is obtained, the accumulated conflicts may break out.
By then, the center of the storm may become Auston Leavitt.
This is inconsistent with Rawls's idea. He wants to use this incident to criticize Prince Charlie. It is best for him to commit suicide like Prince Edsac.
In this way, after the death of George III, if the eldest prince Winton makes any "mistakes", it will be difficult for Prince David, who is only 13 years old, to inherit the throne under the pressure of the war. Then the heir to the throne will be between the two princesses.
Namely, the birth between Princess Delina and Princess Caroline.
At that time, if nothing unexpected happened, Princess Delina had already married Ma Xi and Rawls. This seemed to give the throne to Princess Caroline, but one thing that still needs to be considered is that Rawls is Ma Xi.
The heir of Xi, while Maxi, Lunburg, and Segar were suffering from Fenebaud's attack, sharing the firepower for Loen.
When George III fails to become a god, Intis will also join the war and attack Loen together with Fusac.
At this time, the two sides in the war became Fusac, Intis, and Fenebaud versus Roen, Lundberg, Maxi, and Segal. From this point of view, the latter had no advantage at all. If it weren't for the carelessness of the God of War,
Losing my mother, the final outcome will be very clear.
From this point of view, as long as Rawls persists, he has a chance to put Delina on the throne, and even start a dual-king rule.
In Rawls' previous life, something like this happened in the corrupt country. At the expense of signing the "Bill of Rights" and with the backing of force, William III of the Netherlands succeeded in forcing his father-in-law James II to step down and his wife Mary.
The second generation started the co-ruling of the two kings.
Although the chance is slim, there is at least a glimmer of possibility. Failure will not have a strong negative impact. This is a characteristic of a world with extraordinary power and the existence of a true god, so he must try.
Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be martyred!
Based on this consideration, Rawls simply waited for the Levitt family to respond before considering it. After all, the evidence was in his hands, and he was not the one being roasted on the fire.
Under the leadership of Philip's valet, he came to the very familiar study room, and not surprisingly saw Prime Minister Aguhid.
This tall, thin, middle-aged man with thin hair looked up and down Rawls with sharp eyes, his expression was not very good. In his opinion, the Negan family had given Rawls too many benefits and only allowed him to take a risk.
It was just a risk, but Philip actually chose to refuse and let him hide out.
For Agushid, this only shows two things. First, Philip is not qualified as the leader of the Negan family. Second, compared to his uncle, Rawls can gain Philip's trust more.
After the assassination of Duke Negan, Philip believed in Rawls even more. He could understand that at that time he and Philip had different views on the future of the family and the Conservative Party. But now he has chosen to stand on his side and support his ideas, but
Still not getting enough trust.
This is undoubtedly unacceptable to Agushid, who has been in politics for decades and carries the Negan surname.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Prime Minister."
Rawls, who could probably guess Agushid's thoughts, didn't take it seriously either. He nodded and said hello, then looked at Philip and asked:
"I just saw Count Levitt's carriage leaving. Did something happen?"
Philip was not surprised by his uncle Agushid's reaction. Ever since he refused to let Rawls go to the Rhoside Islands, Agushid's view of Rawls had completely changed. In a previous meeting with important members of the Negan family
, mentioned Rawls many times and gave negative comments.
This allowed the tribesmen who were already dissatisfied with Philip to give part of the land in Sisson County to Rawls to use this as an excuse to blame him for his decision. Although the impact was not big, once this happened too often, it would be very difficult for him.
It's also a troublesome thing to say.
But he did not regret making this decision. He pointed to the chair beside him and said:
"Sit down first."
When Rawls sat down, Philip glanced at Agushid and said:
"You should have a clear understanding of what happened in the Rossed Sea last week. Earl Levit's visit this time is related to this matter."
"Is it related to Admiral Amyrius?"
Returning to Backlund, Rawls, who frequently attended banquets, did not hear anything about Olavi Island from other nobles, including Philip, who did not disclose it to him, so he could only think that he was a member of the Sino-Soviet Union.
Admiral Emilius, the supreme commander of the Nian Navy.
"No, it's Alston Leavitt."
Phillip gritted his teeth and spit out a name, but with an obvious smile on his lips.
"What happened to him?" Rawls pretended to be confused.
"Remember that we once suspected that Alston dared to smuggle new weapons because Prince Charlie was secretly supporting him?"
In fact, Rawls and Philip were not suspicious at first, but confirmed, because the prince's suspicion was too great, but there was no substantial evidence.
However, after hearing Philip's words, Rawls did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Prime Minister Agushed opposite, who probably only knew about this now.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, seeing his actions, Agushid's face became a little gloomier. Although he knew about Rawls' investigation of Auston late, he still knew that
When it comes to Prince Charlie, he really doesn't know.
"But now, we have evidence."
The smile on Phillip's lips could no longer be concealed, and his eyes stayed on the photo burned by cigarette butts on his desk.
But Rawls still frowned and said in a low voice:
"Even if there is evidence, it is not easy to get Prince Charlie to plead guilty, and it will not be good for the Negan family. Instead, it will arouse the hostility of the king and the royal family..."
Prince Charlie is different from Prince Edsac who committed suicide. The reason why the latter attracted interference from the three major churches was because he was involved with the Aurora Society and the Witch Sect.
But Charlie is different. Whether it is smuggling new weapons to the empire or leaking military intelligence, they are all political issues. The three major churches have no excuse to get involved. They cannot use off-site tactics. If you want to move to Charlie, you will need to expend the power of the Negan family.
