Eagle’s Glory

After leaving Teresa to the Alice sisters, Aigron took Edgar to his private study.

At this time, Edgar felt quite complacent, but he also knew that this young man was not as easy-going as he looked, and he was really difficult to serve, so he also restrained his actions and did not dare to make any mistakes. .

Aigron stretched out his finger, signaling Edgar to sit on the sofa by the window.

"Edgar, how are you doing with the task I entrusted to you?" After he finished, Aigron went straight to the point.

"Since I got the order, I have devoted all my energy to creating the painting. Before I left, I had already finished the draft, Your Majesty. Besides, my father has already selected a place, and has secretly recruited some reliable people. In the future, he will print these paintings on a large scale and distribute them."

"Very well done." Aigron nodded with satisfaction, "General Treville will never let me down—please continue to work hard."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject again, "In the letter from the Marquis, he declared that he hoped to let Agnes play Joan of Arc, so that the believers can feel our righteousness more intuitively. I think this idea is very good. good."

Although both of them were tacitly aware that this was actually Aigron's own idea, but since Aigron himself refused to admit it, the Marquis de Treville was naturally very willing to take the blame.

"Your Majesty, you are a person who has had a deep friendship with Agnes. I think you are very aware of Agnes's temperament and demeanor. If even people like you can't help admiring her, then those foolish men and women will be more grateful." Falling in love with her. Of course, I dare not say that Agnes is as great as Joan of Arc, but they may have a spiritual resonance, and looking around us, there is probably no one more like her."

Although Aigron has never been very cold about Edgar's bright mouth, but at this time he deeply agrees, after all, this is also true.

"Then how can you get her to agree to this idea? I don't think she would be willing now." Aigron asked.

"You're right. I tried to find out what she meant before, but she sternly refused—" Edgar nodded, "Agnes is arrogant, she doesn't like to play another person, even if She adores Joan of Arc, but she doesn't want to."

Aigron had already guessed this result, but when Edgar said it again, he was still a little disappointed. "Then what can you do to make her change her mind?"

"Agnes is a very stubborn girl,

It's not easy for her to change her mind, and besides, she doesn't like me very much, and she won't take my words seriously..." Edgar was a little embarrassed, but quickly passed it over, "So start from her is difficult. But Agnes also has a big weakness, which is that she attaches great importance to her family-we can start with her family. "

Then, he told Egron exactly what Edmund Dantès and the Marquis de Treville had done together to cause the Duke's family to suffer huge property losses.

Edmund Dantès had previously reported to Egron his plan to disrupt the domestic financial market with Mr. Bowan, but Egron did not expect such unexpected developments to follow.

Originally, all of this was due to the Count of Monte Cristo himself, but when Edgar narrated, he turned his father into one of the incomparable leaders, thereby exaggerating his father's credit.

After all, for such a major action and such significant consequences, the Marquis de Treville naturally did not want all the credit to be taken away by others.

And the Count of Monte Cristo would not expose the Marquis de Treville's rhetoric in order to cover up the fact that he "revenges private revenge", so Edgar was naturally happy to add fuel to his father's glory.

Aigron didn't know the tricks involved, and he didn't care which of the earl or the marquis had more credit for it. His attention now has been put on the "Duke Nordleyn's family suffered heavy financial losses". In fact.

"How is the effect now?" He immediately regained his energy.

"My father didn't explain the specific situation to me. But before I left, the once-reputable Tanglar Bank's financial situation was in critical condition, and it was expected to go bankrupt in the short term—"

"Danglar Bank...?" As soon as he heard the name, Aigron probably understood what was going on, but he didn't have the intention to expose his subordinates' tricks.

"Yes, it is this bank." Edgar reconfirmed, "The Duke happens to be a big depositor of this bank, and there is no doubt that if this bank goes bankrupt immediately, the Duke will probably suffer heavy losses. It is estimated that... the amount may reach around two million."

As if afraid that Eggron would not understand, Edgar added, "Your Majesty, the Duke is a famous family, but his ancestral family business was either squandered before the Great Revolution; or it was confiscated by the government during the Great Revolution. So their family business was accumulated after the Duke's family returned to France—that is to say, if they suffered such a heavy financial loss, they would probably be seriously injured directly."

Eggron listened in silence, and then he couldn't help laughing. "Ha ha ha ha!"

It's not because he gloated, but because he finally found the key to open the situation.

The most important thing for Agnes is her family, so even if she can't break through, she can find a breakthrough from her family in a roundabout way-this point was faithfully implemented by his subordinates.

However, while laughing, he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

After all, the Marquis of Treville is both smart and powerful, and his attacks are vicious and vicious. If he doesn't make a move, he will hit others at the fatal place, and even his relatives can strike without any scruples... Really Has the posture of a hero.

Aigron had come into close contact with him when he dived back to France with Treville before, but now he is even more impressive to see him in such a hands-on operation.

After the fall of the empire, the Marquis de Treville has been openly expressing his continued support for the empire and the Bonaparte family. Before, he thought it was out of natural loyalty, but now it seems that most of them should be out of personal future considerations—— With his qualifications, if he wanted to turn against the water and join the Wang family, he might not have a good position to grab, so he might as well stick to his original position and gamble that the situation will turn upside down again.

This is the result of weighing the pros and cons.

The two words "cunning" and "foolish loyalty" cannot coexist, and the Marquis de Treville is undoubtedly the former.

There are two people, Treville and his son, no matter who they are, there is not much "foolish loyalty" in them.