, this is not worth the loss for the Negan family, whose political power has been reduced.
Even Prime Minister Agushed, who was dissatisfied with Rawls, couldn't help but nodded. No matter what, Charlie was a prince after all, and he was still a prince with certain power. For George III, who had already lost a son, he might really
Choose to keep him.
In this case, even if the hope of inheritance is slim, it will exist after all, and the power of the royal family is greater than that of any party or noble. The Negan family does not need to take such a big risk to do something without reward.
Phillip raised his finger, shook it, and said with a smile:
"No, this matter will be handled by the Levitt family."
The Levitt family? Rawls raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised. This was indeed something he had not expected.
"Earl Levitt came here just now to discuss this matter. In a few days, Amyrius will report Alston and inform the cabinet about him and Prince Charlie. The parliament has not yet been convened, so I will convene the people in Backlund.
The nobles and cabinet ministers will discuss this matter." As the Prime Minister, Agushid added.
Now that most of the nobles have returned to their fiefdoms, the Conservative Party accounts for the majority of the nobles staying in Backlund, and since the Conservative Party is in power, there is no problem in taking this opportunity to move Prince Charlie.
In this way, even though it was Amyrius who made the report, the Levitt family would not be less affected, and the Negan family could better consolidate its position among the conservative aristocracy.
Likewise, for Philip, Auston can also be sent to the gallows.
"How can this be?"
Rawls pretended to be incomprehensible and shook his head repeatedly. But he knew in his heart that judging from the fact that Emilius chose to give up Allston in the original work, this choice was indeed something he could make.
No matter how much outsiders speculate, as long as the Levitt family still has a demigod and bows its head properly and endures, there will always be a chance.
"Last week, Olavi was attacked by Nast. Everyone on the island fell asleep. This matter was sealed and few people knew about it. The Levitt family should have done this because of this matter, otherwise the Levitt family would have done so.
Count Werther will not take the initiative to clarify this matter with us."
"Being attacked?" Rawls stared at Phillip with wide eyes. Seeing that he didn't mean to elaborate, he was a little confused, "Then why you came to me..."
If Earl Leavitt had not lied, then this matter had actually been settled. Faced with the pressure exerted by the two major nobles of the Conservative Party, and the impact of last year's defeat, whether Prince Charlie could save his life depended on George
Does the third generation still have any father-son affection for him?
Agushid said to Rawls in a teaching tone:
"It's not that simple. There are still two problems. One is the Wolf family, and the other is the New Party. Although they will not object and are even happy to see such a result, they will definitely seize the opportunity to take action."

The Wolfe family is one of the three major conservative families, and its strength is inferior to the Negan family and the Leavitt family. But after the strength of the latter two weakens, will they be willing to continue to maintain the current situation?
The answer is most likely not, and once Count Wolfe takes any action, it means that there is likely to be a big fluctuation within the Conservative Party, and the new party will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Even if the Wolf family stands still, the new party may take this opportunity to start a battle with the Conservative Party to prepare for the general election.
"What my uncle means is to completely give up on this year's election and take this opportunity to consolidate the power of the Negan family and prepare for the next election."
Loen's general election is held every five years. In Aguhid's view, it is worth waiting for Philip, who is only in his early thirties this year. Five years later, Philip should have enough ability and majesty to integrate the family's power, plus the marriage
With the help you get, winning the election will be easy.
But it was difficult for Philip to accept it, even though he had already made such a plan when he took over the family. But under Rawls' plan, the Negan family retained most of its strength, and it also cooperated with the Levitt family and the Wolves.
The Wolf family has temporarily stood on a united front, which means they have no chance of winning the election.
Losing something that is so close to you often makes it even more uncomfortable.
So you have different opinions again, and you need me to take sides... Rolles suddenly felt a little tired, no wonder there were only three of them discussing this matter.
Before Rawls received the title, he was more of an adviser to Philip and had no chance to participate in the meetings within the Conservative Party and the Negan family. But now that he is Viscount Derrian, he is already qualified to be a member of the meeting.
I may only participate in small meetings like this, although these meetings are more private.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Rawls pinched his eyebrows and felt a little melancholy. Both options have advantages and problems for him.
Aguhid's idea can completely overthrow Charles, but it will have an impact on the general election. If the Conservative Party loses its position in power, Rawls's idea of ​​promoting Princess Delina to inherit the throne will be greatly hindered.
As for Philip's idea, if he could criticize Charles while retaining his strength, George III might protect him. Problems with his two sons in a short period of time would definitely arouse suspicion.
After going over the possible impact and the words of the two people in his mind, Rawls's eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered Agushid's words. The new party was also happy to see the Negan family and the Levitt family join forces to move them down.
Prince Charlie.
Yes, although the New Party and the Conservative Party have a hostile relationship, they have a common goal, which is to reduce the royal power to expand their own power. They just represent different classes.
Why was Duke Negan repeatedly assassinated? Isn't it because he was too influential, affecting the royal power and George III's path to change?
Earl Hall did not have this experience. On the one hand, there are parts of this change that he is happy to see. On the other hand, the new party he supports is still growing and does not have as much influence as the Conservative Party.
In fact, Audrey's father, Earl Hall, is the most special one among the nobles who support the new party.
From what happened to the Intis nobles, he saw that the privileges of the nobles would be gradually weakened, and only money was everything. So many years ago, despite strong opposition, he sold half of his fields and pastures and entered the banking industry.
He is not one of those aristocrats who owe money to bankers and big factory owners, because he himself stands with these people.