Of course, he wouldn't be angry even if he saw through the truth. After all, it was the time for employing people. It was his luck to have someone like the Marquis de Treville serve him, and he didn't care where the other party's motives came from.

But having said that, it is necessary to take corresponding countermeasures - after all, heroes have great appetites, and ordinary rewards cannot be satisfied. They can be loyal to themselves for lofty goals today, and they may be loyal to themselves tomorrow. Abandoning yourself for a bigger goal is impossible if you are not prepared.

Aigron pondered silently. The crux of the problem was Edgar—although the Marquis was powerful, he was old after all. The prestige and influence of the Treville family will not pose a threat to themselves.

Therefore, he will definitely not reuse Edgar, and he must be excluded from the core of power. He must not allow the unrestrained growth of the heroic father and son, and keep them within a controllable range.

Well, Edgar, from now on you'll be a jester of idle cranes--maybe it's a good thing for yourself too. Eggron thought to himself.

As compensation, he can give honor and money to the Treville family, and even allow Xia Lu to have privileges, and no one can say that he is sorry for the hero.

Edgar never expected that the young man in front of him would have such thoughts in his heart, and he continued excitedly to Aigron, "Your Majesty, not only Tanglar Bank, but also in other places, we are also carefully Searching for all the investments of the Duke of Nordleyn, if he can defeat one, he must make the Duke suffer a heavy loss that cannot be recovered. Under such circumstances, he will definitely ask for help from all parties—but now this In the world, who is willing to spend their own money to make up for the loss of the Duke? I am afraid that even the king is too lazy to give the Duke such favors. Therefore, in desperation, in order to avoid the decline of his family, the Duke will definitely try his best to find straws Yes, and in that case, presumably he would not be so resistant to the Bonaparte family."

"Then would he be willing to make his daughter compromise?" Aigron asked back, "Judging from Alice and Agnes' description, the Duke should love his daughter very much—"

"Of course love is love, that's true. But for nobles, the inheritance of a family is more important than a certain child, Your Majesty." Edgar suddenly became solemn, "If you sacrifice Agnes, you can make The family remains intact and my father-in-law will make the right choice."

Having said that, he changed the subject again, "Besides, Your Majesty, if you can rule France, then you will be the emperor to whom all of us must serve. It is a great honor to have your daughter be your lover. How could he feel that What about the grievance?"

Aigron knew that the latter sentence was Edgar's intention to compliment himself, and he would not take it seriously. Thinking about it, the duke, who has been against the empire for half his life, will definitely not be happy when he sees his two daughters, one has become the wife of a servant of the Bonaparte family, and the other has become his lover...

But what the hell! As long as they achieve their goals, it doesn't matter what they think.

Moreover, this is the only feasible way at present.

"They lost two million, and they may lose a lot of money in the future. It is indeed worthy of pity." Aigron said leisurely, "However, as long as he is willing to change the family, I can let him recover the loss several times. As for the family, then Don't worry, the former emperor used to respect the old nobles who were willing to take refuge in him. For example, your father was promoted to general shortly after he came back; I will naturally do the same. We can let go of the past enmity, and no one needs to care about it .”

From a political point of view, if the Agnes family is devoted to her, it can also be used as a demonstration to support them, so that those old nobles who are skeptical can see that they have no tyranny to liquidate and retaliate. It can be regarded as the best of both worlds. .

Therefore, he quickly came to the same conclusion as the Marquis of Treville—now it is necessary to hit the Duke of Nordleyn's family as hard as possible. Only in this way can they break their aura of arrogance and let them Willing to bend the knee to myself.

"Very well done." He nodded, "But you must keep it a secret, this is not an honorable thing for us."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, all the people who dealt with it are people we can trust. What's more, no one knows what the purpose of targeting the Duke is except the Earl and my father!" Edgar quickly explained to him, " Besides, even if things go wrong, you have no responsibility - after all, all this was done secretly by two people, the Count of Monte Cristo and my father, without your knowledge, and we didn't write to you beforehand No one can accuse you of any plot against the duke without saying a word about it."

Aigron was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder neither of them reported to him before, and only now let Edgar tell him face to face.

Obviously, it is a done deal now, even if Agnes learned about this later, when questioning, she can argue that "I intended to stop it, but it was too late when I learned about it".

The Count of Monte Cristo and the Marquis of Treville took the initiative to recite all the responsibilities on their own.

Things have been done so properly, it is really worthwhile for me to lead them as my confidantes and entrust them with such trust.

There will definitely be heavy rewards in the future, but now you only need to record this credit in your heart.

"You have done a good job, let's continue to do it—" Aigron raised his index finger and made a gesture that I already understood everything, "Since you can take care of yourself, you don't have to ask me for everything. Just incredible trust, and gratitude."

After he finished speaking, he patted Edgar on the shoulder lightly, almost saying that I am relieved to handle the matter.

Edgar couldn't help feeling flattered, because this young man had never been so kind to him before—of course he knew in his heart that this kindness was actually for his absent father.

"Agnes is good at everything, but her feelings are simple and impulsive, and she is easily deceived. If there is no protection from our own people in the future, what will she be deceived by others? As relatives and friends, we should protect her from being deceived. Hurt." Aegron suddenly let out a long sigh.

Even Edgar couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard such upside-down words, but he has been tested in the social field after all, so after a moment of stiffness, his face immediately changed into a smile, "Yes , Your Majesty! We should protect her well."

You are the only one who can lie to her.
